Chapter 460 The cheering surnames
In Xianyang City, in the major restaurants and teahouses, people who had been busy all day gathered together, chatting while waiting for the food to be served.
"Thanks to His Royal Highness, so many projects have been brought in, so that the winter days that had no livelihood in the past have become prosperous now."
"When the Xianluo Railway line is completed next month, I will take my wife and a few children to Luoyang City for a stroll, and then go down the canal to see what the land in the south of the Yangtze River is like in the newspapers. different?"
"It is said that the land in the south of the Yangtze River is much warmer than that in Guanzhong. Now we are all wrapped up tightly. In the south of the Yangtze River, a woolen sweater is enough."
"I heard that people in Lingnan are still wearing a single shirt, and Persian people can hardly feel the cold winter months. Why are they so different?"
"This shows that the territory of my Daqin is so vast now, and this place is so big, naturally there are all kinds of strange things, and everything is omnipresent."
"We and the common people can be regarded as catching up with the good times. Let's live a good life, and we can open our eyes."
"That's not true. If it was before, the whole family would have to huddle in the broken house around the firewood pile to keep out the cold. How can we have enough food and clothing now? Even the mutton can be eaten every now and then for a tooth-beating sacrifice."
"If you want to eat meat, it's not easy. Go to sign up for the Navy Fleet. The food there is not good. There is meat every time, and there is no shortage of chicken, duck and fish."
"You can also take a battleship to patrol every sea area in Daqin, let alone a journey of ten thousand miles, a journey of one hundred thousand miles is only a year's work."
"It's a pity that when joining the army, apart from killing enemies and making meritorious service on the battlefield, there is no salary to receive, and the distance from home is too far. Otherwise, I really want to sign up to join the army."
"Why do you think those countries are so cowardly, so that I, Daqin, almost have no targets to obtain war honors."
A big man complained with a depressed face, which immediately caused a burst of laughter.
At this moment, there was a commotion in the restaurant. Everyone heard the sound and looked over, but saw a few young people dressed as students, discussing something loudly.
"Everyone, good news, good news!"
"According to the news from the Daqin Military Academy, our Daqin military service system is about to be revised."
"After the adjustment, every Daqin man only needs to serve three years of military service after he becomes an adult and before the age of 35."
"If there is a special contribution, such as an invention that is beneficial to the country and the people in the artisan's way, it can be reduced or exempted as appropriate."
"And if you are willing to serve as a soldier all the time, after passing the assessment, you can turn into a professional soldier. You can get a pretty good military salary, and the family members will also have corresponding subsidies for housing, children's education and medical care."
"Now, I don't have to worry about having no one to take care of my family after joining the army."
Several students excitedly jumped onto the small stage in the center of the restaurant and announced loudly.
The crowd suddenly became noisy.
You must know that Lao Qin's military service is quite heavy. As long as he is an adult man, he must receive regular training every year. Once there is a need, he must put down various jobs and go to the battlefield.
Although this made everyone in Daqin a soldier, and there was no need to worry about the source of soldiers, it also disturbed the lives of many people.
After all, adult men are the main labor force of a family. Once they are recruited, the livelihood of the whole family will be affected.
If it was before, the whole family was having a hard time anyway, so it would be better to fight on the battlefield. If they could win meritorious service, it would be enough to improve the family life.
Joining the army is also a good way out.
However, with the development of the Great Qin Dynasty, people's lives are getting better and better, and there are more and more means of making a living. This irregular military service often becomes a problem.
Especially now that the Great Qin is too strong. Although the battlefield is very safe, there is almost no credit for killing the enemy. The border soldiers still have a certain amount of subsidies, but the county soldiers and county soldiers are not even as good as the government servants.
This also made the enthusiasm of the people of Daqin to join the army faded a lot.
After all, everyone still has to live.
Killing the enemy on the battlefield, defending the country, everyone has no complaints or regrets, but irregular service in peacetime delays production, and there is no subsidy, so there must be some hesitation.
Now all adult men only need to serve in the military for three years, and they can also choose the time of service, which is easier for everyone to accept.
Moreover, in the new military system, even during compulsory military service, there are certain living allowances. If you are willing to turn into a professional soldier, you will not only have a considerable military salary, but also various corresponding subsidies. The family members can arrange to live near the station. The enthusiasm of the people to join the army has increased a lot.
In particular, many young adults who originally wanted to join the army but had to give up because of the need to support their families began to think about it one by one.
After the promotion of this new military system, enlisting in the army can not only serve Daqin and repay the kindness of His Royal Highness Ying Yu, but also let the family live a good life. Wouldn't it be possible for everyone to take care of each other, the best of both worlds?
"As expected of His Royal Highness, you are always thinking about me and the people!"
"From now on, even soldiers will have royal rations!"
"Haha, now, I can rest assured to prepare for martial arts!"
"I have served in the military for more than three years. I can take care of my family with peace of mind and don't have to worry about being called up suddenly."
"I'll sign up tomorrow. If my family can join the army, I'm not afraid even if it's going to Persia, or the extreme north and south."
The common people started talking one after another, with excited expressions on their faces.
Among the armies of the Great Qin, there was even a sound of joy.
This new military system, the biggest benefit, or their active duty soldiers.
The existing merits and treatment will not be reduced in the new military system.
Instead, on the existing basis, plus military skill assessment and competition, as long as they perform well, they can apply to become professional soldiers and start receiving military pay.
This kind of thing that increases income for nothing is definitely a good thing. How could the soldiers be unhappy?
Even many generals are very excited.
Because they were still worried that they would not be able to retain talents after they were not able to obtain meritorious service.
But now that the new military system comes out, once you become a professional soldier, you will serve the Daqin army for life, with various welfare guarantees and pensions when you get old, which can definitely stabilize the morale of the army.
Moreover, according to the new military system, there will be many new positions in the Great Qin Army, such as commanders in major theaters, etc. This is also an excellent opportunity for generals and schools to perform.
As for a small number of personnel, although they are dissatisfied with some of the terms of the new military system, there is nothing they can do.
You know, this is the reform proposed by His Highness the Crown Prince, and the first emperor used the seal.
Given the prestige these two had in the hearts of the Great Qin soldiers, there was absolutely no chance for them to be lucky if they dared to make a move.
