A gentleman uses wine to sing and sing, and discusses the world.

Outside the tent, the soldiers who smelled the wine sniffed hard, trying to forget the tempting fragrance coming from the officer's tent.

Unlike gentlemen, these soldiers composed of subordinates and commoners did not know the concept of the world.

Even some Jiaodong soldiers may have known for their whole life that the world is thirty miles around their own villages before joining the army.

Everything is as usual, and it should be like this, and the cycle of life and death is endless.

There is no past, no future, as if it is like this from the creation of the world, and then to the end of the universe.

As for the world, it seems to have nothing to do with them.

Several soldiers sat around the fire, grabbing the corn in the clay pot with their hands.

A older Qi soldier touched the "military coins" in his pocket, and planned to save enough money to go to the "Nu Lu" to have fun once after the war.

Military coins are not common currencies, and they can basically not buy anything in the market. Merchants do not recognize military coins issued by Qi at all.

However, as a special reward for service and military achievements, you can enjoy some treatment in the military paradise - you can use the accumulated military coins to go to the prostitute to sleep with women.

Qi and Yue were both the earliest countries in Zhuxia to implement the prostitute system. Qi was economically developed in the time, and Guan Zhong set up a nulu.

After the reform of the Duke of Qi, this system of official prostitutes was also preserved and became an important source of treasury income in Qi State.

There was once a real gentleman who believed that this was a bad habit of unkindness and justice and should be eliminated.

However, those who supported the reform of the Duke of Qi refuted it with great righteousness and believed that this had two benefits.

First, some cities and towns in Qi have begun to believe that wild alliances are bad habits. The development of industry and commerce in Qi during the Qi Huan era made women prefer rich or gentlemen with official titles.

After the Duke of Qi changed the military system and the reactionary reform, some people at the bottom might find it difficult to taste the taste between men and women in their lifetime, so setting up official prostitutes can solve some of their needs.

The second is that women now rely on men to live. Sishang has developed industry and commerce, so women can support themselves in textiles and other industries. However, Qi's industry and commerce were suppressed by Sishang, and agricultural labor is still respected by men.

Many widows undoubtedly make a living, which can solve the livelihood problems of widows and make them "follow themselves".

In addition, after having an official prostitute, some evil teenagers in the country can prevent bullying women by some rural people.

If this seems to make sense, coupled with the female neighbor system that had existed in Qi before, the official prostitutes in Qi have greatly developed: the country's industry and commerce are sluggish, but there are many merchants and smugglers coming and going to Si Shang, which does bring a lot of income to the Duke of Qi.

The standing army system under the new military system has a large number of recruited lower-level members who have left their hometowns, and it is even more difficult to solve the needs. Therefore, things like the prostitute system in the army appear as a way to reward military merits.

Since Qi has started a reactionary change, it is impossible to use land as military merits to the bottom, because some people get land and some people lose land. The nobles are now the basis of Qi's rule, and it is impossible for the nobles to cut off their own flesh.

This kind of military currency that accumulates service can pay the fees for the lower-level prostitutes.

The noble officers had wives and concubines, vacations, manors, and money, so they looked down on the corruption, dark, and extremely old widows or forced women at the bottom.

However, the soldiers at the bottom were very in need. They had no wives and concubines, and they could not afford to spend money and have relatively high prices. They needed to accumulate military coins to go to such the lowest-level camp prostitutes.

Basically, this kind of lowest-level military camp prostitute does not open to the outside world, mainly entertains the lower class of the army. Most of the women are either descendants of slaves, sold over, or they are robbed women and children in the occupation.

The veteran who is counting military coins is already twenty-eight years old this year, and at the bottom of this era, he is basically getting old.

He had served for six years, and his original family land was forcibly taken back by the nobles of the fiefdom, and only four acres of land were retained for them to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes from Si to make a living.

After the business is over, I dare to punish my private affairs.

The nobles' land seal required work, and they had to work for nearly twenty days every month. In addition, the time for planting and harvesting of potatoes and wheat was staggered, so they had to work for the land seal owners almost every day during the busy farming period.

The nobles in the fiefdom did not grow potatoes because the Si Shang demanded commercial grains such as corn and wheat or feed grains. The price of potatoes was too low and it was not worth selling them.

Later, after the winemaking industry in Qi developed, some emerging aristocrats planted potatoes and built some winemaking workshops in their fiefdoms, which led to some public fields also starting to plant these high-yield crops.

The 28-year-old veteran is similar to most of the lower-level village farmers. He has no surnames, only names, because only the surnames are qualified to be given by nobles.

Their fiefdoms have 19,000 acres of fiefdoms, and they manage two villages and communities. When they were recruited and served, they were sold according to the population of the villages.

The veteran was summoned to the army that year and served for several years. He had no chance to go back, and he didn't want to go back.

He has adapted to life in the army and doesn't know what he can do after he goes back, and what will happen after he goes back?

Continue to cultivate your own four acres of land, and then work for the nobles day and night?

In the army, there is at least a set of clothes to wear, and most of the time you can still eat enough, and you don’t need to be always trained every day. You can also get some military coins after the war, and you can go to the camp prostitute to relax after the war.

He didn't complain too much, and felt that it was the case. The nobles often said that there was a difference between nobles and lows. Look at the nobles who were very generous, dressed in fine clothes and food, and had a crown of jade. Even if they talked about the world, with swords and bows, and then looked at themselves, they did feel that there was a difference between people. No wonder the nobles were always noble and the lowly ones were always cheap.

After dinner, the accomplices sat together and burned a pot of water from the pot on the bonfire.

After the water boiled, it was boiling and the heat was steaming. He took off his clothes and approached the clay pot.

As the heat was smoked, the lice hidden in the clothes that made the soldiers at the bottom of the tiers crawled out by the heat, and were densely moved at the collar.

A group of people gathered around the fire and started routine entertainment activities every day, biting lice.

Look at who bites it, and see who bites it crisp.

A recruit pinched a full lice to death as if showing his trophy and showed it to his accomplices and said, "Tsk tsk! Such a big lice."

The others also agreed, "Big! It's so big."

It seems that this is not a lice, but a fun-friendly, expensive spoil that can be compared to display the light on one's face.

This time they went to the battle, but they only surrounded Ningling and did not capture them, so they did not grab any valuable spoils.

Before coming, the officers propaganda said that Si Shang was rich and could rob him after he was captured. Who would have thought that he would not be able to conquer the city and would have a great battle tomorrow.

It is difficult for these soldiers at the bottom to understand what etiquette and law are, which touched the nobles and gentlemen themselves. They just know that many nobles will cry for the world.

The world or etiquette, these things are too far away, far less important than the clattering lice that are bitten by them.

After the recruits routinely bite lice, they took the veteran's clothes and cleaned them up for them. At the same time, they asked with a flattering question: "Brother, didn't you say that Junhou had fought with the Mo family? Is the war tomorrow easy to fight?"

The veterans actually had never fought with the Mo family. Many years had passed since the Qi-Mo War. When the veterans served, the Duke of Qi had been broken.

In his impression, the Mo family had many cannons, good guns, and rich, but they didn't know much about anything else.

There was no big fight to siege Ningling. After a few days of siege, the building was transferred away just after digging. They didn't know what the situation was, because the officers would not tell them the intention of the war and what they wanted to do. It would be easy for them to know that the morale of the army would be greatly lost after the rear was broken.

The veteran thought for a while and said, "You can just follow the orders and fight. However, there is no way that the musket cannot hit him."

After he said this, the rest of the people surrounded him. Many of them were recruits who had never fought a war, but they knew that the musket was terrible.

Moreover, the quality of the muskets used by Qi State is very poor, and they often have their faces blown away, and their eyes are blinded by blowing flowers.

They had never seen each other before, and they were just like that after seeing it. When they got familiar with it, they just regarded it as a weapon, but this weapon was very dangerous.

When the veteran saw that his friends were surrounded, he said, "When I went to the camp prostitute two years ago, there was a woman who was a widow. His beloved used to do calculations."

Many veterans like him who have completely lost hope for life have the greatest pleasure of being happy among camp prostitutes, because life is like a pool of stagnant water. Even if they don’t join the army, they are still a depressed and tired life after returning. I don’t know if I can live tomorrow, so it is very common to find camp prostitutes to have fun.

The veteran said again: "After the woman's husband died, he had no income, so he went to work as a camp prostitute. This is what gentlemen said to sacrifice themselves for the country."

"She said, how could there be any muskets before? This is the world is going to be in chaos. His husband said, what is the difference between muskets and crossbows? It is because muskets have fire."

"Water can overcome fire the most. But there is gold in the musket, and fire is needed to overcome gold, so there is such a way to avoid the musket."

"I have never fought many wars with people with muskets before, so I forgot about this. As soon as you ask, I remembered it."

Seeing that everyone was looking forward to his reply, he said mysteriously: "We need water to overcome fire and fire to overcome gold. Before the war, friends can see whose urine is the yellowest. The yellowest drowning means that there is water and fire in it, which can overcome muskets."
