51 I want to be a soldier!

"Please, little sir. We don't have any land left. Although I don't have to worry about eating. But do we have something to do? A woman said while pestering the two dogs. They know that Ergou is the so-called Minister of Civil Affairs, who is in charge of some things in the workshop, and they want to find a good so-called thing to do for their men, or for themselves, so that they can not only get rations, but also have rich money, which can be saved and renovated, so that they can live a good life and marry a daughter-in-law for their children in the future.

"yes. Tell your chief, little sir, that we peasant women can do some things too. Your party is full of men, eating, and mending the garments. Wash the thing of washing. We're all good at it. The other women said.

"Oh, auntie, aunts, it's not that I don't agree to this matter, but that I can't be the master, and the matter of the paper mill has to be told by our chief." Ergou said excitedly that he is almost doing a lot of things now, because he will come to him every day to do things, and some rich families in other villages come to borrow land, how much they want, and the reclamation team has reclaimed about 500 acres of land, and it has been borrowed all at once. The follow-up land is in the process of being predetermined, and the surrounding land has also begun to enter a state of land concentration under the operation of the Agricultural Bank. The affluent labor force is becoming more and more numerous, not only young and middle-aged laborers, but also calculating peasant women. 、

"Little sir, you have decided to leave us, we can do the work done by men." Women give full play to their linguistic advantages, which makes Ergou a little uncontrollable.

"Look, sir, our chief is over there, go find our chief." Ergou suddenly saw Shangwu. Shang Wu solved several weapon inventions, and the situation was quite good, but he also wanted to solve some other problems, such as cavalry, cavalry has a natural advantage over infantry, this advantage is altitude, speed is superiority, and mobility far exceeds the combat effect of infantry. Shang Wu already had an idea in this regard, and he wanted to build up his cavalry troops.

In this era, cavalry generally still did not have stirrups. The combat skills of the cavalry require a lot of training to complete, and there are only a few peasants in the hands of the warriors, who obviously do not have such conditions, but stirrups can greatly reduce their learning time on horseback, and he can also solve this problem in other ways. The saddle, as well as the improvements on the horse's horse, can greatly increase the combat potential of the cavalry.

"Sir, sir, help me." Just when Shang Wu was thinking about it, Ergou ran over all of a sudden.

"What's wrong?" Shangwu asked.

"Sir, sir, look at us, we can also do some work, sewing and mending, washing and washing things, we women are the most capable. We don't want much, sir, for a month, we only need half a stone of grain. Just take care of a meal. "The women gathered around Shangwu.

"Wait, what's the matter? Take your time. Shang Wu asked at this time.

But the women were still very noisy, and it took a great deal of effort for Shangwu to calm them down. He also figured out the reason for the incident. It turned out that the women of ancient times were idle, and at this time there was no confinement like the Three Platforms and Five Constants. The woman still has a certain status and autonomy. This solved a lot of trouble for Shangwu.

"Oh. I know you. You're looking for some work, some food and money, right? Shang Wu asked.

"Yes, sir, we can do anything, and for the sake of us people who can still do some strength, let's do something." A lot of people talk about it.

The concentration of land and the large-scale intensive cultivation of crops will inevitably bring about an increase in the efficiency of food production, and another effect of this increase in efficiency is that there is a large surplus of labor, and the surplus labor capacity needs intensive labor enterprises to accept them. Otherwise, because you don't get a suitable job, many things will inevitably go the other way, which is a lesson learned in the process of human development.

"Alright. I know what you can do, and your men, come here and sign up, and I will arrange some work for you, and the remuneration varies from half a stone to three stones a month. If you do a good job, there will be a reward. Shang Wu said at this time.

"Oh, sir, that's great. That's great. This has helped us a lot. The women were glad to do so. They couldn't be happier. This means that their lives will be greatly improved, their taxes will be much lighter, they will be able to get adequate food rations, and they feel that life has never been better.

"Alright. All right. Hurry up and spread the news, go to the big tree at the entrance of the East Village to register, men, women and children, you can come. All are welcome. Shang Wu said. Shang Wu thought that this was the earliest employment registration agency, which could be regarded as the most suitable work arrangement. Although this will not improve the efficiency of personnel for a while, it can at least solve a big problem. Under Shang Wu's arrangement, many people left here happily. They told the neighbors to come here and gather in a hurry.

"Sir, you've given me a big problem again, and this matter hasn't been resolved, this." Ergou is miserable now, he has a lot of things, digging tunnels, workshop production, as well as material reserves, registration, storage, he feels that he has never been so busy, he has used more than fifty people's helpers. But I still feel that I have lost two pairs of legs and two hands.

"Hehe, look at you're busy, you can't handle this little thing well, just use a few more people. If we want to solve the problem, we must employ more people, and we must also pay attention to the cultivation of talents. Your solution is too stupid. Shang Wu said.

"Forget it. I'll solve some of these things, you can just look at it. I'll add more to you if needed. Shang Wu said. After all, there are still many people in this era who have never read, and there are too few people who read in the hands of Shang Wu, and there are too few experienced government affairs handlers in this area, and many things can only be handed over to those second-in-command to solve, which is a very difficult thing for Shang Wu. But for now, it seems that Shangwu will face such a situation for a long time, and sometimes, it is really difficult to solve.

Shang Wu summoned five trainees who did not read and write much in advance to serve as officials, that is, Shang Wu's government managers, and they had to allocate personnel according to a certain direction of employment, such as the age, gender, and labor skills of the other party. to make the allocation.

Shangwu decided to set up a textile factory in advance, especially for the women to do some of the things they could, such as clothes, pockets, and some military equipment, they could weave linen and make shoes, these things were so needed by the martial soldiers. They need uniform uniforms, straps, backpacks. There are also shoes, these are a lot of consumables, in some companies, Shang Wu found that some soldiers were wearing straw sandals, and even more, they were barefoot, this was still in the summer, if it entered the winter, the situation would be even more serious, Shang Wu had to solve the matter in advance.

Textile factory. In addition to this, there is also the construction team, which will build more houses. This necessitates the burning of bricks. As long as the temperature is well controlled, this problem can be solved. Shangwu wants to rebuild more houses, because the population is large, the family members who have been snatched back from the hands of the Yellow Turban Army still live in tents, some do not even have tents, the people's homes are very crowded, a place of less than 50 square meters, there are 30 people, if it rains, many people can only sit and sleep, or simply go to the tunnel to sleep. This will only increase the chance of disease, which is extremely undesirable, and Shangwu will never let his own people do such a thing.

Therefore, the construction industry also needs a lot of manpower, in addition, there are blacksmiths, people with strength, who will enter the arsenal, and people with good minds will also enter it. In fact, Shang Wu was carrying out a redistribution of the social division of labor, because the number of people in agriculture was much reduced. Then there is the right transportation, Ah Niu's transport team also needs personnel, he needs a large number of breeding personnel, after all, he can't take care of it alone. A lot of cattle in the convoy have been loaned out. Although they will come back, it still makes Ah Niu feel a lot of pain, but he also has happy moments, because there are still many horses by his side.

Soon, a large number of villagers gathered here, many of whom were from the vicinity, and they also joined the centralized disposal of the agricultural bank's land, and in their opinion, the new government did all this exactly what they wanted.

They patiently lined up, registered, and were then assigned to various production areas. In order for them to be better cared for, or to work more meticulously, they will be given a carpenter with their name, age, gender, and type of work written on it. Of course. There are still words that can't be written, and Hu Zhao and Shangwu have to run over to help them write it. After all, it's still very difficult to get someone who knows a few hundred words to deal with such a thing.

"I don't, I don't go. I don't go to dig tunnels, engineering team, I'm going to be a soldier. At this time, a teenager said angrily, he ** upper body, full of muscles. He seems to be a powerful man in the village.

"You kid, why are you disobedient?" A man in his thirties said angrily. As he spoke, he wanted to raise his hand to fight, but he seemed to be distressed and couldn't do it. In ancient times, people generally married very early, and they could get married at the age of sixteen. In their thirties, some may have already held their grandchildren. It's hard to believe, but that's what it is.

"Let's go and reason with the chief. Ask the chief if he wants you. With that, the other party took the boy and came to Shangwu.

"Hehe, what's going on?" Shangwu asked.

"I want to be a soldier, I want to be a Red Turban Army. Kill those in the government. The young man said this, and it seemed that he had a great complaint against the government.

"Oh. That's why you became a soldier? Shang Wu asked, he thought the other party was very interesting.

"Hmm. Sir, my father is an honest man, this government is not a person, why do we have to pay more food every time, this food is our own family, we can't eat it ourselves, and we have to give it to them, why do they bully us, I can't get used to people like them, I want to be a soldier and kill them. The young man said angrily, it seems that the other party is a very anxious person.

"You kid. You. I'm. The man said anxiously.

"How old are you?" Shangwu asked.

"Sixteen." The boy said.

"You're only fifteen this year." The man said.

"What's the difference, fifteen can't be a soldier?" The boy said stubbornly.

"What I have is strength, I do all the work in the field, sir, take me." The boy pleaded.

"It doesn't matter if you're fifteen or sixteen, I can't accept it here." Shang Wen shook his head and said.

"This, this is great. Thank you, sir, thank you. When the man heard Shangwu's words, he was very surprised.

"Why, sir, don't you need people? I, I have strength. The other party said anxiously.

"I have stipulated that we can only recruit soldiers over the age of eighteen. You, there is still a lot of difference, you can come back in a few years. Shang Wu said.

"No, no, sir, I beg you, I, I'm going to be a soldier. Otherwise, I won't let you go, sir, I, I'll follow you. The boy was so clever that he hugged Shangwu's leg and shouted loudly.

"This. You brat. The man said excitedly.

"Sir. This. "Men are also very difficult.

"You can also be accepted, but you have to endure hardships, learn things, use your brain, you can enter the officer training class, study for a few years and then come out. If you don't pass the study, you still can't. Shang Wu thought about it and thought of a compromise plan.

"What." The boy jumped up excitedly.

"You can enter the army, but you have to enter the officer training course, you may go to battle, but most of it is to watch, it's in a safe place, you need to learn a lot of knowledge, if you can't accept it, it's hard for you to get into the army." Shang Wu said.

"After all, you're too young. Only fifteen years old. Fifteen years old, still a half-old child. Shang Wu said.

"Sir, I, I do it, I can learn, I can endure any hardship, isn't it just reading and reading? My dad would have dreamed of letting me do this, I, I'd do it. In fact, the boy said, he was afraid to read, but he felt that he could learn to be a soldier. Acceptable.

"Well, okay then, you can go over there and report." Shang Wu said.
