When he heard the word military household, he thought of the big flag with Ming characters on it that he just saw on the city wall. Pang Gang was finally sure of which dynasty he was transported to. In the past dynasties of China, there was the occupation of military household.
There are many dynasties, but there is only one most miserable dynasty for military households, and that is the Ming Dynasty founded by Zhu Yuanzhang!
In the Ming Dynasty, the household registration system was implemented. People at that time could be roughly divided according to their occupations: civilian households, military households, and craftsman households. Among them, civilian households included Confucian households, medical households, etc., and military households included school captains, powerful men,
Archers, shop soldiers, etc., and craftsmen households are divided into craftsmen households, kitchen servant households, tailor households, etc. The division of these households is very strict, mainly for the convenience of employment. If you want to fight, you will call military households, and if you need to repair projects, you will call craftsmen.
It seems that there is nothing wrong with it, but in fact it has serious flaws.
In particular, the military household system is a very fucked-up system. Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, personally stipulated that as long as he was a military household, no one was allowed to change his or her registration unless authorized by the emperor or appointed to the Ministry of War.
For example, if you are a military household, your son must also be a military household. What if you don’t have a son? This is simple, see if there are any men among your relatives, and just pick one to make up the number. If you don’t even have any relatives, then
This is not the end of the story. In short, you must find someone to work as a military household, kidnap him, trick him into taking him on the streets, and get you wherever you want. Where to find him is your own business.
Compared with civilian households or other occupations, the status of military households is very underground. Officials at all levels and even ordinary workers can use soldiers at will and deduct monthly rations. In the Ming Dynasty, the phenomenon of military households fleeing was very serious.
The government of the Ming Dynasty sent people to replenish the deserted troops many times, and even set up a Qing military censor to handle the affairs of military households fleeing and replenishing the army. After the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the military household system became in name only, and recruiting soldiers gradually became an official of the Ming Dynasty.
important source of the military.
At this moment, when Pang Gang heard that this Qianhu actually pretended to be a military household, his heart suddenly felt as if he had been poured with ice water.
But just when Pang Gang refused without thinking, he saw a well-concealed murderous intention flashing in the eyes of this Qianhu and the soldiers watching eagerly next to him. He knew very well that if half of his mouth revealed a
If he doesn't, he will definitely disappear from this world in the next moment.
Pang Gang quickly made a choice between military household and life. He gritted his teeth and said: "Master Qianhu, I can be naturalized as a military household, but I hope that you can return the book that Mr. Zhao took away."
To the villain. Because that book was left by the villain’s father, and the villain wants to keep it as a thought.”
"Your book?" He Zhengnan frowned and turned to look at Zhao Daxian.
Zhao Daxian was obviously in a bad mood after having the sword taken away from him. He turned around and took out the book from the saddle next to him, and was about to throw it at Pang Gang.
"Wait a minute, bring the book over and show it to Brother Wei!" He Zhengnan came over and reached out to take the book. He turned it over carefully as if he was about to pull out a flower from the book. After a while, he really
After finding nothing, he slowly handed it back to Pang Gang.
"Fuck, it turns out this guy is a bastard who plucks his hair. But why didn't this guy see the strangeness in that book?" Pang Gang looked at this scene with cold eyes and couldn't help but secretly despise this big belly.
Qianhu stood up, his heart in his throat.
"Well, I didn't expect that a businessman like you would actually read The Analects of Confucius! How rare!"
"The Analects of Confucius?" Pang Gang was stunned for a moment after hearing this. How could his "Encyclopedia of Modern Weapons" turn into an Analects of Confucius? Is this Qianhu covering for him? But this idea just flashed in Pang Gang's mind.
After a thousandth of a second, he immediately threw him on the back of his head. This possibility is not impossible, but it is definitely not possible for him to happen to me who has no relationship with him. What on earth is going on? Could it be that book?
Did you do it yourself?
"Here, your book is returned to you!" Sailor He Zhengnan handed the book to Pang Gang, and then ordered: "Come here, bring this...this..."
"Pang Gang." Pang Gang on the side responded quickly.
"Well, Bin Baihu, I will hand over Pang Gang to you! From now on, Pang Gang is yours, you have to discipline him well!"
A burly officer immediately walked out from the side, bowed to He Zhengnan and gave a military salute: "I humbly obey my orders!"
After He Zhengnan finished speaking, he turned around and smiled at Zhao Daxian and said: "Brother Zhao Xian, you have worked hard all the way back from escorting the grain and grass. I have prepared a banquet in the house for brother, and I am waiting for you to come back to welcome you. Come? Come, follow me in."
After saying that, He Zhengnan pulled Zhao Daxian and a dozen officers beside him and walked towards Qianhu Mansion.
Although Zhao Daxian was a little dissatisfied with the nominal eldest brother who came out halfway to snatch his "treasure sword", he did not dare to say anything. He turned around and glared at Pang Gang fiercely before following He Zhengnan into Qianhu Mansion.
"This kid will never let me go." Pang Gang, who had seen too many eyes like this, became more vigilant.
While Pang Gang was still deep in thought, a thin young soldier wearing an old and patched suit came over and patted Pang Gang on the shoulder, saying in a disdainful and slightly mocking tone: "Boy.
, come with me and stop looking. Your ancestral graves are already smoking like smoke just after your kid saved a small life. You still want to go in and have a good time? Let me tell you, when will your kid become a hundred?
Hu, you are qualified to enter Qianhu Mansion for a banquet!"
Pang Gang swallowed his anger and followed the soldier to the house on the east side obediently. As he walked, he got close to the soldier. With his face and eloquence, which he had gained from dealing with small traders and the general public before he came here, he soon passed the soldier.
The soldier's complexion became much better and he even smiled. He even found out that the soldier's name was Li Yuan and he was only seventeen years old.
Pang Gang spat on his face and said with a smile: "Brother, can you tell me what day it is today? I'm totally confused."
Li Yuan glanced at him in surprise and said, "Are you confused? Today is the second day of April."
"Uh, the second day of April?" Pang Gang suddenly felt that time and space were confused. It was already June 15th when he was thrown into the water yesterday, and now he was back in April.
"Then..." Pang Gang thought for a while and said casually: "I remember that I was still doing business in Yuezhou Prefecture last year. Although the business at that time was not very good, it is better than this year.
But it’s much better, there are too many bandits now.”
"Who says it's not the case? Since the three years of the Chongzhen Campaign, life has become increasingly difficult, and it is even more difficult this year. This thief really won't let us live our lives." Li Yuan also nodded.
"What, Chongzhen!" Pang Gang screamed uncontrollably, and his whole body froze.
"Yes!" The young man looked at this "peer of the same age" who was "making a fuss" about weird clothes and fair skin in surprise, and said strangely: "It was during the Chongzhen period!"
Pang Gang, who couldn't care less about losing his composure, grabbed Li Yuan's hand and asked eagerly: "What year is Chongzhen now?"
"Of course it is the eighth year of Chongzhen's reign. I said your brain was damaged by Mr. Zhao Bai!" Li Yuan looked at Pang Gang, who was standing there, and said with some surprise.
"Eight years of Chongzhen...Eight years of Chongzhen..." Pang Gang, who was nagging these words, suddenly felt that all his strength was almost leaving him...
