Just as he learned about the battle between Shengping Salt Stack and Datong Zuowei, Zhu Da subconsciously believed that Shengping Salt Stack had nothing to do with the garrison, but he calmed down and thought about it, but he could come up with some wrong details.

The Zuowei of Datong is the Shituwei. The Shituwei of not only is the military force of one guard, but also the administrative area of ​​tens of thousands of households. The indigenous people living in this area are all military households.

In other words, Xiang Bo is a military household, Qin Xiucai is a military household, and most of the salt bank powers Zhu Da saw were military households. Those guards might be veterans who returned from battle, or even the guards who had no support.

This was confirmed at the ceremony of accepting adopted sons. The two general flags and several small flags came, not the people in the garrison, and there was also a "old high-ranking household".

In theory, they are all in the garrison, and in a sense they are colleagues. Moreover, the military officers of the garrison are hereditary positions. They have been inherited for many generations, and the entanglement relationships of the tangled bones should be vague and ambiguity. But it depends on everyone's handling, the mobilization of bandits and kidnapping on the other side, and the cavalry is raided and bloody. This situation is like an enemy country. So what kind of friendship and family affection are there for colleagues and neighbors?

The questions asked by Zhu Da made Qin Xiucai stunned and looked over in surprise. Zhu Da could recognize Qin Chuan's expression at this time, clearly "A smart child knows everything, but asks such a question."

"It's a blessing that I brought you out of Baibao Village, otherwise this cramped village would really hurt you." Qin Xiucai sighed. He thought Zhu Da didn't know because of the impaired growth environment. Zhu Da naturally wouldn't explain such a misunderstanding.

The two left behind knights were feeding three horses and removing the horse's saddle. Seeing that they wanted to let the animals rest for a while, Qin Qin was about to run into the field, but Qin Xiucai grabbed his hand and refused to move.

Qin Chuan pulled his daughter and wanted to speak, but pondered for a while. After a while, he pondered: "You don't know the truth but it's not surprising that ordinary military households can't experience these things. I ask you, do you know that the brothers have a breakup because of their separation?"

Zhu Da nodded. He had seen a lot of experiences like this, and there were realistic examples in Baibao Village.

"The biological brothers of poor families will turn against each other and even have murder cases. What are they fighting for? It may be a piece of land, or even a pot and a piece of cloth. This can be a mess for this, let alone..."

The garrisons are different from the place. There are proletarian households in prefectures and counties, but the military households of the garrisons all have a piece of land passed down from their ancestors to cultivate, although they were more or less commanded and taken away by thousands of households.

The land of ordinary military households cannot support too many people. Only the eldest son can inherit this identity and inherit this land. This land must support the elderly who cannot work in the family, the children who have not been adults, and the couple who are farming. In this case, the sons outside the eldest son in the family must leave the road to make a living after they become adults. Otherwise, the land of the family cannot support more adult men. These men who are not eldest sons are the so-called "remembers".

Therefore, ordinary military households have been controlling their childbirth, but there are no good methods, so the child is still inevitably born. At this time, it is very cruel. The Weishang Institute, like many poor areas in the Ming Dynasty, has a tradition of infanticide, but other poor places are habitually killing babies. The Weishang Institute, on the other hand, if they really get a daughter, raise them and get married, or can exchange them for brides or supplement their families, it is better than the boys born to them.

Compared with ordinary military households, the commanders at the top of the garrison, commanders and commanders, as well as the thousand households who hold real power all occupy a large amount of land and have a large number of industries. A large number of proletarian survivors in the garrison are all for them to be slaves, tenants, cattle and horses, and work hard all their lives.

The commander and the thousand households naturally do not control the childbirth. They have wives and concubines, and many children. If their daughters don’t say anything, their sons also have enough property and location to be placed. The commander and the thousand households can often earn a second-class or more senior position. Although there are no regulations on the king's law and military law, it is easy for the generals of the garrison to operate.

But the wealth that has finally been accumulated cannot be divided. There may be this possibility among the people. In this large-scale industry, children and grandchildren will divide it equally from generation to generation, and in the end nothing will be left. However, under the garrison system, there is no such possibility, because the person who is the eldest son wants to inherit his father's position and completely suppress his brothers in terms of power and status will definitely occupy the largest share, and then repeat it, and so on, even if the second son of the commander's family will have poor children after three generations.

It would have been fine if the garrison was first established. Decades and hundreds of years passed, and everyone could see clearly what would happen. The poor military households had no thoughts and had long since lost their hearts. But who would be willing to command the children of thousands of households and their children, especially those who had enjoyed it, who had seen it, and lost it after they became adults, and could only watch the brothers take everything away. They could only ask for charity in front of their elder brothers. This would make people with ideas uneasy. In a sense, they even hatred more than the brothers who had fallen out of the poor, because they had to compete for more and greater benefits.

For families of the commander and Qianhu family, there are far more brothers than ordinary families. The children of high-ranking military officers in this garrison are far more engaged in the military and doing business than others. Since there is no hope of inheriting the official position and land of the family, then you can gain a background and wealth by yourself. However, the risk on the battlefield is too great, and it is not easy to make military achievements. The possibility of being injured, disabled or even losing your life is quite large. Therefore, most of them choose the path of doing business.

Although the children of high-level military officers in these garrisons are not as good as their elder brothers, the starting point is much higher than that of ordinary people. They have a way, capital, hand, and force, and the chances of making them are much higher than others.

"...Our family is also the same type. The eldest son inherits the family business and the second son is studying for the imperial examination. However, Datong is a border fortress, with a prosperous martial arts style, and his literary affairs are very declining. There are a few people who read it. Most of them go to do business. If they are in a confidant place like Zhili, Henan, and Huguang, it would be very different. What are the scholars from the Wei Institute? Juren and Jinshi are ordinary..."

Qin Xiucai saw that Zhu Da was eager to learn, so he explained it in depth and detail. He originally wanted to accept Zhu Da, which was considered as preaching and answering doubts.

While speaking, he carried Qin Qin on his back. He was still in that "cradle". The horses were almost resting. However, neither Qin Xiucai nor the two knights got on the horse, but led the horse forward. The direction he was going was exactly the opposite of the group of people just now. Zhu Da could probably estimate that he was heading in the right direction now.

The story continues. When the garrison was first established, the whole world of Ming Dynasty was in ruins, and land was the safest wealth. Later, high-level military officers invaded the military farms of military households and embezzled the grain taxes paid. The benefits of the military farms became increasingly greater. In any case, this hereditary military position that represents wealth and power is the most valuable and precious.

But now, the world has been peaceful for a long time, and the farmland output is far less than the income from business and trade. Moreover, people are greedy. No one will dislike their own money, and no one will hate more means of making money. The commander of the garrison and the thousand households began to get involved in this area.

Normal business is actually okay, it is nothing more than common commercial competition, but those profitable business are different, such as private salt, trade with Mongolian tribes on the grassland, these areas that are not protected by the royal law are naturally the laws of the jungle, and the strong prey on the weak.

"...The battles here are all life-threatening. Some businesses have been fighting decades ago, and the grudges of three or four generations..."

"...but the entanglement of grudges is originally a family business, but now it's mostly business..."

Even if the original generation is brother, after three or four generations, the gap between the rich and the poor is getting bigger and bigger, and the relationship will naturally become more and more distant. There are not so many struggles within the clan. After all, it is for money. In this world, it is only for money that will last forever.

"... Although Datong has started wars with the Tartars every year, there have been few great wars. That is, Emperor Wuzong fought hard battles at that time, and the garrison office became increasingly unusable, so they didn't need them to go into battle for a long time. After such peace, there will be more and more people. Do you know all the commanders of a garrison?"

Qin Xiucai asked questions while walking. Zhu Da knew a little bit about this, and some people in the village had also discussed it.

"There is one commander, two commander-in-chiefs, and two commander-in-chiefs." Because this question is too simple, Zhu Da specially told his deputy.

Qin Xiucai smiled and shook his head. Qin Qin, who was poking his head out from behind, smiled and said, "Brother Zhu, you are wrong. Our garrison has a total of four commanders, eleven commanders and twelve commanders."

So many? Zhu Da subconsciously thought that someone was joking with Qin Qin, but after looking at Qin Xiucai, he realized that this was true.

"In Taiping, there are many grades and salary, so there are naturally more and more officials. Our garrison is hereditary inside, and there are also sealed outside, and they will be hereditary after coming, and there are also nominees. This is not an exception for our garrison. All garrisons are like this. However, there is only one commander in charge, called "the main manager". There are about five or six people who can have practical management in the guild, and there are fewer thousand households and thousands of deputy households in a thousand households, but there are more than one chief and two deputy households. These people who are not in charge can also be called "Yu Ding". "Qin Xiucai joked, but Zhu Da thought this was really appropriate.

There are naturally conflicts between real power and leisure. Some people cannot get more real profits, so they naturally have to start a new situation, but everyone wants real profits. If there are too many on one side, there will be less on the other side.

"The things in this military household in the garrison are nothing more than the fact that the masters take more, the Yu Ding takes less, or even cannot get them. How come they won't fight hard?"
