For ordinary people, reading books and newspapers is out of reach and unnecessary.

Around their own one-third of an acre, for the sake of a few mouths of their families, they are busy and tired, and their concern for national affairs is obviously a luxury and fantasy.

However, the establishment of schools in villages and night schools in villages began to gradually change the inherent habits of the common people.

Reading newspapers to students, explaining the new policies promulgated by the state, and the cultivation essentials of new crops issued by the Liaodong government became a regular job for the school teachers.

Although it is not as professional as the government agricultural officials, the common people have listened to the long insight, their own farming can harvest more, and the new policies of the imperial court also have an impact on life, so the common people are naturally willing to listen to it and use it as a topic of conversation after tea and dinner.

In addition to the preferential policies introduced by Jilin Prefecture and the emperor's suggestion to raise sheep and drink milk to be healthy, Zhang Zhuzi went to the city and brought the news of the beginning of the implementation of the compulsory military system in Liaodong.

"I'm going to join the army in the future!" Yingzi was not so surprised, because it was not about his own business, he said with a smile: "This is also good, there are many troops in Liaodong, so I don't have to worry about war." ”

Yingzi's father drank porridge and said slowly: "Sixteen to eighteen years old, the age stipulated by the imperial court is quite good. Half-sized, eat poor old man. If you are sent to the army, your family can be more comfortable, and you can enjoy preferential policies after two years of discharge. ”

Zhang Zhuzi nodded, put the peeled eggs into his daughter-in-law's bowl, and said, "The common people should be in favor, those rich people don't want their children to suffer in the army." ”

After a pause, Zhang Zhuzi added: "But I really can't hide this." The government has set up a report box, and whoever evades military service will be reported, and there will be a reward. ”

Yingzi's father smiled and said, "Now you can choke the cheaters and punish them hard, see if they dare or not." ”

Yingzi broke the egg, but looked at the father and the man, revealing a trace of embarrassment.

"Your body is the most important thing, eat it all." Yingzi's father knocked down the bowl with chopsticks and said, "The sheep on credit are nothing, they can be returned in a year, don't worry about it." ”

The naturalization of the Mongol tribes such as the Inner Khalkha made the number of cattle and sheep traded no longer limited by the quota stipulated by the imperial court, which even allowed the naturalized ministries to enjoy the benefits. The price has been reduced, and the people of Liaodong have also benefited.

For example, the government launched the sheep and cattle on credit, in fact, they are scattered to the people's homes, and when the deadline is reached, the same amount will be returned.

In addition to cattle and sheep, there are also horses, which can also be taken on credit. Like cattle, the term is relaxed to three years, and only a symbolic amount of money is collected every year.

The best way is to make the state finances more and more abundant and to make the common people rich. Moreover, such as promoting consumption, stimulating the development of industry and commerce, creating more jobs, and so on, the emperor's thinking is broader than others, and it is all ahead of its time.

The model of male ploughing and female weaving, the traditional society has developed to the point where it must be changed. Of course, it's okay not to change it. Backwardness, the overall development of the country and the nation is sluggish, and it lags behind the trend of world development.

Zhang Zhuzi also nodded and said, "Even if you buy it, our family's money is enough." ”

Yingzi's father glanced at Zhang Zhuzi and said, "How much credit is appropriate, I can calculate this account clearly." ”

"I'm not worried." Yingzi smiled: "I know that it is right to listen to my father from childhood to adulthood." ”

Yingzi's father showed a proud and happy look on his face, put down the dishes and chopsticks, got up and said, "I'll go and herd the sheep and cut the grass, and the mother will stay at home." ”

"It's noon, you can rest and go again." Zhang Zhuzi persuaded: "In the afternoon, I will go to the field and take the car together." ”

Yingzi's father didn't reply, and waved his hand backwards as he walked, and said, "That's the way, it's a few steps away, and you still need to take a car?" ”

Zhang Zhuzi watched the old father-in-law go out, turned around and smiled at his daughter-in-law, cleaned up the table with his hands and feet, and said, "I'll do this work, you have a good rest." ”

Yingzi didn't fight, sat back, leaned on the quilt, smiled and instructed: "In a few days, you can catch some chicks." ”

"Okay." Zhang Zhuzi happily agreed and said, "It's good to wait for our old hen to hold the nest, you take care of your body first, don't worry." ”

Turning around to put away the dishes and chopsticks, when Zhang Zhuzi turned back again, he handed many things in his hand to Yingzi with a smile, and a fragrant fragrance came over.

"Soap?!" Yingzi's eyes lit up, and he reached out to take it, but he knew it was right after a cursory glance, and he couldn't help but look up at the man, and said angrily: "Spend that unjust money, our father has to talk about you when he knows about it." ”

Soap, soap, perfume and other things have been around for two or three years, but for ordinary people, they are still luxuries.

There is only soap, which is considered to be a large sales. But when it was not widely used, the emperor believed that this day was not too far away.

Having worked in a shop, Yingzi knows the price of this soap. I like it in my heart, but I feel a little distressed.

Zhang Zhuzi smiled and said, "The shop is engaged in promotional activities, and I happened to see Ah Tao, and the price is a lot cheaper." ”

Yingzi blinked, no longer delved, held it to her chest, sniffed the jasmine fragrance, her eyes closed slightly, and looked very peaceful.

Zhang Zhuzi watched attentively, his eyes slowly moved down, and the slightly bulging lower abdomen was pregnant with new life, which made him excited and full of happiness every time he thought about it.

That is the hope of the old Zhang family, and it is also the hope of the old Chen family.

After an unbearable war, he was the only one left in the Zhang family. Although after joining the army, he was full of hatred and was not afraid of death. But now that it is peaceful, he has a dream of a better life again.

………………….

The dream of a better life is not only owned by the Liao people who have experienced war. Actually, everyone wants to, everyone wants, and everyone is trying.

It's just that since the apocalypse three years later, anyone who has taken the right path, whether it is officials, scholars, businessmen, soldiers, or ordinary people, has gradually found that there will be greater hope for hard work.

You know, the sad thing is not not to work hard, but to work hard but not change. You are not afraid of being poor, but you are still poor after working hard, which is enough to kill the enthusiasm for struggle.

The rise of the country and the nation is inseparable from the people's hard work. All of them are muddy, numb and rigid, what hope is there for the country?

Therefore, the Ming Empire is still a heavenly kingdom and a great power, but it has changed too much in a few years from the inside out.

Zhu Yujian, the grandson of the Tang Dynasty, looked up at the magnificent and majestic noon gate, although he entered the palace many times, but this time the feeling was very different.

As the first vassal to give up the title of vassal king, Zhu Yujian finally completed his father's work.

It is really that the health of the prince of Tang Wang is too poor, and he does not think too much about his future, but puts all his concern on his son Zhu Yujian.

Since the son felt that giving up the title of vassal king was more than a loss, the prince of Tang did not insist too much. And the emperor's temperament, he has been in the capital for so long, and he has also figured out a lot.

Zhu Yujian took a deep breath and strode towards the imperial city.
