Military land is the property of the state, and the "Xia Law" stipulates that no one can buy or sell military land for any reason. Not only those who sell military land without permission will be punished, but those who buy military land will also be held responsible. As for those who sell military land privately, the light ones sit in prison, and the heavy ones are killed and questioned.

But no matter which one it is, it is extremely cruel for a normal person. As a military household, Qin Buxian naturally knew such regulations.

"Say we're bloody? Come on, bring the witness to him, let this old guy see, does our Zheng family have any evidence? ”

The leader of the family looked disdainful, not caring at all what the onlookers thought of him.

In other words, he didn't pay attention to these people around him at all. Who's behind him? That's the famous rich family in the entire Xining Town-Zheng family, who is the town's envoy, and when he sees the people of the Zheng family, he has to give three points!

As soon as the words fell, I saw a person walking out behind many family members, who was dressed ordinarily, but his expression was full of cunning.

"Ding Quan?"

In an instant, people understood what was going on with the so-called private sale of military land in the mouth of the Zheng family. And this Ding Quan, they came to their senses, this person must have been brought over by the Zheng family to give false testimony.

"False accusation! Perjury! ”

Qin Bu's face turned red, he knew that Ding Quan was powerful, and he was a well-known bully in the town. It's not just a bully, he relied on the fact that he had studied in the county school and learned sophistry skills, and that mouth could turn black into white, which made it impossible to refute.

"I'll tell you Ding Quan, others don't know your details, but my old Qin knows it very well!"

"Come on! You save your energy, think that my Ding Quan's mouth can turn the thousands of family members into beggars living on the streets, not to mention you? ”

When Ding Quan said this, he looked proud, as if this was the fruit of his victory, and he could show off it all the time. The people on the side listened to Ding Quan's words and couldn't help but feel disgusted. It's just that because of the prestige of the Zheng family and Ding Quan's background, they can't show sympathy for Qin Buharm.

"Either scrape together enough two thousand taels of silver, or hand over the household registration of the military household, otherwise you won't be able to run away from the charge of selling military land privately!" The testimony of me, a witness, cannot be refuted casually! ”

People know in their hearts that the Zheng family is doing nothing. But they can only watch from the sidelines, even if they sympathize with Qin Buharm, they can only sympathize psychologically.

"Uncle Qin, don't pay attention to these people!" Among the onlookers, a middle-aged woman walked out, she was Wei Yuan, Wei Zijin's mother, "I believe that Zhong Yi Erlang can send these people away!" ”

"Aunt Wei, what are you doing here?"

The mystery of the Wei family made Ding Quan still have some scruples.

"This is a matter between their Qin family and the Zheng family, and it has nothing to do with you! If you really want to stand up for the Qin family, why don't you send your family's Wei Zijin to the Zheng family and make the main house for Young Master Ji Ping? ”

Although he had some scruples, he still didn't forget to laugh in his words. After all, Ding Quan was born as a ruffian, although he has studied in county school for two years and has a sophistic eloquence, but his nature is easy to change, and he is still a ruffian.

Wei Zijin, who was hiding behind Wei Yuan, was already flushed, obviously so angry that he couldn't refute it. Immediately, in the midst of the scene, there was a terrible silence for a moment, and no one spoke. Even Qin Buharm was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that Ding Quan would be so bold and openly tease Wei Zijin. Doesn't he know the abilities of the Mystic Guardian?

"If Zheng Ping dares to touch my sister's hair, Lao Tzu will make him unable to be a man!"

However, the silence did not last long before it was broken by domineering cheers. People followed the prestige, but they saw Qin Yi walking through the crowd, and behind him, there was a middle-aged man with a medicine box in his hand.

"Brother Zhongyi!"

Wei Zijin saw Qin Yi appear, and listened to Qin Yi's shout, his originally flushed face disappeared immediately, and then he became happy. She quickly came to Qin Yi's side, and the care she showed made Qin Yi very useful.

"Don't worry, I'm here, don't be afraid!"

Qin Yi touched Wei Zijin's forehead and whispered softly, showing his love for Wei Zijin, after all, this is the person he likes.

Wei Zijin couldn't help but feel warm in his heart when he heard these words. The corners of her mouth curled slightly, and a sweet look appeared on her face, as if she was immersed in this warmth.

It's just that the warmth didn't last long, and it was broken by the Zheng family: "Very good, Qin Yi!" If you say that, I think your days in the academy are over! ”

"Are you going to get out?"

Qin Yi didn't seem to hear the words of the Zheng family, he pointed his finger at the nose of the leading family, and his expression was full of domineering.

"And you, if I see you again next time, you don't even know your mother when I beat you!"

As soon as his eyes moved, he glanced at Ding Quan. In fact, Qin Yi had already seen what was happening in front of his house, but he didn't get out of the carriage and enter the house, but chose him to hide behind the crowd to find out what was going on.

Now it seems that the Zheng family probably wanted to use the reason that Qin Jia fell from a height and smashed things, so as to make a false accusation on the charge of selling military land privately, and then seize the Qin family's military household registration.

This is Qin Yi's most intuitive guess, after all, whether it is a child slave or two thousand taels of silver, it is not worth as much as a military household registration.

And behind all this, we have to start with the recruitment system of the Xia Dynasty. In Qin Yi's own words, the recruitment system here is actually a combination of compulsory soldiers and professional soldiers. Every year in September and October, it is the season to recruit conscripts, this decree is issued every year, and Qin Yi has already heard the news of this decree on the way when he went to the end of the town.

The "Xia Law" stipulates that people from civilian households who have reached the age of 16 must serve in the army for one year, and the children of military households are not included. But in wartime, all men in military households must join the army.

To put it bluntly, it is the recruitment system of the Xia Dynasty, which is divided according to household registration, one is a military household, and the other is a civilian household. Whether it is a merchant or an official, it is all classified as a private household. As for the military households, they have been passed down from generation to generation since the founding of the Xia Dynasty, in other words, they are the products of the world military system.

The children of military households are somewhat different from those of civilian households. Although they enjoy the privilege of not needing to join the army in peacetime, they are also destined to have to cultivate military fields all their lives, so they are poor.

In addition, although the number of military households is fixed, the household registration of military households can be freely transferred. However, this kind of transfer needs to be registered with the Division of Soldiers and Horses.

From the Hongguang Dynasty to the twenty-three years of Yanping, the Xia Dynasty did not have a large-scale war, and it lasted for hundreds of years. There was no war to fight, and the military households lived relatively comfortably.

This also means that in the peaceful and prosperous times, no matter what, the children of military families will not be forced to join the army.

When you reach the age, if you don't go to the army, you will be punished with money, and I am afraid that you will break the law and be sentenced to exile.

The life of the army, for Qin Yi, may be nothing. But for Zheng Ping of the Zheng family, it is a little difficult. He has been pampered since he was a child, and he does things at will, where can he stand the hard life of the army, let alone the strict discipline in the army!

This is probably the reason why the Zheng family, in front of the Qin family, threatened Qin Buxiao to hand over the household registration of the military household. Its purpose is to escape the recently issued conscription decree, you must know that Zheng Ping of the Zheng family is already sixteen years old, reaching the age of compulsory soldiers!

The Zheng family's family, as well as Ding Quan, saw that Qin Yi was so tough, and they all sighed in their hearts, and it seemed that today's task could not be completed. It's just that if you go back like this, you can't explain to Zheng Ping.

Their faces turned red, not only because of these reasons, but also because of Qin Yi's strong words.

The Zheng family in Dongcheng is used to running rampant in the town, and the family members under their hands naturally do not take ordinary people in their eyes.

At this time, Qin Yi's shouting was like a slap in the face, slapping them in the face. When did the family members of the wealthy Zheng family ever be scolded by lowly people?
