Chapter 1016

When Jia Shang learned that he had been selected and was going to Chang'an, he was ignorant.

Because of the combat effectiveness of the firearm division in several battles on the grassland, unless they are completely unable to get information, they all know that cold weapons are about to be eliminated, and only firearms are the future.

In this situation, those who can give priority to entering the firearms force are equal to knowing what firearms are first. Waiting for other troops to be reorganized into firearm divisions, they are likely to be transferred to become "models". It is inevitable to mention the position in the process.

"The whole county, just me?" Jia Shang knows that others say he is stupid, but he thinks he should be meticulous in everything he does. What he shows is only stereotype, not stupid. He looked at the village chief Cai Ping standing in front of him, and still couldn't believe it and asked, "just me?"

Cai Ping is the leader selected by the county to send Jia Shang to Chang'an. They will send a special person to escort Jia Shang.

It's almost the same as the county magistrate's trip to use an escort. The only difference is that Jia Shang can't play a guard of honor.

"Yes, you were selected for the whole county." Cai Ping went directly to the military club to find Jia Shang. He was very envious of Jia Shang's selection. He urged the stunned Jia Shang: "although there are still seven days, you can be more familiar with the environment when you arrive one day earlier. You can start early without going to pack up and salute."

"My father and my mother?" Jia Shang confirmed it. While ecstatic, he asked, "don't tell my parents. Just go?"

"Huang bingcao went to inform me yesterday." Cai Ping smiled and said, "it's also your father's intention to start early."

Originally, the young mother wanted Jia to go home, but she couldn't go home. She also wanted Jia Wei to send some money and add some clothes.

Jia Wei once had that impulse, and then he stubbornly endured it.

The whole county was selected. I heard that the county magistrate and leading figures in the county had gone to comfort Jia Shang and would come to Jia's house later.

The Jia family used to be famous in the county, because Jia Shang was the only one in the county who was selected to be a firecracker. Now the Jia family is more famous and is not at the same level as the Zhao family. I believe it is inevitable that the Jia family will pressure the Zhao family in the future.

As a matter of fact, when Zhao Bing learned that Jia Shang had been selected as a firearm division, he went to Jia's house to congratulate him. In addition to envy and jealousy, he had already bowed his head to Jia Wei, only to say that Jia Wei was bigger and smaller in the back village.

The limelight is big enough, so there is no need to let the children go home and stick those fireworks. They should go to the military camp as soon as possible and arrive one day in advance, which may give more good impressions to the officials.

As for giving money or something, it's OK to send it when you're finished. Although he is in the army, he has enough money to eat and drink better. Moreover, people need human relations.

Clothes are not necessary. When people enter the army, the army is equipped in all aspects. They usually wear uniforms. Only when the army collapses and needs to disguise and escape can they have the opportunity to wear ordinary clothes. The implication of sending clothes is quite bad.

"Oh." Jia Shang also had full expectations for the fire remover. He nodded and said, "it's troublesome for CAI Guanchang."

Cai Ping, 31, is the chief of the county's army system.

At that age, he is a village chief. Even if he is only a village chief in the county and county soldier system, he should be said to have mixed well. That is, Cai Ping knows that he has almost no room for improvement.

Jia Shang is only 19 years old this year. His Lao Tzu has a rank of eight. As his eldest son, he will accomplish nothing. In the end, he will cut a rank and inherit Lao Tzu. How can he be a public doctor.

In the Han Empire, titles were allowed to be inherited. People with titles generally chose their eldest son to inherit. Only some eldest sons had titles that did not lose their father's title, the father's title would choose another son to inherit.

People who could have been lying on their parents' merit books and waiting to die, but they are so successful that they get the opportunity they deserve. Others envy, but they have to be convinced.

"Firearm Division has plenty of opportunities to go to war." Cai Ping said: "I know that firearms are sharp. It's very clear that it's easy for a rifleman to get a first rank. It's estimated that in two or three years, your title will be equal to or even higher than mine. At that time, there will be another person with a title above level 4 in the county, and the county will also benefit. Escort is only a small thing. Don't forget that your hometown is."

The evaluation of political achievements in various places of the Han Empire is generally to assess the population, and then the tax paid. On the one hand, the infrastructure construction in the county is also a part of political achievements.

The number of nobles in the county can be regarded as the wise teaching of the people by the county magistrate and other administrative personnel and the local military, which is also a merit more or less.

If someone in a county has made meritorious service and won a higher title, even if it is careless in all aspects, he will certainly be evaluated as "good", and then won't the title winner give back to his hometown?

Take a look at those places where the Marquis is. Even if the Marquis doesn't help or give back to his hometown at ordinary times, there is only a marquis in his hometown. Foreigners don't say they are tolerant everywhere. The fairness should be guaranteed. Otherwise, who knows whether they will go to the Marquis of their hometown if they are bullied.

If the Marquis has deep feelings for his hometown, pays attention to and takes care of it everywhere, and then pulls a good project, the benefit of his hometown is beyond imagination.

The Marquis of the Han Empire also had Marquises overseas. Most of the good positions must be won by the Marquis's relatives. For other positions or looking for help, don't you look for more reliable hometown people?

Without exception, on the premise that those Marquis can choose people, the first thought is definitely the people from their hometown.

Isn't that the so-called one man's way to heaven? If you can support a native, make him meritorious, and constantly upgrade his title until he becomes a marquis, I believe all counties and townships will spare no effort to help.

Jia Shang set off with the sound of gongs and drums. When he left, the streets were full of villagers. He could see an expression called expectation on the faces of the villagers. The young man didn't understand why.

"I hope you can make achievements." Cai Ping said something bluntly: "it's like where you grew up. It's not because there's Jia Gong and good things to fight for."

Jia Shang also thought of his father, as if it was really the same thing.

"This..." Jia Shang said happily and nervously, "I just entered the firearm division. I don't know what to do. I really can't afford the expectations of the villagers."

"You must be able to afford it." Cai Ping, who is also from the county, said seriously, "there will be motivation only when there is pressure. If you encounter something that can't be overcome, think about your parents, brothers and sisters at home and the villagers in the countryside. There are so many ardent expectations. Don't give up easily."

Jia Shang only felt the pressure.

Yong county is 430 miles away from Chang'an. They ride horses.

Rest in some towns or counties along the way. You can find that you are busy along the way.

This time, the general's office issued the recruitment document for the counties in Guanzhong, and all places fell into a warm atmosphere.

Being recruited is not a disaster for contemporary Han people. On the contrary, it is a good thing.

Some are veterans who can't forget the extraordinary years. They are happy that they can still be recruited by the army. In addition to proving that the army still remembers itself, they want to raise their title.

Most of them are young men who have been looking forward to being recruited. Their generation grew up listening to the stories of their parents. Everyone wants to go to the battlefield to win their fame and become the protagonist of the next generation.

"Are you going to Chang'an?"

"Yes."

There is a teahouse beside the national road. As long as the people on the way are not in a hurry, they are thirsty. It's not a problem to stop to drink some tea for more than ten minutes.

"What a coincidence!" Jiang Chao's face was happy: "so are we!"

Just now they heard the next table talking about the firearm division. After listening carefully for a while, they knew that the team at the next table was escorting a person to report to the firearm division.

Cai Ping was equally happy and asked, "did you escort the young men in the village?"

"Isn't it?" Jiang Chao confirmed that there was nothing wrong. He looked around and saw that Jiang Shang was the youngest. Almost for the first time, he recognized that the person who was recruited to the firearm division was him: "we came from pingbao. We have been in a hurry for four days all the way."

Jiang Wei also believes that the youngest person on the other side is the person recruited. He made do with it, smiled and said, "we are probably paoze of the same army. My name is Jiang Wei, and you?"

Jia Shang said his name. He was silent and suddenly said, "your name is the same as my father."

Jiang Wei was stunned. He doesn't know how to answer. Is there such a chat? Just say your father's name is the same as so and so. Do you recognize your father or how? How embarrassing!

Jia Shang regretted what he said.

"Er..." Jia Wei said with a stiff face, "I'm the only one in the county. How about you?"

"The same." Jia Shang was very embarrassed in his heart. After a little silence, he continued: "are all the teams going to Chang'an like us now?"

Jiang Wei found that Jiang Shang couldn't have a good chat at all. People on the way to Chang'an were like them. He didn't see that most of the people driving on the national highway were businessmen, and most of the people on foot.

If there were official business in the county, the Han Empire would not be a country lacking horses. No matter how poor a county is, can't it get together more than ten horses? The first choice is to ride a horse.

Another horse team got off the National Road and came to this teahouse. Although more than a dozen people looked dusty, they looked full of spirit.

"Shopkeeper, the material of the horse is easy to use, and there is enough food in the store." Jiang Fang looked around the shed of the teahouse and saw that most of them were soldiers. He said to the people next to him, "there are so many soldiers or peers on the national highway these days."

They went to the northwest from Chang'an. Along the way, they really saw too many small troops or slave teams, more from east to west and a few from west to East.

"Several." Jiang Fang saw that there were no tables in the teahouse. There were two tables that were not so full. He said in a deliberative tone, "can you get together?"

Those two tables are not full. It is the team led by Jiang Chao and Cai Ping. They have responded successively. Naturally, they can get together.

"Are you going to report to Chang'an?" Jiang fangman said admiringly, "the whole country has ordered the recruitment of troops in Guanzhong, and there is no news in other places. No, it will not be two or three years just about the recruitment of troops in Guanzhong. We have gathered more than 50 people and plan to go to the western regions to find a chance."

Of their fifty or so people, only a dozen made up a table, and the rest could only find a place at will.

People who can sit at the table are tough at first sight. Others did not express any dissatisfaction with them sitting at the table.

Cai Ping and Jiang Chao looked at each other and wondered why the man was so familiar.

"Listen to the accent, is it from Kanto?" Cai Ping went to pass the corvee service in Guandong and could hear the obvious Guandong accent: "the news is very well informed. How long has it been since he arrived in Shiping County."

"Nine days." Jiang Fang gestured and said, "we heard the news. It took us nine days to go west from Mount Tai."

It was nearly two thousand miles. It took only nine days to go that far?

"There is a national road!" Jiang Fang grinned and said with a smile, "what we did before was bloody work. We know better than anyone about seizing opportunities. Many times we spend more on the way and arrive one day earlier than others. We are likely to earn back what we spent and have more left."

They took the road rail car in Julu County. If they could take the track on the road, they didn't have to spend more money. Because they took the national highway, they caught nearly two thousand miles in nine days.

"If there were no national road (chi Road), we should have reached Jiyin county?" Jiang fangman said with emotion: "without going out, you can't see the changes of the big man with your own eyes. If you go abroad, you will find that there are only two countries in the world, that is, the big man and the barbarians. The big man is the peak of civilization, and even if the rest of the barbarians are not Ru Mao's blood drinkers, it's not much better."

People saw that Jiang Fang was a man with a lot of stories. He might still be working abroad for a long time.

Jiang Chao was obviously more active in communication and asked, "where is the farthest place to go, brother?"

"Farthest?" Jiang Fang touched his chin and thought for a moment. He raised his head slightly and said, "it should be Tessie's seal?"

Tession? Many people haven't even heard their names, let alone know where they are.

"That's the capital of Sasan." Jiang Fang thought there was nothing wrong with holding his head up when he spoke. Who made his knowledge so broad: "it was three years ago."

People knew that the Han Empire had entered a state of war with Sasan, and they couldn't help but want to know more about the Persians from Jiang.
