During the Spring Festival, as long as there are Han people, they will always try to celebrate. This is a tradition. This is true, whether it is in the occupied areas of the Qing Dynasty or among the overseas immigrants in later generations. The current Zhejiang Ming army occupied areas is not only in the capital city, but also in the countryside.

In a village south of Tangya Town, the Shi family, who moved from Dalan Mountain with the Ming army, was having a lively festival. For the Shi family, this year is a big year that will surely remember for life, because just this year, their family has regained a large area of ​​land in Jinhua Prefecture to support their families. Compared with their hometown in Yuyao, it is also tax-free land. This means that this land not only belongs to them, but also does not have to pay the tax that is said to be very small, but it is enough to kill people when it is implemented.

This was a good thing worth celebrating, but the forty acres of land in this land was the pension land that the Shi family had lost in World War II.

After the rebellion was quelled, the Ming army specially divided the land for pension. The Military Control Commission, where he worked, not only gave him the burned silver, but also gave him a bonus to reward him for his bravery and duty in the defense of the arsenal. Even Linhai Bo, who was famous in many people, now Chen Wen, Hou Anyuan, gave a comment that he would be brave after knowing shame. But for the Shi family, if all this could be exchanged for Shi Erniu's life, they would rather not have anything.

The man has passed away, but the living life has to continue. In July, when he got these land, the Shi family had left a few acres of vegetable fields to be taken care of by Mr. Shi, and the rest of the land was rented to the original tenants of the family, and they were all the people in this village. Not long ago, when the Battle of Shentangyuan and the reward for the recovery of Quzhou were given, the Shi family received another thirty acres of land. If it was added with the land that had been distributed before, it would be a full hundred acres of fertile land.

A full hundred acres of land, except for those acres of vegetable fields, were rented to local tenants. For a time, the Shi family, who was forced to move to Dalanshan, was already a rich peasant in their hometown, and this trend seemed to have not stopped.

All of this originated from Chen Wen's reward system for giving land to military merits. The original military merit reward was paid in silver. When the army lacked silver, a small part of them had used food. These things were either consumed in daily life or had to bear the difference in transactions, which was far less affordable than this land. The price of purchasing land was secondly. The key is that this land can become the basis for inheriting the family business, but those silver could not be done, at least for them now.

However, since this is the land of military merit, there are naturally more and less land, and the land of land is far more important than silver, so more and less is naturally more important.

"Big Niu, what are you saying? Sixty or seventy acres, and there is another one who divided eighty acres of land in one battle. Did they give the officials of the garrison? Why did they share so much that my son only divided thirty acres of land? My son was the first old man to follow the marquis, and he was still a sergeant!"

This night, the one who was shouting in the room was Shi Daniu's mother. While Shi Daniu's mother was venting her dissatisfaction, his two sisters also echoed the complaints. Instead, the three men in the family, Shi Daniu, Shi Daniu and his younger brother, were either squatting on the ground smoking pipes, or simply sitting there without saying a word.

"Big Niu, you are talking about what's going on. If it doesn't work, I'll go to the Marquis to comment on this principle myself!"

Shi Daniu's mother didn't ask her, and she directly sent the problem into Shi Daniu's ears. She knew that she could not escape, and she knew that her mother was a role that could be done. One day, when he was on duty in the army, Shi Daniu had to explain the reason clearly because of this.

"That shouldn't be. Isn't that Governor's soldier the same as you mentioned last time? No, is it from the green flag? It's so much different if you change the array?"

After hearing Shi Daniu's explanation, his mother's voice dropped a few degrees. Even his two sisters became silent and sat there listening to his explanation. But the question was not over yet, and Shi Daniu didn't know how to explain it. After grabbing his head for a long time, he said, "The opponents we face are too weak, and there are very few casualties in the army, but the troops that fought against the Supervisory Battalion were injured a lot, especially the two infantry bureaus on the outermost side, almost everyone was injured." He was stunned on the spot.

After saying so many words in one breath, Shi Daniu, who had always been stupid and honest, suddenly felt enlightened, but after he added a sentence to prove his explanation, he immediately regretted it.

"The brother An you met last time was in charge of the two bureaus. After the battle, one of his legs was limped and his walking would be affected."

When he and An Youfu were in the Fourth Mandarin Duck Formation Killer Team of the Armor Strikes, they were also here as comrades. Even his mother had the intention of recruiting a son-in-law. After all, there were two sisters in the family that had not been married yet. However, after An Youfu came once, he did not dare to step into his house again. It was not that his two sisters were unbearable, but that the first time he came to the door, he saw Shi Daniu's mother quarreling with someone with his two sisters. She scolded the six or seven old ladies on the opposite side so that they couldn't even open their mouths. She was so angry that she was consuming her hair and making trouble.

It is said that the boy from the Shi family follows his father and the girl follows his mother. This is true. At least when he was in his hometown in Yuyao, his two sisters who had already married one after another were laughing at the village, and even the wives in the neighboring village knew that they could not afford to offend them.

However, as Shi Daniu expected, when he heard about An Youfu's incident, his mother immediately remembered the son-in-law and asked Shi Daniu to answer if he had ever asked An Youfu's meaning. However, when An Youfu invited him several times, he refused. Once, he drank together and even expressed that he liked women who were soft on the outside and strong on the inside. Shi Daniu was stupid, but he could still hear this. Women who were tough on the inside and strong on the outside, like his two sisters, who were tough on the inside and strong on the outside, were indeed not suitable for An Youfu.

However, if he said it directly, Shi Daniu was afraid of causing his third sister's displeasure, so he had to say that An Youfu had been promoted to a camp official by Chen Wen. He felt that the family was not right and did not ask.

"Barrison Officer, you seemed to say last time that you should be the general, the deputy general, or other talent?"

Such an amazing speed of promotion really scared Shi Daniu's mother and her tone dropped a few more times. During this period, his father always squatted beside him smoking a pipe, as if he had lived for this for the rest of his life.

Seeing that it was venting my mother's resentment, Shi Daniu had no sense of accomplishment. After all, it was his mother, and it was for his own good. So he said something that he had forgotten to mention over the past two days.

"Mom, I've reported that after the New Year, the Marquis of the Marquis will open a Boy Scout Academy in the Mansion City, which will only recruit active-duty officers, soldiers and martyrs, disabled officers and soldiers, and immediate relatives of military households. I want to ask my younger brother to go to school."

"What did you say? Boy Scouts, boys can also be organized into troops to fight?!"

……………………

"Uncle An, you said that this Boy Scout Academy would not have allowed the underage boys to join the army and fight, right?"

Just like the Shi family screaming violently, the Ding family lady who was far away in Yongkang also expressed incredible about the "future son-in-law" that the Shi family originally liked. At least in her opinion, she must have the strength to fight in battles, otherwise if the weapons are not stable, it will be a big deal to say whether they can fight the Tartars or not. It is most likely that they will be exhausted first.

"Sister-in-law, it's not that the boys go to war, the Marquis said that it's just that our military men are prone to being taboo by literati, so we can call a boys scout to block their mouths."

Chen Wen did not tell all of his thoughts about the people below. Even An Youfu, who had been determined to be sent by the battalion officer, was no exception, because they might not believe some things even if they were to tell the truth. After all, if they said too much, what if they were so scared that they would hang themselves as if Cao Conglong was so scared.

The so-called Boy Scouts, also known as the Scouts movement, were developed as a social activity developed to try to save this crisis because of the moral depravity of the British youth at that time and their physical weakness, and they were afraid of being defeated by the fall of the ancient Roman Empire.

The purpose of the Boy Scouts is to cultivate citizens who are truly healthy in physiologically, psychologically and spiritually, so that citizens can contribute to society, rather than become a burden to society. In Chen Wen's view, the six arts of "ritual, music, shooting, impulse, book, and number" emphasized by Confucianism during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period are actually to cultivate ordinary people into scholars who are truly used in the country and society. Later, with the abnormal development of Confucianism itself, the definition of scholars gradually became a nerd who turned a blind eye to things outside the window and only read the books of sages.

Retro, this is a theory that Chen Wen saw on the Internet a long time ago. Whether it is effective, regardless of whether it is effective, but in Chen Wen's opinion, it is at least much stronger than the corrupt scholars who "did just talk about their hearts and minds in the late Ming Dynasty, who "did not talk about their hearts and minds in the face of danger and repay the king." But he is just a military general and is not convenient to interfere in these literal things. Now he is still using the so-called Boy Scout Academy to conduct retro reality to see if it is really effective. As for whether it is worthy of its name, he also needs to conduct military training and other related trainings, so naturally he will not worry about these things.

"Oh, it turns out to be a military school. I listen to Uncle An's family. Those old masters don't like us military households. They always have to let Xiaojie learn."
