Chapter 27 The butt decides the head (for the fat mouse 99 million

Looking at Yang Feng who was grinning, many people who had been paying attention to him secretly frowned. Nowadays, people can't even eat enough, and these wines are the best wine that Qianhu can produce, but looking at the new Yang Qianhu, it seems that he is not very satisfied with this wine.

Yang Feng, who put down the wine glass, glanced at the expressions of the people. He knew that his performance just now must have misunderstood many people. He could only smile bitterly and shook his head and said, "Everyone, I am really embarrassed. The taste of this wine is really choking. This is the first time I drink such a wine, so I choked for a while. I apologize for the sake of expressing my wishes. I drink a glass of it myself."

After saying that, Yang Feng picked up the wine pot and poured a glass of wine and drank it all, then turned the wine glass to everyone to signal.

"good!"

Yang Feng's move won praise from everyone. Even those who were originally dissatisfied with him looked much better. Some people also felt a lot better for him. After all, as a Shangguan, he could still apologize so sincerely, and such a mind was definitely very impressive.

After three rounds of food and five flavors, everyone came to toast, while Geng’s deputy Qianhu introduced Yang Feng one by one.

"This one is the governor of Qi Yan, this one is Li Ge, these are the Baihu Gou Xingma, Yan Di, Guanghai, He Sheng, Xu Li, Cao Yingyu..."

"Geng's deputy Qianhu, don't just focus on introducing others, but forgetting yourself." After hearing Geng's deputy Qianhu's introduction, Yang Feng smiled and said to Geng's deputy Qianhu.

Geng Deputy Qianhu bowed and said, "This is the negligence of a humble position. The humble position is Geng Bingyi. I dare not ask for it if I am a humble name."

Yang Feng glanced at the people in the room and had some impression in his heart. Although this thousand households were so poor that they were all poor, all the official positions were full.

After pondering for a while, Yang Feng asked again: "I am a new official, but I want to ask you if the military fields of our Qianhu District are still there. I wonder what the situation is now, and if someone is farming on time?"

As soon as Yang Feng said that, the whole room immediately became quiet and everyone stopped talking.

"Why, isn't anyone talking?" Yang Feng's face immediately looked a little ugly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Where is Li Ge?"

"I'm here!"

A middle-aged man about thirty years old, with a dish-like face, a beard under his jaw and a long robe, stood up and bowed to Yang Feng.

"Li Ge, you are the official account of our Qianhu Office, and all the accounts are under your control. Now you tell me what is the total land property of Qianhu Office? How many are there left now? Who is in the hands of each of them?"

When everyone heard this, they felt nervous. Could this new Qianhuo Man want to fight for land for himself? But it is natural to think about it. As a Qianhuo Man, a Qianhuo Man, he naturally has to take the lead. However, how to divide the interests requires a good negotiation. Once this person involves his own interests, he will be nervous. No one can escape the vulgarity from ancient times to the present. For a moment, everyone's eyes looked at Yang Feng and Li Ge.

Li Ge said hesitantly with a bitter face: "It's so that Lord Qianhu learned that our Qianhu Office should have 7,687 mu of military fields during the Hongwu period. After hundreds of years of changes, we still have 2,257 mu of them left. Now the remaining military fields are all in the hands of our colleagues present. Our Qianhu Office can only barely survive every year by relying on these military fields."

"Only more than two thousand acres left?" Yang Feng couldn't help but scream: "Where did the remaining more than five thousand acres of military fields go? Could it be that it will fly into the sky?"

Everyone couldn't help but smile bitterly. The new Qianhu Lord was really unaware of things, and he didn't even know such a simple thing.

Yang Feng's face turned cold: "Li Limu, you say, who are the names of these military fields now?"

Looking at the coldness on Yang Feng's face, Li Ge's heart was trembling for some reason. He could only say helplessly: "Where can we go? After more than two hundred years of change in the dynasty, these military fields have now fallen into the name of many powerful people in Nanjing. Can we still get a request for a thousand-household office?"

A cold light flashed in Yang Feng's eyes. He looked at Geng Bingyi. After seeing him nodding with a bitter smile, he had already believed it in his heart, because no one dared to lie about such things that he could know at first question. That would be too stupid.

Yang Feng sat down again and began to ask some things again. Everyone was not stupid and dared not hide from Yang Feng, Qianhu, on such a big matter. After all, there were so many people present. If he lies, it would be bad if he was exposed in the future. Everyone said one thing and one thing, and gradually Yang Feng had a general understanding of the affairs of Qianhuyuan.

In the Ming Dynasty, the status of military households was very low, even lower than that of civilian households, but military households were one of the important sources of military personnel in the country. Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, the control of military households was very strict. Ordinary military households had to serve for life, and only when they became the Minister of the Shangshu could they be exempted from military service. But with a knee, how many people could be able to become officials and the Minister of War, that is, ministerial-level cadres? Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, there were very limited people who could be exempted from military service for more than two hundred years.

Not only that, the treatment of military households is also very low. In addition to giving away a surplus to serve as a military officer, each military household must also give up another surplus to serve as a military officer. Some places even ordered each military household to provide 2-3 surplus to accompany the army to engage in various heavy labor.

When military officers go to the garrison to serve, the costs of their military uniforms and journeys are borne by their families. During the garrison, the military officers wear their own clothes, and the food and salary does not increase due to the increase in their population. Therefore, the wives and children of the military officers are often not covered in clothes and food and food. Military households are not exempted from some corvee service because of providing military officers, and their living conditions are not as good as those of the civilian households. Not only are the family members, but the military officers who come to the garrison are not much better than their families. Military officers are exploited by the officers, and military rations are often deducted by the officers or are not owed. Some military officers do not pay military salary for several years, and some soldiers even make a living by begging. This kind of combat effectiveness of such military households can be imagined.

That's all, the military farms that were originally distributed to the sergeants were often occupied by powerful generals and schools. The generals not only let the sergeants farm and cultivate land for them, but also let the sergeants catch fish, pick wood and sell private goods for them. In short, the sergeants have become tools and hard labor in their hands.

Hearing this, Yang Feng's brows were frowned into the character "Chuan". Although these officers did not say it clearly, Yang Feng knew that the remaining officers in the thousand households of Jiangdongmen must have been divided up by these officers. But what else can Yang Feng say, because now even he has become a member of the exploiting class. When he takes office, these officers will definitely divide up some of the military fields for him.
