"Defense Qin Zhao has seen Qianhuo's family raises the punishment."

Xiao Heng looked at Qin Zhao hard, a little angry, but he did not dare to reveal it. Xiao Heng didn't know what background this defensive officer who came to power with the emperor's imperial edict, but he couldn't afford to offend him anyway.

If you get angry, what should you do if you go to the emperor to study his own book?

He handed over the account book of Jinghai Castle to Qin Zhao and said, "This is the account book of Jinghai Castle. Let's take a look."

Qin Zhao flipped through the account book that was like a dime in his hand and said, "It's easy to say!"

Xiao Heng looked at Qin Zhao and bowed and said, "Defense officer, I have 330 acres of private land in this Jinghai Fort. These private lands do not pay for the land of the farm. Please ask the defense officer to give up the high hand and not add the requisition of the grains."

The defensive officer of Jinghai Fort is actually the thousand households in Jinghai.

Under the Ming Dynasty's garrison system, garrisons were not only military agencies, but also military farming organizations. The people of the garrison, that is, military households, had to farm farming and pay land taxes. This land tax was called military farming.

In the actual situation in the late Ming Dynasty, a large number of officials in the garrison stations arbitrarily changed the collection ratio of the garrison stations. When the garrison station officials occupied the fields themselves, the garrison station officials decided without authorization that they did not need to hand over the garrison stations. And pressed the numbers of the garrison stations that needed to be handed over to the military households of the garrison stations that had nothing to do.

Not only that, the officials of the garrison station also wanted to use ordinary military households and arranged for the military households to work on their own private fields like slaves.

Military households originally had to bear the share of military farming grains that were much more important than ordinary land tax. They had to practice and farm, and their original identity was as sad as slaves. The officials of the garrison station in the late Ming Dynasty had to collect more military farming grains and use them, which made the life of military farming households extremely dark. A large number of military farming households fled.

By the Southern Ming Dynasty, most military households fled in the garrison were more than those in the household.

The fields under the garrison system are all military farming, how can there be any private farming? But Xiao Heng, the former defensive officer, wanted to draw out his own "private farming" in Jinghai Fort, and let these private farming fields not contain military farming grains.

According to Xiao Heng's meaning, he also hopes that after he transfers away, these private fields will not be included in the military field.

How much profit is this? If one acre of "private land" pays eight dou of land rent, the rent of these 330 acres of private land will be 260 s of grain. According to the current grain price in Guangzhou, this is the income of 800 taels of silver.

Qin Zhao made up and sneered in his heart.

He said: "Tixing Qianhu was joking."

Xiao Heng frowned and looked at Qin Zhao in surprise.

Qin Zhao said: "The fields in Jinghai Fort are all military farms, how can we not collect migrant grains? In the first year, the private fields of thousands of households must pay half of the grains. In the following years, the private fields of thousands of households will bear the same share of the grains as other military farms."

Xiao Heng's face turned red, as if he had been slapped in the face.

Unexpectedly, Qin Zhao was so cruel that he confiscated his privileges. If he had the privilege of not paying taxes, there would be military households begging themselves to rent their own "private fields", just like a private household was devoted to the name of a gentry. Without the privilege of not paying the grain of military farming, these private fields were extremely difficult to manage. After all, he had to be transferred to the Nanhai Guard. It was so far away that it was a bit out of reach to hire tenants to cultivate his own military farm.

If the tenant who rents the crops say that the harvest is not good and cannot pay the land rent, how can Xiao Heng verify the authenticity? How to manage it?

Although Qin Zhao did not openly confiscate Xiao Heng's "private land", it was almost the same. In a few years, these fields would be deserted or collected by Qin Zhao in some name.

Xiao Heng snorted coldly and said, "It is worthy of being a thousand households granted by the imperial edict."

Qin Zhao said: "I just don't want a piece of lawless land in Jinghai Fortress to be bound by the laws of the state. Qianhu is about to go to the Nanhai Wei to take charge of the punishment. Don't you know that the land in the garrison is all military farms and there is no private land at all?"

Seeing that Qin Zhao's words became more and more fierce, Xiao Heng almost confiscated his private land, so he quickly said, "What Qianhu said makes sense, just do what you said!"

Qin Zhao smiled and said no more.

The two of them were not speculative, and the scene was a bit awkward.

Xiao Heng thought that more than 300 acres of private land had been rented out, his heart was like a knife, and his words were all done. How many unjust cases would he have to handle to earn so much land rent during the tenure of thousands of households? It was almost impossible.

But Qin Zhao came to take over him and had to handle materials and manpower. Qin Zhao could refer to Xiao Heng's letter of "neglecting his duties and greed and taking advantage of the situation." When he arrived at Ma Shiying, the Ministry of War of Nanjing, Xiao Heng really had to learn to be a human being again.

The thousand households enfeoffed by the imperial edict have channels to reach the emperor directly, and it is not something that ordinary thousand households in the local area can be provoked.

Xiao Heng did not dare to turn against Qin Zhao because of this. He tried his best to deal with Qin Zhao on the scene, and agreed with Qin Zhao's words, which made the scene a little weird.

After talking for a quarter of an hour, Xiao Heng couldn't continue. He began to hand over with Qin Zhao.

"Jinghai Fort has five hundred households under its jurisdiction, each of which has one team officer and one hundred households."

After walking out of the official hall, Xiao Heng said, "There are 321 military households in Jinghai Fort, and 1,157 Dings." After looking at the account book, Xiao Heng said, "There are 446 males, 317 strong females, 209 young sons, and 185 young girls."

"The male number is 269 people in the middle of the banner."

The flag lie was the ward soldiers under the ward system. Although the ward system in the late Ming Dynasty had long been in decline, and all the soldiers who fought were battalions and soldiers, the Ming Dynasty still adhered to the ancestral system and still counted the number of flag liemen in each ward, which was one of the assessment indicators for the officials of the ward.

Qin Zhao was stunned and asked, "Isn't this a thousand household office? Why are there so few people?"

Xiao Heng rolled his eyes and said with a forced smile: "Defense officer, serious military escape is also a disease in our Ming Dynasty. In the future, the defensive officer will know the reason for it carefully."

Qin Zhao took a breath and said nothing.

Xiao Heng took Qin Zhao to the warehouse and saw several flag guarding the warehouse lying on the ground fighting crickets. He was angrily going up and kicking them a few times.

Several flag dating men woke up from their dreams, grabbed the red tassel gun in their hands and stood up quickly.

Xiao Heng flipped through the account book and said, "The defensive officer has 270 waist knives, 311 tassel guns, forty-six hand shields, 13 large shields, twenty-seven eight-power bows, forty-three seven-power bows, and sixty-one six-power small bows. Arrows are incalculable. Sixty-three hanging doors are incalculable. More than five hundred stones are incalculable."

What Xiao Heng was most proud of was that he was very careful to collect the stones to defend the city, so when he was hiding, he mentioned it in the end.

In his opinion, this is the only place where the defense officer of Jinghai Fort may make political achievements. If there are really no blind thieves attacking Jinghai Fort, a big stone will be smashed on the wall, and any siege equipment will be smashed.

But Qin Zhao's focus was not here. Qin Zhao asked in surprise: "Do you have a firearm?"
