Chapter 164: Beheading Reform

On September 1, 21st year of Wanli, on September 25, 1593, Huang Laifu led his troops back to Wuzhai Fort.

When Huang Laifu led thousands of soldiers back to Wuzhai Fort, the entire Wuzhai Fort was in full swing. Everyone beat drums and drums and welcomed the triumphant soldiers. After returning, they held a banquet and gave the soldiers a holiday. It was lively for several days. In fact, when Huang Laifu came back from North Korea, when he passed by the capital, Emperor Wanli summoned him to meet him again, but the two said something privately, but others didn't know.

This time, Huang Laifu led his troops to fight outside for more than ten months. He sent troops last winter. When he returned to Wuzhai Fort, the local area had passed the autumnal equinox. Not to mention that Wuzhai Fort and other places had already finished their autumn harvest, they were the newly acquired concubine Qu Xiuhe, who had given birth to a fat son for him. Huang Laifu happily named him Huang Wulang.

For several days, Huang Laifu held a banquet in Wuzhai Fort, counting military achievements, sorting out related pension and reward matters, etc. In this battle in Korea, the court rewarded relevant people, and Huang Laifu was no exception. However, the relevant rewards were afraid that they would not be released until next year.

The military achievements of the Battle of Korea will not be counted for a while, but the Ministry of War of War in the Battle of Ningxia last year has been sorted out. It is reported that Lord Huang Laifu will be promoted to the commander of the general of Shanxi Town. This speed of promotion is naturally very jealous.

However, no matter how jealous he was, Huang Laifu was about to be promoted, and he was still a prominent position as a general. This made him return to Wuzhai Fort these days, and people from all walks of life have been visiting him.

September 7, 21st year of Wanli.

After a few days of busy post-war affairs, Huang Laifu turned his attention back to the affairs of the fort. On the morning of the seventh day, accompanied by everyone in Wuzhai Fort, Huang Laifu inspected several places he managed.

The autumn harvest in various places has been completed, and farms in various places are idle. However, the farms and livestock farms in various places have ushered in a rolling crowd. After several years of development, every time after the slack farming, the military farmers from nearby military forts in prefectures and counties will come to Wuzhai Fort to work for a short-term worker, and will go back during the Chinese New Year, forming a wave of work.

The workshops are prosperous and the farms are rich and peaceful. In the pastures and lively farms, sheep can be seen everywhere, pigs and chickens make lively sounds from time to time. All of this satisfy Huang Laifu. Everything in front of him is the crystallization of his mind.

Especially no matter where Huang Laifu went, the sincere and respectful gazes of the military households around Wuzhaibao made him feel that he had not come to the Ming Dynasty in vain. No matter what the future said, he had at least changed the fate of Wuzhaibao.

What should I do next? Huang Laifu needs to plan carefully. The 21st year of Wanli was actually a troublesome year. So far, in addition to the Battle of Korea, this year, the cabinet chief minister changed from Zhao Zhigao to Wang Xijue. In the first month, the court officials also caused a lot of controversy over the third prince proposed by Emperor Wanli to be crowned king.

In addition, there were major events such as the Henan miners' riot, the right censor of the governor of Yunnan, Chen Yongbin, built eight cities of Tengchong, Xu Wei passed away, Wang Daokun passed away, and Li Shizhen passed away. In August, Chen Yubi, the Minister of Rites of Zhan Shifu, submitted a memorial to Emperor Wanli to request the official history of this dynasty, and Emperor Wanli issued an edict to compile the national history. Later, it was decided that the Grand Secretary Wang Xijue and Zhang Wei were the presidents, Chen Yubi and Luo Wanhua were the vice presidents, and the right son Yu Jideng and others would be the editors and compile the national history together.

However, Huang Laifu knew that the three major battles in Wanli had already carried out two battles, and they would be calmed down in the next few years. The above things have not yet anything to do with Huang Laifu. Now Huang Laifu has turned his attention inward and plans to concentrate on managing his territory and better plan his strategic concepts.

At noon, Huang Laifu returned to Wuzhaibao mansion and planned to have a good rest.

When he returned to the mansion, he took a nap for a while. When he got up, Gu Yunniang personally served him to dress. There were a few beautiful little maids who brought the water to wash their faces. Gu Yunniang tried the water temperature again and served Huang Laifu to wash his face.

Huang Laifu watched her work, washed her face, and smiled and said, "My Yun Niang is so virtuous. Come on, let's kiss her husband."

He hugged Gu Yunniang, hugged her in his arms, and kissed her.

Gu Yunniang's eyes turned watery and gave Huang Laifu a angrily, "Hate, there are servants watching!"

Huang Laifu smiled and said, "The couple is intimate, the gods are so authentic, what are the servants afraid of when they see it!"

He glanced at the few little maids standing shyly beside him, and his big hand slid on Gu Yunniang's buttocks, and praised: "The feel is still so good!"

"It's always like this..."

Gu Yunniang's face was flushed, and her jade hand was placed on Huang Laifu's hand, and she said charmingly: "Your husband, you are so cruel."

Huang Laifu looked at Gu Yunniang's charming look and was even more moved, saying, "Haha, then be a little worse for your husband."

As he said that, Huang Laifu hugged Gu Yunniang tighter and placed one hand on her plump and towering chest...

Gu Yunniang found that she liked Huang Laifu very much. She felt a little happy and looked at the little maids next to her and said tremblingly: "Don't, please..."

The little maids knew it, blushed and stepped back, and gently brought the door...

Huang Laifu came to the hall with a refreshing spirit, and Gu Yunniang followed him, with a hint of seductive blush on her face.

In the hall, the Huang family members, Huang Sihao, Yang, several sisters, Gu Qianhu, Song and others were all sitting in the hall chatting. After Huang Laifu greeted them, he sat down to have tea.

Gu Yunniang sat obediently beside Mrs. Yang, tapping her body for her. As Huang Laifu's status improved, everyone also knew that Huang Laifu was filial, and Huang Sihao and Yang's status in the mansion naturally rose.

Gu Yunniang's mother, Song, has talked to Gu Yunniang for many times. He said that if her daughter wants to maintain her status as a grand wife in the mansion, she naturally needs to know how to please her husband Huang Laifu. To please Huang Laifu, Huang Sihao and Yang are the key. Gu Yunniang has always done a good job following her mother's words. In addition, she is Huang Laifu's wife and son Huang Dalang, so she naturally has a stable position in the mansion.

Yang looked at Huang Laifu and Gu Yunniang with a smile. She naturally knew what they looked like at first glance. She cursed Huang Laifu: "I am so adult, I don't know how to cherish my body." Then she continued to talk to everyone about the topic just now. Only Liu Yumei and Qu Xiuhe, who were sitting beside him, looked at Gu Yunniang enviously.

At this time, everyone was talking about the development of land outside the border. After Huang Laifu returned, after counting the merits, he beheaded more than 3,000 Japanese soldiers. As usual, each soldier who went to the battle was basically rewarded with a head-level forty taels of silver. The total reward of silver was more than 100,000 taels of silver.

However, Huang Laifu had a different view at this time. He wanted to first implement the land law outside the border among the meritorious soldiers. He beheaded one level in exchange for 400 acres of fertile land in Hetao. After this news came out, both the soldiers of Wuzhai Fort and many military households in Wuzhai Fort were very interested.

The Chinese people's concept of land is deeply rooted, especially in ancient times, when they bought land and houses after making money, they passed down to later generations. Although many farm garrisons and soldiers from Wuzhai Fort are now living a very stable and prosperous life under the management of Huang Laifu, many people are really moved by their own fertile land and let their descendants have their own inherited family business.

Huang Laifu asked Gu Shibao to make preliminary statistics that at least half of the soldiers were willing to implement this method. You should know how much wealth four hundred acres of land were in the mainland of Ming Dynasty.

After implementing this method, it is also very beneficial to Huang Laifu. First of all, Huang Laifu can be exempted from the huge beheading reward. Furthermore, after these soldiers of Wuzhai Fort retired, they can also consolidate the land in the north of the Seitou in the future. It is very beneficial to Huang Laifu's future business layout.

In addition to this, Huang Laifu also plans to implement a provident fund system for future generations. For those soldiers who do not want to ask for land outside the border, they will behead the first-level silver reward of 40 taels. However, now only 5 taels of 40 taels of silver will be given first, and the remaining 35 taels of silver will be deposited into the provident fund. After the soldiers retired for five years, they will be given together.

Except for special cases such as soldiers being disabled or killed in battle, they can be issued together at that time, the rest will be issued together after several years. This will prevent the soldiers from being at ease when they are young, and in order to get the money smoothly in the future and let their families live a good life, they will kill the enemy fiercely. After a few years, they will have a certain amount of wealth and retire if they want to retire.

Huang Laifu was full of confidence in the former, but Huang Laifu was worried that he would leave the soldiers with the impression of changing their orders every day. After all, his regulations were to give the reward silver in one go. So in this regard, he was still investigating the soldiers' thoughts. In these days, the officers, in accordance with Huang Laifu's order, sent a questionnaire to each soldier in Wuzhai Fort and Laoying Fort to see their thoughts.

It is precisely because of this that he has not sent the beheading and reward silver rewards that killed the enemy during the Battle of Korea. In the past, he sent it back to Wuzhai Fort immediately after moving his troops back to Wuzhai Fort.

Not to mention the reform concept of Huang Laifu, the entire Wuzhai Fort was discussed in a lot of controversy, even Huang Sihao, Yang and others have been discussing this issue.

Since Huang Sihao and Yang have traveled through time, their lives in recent years have also experienced the psychological changes brought about by the continuous changes in Huang Laifu's status. From being at a loss before to being at ease and comforting and satisfied now. Now the two elders have no other thoughts, that is, the Huang family will rely on their eldest son Huang Laifu in the future.

The two elders naturally couldn't understand Huang Laifu's layout outside the border. No matter what Huang Laifu did, they would just support him. However, other people in the Huang family, such as a few sisters, as well as father-in-law and mother-in-law's family, naturally had their own ideas.

Everything in Wuzhaibao now belongs to Huang Laifu, land farms, workshops and mines, etc., is actually owned by Huang Laifu. Wuzhaibao is the fief of Huang Laifu. Several sisters, with their father-in-law and mother-in-law, can get some benefits from Huang Laifu from time to time, but they also know that this is not a long-term solution.

Therefore, as soon as Huang Laifu's idea of ​​operating outside the border was revealed, everyone had their own ideas.

Although Huang Laifu and his sisters' husbands were hereditary officers of the Ming Dynasty and had their own land, over the years, they have occupied many small soldiers' fields. However, Shanxi Town has barren land. Even if they possess more such land, how much benefit does it have? They do not have the financial resources like Huang Laifu to operate like Wuzhai Fort.

Gu Qianhu himself is old and has no hope, but he has several sons and wants to make some fertile land for his sons to live a good life in the future. Therefore, during these times, he often scrutinizes his son-in-law's voice, and Song's family, and constantly lets Gu Yunniang blow the wind beside Huang Laifu's ears.

There are also Liu Yumei, Qu Xiuhe... and old officers from Wuzhai Fort. Over the years, some interest groups have gradually formed behind them, but these are all things that Huang Laifu is happy to see. Giving others' gratitude is what Huang Laifu likes to do. Anyway, the land is not his own, and the more others have this, the better.

It is also the Wuzhai Fort. Inspired by Huang Laifu, everyone realized the benefits of the outside world. They placed them in other places in the Ming Dynasty and thought that the outside world was a barren land.
