More than 100 stone grains, that is, more than 10,000 catties, and a bag of 120 catties is more than 100 bags, neatly stacked in front of the 100 official halls.

This courtyard is the core of the entire hundred households, and it is also one of the few tiled houses.

The gate of the three-bay room, there is a large open space outside the door, made of rammed earth, at least after more than 200 years, the ground has been trampled by countless people as smooth as a realm, even if it rains all day can not get any mud.

Entering from the gate is a martial arts field-style hall, in the middle is three halls, but also the official room of a hundred households, the wings on both sides were originally the place where the officials of the hundred households do things, the wing room on the opposite side is the warehouse where the ordnance is stored, the commander of each guard and the thousand households have an ordnance bureau, each hundred households also have a warehouse for hiding weapons, each guard has the task of making weapons armor bows and arrows, but now the weapons handed over by each guard have become less and less.

Further inward, there is the inner courtyard, which also has the main room and the wing, and there are also auxiliary rooms such as the horse house and the thatched house, which is where the entire official hall is located.

The hereditary military position of the Min family is a hundred households, and many ancestors have been in command for two hundred years, and they have known and guarded the command position, but what really remains in their hands is this hundred households and the official hall.

The couplets in the courtyard in the middle are proof that more than 200 years of ups and downs, and the rest is these.

Standing in front of the official hall, Min Yuanqi was not lacking in emotion, the courtyard in front of him represents power and inheritance, even after a few hundred years, many places still have Guanting Town, Guanting Village and the like, he is now the owner of this building, these poor, thin, hungry people in front of him are his subordinates, and it is also his responsibility.

This kind of thing is inexplicable, but just like Min Yuanqi may starve to death if he does not appear for more than ten days, if he does not take responsibility to heart, it is ethereal, and if he carries it on his shoulders, it is a heavy oppression.

Everyone didn't dare to say anything, only Han Sen stood on the stone steps under Min Yuanqi, slightly lower than Min Yuanqi.

"All the grain is divided according to the household, whether it is the Cao Yun army or the one who stays at home to fry salt, the flag army has eight buckets." Min Yuanqi pressed the knife and stood solemnly, and commanded loudly: "The small flag officials receive two stones per household, this time they send salt, buy grain, support the boat to go back and forth, and fight with outsiders. ”

More than 100 stone grain, distributed in this way, is directly divided into 100 stones.

Han Sen was stunned, Min Yuanjin, Liang Shifa and others were surprised, but they were also a little ignorant.

This point has divided Min Yuanqi's own 20%.

As for how much Han Sen gets, how much each small flag gets, the usual rule is that 100 households have the final say. The guard is like this, the bigger the official, the more he takes, just like the production of acres of fields, and the military attache at the command level of the guard post is directly divided into fifty percent, who dares to be more serious with these high-ranking officials?

"Han Zongqi went north for a hard year last year, and he didn't get any benefits, and he left two stones of more grain for Han Zongqi." Min Yuanqi continued: "I will make up three more stones, and Mr. Han will divide five stones. ”

"Lord Baihu," Liang Shifa couldn't help but say, "You have two components of yourself, and you still have to take out your own grain reserves?" ”

Min Yuanjin also said: "My lord, your food is not much. ”

Several small flag officials behind Han Sen all looked embarrassed, they usually followed Han Sen, although Min Yuanqi was a hundred households, they were emotionally closer to Han Sen. But this time the hundred households distributed the grain, all the small flag officials got two stones, you must know that the small flag officers in the guard have no status, usually cook salt and farm the land like the flag army, there is no possibility of eating more and occupying more, at most, it is to bully the flag army under his command, and get some insignificant benefits, this time the two stone grain is enough for the family to eat for an extra month, in the spring famine, this is likely to be life-saving food.

This kindness was in front of them, and they wanted to speak for Han Zongqi, but at such a moment, they couldn't open their mouths.

Han Sen also blushed...... He wanted to resign, but he was not rich in this general banner, the court has been using troops for decades, and the military salary of the battalion soldiers accounted for seventy or eighty percent of the financial expenditure, and the imperial court had already overdrawn the financial endowment, and even the food and salary of the battalion soldiers could not be guaranteed, from the Wanli period to Chongzhen, the battalion soldiers did not know how many times they mutinied. The guards were even more poor, and the banner soldiers either fled or struggled to support themselves. In a family like the Min family, Min Yuanqi now has less than 100 taels of belongings, and many of the previous accumulations have been almost consumed in the long time of these decades.

This is the case of the Wei family, there are advantages of being a conductor at the command level, and if you don't command properly, you will have to quit, and the popularity of the Min family has gradually declined in the past few decades, and the wealth has also shrunk significantly.

Min Yuanqi smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Han is hard, I see it in my eyes, so I don't have to shirk." After each family received the grain, the matter of frying salt was stopped for a while, and after two days of rest, we began to build a reservoir. ”

Han Sen hesitated for a moment, but still clenched his fists and said, "The subordinates have thanked the hundred households, then they will be ashamed." ”

Many people are still ignorant and don't know what Min Yuanqi means, but it is true to try to distribute food to everyone in 100 households, under the auspices of Liang Shifa and others, the ten small flags under the two general flags lined up respectively, and everyone lined up in a neat queue and began to distribute food in front of the 100 households.

More than 100 stone grains were distributed for more than an hour, and everyone was smiling on their faces, and the first batch of them couldn't wait to go home and start a fire to cook, and by the evening, the whole hundred households were full of the aroma of cooking smoke and rice.

Min Yuanqi's family did not have anyone to serve, originally when his parents were alive, there was a family in the family who joined him as a servant, which was also a common thing at that time, and the poor people were sent to the gentry and the families of the living people as slaves, which was used to exempt them from servitude, and there was also a salary to receive.

There are additional benefits to being a servant in a powerful house, at least you can be a pretending to be a tiger.

When Min Qianli died, the family left directly, and there was still a future for a thousand households, and a young man who had just taken up his post tried a hundred households, and he didn't know which day he would get out.

Min Yuanqi did not embarrass the family, this situation was too normal in the late Ming Dynasty, the powerful gentry bullied the people, and the slippery servants deceived the upper and lower levels, and the upper and lower were all influenced by them, just like the officials of the six ministries, in charge of the affairs of the ministry, and the will of the officials, saying that they were officials, and the real power was still above the officials.

The compound was empty, the yard was empty, and even the little flag officials were in a hurry to go home and share the joy with their families.

It was deserted, and the words of joy and allegiance of the people had just receded like a tidal wave.

Min Yuanqi is not surprised, let alone complaining, the food sent is not much, it is all brown rice, and it is the reward of the hard work of the Banner Army Yu Ding and his family, Min Yuanqi just returned the share that the Banner Army deserved to them, and it was still given in the way of giving.

The flag soldiers are not stupid, and they will return their loyalty only if they get more benefits.

Min Yuanqi doesn't expect everyone under the hundred households to be loyal to him now, and he will harvest a large number of loyal subordinates after sending a single grain, how is this possible?

Li Junsun and Wang Wumai did not leave, he was nominally a family member, but this time the back and forth performance was quite bad, Min Yuanqi was alone and the salt Ding scuffle, neither of them dared to go up to help, their father and ancestors became the ancestors of the Min family during the Jiajing Wanli period, and then this identity was also hereditary, originally changed their surnames to Min, and they were allowed to change back to their original surnames in the previous generation.

has been raised for decades, and once changed his surname, and his kindness is not shallow, but these two are very young, not a few years older than Min Yuanqi, and neither of them dared to help in a hurry.

This time to distribute the grain, the two of them had to fight eight buckets like ordinary flag soldiers, and according to the previous practice, they were treated the same as the small flag officers.

"Huh?" Min Yuanqi looked at the two of them, his brows furrowed slightly.

"The head of the house." Li Junsun's heart trembled, he had never seen Min Yuanqi with such an angry and self-righteous demeanor before, but in the past few days, it has often been seen, and invisibly, he has already felt afraid.

"The head of the house." Wang Wumai also said with great difficulty: "The Min family has been kind to my family for generations, and the last time the dock was against Yanding, I was timid and didn't dare to step forward, I was really ashamed......"

Li Junsun also said: "Please punish our sins, otherwise I will be uneasy, and when I go home, I am afraid that my father will beat me to death if he finds out." ”

Li Junsun's father Li Qizhu is more than 70 years old, almost 50 years before giving birth to Li Junsun, the old man for the Min family for most of the life of the time, when he was young, he followed the ancestors of the Min family to prepare for the Japanese, in the Yunti Pass many times to meet the Japanese invaders, is now the entire Dahewei is one of the few old people with actual combat experience.

Li Qizhu loves Li Junsun like a treasure, and it is impossible to kill him, but with the old man's violent temperament and the conduct of a veteran, I heard that the family did not dare to protect the head of the family, and I am afraid that Li Junsun will really be beaten violently.

"I don't care enough for you." Min Yuanqi sighed, and said to the two family members who bowed down to ask for sin: "As a rule, I will give you at least two stone grains and three taels of silver every month, but in the past ten years, my family's family has almost consumed." The original dozen or so families, now there are only two of you left, and I will give you an extra stone or two of grain at the end of the year, and you two families have no complaints...... This time, you are at fault, but you have not practiced martial arts seriously, boiled up your body and courage, and have not been able to fight in battle, and it is not an exaggeration to be a little timid and hesitant at the beginning of this matter. However, there is one indispensability in this matter, if you still think that you are the family of my Min family, you will come early tomorrow to stand guards, practice martial arts seriously, and if you encounter something dangerous, I will give an order, and you will have to go forward to fight for your life. If you can't do it, don't keep the name of the family, and like the ordinary flag army, I won't embarrass you, so as to be kind to the past. ”

Li Junsun and Wang Wumai are actually quite uneasy, as a family member, they sit back and watch the head of the family fall into the danger of being besieged, and in the past few days, Min Yuanqi has not paid much attention to these two people, and they received eight buckets of food like ordinary flag soldiers, and the two of them were uneasy in their hearts. Hearing Min Yuanqi's words at this time, the two men in their twenties felt a sour nose......

"The head of the family," Li Junsun said in a deep voice: "In the future, even if you take me as a knife, I will frown, and I will not be worthy of being a man." ”

Wang Wumai also said: "Rich and poor are only a temporary thing, with the mind of the head of the family, as well as this official status, it will be developed sooner or later in the future, and I will follow the head of the family, regardless of the wind and snow, the sword mountain and the sea of fire." ”
