The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Only [-]% of the fifth army battalion has been reorganized, and [-]% of the empty salary has already been taken up.Jarvis looked at the admiral Xin Huaizheng with neither laughter nor laughter: "The general must be rich, and this alone is a huge income every month." Xin Huaizheng's face was flushed.Jarvis asked seriously, "Are there still many old, weak, sick and disabled in the future?"

Xin Huaizheng smiled and said: "Some children from military households are already very tall at a young age; and even the old soldiers who have the sword are not inferior to the young."

"Oh." Jarvis glanced at him, "Then do they get paid the same as ordinary soldiers?"

Xin Huaizheng took a few breaths, and simply said: "Since the general knows, why bother to ask the question?"

Jarvis shrugged: "Anyway, that is a thing of the past. From now on, this item will be gone."

Xin Huaizheng answered "yes" dejectedly.After a long while, he said again: "Then... how do they deal with it?"

"How to deal with it." Jarvis said, "The young ones are sent to school, and the old ones retire, and they will have pension insurance soon. Those who are not strong enough go to the training center to learn other skills and change their careers to fight for the country of Yan. In a few months, the reform of the household department will even abolish military households.”

Xin Huai said anxiously: "If the military household is abolished, who will be willing to serve as a soldier!"

Jarvis said leisurely: "Soldiers are paid, and the army provides food, lodging, clothes, shoes and socks. Are you afraid that no young people will come?" I won't tell you about the belief in defending the family and the country.

Xin Huaizheng was really anxious this time, he stood up and cupped his fists and said: "General Jia, please also report to Prime Minister Lin, the military household system must never be abolished, otherwise Yan's soldiers will be gone in an instant."

How could Jarvis not know what he was thinking?He laughed and said, "Don't worry, before Jia Lian, the magistrate, came to Taiwan, there were no military households in Taiwan at all, and there are none now. Guangdong and Guangxi had quietly canceled military households 11 years ago, but they didn't tell the world. Ping'an Prefecture also abolished it nine years ago. It’s a military household. Yan State is much bigger than Ping’an Prefecture, and it’s still uncertain which one will win in a fight between the Yan Army and the Ping’an Army.”

Xin Huai's face was ashen, and he stumbled and said: "Yan State is different from Ping'an Prefecture, I hope the regent and the prime minister think twice!"

Jarvis wondered: "What's the difference? The two places are adjacent to each other and the common people are the same. It's just that the soldiers' pay and equipment are different."

"No, no!" Xin Huai's coat was soaked with sweat, "It's not sure what the mess will be."

Jarvis waved his hand: "Don't worry, General Xin, I will stand up for the sky falling. Besides, soldiers take obeying orders as their bounden duty. The government's policy is originally decided by the Political Affairs Office, so we just have to follow it."

Xin Huai was thinking of Lin Daiyu's attack on princes as soon as he took office, and Jarvis' reorganization of the military system without mercy. Knowing that the two of them are ruthless characters who don't give people face, they gradually became depressed.After a long time, he let out a long sigh: "...I hope Prime Minister Lin thinks twice."

Jarvis smiled and said: "I thought twice about it more than ten years ago. I spent five years in the Taiwan government, and then gradually extended it to Guangdong, Guangxi and Ping'an Prefecture after gaining experience. Now the whole system is very mature." Xin Huaizheng said Don't even sigh.

After Jarvis and the others left the camp, Shen Zhimo couldn't help asking: "General, why did General Xin hear that the abolition of military households is like killing parents."

Jarvis laughed dumbfounded: "That's right, blocking someone's money is like killing your parents."

"what?"

Liu Zhuang said: "This Xin Huaizheng's family has more fields than the Yanwang Mansion, but half an acre of land is not sold. Guess why?"

Shen Zhimo blinked: "I can't guess."

"Military households have been in the army for generations, and they are not allowed to do other things. The Fifth Army Battalion is not as elite as the Shenji Battalion. Your lord will send people over to look at it from time to time, so there are many tricks that can make you money." Jarvis said, "Yes Empty salary is one kind, and less military training is another kind.”

Shen Zhimo said "Oh": "I see! This Xin Huaizheng does not train soldiers on weekdays, but only sends his soldiers to cultivate his fields. Therefore, he does not have to sell a lot of land, let alone hire tenants - he has a lot of mature labor .”

"That's right." Jarvis nodded, "If the military households are abolished, will they still have to do farm work for him, and have to let him take away most of the soldiers' wages? It's better to work as a tenant farmer for a rich family than to work under him for nothing. .”

Shen Zhimo said in disgust: "Why didn't this stinky general fuck him?"

Jarvis smiled and said, "There's no rush. He's about to hang his seal and resign."

Liu Zhuang said: "I'm afraid that the people in the land will have a lot of money to make."

Shen Zhimo is young, not as transparent as the two of them.He frowned and thought for a while: "Just because the soldiers can no longer do farm work for nothing, he doesn't even want to be a general? I don't understand the logic. He has been in Beijing for many years and has been familiar with everywhere, so why?"

Liu Zhuang said with a smile: "It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, and difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. When Lin Xiangyi said that taxes should be collected, how many princes and princes' mansions sold the fields of Yan Kingdom and bought them in other countries with money? Although Xin Huaizheng Greed is indeed a tiger, and if you switch to another country, you will not worry about being accepted."

Shen Zhimo hurriedly said: "Amitabha, let him go quickly, so as not to cause harm to other countries." Everyone laughed, and the horse stepped back into the sunset.

Liu Zhuang was right.The two things of eating empty salary and abolishing military households were added together, and Xin Huaizheng's income from the family was wiped out in the blink of an eye, leaving only his little salary.His whole family has long been used to enjoying life, and it is absolutely difficult to live frugally.This person made a quick decision, went home and discussed with his parents and brothers, and wrote letters to the special envoys of Jin, Wu, Qi, and Shu at the same time that night.The four special envoys didn't know that the Yan State was about to abolish military households, and they were all a bit surprised, so the four sent people to SHIELD to buy news.

It was already late when the people of Qi State arrived, just in time for Liu Zhuang to go home.Liu Zhuang thought that the strategy of Jia Cong and others for Qiguo was to wait for them to fall on their own, so he said with a smile: "Is this news still worth buying? The Yan army has been reorganized, and the military power is in the hands of Jarvis and his subordinates. Xin Huaizheng The admiral of the Fifth Army Battalion is already in name only."

The man had an epiphany: "So it is."

Liu Xiaoqi glared at his nephew: "Stinky boy! How can you do business like this." Liu Zhuang made a face and ran to the back.

Before the reorganization of the Fifth Army Battalion was finished, Xin Huaizheng had already received the news that the State of Qi welcomed him.On the surface, this person still accompanied Jarvis in reorganization, and his family quietly sold the fields in the suburbs of Beijing.It wasn't until the Fifth Army Battalion was completely reorganized that it became known that there were as many as [-]% of the vacant salary, plus the old, weak, sick and disabled, the actual combat strength was not even half of what was listed on the name tag.Jarvis looked at Xin Huaizheng for a long time with a half-smile, and left without saying a word.

Three days later, Mr. Teacher entered the Fifth Army Battalion across the board.Xin Huaizheng wrote to the regent to resign, and recruited more than a dozen generals from the Fifth Army Battalion.Jia Cong smiled and agreed with everything: "It's easy to leave."

The [-] battalion was small and elite, and with the experience of the previous Shenji battalion, they were quickly taken down.So far, the Beijing army has completely fallen into the hands of Jarvis.Then the Fafang started to reorganize the Yulin Army.

The Yulin Army originally had [-] soldiers, but when King Yan was in power, it was expanded to [-], and he was dismantled by the third son of his own family.The third son's personal army battalion will be formed for several months, and people's hearts are uncertain, and Jia Cong has been incorporated when he entered Beijing.There are also [-] firearms camps, which have already been incorporated.The Imperial Forest Army still has [-] guard battalions and [-] infantry battalions.There are also many vacancies and old, weak, sick and disabled in these.

On this day, Shi Xiangyun led his wives and grandmothers to hold a charity auction, and Yao Shi, the third grandmother of Xu Hanlin's family, came again.She didn't want to come, but the grandma wanted to know Qin Keqing through her Dongfeng, so she asked her to come with her.Qin Keqing was not prepared to come.Hearing that Mrs. Yao is coming, she also came.

When the two met, Yao's body was obviously rounder than before, Qin Keqing couldn't help laughing: "It's a bit richer."

Yao said with a smile: "Eating and sleeping all day, I'm so busy." Nai glanced at her sister-in-law, hesitating how to speak.

Qin Keqing looked at Grandma Xu with a smile: "Who is this?"

Yao said hurriedly, "This is my sister-in-law, and her father is Gao Hanlin."

"It turned out to be Gao Hanlin's daughter. Your two Hanlins are no longer in the same family as Hanlin." Qin Keqing talked to Gao with a smile on his face.Yao shi sat beside him, occasionally interjecting a word or two.

After a while, Qin Keqing invited Yao Shi to accompany her for a walk.Gao said: "She is inconvenient, I should go with Qin Dong's house."

Qin Keqing said: "It's been three months for her, the fetus is stable, it's time to move around. I'm going to talk to her about things that should be paid attention to recently." Gao could only smile sarcastically.

The weather was getting warmer, Qin Keqing helped Yao Shi go outside for a while.Seeing no one around, she said with a smile: "I'm here to inform Expert Yao of the progress. General Jarvis has successfully reorganized the third battalion of the Beijing Army, and the rest are some guards. It was incorporated when the Regent came to Beijing in [-], and now Jarvis is organizing the guard barracks."

Yao Shi was surprised: "So fast? I heard from my natal brother that Xin Huaizheng, the admiral of the Fifth Army Battalion, resigned."

"That's right." Qin Keqing said, "After the reorganization, he can no longer eat the empty salary he used to eat, and he can't order soldiers to help his family farm. His family has a lot of fields. Where can we find so many tenants? I don't want to plant them. If you have to pay heavy taxes, it is not worthwhile to stay in Yan State. The regent happily sent him to Qi State to harm the Qi army."

Yao was stunned, and said after a while, "So that's the reason. Why are there rumors that General Jarvis excludes dissidents?"

Qin Keqing said: "Because Xin Huaizheng and others haven't left yet. What if the Qi State hears the truth and refuses to accept him? When he arrives in Qi State and gets a military post, someone will clarify for Jarvis."

Yao shi couldn't help laughing: "General Jia is wronged."

Qin Keqing looked at her and said, "Mo Xiao. How about translating Sanskrit for me after he finishes reorganizing the infantry battalion?"

Yao said bluntly: "I also don't understand those barracks. Seeing General Jia's intention, it's obvious that it won't be impossible. I'm bored with idle time, and now I can work for Shopkeeper Qin."

"That's a good relationship." Qin Keqing said happily, "I'll send someone to send you the materials tomorrow."

"it is good."

The next day, Qin Keqing sent a little girl to the Xu Mansion to deliver materials to Yao Shi.Yao shi is really bored these days, yesterday she made a detour to her natal home to fetch some Sanskrit books from her grandfather's study.He was very happy to see this little girl, and asked her to sit down, and asked her name, age, and what she was doing at Qin Dong's house.

The little girl answered one by one.Her name is He Xiaonan, she was originally an orphan, she was raised in Yangsheng Tang since she was a child.Later, she entered Tsinghua Charity Women's School to study, and her name was all given by the principal, Jia Anniang.After graduating last year, Qin Keqing was picked out of school, and now she is in charge of clerical work in the Preparatory Office of the Palace Museum.What I sent today are Sanskrit rubbings and Sanskrit charcoal copies on some utensils.

When Yao saw that the copy was as fine as silk and lifelike, he couldn't help praising: "Good painting!"

He Xiaonan said: "Our Researcher Nie drew this."

Yao Shi has noticed that there are three characters in the corner of the painting, Nie Chunhui.Although it is a charcoal character, it is very strong, and praised: "I also bought charcoal to use it. Although it is convenient, it is difficult to write good characters. This researcher Nie can use charcoal to draw and write. It’s really rare that the words are so good.”

He Xiaonan smiled and said: "What is this? Don't think he is young. He is the most talented and knowledgeable person in our museum. He knows everything. He knows all kinds of antiques from which dynasty, what they were used for, and what stories they used. .” She paused, “I just don’t know Sanskrit.”

Yao shi laughed and said, "You little girl has a sweet mouth."

He Xiaonan took out another letter: "Ms. Yao, because your job is connected with Researcher Nie, in order to communicate cheaply, the two of you will inevitably have correspondence in the future. This is a letter from him. It is considered to be a letter." call."

The letter was never sealed, so Yao took it out and read it.Although what I said was just a cliché like "I hope you don't hesitate to enlighten me", the literary talent is not vulgar, neither humble nor overbearing, and the allusions are exquisite.Yao secretly praised in her heart: I don't know if this is Miss Nie or Grandma Nie, she is really talented.It's ridiculous that I thought that my talent was rare in the boudoir, but it turned out that I was just a frog at the bottom of the well.I don't know if I may see her true face in the future.Thinking about it again, when his child is born, he will at least be able to recognize her.Nai smiled and looked at the channel: "Please tell this researcher Nie that I am not talented enough to deserve such praise from her. Although I know a little Sanskrit..." She laughed again, "Forget it, I will write back to her." Congratulations Xiao Nan hurriedly rolled up her sleeves to grind for Yao Shi, and Yao Shi took a piece of paper from the desk and wrote back the letter.When the ink was dry, He Xiaonan left the information and left with a reply letter.

All of a sudden, the maids around Yao shi gathered around, curious to see those paintings.Yao asked them to be more careful.Even though the maids couldn't read, they were amazed at the painting.One asked, "Who painted this painting?"

Yao said: "It's a woman, not very old." He sighed, "I'm not as far away as her. You know there are people."

On the other side, He Xiaonan returned to the Forbidden City with the letter, went straight to find a secluded courtyard, and shouted: "Researcher Nie~~" No one answered.

Walking into the room, there is a young man in his 27s, wearing a white coat borrowed from a military doctor, wearing fashionable gold-rimmed glasses on his face, and holding a magnifying glass in his hand to carefully look at a piece of blue and white porcelain.He Xiaonan didn't dare to disturb him, and stood beside him for half a day.The young man put down his magnifying glass and said slowly, "Don't call me Researcher Nie, I'm so weird. Just call me Nie Chun."

He Xiaonan couldn't help laughing and said, "Your reflex arc can go around the earth three times!" Then he took out the letter, "Here, a letter from Aunt Yao, a Sanskrit expert."

Nie Chun took the letter and took a look. This Sanskrit expert was not only an expert in Sanskrit, but also an expert in Chinese.Really good literary talent.Besides, didn't it mean that the women of these families are extremely feudal and closed, and don't tell outsiders their names?Why did she sign her boudoir name?Jiazhen, a good name.
