Qin Bai's modification will definitely usher in a wave of construction. The problem of silver is easy to solve, not counting the tens of thousands of taels of silver that were transported this time, there are still more than 30,000 taels on Yongsheng's public account. As long as matches can continue to be produced, Qin Bai will not lack a steady stream of money in his hands.

The key is building materials and manpower. It's so remote that there is a shortage of stone and timber to transport it alone. And just six or seven hundred people here? What about the construction until the Year of the Monkey?

Putting aside this question for the time being, Qin Bai asked Dong Chuan: "Xiucai, can you recruit people nearby?" ”

Unexpectedly, Dong Chuan was suddenly happy: "Second Brother Bai, the guard is full of young people eating idle meals. You can have as much as you want. When you came, didn't you see people fighting? It's just that they're rushing to do the work. ”

"Oh?"

When it comes to those military households, not only Dong Chuan, but others also have a contemptuous expression.

There should be a lot of articles about the bitterness of military households, so I won't be verbose here. And the source of military households is the system of the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, there were displaced people and abandoned land everywhere, and as a court, it was necessary to establish a household registration and reclamation system, so that taxes and forced labor could be collected in the future, otherwise there would be no way to establish a rule at all. So at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang followed the system of the Yuan Dynasty and established the military household system of the guard.

Don't rush to criticize here. During the period of Zhu Yuanzhang, the military household system was very advanced and very important. After all, the Yuan Dynasty had nearly 100 household registration systems, which were used in the Ming Dynasty, and there were only four or five types of military households and artisan households. This is a kind of progressiveness, and it may be that over time, it will completely break the restrictions on household registration and liberalize the free movement of people. However, no one expected that the military household system would slowly become an ancestral system that could never be changed, because the military household system was so easy to use!

The specific content of the military household system is also not verbose here. Anyway, the oppression is deep enough, and the life of the military household is getting more and more difficult. The key is a question of population growth. There are so many fields in the army, but only the eldest son of each family can inherit, and the other children have no land and cannot escape from the guard at will, so how should they live?

If you are honest, you will stay in the guard house as a tenant. If you are a little more active, you can only run away! However, even so, there are still many people who are idle and have nothing to do. So when the construction of a new village began here, it immediately attracted many military families who came to look for work.

Therefore, even half of the civilian households in the military are looked down upon, and they are greatly discriminated against in terms of status and property.

Especially where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and some hundreds of households nearby, that is, villages, the military households in them naturally form a group, basically there are a few leaders, and they are competing to occupy those jobs, so here, the group frame is basically 369, and the small frame is every day, Dong Chuan They have long been accustomed to it.

However, as soon as Qin Bai heard this, he felt that something was wrong. To tell the truth, Yongsheng is a mixed club, can you hire people and let them mix a small club? Taking a step back, those who lead will definitely take the lead, won't this tap be won bravely? Do you really think that these people are vegetarians?

Faced with Dong Chuan's schadenfreude, Qin Bai immediately scolded: "Confused! Do you want to wait for them to play a big boss, and in the end, the big bully is not counted, and there is a dove to occupy the magpie's nest? ”

This scolding suddenly made Dong Chuan break out in a cold sweat. Don't think that if you have a lot of money, you will be able to do everything. Poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, and this is the territory of the guard. That is, they have just started to hire people, and those people's hearts are not aligned. When they form a group, in the end, they can't say that they are the main anti-guest.

Dong Chuan hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "Second Brother Bai, the student has done a bad job in this matter. Students will definitely change! ”

"So be it! Prickly hair, I'll leave it to you here later. Huo Dong instructed, "Xiucai, after the handover, you will go back to Jingjiazhuang with me." ”

Dong Chuan has the shortcomings of being a scholar, and he has very little experience in the rivers and lakes. Wang Qiwa is honest, but she also has few means. They're not very well suited to explore here. To put it simply, it's okay to do the right thing, but there are too few flexible and black-and-white means.

On the contrary, Ding Hao is more suitable. And Ding Hao couldn't stay in Jingjiazhuang in the first place, but this time he brought his mother and sister and some of his subordinates together.

Seeing Dong Chuan's ugly face, Qin Bai scolded with a smile: "What do you want?" I lack a paperwork by my side, and I wanted to exchange it for you! ”

……

Since the people arrested were local military households, Qin Bai was ready to reprimand a few words before letting them go. But what I didn't expect was that a guest came to visit, and it was Guo Kedao, the deputy Qianhu of the Fushan Institute, who came.

"Second Brother Bai, my brother has a reluctant request. The villagers begged to come to the door, saying that there was some misunderstanding in your place. That group of ruffians, it doesn't matter if you beat and scold, can you save face? And it's better not to hurt people's lives? ”

"Brother Guo, if you open your mouth, my brother will definitely release people here. But if you want to talk to them, is this to give you face? "Shunshui favor, Qin Bai will definitely not let it go in vain.

Sure enough, Guo Kedao was very happy. But then he seemed to be a little embarrassed, and after retreating, he discussed and asked, "Second Brother Bai, my brother really has something to ask for this time." Are you interested in doing big business? You paid for this Lingshan Guard? ”

"Poof!" Qin Bai almost didn't catch his breath. This is just like the modern question - are you interested in buying the Qingdao Military Division? Isn't this a crime to be caught and killed? You don't like to live too long, right?

One thing to say, Qin Bai was so curious at this time that he couldn't help but ask, "How much silver?" ”

"Twenty-four thousand taels. Full of silver, paid in one lump sum! ”

Qin Bai was really puzzled, what Guo Kedao said was exactly what he said, and he didn't look like he was joking. He's supposed to be a businessman, huh? Does it have a talent for death?

Unexpectedly, seeing that Qin Bai was suspicious, Guo Kedao told the ins and outs, and what he didn't expect was that such behavior was really commonplace at that time.

This starts from a few months ago, Dengzhou Sailor School Review:

During the Jiajing period, in order to prevent the invasion of the Japanese invaders, the imperial court greatly strengthened the Dengzhou Naval Division, and also set up a staff general to lead the Naval Division. Although in this era, not much attention was paid to the threat at sea. But Marina Bay is too important, and the Dengzhou Naval Division and the Tianjin Guardian Naval Division are like an iron lock, guarding the eastern gate of the capital.

Up to now, the Dengzhou Sailor has not been much deserted. And nominally, the staff of the Dengzhou Naval Division also commanded the Dengzhou Guard, Lingshan Guard, Aoshan Guard, and other guards along the coast to prevent possible invasion and threat from the Japanese invaders.
