Chapter 36: The Gate Notice

Li Yu appointed soldiers Cao to join the army, and Wei Chengqing was fully responsible for recruiting local Han Chinese as soldiers in the prefectures and counties under the direct control of the Metropolitan Protectorate. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Soon after, Wei Chengqing formulated a recruitment proclamation and sent it to the guards of all prefectures and counties in the capital, ordering the guards to set up recruitment points in the local areas after receiving the order. Qualified soldiers were recruited according to the requirements of the proclamation, and then the recruited recruits were sent to Anshi City, where the Metropolitan Government conducted recruit training.

The prefectures and counties directly controlled by Li Yu are all concentrated in the Liaodong Peninsula, and if the Liaodong ruled by the former Goguryeo is divided, then Li Yu currently directly controls the entire southern Liaoning region except for Jian'an, and the recruited soldiers are basically Liaonan soldiers.

At the same time, Sima Xue Jun was sent south to Shicheng, Beisha, and Qingnipu to rectify the soldiers and horses of the three states and incorporate them into the army system of King Yan.

He also ordered Cao to join the army, and Zhang Renjun went south to Qingnipu and Beisha City to preside over the construction of local ports and shipyards. With the order of King Yan, he could directly dispatch slave laborers from Xiu'an City to Qingnipu official road to build ports and shipyards.

Early in the morning, the water sun that went out to sea to fish before dawn was exposed to the wind and sun, and the whole person's skin looked dark and shiny. After a hard day's work, looking at the small half-basket of fish on the boat, Shuiyang was silent.

This bit of fish can only be sold for a few tens of cents, because Beisha City is close to the sea, many local people rely on the sea to eat the sea, and he is not the only one who fishes every morning in this area. As a result, fish prices have not been high.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no land at home, and there was not enough food to grow on his own, Shuiyang would not want to go out to fish.

But he didn't have any skills, so he had a good body, and he had nothing else to make a living except fishing.

Hey, thinking of the mother-in-law and children at home, a family of six, every day when I go back to look at their hungry eyes, the young man who is only twenty-five or sixteen in Shuiyang sits on a small fishing boat and laments.

"Shuiyang must have caught a lot of fish today, how about sending two to my brother for a tooth sacrifice?" The famous scoundrel in the city leaned against the trunk of a tree on the side of the road into the city, and quipped with a grass in his mouth.

Shuiyang didn't bother to pay attention to it, and went to the city with a basket on his back.

"Cut, a poor ghost is still so spirited, when I can see your two broken fish? Sooner or later, you will die of poverty. Yin Xing spat at Shui Yang and said disdainfully.

Who in ten miles and eight towns doesn't know whether the Shuiyang family is notoriously poor in the local area, or a poor ghost who has been poor for eight lifetimes. This kind of poor ghost family is also very capable of giving birth, and there are no less than five sons in each generation, which surprises the surrounding neighbors.

How poor is the Shuiyang family? is so poor that even a scoundrel like Yin Ping is not interested in taking advantage of him, and every time he sees Shui Yang, he makes fun of him to have fun.

Beisha City is close to the sea, which of the surrounding residents does not eat sea fish all year round? The local people who eat it are tired of sea fish, those who have a little surplus at home are only interested in rare seafood, and those who can buy ordinary sea fish are only those ordinary people in the city.

If you catch too much fish, you can't sell it, and if you don't catch it, you can't sell it for a few dollars, which means that Shuiyang can't make any money, and the family can only be poor day by day.

When I walked to the city gate, I found that many people were gathered around the notice wall next to the city gate, and they couldn't hear what was being said in the crowd, and they didn't know what was going on.

Shui Yang walked in with a basket on his back and looked in curiously, but there were so many people that he couldn't even see the cracks in the notice wall, let alone what notices the government had issued.

I was going to hurry to the market and sell the fish and go home for dinner, but I saw that most of the people around the notice wall were poor people near Beisha City, which made Shuiyang a little strange.

In the past, ordinary people like Shuiyang didn't even know a single big character, and they didn't have much interest in the notices posted by the government on the notice wall. Could it be that in the past few days, these illiterate villagers have become literate?

Seeing that an acquaintance had just squeezed out of the crowd, Shui Yang squeezed away a few people around him and ran over and patted the man on the shoulder and said, "Hey, East Butcher, when did you also read and become interested in the government's notice?" ā€

Dongfang Cheng looked back at Shui Yang, a poor ghost who lived next door to his house, and said arrogantly: "What? If you don't make money to make a living, you also pay attention to the affairs of the official family? ā€

"Hey, hey!" Shui Yang didn't care about the ridicule and ridicule of the butcher, he had been subjected to the ridicule of his family by the surrounding neighbors since the day he was born sensible, and he had long been used to it. What's more, Dongfang City is still a playmate from childhood to adulthood, and the ridicule of each other has never stopped.

"Isn't that curious! Even you, an illiterate butcher, have paid attention to the official notice, is it better for me, a literate person who knows how to count Ding, and only knows how to kill pigs, is it worse than a butcher who only knows how to kill pigs? ā€

"Humph!" Dongfang Cheng is too lazy to talk to Shuiyang poorly, this kid has no ability to make money, but he has a set of flamboyant tongues, and he is ready to leave with a family fire of killing pigs.

"Alas, don't go, East Butcher, what does the notice say? So many people are concerned? Shui Yang hurriedly stepped forward to stop Dongfang Cheng.

"What else could it be? Andong Protectorate recruits! Anyway, I even want to be a soldier and do the business of killing people, and this pig killing is a good thing. ā€

"Anton Duhufu recruits, can you, the butcher, understand the words on it?" Shui Yang looked at Dongfang Cheng in front of him with a shiny face and a full face.

"Boy, it's so hard to recognize that broken words are so hard for me to bother to recognize them, and I can't eat a word if I know a word. It's like you waste, you can write your own name with a few words, it's bullshit, and a poor family can't open the pot. ā€

When Dongfang Cheng spoke loudly excitedly, the horizontal flesh on his face shook and shook, revealing Shui Yang's old bottom, causing the surrounding crowd to look at Shui Yang with mocking eyes.

Even if Shuiyang has been trained for more than 20 years, he is ridiculed for being poor and sour in front of everyone, scolded him for being a waste material, and provokes many people around him to point fingers at him. Shui Yang's face couldn't hold it at the moment, and the whole person's gaze at Dongfang Cheng turned cold.

"You butcher, what do you do when I ask you, what are you talking about?"

Dongfang Cheng saw the surrounding situation after speaking, Shui Yang's indifferent face, and secretly said in his heart: The words are misplaced.

Anyway, the two of them are also partners who have played since childhood, they know each other's personalities, and they usually scold and ridicule Shui Yang, and he doesn't care too much, but if they are placed in the public, Shui Yang also wants to be faced.

"There are people from the government in the crowd who talk about the content of the notice, so you can't just look at it yourself." After saying that, Dongfang Cheng ran to the city with his family fire and went to his own butcher shop to sell meat, and he probably offended that kid just now. It's a pity that there is no fish soup at home today.

Shui Yang put his hand into the fish in the basket and played with it, his hands were full of fishy smell, and then he hugged the basket containing the fish to his chest and squeezed it into the crowd.

The crowd that was originally crowded together without a single gap, saw Shui Yang hugging a basket and squeezing in, and the whole person exuded an unpleasant fishy smell. The surrounding crowd covered their mouths and noses, and squeezed around one after another to avoid the clothes on their bodies from getting the smell of Shui Yang's body.

After a lot of effort, Shuiyang finally squeezed in front of the notice wall, several government officials blocked the crowd from squeezing in, vacating a small space, and a government official was repeating the content of the notice to the crowd in the loudest voice in his life.

"Recruitment notice of the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate: Anyone who meets the following conditions can be recruited as a sergeant of the Tang Anton Metropolitan Protectorate."

"First, those who are Han Chinese; 2. Those who are strong and have no disability or disease are allowed; 3. There is no ** captivity for thieves. ā€

"What is this Andong Protectorate? It's not uncommon for me to recruit Han people who are not soldiers! A few people in the crowd immediately left unhappily and scolded.

Most of them were still waiting for the little official to continue talking, but when they came, they heard from the people they had heard before that the salary of the Andong Protectorate was high, otherwise there would not be groups of poor people surrounding here, just to determine whether this matter was true.

Those who meet the above three conditions can register at the gate of the Tang Army camp in the north of the city. Then they will be sent to Anshi with the army for recruit training, and those who pass can be organized into soldiers. The military ringing is 300 yuan per month, and the military ringing of officers is increased step by step according to the military merits made on the battlefield. ā€

"It was the day of the soldiers, and for those who died in battle, the Anton Metropolitan Protectorate gave his family 800 acres of land, 1,000 acres of mountains, and a pension of 500 yuan, and his son could study for free in the official school, and he was tax-free for three years. For the disabled, they will be given 500 acres of land, 800 acres of mountains, and a monthly pension of 300 Wen'an, and their sons can study free of charge in government schools, and they will be tax-free for two years. For all the rest of the participants, according to their military merit level, the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate will give them at least 200 acres of land and 200 acres of mountains, and those with the highest military merits will receive 5,000 acres of land and 10,000 acres of mountains. ā€

"Wow!" Those who heard it for the first time opened their mouths in shock, and their minds were stunned. What kind of farm work is still being done at home, there is a military ring every month, and there are fields on the battlefield. Killed in battle, the family got more, and there were many remnants.

During the reign of the Goguryeo people, where would they recruit soldiers, directly forcibly recruit young and strong into the army, and if they die in battle, they will die in vain, and they don't care if your family loses the life or death of a pillar of the family, let alone tax exemption.

The older generation remembered the years of decades ago, and sighed silently, the younger generation had a good time, or this Datang regarded us ordinary people as people.

Shuiyang is ecstatic in shock, you don't have to go to the battlefield to be a soldier, there is a fixed military sound every month, then my mother-in-law and children in the family are better than getting up early all day now to fight that stinky fish.
