Zhou Yi actually got married to Liu Sili's daughter!

This is a huge thing for the entire Zhou family.

The Zhou family has been living in this remote place, farming for generations, and has never produced any capable people.

But Liu Sili is different. He is an amazing person in the county town. There are even rumors that he is very likely to become the chief clerk of the county in a few years. And that... But the court's legitimate official, even if he is a ninth rank, is a person that Zhou Kang can't curry favor with even if he wants to.

"Zhou Yi's family... are blessed." Zhou Kang couldn't help but sigh.

The three sons... stood aside crookedly, drooling in their mouths.

Although they are young, they look aging before they grow old.

In the past, Zhou Kang was proud of having three sons.

After all... the more sons, the higher the status in the village.

But now... Zhou Yi, who came back, asked Zhou Kang to look at his son, and he didn't like him anyway.

Look at them, there is no standing posture, no sitting posture, and they are out of breath when they don’t do much farm work. The eldest has married a wife, the second and third have not even had a shadow of a wife so far, especially with a dull look, who is dirty all over and can’t find any benefit on her body.

The more Zhou Kang thought about it, the more he became more and more frustrated he glared at them, and couldn't help but curse: "Why are you standing here? It's not that you marry a bride, a bunch of bastards, and you don't go to farm work, don't work, who will support you? Get out!"

After hearing this, the three sons fled in a hurry.

Why……

Zhou Kang shook his head.

He even began to wonder in his heart, what would he do if Zhou Yi encountered scolding?

Anyway, Zhou Kang believed that with Zhou Yi's knowledge, he would definitely not be so embarrassed.

Those who have seen the world are those who have seen the world.

…………

Two days later...

Then Liu Sili actually came to the countryside in person and brought a few minor officials to make the village lively again.

But this time, what they brought was official documents from the yamen.

The court actually recruited soldiers again.

This time... the number of people recruited was very large, not just that. For veterans in the past, they were allowed to re-enter the army. All veterans, as long as they joined the army, were directly awarded the title of non-commissioned officers, re-entered Beijing, and reorganized.

Liu Sili came for this matter.

Isn’t his prospective son-in-law a veteran?

Liu Sili was also extremely excited. He summoned all the people in the village and started asking the minor officials to post a notice.

Because he had the intention of getting better than his prospective son-in-law, he said to Zhou Yi directly: "Zhou Yi, come and read it."

After hearing this, Zhou Yi looked at the notice and then began to sing.

After a while, all the men in the village looked happy.

But if I continued to recite, more than half of them had a sad look on their faces again.

This recruitment requires a high demand for new recruits!

Not only does it require age, height, and even vision.

This made those who were over-age and those who were not tall, cry.

Those who felt hope were so happy that they almost jumped up and were excited and cheered.

Zhou Kang was accompanying Liu Sili. When he heard Zhou Yi's notice, his mind suddenly buzzed. He felt that his legs were a little weak and he couldn't stand. Fortunately, Zhou Yi helped him in time.

Liu Sili's face was flushed, looking at the reactions of the young and old in the village.

Some women also heard the noise and even came out, the old mother-in-law and young daughter-in-law were whispering something.

The third brother of Zhou Kang's family cheered loudly: "Dad, dad, I am tall enough and I am just the same age."

He looked at his father in anticipation.

He wanted to go to Ningbo, go to the capital, and eat meat.

When he thought of eating meat, his saliva flowed down again.

Being a soldier means eating meat, studying, and marrying a wife, not... it is not a wife, but a wife comes to us.

He looked at his father carefully, with expectations in his eyes.

If you go to the army, it means that there is less labor in the family. If your father refuses to go by himself, it will be bad.

His two brothers looked dirty because they were over the age of age.

Zhou Kang was also excited and said with great enthusiasm: "Go, of course you have to go, third brother, the hope of our family is all on you, you have to be successful."

As he said that... Zhou Kang was crying.

He didn't have the slightest depression of his son's about to travel far away, and the tears were filled with relief.

Unexpectedly... the court recruited soldiers again, this... this... this is undoubtedly a god-given opportunity!

He suddenly felt that his third brother would like to see him no matter how he looked at him.

On the other hand, Liu Sili pulled Zhou Yi aside and whispered: "You read this official document without missing a word. Do you still want to return to the army?"

Zhou Yi's eyes were bright, but hesitated for a moment.

He was naturally moved, but looking at his future father-in-law, he couldn't help but say, "If you go, I'm afraid Cui'e will suffer."

Liu Sili said seriously: "She is my daughter, but the woman has long hair and short knowledge. She is determined by the man. She manages the family business at home and serves your mother. It is obvious in the official documents that if you go to the army, you are a non-commissioned officer. I don't understand very well. I think there will be a document to explain in detail from now on, but no matter what, it is also an official, which is stronger than being a soldier. When you arrive in the army... there will always be a chance. I think you are not an ordinary person, and in the future... there will be a future. If you want to go, I will make the decision. I will choose a date to get married in the next two days so that you can go back to your army with peace of mind. Cui'e passed the door and took care of your mother. Of course, I will also help you here. After arriving in Beijing, I will prepare more letters and come back. If there is anything, our father-in-law and son-in-law will discuss it."

Zhou Yi heard this and his blood suddenly surged.

His only concern was this. He never expected that Liu Sili would be so enlightened.

Although the days at home were not as hard as those in the army, Zhou Yi always felt uncomfortable. What he thought about day and night was that he wanted to hear the familiar military horns and military whistles again.

This Liu Sili is also a person who has seen the world. He deals with official documents and documents every day. He knows more than anyone else what has changed in the world.

He looked at Zhou Yi and was very pleased that he had good eyes and luck. He could find such a son-in-law. This son-in-law is strong, knowledgeable, has studied, and is still young, and he will definitely have a future in the future.

He stroked his beard and patted Zhou Yi on the shoulder, his eyes full of relief, and said, "Don't worry, I'm very strict with my children's family tutoring, and Cui'e is also aware of the general idea."

Zhou Yi said nothing more, and fell to the ground and said, "Son-in-law, please follow his teachings."

After a while, the place was not pure, and countless men of the right age found Zhou Yi.

Not only the village, but almost all people from all over the neighborhood, flocked to them.

People asked what they needed to join the army, and what they wanted to carry, and where they were located in the recruitment office in Ningbo, would they block the people back? What if they really entered the army in the future.

These countless questions made Zhou Yi dizzy.

Liu Sili was very efficient in his work. Two days later, Zhou Yi got married. Soon after the newlyweds, he bid farewell to his mother and daughter-in-law, and set off with hundreds of young people of appropriate age.

Countless people came out and came to see them off.

Those who come to see off are happy and wish they... their son or husband should not be beaten back by the army.

A huge crowd... finally poured into the county's recruitment office...

The officials of the county military corps felt that the world was crazy.

……………………

The official documents of recruiting troops from the Ministry of War have been sent, and Wang Shouren doesn’t know how effective it is.

The only thing he knew...is that all this was the idea of ​​his mentor, and his mentor... shouldn't be wrong.

He immediately... went to the cabinet, but found that his mentor was not there and went to see the emperor. In fact, Fang Jifan did not have much time in the cabinet. Most of the time, he was with Zhu Houzhao and didn't know what he was doing.

Everyone is used to it and does not feel that there is any difference.

On the contrary, it would be rare if this guy often appears in the cabinet.

When Liu Jian and Li Dongyang learned that Wang Shouren had come to the cabinet, they specially invited him. The three of them sat down and drank tea casually.

Liu Jian took the lead and said: "Boan, the Ministry of War has started recruiting troops, right?"

Wang Shouren said: "Yes, it has begun. The official documents have been issued to various provincial government departments, as well as prefectures and counties. Now, the five armies are planned to be expanded, each army is 15,000. This number is not small, and there are also many strong men required. The number is 75,000. The officials were a little worried, but they are afraid that too many are just filling in the numbers. There are people in the Censorate's Office, which are sarcastic..."

"Sarcastic..." Liu Jian frowned and raised his eyebrows: "These people are really dead."

Liu Jian lost his patience to the Censorate. He was the chief minister of the cabinet. Even if the emperor took away most of the Qingliu, the Censorate's responsibilities were originally supervisors, so... there were still many gossips.

Because Liu Jian supported the new policy, he is now increasingly in line with His Majesty's wishes in the new policy, so some people began to be dissatisfied with Liu Jian, believing that Liu Jian has no style of a minister, which is an opportune and praising the emperor.

Even if Liu Jian has a good temper, he has begun to lose patience with these people.

Wang Shouren said again: "They said that if they want to recruit so many people at once, they will inevitably use this name to attract men everywhere. At that time, I don't know how many people will cry without tears."

Liu Jian: “…”

The most common thing in this era is to pull the boys...

The court needs people, and the strong men are unwilling to do so. Therefore... in order to complete the court's responsibilities, local officials let minor officials go to the countryside to take over people. Often, such matters are causing chaos everywhere and the people suffer in a tragedy.

Now the imperial court needs to recruit nearly 100,000 people. Such a large number is just to strengthen the men?
