Chapter 35: Shock

The arrival of grain is a huge shock to the Qianhu Institute in Jiangdong Gate, I don't know how many years, and every time the New Year Pass is a torture for the military households in the Qianhu Office. Many of the military households here don't seem to have eaten a full meal since they were born, and some of the military families look at their own children with thin yellow muscles and wide eyes, and they can't help but feel like a knife, originally they thought that this year would be like this, but they never expected that the adults of the thousand households would give them such a big meeting gift.

Twenty catties of white flour, ten catties of rice, half a catty of lard and half a catty of refined salt per person, such a thing sounds like a myth, but now it is indeed happening, not only that, but not only that, Lord Qianhu also issued a set of clothes (old-fashioned three-color camouflage uniform) and a pair of shoes (liberation shoes) to each sergeant, although this set of clothes and shoes looks a little strange, but for the sergeant who has not worn a new dress for many years, this is simply the best gift in the world.

That night, Yang Feng also feasted the officers of the Thousand Households in the Thousand Households Mansion that already belonged to him.

The dish is a big fat pig and some chickens, ducks and fish that Yang Feng sent someone to buy from Nanjing City, and then let people make it, and the wine is the red star two-pot head brought by Yang Feng from the modern society. This time the atmosphere in the room is much more lively than when Yang Feng was picked up and washed a few days ago, the last time was out of etiquette, everyone got together to catch Yang Feng, and this time the mood of the officers was much more enthusiastic than the last time, as soon as the banquet began, a group of people picked up the porcelain bowl in their hands as if they had discussed it in advance, and toasted Yang Feng together.

Geng Bingyi, as the deputy Qianhu, took the lead and said: "Lord Qianhu, this first cup of wine respects you!" Let's not talk about it if there are too many, and the lowly and brothers will do it first for respect! ”

Seeing the officers raise the porcelain bowl that could hold half a catty and the liquor inside, the corners of Yang Feng's mouth twitched and nodded, "Okay, let's do it!" ”

"!" The officers in the room raised the porcelain bowls and raised their heads to toast, but in the next second, all the faces of all the people immediately changed, and almost all the people in the room turned into the red-faced Guan Gong.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Geng Bingyi, who felt as if he had swallowed a ball of fire in his throat, coughed non-stop on the spot.

Looking at Geng Bingyi, who was flushed, Yang Feng laughed a little unscrupulously, just now he had already seen that these officers wanted to play wheel warfare in the name of toasting, because he didn't remind those officers that the wine in their hands was not the same bad wine as rancid water that they usually drank, this is a two-pot head with 50 degrees.

"Your Excellency...... This...... This wine ......"

"Well, this wine is very strong." Yang Feng's smile was so hateful in Geng Bingyi's eyes, as if the fox who had succeeded in the conspiracy was grinning.

After a while, Geng Bingyi regained his strength and stammered, "My lord, is this...... What kind of wine is this, how can it be so strong, drinking it is like a fire burning in the chest. ”

Yang Feng gloated and smiled: "How is it, it's amazing, right?" This is a liquor specially transported from overseas by the official, and most people drink this kind of wine in small sips, and you pour it well, one bowl at a time, thinking that this is drinking the kind of sour and rancid water in the past. ”

Yang Feng teased dozens of officers in the entire Qianhu Institute this time, but they can't be angry yet, who let them be heroes themselves.

After being teased, the officers also learned to be obedient, and no longer thought about seeking revenge on Yang Feng, so they honestly drank it in small sips.

After a few bites, Yang Feng saw that everyone was slowly getting into a state, so he put down the porcelain bowl and said loudly: "Everyone, put down the wine glass in your hand and listen to me." ”

Hearing Yang Feng speak, everyone put down the dishes and chopsticks in their hands and looked at Yang Feng quietly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have also seen the current situation of our Thousand Households in the past few days. If you use one sentence to describe it, it is that the military families are all unclothed and hungry, and thousands of sergeants and their families live no different from beggars! Speaking of this, Yang Feng's voice became louder, and the entire room was silent except for him.

"Why is this happening? I think there are three reasons for this! Yang Feng began to stretch out a finger and said loudly: "One is because most of the land of our Thousand Households has been swallowed up by the wealthy merchants and magnates nearby, and the remaining land is simply not enough to feed the thousands of people of our Thousand Households. Second, the remaining land after being occupied by the powerful was still occupied by the people we were doing, so that the military households had to become tenants and rely on farming for us to live. ”

Hearing this, many officers in the whole house felt that their faces were hot, because it was because of them that the already difficult days of the military families were even more sad, but there were also some people with disapproving expressions on their faces, the Ming Dynasty has been like this for hundreds of years, if they don't encroach on these lands, it will be difficult for them to work in the fields.

Yang Feng, who saw everyone's faces, stretched out his third finger: "Third, that's because we are not angry." Who are we, we are military households, we are soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, but look at yourself, who of you here has fought and seen blood. ”

"Your Excellency!" Chu Maoguang couldn't help but say on the side: "You can't blame us for this, our Qianhu is located in Nanjing, and there have been no thieves or wars for hundreds of years, where do we have the opportunity to see blood?" ”

"Excuses!" Yang Feng said without giving any face: "As far as this official knows, our Ming military discipline has long stipulated that the sergeants of the guard station must drill once every ten days and once a month. Can you tell me when was the last time we had a drill? ”

"Uh......"

Everyone was dumb, and the last time Senhe did a drill seemed to be three years ago when people from the military department came to inspect it.

Seeing the silent crowd, Yang Feng said coldly: "What, don't you speak?" ”

"Your Excellency!" Baihu Cao Yingyu said in a bitter tone: "The humble position naturally knows this, but the sergeants can't even eat, where do they have the strength to conduct drills." ”

"I know that, too." Yang Feng's tone softened a little, "I also know the problem you are talking about, so this time I plan to carry out a change to our Qianhu Institute, but this change will touch your interests, so I plan to talk to you in advance." ”

Seeing Yang Feng's serious expression, everyone immediately realized that what Yang Feng said next was likely to be related to their vital interests, and they all looked at him with wide eyes.

Facing everyone's gaze, Yang Feng said slowly: "Next, I plan to collect all the fields in your hands into thousands of households and turn them into collective farms!" ”

"Boom ......"

Yang Feng's words exploded in the house like a bomb, and everyone was shaken.
