In the early years of Zhenguan, the soldiers of the government were usually engaged in farming, and after the farm was busy, they were organized by the captain of Zhichong and served as labor, and the soldiers were led by officers to participate in the war, and they brought their own armor and food! It is a military service system in which soldiers are used in wartime and are used in peacetime, and all of this is based on the uniform field system.

Wang Gui and a lieutenant in the Cheqi Mansion were talking in a low voice, and there was a burst of laughter from time to time. After a while, Wang Gui came out of the Cheqi Mansion, got on his horse and rushed to Wang's house.

After Wang Gui left, a lieutenant of the Cheqi Mansion opened a small cloth bag left by Wang Gui, which contained three small gold ingots, about twenty taels. Du Wei smiled and found out the roster, flipped to Yuanlou Village, Lantian County, and directly ticked Wang Xingxin's name. After closing the roster, Du Wei thought about it and opened the roster again, and ticked a few names at random, Liu Gangzi, Liu Heiwa, and Liu Daniu.

Wang Xinxing, the four people in Yuanlou Village who didn't know it, were busy cooking food, and the three were busy building a new house for Wang Xingxin.

The diced radish stew sauce is actually very simple, and the seasonings used are basically not lacking in Datang except for dried chili peppers. Refine the pork out some oil first, then cut the meat into dices, and the radish into dices, heat the oil with green onions, ginger and peppercorns, and stir-fry the pot and put the diced meat into the pot. Stir-fry for a while, then add soy sauce and stuff for a while, then add diced radish and stir-fry, add water and salt and simmer. When you want to get out of the pot, add some garlic coriander, which is definitely a good dish to accompany the meal. It's just that there are no chili peppers now, and no substitute dogwood has been found.

By the time Wang Xinxing finished steaming the corn cakes, it was already dark. I called everyone to eat, and everyone smelled the fragrance of the food and didn't care about washing, so they gathered around the stove.

"The new baby is very good, smelling the miscellaneous fragrance!"

"Get out of the way and let the old man taste it!" Liu Laohan pushed the black baby away, picked up the pot and spoon and tasted it, and the hot Liu Laohan jumped straight to his feet and was reluctant to spit it out.

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly took a big bowl, and one of them filled a bowl and ate it with corncakes.

Wang Xingxin looked at the remaining corn cakes and then looked at the empty cauldron, which was more than 20 catties of meat and more than a dozen large radish! Once again, I saw the amazing amount of food of the working people of Datang!

Sending away the villagers who were touching their bellies and burping, Wang Xingxin was just about to go back to the yard when he saw Heiwa turn around and say: "Brother Xin, that big bone stick must be more delicious, wait tomorrow to see how you turn the big bone stick into delicious drops.!" ”

A group of foodies, Wang Xingxin came to the well, fetched some water, washed up briefly, returned to the firewood room, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep after a while.

Early morning.

Wang Xingxin, who was called up by Liu Laoer, got up in a daze, and after stewing the big bone stick into big bone broth, everyone drank the big bone broth and gnawed corn cakes. Then let the new baby continue to work hard, and after continuing to cook food, he went to build a house for Wang Xinxing. Wang Xinxing, who didn't care about cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, hurriedly ran over to everyone and said, "No way, no way!" It's also very tiring for the kid to cook for more than 20 people! Besides, I've eaten a few corn cakes, and I have to let Yun Niang's sister-in-law help with the supplementary food! Steamed some yellow buns, and the kid also tasted Yun Niang's sister-in-law's craftsmanship. ”

Everyone laughed and joked about Wang Xingxin, saying that the new baby is not even as good as a mother-in-law, and she can be tired and bitter when she cooks some meals. Wang Xingxin was not annoyed, but countered: "That's it, I'll only steam corncakes, stew and stew only for everyone to make corncakes to eat, I'll see who still says me." ”

Now everyone is silent, everyone's stomach has already been conquered by this guy. The biggest foodie new baby is also! Wang Xingxin, who succeeded in his plan, laughed with everyone and came to the place where the house was built. One will go to help the others move the adobe, and the other will go to the mud. Although I was tired, I was very happy, and I couldn't laugh, and the whiplash on my face was not healed.

Just when everyone was laughing and working, they suddenly flew to ride. Before the horse came to Liu Laoer's house, a beautiful emergency stop did not get off the horse, and he shouted loudly on horseback: "Which is the second child of the village, who has the recruitment document of the Cheqi Mansion for the villagers of your village!" ”

Liu Laoer's face changed when he heard this, and he hurriedly beckoned everyone to come to the front of the courtyard, and said to the sergeant on horseback: "This general, the little one is the village Zheng Liu Laoer, just heard that the general said that the conscription documents?" ”

The sergeant who sent the letter was actually just a military commander, and when Liu Lao Er complimented himself as a general, he couldn't help but look pale, and his words were not so stern: "I am just a military commander under the Cheqi Mansion, I dare not call him a general, and the old man wants to talk nonsense." The sage conquered the Turks and ordered the conscription of government soldiers. You Lantian County Yuanlou Village recruits four new government soldiers! Respectively, the newly naturalized Wang Xingxin, as well as Liu Gangzi, Liu Daniu, Liu Heiwa four self-prepared soldiers and Zhenguan reported to the Cheqi Mansion before November 20 of the third year, violators, overdue, military law treatment! This is a conscription document, don't miss the time, if you miss the time, according to the military law, it will be beheaded! ”

After that, he didn't pay attention to the stunned crowd and galloped away!

"Forced conscription! This is a forced levy! The government soldiers are voluntarily conscripted, and the second is stipulated, and only sons are not recruited! These babies are only children! The new baby is even more single! ”

Liu Lao Er took the conscription document and shouted to Liu Gangzi to quickly put on the ox cart, and then beckoned Wang Xingxin and others to go to the Cheqi Mansion to ask for an explanation.

Grabbed the grieving and angry Liu Laoer, and called Liu Gangzi, who was going to set up a car, Wang Xinxing silently bowed to everyone. said slowly: "It's the kid who has caused everyone, this should be the ghost of the Wang family." Even if you go, you can't ask for an explanation, and maybe you follow their will. It just happened that we were dealt with with with by the order of the resistance army, but this time it was the boys who were involved. ”

"New baby, what nonsense are you talking about! What's not involved, maybe we can cut off the heads of a few Turkic dogs in exchange for some military industry to divide more fields! Heiwa didn't know the danger of war, and said innocently.

"That's it, Heiwa said that Di is right! The new baby doesn't want to take everything on himself.! Yun Niang, who was crying in a low voice on the side, also said to Wang Xinxing.

"Listen to me, everyone, since we can't hide, let's go head-on! The house is no longer built, and Uncle Liu will buy you a set of good armor for the four of me. Brother Gongzi, now hurry up and go to buy a pig with Heiwa, I have a lot of use, you and I may not have to go to the front line battlefield. Let's go back to our respective homes first, I will discuss with Uncle Liu first, and then call everyone over. ”

Liu Gangzi and Heiwa put on an ox cart and went to buy pigs, watching everyone go home anxiously. Wang Xingxin pulled Liu Laoer, who was still difficult to calm down, and said to Liu Laoer in a deep voice at the door: "Uncle Liu, don't worry, as long as we don't die on the march, I guarantee that the four of us will be fine, and we don't even need to go to the battlefield, in fact, this is also an opportunity." ”

"New baby, what nonsense! If you enter the government, there is no reason why you can't go into battle! What a chance?! Could it be that you are scared crazy? It's okay to be crazy, if you're crazy, you don't need to join the army, alas! This damn royal family! ”

"Uncle, the kid is definitely not crazy, don't you be anxious to listen to the kid tell you, how many wounded people can survive in the war?"

"There are no two out of ten wounded!"

"Ask the uncle again, what is the loss of the Tang Dynasty war horse?"

"Many! What's wrong? New baby, do you have any new ideas? ”

"Hehe, uncle, don't worry, the kid has a way to greatly reduce the death of injuries and diseases, and there is a way to reduce the loss of Datang war horses. The kid was worried that he wouldn't have a chance to offer this method. If it is dedicated to the imperial court, the general in the army will not let the boy go to the battlefield, and the boy will say to the general in the army, the method of treating the wounded and sick, they will also, at most, the four of us will be in the wounded barracks with the same military medical officer, and will not go into battle. ”

"Don't lie to the old man, your big brother Niu is also among the recruiters!"

"Uncle, wait for Brother Gongzi and Heiwa to buy a pig, the kid will do it with you, you can see how a seriously injured pig boy is treated!"

"Great, the new baby is really talented, the little old man just didn't see the wrong person at the beginning!"

Hearing Wang Xingxin's assurance, Liu Laohan suddenly turned cloudy and clear, and his mood was no longer so heavy and anxious.

"Uncle, you have to keep it secret at this time! Don't divulge half a point, and after the pig is bought, call Yun Niang's sister-in-law, as well as Uncle Liu, Uncle Suozhu of Heiwa's family, and Brother Da Niu's sister-in-law. Let them have peace of mind, and the others still don't have to breathe. As for what the kid said about reducing the loss of war horses, the uncle can't tell anyone, and if he can't see the general in the army, the kid won't be able to see it thoroughly! ”

"New baby, you are waiting for the pig to be bought back at home, and the old man will call these people!" After that, he hurried to call someone.

Wang Xingxin sat alone in front of the door and said to himself: "Wang family! Taiyuan Wang family, don't let the master catch the opportunity, after the opportunity is caught, the master will kill your entire Wang family! I really don't talk about it at all, how can I say that the master is also surnamed Wang! "In fact, what Wang Xingxin didn't know was that it was really passed down from the Taiyuan Wang family before he crossed over, and his ancestor was the prince of Sanhuaitang, who only moved to Jining, Shandong during the Hongwu period.

Wang Xinxing, who was sitting alone in front of the door, was not worried and began to wander until Liu Laohan, who called several families, came back.

"New baby, the second brother said that you have a way not to go into battle? Are you sure? Don't lie to your third uncle! ”

"Third uncle, the kid won't lie to you, when Brother Gongzi and they come back, the third uncle will know it with his own eyes."

Seeing that Wang Xingxin seemed to be thinking about something, Liu Lao Er didn't dare to disturb him, so he called a few people to his room in the courtyard to talk.

After a while, Liu Gangzi and Heiwa came back with an ox cart. There was also a live pig tied to the cart, which looked slender and not as fat as the pigs of later generations, and the pig kept howling.

Liu Laohan and others, who heard the sound of pigs, hurriedly came out of the house.

"Brother Xin, the pig was bought, how do you say to eat it!" The black baby still knows how to eat!

"You melon coward, you know how to eat, hurry up and unload the pig with Brother Gongzi, tie it up for Brother Strong, and tie it to the tree in front of the door! Be sure to tie it sturdily! After Brother Gongzi tied up the pig, you go home and bring the needle and thread used by your sister-in-law, as well as Uncle Liu, and get more herbs for me to put on my face last time. ”

After a while, the pigs were tied, and the things that Wang Xingxin was going to come were ready. At this time, it was already dark, and Wang Xingxin asked Heiwa to light a few fires next to the tree where the pigs were bound, and it was suddenly bright.

"Uncle take a knife to me!" After saying that, he took another bowl and made a bowl of salt water. After Liu Lao Er handed the knife to Wang Xingxin, Wang Xingxin trembled a little when he heard the pig hand that kept howling! Then he handed the knife to Liu Gangzi and said, "Brother Gongzi, cut!" Cut this pig hard, don't just hack it to death! ”

Liu Gangzi took the knife and did not hesitate, and slashed at the pig with a knife, the pig had to continue to struggle under the severe pain, but it was tied too strongly, and the struggle was not half a point. had to howl loudly, and then Wang Xinxing heard what was a pig-like sound.

Wang Xingxin, after asking Heiwa to take a torch and approach, took the bowl filled with salt water and washed it in the place where the pig was cut, and after cleaning, regardless of the wound that was still bleeding, he took the needle and thread and stitched it up.

Liu Laohan and the others were stunned to look at Wang Xingxin, who was sewing the wound on the pig's body like sewing clothes, and after a while, Wang Xingxin stitched up the wound, applied herbs, and bandaged it with numb and strong. Regardless of the surprise of several people, he went to the yard to fetch water and wash his hands indifferently.

At this time, several people stared at the wounds on the pig's body that were not bleeding, and the pig's howl was a little quieter, and no one knew that Wang Xingxin was trembling with his legs to get water, and he retched at the well for a while.

"New brother, new brother, come and see! The pig doesn't bark, it doesn't bleed! Heiwa shouted at Wang Xingxin.

After washing his hands, Wang Xingxin looked at the pig, maybe it was howling and losing his strength, and the pig was just humming. Wang Xingxin didn't pay attention to it, so he let a few people come to the courtyard and picked up what he said to Liu Laohan and said what he could say. I explained it again to those who had doubts.

"New baby, do you guarantee that this pig will survive?"

"Uncle, don't worry, let go of this pig tomorrow and see, there are still eight days before the day of conscription, and after these eight days, you will probably scar the wound of this pig!"

"That's good, this law is really unheard of!"

"Uncle Liu, we have been working for a long time, and we have been tossed by this conscription until now, everyone must be in no mood to eat after going home, so hurry up and call someone. Kill the chicken! Boiled noodles! People are dead! Immortal for thousands of years! Eat when you need to eat, drink when you need to! This Wang family wants to kill us? No way! ”

When Heiwa heard killing chickens and cooking noodles, she immediately howled excitedly and went to call everyone......
