As soon as they heard Zhao Xiong say this, several people were so frightened that their faces were like earth, and they fell to the ground with a thud, kowtowing again and again, and no longer dared to make a sound.

The man at the head shouted: "My lord, we are not homeless, we are, the military craftsmen of the Acropolis of Weitongshan Island in Jining.

In the first year of Yongping, the Acropolis was relocated, and the commander did not need us anymore.

Our warmakers who have fathers and no fathers have stayed here, but fortunately, there are still two acres of thin fields here, and there are fish to fight, and they are just stealing their lives!

Please let us go! ”

kneeling in the back, kowtowing from time to time, his appearance pitiful.

Zhao Xiong read "The General Essentials of the Establishment of Military Households in Dakang" in the study, and knew that the establishment of military households in the Dakang Dynasty was the same as that of the previous dynasty, but some establishments were added.

The military craftsmen of the Acropolis are also compiled according to the hundred households, general flags, and small flags.

Therefore, Zhao Xiong also knew that according to the system, military craftsmen are hereditary, and like military households, their descendants are not allowed to leave their nationality and change their careers.

The man at the head was no better off than the craftsman next to him.

The weather was very cold, the clothes were tattered, frozen, shivering.

"Oh, you're powerful, as if you're striking iron.

What is your official position in the Acropolis? ”

Zhao Xiong asked with interest.

"The villain's surname is Wang, and he is a small banner among the military craftsmen, and his ancestors have always been iron-struck."

When Zhao Xiaodonkey heard this, he pursed his lips and whispered: "The little banner that beats the iron is still so miserable, it is a shame for the blacksmith." ”

Wang Xiaoqi smiled bitterly and didn't say anything.

looked at Zhao Xiaodonkey, revealing an envious expression.

At this time, Zhao Xiaodonkey was wearing a brand-new green military coat, a Lei Feng hat on his head, and a pair of black military boots on his feet.

In Wang Xiaoqi's eyes, it is better than that the families of the thousands of households in the Acropolis are better dressed, and they are not very bloated, and they have a bit of an elite taste.

He then turned to look at Zhao Xiong.

He knew that among this group of people, Zhao Xiong had the greatest aura, and he must be an official.

Liu Tongxun, who was standing behind Brother Zhao, was moved by compassion.

After all, the warmaker of the Acropolis of Tongshan Island is, in principle, still his cheap father, Jining Wei commands Liu Yu's soldiers.

He walked over, took out the roasted beef burritos from his mule's bag, and came to Wang Xiaoqi's side, next to a thin soldier who was kneeling.

He stretched out his hand and handed it over.

The short and thin little soldier raised his head Liu Tongxun looked at it again and looked at Wang Xiaoqi.

Wang Xiaoqi said: "Take it, this is what this adult gave you, you can eat it!" ”

The little soldier, whose face was as dirty as a smoking pot, immediately took it.

Maybe he was hungry, so he ate it in three or two clicks, and after eating, he stared at the luggage rack on the mule and stopped.

Zhao Xiong looked at his watch, it was time for lunch, and then said:

"Get up!

I want to visit where you live! ”

"My lord, our small village is poor and broken, there is really nothing to see!"

Wang Xiaoqi just got up and knelt down again, kowtowed and said.

Zhao Xiong was speechless.

Liu Sheng, the leader of the family next to him, said viciously: "The male master asked you to lead the way, you will lead the way, what so much nonsense, get up!" ”

The team walked more than a mile away from the gate of the military village, and when they reached the lake, there was a small village where more than a dozen military craftsmen lived.

They usually fish for a living, and they take on some private work to make iron and earn some money for firewood, rice, oil and salt.

Or make a living with the slender village in the back mountain.

The gang of military craftsmen on the Acropolis of Tongshan Island, there is a thousand households above them, who live in Zaozhuang Town.

The thousands of adults who usually move away send housekeepers to collect and scrape once a year when the Spring Festival is approaching.

But the old housekeeper knew about this gang, and the military craftsmen were so poor that they didn't even have a pair of pants, and they didn't come for three years.

In the theory of the system of the military department of the Dakang Dynasty, the military craftsmen had three buckets of monthly rations, and they only paid japonica rice every day when they went to work, but they deducted it from the thousand households.

A few years ago, there was still a little rice sent down, and in the next few years, the thousand households ignored here.

Ordinary military households have a monthly ration of one stone and their own fields.

But the military craftsmen have nothing but to sell some technical hard work.

The poor treatment of military craftsmen, coupled with the endless emergence of all kinds of hard labor, like military households, the flight of craftsmen has also become a common phenomenon.

Speaking of which, the military craftsmen are worse than the military households, not to mention being used as serfs by the commanders, and in terms of treatment, even the military households are far inferior.

In the sixth year of Dakang Yongping, according to the statistics of the Ministry of War, from the first year of Dakang to the third year, in three years, there were 4,255 deserters everywhere.

According to insiders, in the past six years, tens of thousands of fugitives have gone to sea along the canal and crossed the ocean to serve as pigs.

In the small mountain village, there is a road more than one meter wide that has just passed through ox carts, and thatched huts are scattered but very dilapidated along the east and west of Xiaoshan.

Knowing that the big officials were coming today, all the women and families of the military craftsmen secretly hid in the cracks of the door to watch, and they didn't dare to come out.

As for the head of the house, the weather is too cold, and many people are still thinly dressed and shivering from the cold, but they are lining up at the door of the house one by one, nodding their heads and waists.

He saw that the mud walls of the thatched hut were full of cracks, and there were people looking inside, all of them with yellow and thin faces and vegetable faces.

Some of the children were bare-bottomed in the courtyard, their buttocks were red from the cold, and they were wearing tattered clothes, and they were still looking at them curiously.

Zhao Xiong grew up under the red flag in his previous life, and knew that the warcraftsmen of Dakang must be very poor, but when he saw the families of these warcraftsmen at this time, he was still shocked.

And Zhao Xiong's family, each of them has a pair of liberation high-top cotton shoes, wears a green army green coat, and wears a liberation car head hat, tall and mighty.

If you carry a 56 submachine gun on your back, it looks like a flower planter in the fifties and sixties.

Zhang and Li Ge's family members were extremely envious, and they continued to flatter and say good words along the way.

These little bare-bottomed children in the middle of winter, with snot, silently picked up dung and eggs in the back of the ox cart.

Sitting on the little donkey, the little beggar moved his heart of compassion, if Tong Youzhu hadn't been caught by his father in this life, he would have escaped.

It is estimated that she will stay in Sijiu City for the rest of her life, talk about marriage and have children, and have no chance to see the cruelty of the world.

Tong Youzhu looked at Zhao Xiong with blank eyes.

Zhao Xiong felt like he had a feeling in his heart, and sighed and said:

"Zhao Xiaodonkey, go and carry two sheep down on the ox cart, and one family will send three boxes of canned meat, and one family will send two boxes of compressed biscuits.

Wang Xiaoqi, we are doing a bonfire party today, and I invite the men, women and children in the village to eat roast whole sheep together. ”

As soon as I heard that there was a roasted whole sheep to eat, there was an immediate commotion in the small village.

Wang Xiaoqi was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and said sadly:

"My lord, these two sheep, the village will exchange money for them, but our village really doesn't have any silver taels!

Grace to you! ”
