Chapter 755

"Poor people must have hateful places, and hateful people must have a dirty heart." Shi Changyu Wo expressed his feelings: "people here have no loyalty to the king. Indeed, they don't find a good solution in case of trouble."

Zhou Qian was only dumb. He was a local tourist. He was originally responsible for patrol and arrest. He had more contacts. He was the kind of person who knew the local villagers best in the government.

Lianxiang, next to the hometown, has a large number of people willing to go out of the western regions and go to recruit workers. They are willing to find a way to live in the disaster year through legal means. Nothing has happened in the village.

Even the people in the township are twice as many as those in the original township. On the whole, they are relatively rich. The local rich families unite to help the most difficult group of villagers in the disaster year. The disaster year did not break the villagers' psychological defense line. On the contrary, they are more United than usual.

"Lian Xiang?" Yu Wo happened to know about Lian Xiang. He looked at Zhou Qian with blaming eyes and said, "there are many deficiencies compared with Chen Dan and his colleagues."

Chen Dan and others are demobilized soldiers who retired from the military. They can manage Lianxiang well. Compared with Zhou Qian and others, they have failed to manage their hometown, which proves that there is a gap between people.

Of course, Zhou Qian knows Lianxiang. Several wealthy families there basically have children entering the system. Individual people have more than an official team rate, and one of them has become a military marquis. After those people have made contributions, they have not less fed their hometown. Then, the children in Lianxiang are connected with the interests of the country. It is natural that they will sit on the side of the country.

No one in his hometown has entered the system, but Zhou Qian can't say this. No matter how many reasons, he can't say it. If he has pain, he has to swallow it in his stomach.

"Travel around." Zhang Zhong came over with a bitter look on his face. It's time to thank him or to thank him: "I'm lucky to have you and all the sergeants. Thank you, old man!"

Zhou Qian smiled bitterly and comforted a few words, but he couldn't express more.

"Swim." Zhang you flattered with a full face: "it's hard to travel. If there is no travel, we will try our best to persuade the villagers. I'm afraid something will happen."

"It's you..." Zhang Bian was dragged by his father before he finished saying, "they want to break the house and rob, or even kill. Why don't you let the child say."

"Nothing, nothing!" Zhang has a face of justice and sincerity, but in the face of Zhou Qian and Yu Wo with a sullen look on his face, he defends: "we persuaded the villagers. The villagers have no fierce means, which is our credit."

Zhang Zhong took a stern look at Zhang Bian who wanted to speak and said to Zhou Qian, "the dog is young and his words are a little fierce."

Zhuxia said that the family scandal should not be publicized. Zhang you is the leader today. Even if Zhang you is hateful, Zhang you is Zhang Zhong's uncle. It's far more than just that the family scandal should not be publicized. Even his uncle can do that. Even if Zhang Zhong has nothing to do with Zhang, outsiders won't look at it that way.

The first Han Dynasty made many contributions to Zhuxia, including the persistence and promotion of filial piety, which also made some people feel bitter when they met bastard relatives. Zhang Zhong belongs to this category.

Zhou Qian knew Zhang Zhong's difficulties. The sufferer did not sue the general government, nor did he want to take care of the people's family affairs. However, today's events were too bad. He said to Zhang you and other three people, "you need to make a statement to the government."

Of course, Zhang you and the other three were unwilling, but in the face of the surrounded County soldiers, they had to obey.

"Swim." Zhang Bian seemed to have made some determination and asked, "how to join the army?"

Zhou Qian looked at young Zhang Bian and probably guessed why Zhang Bian suddenly asked.

In the Han Dynasty, one of the ways to become a regular army was to serve in corvee and become a county soldier. As a county soldier, he was recruited into the standing army system with meritorious service or excellent performance; The second is that the country encounters a war and temporarily draws troops from the people.

The war that the Han state is facing now does not need to draw troops from the people, and the only way left is to serve corvee, such as Yu Wo and other county soldiers.

"Zhang Lang is fifteen now?" Zhou Qian looked at Zhang Bian, who was young but tall, called his colleagues and said, "Zhang Lang has this ambition, or he can give priority."

Miser Huang Li nodded and said, "there's still a place."

The state of Han inherited the system of the former Han, and the system of the former Han inherited the Qin system. One of the duties of the miser was to arrange corvee.

Different from the corvee in the Qin Dynasty, the corvee in the early Han Dynasty was divided into military service and labor service. As long as the labor service involved construction, there was money, especially for water conservancy construction, which was a kind of good governance of the Lao Liu family.

There was another feature of the corvee in the early Han Dynasty, that is, it was allowed to pay for others to work on behalf of others, and there was no need for me to serve the corvee, which was also an improvement different from that in the Qin Dynasty.

Today, the corvee in the Han state follows the former Han Dynasty, but generally reduces the share of labor service. In order to facilitate the division of fields, it is more inclined to military service.

Because military service can be divided into fields, becoming a county soldier may also make meritorious service. If you can be elected to the standing army, basically even if you have an iron rice bowl, the standing army will not only receive good treatment, but also have the opportunity to make meritorious service. Even if you retire, you can also be assigned to public office. The people of the Han country basically go to corvee service themselves.

Zhang Bian wanted to perform military service because he saw clearly the dilemma his family would encounter in the village in the future. He didn't know too many things. As long as he knew that he could enter the army, the villagers would not dare to take care of their own family even if he had any ideas. Once he could enter the standing army, the villagers would come to curry favor with him.

Yu Wo thought it was very interesting to watch. He was not surprised that such a young man could figure out the crucial things.

This is the social status quo of the Han Dynasty. Unless you are a fool, no one will refuse to perform military service. Even the county soldiers during the corvee service have many advantages. The distribution of farmland is only a part of it. During the service of county soldiers, they will be taken more care of by the government, and everyone in the countryside will take a high look. Another is that if you can join the standing army, you can change your life. If you make meritorious contributions and win the rank, you can immediately become a winner in your life.

Zhang Bian left home four days later and went to the county to report to become a county soldier. After a month's short training in the county, he was assigned to serve in Xingyang, Xingyang county.

On the March, Zhang Bian saw the scenes of fiery construction and knew that the country was building a national highway across the northwest and south.

"All counties actively participate in the construction. There are public houses for food and drink and wages." Zhang Bian thought that his hometown was another scene, and all kinds of nausea sprang up: "my hometown is another scene."

Twenty six people from lingju are going to serve in Xingyang together. They have their own reasons. There is no lack of people with similar thoughts with Zhang Bian, and most of them come from rich families.

People with common experiences and similar ideals can easily become friends. After Zhang Bian served, he made his best friend from Lianxiang and heard many changes in Lianxiang.

Zhang Qing heard about his hometown and appreciated Zhang Bian's initiative to find a way out.

There are many people surnamed Zhang in the northwest. Generally, the family status of Zhang will be slightly better. That is the former ruler of the northwest is Zhang. In order to ensure the stability of the regime, the separatist regime will basically give preferential treatment to people with the same surname. With preferential treatment, it will naturally get more convenience, which will make some people change their original surnames.

"The son of heaven has long predicted the natural disaster. Except in the northwest, they all believe in it and start self-help early. Only the northwest is bewitched by the remaining evils." Zhang Qing's ass is sitting upright now. It's a standing army soldier in their family. He said bitterly, "the disaster of the remaining evils will poison the villagers and should be killed!"

Don't underestimate that someone in the family is selected as a standing army soldier. It is because the whole family is counted as a military family, it can get more preferential treatment, and its social status is also high. What can best reflect is that those public officials who have retired from the army in the Township immediately regard them as their own people, not to mention the usual kindness, even when things happen, the speed of solution is also different.

Liu Yan's prediction of natural disasters has only recently been widely discussed, but it was reminded a few years ago, but it was not paid attention to at that time.

Recently, the drought predicted by Liu Yan has been mentioned again and again. Compared with no one paid attention to it in the past, the drought in the northwest is indeed an outbreak, so it is hard to believe that the drought will occur in Northern Xinjiang and Central Plains.

Zhuxia's culture belongs to the type of Pan belief, that is, as long as it is a God, it will believe, but it will not be taken seriously immediately because the prayer is not answered. Once one prayer is effective and the next prayer is not effective, it will change from belief to disbelief.

There is only one thing that Zhuxia has maintained continuity, that is, the belief in ancestors and the expectation of the son of heaven. There are too many examples of people becoming gods in Zhuxia. Great gods are basically people who have contributed to the nation, and there are many gods of mountains and rivers in local places. For example, Guankou Erlang God is Li Bing who presided over the construction of Dujiangyan.

In Zhuxia, the emperor was often treated as a God, not only because of the deterrence of power, but also because of the continuous strengthening of rulers in previous dynasties.

The son of heaven is usually a constitutional son of heaven. He will never easily mention anything God talks about, but once he puts it forward carefully, he basically gambles on the stability of his rule.

Zhang Bian and others moved from lingju to the East and stopped when they passed Chang'an. The Chang'an they entered is in a fanatical atmosphere, which is naturally affected.

Thought is a wonderful thing. When you are disgusted, you will scoff at all things you don't want to believe and reject them infinitely, but once you turn around, you will be confident about the things you originally rejected.

"The emperor's grace is wide." Zhang Qing pointed to those people who were working hard and said, "I'm willing to follow them without worry."

Zhang Bian nodded approvingly. He can really see too many examples. People who are willing to go out and find a way out can go to work even if they are not corvee. It's really better than staying in their hometown and waiting for death.

They are from the northwest. When they see too many negative things in their hometown, they are dead. At the same time, any ugliness can break out under the natural disaster. As soon as I go out of the northwest, I see the other side of prosperity. I won't have too complicated ideas. I will subconsciously think that the Northwest has abandoned itself. If people in other places cooperate with national policies, even in disaster years, there are ways to save themselves. I really don't have to start with the villagers.

After a month's March, they arrived in Xingyang and met with people from other places to become a 500 person county and county army.

After a little contact, Zhang Bian obviously found that people from other places excluded themselves who were born in the northwest, and among the others, Zhang Qing could make friends in other regions.

"Because my brother served in the army." Zhang Qing was complacent and more depressed: "only in this way can he be accepted."

If you don't go out of the northwest, Zhang Qingzhen doesn't know what the northwest people look like in the eyes of people in other regions. From some of their remarks, the northwest seems to be a place where people don't obey the king. He just wants to refute, but he doesn't know how to refute. There are really many people in the northwest who miss Zhang's rule. What's more, there have been continuous troubles in the northwest recently.

"We are not alone. People in the Central Plains also discriminate against people in the south." Zhang Bian scratched his head and said, "the division of Han regions is so serious."

There are geographical differences in any dynasty. Generally, the capital despises everyone outside the capital and treats them as countrymen. Then there are martial areas that look down on weak areas, and rich areas look down on poor areas. For example, most areas think that there are only a few examples of Northwest China not being king.

"If it were not for the place where the emperor Longxing was in Shandong, the people of Shandong would never have been seen by Gao." Zhang Qing is telling the truth. Whoever makes Shandong influenced by Lu Confucianism has always been a non resistance strategy. Anyway, whoever hits Shandong is an official and immediately surrenders. He looked around and said in a low voice, "people in Shandong, especially those in Linzi, have a lot of opinions about the emperor's capital Guanzhong."

Linzi is where Liu Yan's first king capital is located. Later, he turned to Xiang state. Finally, he chose to build the capital in Chang'an. If Linzi people have no opinion, there will be ghosts.

"People who view Shandong call themselves gentlemen, but they are villains." Zhang Bian didn't have any good feelings for the people in Linzi who were full of nostrils: "they have no merit, but they think highly of themselves and deceive others."

"Of the meritorious officials of the national Dynasty, six or seven out of ten were born in Shandong." Zhang Qing said the reason: "although the capital changed land, there is still the feeling of incense."

Then they lamented that there was only one Xie AI in the northwest to become a meritorious service. If there were more people like Xie AI, how could the northwest have a more sense of belonging to the Han country, and how could it strive for more favorable policies for the northwest.

"Elder brother has long predicted the son of heaven..." Zhang Bian was stopped by Zhang Qing and smiled.

"I believe it." Zhang Qing stared at Zhang Bian and said seriously, "don't believe it!"

It doesn't matter what other people in the northwest think, but everyone who is rational knows that the ruler has changed. Even if he is grateful, Zhang can only hide in his heart. What he should do is to integrate into the Han country, or he will be isolated from the country.

Don't say it really happened. Even if it didn't happen, the emperor said the truth. The reason why it hasn't happened is that the time hasn't come.

The prime minister's recent big move is to do remedial work, and the effect is very good. After the examples of Northwest China, skeptics will also cooperate with the government to the greatest extent, which is naturally beneficial for the country to deal with the impending natural disaster.
