Volume 1 The Hidden Dragon in the Abyss Chapter 337 Joining the Army
Lao Pang waved his hand, "It's all fellow villagers in the same place, if I don't help you, who will." ”
Xun San held Lao Pang's hand with an excited face.
That night, Xun San told his wife about the idea of preparing to be a soldier.
Hearing that Xun San was going to be a soldier, his wife's first reaction was naturally disagree, but Xun San had a lot of contact with the news, and told his wife about the benefits of being a soldier in Linjiang City.
As long as he becomes a soldier, his family can almost 100% obtain the citizenship of Linjiang City.
When the time comes, the eight-year-old child will be sent to the compulsory school to study, the old mother will be sent to the old people's home to support, and his wife will still be eligible to work in the factory in Linjiang City.
Not to mention killing three birds with one stone, even if Xun San dies in battle, his family can get a lot of subsidies, and he can use these subsidies to buy a decent house in Linjiang City at that time.
Moreover, after he became a soldier, he could send his monthly salary home at any time to subsidize his family.
Either way, it's a lucrative deal!
It was the first time his wife had heard of the benefits of being a soldier in a way she had never imagined.
That night, his wife agreed to Xun San's joining the army.
The next day, Xun San stopped working, and wandered around at the gate of the Terracotta Division in the south of the city, waiting for the recruitment of the Terracotta Division to begin.
One or two squatted for two or three days, but every movement continued, and Xun San began to mutter whether the news that Lao Pang gave him was true or not!
But in line with the idea that he would rather believe what he has than what he doesn't, he continued to squat at the door.
On the fourth day, the house was about to be unable to open the pot, but Xun San still decided to continue to squat.
Xun San's wife went from being excited at the beginning to being dissatisfied, and now she has begun to blame Xun San for not having an opinion, complaining that the family can't open the pot.
Seeing Xun San go out in the morning and still go home in the evening, his wife finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"I said that you haven't done anything these days, and you don't even have rice at home, are you going to starve your mother and son to death? Every day, I went to the gate to squat, and there was no sound, that is, the hen laid eggs, and she would crow twice! According to me, if you can't go, don't go, understand that you can find a job, and solve the food at home first. ”
Unexpectedly, Xun San saw his wife complaining but didn't take it seriously, and walked directly to the tent and sat down.
"Hey, did you hear what I said? And said it was ......"
Before he finished speaking, he saw Xun San put an ingot of broken silver on the table.
Seeing the broken silver, his wife's eyes widened, and she hurriedly asked, "Where did this silver come from?" ”
"Today, the people of the Terracotta Division put up a recruitment notice, and I am the first to report my name, which is their advance of my salary."
"Advances? And such a good thing? ”
"I heard that this is what the eldest prince meant, maybe he also knows that we can't open the pot at home."
"And what if someone takes the money and doesn't go?"
Xun San smiled when he heard it, "Don't go?" Who would be so stupid? Don't you see, I just finished registering, and the whole venue was crowded, and those people almost burst their heads in order to register for their names, and then it was the soldiers of the Cold Wind Battalion who came to maintain order, so there was no problem. ”
When his wife heard this, she was also long-sighted, and it was the first time she heard that the conscription application could be so hot.
She then looked at the broken silver on the table, "That's all for this month's salary?" ”
When Xun San heard this, he said with some pride: "What is this, I heard the soldiers of the Cold Wind Battalion stationed on the side say that these are just half-monthly salaries advanced by the government." ”
The boss of his wife's eyes was a little incredulous, "It's only been half a month?" ”
"Hmm. Anyway, this is what those soldiers of the Cold Wind Battalion said, and I quite listen, some of them have been promoted by military merits, and the salary will only increase, and many of them have been allocated land in their families! ”
As soon as she heard that the land was allocated, her eyes were almost red, there was no way, her ancestors had been authentic farmers for generations, who could refuse the temptation of land.
"Then you must work hard in the future, and you must be worthy of this gift from His Royal Highness the Great Prince!"
"Then don't worry, the conscription department has already made the conditions clear, exactly the same as what Lao Pang told me, when I join the army, someone will come to our house to register the civil registration, and then our baby can go to the compulsory school!"
"Hey, our old mother......"
"Let's live with you for the time being, I don't think it's good to put the old mother in the nursing home, I can still help if I have something with you, I really can't help it, and then send it to the nursing home."
His wife nodded.
Conversations like the Xun Sanjia are everywhere in the entire homeless area, some people are constantly annoyed that they were not chosen, and some people are at home to explain things to their wives and children.
But everyone who lives in Linjiang City is full of enthusiasm.
The conscription campaign lasted for four days, until 5,000 was recruited every day, and in order to ensure fairness, the four days were carried out in four districts: A, B, C, and D.
In order to be able to register, some people lined up at the door of the recruitment office on the first day, waiting for them to report.
In order to grab this place, many people even use money to buy a seat, just to be able to apply.
That's it, there is no market, after all, those who can join the army are not wealthy families, they will not come up with too much money, and it is impossible for ordinary people to come up with too much money just to get a place to sign up.
Money can buy things, but it can't buy people.
Almost all of them joined the army to get the citizenship of Linjiang City, which was much more useful than money.
Some of the small traders in Linjiang City are not eligible for citizenship, let alone these displaced people? Joining the army is the only way.
At the end of the four days, the recruitment process was unusually smooth.
The 20,000 high-quality soldiers were recruited very easily.
In fact, there is a reason for only recruiting 20,000 people, not that the production capacity of the factory can only produce 20,000 pairs of armor, if Huang Zhang orders, let alone 20,000 pairs, it is 200,000 pairs, and Shi Yunmeng can also rush to produce them.
It's just that the logistical support for these soldiers can only be maintained at a maximum of 20,000.
After all, behind these 20,000 soldiers are 20,000 families, and behind these 20,000 families, there are 20,000 children and the elderly.
Moreover, the more people, in fact, the combat effectiveness is just like that, 20,000 newly recruited soldiers, plus the previous soldiers of the Cold Wind Battalion, is already a very large number, no matter where it is placed, it is not a small combat power.
Of course, these have also reached the limit of what Linjiang City can accommodate today.
If you come again, the volume of Linjiang City will not be able to hold up!
And when Linjiang City was recruiting troops, Huang Zhang also received a very heavy news.
Someone from the capital is coming!
Gonggong Hong in the capital rushed to Wucheng thousands of miles to convey the will of the current Emperor of Suguo.
Hearing the news, Huang Zhang rushed to Wucheng as soon as possible.
And this also means that a new journey is about to begin!
