Chapter 119: The Lijia System
Slippery Town.
Liu Juntao rushed over with a few guards and young horses, and saw Hu Dexing, Sun Xu and Meng Fanchen who were bedridden and recuperating from their injuries in the Baihu Institute.
At this time, Sun Xu and Meng Fanchen were slightly injured and could already limp down to the ground, so Liu Juntao asked a few guards to help the two go out for a walk.
After that, Liu Juntao looked at Hu Dexing, who was a little miserable, and suddenly couldn't help laughing, and tears flowed down his eyes with laughter.
Seeing this, Hu Dexing snorted coldly, and said angrily: "I said Juntao, are you going too far?" Didn't you say that you should make a show? Why are you so ruthless! I also specialize in leg fighting, what if I am disabled in the future and can't go to my wife! ”
Liu Juntao laughed for a while and said; "Brother Hu, don't worry, if you can't get a wife because of this in the future, I will be responsible for the matchmaker and marry you a third or fifth wife!"
Hu Dexing glared at Liu Juntao and said, "Okay now, Lord Baihu has given an order to let the three of us stay behind." Jun Tao, you really dare to think and dare to do it, you can think of such an idea, but don't say it, it really works! ”
"Of course! The simplest and most straightforward way is the best way! ”
Liu Juntao paused, and then said: "Okay, now Brother Hu, you don't have to go north, what are your plans for the future?" ”
"I really haven't thought about it."
Hu Dexing sighed and said: "In a few days, the Lord of the Hundred Households will lead his troops to Ren Chengwei, and these Hundred Households will exist in name only, only me, Sun Xu, and Meng Fanchen are left, and it is really hard to say where we will go in the future!" ”
Liu Juntao said: "Brother Hu, I think these hundred households should not stay any longer, once the imperial court and Warat are fully developed, it is good that you have a strong army under your command, and you can make meritorious contributions, otherwise you can only wait for death, it is meaningless!" ”
Hu Dexing looked lonely when he heard this, and said, "Leave the hundred households? So where can we go? ”
"Come to Yushan Town!"
Liu Juntao said with a smile; "Don't tell Big Brother that now my Yushan Town Escort Team has just been expanded, and there are already nearly 6,000 people, and there is a shortage of cadres like Brother Hu!"
Hu Dexing was taken aback when he heard this, he never expected that Liu Juntao's men and horses would swell to such a point, how long would Liu Juntao lead Yushanji?
"Jun Tao, where are you going!"
"Seal the wolf Juxu, Le Shi Yanran! Drink Ma Hanhai, return to the river in the west! ”
When Hu Dexing heard this, a throbbing suddenly rose in his heart, isn't this the ultimate dream of the Chinese warriors for thousands of years!
"Seal the wolf Juxu, Le Shi Yanran! Drink Ma Hanhai, return to the river in the west! ”
Hu Dexing muttered and repeated, his eyes shining, and said: "Jun Tao, there are so many sages and famous generals in China, and they can't achieve such great feats in their lives, do you think our escort team can achieve it?" ”
Liu Juntao said with confidence: "It will definitely be realized!" ”
"Why?"
"I have a magic weapon!"
"Divine weapons?"
Liu Juntao smiled and whispered something in Hu Dexing's ear, Hu Dexing's eyes suddenly widened, and he was speechless in surprise.
In the afternoon of the same day, Liu Juntao left the Baihu Institute and rushed to Dong'e County with several young guards.
This time, when Liu Juntao arrived in Dong'e County, he went directly to the street to make purchases, and then went to Qianhu Yamen to meet Huo Qianhu.
That night, Huo Qianhu set up a banquet in the newly opened Zuixian Building in Dong'e County, and invited Zheng Yaowu, the magistrate, to come over, and Liu Juntao accompanied him.
During the banquet, Huo Qianhu said with a smile: "My lord, this is Liu Juntao, the person in charge of Yushan Collection, whom I mentioned to you. ”
"Oh?"
Zheng Zhixian was a little surprised, looked Liu Juntao up and down, and said, "Very young!" What a boy hero! ”
Liu Juntao hurriedly got up and arched his hand, and said: "The adults have praised it falsely, how dare the grass people!" ”
Huo Qianhu said with a smile: "My lord, what I mentioned to you a few days ago, you ...... it?"
As he was talking, Liu Juntao also got up and left the table and brought over a large gift box next to him.
After opening it, Zheng Zhixian saw that the gift box was full of white silver, which was very dazzling, and he was happy in his heart.
"Haha! Say! It's all my own family. ”
Zheng Zhixian said with a smile: "Jun Tao is concerned about the imperial court, in order to share the worries of the imperial court, he actually spent money to settle the villagers, such a good deed, as a parent official, how can I not care!" ”
Huo Qianhu nodded and said, "That's right!" ”
Zheng Zhixian pondered for a moment and said, "Yushan Town! Good name! In this way, after I go back, I will inscribe a plaque for Juntao and send someone to send it over. As for the Fish Scale Atlas and the Yellow Album, I have also mobilized people to change them as soon as possible. The most important thing now is to redraw the Lijia of Yushan Town as soon as possible! ”
Regarding the Lijia system of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Juntao also has some understanding, which is the cornerstone of the Ming regime!
The Lijia system was the grassroots form of political power in the Ming Dynasty, and it was also one of the foundations of the imperial court's implementation of the Yellow Book system.
In the early years of the dynasty, Emperor Hongwu formulated the rule of 110 households for one li, which initially laid the foundation of the Lijia system. In the fourteenth year of Hongwu (1381), the imperial court ordered the implementation of the Lijia system throughout the country, and the original grassroots organizations in the villages of the Ming Dynasty were basically integrated into this unified system.
The method of compiling the lijia is that every one hundred and ten households are divided into one li, and the ten households with the most grain are served as the lichang, and the remaining 100 households are called the first li. The widows, widows, and lonely households in each mile who cannot afford to work are taken under the control of these 110 households, which are called abnormal households.
The ten lieutenant chiefs take turns to serve in a cycle of ten years, and the order is pre-arranged according to the amount of grain, and every year a lieutenant chief leads ten first-class chiefs to serve on an errand, and is responsible for "managing the affairs of one mile".
In the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu (1391), when the imperial court created the Yellow Book for the second time, it was stipulated that the integrity of the original rural division of "capital" should be maintained when compiling Lijia. For example, there are 600 households in one city, and 550 households are divided into five li, and the remaining 50 households are assigned to the main capital, with the name of the chief of each li with the management of the errand, and it is not allowed to allocate other households to make up for it.
For the elderly, disabled, children under the age of 10, widows, and households from other counties, they are still classified as abnormal households. In this way, households other than 110 households are divided into two categories: "managed households" who are required to perform errand work and "abnormal households" who do not have errand labor, although in many places the two are often confused. In addition to the lieutenant chiefs, there are also the posts of the elders in each lieutenant, who are responsible for indoctrination, persuasion of peasants, and the trial of minor civil cases.
After the establishment of the Lijia system, Emperor Hongwu set up the old man system in Lijia for the purpose of education, and the Lizheng in some places was basically served by local respected old people.
The first task of the lijia was to provide the imperial court with the necessary servitude, and the arrangement had to take into account the balance of the people and property among the li, so that the division of the larger villages and towns inhabited by the wealthy and large families was inevitable; On the other hand, the imperial court tried to maintain the relative integrity of the existing geographical and blood relations, so it emphasized that "where the chief is arranged, he must not leave the capital", and in the areas where the grain chief system is implemented, the grain chief management area is also divided on the basis of "capital".
In this regard, Liu Juntao can be said to have a deep understanding, the influence of the Ming Lijia system is very far-reaching, even in the Guangdong region in later generations, you can still see the remnants of the Lijia system: clans.
At this time, Zheng Zhixian attaches great importance to the Lijia system, which is a major event related to his own evaluation, and he must not be sloppy at all!
Therefore, Zheng Zhixian instructed: "Jun Tao, the A system here is the cornerstone of our dynasty, this time the Yushan set is upgraded, and other things can be delayed a little, but the division of A here must be reported as soon as possible!" There must be no delay! ”
Liu Juntao naturally understood the stakes, nodded and agreed: "Don't worry, my lord, I will personally supervise this matter, and within half a month, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation!" ”
"That's good!"
After discussing the matter, Huo Qianhu and Zheng Zhixian pushed the cup and changed it again.
During this period, everyone also talked about the fact that the imperial court had drawn troops to the north, and Huo Qianhu's face swelled with sadness, and Zheng Zhixian and Liu Juntao both persuaded a few words.
Huo Qianhu also sighed heavily, only caring about drinking, that is, he was in no mood to chat.
During this period, Liu Juntao learned that Huo Qianhu was going to lead the people of his headquarters to set off early in the morning and go to Ren Chengwei, so he hugged his fists and said: "My lord, you must cherish this time when you go north!" ”
Huo Qianhu also sighed in his heart when he heard this, and said, "Okay! If I can come back alive, let's get drunk again! ”
