Chapter 923: Chang'an is full of moon, the beloved leaves the expedition (4)
The so-called military soldiers in the government serve the people in peacetime and in wartime; soldiers do not know generals, generals do not know soldiers.
The household registration of the military soldiers is controlled by the military government, which is also called the Zhechong Mansion. The word Zhechong is taken from the ancient word "Zhechong between the wine and the wine", which means victory without fighting.
During peacetime, the soldiers of the government cultivated land and carried out daily training under the leadership of General Zhechong; when the war broke out, the imperial court sent other generals to gather troops from various places to fight. The soldiers of the government generally could not stay outside for a long time, and rarely fought on expeditions, and they could not change the original garrison at will.
The biggest feature of the government soldiers is that they have their own bows, arrows, clothes and food, which cannot be supplied by the state.
When the government troops were invaded, except for heavy weapons and war horses provided by the state, everything else should be raised by themselves.
The personal wealth of the government soldiers mainly includes seven things and food, including: patronage, quilt, supplies, bows, arrows, saddles and bridles, and tools.
In "Mulan", Hua Hu, who is seriously ill, is a soldier in the palace. When there is no male member of the Hua family, Hua Hu will be ordered to go to war even if he is seriously ill. Therefore, Mulan has the helplessness of joining the army for her father.
The military system of the palace was a military service system that began to emerge during the Western Wei Dynasty. It was continued to be used in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Sui Dynasty, and early Tang Dynasty. In the middle, it was hated by Wu Zetian until it was abolished during the Tianbao period of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, and the recruitment system was implemented, which lasted about two hundred years.
I have to say that Zhen Youcai is lucky.
As the eldest son of his family, he was most likely to inherit his father's business. During the Wude period, the Tang Dynasty shared worries inside and outside, but it lasted for nine years. How many soldiers died on the battlefield, and how many wives and children were separated.
Zhen Youcai was just a weak scholar at that time. After several failures in the scientific examination, he had to carry the iron spear left by his father.
But in the end, Zhen Youcai still did not go to the battlefield because his younger brother, who was five years younger, secretly changed his military clan to his own name.
In the most luxurious seafood restaurant on the third floor of Vientiane City.
A few little guys ate the meal and frightened the maid and servant who came in.
Zhen Youcai looked at it with a smile, and from time to time he picked up orders of food in his nephew's bowl.
"It's delicious, uncle, this beetle looks at it, but she didn't expect it to taste so good, it's even better than the blind bear."
"Hahaha, if you eat more when you have a good meal, don't rush, eat slowly, you can do it today."
"Thank you, uncle...well, it would be great if Ida came too. This wine is the wine that our men in the army should drink."
"When it comes to your father, what did he say, why did you come and follow me... Of course, my uncle welcomes you, but your father has become a magistrate of the Seventh-rank Zhechong Mansion before, he is a high-ranking official and hereditary!"
Zhen Youcai looked puzzled. The Zhen family finally made a name for official positions. Although they were not really powerful, they were also from the military headquarters. They sounded so majestic.
When the young man heard this, he shook his head, held back his smile and said, "Uncle, you don't know, my father was stimulated by you."
"I was stimulated by me?" Zhen Youcai became even more puzzled.
The young man pointed to his partner who was eating voraciously and said, "Just talk about Hu Zi. This time I came back, my father wanted to arrange a marriage for him, and it had already been negotiated before."
When Zhen Youcai heard this, he looked at the children. These children were orphans on the battlefield. They were adopted by their brothers since childhood and were considered half of their Zhen family. It was normal for his younger brother to arrange marriages for them.
The young man named Hu Zi looked at Zhen Youcai and put down the big crab in his hand in fear, his mouth was bulging, and he didn't dare to swallow the food.
Zhen Youcai knew that this little guy was the oldest among the few children, two years older than his nephew. Now he is eighteen years old, and he is at a good age to marry and start a family and start a business.
"Eat, why are you polite to me?"
Zhen Youcai waved his hand generously. In the past, he might have been tightly snatching his nephew first, but now he has money and doesn’t care about some food at all.
"You said your father wanted to marry Hu Zi, what does it have to do with me?"
The young man touched the tiger with his elbow and signaled him to continue eating. Then he smiled and said, "Uncle, don't you know whether you really or not. Now your house is the most grand in the village. How many girls are trying to be a wife for their cousin? How can they look down on us military men?"
This sentence is somewhat self-deprecating, but the young man was very open-minded and had no intention of sarcasm to Zhen Youcai.
After hearing this, Zhen Youcai looked at the young man named Hu Zi thoughtfully, remembered the two sons at home, nodded, and said, "I know what your father means. I'm here to do something with me. I'm probably the real thing to give me a warning."
When the young man heard this, his lips raised slightly, picked up the wine glass beside him and fucked it directly. Seeing Zhen Youcai lowered his head and thought, he said, "Uncle, it's not wrong for the two brothers to do this. If the family is rich, of course they have to choose a wife that they are satisfied with. But it just happened that the other person that Brother Huzi likes is also intent, so he rejected my father and went to your house to line up."
Zhen Youcai nodded, probably knowing what was going on. It was just that the girl knew that her son was going to marry, so she turned down the marriage of Huzi and chose to go to her house to try her luck.
However, Zhen Youcai was a little embarrassed to say that his two sons would definitely not choose to marry in the village. Chang'an City wanted to curry favor with his wealthy family and took it away. Now this situation is nothing more than the wishful thinking of the people in the village.
However, such words cannot be said. If you say them, it is easy to offend people and make people feel that you are showing off.
After a few little guys had enough food and drink, Zhen Youcai thought for a while and said, "Since you decided to follow me, I'll take it. However, I agreed in advance that you can only start from the bottom. Although you are a little tired, your treatment will not be bad."

In the western suburbs of Chang'an, the military palace and guard station are located.
There were more than a dozen thin horses tied to the square, and there were no extra weeds on the ground for them to eat.
A veteran with a broken leg came over with a pile of straw feed, and he had no idea how many times he had repaired the single crutches in his hand.
"Come on, old guys, eat."
The veteran's face was full of vicissitudes and his voice was a little hoarse. When talking to the horse, it made people feel gentle and respectable.
A few horses gathered around, and I shared the few feeds with you and you took a mouthful.
The veteran grinned and reached out to stroke the horse's mane, his eyes full of reluctance.
A noise came from the garrison.
"It's a good thing not to fight, but those horses have been with us for so many years, and now the court is going to take them away directly, so we can't bear to leave them."
"Non-no, horses belong to the court. I have said before. I just lend them to you for a while. Once the war stops, they will be returned in a unified manner."
"The horses are old, and the imperial court takes them back and kills them to eat meat. You, you might as well offer a price and we have all bought them."
"Buy? Can you afford it? Although those are old horses, when they are registered, they are all genuine Beidi war horses. One horse costs 120 stagnants. Calculated with new money, they are twelve gold coins. Can you take it out? There are 16 horses in total and 192 gold coins, enough for you to buy a small house with two in Chang'an."
"..." A silence fell into the ward.
When the veteran with broken legs heard this, he stroked the horse in front of him and couldn't help but shed a line of tears.
