Peiping.

Yutian County.

Since ancient times, it has been known as the granary of eastern Hebei, the north is the remnant of Yanshan, the central is the vast plain area, and it is also the first area to complete land reform.

"Hmph."

The movement coming from the grass made the man in the distance motionless.

The man sat on his horse and stared at the grass from afar.

Before, the forest was not very large.

With the rise of the Katai system, the wasteland outside the forest became more abundant, and it had yellowed and dried up on the ground.

The man took out his bow and arrow from behind him and aimed it at the grass.

Soon.

A wild boar came out of the grass, and the man pulled his bow and shot an arrow in one breath, and with a "whoosh" sound, the arrow hit the wild boar.

After the boar was wounded, it spotted the humans who had attacked it and rushed over with a howl.

The man was not in a hurry, skillfully shook the reins, rode away, and distanced himself from the wild boar.

The wild boar couldn't catch up, and gradually stopped, still hesitating in the same place, whether to continue the chase, and it seemed that he had run out of patience.

The man saw the timing and drew his bow and shot an arrow, this time the arrow hit the boar in the head.

The boar's head is the hardest part, but the arrow is inserted into the boar's head, so you can imagine how powerful the arrow is.

The wild boar was seriously injured, chased a few steps in the direction of the man, shed blood, and finally fled with a shaky voice.

At this time.

The man followed unhurriedly, and hung behind the boar, waiting for the boar to run out of energy.

In front of the man who was skilled in tools, the wild boar had no brute force but could not use it, and finally fell to the ground.

The man dragged back the boar.

Lined with empty fields, the black-brown soil is overgrown with weeds, and the farmers will not plow until next spring.

The man took the wild boar off the horse's back and let the horse go and eat some grass.

He sat on the ridge and looked out over the plain.

When did everything change?

How hard farm work is.

The farm work is all hard.

At the beginning of spring next year, in order to get rid of the residual weeds, the whole family will go into battle, and after a day's work, everyone will lie motionless.

No one does that anymore.

Every family goes to buy pesticides.

Nowadays, people would rather spend more money to buy pesticides, and people get it again, and the weeding efficiency is faster.

Is that a person lazy?

The man stared at Tian Mu.

"Ugh."

Long.

The man sighed and returned to the road with his "prey", such a good man, he turned out to be a farmer.

Soon, the man returned to his own Kataui.

Soon met acquaintances.

"Hunting again?"

When the acquaintance saw the prey on the back of the man's horse, he stepped forward very familiarly and touched the dead wild boar.

"It's a boar."

The man nodded: "I didn't see the sow and the piglet, I will continue to look for it tomorrow." ”

The acquaintance looked for the wounds on the boar's body, and finally saw the large hole in the boar's brain.

"Your strength to shoot heavy arrows was the elite of the guards in the past."

The man smiled: "Firearms are popular now, and my archery skills are nothing."

"There used to be firearms, but firearms have changed a lot in recent years."

The acquaintance sighed: "I heard that there is a new firecracker, and you don't even need a fire rope, you can fire lead bullets as long as you pull the trigger." ”

"My brother in the army said in a letter that there are lines drilled into the barrel, and the lead bullets fired are far and accurate."

The man couldn't help but touch his beloved bow.

Because he was reluctant to use firearms, he left the army and returned to his hometown to farm, and the family was given a hundred acres of land.

Not wanting to go into this topic, the man sighed: "It's only been half a year, and there are more wild boars, and they destroy crops if they are not careful." ”

"There's no way around it."

The man laughed.

There are fewer people in the neighborhood, fewer people there are, animals start to increase, and the land is greener.

The two talked as they returned to the village.

There are eight families in the village, and each family has built a new house, and all of them have taken out loans for the construction of houses specially provided for military families at the Agricultural Development Grain Bank.

Workers also have a worker-specific home purchase loan, but apply for it at the Industrial Promotion Grain Stamp Bank.

The man's prey did not make a fuss in the village, and it was only a topic of conversation after cooking.

Each family eats.

In the past, when the weather was warm, families would gather under the big locust tree to eat together with their rice bowls.

Now that it's cold, people are back at home.

Soon.

Some of the men came to a family's house.

There were also children who came with them, who were kicked out by their masters.

Chief Katai was holding a newspaper with a date half a month ago, and unlike the newspapers on the market, he was holding a military newspaper in his hand.

Eight men sat around.

On the coffee table in the middle, there was a tea tray brought by a woman, and each person poured himself a cup of hot tea, as well as a plate of dried fruits.

"There was an attack in Yili, on a construction site for the construction of a railway, and was attacked by an unknown force."

"Although the nearby new troops arrived in time, it still caused more than 30 casualties among workers, which had a bad impact on the construction period of the construction site."

Katai Naga was a flag officer in the former guard station.

The flag officer is not necessarily Katai chief, and Katai chief is not necessarily a flag officer.

He read the military newspaper in his hand.

"Who dares to offend us?"

When people heard the news for the first time, they were surprised.

"After so much time, the new military newspaper should have published who the murderer was."

"Lao Wang, you have to go to the Weisi Yamen often, you can't read the military report half a month ago every time." Someone said dissatisfied.

Naga Katai pulled out a new military newspaper.

"It's a little strange, the new issue of the military newspaper is coming down very quickly." Katai did not explain.

The military report of the Wei Si Yamen was originally relatively slow.

"Did it say who the murderer was?"

"Nope."

"It is said that for the sake of industrial development, the Dusi Yamen has not yet decided on the military retaliation in Yilijiang."

"What is this like, they have been knocked on the door, and they can't be a turtle with a shrunken head."

The crowd was very dissatisfied.

Katai skipped this passage and began to read something else.

"The Beiping Military Attache Military Academy, after a year of exploration, will increase the training school for the children of military families next year."

"The training school for the children of military households is mainly short-term training, with a three-month period every year, and the registration conditions are for the children of military households."

"Huh."

"It seems that the above is dissatisfied with the lack of schooling for our children."

"It's good to go to school."

"It's a good thing to have one less laborer, what's the use of going to the new army when you grow up, and learning so much mess."

With the rise of schools, not every family is willing to send their children to school.

Many of the children of military households, who have become farm-based, are also reluctant to go to school.

Even in later generations, many children are reluctant to go to school.

It's just that the children can only go to school because of the forced school under the law.

Many military households think.

It is enough to be able to recognize some words and calculate accounts.

Many adults feel that outdoor classes, music theory classes, more advanced mathematics and science classes, etc., are useless for many adults.

Where to study, you need to study for nine years, and it is enough to study for two or three years at most.

"This training school for the children of military households, I think there is no way to do it, there are too many people like you who don't force their children to go to school."

Katai said dissatisfied.

Every meeting to read the military newspaper quickly passed in the small talk of everyone.

Every man went back to his house.

Katai's mother-in-law cleaned up the table.

Katai couldn't sleep.

He lit a kerosene lamp, spread out the paper on the table, and prepared to write a letter to the Dusi Yamen, and he could not calm down in the military newspaper about the affairs of Yili Jiangli.

"Hit."

"Be sure to fight."

"No one can bully us."

Katai wrote bluntly.

"If the Dusi Yamen is unwilling to use the new army, our military households can bring their own dry food to Yili Jiangli."

This orange lit room.

The more Katai wrote, the more excited he became.

The weak are bullied and often swallow their anger in the end.

Ordinary people are bullied and will try their best to deal with it.

The strong man was bullied, and he will definitely take revenge.

And the overlord was bullied, so he naturally paid it back tenfold.

With the simultaneous development of material civilization and spiritual civilization, Beiping, an industrialized society, a higher spiritual level, generally blossomed in the Ming Dynasty, and not only a very small number of people can have.

If no one offends me, I will not offend anyone; If anyone sins against me, I will offend.

This sentence seems ordinary.

However, combined with the national conditions at that time, we can see the spiritual height of the great man and how powerful the person is in his heart.

Many people.

When offended.

Not only does he not think about how to succeed in revenge, but he thinks about what he did wrong, and he can find countless reasons.

Because you did something wrong, you were offended.

It's essentially cowardice.

Fear of the price you will pay if you choose to fight.

No one thought of it.

The unintentional actions of the businessmen caused a huge commotion.

The Weisi Yamen in various places, and even the Dusi Yamen in Beiping, received countless letters from military households.

In Beiping, Daning, Kaiping, and Liaodong, there are hundreds of thousands of military households.

The Yamen of the Beiping Prefecture received at least a thousand letters.

Regarding the response of the urban yamen to the Yili incident, most of the military households thought that the Dusi yamen was too weak in handling it.

"I didn't expect that."

Chen Heng of the Dusi Yamen was amazed.

In his view, the Okamei system, coupled with Katai's advocacy of reading out military newspapers, these military households have not been "atomized", but have been loosened ideologically.

Not only did they retain their enthusiasm for military affairs, but they were also able to exert greater initiative, which was something that Chen Heng had not seen before.

Chen Heng found Zhu Gaochi with these following letters.

Zhu Gaochi chose neutralization.

Chen Heng persuaded: "Little prince, the people's will is difficult to disobey." ”

"You all dare to say that there are no small movements?"

Chen Heng smiled embarrassedly: "It's just that I have stepped up the speed of distribution, and I haven't done anything else." ”

Zhu Gaochi shook his head helplessly.

I thought I was a hawk.

Suddenly, he found out that he had become a dove, and Zhu Gaochi didn't know how to describe his current mood.

Or.

I somewhat underestimated the military-industrial complex.
