Du Qian got off the horse panting, crossed the field path, crossed the frozen stream, turned over a small wood, and saw the dense crowds on the hillside.
"Let's go." He greeted him, and more than ten followers followed closely, walking forward step by step.
After walking a hundred steps, a young man jumped out of the roadside, raised his head and said, "Did you bring it?"
"General Chang can report it, and you have all brought it." Du pointed to the luggage carried by the entourage behind him and said.
"I should not be called a general." Chang Long said, "Wait."
Du stood by the roadside and took a breath.
He worked as a military officer in the Shanyu Mansion for eight years, and after leaving the mansion, he sought a local official position.
But what good position can a small military officer get? Since the end of the Jin Dynasty, joining the army and leaving the palace can only guarantee a county magistrate. No matter how high it is, it depends on luck. He can get the position of Puyang Order completely thanks to eight years of struggle in the bitter and cold land. It is really not easy. Now it is becoming increasingly difficult for the children of the gentry to become officials, and there are always many people fighting for it.
On the distant hillside are many figures on the Puyang territory, such as the Emperor, King Han, the Governor of Bingzhou, the Prefect of Taiyuan, the Governor of the Longxiang Mansion of Puci, and some attendants.
They were talking about the land of the military palace, and Du knew very well that because the emperor ordered him to bring his household registration and land in Jinyang County for reference.
It was a cold weather, so I didn’t hurry back to Luoyang to enjoy the wine, but I ran around in this field, and even the local officials were whipped and couldn’t live in peace.
After waiting for half an hour, Chang Long appeared again and brought Du and his group in. At this time, the emperor was already at the home of a soldier in the palace.
Du looked at the home of the mansion carefully.
As soon as I entered the house, there were three rooms on the left, the center and the right, with a hall in the middle, which was slightly larger. On the right was the residence of the two men and women of the mansion, and on the left was the residence of their parents.
On the left side of this house, there is a left wing room, a total of three small houses, two living rooms, one living room with two sons, one living room with two daughters, and the other living room with a kitchen.
There are two more houses on the right, one is very bad, made of branches and mud, and it seems to have seven or eight sheep raised, and the other is a wood-room.
All the houses are surrounded by fences and form a yard, the front yard.
There are two pear trees, two apricots and one jujube planted on the left side of the front yard, which avoids the door and takes up a large part of the space in the courtyard.
On the right is a vegetable, and a well is dug in the middle.
A small door was opened on the fence between the right wing room and the main room. The outside of the door was filled with straw, which could be burned, but it was usually used to feed livestock.
A small pond was dug next to it, and seven or eight mulberry trees were planted around the pond.
There is a small house next to the pond, with two big and two small four people living. Standing at the door and looking quietly here, it should be his family's group.
There is a ditch outside the left wing room. There are two families living outside the ditch, which are arranged in front and back, and are not big, and it seems to be his family's unit.
The mansion soldier seems to be still renovating the space behind the house.
It was a depression with traces of landfill. It seemed that I had planned to consolidate it and then come out again.
After returning from the expedition to Shu, they all had money and became more concerned about the management of their family business.
To be honest, this family can still be passed by now, and the soldiers of the government have enough money and food to maintain their combat effectiveness, but what about the future? Land is the key.
"You are still young, but you are only thirty-one or two, and you have two children. What should you do if you have too many children in the future?" Shao Xun waved, asked Du to sit down, and then looked at the dark-faced mansion soldier and asked.
"The eldest daughter is fourteen and is about to get married." said the mansion: "Dalang is eleven this year and starts practicing martial arts at the age of seven. He is still talented, so he will inherit his military status in the future."
"Where is Erlang?" Shao Xun asked.
The soldiers of the palace were obviously hesitant and said, "I have asked Your Majesty for the great victory in the conquest of Shu. I have received a lot of money and silk rewards. I can get back into the house again. It is only enough for my house to have several acres."
Shao Xun nodded.
The parents of the soldiers were about fifty years old. While farming, they weaved some baskets and other things at home. After they passed away,
In fact, there was only one main room vacant, and this person planned to have three more main rooms. In this way, even after both sons got married, there was enough space to live. He probably considered that there would be children in the future.
It is obvious that in addition to marrying his daughter out, the soldier hopes that all his existing sons and who may be born in the future will live with him.
This is human nature.
From the perspective of the military soldiers, his family planted 50 acres of 200 acres of land and 150 acres of 3 households. They agreed to share the share with them. The specific proportion depends on how to discuss and the relationship between them. The relationship between them should not be too harsh, after all, they have to go to the battlefield.
Currently, there are two sons, so what if you divide it out with fifty acres? It’s not impossible to use the remaining 150 acres.
Of course, at this time he would not consider that the tribes would also grow the population.
But from the perspective of the court, 200 acres of land must support more people, and the consumption will increase and the surplus will decrease. This will reflect the economic strength of the soldiers. Not to mention, many soldiers do not divide the land into 200 acres, and there are many people in more than 100 acres.
After a big defeat, if you throw away your armor, how long will it take to buy a new pair of iron armor?
Whether there is iron armor on the battlefield is completely different, and the combat effectiveness cannot be compared.
It is true that if the land is not enough, the court can also stimulate their rusticity through other means, such as giving political privileges, but land is ultimately the root.
This is why the two sides have different positions.
"Your Majesty, I have made merits and can buy land." Seeing that Shao Xun did not speak, the soldiers of the mansion said softly: "When I pacified Shu, I went to the battle once, once I got into the battle, once I got out of the battle, and once I got out of the battle, and I won. I couldn't figure out how much I earned. I had to go to the military palace to check, but it should be a lot."
"How might it be." Shao Xun praised, then looked at Shao Jie and Du, and asked, "How about the household registration in Jinyang in Taiyuan?"
Shao Jie was prepared and immediately replied: "I just checked in the fourth year of Kaiping. There are more than 65,000 households and more than 235,000 households in the nine counties of Taiyuan."
After Shao Jie finished speaking, Du said, "There are 19,200 households and 81,700 households in Jinyang County."
"But there is still room for anything?" Shao Xun asked.
"There are very few in Jinyang." Du replied: "The military mansion already occupied most of the land and was gone. If we cultivate the fine plains of the mountains, we may still get some, but we need to open up land."
"Your Majesty, Pingyao, Yangqu and other counties may still have some wasteland, and Jinyang is indeed gone." Shao Jie also said.
Shao Xun basically believed this.
When he saw that the tribes here were deserted, the people were killed and injured, and they fled, he was able to place the soldiers here. There were 9,600 soldiers and 38,400 households in Taiyuan Prefecture. If you count carefully, the relevant personnel of the military prefecture accounted for 60% of the Taiyuan household registration.
The big clans and ordinary people only get 40%.
This is still a household registration. If the land is calculated, the proportion of Taiyuan’s military soldiers will be even higher, far more than 60%.
They have controlled most of the resources in the local area.
Since the Han Dynasty, Taiyuan has been considered a very mature area for development, and its potential is basically exhausted, and it can only support 200,000 or 300,000 people. If there are more people, they will suffer from poverty, or there will be external blood transfusions, which will help to support more people.
"You can also be considered traveling around the north and the north, you should know the situation of the counties." Shao Xun said: "At that time, more than ten counties in Taiyuan were merged. Our dynasty merged several counties, leaving only eight counties, and the number of Liloufan was added to nine counties. Ten years have passed, and Taiyuan has been continuously moved in, and the merged wasteland counties have flourished again. When I went north, I went to Pingyao County (the merger of the three counties of Wu, Zhongdu and Jingling) and looked at it. The children all over the ground were smiling and asked where I came from."
When everyone heard this, they laughed a few times.
"I am very happy to see it. Isn't it just to let the people live and work in peace?" Shao Xun said, "But it is precisely because of the household registration, and now Taiyuan County only has some wasteland, Pingyao, Qi and other places."
"You are all fierce soldiers in a hundred battles, and they have many achievements. I don't want to treat you too harshly. Can you buy wasteland in the county? If you don't want to,
I can only go to another county.”
The subtle meaning of this is that your family’s 200 acres of land cannot be divided, but you can go to Pingyao, Yangqu, Qi and other counties to buy land on a first come first served basis, and it will be gone if it is too late.
This is actually a little concession made by Shao Xun. He is really kind to the soldiers of the palace and is very patient.
After hearing what Shao Xun said, the military soldier was still a little hesitant.
"If you don't want to, the Woye Town of Anbei Protectorate needs to be formed." Shao Xun said again: "If you make meritorious service and receive rewards, even if you are an official, it is not out of reach."
"I'm willing." The soldiers of the mansion immediately replied.
The Anbei Protectorate Palace sounds like a bitter and cold place. If you go there as a soldier, it will be difficult for you to come back in your life, and you will not even be able to find your wife.
"That's great." Shao Xun smiled and said, "There are three hundred guards in this way, and there are those who have already divided the fields?"
The soldiers of the government hesitated and said, "Some of them are older, most of their children are adults, and those who are married have already gone out separately.
Bei Shaoxun looked at King Han and said, "Wuron, this is what you are going to do next. Completely investigate the homeland and privately divide the house and take them all back."
"If the soldiers in the palace turn their children into a division, it would be fine. The division was originally recruited by the court and placed in another place."
"If you want to buy land for your own children, listen."
"I have made up my mind. Although the founding of the country only lasted for six years, the government has more than six years of military service. There are many problems during this period, and it is unimaginable not to visit it."
"The left and right Jinwu Guards were investigated together. Including the left and right cavalry, the left and right Yulin, my son can be the "Six Guards' Interview and Disposal Envoy",
He appointed his subordinates and was allowed to recruit a thousand soldiers. All the expenses were provided by the Shaofu, and the matter was stopped."
After this order, everyone looked at the young man beside Shao Xun with scrutiny.
The patrols of the cavalry on the left and right, the Yulin on the left and right, and the Jinwu soldiers on the left and right were patrolling the fields of 48,000 soldiers on the left and right. Not only should the military government cooperate, but the local governments also cooperate.
Because of the ritual granted by the emperor, this kind of "service" official has always had great power. If someone who knows how to play can abuse his power to do a lot of things.
"The soldiers in the palace are national guards, so they are given land and land. Those who are not named in the military will not be able to separate the military fields privately." Shao Xun looked at the soldiers in the palace sitting opposite and said, "It is not my own to make trouble, but to prevent the problem from happening, so he has to do it."
The soldiers of the mansion glanced at Shao Xun and said, "I have received great kindness from Your Majesty. What will happen if your Majesty says?"
There are emotions, but when facing Shao Xun, he is willing to suppress his dissatisfaction because everything he has given to him is given by Shao Xun, and he is more grateful.
Seeing this, Shao Xun became more and more aware of one thing: if he does some things, even if he offends people, he will not be able to cause any trouble because he has the prestige to suppress dissatisfaction.
It is expected to take at least one year to investigate the military fields of the country, and it will take quite a while to finish the matter after the investigation.
Ten years later, if he was still alive, he would definitely conduct a second census and strive to hand over a relatively healthy system of military troops to the next generation.
