Go back to the Ming Dynasty to be a thousand households

Chapter 223 Beheading Reform
On September 21, the 1593st year of Wanli, September 9, 25 AD, Huang Laifu led the army back to Wuzhai Fort.

When Huang Laifu led thousands of soldiers back to Wuzhai Fort, the whole Wuzhai Fort was boiling. Everyone beat gongs and drums and lined the road to welcome the triumphant soldiers.After returning, they threw a big banquet and gave the soldiers a holiday, which was lively for several days.In fact, when Huang Laifu came back from North Korea, when he passed by the capital, Emperor Wanli called him to see him again, but what the two said in private is unknown to others.

This time Huang Laifu led the army to go out to fight, and it took another ten months.He sent troops last winter, and when he returned to Wuzhaibao, the autumnal equinox had already passed, not to mention Wuzhaibao and other places had already finished the autumn harvest, and Qu Xiuhe, the concubine he took in last year, had already done it for him again. He gave birth to a big fat son, Huang Laifu happily named Huang Wulang.

For several days in a row, Huang Laifu held a large banquet in Wuzhai Fort, counted military achievements, and sorted out related pension and reward matters.During the Korean War, the imperial court rewarded relevant people, and Huang Laifu was no exception.However, the relevant rewards may not come down until next year.

The military achievements of the Korean War will not be counted for a while, but the military department of the Ningxia Battle last year has been sorted out. It is reported that Mr. Huang Laifu will be promoted to the commander-in-chief of Shanxi Town. The speed of this promotion is naturally It makes people extremely jealous.

But jealousy is jealousy, Huang Laifu is going to be promoted, and he is still in the prominent position of commander in chief, which makes him return to Wuzhai Fort these days, and there has been an endless stream of people visiting from all sides.

September 21th, the [-]st year of Wanli.

After a few days of busy affairs after the war, Huang Laifu turned his attention back to the internal affairs of the fort.On the morning of the [-]th, accompanied by everyone from Wuzhaibao, Huang Laifu inspected the several castles he managed.

The autumn harvests in various places have already been completed, and the farms in various places are idle.However, the workshops and livestock farms in various places have ushered in a flood of people.After several years of development, every time the farming season came, military households and peasant households in Junbao in nearby counties would come to Wuzhaibao to do a part-time job, and then go back during the Chinese New Year, forming a wave of migrant workers.

The workshops are prosperous, and the farms are rich and happy.In the pastures and livestock farms in various places, flocks of sheep can be seen everywhere, pigs and chickens make lively noises from time to time, all of which make Huang Laifu satisfied, everything in front of him is the crystallization of his brainchild.

Especially no matter where Huang Laifu went, the sincere and reverent gazes of the Wuzhaibao military households all around made him feel that his trip to Ming Dynasty was not in vain.No matter what the future says, I have at least changed the fate of Wuzhaibao.

What to do next, Huang Laifu needs to plan carefully.The 21st year of Wanli was actually an eventful year. So far, apart from the Korean War, this year, the chief assistant of the cabinet was replaced by Wang Xijue from Zhao Zhigao.In the first lunar month, because of the proposal of Emperor Wanli to conjoin the three princes, the courtiers also made a fuss.

In addition, there were miners' riots in Henan, the governor of Yunnan Youqian capital censor Chen Yongbin built the eight cities of Tengchong, Xu Wei's death, Wang Daokun's death, Li Shizhen's death and other major events.At the end of August, Chen Yu, Minister of the Ministry of Rites of Zhan Shifu, asked Emperor Wanli to revise the official history of the dynasty, and Emperor Wanli issued an edict to revise the history of the country.Later, it was decided that university scholars Wang Xijue and Zhang Wei would be the chief executives, Chen Yubi and Luo Wanhua would be the vice presidents, and Yu Jideng, the right concubine, should be the editors to compile the history of the country together.

However, Huang Laifu knew that two of the three major Wanli campaigns had already been carried out, and they would stop a little in the next few years. The above matters had nothing to do with Huang Laifu for the time being.Now Huang Laifu has turned his eyes inward, intending to concentrate on managing his own territory and better plan his own strategic conception.

At noon, Huang Laifu returned to the Wuzhaibao mansion, intending to take a good rest.

Back in the mansion, he took a nap for a while, when he got up, Gu Yunniang personally helped him to dress, and a few beautiful little maids brought the washing water, Gu Yunniang tried the temperature of the water again, and helped Huang Laifu wash his face.

Huang Laifu watched her busy, and after washing his face, he smiled and said: "My Yunniang is really virtuous, come, let my husband kiss you."

He hugged Gu Yunniang, hugged her, and kissed her.

Gu Yunniang glanced at Huang Laifu with watery eyes, and said angrily, "I hate it, someone is watching!"

Huang Laifu smiled and said: "Husband and wife are affectionate, it's fair and honest, what are the servants afraid of watching!"

He glanced at the shy maidservants standing next to him, then slid his big hands on Gu Yunniang's buttocks, and praised: "It still feels so good!"

"In broad daylight, always like this..."

Gu Yunniang blushed, put her jade hand on Huang Laifu's, and said coquettishly: "Sir, you are really necrotic."

Seeing Gu Yunniang's charming look, Huang Laifu was even more moved, and said, "Hehe, then the husband will be even worse."

Speaking of which, Huang Laifu hugged Gu Yunniang even tighter...

Gu Yunniang realized that she also liked Huang Laifu very much, she was a little bit excited, she glanced sideways at the little maids beside her, and said in a trembling voice: "Sir, don't..."

Those little maids understood, blushed and retreated away, and gently closed the door...

※※※

Huang Laifu came to the hall refreshed, and Gu Yunniang followed him, with a seductive blush on his face.

In the hall, members of the Huang family, Huang Sihao, Yang Shi, several sisters, Gu Qianhu, Song Shi and others were all sitting in the hall and chatting.After Huang Laifu greeted them, he sat down and drank tea.

Gu Yunniang, on the other hand, sat obediently beside Yang Shi, tapping on her bones.With the improvement of Huang Laifu's status, and everyone knew that Huang Laifu was filial, the status of Huang Sihao and the Yang family in the mansion naturally increased.

Gu Yunniang's mother, Song Shi, did not know how many times she had talked to Gu Yunniang about this, saying that if her daughter wanted to maintain her status as a big wife in the mansion, she would naturally have to know how to please her husband, Huang Laifu, and to please Huang Laifu, Huang Sihao and Yang's The essential.Gu Yunniang listened to her mother's words and did a good job.In addition, she is Huang Laifu's official wife and has a son Huang Dalang, so her position in the mansion is as stable as Mount Tai.

Yang Shi glanced at Huang Laifu and Gu Yunniang with a smile. Naturally, she knew their appearance.He lightly scolded Huang Laifu, "I'm such an adult, I don't know how to cherish my body." Then I continued the conversation with everyone.Only Liu Yumei, Qu Xiuhe and other daughters who were sitting on the side looked at Gu Yunniang enviously.

At this time, everyone was talking about the development of the land outside the Great Wall. After Huang Laifu came back this time, after counting his achievements, he beheaded more than 40 Japanese soldiers. According to the usual practice, basically every soldier who went to war will be rewarded with a head of 10 taels. silver.A total of more than [-] taels of silver is required to reward silver.

But at this time, Huang Laifu had a different opinion. He wanted to implement the Land Law Beyond the Great Wall first among the meritorious soldiers.Behead one level in exchange for 400 mu of fertile land in Hetao.After the news came out, both the soldiers of Wuzhai Fort and many military households in Wuzhai Fort were very interested.

The Chinese people's concept of land is deeply rooted, especially in ancient times, it is common to buy land and houses after having money, and pass it on to later generations.Although the garrisoners of many farms and the soldiers of Wuzhaibao are now living a stable and prosperous life under the management of Huang Laifu, but having their own fertile land allows their descendants to have their own inherited family business. Many people are heartbroken.

Huang Laifu asked Gu Shibao to make preliminary statistics, and at least half of the soldiers were willing to implement this method.One must know that [-] mu of land is a huge fortune in the mainland of Ming Dynasty.

After implementing this method, it is also very beneficial to Huang Laifu. First of all, Huang Laifu can be exempted from the huge reward of beheading.Furthermore, after these Wuzhaibao soldiers retire, they can also consolidate that piece of land when they go to Saibei in the future.It is very beneficial to Huang Laifu's future business layout.

In addition to this point, Huang Laifu also plans to develop a provident fund system for future generations.For those hard-working soldiers who don’t want to ask for land outside the Great Wall, the beheading will reward 40 taels of silver at the first level, but now only 40 taels of 5 silver will be issued first, and the remaining 35 taels of silver will be deposited in the provident fund. After the soldiers retire after five years, they will be paid. Send it together.

Except for special circumstances such as soldiers being disabled or killed in battle, which can be issued together at the time, the rest are issued together after a few years.This can prevent the soldiers from thinking that if they are small and safe, they will kill the enemy fiercely in order to get money smoothly in the future and let their families live a good life.After a few years, they have a certain amount of wealth, so they can retire if they want to.

In the former, Huang Laifu is full of confidence, but in the latter, Huang Laifu is worried that he will give the impression that the soldiers are changing from day to day. After all, his own regulations at the time were to hand out the rewards in one go.So at this point, he is still investigating the thoughts of the soldiers.During these days, according to Huang Laifu's order, the military officers sent a questionnaire to each soldier in Wuzhai Fort and Laoying Fort to see what they think.

It is precisely because of this that he has not distributed the beheading rewards for killing the enemy during the Korean War. In the past, they were distributed immediately after moving back to Wuzhaibao.

Not to mention Huang Laifu's reform idea, the entire Wuzhai Fort is full of discussions, even in the Huang Mansion, Huang Sihao, Yang and others have been discussing this issue.

After Huang Laifu traveled through Huang Sihao and Yang Shi, their life in the past few years also experienced the psychological changes brought about by the constant change of Huang Laifu's status.Now the two elders have no other ideas, that is, the Huang family will rely on the eldest son Huang Laifu for everything in the future.

Regarding Huang Laifu's layout outside the Great Wall, the two elders naturally couldn't understand, no matter what Huang Laifu did, they just supported it.However, other members of the Huang family, such as the older sisters and the family members of the father-in-law and mother-in-law, naturally have their own ideas.

Everything in Wuzhai Fort now belongs to Huang Laifu, the land, farms, workshops and mines, etc. are actually owned by Huang Laifu privately. This place of Wuzhai Fort is tantamount to Huang Laifu's fief.The elder sisters, with their father-in-law and mother-in-law, although they can benefit from Huang Laifu from time to time, they also know that this is not a long-term solution.

Therefore, as soon as Huang Laifu's idea of ​​managing the Great Wall came out, everyone had their own ideas.

The husbands of Huang Laifu's sisters, although they are all hereditary officers of the Ming Dynasty and have their own land, over the years, they have also encroached on the fields of many small soldiers.However, the land in Shanxi Town is barren. Even if there is more land like this, what are the benefits?They don't have Huang Laifu's financial resources to operate like Wuzhai Fort.

Gu Qianhu is old and has nothing to look forward to, but he has a few sons, and he also wants to find some fertile land for his sons, so that their children and grandchildren can live a good life in the future.Therefore, during these times, he also listened to his son-in-law from time to time, and the Song family also kept asking Gu Yunniang to whisper in Huang Laifu's ears.

There are also Liu Yumei, Qu Xiuhe... and the old military officers of Wuzhaibao. Over the years, some interest groups have gradually formed behind them, but these are what Huang Laifu is happy to see.Being generous to others is what Huang Laifu likes to do. Anyway, the land is not his own, and the more others have this kind of heart, the better.

And it is also Wuzhaibao, because of Huang Laifu's inspiration, everyone realized the benefits of going beyond the Great Wall, and when they were placed in other places in Ming Dynasty, they thought that the outside of the Great Wall was a barren land.

Everyone had all kinds of thoughts, and after Huang Laifu came out, the discussion about the business outside the Great Wall became more heated.Eldest sister Huang Zirou even murmured, asking Huang Laifu to find a land with abundant water and grass for her in Hetao, not too much, just a few thousand mu of land would do. Over the years, she has also saved some money.Hearing this, Huang Laifu couldn't help but be speechless, his sister has such a big appetite.
