Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 416 Entering the Military Academy
Pin your opponent down and keep him immobilized.Until the opponent surrendered, Wang Zhongfu jumped away.He laughed loudly and said, "Okay, okay, we won another game today! Is there any one of you who can do something better? Come out and compete!"

Humanity on one side said: "Saburo is not only good at reading and writing, he is also good at wrestling. Which one of us is his opponent?"

When everyone was making noise, Xu Shijie came over.Unfolding a stack of papers in his hand, he said: "This is the account where your salaries are saved. Everyone came to sign. After signing, all the money will be sent directly to the bank, and you can go to the bank to get it when you use it."

Meng Dan couldn't help shaking his head when he heard this: "Dutou, there are only three hundred cash a month, which is not a lot of money! Why don't you send it directly to us and deposit it in some bank! We came from Guanzhong, and we didn't hear about it until we arrived in Dengzhou. Which bank can use it? "

Xu Shijie said: "If you don't know how to use it, you have to learn! Most of the money in the future will come from the bank, so what can you do? Three pennies a month is not much, but you can do many things, don't underestimate it. If you save it for a year, you will be able to do a lot of things." There's a lot to come!"

Wang Zhongfu said with a smile: "I saved less than four pennies a year, what a lot of money!"

Xu Shijie said: "You don't know, this is for your own good. When you find the money in your hand, you accidentally spend it. Wait until the end of the year, and calculate if there is any money left in your hand. It is different in the bank, it is easier to save money .”

The salaries of all public servants, including officials and soldiers, are all paid in the bank.If you want to use it personally, take your passbook to pick it up.Wang Xiaolie did this not to let everyone save money, but to collect cash into the bank as much as possible.Now the bank's profit is mainly the interest rate difference between loans and deposits.The more deposits in the bank, the more money the bank has to lend.The bank earned interest, and the local government borrowed money to do some necessary projects.

There is interest stored in the bank. In this era, it is very attractive to the common people.It's just that the banks have absorbed deposits, and now the channels for loans are limited, mainly relying on government projects, such as road construction and canal digging.

Instead of arguing with Xu Shijie, everyone stepped forward and filled in their names.

Most of these people can't write. After arriving here, the literate people are specially organized to literacy for everyone.These days, first make sure that everyone can write their own names.Although most people write their names crookedly.

Putting the paper in, Xu Shijie said in a loud voice: "It's been ten days since I've been here, and you should be familiar with this village. After two days, everything has become official, and it's no longer as loose as it is now. In addition to doing work every day, I also hired a teacher for you." Sir, I am here to teach you how to read. Our army is different from other armies. After serving as a soldier for several years, everyone is required to know how to read."

Someone laughed and said, "Everyone is just joking. When we become soldiers, we fight with swords and guns. What's the use of knowing characters? Can Mao Zhuizi kill people? How can learning be of any use?"

Xu Shijie said: "After a long time, you will know how useful it is to know how to read! If you don't know how to read, you are just like a blind person. Our place is different from Guanzhong. Even ordinary people have many places to write. Alright, There is no need to argue about this!"

After finishing speaking, he said again: "You five, Wang Zhongfu, Cui Liang, Xu Zhe, Li Qing, and Meng Chao, stay here. I have something to say!"

After letting everyone disperse, Xu Shijie said to the five Wang Zhongfu who stayed behind: "Recently, the military academy is recruiting new recruits. Among us, some of you are literate, and you will take the exam in five days. If you pass the exam, you will Enter the military school."

Wang Zhongfu said: "Dutou, what's the use of entering the military academy?"

Xu Shijie said: "It's very useful! Now the officers in the army, in principle, must be educated from the military academy. If you are above the head, unless you are specially approved by the army, you must use the people who have learned from the military academy. You have been admitted to the military academy , study there for two years, and when you come out, you will be a general!"

Xu Zhe said: "The generals in the army don't get promoted until they fight and make military merits in battle? Why do they study for two years in military school, and they are comparable to military merits."

Xu Shijie said: "It's different in our army. Military merit is military merit, and officer promotion is promotion. It's not the same thing."

Even those who have achieved military merits can also enter the military academy, and they have priority.Wang Xiaolie meant that military academies are the only source of officers.Even if you can't learn anything after entering the military academy, you still have to walk around inside.There are many advantages to doing this.

What is taught in the military academy is the content taught by the former military instructors, as well as the knowledge collected over the years, and most importantly, the summary of the two years of war experience.Although the time is short and the teaching material is rough, it is very practical.The source of freshmen in military academies is now mainly soldiers, plus scholars recruited from society.It is necessary to use the military academy in the shortest possible time, coupled with literacy in the army, to make the army cultured.

From Guanzhong to Dengzhou, these people have no chance to contact the society.After arriving in Dengzhou, they lived in this isolated village. The few people knew almost nothing about the situation in Dengzhou.Surrounded by Xu Shijie, he asked miscellaneous questions about the situation of the military academy.

In the Song Dynasty, there were institutions similar to military academies.It is mainly the archers and horses of the squadrons and their children in the Forbidden Army.However, these institutions do not focus on teaching, but are by the emperor's side and are well known by the emperor.They are sent out as officers.

After finishing all the orders, Xu Shijie said, "I won't be doing any work today, so go back and rest. For the next five days, you don't have to go out to work like everyone else, as long as you prepare well."

Wang Zhongfu said: "What are you preparing for? Dutou, we don't know anything about the military school exams. How can this be done?"

Xu Shijie said with a smile: "The military academy is only to recruit people who are able to read and write, and are also physically strong. They don't take any military knowledge. You just read more books and wrestle with each other in your spare time."

The five nodded, still vaguely understanding.However, Xu Shijie hadn't passed the military school exam, so he couldn't provide any advice.He is a veteran and can read some words.Before I was promoted to the capital, I went to the military academy for a month, how much can I learn?

Sending Xu Shijie away, Wang Zhongfu said: "Since we don't know anything about the exam, what are we going to do? Today's weather is fine and the breeze is not cold, why don't we ask Mr. Gu to help him buy some wine and meat?"

The rest of the people applauded together.During the days in this village, unless you ask for leave, you are not allowed to leave the village.Even if you go out of the village, you have to go with five people, and you are not allowed to go out alone.Rich people like Wang Zhongfu, after getting acquainted with each other, often ask the staff to help them buy things when they come back.

Mr. Gu has undergone a great change, and his personality has become extraordinarily kind.As long as the recruits in the village have requests, he will almost always satisfy them.

I found Mr. Gu, gave him money, and asked him to go to the nearby market to buy some wine and meat.Wang Zhongfu lay alone on a boulder in the open space outside the village, looking at the sun in the sky.The sun is not blinding.After watching it for a long time, it seems that the sun is beating in the air, like a heart.

Since joining the army, life has been simple but not boring.As soon as I open my eyes every day, I have already arranged what I have to do today.Who is with whom, what to do, everything is clear.The daily tasks are clear and clear, when to do it and when to rest.Although I am tired every day, I live a simple and happy life.These newcomers to the barracks don't think there is anything wrong with being a soldier.

What kind of life would it be like if you were admitted to a military academy?Wang Zhongfu looked at the sun in the sky, thinking about it.
