Chapter 160
To be a soldier is to go to the battlefield!

You don’t need to think about how cruel the war is. It’s a meat grinder. No amount of human life is enough. Especially in this era of cold weapons, everyone chops each other with knives. It’s okay if the head is chopped off. I'm happy, I'm afraid of the kind of people who are cut half to death, can't move, and die in pain, watching themselves bleed to death, even if they survive the battlefield by chance, they will have to fight in the follow-up war. How many people can live safely? To retire?
Some people quit the war in the middle, but they were all missing arms and legs. They could no longer go to the battlefield and could only take their injuries home. They would be disabled for the rest of their lives, and the rest of their lives would be called pain.

Everyone is raised by their mothers and fathers. Parents have worked so hard to raise their sons. How can they be willing to send them to the battlefield?If you go, you may never come back.

Although there are many opportunities to make contributions on the battlefield, they are all made with one's life. After wading through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, how many people can become famous on the battlefield?
Many are unknown heroes!
On the battlefield, a person's death is too insignificant, like a drop of water in the ocean, which cannot even be turned over by a wave.

After a moment of silence, Yun Jing thought for a while and asked, "Grandpa, is it necessary for someone who meets the requirements to be a soldier?"

"Yes, it must!" Yun Lin said in a deep voice.

To be honest, the conscription standards of the Dali Dynasty are already very humane, with people over 16 years old and under 40 years old, and there is no need for single-child families at present. If a family has more sons of the right age, it is enough to have one person, and it will not appear Unforgettable things.

But after all, it is going to the battlefield, and there is a possibility that there will be no return. If it is not a last resort, how many people are willing to serve as soldiers?
Yun Jing still doesn't understand the laws of the Dali Dynasty, so after getting his grandfather's answer, he hesitated and said, "Grandpa, what will happen if you don't go?"

"The consequences are very serious!" Yunlin sighed, and then said: "If a family that meets the requirements refuses to serve in the military, first, the younger generation will be disqualified from the imperial examination forever, and secondly, half of the land will be confiscated. If there is corvée service in the future, such a family will Priority to be 'taken care of', and what's more, if the circumstances are particularly serious, they will be dealt with as deserters, and lawsuits are light, and they may be decapitated as an example to others!"

Yun Jing did not expect that the consequences of military service would be so serious. Yongshi would be disqualified from the imperial examination, fundamentally cut off the chance to stand up, half of the land property would be confiscated, and half of the income from the land property would be confiscated. It would be difficult for a family to survive, and they would be allocated priority Corvée, under intensive care, is not surprising to be exhausted to death, and then beheaded if it is serious!
After all, this is a feudal dynasty, and the rules are set. If you don't abide by them, you will be fighting against the court, and it will be strange if it will end well.

As for the fact that there is no such thing as wanting to hide your family situation to avoid military service, treating your household registration as a display?Find out about your family situation.

Yun Jing said helplessly: "Grandpa, you can't hide from this kind of thing. You should tell the villagers as soon as possible, so that everyone can prepare in advance."

"I think so too, but I really can't say that. After all, everyone is from the village. Is the battlefield a place where people can go? It is very likely that they will not come back." Yunlin struggled.

After thinking for a while, Yun Jing said: "Grandpa, it's only natural for soldiers to go to the battlefield. Besides, you don't have to go to the battlefield as soon as you go, you have to train for a period of time, and what's more, you can't be a soldier for nothing. You have to Is there some benefit?"

"That's true. The official who came to inform me that day said that a soldier is paid one tael of silver a month, and food and clothing are provided by the court. If he goes to the battlefield, he can get a reward of ten taels of silver for killing an enemy. In exchange for equivalent fields, those who perform well can still be promoted. I don’t know the details. Then, if you are disabled, you will have a settling allowance of 50 taels of silver. If you die on the battlefield, you will get 100 taels of silver. Pension", Yun Lin told all the benefits of being a soldier that he knew.

Yun Jingxin said that this is reasonable, and then said: "In this case, Grandpa, don't hesitate, tell the villagers as soon as possible, procrastination is not an option, you have to face the reality, and think about the best in everything, Being a soldier is hard and dangerous, but there are opportunities to make contributions, right?"

"That's right, I'll inform the villagers later, it's almost dinner time, and everyone will be back soon," Yunlin finally sighed.

Nodding, Yun Jing asked again: "Grandpa, how many families in our village meet the requirements for conscription?"

"About twenty households." Yunlin didn't even think about it. After living in Xiaoxi Village for decades, he still knows the situation of each household in the village.

In other words, there must be about 20 people who have to go out of production to serve in the army. After they go, no one knows how many people will come back alive in the end.

Yunjing hates war, no matter in the previous life or in this life.

But this kind of thing is beyond his control...

Speaking of this matter, the topic is too heavy, Jiang Susu interrupted, and changed the subject: "Okay, let's not talk about this, Xiaojing, have you eaten yet? What do you want to eat, mother will make it for you"

"Mom, I want to eat your green bean stuffed rice, it's delicious, with cucumber mixed, I can eat three big bowls," Yun Jing said with a smile.

Jiang Susu stood up and said, "Okay, wait a minute, it will be ready soon, and, Xiaojing, I used to use green beans to stew rice, but it was because there was not enough food to eat. Now I don't have to pay taxes, and the harvest is still good." Well, you don’t need to save as before, but since you want to eat, mother will make it for you.”

With that said, Jiang Susu went to the kitchen.

There was not enough food in the past, and there was no way to order something to fill the stomach with the meal. Yunjing knew it, and now he said that he wanted to eat string bean stewed rice, and he wanted to liven up the atmosphere. Who knows that mother is serious up.

The restrictions on conscription are quite loose this time, and Yunjing's family has not been affected, but it is not a good thing for other families.

No matter what, you still have to live your life, think more about happy things, and don't live in troubles all the time, otherwise life will be too sad.

During the meal, Yun Jing said: "Grandpa, father, mother, I have two good news to tell you, one is about me, and the other is about younger siblings, which one do you want to hear first?"

The family members were successfully attracted attention, Yunshan slapped Yunjing on the forehead and said: "You're showing us off, tell me, there is some good news, tell your father and I will be happy too."

Yunjing is speechless, dad, you can know if you want to know, why did you do it, well, you are dad, I don't care about you.

Seeing his younger brothers and sisters looking at him curiously, Yun Jing said: "Let me tell you the good news about them first. Grandpa, father, mother, Yun Dong is not young now, so he can't farm for the rest of his life. I asked Master , the master also agreed, in the next semester, that is, in autumn, Xiaodong can go to school to study, and then, when Xiaoxi is older and suitable for her age, she can also go to the town to study. The child's private school, the master will help to contact you when the time comes."

"Really? Brother, what you said is true? I can study too?" Xiao Yundong said excitedly immediately, even forgot to eat.

He has always been envious of his brother's study, mainly because he can not work. Now he heard that he can also study, but he was so excited that he couldn't wait to confirm.

Yun Jing smiled and said, "Of course it's true."

"Haha, that's great, I can study now too." After being confirmed, Yun Dong was so happy that he jumped up.

Hearing this news, the whole family was very happy, and the previous haze dissipated a lot.

Yunlin Laohuai said with great comfort: "Xiaodong can also study. There are two scholars in the family. By the way, there is also Xiaoxi who can also read and read. The ancestors bless you, really the ancestors bless you."

Having been a farmer all his life, he never even dared to think about going to school. Now that all the children in the family can go to school, Yunlin is like a dream.

Jiang Susu looked at Yun Xi in his arms and said, "Xiao Xi, did you hear that? Your brother said that you will be able to read and write in the future. Are you happy?"

"Reading, hee hee, I want to study too," Yun Xi said in a childish voice. She still doesn't understand the meaning of reading, but her family is happy, so she is also happy.

At this moment, Yun Jing looked at Yun Dong and said, "Xiao Dong, don't be too happy too early. If you don't read something famous for me when you study in the future, let's see how I will deal with you!"

"Brother, I'll be a scholar from now on, you still beat me up? It's not like this." Yun Dong's face turned pale when he saw his brother's majesty.

Yun Lin was sensible and said to Yun Dong: "Your brother is kind to you."

"Hmph, well, I will study hard in the future, and I must learn better than my brother. I will see how you beat me then." Yundong raised his chin and hummed.

Yun Jing smiled and said: "That's the best, you can learn better than me, I'm too happy to be happy."

At this moment, Yun Shan's expression was a bit tangled, he was naturally happy in his heart, but he was also a little inexplicably melancholy, he was the head of the family, but this family had undergone earth-shaking changes because of his son.

I only know how to farm and have no skills. This family is actually supported by my son. For Yunshan, who is a father, it has to be said to be an inexplicable sadness.

He didn't struggle for long, looked at Yun Jing and said, "What else? Tell me, what's the other good news about you?"

"The good news about me is, grandpa, dad, mom, I'm a child now, haven't you noticed that my clothes and hairstyle are different from before?"

Jiang Susu smiled and said, "It's different, I didn't notice it just now."

"Tong Sheng? What is that?" Yun Shan scratched his head and said, not understanding.

Well, it's normal for them not to understand, Yun Jing explained: "Tongsheng is a title obtained after passing the imperial examination, and now I also have a reputation. With such a reputation, I can receive four sets of clothes from the government every year, and Some money and food, oh yes, after getting fame, you can be exempted from corvee and military service, father, do you understand?"

"I understand, but I understand, but there are so many benefits?" Yun Shan exclaimed, he didn't even dare to think about such a thing, and felt a little unreal.

Yun Jing smiled and said: "It can be false, the government clearly stipulates that you can find out after a little inquiry."

"That's great, hey, my son is also a man of fame, tsk, do you want to have a drink to celebrate? I think it's absolutely necessary," Yun Shan immediately clapped his hands and said happily.

Yunlin knocked on the table and said: "It's fine to set up wine. Normally, this kind of thing should be celebrated with wine, but now is not the time. The children of other families are going to serve as soldiers and go to the battlefield. Let's celebrate here." , it’s not appropriate, let’s talk about it later.”

"That's right," Yun Shan said with a froze and depressed expression. He was too happy before, and forgot about this.

Then Yunjing said again: "Grandpa, I haven't finished yet. I forgot to tell you that I am the first in the county test. According to the agreement between me and Master, after I get the first place in the county test, Xiaodong will go to school to study in the future." , the master will help out all the expenses, and ah, the master will recommend a master to Xiaodong, in short, you don't have to worry about anything."

"Is there such a good thing?" Yun Lin asked in disbelief.

Nodding his head, Yun Jing said, "Of course it's true, Grandpa, I don't need to lie to you about this kind of thing."

"Okay, okay..." When Yun Lin heard Yun Jing's answer, he was so happy that the wrinkles on his face disappeared a lot.

If you have a son like this, why worry about the family not prospering?

At this moment, Yun Dong curiously asked: "Brother, is it easy to take the exam for that child's fame?"

"As long as you study hard in the future, it's quite easy," Yun Jing replied.

For him, it is indeed quite simple, but his younger brother is still young, so there is no need to tell him the difficulty of the imperial examination, so as not to dampen his enthusiasm for studying now.

"Really, then I must study hard and get the honor soon, and I will be better than you in the future." Yun Dong said enthusiastically...

Looking at the smiles on the faces of his family members, Yunjing felt a great sense of accomplishment and satisfaction in his heart. He was not as happy as he was at the moment when he had achieved the achievements he had made before. He shared his achievements with his family members to make them happy and make them happy. A person with a bright face, a man and a child, that is what they want, isn't it?

In life, the most fearful thing is that when you achieve success, no one shares it. In that case, no matter how high your achievement is, it will not make people happy, but it will be a kind of sadness...

Happy times are always short-lived.

After the family finished eating, what should be faced was still to be faced. Yunlin hesitated again and again, got up and walked out. Taking advantage of the meal time, he went to the middle of the village, informed the villagers to assemble, and announced the conscription...
