Chapter 563

(Thanks wsssssssss88, I have dreams in the world for the rewards, thank you!)

When I woke up in the morning, the autumn rain that had been yinyin for a night had stopped, and the mixed smell of coal ash in the air was washed away. Guo Tao breathed the rare fresh air, but felt that he was not very comfortable with such fresh air for a moment. He was gradually accustomed to the smell of coal ash. Although it was a bit pungent, it became the best smell after a long time.

Walking on the way to the school with his schoolbag on his back, he couldn't help feeling much more comfortable as he looked at the wisps of blue smoke rising over the neatly planned houses.

Guo Tao is an orphan, a twelve-year-old orphan. His hometown is in Xuzhou. When he was six years old, during the Pang Xun Rebellion in Xuzhou, all his parents, brothers and sisters died. At that time, his mother hid him under her. The spear of the rioters pierced his mother's chest and left a scar on his young body, but he survived. The whole family only survived him. In the six years since, he became a young man from a scholar-official family to a beggar.

From Xuzhou to Yangzhou, from Sizhou to Haozhou, from Yingzhou to Songzhou, from Bianzhou to Luoyang, from Zhengzhou to Caozhou, from Yanzhou to Qingzhou, in six years, he followed an old beggar through countless places. But although the world is big, there is no place for him to live. He encountered countless rolling eyes and biting by evil dogs, but after getting sick, he could only stand up. He saw that he could not survive again and again, but in the end he survived.

But living like this is numb and desperate for the teenager, just a beggar who is used to xing and survives.

Until half a year ago, when the old beggar was dying in Luoyang City, he asked him to go to Dengzhou.

The old beggar said that in Dengzhou, there were no beggars, and everyone could get enough food and clothing. In Dengzhou, not only could they eat every day, but they also had three meals a day. I heard that people in mines and workshops only worked overtime or even four meals a day. In the morning, they ate porridge, fried dough sticks, eggs cooked with tea, and steamed breads called buns and steamed buns. They could eat dried lunch and dinner, so they didn’t have to worry about food at all, they could eat openly. They could even eat meat frequently and have their own houses. People in Dengzhou didn’t even have to go up the mountain to collect firewood, they directly burned the black stones dug out of the mountains.

It is said that if an ordinary man in Dengzhou can get a reward of one day of work, if it is replaced with corn, it can be replaced with six kilograms, if it is replaced with sorghum, it can be replaced with seven kilograms, if it is replaced with soybean, it can be replaced with eight kilograms, and if it is replaced with rice, it can also be replaced with five kilograms of corn, which is enough for the family to eat. I heard that even women in Dengzhou can earn money by working, and a woman can earn at least five kilograms of corn a day. Children in Dengzhou can go to school, wearing clean clothes, carrying schoolbags, sitting in a school with clear windows and reading.

Dengzhou is an extravagant paradise, a paradise in the eyes of poor people.

Guo Tao also read books. He started to learn language with his father at the age of three, started to learn to read at the age of four, and could write neat big characters with wolf hair at the age of five. At the age of six, he had already known hundreds of words, and could write them all, and even recite dozens of poems.

On that night, the old beggar kept murmuring the countless legends about Dengzhou he heard while begging, his eyes were full of yearning until the sound stopped and his body was cold, but the corner of his mouth still had a smile. Guo Tao had seen too many prosperous cities across the country and across Henan over the years, but the more prosperous cities there were, the more beggars there were. This is true in Yangzhou, Xuzhou, and Songzhou, Bianzhou and the eastern capital Luoyang.

He did not believe that there was a paradise like Dengzhou in the world, but he decided to take a trip for the old beggar. He washed his thin body according to the old beggar's will, then burned it to ashes, put it on a gourd, and resolutely embarked on the way to Dengzhou. In any case, the old beggar had nurturing him. Without the old beggar, he would have lost him long ago. He wanted to sprinkle his ashes on the land of Dengzhou.

Today is the 31st day after Guo Tao arrived in Dengzhou. He was taken to Dengzhou by the town in Qingzhou. After entering Dengzhou, he realized how lucky he was. On the border between Dengzhou and Laizhou, there were more than 100,000 people waiting for the opportunity to enter Dengzhou, but it was difficult to get in, because Dengzhou only had craftsmen, literati who could write and calculate, and young and strong men and women. The elderly and weak were generally not allowed. He was only twelve years old. If he had come a month earlier, he might have to wait in a daze outside the Twelve Liancheng in Dengzhou.

But this time he was very lucky. Li Jing, the chief general of the town, issued a new order, taking away all orphans under the age of fifteen from Ziqing Town, and the remaining refugee children over the age of seven and under the age of fifteen, can be handed over to the town, and brought to Dengzhou as long as the parents are willing.

After these children were brought to Dengzhou, they had to rest for one month in the children's camp. Specialized doctors and nurses came to check their bodies, and they were served with enough food every day, as well as brand new clothes, and some text learning and cohort training.

Yesterday, Guo Tao's one-month-old children's camp ended. According to the age of all the children, he was arranged to stay at the home of a couple in his forties. This is also a new rule in the town. After a month of living, those under seven will be transferred to a special kindergarten for raising. All those over seven will be arranged to go to various foster families.

Guo Tao's new family, his adoptive father, also the surname Guo Xiaoshan, was 43 years old. He worked at the Dengzhou Wharf, with a monthly salary of three stakes and three days off a month. His adoptive mother Liu worked in the dyeing workshop in Dengzhou, with a monthly salary of two stakes and three days off a month. There was no elderly person at home. The two had three children, two sons and two daughters, and the eldest son was 25 years old. He joined the army in the town's ** Pengri Army. His second son was 22 years old and is now trained in the Dengzhou Tuanjie Camp. His two daughters were one fifteen and one fourteen, and he has not been betrothed yet. However, he has already worked in the adoptive mother's workshop and can earn 1,800 cents of wages a month. He is also good. Many families come to propose marriage, but they have not agreed.

The Guo family has a yard house with a yard with thatched yard, which is very spacious and covered. The family of six has an income of more than ten yuan a month and is not under the burden of the elderly. It is a great condition. The children are all at the age of marriage, but they are reluctant to get married early, which is the biggest trouble for adoptive parents.

But in Guo Tao's opinion, the life of the Guo family is indeed a paradise for the old beggars. They eat dried food three meals a day and can eat meat every three days. Every day, either fresh fish or dried fish, or even eggs. This life is even as Guo Tao remembers that when he was a child, the life of the Guo family was not so easy.

Guo Tao was fostering at Guo’s family, but it was not a burden for vain. The town subsidized the Guo family with six dou of millet every month, which was thirty-three kilograms. Thirty-three kilograms of millet, which was enough for Guo Tao’s life.

It is said that this time, the number of children brought back from all over Henan was over 100,000, including 100,000 over seven years old. These children, according to Li Jing's order, were to study and train.

One hundred thousand children have been newly built into a scout. Before the scout became a child, they will not participate in battle, but they will have to receive training.

The 100,000 scouts were organized completely according to military marshals. They usually wore uniforms and received military training and cultural studies. Although they were fostered in various families, they had to go to a special military academy. They entered school at the age of seven, received twelve years of military academy training, and graduated at the age of eighteen. After graduation, they must enter the town and serve for six years of military service. If they performed well during their service, they could enter the martial arts lecture hall and become non-commissioned officers after three years of completion.

If you have completed six years of service and are unwilling to continue joining the army, you can retire.

The town has established a military academy in each county in Dengzhou and southern Liaoning. There are two state-level key military academies in Dengzhou and southern Liaoning, ten military academies, with ten people in each school. The implementation is completely closed training. Except for going home on a holiday one day a week, you are not allowed to leave the school during the rest of the time. In the school, everything is no different from the military camp.

Guo Tao is twelve years old this year and directly entered the intermediate class of Dengzhou Military Academy for training.

Yesterday, Guo Tao had already been with him and was assessed. After the assessment, Guo Tao was assigned to the Eighth Squadron of the Fifth Brigade, the 10th Intermediate Class of the Scout Corps. Because Guo Tao knew a lot of words, although he was a little thinner, he was very tall and very magical. Therefore, he was appointed as the squadron leader of the Eighth Squadron after the assessment.

There are 100,000 people in the Scout Corps, with junior and intermediate classes below, and various detachments below. Each detachment has one thousand people, which is the wing level, one brigade is the battalion level, five hundred people, and one squadron is the capital level, and one squadron is the troop level, and ten people.

The Scouts had one hundred detachments, two hundred brigades, one thousand squadrons, and ten thousand squadrons.

When they arrived at the gate of Dengzhou Military Academy, the school principal, military representative, director of the teaching director, training director, teacher and other people were playing music at the gate to welcome the freshmen.

However, on the first day of the school opening today, almost all the main officials of the 22nd Army, including the Tongjie Army, and Dengzhou and other 26 counties were present. The commander Li Jing was wearing dazzling armor, standing at the door like an iron tower, watching one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one

When Guo Tao walked past Li Jing, his heartbeat couldn't help but beat violently, his throat was dry, and his blood rushed straight to his forehead. Although he tried his best to pretend to be calm, his whole body was still tight and his body couldn't help but follow the knowledge of the queue trained in the youth camp, he raised his chest and raised his head, and strode forward. Finally, his right hand was even five fingers in parallel. He naturally raised it up to the edge of his head and gave a scout salute!

Every passing boy couldn't help but raise his hand to salute. Li Jing and the generals, standing at the school gate, raised their hands to salute from time to time.

As soon as you enter the school gate, on a large marble relief stone wall, there are large characters written in thin gold inscribed by Li Jing. Welcome to Dengzhou Military Academy!

There is also a row of slightly smaller characters below, which are the school motto, training rules and honorary principles of the Scouts.

Official school motto: Responsibilities, honors, and the country.

Scout training rules: punctual, disciplined, strict, upright and fortitude.
