――

The next day, the bell rang in the Chaoge City Tower, and a notice was posted from the official mansion, and after a while, a lot of ordinary people gathered to watch, and after a while, a soldier wearing a military uniform opened his voice to the common people gathered in front of him, and said loudly: "The prince has an order, and the new army will be reorganized to defend the country, and the enlistment order of the guards will be issued immediately......

"What? War again? ”

The common people who watched for a moment changed their faces when they heard this, and their grievances arose, and many people in Chaoge City now moved from the old capital Diqiu (Puyang) and other patriotic territories, and naturally knew the actions not long ago, and almost all the men in the prime of life participated in the expedition of the country, although they did not fight, they still had to do a good job of at least 100 acres of fertile land. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

But at the time of the upright spring ploughing, it was finally time to hurry up and farm after this toss, and now there is another war, and a large group of ordinary people immediately began to complain when they heard about it.

Fighting a war is a common thing for the people living in the Warring States Period, today it may be the Wei people, and tomorrow it may be the Wei people or the Qi people.

In the war, the people of all countries will not have much opinion, but they have to have food to do it, and if they don't eat or drink in the coming year, let alone a hundred acres of fertile land, what is the use of even a hundred acres of fertile land? People are starving to death!

"Silence! Silence! The leader of the armor immediately shouted, and the scene quickly quieted down, and he said: "There is no war to defend the country, this is the edict of the prince to build a new army, all those who enlist in the army can enjoy a monthly salary of three or five stone of food, and the salary will be paid monthly, and there will be no arrears.......

"What-?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone gathered here was shocked and inexplicable, and they felt incredible, joining the army and fighting in the war was a natural thing for the people of the Warring States Period, and it was an unconditional obligation, and if the country wanted to start a war, the people had to go to the battlefield unconditionally.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, fighting a war was an honor, a noble action that only the nobles could participate in, and the "soldiers" in the last layer of the aristocracy fought in chariots, and fighting was a privilege belonging to the nobility.

This is where the term "warrior" comes from.

The war of the Spring and Autumn Period is even a bit like the taste of sports competition, the two sides of the war set up the war and then start fighting, and even the general of the enemy will salute when he sees the enemy during the war, all pay attention to fair fighting, the most famous of which is one of the overlords of the Spring and Autumn Period Song Xianggong, for later generations, the war of the Spring and Autumn Period is even a little incredible.

And in the late Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the soldiers were also sophistry! With the rise of soldiers, wars have changed from the Spring and Autumn Period, where only nobles could participate, to everything aimed at winning wars, and civilians began to join the war.

It is like today's Warring States in the world, which believes in unscrupulous means.

The participation of ordinary people in the war is an obligation, an obligation that has no return.

As soon as this notice came out, it was inconceivable to the common people in Chaoge City and even in the country, and some people were even suspicious.

Subversive things are born, and the first thing that accompanies them will always be doubtful and difficult to accept, and even if it is a great benefit, they will instinctively dare not believe it.

Wei Zheng had already expected this, now that he is in charge of Wei Guo, the government of Wei Guo does not have much prestige, and it is a long process to establish prestige, such as the Qin State in the west, and these problems can be found at the beginning of Shang Ying's reform.

Since it has been expected for a long time, it is natural to respond in a targeted manner.

After a while, a group of grain trucks lined up in a straight line arrived here, arousing the curiosity of countless ordinary people.

The sergeant opened his throat again and said loudly: "Those who are over nineteen years old and under thirty years old meet the requirements for enlistment, and those who pass the on-the-spot assessment can receive three stones of grain when they are registered!" ”

As soon as these words came out, more and more people began to gather, and the noisy discussion suddenly ended, such a scene first happened in Chaoge City, and then began to spread to the major cities belonging to the country.

After waiting for a long time, no one dared to come forward, but there were more and more ordinary people who stopped to watch, and as time went by, finally someone who dared decided to give it a try.

A man in his twenties, dressed in a patched hemp rope cloth coat, suddenly walked out of the crowd, and with a glance, a pair of eyes fell on the strong man, and the gaze of the armor soldier also fell on him.

"Army... Master Soldier-! The strong man said hesitantly, hesitated for a moment, and finally said boldly: "I will get three stones of food immediately after joining the army?" ”

"The prince personally drafted the edict, and the king did not joke, so it is naturally true-!" The armor soldier said without hesitation, in a tone that was unquestionable.

When the man heard this, he hesitated for a moment, and after a while, he was heartbroken, and said, "I want to enlist in the army!" ”

"Okay!" The armor soldier suddenly smiled when he heard the stiff face, but it was not very funny, the so-called preliminary assessment was in charge of the armor soldier, knocked on the chest of the strong man a few times, and then nodded after observing it back and forth for a while, so he said: "But-!" I go to the side to register! ”

It didn't take long for the male who had passed the preliminary assessment to be registered, and his name was metabolized and engraved on the bamboo slip by the writer, and the armor soldier nodded when he saw the registerer, and then raised his hand and raised two fingers and waved lightly, and the other two official soldiers immediately pulled a donkey cart, and the armor soldier said to the man: "These ten stones of grain are yours now!" ”

"Ten...... Ten stones――? The strong man was stunned again, and stared at the donkey cart for a long time, not saying much, but it was exactly ten stones.

"That...... Army... Commander! Didn't you say three stones? The strong man was incredible.

"The prince has an order, whoever is the first to register will get ten stones of grain, and if you are the first, you will get ten stones-!" The soldier said, and then looked at the stunned people and opened his throat and said, "All the first ten enlisted soldiers will get ten stones of grain, and all of them will be three stones!" ”

In this way, under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, the first crab-eating man pulled the donkey cart with ten stones of grain and left.

After a while, a second person was registered, and immediately received ten stones of grain.

Third, again.

Now, the people who paused to watch finally believed it!

After brushing it, they immediately rushed up, and men over 19 years old and under 30 years old rushed to enlist in the army.

As long as you enlist in the army, you can receive a monthly salary, which is dozens of stone grain in a year, if there are three or four men in the family, and two or even three men in the army, it is more than 100 stone of grain in a year, unlike the crops that plough the land, and it is normal for bad luck to have no harvest in the coming year, but there is no need to worry about this military salary, and these military salaries can be sent to the family in full, and they eat the official family's rice bowl.

Fighting a war is an obligation, and there is such a good thing in this world!

The news spread quickly to the entire Chaoge City as if it had grown wings, and as time passed, such a scene was staged in the main cities of Chaoge, Zhongmu, Chuqiu, Yinxu, and Ningxin.

One by one, those who met the requirements rushed to sign up for the army.

The family cultivates the fields with his wife, children, and parents to take care of him, and this month is three solid grains, and he can still rely on eating official meals with his mouth, which is a great thing.

The people of this era are too simple, and the picture is not to have food and clothing, and not to starve. Although the folk customs of the Warring States Period are strong, but that is the inevitable feature of the times, the Warring States and the Warring States, why is the people not strong?

For a time, as soon as the notice was posted, nearly 10,000 soldiers were registered in the army within 15 days.

Conscripting 10,000 is Wei Zheng's goal, even if he knew that this notice would cause a huge repercussion, he didn't expect the repercussions to be so strong, and there were still countless people who wanted to sign up for the army if the conscription ended early.

Recruiting 10,000 people, in fact, only 5,000 people are needed, that is to say, half of these more than 10,000 people will be eliminated and the other half will really stay in the fighter battalion is officially the new army soldiers, the reason why Wei Zheng did this, in addition to conducting a re-screening and screening out the good seedlings, and then the more than 5,000 people who were eliminated are to become the news tube, so that these people can pass the news to the homes of ordinary people, and plant the seeds for the new military system in the future.
