Liu Min'an, the prefect of Jianning Mansion, was taken aback when he received the news of Li Yuntian's sudden visit to Jianning City, he wanted to rush to Fujian Xingdu Division to meet Li Yuntian, but then he was surprised to learn that Li Yuntian was going to live in Jianning Mansion, so he hurriedly asked his subordinates to clean up the best yard in the back house of the mansion.

Unlike the governors and governors who came to inspect the local area in the past, Li Yuntian was not only a noble of the Ming Dynasty but also a hall official of the Sixth Ministry, and held important military and political positions, so everywhere he went, no official or military general dealt with it carefully, for fear that there would be inadequate hospitality.

When he arrived at the residence in the backyard of the government, after Li Yuntian saw Liu Min'an, he summoned the military attache of the Jiangwutang who was in charge of the relocation of Jianning Mansion to Xiaoliuqiu Island, and asked him about the relocation of the people of Jianning Mansion.

As in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places, the relocation of civilian households was very smooth, mainly because the affairs of military households were more troublesome, and the local health centers often tried to prevent those military households from leaving.

The reason for this is that although the military land cultivated by military households has documents issued by the imperial court and can be inherited from generation to generation, it is not private land, but state-owned land belonging to the imperial court.

The imperial court distributed military land to military households for cultivation free of charge, and used the output of military land to maintain the operation of the guards, which reduced the imperial court's expenditure on military expenditure, and was also suitable for frontier and barren locations.

At the beginning of the establishment of the guard system, in order to ensure that this system could be implemented, the imperial court made strict restrictions on the hereditary inheritance of military households, and it was very difficult to get rid of the military household registration, and there were only two ways:

The first is the permission granted by the emperor, and the second is the official to the six Shangshu, the Imperial History of the Imperial Court and the Dali Temple, otherwise no one is allowed to change the military status without authorization.

According to the regulations of the Ming Court on military households: those who cultivate military land within three hectares can be exempted from miscellaneous labor; Those who are more than three hectares must bear miscellaneous labor together with the households; The surplus ding with the camp and the surplus supply under the household can also be exempted from errands; Regular duty still has to be borne.

It is a pity that these systems have not been implemented in practice, and the miscellaneous labor of military households is higher than that of civilian households, and they are wantonly used by military attachés at all levels of the guards.

It is worth mentioning that military households, artisan households, and civilian households all belong to the good nationality of the Ming Dynasty and can participate in the imperial examination, but the number of military households participating in the imperial examination is limited.

Over time, it was rumored that the children of military families in the Ming Dynasty could not participate in the imperial examination, in fact, some cabinet elders of the Ming Dynasty were born in the children of military households, such as Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong were children of military families.

According to the provisions of the Ming Dynasty, if a private household intermarries with a military household, it will inevitably affect its children to become military households; Only one person is allowed to be a member of the military household, while there is no restriction on the civilian household, which makes only one person in the military household can step into the official career: the military household is allowed to serve as an official if it is more than five dings, and the civilian household can be an official if it is more than two dings; Civilian households are often punished by confiscating their children and nephews from their homes, and they are not allowed to leave their military status as their children and nephews.

It can be seen that the social status of military households is lower than that of civilian households and artisan households, and it can be said that they are at the bottom of the good family.

It is precisely because it is difficult to break away from the military status of military households, so Xiaoliuqiu Island is governed by Jiangwutang, after all, Jiangwutang is also the military yamen of the Ming Dynasty, and those military households have not changed their military status after arriving on Xiaoliuqiu Island, but they have just moved from one place to another.

In this way, when those military households left their original station, the imperial court would naturally take back the military fields that were originally issued to them, and when they arrived on Xiaoliuqiu Island, they would be given new military fields.

The reality is that many of the military fields issued by the imperial court to the military households have been occupied by the military attachés of the guard and the local wealthy families, and as soon as those military households leave, those military fields will be handed over to the imperial court, and the imperial court will assign them to new military households in the future, which means that the ownership of those military fields will change, which is not what those who have benefited from it want to see, and naturally obstruct it in every way.

Moreover, once the number of military households decreases, the number of military attachés who can be transferred to serve as miscellaneous servants will also decrease, and their interests will undoubtedly be harmed.

Since the establishment of the guard system by Ming Taizu, the guard has never encountered such a large-scale relocation except for the abolition, which makes some of the gloom and filth in the guard house buried under the surface, and also makes the imperial court clean up the military affairs of the local guard post year after year with little effect.

This time, Xiaoliuqiu Island was suddenly recovered by Li Yuntian, which is amazing enough, and the ensuing relocation policy has caused an uproar in the local health centers in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, once the military households choose to leave, then all kinds of filth and darkness in the health centers will be exposed.

On the one hand, rumors were spread that Xiaoliuqiu Island was a barbarian land rampant with Japanese bandits, and that there were still man-eating savages living on it, and that plague was rampant, and that it had been a place of exile since ancient times, and that if you went there, you would either die of illness or be killed by savages.

On the other hand, they also coerced and lured those military households, but in some places they were more relaxed, while in others they were more excessive, for example, what happened in Shangma Village was a typical case, and finally alarmed Li Yuntian.

"Lord Wang, I went to Shangma Village to find the military households there, but no matter how humble they spoke, they just didn't believe in lowly and refused to say anything to lowly officials." The military attache of the Jiangwutang in charge of the Jianning Prefecture area is tall, with a Beizhili accent, and his name is Zhao Yong, who is a military attache who graduated from the third phase of the Jiangwutang, and he said to Li Yuntian with shame.

"This kind of thing is beyond your ability, and you have done your duty if you can report it in time." Li Yuntian waved his hand when he heard this, the Jiangwutang did not have the power to enforce the law in the Jianning area, so it was not realistic to let Zhao Yong, the military attache in charge of the relocation of the Jiangwutang, intervene too much in Shangma Village.

In fact, since the establishment of the Jiangwutang, Li Yuntian has always paid great attention to the relationship between the Jiangwutang and the major governors, and strictly ordered the military attachés of the Jiangwutang to interfere in the affairs of the major governors' mansions, so as not to have disputes with the major governors.

Even if Li Yuntian went to Jiangnan to inspect military and political affairs this time, the problems he encountered in the local health offices were all handed over to the various capital divisions and the administrative departments to solve, so as to avoid provoking the governors of the major metropolitan governors as much as possible, after all, he was not only the imperial court's envoy but also the chief instructor of the martial arts hall, so he deliberately avoided personally handling the local affairs of the major metropolitan governors' offices.

"This king has already arranged, you will definitely gain a lot from going to Shangma Village with the people of Fujian Xingdusi." After a deep groan, Li Yuntian said to Zhao Yong quietly.

"Obedience." Zhao Yong was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed down to answer the order, although he didn't know what Li Yuntian said about the "harvest", but as long as Li Yuntian said it, he would definitely not be wrong.

"Zixi, are you ready?" After Zhao Yong left, Li Yuntian summoned a captain military attache who lectured on martial arts, and asked in a deep voice.

"Lord Wang, everything has been prepared, just wait for the prince to give an order to go to Shangma Village." The captain's military attache bowed to Li Yuntian and replied in a loud voice.

If you pay close attention, you will find that this captain military attache is the young merchant who went to Shangma Village with Li Yuntian last time, his name is Li Zixi, and Zhao Yong are both military attaches who graduated from the third phase of the martial arts hall, a native of Jinan Prefecture, Shandong, and a distant cousin of Li Yuntian.

The military attaches who can stay by Li Yuntian's side are the elite of the elite among the same graduates of the lecture martial arts, just like the Shu Jishi in the jinshi, and usually they will be arranged to be staff officers by Li Yuntian's side to assist Li Yuntian in handling the affairs of the lecture martial arts, and the future is unlimited.

Generally speaking, after staying with Li Yuntian for a few years, these young military attaches will be sent to the grass-roots units or grass-roots departments under the Wutang to experience training, and in Li Yuntian's view, military attachés without grass-roots experience cannot become qualified middle and high-ranking generals.

"Let's go." Knowing that Li Zixi was ready, Li Yuntian nodded to him and said in a deep voice, "Make a noise, so that everyone can guess your identity!" ”

"Humble duty understands." Li Zixi smiled slightly, bowed to Li Yuntian and walked away quickly, this kind of thing can be said to be done without pressure.

Looking at Li Zixi's back, the corners of Li Yuntian's mouth showed a sneer, since he went to Jianning Mansion in person and went to Shangma Village, then those bold guys must be ready to meet the punishment they deserve.

Shangma Village.

With the arrival of Li Yuntian, the situation in Shangma Village can be said to be extremely tense, and soon after Li Yuntian arrived in Jianning City, Feng Yong sent officials from the Yamen of the Fujian Xingdu Division to hurry to the village to re-investigate the conflict between Yan Zhong and Zhao Laosan.

This time, Du Si Du Si and their people were not polite, and drove away all the Jianning right guards who were dangling in Shangma Village, it was obvious that Li Yuntian was already very dissatisfied with the failure of Du Si Yamen to investigate the conflict between Yan Zhong and Zhao Laosan, and no one dared to perfunctory things anymore.

Feng Yong attached great importance to the investigation this time, and sent the Yamen of the Fujian Xingdu Division to personally lead the team to Shangma Village from the left capital of Erpin, and Song Min, the commander of the same knowledge, to personally lead the team to Shangma Village, and it was necessary to find out the matter.

The villagers of Shangma Village were confused by the sudden scene, and they didn't know why the people from the Dusi Yamen suddenly wanted to retry the case that had been tried before, and there was also a senior member from the second rank to suppress the formation.

However, soon, the villagers of Shangma Village received a shocking news that the famous King Zhongwu was shocked by the case of Yan Zhong and Zhao Laosan, and unexpectedly put down the complicated affairs at hand and rushed to Jianning City from Xiaoliuqiu Island.

This news caused an uproar in Shangma Village, and no one thought that the high-ranking and powerful Li Yuntian would pay attention to such an ordinary military household as Zhao Laosan, and he was surprised and happy in his heart.

Just when the villagers gathered in groups of three or five to discuss Li Yuntian's arrival with great interest, there was a sudden commotion at the entrance of the village, and I saw a dozen or so horsemen on horseback entering the village with two carriages full of goods.

To the surprise of the villagers, although they were dressed in civilian clothes, none of the soldiers of the Dusi Yamen who were on duty at the entrance of the village stepped forward to stop them, and they were allowed to enter the village without even interrogating them.

Several officials of the Dusi Yamen followed those plainclothes people from a distance, as if they did not dare to disturb those plainclothes people, and seemed to be extremely afraid of them.

The carriage was loaded with chickens, ducks, fish, silk, and a jar of wine, which made the villagers feel very strange, wondering why these people in civilian clothes appeared here, so they followed them curiously to watch the excitement.
