Farmer of Shu Han - Chapter 1276
In the early years when Feng opened a workshop and built a school in Nanxiang, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty once made a deduction of Feng’s approach.
Then draw a very horrifying conclusion:
Feng is trying to forcibly create a group of good families.
Then, the prime minister wanted to see what step Feng could do, so he gave the green light.
First, a Nanxiang County was given a try.
Later found out, yo ho, the boy is not bad!
So another county was given to Yuexuan County, which was even more decentralized than Nanxiang County.
Naturally, Mr. Feng did not live up to the prime minister’s hope. Both Nanxiang and Yuexuan have handed over a satisfactory answer sheet.
Only then did he become the governor of Liangzhou later.
Although the prime minister did not say anything, his attitude was self-evident:
Funk it, do it hard, I will give you the bottom line in the back.
Don’t blame the prime minister for being like this, it is really going against the sky to fight against the twelve states of Wei with one state.
And Feng can make one Yizhou have the power of two states, then I will add another Liangzhou for you, isn’t that… four states?
The Wei State on the opposite side lost another Liangzhou.
Not to mention the fine horses produced in Liangzhou, one plus one is greater than two.
This addition and subtraction, coupled with the alliance with the Wu State, pinches the Wei State, and the outcome is 50-50, isn’t it too much?
Feng did not disappoint the prime minister, he was powerful, he managed Qiang and Hu, connected the Western Regions, developed water conservancy, planned grasslands, opened workshops,…
A few years later, an army of tens of thousands of cavalry was pulled up to cooperate with the Hanzhong army, one east and one west, and whales swallowed Guanzhong and Bingzhou.
The general trend of the world has completely changed.
After this battle, there was a saying among the big men:
“Nanxiang son, sharpen the world; Yue Yulang, fearless in battle; Liangzhou Hu, blood of the Han family.”
It’s not that the Hanzhong army led by the prime minister is not good, but that Feng and his Liangzhou army performed in this battle, which is comparable to the former Han champion Hou Yi, which is really amazing.
Of course, in the evaluation of later generations, Feng’s battle is naturally slightly inferior to the champion Hou.
Because the opponents are different.
One is external and the other is internal.
One is to expand the territory, and the other is to regain the homeland.
But in the eyes of the prime minister and Liu Adou, this is the champion Hou and the general (ie Wei Qing) of my Great Jihan!
And it’s two in one.
Nanxiangzi and Yuexuanlang needless to say, they were the sons of a good family forcibly created by someone Feng in his early years.
As for “Liangzhou Hu, the blood of the Han family”, you can say that it is the Liangzhou Qiang Hu who bleeds and sacrificed for the Han family.
It can also be understood that the Liangzhou Qianghu is of the same blood as the Han family – this is a historical fact.
And it can also be explained that the Han family did not hesitate to reward the Hu people in Liangzhou with Chinese books.
In many cases, Hu’er is much more loyal than some Han people, and giving them a title can be regarded as giving them something to look forward to.
These beards who are loyal to the Han Dynasty—no matter why they are loyal—in fact, they can also be included in the class of good families created by Feng, at least they are the backup of good families.
So how are these good families built?
Naturally, it was created by breaking the resource monopoly of the aristocratic family and giving the head of the head and the head of the Guizhou the opportunity to receive education and the channel to rise.
At the same time, while breaking the monopoly, suppress and dismember the aristocratic families, and let the status of those aristocratic families sink.
With this up and down, isn’t the class of good families expanding?
As for the upper and lower, the two classes that could never meet in the first place, will there be sparks or something…
Someone Feng said, is human nature something I can decide and control?
So, even Feng Chuan subconsciously felt that there was something wrong with this meatloaf that still exuded the smell of warm oil.
But seeing the two sisters staring at it eagerly, the saliva almost flowed out.
Especially Erniang, who carried the meatloaf in her mouth, and brought it back without touching it.
How much perseverance is this?
Feng Chuan felt sad and sour again.
Gritting his teeth:
“It’s okay, eat, eat while it’s hot!”
What is the reputation of the Shangdang family?
What kind of aristocratic style?
Not as important as your own family.
Not to mention, the mastermind’s descendants ran away with the Wei thief, but left them as collateral to offset the crime.
It’s really a group of scumbags!
There must be children from aristocratic families who stick to their beliefs, but Feng Chuan is not included.
Feng Sanniang cheered, and then she was inattentive. The crystal saliva couldn’t be controlled, and finally flowed out from the corner of her mouth.
The patty was divided into four, and everyone took a small piece.
Feng Sanniang stuffed it into her mouth impatiently.
“Woooo… delicious!”
With bulging cheeks, it is rare to be able to squeeze out a few words.
Feng Sanniang ate the fastest, she swallowed it all, she seemed reluctant to part with it, and then, as if regurgitating, she took another sip from her throat and chewed carefully.
Feng Erniang is much more elegant.
Although he was in front of his own family, he still covered his mouth with one hand. Even if he looked from the side, he was biting his small mouth carefully.
The ladylike temperament of a lady from a good family is revealed through these inadvertent little actions.
Even so, Feng Erniang’s speed is actually not slow.
“This meatloaf is delicious, and our family has never eaten it like this before.”
On the one hand, it’s because I haven’t known the taste of meat for a long time, on the other hand, the Roujiamo outside the Great Wall is really delicious.
Yellow sheep or processed mutton, three parts fat and seven parts lean, minced, marinated, and then stir-fried in a large iron pan.
Mo is made of pure wheat flour, and the taste is much better than steamed buns made of yutou flour.
Although there are many cattle and sheep in Jiuyuan, and there is no shortage of meat, this kind of meat cakes are often used to reward soldiers.
But those who can give it away at any time, their status in the army, at least Qu Changtun will go up.
Because only senior generals and above are eligible to eat this stuff every three days.
After eating the meatloaf, and sharing the porridge, what was placed in front of Feng Chuan’s family of four was the issue of livelihood.
The government issued a one-month ration, but only a one-month ration, and this ration will have to be paid back later.
The basic necessities of life in the future, the family must find a way to work by themselves, otherwise they will starve to death and freeze to death.
In Jiuyuan, you don’t have to worry about not having a job.
I’m afraid you won’t want to do it.
Feng Chuan’s mother and two younger sisters were all arranged to work as female workers in the textile workshop.
When men farm and women weave, women can weave, that is the most basic requirement.
Even General Guan once learned from the prime minister’s wife about female celebrities.
As for Feng Chuan, who has no technical skills and is only “proficient in literature and ink, and is currently studying “The Analects of Confucius” and “Spring and Autumn”, he has more choices.
Farm farming, workshop handyman, pasture mowing and cattle herding…
Of course, if you are willing to work as a miner in the mine, you are more than welcome.
Exile, isn’t that a prisoner?
The big man is very humane, as long as it is not a capital offense, he is allowed to make amends.
There are places to receive you.
Especially in places like Jiuyuan, people are not afraid that there will be no place to work, but they will be afraid that there will be no one to work.
What, you said you wanted to run away?
Let’s not talk about what to do with your family, just talk about this vast grassland, where can you go?
Running out of the jurisdiction of the government is not a question of reforming oneself, but a question of how to survive under the siege of nature, wild beasts, barbarians, etc.
It would be even more ridiculous to talk about running south and back to Senai.
Is it true that Ji Han is joking about restoring the village system of Qin and former Han for so many years?
Don’t look at the workshops everywhere, but for labor…
Phew!
Wrong, it is a hunger for labor.
Theoretically speaking, it is definitely hoped that the labor force can flow freely.
But in fact, as Ji Han’s control over the local grassroots continues to strengthen, the household registration system has not been relaxed, but has become more stringent.
Because for the imperial court, the household registration is a key, or a valve. Only by mastering it can the imperial court flexibly adjust the direction of labor flow.
To give the most obvious example, Liangzhou and Hedong.
Liangzhou needs a certain amount of free labor, so if conditions are met, Hu people can register on the workshop grassland and become glorious Dahan workshop laborers.
Hedong is different. It pays more attention to the implementation of new policies such as the sharing of land into acres, the restoration of the small peasant economy, and the further binding of labor to the land.
The different directions of emphasis are precisely because the situations of the two places are different.
This is also the imperial court, to be precise, someone Feng did it on purpose.
Even if workshopization cannot be called industrialization, even the most elementary industrialization cannot be called.
But for this era, large-scale workshops are also a manifestation of accelerated productivity.
And every leap in productivity does not happen for no reason.
It is not something that can be done smoothly by itself.
The relationship between sheep and humans is just a typical microcosm.
Someone Feng can make sheep and people, grass and people, and even land and people appear in a certain place, but this situation is absolutely not allowed to happen in the whole territory of Dahan.
And these things must be within the controllable range.
Because of this drastic change involving the social level, if one is not careful, chaos and even turmoil will occur.
By that time, the foreign thieves have not been wiped out, and Ji Han can’t control the inside, so he has to blow himself up if he can’t say it.
So it is only natural to continue to push the control of the imperial court down to the localities, check the population, and tighten the household registration.
Where there is a shortage of labor, let go of the valve and guide the flow of excess labor in another place.
If it is no longer needed, just close the valve. Even if it explodes, it is only local and will not affect the overall situation.
So those who were exiled to Jiuyuan, even if they were lucky enough to return to the Great Wall, the first thing they had to face was the increasingly strict rural system.
Of course, it doesn’t matter if you want to hide in the mountains and become a savage.
If it turns out to be bandits, then wait for the government to come to encircle and suppress…
Then why not stay in Jiuyuan and work hard!
At any rate, after five years, there is hope, and there is no need to lose family members.
“The contract is such a contract. No matter where you want to go to work, you must first pay back what you owe to the government.”
“From the date of repayment of the debt, within five years, half of the income will belong to the government and half to yourself.”
Women usually go to textile workshops, but this is a high-quality female worker who can go to work directly with a little training.
Unlike Hu Nu, clumsy.
As for men, it depends on their own choice.
However, regardless of gender, the treatment is very kind.
Rehabilitation, it’s not bad to count your salary.
And it’s actually a 50-50 split.
It is basically three to seven points if it is replaced by the farmers in the territory of the Wei thief.
And there are so many types of jobs for people to choose.
Of course, this is also for long-term considerations. After all, if you want people to take root in the frontier, you must have sweetness.
“After thinking about it, sign the contract!”
A row of desk chairs, behind each tall desk sits Shu Cao Guanshi, representing different workshops.
Without much hesitation, Feng Chuan chose to sign a document with the farm of Xinghanhui.
After all, he is known as the heir of farming and studying, and Feng Chuan is somewhat familiar with farming.
I have never eaten pork, and I have seen pigs run.
In the days that followed, Feng Chuan’s family officially settled down in Jiuyuan.
Life is very hard. Although no matter whether it is a workshop or a farm, it is said that food and shelter are included, but the common people and vegetables are sure.
Not only do you have to work every day, but you rarely have the opportunity to meet your family.
Especially for newcomers like Feng Chuan, if they don’t perform well, they will live and eat on the farm and cannot go out, let alone rest days.
The fifth year of Yanxi was a good year, at least there were no major natural disasters in the first half of the year.
The borders of the Han, Wei and Wu kingdoms were also rarely calm, with no human disasters.
In Jiuyuan at the end of May, the sun was high and the sky was blue. Feng Chuan was wearing rough clothes, waving farm tools, sweating profusely, and worked hard in the farmland.
Being exposed to the wind and sun for more than two months, his skin has darkened a lot, his hands have calluses, and he is proficient in operating farm tools.
Sometimes they would bend down and squat down to remove the weeds from the roots of the crops.
The farmland in Jiuyuan is mostly mixed with wheat and soybeans.
Feng Chuan’s face was punctured with thin red marks, but he was obviously used to it, as if he didn’t notice it.
“Brother, brother!”
A woman’s voice came from a distance, full of joy.
The people who work on this farm are basically rough men. At this time, when they hear the voice of a woman, no matter whether they are working or not, they can’t help but look up.
What Feng Chuan saw was a woman standing on a field ridge not far away, raising her hand and waving desperately towards her.
Beside her stood the farm steward and a young man she didn’t know.
“Feng Bomao, I’m looking for you!”
The farm steward yelled loudly.
Feng Chuan was allowed to rush over.
Because the woman is none other than Feng Erniang.
“Second Mother!”
“Brother!”
Feng Chuan ran over from the field ridge and looked at Feng Erniang in disbelief, “You, why are you here?”
On the other side, the young man who accompanied Feng Erniang thanked the farm steward.
The farm steward waved his hand, and just said:
“For your sake, make an exception, half an hour!”
The young people bowed again and again, smiling:
“Thank you, thank you, thank you for your success!”
The farm steward glanced at Feng Erniang, then at the young man, smiled strangely, turned and left.
“Li, Li Langjun, this is my elder brother.”
After the farm steward left, Feng Erniang introduced them, “Brother, this is Li Langjun.”
Feng Erniang said, a faint blush appeared on her face that was not easy to detect.
“Jian, I met Feng Langjun.”
Feng Chuan absently returned the gift.
His gaze has been patrolling back and forth between his second mother and Li Jian.
When he saw Erniang’s slightly shy expression, his heart immediately “thumped”.
“Brother, thanks to Li Langjun, if it weren’t for his help, I wouldn’t be able to ask for leave to come and see you.”
Before elder brother asked, Feng Erniang explained a sentence without silver three hundred taels.
Looking at Li Jian’s straight and straight figure, and a long knife with a style slightly different from ordinary swords hanging on his waist.
Although it is a common casual dress here in Jiuyuan, Feng Chuan is no longer a rookie who has just arrived in Jiuyuan.
He could tell at a glance that the guy opposite him was from the military.
Enduring the unknown bad mood, Feng Chuan thanked Li Jian:
“Thank you Li Langjun for taking care of Erniang.”
“Feng Langjun is being polite, Jian and Erniang, cough,” Li Jian subconsciously glanced at Feng Erniang, “I saw it, and it was like old friends at first sight. It’s just a little effort, why should I thank you?”
Feng Erniang looked even more shy.
Feng Chuan twitched.
Cao!
