The war is approaching. The five forces of the Song, Jin, Liao, Xia, Mongolia, four emperors, and hundreds of thousands of iron-blooded men have gathered in the northwest to prepare for a grand battle at the foot of Yangshan (Heishan)!

However, on the Guanzhong Plain, few people knew that a decisive battle that determines the rise and fall of the world was quietly kicking off where they could not imagine. If there was no imperial list of "the emperor's effectiveness", this war would probably end and would not cause much trouble on the Guanzhong Plain... The principle of "the rise and fall of the world is responsible", now Zhao Kai will come up with it and say it, but ordinary men don't know it.

All men are very real men. If they want them to be responsible, they have to show tangible benefits... For example, the use of a hundred acres of land for sixty years!

Outside Lantian County, Chang'an Prefecture, a group of farmers had just finished weeds in the rented wheat fields and gathered together to chat. The content of the conversation was all related to one thing, which was the imperial list of recruitment effects posted just outside the Lantian County Government and Chang'an Third Zhechong Prefecture at the foot of Lantian Mountain!

"The emperor list says that as long as you bring your own weapons, horses, and armor to join the army, you will be awarded a superior merit... Does anyone know how great this superior merit is? Can you exchange it for a hundred acres of land in Xingzhou?"

"I know this. I heard from Master Lu in the village that said "Twelve Medals of the Tiance". According to the rules of "Twelve Medals of the Tiance", the military merits of the Song Dynasty were divided into four levels of great success, superior merit, middle merit, and hard work. The fourth-class merit can also be exchanged. Three hard work will be exchanged for one middle merit, three middle merits will be exchanged for one upper merit, and three upper merits can be exchanged for one big merit, and one upper merit can be promoted to a small level... That is, from lower merit to middle filial piety, from middle merit to upper merit, all require a higher merit.

If you can get a master from the top to the corporal, it is not enough to rely on one master, and you must have a master! This master can be exchanged with three masters, or you can get it at one time. If you can get a master at one time, you can jump to a master immediately, for example, from the right to the corporal. As for whether to get a master, the middle, or the upper body before upgrading, you will not ask about whether to get a master, the middle body or the upper body."

"But how great can a big soldier achieve great success? Only a general can achieve great success!"

"Hehe, this matter has been done by the government for a long time... According to the rules of the "Twelve Medals of the Tiance", the standards for merit at each level are different. The great achievements of a general and the great achievements of a soldier are not the same as those of a soldier. Therefore, it is not difficult for a useful scholar to make a great contribution. If he can ride a horse and shoot archery, it will be easier to accumulate a corporal. With the status of a corporal, he can be awarded a hundred acres of land and is qualified to be the smallest official!"

"Brother Liu Wu, why do you ask so clearly? Could it be that you also want to apply for a utility?"

"Hehe, um Liu Wu has a few pounds of strength. He has practiced arrows in the Archery Club and can still ride a horse. Why can't he apply for the benefits?"

"Medium utility? You need to bring your own weapons, horses, and armor to join the army... Do you have a horse?"

"Uh, no horse... but you can borrow it from Master Lu!"

"Borrow? Hahaha, you can afford it?"

"It's not enough to sell you Liu Wu!"

"Hmph, why isn't it enough? Let's tell you the truth... Uh, I have already agreed with Master Lu. As long as he can earn a corporal back, he will give his daughter a sum of money and buy weapons, horses, and armor as half of the dowry! In addition, he can get another sum of money!"

"What? There is such a good thing? Master Lu's daughter is a famous little beauty, and a lady from a wealthy family!"

"Brother Liu Wu, did you get Master Lu's words when you were asleep?"

"Hmph, how can you talk nonsense about this? Besides, it's time to win fame and fortune, and all heroes are coming out of the ranks! Well, if Liu Wu can make great contributions, how could he not be worthy of Miss Lu?"

"Brother Liu Wu is right!"

"Now it's time for good men to travel on their own..."

Speaking of Master Lu's daughter, everyone's eyes were straightened, especially those young and strong who had not yet found a wife, were a little envious and jealous. They were thinking about finding a way to steal Liu Wu's good things. A middle-aged man dressed in a scholar was coming over with two young men dressed in a scholar. He seemed to have heard the comments just now, so he shouted: "Well, Mr. Lu's daughter is not a hero... Who would like to fight for his life like Liu Wu? Well, you can also borrow your capital! If things are done, you should be regarded as Mr. Lu's son-in-law."

The person who came here turned out to be Lu Cuishan from the Lu family in Lantian. He was the cousin of the Lu Xiucai Lu Baoshan. He was originally a big landlord in Lantian and a wealthy family!

But now it has been lost due to the implementation of the military system and the Guanzhong Grand Procuratorate. Of course, aristocratic families like the Lu family in Lantian cannot honestly buy land and rent and pay taxes. Most of the land in their hands is occupied by official land or hidden land without taxes... Even if it is land with land deeds, it has owed land taxes for countless years.

So after losing political privileges and encountering a round of major inspections, the Lv family in Lantian lost most of their land.

However, the lean camel is bigger than a horse. The industry of the Lü family in Lantian is not only land, but also many businesses, workshops and quality warehouses... and their family also has a Lu Hanlin, so it is not too declining.

In addition, the Lu family in Lantian County is unparalleled in the prestige of the people. Although they have lost their privileges and most of the land, the big guys still recognize the Lu family's transactions and believe that they are honest and reliable.

Many of the children of the Lu family in Lantian have given up their business in the past two years and devoted themselves to business. Many of the Lu family's wealth has increased instead of reducing. Lu Cuishan made his family's family by renting land from the soldiers in Lantian to start a farm and selling grain, forage, livestock, and other transactions. He almost turned from Master Lu to Lu Baiwan!

Seeing Lu Baiwan coming, several young farmers who were talking about other people's daughter subconsciously stood up and looked at Master Lu and his sons a little nervously.

Master Lu held his beard and said, "What? I don't want to fight for wealth on the battlefield... It's a rare opportunity!"

One of Master Lu’s sons said, “What kind of way out can you guys have besides joining the army to fight for wealth? Not to mention the sisters of the E family, even the wives of small families, you can’t get it if you don’t have a lot of debts on your back!”

"That's it!" said another young master Lu, "Instead of living a cowardly life, it's better to join the army to fight... If you lose your luck and kill a general of the Jin thief, you will be in one step!"

Master Lu’s youngest son had the most poisonous mouth and said with a smile: “Our family pays the capital, you go and fight for your life. If you fight for it, you will be your brother-in-law. If you die... forget it!”

Brother Liu frowned and said to Master Lu, "Master, you only have one daughter..."

How can a daughter have so many people?

Master Lu laughed and said, "I only have one daughter, but I have dozens of daughters to marry in Lantian, don't worry, as long as I fight, there are all the little ladies of the Lu family who can marry... You have to work hard to kill the enemy!"

In fact, Master Lu did not intend to grant his own daughter to Liu Wu...unless Liu Wu can win a sergeant!

Because the corporals are the starting price for the soldiers of the government, there are many people, and they are not very valuable. However, at the level of the sergeant, there are much smaller ones, and of course there are even fewer sergeants. If Liu Wu could win a sergeant before marrying his wife, then he would have a great chance to climb to the level of the Xia Dafu in his life... And the Xia Dafu would definitely be a gangster. Military officers of this level were enough to serve as county magistrates or magistrates of the prefectures in the local area, and could even send state troops. In the past, most of the literati who passed the Jinshi had reached this level.

If such a son-in-law could take care of him, Master Lu would be able to do his big business with peace of mind!

There are many wealthy families in Shaanxi who have the same idea! In addition, many children of military families in the palace, as well as some warriors of the Qiang tribes, are eager to join the army and fight... So as soon as the imperial list of "the emperor's power" was released, the whole of Shaanxi was excited!

This time, I was really brave and happy when I heard about the war!

......

Dozens of light cavalry dressed in the Qiang costumes, flying like a wooden bridge mounted on the Lingzhou River, heading straight to the west gate of Lingzhou City. These light cavalry dressed by Qiang people were mostly young and strong, and everyone looked excited and eager to try. They did not ride on the horse steadily, but were riding horses and showing off their riding skills on the horse's back. Sometimes they stood up in the stirrups and looked around, and sometimes they drew their bows and arrows to shoot an arrow at a row of grass targets that were standing up under the wooden bridge! Some of them saw the tall city walls of Lingzhou shouting and shouting, and they were extremely excited.

Needless to say, these people are also here to be useful men for Zhao Kai!

They all came from the Qiang tribes and Qiang tribes in Hengshan. Zhao Kai was actually very good at these Qiang tribes, at least better than the Dangxiang people. These Qiang tribes and Qiang tribes not only had to serve in the military under the rule of the Dangxiang people, but also had to pay taxes. Most of the food and grass that the Western Xia soldiers came out of Hengshan were supplied by them, and the burden was heavy, you can imagine.

Under Zhao Kai's rule, these foreign tribes, the Qiang tribe only needed to send troops according to the official positions held by their leaders, and they did not need to pay taxes at all. Moreover, the warriors of the foreign tribe and Qiang tribe were also qualified to apply for recruitment and become useful... All treatments are the same as those of the Han soldiers! As long as they make contributions, they can still be promoted and wealthy, or even become generals and ministers!

Therefore, the heroes of the Qiang tribe and Qiang tribe were extremely enthusiastic about applying for the recruitment, and many tribe leaders even asked their sons (non-heirs) to apply for the recruitment!

Therefore, the Lingzhou City, where the recruiting utility reported, is now like a magnet, attracting warriors from all over Shaanxi. Yue Fei and Li Shifu, who were responsible for organizing them into a row, have been busy these days and have to deal with a lot of warriors who come to vote every day.
