Chapter 132 131 Future

The edict that Wei Guangde thought of was seen in the Fuxue Library. In June of the 19th year of Hongwu, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang issued an edict to establish a system: "Soldiers fought against Tang, and were given a family, and were given three years of rebirth."

What does it mean? It means that a military male family member died in battle without a descendant, and his relatives are exempted from military status and are reborn as a private household, and they also enjoy no tax and rent for three years.

However, it is not the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. Many of the military households in that year were alone, but now it is different. Every family has its own subordinates, at least in Bengshan Fort.

I have to ask if I can transfer the orphan and widowed mother of Cai to the civil service.

For ordinary people, there is still a big difference between military and civilian status. When a child grows up, he will have much more room for choice.

Wei Guangde thought in his mind, but he didn't stop at his feet and followed his elder brother slowly.

After staying in Pengze County for two days, the two teams of soldiers were no longer detained in the military camp because they returned home.

Two teams of soldiers, one from the Bengshan Hundred Household Institute. At this time, the soldiers had all the money in their hands. When they first started, they gave two taels of silver. Now they got ten taels of silver rewards, and they were generous. In addition, many families came to the county town to greet them, so they naturally had to take this opportunity to stroll around the county town and buy New Year's goods.

A man has been fighting outside for a year and finally came home, so he naturally has to prepare a gift for his family.

The source of the other team of soldiers is slightly wider. The main force is the local garrison, but more than 30 were drawn from other hundreds of households, and they are good at fighting and fighting.

The people who led the troops understood that they should not be dissatisfied with their soldiers. Wu Zhankui directly released the people out of the military camp to reunite with their families and purchase goods. He would return to the military camp on the 16th day of the first lunar month of the year.

Having been away for nearly a year, it can be considered a month off for them.

In the past two days, you can see these Ming soldiers wearing brand new battle jackets walking on the streets, with large bags of small bags on their hands and backs.

They were really easy to identify. There were a few ordinary Ming soldiers who had new war jackets on them, but they were all issued in unknown years.

When the merchant saw these soldiers enter, he immediately received enthusiastically, shouting words like "kill the Japanese heroes" and "buying things will definitely be cheap".

Well, when they left, no one knew what they were doing.

However, now everyone knows that the frontier of Pengze County sent troops to Zhejiang to fight Japanese pirates and made military achievements.

Almost everyone was preparing to welcome the new year in a festive atmosphere. Perhaps only the family of more than a dozen soldiers who died in battle, although they received fifteen taels of silver from the garrison, they still couldn't hide their sadness.

Since the Hongwu period, the Ming Dynasty allocated three taels of silver to burn and buried in the war.

This amount of money seems to be small, but in fact, for families with "iron rice bowls", money is second, and it is mainly this profession.

Of course, the premise is that the military pay can be paid on time, rather than being deducted now and cannot even be cashed out.

This may also be the main reason why most people in later generations believed that the Ming Dynasty's military households were inferior to those of the civilian households.

The eldest brother Wei Wencai and his cousin Wu Dong also received the appointment documents issued by the Jiujiang Guard Command Yamen. The cousin Wu Dong was a thousand households and was in charge of the Thousand Houses of the Right Army. The eldest brother Wei Wencai was directly the Hundred Houses of the Bengshan Hundred Houses.

The appointment documents of Qianhu were issued by the former military governor's office, and the Jiujiang Guard was only transferred, while the appointment documents of Baihu were issued directly by the Jiujiang Guard Commander and Commander.

In addition, when I was in Jiujiang before, my father and uncle received all their expectations, and there is no regret.

There is more than half a month left before the Chinese New Year, but the Wu family did not relax because of the New Year. Instead, they were even busier, which was for their cousin Wu Dong's marriage.

What should have been done this year, but Wu Zhankui was not there, so he could only postpone it. Now Wu Dong has taken over as a thousand households, so he naturally cannot delay it.

The Wei family also discussed the wedding date of the eldest brother Wei Wencai and Liu Yunhui with the Liu family, and then found someone to choose a good day.

Originally, Wei Guangde planned to start traveling in Jiangxi after the New Year. He was going out to visit the mountains and rivers of Jiangxi, and the other was to find friends and collect eight-part essays.

But at this time, my cousin's marriage was scheduled for February of the next year, and my eldest brother's marriage was in May, and half a year was delayed.

Wei Guangde had to modify his original plan and read books in the public school this year, and talk about traveling the next year. Anyway, it is still early to the next autumn examination.

There is also the matter of giving up money. This year is just right. It depends on whether there is a suitable opportunity to give out the money and give yourself interest.

In fact, Wei Guangde is still a little confused about the future.

Before the provincial examination, Wei Guangde had a clearer understanding of his future, that is, the imperial examination and the officialdom.

However, after failing this provincial examination, Wei Guangde understood a little bit that the destiny he thought was probably his wishful thinking in the past few times.

You are no different from the scholars of this era. Only by taking the imperial examinations can you make a name for yourself, but you have to take it step by step.

I thought that if there was Tianjuan, I could take the exam with confidence and boldness and pass it casually. It would be impossible. It would be an unknown accident to travel through it by myself.

However, no matter what, Wei Guangde must take the provincial examination, not only his desire to make a name for himself, but also his family's eager expectations.

For yourself and for your family, what else can you say? Fight for it.

During this period, the family was busy preparing for the New Year, and Wei Guangde was the most idle person.

The reason is actually very simple, reading books and imperial examinations.

This is the only request from his family now.

Wei Guangde also used this period of time to clarify his ideas and find the future path.

At this time, Wei Guangde no longer thought about becoming an official. He now only wants to win the fame of Juren. As for whether to rely on the fame of Juren to become an official, Wei Guangde never thought about it because he knew that this was not something he could choose.

This may be the last year Wei Guangde spent in Bengshan Fort, and he will move to Jiujiang Prefecture with his father in the future.

During the time at home, Wei Guangde called out his childhood playmates for a day. Most of them had to follow their elder brother and become military soldiers in the Hundred Houses in the future. Only two of them were young and might go to the city to find a job.

Here, after spending an ordinary New Year, Wei Guangde will follow his father and mother back to Jiujiang.

On this day, it was already the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, and the soldiers from the Baihu Institute came to the small teaching ground in front of the fort gate to gather and start the training for the new year.

After saying goodbye to his elder brother, Wei Guangde did not get on the carriage, but rode his horse alone and left Bengshan Fort. He looked back from afar and looked at the place he had been here for the longest time.

Everything seemed like the same as when he first came. The "fishing boat" went out to fish every day, and there were still busy figures in the fields. Perhaps the only thing that changed was people.

This year, when I saw the military households in the fort, perhaps because of a fat year, everyone looked much rosy.

Perhaps, only by fighting and winning can the military households make life easier.
