The news on the Peninsula that happened in Sinai, whether it was big or small news. It was not easy to spread it back to China. After all, in the 21st year of the Gansheng, the telegram had not yet been put into use, so even the journalists who followed the army discovered any news, and when it was transmitted back to China, the news became old news.

After all, the Ming Dynasty is tens of thousands of miles away. It always takes some time to send it back to the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, for the Ming Dynasty, the war that took place thousands of miles away did not even have any impact on the Ming Dynasty, and the vast majority of the people of the Ming Dynasty did not even feel the atmosphere of the war.

After all, the war is too far away from them.

When the sun shines brightly in Lumanai, the Ming Dynasty in the first lunar month is still full of ice and snow. The weather this year is still very cold. Not only has the Qinhuai River frozen, but even the Dongting Lake in Huguang is even a layer of ice.

The severe cold of the Little Ice Age still envelopes the country.

In the morning, lead-gray dark clouds were pressing over Kaifeng Prefecture, and the cold wind blew from Hebei, bringing a biting cold and cold. By the time it was almost noon, the snow began to fall.

Once again, Kaifeng was covered by heavy snow.

The snow has not melted, and the fresh snow is shattered again. The thick snow will completely cover the earth with a piece of snow. Among the snow outside the city, the red patches are even conspicuous. There are red brick houses, and the buildings you are waiting for can be seen clearly several miles away.

Red bricks.

This is the most fashionable brick and tile of the Gan Sheng Queen. Whether it is the wheel kiln used to burn bricks or the application of hydraulic or steam-powered brick making machinery, the cost of making red bricks has been greatly reduced, so that even the most ordinary families can afford red bricks. Therefore, red bricks are the most common houses in the country, and brick and tile houses have entered the homes of ordinary people because of this.

Especially in emerging outer cities in various places, red brick walls are often built with red brick houses, red brick buildings, and red brick buildings. This is the current characteristic of the Ming Dynasty. The red brick building where Kaifeng Daily is located is located on the side of Jingwu Road in the outer city.

As usual, in newspapers, reporters and editors were rushing for manuscripts, and of course some people were complaining that there was no big news.

What is big news?

For example, people were frozen to death on the street. It was very common for decades ago, but now it is indeed rare.

But there is nothing new, so how can I write news?

"Su Yun, do you have something to do in the afternoon?"

Su Yun was lying on the table and rushing to write the manuscript. When someone beside him called him, he quickly raised his head.

"Editor Li, what's wrong?"

Li Yiming looked at the pocket watch and said:

"That's right. After we started the war against Turkey, according to the number of new recruits given by the Ministry of War, we allocated 2,500 people in Henan. In the past few days, Dusi issued a notice that all those over the age of 18 and under the age of 25 can participate in the matter of ordering soldiers. Have you heard of this?"

Su Yun smiled and said:

"Of course I know such a big thing. 2,500 places means there are 2,500 additional military households. This is a great thing. When I went home last night, I happily said that he had signed up and that as long as he had just one place to join the army, he would eat the imperial grain at that time."

Su Yun is a child of a military household. Because he is the second son, he is just a military household registration. By his generation, he is already a private household.

"Yes, military households are good. Not only are they exempted from duty and service, they can be divided into more than a hundred acres of land. But you also know that in our Ming Dynasty, no one wants to be a soldier. Your brother is a military household and can register directly. As long as the military officer passes the assessment, he can be included in active service. When he retires, he will be a military household. From then on, he will serve the country for generations. Speaking of which, even ordinary juren is not as good as a military household. The military household's military household's military household's military household can be passed on to his descendants. How can the identity of a juren be passed on to his descendants?"

As a child of a military household, Su Yun certainly knows the benefits of military households. Military fields are tax-free, males are exempt from service, and even when they are sued, they are different from civilian households. Local officials can hear cases involving military households in local areas, but they have no right to make judgments. They can only make trial opinions and hand them over to the corresponding judicial organ, the Judicial Department of the Provincial Department of the Provincial Department, which is specifically responsible for hearing cases involving military households. Even the execution of punishment for military households is different from that of civilian households. There are special military prisons for imprisonment. However, although such a privileged law makes some military households rely on their own local areas.

The government cannot handle it, and it is difficult for local officials to restrain it, but no one dares to cause trouble. Because the Tiqi who is responsible for public security can arrest military households. In other words, local officials cannot manage it, but Tiqi can manage it. But even so. Many times, ordinary households will have a shorter momentum when they encounter military households. After all, everyone knows that the three-point direction of acquaintances, and those Tiqi are also military households. Although they are not locals and may not be familiar with each other, what if they favor military households? If that is the case, why bother yourself?

In the Qiansheng Dynasty, the various privileges of military households did exist and were reflected in all aspects, and these were just one of them.

"You know, military households have many benefits and a decent status. I don't know how many people dream of being a military household. There are many benefits, but you also know that the children of civilian households are not like children of the listed households. They just want to sign up for military officers and have local military households to protect them."

Li Yiming looked at him with some embarrassment and said.

"You know, this insurance has never been done in vain."

Military households are guaranteed, just like the Tongsheng exam taking the county exam. The local entitlement student needs to be guaranteed by taking the county exam. Of course, this is not a waste of time, but requires some gifts. The Tongsheng participated in the county exam and registered as a soldier in the private household. The entitlement student provided protection for the Tongsheng exam, which is to support the backwards. If the Tongsheng, who was guaranteed by the Tongsheng, passed the Jinshi exam in the future, it also means that he has the wisdom to know people.

But when it comes to military households, doing security has changed its flavor. Doing good for other people is simply adding competitors to their own children. After all, the quota itself is very limited. Therefore, if a private household wants to find military households as security, in addition to finding relatives and friends, they often have to pay money, ranging from a dozen taels to a dozen taels. The ones they can buy are actually just a registration qualification. After being eliminated, it can only be said that he is not capable or his life is not good, no wonder he is.

"... Everyone is reporting on this recruitment now, but if we want to attract people, we have to find another way. I was wondering whether we can report this incident, which may cause a sensation in the Ming Dynasty. After all, this matter is shameless. You are a member of the list and must have some understanding of these matters. Moreover, it is easier for the children of military households to interview in the army, so I want to go to Dusi to interview those people,"

Su Yun is certainly very clear about the tricks in "being a security guard". Of course, he also knows that for the households, it is unfair to spend money to buy military qualifications, but there is no way, human nature is like this.

"Of course, if you feel it is inconvenient, I will go to find someone else. Look, look at this..."

Li Yiming asked with some embarrassment.

Looking at the editor-in-chief and thinking for a while, Su Yun looked up and agreed:

"It's okay, I'll go to interview this matter. Just like you said, it's always easier for me to go."

When Su Yun said these words, he didn't think that this interview was a big deal. In his opinion, the words said by the editor-in-chief were not big deals, they were all things that he was used to.

Military households may not be heroes, but they enjoy certain privileges. What the editor-in-chief said is only some of them. In the Ming Dynasty... being a soldier was a privilege in itself!

Since that's the case, it is naturally not that easy to join the army. Since it is not easy, it naturally requires some price.

So I thought so in my heart, but since the editor asked me to interview this matter, then go for an interview.

Su Yun said with a smile.

"Maybe I can meet some acquaintances there."
