"Me too, I'm a veteran of Zhao Feiqi." The tall man said excitedly.
"Disrespect, disrespect." Heizi and Ge heard this and quickly saluted with clasped fists, their faces full of respect.
Zhao Feiqi is the face and pillar of the entire Zhao Kingdom. Every soldier is selected from hundreds of miles away. Even an ordinary soldier can be a centurion in other legions.
"With your merits, you should have a lot of land, right? Why do you still come to Hetao to open up wasteland?" Ge asked curiously.
He and Heizi were just ordinary soldiers with neither power nor fame in the local area, so they decided to come to Hetao to have a try. However, the opponent was different. Even the ordinary soldiers in Zhao Fei's cavalry must have low-level titles.
Judging from the thick evil spirit on the tall man's body and the empty sleeves, he knew how fierce the war he had participated in.
Such a person will definitely not lack military merit, and there is no need to take a risk.
"After arriving in Hetao, the land will be doubled from the original basis, and children can go to school for free. Children who stay in their place of origin cannot go to school," said the tall man.
Although there are colleges in other parts of Zhao State, they only cover the counties. There are no colleges in the lower towns and counties. Although the tall man is a sergeant, he does not have the extra money to buy a house or land in the county.
Although the land had to be reclaimed from scratch when we moved to the Hetao, and it took some hard work in the first few years, the land was doubled. In the long run, not only was there no loss, but it was also very profitable.
In addition to tall men, there are also many people with low-level titles who choose to move to Hetao.
"Others don't believe the king, but those of us who have fought with the king must believe the king. When our country of Zhao was in such difficult times, the king did not deduct a single reward from us. Later, he even brought back the bones of his comrades who died in the battle.
The pensions for my wife and children at home have been repaid. This has not happened since ancient times. In the past, it was not necessary to say that the money in the past was repaid. Now it is good if the money is not withheld. If not, it is said that the court has given such good conditions, but there is no such thing.
Under any conditions, I am willing to believe the king and move to Hetao."
Another man came over. Listening to his words, it was obvious that he was also a veteran of the Changping Battle.
But it is normal. In the Battle of Changping, the Zhao State mobilized the whole country and conscripted 450,000 men. Now if you randomly pick a strong man in the Zhao State, it is very likely that he will have participated in the Battle of Changping.
"Yes, others don't believe you, Your Majesty, but we want you, Your Majesty, so we came over after discussing it." Chuo.
Soon, more people gathered.
At first, everyone was relatively friendly, but after hearing that they were all veterans who had participated in the Battle of Changping, the distance between them instantly became much closer, and they all came over to chat.
What is a brother? Those who have carried a gun together are good brothers. Even before that, they did not know each other's names, but as long as they are comrades who participated in the Battle of Changping, they can rest assured that they will follow each other on the battlefield.
Give your back to the other person.
"Why did Brother Changsheng send his daughter to school?" Heizi couldn't help but ask. He already knew that the tall man's name was Changsheng.
"Why can't your daughter be sent to school?" Changsheng asked, bending down to hold her daughter in his arms.
Heizi was about to speak but stopped and said nothing.
"It's good that my daughter will get married in the future, but she is also her own child. If you want her to live a better life in the future, you must make her better. I don't know how to raise a daughter, but I know that at least reading and literacy can make her better.
She has gotten better." Changsheng said seriously.
"Okay, everyone, stop for a moment and listen to me. You need to register for admission. Everyone, prepare your household registration, line up, and come one by one. Those who don't have household registration will go back to get their household registration."
Just when others were about to say something, a voice from the distance interrupted everyone.
The dean of Jiuyuan College sat at the table and registered everyone in person. There were two teachers beside him to help maintain order.
Everyone was a little at a loss when they heard this, but then they realized that they were standing in line like in the army.
So in less than two minutes, these veterans lined up with their children, and others followed suit. The originally chaotic entrance to the college suddenly became orderly.
"What's it called?" the dean raised his head and asked.
"Heizi." Heizi said respectfully.
"I asked what the child's name was," the dean said helplessly.
"Call Goudan."
"Isn't there a formal name?" The dean frowned and stopped writing in his hand.
"No...how about...sir, please give me a name for the dog." Heizi said cautiously.
"The Book of Songs: Bei Feng says, 'Beat the drums and drill, and use the troops enthusiastically. I will go south alone on the city canals of the Tu Kingdom.' Why not just call it southbound." The dean thought for a while and then said.
He actually didn't want to rename the children, because if he chose one, more people would inevitably ask him for help in naming them, and he couldn't refuse.
But in just a few minutes, this was already the third person he had registered to be named Goudan. There were nearly a hundred people behind him. He didn't know how many "Goudan" were hidden inside. If he didn't rename him, there would be nothing the teacher could do after he enrolled.
call them.chu
Too many people are called by such cheap names these days.
Because the child mortality rate is too high, many people think that giving their children a nickname will make them easier to support and that the King of Hell will not take them away. Therefore, nicknames such as "dog eggs", "dog leftovers", and "pig babies" are better to cure diseases.
Get rid of diseases like this.
Therefore, even if he knew that he would need to name more children later, the dean still had to do so.
In fact, at this moment, most county colleges are going through a craze of asking deans to name them. Only township colleges do not need to do this because there are too few students and not many with the same name.
Of course, there are also deans who are keen on naming their children. These children were originally his students, and the names were given by him, which adds to the friendship.
Many years later, as long as one of these children becomes talented, he will receive huge rewards.
"Thank you sir, thank you sir. Goudan, no... going south, why don't you salute sir quickly." Heizi said excitedly.
After so many years, it finally has an official name.
"Thank you for going south, sir." The boy stepped forward and gave a respectful military salute.
He did not understand common etiquette. He only learned military etiquette from his father.
"Yes, he is a very smart boy. I hope that one day he will be able to lead Zhao Guo on his 'southern journey'." The dean looked at Nanxing and said seriously.
"Students will definitely do it." Nan Xing clenched his right hand into a small fist and said loudly.
"That's right, show me the household registration. Next time you register your household registration, ask the officials to change your name." The dean gently patted Nan Xing's head, "Enter the academy and study hard."
