Three hundred and seventy-ninth particles

Zhang Han and Li Shenming have a lot of friends, but Li Shenming also has his own shares in the Chamber of Commerce, and there are many... This is the benefit of his unique vision and early investment. In addition, Li Shenming also manages the servant department in Zhang Han's system, and receives the top salary. He has a lot of money on hand, but he cannot buy land and property. It is difficult for merchants to walk on the old path after they have money, so he opened many restaurants in Xinpingbao and Acropolis, including Datong, each named after "weeping willows", "drunk immortals", "exiled immortals", etc. It is quite elegant in making money. Because of Zhang Han's relationship, merchants also like to go to these restaurants to gather, and Li Shenming's business is not bad.

When the carriage stopped, due to the relationship between the boss and Zhang Han, the shopkeepers and the big and small guys of the restaurant were greeted at the door. Zhang Han's subordinates included the attendant department and the guards of the Secret Service. They either followed Zhang Han or were guarding around to prevent an assassin from coming out of the idle people. Han Qi was in the first place, and Zhang Han also had many enemies, including the Fan family, the Han family, and the Mongolian Taiji. These people had no choice but to try to send a few assassins, which was also very likely. Therefore, Zhang Han's special guards were getting stricter and stricter.

Several military officers from the garrison were also waiting at the entrance of the restaurant. Because it was a pre-declared wine shop, it was not a business. Everyone was not wearing official uniforms, they were all wearing cotton clothes and casual jackets. It was very cold and there were still snowflakes in the sky, but they had to wait at the door. After a long time, each of them had snow on their faces.

Zhang Han smiled at the people, stretched out his hand, and said, "It's a cold day, why bother waiting outside? It's so embarrassing? Please come in quickly."

The commander Lu Xianchun quickly said, "Yes, Lord Xie."

The people in front of them were two magistrates named Lu Xianchun and Shang Zhiyong. Both of them were from Tianchengwei, two assistant officials Li Ai and He Mengde. One of them was Tianchengwei and the other was Zhenluwei... The official affairs of Zhenluwei were also in the Tianchengwei. In fact, the two magistrates were in the same pattern as the two magistrates. The Tianchengwei commander was also the guard of the Acropolis as usual. The Zhenluwei sometimes sent the commander of the seal, and sometimes they were also the guards. Now there is only one Wei Tongzhi, the surname is Wei, who is old and has a poor health. The world's position is Datong Zhongwei Bai

The household and descendants are all staying in their hometown to prepare for their future positions. It doesn't matter whether this person comes or not. There is only one assistant named Zhang Qichang, who is from the Zhang family of the general. He was young and energetic. He originally wanted to have a position of garrison, but was robbed of by the person named Zheng. He had poor qualifications, but he was arrogant and had a very high-ranking experience. Zhang Han, a businessman, snatched the position of garrison. Zhang Qichang didn't think about Zhang Han's strength, but he couldn't swallow it in his breath. He was usually very uncooperable, and of course it was even more impossible to attend a banquet on such an occasion today.

Everyone agreed, no matter what they thought, they would smile on their faces.

Everyone climbed to the private room on the third floor. Zhang Han sat in the upper head, Li Shenming accompanied him, and the other magistrates and assistants also sat down according to their official positions and qualifications.

Zhang Han would not mention anything else, and first said to Lu Xianchun: "The superiors have put down the signs and urged the sewage grains that the two guards should receive in recent years, totaling 430,000 stones. Brother Lu, there are so many stone grains, and there are really a lot of them. What should you do?"

The matter of paying the grain of grain is not the responsibility of which magistrate or the assistant rank, but the main thing is the commander rank. However, in recent years, several commander ranks handed over and over, and Zhang Han had just taken office, so he took out his superiors and asked these magistrates and the assistant ranks, and he also came up with a killing stick.

Lu Xianchun couldn't help but answer, and said with a blushing face: "Sir, the grain of Zijie has not been handed over for decades. We have nothing to say when we ask for payment from the Constitution, but we cannot count the accumulated problems of decades as the lower-class people in the job."

Zhang Han said: "This is indeed reasonable. The superior said that you can take your time. From this year on, you must complete the grain of grain as much as possible and set an example for each guard. The grain of grain of grain of grain of grain of grain of grain of grain of grain of grain of grain of grain of grain of grain of grain of grain of grain of grain of grain of grain of grain of grain of grain of grain of grain of grain of grain of grain of grain of grain of grain of grain of grain of grain of grain of grain of grain of grain of grain of grain of grain of grain of grain of grain of grain in one year. I will ask you in the future."

Not only Lu Xianchun felt uncomfortable in this moment, but the rest could not sit still.

In Xuanda, only a few wealthy places in the garrisons could still hand over the grain. Most of the garrisons not only could not hand over the garrisons, but even had to ask for grain from the Dushi. Later, when Lu Xiang was promoted to the Governor of Xuanda, he cleaned up the accumulated problems and effectively cultivated farming. He earned more than 200,000 stones of grain a year, and was shockingly accused by all over the court.

In fact, it is nothing more than whether you admit your work seriously and whether you are willing to offend others.

Of course, the fields of each guard were divided privately by the officers. The military households became tenant farmers and the grain was handed over to these officers. Where could the remaining grain be handed over to the treasury? The Ming Taizu established a guard station, which was originally a more thorough proposal of the government system. In the Tang Dynasty, the soldiers were farmers in their spare time, soldiers in wartime, and prepared their own war horses and weapons. The state reduced taxes and exempted them from the war. They would have rewards for winning the war. With this system, the troops were very prosperous in the early Tang Dynasty. In the middle Tang Dynasty, the foundation of the government system was gone, so of course they could only recruit troops, and the military system changed.

The idea of ​​the Ming Taizu was that the military households were always military households, and the state allocated land to the mu. They worked for generations and could not be converted into civilian households. This restricted them from death. How many military households are there now and how many future ones are there? The country always had soldiers fighting wars. In addition, soldiers can not only support themselves, but also hand over the treasury grain. This is really a huge profit.

This wishful thinking is of course shattered. The land of the garrison is not afraid of being annexed by the gentry, but the officers are even more cruel than the gentry. Now 90% of the land of the two garrisons are in the hands of officers at all levels. Military households generally become tenant farmers, with no food or clothing or warm clothing, low social status, no war, and poor farming, which can be said to be a double failure.

Monk Lu Xianchun and Zhiyong and others stood up, and everyone said, "I really can't collect the grain of grain. Please ask the adults to appreciate their feelings and give them a way out."

Zhang Han snorted coldly and said, "At the beginning of the country, the grains of grains were collected, but now the same acres of land cannot be collected?"

Everyone was bitter and did not speak. Li Shenming came out to smooth things out at this time and said, "The world is as dark as crows. Lao Lu and the others are just like the garrisons in various places. Everyone is just asking for a bowl of rice."

Lu Xianchun said: "This bowl of rice is not delicious. We are here today to ask the adults to take charge."

He winked at the other people... It is obvious that Li Shenming is soft and Zhang Han is tough. If everyone doesn't take this opportunity to step down, the next one will definitely be forced to hand over the food. How can they pay the food? If they don't pay the food, they can remove you from your job. Although everyone knows that this is just an excuse, it's enough to have an excuse!

It is better to eat soft food than hard food, although I feel very reluctant to leave it.

Zhang Han said: "I don't want to force you, everyone should think about it."

Shang Zhiyong smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, you really don't have to worry. I had already thought about it before I came here."

Shang Zhiyong took out a few deeds from his arms and said, "There are only 1,000 mu of land that are serious, most of which are bought by the civilian land. There are hundreds of acres of land given by the court, and then there are 4,000 mu of land. To be honest, they were all occupied by military households. They also established land deeds under the name of civilian land... There are 5,361 mu of land deeds, all of which are here, and only a few dozen mu of land have been left for grave fields."

Zhang Han was a little surprised, looked at Shang Zhiyong, and said, "Brother Shang has really thought about it?"

"I really thought about it." Shang Zhiyong said: "I have been leaving room for us in the past few months. My subordinates are also lucky. It is better to keep the fields in hand. Now it seems that what the adults said is not to build water conservancy and not to change the planting method. The harvest of ten or eight years of harvest will not be better. I didn't believe it before, but now it seems that the adults are right after all."

Zhang Han smiled lightly and said, "What is the expected autumn grain this year?"

Shang Zhiyong sighed: "On average, one stone is only one stone per acre, and some fields are less than one stone. I have to make up for it. Even if the officials are ruthless, they always have to leave some food for the military households. The food collected is less than 3,000 stones and miscellaneous grains. Even if the price of grain rises, it is not worth much. It will be sold in total less than 1,000 taels of silver..."

Li Ai said: "My place is even worse. All the food is sold at less than 500 taels. In summer and autumn, three thousand acres of land are earned only 1,500 taels."

Shang Zhiyong said: "Fortunately, we are exempted from the white list of taxes and services, and we can also ask the military households to help with some work. Otherwise, we may not only have no income, but also have to lose money. In recent years, the gentry of the civilian households has complained endlessly."

Lu Xianchun said: "I really can't stand it anymore. I'm afraid that it will last for five or six years. It's good to not grow every year. It's snowing one after another in winter, and it's so cold that I can't see rain from spring to summer. The river is dry. Without rain or water, where can I get a good harvest?"

"Especially, the relevant fees are increased, and miscellaneous items are also charged. We are fine. At most, the days are tighter, and some landlords can no longer hold on."

"Does the court know the sufferings in our Xuanda area?"

"It's not just Xuanda, but also Shaanxi and Gansu. Going eastward, it's not much better."

Seeing that Qiu Ba was about to get out of the topic, Li Shen coughed slightly and said with a smile: "Anyway, you can hand over the real estate and manage it for us adults. It is better than having such a headache for you."

Lu Xianchun said: "Since the lower official has come, I have this plan. I just hope that the lord will give us slightly more favorable conditions."

The rest of them didn't say anything, but they all had the same expression.

Zhang Han did not speak out, but Li Shenming said: "There are two plans for your land. One is that the paddy fields are priced at 80 to 100 taels per mu, and the dry fields are priced at 60 to 40 taels per mu. We will purchase them all for the current bank. You can collect the money you have taken away, put it in your account, or invest in our account, which is as your wish."

Several military officers looked at each other, and Li Ai said, "The price is very fair, and it is also the adults who take care of us. However, the officials and others still have to report their feelings."

Zhang Han nodded and said, "Please say it."

Li Ai said: "This day, we will be exhausted if we keep the land in hand. The adults will be much more useful than ours. They just lost their ancestral property, and the officials and others are worried that their descendants will be in vain and will be poor sooner or later. Therefore, whether they are giving silver or converting the price, we want to invest in the Chamber of Commerce." Mobile users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
