Wang Tongan ate four steamed buns for breakfast, and it was the first time he had eaten white flour steamed buns when he was so old. As he ate the soft white bread, tears flowed down his eyes.

Yesterday, the family came back with 200 catties of grain, and they were also given 100 acres of land. The brothers came back with the bags of grain on their backs, and looked at the bags of grain piled up in the corner of the house, and they were stunned for a long time. These grains are all new grains laid this year, which are actually the grains they handed in themselves.

The land they planted for the Cao family, the grain was rented, the debts were repaid, and in the end, there was a little grain left in the family, and the rest was handed over. Now, the officers of the Han army have moved the grain of the Cao family out of the warehouse and distributed it to them according to 200 catties per household. Although there are still a lot of them, they are retained by the Han army, but they can get 200 catties of grain, which still makes them very excited.

Last night, the family didn't fall asleep, and they got up to look at the food for fear that it would fly away in the middle of the night.

This morning, the whole family's eyes were red, and the father finally announced that he would eat a meal of white flour buns. My mother said it was too extravagant, but my father insisted. "The whole family hasn't eaten white flour buns yet, so I'll pay for it once."

In the end, the whole family went into battle, worked hard all morning, and finally steamed a large basket of white flour buns.

Patting his belly, Wang Tongan felt that today's sun was incomparably bright and brilliant.

He came out of his house and walked to the playground of Fort Guard, and he was still far away, when he heard a noise on the other side of the playground. He hurried over, and heard only that there were many people talking.

He squeezed in, only to hear the Hundred Banners Wang Shiji from his fellow villagers say, "You people, I don't know how many people there are?" Now it's okay, they're all crowded over, and everyone is also commenting, you said that the two are singles, and they should be counted as two households? Then we have a population of 3,000 in the whole fort. Can it be counted as 3,000 households? You are eager to count all the babies who eat milk into one household, so that you can divide the twenty acres of households, you don't want to think about it, is the court a fool, let them not be blind? ”

Wang Tongan didn't understand, and hurriedly asked a young man next to him.

"What is this arguing about?"

The young man next to him is also a soldier in the guard, but in fact, he was a tenant of the Cao family in the past, more than twenty years old, and he is also a bachelor, and he said to Wang Tongan. "You don't know yet, Wang Shiji has been appointed by the imperial court as the mayor of Chengguan Town. No, didn't the imperial court distribute land to us yesterday, and there was still a lot left, so the imperial court said that the remaining land would be divided into 20 acres per household. Listen, don't you all come to register. Many people were originally one household, and they all said that they had split their families, and many of them were divided into 20 acres of land. ”

The people are also clever. I heard that each household could divide 20 acres, so they showed their powers.

In the east of Wang Laohan's family, there were only two fathers and sons, and they said that their father and son had been separated long ago. Count as two households.

The funniest thing is the daughter-in-law of the old Liu family, who not only has to be separated from their parents, but also carries the one in their stomachs. It is also necessary to divide it and count it as one household.

If it weren't for the fact that a woman had to follow her husband, maybe someone would really want the husband and wife to break up.

As soon as Wang Tongan heard that he could divide more land according to households, he couldn't help but be anxious. We have a family of nine, and other people's families have one family, and he also divides 20 acres, and we also share 20 acres, so we will suffer too much. “

"Who told us to be poor in the past and couldn't afford to marry our mother-in-law, if we marry our mother-in-law, now we say that it will be okay to divide the household, but we don't have a mother-in-law, so it is impossible to be a single independent household."

Wang Zongqi, who is now the mayor of Wang Town, is very hardworking. Cao Xun and other military attaches of the original guard were shot to resist the heavenly soldiers, and he, the hundred banners, is considered a surviving military attaché, although he is only a small general flag, but he usually has a little prestige in the guard. The imperial court changed Longli Wei to Longli County, and the magistrate and other officials were temporarily concurrently served by the officers, but the townships and towns below could not all be served by officers, and there must be a suitable person who is familiar with the following.

Therefore, in the end, he was very lucky to be selected to be the mayor of Chengguan Town, where the Longli County Ya is located.

The mayor is also a nine-rank official, but Wang Shiji is still a school mayor for the time being, that is, a temporary acting mayor, and he can only become a regular if he does a good job. Therefore, Wang Shiji worked very hard, and the chief above said that he would divide the unfinished land according to the household, but the people below ran to say that they had split up the household, which made him very dissatisfied, this is not to deceive the official.

"I said everyone, you have to be reliable in your words, it's not impossible to split your family, but there must be a condition. At least you have to be monogamous, right? In addition, if there is only one son, even if the son marries a wife and has children, he should not split the house and live another life, we have to talk about filial piety. ”

"If you meet the rules I said, you can register and dismantle the household and set up another portal, but if you don't meet the rules, don't come to join in the fun. Don't always try to take advantage of it, for this land is only rented to you, and it is not given to you for free. The imperial court has just divided the land according to 20 acres per ding, are you still not satisfied? ”

He shouted in a loud voice, "If you're not satisfied, it's okay." As long as you have the courage, there is a place to earn wealth. If you really have the courage, then you can come to me to sign up, and then we will follow the officers and soldiers to go in and help the officers and soldiers transport artillery, grain and grass, and we can get three silver dollars a month. If you have enough seeds, you can go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, kill a rebel, and you can exchange each of your heads for two silver dollars. As many heads as you can cut, the court will give you as many silver dollars as you want. ”

Wang Tongan and his neighbors couldn't help but be moved.

It is tempting to get three silver dollars a month for transporting grain and grass, and two pieces for cutting a person's head. Now although everyone has divided the land, but the land still has to be repaid every year, who doesn't want to pay off the money early, and then redeem the land deed, and only when it is in hand will it be stable.

"If you want to go, come to me to sign up, and everyone who goes to deliver grain and grass will be paid three pieces of silver a month, and five yuan for settling-in expenses. If you go to fight against bandits, you will be paid five pieces of silver a month, and ten dollars for settling-in. As soon as you register, you will be given a settling-in allowance. ”

As soon as Wang Shiji's words fell, Wang Tongan's brain was hot, and he couldn't help shouting, "Count me in." ”

"Okay, Wang Tongan, the boss of the Wang family, there is a seed, are you going to transport grain and grass, or are you going to fight?"

Countless eyes looked at Wang Tongan, he felt hot on his face, but he also had excitement.

"Go to war, manly husband, if you want to earn, you can earn five yuan a month's salary and ten yuan for settling-in expenses."

"Okay." Wang Shiji shouted, "Enough seeds, come, come here and press a handprint, then take the ten yuan settlement fee and five yuan monthly salary advance, take the money back, and then say goodbye to the family, and gather here at noon." ”

Wang Tongan squeezed through the crowd, walked to the table in front of him, stretched out his hand and dipped it in the clay box, then pressed his name on the paper that Wang Shiji handed in front of him, and then reached out to take fifteen silver dollars.

Fifteen silver dollars are heavy in the hand, and from time to time there is a crisp sound, the white silver dollar, the front is the head of a young man, it is said that this is the head of the current Han Emperor. On the back, there are two dragons grabbing pearls, and there are tooth patterns on the side, which is quite exquisite.

Yesterday, his father also received a pension of twenty yuan from the court officer, which is also the case.

"Let's go, go home and get ready, and come over in the afternoon to meet."

"General Banner, do you want to bring your own armor, knives and guns?" Wang Tongan asked.

"Call the mayor, I'm no longer the general flag." Wang Shiji corrected him, "You don't need to prepare armor, knives and guns, the tattered armor knives and guns in your house are nothing to prepare, and the court doesn't need them." You can just come empty-handed, and the court will issue you armor and weapons, and even shoes and socks will send you new ones. ”

Hearing that there was such a good treatment, a group of young men next to him couldn't help but come forward to sign up. Being able to get ten silver dollars at one time and an advance of five yuan a month is too tempting, and Wang Tongan was the first to sign up, so they also stepped forward to sign up.

Anyway, at this time of year, there is no work at home.

In a short period of time, more than 500 young men of more than 3,000 people in Weibao have registered, and most of them are going to fight. After all, there are five more yuan for settling-in expenses for war, and two more yuan for a month.

Later, more and more people came to sign up, but Wang Shiji finally chose 500 to fight and 500 to transport grain. Those who went to war were young and strong, and most of the people who carried grain were young and old. Some of the smaller and older ones were rejected by him.

After half a day's effort, Wang Shiji glowed half a box of silver dollars and sent out more than 10,000 silver dollars, and he couldn't help but feel a little shocked in his heart, the new dynasty is really generous.

If they were sent to fight and quell the chaos in the previous dynasty, they would not have given any money at all. In the rebellion of Lu'an, the rebels besieged Longliwei, they fought desperately, many people died, and the court did not even give any pension silver afterwards. It's like a new dynasty, before the start of the fight, advance a month's silver dollar, let alone return it to An Jiayin.

It is no wonder that the new dynasty was able to replace the Ming dynasty in a short time.

Behind the playground, by the window of the fort hall, several officers stood and looked at everything on the playground with a smile.

"The people's hearts are available."

"The imperial court gave them the land and grain, and now they are summoned to transport grain to fight, and they are of course willing to give such a generous price."

"If you want me to say, the court treats them too well, the field is just like a gift, and they have distributed so much grain, and now they are given so much silver salary, with or without them, we will calm down the chaos."

The captain with four black flying eagles on his shoulders said with a smile, "But 10,000 silver dollars have attracted 1,000 young people, and they are young people with extremely high morale, do you think you can't make it?" As for the fields and grain, they were not originally from the imperial court, but they were confiscated by the traitorous party. Don't just stare at the money and grain, does the court care about the money and grain? No, what the imperial court cares about is to destroy the Yiren Tusi here in one fell swoop, and then completely bring the southwest under the control of the imperial court, and become the real territory of the imperial court, not a country within a country. As long as we win this battle, then all the fields and all the mountains and forests here will belong to the imperial court, and how much tax can the imperial court collect every year? Have you thought about any of this? ”

"The most important thing is that a little money and grain can get such a heart, don't you think it's worth it? No, it's not a very good value. (To be continued.) )
