Zhang Quandan was forced to separate from his wife because the dormitories for men and women in the training base are separated.

Over the next month, Zhang Quandan, along with a group of others, underwent militia training.

The daily lessons are literacy, counting and queue assassination practice.

His wife also needs to learn to read and count and practice in formation, but the assassination is replaced by learning how to use the loom.

After another month, Zhang Quandan, like other militiamen, started farming and construction. Because during a border patrol, he fought bravely against a team of landlords, killed one person and captured another alive, so he was commended. Under the envious eyes of everyone, he joined [Huang Tianjun] with honor.

Zhang Quandan is now a recruit under the jurisdiction of the 3th Battalion of the 9rd Division of the 3th Army. His monthly salary is [-] taels.

These military uniforms are all made of high-quality fabrics, with excellent craftsmanship and solid materials, which cannot be bought in the market at all.

Old military uniforms in private circulation can be sold for at least 1 tael of silver, and thick winter clothes can be sold for a high price of more than 2 taels of silver.

At the same time, the children of soldiers not only go to school for free, but even have a subsidy for board and lodging, so Zhang Quandan's son really doesn't need to spend a penny to study.

Ordinary people do not need to pay to enter elementary schools and evening schools, but they have to take care of their own food and lodging.

And if you do well in the exam, you can get a scholarship, and you can earn money by reading a book.

In order to implement Huang Chao's request, the Ministry of Education spent a lot of money on guiding the people to read and write.

After finishing elementary school and passing the exam, they can enter junior high school. Each junior high school student has a ten-acre land tax exemption for ten years, and no tax is collected on the eleventh. The food grown on the land is his own.

If you pass the junior high school exam and become a high school student, you will have a 20-year full tax exemption for [-] acres of land.

If he can pass the examination of an advanced subject, he will have 60 acres of land and [-] years of tax exemption. Basically, he will not have to pay taxes to Daming on the land in his life.

Of course, talents who can pass the higher subject examinations will not care about such a little money. Every such talent will be scrambled for by all parties, and the salary starts from a few hundred taels. Worry about no money.

The reason why such a large preferential subsidy is given is because Daming is really short of talents.

Daming has already embarked on the road to full-scale industrialization, but the worker population simply cannot meet the requirements.

As long as the basic education is passed, the agricultural population can be quickly transformed into an industrial population

Each worker creates far more wealth than a land-bound farmer.

As soon as the Ministry of Education's policy came out, a large number of top scholars began to appear in the territory of Ming Dynasty.

These children who have grown up in bitter water are eager to get out of the difficult environment, and try their best to grasp the straw that changes their destiny, learn, learn and learn again.

And for these people, learning is really a joy. In the past life, which thing was not more tiring and bitter than studying?

After studying physics and chemistry, their horizons have also broadened, and they are full of contempt for the Four Books and Five Classics that cannot create value in this era.They feel that the world is being seen by them little by little.

Due to the establishment of the examination system, the class in the territory began to flow.

The children of farmers are not necessarily farmers, and the children of workers may be able to pass the exam and become officials.

There is even a chance to become an "emperor", which was unimaginable in the old society.

The Ming Dynasty was just established five years ago, but the people in the Ming Dynasty felt that it had been five centuries, and new things and new terms were emerging one after another, constantly impacting the senses of the people.

Everyone's life is changing day by day, and it is getting better and better visible to the naked eye.

Zhang Quandan, who has been promoted to platoon leader, is on vacation today. He excitedly rushed to the train station and bought a special ticket at the special passage for soldiers. Feeling the envious eyes of the people around him, he felt a kind of pride from the bottom of his heart.

And soon to see his wife and children, he suppressed his excitement and maintained his image as a soldier.

When he came outside the textile factory, he received his wife who had just got off work. He took out a gift from his pocket—a bicycle key, which made his wife very happy. The bicycle had just been produced not long ago, and the production capacity could not keep up. There is no need to sell it at all.

That is to say, there can be enough [bicycle purchase coupons] in the army to distribute to officers as benefits for the New Year and the holidays.

With this bicycle, my wife no longer has to walk to and from get off work hard, and ride a bicycle to pick up the children from school, which is much easier.

The couple went to the restaurant to have something to eat, went shopping in the newly opened department store, bought a bar of soap, and then went to the junior high school where their children belonged.

Because of the evening self-study, the students don't finish school until 8 o'clock.

After receiving the child, Zhang Quandan put on the majesty of a parent, and seriously asked about his child's recent study situation. After learning that he got a perfect score in the latest math test, Zhang Quandan finally showed a smile.

A family of three, pushing bicycles, accompanied by dimly lit street lights, walked on the street home, Zhang Quandan was filled with satisfaction.

He suddenly thought of the "Great Good Man Liu Landlord" who almost ruined his family a few years ago, and also thought of the Hongwu Emperor who had seen him from afar.

He secretly blessed in his heart: "God, oh God, you must bless Emperor Hongwu to live a long life!"

Chapter 12 Ding Ding Tianxia, ​​Wei Jiayun

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Daming's [Second Five-Year Plan] had been fully successful.

In the past five years, the expansion of Ming Dynasty has been very slow. In the north, only Yan'an Mansion, Hejian Mansion, and Zhending Mansion were captured; in the south, the line of Xiangzhou, Guangzhou, Shouzhou, and Chuzhou was occupied. Did not go to Gangneung.

The Ming Dynasty and the Song Dynasty ruled along the Huai River. In order to maintain this situation, the Song Dynasty court paid 50 taels of silver and 40 bolts of silk.

Of course, there is no need to give the old coins of Daliao and Xixia.

Yelu Yanxi of the Liao Kingdom and Emperor Chongzong Li Ganshun of Xixia were furious when they learned of this incident, and they raised their troops brazenly, wanting to teach Daming a lesson.

Originally, the two of them planned to come to the Central Plains to share a share of the pie when they received the envoy from the Northern Song Dynasty for help, but they didn't expect that Huang Chao's actions were so fast, or that the Northern Song Dynasty was so useless that they didn't even hold on for a week.

They didn't think Huang Chao was that strong, they only thought Da Song was really weak!

What Yelu Yanxi and Li Qianshun were thinking was: If I had known that the Song Dynasty was so easy to fight, I would have raised my army a long time ago!

The two countries mobilized most of the domestic troops capable of fighting in one go, most of them were cavalry, and drove straight in from the northwest, trying to take advantage of Huang Chao before he had time to react. To occupy.
