Hedong Road, Jiangzhou, Longmen County!

The streets are bustling with people coming and going, and it is very lively.

The area around the wall used by the government to publish the announcement was even more crowded with people watching the excitement, but there were officials sent by the county government to maintain order, although only two people stood about one step in front of the list, but these two people were like an invisible wall to keep the people watching the excitement outside.

A young man who had just turned eighteen was attracted by the bustle of the place, and couldn't help but take a few steps forward, but found that the crowd in front of him was too large to squeeze through.

I listened attentively to the discussion of the people around me, and found that there was a discussion of everything, some said that the imperial court ordered the weaving workshop to open a branch in Longmen County, and some said that there was a military disaster recently, and they were not allowed to go out.

There are different opinions, not a lot of effort, from the front row of the melon-eating masses came to the most authoritative answer, the official said that it was recruiting, but more specific was blind, the official was illiterate, they only knew that it was recruited.

It's not that no one explained to them what the content was, but it was dense, sprinkled with hundreds of words, and the two of them couldn't remember so much, if they could really write it down word for word after listening to it, they wouldn't fall into the step of standing here as a door god, anyway, just remember a rough idea.

Looking at the chaotic crowd crowded, but never got the most effective content, the young man couldn't help but move, while squeezing forward, he opened his mouth and said loudly: "Let one, let one, I have read a few books, and I will read the content of the announcement for you in front." ”

There are not many scholars in the county, either they stay at home and study hard, or they have decent jobs and can run outside, that is, some shopkeepers in the store or something, but they don't have the time to be busy and come over to do good deeds.

The crowd subconsciously made way for the teenager to make a passage, although it was not big, but it was still barely able to let the teenager pass unimpeded.

Finally, the young man came to the front row without much effort, and stood side by side with the two door gods, but in the opposite direction.

The young man roughly looked at the beginning of the notice, and couldn't help frowning, the content on it seems to be very different from what he knew?

"Hey, are you literate?"

"Boy, read it quickly, or you will have a good ...... today"

Seeing that the young man didn't move, the surrounding crowd couldn't help but urge a little anxiously.

The young man was awakened by this hurried urging, and immediately settled down, and read aloud: "The imperial court plans to recruit 300 soldiers in Longmen County, and the requirements are as follows, eighteen to thirty years old, no bad habits, no various hidden diseases......

The young Balabala's requirements for recruiting soldiers were read, which can basically be seen as quite strict, but it can be clearly felt that it is different from previous recruitment.

The most basic requirement for the selection of government soldiers is 21 to 60 years old, but this time the lower age limit has been lowered separately, and some conditions have been added in other aspects that have not been mentioned at all.

"There is no identity family restriction, the hidden household registers, and those who pass the preliminary examination can be exempted from the three-year tax for the whole family, and no landlord shall prevent the hidden household from signing up for the recruitment, and the violators will be punished ......by law."

"Those who pass the preliminary examination will be promoted to the barracks for review, and those who pass the review will be treated the same as the government soldiers, and in addition, each person will receive a monthly subsidy of 100 yuan, and the conscription period will be five years, and the first year shall not leave the barracks without permission, and from the second year onwards, there will be one to two months of family visit leave every year as appropriate."

"All applicants do not need to bring their own equipment, all military supplies are the responsibility of the imperial court, if there are applicants, you can go to the county office to register ......"

The young man frowned and read the entire content of the notice, and the more he thought about it, the more strange he felt.

"What? Isn't this recruiting border troops? Someone complained.

"What kind of border guard, the border guard is still three years, this is directly five years!"

"That is, when I come back after going out for five years, my mother-in-law has run away with someone......"

"It's not impossible, in addition to giving land, isn't there a hundred dollars every month? That's enough to support your family! ”

"Who grows the land for raising a fart home?"

After reading the notice, the boy quietly left the crowd while everyone was discussing, and kept recalling the contents of the notice in his mind.

This recruitment announcement is a bit nondescript, saying that he is recruiting government soldiers, right?

However, the recruitment of government soldiers never needs to go to the county government to sign up, in the past, the military government sent people to cooperate with the county government to select, and basically the quota was determined on the spot.

Even if these are negligible, the government soldiers have no money to get them, and the government soldiers will not be able to go home for five years.

In normal times, the life of the government soldiers is to go to the military government regularly, gather for military training in the winter, and work in the family at home at other times.

Say he's recruiting the Border Guards, right?

But the difference with the border army is even greater, first of all, the border army does not have the treatment of government soldiers, the border army is to put it bluntly, it is the labor that ordinary people have to serve, a person only needs to go once in a lifetime, and then recruit at other times, that is, to do some transport teams and other forced labor.

The border guards do not belong to the 16 guards, they are under the responsibility of the town guards in each region, and they belong to the standing army of the border, and the treatment is far less than that of the government soldiers, and there is no subsidy to get.

The boy vaguely felt that there might be more hidden information in this, but he was a little suspicious, and if he didn't make it clear in the announcement, how could it attract people?

Judging from the recruitment announcement this time, it is obvious that the soldiers are more biased towards hidden households, because it only lists the hidden households to apply, and the whole family can be exempted from paying three years of tax.

Unconsciously, the young man looked up, looking at the two big characters of Liufu hanging on the door number, and his heart was inevitably very bitter.

Due to the early death of his father, his family fell into the middle of the road, although the young man was very talented, but he couldn't stand that he was just a doll back then, and the family property had already been looted by various means, so that now he can only live in the home of his future wife.

It was embarrassing that his life here was not easy, and it was the father of his future wife who took him in, and everyone except him wanted to kick him out and cancel the marriage.

And what about the descendants of the king of Hedong? Aren't you still alone now, and you need someone else to eat?

Although there are people here who appreciate themselves, and there are people who are willing to support them, but the teenager doesn't know how long they can carry it, and how long can he still mix here?

Back at home, the young man found paper, ink, pen and inkstone from the bedroom, quickly wrote down a letter with a pen, folded it neatly, put it neatly on the desk, and then simply cleaned up and pushed the door out.
