Running with the ball in the lean years, the evil mother-in-law and the whole family regretted it

Chapter 22 Come back alive and have a job

"Everyone has this heart now. They don't want their relatives, parents, and children to be bullied, and they are willing to rush to the front. It's good. This is the responsibility that men should shoulder."

"But as mentioned above, you have the heart and the courage, but you must also have the ability to hold a broadsword, swing the broadsword to slash the enemy, and dodge the enemy's broadsword. Such a person, no matter what Whether you are 20 years old, 14 years old, or years old, the military camp will accept you, but if you can't swing a knife, then please stay, the family also needs you."

"This time the recruitment age is relaxed and there is no compulsory requirement. It all depends on everyone's own wishes. So don't rush to make a decision right now. When we go back later, we will discuss it together as a family. Once we have discussed it, we will make a decision." If you all support it, then come and sign up.”

Bai Taotao briefly stated the above request in one breath, with a loud voice that everyone could hear clearly. At this time, a villager asked loudly: "If you die on the battlefield, will the pension be paid at the original level or at the upper level?" Did you say one hundred taels for the first time?"

After hearing this, Chen Lizheng stood up and replied: "This point has not been mentioned above for the time being. The main reason is to prevent some people from going to extremes and risking their lives for money, so I did not elaborate on pensions or anything like that. But there is one thing. If this battle If you win the battle, those of you who can come back alive will have the opportunity to work as errands in the local county government. Those who don't work as errands in the county government can have another choice, either stay in the military camp and continue to work hard, or take the money to go home and continue farming."

Bai Taotao on the side looked surprised when he heard this! ! !
If she remembered correctly, she didn't seem to have mentioned this method to the county magistrate at that time? I didn’t expect that the above would take this into consideration.

It seems that the above are still working hard to do a good job.

I should have encountered great wisdom last time.

"If we choose to go home and farm, how much money will the higher-ups give us?" Another villager asked loudly.

In fact, this is what everyone is most concerned about.

Chen Lizheng did not speak after hearing this. He just raised his hand and showed one finger, and then three fingers.

"How much is this?" The villagers were a little confused.

Chen Lizheng: "It ranges from one hundred taels to three hundred taels. If it is for meritorious service, it will be counted separately."

As soon as these words came out, the scene was instantly in an uproar.

"so much!!!"

"One hundred taels to three hundred taels. We will never be able to save so much money in our farming life. Isn't it possible that the higher-ups are trying to trick us? We only gave up our lives on the battlefield for only fifty taels, how can we still give so much when we come back?" "

"That shouldn't be enough to deceive the people of the entire Northern Kingdom. Even if the other country is beaten away, what's the use of losing the people's support?"

"That's right. This time it's not just for our village, but for the entire Northern Kingdom. So it must be true. Coming back alive will cost you more money than losing your life, so you have to fight to the death to survive no matter what."

"It's not easy to survive. Just try to stay behind when the fight starts."

"Then it would be better to hide and wait until the fight is over before coming out. Wouldn't it be safer?"

Snapped!
Snapped!
There was a sound of two slaps on the back of the head. The one who struck was Zheng Langzhong, and the one who was hit was the two fellow villagers who were discussing how to survive. "You two are disgraceful. You are discussing how to become deserters before you even go to the battlefield. If you all have the same idea as you, the border will be lost sooner or later. Once the border is lost, do you still want money? You can't even save your life." Silver! The reason why the higher-ups want you to come back alive is to hope that you will fight hard on the battlefield and kill all the enemies, letting them know that we in the North are not easy to bully. Only by making them afraid can we live a peaceful life in the future. For cowards like you, even the gates here are guarded."

"Also, do you think the people above are all fools? What can you think of that? You still want to hide and wait for the victory to come back to collect the reward! You have to come back before talking."

"Today, I will put it this way. As for the soldiers who walked out of Shihe Village, if you came back as a deserter, or if you were beheaded on the spot as a deserter, if anyone in your family has a headache in the future, don't come here. I."

Even though Dr. Zheng is over fifty years old, he is really aggressive when he gets angry, and his strength is not inferior to that of young people.
The two villagers who were beaten happened to be members of the Zheng family. After this slap, they were all dizzy for a long time, and their ears were buzzing.

However, they all heard what Mr. Zheng said. Seeing that the clan leader was angry, the two of them had no choice but to remain silent and endure the beating.

At this time, Li Zheng, who was standing at the front, also said loudly with a serious face: "Don't think about being a smart deserter and receiving rewards. Don't forget that a family in the next county was executed because their son was a deserter. In the end, his family couldn't stand being insulted and ridiculed, and then the whole family burned themselves clean. And the entire family was implicated by him and could only live in other places where no one knew them. But even if no one insults them anymore, their entire family will not be able to pursue an official career from now on, and the mark of running away will be on them for the rest of their lives."

"So, don't even think about being a deserter. If you come back as a deserter, and the superiors don't execute you, then you won't be able to stay in Shihe Village." The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and the seriousness in his tone made him All the villagers fell silent.

(PS: A deserter from the Northern Kingdom will have the word "Fleet" branded on the back of the entire family. The country will not recognize such a person who pursues an official career.)
I'm afraid no one in the village didn't know about the family that Li Zheng was talking about just now. Except for the following incident, no one mentioned it. The younger generation may not be very clear about it.

Now that Satoshi said this, those things appeared in everyone's minds again.

What happened in the next county feels like it happened yesterday. It is still vivid in my mind. The fire burned for three days and three nights until everything was reduced to ashes before the fire went out on its own.

At that time, some villagers were curious and ran to see it. The entire house, including the family, was burned to the ground.

The scene cannot be described in one word: miserable.

Think about their original determination to seek death, think about the scene where they were insulted and beaten like rats crossing the street wherever they went, how many people have been ruined by this one deserter.

Therefore, if you have the opportunity to go to the battlefield, you would rather die fighting with the enemy than become a deserter.

After explaining the new rules of conscription to the villagers clearly, all that is left is for the villagers to discuss it individually. Those who are willing to go need to go to each village to register first, and then go to the county government for screening. The selected ones will be selected soon. Sent to the border.

After the meeting ended, Bai Taotao went home to catch up on her sleep.

There are so many people who feel pregnant, especially since the physical constitution of this body is very different from that of her previous life, so sleepiness feels like not getting enough sleep.

She obviously slept very well in the ruined temple yesterday. She was too sleepy to open her eyes at noon just now, but because the aunt and the others were still working, she didn't sleep, so she naturally had to catch up on her sleep quickly.

Later I have to go out to make money.
