Chapter 25 25 Checking the Guard Station

In the days that followed, Wei Guangde still went to school step by step every day and studied with Master Sun.

After that family meeting, a few days later, Taoist Lin came to Bengshan Baihu Station again to negotiate with Wei Baihu on the land deal.

In the past few days, Mr. Wei also thought about the suggestions put forward by Wei Guangde, and also put them forward during the negotiations with Lao Dao.

For some of the conditions of Mr. Wei, Mr. Lin agreed immediately, while for others he bluntly said that he could not make the decision and needed to go back and ask the owner what he wanted.

Of course, Wei Guangde didn't know all this, and Father Wei never thought of letting a teenage boy get involved in this.

However, this is actually nothing to Wei Guangde, and it just suits his purpose.

The only thing that made Wei Guangde unhappy was that the more he learned, the more Master Sun began to make demands.

Now, every day after school, Wei Guangde's homework takes up a lot of his time for playing. Even on holidays, it is difficult for him to ride a horse and go out to play. That is, he can go to the mountains with a blunderbuss to shoot a few shots every now and then.

Later generations said that sharpshooters were fed with bullets.

Now Wei Guangde is convinced of this.

Yes, in the past two months, with the accumulation, his marksmanship has become better and better. From time to time, he can hit a dead mouse and hit a bird.

The field has been sold for a thousand taels of silver, and the position of the head of the village is about to be reached.

Wei Guangde only found out about it after Father Wei collected the money and completed the handover. Apparently the other party thought it would be good to have a military leader help watch over it, at least there wouldn't be any young people making trouble.

"Dad, who is this person's background?"

After learning about the deal, Wei Guangde quietly asked his father.

"It's Dehua. I can only find out which company it is in the future."

Father Wei glanced at Wei Guangde, with a joking smile on his lips, "There will be plenty of time to deal with them in the future, and we will naturally find out who they are."

Wei Guangde could accept it after thinking about it. If the other party found this place, it must be someone from the surrounding area.

Jiujiang Fucheng is Dehua, which means that the buyer is from Fucheng.

"Don't be a commander or a colleague."

Wei Guangde said this, and then shook his head. Those people probably wouldn't pay at all. They could just transfer his father away and replace him with someone from them.

What's the difference between paying for it and taking their lives?

It took more than a month from negotiation to completion of the deal, but it was finally done, so everyone gets what they want.

Now, Mr. Wei is not only the 100th household in the Baihu Office, but also the head of the land. Although Wei Wencai is nominally Wei Wencai, most of the time Wei Wencai still has to ask Mr. Wei for instructions before he can make a decision.

The reason why Wei Guangde took this job was actually a little selfish.

The eldest brother will definitely pursue a military career in the future. To be honest, Wei Guangde is not sure whether he can obtain the meritorious service. It would be better to leave a way out for himself.

One hundred households, I definitely can’t do it myself.

Then if you fail the imperial examination in the future, then you can be the head of the village by yourself, and you can always take care of the food, let alone guarding your eldest brother, life should be easier.

Now, the only dark cloud that still hangs over the Wei family in Bengshan Fort is the Jiujiang Wei side, regarding the redistribution of farmland.

The boss wants to re-divide the profits, and the people below will naturally understand, but what will happen in the end, naturally everyone will fight against their own little ninety-nine, no one wants to suffer a loss.

In fact, the Weisuo system has long been rotten from the beginning of the founding of the country to the present.

According to "History of the Ming Dynasty and Military Records II": "The world has been established, and the important points of the territory are to be controlled. Those who belong to a county will set up a place, and those who connect the counties will set up a guard. There will be 5,600 people for the guard, and 1,120 people for the thousand households." , there are two people in the hundred households. They set up two general flags and ten small flags, and the big and small are combined to form an army."

According to this establishment, the normal number of health centers in the world is 5,600 people, divided into five thousand-household offices. The thousand-household office has ten hundred-household offices under its jurisdiction, and each one hundred-household office has 112 people.

There are fifty hundred-household offices in the entire Jiujiang Guard, with a total of 5,600 soldiers.

After Wei Guangde came here, he also obtained this information from his elder brother. How could he have known these things before.

When nothing happened, Wei Guangde also compared it with later generations. The size of a reinforced brigade was almost half a division-level unit.

It looked very powerful, but after the last recruitment, he also heard from his father that the guard station could only pull out more than 2,000 people. In fact, it had changed from a strengthened brigade to a complete brigade-level organization.

In the past few days, as the contact with Wu Zhankui, the uncle of Qianhu Institute, increased, Wei Guangde also learned that the small Jiujiang Wei already had many mountaintops.

Of course, Shantou was definitely not involved in the Qianhu officialdom. He was only on the side of his father-in-law, Jiujiang Wei Tongzhi Zhang Qing.

Jiujiang Health has one commander, two commanders, and four commanders. However, there are only three commanders now, and there is still a vacancy that has not been filled.

Wei Guangde's uncle's father-in-law, Zhang Qing, was a commanding officer and was in charge of the weapons, training and other affairs of the garrison. He was considered an independent hilltop because he was also a hereditary commanding officer. As time went by, he naturally formed cliques.

As for the commanding officer that my uncle said, he was a transient official. Naturally, there were no factions in the guard station. He had only been in office for more than three years, and there was no time to cultivate party members.

Using the eldest brother Wei Wencai's marriage was just a test to see if he could win over Li Qiguang.

There is no telling how long such a wandering official can stay in Jiujiang Wei.

Maybe for life, or he may be transferred at any time.

However, as a commander, second only to the commander and the commander, he still has great power.

It is very difficult for a son of a small sixth-rank military officer to marry the daughter of a fourth-rank military officer, so at the beginning, my father and mother did not hold much hope, unless Wei Guangde could pass the imperial examination and become a juren, then the possibility would be a little greater.

The news from my uncle Wu Zhankui also echoed their judgment. The other party seemed very cold to the temptation. Although he did not directly refuse, you can tell by looking at his words.

There was no movement on the matter of military farms, which made Wei's father and others worried, and they didn't know when it would fall.

It was December, and the rumored news of the redistribution of military farms did not come down at the beginning. However, the old Wei family received the latest information from my uncle Wu Zhankui that the military farms would not be readjusted.

After receiving this information, Father Wei was first pleasantly surprised, then shocked, and hurried to the Qianhu Office to find his eldest brother-in-law to understand the situation.

After asking about the situation, he learned that it turned out that there was news from the capital last month that Emperor Jiajing wanted to check the guards in Nanjing.
