Chapter 410: Military Service of the Song State

After sending the child away, Zhuangzi closed the door of the courtyard and inserted the deadbolt. Right now! He was home alone and had to plug in the deadbolt in case of an accident. Since he came out of retreat, he has not yet practiced. He was very worried about whether his physical body would be attacked when he entered the state of inner vision, when he traveled far away in the world of inner vision.

The current Zhuangzi, when he travels far away in the inner world, cannot yet perceive the information on the physical side.

When he entered the hall, he closed the door of the hall and bolted it. And then! Sitting cross-legged on the bed in the hall, he entered the state of cultivation and entered the state of inner vision.

He tried to follow the seller in the world of inner vision through inner vision, and see how far he could go in inner vision. But after entering the state of inner vision, he remembered that the door bolt of the hall was plugged in by himself, and the door in the courtyard was also bolted by himself, and he couldn't leave the house at all.

So far, Zhuangzi still hasn't figured out what's going on? Sometimes you can get through the inner world without obstacles, and sometimes you are stuck at home and can't get out.

Since he couldn't follow Sell'er, Zhuangzi had to carry out regular cultivation. At dawn, I lay down on the bed and slept well. It's been a long time since I've felt like this feeling of being alone, uncarried, undisturbed.

"Bang Bang!"

A sharp knock on the door woke Zhuangzi from his sleep.

"Master! Master! ……”

It's Zhang Shan.

Zhuangzi came out reluctantly, opened the door of the courtyard, and glared at Zhang Shan. He shouted softly, "What's the matter?" You don't know that I like to sleep around dawn? ”

Zhang Shan lowered his head, didn't dare to look at Zhuangzi, and said in a low voice: "Master! The mayor asked you to come over quickly, and another 800 miles of urgent paperwork was sent above. ”

Zhuangzi hurriedly said: "Eight hundred miles in an emergency? ”

"Hmmm! Just received! We had just checked in to work, and before we could speak, the paperwork came. ”

"Oh!" Zhuangzi sighed, only to know that the hour was not early, and it was time to sign in to work.

"Let's go!"

"Master! Don't close the yard door yet? ”

"What's off? There is no valuable thing at home. I'm going to leave tonight, here! Whoever loves to live will live in it, and the mayor of the town will decide. ”

"Master!" Zhang Shan agreed, but he still turned around and closed the door of the courtyard, and tied the knocker with a clue.

The sun is already very high, the sun is very strong, and there is a hot feeling shining on people's bodies. The wind in the morning was okay, but it didn't cool down.

"Zhuangzi!"

"Zhuangzi!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

There were many pedestrians on the street, and when they saw Zhuangzi, they all greeted Zhuangzi one by one. Zhuangzi greeted everyone and walked briskly.

He doesn't like this kind of entertainment the most, but when others respect you, you have to return the courtesy. But in this way, Zhuangzi felt that it was clichΓ©.

Far away! Then came the voices of the people in the town office. But? From the voices of everyone, there was no urgency. If there was an urgent matter, the mayor of Puss and the town officials and officials who ate mixed rice would not have spoken like this, and their voices would have changed.

"Zhuangzi!"

"Zhuangzi!"

The two officials standing at the gate of the town government bowed down to Zhuangzi and greeted him.

Zhuangzi stepped into the gate of the town and swept his eyes towards everyone.

"Come, come, come! Zhuangzi! Sit here! Sit here! Watch and sit! Watch and sit! You have a lot of hands and feet! The mayor of the town greeted Zhuangzi while scolding the miscellaneous servants in the town office.

"What's the matter?" Zhuangzi sat down on the side of the high platform in the mayor's office and asked.

"Look!" The mayor of the town picked up the eight-hundred-mile urgent paperwork on the desk and asked him to hand it to Zhuangzi.

Zhuangzi looked at it and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The mayor looked at Zhuangzi and asked, "Is there really going to be a war?" ”

"It's not written on paper?"

"This, this, this? How to conscript now? Earlier than in old age, right? Have you noticed? The number of conscripts this year is too much, right? Per cent! Which? How many people do I have to hand over to my paint garden at one time? This? This? I'm afraid I won't be able to complete this mission, right? ”

According to the figures on the paperwork, Qiyuan recruited hundreds of people this time. This is a rare event in the history of the lacquer garden. I heard that in the past, in the years when the Song State and the Chu State fought a decisive battle, the proportion was higher than this, and fifty people had to send a source of troops. Almost all the labor force of the lacquer garden was pulled to the battlefield.

Zhuangzi looked at the town chief, shook his head and smiled, and said, "You can do what you need according to the method of conscription in previous years!" If you don't have enough people, you can't do anything. Isn't it? ”

"This, this, this?"

The mayor looked at Zhuangzi's inappropriate look and became even more anxious.

"You don't know! Qiyuan is different from other places, the recruiters here in Qiyuan said that they were 'selling' and sold their sons to you. How much money do you give, and people will give it. If you forcibly recruit soldiers, they will not do it, they will resist. We all know it, so we don't dare to go against them. But the military master sent from above often doesn't know the rules here, and he comes to be brutal, as a result! Someone shot you on the spot! This is the Lacquer Garden! ”

Zhuangzi came up with an idea: "As in previous years, you can levy as you want." You first report the number of applicants and let the people of Qiyuan think about it themselves. If there are enough people, people will have a number in their hearts, and you don't have to worry about anything else! ”

"This? Zhuangzi? The mayor asked, "You don't care about this?" ”

Zhuangzi smiled again at the town elder and did not answer.

The mayor of the town had no other way but to follow Zhuangzi's instructions and go down and recruit soldiers. After the hall was dispersed, he took Zhuangzi's hand and walked to the backyard.

Entering the backyard, the mayor whispered again, "I ask you?" Is this abnormal? Is there really going to be a war? ”

During the Warring States period, there were many countries that only conscripted soldiers and did not retire. In other words, you are conscripted and you can only go home unless you die in battle, or you are disabled, or you have military exploits. That is! After being drafted for military service, you are sold. So! If there is no war, in a few years, it will be a military power.

So! The mayor suspects that there must be a war. Otherwise? Is it so conscripted.

Zhuangzi smiled: "If you understand the above meaning, you have to add another proportion." ”

"Add another proportion?"

"You add the ratio to fifty people to recruit a soldier!"

"Fifty people conscripted a soldier?" The mayor of the town exclaimed, "What? The lacquer garden is about to make a fuss. ”

"Trouble! It's just going to make trouble! Seeing that the head of the town elder was too stupid, Zhuangzi smiled and said: "The people above will make trouble below, and the bigger the trouble, the better." ”

"Bigger is better? Is that going to kill your head? ”

"Only in this way will South Korea not easily fight with us! Got it? ”

"I don't understand!"

"If South Korea knew that our Song State was recruiting a large number of soldiers, it would think that our Song State was going to fight a tough battle. That's it! There is an opportunity to negotiate. ”

"Oh?" The mayor still didn't fully understand and asked, "You mean?" Can't fight this battle? ”

"You! Alas! Zhuangzi sighed: "Don't talk nonsense! so as not to affect the decisions of the kings above! You say that our Song State is engaged in fake conscription, is scaring South Korea, leaking state secrets, and wants to kill the head! ”

The mayor promised repeatedly, "I know this!" I know! I don't say! Don't say it! My mother-in-law too! Scared the hell out of me! I thought there was really going to be a war! ”
