Chapter 83 Shaanxi Three New Policies
Song Mingyi represents the interests of the local gentry in Shaanxi, and has a very close relationship with them, the imperial court excludes the public opinion to set up a military field private occupation investigation department, adds a large battalion in the northwest, and wants to delete military households, these things push Shaanxi province to the national reform stage, all people know that this is Zhu Youzhen's test of the waters, if Shaanxi is successful, then the young Zhu Youjian will launch a military reform and political change across the country.

The court is paying attention, the local government is also paying attention, if something goes wrong, the court will be disgraced, and all the blame will be on the Shaanxi officialdom, all these pressures will be given to the governor Yamen, and the political envoy will be announced, and relatively speaking, Song Mingyi will have more pressure than Li Shuo.
Because he had an excellent relationship with the local gentry, all the policies of the imperial court were to harm their interests, which put Song Mingyi in a dilemma.
In the past few days, the door of Song Mingyi's mansion has been closed, and no visitors have been seen, of course, this practice is not to show his support for the imperial court's law, on the contrary, he is very opposed to this kind of thing in his heart, feeling that the imperial court is so respectful of things, competing with the people, and it is not conducive to the rule of the Ming Dynasty.
He sent his cronies to contact the local big families in various places, so that they could share the weal and benement, advance and retreat together, and after making the matter bigger, he could also go to the imperial court and show the imperial court the power of setting up a military field private occupation investigation department.
When the big families from all over Shaanxi learned what Song Mingyi meant, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and the support of Lord Song undoubtedly gave them a shot in the arm.
After the imperial history of the Jingshi overseer arrived in Shaanxi, Cao Dezhang began an investigation into the private occupation of military fields.
Although there were some twists and turns in the middle, Cao Dezhang already had a charter in the time center of most of the month, cooperating with the governor's yamen to list the situation of the private occupation of military land in various places, and under the instruction of Li Shuo, he first sent people to negotiate and urge the large households who encroached on the fields to hand over the fields and pay the encroached grain.
Because the years are too long, if the number of years of encroachment is not provided by the rich households, and it is not credible to rely on the confession of the military households alone, Cao Dezhang and Li Shuo jointly negotiated to formulate a new punishment plan, if the military land is occupied more than 10,000 mu, after returning the acres of land, the income will be levied for ten years, if so much grain cannot be paid for a while, a fine can be paid, and when the military land is occupied more than 5,000 mu but not more than 10,000 mu, after returning the acres of land, the income will be levied for five years. However, when the military land is occupied for more than 1,000 mu but not more than 5,000 mu, after the land is returned, the income of one year shall be levied, or a fine shall be paid. For those less than 1,000 mu, only the military land needs to be returned, and no compensation is required.
This policy was established at the suggestion of Cao Dezhang, because Cao Dezhang knew the people's feelings in Shaanxi, and it was not only those big rich businessmen who bought military land, but also many poor people, and when they had silver in their hands, they wanted to replace it with their belongings, but the fields of those big families were rarely sold, so they went through the back door and bought a few acres of military land.
With the support of the governor yamen, they recruited more than 5,000 soldiers in half a month, and set up camp tents outside Chang'an City, and dozens of drill grounds were also built with the help of local people.
In fact, such a major event as the addition of the Northwest Battalion seemed a little insignificant in the face of the investigation of the private occupation of the military field, and the civil and military officials in the court were all worried about the investigation of the private occupation of the military field, and there was no imperial history to say bad things about the Northwest Battalion, which made Fu Wei and Wang Kele their place.
The 5,000 recruits were all in the prime of life, and under Fu Wei's proposal, these 5,000 people were set up as a cavalry battalion, and at this time, 5,000 people practiced riding on the horse farm every day.
In order to ensure that the new army had enough horses, Li Shuo of the governor's yamen first transferred 2,000 good horses from the guard, and negotiated with Shanxi to transfer 1,000 horses from the Shanxi guard, and purchased 6,000 horses from Mongolia with silk and silver, so that he could reach Chang'an in just one month.
Because the imperial court was negotiating an alliance with Mongolia, the relationship between the two parties was in the honeymoon period, and the purchase of horses did not seem so difficult.
When the new army of 5,000 people began to train, the military households were also facing a change, and their identities were about to change.
Some military households are very dissatisfied with it, but some military households are a little excited in their hearts, everyone knows that the situation in Liaodong is tense in the imperial court, who dares to guarantee that if the war in Liaodong breaks out and the border defense is tense, the imperial court will not attack the idea of Shaanxi Weisho, so when they learned that they were going to be deposed as military households, they were very happy, and the dissatisfied military households were generally without a way to make a living as Yuan Chonghuan said.
Although Lu Xiangsheng did not understand the situation in Shaanxi, he was also very concerned about the matter of cutting thousands of households, and went to all the thousands of houses with Dai Shihui to reassure people's hearts, and listened to Dai Shihui's plan for cutting thousands of households, which he did not raise the slightest objection to, because Lu Xiangsheng did not understand the situation and did not want to say anything.
This time, the military households were drastically cut and the entire thousand households were banned.
Dai Shihui was prepared to uphold the holy will and keep 12 thousand households, and the two thousand households in Chang'an only needed to reduce the number of military households, and then select the elite and make up the number of 1,000 households from the cut 1,000 households, and the 1,000 households in various places were determined by geographical location, and those with important geographical locations were retained, and those with unimportant geographical locations were all banned.
In Shaanxi, each thousand households set up a position of inspection of the thousand household battalions, convened all the people of the thousand households, informed the holy will and the decision of the imperial court, and laid out a pen and paper in public, saying that if you want to keep the identity of the military household, you can sign up now, and then the guard will know Dai Shihui to review, check that you can meet the conditions of the imperial court, if you meet the conditions, you can stay in office, if you do not meet the conditions, you can not escape the fate of cutting.
There are a lot of people who have signed up, accounting for almost half of the entire thousand households, but when they got to Dai Shihui, they were cut by most of them, and under the statistics of the officials of the command and envoy of the guard, many of them did not meet the conditions for retention of the imperial court, and all the thousands of households were deleted, the deletion of assets at home, the deletion of more than 100 fields, and the rest of the rest were those who had no way to make a living, of course, this data was not so accurate.
Dai Shihui's idea was very simple, according to the will of the imperial court, the imperial court said that the Shaanxi Thousand Households could only keep twelve, so he only kept twelve, and the armor could not exceed 15,000, and he did so.
Song Mingyi fidgeted in the mansion, watching Cao Dezhang and Li Shuo busy for more than half a month, and didn't even ask himself once, which made Song Mingyi a little uneasy, although the officials close to him set up some obstacles when the military field private occupation investigation, but it didn't play a role, seeing that the military field private occupation investigation department was established, seeing that Li Shuo and Cao Dezhang had a plan, but Song Mingyi couldn't do anything? People just put you aside and don't ask for your opinion, do you run up and put forward a different opinion? Wouldn't that be embarrassing to yourself?
Although the big families in Shaanxi ignored the imperial court's urging for food and silver, they did not see any new trends from Li Shuo and Cao Dezhang.
Song Mingyi knew that Li Shuo and Cao Dezhang were planning a major event that they didn't even know about to rectify these rich squires who did not obey the orders of the government.
In fact, as Song Mingyi thought, when the Investigation Department of Juntian's Private Occupation sent someone to the rich family's house with the account book to urge for food, Li Shuo conveniently discussed with Cao Dezhang and decided not to accompany these rich families to explain any reason, Li Shuo made a decision to use force.
