My life skills in Daming Liver

Chapter 7 Military Status
Su Ze looked at Ninth Aunt, and couldn't help but asked again: "Wait, everyone knows that I am a child of Mazu, how can I be a temple blessing in the temple of the third master?"

Ninth Aunt smiled slightly and said:
"Mazu is not an adulterous priest, and there are people in Changning Guard who believe it. Before going out to sea, everyone asks the temple to pray for blessings, just for peace of mind. As long as it works, whether it is the blessing of the third master or the mother of Mazu, it is also up to you. No one cares."

Ninth Auntie untied the rope that bound Su Ze's hands, looked at Su Ze and said, "If you want to worship Mazu, it's not impossible to set up a statue of Mazu in the side hall."

Su Ze was a little speechless, but his attitude towards faith was indeed Chinese.

However, Nine Aunt's attitude further confirms Su Ze's conclusion of researching historical materials. In these guards along the southeast coast, family temples are very important clan facilities, not simple temples.

From the yellow and emaciated people in the guard to this dilapidated family temple, we can see the dilapidation and decline of Changning Guard.

It's no wonder that Ninth Aunt wants to let someone of unknown origin be the temple blessing, because there is no one in Changningwei who can use it.

Aunt Nine said:
"Hundreds of households died in the battle, and a lot of household registrations happened to be vacated."

"Beiwa's chief executive has not come down to recruit soldiers, you just need to get the household registration of a family, and you can be naturalized in the guard."

Su Ze immediately understood what Aunt Jiu meant.

After the severe disaster in the Southeast China Sea, Emperor Jiajing set up a general office in the southeast to be responsible for the anti-Japanese affairs in various places.

Now the superiors have not had time to replenish their military registration in Changningwei, which gives Su Ze a chance to be naturalized. As long as he pretends to be a child of a certain family before Beiwo sends down the chief officer, he can get a clean identity of.

As a graduate student of history, Su Ze naturally knows the importance of household registration, which is the sincerity shown by Aunt Jiu.

Ninth Aunt continued:
"This time the soldiers have suffered heavy losses. The members of the guards who are members of the army have to recruit soldiers. If you are naturalized, you will definitely be dragged to the guards. You don't want to come here, do you?"

Su Ze nodded again and again. The Ming Dynasty allowed military households to participate in the imperial examination, but not soldiers.

To put it simply, as long as someone in the family is a soldier, this household will be classified as military registration, and all males in the military registration are candidates for soldiers.

The military registration system established by Emperor Hongwu is to ensure the integrity of the army.

But not all men in the army are soldiers.

For example, Zhang Juzheng's family is a military member, but someone from Zhang Juzheng's family served as a soldier in the guard, fulfilling the obligations required by military registration.

Therefore, Zhang Juzheng was able to take the imperial examination through Wei Xue, and was admitted to the Imperial Academy all the way.

But this premise is that Zhang Juzheng is not a soldier of the guard. If he is filled into the army, he will naturally not be able to participate in the imperial examination.

Su Ze naturally didn't want to be a soldier in Daming Guard for the rest of his life. Although soldiers in Daming also had promotion channels for military officers, the Ming Dynasty still valued literature over military affairs. After the Tumu Fort, the status of military officers dropped sharply. I want to take the imperial examination.

Ninth Aunt said: "My family's household registration is a military registration. This time, it will definitely not be my family's turn to recruit soldiers. It happens that my nephew died in battle. Would you like to join my household registration?"

Su Ze's eyes lit up. It seemed that this Ninth Aunt sincerely wanted to reciprocate with him and did not dig a hole to hurt him.

The Daming Weisuo system has also developed for a hundred years, and the military households in Changning Weizhong are also divided into two types of military status.

Regular military registration refers to those who have immediate family members who serve as soldiers. If the main soldiers cannot serve, they must send someone to serve in the military.

The military registration of the nine aunt's family is the in-laws and offshoots of military households, which is a household registration between military registration and agricultural registration.

Only when all the male members of the regular military households connected to the nine aunt's house died, the higher-ups would recruit the full-time soldiers from the posted military registration, that is, the alternate soldiers of the alternate soldiers.

Su Ze immediately saluted Ninth Aunt and said, "Auntie."

Ninth Aunt helped Su Ze up and said, "My old lady's maiden name is Lin, and now there is only one nephew in the household registration. You have given his household registration, and you will call him my nephew in the guard from now on."

Su Ze nodded quickly, and Ninth Aunt said again: "If you get married and start a business in the future, and you can still remember the love of the old lady, let your descendants offer some incense to the Lin family when they sacrifice to their ancestors, how about it?"

Since ancient times, Huaxia has attached great importance to offering incense to ancestors. Su Ze quickly said: "Don't worry, Auntie, I will never forget the incense of the Lin family!"

Ninth Aunt smiled and said, "Then it's settled. There is a wing next to the family temple, which is where my nephew used to live. The old lady has cleaned up, and you can live in it directly."

"How about you watching by my side these few days and learning the crafts in the temple?"

Su Ze quickly nodded and agreed, Jiu Aunt said with satisfaction:
"I will tell Baihu about your identity. You stay in the temple first. After Wei Li settles down in a few days, I will take you to meet Lord Baihu."

In this way, Su Ze lived in Changningwei's family temple.

Although Su Ze was very curious about the Daming Hua Mulan who disguised himself as a man on the Changningwei genealogy, but he was new here, and he didn't want to be treated as a spy by the villagers of the Weisuo, so he stayed honestly in the family temple these days.

It took only two days for Aunt Jiu to complete the registration of Su Ze's household registration. Now that he replaced Aunt Jiu's nephew who died in battle, he finally has an official status in Daming.

Another day later, Ninth Aunt brought back a smaller radish head. This child was thin and small, with withered and yellow hair. It looked like he had been malnourished since he was a child.

Seeing that the child was shorter than the little radish before, Su Ze couldn't help asking:
"Auntie, is this the disciple you are looking for?"

Su Ze is a physical time traveler. He is a generation who grew up in the era of economic boom. Although his family background is average, he was well-nourished when he was a child.

With a height of 1.8 meters, he stands out from the crowd in the entire guard.

Little Luobotou hid behind Aunt Jiu in fright when she saw Su Ze.

Ninth Aunt pulled her and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, this is my nephew and your elder brother."

Little Luobotou then stood up from behind Ninth Aunt and looked Su Ze up and down curiously.

Ninth Aunt said: "Cai Niang, you will live here from now on, follow me to learn the skills in the temple."

Bridesmaid?This little carrot head is a girl?
Su Ze looked carefully, only to find that Cai Niang was still pretty, and the reason why she didn't recognize her was because her upside-down braid was the same as that of a radish, which made Su Ze mistake her for a boy.

Looking at the hairstyle of the little radish head, Su Ze couldn't help asking:

"Auntie, this child hasn't grown up yet, has he?"

Ninth Auntie sighed and said: "This child is already fifteen years old. She has no mother since she was a child, and her father died in battle with ordinary households. No one will give her a wedding ceremony."

"Cai Niang, you can live in the back room with me, and you can do morning class with me tomorrow."

The little radish nodded obediently. Seeing this thin girl, Su Ze felt once again how hard it is for the people of Ming Dynasty.
