The Reborn Wife is Farming

"This year, it seems that only a quarter of the food and grass that should have been paid to our army by the central government has been paid. When will the rest be paid? This year's local military pay is less than last year, but our army has expanded from the third battalion to the The Fourth Battalion, and, in this battle to defend the city, many soldiers died on the battlefield, the court will always give this pension, right?"

Cold sweat rolled down the angel's forehead, and he said after a while: "General, here, the treasury is empty..."

"When will the national treasury not be empty?" Qi Xiuyuan interrupted the angel's words, and said coldly: "I think the Holy Majesty should change to a household minister. The national treasury is empty every year. Haven't you thought about finding the reason?"

The angel was silent for a moment, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs was in charge of Qin Fang, Prime Minister of Qin, and he was the celebrity in front of the Holy Majesty, who would dare to pick his fault?

Qi Xiuyuan snorted coldly, the angel rolled his eyes, saw He Yuanwai and the others lying limp on the ground, and said in a low voice: "General Qi, in fact, Prime Minister Qin has already solved the problem for you, it's just that you have to do the last step." General Dongying Luji solved it himself, although the method was a bit tougher, it was still a good way."

Qi Xiuyuan followed his gaze to look at He Yuanwai and the others, with a strange expression on his face, "I can do whatever I want?"

"This, it's better not to go too far." The angel said vaguely.

Although the voices of the two were quiet, but He Yuanwai and the others were close to the two of them, they could hear them clearly, and for a moment they felt sadness coming from it.

When the angel saw that Qi Xiuyuan no longer asked for money or food, he breathed a sigh of relief, puffed out his chest and said, "General Qi, Lord Wu, this time I was ordered to escort Qian Shu, the magistrate of Mingshui County, back to the capital. Temporary magistrate of Mingshui County Song Zhi, the county magistrate, is in charge. The official also brought the booklet designated as military land, so you can discuss it with Master Wu."

The angel came in a mighty way, left behind a big stall and left in a hurry.

Only then did He Yuanwai and the others look up at Qi Xiuyuan tremblingly, and asked expectantly: "General Qi, this military household matter..."

"Naturally, I would like to obey the holy orders. Master He, Master Liu, and Master Fang, you all seem to be in the roster. Go back and prepare."

The expressions of the three of them changed drastically, and they all begged for mercy, "General, you see, I have old arms and legs, and I can't even hold a knife. How can I win the battlefield? I am willing to donate food and grass to help the general."

Qi Xiuyuan said indifferently: "The three descendants have countless descendants. If you can't go to the battlefield, don't you still have descendants? You three can just enjoy the blessings at home."

There are quite a few concubines and grandchildren of the three of them. It's not that they are reluctant to part with a son and grandson, but once they are classified as military households, the fields under their names will also become military fields, and 40% of the harvest will be taken away. What is the difference between their lives?

The other squires who were let go stood with their necks shrunk, for fear that the fire would burn on them.

Qi Xiuyuan ignored them, only turned his head to Wu Shancai and said: "Master Wu, you should order the counties to prepare, and I will send someone to check with you later."

After all, turn around and leave.

But Dai Wei's soldiers were still surrounded outside, and everyone knew that his move was to prevent the common people from causing chaos.

And as soon as Qi Xiuyuan left, the meaning of the imperial decree was announced. For a while, the people in the prefecture were full of cries, but there were also bachelors who ran to the street and shouted: "This is the time for us to make meritorious deeds!"

Often, they are thrown away by rotten vegetable leaves as soon as they shout out.

No matter how good the imperial decree says, giving the fields and land and returning the seeds and farm tools, for ordinary people, joining the army and fighting means death.

Qi Xiuyuan acted quickly. Seeing that the people in the city were agitated, he asked Jiang Ze to take a booklet and set up a stage in the city, and announced: "The Holy One is merciful, and seeing that the people have nothing to support, he issued this decree. For military households, each male has 40 mu, each female has 20 mu, and each minor has 20 mu. This is Yongye farmland. In addition, each family gets another 100 mu as military farmland. Ladies and gentlemen, You will know that most of you have mortgaged the land deeds. If there is no accident, you can only lease the land or serve as slaves after the spring. If so, why not give it a go? If you make contributions on the battlefield, your family will also have a place to stay, not to mention joining the army It was originally to protect the family and the country, but now the Tartars are rampant, and if the country does not exist, what is a family?"

The excited people gradually calmed down, and someone questioned: "We entered the military household, can we really get so many fields?"

Jiang Ze nodded solemnly, "This is an imperial decree, so it is naturally true."

Some people counted with their fingers for a long time and still couldn't figure out how much land they could get from their family, but they also knew that it was impossible for them to work hard for three lifetimes, so they couldn't help but wonder, "Where did the imperial court get so many fields?"

Someone said from the side: "I heard that He Yuanwai and the others were also included. They have a lot of money and have not escaped. What can we complain about?"

Immediately, someone laughed, "Didn't He Yuanwai want me to go to the battlefield together?"

"You have a good idea. They have many sons. You can just pick one up. How can you compare yourself to others as a bachelor?"

"I am also happy to be able to go to the battlefield with the son of the landlord's family."

The painting style below changed suddenly, and the corners of Jiang Ze's mouth twitched slightly as he stood on the high platform, pretending he didn't hear it. Seeing that the people were appeased, Jiang Ze breathed a sigh of relief and became happy.

But Qi Xiuyuan, who returned to the mansion and opened the booklet, was not in a good mood. His finger tapped on the booklet, and a name was written on it, Mu Shi!

Mu Shi, he clearly remembered that he had crossed out his name. Although the opponent was strong, he wanted to keep this strong general, but Fang Zhi was not here. The most important thing was that they had favors Yu Haoran and Zijin. Naturally, he is willing to fulfill them, but why does his name appear here?

The Mu family seems to have offended some extraordinary people.

Qi Xiuyuan couldn't figure it out, so he looked for the answer by himself, took the booklet and went to Mu Shi.

The Mu family has already packed up their things, and they will leave only after the folks from Linshan Village are registered as military households. Mu Shi decides to take Ma Liu's grandfather and grandson with them.

The Ma family has no males and belongs to an extinct household, and was not included in the military household, so they are free to come and go.

Their land has also been designated as military land, even if it is not designated as military land, their land deeds are not with them. When they went to the government office to re-apply the land deeds, they registered for the first time, and when they asked for the second time, Those pieces of land have already belonged to Mr. Liu's family.

They know that the land has been invaded, and it is difficult to get it back. Although they are aggrieved, it is difficult for ants to shake the elephant, so they can only recognize it.

While worrying about them, Mu Shi felt that Shu Wanniang and the twins were still young, so he proposed to let Ma Liushi follow.

Although Ma Liushi didn't want to leave his hometown, he agreed for the sake of his two granddaughters and livelihood. At this time, they all packed their things, and when they saw Qi Xiuyuan coming, they thought it was someone else, so they enthusiastically welcomed him in.

Unexpectedly, Qi Xiuyuan handed a booklet to Mu Shi, saying: "You have been registered as a military household and given the post of Xiaoqi. I'm afraid you won't be able to leave."

The faces of the Mu family changed drastically.
