The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 280 Quota! (seeking subscription)
Standing at the door of his house, Wei Wu looked at his big green brick house with a heartfelt smile on his face.

Boom boom boom!
Wei Wu stood at the door and gently knocked on the door.

A crisp female voice came from the courtyard.

"Who is it? Come here!"

Not long after, the gate of the courtyard was opened, and there stood a delicate young girl in the courtyard.

The moment the girl saw Wei Wu, her eyes turned red.

"Third Brother!"

"The third brother is back!"

"..."

Following the girl turned around and ran back to the yard.

Not long after, the Wei family members all ran out and rushed to the door.

He greeted the heroic Wei Wu in military uniform!

The whole family sat together and asked Wei Wu about everything.

Wei Wu just grinned foolishly, like a silly boy, not at all like the irritable old man he was when he was in the army.

"My son, is it hard to be in the army!"

Wei Wu's mother wiped her tears and asked softly.

With Wei Wu's joining the army, the life of the Wei family improved visibly with the naked eye.

I have received Wei Wu's military merit fields from the army several times, which add up to more than 100 mu.

Now the Wei family is no longer the original Wei family.

The land of more than 100 mu is good land that can be cultivated three times a year. The Wei family can already be regarded as a small landlord with a well-off family.

And these all come from Wei Wu's military exploits!
Wei Wu's mother thought, how many life-and-death crises her son would have to go through for his son to make so many military exploits, how many times he would have to survive the near-death!
When she thought that her son might die on the battlefield countless times, she couldn't help but feel heartbroken!
Wei Wu scratched his head with a foolish smile and said.

"It's okay mother, it's not bitter!"

"There is food and drink in the army, and you can eat meat every three days. It's nothing more than hard training, so it's okay."

Wei Wu's father asked from the side.

"Is it dangerous on the battlefield? Are the Tartars fierce?"

Wei Wu chuckled and spoke.

"Not dangerous!"

"Every time we fight, our Daming side has at least dozens of cannons to help out."

"We all waited for the Tartars to be crushed by the artillery before launching a charge!"

"No matter how fierce the Tartars are, they can't hold the artillery, can they?!"

Wei Wu is still very confident in the artillery power of the Restoration Army, and the roar on the battlefield is constant.

The sound of the cannon that almost covered everything up really boosted the morale of the army too much.

No matter how dangerous the battlefield is, no matter how close to death, Wei Wu will not tell his family members about the danger and make them worry about him.

After dinner, the family sat in the yard to enjoy the cool air.

Wei Wu took off his shirt as if showing off, revealing all his tendons, and got into a mess with his younger brothers and sisters.

Looking at the criss-crossing scars on Wei Wu's body, his parents couldn't help crying, especially the one-foot-long knife mark on his chest.

I can't imagine how serious the injury was!

Wei Wu played around with his younger siblings for a while, then sat back beside his parents, quietly watching them having fun.

Suddenly, Wei Wu spoke.

"Father, according to the regulations, the military achievements I have made have a chance to send my family's children to enroll in the Military Academy and receive education."

"Look, it's more suitable for younger siblings to study!"

Wei Wu's father knocked on the pipe and pot, and said.

"Didn't it mean that only immediate family members of soldiers can attend the Military Academy?"

"The eldest son of the old Wang family in the east of the village died on the battlefield. The court gave the Wang family a chance to send the child to the academy for free."

"Old Wang wanted to send his youngest son there, but was rejected by the Military Academy, saying that he must be a direct relative of the military."

"The quota is forcibly given to the old Wangtou's eldest granddaughter, but it will take two years until the old Wangtou's eldest granddaughter grows up before she can enter the school."

"It's really a waste of this quota. A girl doll will marry off sooner or later. What kind of book should I read?"

"A woman who has no talent is a virtue. If she has the time to study, she can work in a textile factory and subsidize her family."

"Can you let your younger siblings go?"

Reading is a good thing!

The cost of education is not affordable for ordinary people, especially for systematic education.

Even if you don't talk about books, repairs, and the cost of pen and ink!

For those who are educated, they have to spend several years off-duty to study, which is not something ordinary families can afford.

At least it has to be a small landlord family!

Now the military government provides opportunities for free and systematic education for disabled, killed, and families of soldiers with outstanding military achievements.

For soldiers and military families, it is really a great thing!

Wei Wu scratched his head and said.

"It's not that I'm not married yet, and I don't have a child!"

"I'll make a report to the higher-ups later, sign a written document, and let my brothers and sisters go!"

"When I have a son, let's talk about having a son!"

Wei Wu's father nodded, and then spoke.

"In that case, let your brother go!"

Wei Wu's father is still somewhat patriarchal.

However, in this era, patriarchy is normal, and Wei Wu did not object.

On the other hand, Wei Wu's mother asked.

"San'er, have you taken a fancy to any girl? You are not young at this age, and it's time to get married."

Wei Wu shook his head and said.

"Mom, I'm not in a hurry to get married!"

"I still want to continue working hard in the army while I am young!"

"I'm married now, in case something happens on the battlefield in the future, won't it drag other girls to become widows?"

Wei Wu saw the vastness of the world outside.

He doesn't want to spend his whole life circling in the land, he wants to climb up to see the scenery from high places.

He knew that he was not good at studying, and he was very good at literacy in the army and could keep up with the progress.

However, now that Ming Dynasty is at war, the fastest way to climb up is not to study and become an official, but to serve as a soldier and fight for his life on the battlefield!
Therefore, Wei Wu has no intention of getting married now.

No matter how Wei Wu's parents tried to persuade him, Wei Wu didn't change his mind, and his attitude was very firm!
……

Li's mansion!

The Li family moved from Batavia to Luzon as a whole the year before last, and rebuilt the ancestral house and ancestral hall in Luzon.

The various industries of the Li family also began to migrate to Luzon.

"Zhong Ni said: The gentleman is mean, the villain is against the mean, the gentleman is mean, the gentleman is moderate; the villain is mean, the villain is not afraid."

Mr. Li recited the chapters in "The Doctrine of the Mean" emotionally.

Shaking his head, very devoted!
In front of him, the little grandson followed along with a vague understanding.

After the little grandson read it several times, the old man of the Li family began to explain the meaning of this sentence to his grandson.

"A gentleman with moral cultivation, their speech and behavior can conform to the principle of the mean."

"Little people without moral cultivation, their words and actions tend to violate the principles of the mean."

"The reason why a gentleman's words and deeds can conform to the golden mean is because they can always maintain the best situation that is appropriate and appropriate according to the environment they are in."

Seeing his grandson's confused expression, the old man of the Li family didn't take it seriously.

The content of "The Doctrine of the Mean" is very profound, it's not what my grandson should learn at his age!
The reason why I talked about the mean with my grandson was just to let my grandson get familiar with it first.

At his grandson's current age, it is only serious to read the Analects first!
