Chapter Seventy-One: No Change

Not more.

It is the fourth rank of the twentieth rank of the Qin Dynasty.

It means as much as its name.

No, it means that you don't have to serve a year and a month of war, which is commonly known as conscription.

For men, this is a great thing.

The Qin state's battle was very burdensome, even heavier than taxes.

He not only carried out some simple military training, but also undertook the construction of various projects, such as building city walls, roads, digging canals, transporting grain and grass, and maintaining horses.

Moreover, the government of the Qin State has extremely strict requirements for the quality of service, and if the wall built does not meet the requirements, not only will you be punished, but the officials in charge of the change will also be punished.

And the built city wall must have a one-year warranty period, if it is damaged within one year, the officials will be punished, and all the guards who originally repaired this section of the city wall must be caught back for repair, and the time of repair is not included in the service time.

In addition, the guard must also obey the country's requisition at any time, when the war is necessary, when to enlist in the war, and the time of participation in the war is uncertain, depending on the length of the battle, generally will not be replaced in the middle of the battle, may be on the battlefield, never come back.

This continued until men reached the age of cessation of duty, and the non-commissioned officers retired at the age of 60, and those with titles below the age of 56.

Now that Zhao Tuo has been promoted to the fourth level, at least he no longer has to go to work as a laborer for free every year to repair the city wall, which is a real benefit brought by the title.

Of course, it doesn't mean that if the title is upgraded, there will be no need to fight.

Although the battle of the guards is exempt, the battle of the soldiers is still indispensable, and if you really want to go to the battlefield, you have to carry your bags and follow.

"Okay, Tun Chief, you're wearing a crown, I don't know when I can wear a crown and go out to show off."

The black buttocks stared at the crown on Zhao Tuo's head with envy, he had just been upgraded to Shangzao, his hair was tied into a right bun, and he was covered with a red scarf.

"Phew, your black ass has become a masterpiece, and you're still so dissatisfied." Xiaobai said with a sour mouth.

The black buttocks laughed: "Gongshi Xiaobai, your title is lower than mine, you will be more respectful to me in the future, do you hear?" ”

Xiaobai rolled his eyes and shouted: "You black ass, who hasn't seen anyone yet, this time it's just a good luck to follow the tun chief, if it is replaced by me guarding the north gate, this time it will be me who becomes the upper one." ”

The black buttocks laughed and said: "That's not because my black buttocks are strong, so I will be favored by the tun chief." No, what kind of tun chief is this, as soon as Ah Tuo is promoted this time, I'm afraid he will be promoted to a hundred generals. ”

"Tsk, it seems that I will be called Zhao Baijiang in the future."

Xiaobai, Xi Qigu, Black Buttocks, Shima and several other old men surrounded Zhao Tuo, who had just put on a trapezoidal crown, and praised him one after another.

Even Shiruma, who had rarely spoken, kept nodding at Zhao Tuo with a faint smile on his face.

Xiaobai and Xi Qigu are still dukes, and those two pairs of eyes are about to flash stars.

Zhao Tuo looked at a few of his cronies and said with a smile: "If you work hard, sooner or later you will be promoted to a knighthood." ”

"Okay, I will definitely follow in the footsteps of the hundred generals."

Xi Qi said heavily, he looked at the black buttocks and the red scarf on Shiruma's head at the moment, and his heart was extremely envious.

When he first joined the army, he still had the pride of the public soldiers, village officials and the Xiqi family, and looked down on these white-bodied soldiers who were born in mud, but now all the pride has been severely shattered by reality.

Seeing that all the white-bodied soldiers in Gengshi in the past have become superiors, and even Zhao Tuo, who used to be a public soldier with him, has become a no-change, which is a full three-level title higher than him.

And Zhao Tuo is indeed a real credit, which makes people have to be convinced.

Xi Qigu now understands that if the young man in front of him does not change, he must have the ability to soar to the sky, and not changing the title is definitely not his apex. If you follow him closely, you may have a bright future.

Just when Xi Qigu was completely devoted to Zhao Tuo.

Zhao Tuo also has a long hope in his heart.

"Sure enough, the battlefield has been upgraded the fastest, and in less than half a year, I have already been promoted to the third level. If you listen to Brother Zheng's words, if you sit in the school room, you may not be able to move up to the next level in three years. ”

"But by decapitation by the squad, you can go up one level at most. When you reach the fifth level of the doctor's title, it is not so easy to rise, and if you want to raise the title quickly, you have to think of some other way besides participating in the big war. ”

Just as Zhao Tuo thought, if the fourth-class title is not changed, he can already serve as a hundred generals in the army, and this position can be upgraded to the eldest doctor by beheading the thirty-third level of Ying.

But further up, it's not just a head that can be upgraded.

Unless you participate in a battle of the level of Yishui and capture Wuyang, you can only upgrade, and ordinary battles can accumulate some credit at most, and it is difficult to reach the standard of upgrading.

After all, the title of Qin State in this period is still very precious, and a fourth level is not enough to make people fight for their heads.

How can it be like more than ten years later, Qin Shi Huang gave him a knighthood several times, so that the title of Qin State began to be abused.

Even among the laborers who repaired the Qin Tomb, there were many debtors who did not change and built the title. These knights worked with the convicts during their lifetimes, and when they died, they dug a pit and buried them with the convicts.

However, no matter how indiscriminate Qin's title is, it is much better than the eight-level system of civil lords made by the Han Dynasty later.

Like Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, who reigned for 18 years, he gave the world a thirteenth level of male title.

Even a child of a few years old can have the title of eighth rank duke, so the people do not like to get a knighthood, and they are not afraid to lose a knighthood. Just thinking about it is outrageous, and it completely plays this military merit system to the point of collapse.

Just when everyone received the knighthood and was overjoyed.

Suddenly, Li Xin's short soldiers came.

"Tun Chang Zhao Tuo, General Li announced that you should go."

Everyone was stunned, not knowing why Li Xin, as a general, went directly to Zhao Tuo. After all, there are still fifth-level leaders between them.

Zhao Tuo thought for a moment and responded: "No." ”

Zhao Tuo did not dare to delay, and followed Li Xin's short soldiers all the way through the camp and into the city of Zhuoyi.

Now, with the arrival of Wang Qian's army, Zhuoyi City is under military control, and there are almost no pedestrians on the wide streets, but after a while, Zhao Tuo came to Li Xin's residence.

Outside the house, there were several personal guards, armed with weapons, standing straight.

Seeing Zhao Tuo coming, their eyes made eye contact with each other, full of surprise.

Zhao Tuo smiled at them, straightened his shirt slightly, straightened the crown on his head, held his head high, and walked straight in.

In the house, Li Xin was the only one.

He sat on his knees on the couch, holding a silk book in his hand and reading, which was full of words.

Seeing Zhao Tuo coming in, his eyes suddenly lit up.

The young man wearing the armor is not more, the body is well-proportioned, the face is handsome, and he can be called a beautiful boy no matter where he puts it.

"Meet the General."

Zhao Tuo hurriedly saluted.

Li Xin looked at Zhao Tuo, did not beat around the bush, and spoke straightforwardly.

"Starting today, your department will transfer my short soldiers, and you will be a hundred generals."
