"Don't wait!" Xu Yang gently wiped his beard, and then picked up the newspaper unhurriedly.

"The emperor wants to train the forbidden army, recruit soldiers from the families of Qing white people in Zhili Province, twenty taels of settling-in allowance for one person, one tael of silver per month, and the families of the soldiers who died in battle can get twenty taels of bereavement, and the parents of the only son's family will issue two taels of silver to the court every year, until the parents die of old age, and the court will provide for your parents to die.

There are still soldiers with wives and children in the family, and the court distributes three taels of silver every year until the children reach adulthood! Soldiers who quit the army due to 0 serious injuries will receive a pension of 30 taels at a time! Xu Yang held the newspaper and read the news aloud.

"Is this true?"

"The settling-in allowance is twenty taels, and you can still have one tael of silver a month?"

"If you die, you have dozens of taels of silver, and your parents, wives and children can still get silver!"

"Hmph, this time it's recruited from the entire Zhili, do you think it's so easy to enter?" Xu Yang looked at everyone's excited appearance dissatisfiedly and scolded.

"Give me silence, Mr. Xu's lesson is that this is a forbidden army recruited by the emperor, of course not everyone can enter!" Johnson & Johnson excitedly slapped the counter and shouted loudly to stop everyone. When everyone quieted down, Johnson and Johnson leaned over again, looked at the newspaper with an anxious face, and asked, "Mr. Xu, look for it, did the newspaper say when the emperor would accept people, and did he have any requirements?" ”

Xu Yang looked at Johnson & Johnson in surprise, suddenly put away the newspaper and asked seriously: "Johnson, don't you have the intention of joining the army?" ”

"Haha, how can that! I'm just curious to ask! "Johnson & Johnson is playing haha!

"A good man is not a soldier, once you join the army, you will be a military household in the future, your sons and grandchildren have to be soldiers, not only to fight on the battlefield, but also to accept the exploitation of the boss, you look at the days of those military households in Baodingwei, your father as an executioner finally made you a white ding, if you work hard, you may not be able to become a regular officer, then your family will be up! Why do you have to go for the near and the far, and risk your life to fight for riches? Xu Yang saw through Johnson & Johnson's mind at a glance and persuaded in a deep voice.

"Mr. Xu, do this Bai Ding every day except to serve the servants, there is no work, I am not that kind of person, this kind of day really doesn't feel interesting, my father said that the world is not peaceful must let me practice martial arts, I have been practicing hard every day for more than ten years, I don't want to be so obscure!" Johnson & Johnson grumbled dissatisfiedly.

"If you are really not impulsive, joining the forbidden army is an opportunity, I heard that Huang Degong, the camp officer of the forbidden army, is also from a poor family, and he has always loved soldiers! A few days ago, when the emperor went to rectify the forbidden army because of the failure of the forbidden army to exterminate the demon sect and demons, he promoted him to the commander of the Yongwei battalion.

Now that the Liukou is peaceful, the emperor is undoubtedly going to use troops against the Tartars, and I have heard that the rewards of the officials and soldiers for killing the Tartars have never been deducted! Xu Yang's words were reasonable, and Johnson & Johnson was even more moved when he heard it.

"Johnson & Johnson! You can't just make a decision and join the army! Even if you want to go, you have to discuss it with your father! The shopkeeper persuaded worriedly.

"Your family is your only child, and your parents are not far away, let alone joining the army? You have to think that if you die on the battlefield, your Li family will be cut off in the future! Xu Yang asked with a serious face.

Johnson & Johnson smiled wryly, hesitating.

Xu Yang didn't persuade anymore, picked up the newspaper and continued to read, "The emperor has an age requirement, between sixteen and twenty-four years old, I remember that Johnson & Johnson is already twenty-five this year!" ”

"I'm twenty-five, but I broke through to refining tendons a few days ago, and I will also be a martial artist in the future, and the forbidden army will definitely accept me!" Johnson & Johnson took a sip of wine and said proudly.

"Refining tendons and making small successes!"

"Forced to become a martial artist?"

A group of short-clothed men next to him looked at Johnson & Johnson enviously and said.

Even Xu Yang looked sideways, frowned at Johnson & Johnson, and sighed, "It seems that you really have to join the army!" ”

Although the martial artist's exercises are all about cultivating internal qi to boil the body, the effect of different methods is undoubtedly different, Johnson and Johnson had no exercises at all before, just covering his head and boiling his body according to a few stupid methods, and he never thought that he could break through to the cultivation of tendons, and he still has some talent!

In these years, even a carpenter's skills are passed on to men and women, not to mention those exercises, and they can only be learned by going to the army to make great contributions, Johnson & Johnson has this talent just happened to have a good time, and even Xu Yang felt that Johnson & Johnson could try it!

Xu Yang no longer persuaded Johnson & Johnson to dispel his thoughts, picked up the second issue of the newspaper and looked at it and said, "Huangzhuang, this is the new law of the implementation of Huangzhuang, everyone who enters Huangzhuang will be allocated land, Huangzhuang does not collect rent regularly, and the implementation is lump sum!" ”

"What does Mr. Xu mean by this package to the door?" The shopkeeper asked puzzled.

"That is, in the future, the more people will do it, the more they will reap, and the Huangzhuang will only charge one layer of rent! The rest is up to the people themselves!" Xu Yang pointed to the explanation in the newspaper about the lump sum delivery to the door and told the shopkeeper.

"Rent a lot?" Xu Yang's words caused everyone to exclaim again, if ordinary landlords collect forty percent of the rent, they are called good people, and the emperor not only allocates land but also only collects one percent of the rent, and only the emperor can do it!

"The ploughing cattle in the imperial village are borrowed by the people, and the villagers only need to pay rent to the emperor, and they don't have to pay taxes to the government! No more conscription! No more salaries! Huangzhuang wants to build a private school, in addition to recruiting scholars as enlightenment teachers, there are also supervisors from Guozijian to teach classes, and the private school not only does not charge tuition, but the emperor provides meals and paper and pencil textbooks! Zhuang Min can escort the prisoner into the capital to face the saint, and the officials along the way must not stop it! ”

Xu Yang couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice every time he read a sentence, and when he read the last sentence, Xu Yang couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "Officials are the foundation of the court's governance of the people, and it is good for the emperor to attach importance to the people, but such a contempt for officials will undoubtedly cause great damage to the majesty of the court, and it will not benefit the country!" ”

"Mr. Xu, come and eat two bites of food, taste my sauce beef, and then drink wine to moisten your throat, can you help see if the newspaper says how to become a villager in Huangzhuang?" The shopkeeper asked urgently.

The rest of the people also looked at Xu Yang, full of anticipation.

Xu Yang took a sip of wine, picked up the newspaper and rummaged through it word by word, and finally shook his head, "No, the newspaper didn't write it, according to the previous practice, if you want to become a villager, you can only order it by the emperor!" ”

Hearing Xu Yang's words, everyone couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and secretly full of envy for Huangzhuang in their hearts, and then it would be better to be able to become a villager, with the emperor covered, who would dare to oppress them!

Xu Yang carefully sorted out the newspaper, handed it to the shopkeeper and said, "I read the newspaper, I drank the wine, and I will leave!" ”

"Mr. Xu, what else haven't you read? What is this written? Johnson's sharp eyes hurriedly pulled Xu Yang and didn't let go.

The shopkeeper filled Xu Yang's wine bowl with hot wine and greeted him warmly: "Mr. Xu, you must try the dishes I made!" ”

"It's a novel called The Legend of the Condor Heroes, it's not interesting, I don't read these things!" Xu Yang raised his head slightly and said proudly.

"Sir, the novel written on the Ming Pao must be unusual, sir, you see that there are dozens of people here who know and hyphenate words alone, how about you help us read it?" Johnson pulled Xu Yang and pleaded.

"Yes, Mr. Xu, it's useless for me to hold this newspaper! Please read it for me, I'll give you some wine! The shopkeeper also pleaded repeatedly.

"Okay, then I'll barely read it to you!" Xu Yang reluctantly picked up the newspaper this time and began to read: "The Qiantang River is mighty and the river is endlessly bypassing the edge of Niujia Village in Lin'an day and night, and flows into the sea ...... in the east."
