Du Zhongxiao returned to the field, and the cut grain was hugged by his entourage, and Bao Zhengcai commanded the people in the village to enter the field with a sickle.

Bao Zheng lit a plate of incense and came up to Du Zhongxiao: "Xie Guanren comes to cut the grain in person, and there will be a good harvest." Harvesting the grain is like a war, and the official order has been given, please return to the village. At night, they will drink meat and celebrate with the officials. ”

Du Zhongxiao returned the salute and asked Chai Xin and his entourage to hold the three bundles of new grain they had cut, and returned to the village first.

The plate of incense that Bao Zheng lit was used to keep time, and there was no mistake in starting to move the sickle, how many hours to rest after that, and then starting to work. Those who go down to the ground to cut the grain have a record of how many rows each person has cut, and they must keep a count. When the new rice comes out, the taxes are paid, and the amount is left for storage in the fields, and the rest is divided among the laborers, according to the number of each person's labor. The villagers accounted for about 40% of the total production.

It is said that Yingtianwu has the ancient meaning of Jingtian, which is what it means. Now everyone harvests the public land in the village, which is a collective property and is grown using cattle and farming tools owned by the collective. In addition to the public land, each family has its own private land, and each grows crops according to his wishes, including vegetable plots. At present, the land is generally distributed according to the ratio of 50 mu of public land and 5 mu of private land per household, and any land exceeding this amount is wasteland and cannot be reclaimed privately. This is a variant of the public field and the private field under the Ida system, and the model of the Ida system of the flat land and the flat land is often said by readers of this era. It's just that in the field work, the ratio of public land and private land under the well field system is reversed, and the public field is paid for labor, instead of unpaid labor.

The Song Dynasty did not establish the land system, did not suppress the annexation, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the land annexation will be powerful, the so-called rich Tian Lian Qianmo, the poor have no place to stand. A large number of contradictions in the countryside have arisen as a result of land annexation, and the harm is not only known to later generations, but also to the ancients. There has been no shortage of people who have called for equal land for decades. The method proposed by Li Jing and others was to learn the well field system of the pre-Qin period.

In Du Zhongxiao's previous life, history textbooks bound the Jingtian system to slavery, and those who advocated the retro Jingtian system were regarded as turning back on history and wanted to be criticized. In fact, the Jingtian system in this era had nothing to do with slavery, and the general trend in the Song Dynasty was to abolish the slavery system, and all economic relations were replaced by the employment system. The well field system mentioned in this era is actually the system implemented by Du Zhongxiao in the camp field, with public land and private land, and village communities for management. This system is very similar to the rural system in Du Zhongxiao's previous life, which has a long history in China. The Song Dynasty was more special, it was a relationship between village and community, and the land was state-owned under the Tang Dynasty's Juntian system, which was transformed into a clan direction.

At this time, the "Spring and Autumn Period" is one of the Five Classics, which belongs to the core content of the culture. "Spring and Autumn" is not a simple history book, because it was sharpened by Confucius, and its more important role is to show values. Du Zhongxiao didn't understand this phenomenon at first, but slowly integrated into this society, and compared with the education in his previous life, he understood the meaning. History lessons from previous lives, including a large number of historical works, have actually gone through the same process. That is, to carry out large-scale brushwork on the history of China, based on theories transmitted from the West, and with reference to the development of Western society. In the previous life, the New Culture Movement was actually a movement that began to sharpen Chinese tradition and culture, as well as its history, from a Western point of view. It follows two basic principles: one is that all the institutions and cultures in China's history are the reasons why later generations lag behind the West, and if China was far ahead of the world in that historical period, then this leadership will cause obstacles to change; Second, history must advance in a single line, the latter dynasty must be more advanced than the previous dynasty, and the last dynasty must be the pinnacle of ancient history. In this way, Chinese history is connected into a straight line that sets into primitive society, slave society, and feudal society, and an arrow is added to this straight line.

Realizing this, Du Zhongxiao understood that he could not use the knowledge in history textbooks in his previous life to understand the world. Because there is no West in this world that is temporarily ahead of China, the real history has not been sharpened, and following the textbook will only lead to a dead end.

Whether it is the collapse of the rural state-owned and collective economic forms under the equal-land system, or the long-term existence of the clan commune system, we should not regard this existence as the root cause of all evil that caused China to lag behind the West in the later years because primitive society also had a commune system. When you fall behind, you must find the reason from that time, and you can't blame everything on your ancestors.

After all, the land system should adapt to economic development, not the other way around. Even in Du Zhongxiao's previous life, the land reform of dividing the land soon transitioned to the commune, and soon became a joint production contract responsibility system, and soon became a single household. Over the decades, the land system has changed dramatically. Even the individual families soon could not hold on, and they re-searched for a system of land concentration.

At this time, it was nothing but a delusion to think that long-term peace and stability in the rural areas could be achieved by relying on a land system. What Du Zhongxiao really wants to bring to this era is to develop industry and commerce, let the peasants continue to transfer to industry, increase agricultural productivity, and make the peasants better and better. At the same time, the development of industry and commerce can give the accumulation of agriculture a direction of investment, and will not inflate the value of land and run rampant with usury.

It doesn't matter what kind of land system it is, as long as it doesn't hinder the development of industry and commerce, it's enough. As for referring to European history, it is not advisable to mechanically engage in the enclosure movement, create large farmers, and artificially aggravate the suffering of the people at the bottom, and call it an evil that cannot be done. With the scientific knowledge of later generations, knowing the general direction of social progress, and harming the people of this era, Du Zhongxiao can't do this kind of thing.

It was Confucianism who accepted the historical view of the Spring and Autumn Period, and it was natural that a certain view of Chinese history that had been sharpened by the pen of the previous life also represented a political position. When Du Zhongxiao came to this world, there was no need to accept the political stance of Westerners in his previous life. Why is the canonical history a chronicle? Because it is necessary to make a final conclusion on the coffin of historical figures. There is no need to be more detailed in the history books of the chronicles, and to understand the society and life of a dynasty, it is natural to have other historical materials to supplement it.

Back at the camp and field affairs yamen, Chai Xin led people to bring back the millet and rub out the rice one by one. This is the new valley, and it was cut back by the magistrate himself, and the first thing to sacrifice to the gods is. Everything has Cheng Yi, but there is no need to worry about Du Zhongxiao.

Chang Wei and the others on the side looked at it coldly, they were completely outsiders. They didn't know why Du Zhongxiao personally cut the grain, a dignified county, how to do what those inferior people did.

Rubbing out the rice, making it cooked, Du Zhongxiao asked Chai Xin to call Bao Zheng back.

A few fresh vegetables, accompanied by freshly cooked rice, is today's lunch. After packing up, Du Zhongxiao said to Chang Wei: "Director, this is this year's new rice, come and taste it together." ”

Chang Wei pouted: "No wine and no meat, how can you eat?" We are all laymen, we don't fast! ”

Du Zhongxiao's face sank, and said, "I still have to worship the gods tonight, so what's the harm if you don't use wine and meat for a day or two?" ”

Chang Wei sneered: "Then don't worry about Lao Zhi County, we have to bring wine and meat, and we can eat it ourselves!" ”

After speaking, he and Qiu Shilong took another table, took the wine and meat they brought over, and ate and drank happily.

Du Zhongxiao's face was very ugly, he thought about it and thought about it, but after all, he still endured it and didn't do anything to Chang Wei. Xia Zhu specially wrote a letter, no matter how he wanted to give him this face, as long as Chang Wei and the others did not act more outrageously, Du Zhongxiao had no choice but to treat it as if he didn't see it.

People must have a sense of awe, Du Zhongxiao is the head of a county, and he must follow the customs of this era, collect new rice and sacrifice to the god of grain, no matter what he thinks in his heart, at least he must complete the procedure to calm the hearts of everyone.
