Chapter 432 Serving as a soldier for the imperial court, and the family has not evaded taxes?
"Youcheng, you said that the security team is not an official, and the people are not the people. Why should we go up to the pole and report our names?" Today is the day when the town inspection department officially announces the members of the security teams in each village. Lu Youcheng and his neighbor Bai Sanwa both
After being selected as a member of the security team, Bai Sanwa was given a red sleeve band and a baton. Looking at such crude equipment, Bai Sanwa couldn't help but complain.
"You can be satisfied if you can be a member of the security team. With our status, don't you still want to be a soldier or an official? If the court were not lenient, we would be beheaded without injustice. Now that the land has been divided, the court supports security
After starting a family, becoming a member of the security team, and receiving two or three buckets of food a year, what else is there to be dissatisfied about?"
"Ordinarily we should be content, but I always feel a little unwilling in my heart. How good was it for us to stay in the construction bureau? I heard that those who stayed in the construction bureau are now married to wives. If not, the court should also
If we are organized as immigrants from the Refugee Resettlement Administration, they can also earn cash in the Resettlement Administration."
"Is there such a thing as having the best of both worlds? Who made us think about quickly allocating some land and getting a share of the family property? By the way, sooner or later the immigrants in the Civil Affairs Bureau will have to allocate land just like us, so there is no need to envy us. We just just
It’s just a little harder at first, but I can build up a family fortune faster than them.”
"I hope so! I heard people say that the Anmin Administration in Liaodong will last longer than the Guan Nei. Some people even say that it will take ten years to slowly turn into subdivisions like the Zhili area. Maybe they will stay on the farm for the rest of their lives.
Well, the treatment is much better than those like us just hanging around in the countryside."
What Bai Sanwa said is a bit exaggerated. They were not scattered randomly in the countryside without anyone taking care of them. The people who were placed in the labor camp in Siwei, Liaonan, were allotted according to the principle of small settlements when the land was divided. Towns in southern Liaoning were
The government has set up dedicated people to pay attention to their subsequent survival, and their land reclamation subsidies, agricultural tool subsidies, and spring planting subsidies will be paid out in a timely manner.
People from labor camps do not exist in southern Liaoning in the form of Anmin farms. The main reason is to allow the people in southern Liaoning to have more diverse forms of existence. Otherwise, except for new immigrants and old households in southern Liaoning, the entire southern Liaoning and the future dualism of eastern Liaoning will
The situation of confrontation is too serious. To resettle some homesteaders is to set up a transition zone between the local people and the farm guests, telling the local people that the farm does not necessarily exist, it is just a transitional institution. In the end, all people are the same
lifestyle.
"Probably not. How can the imperial court keep raising people on farms? But they do have advantages over us. At least they can make a career as soldiers. Unlike us, this generation has no chance to make a big future."
Lu Youcheng, Bai Sanwa and others have had the experience of being thieves. The new recruitment law clearly stipulates that those who have been thieves cannot join the army within five years after they become good citizens. Lu Youcheng and the others are now in their twenties, and they are five years old.
They will all be over 30 years old. Given the current tendency of the military to recruit young people, it will indeed be difficult for them to join the army again in this life.
"Why are you still thinking about finding a future? It's successful. We must first think about how to get a wife. With our conditions, we don't know if we can get a wife! We don't know where the wife comes from, and we are looking for a meager future."
People like Bai Sanwa and others who came out of the labor camp are currently the most difficult group to marry. It is not because they have the experience of being thieves that they are suspected, mainly because they do not have the resources to marry. From entering the labor camp to now, they
They have always lived in a group of all men. In addition, they are different from the men's gangs in the military camp. The men's gangs in the military camp have family members to help them organize their activities! But their families have died long ago and scattered, and they have become a lonely family.
After arriving in Liaonan, this group of people became customers again. Except for the twenty or thirty men in the settlement, they had no one to deal with. Getting married and finding a wife became their biggest worry! Why does Lu Youcheng want to develop?
I thought about getting out of this bachelor group and finding a wife in a normal society.
Marrying a wife and having children is the greatest meaning of life in the minds of every Ming Dynasty people. After filling the stomach, doesn’t life revolve around this? Later generations often say that people mainly do two things, survival and development. Survival is to fill the stomach, but development is not
Marry a wife, have children, and reproduce?
New immigrants from southern Liaoning are thinking about how to get a wife. Wu Jiye, as a veteran from southern Liaoning, doesn't have this worry. He has been making arrangements for his younger son's marriage these days. Originally, the younger son's marriage was going to be done two years ago. As a result
They encountered the Great War in Southern Liaoning, and the chaotic environment made them no longer think about arranging a marriage. This year, Southern Liaoning has been peaceful for a whole year, and it is also time to think about how to live the normal life in the future.
"San'er, you will get married the day after tomorrow. I will let go of being a father. You three brothers have all started a family. It is not easy in this troubled world. It is really difficult to bring you together. In the early years, we still
Under the rule of the imperial court, later the Manchu Tatars came over and oppressed us for more than ten years. Now the clouds have finally risen and the imperial court has regained control of southern Liaoning. I think we can live in peace and stability." People's hearts
It's a matter of change. Wu Jiye's attitude towards the imperial court was not the same last year. In just over a year, he now acts like an obedient citizen of the Ming Dynasty.
The elder of the Wu family took over his father's words and said: "Dada, the court should treat us well. After the Tatars were driven away, our family's grain pegs were full of grain. It was not like when the Tatars were there.
Have you ever saved food? The Tatar leader in the village took all the food he had saved back to his home. Thinking about the days in the past few years, it was not a life that people could live. If it hadn't been for saving some food, the third child would not have even gotten married.
Nothing can be done."
Wu Erlang said: "Yes, when there were Tatars in the past, we lived a life of inferiority to pigs and dogs. Even in such days, you still said that others are good, which is really ignorant. By the way, while we are here,
Everyone is here, let me tell you something. A recruitment notice was posted in the Yamen a few days ago, and I want to sign up to serve in the imperial army."
"Erlang, what nonsense are you talking about? Good times have just begun, why are you trying to be a soldier? Now the court doesn't forcefully recruit soldiers like the Tatars, so what's wrong with you?" Wu Jiye heard that his son was going to be a soldier.
, his tone immediately changed, and he began to scold him.
"Dada, please stop talking nonsense about Lao Hu. Do you think it is so easy for soldiers to get food now? Not only are they strict in selecting people, but they also have high requirements for family background. If your family has evaded taxes, they still don't want it. I just
Go and sign up, whether you can be selected or not is a matter of two opinions. I hope I can be selected. I really don’t want to live a life as bad as a pig or a dog like before. I want to fight for my future and live a good life. If
Let me live as a slave dog to the Tatars like Dada and your generation, and I might as well die."
Go to the imperial court to be a soldier, and your family has not evaded taxes? Aren't you just a thief soldier! Why are you demanding so much? It makes your own son like a man possessed. In order to become a soldier, he actually talks nonsense, Wu Jiye is beaten by his own family
