Following.

After breakfast, Wen Chou immediately ordered the written announcement to be posted in the pavilions and the porridge shacks where the displaced people gathered, and ordered the pavilion chief to go to Lizhong to inform the villagers.

A pavilion in Shahe Township. As soon as the notice was posted, it attracted three or five pavilion guards to come to watch, and from time to time there were passing heads who came forward to watch.

"Du Jun, Du Jun, what does this notice say?" The stout man of his life wears a hakama robe, on which there are many repairs. On the head without a crown, a hairpin scarf was wrapped indiscriminately.

"Can't you see it?" The man in a green cloth robe, with a somewhat annoying frown, said.

"I'm a rough person, I don't know a word in Douda, or Du Jun is talented, why don't you preach a thing or two for everyone?" The strong man said. Many villagers on the side also nodded in agreement.

The Confucian scholar said impatiently: "Taolin Captain Wen Chou announced as follows, since the Yellow Turban thieves in the first year of Zhongping, and then the Black Mountain thieves bullied the king, gathered people to rebel, and many of them invaded the boundaries of our county and townships, mutilated the living beings, and poisoned the people. In order to prevent the county and township from being poorly prepared, this is hereby issued to recruit the best people from all over the world to serve in the army to defend the land and protect the territory and the people. In addition, all my robes are three meals a day, and the monthly ringing is a hundred dollars, and their family taxes are all excepted! ”

"Three meals a day, a hundred dollars a month?" The strong man's eyes lit up and he asked.

"Yes, three meals a day, a hundred dollars a month, and all his family taxes are removed!" The Confucian repeated.

"Where can you write where to recruit?" The strong man said urgently. In such troubled times, it is not easy to have two meals a day, not to mention not only three meals a day, but also a hundred dollars per month, and taxes are exempted! The villagers are active, this is a time to enter the army, and they have no worries about food and clothing!

"The place of the peach grove porridge shed. It seems that Wenjun is mainly for the homeless? The Confucian said.

"Taolin porridge shed, okay, I'll go ......" The strong man left in a hurry when he heard it, and there were many villagers who went with him, and some of them were intent, but they hesitated, standing outside the pavilion, weighing one or two.

This scene happened in all the township pavilions in Shahe Township, and more and more people went to watch it when they heard the news. More and more people are going to the peach grove porridge shack.

……

The entire place where the homeless people gather is already boiling! Since the announcement was posted, it has attracted a large number of people to watch, and when they know the content on it, it immediately caused a sensation.

"All my villagers, who are between the ages of sixteen and thirty-five, have the qualifications to join the army!" Wen Chou shouted.

He also ordered a villager to hold a gong and publicize it among the villagers.

After the cases and slips were placed one by one, Wen Chou said to everyone: "You can start recruiting." Oh'er instructed again: "Be strict! ”

"No!" The people answered.

The whole assessment is divided into two parts according to age, between the ages of 16 and 20, because their bodies are not yet fully grown, and there is still room for growth in strength, there is a separate standard, and the age of 21 to 35 is a standard.

Regardless of that age, there are four tests of strength, martial arts, horsemanship, and archery, and those who pass one can be admitted to the military!

"Phew!" After a strong man signed up, he arched his hands forward, walked to the heaviest stone lock, rolled up his sleeves, stood still with both feet, bent down, clasped the stone lock with both hands, weighed one or two, and shouted! Slowly lift it up, then flip it with your backhand and hold it high above your head. Although his face is flushed, he is a strong man! Immediately attracted a round of praise and applause from the surroundings.

Wen Chou raised his eyes and looked at it, he was also a little surprised, not for anything else, only the stone lock also weighed one hundred and fifty catties! Wen Chou thought to himself: "If it is me and Yan Liang, Wen Ba and others, it will be easy." But this homeless person is not hungry in the first place, so he can still lift it, if he is full, it is not a problem, but he is born with good strength! ”

"Strong men are so strong!" Wen Chou waited for the strong man to lock the stone at the moment and praised it loudly.

"Hehe, I have some strength, can I get into Wenjun's eyes?" The strong man recognized Wen Chou, and asked with a smile.

"Haha, get in, get in!" Wen Chou laughed and said happily. Wen Chou didn't want to bring the heaviest stone lock, but Yan Liang proposed to share it like this, and he didn't want someone to really be able to lift it, so he was happy.

Having said that, that row of stone locks, there are four levels, 300 catties are the highest, 200 catties are second, 150 catties are again, and 100 catties are the qualification lines for young people to join the army, and adults are subject to 105 catties! Of course, this is the Jin Liang of the Han Dynasty, and if it is a later generation, it will be one hundred and fifty catties, one hundred catties, seventy-five catties, and fifty catties.

Since the strong man lifted the stone lock, and the ugly words of admiration, caused a wave of enthusiasm, although there are many Qianshou to come forward to tempt, but after all, there is no way to lift it, but the two hundred pounds of stone lock still have a few people to lift. Wen Chou ordered people to record all these great strengths separately, which is no problem.

Wen Chou observed for a while, but he didn't see anyone who could make his eyes shine, so he talked to Yan Liang and Wen Bayan, and went to look elsewhere.

Compared with the hot scene of testing strength, the assessment scene of shooting, riding, and martial arts is a little deserted. Although the boundaries of Jizhou are brave and brave, there are only a few people who can really make a few moves.

"Liu Jun, Dong Jun, what's the matter, can there be anyone with outstanding martial arts?" Wen Chou asked. The martial arts assessment is led by Liu Zhong and Dong Jiang, assisted by three or five light heroes who are good at hand fighting.

"If Wenjun prevails, it is not worth mentioning, if we prevail, then it can still be seen." Dong Jiang said in the foreword. In one sentence, it complimented Wen Chou, and explained the overall level of the villagers who participated in the assessment.

"So far, about six or seven hundred people have participated in the test, 35 have passed, and seven can be called excellent." Liu Zhong said more pragmatically.

"Six or seven hundred, only more than thirty people are qualified?" Wen Chou frowned and asked.

"Well, I think there are five thousand people in our township, and the number of light heroes is only half a hundred, and there are more than thirty of these six or seven hundred people, which is already a lot." Liu Zhong spoke.

"Well, it seems that I was too eager for quick success." Wen Chou said embarrassedly.

"Wen Jun is worried about the people, and he hopes that the army will be strong." Dong Jiang said with a smile.

"Hehe, did Dong Jun make fun of me?" Wen Scandal said with a smile.

"No, that's the truth!" Dong Jiang bowed his hand and said.

Wen Chou saw Dong Jiang solemnly surrendering his hand, knowing that this was his heartfelt words, and he was not pretentious, he accepted it calmly, and said: "Dong Jun's virtue is also rare!" ”

said the conversation again, during which several people came to the assessment, but they all failed, and Wen Chou said goodbye.

The former is only twenty, all because the bow and crossbow are expensive, which is not what ordinary people can have, and the latter is slightly more, about sixty, although it is not skilled, but if it is trained, it can also be climbed to the hall.

The red sun sets, night falls, and the first day of recruiting soldiers in the land of peach groves has passed! Wen Chou and the others came to the official temple, and they sorted out and discussed again, and only dispersed until the moon was in the middle of the sky.

ps: According to Ban Gu's "Hanshu Legal Calendar": "Thousand two hundred millet (shǔ), weighing twelve baht, two of which are two, sixteen taels of jin, thirty jin of jun, and four of which are stones"

Then actually weigh it down. One catty in the Han Dynasty = 250 grams now, that is, half a catty.

One tael (divided by 16) in the Han Dynasty ≈ 15.625 grams ≈ 15 grams
