The capital of the country.

"How can this be reasonable, the new compulsory military service system actually makes all adult men have to serve in the military, and we scholars are no exception, is there any royal law?"

A scholar from the National Prison held the Ming Morning Post and said very angrily.

"Isn't it, the dynasty has always treated scholars and doctors well, and we scholars have always been treated preferentially, so can't we not go to this new military service?"

Someone listened and said in disbelief.

In this era, everything is inferior, only reading is high, and the identity and status of the reader are beyond doubt.

Not to mention that after the examination is lifted, the salted fish turns over, even if you don't get the lifter, just a showman, it also has a lot of preferential treatment, such as you can not be tolerant, free of field grain, see officials do not kneel, you can also use slaves and maids, you can be exempted from punishment, and you can also have some privileges to wear, etc.

If you can be promoted, it will be really amazing, not only can you be exempted from all kinds of taxes, forced labor, etc., but you can also be an official and become an official.

From here, we can know that the status of the scholars in the Ming Dynasty is really very high.

In the past, they have always enjoyed many privileges and enjoyed a high status, and naturally they have developed the arrogance of these readers, and in each other's eyes, they have not put anyone else in their eyes except for the readers.

Even above the court, those civil servants often don't even look at the emperor in their eyes, and the former Hubu Shangshu Zhou Jing often sprayed Emperor Hongzhi's face with spittle, as for the officials, imperial history, Hanlin and the like, it is even more iron-clad and bullish, and a pair of Lao Tzu is the best boy in the world, and no one is convinced.

Well, the new compulsory military service system does not even give these scholars any privileges, as long as they meet the age, whether you are a scholar or not, you have to serve in the military.

This makes the mentality of these readers explode.

"The newspaper is clearly written, all men between the ages of sixteen and twenty-five are required to serve in the military, whether they are scholars or not, and the newspaper issued by the imperial court is also clearly written, and we people are going to be Qiu Ba."

Someone was holding a newspaper and looking in pain.

In the eyes of these scholars, they look down on those who dance knives and guns, and look down on soldiers the most.

For them, let alone being a soldier, even if they go to be a general, a thousand, a hundred households, or something, it is also a loss of identity and price, even if the British public Zhang Mao comes to them, they don't care about it, and they don't look down on these soldiers at all.

Their ideal is to be named on the gold list and the champion to parade on the street, and it is definitely not something like a drunk and lying on the battlefield, a wolf and a wolf, etc., and going to be a soldier seriously deviates from their values and outlook on life.

"How can this be reasonable~How can this be reasonable~"

"It's insulting to Sven, it's insulting to Sven~"

"We're scholars, how can we be that Qiu Ba?"

"Yes, resolutely not going, resolutely not going~"

The scholars of Guozijian were furious, and they were all very angry, constantly shouting.

Then some of the scholars shouted together that they wanted to go outside the palace, to ask Emperor Hongzhi to exempt them from military service, and that even if they died, they would never go to the army.

Wangyue Tower in the capital.

With the promulgation of the new compulsory military service system, it has suddenly become the focus of discussion among the old and young masters in the entire capital, and the same is naturally true here in the Moon Tower.

"The people are suffering, and the people are suffering~"

"It's not been long since the good days, and the imperial court has come out with such a system again, which used to be soldiers were all those broken military households, but now it's okay, we are all going to be soldiers."

Someone couldn't help but sigh.

In the past two years, everyone has indeed had a good life, the income is high, and the fish and meat in the ocean allow everyone to eat meat every day, and the small life is prosperous.

Now, as soon as the new military system of the imperial court came out, there was a sudden mourning all over the country, and everyone was afraid when they talked about this military service.

"But isn't it, the life of this soldier is the cheapest and the most broken, and even future generations will be affected, and they will be a broken military household for generations."

Someone nodded and said.

"You don't have to be too anxious, this time it's just to recruit 10,000 recruits from our entire Beizhili, not everyone has to be a soldier, didn't the newspaper say it, what kind of physical examination is required, only those who have passed the physical examination can go to the army."

Some people watched carefully and didn't worry at all.

"If you don't want to be a soldier, when the time comes, you can dredge and dredge with the people of the yamen, and you can pass the inspection, so you don't need to worry."

"The entire Northern Zhili recruits 10,000 people, and if you calculate it, one government is only recruiting more than 1,000 people, and not everyone really wants to be a soldier."

Hearing this man's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Actually, I carefully studied this new military system, this time the imperial court is obviously determined to carry out reform, this to be a soldier is still a lot of benefits, you see a person as a soldier, the whole family can be exempted from conscription, taxes, this is a privilege that only scholars can enjoy, this alone, I think it can attract many people to become soldiers."

"Seems pretty good~"

After listening to this, someone also nodded and said.

"It's not just good, it's just very generous, being exempt from conscription and taxes as a soldier was something that I couldn't have imagined before."

"This military service is four years, and once the four years are over, you can still come back."

"We are afraid that if we are a soldier, it will be a lifelong thing, and if we become a soldier for a lifetime, it will be over, and what is even more terrible is that if this policy changes and changes back to the previous military household system, isn't this a military household for generations?"

"If this becomes a military household, the children and grandchildren will be military households, and they will not even be able to study, and they will not be able to take the imperial examination."

"Yes, the affairs of the imperial court, who knows if it will change, maybe the new military system will not be able to get it, and the original military household system will be restored, and when the time comes, those military households will be out of the country, and those who go to serve as soldiers will become new military households, and they will be broken military households for generations, and they will be the private slaves of those Qiu Ba."

"That's right, resolutely not to be a soldier, I'll ask someone to go to the yamen now, and when the time comes for the physical examination, the second and third children of my family will not be qualified."

"A military household is not deserved, once you become a military household, it will really be over."

Someone said worriedly, and this person's words also resonated.

Everyone is very aware of the situation of military households, and is very aware of the situation of those dilapidated military households, who are as humble as grass, the most poor, the most dilapidated, and the key is to go to the battlefield, and all generations, children and grandchildren must be restricted by the military household system, and they cannot learn crafts or rely on the imperial examination.

"The policy of the imperial court should not change overnight, and it has been clearly written above, military service is only four years, during military service, there is still a moon ringing, all expenses go to the imperial court, plus you can be exempted from conscription and taxes at home, in fact, it is still very good."

"In addition, didn't it be said above, this military service can also be taught by someone for free, if you succeed in learning, this military service is over, and you can also go to the imperial examination."

Some people think that it can't be done, but some people think that under this new compulsory military service system, it seems that being a soldier is still a very good choice.

Many conditions are clearly written, and the imperial court obviously attaches great importance to this military system reform and gives preferential treatment in all aspects.

In the past, when I was a soldier, I really had no identity, no status, and no future.

But now it's different, there are many benefits to being a soldier, and it won't affect your future future, you can still do what you like after being a soldier.

It is the scholars who can continue to study, continue to rely on the imperial examination, the peasants can become farmers, and even the imperial court will find ways to solve the problem of work, and there is no need to worry about the way out after retirement.

"Even if it is written in a fanciful manner, I will not let my son become a soldier, and I will not go~"

Someone said very firmly.

The concept of shabby military households is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is difficult to change it all at once.

"Yes, I won't let my son go to the army~"

"Anyway, you have to have a physical examination, as long as you don't pass the physical examination, you don't have to go, and you don't have to worry about anything."

"In short, it's good to do anything, but you can't be a soldier, and it's over as a soldier!"
