Chapter 11 Zhang Quandan's New Life

At this time, Zhang Quandan and his family entered the [Purification Camp] of the training base.

At the door of the cleaning bathhouse, the family was forcibly separated. Zhang Quandan originally wanted to grab his wife, but was beaten back by the aunt guarding the door with a stick. He was scolded: "When a woman takes a bath, a man can only get in if he cuts her!"

Zhang Quandan had to take his son into the bathhouse like two frightened pigs. Then the two strong men took huge brushes and slurped them over and over again, and almost brushed them off a layer of skin before they were released.

Then he sprayed a circle of potions all over his body, put on a new outfit, took a new bath towel, and the child also gave him a piece of maltose to eat in his mouth.

The original clothes were burned.

After coming out, I waited for a while before I saw my wife coming out of the bathhouse.

With a new dress and a clean and tidy face, Zhang Quandan suddenly realized that his wife was so young and beautiful.

Better than those young ladies from landlords!

Several fellow refugees who were "purified" with Zhang Quandan were so straightened by their eyes.

Not long after, a group of people who had received the "purification" were gathered, including men and women.

A instructor came over to take them to the militia dormitory.

Zhang Quandan was forced to separate from his wife because the men's and women's dormitories in the training base were separated.

In the next month, Zhang Quandan and a group of other people received militia training.

The daily courses are literacy, counting and queue assassination exercises.

His wife also needs to read, count and queue exercises, but instead of assassination, he learned how to use a loom.

After another month, Zhang Quandan, like other militias, began farming and construction. Because during a border patrol, he bravely fought with a group of landlords' servants, killing one person and capturing one person alive, so he was commended and gloriously joined the [Huang Tianjun] in the envious eyes of everyone.

Zhang Quandan is now a recruit under the 9th Battalion of the 3rd Division of the Fourth Army. He has a monthly salary of 3 taels, ensures food and accommodation, and also offers two sets of summer and winter clothes every year.

This military uniform is made of good fabrics, with excellent handmade and solid materials, and cannot be bought on the market.

Old military uniforms that are privately circulated can be sold for at least 1 tael of silver, and thick winter clothes can be sold for a high price of more than 2 taels of silver.

At the same time, the children of soldiers not only have free admission to school, but also have food and accommodation subsidies, so Zhang Quandan's son really doesn't have to spend a penny on his studies.

Ordinary people do not have to pay for entering primary schools and night schools, but they have to take care of their own food and accommodation.

Moreover, if you do well in the exam, you can get scholarships, and you can earn money by studying.

In order to implement Huang Chao's requirements, the Ministry of Education has invested a lot of money in guiding the public to read and read.

After finishing elementary school, if you pass the exam, you can be admitted to junior high school. Each junior high school student has a full tax exemption amount of ten acres of land for ten years, and will not collect eleven taxes. The amount of grain planted on the land belongs to your own.

If you pass the junior high school entrance examination and get promoted to a high school student, you will have a full tax exemption amount of 20 acres of land for 20 years.

If you can pass the examination in a higher subject, you will have thirty acres of land and a sixty-year tax exemption quota. You will basically never have to pay taxes on the land for the Ming Dynasty in your life.

Of course, talents who can pass the higher subject exams will not care about this little money. Every such talent will be rushed to be demanded by all parties. The salary starts at a few hundred taels, and you will not worry about losing money at all.

The reason why such a large discount subsidy was because the Ming Dynasty was really short of talents.

The Ming Dynasty had already embarked on the road of comprehensive industrialization, but the workers' population could not meet the requirements at all.

As long as basic education is passed, the agricultural population can be quickly converted into industrial population

Every worker creates far more wealth than the peasants bound by the land.

As soon as the Ministry of Education’s policy was released, a large number of academic masters in the Ming Dynasty began to appear.

These children who grew up from bitter waters are eager to get out of the difficult environment, try their best to seize the straw that changes their destiny, learn and learn.

And for these people, studying is really happy. In the past life, what kind of thing is not more tiring and harder than studying?

After learning physics and chemistry, their horizons have also broadened their horizons and are full of contempt for the Four Books and Five Classics that cannot create value in this era. They feel that the world is being seen by themselves little by little.

Due to the establishment of the examination system, classes in the territory began to flow.

The children of farmers are not necessarily farmers, and the children of workers may be able to pass the exam and become officials in the court.

There was even a chance to become an "emperor", which was unimaginable in the old society.

The Ming Dynasty had just been established for five years, but the people in the Ming Dynasty felt that it had been so long that five centuries had passed, and new things and new terms were constantly impacting the people's senses.

Everyone's life is getting better and better every day, visible to the naked eye.

Zhang Quandan, who has been promoted to platoon leader, was on vacation today. He excitedly rushed to the train station and bought a special ticket in a special military passage. He felt the envious gaze of the people around him, and he felt a sense of pride from the bottom of his heart.

And he was about to see his wife and children. He suppressed his excitement and maintained his image as a soldier.

When he came to the textile factory, he received his wife who had just gotten off work. He took out a gift from his pocket - a bicycle key, which made his wife very happy. The bicycle had just been produced and the production capacity could not keep up, and there was no need to sell it in the mall.

In other words, there are enough [bicycle purchase coupons] in the army to distribute them to officers as benefits for the New Year and the Festival.

With this bicycle, my wife no longer has to work hard to walk to and from get off work, and ride a bicycle to school to pick up her children, which is much easier.

The couple went to the restaurant to eat something, then went to the newly opened department store, bought a piece of soap, and then went to the junior high school of their children.

Because of evening self-study, students don’t finish school until 8 o’clock.

After receiving the child, Zhang Quandan showed off his parents' majesty and seriously asked about his child's recent learning situation. After learning that he had the full marks in a recent math exam, Zhang Quandan finally smiled.

The family of three, pushing a bicycle, and walking on the streets home with the lightly bright street lights, Zhang Quandan's heart was filled with satisfaction.

He suddenly remembered the "Great Good Man Liu Landlord" who almost destroyed his family a few years ago, and also remembered the Hongwu Emperor who had seen him from a distance.
