Second Sister Nongmen has space

Chapter 40 Pros and Cons

Now the Zhenbei Army needs to repair the side wall outpost, and the household department is stuck with money and cannot distribute it.

And seeing that winter is coming, the sergeant needs to buy winter clothes.

The food and pay of the Zhenbei Army is tight!

Zhao Tingduo couldn't sit still, and paced back and forth in Luo Baihu's study, thinking carefully.

I was only 14 years old when the "Broken Gold Tragedy" happened that year, and I didn't go back to Xiashiguan when the tribe moved in winter, so I didn't know what happened that day.

But since then, I have been reminded by my father and brother not to show up in the territory of Wu Dynasty casually, so I seldom go back to Zhenbei Mansion.

Now that there are constant disputes in the court, although father and brother still have power in their hands, they are obviously not as good as before.

The eldest brother has even made his mind on the alluvial gold in Suijin Town.

They sent people here to build camps, one to guard the throat leading to the Mida River, and the other to find some gold dust to subsidize the army.

It's a pity that Luo Baihu and the others have traveled all over the surrounding mountains and rivers here for half a year, but they haven't found any gold mines.

Military households!

Zhao Tingduo's heart skipped a beat.

Although he does not serve in the army, he also knows that military households in the Wu Dynasty can directly supply the army with food and grass.

Most of the military households on the border of the Wu Dynasty were sinners exiled by the imperial court. These people traveled thousands of miles. After being tortured, they were weak and had no experience in farming. They could support themselves well.

Moreover, criminal military households are sent by the Ministry of Households and officials, and even if there is a harvest, the local government is in charge.

If the Zhenbei Army can have a large number of military households specializing in growing food, why worry about food and grass.

It's a pity that the father-marshal and his two elder brothers hold important positions and are stared at by the court's civil and military officials. Every move will implicate the prince's cousin and the queen's aunt in the palace.

I have a special status and it is inconvenient to travel to the Wu Dynasty to relieve my father's worries. All I can do is to let the tribe provide cattle and sheep on time to improve the food in the army, which cannot solve the most basic problems.

In the study, the third son Zhao Tingduo was worried.

In the main hall of the barracks, Luo Baihu saw the three brothers and sister Song Liyun.

"Is it that you want to join the army?"

Luo Baihu stared at Song Zhenping sharply, trying to find clues about his "bad brain" or "other intentions" from this frail young man's face.

The invisible murderous aura belonging to the soldiers immediately made Song Zhenping tremble, and said in a trembling voice, "Yes, it's the grassroots."

Song Liyun taught him the word self-proclaimed Caomin, and he almost forgot it with a shudder just now.

Seeing Song Zhenping being so cowardly, Luo Baihu suddenly lost interest and almost wanted to drive out immediately.

Just not wanting to go back to the study to look at the account books, Luo Baihu could only be patient, and said in a deep and stern voice: "Why do you want to join the military household? After joining the military household, you will be a member of the army. In case of war, every household must conscript soldiers and rations. The military order is like a mountain, and there is no reason to refuse it."

Song Zhenping was forced to cry by him, the words he had thought up disappeared in an instant, and he lost his mind: "We have no house, no land, and no home. We just want to live! We became military households. You can't watch We're starving!"

"Uh!"

Luo Baihu was dumbfounded.

Looking at Song Zhenping's tattered clothes, he knew that his family background was poor. He came to serve corvee and eat for a few days, so he wanted to rely on the military camp instead of leaving.

I am so worried that I will die, how can I have enough food to feed the idlers.

The little soldier who led Song Zhenping and his sister in was also dumbfounded.

Seeing that Master Baihu's face turned dark, he also had good eyesight, and hurriedly pushed Song Zhenping away: "You have a good idea, military households have to pay food every year, and you, a refugee, still want to eat for nothing."

Song Zhenping was so anxious that his mouth was knotted: "We are not refugees, we will be able to farm in the future...pay, pay for military rations."

Song Liyun took Xiao'an's hand, bowed to Luo Baihu, took out a household book and handed it over, "Master Baihu, we have a household registration.

It was just because the land and house of the family were occupied by the step-mother and uncle with filial piety, and the three of us, brothers and sisters, were enslaved.

Knowing that he will not be able to escape the oppression, he voluntarily changed his nationality to join the military household, just wanting to have a stable place to live.

We brothers and sisters are neither lazy nor greedy. Even if we are not in good health and cannot join the army, the military rations will not be less every year, and we will definitely do our little bit to stabilize the border. "

Song Liyun spoke in a calm voice, explaining his situation clearly in a few words.

Luo Baihu took them all the way here, so he had naturally met the three brothers and sisters Song Liyun.

Listening to Song Liyun's simple explanation of his life experience, and looking at the two skinny brothers, Luo Baihu also thought about it seriously.

The brothers and sisters of the Song family are private households with household registration certificates, and their backgrounds are clean. They are neither refugees nor foreign bandits, and they are trustworthy.

Suijin Town has fewer people and more land, and the conditions are better than the places of exile. It is also a good place to garrison troops, but there are no military households yet.

If they can keep a few families of their own, the brothers in the guard can also get some benefits in daily logistics.

Thinking of this, Luo Baihu said: "Since you are willing to join the military households, I will take the decision.

According to the rules, military households have to divide their houses and land. One house has ten acres of land.

Suijin Town is now all owned by my guard, and the house and land can be chosen at will, as long as you have reported for the camp guard registration.

In addition, military households do not have to perform corvee.

From now on, there is no need to move stones. If there is no food, you can go to the peasants for a while to eat, or come to the camp to borrow food, and return it when the army rations are delivered in the autumn harvest. "

The house, the land... Song Zhenping opened his mouth and was speechless.

He was stunned by this long list of benefits!
Just by agreeing to join the military household, I don't have to serve corvee, and I get ten acres of land for free, and I can choose a house at will.

Song Liyun was also a little surprised. She thought she could only get a piece of land, but she didn't expect this bearded officer to be so generous that he even gave away a house.

Luo Baihu is worthy of being a soldier, and he acts vigorously and resolutely. Song Zhenping's household registration has just been accepted here.

Over there, the clerk was arranged to take the household registration copy to the Qili County Government to transfer the registration and become a military household.

He also called for Xiaoqi to take Song Zhenping and his three brothers and sisters to choose a house and land so that they could settle down early.

Coincidentally, this Xiaoqi knew Song Liyun and Song Zhenping, and it was Xiaoqi Xue Zhuang who agreed to let the brother and sister get on the bus on the road from Qingping Town to the county seat.

Xue Xiaoqi has been in the construction site of the guard since he was sent back to the civilian husband, and he has no time to wander around.

Seeing that Song Liyun, whom he had half-heartedly accepted, was actually in Suijin Town, he immediately became happy.

Especially when I heard that the brothers and sisters of the Song family had entered the military household, I felt even more cordial. This familiarity was stickier than Song Dekui.

Introducing the good houses and fertile fields in Suijin Town to the brothers and sisters is extraordinarily considerate.

If someone saw him, he would think he was picking a home for himself.

It's just that Song Zhenping has always been protective of his younger brother since he was a child, so now he naturally has a second younger sister.

The more intimacy Xue Zhuang showed, the more vigilant he was.

Without saying anything, he pulled Song Liyun to walk behind him.

Luo Baihu has accomplished something good for the army, and he is confident enough to even go back to his study.

As soon as he entered the door, he happily turned around the Linglong gate and confessed his achievements to the third son Zhao Tingduo.

At this time, Zhao Tingduo had returned to calm, and only heard that the brother and sister really wanted to transfer their civil status to military status, so they slightly raised their eyebrows and said: "Can you tell people clearly that you will pay for military rations in the future?"
