It's August, and the weather is gradually moving away from the scorching heat.

"Thousands of miles to the plane, Guan Shan is like flying. Shuoqi spreads the golden watch, and the cold light shines on the iron coat. The general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned to ...... in ten years"

Wearing a pale red breast-length skirt and holding a bamboo branch in her hand, the tiger girl walked happily towards this side reading poems. The crisp voice stopped abruptly, and the big bright eyes flashed a bright light, but he stepped forward quickly, squatted down and picked up a copper coin on the ground.

The copper coin is naturally the default face value, but this copper coin printed with "Jiajing Tongbao" is very bright, which makes her like it even more, and feels that this copper coin is worth more than ordinary copper coins.

"Brother?"

Hu Niu was about to share with Ali and the others behind her, but when she looked up, she saw her brother standing at the door of the mansion, and a cheerful smile immediately appeared on her pink face.

Although she is very playful and doesn't like to stay in the mansion all the time, every time she sees her brother, she always feels a sense of intimacy in her heart and has a sense of home.

Almost as soon as she saw Lin Haoran, the tiger girl had already taken a step and ran towards Lin Haoran. As if he was afraid that Lin Haoran would not see her, he raised his hand excitedly.

Ali and the others looked at this scene, but they were already surprised.

Ay......

Lin Haoran looked at the wild girl who ran over, but sighed helplessly, but she didn't know how old she had to be to stay at home honestly like those ladies and embroider calligraphy.

The tiger girl walks completely different from the others, if she walks and bites while holding the chicken leg, she may be able to walk from morning to dusk after walking this Huiai Street, but if there is anything, it is like a rabbit with smoke under her feet.

When she arrived, Lin Haoran said without any new ideas: "Where are you going to play again?" ”

"I've been to a lot of places this morning, I'll tell you later! Brother, look at this, I just picked it up! The tiger girl replied very seriously, but she didn't want to go through the trouble to list them one by one, and held up the copper coin to share the happiness proudly.

Lin Haoran glanced at the copper coin, but looked at this wild girl with an excited face helplessly, and really didn't understand what there was to be happy about picking up a penny.

However, he didn't want to ruin the wild girl's interest, nodded noncommittally, and was about to turn around and return to the mansion. It's just that where there are tiger girls, it seems that there will never be peace.

A middle-aged man in ragged clothes who came back with the tiger girl suddenly knelt down and said, "Lord Futai, please save the grass people's family, the grass people are willing to repay you by being horses and cows!" ”

Lin Haoran looked at this movement, combined with the fact that this person came back with the tiger girl, he looked at the tiger girl, this wild girl who likes to meddle in things.

Hu Niu carefully stuffed the copper coin into her waist, and then looked up at the pink big cake face and said: "Brother, he is a military household of the right guard in Guangzhou, but he was bullied by that person, I think we have to help him!" ”

Lin Haoran was not at all surprised by this answer, his eyes fell on this ragged middle-aged man, looking at the feet that were warm and muddy, which was estimated to be able to beg for money on the street.

But I have to say that the status of the military households in the Ming Dynasty is very low, and the most important thing is that they are extremely poor, which makes the households look down on them.

After Taizu seized the world, he divided the people of the world into occupations. Once it is classified as a military household, it is a military household for generations and serves in the military for the Ming Dynasty for life.

In the early days, military households could still get tuntian, and they could rely on tuntian to live. However, as a large number of military camps were occupied by powerful people, the lives of military households became more and more difficult.

The Ming Dynasty stipulates that in addition to sending more than one ding to the guard station to fill the army, each military household will also pay one more ding to serve with the army, and engage in all kinds of heavy labor with the army. When a soldier goes to serve in the guard, his uniform and the cost of the journey are all borne by his family.

The soldiers who served in the military originally had a monthly salary, but the military and political system of the Ming Dynasty has always been seriously corrupt, and there are very few military salaries that can be paid to military households every month, and it is not uncommon for military salaries to be owed for several years.

The most helpless thing is that once a soldier dies in the war, he doesn't even have a settling-in payment. Even if the enemy leader is killed, it is often difficult to get a bounty, and military merit is often preempted by the upper generals.

During the period when there was no war, the soldiers were often enslaved by the state capitals, eunuchs and magnates as the objects of hard labor. Some major projects are often completed by military officers, such as the construction of palaces, imperial tombs, dredging of rivers, etc.

In the guards, many high-ranking generals asked the sergeants to farm and plough the land for them, and even let the sergeants fish and collect wood and sell smuggled goods for them, and the sergeants have become tools and hard labor in their hands.

Not only do they have a meager income, but they also have heavy labor responsibilities.

In addition, the marriage of military members is also severely restricted. Because the sergeant not only has the obligation to serve, but also shoulders the responsibility of giving birth to the next generation of soldiers for the guard, it is stipulated that "the sergeant must have a wife, and shall not be celibate."

It is precisely because of various factors that the life of military households is very difficult. The wives and children of the soldiers were often poorly clothed and hungry, and some of the soldiers even begged for a living.

"Let's talk about it! What's going on? ”

Lin Haoran is naturally not a nosy person, but the matter has come to the front, whether it is to give the wild girl Hu Niu a little face, or to maintain his tall image, he needs to ask about it.

Huang Dasong's skin is dark, his hands are full of calluses, and his image is older than his actual age. If it weren't for the fact that his figure seemed very tall, it would be no different from ordinary households.

After hearing Lin Haoran's question, he wiped the tears overflowing from his eyes and told the story of the matter.

The matter is not complicated, Huang Dasong is from an ordinary military family, and the highest military position of his ancestors is only the general banner, so he has always been in the low level like most military households.

followed other military households to live a poor life, and with the serious deduction of military salaries by the imperial court, it became even more difficult to make ends meet, and Huang Dasong had to borrow money to live. Especially when he got married, he borrowed a debt from Chen Dahao, who was one of the hundred households in the west of the city at that time.

Over the years, he has already owed a debt of eight taels of silver.

Eight taels of silver is simply not money for Lin Hao, and now the funds he can use have reached hundreds of thousands of taels. But for military households, it is undoubtedly a huge amount of money.

Chen Dahao is living a more and more nourishing life, and he has been promoted from 100 households to 1,000 households, but it is inevitable that he will be "full of warm thoughts". He was still satisfied with accepting five concubines, but he fell in love with Huang Dasong's fourteen-year-old daughter.

Chen Weiye is even older than Huang Dasong, and Huang Dasong didn't want to wronged his daughter, so he resolutely refused.
