Chapter 14 The Soldiers
The government soldier system refers to a military system in the Western Wei Dynasty, Northern Zhou Dynasty, Sui Dynasty, and Tang Dynasty, and Li Yuan and Li Shimin used military soldiers in some regions when they started the army, as well as temporarily recruited soldiers, and recruited and incorporated troops on the way to the army, that is to say, in the early Tang Dynasty, this soldier was not very short, but now, maybe it is the butterfly effect brought about by Yang Heng's crossing, or there is such a time in history to recruit government soldiers, and my father has now become a government soldier.
And the most likely thing is that the 100 acres of land stimulated someone, and the selection of the soldiers was based on the three standards of materials, ability, and Dingkou, and it seems that Dad is because of this 100 acres of land.
When Dad first heard the news, he was shocked, and then a little panicked, "I'll just say, we shouldn't go to the countryside, you see, now that we're being pulled to be soldiers, it's over." "The first reaction of the old lady here is this kind of invisible fear, and I don't know where the old lady came from.
"What are you crying about, it's not that you want to do anything, it's just to go to the county to participate in training, or on duty, twice a year, once for more than a month, and it's not that you can't see it, besides, in the event of a war, Da Lang can also improve his status if he makes meritorious contributions, this is a way to get in, what others can't ask for, look at you, I have done so much for you."
The old father and mother were cleaned up by this uncle, and now it feels as if the father owes him a lot of favors to this uncle.
After Dad's uncle left, Yang Heng's family was in a sluggish state, the government soldiers were wartime, soldiers were soldiers during duty training, and farmers in peacetime, once they were selected as government soldiers, they had to work until they were sixty years old, but this required a lot of money, what bows, arrows, felt hats, felt suits, etc., which are standing utensils, as well as wheat rice, rice, these are temporary things, which require money to buy, and the only thing that Dad can carry at present is machetes, and a few farm tools.
In other words, this time my father was pitted by this uncle, but for Yang Heng, this is an opportunity, he doesn't know what other people's abilities are, but Dad's strength is enough, and what should be considered at present is how to get some money.
"Big brother, what are you worried about?" The uncle on the side felt incredible when he saw the appearance of this family, "I said little brother, do you think the eldest brother's family looks like he is rich." Dad said helplessly.
"Well, like." The uncle nodded on the side and said, "Where do you look like, what the eldest brother wears, eats, and eats doesn't count, this is the prey that is hunted here." "Daddy is in a hurry.
"Why not, let's not talk about how you eat, just say that the knife you use to chop wood now, I have never seen this style of knife, big brother, you see how many trees you have cut down with this knife, but there is no curl blade at all, it is still so sharp, just like new, and you have no one yet, I just haven't seen such a treasure knife in the big families in the city, but you use it to chop wood, really, I don't know what Lu Dao said about you." The uncle was full of resentment on the side.
"Grandpa, you come, maybe Uncle is right, or the day after tomorrow, you take a machete to the city to see, if anyone wants it, according to Uncle, this machete should be very valuable, and also, let's get up early tomorrow, shoot a few more prey, and you will also take it to the city together, are you worried about any money, food and weapons."
In the past few days, Yang Heng really hasn't paid attention to this matter, these machetes, let alone now, even in the future generations that Yang Heng has crossed, there doesn't seem to be such a sharp machete, this needs to be carefully considered, is it that Dad's iron-striking skill is a great skill, that is, Dad's has not been used.
And Yang Heng has always thought that the iron-smelting aspect of this era is not successful, in his previous life, he often saw some novels that said that after the gods came over, they were iron-making and steel-making, it can be seen that their understanding is a little one-sided, and even some of them are sitting in the well and watching the sky, it seems that they should clean up their thinking, don't think that Daddy and Lady ask themselves everything, and they feel how capable they are, which is mainly because Daddy and Niang have never encountered any setbacks, This kind of dazed thing will happen when there is a setback, if Dad has a suitable way, he will definitely soar to the sky, but there must be this way, maybe this time it is an opportunity to be selected as a soldier.
"Grandpa, after you sell this knife, don't say that we made it ourselves, you just say that it is an ancestral heirloom, but you have to remember." "Don't worry, kid, Grandpa knows what to do, and the affairs of the family will be handed over to you, and so-and-so will go."
Before dawn on the third day, my father strode out of the house under the gaze of Yang Heng and his mother. "Okay, mother, let's go back and rest, Grandpa will be fine, he is just going to train this time, not to fight."
Dad is gone, but the family can't be idle, first of all, the house has to be built, the fields have to be cultivated, and secondly, several uncles have to come to help with the work, and they have to prepare food for the uncles, so Yang Heng has one more task, that is, to go up the mountain to hunt, Yang Heng is very lucky, after crossing over, he gave him such a strong body, if it is his body in his previous life, it will be broken, an ordinary body, plus an ordinary family, it is definitely a disastrous result, no matter how many ideas you have in your head, you can't keep it.
"Uncle, don't be in a hurry to leave, come, help my nephew bring back a few catties of meat for me Ah Weng to eat," "Yes, Xiaolang, the old man is not good to us, and we can't treat the old man badly, the slave doesn't go to see Ah Weng, I'm afraid that Ah Weng will be disgusted with the slave, but Ah Weng won't also be disgusted with these meats." ”
After the father left, the old lady asked the uncles to bring words several times, saying that they wanted to go to see Ah Weng, but Ah Weng just didn't let go, saying that there is no such a son, then naturally there will be no daughter-in-law and grandson, maybe he is worried about the future of his father, afraid that the wasteland will not be successful, and then rely on him, it will not be good, and there is a little uncle who is just married, and has not yet married, but Yang Heng decided to let the uncle bring back some meat to Ah Weng, this is still a wild boar that Yang Heng went up the mountain to hunt yesterday.
The house has been built a few days ago, with the guidance of the uncle, and the help of the other three uncles, a log house was built, these woods have been processed by the uncle, that is, it was brushed with some herbs to boil water, and some unstrong bark was cleaned up, and the remaining bark was retained, so that the house looked like a whole tree on the outside, and the internal walls of the house were trimmed quite smooth, only a fire wall looked a little ugly, but for heating, It had to be so.
During this period of communication, Yang Heng found that these uncles all have their own skills, the younger uncle can carve, carpentry, the second uncle can build the wall, especially the wall with broken stones, the fire wall, the fire kang are all built under the guidance of Yang Heng, maybe he will work independently in the future, the third uncle will build the wall, that is to say, he will make soil and smash the wall, and the fifth uncle will wipe the wall, that is, smooth the mud on the wall, and it is said that this is the craftsmanship handed down from the ancestors.
