Wrapped in a thick curtain cloth, he spent his first night in the Tang Dynasty.

After dawn, at Yang Wenhua's strong request and promise to buy a lot of food, Yang Chen reluctantly cooked breakfast.

It's not okay to skip breakfast, Yang Wenhua really feels hungry.

After breakfast, Yang Wenhua followed the two brothers of the Yang family to the front of the cave.

Li Chang, the accurate official name of the Tang Dynasty is Li Zheng, but it is not wrong to call Li Chang, one mile long, and the production captain of later generations is almost the same.

100 households are a mile, and the chief is responsible for cooperating with the pavilion chief, in the collection of taxes and the organization of conscription, although there is no money, but there is a little food subsidy, and there is power.

From the utensils of the chief's house to the clean and decent clothes on the chief's body, it can be seen that there are still benefits to being the chief, although the living standard is worse than that of Yang Wenhua's family, it is much better than Yang's family.

After seeing the chubby lieutenant chief, Yang Da explained his intentions, and the lieutenant chief looked at Yang Wenhua and asked, "Why are you only naturalized now, what were you doing earlier?" ”

"Hey, hey"

Yang Wenhua accompanied a smiling face, "Earlier, I practiced Buddha with the master on the mountain, this is not the master passed away, I can't calm down, just go down the mountain to pay the vulgar, and be lucky for a few years, how good it is to take an aunt and give birth to a baby." ”

"Yes, that's a good point."

Regarding the reason Yang Wenhua said, the lieutenant nodded with satisfaction, "That's right, passing on the family is a major human matter."

If you want to be like you, twist your hair to practice any Buddha, I'm afraid that this person will be gone in the future, you say that if there are no people, where will your Buddha go when the time comes? ”

Yang Wenhua was speechless, I really want to say a word to this chubby family, brother, being a lieutenant has wronged you, you can go to the moon for nine days, in the words of later generations, you are so powerful, why can't you go to heaven.

Seeing that Yang Wenhua was frightened by his words, the chubby lieutenant nodded with satisfaction.

"Well, see if you can get lost, then I'll help you get this household registration, write you a handicraft first, wait for the next month's accounting, and let the pavilion chief send it to the county together, and you can divide the land in the spring, and you don't have to delay the agricultural time."

"Oh, okay, thanks for the long time." Yang Wenhua said with a smile.

The chief nodded, took out pen and ink and a bamboo board and asked, "What's your name?"

"Sanzang." Yang Wenhua replied casually.

When he saw that Li Chang's face was wrong, he reacted, and quickly changed his words and said: "Ah, no, the common name is Yang Wenhua." ”

"That's pretty much it."

Li Chang glanced at Yang Wenhua and continued: "It's still my family, I should be settling in Yangjia Village, how old are you?" When and what day was a person born? ”

"I am nineteen years old this year, and I was born on the seventh day of March."

"Nineteen, that's a middle-aged man."

While recording on the bamboo board, the lieutenant reminded him: "Since you are a middle-aged man who is over eighteen years old and is the head of the household, the imperial court will give you one acre of homestead, eighty acres of mouth land, and twenty acres of Yongye field.

Since you have received the benefits of the imperial court, you naturally have to repay the imperial court, in addition to the corresponding rent adjustment, although you are a middle-aged man, but you are already over eighteen years old, and the conscription has also changed from ten days of miscellaneous labor at the age of sixteen to twenty days, and you will have to serve a month of regular service after the age of twenty. ”

Speaking of this, the lieutenant chief looked at Yang Wenhua for a while, and said: "However, I see that your body is okay, although you have lost some weight, it must be caused by your limbs not being diligent, and you will definitely be able to get strong after polishing in the army for a while."

Seeing that you are wearing good clothes, I think your master has left some family funds for you.

I still have a recommended quota here, would you like to bring your own armor and blades and join the government soldiers in advance?"

As a soldier, of course I don't want to, the sword on the battlefield doesn't have eyes, this era of cold weapons, it's not like a hot weapon war, hide and wait for the surrender to save your life, once the war starts, there is no place to hide, and a fool is a soldier.

Seeing Yang Wenhua's flustered face, the lieutenant explained: "Don't be in a hurry to choose, you can think about it for a few days, there are many advantages to being able to select the government soldiers, not only is the rent and transfer completely free, but you can also go into battle to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions."

On the occasion of employing people in the army, as long as the armor and blades are well prepared, it is still relatively easy to make meritorious contributions. ”

The reason why the lieutenant kept persuading Yang Wenhua to join the government soldiers in advance was also a helpless move, there was actually no shortage of government soldiers in Guanzhong, but Yangjia Village was lacking, especially the government soldiers with complete armor and blades, Yangjia Village was even more scarce, in the final analysis, it was because it was too poor.

In this era of heavy military merit, this is the same as the political achievements of later generations, when people go to other villages to report, the armor and blades are complete, and the momentum is different on the road.

Although the governor's words were good, Yang Wenhua still shook his head again and again, refusing: "Don't go, I'm the only son in the family, even if I am an adult, I can be exempted from military service, so I don't want to be a government soldier." ”

Otherwise, it's better to say, you let a person who grew up in a peaceful era go to be a desperate soldier with a knife, unless it is absolutely necessary, who will go.

And Yang Wenhua came here to make money, but when the money was not earned, he lost his life, it didn't become a joke, even if he went back and continued to be poor, he couldn't go to be a soldier.

"It's not productive, greedy for life and afraid of death."

Seeing Yang Wenhua's resolute attitude, Li Chang also gave up his intention to continue persuasion, and instead said: "Looking at your leisurely appearance, you must be unwilling to serve the conscription, and this year's conscription will be forgotten."

But next year's conscription, if you don't want to go, you have to hand over the money and silk as soon as possible, so that I can arrange it here, if you pay it late, you have to go yourself, don't blame me for not reminding you in advance. ”

Hearing that the lieutenant commander said that he could use money to offset the conscription, Yang Wenhua immediately became interested, although the miscellaneous servants were not like the regular service, they might be sent to do some kind of work such as repairing the city wall, and it might be good to be exempted from the conscription.

It doesn't matter if you spend some money, if you go to work, it will be a shame for the traverser.

"I don't know how much silk it will cost to be exempt from forced labor?"

The chief touched his chin and said: "The imperial court stipulates that three feet of silk is made every day, a total of one and a half horses for twenty days, or one thousand two hundred yuan, and two taels of silver can also be used. ”

Two taels of silver, a small meaning.

Leaving from the chief's house, Yang Wenhua couldn't help but feel proud, and in the future, we will be regarded as people with ID cards in the Tang Dynasty.
