When Ma Chaoren came out of the council, the two came out of the General Affairs Division, each chamber of commerce has its own general affairs, which is a place to deal with daily affairs and miscellaneous affairs, of course, there is also an accounting bureau, which is responsible for checking the income and expenditure of each chamber of commerce, of course, the biggest task of the General Affairs Department is to implement the tasks assigned by the council, this department is of course not as powerful as the council, and it is much busier than the council.

"Our Tiancheng Division and Zhenyu Division are a chamber of commerce, and eleven of the thirty-four soldiers killed in battle are from our two guards." As soon as Ma Chaoren came out, he explained to Jiang Dalin and Zhang Yanhong: "The council decided that I will go to comfort the families of the fallen soldiers on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce, and send pensions and goods. ”

"Okay, we're done with it too." Jiang Dalin didn't dare to slack off, he knew that the recent key affairs were the matter in front of him, if he did it well, it would be a big mistake if he didn't do it well, the chambers of commerce around the country attached great importance to the armaments in their own hands, and the merchants would run to the archers' camp when they were empty, of course, no one thought of trying to take the real command from Zhang Han's hands, but the merchant group was under the name of the chamber of commerce, and they simply regarded the archers as their own guards, although they couldn't get or master anything from the barracks, but these people did not ignore the close relationship with the merchant group because of this.

Zhang Yanhong said with a smile: "Things have been prepared, the immediate family members of each fallen soldier will directly subsidize fifty taels of silver, one hundred stones each of rice and wheat, and all kinds of miscellaneous items, including medicinal materials, cloth, ironware, etc., are also loaded with a cart, worth fifty taels, plus the fifty acres of land that the Chamber of Commerce spent two hundred taels to buy for each family, and these bereaved families will not be left without support in the future." ”

This pension is only given by the Chamber of Commerce to the fallen soldiers, and the merchant group will also give the fallen soldiers a pension according to the rules, and it is estimated that each fallen soldier can get at least a subsidy of nearly six hundred taels of silver.

Jiang Dalin muttered: "This figure is more than a hundred times the settlement fee given by the imperial court to each border army......

Before the border army enlisted, the imperial court would pay a one-time payment of five taels of silver, which was equivalent to the net income of a yeoman farmer for a year in terms of the income level of the people at that time, which was okay.

With the meager financial income of the Ming court, this silver can be regarded as a bloody cost.

Jiang Dalin and Zhang Yanhong also had their own carriages, but today they still sat in Ma Chaoren's car, and the three of them rushed out of the Acropolis together, first sent the bereavement and silver to the family, and waited for the family outside the Acropolis to finish the matter, they rushed back to the Acropolis, and continued to send the goods and silver to the family in the Acropolis.

"Okay...... Just now, the people in that village were going crazy. Ma Chaoren has been presiding over the council of the Chamber of Commerce for a long time, and has developed a temperament of both grace and atmosphere, but before rushing to the location and getting off the carriage, he couldn't help but sigh.

Jiang Dalin said: "No wonder these people, these things and silver, the landlords in their villages do not have this net worth, from the poorest peasant people, to the richer than the landlords, who can't be blushing?" ”

Ma Chaoren said with some uneasiness: "Did you send someone to protect it?" ”

"Of course it's sent, there are archers stationed in the village."

In the process of issuing bereavement pensions, many problems were also discovered, and there were also rich children like Zhang Chunniu who participated in the archers, but most or even the vast majority of them must be children of poor families, from poor to rich people all of a sudden, although it is the price of paying the lives of the children of the family, but it is still enough to make many people blush.

People's hearts are like this, if a family is rich through the efforts of several generations, it has long been recognized and accepted in the long process, and if someone is admitted to show talent, raise people, and enter the scholar, it is also recognized by the society to obtain the corresponding wealth.

China is a society where everything is inferior and only reading is high, and reading is harder than doing business, which is also everyone's consensus.

And only one person died in the family, and he actually obtained such a big fortune comparable to Xiucai's direct pursuit of people, why is this? I'm afraid that the first thing that comes to people's minds is such doubts, even anger.

After a number of incidents of extortion and looting of the families of the fallen soldiers, although the perpetrators received the most severe punishment, the Inspection Department also set a rule for this purpose, and increased the security of the families for a considerable period of time, and did not evacuate until a certain period of time when everyone's emotions had stabilized.

"Speaking of archers, not in front of you."

Zhang Yanhong's eyes were sharp, and he immediately saw the archers standing solemnly with guns at the door of his family.

The archers numbered a group, dressed in gray robes, neatly dressed, giving a sense of competence, and if those present knew the words of posterity, it would be the feeling of a "professional" or "professional" soldier.

With five archers in formation, the family of this small poor family appeared to be in good order, and there were no troublemakers.

Tiancheng Acropolis is a small city with a radius of about five miles, which is about the same size as the general county seat, and there are tens of thousands of people in the city.

The Chamber of Commerce and the Chamber of Commerce now have an absolute advantage in the city, but after all, this Acropolis is under the rule of the palm print command, the Chamber of Commerce is not a political power, it cannot cover everything, the new forces and the old forces have been fighting openly and secretly for many days, the former palm seal Zhang Wuchang In view of Zhang Han's strength growth and the relationship with Zhang Quanchang, the general soldier of Taiyuan, he has already managed to transfer away, the new commander Zheng Yuhe is a figure from a small general's family, the original family also started from Tianchengwei, which is considered a snake on the ground, this person has been in office for a few months, I don't like the Chamber of Commerce and the business group, and I have the willingness to cooperate with Han Qi to engage in cross-Chamber of Commerce, but it's a pity that the military attache at this level doesn't have much power and capital, so far, the idea is just an idea after all.

"Alright, it's here, let's get out of the car."

Ma Chaoren's face showed a solemn expression with a hint of sympathy, no matter what he really thought, at least the expression was impeccable.

"The old horse is really powerful, no wonder he is in such a position now."

"The two of us are far from close!"

Jiang Dalin and Zhang Yanhong followed, and after seeing Ma Chaoren's performance, the two couldn't help whispering.

There were many family members and relatives and friends, as well as neighbors and unrelated idlers who watched the excitement, and when they saw Ma Chaoren with a solemn face coming, everyone also turned solemn.

Although Ling Lang did not sacrifice his life for the country, he lost his most precious life to defend the township, and Zhang Han, the inspector of the inspection department, was not only heartbroken for Ling Lang, but also deeply proud of him. Mr. Zhang said that people are inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than the feathers, and the death of Ling Lang, as heavy as Mount Tai, now my Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Ma Chaoren, the Chamber of Commerce to give you a pension, to comfort the souls of the martyrs, but also to inspire more comers......"

The family of the archer who died in the war is not a big family, the male owner is a small craftsman who sells sugar living in the Acropolis, two sons and a daughter, the male owner is in his forties, the eldest son is the fallen archer, he has just turned twenty-two this year, the younger son is seventeen, his face is full of sadness and excitement, the girl is fifteen, and she is not married, and there is a look of fear on her face, after this incident, the girl's dowry must have increased greatly, and it is estimated that she can find a better person to marry.

"Thank you Mr. Zhang, and thank you Director Ma."

The hostess of the house still couldn't help crying, the face of the male owner was filled with excitement and pride, he took the symbolic pamphlet handed over by Ma Chaoren, and said: "It is not a loss for the eldest of my family to die on such a serious topic, we poor people are poor, and the boss is ......."

Speaking of this, the man was also a little choked, no matter what, all this in front of him is still the son in exchange for his life, what makes the family uneasy is because the family is poor, the eldest has not yet married, before the archer has saved twenty taels of silver, ready to set down the family affairs this year, who knows that the world and man will be separated all of a sudden, and now the life of the family is definitely different from before, but after all, the eldest son is no longer alive, and there is no descendant.

"Alas, mourning." Ma Chaoren has done this many times, he knows how to soothe, he said gently: "The deceased has passed away, there will always be this day in life, in your words, it is to die in a serious name, and the family can also live a good life, so that Lang Ru can see these things in front of him under Jiuquan, I believe he will also be very gratified!" ”

"It's this reason, it's this reason." Although the male protagonist is a man who supports the door, after all, he can't be compared with Ma Chaoman, and in a few words, he seems to have said a lot less sadness in his heart.

The people on the side looked at the family in front of them with envious eyes, and more people's eyes were always staring at the carriage transporting goods.

Packages wrapped in silver, grain, cloth, and ironware were all carried down.

When the land deeds of the last dozens of acres of land were taken out, the scene was about to get out of control.

Foreigners have no way to understand the deepest love of the Chinese for the land, even if there is no shortage of material after hundreds of years, as long as there are corners of the land, the Chinese will try to grow something, fruits and vegetables, in this period of Daming, a poor family suddenly has dozens of acres of land, this is really something that I never dreamed of.

"The year is not good, the yellow and white list is heavy, and it may not be a good thing for his family to take over these dozens of acres of land." A middle-aged man in the crowd couldn't help but whisper.

The only thing that makes people feel that they can appease their jealousy is that the annual income has been very bad in recent years, the land has become very cheap, and even some yeoman farmers and small landowners are on the verge of bankruptcy.

If you have land, you have to pay taxes, and you can't escape the yellow and white lists, and the gentry with merit and fame can also pass on the pressure, and there is no way for ordinary landlords and small yeoman farmers to pass on the crisis, especially now, when the annual success is not good, and each mu of land is also levied with Liao's silver, and the silver and white lists on the yellow list will be charged several times more, and all kinds of miscellaneous expenses, fire consumption, and the pressure of small and medium-sized landlords will be out of breath, and dozens of acres of land can be regarded as self-cultivated farmers at most, not landlords, and the pressure will of course be greater.
