Chen Yunzhao had already planned it. This military exemption was prepared for Chen Zhongqian. Even though he was obviously much stronger now, he was still not suitable for the battlefield.
"You must accept it, otherwise you will never come to see me again, and I will no longer take the medicinal diet you prepared for me."
Chen Yunzhao was very serious, "Zhong Qian is the only child of Mr. and Mrs. Hongsheng. Nothing can happen to him. If I let him go into battle to kill the enemy, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on before he gets there. Then how can I have the shame to go underground?"
Meet my big brother?"
Lin Joy still refused, "Grandpa, my cousin, and my two sisters-in-law are also pregnant. No matter who goes, there will always be someone to worry about. If we accept this, how can we face them in the future?"
"I know the character of my children. Even if I take out this military exemption sticker, they will give it to Zhong Qian, so you just accept it."
Lin Joy still refused, so Chen Yunzhao said, "I will tell you something about Zhong Qian, and you must swear not to tell anyone unless it is absolutely necessary."
Lin Joy was stunned for a moment. She didn't want to know the secret, but Chen Yunzhao was already talking about it. She was indeed curious, so she listened carefully.
After hearing this, I couldn't get back to my senses for a long time, "Zhong Qian, he..."
Chen Yunzhao nodded, "Yes, so you have to accept this. I don't want Zhong Yuan and Zhong Wen to go, but Zhong Qian can't go. I will make it clear to my family and they will understand."
Lin Joy had no choice but to accept it now. She still didn't come to her senses. Chen Yunzhao ordered, "Don't tell anyone unless you have to."
"Yes, I remember."
She went out of the room. Chen Zhongqian was talking to Chen Zhongyuan. Seeing that she was distracted, he quickly took her hand and said, "What's wrong? But what's wrong with Grandpa?"
Lin Xixi shook his head, "No, I'm thinking about how to adjust my grandfather's medication."
In the evening, everyone ate mooncakes together before returning home. If there was to be a military recruitment, this reunion would be even more important, so it was inevitable to feel a little sad.
When they went back, the two children fell asleep again. Chen Zhongqian and Lin Yuxi each carried one on their backs. When they got home, they put them back in their houses. After a brief scrubbing and tucking them into bed, the couple returned to their own houses.
Chen Zhongqian said, "What did Grandpa tell you?"
"No." Lin Yuxi wanted to fool him, but he was so perceptive, so he had to say, "Grandpa, I only care about you."
She couldn't hide the military exemption post, and she didn't want to hide it, so she took it out directly. As for the other thing, she didn't say anything more.
"I don't want to accept it at all, but my great-grandfather won't let me treat him, so I have to take this back first. I don't know if there will be conscription, so this matter is not settled."
Chen Zhongqian really didn't expect that Chen Yunzhao still had this thing, and gave it to him, "I can't have this."
"I know."
Lin Hexi smiled slightly and said, "Go to bed early. Don't cause yourself more troubles now."
On August 15th, the weather was getting a little cold. Lin Yuxi hugged Chen Zhongqian tightly as soon as she got into bed. She had almost no secrets from him, but now she wanted to hide one thing.
Chen Zhongqian reached out and touched her waist. Lin Yuxi leaned over and kissed his cheek, "It seems you don't want to sleep."
Lin Hexi smiled and said, "I'm not sleepy."
Then I felt my belt loosen up and my waist felt warm, and I guessed it would be some time before I could sleep.
The news of the conscription was widely spread. About ten days later, there was official news in the town that there was going to be a conscription.
If there are two or more males in the family, one of them needs to serve as a soldier to support the front line. The age range is from six to fifty years old.
It's not unusual for two boys to have one child, but this age range is really surprising. Six years old. What can a six-year-old child do?
The imperial court did not want six-year-old children to go to the battlefield, but wanted to recruit as many soldiers as possible. If there were a family of three and the children were still young, the young head of the family would have to enlist in the army.
After seeing it, Chen Zhongqian knew something in his mind. Their family just matched it. Xiaoyu was already six years old, so he should be enlisting in the army.
After reading the news, few people were happy. Most people in the academy met the recruitment requirements. If they didn't want to be a soldier, they would have to enlist their elderly father.
If I go there by myself, what will happen to the scientific examination? I will take the scientific examination next year.
No matter which choice I choose, it's not suitable and I'm in a dilemma.
There is another way, which is to pay money to avoid the army. After fighting for so many years, we also need to increase military pay, but the price is very expensive.
In the past, a person only paid 20 taels, but this time the price was offered at 300 taels. For 90% of the young people, it is impossible to take this path. Only those wealthy families can spend money to retain people.
This time, with the recruitment of troops, there are people and money, and the front line will probably be able to regain blood, but it will only drain the blood of the common people.
Yue Ye said, "According to the requirements, I should also join the army."
It is impossible that the Yue family cannot afford three hundred taels of silver, but Yue is not sure what his father thinks. He may think that his son should serve as a soldier and gain some experience.
Chen Zhongqian nodded, "Me too."
Yue Ye immediately became anxious, "Zhong Qian, you can't go. You are not in good health, so you can't go."
Everyone was worried about his health. Of course Chen Zhongqian knew that everyone was doing it for his own good, but he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. As a man, he couldn't even protect his family and country.
Chen Zhongqian glanced at him and said, "You don't seem to be any better than me."
Yue Ye has been petite since he was a child. Although Dean Yue is not the kind of doting father and is very strict with him, he has never done any physical work.
If he really went to fight, he might not be as good as Chen Zhongqian.
"Zhong Qian, how can you look down on me so much? I am very strong."
Chen Zhongqian couldn't help but roll his eyes and didn't know where the confidence came from.
Seeing Chen Zhongda beside him, he went over and said, "What are your plans?"
Either he goes, or Chen Hongchang goes.
Chen Zhongda, like other students, had a hard time making a choice, "Brother, I want to take the scientific examination, but as a son, how can I let my father fight and enjoy the happiness at home?"
As for the three hundred taels of silver, there is no need to think about it, it will definitely not be available.
Chen Zhongqian patted him on the shoulder twice and said nothing, because he knew that this matter would never go away and Wu would have to make plans for them again.
Among their classmates who were close to each other on weekdays, only Liu Zhaofei did not meet the requirements.
He is the only male in his family who is married, but he does not have a son yet, and even if he did, he would not be six years old now.
Liu Zhaofei breathed a sigh of relief. If he enlisted in the army and fought, what would happen to his family? It was okay, okay.
