Chapter 5 Capital
(Today's first shift, there will be another shift in the evening)
The first is land.
Speaking of which, Lianjia's land is still some. After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Hongwu promulgated the military household system, and at the same time, in order to bind these soldiers to the local area for generations, a large number of fields were divided into each guard station, and each military household had a lot of land. And even the family has been the avant-garde of the government army for generations, although the avant-garde of the government army is one of the twenty-four guards on the Gongwei Emperor, but after all, the soldiers also have wives and children to support, and they also have a constant production, so they also divided the fields, and because they are the twenty-four guards, they are extraordinarily preferential, and the areas are all anointed, and the area is larger. Later, the Yongle Emperor moved the capital to Yanjing, and the avant-garde of the government army also followed, so he redivided the fields and cultivated land, and the land was outside Zhengyangmen. Yanjing in this era is not the miserable appearance of being disturbed by sandstorms in later generations, it is the first-class anointed land in the country, and the river is longitudinal, irrigation is also very convenient, and the harvest is very good.
Although the Ming Dynasty has been established for a hundred years, some systems have long been abolished, and the fields in this guard have also been encroached upon by the officers, but after all, it is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and these rice worms dare not go too far, and later Emperor Zhengde reformed, and the military households became civilian households, so they also divided these lands according to the number of people in the military households, the official ranks, and all of them. Therefore, he can be regarded as a figure among these lower-level officers in the vanguard of the government army. With this relationship, even the family got ten acres of good watered land, which doesn't seem to be much, but don't forget, this is the foot of the Son of Heaven, and the limited cultivated land outside the city has not been targeted by many people. The difficulty of getting ten acres of land in such a place where every inch of land is at a premium is like a small company commander buying ten villas in the third ring road of Yanjing, which is already very difficult.
Later, Lian Zining's father died on the battlefield, and the bereavement pension given by the imperial court, plus the gift money from those colleagues in the guard at the time of the funeral, added up to a lot, and the money was used to buy ten acres of land. But later, my mother was seriously ill, the family had no money, and the ancestral house could not be sold, so I sold the land little by little, and cut the meat with a blunt knife, and these ten acres became the current two acres of land.
However, the total of twelve acres of land is also a lot, and some poor Beijing officials may not be able to buy these family properties in their lifetime. But there were only two people left in the family, one to study, the other to earn money, and neither of them was the material to hold the fields, so they could only rent the ten acres of land to the neighboring farmers. Originally, even the family said that they were quite alive, but God couldn't help but be unhappy, last year's drought in the north, the dry bottom of the river was exposed, 12 acres of land were not harvested, no grain was brought up, and the grain and land taxes of the two emperors were borrowed from the east and the west to pay up, so they fell into this situation.
The second item is the fame of the talent who is now on his body.
Although due to some reasons, it is impossible for him to take the exam again, but the reputation of Xiucai must be kept. In this era, with such a protective color and such a layer of identity, the benefits are self-evident. Before his other identity is higher than Xiucai's identity, he must not give up. This is like in later generations, when you are looking for a job, people will naturally look up to you as a doctoral student at a prestigious university, and if you are a junior high school graduate, you will naturally be despised.
This year is the township examination, and the examiner himself will not be successful, but the identity of Xiucai can still be maintained for half a year - according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, Xiucai's fame is also limited, and those who rank second in the regular examination and test scores will be expelled from their naturalization, and Lian Zining can foresee that he must be one of the last few - in half a year, he will have to make some achievements.
The third is the connections that the body itself has.
Lian Zining can be said to be a family origin, his ancestor was a soldier who followed the Yongle Emperor to raise troops and Jingjing, before and after the saddle, he made great contributions, and even once blocked a stray arrow for the Yongle Emperor, for which he was shot through the face, leaving a huge scar on the cheeks on both sides. As we all know, Emperor Yongle is the most kind to heroes, although this person is ruthless, but he will never do something like his father Zhu Chongba, so later the ancestor of the Lian family, this nobody when he started the army, after Emperor Yongle ascended the great treasure, he directly became the avant-garde of the government army! However, time has passed, and a hundred years have passed, and the Lian family has long declined, and when he arrived in the area of Lian's father, he just became a mere chief flag officer. However, even his father was known as the invincible Hebei spear in the world before his death, and he once won the first place in the willow shooting competition, and he was a well-known brave figure in the avant-garde of the entire government army.
Because Lian Father fought for the country and died on the battlefield, these former colleagues were quite related, and there were several people who expressed the intention of taking care of them, but the original Lian Zining was just a pedantic scholar, where did he understand this? I don't know how many opportunities he wasted.
Now that Lian Zining has been reborn, he will naturally not make this kind of mistake again, he was also a high-eyebrow figure when he was in college, otherwise he would not have coaxed his mentor, who is often famous and upper-level, to be happy all day long, and he is closer to him than to his own son.
After sorting it out, there are only these three advantages, and as for the other bits and pieces, don't mention them.
With these three advantages, Lian Zining's heart became clear, and he gently tapped the handrail with his right hand, thinking about how to make the most careful use of these three advantages, so as to give full play to their greatest role.
Among the advantages of these three items, the most important is undoubtedly the third one, although this kind of network, this kind of network is invisible, it is hidden, and even when you don't think about it, you can't even detect it, but in fact, the huge energy contained in it is unimaginable to outsiders. Chinese people do everything, they like to trust the relationship, go through the back door, this habit has been there since ancient times, thousands of years has not stopped, even if you can use formal channels to do it, you always want to go through the back door, this has really penetrated into the bones of the people. When talking about favors, relationships, and asking people to do things, if you don't have a relationship, people won't accept gifts!
