That night, after everyone had retired, he looked at the mess of cups and plates at the feast, and Heifu smiled.

"When everyone left, they should have been shocked by my bold words......

"Brother, not only them, but I am also immersed in my brother's words, and this will not be relieved." The one on the side said in surprise.

He looked up at Heifu, and there was a trace of uneasiness in his eyes: "Brother Zhong, the prince and the general, isn't it really destined by nature?" Why do people always tell me that I am born noble? ”

He was still a little hesitant, because in Nanjun, which had been ruled by the Chu State for hundreds of years, the bloodline theory was very popular.

The kings of Chu in all dynasties are known as Zhurong bloodline, and the golden writing of his clan is not the "bear" of later generations, but "酓" (yǎn), whose pictographic meaning is to sacrifice to the sky with bud grass shrinkage wine, a sense of the divine mandate of heaven. Since the queen of Chu Wu, in the past five hundred years, there have only been two Ling Yin who are not from the royal family, and one of them, Wu Qi, because he wanted to abolish the hereditary system of the feudal monarch of Chu and suppress Shiqing, was attacked by a group of people, and did not end well.

As a result, this idea of "born noble" is still very popular among the people of Nanjun.

Faced with his younger brother's doubts, Heifu asked him rhetorically: "Remember the stories I told you, Fu Shuo lifted between the plates, the glue was lifted in the fish and salt, and the Guan Yi Wu was raised in the scholars, are these people born to be virtuous?" It's not from a humble background! ”

"In addition, the Yun family is also of noble birth and is a descendant of the ancient Yun Kingdom, but where is Yun Man now? I came from a humble background, born to the same mother as you, and I was once also a soldier of the Qian, and I was not named, where am I sitting now? ”

Thinking about it this way, Heifu only felt that he was really an inspirational model, just in terms of background, he was even more dick than Liu Bang and Chen Sheng!

Fortunately, he did not fall to the Shang and Zhou dynasties, nor did he fall to the Spring and Autumn Period, but came to the end of the Warring States period.

The history of China can be divided into the era of Shiqing Shilu with "seed" and the era of imperial bureaucracy with "seedlessness". The former is better than ability, and the latter is better than birth. These two eras happened to take the Warring States, Qin, and Han as the dividing point, and the Heifu and their families stood in the changing world.

The wars of the Warring States have torn the high walls of Shiqing Shilu in the Spring and Autumn Period, the princes fell, the scholars rose, and the scribes, warriors, and strategists from humble backgrounds entered and exited the courts of various countries, ranking as ministers, and the prime minister must start from the state department, and the slogan that the fierce general must be issued in the army was also shouted out in a grand manner.

Unlike Chu, who continued to follow the hereditary old path, the Qin state's military merit system went to the other extreme: "Those who have military merits will be knighted at their own rate." That is to say, all those who have military merits, regardless of their origin or class, can enjoy the knighthood, and military merit is the most necessary condition for receiving the reward of the knighthood.

In addition, "unless the clan has military merits, it shall not be a subordinate membership." This was the abolition of the hereditary privileges enjoyed by the nobility of the clan, who could no longer obtain high-ranking officials and titles based on blood relations alone, as in the past. It is said that even Qin Wangzheng's younger brother Cheng Ji was not knighted at first, and he became a feudal monarch by sending an envoy to Korea and obtaining a lot of land and cities for Qin.

From there is a seed to no seed, after a long period of foreshadowing, it is by no means shouted out by Chen Sheng in a word. The sentence "The prince will have a kind of Xiangning", the greatest merit is to bring down the emperor of the eternal line.

Heifu doesn't dare to shout like that now, it's a rebellion, cleverly change it, and let it be combined with the military merit system.

A person's achievements are made, not born. Destiny is in your own hands, and only by your own efforts can you change the unequal fate!

Having said that, in the Qin State, the average Qianshou soldier, even if he was beheaded and promoted all the way to the throne after hitting the Great Luck, he could become a public passenger at most, and it would be difficult to rise after that. It's a ceiling of class mobility, and before Heff, I don't know how many people hit it headlong and their heads bleed.

Because there are more than five doctors, it is equivalent to "Qing", and they began to record their names separately.

But Heifu threatened, saying that he wanted to break through this ceiling, and first set a small goal for himself: Fenghou! Desh!

This ambitious statement made the Lixian, Dongmen Leopard, Ji Ying, and Xiao Tao present wake up suddenly, making their scalps numb, and they felt that a new door had been opened in front of their eyes!

Everyone didn't dare to have the same ambition, but they also understood that if Heifu could really go that far, of course, their followers would not be less beneficial.

Doctor? County lieutenant? Maybe there's hope for it to go even further!

So, the day after I went back, the spirit of the originally lazy and lazy people was renewed!

Dongmen Leopard no longer yelled and hugged his son all day long, and after returning to the township, he turned out the halberd that he had not practiced for a long time, and compared it one by one.

Xiao Tao also stepped up the training of the crossbow officer, and he suddenly found his goal: to do his best to assist Heifu!

Ji Ying also quietly changed his ambition of "being a doctor" to "being an official doctor!" ”

Leham was more diligent in his official duties, assisting Heifu in preparing for military training.

Even the surprise of graduating before the war, after returning to the school, picked up the boring laws and recited them again.

Hefu saw all this and was very satisfied.

"On the day I first took office, the county commander Yonghe said to me, the government is the car, the officials are the horses, and we are all driven by people."

"But it seems to me that my ambition is like that of a chariot, and I can't push it on my own, so why aren't people my horses? In terms of resourcefulness and potential, of course, they can't be compared with a horse like Chen Ping, they are just ordinary mules and horses in the county and township, not fast, but they are very loyal, listen to my instructions, and do it steadily. These horses have different temperaments, hobbies, tiredness, laziness, and must be pushed from time to time in order not to leave them behind! ”

……

After spurring his subordinates, Heifu also threw himself into the intense recruitment work in Anlu County.

According to the county's plan, each county drew up a list of conscripts in May, conducted small-scale queue training in townships and pavilions in June, continued reorganization in the county seat in July so that they could recognize the golden drum banner, and distributed weapons and conducted joint tactical training in August......

However, in June, there was a major case in Anlu County, the local order was somewhat chaotic, and the recruitment process was also delayed, and the current progress was much slower than planned.

Heifu asked Lixian to show himself the draft list, the Qin State was a universal conscription system, and when he reached the age of 17, he had to be entered into his hometown and be ready to enlist at any time!

Young people between the ages of 17 and 20 mainly served in conscription, that is, building walls and roads, transporting grain, etc., Heifu did the work of repairing walls in the county, and was also dragged to escort prisoners last time.

And after the age of 20, he is "strong", and he must continue to be a pawn and a pawn. One year in the local troops of the county, that is, the county soldiers, and one year in the frontier or central garrison.

Of course, most of the people in Nanjun didn't have the opportunity to go to Xianyang and directly stationed nearby, anyway, Nanjun itself is a border area. It was in these two years of military life that the loosely disciplined Qianshou was trained by military law to become an orderly soldier, and with the concept of queues and the ability to recognize the golden drum, when he heard that he was going to fight, he would not show a look of fear, but would be happy when he heard about the war.

After the completion of their service in the standing army, all young men of appropriate age are transferred to the reserve, and in addition to serving one month of conscription in the county every year, they must be conscripted into the army as soon as a war breaks out and they are selected. They are not exempt from service until they are 56 years old (for those with a title) or 60 (for those without a title).

Unlike the last battle to destroy Chu, the Qin State was somewhat hasty and haphazard in recruiting troops, but this time, the entire Nanjun carried out this summer's conscription work in strict accordance with the "Military Law".

Lixian is indeed a cadre, and he is familiar with everything in the county lieutenant's office, and he presents a simple slip and says: "County lieutenant, Anlu County has one county town, more than 1,000 households, and three townships, Beijiao Township, Yunmeng Township, and Zhuanshui Township, and there are a total of 30 pavilions in the three townships, and each pavilion has five to ten miles. ”

"According to the old practice of conscription in previous years, there will be one soldier in each rank, and the old man or the captain will serve as the captain and the chief; The two pavilions together sent 50 troops, selected a pavilion chief to serve as the tun chief, and then a conscripted county official as a hundred generals. In this way, Bai, Tun, Shi, and Wu are all composed of township parties who know each other well! ”

This is the Qin State of all the people who are soldiers and classical militarism! In peacetime, grass-roots organizations can be transformed into military formations in wartime, and they hold different positions in the army according to the titles of the draftees......

In this way, just the three townships can send nearly 1,000 troops, plus the soldiers recruited by the county seat, when there are more than 1,000 people, it has reached the number of people required by Li You.

They will be organized into a rate, with Heifu, the county lieutenant, as the leader, and under them there are two five hundred masters, one short guard hundred generals, and heavy logistics personnel such as medical and first aid personnel.

Heifu thought secretly: "Speaking of which, in the future, the nine hundred people that Chen Sheng and Wu Guang participated in to defend Yuyang are also a rate composed of two counties, right?" The two also became the commanders, and the two officers who were killed were actually county lieutenants! ”

Of course, Heifu would not let this kind of thing happen in advance, so he asked Lixian to carefully draw up the list, give priority to the conscription of the propertied people, and not let the proletarian Lu Zuo join the army! Evil boys and light heroes, this is the destabilizing factor in the army.

"I want an elite army composed of the children of the Anlu Liang family! Merchants and workers are included in the baggage team! ”

He made this arrangement: "All townships and pavilions must complete the conscription before the first day of the seventh month, train in the townships and pavilions for ten years, organize the march, and wait for July 10 to bring everyone to the county seat to assemble!" ”

And when the conscripts from various townships were about to gather in the county seat to receive training as a black county lieutenant, Heifu was also discussing a personal matter.

Uproot!

When the county Shouteng was in the county, he praised the method of composting and manure that greatly improved the grain production of Nanjun, and made great contributions to the country and the people......

Not only is the title high, but he was also recruited into Anlu County to be a Tian Zuo official, as Tian Qifu's deputy, equivalent to the later "deputy director of the County Agricultural Bureau", and will come to take office at the end of June.

In this way, the three brothers are all in the county, so they can't leave their mother alone at home, right? So, after discussing with Hezi, Shock, and his mother, he made a decision: move his family to Anlu County!

Heifu completed the household registration procedures at the county order office, and went back to his hometown during the break, and saw the leafy banyan tree in the sunset of Yunmeng Township from afar, Heifu was a little reluctant, the broken old door of the house, the yellow dog that was getting old, every brick and tile, there was the warmth of home everywhere.

But after all, he still has to go, and his family and home involuntarily follow the footsteps of Heifu.

The next day, seven or eight ox carts, rented or borrowed, pulled all kinds of belongings that the mother was reluctant to throw away, set off to the county seat, standing in the sunset, while dealing with the congratulations and congratulations of the villagers, a narrow thought flashed in Heifu's heart.

"From now on, my family will also have a town hukou!"
