From strict investigation to blocking the border, Huang Zongxi's previous reminder may have been officially in front of him, which made Chen Wen completely understand why the prefectures and counties in the occupied areas of the Qing army came to Zhejiang Ming army to apply for results, and the number of personnel who responded would be far lower than before.

Nowadays, the main income of the Zhejiang Ming Army-occupied areas is summer and autumn grain tax, land tax, corvee labor and miscellaneous collection. Among them, officials and local gentry at all levels have been working hard. In recent years, Sun Yu has been trying his best to attack the **, which makes the administration of the Zhejiang Ming Army-occupied areas far exceeding that of the Qing army-occupied areas, and even the late Ming Dynasty cannot be compared. These are all the gentry, businessmen and people in Jinquyan's four prefectures seen.

The improvement of local administration and the strong appeal of civilized clothing have led to the originally ruined Ming army-occupied areas being continuously restored. However, the implementation of the military merits and field division order has basically all added land in each county with tax exemption. The fiscal revenue cannot be improved, and they can only rely on continuous expansion to improve their own strength. There is no other way.

The blockade will inevitably lead to a significant reduction in the population inflow in the Ming army occupied areas, and the circulation of goods will inevitably be greatly affected. This is intolerable for Chen Wen, who has only four prefectures.

The way to break the deadlock is nothing more than trying to break the blockade. However, even if the army is sent to frequently raid, Hong Chengchou can continue the blockade at any cost. Not only will the gain be less than the loss, but it may cause too many unnecessary losses.

As for bribery, with the character of Hong Butcher, he could borrow the heads of those officials who accepted bribes to enhance his prestige and free up space for his Nanchang shogunate officials, which was something Chen Wensuo was even more reluctant to see. Because the former Hong Changsha shogunate caused great harm to the Daxi Army and the Southwest Anti-Qing Rebel Army - recruiting surrenders and rebels, dividing the will of the scholars and people to resist the Qing Dynasty, restoring local people's livelihood to support the army, destroying small-scale anti-Qing forces, and resisting the counterattack of the Southwest Ming Army. These are always remembered by him, and the losses in personnel and materials are far stronger than the space for the Nanchang shogunate to exert greater strength!

The next day was the day of returning to the Ning Dynasty. Chen Wen took Zhou Yueying back to the Zhou family step by step, and returned to the Hou's Mansion in the afternoon at dusk. The first month of the newlyweds was not allowed to be vacant. No one felt anything abnormal from top to bottom. Even in the evening, after Chen Wen returned to the Hou's Mansion, anyone was surprised when he recruited Zhang Jun into the inner courtyard. Zhang Jun was Chen Wen's first personal captain. According to the usual view of this era, he could be regarded as the head of the Chen family. It is normal for Zhang Jun to come to see the new wife here.

However, the next day, Zhang Jun temporarily ended the courses in the martial arts lecture school and disappeared among the busy crowds in the vibrant Jinhua Mansion.

……………………

When Gui Ning came back, Chen Wen's marriage leave was over. He was not in a state of war, but he had a lot of work at hand. Compared with those seniors who pretended to be a slut and took a girl every day to reverse the future, Chen Wen found that he was not a time traveler. The only thing that is thankful is that after the time of the paycheck and returned to the inner courtyard, there was finally a close person who was caring about his well-being and considerate, which was much better than when he was a bachelor before.

Chen Wen, the general officer of the military affairs and aid suppression of three provinces in Zhejiang, Nanzhili, and Jiangxi Provinces, was not as good as a general in the first bureau of Nantangying, but Shi Daniu, the captain of the fourth Yuanyang Formation Killer Team, who had just been appointed for a while, had the pleasure of a small person.

After the war, the special leave for the land split, and the marriage leave for the marriage for marrying the wife, Shi Daniu can stay at home for more than a month this summer.

In the past month, except for dividing the land and handling the matter of marrying a wife, Shi Daniu was not idle either. Even though he had just gotten married, it was my mother who was eager to spend the easy vacation to spend more time with her new wife so that she could get her grandson as soon as possible, so he was not idle either. When he woke up early in the morning, Shi Daniu followed her father to work in the field outside the village.

This time, Nantangying first shared the contribution of annihilation of the Zhejiang-Fu Governor Biao Battalion with the other three battalions and recovering Jiangshan County. Then, the four provincial capitals rushed to more than 100 miles overnight. In one battle, it defeated the Eight Banners of the Han Army and captured a large number of officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Army, including Shi Tingzhu.

He alone divided a hundred acres of land. Although some of them were not paddy fields, but mulberry fields, and other fields except these mulberry fields were in Quzhou, the extreme poverty when he came out of his hometown no longer existed. Now their Shi family is a well-known little landlord in the village. Otherwise, how could the Han family, who had a son in the civil service training class, be willing to marry his precious daughter to Qiu Ba.

If you work hard, a man would be good at serving five acres of land. He divided the land several times, not to mention the tenants in the village, even the self-cultivated farmers who had little land at home also had his and another fellow comrade's family. In addition, the land of the gentry and wealthy families was also recruiting tenants, so even the tenants could not be found this time.

There is no need to pay land taxes for military merit, and there is no tax or labor service in the military households, but the land is deserted, so I felt sorry for the fact that Shi Daniu, a strong laborer, planted the mulberry trees while he was at home. The remaining things were done by the few female family members in the family.

As for why there were so many mulberry fields this time, it is said that the soldiers were the same for officers who had over-distributed paddy fields. In the future, when there were cocoons, the silk was also purchased by the garrison and not sold to vendors without permission.

"Bah, that fake Tartar is also worthy of his surname Shi?"

I woke up early in the morning and went out to work without eating. Fortunately, after an hour, my wife and the youngest sister brought food and water. My mother asked deliberately, but my father was indifferent. My sister was obviously tired of hearing it. My wife, who had just passed the door, looked curious, obviously she had never heard of this strange thing.

"First-class Jingqinihafan, Han army inlaid with red flags, Gushan's Ezhen Stone Pillar, said that if it was translated according to the ancient title, it should be a viscount. Our Ming Dynasty did not have a viscount, but it seemed to be a little lower than the earl."

He had never attended the martial arts lecture school, and Shi Daniu didn't know what level of official this first-class Jingqinihafan Han army was, but the military supervisor said that he had made great contributions to arresting this fake Tartar with the same surname as him. Not to mention the last time Ma Jinbao and Zhang Guoxun, even Chen Jin could not compare with him.

"My son is Yingwu, a lord of the Tartar..."

They were all the meat that fell from her body. Although Daniu and Erniu were far less favored than their younger son, her son had no children, and she did not want to see it. Daniu was willing to give his younger brother a child, but his daughter-in-law did not disagree. The family calmed down the matter in a harmonious manner and thought that a big thing was in her heart. Moreover, adopted children must inherit Shi Erniu's military fields and pension fields. This is the land of the old Shi family. It is impossible for those officers to inherit the seeds of other people's families brought out from the nanny's nanny.

After sighing for a while, I was thinking about going back to do something to replenish my son and daughter-in-law, and to get my grandson early. At this moment, the comrade-in-law who was separated in the same village came over.

"Brother Daniu, the Marquis' Mansion has ordered that the solution to divide the land into two places has been reached. I just came back from the town. Jinbaihu asked our brothers in the town to go to Baihu to listen to it tomorrow."

"Brother Cheng, do you know what the above said?"

After patting the plaster on his body and hands, the stone big bull hurriedly ran up the ridge of the field. He knew that the deputy captain of the firearms team surnamed Cheng and the Baihu in the town of Baihu in the town were old acquaintances from his hometown, and many things that were reported by the garrison were far earlier than others.

There are many villagers from the village in the surrounding fields, but this is their military household matter. The deputy captain named Cheng lowered his voice and said to Shi Daniu: "It is strictly forbidden to sell it. Even if it is a field, it is not enough. If you find it, all the land is confiscated immediately. In addition, it will be severely punished. I didn't listen to the specific details too carefully, it's not easy anyway."

Shi Daniu never thought that when he was in his hometown, he made a living by farming. Now that he has so much land, he naturally has to keep the land and pass it on to his descendants, so that fools can sell it.

"No selling, what about the others?"

"It is not allowed to be replaced. It is not possible to go privately to the public. If you dare to change, both sides will confiscate it. Jinbaihu said that he could be given to the local garrison office and deduct some labor costs for each harvest, and register with Qianhuhu office."

Even if the land is in the same place, it can be divided into fertile and barren. The replacement can easily cause unnecessary trouble, especially when the officers and soldiers are replaced, it is more likely to cause oppression and conflict, which is not conducive to the atmosphere in the army. In fact, when dividing the land, the responsible officers will have some preference for officers with deeper qualifications and higher ranks, but if the replacement is allowed later, the soldiers will definitely be exploited by the officers, resulting in a decrease in combat effectiveness.

"Why do you have to pay the money?"

The Shi family, who had already listened with their ears, heard that there would be a fee for collection on behalf of others, so Shi Daniu's mother stood up immediately.

"Aunt, I asked Jinbaihu this way. Jinbaihu said that if I asked other wards to help, I always gave them some money to hire teachers and ox carts, and they also had to bear the losses on the road. I only let others work hard and pay money, and not give them any compensation for the long-term."

It takes money to hire people, and there is no reason for tenants to do it in vain. Shi Daniu’s mother still understands this. “The reason is this, but they are all robes in the army. I heard that the fire and consumption of the households are all subject to public accounts. None of our military households have men who work hard for the marquis. Why are they not as good as those of the households?”

As soon as he said that, Shi Daniu's mother also felt that it seemed a bit inappropriate. In the past two hundred years, the tax rate paid by military households to the garrison stations was higher than that of civilian households, and there were also various labor and military tasks. When encountering some unscrupulous garrison officers and officials and gentry who occupied the land for a large number of people, they would really not be able to survive.

The Ming army in Zhejiang Province, the military rent land distributed to those prepared to replenish troops was just like the land tax of the civilian households. The land and soil of their families were basically military merit and pension fields. There was no pressure on land tax, and the military households did not have corvee or miscellaneous collections. The officers of the garrison had no right to exploit them. Even those labor labor that were exhausted were allowed to be done by prisoners. These were all good days brought by Chen Wen. After hearing what he said just now, people could point at the back and scold the people of the Shi family for being heartless.

"Mom, our family doesn't have to pay taxes, it's no different from those gentry masters."

"Da Niu is right, he is always talking nonsense, and he makes the Cheng family laugh at me."

"Auntie is too humble, and I don't understand it when I come up. It was only after Jin Baihu told me that I understood it. It would be different if Brother Daniu followed the Marquis on Dalan Mountain!"

The deputy captain named Cheng raised his thumb, and Shi Daniu's face turned red immediately, and he even said some humble words that he dared not take. However, the specific situation was not very good, and there was nothing that the Shi family could accept, but not everyone was willing to do so, and it quickly exceeded expectations.
