In late August, after more than ten days of fermentation, the matter had already begun to reach Chen Wen's ears, even if it was just a whisper. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The method of collecting on behalf of Chen Wen came from the great rent of Shi Hou in the Qing Dynasty. It's just that at that time, the Taiwanese government only collected the rent for Shi Lang's family, and the Ming army in Zhejiang was growing day by day, and there were more and more people who needed to collect on behalf of them, from landlords to tenants, and the personnel involved were also growing geometrically, becoming more and more extensive, and it required a lot of manpower, material resources and time to complete it properly, so the appropriate collection of labor costs can also prevent it from becoming another financial hole.

It's just that with the strengthening of Sun Yu's supervision of civil officials and officials in various counties, especially the strict investigation and punishment of officials in the first half of the year, the fire consumption and return to the public began to be carried out in the four prefectures of Jinqu. The fact that civilian households can receive such treatment has made some military households begin to be unbalanced.

This imbalance was originally impossible, and the status of military households in the Ming Dynasty was much lower than that of civilian households, but higher than that of artisan households. However, in order to enhance the combat effectiveness of the army, Chen Wen has always cultivated the sense of honor of the soldiers, coupled with the great victories of the Ming army in Zhejiang again and again, as well as the tax exemption policy of bereavement and military merit, after the political and economic status has been improved, military households, especially those military families with military merit land at home, have generally appeared to be superior to others, which makes them more sensitive to policy.

"Chain reaction."

The green fingers pressed against the head, and when the eyes were closed, the tense nerves gradually began to relax.

"I didn't expect the lady to have such a hand, and it was really profitable to marry you home."

"The concubine and the aunt learned, clumsy, and they didn't press the right place just now. Thanks to the honey on the husband's mouth, he will say a nice coaxing concubine. Saying that, Zhou Yueying smiled sweetly, and then asked, "Husband, are you still worried about that matter?" ”

There were only two people in the study, and Chen Wengang was going to tease him, but he couldn't help frowning when he heard this question. "Yes, there are no small things in the army."

The Ming army in Zhejiang developed in the cracks, relying on the national consciousness of Yixia defense and the system of awarding military merits, which led to repeated victories, and the snowball of the general's morale rolled up. Compared with the high will to fight, tactics and formations are just icing on the cake, but it is precisely because of this that the morale of the military must be cultivated and cared for, especially in the field of military merits.

Because the officers and men of the Ming Army in Zhejiang spend many days in camp and go out on expeditions all year round, and have few days at home, renting tenants is inevitable, and even the people have been dissatisfied with the gentry and wealthy households because of the tenants' sublease of military fields. Chen Wen didn't have time to pay attention to this matter, it is the right of the tenant to rent whose land, and it is only when he is forced that he needs to be punished. If you have the ability to lower the tenant rent, leave more food in the mouth of the tenant, and will you have nothing to do with the tenant and change the owner to play?

Relatively speaking, Juntian's side is the most important thing. There are so many lands, and selling and exchanging them is really a great evil law, which must be strictly prohibited, so the rest is collected. Of course, it is also a way for the men in the family to live separately, but now the officers and non-commissioned officers are still young, and the children are in their teens, and most of them have no children yet, and they don't have that foundation if they want to divide them.

"Concubine, there is a problem, I don't know whether to talk about it."

With a trembling voice, this soft voice entered Chen Wen's ears, making him open his eyes at once.

In other words, it is the concept of this era, Si Chen, this is a big taboo, and women are not allowed to participate in political affairs, but Chen Wen is not educated in Confucianism, and the truth that women can be half the sky instilled in the nine-year compulsory education is always influencing him, so that he didn't dare to be late for the date......

"This is a family, husband and wife are one, does the lady still want to hide it from her husband?" Put his hands in his palms, just pull it slightly, and the woman behind her sat on her legs softly, only for a moment of sitting down and glanced at the door nervously, as if someone would suddenly come in.

"The concubine doesn't dare." Retracting her gaze towards the door, Zhou Yueying asked Chen Wen with a little doubt: "It's just that the concubine doesn't quite understand, the government and the army have to buy grain in previous years to prepare for the needs of the army, why do you have to go through the hands of the grain merchant and collect it directly from the military household, wouldn't it cost less?" ”

Harvesting grain sounds like it has nothing to do with the above things, but as long as he thinks about it, Chen Wen immediately understands.

When he first arrived in Jinhua, the land was too small to form a scale, and the grain collection channels were also in the hands of grain merchants. But in this case, the cost is bound to be higher, so that the limited money cannot get more supplies.

Even if the grain produced by the tenant is transported to the hands of the landlord, the landlord himself will not be able to digest it, and will inevitably sell it to the grain merchant in exchange for other daily necessities. Chen Wen originally planned to use the fee to transport grain for the military households, but according to the current development, it is obviously doing more harm than good.

As for the grain merchants, this is an excellent thing for them, and it is impossible for the Ming army to bear all the transportation by themselves, it must rely on their ships, and the grain will eventually be purchased by them, and it can even be said that for every additional acre of land reclaimed, they will make a profit. But for Chen Wen, these grain merchants can at most make the circulation of materials smoother, but it is impossible to get more surplus value from grain by improving the technical level, and they will not have this desire. The grain handled was either sold to the government or to the people in the towns, and it was just a group of pure businessmen who were raised.

"It really can't go on like this."

Sun Yu had long been dissatisfied with the purchase of grain through the way of the government, but Chen Wen had quickly restored the local people's livelihood in Quzhou by means of tax exemption and business travel, which made him and other officials who had opinions on it give up their opinions. At least in their opinion, Chen Wen has experience and ability in how business can promote the development of people's livelihood, but Zhou Yueying, a woman, can see more clearly from the perspective of a bystander.

Nowadays, the Ming army in Zhejiang is in Jinqu Yan four prefectures, especially Jinhua and Quzhou divide a lot of land, officers and non-commissioned officers fight all the year round, military families can not do too much, most of the military land is used to rent, and the output is basically cheaper than the grain merchants, but the government has to spend more silver.

Time has changed, and what was applicable to the original is not necessarily suitable now, but it is just ......

"I'm afraid that the order will change overnight."

For Zhou Yueying, Chen Wen is her husband, her man, and her lifelong dependence, so she naturally hopes to help Chen Wen. At the same time, she was even more hungry for Chen Wen as to whether those strange theories came up. This time was recognized by Chen Wen, and the anxiety in his heart that he was afraid that Chen Wen would be unhappy was also swept away, but when he heard the last sentence, Zhou Yueying hurriedly stood up and apologized to Chen Wenxing.

"The concubine is speechless."

Pulled back into his arms, Chen Wen gently kissed on the cherry lips. A man has the ability to play with outsiders, and he will only shake off his majesty with a woman, and the pattern will be there, he is not the kind of waste whose daughter-in-law will feel that her husband is depressed when she says a word.

"You're right, if you have ideas in the future, just tell your husband."

"Yes, the concubine listens to the husband."

There was no contempt, no dissatisfaction, and a honey-like feeling poured out of her heart, making her naturally lean on Chen Wen's shoulder and enjoy this sweet feeling. It's just that after a while, Chen Wen's hands began to become unruly.

"Husband, don't ......"

Seeing that Chen Wen didn't stop, Zhou Yueying immediately struggled, and then stood up angrily.

"Husband, this is the study!"

"yes, what's wrong?"

With a wicked smile on the face of the person in front of him, Zhou Yueying lost her temper when she boarded, so she had to say softly: "The study is a place to read, write, weigh official business, and do business. If it's at night, the concubine in the room will definitely greet you, but not here. ”

The main wife is completely different from the concubine, the maid, the maid-like existence, in ancient China, outside the male protagonist and the female protagonist, although it is said to be married to the husband, but it can also preside over the half of the family for the husband. Some inappropriate actions will be considered cheap, which is okay for concubines, maidservants, etc., but it is not suitable for the wife.

"Okay, then come and press your head for your husband. It was so comfortable just now, and it would be nice if I had this treatment every day in the future. ”

"The husband said that he laughed, as long as he was at home, the concubine would definitely serve the husband well."

Closing his eyes, he relaxed again from the spirit of Chen Wen, who was like a stream. It wasn't until a long time later that he felt that the pressure on his head began to drop, obviously a little overwhelmed, that Chen Wen hurriedly held Zhou Yueying's hands in his arms. However, the little woman did not sit on his lap as supple as just now, but moved a small round stool from the side and sat down, and stretched out her hand in a big way.

"It's almost dinner, and the concubine doesn't want her subordinates to see her husband like this."

Not long after getting married, the girl's heart is still there, holding the pair of soft wattles in her hands, Chen Wen gently kissed the two clusters of tender onion-like jade fingers.

"Lady has worked hard."

Just a word of thanks, Zhou Yueying suddenly felt that the fatigue of standing for a long time was swept away, and even the fingers that were already a little powerless seemed to have recovered some strength in an instant. "The husband is a big hero, there are a lot of big things to do, and the concubine is a woman, so it really can't help much."

"No, you've done a good job, and the remarks just made me understand something. I have already made a decision on this matter! ”

As he spoke, Chen Wen couldn't help but show a confident smile, and Zhou Yueying, who was looking straight at her, blushed slightly, fascinated. It's just that behind this self-confidence, there is a thought that he doesn't dare to put into his mouth at all always lingers in his heart.

"In a few years, what will emerge will be Guan Long, or Juncker, or some other ......" (to be continued.) )
