Today is the first day of life for Qi Sanduo's recruit company.

In the past two days, I first wore red and hung colors, warmly welcomed, held mobilization meetings, and today put on the new colorful clothes, which the chief said were camouflage, and sat on the small stool one by one, listening to the elder's lectures.

In the evening, Qi Sanduo really ate the legendary big banquet noodles, because it was the first day of the recruit company, it was natural to leave a good impression, but for these young offspring who were largely malnourished, the first meal was too good and not very good, so it was already collected, of course, it was all according to the good family, eighteen to twenty years old, up and down the years of conscription, all of them were very edible.

Recruit companies must maintain a daily energy intake of 3000 to 3500 calories, in the past, the common people lacked non-staple food, there is a pickle Gada has been a prosperous era, so a large number of staple foods have become inevitable, but if you can maintain the days of fish and meat, think about the consumption of rice and flour can be reduced, here is not the Nanbang country that has not seen the world, flour is a very precious ingredient will never appear in China, in fact, since 1646, the elders have the confidence to let the north initially achieve food self-sufficiency, of course, It is also complicated to import rice from the south to supplement Mongolia's trade losses, to make reserves, and at the same time, some producing counties have to start to switch to aquaculture and cash crops.

Qi Sanduo thinks about his own family, compared to a group of "comrades" from farmers around him, his status is higher, at least he thinks that he is higher, his family is a small official.

In fact, it is a small tax collector in Qinghe County, and there is no formal establishment, but the place is too poor, and even the Eight Banners have no interest in them.

Although not a dime of wages was obtained from the Daming government, this kind of temporary worker has the majestic style of the urban management brigade in later generations, and it is basically the rhythm of packing everything you can see home.

Although the Ming Dynasty has clear regulations on all kinds of taxes, but the implementation is also fundamentally finished, for those scholars, whether it is Xiucai or Juren, the tax-exempt land area is calculated to a certain extent, but in this era of no property statistics, it basically means that they do not pay taxes at all, do not bear any obligations at all, and even a person appears, which means that at least a dozen families do not have to bear the tax burden, and can be dedicated to this person for a living.

It is a pity that the scholars who have damaged the foundation of the country to feed themselves have always been the vanguard of disaster to the country and the people, and for them, the destruction of the empire may have a better opportunity to reap personal interests, and this kind of thing is even easy to imagine.

Of course, Qi Baishun works for the country for free, and can still support the whole family, and even gave birth to three big fat boys in a row, after he gave birth to his first son, he named him Qi Yixi, and the second son was named Erhe.

Especially after surviving the previous civil strife, it was simply a struggle, and finally Li Zicheng entered Beijing, the elders came to the world, the world was peaceful, Qi Baishun originally planned to arm his three sons, gather more homeless people, and collect taxes for the county yamen, if you can, kill a few ** to let them know the majesty of the royal family!

However, I am afraid of but, first Li Zicheng publicized that he would be exempted from taxation for three years, and no agricultural taxes would be collected, and the people's hearts would be at peace, but for these tax collectors, they would drink the northwest wind if they did not collect taxes, and the county order ordered him to be calm and not impatient, and after staying at home for a few days, Li Zicheng seemed to be beating down by the elders after opening a film with Wu Sangui, just as he was thinking, in order to celebrate the beginning of our country, Shunshun should collect a tax, and this time only half of it was intercepted and handed over, and when the time came, he could also say a family affair to Sanduo.

However, it is pitiful that the elders actually followed Li Zicheng's statement and still exempted the agricultural tax!

If it's just that, it's okay, the so-called Tiangao Emperor is far away, as long as it doesn't reach the ears of the high-ranking officials above, it is natural to bully as much as he wants, as long as there is no confrontation in that village, it is natural that taxes can be collected directly, and the exemption from agricultural taxes means that the collected things only need to be handed over to the county order and other gentry above, as well as some of the people in the "relevant departments", and the rest are all their own, anyway, where do you know the twists and turns in this?

This is a very common thing, the local government likes to play the most is this kind of information asymmetry under the search for ** tricks, such as the convening of the civil service examination, but not publicized, in an inconspicuous building opened an office, accept registration, but where the average person enters the office building, even borrowing a toilet will be expelled, and finally only people related to some powerful people can know how to sign up, and the final result you know.

Of course, there are also open recruitment exams, but the recruitment conditions are very harsh, the so-called radish recruitment, if you want to report, you will be sent directly to prison!

This principle of information asymmetry has long been carried forward, if the presbyterian council dares to declare tax exemption, and the regime still does not go to the countryside, then the result will inevitably be that the crazy grassroots tax officials are riveting enough to collect taxes frantically, because the money received does not have to be handed over to the state, and naturally they are more motivated.

However, at this time, the elders suddenly inserted a pole, and they often went to the countryside to the villages and towns while training the troops, shouting that the new dynasty was established at the beginning of the year and that no agricultural taxes would be collected, which suddenly made Qi Baishun unable to continue to collect taxes.

In the past, you could use the means of scaring the court to rob directly, but now, the tall and mighty soldiers of the court are coming, but they are preaching the policy of not collecting taxes!

In the past two years, basically Qi Baishun has completely broken off cooking, his three sons, only the old family has solved the marriage problem in front of him, the second son is not young, he still can't, and the third son Qi Sanduo is also a big problem.

In the winter of this year, Qi Baishun really can't stand it, he has nothing else to do, except for drinking and eating every day, because of the expenses of his three sons, he has not saved much money, seeing that he can't live for many years, the scoundrels who originally followed him to collect taxes and live have also run away, who is willing to work with you in vain.

At all times, it is the unlucky temporary workers who are the same, as they have been in the past.

I heard that the elder's soldiers ate well, not counting those family members, even ordinary soldiers had meat to eat, gritted their teeth, and sent their three sons to be soldiers.

At that time, there was a joke, the elders' soldiers ate well, that is a well-known thing, there are many people who want to send their sons to be soldiers, obviously thirty is not a lot of people who insist on twenty, fortunately, the elders also have countermeasures, played the physical fitness test, those who do not meet the standards are not allowed to be selected, and in the end, only three more people were selected, so angry that Qi Baishun beat two incapable sons with sticks on the spot.

Sanduo took a bath for the first time in his life, and even used soap and slept on a clean bed.

In fact, dozens of people in the room he was in were all like this, they couldn't sleep, and those who could be sent to be soldiers were basically from hard backgrounds, let them work, no problem, but let them explore the unknown future, it would be extremely difficult, the military household system of the Ming Dynasty was really notorious, everyone knew how miserable the soldiers were, and they were usually serfs who were officers, and they could play with their wives wantonly, and even let the wives and daughters of military families sell meat to make a living.

They are all honest people, since they have eaten the elder's meal, they can't do anything if they run away, and he is afraid of affecting his family, and he is not Taiwanese, so he can extinguish his conscience and call the Chinese compatriots while giving you ** liquid, defrauding you of the money in your hand, and the northerners are not bad in terms of sincerity.

However, Qi Sanduo couldn't sleep at the thought of the possible death situation in the barracks, or the terrifying scene of the legendary bullying of the chief.

In a daze, when it was close to dawn, he was barely confused, but he was soon woken up, the old squad leader's surname was Li, but he was a Shandong man, not very old, but he was full of beard, he joined the gang too late, and he could not meet the standard of a certain contribution, so he could only continue to stay, but in the end, he was still very smart, he was already a second-class non-commissioned officer, and his income was not bad, he was full of joy and waited for continued promotion, to live the legendary good life, but he was also full of energy.

As long as he completes this recruit training mission, he can of course, it is not easy.

"Hurry, hurry, all hurry!"

The army must raise awareness of hygiene, after getting up at six o'clock, under the command of Li Bantou, everyone starts how to wash the semester, the recruit company only has a small mirror for people to use, whether it is to wash their faces or brush their teeth, these panicked recruits are very surprised, fortunately, there is a way to learn, don't be a soldier if you can't learn it.

In this era, tooth powder has long existed, but it is limited to urban residents or landlords, and ordinary people have never heard of it.

Therefore, everyone can receive a small woodpipe tooth powder every month, and as for the toothbrush, one is issued every quarter.

Qi Sanduo washed his face in a panic, wore a training uniform, and looked at his appearance in that mirror, his hair had already been cut short, unlike the shaving order in history, the elders were not interested in making a fuss about people's hairstyles, and the scholars, as long as they did not infringe on themselves, they would not care what kind of treatment they received, and they would be very happy**They were very distressed, so that he could take the opportunity to buy ** at a low price to play with the daughters of **, and the previous wave of layoffs were all because they could enter certain places to play with ** It's a good opportunity for my daughter.

This look is a little strange, he used to be in the river, and he also saw his own appearance, but how can he see it clearly like a mirror, but the person who has cut his hair short looks also refreshed, because the hair that is malnourished and withered, now because there is only a little bit next to the skin, it looks black and oily.

After washing, the matter is not over, he himself got an iron plate, an iron bowl, in fact, stainless steel, and a pair of iron chopsticks, after taking it out, he walked in line to a canteen, which is a training place, and has already arranged a large number of men.

A large bowl of millet porridge, a boiled egg, a bowl of small pickles, and a small oil cake have constituted enough nutrition, and the egg alone made Qi Sanduo very excited.

However, although he was already sitting in the huge cafeteria with his classmates, Qi Sanduo still didn't dare to eat, and he needed to wait until everyone was seated before he could start slowly, which would take a long time.

"This old man's rules are really big."

Naturally, all kinds of singing activities according to the old rules were canceled, and although many military songs were sung without even changing the lyrics, it was much more difficult to teach a group of illiterate people to sing than to teach them to shoot, so it was best to keep them disciplined every time they ate, and it was also a good start.

Then, it's time to stand in a military position.

Qi Sanduo was pushed many times, he was not tall, so he naturally became the leader of the platoon, and this is naturally the place where the instructor focuses on taking care of him, whether it is standing upright, taking a break, or left and right, it makes him confused, fortunately, he will not be beaten and scolded at this time, and he will naturally deal with it well.

At this time, it is already winter, it is not good to accumulate physical strength by standing there, the training plan is divided by hours, half an hour queue, twenty minutes of running, and ten minutes of rest, in fact, it is the training plan of primary school students, of course, a morning is only three hours can already be collected.

Qi San's disadvantage of not being tall gradually appeared, he was the leader of the platoon, naturally he was running in the front, the instructor was trained by the elders, he was rigid, simple and rude, but he was very powerful, and he asked them to straighten out the formation before and after running, and he would rather run slower than he had to keep the queue, which was what the elders pursued hard.

A soldier's soldier is very important, usually a recruit who knows how to cooperate, has a basic concept of modernization, is much more important than a veteran of the old era, in China, discipline is through primary and junior high schools, countless spring outings, watching movies and collective activities, once a week flag-raising ceremony exercise, and whether it is primary or secondary school physical education, in essence, it has been carried out simple, the standard is not high, but it has been very valuable queue training.

Qi Sanduo's speed is getting slower and slower, but he is followed by countless people, he can only barely run, he himself is not tall, this is also difficult for him, and when the running is over and the rest is announced, the person is already shaky, and suddenly faints in place.

"Another one, hurry up and save people!"
