A village chief who does not want to be a village chief is not a good villager

No.20 For three days, the atmosphere in the Baixiao military camp became more tense.The training for the 1000 new recruits has also become more rigorous.

Jian Ping knew that the first battle was about to begin.And at this time, Jian Ping was rarely annoyed, why his golden finger wasn't a portable space.

If there is such a thing, I am afraid that I will become a millionaire after beating the bandits a few times.But fortunately, this kind of regret is just a flash. After all, things like gold fingers are already God's love for me, so there is no one to pick and choose.

Sure enough, No.20 for four days.The recruit battalion led by Zhou Lin, the whole army set off to the bandit mountain to suppress the bandits.Jian Ping didn't want to kill anyone if he had a choice.

Therefore, Jian Ping, who was a clerk, silently chose to stay in the camp with Tian Wen.Not only that, Jian Ping also gave a little signal to the leading 'Jian Family Army', those who want to stay in the barracks, work hard.Those who do not want to stay in the barracks should focus on preserving their own safety.

After all, no matter what the reason is for a person who has killed someone, his state of mind will always change after he leaves the barracks.Therefore, those who have not aspired to be soldiers had better not have blood on their hands.

According to the information obtained from the reconnaissance, there are no more than 150 people on the bandit mountain.So it is not impossible for 1000 people to go there, and some of them choose to play side drums.

Jian Ping defends his shortcomings, but he is not the Holy Father.So taking care of the people in Jian's Village was the best choice Jian Ping could make without harming his own interests.

As for the people in other villages, it is not something that Jian Ping needs to pay attention to.

However, it was still a bit different from what Jian Ping thought. The bandit suppression battle that Jian Ping thought could be completed in three days at most, was still not finished after seven days.

But it wasn't the battle on the same bandit mountain. After Zhou Lin led the team to suppress the nearest bandits, he actually made a big turn and went to the bandit mountain in the next county.

You must know that because of the wars in the past few years, there were many bandits in the Great Xia Dynasty.Although the situation has eased due to the clear policy of the past few years, the bandits who have tasted the taste of getting something for nothing, but not all of them want to go back to the loess and bear the hardships again.

So this time the banditry was not limited to this mountain near Taohua Town, but it was spread out fifty miles from Taohua Town as the center, and all bandits were directly wiped out.

The team of 1000 people swept across, and the news came back naturally that it was a series of victories.After all, this bandit village with about 150 people near Taohua Town can be regarded as the largest bandit den recently.

Even this village can't withstand the sweep of 1000 people, let alone other small villages.

No.20 Nine days, some people came back.And Jian Ping finally received the 'deposit' from Bai Huankong - a silver ticket of 5000 taels.

I have to say that the bandit nest is really a golden nest.

No. On the 30th day, although the battle was not over, the Shangguan still gave the order to return to the camp to rest.After all, too many prisoners have been caught, and they need to be dealt with quickly.

After all, the banditry was caused by refugees, so the court didn't have to kill them all.As long as those people know that they are afraid, know that they have repented, and voluntarily go back and continue to be obedient citizens, it is not impossible to turn a blind eye to what happened before.

However, Jian Ping could see that Bai Huankong must have more things to do.The border is probably the ultimate goal of Bai Huankong.

However, Jian Ping just saw these things in his eyes and kept them in his heart, even if it was Tian Wen, Jian Ping didn't reveal any information.

No.30 days, the whole army returned to the camp for refurbishment.The barracks also issued a new order, because the surrounding bandits had almost been cleaned up. If anyone wanted to go home early, they could go back by paying a poll tax of five taels of silver.

This is not to call the sky to search for people's fat and people's anointing in vain, this is a normal process.It was also at this time that Jian Ping realized that he had taken it for granted before.

Zhou Lin revealed that the head tax of five taels of silver means that after serving in the army for a month, one can 'redeem' one's body with five taels of silver after having achieved military exploits.

For military service in ordinary years, a head is 15 taels of silver, not five taels.The duration of military service also ranges from two months to half a year, or even a year.

And this time depends on whether there is any war in the imperial court or the need to build a large project such as a dam during this period.

Therefore, this kind of thing is highly variable and operable.

Jian Ping immediately gathered the people in Jianjia Village, and Jian Yi and other people who had already determined to be soldiers stood aside.The remaining group of people who were still a little dazed stood on the other side.

"The general said before that those who have military exploits can go home early. So now I want to ask you what you mean, whether you want to continue to serve in the military or go home." Before Jian Ping finished speaking, everyone looked at him in surprise. Own.

Jian Ping paused for a moment, and finished the rest. "Because everyone has made contributions now, everyone only needs to pay a poll tax of five taels of silver."

Five taels of silver, compared with 15 taels, is indeed much less.But five taels of silver, farmers like them, even if the whole family does not eat or drink for a year, they may not be able to save it.

So all of a sudden, everyone's eyes dimmed with hope.There were even a few younger people who hid in the back and cried out depressedly.

In the previous battle, although they were victorious.And because of the captives, it is not necessary to kill everyone.

But some people were still killed. These ordinary farmers, at most, had seen pig slaughtering on weekdays.When the murder happened right in front of our eyes, not everyone could accept it.

If it weren't for the high-intensity fighting that was pressing, many people would have gone crazy.So after returning to the camp this time, many people were already extremely nervous.

Just as I got a hope, I received a despair.All of a sudden, everyone became angry and desperate.

"Why are you crying!" Jian Ping growled when there was a sad atmosphere around him.And the majesty created in the past also made those boys who couldn't hold back their tears hold their breath, and they didn't dare to cry anymore.

Jane looked at everyone with a straight face.

"Before, we still had one hundred and one taels of silver left, and I got permission from the general to offset your military achievements against the poll tax of two taels of silver, so those who want to go home can sign up directly, and the money is enough."

Jane looked at everyone with a straight face, but the boys in Jian's Village burst into cheers instantly after being stunned. "Brother Jian Ping, you are too kind!"

The cheers of the ancients should not be expected to shout long live, I am afraid that shouting is not far from beheading.So a group of people sending you a good person card is almost the highest compliment.

Jian Ping also had a smile in his eyes, raised his hand and pressed down.The people in Jian's Village immediately became quiet.Then, he turned his head to look in the direction of Jian Yi and the others.

"The thing about going home is to give you a way out. But if someone wants to become a soldier to earn a way out, I won't stop it."

Jian Ping glanced at the direction of the general's tent, and when everyone calmed down, he said in a slightly heavy and serious voice. "I can see that our general is a capable person. If you follow him, the situation will not be too bad. But the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, and it is a way to fight for the future. I will give you Having said so much, I just want to let you know the situation, how to choose depends on you.”

Jian Ping paused again and looked at everyone. "Think about it tonight. If you want to go home directly, come to report to me tomorrow morning, and go back together after paying the poll tax."

Jian Ping nodded to everyone, and then left the place.

Originally, Jian Ping didn't need to say what happened later.But Jian Ping can really tell that following Bai Huankong will definitely not suffer in the future.

Most importantly, say something without exaggerating.Those who could follow him to serve in the military were either the least favored in the family or the invisible ones in the family.

Back home exhausted, may not be able to live a good life.But if you follow Bai Huankong, maybe you can really spell out a future.

The most important thing is that because the people in Jianjia Village were reused at the beginning, they can be [-]% sure later that everyone can at least earn the status of a small team leader.

So Jian Ping didn't want these people to regret it.

Of course, there is also a little bit of selfishness.Still the same sentence, there are talents in the court who are good at handling things.As long as these people he personally raped are not ungrateful, as long as they can earn a good future.Jian Ping doesn't even need to ask them for anything in return, as long as everyone has a good friendship, it will be enough for Jian Ping to benefit.

So Jian Ping really doesn't mind doing this kind of win-win thing a few more times.

"Brother Jian Ping!"

After leaving the place where Jian's family gathered, Tian Wen looked at Jian Ping worriedly.After thinking about it, Jian Ping understood Tian Wen's worry.

The human heart is the most unreliable thing.If these people listened to what Jian Ping said, they would really stay.It is a good thing to earn a future, but if they die on the battlefield, the family members of those people will haunt Jian Ping for the rest of their lives.

Jian Ping patted Tian Wen's head with a smile, and looked at the gathering point of Jian's village people, a cold light flashed in his eyes. "Will not."

How could he let this happen.

Tian Wen looked at Jian Ping, who was confident, and knew that the other party had something to do, so he let go of his worries.Big deal, if something really happens in the future, he and Brother Jian Ping can handle it together.

The night passed quickly.

Early the next morning, Jian Ping waited at the place where they had gathered before.Most of the people in Jian's Village came over with dark circles under their eyes.

The situation was similar to Jian Ping's idea. Apart from Jian Yi and the others, there were [-] other people who chose to stay.

And those eighteen people, just as Jian Ping thought, were not favored by the family, or in other words, they were the punching bag and abandoned children of the family.

Sixty people, one person three taels of silver, 100 taels is not enough.Those who wanted to go home looked at Jian Ping anxiously.

"Okay, I'll make up for what's not enough, and after everyone makes money, just deduct it from the collective account."

"Brother Jian Ping!" Under Jian Ping's stare, a group of people who wanted to cheer quickly covered their mouths.

However, with tears in their eyes, they couldn't help it no matter what.

Bai Huankong's policy is not just for Jian's Village, but everyone in the entire military camp knows about it.Last night, Shangguan had already announced this order.

It's a pity that apart from the people from Jian's Village, cheers were rarely heard from camps in other villages.After all, five taels of silver is really not a small sum.

Bai Huankong gave the order to give everyone enough time to raise money, and specially assigned one person from each village to go back to the village to talk about this matter, so that those who are capable and want to go back will send money from their homes.

So early the next morning, there were quite a few people who wanted to go back to the village.It's just that compared to the sixty people in Jian's Village who went back in one breath, the scattered people in other villages are not so obvious.

And when the people in other villages saw that Jian Ping took out 180 taels of silver to pay the poll tax for their villagers, they didn't know whether to be jealous or jealous for a while.

However, these gazes had no negative impact on Jian Ping at all.Early in the morning, Jian Ping asked the other three clerks and his three 'students', moved the table and brought pens and inks, and wrote letters home for each of the people in Jian's Village who wanted to stay in the camp.

Just to briefly explain, because five taels of silver is too much, they decided to leave behind the military service because they didn't want to drag the family down.

Jian Ping also decided after holding a small meeting with everyone that even if they were going to stay in the barracks, everyone's three taels of silver would still be given to them.

After all, the money was originally the common property of the village protection team. If it was only spent for those who returned home and not for those who stayed behind, I am afraid that it would be left behind.

Of course, if it’s not enough, ask Jian Ping first.

And the [-] or so people left behind also made a tacit decision to ask Jian Ping to bring the three taels of silver back to their families.

If they really die outside unfortunately, it can be regarded as repaying their parents for their upbringing.It might not be enough, but that's all for now.

Regarding the fact that Jianjia Village had to return sixty people in one go, Zhou Lin, the person who led the team recently, regretted the most.

After all, with people from Jian's Village, he really saved a lot of unnecessary trouble.Fortunately, there are still people from Jian's Village left, and after such a long period of actual combat training, these recruits can finally come in handy.
