More than one hundred stone grains, that is, more than ten thousand kilograms, and more than one hundred bags of 120 kilograms per bag, and the neat codes were placed in front of the official hall of the hundreds of households.

This yard is the core of the entire hundred households and is also one of the few tiled houses.

There is a large open space outside the door, made of rammed earth. After at least two hundred years, the ground was trampled by countless people, and even if it rained all day, it would not be able to get any mud.

Entering from the gate is a martial arts hall, with three halls in the middle, which is also a public office for hundreds of households. The wing rooms on both sides were originally places where the officials in charge of the officials in the lower houses were in charge of the affairs of the hundreds of households. The opposite wing rooms were warehouses for storing armies. Each guard commanded and the thousand guards had an ordnance bureau, and each guard also had a warehouse for storing weapons. Each guard had the task of making weapons, armor, bows and arrows, but now the weapons received by each guard were less and less.

Going further inside, there is an inner courtyard, which also has a main room and a matching room such as a horse-dressed thatched cottage. This is where the entire official hall is located.

The Min family inherited military positions, which were 100 households. After two hundred years, more than one ancestors came to the position of commander, co-guild, and commander of the guards, but what was really left in their hands was the 100 households' national positions and official offices.

The couplets in the middle courtyard prove that these are the rest of the tides of more than two hundred years.

Standing in front of the official hall, Min Yuanqi sighed that the courtyard in front of him represents power and inheritance. Even hundreds of years later, many places also have titles such as Guanting Town and Guanting Village. He is now the owner of this building. These poor, thin and hungry people in front of him are his subordinates and his responsibility.

This kind of thing is hard to explain, but just like Min Yuanqi may starve to death if he doesn't appear for more than ten days. If he doesn't take responsibility like this, it will be illusory. If he holds it on his shoulders, it will be heavy and heavy.

No one dared to say anything, only Han Sen stood on the stone steps at Min Yuanqi's head, slightly lower than Min Yuanqi.

"All grains are divided by households, whether they are the canal transport troops or those who stay at home to cook salt, the flag army will all lead eight dou." Min Yuanqi stood up with a knife and shouted: "Each small flag official receives two stones. This time he sends salt, buys grain, runs back and forth with boats, and fights with outsiders. All the small flags have made contributions, so the officials are rewarded."

More than 100 stones of grain were distributed in this way, and a hundred stones were directly divided.

Han Sen was stunned, Min Yuanjin, Liang Shifa and others were also a little confused while being surprised.

This point was divided into two parts of Min Yuanqi's own.

As for how much Han Sen gets and how many small flags each have, the usual rules are determined by hundreds of households. This is the case. The greater the officials, the more they earn, just like the land acres. The military officers at the command level of the garrison were divided directly into 50%. Who dares to be serious with these high-ranking officials?

"The Han General Banner worked hard for a year to go north last year, but there was no more benefit. I left two stones and gave it to the Han General Banner." Min Yuanqi continued: "I will add three stones and the Han General Banner will be divided into five stones."

"Hundred Houses," Liang Shifa couldn't help but say, "You have to use your own grain storage?"

Min Yuanjin also said: "Sir, you don't have much food either."

The few small flag officials behind Han Sen looked awkward. They usually followed Han Sen. Although Min Yuanqi was a hundred households, they were more emotionally close to Han Sen. However, this time, the 100 households distributed the grain, and all the small flag officials received two stones. You should know that the small flag officials in the garrison had no status. They usually cooked salt and farmed like the flag army, and there was no possibility of eating more. At most, they would bully the flag army under their command and gained some insignificant benefits. This time the two stones of grain was enough for the family to eat one more month. In the spring famine, this is very likely to be life-saving food.

This kindness was ahead, and they wanted to speak for Mr. Han, but for a moment, they couldn't open their mouths.

Han Sen also had a red face... He wanted to refuse, but his general banner was not rich. Over the past few decades, the court has been using troops continuously, and the military pay of the battalion has accounted for 70% to 80% of the financial expenses. The court had already overdrawn its financial expenses, and even the food pay of the battalion was gradually unable to guarantee it. From the Wanli period to Chongzhen, the battalion mutiny. The garrison was even poorer, and the flag soldiers either fled or struggled to support it. For families like the Min family, Min Yuanqi now has less than 100 taels of property. The many previous accumulations have been almost consumed in the long period of decades.

This is true for the ward family. As a commander, there are the benefits of commanding, and if you don’t command, you will withdraw. Over the past few decades, the Min family’s popularity has gradually declined, and its wealth has also shrunk significantly.

Min Yuanqi smiled slightly and said, "I see how hard Mr. Han Qi is, so there is no need to refuse. After each family receives the grain, let's stop the matter of frying salt. After two days of rest, we will start building a reservoir."

Han Sen hesitated for a moment, but still clasped his fists and said, "I thanked the Lord of the Hundred Houses, so I feel ashamed of receiving it."

Many people were still confused and didn't know what Min Yuanqi meant, but it was true that the hundred households distributed grain to everyone. Under the leadership of Liang Shifa and others, the two ten small flags under the general public lined up separately, and everyone lined up in an orderly queue and began to distribute grain before the hundred households' official hall.

It took more than an hour to divide the more than one hundred stone grains. Everyone smiled on their faces. The first batch of them were already impatient to go home and catch a fire to cook. By the evening, the whole household was filled with the aroma of smoke and rice.

Min Yuanqi's family had no servants to serve him. When his parents were alive, a family in the family joined him as a servant. This was also a common thing at that time. Poor families were repaid as slaves at the homes of gentry and students, using this to exempt them from being employed and also pay for wages.

There is also an additional benefit to being a servant in a powerful house, at least you can pretend to be a tiger.

When Min Qianli passed away, the family left directly. If you invest in a thousand households, you will still have a future. A young man who has just started his post will try out a hundred households. He doesn't know which day he will get.

Min Yuanqi did not make things difficult for the family. This situation was too normal in the late Ming Dynasty. The powerful gentry bullied the people, and the cunning slaves bullied the superiors and concealed the subordinates. The superiors and subordinates were both left and right. Just like officials from the six ministries, they were in charge of ministries and kept the officials' will. They said they were officials, but their real power was still above officials.

The courtyard was empty and the courtyard was empty. Even the small flag officials were in a hurry to go home and share the joy with their families.

The surroundings were deserted, and the joy and loyalty of the people just now faded away like a tide.

Min Yuanqi was not surprised, and he would not complain. He gave not much food, but all of it was brown rice, and it was the reward for the hard work of the flag army and his family members to fry salt. Min Yuanqi just returned the portion that the flag army deserved, using the gift method.

The flag soldiers are not stupid, and they will only repay their loyalty if they get the benefits.

Min Yuanqi didn't expect everyone in the hundred households to be loyal to him now. He would harvest a large number of loyal subordinates after giving away food. How could this be possible?

Li Junsun and Wang Wumai did not leave either. They were nominally servants, but their performance was quite poor this time. Min Yuanqi fought with the salt dick alone, and neither of them dared to help. Their father and grandparents became servants of the ancestors of the Min family during the Wanli period of Jiajing. Then this identity was inherited. They had originally changed their surnames to Min, and they were allowed to change their original surnames from the previous generation.

After raising him for decades, he changed his surname and was very kind, but both of them were very young, not a few years older than Min Yuanqi. In a hurry, neither of them dared to help.

This time, the two of them had to share the grain this time, just like ordinary flag soldiers. According to the past practice, they treated the same as the small flag officials.

"Hmm?" Min Yuanqi looked at the two of them and frowned slightly.

"Head of the Family." Li Junsun's heart trembled. He had never seen Min Yuanqi's expression without anger before, but it has been often seen in recent days. Invisibly, he felt afraid.

"Head of the family." Wang Wumai also said with great difficulty: "The Min family has been kind to my family for generations. The last time the wharf was against Yanding, I was timid for a moment and didn't dare to come forward. I was really ashamed..."

Li Junsun also said: "Please ask the head of the family to punish us heavily, otherwise I will feel uneasy. After I go home, I am afraid that my father will beat me to death if he knows."

Li Junsun's father, Li Qizhu, was over 70 years old and had given birth to Li Junsun at almost fifty. The old man worked for the Min family for most of his life. When he was young, he followed the ancestors of the Min family to prepare for Japanese devils and faced offensive Japanese pirates many times at Yuntiguan. He is one of the few old people with practical experience in Dahewei now.

Li Qizhu loves Li Junsun like a treasure, and it is impossible to kill him. However, with the old man's violent temperament and the ethics of veterans, I heard that the servants dare not protect the head of the family, and I am afraid that Li Junsun will be beaten up.

"I don't care enough for you." Min Yuanqi sighed and said to the two servants who bowed and apologized, "According to the rules, I will give you at least two stones of grain per month, and three taels of silver, but over the past ten years, my family's family has been almost exhausted. The original ten households are only two of you, and you will only give you one or two more stones of grain by the end of the year, and you two have no complaints... You are wrong about this time, but you have never recognized it.

If you really practice martial arts, you will be able to survive the body and courage, and you have not yet entered the battle formation, it is not an exaggeration to experience this matter. However, this matter is indispensable. If you still consider yourself a servant of my Min family, you will come to the guards early from tomorrow to practice martial arts seriously. If you encounter dangerous things again, I will be able to come forward to fight for your life with the order. If you can't do it, don't keep the name of the servants. Like ordinary flag soldiers, I will not make things difficult for you, and I will do my best to the past."

Li Junsun and Wang Wumai were actually quite uneasy. As servants, they watched the head of the family fall into a dangerous situation of being besieged. In the following days, Min Yuanqi ignored these two people and received eight dou of food like ordinary flag soldiers. The two people were uneasy. When they heard Min Yuanqi's words, the two men in their twenties felt a sore nose...

"Head of the family," Li Junsun said in a deep voice: "Even if I use my knife head to put it on, I will not deserve to be a man if I frown."
