The sick man is responsible

Li was beating gongs and drums to post the official documents, and after making sure that at least one person from each household was present, he let the people who were literate and loud read the words on the official documents aloud. There are quite a lot of them, but there are also many illiterate people. Whenever there is a board, there must be a narrator.After reading the words on the official document, Lizheng had to explain it, and if anyone had questions, they had to answer them.

Waiting for Lizheng to confirm again and again that this conscription, every household has a man of the right age, and after he can't be replaced by money, everyone discusses like a swarm of bees that exploded.This large-scale recruitment of strong men to the army happened ten years ago. After that, it was generally a small-scale conscription. In those few years, the weather was good, and the families who had less money were paid for military service.

Although Li Zheng said that the government now encourages people who have no land or have a large family to go to Jiaxing Guanzhi to farm.And as long as the whole family went to Jiaxing Guanzhi border to farm, the middle-aged members of the family who were supposed to serve in the military could replace the soldiers with farmers instead of going to the battlefield.But who can easily decide the whole family to go to the border, if one is not good, one will die, but now the whole family will die.

All of a sudden, people are panicked, but this is what everyone discusses when there are two or more people gathered together.

Liu Chenghan didn't have time to discuss this, he still had to find out who led them north, where they went north, how long it would take on the road, the geography, human conditions, climate, etc. many.

Meng Moumou still put in a lot of effort in it, knowing that Liu Chenghan was determined to go to Jiaxing Pass, so he asked his elder brother to connect with him and let him meet and drink with the escort officer this time.

There are two escort officers, one is a young man who is in charge of military service, the other is in charge of relocating farmers, and there are several subordinates. Liu Chenghan is never reluctant to spend money at this time, and he fights with them every time he comes and goes. relationship, and also got a lot of inside information.

For example, the government will send out a few horse-drawn carriages to transport things to the farmers who move to the customs, but they definitely can’t drag everyone’s things. It would be better if I have a means of transportation. I mainly rely on walking. The schedule is quite fast, and it takes two months. When you arrive at Jiaxingguan, you have to arrive before autumn, because winter there comes much earlier. "It's bitterly cold at the border, you have to make some preparations." An escort officer said to Liu Chenghan drunkenly.

The population of Jiaxing Pass is not large now. As long as these people who farm in the branches listen to their superiors and farm honestly, they will not have any major problems.Before next summer, the government will allocate houses to live in, but after next year's spring plowing, they will definitely have to designate a place for them to build their own houses.

Naturally, they can't go anywhere fast, but there are so many people this time, so they don't have to worry about bandits and road tyrants on the way. Those who serve in the military this time also go to Jiaxing Pass, but they will walk faster and sweep the road ahead. , it is easier for the branch farmers to walk behind.

Liu Chenghan didn't come back until he was smelled of alcohol for two consecutive days. Liu Hanqing only felt distressed, but he didn't think about whether he would do something wrong to him if he went to the Chu Pavilion with others to drink flowers and wine every night.Liu Chenghan had told him a long time ago that he went there to get close to the escort officer, so he still has this trust.

Several men from Liu Shusong's family gathered together to talk, and after a brief silence, Liu Chengyi sneered inexplicably, and said, "Let me go to serve in the military."

Liu Chengzhi looked at him, "Second."

"My husband will be taken care of by my elder brother." Liu Chengyi said.

"You are a man now." Liu Shusong looked at the second son and said, influenced by Zhou Dongcao, he also favored the third boy a bit, but he didn't completely ignore the second son, they were all his sons. He will not let any of his sons go if he redeems money for military service, but there is no way now, the third son is just at the age of military service, and the second son is still a few years older.He didn't leave his elder brother alone and let his younger brother go to serve in the military first.

Liu Chengyi smiled and patted Liu Chengxin on the shoulder, "You must be filial to father and aya at home."

The news that Liu Chengyi was going to serve in the military did not cause much disturbance in Liu Shusong's family. Before it was revealed, everyone agreed that Liu Chengyi would go, but Liu Chengyi himself said that he would go, which saved a lot of disputes.

Zhou Dongcao even let out a long breath, for fear that the second son would stand up to him again, he couldn't bear to let his beloved third boy join the army.

After Wu Suihua knew Liu Chengyi's decision, she didn't say anything, she just packed her luggage silently. Liu Chengyi saw him packing his own salute, and asked, "What are you doing?"

"I'll go with you." Wu Suihua said calmly, "I won't marry again in this life, I'll go with you, didn't Lizheng say that someone should go to Jiaxing Pass to farm, and then you will be a soldier there , I am waiting for you here, you live and I live, and you die and I will die."

Liu Chengyi stared at him blankly for a while, and finally hugged him tightly in his arms, hugging him so tightly that his ribs hurt so much that he didn't let go.Liu Chengyi accepted him sincerely, and the grievances about him being married once completely disappeared.

"I will never let you down." Liu Chengyi said.

Liu Lao Wu was smoking a hookah, discussing with Liao Xiaodou what he was talking about today, when Liu Shun came back last time and said he wanted them to go to the border with him, he thought he was talking nonsense and cursed a few words, his son was not at home, He also had brothers to help him, Liu Shun and Zheng Baijia went to serve in the military, and he and Liao Xiaodou could not live in the village with the bell ringing. How could the whole family go so far away?

Today, I said that if the whole family goes to Jiaxing Pass, those who serve in the military can use farmers instead of soldiers. Liu Laowu got entangled again. His son has to serve in the military. It seems that he can't escape, but he can use farmers instead of soldiers. Dancing guns on the battlefield is also excellent.

In the end, Liao Xiaodou made a decision and said, "If Hanqing is sure to go to Jiaxing Pass, we will go together. We are just a brother and a boy in our lives. We are not always busy for them. Now they are all going to Jiaxing Guan, it doesn't make any sense to leave the three of us here alone."

Liu Laowu nodded, put away his bong, and since he might have to go far away, he should finish the makeup ordered by others first.

Twenty days after the announcement of Mingbang is the day of departure, there is not much time left for Liu Chenghan to prepare, if there is more movement, everyone will know the news that his family is going to farm in Zhibian, and some of the students he taught still come to see him off. Liu Chenghan was also quite moved when he said goodbye to the things, but the things still had to be taken back as they were, and it was too late for him to move things out now, and he had no place to put them when he brought them back.

Now it was a certainty that they were going to leave, their names were written in the handbook, Liu Hanqing and Zhou Hongmei had to hurry up and pack up all the things at home, and prepare to take something away.

Liu Chenghan said that the family's money cannot be taken away, and the wealth is not revealed. It is not a good thing to carry too much money, so he divided the family's cash into three parts, one part was taken away, one part was deposited in the county bank, and one part was deposited in the county bank. One was divided into two, one part was sent to Grandpa for his safekeeping, and the other part was sent to Zhou Chunguang for his safekeeping.

The money taken away was also divided into three parts, one part was the money that went around in the open, one part was kept by Zhou Hongmei, and the other part was kept by Liu Hanqing.

All the furniture in the house should be put in the cabinet, and the ordinary ones are kept at home, and the more expensive ones are transported to the uncle's house in the county for safekeeping.

There are two children in the family, and the things to be prepared are doubled. Liu Chenghan is planning to buy a carriage by himself, because the carriages given by the government are not covered, and he is not good at covering them. He wants to rest and eat on the road. Leave it to Zhou Hongmei to bother.

Liu Chenghan delivered something to Zhou Chunguang's house, and was on his way home when Liu Chengyi stopped him.

"Liu Chenghan." Liu Chengyi shouted, he wanted to call the third brother, but after all, they had never been close, so they couldn't call out this one, only their names.

"Liu Chengyi." Liu Chenghan said.Of course, he didn't have the consciousness to call him Second Brother, and there was no one around here, so there was no need to pretend to be brothers and sisters.

Liu Chengyi opened his mouth twice, but he couldn't speak to Liu Chenghan's face, so he simply knelt down, "I have something to ask for your help."

Liu Chenghan was startled abruptly, and quickly helped him up. "You have something to say, why are you kneeling?"

"I know you're going to Zhibian to farm this time. I want to ask you for one thing. My Suihua wants to go to Jiaxing Pass with me, but I don't worry about him being alone. I want him to go with you." Liu Chengyi sincerely Said, "He brought his own dry food for the salute, as long as I trouble you to take care of him."

"Are you willing?" Liu Chenghan said.

"It doesn't matter whether he is willing or not. The one who wants to be a soldier is me, and the one who wants to follow me is my husband." Liu Chengyi said, "I know that I have offended you before. I apologize to you. You help me this time." This is a favor, if you need me in the future, you just ask me, and I have nothing to say."

"It's not a big deal to go along." Liu Chenghan said, "It's just that you have to coordinate well at home. If someone says that I kidnapped your husband and ran away in the future, then I can't bear it."

"No, don't worry." Liu Chengyi said, seeing that Liu Chenghan meant to agree, he hurriedly thanked him.

Liu Chenghan went back and told Zhou Hongmei about it. "Is it really different if you get married?" Liu Chenghan said with emotion, "In the past, I only thought Liu Chengyi was a person who spoke yin and yang, and he looked very gloomy, but now he can speak so loudly and loudly. Lang is also willing to kneel down and beg with me, he is a real man."

"His husband is going, so can he also replace the soldiers with farmers." Zhou Hongmei said, "It's no problem for us to take care of it, but in the long run it's better for them to live by themselves. I really don't get used to our two families. What about intimacy?"

"It's hard to say now. After all, he didn't go with his whole family. If he wants to take a husband to replace him, then everyone will take his husband." Liu Chenghan said, "When I get to the ground, I will move around and see if I can turn him around." .”

"Today, the daughter-in-law is also going to Jiaxing Pass, and she is a mighty family," Zhou Hongmei said.

"Are they sure they're going?" Liu Chenghan just came back, and Liu Hanqing hadn't had time to tell him, so he wasn't sure.

"It is said that it is fixed, and I signed up at Lizheng." Zhou Hongmei said, "He came to ask me what to bring, and I said that I also had a headache, and I had to bring everything. What if I need it? , I want to bring them all, I don’t know how many carriages I need.”

"Keep it simple." Liu Chenghan said. "It's a burden to bring too much. There are so many people going, it seems that I have to buy another car. There must be a lot of wind, food and sleep. Hey-headache."
