King Zhao won eleven years, the first day of February.

The cold spring has not yet passed, and the doors and windows of the rich people's houses are closed, and the braziers are lit to keep warm; People who have no money shrank and use straw to keep out the cold.

It was dawn, and the hour was approaching, but no one went out.

On the contrary, inside and outside Lulong City, and even on the outskirts of the city, every household gathered in the main hall, standing neatly, facing the north, some people looked solemn, some people looked impatient, and some people were very curious.

As early as half a month ago, Li Zheng knocked on the door of the house and repeatedly ordered that today was the hour, and the court would announce that everyone must stay at home, in the direction of the palace, in order to listen to the hadith.

In the event of a violation, not only the own family, but also the entire "lu" (one side of an alley, a total of 25 households) must sit together and be assigned to be prisoners.

If the report is meritorious, it can be exempted.

Because of this, the people were not so much facing the north as they were constantly looking at the windows, and when they saw someone scurrying, they rushed out and took him down.

It turns out that apart from dozens of disputes in the slums, there are not many people in other places who are so stupid for the time being.

The time is right.

The dull bell rang in the sky above Lulong City.

Whether you are in the city or far away on the outskirts of the city, the sound of the bell is so clear that it seems to be close to your ears.

Then, the congratulatory message sounded.

This caused many people in the slums, or in the places where the peddlers and pawns gathered, to kneel down on the spot, believing that a miracle had befallen them.

But there are also some brave soldiers, especially those soldiers who have returned from the battlefield and seen all kinds of miracles of "witch", and exchanged words with their brothers: "Who is this person who speaks?" ”

"Shhh, this is a big official, Prime Minister Zuo!"

"What is he talking about?"

"I also heard it in the clouds, as if it was singing the praises of the prosperity of the king Wude and the Three Kingdoms? Said that God protects our Zhao Kingdom and protects the king, so that we have today? ”

"Do you want him to say this kind of thing? Who doesn't know? ”

Most of the simple (and never schooled) people may not understand the quotations and obscure and complicated articles, let alone reading them.

Wei Lian's voice was full of emotion and beautiful recitation, and in their opinion, it was almost like a lullaby.

Of course, in Lulong City, there is no shortage of literati and scholars, and when they heard Wei Jian count the martial arts of Yin Changying one by one, some people sneered: "King Zhao is really happy with his achievements, and he actually uses such a method to show off his achievements." ”

Having said that, no matter how you listen to it, it feels sour.

The people of the whole city, listening to the voice of Wei Lian, are like hearing from the side of their bodies, such a miracle, but it is used to sing praises of virtue, it is really ...... I'm so envious!

If the articles they wrote could be praised in this way, their names would surely resound all over the world, and from then on they would be rich and glorious, with beautiful wives and concubines.

By the end of Wei Lian's reading, most people were still confused, and a small number of people thought that this was a new way for King Zhao to show off his exploits, wondering whether to do what he liked and write some congratulatory messages.

It wasn't until the last sentence, "There is a national witch invited", that everyone was excited and raised their spirits.

To the people of Lulong City, Lord Guowu is a mystery.

The mysterious aura that shrouded the prince's sister, as well as the deeds, can't be said for three days and three nights.

Some people say that she is gentle and sympathetic to the people; Some say she is ambitious and power-hungry; Some people say that she has an arrogant personality and does not respect her elders; Some people also say that she is self-respecting and looks down on anyone.

Whether it is good or bad, the rumors related to the "national witch" are always the same as the wild history of the king, which makes people talk about it and taste it repeatedly.

Of course, most of the people feel that the character of the national witch is not mentioned for the time being. In terms of contribution to the country, there is nothing to say.

Isn't it good to build bridges, pave roads, and build waterwheels, but not to levy labor?

Just when the people were curious and looking forward to it, and wanted to know what Lord Guowu would say, when they heard Yin Xi's first words, they were stunned.

[In the ninth year of King Zhao, in March, the country was destroyed, twelve cities were pulled, and 17,815 soldiers of Zhao were killed in battle. 】

[In May of the same year, the Liang State was destroyed, and the 37 cities were pulled, and the soldiers of the Zhao State died 72,671 people in battle. 】

[In the tenth year of King Zhao, in September, Zhu Guo was destroyed, sixty-two cities were pulled, and the soldiers of Zhao died in battle, 179,326 people. 】

The entire Lulong City fell silent.

[Soldiers fought a hundred battles, shrouded in horse leather, reported to the country, went down to Anlishu, and lived up to this life. The king gave the title of wealth and silk to reward the military exploits, so that the soldiers' wives and children could settle down, and the rear was worry-free, which was a hundred years of Zhaoguo's trip. 】

[However, the sword has no eyes, and the return date is difficult. 】

[Those who have widowed daughters and are unable to raise pheasant children; Those who have a mutilated body or face and thus commit suicide; There are people who return to their hometowns in fine clothes, only to see the barren graves in the mountains. 】

Speaking of this, Yin Ji paused.

In Lulong City, the sobs were endless.

Zhaoguo's military merit field house title system has been implemented for nearly a hundred years, who has no male conscription, no relatives who can never come back once they go to the battlefield?

Luckily, there are also a few family letters, as well as a title gifted by the imperial court, which can prove that this person existed.

If you were unlucky, you didn't get a head, and you came back with a broken arm and leg, so you committed suicide directly for fear of dragging down your family.

There are also many men who went to the battlefield with their bags on their backs, and when they came home in three or five years, they saw that their parents were gone, Xijun was snatched away, and their children were all starved to death.

There are many lucky people who have developed by military exploits, and they also inspire people to forge ahead, but more than that, there are countless blood, tears and tragedies under the glory.

[The prosperity of the country is based on military merit. 】

[Soldiers are fighting the front line, and their wives and children at home should have something to rely on. 】

[From now on, Zhao Guo conscripts soldiers without bringing their own dry food, clothing, and weapons, all of which are distributed by the state. 】

[In order to supply the needs of clothing in the army, a textile factory was opened in the eastern suburbs of the royal capital. Recruit female workers and unify garment making. 】

[Female garment workers, working four hours a day, are given two free meals, and pay a five-baht coin as wages. If the family is far away, or there is no food and clothing, and there is no place to live, shelter can be provided. 】

[For the rest of the work, wages will be paid according to the corresponding regulations.] Accommodation and food should be the same as that of female workers. 】

[Recruitment period, 14 to 40, those who die in the family are preferred, and those who are literate and hyphenation can relax the number of years. 】

[If you are willing, you can go to the eastern suburbs to register tomorrow, and the initial recruitment time will be three days later. 】

[The registration is over, and after seven days, the recruitment results will be announced.] 】

[Above, over.] 】

In view of the fact that Yin Xi's words were too straightforward, the three princes and nine secretaries in charge of the ceremony decided to save the face of the imperial court, and Feng Chang immediately followed to speak, using complex and beautiful poems to praise this virtue and politics.

But the people had no heart to listen.

"In the future, we don't have to bear any expenses for conscription, and all the state will pay for it" and "The state recruits female workers, and the food and housing are still paid such a high salary", like ****, disturbed the peace of Lulong City.
