Chapter 170: I'll talk to you about myself

readx;

There was a buzz from the captive crowd. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info these captives were quite grateful after learning that the militia would not kill them for their own merits. The big guys are talking. A thin, vegetable-faced pawn stood up and said, "Official, before the fight, I told the captain that I would be rewarded with five taels of silver for killing a member of the militia group." For this reward, I came. But when I got to the battlefield, I was still scared by the cannon on the official's side and peed my pants, but on the battlefield, I couldn't do it without fighting. The official also saw those overseers holding bright knives and guns. Whoever wants to retreat will cut off their heads! Actually, I don't want my own people to beat my own people. ”

There was a burst of laughter from the captives. The instructor said, "Very good, this brother! Very real! Then why did you come to be a soldier?"

"My family is poor and can't get by. They're all dead anyway. I can sell my life for a few days. Even if you're dead, you'll be a full ghost. The pawn said there without fear.

"This is not right, brother. The family couldn't live anymore, so he sold himself to Wenjun. I take the liberty of asking brother, how much money did Wen Jun give to your family when he bought you. ”

"I didn't give any money, but I gave twenty catties of brown rice. "This kid is honest. Let's be honest. The group of captives below didn't know which one the militia was going to sing. They all looked at it in a daze. A few old pawns also sweated for this pawn. The heart said: This kid is really born calf is not afraid of tigers!

"Oh, brother, it's too cheap to buy you twenty pounds of brown rice! Have you had enough to eat in the barracks? What do you eat every day?"

"I have a lot of food, and I can't eat enough. Two meals a day, one thin and one dry. This time, before the war, I also ate a bowl of mutton soup and steamed buns. The pawn blushed as he spoke.

"Hehe! That's how you sold your life. It's too cheap! I've heard that the soldiers under Yuan Dashuai worked three times a day for the first three days of the war, and they had to eat meat at every meal. Why don't you join the army under Yuan Dashuai? Even if you sell yourself, you have to shop around, don't you? Not to mention Yuan Dashuai. After all, Wen Jun also belongs to Yuan Dashuai's subordinates. Let's just say that we are vigilantes. Don't talk about our militia group, just talk about me! I'll talk to you. ”

"I'm from the Central Plains, my brother here, do you remember the great drought five or six years ago? There was not a drop of rain for three years, not a single grain or two was produced in the field, and there were more than 200 people in the whole village, including me, more than 20 people. There is no one out of ten. We fled all the way to Sicheng. Along the way, state capitals were reluctant to take in what they called homeless. Those high-ranking officials who have asked us about life and death. In Sicheng, I thought there would be a stutter, but there was also a major drought in Sicheng, and the government drove us over like cattle and sheep. How many people starved to death because they lacked a bite to eat. How many women of good families have become prostitutes, and how many babies in swaddling clothes have become 'two-legged sheep', at that time, I wanted to be like this brother, to be a full ghost before I died. But that's all luxury. I thought I would be starving on the road, like I had seen before, and be eaten by the wild dogs before I could breathe. Just before I fell to the ground hungry. I got a mouthful of life-saving porridge in my life. This porridge is the porridge given by a good man in Sicheng. That porridge is a porridge that is inserted with chopsticks and does not fall, and the sweetness of that porridge makes me have endless memories when I think about it now. That good man is none other than Master Zhu Lin, the commander of our militia regiment. It was He who gave us a way to live. ”

"Some of the brothers below asked, what does this have to do with what you said is cheap or not? I told the brethren that it had a lot to do with it. How kind is Lord Zhu's heart. Now I'll tell you. For the sake of us homeless people, Lord Zhu bought us from the prefect, otherwise the government would not have let Lord Zhu recruit so many homeless people. Lord Zhu spent money to buy a large piece of land. Build houses for us to live in, and workshops for us to work in. The provincial government rushed to and fro. We also have a place to shelter from the wind and rain. We have to talk about our conscience as human beings, don't we? We can't eat for nothing. What's more, it was done three times a day. I would like to ask the brothers below, who has eaten three meals a day, and who has eaten meat with meat? And it is not for nothing, Master Zhu is paid. If you rent land for Lord Zhu, Lord Zhu will give you money to buy seeds, tools, and ploughing cattle for free. And the rent is scary. ”

Later, Lord Zhu's industry became bigger and bigger, and there were too many people who didn't have skills and didn't want to farm. Master Zhu set up a security team. Let me tell you! When you join the security team, you will be supported by Master Zhu all your life. Do you know how awesome the security team is? I also participated at that time, and I was not afraid of everyone's jokes, so I brushed it off in the first wave. It is not only required to have martial arts, but also to be literate and hyphenated. Our martial arts are really not good. I have no choice but to give up. ”

Some of the captives below were deeply touched, and tears fell from their eyes. Some look like they don't care. Hearing this, the official master brushed it down in the first wave. It still caused a laugh. But the militia members guarding the captives did not laugh. He looked at the captives with a serious face. There are old people who know how strict the recruitment of the security team was that time. How good the treatment is. Now it's not called a guard, it's called a guard. It was also filled with a bunch of baby soldiers. But you must know that the members of the original security team did not die as long as they fought in rotation. Now the youngest officers are all at the level of squad leader. That's a whole officer corps.

The instructor took a sip of water and said, "Let's finish laughing! I'll continue to talk when I'm done laughing." Later, the young master was ordered to form a militia group. I thought to myself that when we entered the workshop, we were not the same material, we couldn't carry it in our hands, and we couldn't carry it on our shoulders. Let's farm! What's more, people can grow food when they farm the land, but I farm the land and grow the soil and the soil. You can't even grow weeds. ”

There was another burst of laughter below. Even Zhu Zheng and Yuan Conghuan, who were not far away, laughed.

"As soon as a militia is formed here, we will sign up. It's still the same as the old three. It's just not as strict as the guards. Anyway, we've passed the preliminary review. When I came to the preliminary examination, the examiner handed me a contract for me to sign. At that time, we thought, we are all the people who sold to Master Zhu. Why do we have to sign a contract? We didn't even look at it, so we signed it. At that time, the examiner also told me to read clearly before signing. We didn't take it seriously. It's all signed, and what else to see. Who knows, this contract is two. One is mine, and one is kept. I went back to my lodgings, picked up the deed, and looked at it carefully. Now I remember the contents of the contract. To put it mildly, the brothers below may not understand. I will simply say that this contract is my voluntary participation in the militia group, and I will pay eight taels of silver per month. Thirty per month. Deduct three taels of silver as insurance money. Saying that, there must be some fraternity here who asked. These eight taels of silver are not very high! Why do you still deduct the insurance money of three taels of Laoshizi! Come, let me tell you what is going on with these three taels. Everyone has been on the battlefield and knows that there is a saying that 'the crockpot will inevitably be broken, and the general will inevitably die in battle'. If you think about it, generals will die on the battlefield. What's more, we are a pawn! These three taels of insurance money are insurance. If one day I do die on the battlefield. Then, from the day I joined the militia group, plus my pension, I will pay it all at once. I calculated that if I were killed, I would be able to get two hundred and thirteen taels of silver. Some people don't know what a pension is, but I tell you that a pension is money that you give you when you die or when you are injured. If you are injured, you will be given it to yourself. If you die, the money is distributed to your family. "Two hundred taels of silver, even if you die on the battlefield, it will relieve the worries of the brothers. On the day I signed the contract, I received a sum of silver for settling-in money, not much, only twenty taels of silver. But how many catties of brown rice can I buy with 20 taels of silver! I don't have a family, and I don't know how to spend it after I get it. Only deposited in our own bank. Brother, do you say that you sell cheaply? It is insulting to say that you buy and sell. Everyone has one life, and no one has more lives than others. Just like us, I work for you, and it's as simple as you giving me money. Actually, we can be regarded as a businessman! People sell goods, and we work hard. It's as simple as that. How valuable your life is, it depends on what price you sell! Let's just say this brother, think about whether Wen Jun is worth it in exchange for 20 catties of brown rice. Is it worth your dedication to serving Wenjun? Think about it, too. Think about it, everyone. Next, I will announce that I have decided to deal with you. ”

There was a buzz below. It didn't take long for a bearded man to stand up and ask, "I believe what this official said." I have long heard that the treatment of this militia is better than that of the imperial army. I want to ask if there are any more people in the militia group? I also want to join. I just don't know if I will be deducted by my boss after joining. ”

The instructor took a piece of paper handed over by Zhu Yi and looked at it. He saluted Zhu Yi and saluted the prisoners below who looked extremely awkward. He does not kneel, nor raises his hands to clench his fists. A hand raised is considered a salute. The instructor looked carefully at the documents handed over by Zhu Yi on how to deal with this batch of prisoners. I heard a soldier ask. I just wanted to talk. was stopped by Zhu Yi. Zhu Yi said loudly: "The military salaries and meals of the militia are all real. There is no delinquency in the slightest. Who would dare to withhold the military pay and food of the militia group. Lao Tzu cut off his head. What's more, it is impossible to withhold military salaries. The militia is not paid by your officers. Instead, he received it from the bank. Every military salary is directly put into the bank. I took the approval slip and went to get it. Zhu Yi's voice was a bit loud. Zhu Zheng, who was standing not far away, shook his head.
