"Hmph!" Yan Qizhi snorted coldly.

Mei Shaohui smiled.

Pan Yuxuan advised him a few more words, and he did it all and finally let the matter pass.

Next, the three discussed the action time.

It is definitely not possible during the day. During the day, the director and life teacher will wander around the classroom to check the students' class status.

The director and life teacher know exactly which position is missing.

Yan Qizhi tried it, and the director and life teacher were both practicing.

Director of the Education Department: “…”

oh!

I used to be the head of a bodyguard!

Life teacher Zhu Zhixing: "..."

I'm really sorry, I used to work in an escort agency.

In addition to hiring some escort agencies, Gu Qingling also discussed with Li Wenchong and invited some soldiers who retreated from the battlefield to let them be responsible for the security issues of Shuxiang Academy.

She knew that these soldiers were either missing arms or having few legs, so they would retreat if they had some problems.

But it doesn't matter. Most people in the Bookshen Academy dare not provoke them. She is happy to provide jobs for some people who have made contributions to Dayan.

She said to Li Wenchong with a serious face: "We cannot let the heroes protecting the country leave blood and shed tears. Since they have sacrificed their lives and shed their blood to protect Dayan, then when they come back alive, they and their families should receive preferential treatment."

Li Wenchong was stunned for a moment: "...The court has already given a pension."

"How many?"

"Ten taels of silver for each person."

Gu Qingling immediately sniffed: "Ten taels? Ten taels can buy out their lives? What can ten taels do? Ten taels can make up for the labor force of a family? Are you kidding?"

Uh... well, it's a little less. If it were the past, Li Wenchong really didn't think there was any problem with the ten-two pension.

But after having more contact with Gu Qingling, he gradually understood the sufferings of the people at the bottom and knew what ten taels of silver meant to a family.

Ten taels of silver bought out a soldier's life, and it was indeed a bit...

Li Wenchong defended: "They joined the army and joined the military, actually to serve in the military, to build a business, and also their opportunity to make a name for themselves..."

He wanted to say that if they did a good job, it would be impossible to be a striker, a general, or something like that.

"There is a saying that a general becomes famous for eternity. Is it so easy to do a general?" Gu Qingling looked into Li Wenchong's eyes and said, "Are most people who can achieve the position of a general have read military books, or have high martial arts skills and a relatively high survival rate? Some of these people have climbed up from the bottom, but some are well-known experts who are familiar with military books and hire martial arts masters to train them... I ask you, which one is easier to make a name for yourself?"

Li Wenchong: “…”

Is this a matter of saying?

Of course it is the latter.

Although Li Wenchong also admires those generals who have nothing to do and have their lives out of the bottom, to be honest, in comparison, it is indeed the people who are more likely to be outstanding in their family background and have someone to guide them.

Anyone who has suffered hardships will find ways to cultivate their children after they have achieved fame and fortune, so that they will not suffer the hardships they have suffered.

It was common for a family of meritorious people to let their descendants study and become civil officials.

For example, the Yao family was also a meritorious person at the beginning, but now... Mr. Yao and Yao Anhong, who are not scholars who rely on imperial examinations to be officials?

"Look, right?" Gu Qingling said, "Ordinary people are cannon fodder. It is difficult for them to be generals. If they make a little contribution, they will make a name for themselves. But they have to pay a lot of money. So many people have been recruited for military service, how many people can come back alive? How many people can have meritorious and keep their family rich? It is difficult, right? So, Dayan is compulsory military service, just like corvee service. You have to do it if you don't do it, and you have to do it."

She asked Li Wenchong, then had he ever thought about how to make the people in the world proud of serving in the military?

"What else can I do except make the best?" Li Wenchong sighed, "It has been like this since ancient times. Corvée and military service are mandatory requisitions, and they are things that ordinary people don't want to touch the most. But there is no way, it's not possible to be compulsory. The court needs to employ people and the country needs to develop, so we have to make some sacrifices..."

"Did you ever think about why the people are unwilling?"

Li Wenchong was silent.

Is this a matter of saying? Because no matter it is corvee service or military service, people will die. Don’t think that there will be no mortality rate if you don’t have to go to the battlefield.

In fact, corvee labor is the hardest and dirtiest job. If you are a little bit of poor health, you will easily get tired.

"Actually, you understand, don't you? The reason why the people are unhappy is that whether it is corvee or military service, they only see the disadvantages, but not the benefits. When you talk to them about national justice, they only know that their son is dead, and the family has a lack of labor, and the family's land cannot fill their stomachs..." Gu Qingling said, "Solving the most fundamental needs of the people is a long-term solution. To put it bluntly, you want every ordinary citizen to see the benefits of corvee and military service."

Li Wenchong frowned and said that they wanted to give more money, but there was nothing they could do. The court had no money and various places needed money.

If they really have so much money, they will not forcefully requisition the people.

There was really no way, so I thought about forcing the levy to do the biggest thing with the least amount of money.

Moreover, the people have not yet opened up their wisdom, and if you tell them the big truth, they may not understand it. If the verbal words are forced to continue the military service, all the problems will be solved.

"But that's it. The money you sent may not fall into the hands of the people and be collected from layers of melons, right?"

Li Wenchong: “…”

Gu Qingling chuckled softly: "Look, you actually know, everyone knows. Since the common people know that there is no benefit in participating in this kind of compulsory corvee service, why are they willing to do it? Only after labor or even life but making their lives worse, will the fool agree."

Turning around, I talked about those who study and become officials.

It is said that everything is inferior, but only reading is high. Why is it?

It is because everyone knows that as long as you become a scholar, you will be able to become an official and respected in the future.

Therefore, even if studying is expensive, any ambition family will try their best to let their descendants study and find a way out for their descendants.

Is it easy to read?

Not easy.

How many scholars have studied hard for many years and finally won the title?

After all, most people participated in the imperial examination feast, but only a few people were able to pick the fruits in the end.

Perhaps, everyone is coming for a few people, so will these scholars who have not become officials successfully have no benefits?

Obviously not.

The law of Dayan says that scholars can be exempted from corvee service, military service and various taxes.

"Right? They don't need to be admitted to the Jinshi and become officials. As long as they pass a small scholar, they will already enjoy the preferential treatment given to them by the court. Not only that, Tong Sheng is the same, but Tong Sheng enjoys more nominal treatment."

"A family with a little richer family will look at this group of people. Either they have potential or have gained fame and fortune. For their benefit, they are willing to "invest" in advance, such as funding the other party's study, or even marrying their daughter to the other party."
