When Xiang Rui mentioned this, not only Li Yan and Ning Chongchen, but also An Wan next to him showed a look of astonishment.
What Xiang Rui said was very incredible to the three of them.
Does such a place really exist?
Where else is the woman the head of the family?
After Shen Jun raised his eyebrows slightly, he was not very surprised.
Even in later generations, there are still traces of matriarchal society in some places.
It has not experienced the baptism of the patriarchal society, nor has it entered the egalitarian society proposed subsequently, but still retains its original appearance.
That can be regarded as proof that in today's era, this kind of social structure exists.
It’s just that not many people know about it.
Because of Xiang Rui's popular science, several people's topics shifted slightly.
An Wan asked Xiang Rui a lot of questions out of curiosity.
It's a pity that Xiang Rui doesn't know many of them. He only knows some superficial ones.
Several people discussed here for a long time, until the discussion was finally over, the sky outside had completely darkened.
After a quick meal, Shen Jun returned to the study and opened the so-called enhanced candle that he had exchanged from the mall.
It is said that the light can be compared to the brightness of a table lamp imitating a high-power fluorescent lamp.
Shen Jun tested it and found that it was indeed quite bright, but it was still too difficult to reach the brightness of a fluorescent lamp.
After spending an hour or two customizing a training plan, Shen Jun opened the mall.
She wanted to see if there was anything targeting women.
Logically speaking, as long as the training intensity reaches a certain level, women can also develop extremely strong skills.
But for the same training intensity, women will still be worse than men due to the natural physiological difference and the same effort.
Unless you are a naturally strong man.
This has been formed in nature over a long period of time and cannot be changed by just talking.
But Shen Jun wanted to see if there was any shortcut that would save them from suffering so much, and the rate of return was not particularly high.
There are indeed a lot of things in the mall.
Shen Jun later found a lot of fighting-related books in the library area.
Some books were also found that recorded the methods that the military would use to train people in the future.
I don't know if these books are reliable, but they can provide reference for Shen Jun anyway.
Shen Jun spent a long time in the study studying these related records, no matter which dynasty or time point they were from.
There are retained the wisdom of the predecessors.
a few days later
After the fall of the Yang Mansion, the lives of many people in Zhiling County were obviously much better.
However, after paying a high price to buy the water that is indispensable every day, I only need to think about how to get some food to survive.
Although there is water, most of it is used for daily drinking. If possible, they still hope it will rain.
In this way, they can also work in the fields and grow more things.
Many people have been looking forward to it day and night, but the rain has not yet fallen. Instead, a new notice has been posted on the bulletin board in the county town that has not been updated for a long time.
"What's written on it?"
"If anyone knows the characters, come and read them."
After urging, finally a literate Shanshan came to eat, "Don't worry, I'll take a look."
The man stared at the notice above and said in surprise for a while, "What it says is a good thing, but it's probably not feasible."
"You old bastard, tell me what you wrote. You're quite happy to read it."
"That's right, it's not unusual for you to be beaten over the head by someone if you look like this."
Being complained like this, the old man didn't worry, "I've finished reading it so I can tell you directly. Okay, okay, I'll just say it now."
After everyone's attention gathered around him, the old man said, "The notice above said that the group passing by our county wanted to recruit young and strong young men as bodyguards. Looking at this posture, they looked like they were recruiting. , they are trained, and they need to be able to endure hardships. But the treatment seems to be pretty good, including food, money and food..."
When they heard about recruiting soldiers, many people's expressions changed.
Nowadays, joining the army is not an honorable deed. Once you are forcibly dragged into the army, it means that your flesh and blood will be separated, and you may not even expect to see each other again in this life.
But after thinking about it, it was impossible for that group to recruit troops, so the people around them were relieved.
When I heard the treatment mentioned later, my heart suddenly felt warm again.
Most of their families are also short of food. If they can send people in, one less person will be able to eat and drink, and the other party can bring back some food every month.
Thinking about it this way, it seems to be a good thing.
but.
The old scoundrel continued, "But, it seems that he will follow them. They say they are going south, and the people they recruit must also follow them. Oops, if they follow them, they will not be able to come back in the future. Come back!"
As soon as these words came out, the person who was still hot-tempered just now felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him.
Do you want to follow someone who left your hometown and go to an unfamiliar place?
Think about it, forget it.
Isn't this a living separation?
If you have such a son, it won't make much difference if you don't have one.
Forget it, they still can't afford this treatment.
At that moment, some people ridiculed, "Who has a good son who is willing to give it away? They are still expecting his son to take care of him in old age. Who will take care of him then?"
"I'm afraid no one will go. To be a servant and guard, you have to leave your hometown. That's what a fool would do."
"Oh, this isn't Miss Shen's decision, is it? No one is trying to persuade Miss Shen. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if we don't recruit anyone by then?"
"If you ask me, Miss Shen is still too young after all. You will understand after she falls this time."
There are also some people who have a very good impression of Shen Jun, and after hearing this, they said unhappily.
"How do you know that no one is going? What if they accept a lot of people!"
"What? Is it possible that you are willing to go? Or are you willing to let your family members go?"
After being blocked by a word, the man felt a little depressed.
Fortunately, someone still spoke up.
"Even if you guys want to go, people might think you are too old, weak, and useless." Another person sneered, "Besides, there is no shortage of those without fathers and mothers in the county. I’m sure they’ll be very happy!”
In today's county, there are many orphans who live alone with big families. ,
There are also some whose families are almost unable to open the pot. For those families, they have so many sons and they just give away one or two at random.
If you are selected, your family won’t have to open your mouth to eat, and you can still have food delivered to your home.
In the future, there will be other sons to take care of in old age. This son is just leaving temporarily, so it’s okay.
