"Lin, where are you going?"

Hanzhong County, Shangyong County, Xiahe Village!

Fortunately, I am playing with a small pedal waterwheel at the end of the field, and now it is the middle of summer that is about to pass, and autumn is approaching, and it is time to irrigate the fields and turn them over one or two, speaking of which, this pedal waterwheel is really good.

As long as you step on the pedal with your foot, the waterwheel will keep spinning, introducing the water from the canal on the edge of the field into the field, and you don't need to use a wooden barrel to pick it up, saving trouble and effort.

Now, an hour has passed, five acres of land have been watered, and the harvest in recent years has been good, and the county has awarded a public plaque to his family, and given several acres of land, quite complacent.

Now my brother is serving as a soldier in the Lantian camp, and he can't say that he will be able to make contributions in the future, so the family can get up, but unfortunately, he is the only male in the family, although he is seventeen years old, but according to the legal principles of the Qin State, he cannot join the army.

Although it is not bad to play with the land, I always feel that it is different from other old Qin people, and I am trying my best to step on the waterwheel, while looking around boringly, looking at a partner in the same village, looking at his new clothes, I can't help but ask curiously.

On weekdays, everyone is talking about shabby clothes, where is willing to wear this set of linen woven robes.

"Luckily, you don't know?"

"The village elders have decided to let all the men over the age of 14 in Xiahe Village gather at the entrance of the village for drill selection, and if they are in the top five, they can go to Shangyong County for the next step of selection."

"Then I will enter the selection of the county town, and in the end, it seems that I will go to Xianyang City to participate in the selection."

Lin, who is also from Xiahe Village, received the news yesterday that he was going to the village square today to conduct exercises and selections to determine the strong ones, and then he was going to a school palace in Xianyang.

Anyway, that's what the townsfolk said, listening to the townspeople, that school palace is very amazing, as long as you can enter, stay for three years, you will be a hairpin title, and you will be a centurion when you join the army, and there is no intrusion of life and death on the battlefield.

Tsk, the title of hairpin, that is the third level of the Great Qin title, in the entire Xiahe Village, there are only village elders, as for the centurion in the army, Xiahe Village has not appeared for ten years.

The townsfolk will not lie to them, so today I want to try, I can't say that I can enter the school palace, three years later, I will directly add the title of hairpin, even if I join the army, it is also a centurion position.

But looking at Xing's appearance, he didn't seem to know, and he couldn't help but be a little curious.

"Murakou selection?"

"Why don't I know, how to practice the selection?"

Fortunately, I really don't know, I have been busy watering the heavens and the earth in the past two days, where would I hear such news, but since it was the decision of the villagers, why didn't my father and mother tell me.

As he spoke, the movement under his feet stopped, and his eyes fell on Lin's body.

"Yesterday, the villager should have informed your family, I guess my uncle and aunt forgot, or will you go with me now?"

Lin doesn't know much, it stands to reason that he didn't join the army, there shouldn't be so many rules, and he looked at Xing as if he didn't know anything, and on a whim, he said.

Although Xing's physique is also good, compared to himself, he is not a threat at all, so Lin is completely sure that he can rank in the top five, and then go to participate in the county's drill selection.

"Why don't I go back and ask now?"

Fortunately, some people are not convinced, but recently, the memory of my father and mother is indeed a little bad, and I can't say that I forgot it, and I want to go with Lin, but I am afraid that my father and mother will worry.

"Don't ask, it's time later, and the villagers will be there if they want to come."

Lin hurriedly waved his hand, it was already late enough for him to go out, and if he waited for Xing to come back from home, the time would have passed.

"Okay, let's do it together."

Fortunately, after thinking about it, he felt that this was the truth, and immediately, he got off the waterwheel, took his straw sandals from the side, put them on his feet, trotted two steps, and appeared on the side of the forest.

******

Sure enough, when he and Lin went to the village entrance square together, there were already many people gathered there, all of them were from Xingxiahe Village, and they were all very familiar with each other, and many men who were about the same age as themselves were also there, although not all of them appeared.

"Lin, are you here?"

The young men stayed together automatically, there were more than ten people in total, and the one who looked stronger was a man named Zhuang, who fortunately knew him, a year older than him, and they were not old when the government recruited soldiers last time.

I don't know what's going on now?

Is it the government that continues to conscript? But I haven't heard of any major battles recently, a few months ago, the war against Zhao Guo did not suffer heavy losses, and it was not the soldiers of the Lantian battalion that were dispatched.

And the drill selection that I heard Lin say just now has never happened before.

"Luckily, why are you here too, I remember you should be watering the fields?"

The partners in the same village looked at the fortunate existence around Lin, and couldn't help but say strangely.

"Aren't you here too?"

Fortunately, I was puzzled.

"Haha, of course we can come, we have two brothers in our family, and now my age is seventeen years old, according to what the villager said yesterday, I can participate in the selection of the Great Qin Protector Palace."

"However, I heard that there are very few places, and only a thousand people in the entire Qin Kingdom can be selected, and the people who are selected can meet the king, I have grown so big, I have never seen the king."

"Fortunately, your brother is now in the Lantian camp, according to what the villager said yesterday, entering the Great Qin Protectorate Palace can also be regarded as joining the army, so you should not be suitable."

The companion responded with a laugh on the side, if there was no such request, it is estimated that there will be more than 30 people in the entire Xiahe Village today, not more than 10 people now.

Regarding the benefits of being able to enter the Great Qin Protectorate Academy, the villagers also told them yesterday that as long as they can stay for three years, they can have the title of hairpin, and they can join the army as a centurion.

It's really good!

It's just that the number of places is a little too small, and it would be great if there was no selection like the last national government conscription, as long as the age teeth are reached, as long as the physique is normal.

"Well, it seems like that."

"Luckily, I forgot."

Lin was a little embarrassed, listening to his companion's words, he suddenly remembered, it seemed that he had such a little request, and immediately, he said to Xing a little embarrassed.

"I see, no wonder my father and mother didn't say anything to me."

"Since it can be regarded as joining the army, then I really don't qualify, Lin, Zhuang, and Le ......, there are only a thousand places in the entire Qin Kingdom, you must win one!"

Xing looked a little disappointed, and thought that there was something good to be encountered by him, but he didn't expect it to be like this, but since he didn't meet the requirements, he could only watch them participate in the selection, and the entire Qin State only selected a thousand people, which was too difficult.

They are only from the village, whether it is food or practice, I am afraid that they are not as good as those people in the county, and I don't know if anyone can be selected in the village of Xiahe.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Not far away, an old leather drum sounded in the village, and the villager with white hair was stepping forward.

Hearing this, Lin and the others also ran over, and the drill and selection were about to begin.

"After receiving the order from the county, in each village, there must be five strong men to go to the county to participate in the selection of the Great Qin Protectorate Palace."

"I think you all know what I said yesterday, although the Great Qin Protector Academy is not in the army, it is almost the same as the army, but as long as you stay in the palace for three years, you can not only learn the strategies of the soldiers, but also learn the martial arts."

"You can also get the title of hairpin, if you join the army, you will be a centurion directly, it can be seen that the king values the Protector Palace, you are all good children of Xiahe Village, I hope you can win one of the thousand places!"

The voice of the villager is not loud, but it can still be heard at close range.

Hearing this, Xing was even more envious in his heart, no wonder Lin was so happy today, no wonder they were so happy, they were able to learn the strategies of the soldiers in the Xue Palace, that was a rumored thing.

As for the martial arts exercises, they are also rumored things, and as for the title, it is unheard of to have not participated in the battle to kill the enemy's head...... The number of places is still too small, and there are millions of people in the entire Qin State.

"Moreover, after the training and selection are completed, we will also pick out some smart children in Xiahe Village and send them to the county to study and read for three months, and the state government will cover them."

"When the time comes, if you get the favor of the adults in the county, it is possible to go and participate in the selection of the Great Qin Central School Palace, which is different from the Great Qin Protector Palace, you can be an official if you stay in the Great Qin Central School Palace for three years."

"Until then, our village will ask someone to teach you how to read for ten days, and whoever knows the most and writes the best can go."

After talking about the matter of the Great Qin Protector Academy, the villagers were also a little envious in their hearts, as long as they stayed for three years, they would be able to have a knighthood, which would be better, if it was if they had the Academy Palace when they were young.

The words fell, and the conversation changed, and it fell to another matter, which was the matter of the Daqin Central School Palace, and it was also ordered by the county, knowing that few people in the village were literate, in order to choose some suitable for reading, so they would go to the county to educate one or two first.

In three months, you can see who is smart and smart, and when the time comes, you will go to the county town to participate in the selection, go to Xianyang for the selection, and you can become an official when you come out, which is also quite good.

"There are more people recruited by the Great Qin Central Academy, and there are 1,800 people in the entire Qin State, so if someone from a family member joins the army like Xing, he can also participate in the selection, as for whether he can be selected, it depends on your own ability."

That's all the villagers can do, whether there is a Protector School Palace in the village, or the Central School Palace, the county has said it, it is quite a great credit, and it can be included in the county chronicle.

Tsk, living so big, if his name can appear in the county chronicles, it will be a name for eternity, thinking of this, the village elder looked at the children in the village more and more kindly, and his eyes fell on Xing's body, this child knows himself, is a good child.

Thinking about appearing here today, I also have some interest in the Protector Palace, but ...... His brother has already joined the army and has lost his selection qualifications, and the Central Academy can still consider one or two.
