Zhao Han's residence changed again and became the Ji'an Mansion.

The lintel plaque was too late to be carved, so the sign of the government was turned over, and the three big characters of "General Military Administration" were written in red pen on the back.

At first glance, it looks a little funny, but no one will question the authority of the master inside because of this signboard!

"Sir, please have tea!"

Xiyue brought tea, and Fei Rulan personally made it for Pang Chunlai.

"Okay." Pang Chunlai said happily.

In the entire backyard of the General Military Administration, except for Zhao Han and his wife, only Pang Chunlai moved in with him.

This old gentleman has no children and no daughters, not only Zhao Han's teacher, but also Zhao Han's father-in-law, who has been living under the same roof since the incident.

Zhao Han blew the tea foam, leaned comfortably on the chair, drank tea and enjoyed the sunset in late autumn.

Fei Rulan suddenly said: "Mr. is only fifty years old, and there is only one maid by his side, why don't you marry a wife and take care of him?" ”

Pang Chunlai shook his head and said, "The old body will not be tired of others." ”

Zhao Han suddenly put down the teacup and said, "There is that stubborn landlord, so I have to raise troops to fight against the field." After the raid, some children were also kept. It is better to choose a young child, two or three years old, and the husband can adopt it to continue the incense. ”

"Well...... this one," Pang Chunlai was a little moved.

He had been bent on rebellion before, and had no other distractions. Now that the cause of rebellion is on the right track, although he has no intention of marrying a wife and starting a family, he also hopes to have an heir - Pang Chunlai's entire family was killed by Tartars.

Zhao Han said with a smile: "Then it's decided, choose a smart and clever child, and then invite a wet nurse to feed it." ”

"So...... It's good. Pang Chunlai was so happy in his heart that he even pondered naming the child.

After Pang Chunlai was happy, Zhao Han suddenly asked: "Regarding urban nomads, many think tanks have written to discuss. Each has its own opinion, but what does the gentleman think? ”

"What else can you see? There is no land to divide at all," Pang Chun said, "and there are many homeless people who have been breeding in the county for generations and have long since lost their knowledge of how to farm." I agree with Xiao Huan's proposal that there are two kinds of household registration, one is rural household registration and the other is urban household registration. ”

Zhao Han was so hurt by this incident, he really couldn't think of any good way, and the same was true of the think tanks under his command.

Fortunately, there is no need to worry for the time being, because the homeless people in Ji'an Fucheng joined the army in large numbers last winter and followed Zhao Han to the countryside to divide the fields. As a result, there is a shortage of urban labor, which is not only easier to find work, but also more paid. Even the vendors who sell things are doing better business than before because of fewer competitors.

Many of the homeless people in Jishui County were recruited by the squires to defend the city, and Zhao Han had promised to divide the land among the soldiers who defected when he attacked the city. The rest of the nomads, in the absence of competitors, can also increase their incomes.

As for Anfu County, the county seat is not so prosperous, and conscripting 200 homeless people into the army can also alleviate the conflict between homeless.

These are all temporary policies, and employment can only be guaranteed as much as possible.

In the final analysis, the reason why many cities in the south of the Ming Dynasty were full of gangs was that there were too many unemployed people, which led to a large number of idle young people running to gangs.

When fighting for hegemony at home, you can recruit vagrants as soldiers, or even recruit gangsters as soldiers. You can't recruit too many at a time, you have to disperse to various troops, mix a few in two or three hundred people, and slowly assimilate the mixed soldiers.

As for the unification of the whole country, the urban gangsters directly took it to immigrate.

Aren't you guys very good at fighting?

Go to Qiongzhou (Hainan) and Dongfan (Taiwan) first, and fight with the natives on the islands, and these two islands can settle millions of people.

Not to mention, there is also the infinite expanse of overseas land!

After chatting for a while, Pang Chunlai suddenly asked, "Is there any news from Zhong Cong?" ”

Zhong Cong is Xu Ying, Pang Chunlai's cousin, that is the son in his heart.

"Not yet, Nanchang is not easy to mix, I only gave him a few hundred taels of silver. The store can be ordered, but it depends on whether there are vacancies. Zhao Han said with a smile.

Pang Chunlai was a little unhappy: "Actually, Zhong Cong can be transferred back, not to mention being a magistrate, it is also possible to be a civilian in the General Military Administration." ”

Zhao Han shook his head: "For Brother Xu, I am of great use." ”

The great use of hell is nothing more than an intelligence chief.

Pang Chunlai felt very sorry for Xu Ying, and was even more afraid that the country would be founded in the future, and the intelligence chief would be easily destroyed by the emperor.

At the same time, Pang Chunlai also wants to train Xu Ying and become a big help to his subordinates.

Don't look at the fact that there are only three counties now, there are already signs of factions inside.

One is the patriarchal faction, that is, the people brought by Zhao Han from Lead Mountain, as well as officials from Huangjiazhen and the surrounding areas.

The second is the Toucheng faction, that is, the landlords of Yongyang Town and the east of it, who took the initiative to donate their land, and the Xiangyong (Xie Xuelong's Department) who was captured by Zhao Han. During the second large-scale land division, many of these people became grassroots officials.

The third is the Jishui faction, that is, led by Li Banghua, a large number of recent thieves.

Of course, there are no contradictions yet, and there is no factional struggle, but they are just getting closer.

This is an inevitable development trend, if you want to eradicate the faction, unless Zhao Han's subordinates are all robots.

In ancient and modern times, no regime in China and abroad can be an exception.

Sending Pang Chunlai back to rest, Zhao Han returned with a leisurely walk.

Xiyue is teaching the new helper a lesson, and it seems that something has broken the rules. Now in Zhao Han's courtyard, the number of helpers has increased to six, which can be regarded as setting a standard for officials.

Officials from the countryside will inevitably talk about style after entering the city.

Take Zhao Han's military secretary Huang Shunde as an example, now there are five helpers in the family, and he dare not recruit more than Zhao Han.

"Boss, find out." Xiao Huan came in to report on his work.

Zhao Han asked, "How?" ”

"It's going to laugh to death." Xiao Huan laughed as he spoke.

Xiao Huan is now not only a think tank, but also in charge of the Department of Integrity of the General Military Administration, focusing on the corruption problem after entering the city.

Huang Shunde just brought his wife and children, and the family hired five helpers, who were soon reported. Xiao Huan didn't dare to investigate immediately, after all, he was Zhao Han's secretary, and he came to ask for instructions.

"Let's get straight to the point." Zhao Han beckoned Xiao Huan to sit down and drink tea.

Xiao Huan poured a sip of tea: "Huang Shunde, this guy has to save face." But he doesn't have much money, and he doesn't dare to be corrupt, so he can't afford to hire many helpers. So he hired some day laborers to go home, and only did odd jobs for one or two hours a day, boasting that he had five servants at home. ”

Nima, a part-time worker is also considered a servant?

Zhao Han shook his head and sighed, the mud can't support the wall. You have to beat it up, otherwise the territory will be big in the future, and Huang Shunde will definitely be a big embezzler.

If you don't rein in after the beating, you can only change the secretary.

Zhao Han asked, "How many people have been investigated and punished in the past month?" ”

Xiao Huan said: "Seven." There are five on the Fucheng side and two in Jishui County. The country is greedy for a lot of money, but the city has a lot of money. Those who embezzled the most had more than 60 taels, and those who embezzled the least had 8 taels. ”

"Inform the three counties and let everyone know," Zhao Han instructed, "Those who embezzle and accept bribes of more than 20 taels will have their land confiscated." The embezzlers were punished for burning lime and charcoal in the mountains, and ordered their wives to remarry as soon as possible! ”

It was very inhumane, not only punishing him, but also making his wife remarry.

But he was extremely merciful and did not track down his parents, brothers, and children. You must know that in ancient times, it was easy to sit together, not to mention that family members had to be punished, and even neighbors had to suffer.

Zhao Han also said: "Those who embezzle less than 10 taels will have one mu of land confiscated and demoted." Embezzlement of 12 to 20 taels, confiscation of two acres of land, and demotion. ”

Zhao Han is not short of talents now, there are literate scholars everywhere, and there is only a shortage of talents who are really willing to obey.

Xiao Huan said: "After reporting to the three counties, it will definitely be able to scare off the wind of corruption." ”

Fei Rulan came out with the preserved fruit: "Mr. Xiao eats some snacks." ”

"Thank you, ma'am!" Xiao Huan hurriedly stood up.

"Sit down." Fei Rulan said with a smile.

The high-level civil and military officials have great respect for this lady, not only Zhao Han has no official status, but even the lady is generous and decent.

Fei Rulan is still contacting Xiaohong and Xiaocui, looking for suitable partners for high-level personnel who have not married.

Fei Rulan said with a smile: "I heard that Huang Zhixian (Huang Shunfu) received a divorce case? ”

"It's not a lot of separation," Xiao Huan explained, "and there is a large concubine who is often abused by his wife. Two days ago, he escaped and went to the county government to cry out for grievances, and said that he wanted to join the missionary group. ”

Fei Rulan asked, "How did Huang Zhixian judge?" ”

Xiao Huan said: "If you raise domestic slaves in violation of the order, you will be fined five taels of silver to a large household." not only allowed this concubine to set up her own door, but also asked the big family to compensate the concubine for ten taels of silver. ”

The "Da Ming Law" has long stipulated that civilians are not allowed to take concubines, and only those who are over forty years old and have no children can legally take a concubine in order to continue the incense.

Even the clan has regulations that only those at the level of the county king (and the prince) who are at least twenty-five years old and have no children can legally take two concubines. If he has no sons at the age of thirty, the prince of the county (and his son) may take four concubines. As the king of the county, the four concubines will reach the sky.

In fact, Zhao Han doesn't need to make too many rules, just strictly follow the "Da Ming Law".

There is no clan in his territory, and he does not recognize the official position of the Ming Dynasty, so as long as the concubine is willing, she will go to the official mansion to sue for permission. It must be all illegal concubines!

If you win one, there will definitely be a second or third, and now the big families in the city are not allowed to go out alone.

After Xiao Huan left, Fei Rulan sat in Zhao Han's arms and asked with a smile, "Don't you take concubines either?" ”

"Can I still take the lead in breaking the rules?" Zhao Han asked rhetorically.

"What about being an emperor?" Fei Rulan asked.

Zhao Han couldn't answer: "Let's talk about it then." ”

Putting aside the emperor's personal preferences, the three palaces and six courts and the like are more like political tasks. It is nothing more than a wide sowing of seeds, ensuring that there is an heir, which can greatly improve the stability of the country.

Even if the emperor favors a certain concubine when he has no children, he will be advised by officials.

Fei Rulan touched her lower abdomen and muttered, "It's been almost half a year since I had the same room, why haven't I been pregnant yet?" ”

"Madame, don't worry," Zhao Han said with a sneering smile, "I will definitely work hard tonight......"

"The town!"

Someone outside the hospital suddenly reported it.

Fei Rulan hurriedly stood up, and Zhao Han could only sigh.

He stipulated that the officials should rest every five days, but he could not rest, and he had already met with many subordinates in one afternoon.

"Come in."

"In the town, there is news from the south. Ruijin's rebel army broke through Huichang County, and the generals of Changzhi County and Nanjiang were shown to the public! ”

Zhao Hanluo stood up and clapped his hands and applauded: "Good job!" ”

The Ruijin Peasant Army is very powerful, it was driven to the mountains by Xie Xuelong last year, and this year it actually occupied Ruijin and Huichang counties. also killed the Southern Jiangxi general, which was the highest position in Jiangxi - in the early years of Chongzhen, there was no Jiangxi General Army.

(After reading and refreshing, a map of Jiangxi will be attached at the end of the chapter.) ）
