On the first day of October, the order to divide the land had already been issued, and Jiangxi began to divide the land, but Zhejiang, where many soldiers and soldiers of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming armies lived, was in a different situation. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

On the official road of Jinhua County, Shi Daniu's old lady was going to the Baihu Office in Tangya Town, where their military registration belonged, with two women from the same village. These three women, one is the daughter-in-law of Deputy Captain Cheng from the same village, and the other is the daughter-in-law of two recruits who were only assigned to their village in the first half of the year.

In the Ming Dynasty, all military households were untouchables, even in the later period. Shi Daniu's old lady, I remember that when she just entered Jinhua Mansion, she wanted to tell her son that the daughters-in-law were all subject to the white eyes of those households, so that her second son could not get married until he died in battle.

However, in recent years, with the implementation of the military merit awarding system, Zhejiang has an economic foundation, and its status is naturally far better than before. Especially those families who have been allocated a lot of land in the army are already small and medium-sized landlords, and the word untouchable is now some people who can't eat grapes or whose interests have been damaged in recent years, and they will occasionally take it out to sour it, and in the eyes of ordinary people, it is already a shortcut to make a fortune by serving the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Ming Army.

Because of this, the eldest son can marry the daughter of a small landlord in the village, and he is also a well-known landlord in the village, and his status is naturally very different. In a similar situation, whether it is a veteran family like theirs, it is much easier to find a wife with those recruits, and this little woman is an example.

Along the way, the three women sat on an ox cart and chattered non-stop, which was nothing more than a matter of dividing the land. This time, the deputy captain surnamed Cheng divided more than 100 acres of land, and even the little woman's man also divided dozens of acres of land, but Shi Daniu participated in several major battles, but he didn't share much land, and it was about the same as the recruits of their team.

"My family said in a letter that this time the land is less because the hereditary military position has come down, and my grandson can start as an officer if he joins the army again in the future, so there will be less points."

As soon as these words came out, it was an envious admiration. The deputy captain surnamed Cheng is said to be able to correct this time, and he can also be promoted to a high and low position, and the two recruits are just a record in the merit book. Shi Daniu was the worst mixed among the soldiers who followed Chen Wen on Dalan Mountain, but this time he could also be promoted to a sentry commander, and he was a high-ranking and low-ranking officer. In the words of the supervising officer of their battalion, if it weren't for Shi Daniu's poor literacy ability, a bureau would have been easy, after all, he was a veteran who came down from Dalan Mountain.

"Brother Da Niu is really not an ordinary person."

"Who said it wasn't, the king was the reincarnation of Wuqu Xingjun, and that majesty would definitely not be close to ordinary people. Brother Da Niu has followed the king from Dalan Mountain, and he can't say that he is also a heavenly soldier and a heavenly general, who came down to help the king sweep away the Tartar demons. ”

“……”

At the beginning of Yuyao's hometown, the people in the village said that Shi Daniu was stupid and silly, that is, a farmer, who had been digging and eating in the soil all his life, and had no great interest. At first, I didn't think much of it, after all, there was no comparison, but then I saw more and my heart was high, so naturally it was different, and it was not pleasant to listen to - they are all people, why can't my son mix better.

Nowadays, the family has been allocated more and more land, and the days are getting better and better, just like the world turned upside down. Listening to these compliments and admiration here, Shi Daniu's old lady was even more beautiful in her heart, as if it was a kind of compensation psychology in person, which was extraordinarily useful.

"My family Da Niu wrote to him, and the prison officer in the battalion told him that he would go to school in the martial arts school after a while, and it would be different after learning."

"Wow!"

The cult of knowledge was more serious in ancient China than in other countries. The youngest son of the Shi family is now boarding and studying in the Boy Scout Academy, and the joke of going home to read the newspaper to his father and mother during the Chinese New Year has long spread throughout the village. Now even Shi Daniu has to go to the academy to learn the art of war, that is the art of war, in the eyes of ordinary people, it can only be learned by a general, compared to the lower-level officers and the landlords in the village, this kind of identity is immediately different.

Amidst laughter and laughter, the ox cart soon arrived in Tangya Town. In the eight prefectures of eastern Zhejiang, especially the six prefectures of Jinquyan and Taiwen, the folk horses and mules have long been bought out by the government, and in addition to boats, ox carts and donkey carts are relatively common means of transportation. The owner of the ox cart also wanted to buy something in the town, so the three of them got out of the ox cart and made an appointment with the owner of the ox cart to return home.

No more than the owners of the ox carts, they all have official business to handle on behalf of the men in the family. The daughter-in-law of the recruits is more special, Shi Daniu's wife and the Cheng family's wife are for the tenant rent in Quzhou this summer. This money was originally distributed by the thousands of households in the county, but later, considering that the soldiers in the army went on the expedition, many of the families only had women and children, and it was too far away to be safe, so it was changed to receive it from the hundreds of households in their respective towns.

Today is the first day of the first month of October, which happens to be the first day of the summer harvest and distribution of tenant rents, and the courtyard of the hundred households is already full of military households and their families who have come to wait.

There are many kinds of things to do in the Hundred Households, and the Hundred Households Office is only an administrative unit that goes deep into the people in Chen Wen's design. Those who lined up in front of them, some handed over the slips issued by the army and left with a handprint on the thin sheet, while others asked the scribe to register their names, places of origin, and place of residence in a mess, and they could only leave after drawing a charge, which took a lot of time.

It's not the first time this has happened, but Shi Daniu's old lady still complained to the two women, such as "Today is the day to receive the tenant's rent, and if there is something else, you should come over on another day, so you don't have to wait so many people".

However, complaining is complaining, in addition to serving the local military households, the hundred households also have the responsibility to manage them, in order to line up to offend the officers and scribes in the hundred households, they still can't do it, so they have to line up according to the rules.

The team moved forward slowly, Shi Daniu's old age estimated that it would take more than half an hour for them to take their turn, and he was thinking about whether to suggest to the golden hundred, and in the future, he would line up in the hundred-household office to bring some long chairs for everyone to sit on, and he would not be as tired as now. Unexpectedly, the man who had just arrived not only did not leave immediately after the completion of the process, but slapped the office desk with a slap, and the loud shout also came.

"The tenant rent of last year's autumn harvest, when my wife came to pick it up, I gave it in units of two, and the money, cents, and cents were said to be unfound, and this year's summer harvest was like this. Why, if the zero is not silver, why don't you give it?! ”

Hearing this, Shi Daniu's old lady leaned out a little, and saw that Jin Baihu wiped a handful of sweat, and then explained to the man: "Brother Zhu, isn't it impossible to find it." The above is a ingot, we are a hundred households, not a silver shop and a shop, the silver cut is too much and the cut is less is not easy to explain. Didn't I give you the fraction of the previous and this time, and the rest of the fraction will be the next time. ”

Jin Baihu's voice was not very loud, but in the courtyard where the quarrel had already become audible, Shi Daniu's old lady still vaguely understood.

The man surnamed Zhu, she knows, lives in a neighboring village, and is a captain-level officer. Yushan was injured in the first battle, but when he came back, he found that his daughter-in-law had stolen men, and it was rumored that he was in a uproar. The speech here is obviously with the smell of alcohol, but people with a green hat are extremely despised, and he is just a captain, but this Jin Baihu looks like he is aggrieved, how to listen to it and feel that he is empty-hearted.

The quarrel in front continued, and the lady of the Cheng family was still watching the excitement, but at this moment, Shi Daniu's old lady's face changed suddenly, and she looked at the note sent back by Shi Daniu that was written in Suzhou yards and Chinese characters and stamped with a seal, and recalled it again, and immediately pulled the Cheng family lady beside her.

"Cheng family lady, did your family give a fraction of the tenant rent that was harvested in the autumn of the year?"

"Nope."

As soon as she answered, the lady of the Cheng family seemed to realize something, and in the next second, Shi Daniu's old lady immediately put this hazy feeling in front of her.

"You calculate, your family's fraction of last year's autumn harvest and this year's summer harvest are not enough for one or two pieces of silver."

"Okay, that doesn't seem to be enough."

"My family doesn't have enough."

The conversation between the two women immediately fell into the water as if they were literate, and in an instant it stirred up a wave. Most of them can still make up enough for one tael, but those who can't make up one or two are obviously much more excited, and the whole courtyard is soon filled with denunciations demanding full payment, and even those who are not in a hurry to take out all the odds and charges have become intolerable.

The officials of the Golden Hundred Households and the Hundred Households explained bitterly, but these military households and their families did not care about so much, especially those men in the war barracks, and they consciously felt that their status was not lower than that of the officers of the guards, and there was still a reason for this, so they were naturally unforgiving. The quarrel was deep, and the captain surnamed Zhu grabbed Jin Baihu's neck and asked him to pay the silver in full.

However, how to say that the hundred households are also administrative units, and the hundred households are also serious officers, and the military households who are shouted by the open mouth of the hundred households and the closed mouth of the hundred households on weekdays are like this, and they feel that their prestige is greatly damaged, and the anger in their hearts is also immediately provoked.

"There's no king's law, there's no king's law. Come on, beat these people out of the official! ”

Jin Baihu pushed the injured captain away, and his official uniform was also ripped off. Seeing this, the reserve soldiers on duty in the hundred households also rushed over with sticks. I didn't dare to fight, but a group of strong men quickly cleared out the old and weak women and children in this courtyard.

The gate of the courtyard was closed, and Jin Baihu also shouted in the courtyard, saying that the silver can only be taken like this, and those who agree will come again tomorrow, and if they don't agree, they won't give a cent, anyway, they won't take it today, it's as simple as that.

When the men in the family were not there, a group of women and children were blasted out, and they cried all over the place. But this trick of crying, making trouble, and hanging himself was not eaten, and it didn't take long for these women and children to find another object to vent to.

"The surname is Zhu, you can talk about things when you say things, why are you pulling his collar. Now he thinks we're going to beat people, and he's going to blast everyone out and not take it, it's all yours! ”

found a new outlet to vent, and the sound of chirping accusations rang out, and even many people in the town were watching the excitement in the distance.

Watching the excitement is a public hobby, not to mention that these military households have climbed from untouchables in the past few years, and their social status has become higher and higher with the victories of the Ming army, especially the rapid expansion of land and family property.

In the noise, the number of people watching the excitement became more and more, and the captain surnamed Zhu was originally a little scruples, but later, he was held by these aunts and daughters-in-law, and his face was really unbearable, so he simply told the reason for his seizure.

"What do you know, there are many people in our 100 households, each family, there is a fraction of a tael of silver for the two families, and the tenant rents that were not distributed last autumn were given to the casino in the town by the 100 households surnamed Jin to put the money in the town, or why didn't he give it!"

This news was said by his daughter-in-law who stole people when he first came back, and it was because of the wonder how she knew such a secret inside story that she dug up the stealing thing, and his daughter-in-law's concubine was a scoundrel who ate in the casino.

The inside story calmed everyone at once, and then, the firepower was transferred, but the door of the hundred households just didn't open, and they couldn't do anything.

After a long time of trouble, Shi Daniu's old lady and the two little women returned to the village. She and the Cheng family's lady didn't have a silver order, the recruit's daughter-in-law originally wanted to consult whether the military rented land when the recruit first joined the army could be transferred to Jiangxi, after all, their family also has dozens of acres of land in Jiangxi, and they want to move there to take care of the fields, but let alone consult if they make such a fuss.

Back in the village, the three of them agreed to continue to make trouble tomorrow, which was also the unanimous decision of the military families and their families in the town.

Returned home with a huff, and now the Shi family is already a two-entry courtyard, which is no longer what it used to be. Shi Daniu's mother went back to the room, and after eating the meal made by her little daughter, she told Shi Daniu's father what happened today, in exchange for that wooden expression.

"The old lady knows, it's useless to tell you, and the old lady has to toss it herself!"

Her man is such an honest farmer, his eldest son and second son were originally like this, the second son is gone, the eldest son has been in the army for a long time, and it is somewhat better than the original, but then he will also be a daughter-in-law in the future.

Fortunately, the daughter-in-law is very sensible, and it is not in vain that she also specially found Shi Daniu's robe Ze Luo Yongzhong to help talk about the matchmaker, and now she has an eldest grandson, the old Shi family has no worries after the break, and the next grandson also said that it is passed on to the second son, and the relationship between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law is still very harmonious.

teased her grandson, and her mood improved a lot, so Shi Daniu's mother washed up and went to sleep. She got up early the next morning, unexpectedly had breakfast, and before she could go out, the third daughter, who had just married to Xiaoshun Town a few months ago, ran back crying.

"What's the matter, that kid bullied you, my mother is going to reason with you!"

"No, mother, I haven't come back yet."

Shi Daniu's third sister married an old subordinate of his, and the family fled from the family, and there was no in-laws, just a younger sister. This family's land is in a village on the other side of Xiaoshun Town, and they live there on weekdays, and they want to be accompanied by their sister-in-law, so their mother-in-law rarely comes back, but when they come back today, they are crying.

"Don't be your sister-in-law bullying you, this is your mistake, marry your husband, you have to have a good relationship with your mother-in-law's family, that little girl looks very honest, you must have bullied her first and bullied her in a hurry......"

Shi Daniu's old lady began to talk about these big truths, but her daughter was so anxious that she couldn't even cry.

"Mother, it's not what you said."

"Then who bullied you, and don't ask who your brother is?!" Since it is not his own family, he is an outsider, and an outsider does not need to talk about the great truth of three obedience and four virtues.

"It's the hundred households in Xiaoshun Town, that bastard embezzled our tenant rent to do business, but he was cheated, and now he can't get a penny!"
