In late August, after more than ten days of fermentation, the matter began to reach Chen Wen's ears, even if it was just a whisper.

The method of collecting the goods was inspired by the Shi Hou's large rent in the Qing Dynasty. However, at that time, the Taiwanese government only collected rent for Shi Lang's family. The Ming army in Zhejiang grew stronger and more and more people needed to collect. From landlords to tenants, the personnel involved were also increasing in a large number of people, materials and time to complete properly. Therefore, appropriate charging of labor costs can also prevent them from becoming another financial hole.

However, with Sun Yu's supervision of civil servants and officials in various counties, especially in the first half of the year, the fire consumption of officials began to be strictly carried out in the four governments in Jinqu. The civil servants were able to receive such treatment, which made some military households unbalanced.

This imbalance was originally impossible. In the Ming Dynasty, the status of military households was far lower than that of civilian households, but it was higher than that of craftsmen. However, in order to enhance the combat effectiveness of the army, Chen Wen always cultivated the sense of honor of soldiers. In addition, the repeated victory of the Ming army in Zhejiang, as well as the duty-free policy of military merit and land, and the political and economic status of military households was improved. In particular, military households with military merit and land at home, the general awareness of superiority appeared, which made them more sensitive to policies.

"A chain reaction."

The green fingers pressed on the head, closed their eyes, and the originally tense nerves gradually began to relax.

"I didn't expect that my wife would have such a trick. It would be a big profit to marry you home."

"I learned from my aunt, and I was clumsy. I didn't press the right place just now. Fortunately, my husband smeared honey on his mouth, so he would say it was nice to coax me." As he said that, Zhou Yueying smiled sweetly and asked, "Are you still worried about that matter?"

There were only two people in the study. Chen Wengang planned to tease her, but after hearing this question, he couldn't help but frown. "Yes, there is nothing trivial in the army."

The Ming army of Zhejiang was developed in the cracks, relying on the national consciousness of defense between the barbarians and the system of giving fields to teach them military merits. As a result, the general's morale was won repeatedly, and the general's morale was even more and more. Compared with the high fighting will and tactics, the formation was just icing on the cake, but this is true, the morale of the military is more and more necessary to be cultivated and cared for, especially when giving fields to teach them military merits.

Since the soldiers of the Ming army in Zhejiang were camping all year round, going to war for more days and staying at home, renting tenants is inevitable. There are even rich and gentry among the people who have been dissatisfied with the tenants' sublease of military merit. Chen Wen had no time to pay attention to this matter. Whose land rented is the right of the tenants, and then it is necessary to punish them. If you have the ability to lower the tenants' rent, leave more food for the tenants, and you will have nothing to do to return the tenants to their owners to play?

Relatively speaking, the military field is the top priority. There is only so much land, and selling and switching is a huge evil law, which must be strictly prohibited, so the rest is collected. Of course, it is also a way for men to live in the family to separate their families, but now the officers and soldiers are still young, and the older children are only in their teens. Most of them have no children yet, and they don’t have the basis to divide them.

"I have a question, I don't know whether to talk about it."

With a trembling voice, this soft whispered into Chen Wen's ears, causing him to open his eyes at once.

If it were the concept of this era, the hen was a big taboo, and women were not allowed to participate in political affairs. However, Chen Wen was not educated by Confucianism. The reason why women instilled in nine years of compulsory education was always affecting him, so he didn't dare to be late for a date...

"This is the family, husband and wife are one. Do you want to hide it from your husband?" He put his hands in his palms and gently pulled them. The woman behind him sat softly on her legs. She could only look at the door nervously after sitting down, as if she was afraid that someone would suddenly come in.

"I dare not." After retracting my gaze towards the door, Zhou Yueying asked Chen Wen with a little confusion: "I just don't understand very well. The government and the army have to purchase grain in previous years to prepare for the needs of the army. Why do we have to use the grain merchants to collect it directly from the military households? Wouldn't it cost less?"

The harvest of grain sounded like nothing to do with the above things, but as soon as I thought about it, Chen Wen immediately understood.

When he first arrived in Jinhua, the land was divided into too little, which was not enough to form a scale, and the grain collection channels were also in the hands of grain merchants. In addition, in order to stimulate merchants to trade goods, Chen Wen would share some of the benefits to grain merchants. However, in this way, the expenses would inevitably be more, making it impossible for limited money to obtain more materials.

When renting, even if the grain produced is transported to the landlord, the landlord cannot digest it. He will inevitably sell it to the grain merchant in exchange for other daily necessities. He charges fees to transport grain for military households. Chen Wen originally planned to cultivate a larger fleet and caravan, but according to the current development, it is obviously more harmful than good. If the military households do not accept the affection, they will easily feel resentful.

As for the grain merchants, this is an excellent thing for them. The Ming army could not bear all the transportation by themselves. They must rely on their ships. The grain would eventually be purchased by them. It can even be said that for every extra acre of land they would make a profit. However, for Chen Wen, these grain merchants could at most make the circulation of materials smoother, but it was impossible to obtain more surplus value from the grain by improving their technical level, and they would not have this. The grain they handled was either sold to the government or to the people of the town, and they just raised a group of pure merchants for nothing.

"It's true that this can't continue."

The purchase of grain was done by the government, and Sun Yu was dissatisfied with this, but Chen Wen had previously regained the local people's livelihood in Quzhou by tax exemption and attracting business travel, which made him and other officials who had opinions gave up their advice. At least in their opinion, Chen Wen had experience and ability in how business can promote people's livelihood. On the contrary, Zhou Yueying, a woman, saw it more clearly from the perspective of the bystander.

Nowadays, the Ming army in Zhejiang Province has many places in Jinquyan, especially Jinhua and Quzhou. The officers and soldiers fought for many years and their subordinates could not handle too much. Most of the military merits and land were used for tenancy, and the output was basically cheaper than grain merchants. On the contrary, the government had to spend more money.

Times change and the world is easy, but it is not necessarily suitable for what was originally in the present, it is just...

"I'm afraid that the orders will change every day."

For Zhou Yueying, Chen Wen is her husband, her man, and her lifelong support, so she naturally hopes to help Chen Wen. At the same time, she was even more hungry about whether Chen Wen had all kinds of strange theories. After getting Chen Wen's recognition this time, she was afraid that Chen Wen would be unhappy and was wiped out. But when she heard the last sentence, Zhou Yueying quickly stood up and apologized to Chen Wen.

"I've made a mistake."

Pulling it back into his arms, Chen Wen gently kissed it on his cherry lips. A guy who has the ability to play with outsiders and can only show his mightyness with women will be so far. He is not the kind of waste who will feel that his wife is in a slump when she says something.

"You are right. If you have any ideas in the future, just tell me about it."

"Yes, I'm listening to my husband."

There was no contempt or dissatisfaction. A honey-like feeling came out of her heart, making her lean on Chen Wen's shoulders naturally and enjoy the sweet feeling. However, after a moment, Chen Wen's hands began to become irregular.

"Husband, don't..."

Seeing that Chen Wen did not stop, Zhou Yueying immediately struggled and then stood up angrily.

"Husband, this is the study!"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

With a smirk in front of him, Zhou Yueying immediately lost her temper and could only say softly: "The study room is a place for reading, writing, weighing official duties, and doing serious things. If it is at night, I will definitely please me in the room, but it is not possible here."

A good wife is completely different from a concubine, a maid, or a maid. In ancient China, although she was married to her husband, she could also take charge of this half of the house for her husband. Some inappropriate actions would be considered as despicable. She could do anything to a concubine, a maid, or something, but it was not suitable for a good wife.

"Okay, then come here to press your head for your husband. It was so comfortable just now. It would be great if you had such treatment every day in the future."

"My husband is joking. As long as I am at home, I will definitely serve you well."

Close his eyes and Chen Wen's spirit, who was admonishing, relaxed again. It was not until a long time later that he felt that the pressure on his head began to decrease. He was obviously unable to do so. Chen Wen quickly held Zhou Yueying's hands in his arms. However, the little woman did not sit on his legs as softly as before, but pouted her mouth and moved a small round stool from beside her, and reached out her hand in a big shape.

"It's almost time for dinner, I don't want my servants to see my husband like this."

The girl's heart was still there. She held the tender thighs in her hands and gently kissed the two clusters of tender green onions.

"Thank you for your hard work, my wife."

Just a thank you, Zhou Yueying suddenly felt the fatigue of standing for a long time and even her fingers that were already a little overwhelmed seemed to have recovered a little of her strength in an instant. "My husband is a great hero, and I have a lot of big things to do. I am a woman, so I can't help much."

"No, you have done a good job. The advice just now made me figure out something. I have already made up this matter!"

As he said that, Chen Wen couldn't help but smile with confidence, and Zhou Yueying's pretty face turned red and became fascinated by it. However, behind this confidence, there was a thought that he didn't dare to put it into words always lingered in his heart.

"In a few years, what will be born will be Guanlong, Junke, or something else..." To be continued.
