The Ming Dynasty's jurisdiction over the household registration and land is very strict, the household registration is called the Yellow Book, the field is called the Fish Scale Atlas, the Yellow Book and the Fish Scale Atlas are echoing each other, with these two registers, the court and the government will firmly fix the people on the land, unless it is the emperor's decree, otherwise large-scale population migration is almost impossible.

However, this strict management system, during the Apocalypse, was almost impossible to maintain in the north, because peasant riots often occurred, and there were displaced people of different sizes in various places, and in the Chongzhen period, it was a mess, but the local government will not change the number of households at will, and the household department and the military department are extremely strict in its management, the household department has jurisdiction over the household registration of the people, and the military department has jurisdiction over the household registration of military households, and almost every year it is necessary to verify and count, and most of the local governments are calculated according to the population of the previous year, excluding the dead population, and reporting the numbers to the above.

Obviously, in some villages in the north, there are almost no people, starving to death, rebelling and rebelling, but there is still this person on the Yellow Book, which leads to a serious discrepancy in the population, in order to plug this excessive loophole, some local governments have also thought of a way, that is, to fine-tune the Yellow Book, or to increase the number of households in the population, or to increase the number of people who die of natural causes.

So there is a loophole in this, that is, some people with hidden identities can regain their identities through the local government, change their faces, and regain their identities, and all the previous things have been written off, and the household officials of the county and state government will not delve into the identities of these people as long as they can get certain benefits.

Wu Fanhui thought of this, if he wants to solve the household registration problem of Li Yong and others, he still needs to go to the county office, fortunately, he is now a small Sanyuan, and he has the support of the Wu family behind him.

When rushing to Mizhi County day and night, Wu Fanhui had already sent Ma Jigang and Sun Kailin to Mizhi County in advance with a letter written by himself, and directly found the patriarch, and the patriarch came forward to buy two to three courtyards in Shilipu Town, and it was not difficult to do this, some wealthy families in Shilipu Town have moved to the county to live, and there are many vacant house courtyards, and the price of these house courtyards is not very high, and the Wu family came forward to buy, and people will not think much about it.

Shilipu Town is located in the southeast of the county seat, only seven miles away from the county seat, and is the village and town with the best conditions in Mizhi County.

On November 8, Wu Fanhui and his entourage finally arrived in Shilipu Town.

When he saw the patriarch Wu Mianqing and the housekeeper waiting on the official road in person, Wu Fanhui hurriedly dismounted.

Wu Mianqing's face was a look of joy and shock, the news that Wu Fanhui became the head of the hospital trial case had already spread to Mizhi County, and now Wu Fanhui has become the pride of Mizhi County, and it has made the status of the Wu family in the county continue to improve.

Wu Mianqing was even more unexpected, Wu Fanhui recruited more than 50 people to protect the hospital, and these people are actually the brothers of Ma Jigang and Sun Kailin, these people's abilities are by no means ordinary, Wu Fanhui has explained in the letter the way to let Ma Jigang and others settle down, Wu Mianqing of course knows, and also understands that the Wu family came forward and there is no problem in handling this matter.

It's just that Wu Mianqing is still a little worried, the identities of Ma Jigang and others are too secretive, but if you think about it carefully, the problem is not very big, the emperor has cleaned up Wei Zhongxian's remaining party, and the attention of the people in the court is also on those civil and military ministers who hold real power, who will pay attention to the shrimp soldiers and shrimp generals in Jinyiwei, not to mention that the identities of Ma Jigang and others are kept secret in Jinyiwei.

"Qian Jue visited the patriarch and met the housekeeper."

"Okay, okay, just come back, it's okay to have a smooth journey."

"It's okay, I encountered some minor troubles, and all of them were solved."

The housekeeper had long noticed the carriage in the team, as well as many war horses, his face was a little pale, not to mention what was on the carriage, just said that these war horses were thousands of taels of silver, how much ability did Wu Fanhui have, leaving the county seat to go to Xi'an Fucheng to participate in the hospital examination, and in less than three months, he brought back so many people and horses.

Li Yong, Liu Fangheng and Dai Nengxiang also dismounted and stood behind Wu Fanhui.

"Li Yong, Liu Fangheng, Dai Nengxiang, this is the patriarch of the Wu family, and also my third grandfather, and this is the housekeeper."

Wu Fanhui began to introduce Li Yong and others to Wu Mianqing.

Wu Mianqing, who has a lot of experience, just glanced at Li Yong and the others a few times, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Welcome to all strong men, when you come to Mizhi County, you are home, don't be polite in the future, be casual."

Of course, Li Yong and others knew Wu Mianqing's identity, and Ma Jigang and Sun Kailin had already said it.

Everyone clasped their fists and saluted Wu Mianqing together.

"I've seen the patriarch...

Then, Li Jiacui and Li Jingfei came out of the carriage.

Seeing the two of them, Wu Mianqing's face showed a meaningful smile.

"It's Li Jiacui and Li Jingfei, sister and brother, yes, you will follow Qianjue's side in the future and take good care of it."

Li Jiacui and Li Jingfei didn't expect that the patriarch actually knew their names, and the two hurriedly saluted the patriarch, but they needed to kneel, after all, their identities were different.

Wu Mianqing personally stepped forward, helped the two of them, touched Li Jingfei's head, and smiled on his face.

The courtyard has already been bought, it doesn't take much effort, as long as the silver can be taken out, and Wu Mianqing personally came forward, everyone knows that the power of the Wu family in Mizhi County has begun to grow, and it is faintly going to overpower the He family, and it is normal to buy some real estate.

There are three courtyards in total, and there is no problem with more than 50 people, but Wu Mianqing did not expect that there were so many horses, and it seems that he still needs to buy a vacant land to make a horse shed.

The carriage entered the largest courtyard, and the grain was quickly unloaded.

Wu Mianqing and the housekeeper saw all this, and their faces turned a little pale.

The four sandalwood boxes have not been unloaded for the time being, Wu Fanhui doesn't want to be too ostentatious, and he doesn't know how much silver is in the sandalwood boxes.

Li Yong's arrangements were orderly, and soon more than a dozen people carried all the grain to the house.

"Patriarch, with these grains, the family doesn't need to consider the cost of grain and grass in the courtyard, today I will calculate, save some food, as the family's spare food, the three courtyards purchased, the silver taels consumed, I will also find a way to solve it."

"Qian Jue, what are you talking about, the family is your home, and you don't need to think of a way to consume the silver, as for this food, I have been worried, and when I see this food, I don't panic."

Wu Fanhui smiled and stopped talking, he definitely wanted to talk about money and food, as for how the patriarch Wu Mianqing answered, it was another matter, he knew the foundation of the Wu family, after being tossed by the Kuang family and Wu Qingtan and others, it was almost hollowed out, and it was difficult to hire three or five nursing homes, not to mention more than fifty people at once.

In fact, Wu Fanhui didn't expect to recruit so many people in such a short period of time, he couldn't afford to raise them at all, and he was thinking about calculating the He family to get enough money and food, but now it seems that he doesn't need it.

In less than two hours, everything was in order.

Wu Fanhui also wanted to go home immediately, after all, he had been away from home for nearly three months, but he still had very important things to deal with, and he had to stay overnight in Shilipu Town.

Wu Mianqing and the housekeeper knew that Wu Fanhui must have something to deal with, so they left before dark and returned to the county seat, and they had to worry about the next day's banquet and other matters.

Sending Wu Mianqing and the housekeeper to the edge of the town, watching them leave, Wu Fanhui breathed a sigh of relief, although it was not difficult to get the Wu family to admit the existence of the courtyard, but if the patriarch intervened, it would be difficult to deal with, after all, Li Yong and the others would only be loyal to him Wu Fanhui and would not obey the patriarch's arrangement.

Next, Wu Fanhui was about to open the four sandalwood boxes to see how many silver taels were contained in them, and the amount of silver taels directly determined all his plans for the next step.

Outside the house, four people guarded it, and no one was allowed to approach it. 、

Wu Fanhui, Li Yong, Ma Jigang and Liu Fangheng stood nearby, while Sun Kailin and Dai Nengxiang carefully cut the ropes on the sandalwood box with knives, but they could not cut the box.

All four boxes were opened at the same time.

Wu Fanhui felt a little dizzy, because he saw gold, jewelry, and other things in a box, these things should be squires and rich people pressing the box treasure, Zhang Cunmeng was able to snatch it, it is conceivable that these squires and rich families, I am afraid that the whole family will be killed.

The gold, silver and jewelry in the sandalwood box all began to be carefully cleaned up, Dai Nengxiang held the account book in his hand, and registered in detail, but several valuable jewels in the box, as well as more than a dozen leaves made of gold, and five ingots of gold, were put aside and did not register, this was decided by Li Yong and others through collective deliberation, they knew that Wu Fanhui had two younger sisters, and these jewels were needed by his mother and sister, so there was no need to register, as for gold, Wu Fanhui could carry it with him.

Anyway, Wu Fanhui needs to have money.

The cleanup lasted for nearly two hours, and it was finally cleaned up at the end of the hour.

And all the money, except for the part which was not registered, was worth eight thousand five hundred taels of silver.

This number made Li Yong and the others not come back to their senses for a long time, and also made Wu Fanhui not speak for a while.

Perhaps this amount of silver, in those real scholar families, is not a huge amount of money, but for Wu Fanhui, it means that for a long time, he does not need to consider the expenses of more than fifty brothers.
