The boss's wife has long wanted to kick them out of the house.
However, the boss Wu Zhong has always refused due to brotherly feelings.
"We are all biological brothers. It is too much for the eldest daughter-in-law to do this!"
Wu Yi said angrily.
"Biological brother?"
Wu Shan sneered when he heard this.
"So what if we are biological brothers? Now the boss is a soldier. He has errands, property, and the opportunity to be rewarded for his meritorious service in the future."
"What we brothers have, we can only send our names here to avoid paying taxes for two quarters of the year."
Brothers Wu Yi and Wu Shan are called auxiliary soldiers in this family.
However, they neither wanted to farm cattle or horses, nor did they want to associate with the servants at home.
It's almost like free rice.
Naturally, he was not welcomed by the eldest daughter-in-law.
"Hey, we brothers have to find a way out!"
Wu Yi sighed and said.
"Whatever way out, this way has already been given to the boss."
Wu Shan said depressedly.
"Our brothers are also skilled in martial arts, not much worse than the boss. It's just that we lack the reputation of a soldier. As long as there is a way, why can't we get a reputation?!" Wu Yi said, patting his chest.
"In this day and age, is there any good way out?"
Wu Shan sighed and then continued.
"If you want to get ahead, you can either go to school and take the imperial examination, then become an official and become a big official, or you can become a soldier and lead the army."
"But we two brothers are not at all capable of studying, so we can't rely on the scholarship department."
"If you want to be a soldier, there are already 300,000 soldiers in the world. It's hard to be a soldier even if you squeeze your head out."
When Wu Yi heard this, he felt sad in his heart.
Today's Han army soldiers are not the same as before.
Ten years ago, as long as you joined the army empty-handed, you would basically be a soldier with at least two hundred acres of land.
However, in the past two days, the number of military soldiers in the world has almost been reached.
If an ordinary person wants to become a soldier, it will be very difficult.
There is no need to take the academic examination. It is easy.
"Whatever, it's a big deal. We brothers are here drinking and eating meat every day. Anyway, what we eat and drink is the boss's family wealth. He doesn't feel bad, and we are not worried!"
Wu Shan said.
However, this kind of life is not a long-term solution.
The days of living under someone else's roof will probably become increasingly difficult.
The two brothers just sat across from each other in the room drinking.
I drank until the sun was past noon and I was about to look for lunch before I gave up.
At this time, four large wine jars were already empty on the ground.
"Erlang, Sanlang, are you in the house?"
Just as the two were in a daze, a soft female voice came over.
The sound came from outside.
"who?"
Wu Shanmi stood up with wide eyes and walked out of the room.
I saw an eighteen or nineteen-year-old woman standing outside the door.
Although this woman is not a beautiful woman, she becomes more and more attractive the more you look at her.
Especially the plump upper body and twisted waist made Wu Shan take one look at it, and his heart was beating wildly.
"Hey, Yueniang, why do you come to see us?"
Wu Shan asked with a smile.
A pair of eyes couldn't help but look at the woman's figure.
When Yueniang saw this, there was a look of disgust on her face.
She took half a step back, avoiding Wu Shan's naked gaze.
"The master of the house is back and wants you two to meet him."
"The boss is back?" Wu Shan was surprised upon hearing this.
In the past, military gatherings only lasted at least a day or two.
Why did you come back in less than a day?
Could it be?
Could it be that he knew that he peeped at Yueniang's bath the day before yesterday?
This month's mother is not the eldest daughter-in-law, not even a named concubine.
It's just a Lu Shuihu female slave bought for ten thousand dollars.
Wu Shan had long coveted her, but the boss Wu Zhongxin was very narrow-minded and refused to give it to him.
"Okay, Yueniang, go back and tell the boss, we will be there right away."
Wu Shan put away his lustful thoughts and hurried back to the house to pull his second brother Wu Yi, who was still confused, up.
"Second brother, get up quickly, the boss is back."
"I heard it, why is he back so early?" Wu Yi muttered.
After the boss Wu Zhong came back, he became afraid.
I can no longer go to the kitchen and demand food or drink arbitrarily.
Wu Yi and Wu Shan came to the front yard quickly.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw the boss Wu Zhongzheng waiting with a smile on his face.
Wu Yi and Wu Shan both looked at each other, murmuring in their hearts.
Since the eldest son inherited the family business, there have been very few smiling faces towards the two younger brothers who were living their lives.
what is it today?
Wu Shan felt guilty for a while, fearing that his boss would impose strict family rules.
Because they were all auxiliary soldiers of the army, they enjoyed the privilege of being exempted from corvee and taxes.
But it is also subject to the leadership and restraint of regular soldiers.
In a popular sense, the Han army soldiers are military lords, large and small, who have the power to control their auxiliary soldiers.
Although they cannot be killed or killed arbitrarily, the fate of the auxiliary soldiers is determined by reports from the state and county military offices every year.
Once you are deprived of your status as an auxiliary soldier, you will become a farmer cultivating wasteland.
The life of a banker with a simple life is not what Brother Wu Shan likes.
At the very least.
Brothers Wu Yi and Wu Shan were used to playing with swords, guns, bows and arrows, but they didn't like hoes at all.
"Brother, why are you back so early today?"
Wu Shan asked with an awkward smile.
The boss Wu Zhong also smiled, as naturally as the spring breeze blowing on his face.
However, Brother Wu Shan felt even more furious.
"Second brother, third brother, I came back so early today because of you!" said the boss Wu Zhong.
When Wu Shan heard this, he almost ran under the mat in fright.
It’s broken, it’s broken!
Wu Shan couldn't help but think that someone must have exposed him for peeping at Yueniang. Otherwise, he would have been exposed for stealing the cowhide in the warehouse.
Anyway, no matter what the matter is, today is bound to be scolded by the boss.
Wu Shan couldn't help but feel flustered, and his second brother Wu Yi next to him was not much better.
The second child, Wu Yi, also looked extremely ugly.
You can tell at a glance that he must have done a lot of bad things.
The boss, Wu Zhong, who was sitting in the front seat, had a panoramic view of the expressions of the two brothers.
Wu Zhong couldn't help but couldn't help crying or laughing.
These two younger brothers are both naughty and rogue.
Especially after they inherited their father's status as a military soldier, both of them gradually became more and more resentful.
"Brother, I don't know what this means?" Wu Shan summoned up the courage to ask.
The eldest brother Wu Zhong said with a smile again.
"In the past two years, you two have worked hard in this family. It can be said that you have both merit and hard work."
When Wu Yi and Wu Shan heard this, their buttocks immediately felt itchy.
They could no longer tell whether the boss was sarcastic about themselves or whether he meant it sincerely.
"Brother, don't say that, don't do your best for yourself, isn't that what you should do?!" Wu Shan said pretending to be generous.
When Wu Zhong saw this, he was not angry at all.
"Yes, yes, you should give it to your own family."
"However, both of you are very capable. It's a pity that there is no way to join the imperial army. It is really unfair to be an auxiliary soldier here."
"Brother, what do you mean by this?" Wu Shan's face fell.
"Boss, are you trying to ask the military government to remove us from our status as auxiliary soldiers?" Wu Yi looked unhappy.
When Wu Zhong heard this, he shook his hand.
"Where have you two been thinking about this?"
"How could I ask the military government to remove you two from your status? In that case, wouldn't it mean that you would be driven away by taxes and corvee every day?"
Although the world is peaceful now, the lives of ordinary people have never been easy.
It's either taxes twice a year, corvée for dozens of days, or other miscellaneous labor.
This situation is the result of the emperor's "recuperation" in recent years.
You can imagine how miserable the common people are compared with the life of the soldiers.
"Then what do you mean?" Wu Yi asked with a frown.
"Haha, of course it's a good thing."
Wu Zhong then told what happened today.
"You don't know yet."
"Your Majesty has issued an edict, asking Lieutenant General Huan Wen to protect the south, to set up the Twelve Army in Chengdu, and recruit strong men from Sizhou, Yuzhou, and Jizhou as soldiers. The imperial court will grant them a salary and salary, and all the armaments will be allocated by the imperial court."
"Future military merit lords will all be the same as military officers."
Hearing this, Wu Yi and Wu Shan were both surprised and happy.
I was shocked, why would we recruit troops for such a good thing? Shouldn't it be crowded with people long ago? It's almost overcrowded?
The happy thing is naturally that with this way, my martial arts can have a way out.
"Brother, where will these twelve army recruits be stationed?" Wu Yi asked.
"Haha, they are all in Chengdu. If there is a war in the future, they will be relocated according to military orders." Wu Zhong said.
Wu Yi and Wu Shan looked happy again when they heard this.
After the two looked at each other, they continued to ask.
"Great, Chengdu is a prosperous place. If you work there, you can make a lot of money." Wu Yi said eagerly.
"Yes, the job fields around the imperial capital are very beautiful when you think about it." Wu Shan also said.
"Ahem, you two may have misunderstood." Wu Zhong cleared his throat in embarrassment.
"Worse?"
"What's the mistake?"
Wu Yi and Wu Shan were both stunned.
"The recruits for the Twelve Army in Chengdu are all given salary, status and military staff, but there is no job field." Wu Zhong said.
"No job?"
"How is it possible that there is no job field?"
Wu Yi and Wu Shan both refused to believe it.
"Well, you two don't even think about it. The fertile land in these states and counties has been divided up long ago, and the remaining wasteland is difficult to cultivate."
"Besides, the area around Chengdu is such a good place, how can it be possible that there are still acres of land to be divided into fields."
"The recruits for these twelve armies are all given generous salaries. In fact, there is no need for career differences."
Wu Zhong's words finally made them feel better.
"Brother, how much is the salary for the Twelve Army recruits in Chengdu?" Wu Yi asked.
"Thirty yuan!" Wu Zhong held out three fingers and said.
However, these words made his two younger brothers look confused.
"What? Thirty dollars?"
"What's round and square?"
Wu Yi and Wu Shan were both full of doubts.
"Thirty silver dollars, that is, thirty silver coins."
After Wu Zhong said that, he took out a money bag from his arms.
Wow!
With a soft sound, he poured out all the money in the bag.
I saw a pile of white and round silver coins rolling out.
"See, this is the silver dollar."
Wu Zhong raised a silver dollar and said.
"His Majesty sent people to discover mountains of gold and silver in Haidong. In the future, the world's commercial coins will gradually be replaced by this silver coin."
"Oh, it's also called a silver dollar."
"One is one yuan, and the recruitment in Chengdu is thirty silver yuan a month, which is equivalent to tens of thousands of dollars."
"If we sum it up, two hundred acres of Susukita would be much better."
"Besides, I don't have to worry about the harvest of my farm. I can always get thirty silver coins every month. Isn't it wonderful?"
"What's so great about this job? Not only do you have to manage planting and harvesting, but you also have to protect yourself from insects and rats, and you also have to protect your home from predators and thieves..."
When Wu Zhong said this, he suddenly felt a little bald and quickly closed his mouth.
"This is the silver dollar!"
"Sure enough, this silver coin is more comfortable to hold in your hand than copper coins!"
Wu Yi and Wu Shan grabbed a handful of silver coins one after another.
When they were in a gambling stall in the city, they once heard someone mention that His Majesty had issued money.
Unexpectedly, not long after this, I actually caught it in my hand.
"Hahaha, as long as you two like it, go back and tidy up today. You can go to Chengdu with others in two days." Wu Zhong said with a smile.
"What? Going to Chengdu?"
"I haven't agreed yet!"
Although Wu Yi and Wu Shan like the free money, they haven't agreed yet.
After all, they thought they should take another look at whether this matter was reliable.
"Hey, you don't have to agree to this."
Wu Zhong said with a 'honest' smile.
"Now that my father is no longer here, if we miss this good thing, it will be gone."
"So, I have agreed to do it for you at the military mansion in Xincai City today."
Wu Yi and Wu Shan both opened their mouths in surprise.
For a moment, neither of them knew how to deal with this problem.
"Here, these silver coins in your hands are the settlement allowance given by the military brigade commander."
"Everyone has twenty silver coins. If they were exchanged for copper coins in Xincai City, they would be worth nearly ten thousand coins."
Wu Zhong said and took out two more paper envelopes from his arms.
"Also, here are your military registration documents."
"You each take it. With this thing, when you arrive in Chengdu, you can be directly enrolled in the Twelve Army. There is no need to test your skills or family background."
Wu Yi and Wu Shan took the two paper envelopes blankly.
Then, each of them took the money into their arms.
He was so confused that he was 'sold' by his eldest brother Wu Zhong.
When they heard that it had been registered at the state, county and military offices, they did not dare to fall out rashly.
Who knows if it might cause big trouble?
Two days later.
When Wu Yi and Wu Shan took their own luggage and went to Chengdu with other Caizhou athletes.
Many military soldiers like Wu Zhong breathed a sigh of relief.
After Wu Yi and Wu Shan arrived in Chengdu.
