Chapter 53: Military Dependents

"Official, when are you coming again?"

Seeing that Yan Gao was about to leave after putting on his clothes, the woman on the bed was lying in the quilt, revealing half of her snow-white fragrant shoulders, and asked lazily.

"Look at it again, my lady is watching closely, I have to be careful."

Thinking of his wife at home, Yan Gao felt a little weak in his heart.

"Isn't it just a widow, what's the big deal. It's a big deal, the two of you break up, and the two of us will live together. ”

The woman put on her clothes and leaned against the head of the bed, looking very disdainful.

"The two of us live, what to eat and drink, is it possible to steal and rob it?"

Yan Gao thought of his wife, although he was domineering, he had a good heart. The key is that she has a pension, which is enough for the two of them to live on a daily basis.

Seeing that Yan Gao's tone was wrong, the woman immediately changed color, she quickly got dressed and got out of bed, came over and hugged Yan Gao's arm.

"Official, I'm going to say that. You have to remember to come to see me often. ”

"Okay, okay, I'll definitely find time."

Yan Gao was irritable and tried his best to suppress it.

"Official, I still want it."

The woman believed that she was young and beautiful, her eyes flowed, and she began to grope on Yan Gao.

"Not now, I'll go back quickly, otherwise I don't know what else will happen?"

Yan was completely happy, parted the woman's arms, opened the door and walked out.

"Cowardly as a mouse!"

The woman cursed fiercely, closed the door, and went back to the bed to continue lying down.

When passing by the front of Xuanfu Si's door, seeing those scholars sitting quietly in the cold wind, Yan Gao hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head and walked away.

"It's cold and frozen, sitting here and drinking the northwest wind, stupid."

Yan Gao muttered and turned to leave.

Although he was also a scholar, Yan Gao's life was much shabby. The ancestor is just an ordinary small businessman, and his own reading is also average, and he doesn't have much talent, and ordinary people can't be ordinary anymore.

Useless is a scholar. His parents died young, he barely survived by selling his property, and his livelihood was difficult due to repeated wars, and finally his house was sold, and he wandered around all day long, becoming a wandering prodigal son who everyone hated.

The Jin people ravaged Hebei, hundreds of people fled into the city of the Daimyo, and there were not a few rich and noble families. Yan Gao, with his "handsomeness", was fortunate to get acquainted with the widow of a loyal and righteous army officer, and the two tied the knot, and finally solved their own food and clothing accommodation problems.

Before walking into his house, Yan Gao calmed down his uneasy mood, pushed open the door, and walked into the courtyard.

"Lady, I'll ...... back"

Seeing several soldiers in military uniforms in the courtyard, Yan Gao, who wanted to lie to his wife, was stuck in his throat with the words he could say.

"Official, what did you do last night? Why are you only coming back now? ”

The wife came out of the house, looked at Yan Gao, and made a straight face.

"Lady, these people are ......"

Yan Gao was puzzled. Are these sergeants here to give the bereavement?

Although she was unhappy in her heart, the wife still wanted to save some face for her husband in front of others.

"This is the gendarme brother in the army, one is here to send a pension, and the other is to find you something."

She cautiously looked at the cold-faced gendarme next to her, and said with a low smile: "Brother, what are you looking for my family officials to do?"

"You're Yan Gao?"

The gendarme's eyes were cold, and he looked at Yan Gao.

"I ...... It is. ”

Yan Gao was uneasy, and from the eyes of the military police, he already felt that something was wrong.

"Smack!"

As soon as Yan Gao finished speaking, he had already received a hard slap in the face. Before he could react, several sergeants next to him stepped forward and surrounded Yan Gao, punching and kicking.

Yan Gao lay on the ground, holding his head, and the ghost cried wolf.

"What are you going to do?"

Seeing that Yan Gao was beaten and rolled to the ground begging for mercy, Yan's wife hurriedly stepped forward, pulled away several sergeants, and protected Yan Gao on the ground.

Several sergeants didn't kill at all, and their purpose was only to teach Yan Gao a lesson.

"Sister-in-law, you don't know, this guy has nothing to do all day and has raised a prostitute outside. If you don't teach him a lesson today, he doesn't know that Lord Ma has three eyes!"

Yan Gao's nose was blue and his face was swollen, and he said sharply: "It's just a prostitute, is it necessary to kill him?"

Yan's wife was stunned for a moment, then slapped Yan Gao in the face, followed by a series of beatings and scolding, and picked up Yan Gao on the ground.

"You have no conscience, I will provide you with food, clothing, and money, and you will raise private prostitutes outside, are you worthy of me?"

Yan Gao wanted to get angry, but several sergeants next to him stared at him fiercely, so he held his head and kept silent.

"Sister-in-law, you don't have to hit him. We will take him away, re-educate him through labor for a year, and then release him back. ”

Hearing this, Yan's wife was stunned on the spot, and her hands and feet stopped beating Yan Gao.

Yan Gao's face turned pale, and he immediately screamed.

"You can't do this, it's our husband and wife's own business! You can't do that!"

"This is a matter in the army, my sister-in-law is a family member of a soldier, you are sabotaging the military marriage!"

The gendarmes who took the lead had cold eyes, and their words were even more chilling.

"In addition to the fact that you are going to be arrested and sent to labor camp for one year, your good friend will also be imprisoned for three years, you are sabotaging military marriage. However, the two of you should not have a chance to meet. ”

The gendarme waved his hand, and the two sergeants next to him stepped forward and pulled Yan Gao up from the ground, and a pair of shackles were already on Yan Gao's hands.

Yan's wife was stunned, and the gendarmes turned their heads.

"Sister-in-law, you can go see him at any time. If you want to go over with him, you can choose for yourself when he finishes re-education. If you don't want to live with him, the army will then give you an official certificate. ”

The sergeants pressed Yan Gao and walked out, Yan Gao turned around and cried loudly as he walked: "Lady, I was wrong, I don't dare anymore, do you remember to come back to see me!"

"Young ghosts cry wolf! If you know today, why bother in the first place. If you're idle all day, you just can't change eating!"

"You are a woman's wreck, you really think that the families of soldiers are easy to bully! When you get to the mine, let's go for a good transformation! ”

The sergeant pushed Yan Gao and walked out of the room, and Yan's wife suddenly sat down on the ground.

"How should I live in the future?"

Military marriages are still protected by law, and the status of soldiers under the rule of the Xuanfu Division can be imagined.

Everyone knows that the military is a priority, and the convenience of life can be seen everywhere, which is to improve the status of the military in politics.

In addition, the salaries and benefits of the soldiers, as well as the generous pensions and the work care of the veterans, have greatly enhanced the martial style and enthusiasm of the two rivers.

The Xuanfu Division is naturally extremely happy, but the improvement of the status of the military has made those frustrated under the system indignant and unbearable.

Among these frustrated people, the most outrageous ones are naturally the readers.

"Our students, who study weekdays, read the doctrine of the sages, think that the Xuanfu Division is a scholar, and serve the court with what they have learned in their hearts to appease the people. Who knew that the Xuanfu Division was reckless in military force, promoted martial arts and suppressed literature, and the martial arts were well paid, and they entered the house, and the scholars had no way to serve the country, and they were destitute and difficult. I implore the Xuanfu Department to give the scholars the opportunity to find employment, and reopen the imperial examination, so as to reassure the people of the world. ”

In front of the gate of the Xuanfu Division, the scholar who was sitting quietly in the cold wind finally stood up with a blue face and began to shout and shout loudly after a period of silence.

Since the Xuanfu Division is still hanging the banner of the imperial court, in the hearts of these scholars, the Xuanfu Division should open a department to recruit scholars, instead of setting up a "Juxian Hall" or an "administrative school".

Without the imperial examination, scholars naturally could not obtain fame, and they could not obtain fame, which meant that they could not enter the official examination, and their future was bleak.

Most of the men who staged the sit-in were destitute people over the age of 30. Lianghe abolished the imperial examination, set up a new-style school, and took talents and knowledge, and these scholars, who had read the Four Books and Five Classics since childhood, were useless, except for a few people, most of them became unemployed vagrants.

No one can do it. This is the reality, and this is how the old and uneducated scholars are ruthlessly abandoned by reality.

The job is gone, and I must come out to make trouble. The law does not hold the public accountable, maybe a demonstration, there will be a different result.

"Yang Zaixing, it's time to eat, it's winter, it's not easy for big guys, bring out all the rice and soup, let the big guys not freeze."

In the Xuanfu Sitang, after hearing the sit-in demonstration of the scholars, Wang Song smiled lightly and shook his head.

"Isn't Xianggong Mo going to resume scientific research?"

Li Ruoxu saw that Wang Song was not angry, and asked suspiciously.

"This is the policy of the Xuanfu Division, how can it be changed overnight!"

Wang Song shook his head and said with emotion: "After taking the scientific examination for a lifetime, it was suddenly canceled, which is indeed a little unfair to them. If it weren't for the two rivers being broken, it would not be easy to cancel the imperial examination. ”

He stood up and said to Li Ruoxu on the side:

"Gong Li, let's go out for a while, take a look at these demonstrators, and talk to them."

The hot soup and hot rice were hot, and the hundreds of readers outside no longer looked like readers, and began to feast, eat and drink.

Everyone was burping, and when there was no toothpick, Wang Song walked out.

"Wang Xianggong, you can't favor one over the other, leave me alone!"

Seeing Wang Song, those cynical people who were resentful and even wanted to make trouble also became calm.

"Don't worry, big guy, listen to me."

Wang Song waited for everyone to calm down before he spoke out loud.

"Ladies and gentlemen, under the rule of the Xuanfu Division, it has been banned. You can do the math and ask, how many people can be selected for the imperial examination, and under the rule of the Xuanfu Division, how many scholars are used?"

Wang Song raised his palms and said loudly: "It's 10 times, the number of officials in the Xuanfu Division this year is 970, which is more than three times more than the number of scholars in the three-year imperial examination."

The crowd outside whispered, and some looked at each other, but they all stopped talking.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is a way to carry the Tao, the sages have clouds, change is common, and the general is long, if you can't keep pace with the times and adapt yourself to the decree of the Xuanfu Division, it is really useless to be a scholar."

"Wang Xianggong, after reading the sage books all his life, is it too difficult for a strong person to learn those strange skills and tricks now? There are a lot of people in the family, but they all have to eat! ”

"It's not a trick, it's a practical learning, it's the craft of eating."

Wang Song shook his head. Some people still don't understand that this era has changed dramatically. The knowledge they have learned is already non-mainstream.

"I can tell you that what the Xuanfu Division needs are capable officials, craftsmen, and skilled technicians, and these people are the talents that the Xuanfu Division wants. Those who want to be high-ranking officials, don't even think about it, what the Xuanfu Division needs is people who do things. ”

After a generous speech, Wang Song slowed down.

"If you are really in difficulty at home and living in poverty, the Propaganda and Welfare Department will make statistics, take care of them as appropriate, and distribute certain living needs every month. You still have to rely on yourself, find things to do, and get through the difficulties together with the Xuanfu Division. ”

Wang Song turned around and entered the Xuanfu Division, and the shouts behind him continued.

"Xianggong Wang, don't go!"

"Xianggong Wang, it's so easy to find something to do!"

Li Ruoxu walked out and shouted loudly.

"It's too cold, let's all go back, if you get sick, you have to pay to see a pharmacist. Now that Fanzi is going south to do evil again, everyone should not disturb Wang Xianggong anymore. ”

Everyone dispersed, and Li Ruoxu shook his head. The changes of the times are always accompanied by labor pains and helplessness that cannot be removed.
