Chapter V Capital
(Today's first update, there is another update tonight)
The first item is land.
Speaking of which, Lian family still has some land. After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Hongwu issued a military household system, which was also to restrict these soldiers to the local area for generations. Each military office had a large amount of land and each military household had a lot of land. Lian family has been a military household for the vanguard of the government army for generations. Although the vanguard of the government army was one of the twenty-four guards who guarded the emperor, the soldiers also had wives and children to support themselves and had a permanent property.
Therefore, the fields were also enfeoffed, and since they were twenty-four guards, they were given special preferential treatment. The enfeoffed land was fertile and the area was larger. Later, Emperor Yongle moved the capital to Beijing, and the avant-garde of the government army followed him, and re-divided the land and cultivated land, and the land was outside Zhengyangmen. In this era, Beijing was not the difficult appearance of being haunted by sandstorms in later generations, but it was the first-class fertile land in the country. Moreover, the rivers were traced, irrigation was very convenient, and the harvest was very good.
Although the Ming Dynasty was established for a hundred years, some systems had long been abolished, and the fields in this garrison were also enfeoffed by the officers, but after all, they were at the feet of the emperor, and these rice insects did not dare to do too much. Later, Emperor Zhengde reformed and the military households became civilian households, so they also divided the land according to the number of people and official titles in the military households. At that time, Lian Zining's father had just inherited the position of the General Banner. He was young and promising, and his martial arts were outstanding, so he was in the lower class of the avant-garde army.
The officers can also be regarded as personal figures. With this relationship, the Lian family has divided ten acres of good irrigated land, which doesn't seem to be much, but don't forget that this is at the foot of the emperor, and the limited arable land outside the city has been targeted by many people. The emperor's imperial village, the manors of famous families, and the ministers' private land must be concentrated here. It is difficult to get ten acres of land in such a place where every inch of land is as difficult as a small company commander who bought ten villas within the Third Ring Road in Beijing.
Later, Lian Zining's father died on the battlefield. The court gave him some pensions and gifts from his colleagues in the guards during the funeral. The sum of these money was also very small. The money was bought for ten acres of land at the beginning. However, later my mother was seriously ill and had no money at home. The ancestral home could not be sold, so she went to the takeaway land little by little, just like cutting flesh with a blunt knife. The ten acres became the current two acres of land.
However, the twelve acres of land in total are quite a lot, and some poorer Beijing officials may not be able to buy these family businesses in their lifetime. However, there were only two people left in the Lian family, one of whom had to study and the other had to make money, and they were not the materials for managing the fields, so they could only rent the ten acres of land to the farmers next door. Originally, the Lian family was still living a life of a living, but they couldn't help but be unhappy. Last year, the northern land was drought, and the foundation of the drying in the river was revealed. The twelve acres of land had no grain and no grain was raised. The two emperors had to pay the land taxes from both sides, so they fell into this situation.
The second item is the fame of the scholar now.
Although it is impossible for me to take the exam again for some reasons, the fame of a scholar must be preserved. In this era, with such a protective color, the benefits of such an identity are self-evident. Before another identity is higher than that of a scholar, I must not give up. This is like later generations. When I was looking for a job, people naturally look up to you when they see you as a doctoral student from a prestigious university. If you graduate from junior high school, you will naturally be despised.
This year is the provincial examination, and I can’t get a juren exam, but the identity of a scholar can be maintained for half a year. According to the Ming Dynasty, the scholar’s fame is also limited. If you take regular exams, the second most test scores will be issued and removed from the nationality. Lian Zining can foresee that he must be one of the last few - in half a year, he will have to make some achievements.
The third item is the connections that the body itself has.
Lian Zining is a family leader. His ancestors were originally a soldier who followed Emperor Yongle to raise an army to the storm. He made great contributions. Once, he even blocked a ravine for Emperor Yongle, and was shot through his face. He left a huge scar on his cheeks on both sides. As we all know, Emperor Yongle treated his heroes the most kind. Although this man was cruel and ruthless, he would never do anything like his father Zhu Chongba. So later, the ancestor of the Lian family, this ancestor, raised his troops.
At that time, the unknown little man, after Emperor Yongle ascended the great treasure, became a thousand-household magistrate of the prefecture army! Time passed by, the Lian family had long declined. When he arrived in Lianfu's area, he only became a mere general flag officer. However, Lianfu was known as the Hebei big gun in the world, and he once won the championship in the shooting competition. He was a famous brave figure in the entire prefecture army. Among his colleagues he had known back then, many of them now hold important positions.
Because Lian's father was fighting for the country and died on the battlefield, these former colleagues were quite worried. Several people once expressed their intention to take care of them. However, Lian Zining was just a pedantic scholar at the beginning, so how could he understand these? I don't know how many opportunities he wasted.
Since Lian Zining is reborn, he will naturally not make such a mistake again. He was also a prominent figure in college, otherwise he would not have coaxed his mentor who is often famous and upright and happy all day long, and is even more timid than his own son.
After sorting out all the things, there are only these three advantages. As for the other fragments, it’s better not to mention them.
With these three advantages, Lian Zining became clear in his heart. He gently tapped the handrail with his right hand, thinking about how to make the most detailed use of these three advantages so as to play their greatest role.
