There are 100 military households in 100 households, and one person in each household is a soldier for the guard, and 30 are drawn, that is, the pillars of 30 households want to go to the Huairen Thousand Households to "reorganize the army".

Xiang Bo Xiangyue has already entered the role of the master, and began to explain to Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun: "The matter of conscription is common, go to the command and Qianhu to do a few days of work, and when you meet a kind-hearted person, you will take care of two meals, which is not too hard an errand, but this time you go for thirty days, you have to bring your own food and grass, this is a big cost, people eat outside a lot more than at home, this thirty days of consumption is more than two people eat at home for a month, not to mention that the people who are transferred are all male laborers, and there is no need to do any work." ”

Having said that, Zhu Da has already figured out this matter, the vast majority of families in Baibao Village are barely making ends meet, and the family's inventory is limited after paying the autumn grain, and it is not easy to survive the spring and summer famine, not to mention such a sideways branch, after going for thirty days, how to pass when the next year is not available?

What's more, the main laborers of the family are transferred, and there is still a lot of work to be busy before the real freeze into winter, chopping wood and grass and even going out to do some odd jobs, and there is a subsidy at home.

He could figure it out, and the others quickly figured it out, and the noise could no longer be suppressed.

"Our military households are farming and eating food, and the things that are desperate in the war are only rogue men, so what's the use of letting us go and reorganize the armament!"

"That's it, that's it, why do you have to do so much after paying so much imperial grain and national taxes!"

"In the spring and summer, they worked hard for the old men, and their family was not even willing to use cattle and horses, so we worked hard, and at that time we still gave food to eat, why do we have to bring our own grain and grass now!"

Shouting and scolding non-stop, Zhu Da looked at his parents worriedly, and found that the worried and sad looks on the faces of his parents were even worse than others, and he didn't know how to help, and his heart was messy for a while.

Xiang Bo took them to the side, looking at the messy scene quite indifferently, and he didn't forget to explain: "It's been a hundred years since Datong was here, and the guards have been passed down from generation to generation. ”

There was a noisy shout below, "Don't go!" "Don't go!" , more and more people shouted, and Mr. Li above was also anxious, and roared angrily: "The errand assigned by the old man, if you say you don't go, you won't go, and I have nothing to do!" ”

"Who knows if you are fake news, we won't go!" I don't know who shouted at this.

"Bastard, what's in it for me, don't play tricks with me, if you don't go when it's due, the eldest lord will send his own soldiers down, and it won't be a matter of contributing at that time, and you will have to cramp and peel the skin!" Li Zongqi scolded angrily, and everyone threw aside any hometown friendship at this time.

"Even if the lord comes, he has to be reasonable, there is no surplus food every year, and he will not be hungry in the next year, what should I do at that time, don't go to the villagers, and when the lord's personal soldiers come, let's kowtow and reason!" A man in the prime of life shouted.

This person Zhu Da recognized that he was the eldest son of the Chen family, because his younger brother was doing a small business in the county town, and he was more lively than other people in Baibao Village, and he was regarded as an insightful person, and he shouted the most at this time.

"Chen Dagou, you don't talk nonsense over there, wait for the old man's personal soldiers to come, you kowtow and they directly step on the horse, you reason, they cut them directly with a knife, my second child is discounted shoulders, who do you think you are, don't you know that the gang is vicious?" Li Zongqi calmed down at this time, stared at the big dog Chen and said.

Before the words were finished, the scene quieted down, the commander and the pro-soldiers in the hands of the thousands of households were not joking, those people rode horses and carried knives, they did not farm and work every day, they just boiled their bodies and practiced martial arts, ordinary military households were no opponents, for decades, these pro-soldiers and family members were rampant and domineering have become the rule, think about their ferocity and arrogance, no one dares to shout.

Li Zongqi exhaled, glanced around with a dark face, and said in a muffled voice: "Then set down the people who will go today, and tomorrow I will report the list to the Huairen Thousand Households Office, and if you don't go the day after tomorrow, you will weigh it yourself." ”

It's even quieter below, Li Zongqi and Li Ji also tore their faces, and they didn't even give people the opportunity to steal and play tricks.

"Chen Dagou ......" Li Zongqi first called the name of the boss of the Chen family, as soon as the voice fell, he heard two women crying, that is the grandmother of the Chen family and the mother-in-law of Chen Dagou, Chen Dagou's face also became extremely ugly, just about to speak, but saw that Li Zongqi put his hand on the handle of the knife, his eyes seemed to eat people, and he immediately dared not speak.

I only heard this Li Zongqi call over one by one, whoever was pointed out was a female dependent, the man hung his head, just like the dead in the family, Zhu Da clearly saw that his parents were pale and nervous, but he couldn't help much, he was only anxious there.

After all thirty names were called, and the names of the Zhu family were never mentioned, Zhu Da breathed a sigh of relief, looked at his parents, and found that his parents had incredible expressions on their faces, and wondered why his family was not selected.

Zhu Da kept watching the roll call just now, and then looked at the incredible expressions on his parents' faces, and suddenly understood why his parents were so nervous, far more than the nervousness of the villagers in the same village, because the Zhu family is scarce, and they belong to the weakest family in the village, and they usually have many small things that are inconspicuous, or endure or don't care, but when it comes to such major events involving their own interests, the Zhu family, which is sparsely populated, will be bullied.

Zhu Da's face was solemn, he rarely noticed these in his twelve years of life, and it can be said that he only now understands how much his parents have paid for him, and how long he has been swallowing his anger, he must have something in return.

As soon as I thought of this, I saw a tall and thin man standing up with a disgruntled face, pointing at his father Zhu Shishi and shouting, "Why don't you choose Zhu ......?"

After saying half a sentence, he stopped, his body trembled, and his face shrank back again, Zhu Da knew why, and just looked at Bo coldly, and the thin and tall man immediately retreated timidly, not daring to say more.

Zhu Da was furious in his heart, this thin and tall man surnamed Su, his mother-in-law often served at Li Zongqi's house on weekdays, and he consciously had a bit of decency in the village, and at this time he jumped out, Xiang Bo's status in the village was very clear at this moment, maybe everyone didn't dare to approach, but it must be awe-inspiring, people can't help but eat salt, not to mention that Xiang Bo still has a knife in his hand.

Li Zongqi on the soil platform stared at the Su family man, his face was extremely ugly, but the atmosphere below had been provoked on the soil platform, and no one dared to say anything about the Zhu family, but other families could say it.

"Why don't the Chang family go to people, their two sons ......"

"Our eldest leg and foot are not good, how can we get ...... past"

"Why ......"

The people who went questioned the people who didn't go, and the people who didn't go neighed and defended, and soon it turned into scolding each other, and even fighting, and boys, girls and children all participated, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

At this time, there are two people who have withdrawn from the matter, on one side is the three members of the Zhu family and Xiang Bo, and on the other hand, there is the side of Li Zongqi's family, Li Zongqi's family needless to say, since Zhu Da worshipped Xiang Bo as a teacher, the Zhu family is also a little detached.

Looking at the messy drying field, what kind of hometown friendship, what pastoral harmony, are shattered in front of me, and everyone's harmony and warmth on weekdays immediately turn into naked contention and hatred when it involves their own interests.

It's not that no one looks at the Zhu family with jealousy, the best ones in the village to bully are the Zhu family, which is sparsely populated, but look at the knife on Xiang Yue's waist again, think about those rumors, everyone doesn't dare to take risks.

Zhu Da looked at it in a daze, and the last trace of fantasy in his heart disappeared without a trace, this is the generation of individual cannibalism, when it comes to a critical time, even before the real critical moment, it becomes like what is in front of him, full of ugliness, chilling and desperate.

What can I do? As a twelve-year-old boy, he can't do anything now, and if he changes rashly, he will get into trouble.

Zhu Da didn't wander for too long, he quickly turned around, bowed solemnly to Uncle Xiang, and said solemnly: "Thank you Master, without Master's care, the apprentice's family will be sad this time." ”

Xiang Bo glanced at him and said abruptly: "We are all poor men, don't make some official factions, I will accept you as an apprentice, and I will take care of your family's affairs." ”

Having said that, Xiang Bo was still very happy to know that Zhu Da was grateful, and continued: "It's not just my credit, you said well in Mr. Li's house, which made him feel that you are not simple, this time in addition to looking at my face, but also your own ability." ”

"It's all up to Master's guidance." Judah did not look complacent.

The chaotic scene continued, Li Zongqi stood on the earthen platform with an ugly face, and scolded and stopped a few words at first, and then simply watched coldly, but his eldest son and two distant relatives had already taken a big stick in their hands, and the second son Li He, who had an inconvenient arm, brought the Pu knife over with one hand.

Zhu Da's parents in the crowd were at a loss, and the people around them were making trouble, tearing and tearing, but no one was targeting them, and the two of them slowly flashed out.

At this time, Xiang Yue turned his head to look at the sky, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun also looked over, and there were a few more faint beacon smoke in the sky, although they knew that they were far away, it still made people's hearts heavy.

Xiang Bo turned his head, his face was no longer so silent, and he brought something inexplicable, he looked at the crowd that was still chaotic and was about to start, and said to Zhu Da in a muffled voice: "Zhu Da, can you find a way to calm this mess?" ”

"Uncle Xiang, how can Zhu Da beat so many people alone?" Bian Zhou Qingyun said with his mouth open.

"Idiot!"

"Master, try it!"
