As soon as the sun rose, the head of Beilin Village was full of people.

"Don't squeeze, come one by one!"

Hu Laosi shouted loudly while sweating profusely to maintain order.

Today is the day when the young master recruits his family, and the military households are not interested in being soldiers, but they are very interested in becoming the family members of the officials of the guard.

For the military households of the Ming Dynasty, being a soldier is the most difficult profession.

But Jiading is a very popular profession in Daming, so the military families are enthusiastic.

No wonder, this is the reality of Daming.

Li Chuan did not intend to put the recovered acres of land and military households into the official register, so he would have to pay taxes to the imperial court every year, not only would the burden on military households be heavier, but also be unusual, and it would offend the world's guards.

Even if you are not afraid of offending people, you can't deliberately take on hatred.

Therefore, these guards will become Li Chuan's family members in the future.

Looking at the other guards of the Ming Dynasty, they are actually the same.

The guards were ordered to go on the march, but in fact, the soldiers led by the guards were all their own families.

The family members who originally became the commanders had already made those military households very hot, but Li Chuan directly let it go, and the military households who became the family members will only collect 20% of the tax from next year, which makes the family members even more red-eyed.

Twenty percent of the tax, which is definitely the lowest tax in the health office.

Even if the families of those adults are at least 30% tax.

Therefore, the recruitment scene is a little more exciting than imagined.

In order to fight for a place for their men or sons, the military households blushed and had thick necks one by one, and they almost went straight to work. Originally, there was no family planning in these years, although the infant mortality rate was very high in these years, but it could not bear the hard work of military households day and night, and it was really common for a family to raise three or five sons, but there was only so much soil in the Jinwei Institute, the population continued to grow, and the per capita arable land has been decreasing, and the surplus labor force of military households has become the norm.

It is not uncommon for some military households to drown babies in order to have one less mouth to eat.

At present, the commander makes the adults recruit the family, which can not only reduce the mouth of the family to eat, but also bring benefits to the family, and the pragmatic military households can not rob it, this kind of opportunity is not common, even if the king of heaven and Lao Tzu comes, he can't let it.

"Don't quarrel, as long as you are eligible, you will have a chance."

Hu Laosi kept shouting with his voice, his voice was hoarse, but he still couldn't suppress the enthusiasm of the military households.

As long as you become a military household, the family's tax will be reduced to 20%.

Not only that, but after becoming a family member, he still has a tael of silver every month.

With such a good treatment, how can these poor and scared military households not be red-eyed.

"Don't squeeze, line up for me!"

Hu Laosi yelled at the military households who were desperately squeezing forward, and at the same time explained to a few family members in charge of registration: "Register the roster, the name, the age, how many people there are in the family, and how many old and young are all written clearly." ”

"I know, fourth brother, don't be verbose."

The family members waved like a fly, and at the same time casually agreed.

These family members were brought by Li Chuan from Jiangyin, and they are considered to be better at reading and writing, although the handwriting is not good-looking, not as beautiful as the dog's paw print, but at least they can read and write, which is also a lot of progress.

……

In the courtyard of the mansion, the family members were busy working, but Li Chuan and Li Man and Su Liang were turning over the ground.

When I was in Jiangyin, because I planted a lot of vegetables, I was very rich in food.

But when he arrived in Jinshanwei, there were only a few dishes every day, and as the days went by, he got used to the fresh vegetables that were available every meal, and Li Chuan was a little unsavory, so he was ready to open another vegetable plot in the house and plant vegetables.

Although you can buy vegetables on Taobao, it is not very convenient to make something out of nothing every day.

And the vegetables bought on Taobao are all grown by chemical fertilizers, and there is no taste of the green and pollution-free vegetables grown in this era.

"Young master, just do these old slaves, don't do it."

Li Man was still persuading Li Chuan while turning over the ground.

Letting the young master do this kind of work, Li Man and his family both felt a deep sense of guilt.

Su Liang and Wu Niang also felt that it was inappropriate, but they were not easy to persuade.

"Stop talking nonsense, keep doing it."

Li Chuan didn't think there was anything wrong, he bought plastic from Taobao and planned to build a greenhouse directly, so that he could eat fresh vegetables all year round regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, so that he could only eat Chinese cabbage in winter.

After two days of busy work, the land was finally put in order.

When Li Chuan was about to sow seeds, Li Changyue went to Jinwei Mountain.

"Young Master!"

Seeing his young master again, Li Changyue felt inexplicably excited.

Although the separation time is not long, he is used to following the young master into a well-off and happy life, and suddenly without the leadership of the young master, Li Changyue is really a little uncomfortable, so he will be a little excited to see the young master again.

"Good work!"

Li Chuan looked at it a few times, and saw that Li Changyue had a dusty face, obviously he hadn't had time to rest, so he said: "The yard where you live has been cleaned up by the family, you settle down first, rest and then talk about business." ”

"Yes, young master!"

Li Changyue agreed, and followed the family.

Nan'an, Fujian.

"Big brother, there's news."

Zheng Zhibao entered the study with an angry face, and said to Zheng Zhilong: "The news from Jinshanwei that the men and horses brought by Zheng Kui have been wiped out, and the three Dafu boats have also been captured by Li Chuan. ”

"What?"

Zheng Zhilong was taken aback, and said in a deep voice: "Then Li Chuan is only a few dozen families, no matter how powerful the firearms are, but the Dafu ship that Zheng Kui brought also has firearms, and there are even red-clothed cannons, how can the whole army be wiped out, what is going on?" ”

Zheng Zhibao said: "I don't know what happened for the time being, none of the people brought by Zheng Kui escaped this time, and Li Chuan's family seems to have been specially explained, and I haven't heard any useful information for the time being." ”

Zheng Zhilong's face was gloomy like water, and he said, "Send someone to find out as soon as possible." ”

Zheng Zhibao said: "Big brother, I don't think it matters whether there are Western goods or not, as long as we maintain our strength at sea, so that Li Chuan's Western goods can't come in, our silver will not be less." In order to capture Li Chuan, he has lost a lot of people, and there are really some gains and losses, so it is better to simply send a large army to destroy Li Chuan and avenge the blood hatred of his brothers. ”

Zheng Zhilong frowned and pondered for a long time before he said, "You bring three thousand men and horses to go in person." ”

"Yes, big brother!"

Zheng Zhibao was in good spirits and immediately responded with a bright eye.
