Li Yanwu and others did not insist, and finally selected two personal soldiers to lead Yang Xiaoyu.

There is a 100-household office stationed on the Youwan Wharf in the south of Hangzhou, which is responsible for the safety of wharf transportation, as well as the investigation of smuggling and the crackdown on water thieves.

Yang Xiaoyu learned at the banquet that the 100 households on the Youwan Wharf were under the jurisdiction of the Wei Station, but the military salary was borne by the local government, which can be said to be a strange thing.

The military system of the Ming Dynasty was complicated, although the two guards on the left and right of Hangzhou were the guard system, but they did not open up the wasteland, but were only responsible for guarding the city of Hangzhou, so there was no economic income, and the military salary was verified by the Ministry of War, and then issued by the Ministry of Households.

After Zhengde, the military salaries of the left and right guards were no longer issued by the imperial court, but by the Hangzhou Political Division!

With the local military salary, they are subject to the local military jurisdiction and are no longer related to the imperial court, of course, if the imperial court issues military orders, they still have to carry them out.

In the past 100 years, the military orders of the imperial court have been issued by the military department, and then sent to the local capital departments for implementation, and the imperial court will not issue military orders to the guards over the capital divisions, so the higher-level officials who really obey the orders of the guards are still the local capital divisions.

Hangzhou is one of the few industrially rich cities in the south of the Yangtze River, and the taxes are quite abundant, and the Zhejiang Party has always been in the same spirit, and the Yamen of the Political Department has never defaulted on the salaries of the guards.

Even if you don't owe military salaries, it is difficult to make up for the food of a large family of military households with only two taels of silver, and a guard receives two taels of silver a year, and these two taels of silver usually have to feed a large family! After all, the military families all have small families, not bachelors, one person is full, and the whole family is not hungry!

Moreover, Yang Yong, the commander of Zhejiang, took the lead in embezzling military salaries, and generals at all levels followed suit, and the military salaries of two taels of silver were only one or two in the hands of the guards, and it was really difficult to feed a large family.

There were about 100 guards in the 100 households at Youwan Wharf in Hangzhou, who were accidentally killed by water bandits when they took office.

The dead Baihu had no heirs behind him, only a close nephew, but this nephew was not more than ten years old and could not succeed Baihu.

The Ming Dynasty stipulated that the heirs of the heirs to the official position must be after the age of fifteen.

If a hundred nephews want to inherit the official position, according to their age, they will have to wait for another five or six years.

During the vacant period, the capital department appointed 100 households by itself.

Yang Xiaoyu took advantage of this gap and was arranged by Yang Yong to be a hundred households here.

Six fast horses left the guard station and galloped in the direction of Hangzhou's right bay.

Half an hour later!

Yang Xiaoyu and his entourage came to the station of 100 households!

As far as the eye can see, rows of buildings are circular in shape, nestled in a desolate and remote place.

"Yang Baihu, this is where you take office!" The sergeant leading the way pointed to the courtyard in the middle of the front and explained to Yang Xiaoyu.

Yang Xiaoyu had long been mentally prepared for the ruins of the hundred households, but the places he saw in reality made a cloud of sadness rise on his face.

From such a distance, Yang Xiaoyu could see the courtyard that the sergeant was pointing to, the gate was dark, there were two sergeants standing in front of the door, the ridge of the house was covered with moss left after the rain, and there were many weeds growing on the side of the earthen wall made of mud.

"Thank you two for leading the way here, I came to office at the beginning of the next year, it is inconvenient to keep two more, please go back!"

Yang Xiaoyu sent the two leading sergeants away, stationed in front of the horse, looked at a circle of dilapidated houses, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Young master, there are countless hundreds of households like this in Zhejiang, you don't have to be like this, after a while, the commander will definitely transfer you back." Wang Chong looked at Yang Xiaoyu sitting sideways on the side of the road, but he refused to move forward, guessing that his young master didn't want to go to such a dilapidated place to take office, so he comforted him.

Yang Xiaoyu secretly sighed that the world is ruthless, why do high-ranking officials and nobles live in halls and pavilions, but military households can only live in dilapidated earthen courtyards!

But since ancient times, all dynasties have been like this, Shi farmers and industry and commerce, scholars are precious, the people are secondary, a skilled worker is even second, and the businessman is known for his treacherous and cunning, commonly known as profiteer, also known as cheap businessman.

As for the status of military households, they are not in the Shinong industry, but there is such a sentence: "A good man should not be a soldier!" "Deeply said the status of the sergeant.

In the cognition of the people of the Ming Dynasty, only the ruffians and vulgar farmers went to the army, the literati with a strategy, the scholars who pointed out the country, and the gentry who were rich and armored, they would not do such a cheap thing.

Yang Xiaoyu put away and sighed, his legs clamped the horse's belly violently, and the painful horse 'chirped' and ran away.

After a few gallops, the horse carried Yang Xiaoyu to the gate of the Baihu Institute, and the two standing guards saw that someone was coming, and they were busy concentrating on guard!

Yang Xiaoyu jumped off the horse and said, "This official is the newly appointed Baihu, who is in charge of you here?" ”

The two sergeants, you look at me, I look at you, look at it for a long time, and finally, the older sergeant is puzzled: "The boss didn't say that he was going to send a hundred households, you shouldn't be pretending, right?" ”

Yang Xiaoyu glanced at this person and sneered: "This official is not so bold to pretend to be a hundred households, so hurry up and call the person in charge!" ”

"This is not certain, you still bring the official document, I'll see what I'm talking about first!" The sergeant saw that Yang Xiaoyu was so horizontal and so young, maybe he was really sent down from above, so he verified his identity according to the normal procedure.

Wang Chong knew that there were such rules in the hundred households, so he took a step forward and handed the official document in his hand to the sergeant!

The sergeant took the official document and turned around and entered the hundred households!

Yang Xiaoyu stood outside and waited, looking around casually!

After a while, a middle-aged man with a goatee walked out with an official document and the sergeant who had entered earlier.

The middle-aged man held the official document in both hands, walked to Yang Xiaoyu's side and bent down, and said, "I've seen Yang Baihu!" ”

Yang Xiaoyu took the official document in the middle-aged man's hand and asked, "Are you the main person here?" ”

The middle-aged man arched his hand and said: "Subordinate Hu Chenghe, add to be a small official!" ”

Officials are generally literati, although the hundred households are a small place, but they manage the food, drink and Lazar of more than 100 families, and the general hundred households are illiterate in big characters, and such a small official is needed to deal with official affairs, food, money and other miscellaneous matters.

In some respects, the small official of the hundred households is equivalent to the deputy hundred households, he handles the daily official affairs for the hundred households, and his position is lowly and powerful.

Yang Xiaoyu nodded and took the lead in walking into the hundred households.

The official office of the hundred households is actually a small courtyard, with weeds growing in the corners of the courtyard, sundries on both sides, and the door of the living room in the middle is wide open!

Yang Xiaoyu knew that the door in the middle was generally a place for hundreds of households to handle official business, so he walked in quickly.
