Just knowing about the battle between Shengping Salt Stack and Datong Zuowei, Zhu Da subconsciously thought that Shengping Salt Stack had nothing to do with Weisuo, but after pondering it calmly, he could come up with some details that were wrong.

Datong Zuowei is the real soil guard, which is not only a military force of the guard, but also an administrative area of thousands of households, and the natives living in this area are all military households.

In other words, Xiang Bo is a military household, Qin Xiu is a military household, and most of the salt stack forces Zhu Da has seen are military households, and those guard knights are also veterans who have returned from battle, or even personal guards who have no support.

This point was confirmed at the ceremony of receiving Yizi, the two general flags and a few small flags who came were not the people in the guard, but also the "old and high hundred".

It is said that they are all in the guard, in a sense, they are colleagues, and the military attache of the guard is a hereditary position, how many generations have been inherited like this, the intertwined entanglement relationship, this state of breaking bones and connecting tendons should be vague and ambiguous, but look at everyone's disposition, there is a mobilization of thieves to kill and kidnap, and this side is to use cavalry to raid and bloodbath, this situation is similar to the enemy country, so what is the friendship and family affection of colleagues and neighbors.

The question asked by Zhu Da made Qin Xiucai stunned, and he looked at it in surprise, Qin Chuan's expression at this time Zhu Da could recognize it, and it was clearly "such a smart child, he understands everything, but he asks such a question".

"It's a shame to bring you out of Baibao Village, otherwise this cramped village will really hurt you." Qin Xiucai sighed with emotion, he thought that Zhu Da didn't know because of the blockage of the growth environment, and Zhu Da naturally wouldn't explain such a misunderstanding.

The two knights who stayed behind were feeding the three horses, and also unloading the saddles of the horses, looking at the meaning of letting the animals rest for a while, Qin Qin was just about to run towards the field, but Qin Xiucai grabbed his hand and didn't let him move.

Qin Chuan dragged his daughter, wanted to speak but groaned, and only after a moment did he groan and said: "You don't know the roots, but it's not strange, ordinary military households can't experience this, let me ask you, do you know about the brother's falling out because of the separation?" ”

Zhu Da nodded, he had seen and heard a lot of this kind of thing, and there were realistic examples in Baibao Village.

"The biological brothers of poor families will turn their faces into enemies for the sake of dividing the family, and even have a murder case, what are they fighting for, it may be a piece of land, or even a pot and a foot of cloth, for this can make a fuss, not to mention ......"

The guards are not the same as the localities, there are proletarian households in Fuzhou County, but the military households in the guards all have a piece of land that has been handed down from their ancestors to cultivate, although it has been more or less usurped by the commander and thousands of households.

The share of the field of ordinary military households cannot support too many people, only the eldest man can inherit this identity, can inherit this field, this field has to support the old people who can not work at home, the children who are not adults, and the husband and wife who farm, in this case, the son other than the eldest son of the family must leave to fend for himself when he becomes an adult, otherwise, the family field can not support more adult men, these non-eldest sons of the males, is the so-called "Yu Ding".

So ordinary military households have been controlling births, but there is nothing too good means, children are still inevitably born, at this time it is very cruel, the health center and many poor areas in the Ming Dynasty, there is a tradition of infanticide, but other poor places habitually kill female babies, the health center is the opposite, if you really get a daughter, raise and marry, or can exchange the bride price, or can subsidize the family, but it is better than the extra boys.

Compared with the ordinary military households, the commanders, commanders, and commanders at the top of the guard, as well as the thousands of households who hold real power, all occupy a large amount of land and a large number of industries, and a large number of proletarian surplus members in the guard station are all slaves and tenants, cattle and horses, and work hard all their lives.

The commander and the thousand households naturally do not control births, they have wives and concubines, many children, not to mention the daughters, the sons also have enough property and positions to settle, the sons of the commanders and the thousands of households can often earn the next or more inferior positions, although the king law and the military law have no rules, it is easy to operate for the generals of the guard.

But the wealth that has been amassed with great difficulty cannot be divided into families, and the people may have this possibility, and the children and grandchildren will divide it equally from generation to generation, and in the end there will be nothing left, but under the system of the guard, there is no such possibility, because the person who is the eldest son will inherit his father's position, completely suppress his brothers in terms of power and status, and will definitely occupy the largest share, and then repeat the cycle, and so on, even if it is the second son who commands the envoy, there will be poor children after three generations.

If it was just when the guard was first established, decades and hundreds of years have passed, what should happen and what will happen, everyone can see clearly, the poor military households have nothing to think about, and they have long died of that heart, but they can command the children of thousands of households, as well as the children of the children, who will be willing, especially if they have enjoyed it, they have seen it, and they will lose it when they become adults, and they can only watch their brothers take everything, and they can only ask for charity in front of their brothers, which will make people who have ideas feel uneasy, in a sense, It is even heavier than the brotherly hatred of the poor family, because there are more and greater interests to be fought for.

Commanders and thousands of households of this level, the brother wall is far more than ordinary people, the children of the high-ranking military attaché of the guard are far more in the army and business than others, since there is no hope of inheriting the official position and land property of the family, then go to Bo a background and wealth, but the risk on the battlefield is too great, it is not easy to earn military merits, and the possibility of injury, disability or even death is not small, so the vast majority of people choose the road of business.

Although the children of these high-ranking military attachés in the guard station are not as good as their eldest brothers, they are much higher than the starting point of ordinary people, they have the way, the capital, the manpower, and the force, and the probability of success is much higher than that of others.

“...... Our family is also a category, the eldest son inherits the family business, the second son studies the imperial examination, but Datong is a border fortress, the martial arts are prosperous, and the literary affairs are very declining, and there are a few of them, most of them are going to do business, if it is in the heart of Zhili, Henan, Huguang and other hinterlands, it will be very different, what is the show talent from the Wei Institute, and the people and jinshi are ordinary ......"

Qin Xiucai saw that Zhu Da was eager to learn, so he spoke in depth and detail, and he accepted Zhu Da with the intention of accepting apprentices, which could be regarded as preaching and solving doubts.

As he spoke, he carried Qin Qin on his back, still in that "swaddling clothes", the horses were almost resting, but Qin Xiucai and the two knights did not get on the horse, but led the horses forward, and the direction they went was exactly the opposite of the centaur of the Fang Cai team, Zhu Da could probably estimate that he was now in the right direction.

The narration continues, when the guard was first established, the whole world was in ruins, and the field was the most secure wealth, and later, the high-ranking military attachés encroached on the tuntian of the military households, embezzled the grain tax paid, and the interests on the tuntian became greater and greater, anyway, this represents the hereditary military position of wealth and power, which is the most valuable and precious.

But now, the world has been peaceful for a long time, the output of farmland is far less than the income from business and trade, and the people are greedy, no one will dislike their own money, no one will be disgusted with more means of making money, the commander of the guard and the thousands of households began to get involved in this piece.

Normal business is actually fine, it is nothing more than common business competition, but those profiteering livelihoods are different, such as illegal salt, such as trade with Mongolian tribes on the steppe, these areas that are not protected by the royal law are naturally the law of the jungle, and the weak eat the strong.

“...... The battles here are all about human lives, and some businesses have been fought since decades ago, and the enmity of three or four generations is entangled......"

“...... But entangled in grievances and hatreds used to be a family matter, but now it's mostly business......"

Even if this generation is a brother, after three or four generations, the gap between the rich and the poor is getting bigger and bigger, and the relationship is naturally becoming more and more estranged.

“...... Although Datong said that there were wars with the Tartars every year, there were really few big battles, that is, Emperor Wuzong fought a tough battle at that time, and the guards became more and more unusable, so they didn't need to go into battle for a long time, so when it was too peaceful, there were more and more people, do you know how many commanders there are in a guard? ”

Qin Xiucai asked questions as he walked, Zhu Da still knew a little bit about this, and some people in the village had discussed it.

"There is one commander, two commanders are the same knowledge, and two commanders are in charge." Because this question is too simple, Zhu Da deliberately said the deputy.

Qin Xiucai shook his head with a smile, and Qin Qin, who came out of the back probe, said with a smile: "Brother Zhu, you are wrong, we have a total of four commanders in the guard, eleven commanders and twelve commanders. ”

So much? Zhu Da subconsciously thought that this was a joke between someone and Qin Qin, but after looking at Qin Xiucai, he realized that it was true.

"In the Taiping place, there are a lot of grades, and there are more and more officials, our guards are hereditary inside, and there are those who are sealed outside, and they have to be hereditary after they come, and there are also those who are named, this is not a special case of our guards, each guard is like this, but there is only one commander in charge, called 'this management', and there are about five or six people who can have practical management with the same knowledge and affairs, and there are fewer thousands of households and deputy thousands of households, but there are more than one and two pairs, and these things can also be said to be 'Yu Ding'." Qin Xiucai joked, but Zhu Da felt that this analogy was really appropriate.

There are naturally contradictions between the real power and the idle, some people can't catch more real profits, so they naturally have to open up another situation, but everyone wants real profits, and if there is more on one side, there will be less on the other side.

"The things in the military household of this guard are nothing more than that Zhengding takes more, and Yu Ding takes less or even can't get it, it's unfair and unfair, how can you not fight hard."

Listening to Qin Xiucai's summary, Zhu Da came to his own conclusion: "The contradiction in the guard house is, in the final analysis, the problem of Zhengding and Yu Ding. ”
