Chapter 122: Malpractice
On the first day of October, the order to divide the land had been issued, and Jiangxi began to divide the land, but Zhejiang, where many soldiers in the Ming army of Jiangsu and Zhejiang lived, was a different situation.
On the official road in Jinhua County, Shi Daniu's mother was heading to the Baihu Station of Tangya Town where their military belonged. One was the daughter-in-law of Deputy Captain Cheng from the same village, and the other was the daughter-in-law of two new recruits who were assigned to their village in the first half of the year.
In the Ming Dynasty, all military households were untouchables, and even the later it became. Shi Daniu's mother remembered that when she first entered Jinhua Mansion, she wanted to tell her son that the wife of the house would be scolded by those households, so that her second son could not get married until she died in battle.
However, in recent years, Zhejiang has had an economic foundation and its status is naturally far better than before. Especially those families who have been divided into many lands in the army are already small and medium-sized landlords. Nowadays, some people who cannot eat grapes or whose interests have been damaged in recent years will occasionally be taken out. In the eyes of ordinary people, they have become a shortcut to become rich by applying to the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Because of this, the eldest son can marry the daughter of a small landlord's family in the village, and his status is naturally very different. In a similar situation, no matter how old a family like their family is like, it is much easier for those new recruits to find a wife. This little woman is an example.
Along the way, three women sat in a ox cart and chattered, it was nothing more than a matter of dividing land. This time, the deputy captain named Cheng divided more than a hundred acres of land, and even the man of the little woman divided dozens of acres of land. However, it was Shidaniu. He participated in several battles, but the dividing land was not much, which was similar to the new recruits in their team.
"My big guy wrote to me that the land score was small this time because the hereditary military post was over. In the future, my grandson could start as an officer, so the less points would be smaller."
As soon as this statement was made, it was full of envy and admiration. The deputy captain of Cheng was said to be able to be promoted this time, and he could be promoted to a high-ranking vocational and low-ranking promotion. The two new recruits only had a record in the credit book. Shi Daniu was the worst among the soldiers who followed Chen Wen on Dalan Mountain, but this time he could be promoted to a sentry chief, and he was a high-ranking vocational and low-ranking. In the words of the military supervisors of their battalion, if it were not for Shi Daniu's poor literacy ability, it would have been easy for a bureau, after all, he was a veteran who came down from Dalan Mountain.
"Brother Big Niu is really not an ordinary person."
"Who said no? The king is the reincarnation of Wu Qu Xingjun. His majestic and evil spirit must not be close to ordinary people. Brother Daniu followed the king from Dalan Mountain. He may have also been a natural soldier and general with a background, who came down to earth to help the king eliminate the evil spirits of the Tartars."
“…”
In his hometown in Yuyao, the villagers said that Shi Daniu was stupid and stupid, and he was just a farmer. He had been digging food from the soil all his life and had no great prospects. He didn't think much at the beginning, but after all, he was not as good as he saw it, but when he saw it many times, he naturally became different when he was angry. He was so unhappy that he could not do well.
Nowadays, the family has more and more land, and life is getting better and better, as if it is turning upside down from the past. Listening to these compliments and praises, Shi Daniu's mother felt even more happy, as if she was a compensatory mentality to her face, which was particularly beneficial.
"My big guy wrote to me and the military supervisor in the camp told him that he would go to the martial arts school to go to school after a while, and it would be different after learning."
"Wow!"
Knowledge worship is a phenomenon that is more serious in ancient China than in other countries. The youngest son of the Shi family is now living in a Boy Scout Academy. The jokes about going home to read the residence to his father and mother during the Chinese New Year have long been spread throughout the village. Now even Shi Daniu has to go to the school to learn military tactics, which is a military tactic. In the eyes of ordinary people, it can only be learned by generals. Compared with lower-level officers and landlords in the village, these identities are immediately different.
Amid the laughter, the ox cart soon arrived at Tangya Town. The eight governments in eastern Zhejiang, especially the six governments in Jinquyan, Taiwen, were already purchased by the government by the people. In addition to boats, ox carts and donkey carts, they were more common transportation tools. The owners of the ox carts also had to buy something in the town. The three of them got off the ox carts and made an appointment with the owner of the ox cart to return.
No matter how the owners of the ox cart, they all have official duties to handle on behalf of the men at home. The new recruits' wives are special. Shi Daniu's mother and Cheng's wife are rented in Quzhou this summer. This money was originally distributed by the Thousand Houses of the county. Later, considering that the soldiers in the army went on a war, many of them had only women and children, and it was unsafe to be too far away, so they changed it to collect it from the hundred houses of their respective towns.
Today is the first day of October, and it happened to be the first day of Xia Shengdian Rent. The courtyard of the Hundred Houses has already been full of military households and military families waiting. They lined up at the gate, and the three of them had to line up at the end of the line.
There are many kinds of things to do when I come to Baihu Office. In Chen Wen's design, the Baihu Office is just an administrative unit that goes deep into the people. Some of them lined up in front of me and handed over the notes sent by the army and left, while others were named, hometown, and residence. Some were called up by the clerk and registered. They could only leave after drawing a seal. This took time and effort.
This is not the first time this is happening, but Shi Daniu's mother still complained to the two women such as "Today is the day to receive a rent, and there are other things that should come over to avoid so many people waiting."
However, even though they complained, the Hundred Houses not only serve the local military households, but also had the responsibility to manage them. In order to line up to offend the officers and clerks in the Hundred Houses, they still couldn't do it, so they had to line up according to the rules.
The team moved slowly. It was probably more than half an hour before the old man of Shi Daniu was turning. He was wondering whether to advise the Jinbaihu, and then queue up in the Baihu office to give everyone some long chairs to sit, so he didn't have to be as tired as he is now. Unexpectedly, the man who just made the turn not only did not leave immediately after the processing was completed, but instead slapped the desk on the office, and the loud shout came.
"Last year's autumn harvest, my mother gave the rent in two units when she came to get the rent. Even if I could not find the money, the money, the stakes, and the same is true for this summer. What's the case? If there is zero, it's not silver, so why don't you give it?!"
Hearing this, Shi Daniu's mother leaned away and saw the Jin Baihu wiped her sweat. Then she explained to the man: "Brother Zhu, isn't this impossible to find? What is sent out from above are ingots and ingots. We are ingots and shops, and it's not easy to explain if there are too many silver and less silver. This time, I'm not giving you all the fractions I had last time and this time. The remaining fractions should be next time."
Jin Baihu's voice was not very loud, but in the yard where the quarrel had already become a sensation, Shi Daniu's mother still vaguely understood.
She knew the man named Zhu. He lived in a neighboring village and was an officer with a captain level. Yushan was injured in a battle, but when he came back, he found that his wife had stole the man and was rumored to be rumored. He spoke clearly with alcohol, but people were looked down upon by people who were cuckolded and were just a captain. However, this Jinbaihu looked like he was guilty of hearing it.
The quarrel in front continued, and the Cheng family's wife was still watching the excitement, but at this moment, Shi Daniu's mother's face suddenly changed. She looked at the notes sent by Shi Daniu in Suzhou codes and Chinese characters, and stamped with seals. She recalled again and immediately pulled the Cheng family's wife beside her.
"Miss Cheng's wife, did you give your family a fraction of the rent that you received from the autumn harvest last year?"
"No."
As a result, the Cheng family's wife seemed to have realized something. In the next second, Shi Daniu's mother immediately put this hazy feeling in front of her.
"You calculate, is the fraction of your family's autumn harvest last year and the fraction of your family's summer harvest combined with the fraction of your family's summer harvest combined with one or two taels of silver?"
"Okay, it doesn't seem to be enough."
“My family is not enough.”
The conversation between the two women immediately felt like they were literate and fell into the water, causing a stir. Most of them could still get one or two taels, but those who couldn't get one or two were obviously much more excited. The whole yard was soon filled with condemnations asking for full payment, and even those who didn't have much to take out were unbearable.
The officials of Jinbaihu and Baihu Office explained with great thought, but these military households and family members did not care about this, especially those males in the war barracks, who felt that their identities were no lower than those of the military officers in the military camp, and they had a reasonable position here, so they were naturally unreasonable. To the depth of the quarrel, the captain named Zhu grabbed Jinbaihu's neck and asked him to pay the full amount of the money.
However, the Hundred House Office is an administrative unit, and the Hundred House is also a serious military officer. He was like this by the military households who usually speak, but kept calling out the Hundred House. He felt that his prestige was greatly damaged, and his anger was immediately triggered.
"There is no king's law, no king's law. Come and beat these unruly people to my official!"
Jinbaihu pushed away the captain who was injured and was pulled apart, and the official uniform was also pulled. Seeing this, the soldiers on duty in the Baihuhu also rushed over with sticks. They were knocked down and did not dare to hit him, but a group of strong men quickly cleared the old, weak, women and children in the yard.
The gate of the yard was closed, and Jinbaihu shouted in the yard, saying that the money could only be withdrawn in this way. If you agree, you will come back tomorrow, and you will not give a 1% discount if you disagree. Anyway, you will not give it to it today, so it is that simple.
The men at home were not there, and the women and children were bombarded, and they immediately cried and made a fuss. However, the hundreds of households did not eat this trick of crying, making a fuss and hanging. After a while, the women and children found another object to vent.
"The surname of Zhu, you just tell me what you want to do. Why do you pull him into the collar? Now he thinks we are going to hit people, and he will knock everyone out and not take them away. It's all yours!"
A new outlet was found, and the chirping sounds immediately sounded, and many households in the town were watching the fun in the distance.
Watching the fun is a public hobby, not to mention that these military households have risen from untouchables in recent years. The social status has become higher and higher with the success of the Ming army, especially the rapid expansion of land and property. Ordinary civilians who were suppressed were somewhat dissatisfied. It is even more rare to see military households and hundreds of households chaotic.
Amid the noise, more and more people were watching the fun. The captain named Zhu was a little worried, but later, he was grabbed by these aunts and young wives and couldn't stand his face, so he simply told the reason for his attack.
"What do you know? Our 100 households have a large population, each household has a fraction of the money. The tenant rent that was not paid last autumn harvest was given to the town casino by the hundred households surnamed Jin. Why don't he give it to him!"
This news was said by his wife who was stealing people when he first came back. It was because she was wondering how she knew such a secret inside story that she dug out the stealing things, and his wife's mistress was a scoundrel who made a living in the casino.
The inside story suddenly suffocated everyone. Next, the firepower was transferred, but the door of the Baihu Institute was not open, so they had no choice.
After a long time of trouble, Shi Daniu's mother and the two young women returned to the village. She and the wife of the Cheng family did not have any money. The new recruit's wife originally wanted to consult whether the military rented land for the recruit when he first joined the army could be transferred to Jiangxi. After all, their family also has dozens of acres of land in Jiangxi, and they wanted to move there to take care of the land, but they would not even want to consult after such a fuss.
When they returned to the village, the three of them agreed to continue making trouble tomorrow. This was also the unanimous decision of the military households and the families in the town. In the end, how many people would really continue, but now they are very aggression with the enemy.
He returned home angrily. The Shi family has now entered a yard with two entrances, and it is no longer the same as before. Shi Daniu's mother returned to the room and ate the meals made by her little daughter and told Shi Daniu's father what happened today, which was still the dull expression.
"I just know that it's useless to tell you, I have to do it myself!"
Her man is such an honest farmer. His eldest son and second son were the same. The second son was gone and the eldest son had been in the army for a long time, which was somewhat better than before. But in that way, he would also be a daughter-in-law in the future.
Fortunately, the daughter-in-law is very sensible, and it is worth it that she also specially found Shi Daniu's robes Luo Yongzhong to help her matchmaker. Now she has a eldest grandson. The old Shi family has no worries about the rear. The next grandson has agreed to adopt it to her second son, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is still very harmonious.
After teasing her grandson, she felt much better. Shi Daniu's mother went to wash and go to bed. She got up early the next morning, but after breakfast, she had breakfast, and before she could go out, the third daughter who had just married into Xiaoshun Town a few months ago ran back crying.
"What's wrong? This is it? That kid bullies you. Mom goes to explain it to you!"
"No, mom, my boss hasn't come back yet."
Shi Daniu's third sister married an old subordinate of his family. She escaped from the family. She had no parents-in-law and only had a sister. The family was divided into a village in Xiaoshun Town. She lived there on weekdays and wanted to be with her sister-in-law. Her parents rarely came back, but she came back like this today and cried.
"Don't your sister-in-law bullied you, it's just that you are wrong. If you get married, you have to establish a good relationship with your in-laws. That little girl looks quite honest. You must be bullying her first and bullying her in a hurry..."
Shi Daniu's mother began to talk about these big principles in a nagging manner, but her daughter was so anxious that she couldn't even cry.
"Mom, it's not what you said."
"Who bullies you, and I won't ask who your brother is?" Since you are not your own family, you are an outsider, and outsiders don't need to talk about the principles of the Three Obediences and Four Virtues.
