Chapter 186 The children of the army can also succeed
As we all know, the household registration system of the Ming Dynasty was inherited from the Yuan Dynasty. It was classified according to occupations. The court divided the people of the country into official, civil, military, craftsmanship, salt, etc. Various household registrations and hereditary vocations cannot be changed. The children of farmers worked for generations, the descendants of craftsmen worked for generations, and the descendants of military households joined the army for generations.
When Bai Liqi heard that Xu Bai had become the Jinyiwei, his first reaction was not to be happy, but to worry that Xu Bai and Baili Susu's children would become military households in the future. This is also the reason. If he became a military household, if he could not transfer his family, then it is very likely that the Xu family will be military households for generations.
The children of military households are not allowed to have any other professions except for being a soldier. They are not allowed to trade and do business, and the imperial examinations are not allowed. Such a rule was originally made by the Ming Dynasty to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army. However, this also makes the future of people from military households not very broad compared to those with other household registrations.
The military households bear heavy burdens and relatively low social status, so the children of military households generally have the blessing to be divorced from their military status. However, it is not easy to get rid of their military status. People like Xu Bai, let alone a thousand miles away, can even count how many people can count the entire Ming Dynasty?
The military households across the country are directly under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Office of the Five Army and are not subject to the constraints of the local chief executive. All military households are hereditary. The main task of each military household is to act as a quota army in a fixed guard station, and is called the chief. The sons of the chief are the second or the old Ding. If the chief Ding dies, the second or the second or the old Ding of the army will be replaced in turn. If the descendants of the family are extinct, the replacement will be made by the same clan.
In other words, every military family must have one child to serve in the army. If necessary, only one child can serve in the army. However, now, in every military family, three or five children are normal. Except for this military child who can receive military pay to maintain the family's life, other children have no money-making careers for them to do.
These people are Jun Yu.
Xu Bai wanted to expand the strength of the Nanzhen Fushishi, and his eyes were on these people, especially the military remnants in the capital. They were almost at the bottom of the entire society and were worse than ordinary people. The imperial household registration system made them unable to do anything other than idle all day long.
However, idleness cannot support the family, nor can they let them marry and have children. In the eyes of these people, the safety of the imperial court is far from bringing more benefits to themselves and their families.
If you have a solid foundation, you know etiquette; if you have enough food and clothing, you know honor and disgrace. If you are hungry, don’t say anything else.
Xu Bai wanted to give these people a way out, and he was very sure that once he entered the Nanzhen Fushi Office, he had a fixed military salary, and these people would be better used than those recruited from anywhere.
On the side of the Governor's Office of the Five Army, Xu Bai asked Zhao Huchen to run away, but it was just a matter of recruiting the army in the capital to enrich the Jinyiwei. After a while, the matter of taking the documents and having a few drinks from the people, all the generals have only had empty salaries. It is probably rare for such people to actively recruit army in the same way.
As expected, Zhao Huchen didn't even find his own relationship. He just went to the Governor's Office of the Five Army several times and got the documents.
Next, Xu Bai simply posted a simple notice in front of the Nanzhen Fushi Office, and then spread the news through word of mouth through the Jinyiwei subordinates who were originally military households in the Nanzhen Fushi Office, and soon spread the news.
Those who came on the first day were almost all brothers from the Jinyiwei family who died in the Nanya this time. Xu Bai was exempted from the assessment. As long as he was healthy and of the appropriate age, the Nanzhen Fushi Department would accept it all.
More than 100 people came to register the next day. According to the assessment of strength, speed, endurance, etc., most of them were screened out, leaving more than 20 people.
On the third day, the people who came to register suddenly became popular. When they woke up early in the morning, there were four or five hundred people waiting to open the yamen at the gate of the Nanzhen Fushi. These people were all children of military households and knew some of the rules in the army. These people were here at dawn, which made the Nanya Jinyiwei who were on duty very nervous. They thought that the siege incident that had happened a few days ago was about to happen again.
Chen Xiu was also standing in front of the door, waiting for the heavy door in front of him to open.
Two days ago, Cui Zhao, opposite the alley, called them all together. When talking about the Jinyiwei Nanya recruiting Junyu, everyone laughed and didn't take it seriously.
How is this possible? It is difficult to get into the Jinyiwei's reputation. This is not other guards. If there are some people in other guards, they can get in with some money. Just like Cui Zhao, he worked as a captain in the Jinyiwei for the rest of his life, but Cui Zhao almost got someone to beat him up. If the old man of the Cui family had been able to speak in front of their hundred households, maybe Cui Zhao would still be playing with birds at home!
Even the master may not be on the way. You can go back to Junyu. Let’s dream, you can have anything in your dream!
Chen Xiu really didn't take it seriously. Anyway, the brothers in his family and the eldest brother worked in the flag bearer for many years, so the family didn't have to worry about him. He and the third and fourth brothers were both single. After he had enough, the whole family was not hungry, but he didn't add much burden to the family. It was big in the capital, so it was easy to keep talking. As long as he was not picky about food, he wouldn't be able to eat.
However, when I came back last night, the boys of Qiu's family jumped and jumped in the alley, hoping that everyone would know that Qiu Laosan actually heard Cui Zhao's words and secretly went to the Jinyiwei to register yesterday.
It would be fine if I went to register, but unexpectedly, this guy was actually kept. That night, the guy came back wearing a lieutenant uniform of the Jinyiwei. Although he did not have a sword, Chen Xiu's eyes turned green at that time.
We agreed that we will be the Junyuan together, why are you so unauthentic and quietly becoming the Jinyiwei!
He hurriedly ran to Qiu Laosan's house to find out how he was retained. When he arrived at Qiu Jia, he found that he was not the only one who went there. There were more than a dozen people in Qiu Jia's small main hall, all of whom were all brothers from childhood to adulthood. Who wouldn't want to ask clearly that he would wear this lieutenant uniform as well.
That night, the lights of Qiu Jia were almost gone until midnight. Chen Xiu, who had long thought that he was unbearable, returned to his house and tossed and turned for more than an hour. He couldn't help it. After putting on his clothes, he came to the west city while the night was dark.
Since you have to register for the application, you must naturally take it as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the gate of the Nanfushi Nanfushi in Xicheng Jinyiwei, Chen Xiu was stunned. He thought he had arrived early, but he didn't expect that there were dozens of people there at the gate of the Nanfushi in this gate. The night was dark and looked down on the faces of these people. However, when he heard their low voices and the content of their discussion, Chen Xiu knew that he was afraid he would be late.
