Chapter 82 Thousands
It is almost impossible to prevent military households from escaping these days. Can the hundred households not be employed to occupy military households? Will the hundred households not accumulate the share of the military households on the cowardly military households?
If you want the military households not to escape, you must let the military households have enough food and clothing and live a better life than the civilian households.
Is this completely impossible OK?
What does the newly appointed Qianhu mean? Is this going to rectify the five small donors below Jinghai Fort?
Although this new thousand households are designated by the imperial edict, as the saying goes, a strong dragon will not defeat local snakes.
The five hundred households suddenly felt as if they were beaten on their faces.
The five people looked at each other for a while, and the hundred households who recommended "Xingzi Fort" came out and asked: "Defense Master! Let's tell the truth, we can't do it if the military households don't escape."
"The scenery this year is not good, and the harvest in the Tunbao is very dull. There are always tricky military households who are unwilling to practice and flee to the distance to be savages."
In the Ming Dynasty, the government called the mountain farmers without Huangdi as savages. Some of these savages established villages in the deep mountains and lived better than ordinary people under the government system.
Qin Zhao took another sip of tea and said, "If you can't do it, you can work hard. I will put my words here first, and you can do it as much as possible."
When the five hundred households heard Qin Zhao's words, they seemed to be not very forced to evaluate this assessment standard. But vaguely, they felt that Qin Zhao had a backup plan to make it easier for them to lift the table with five subordinates at any time in the future.
The five people only felt that Qin Zhao was not easy to deal with, and they all had sweat all over their heads.
Qin Zhao smiled and said, "Okay, there are so many chores in Jinghai Castle. I want to deal with them one by one, so I won't leave you. If you have anything to do, go and do it yourself."
Five hundred households sat up from the chairs in fear and sang promises in unison.
After the five hundred households were dispersed, Qin Ning came up and said, "Master Qianhu, what are we going to do next? Should we rectify the share of the military farmland in the fort and withdraw some of the exploitation too harshly, so as not to continue to flee?"
Qin Zhao said: "The first thing to do before, now is to recruit a group of servants."
Qin Ning's eyes lit up and he asked, "How many servants are you going to recruit?"
Qin Zhao used the lid of the tea cup to pluck the tea leaves and said slowly: "Recruit a thousand people first."
Qin Ning opened his mouth wide in an instant and couldn't speak for a long time.
"Brother Zhao, aren't you joking? You really recruit a thousand people?"
Qin Zhao covered the teacup and said slowly, "It is to recruit a thousand people." After a smile, he said, "Send five working groups to various villages to play gongs and promote the news that we are going to recruit soldiers. Then hire fifty people from Qinjia Village to do chores, and follow me to do chores and handle all kinds of chores."
...
On the morning of July 27, Chen Defu tied his belt tighter again, feeling that the feeling of hunger would be weaker.
He jumped out of the bed and put on his shoes, and walked towards a mother's room inside.
His old mother, Chen Jiang, looked at Chen Defan weakly on the bed and asked embarrassedly: "My son hasn't been put into the pot for two days. You are wearing socks and shoes. Where are you going to go to make trouble?"
Chen Defan walked to the storage box at home, opened the storage box, and took out a cotton jacket from the bottom of the box.
Chen Jiang's eyes suddenly turned red, and he looked at Chen Defan and said, "My son, you still can't stand the hunger. Do you want to use the cotton jacket?"
A line of turbid tears flowed down Chen Jiang's face, and she said, "My son, if this cotton coat is removed, there is really nothing valuable at home."
Chen Defan nodded and said, "Mom, I know."
Chen Jiang wiped his tears and said, "My son, the pawnshop in the town is mean, last time my cotton coat... he was willing to... only be willing to make two hundred dollars. This time my son will do it in the county."
She hadn't eaten for several days and had no strength to speak.
Chen Defan looked at the cotton coat before and after, confirmed that the clothes were not bitten by insects, and said, "Mom, I won't go to the pawnshop for now. I'll go to Jinghai Castle to recruit servants?"
Chen Jiang was stunned and asked embarrassedly: "Appointment servant?"
Chen Defan nodded and said, "Yes! Recruiting servants. I heard that someone went to the village to shout yesterday. The newly appointed Qianhu Master of Jinghai Fort is called Qin Zhao, who is from Qinjia Village in the south. This time he wants to recruit hundreds of servants and call people everywhere to apply for the recruitment."
When Chen Jiang heard that his son was going to join the army for his livelihood, he couldn't help but turn red again.
"My son, please find out, is there a bite of food there?"
"Mom, you don't understand. I heard that Qin Zhao and Qin Qianhu were a very generous man. The servants he recruited were given three or two months of money every month, and he also had meat and meat for every meal."
"It's said there's an egg in the morning, and there are two taels of meat and meat every day at noon and at night."
Chen Jiang was stunned and said embarrassedly: "Is it impossible? Is there such a good thing?"
Chen Defan said, "Mom, I heard several people say this. It is so sensible that at least I can't escape the monthly salary. Then I will raise it and not say I have enough to eat, but I will have the salary. I will give you the money every month and you will have food."
When Chen Jiang heard this, he wiped his tears and said, "My son, you have grown up and become sensible. But what this family member wants is... a body, you haven't eaten for two days, so... can you get it? "
"Or why you go to the county town to work as a cotton coat, exchange it for a few hundred big money... and eat a bowl of full rice, and then go to apply for the recruitment."
When Chen Defan heard this, he pressed the quilt on his hand with his hand and had not spoken for a long time.
But in the end, Chen Defan still dared not take the risk. This cotton coat is a life-saving treasure at home. If it is disguised, there will be nothing to exchange for rice.
"Mom, let's recruit it before you can be a cotton coat. I'll go to Jinghai Castle to take a look, and take a step by step."
Chen Jiang nodded.
Chen Defan stopped talking to his mother, tied the cotton coat to his waist and went out to Jinghai Castle.
He insisted on hunger all the way, and walked for a while to Jinghai Fortress. After an hour, he finally arrived.
Outside Jinghai Castle, there are already a crowd of people.
Young people in the entire Xiangshan County seemed to be motivated to apply. There were long queues at the registration office, only people could see the heads swaying. There were more than a dozen large tents standing south of Jinghai Castle, and long queues were waiting in front of each tent. After coming out of one tent, you had to queue up in the next tent.
At the front of these large tents, a small tent with a large open door, and five Qin family servants sat there, where they issued candidate physical examination cards.
The tents were filled with men from Qinjia Village. Now Qin Zhao has soared into the sky, and the men from Qinjia Village have all risen to heaven. Another fifty men from Qinjia Village have been recruited by Qin Zhao to do things.
Other villagers have to do things under Qin Zhao, and it depends on the expressions of the people in Qinjia Village.
Chen Defan went up to line up, endured his hunger, and got his physical examination card.
The physical examination card is a piece of paper with six horizontal, six vertical and thirty-six grids. Every time the grid jumps, a physical examination item is written, such as height, weight, etc.
Chen Defan received his sign and was very happy, so he lined up to the first large tent to prepare for the first physical examination.
The first physical examination was to measure height. Chen Defan's height was five feet and five inches, which was much taller than the passing line.
One foot in the Ming Dynasty was about 31 centimeters from later generations, and five feet and five inches were 1.66 meters.
