Chapter 385: Tianqiao Listening to the Book
According to the relevant laws and regulations of the empire, ordinary compulsory soldiers are only required to serve 3 to 5 years of military service, depending on their type of service. After completing compulsory military service, soldiers generally have two choices at this time, one is to continue to stay in the army and become a volunteer according to their wishes and the needs of the army. The second option, naturally, is to retire. For retired soldiers, the state will give a certain amount of subsidies if they can choose to return home to continue their old business according to their wishes. If they do not want to go back to their old jobs, the state will also arrange jobs for them. And this Imperial Passenger Transport Company was set up to solve the employment problem of the vast number of retired soldiers.
After all, there are now nearly two million regular troops in the entire Chinese Empire, and hundreds of thousands of people retire every year. It is also a great pressure to solve the employment problem of these people. Fortunately, the Chinese Empire is now in the development stage, and factories have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, so the employment of hundreds of thousands of people is not a big problem.
The overpass is located in the northwest of the Temple of Heaven and crosses the Longxu Ditch in a north-south direction. This bridge is the bridge that the emperor must pass to go to the Temple of Heaven to worship the sky, which means the bridge to the sky, so it is called "the sky bridge".
The overpass is a bridge, and the Ming Dynasty built a white marble single-hole high arch bridge here to pass the "royal road". The emperor is also called the Son of Heaven, and the bridge that the Son of Heaven walked, so it is called the Sky Bridge. This is where the name flyover comes from. The overpass is usually sealed with a wooden fence, except for the emperor and the old man, others are not allowed to pass through guò, and the general officials and citizens can only take the wooden bridge on both sides. The original river channel under the bridge gradually evolved into Longshu Ditch.
After the establishment of the Chinese Empire, Ren Chao ascended the throne and became the emperor, according to the custom, Ren Chao also went to the Temple of Heaven every year to worship the heavens, in order to pray for God's blessing, smooth wind and rain, and peace and security of the country. But Ren Chao issued an order to abolish the bad habit of not allowing people to walk on the overpass, which is usually open to the people, only when worshipping the sky. martial law will be imposed.
Of course, Ren Chao didn't come to the overpass to see the bridge, because the area around the overpass is a gathering place for civilian amusement venues in Beijing, and there are various opera performance venues in it. A variety of folk artists gather here, making it one of the liveliest areas in Beijing. Ren Chao went out of the palace this time to relieve the boredom and watch the excitement, so naturally he would not let go of this place.
After coming to the overpass, looking at the bustling crowd, Wang Weihua couldn't help frowning, "Master, there are too many people here, and they are mixed." In case of any accident, the ministers will die and will not be redeemed! I think we'd better go somewhere else! ”
"Don't talk nonsense, sir, I came out this time just to watch the excitement, I can't come to such a good place, where did you let me go! Walk, go in and have a look. Ren Chao said indifferently and raised his legs and walked forward.
Wang Weihua and the others couldn't stop it, so they could only obediently follow forward. Ren Chao walked around the street, watched the juggling from the street for a while, and felt interested. Now some opera performances in this era are really difficult to make Ren Chao any interest. However, in the lively and excited atmosphere of the people around, Ren Chao also felt comfortable. At this time, Ren Chao let go of that cumbersome political affairs, and felt relaxed!
After really becoming the emperor, Ren Chao realized it firsthand. This emperor is really not good. At this time, Ren Chao couldn't help but remember that he had seen such a post on the forum of later generations.
There is such a profession, the average life expectancy is 39 years, the abnormal mortality rate is 44%, and there are various ways of death (some were killed by their own fathers and brothers, some died at the hands of their wives and children, and some were sent away by their own men). Would you be willing to do it? If anyone does it, they will definitely be thought by others to have water in the brain. But there is really such a profession in history, and the miserable Cheng dù is shocking and crying ghosts and gods. But everyone rushed to do it, because it had a gorgeous name emperor.
Needless to say, the danger of being an emperor is needless to say, and at the same time, being an emperor is still very tired, and the burden of the entire country and the whole nation is on one person's body. Of course, if you want to be a faint king, then it is naturally very easy, eating, drinking and having fun all day long, and not caring about anything, naturally you are happy and happy, but in history, such a faint monarch generally rarely ends well, either by his relatives and killed, or because of excessive drinking, he died young. Ren Chao didn't want to follow in the footsteps of these people. What's more, Ren Chao is still shouldering the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the nation and the country, so naturally he does not dare to relax for a moment, so it is really not easy for Ren Chao, the emperor. But whenever he saw that Huaxia's national strength was thriving and its strength was growing, Ren Chao was overjoyed and felt that every effort was worth it.
Ren Chao was walking when he suddenly heard an excited cheer from a teahouse on the side of the street. couldn't help but be slightly curious, just at this time, Ren Chao was a little tired after turning around, so he raised his legs and walked into the teahouse.
Ren Chao and a few people casually found an empty seat in the lobby and sat down, and at this time, there was a storyteller on the stage, Zheng Meifei was talking about something. Ren Chao listened carefully and said that it was the latest matter of the Eastern Expeditionary Army's pacification.
Ren Chao couldn't help but come to the spirit, just to listen to some of the people's views on this battle. Seeing that a guest came to the door, Dr. Tea hurriedly greeted him, "What do you want to drink, this guest officer?" ”
"Let's have two pots of West Lake Longjing! I'm picking up some delicious snacks, snacks and the like on a few plates, one here and the other on the table next to it. Ren Chao smiled and pointed to the four guards who were sitting not far from him. After entering the teahouse, only Wang Weihua was alone by Ren Chao's side, and the other four guards did not dare to share the table with His Majesty the Emperor, so they sat down at an empty table next to him.
"Okay~! The guest officer will be fine after a while! Dr. Tea answered, turned his head and left.
Soon the freshly brewed West Lake Longjing was served, and Wang Weihua took the teapot and poured a cup for Ren Chao first. Ren Chao waved his hand to let Wang Weihua feel free, and then turned his head to listen to the book seriously.
I saw a gray-bearded storyteller on the stage say loudly, "The loud horn of the charge sounded, the commander of the Song regiment roared, and took the lead in rushing out of the trench, and the two thousand soldiers of the tiger regiment behind him, following behind the commander of the Song regiment, rushed towards the position of the little devil together. The sound of killing shook the sky, the momentum was like a rainbow, and the two thousand soldiers rushed over like two thousand fierce tigers, and the heavens and the earth changed color. The little devil on the other side saw that my heavenly soldiers were so powerful, and they were immediately frightened, and they fled one by one. The heavenly soldiers of my Chinese Empire broke through the defense line of the little devil in an instant as if they had entered a no-man's land, and killed the little devil with corpses all over the field, and the blood flowed like a river! Those little devils who were frightened wanted to turn around and run away, but at this time, their legs were already scared and weak, and even more so, they even ran and urine! At this time, I just want to run, where do I run! What's more, even in normal times, with the two little short legs of the little devil, even if he uses his strength to eat, he can't outrun my wolf-like imperial heavenly soldiers! In the end, I can only become a ghost under the sword of my Huaxia Heavenly Soldier, and a ghost under the gun! (To be continued......)
