Chapter 740 The Lonely Family
Huo Xi turned around and entered the mansion, and met Jun's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who specially welcomed them.

"Ying'er is not feeling well. Your sister-in-law is young and ignorant. I'm so busy that I don't even know that you were blocked in front of the house again. Can it be solved?" Jun's expression was concerned.

"Ah, Ying'er is not in good health? Did you ask the government doctor to see it? I brought some medicinal materials from the capital, and someone will pick them up and send them over later."

Wushi paused, while Junshi said happily, "That's great, the capital has more famous doctors, and the medicinal materials are better than our small place, so I'll thank you, the second aunt, for Ying'er."

Knowing that the Jun's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law already knew about the situation outside the mansion, and that the mansion was full of their eyeliners, Huo Xi still told them about the situation outside the mansion just now.

"It's good that the matter is settled. Let it go for a few days, and wait for the letter from the Duke of the country to come back, and see how he gives instructions. This kind of thing shouldn't be worrying about our backyard women, it should be their men worrying about it. You just Come on, let you encounter such a thing, it is my fault. The Duke of the country knows that he is going to blame me."

"My aunt is too humble. These days, my aunt has worked hard to arrange for my group. I don't have to worry about everything. I am very grateful to my aunt. If my aunt can help me, just ask."

"Okay, you're still sensible."

Both sides said a few words of courtesy, and then dispersed.

Mrs. Jun stood there watching Huo Xi's leaving back, her eyes flickering, and she whispered a few words: "Let people keep an eye on the Shiziyuan, if there is any movement, report it in time."

"Yes."

When Huo Xi returned to the courtyard, he also summoned Kun Si and the others from the dark place, and asked them if there was any movement outside the courtyard, "Don't relax, and surround the courtyard tightly. If there is any inquiry, just pretend not to know."

"Yes." Kun Si clasped his fists in response.

Huo Xi sat down and flipped through the registration list.

Mother Ma reminded with concern: "Miss, there are regulations in this court that military households are not allowed to engage in business and other means of making profits. If you let them do the work, will you violate the regulations?"

Huo Xi paused while looking through the roster.

She comes from a military family and is married to Mu Yan, so she knows some things about the military.

Some of the military households in this dynasty were inherited from the previous dynasty, and most of them were hereditary military households from conscription, attachment, relegation (criminals), duoji (forced recruitment of civilian households), and Jianba civilian households.

It is also stipulated in the military household that one member of the household should go to the guard to serve as a soldier, which is the flag army.The banner army is either guarded or planted; a household sends out more than one cadre to accompany the main army to the camp, assists the main army, and provides military uniforms; errand.

If a certain sergeant's family has all died, they will go to their original place to enlist the clan's top charge.

The status of military households is hereditary, and all children and grandchildren must serve as soldiers. Imperial examinations, business, and other means of making profits are not allowed.The imperial court allocated land to military households and required them to cultivate and pay taxes.

But on the one hand, they restricted their behavior, on the other hand, they defaulted on the army's noon, and the taxes were too heavy, which made the military households have no livelihood.

Like Granny Zhi, her man and two sons were killed in battle, leaving behind a six-year-old grandson who has to be a child, and she has to take care of two young children with one and a half labors, and has to farm to share with his family. I'm afraid it's hard to make money on the fields.

If the pensions of her family's man and two sons can fall into her hands, she should be able to live a tight life.

And not all the people who came today were military households.In order to prevent them from becoming military households, some of them were separated from another branch of their descendants, and came up as military dependents to speak.

These family members came with the army at the beginning, but now they have nothing to live in, and they can't go back to their hometown, so life is difficult.

"Nowadays the army is in arrears, and the family members have to do something else, and the guards will probably turn a blind eye. As long as they pay enough taxes, it will be fine. Except for the soldiers, women and children, and other family members, if they have spare energy, You can come out and earn a job."

Moreover, if the army defaulted on the payment, I am afraid that the morale of the army will not be stable. She is also helping to stabilize the morale of the frontier army, and she does not use soldiers, so there is no violation of the system.

"That's right, we don't need soldiers, just young and strong men. And if the matter is not resolved, our wife will be surrounded by people every day when we go out?"

Vanilla is all about her wife, as long as Huo Xi says or does anything, she thinks it is right and firmly supports it.

Ma Momo glared at her, and said to Huo Xi: "Girl, you still need to inform the prince about this matter. This place is complicated, and we have no one to rely on, and our hands are tied, unlike the convenience in the capital."

Huo Xi nodded, "Yeah. I'll write a letter in hand and tell someone to give it to him soon."

Turning around, he ordered someone to complete the information on the roster, the situation of each family, population structure, temperament, personnel exchanges, etc.

He also ordered people to recruit all the shopkeepers and managers of the Yunnan industry to come and answer.He also ordered Gansan to mobilize Mu Yan's staff who stayed in Yunnan.

After several days of careful planning with everyone, I finally had a detailed arrangement.

And in the past few days, all parts of the Guizhou government are paying attention to Huo Xi's every move.

All I know is that she goes in and out of the mansion frequently, and there are people coming and going in the courtyard. She doesn't know exactly who they are or what she wants to do.

Duan's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of Sanfang talked about Huo Xi with a smile on her lips, "I'm afraid the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Jun family will encounter a hard nail."

"Mother, what about us?" Che asked.

"The big house and the second house are fighting, what does it have to do with us?"

"The Dafang has to be crowned heir, we really don't need to help?" In the future, won't her children and grandchildren still have to look after the Dafang?

Duan paused for a moment, then sighed: "It's good that the Dafang can be crowned heir, but I'm afraid that he will return to Beijing after staying here for a long time. The Duke is in his prime of life, and I'm afraid that the heir will return to Dian to take care of him."

Before the Duke passed away, I was afraid that the land of Dian and the Duke's mansion would fall into the hands of Erfang.Unless their Sanfang also went to live in the capital, why would they do such thankless things?
"Then shall we do nothing?"

"It's impossible not to do anything." Duan Shi said, but she didn't point it out, Che Shi didn't understand.

The other two aunts of the second room, Mrs. Jin and Mrs. Bai, also just sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.They have no sons, but both have a daughter, and they all married into good families.Although they don't have a son by their side, no one in the house dares to show them face.

Mu Jing, who was born to the Jin family, has become King Zhao's second concubine, the royal daughter-in-law, and now even the Jun family wants to give her some color.As for the Bai family, the daughter married into the capital Wuding Hou Guo's mansion, and the son-in-law is expected to succeed the Marquis, and the Bai family's status in the mansion has also improved a lot.

Although the two of them don't need to look at Jun's face any more, they still have to continue living in Yunnan, and there is no need to touch Jun's bad luck.

Even when Huo Xi entered the mansion, he became a loner.

That night, Huo Xi's affairs went smoothly, and it was rare for him to have a good night's sleep.I was sleeping peacefully on the bed, when I suddenly felt someone approaching behind me, I immediately turned over and sat up: "Who!"
