0391 It's hard to return home
Yanshan Manor covers a vast area, and at the beginning of the planning, Shen Zhezi borrowed the concept of a high-end community from later generations. The whole estate not only provides for residential needs, but also many other supporting facilities, all kinds of friends, gatherings, entertainment facilities.
The reason for this arrangement is not to please these residents, but simply to save land. A considerable part of the people who live here are Wuzhong families who live in Jingkou, and if they are allowed to build their own residences, then a few years ago, there would have been a scene of enclosure and self-fertilization in the southern suburbs of Beijing. The lack of a unified plan is not conducive to large-scale and planned development of land.
The manor economy, as an ecology, cannot be said to be completely without positive significance. In such turbulent times, the manor economy is undoubtedly much more resilient than small-scale operations.
Shen Zhezi saw with his own eyes that with the sweep of the Liyang rebels, the vast majority of small people were displaced, and there was no longer a stable production environment. However, there are still many estates in various regions that are guarded by the concentration of manpower, and small-scale production is carried out. This preserves the vitality of the entire society to a certain extent, and without the existence of these estates, it is almost impossible to maintain it with the current power of the imperial court.
Moreover, Jiangdong is vast and sparsely populated, and even in densely populated Wuzhong, it cannot be said that it has achieved complete development. At a time when the means of production of the small people are insufficient, and the imperial court does not have enough strength to organize large-scale development, the manor-style operation based on the clan unit is of positive significance for the development of the entire Jiangdong.
Of course, things must be seen from both sides, and if there were no credibility of these old clans in the north and south who wantonly embezzled population, land, and even society, the imperial court would not have become so weak, and it may not have been able to organize large-scale production and development.
The Three Kingdoms and even the early years of the Western Jin Dynasty, regardless of the official tun and the people, they still have strong vitality. And this way of tuntian is a more stringent personal control and exploitation for the small people. A large number of hoarders fled, and the family was overshadowed, which in turn contributed to the growth of the estate economy.
Shen Zhezi carried out cooperative production in Jingkou, and did not delegate the power to organize production to those clans, but the Shang Alliance managed these production units vertically. This avoids the control of the productive forces and the interception of the means of production by those people, which is already a great progress, at least in the system of business alliances, there will no longer be a middle class that is bullied and oppressed.
A good reform is not to create institutions or laws that do not exist in the first place, but to simplify the complex and eliminate the redundant parts of the original system, so as to improve the operational efficiency of the system.
The reason why the Han people were able to build a huge empire based on thousands of years of history and never moved towards a complete great division is that in addition to the resilience of the agrarian people and the cultural centripetal force, the ruling art of the household Qi people, which was created since the Qin and Han dynasties, has contributed a lot. Although there have been many reforms in later generations, in fact, everything has not deviated from its roots.
To break the situation of the ruling of the scholars, the elimination of the flesh is a very low-end means, as long as the entire social environment does not change, it will only be the scholars who will rise. Hou Jing, the general of the universe, killed the heavens and the earth, and in the end, he failed to kill Jiangdong in a clear world. There is destruction but no construction, and that is no different from a beast. People are human because they have more options to achieve their goals.
There are celebrities who have been drunk and singing for a long time, righteous men who have been playing with bullets, heroes who have reprimanded the eight poles, unswerving heroes, butchers who kill people like hemp, and beasts that destroy human nature. But in the eyes of the world, these people are just a colorful bubble, poking and bursting. Probably no one could have imagined that the opportunity to end the troubled times actually started with a not very brilliant Yuwentai.
From the very beginning of his stay in Beijing, Shen Zhezi was trying to strip away the production functions of those expatriate families, provide them with a better choice for making a living, pull them out of the self-sufficient manors, and let them see the huge benefits brought by capital circulation.
In the past, this structure worked very well, and many of the hermit families in Jingkou even took the initiative to strip off the population that depended on them to reduce the consumption of maintaining the family business. Reducing costs is an innate endowment of human beings, from cooperative hunting to tool making, and even social division of labor, they have been choosing the most suitable way of survival for themselves.
The influx of a large number of Qingxu overseas Chinese in Jingkou this time, followed by a wave of real estate enclosures, is not enough to show that Shen Zhezi's attempt failed. It can only be said that the vested interests in these current situations have a more superior position, and in addition to coveting the huge profits brought by the Hidden Lord, they do not give up reserving a way out for themselves.
Since returning to Jingkou in the afternoon, Shen Zhezi has been thinking about this problem, how to deal with the large-scale enclosure in the southern suburbs. If some peaceful ways can't solve it, even if he doesn't hesitate to use force, he will also beat those who build garden villas indiscriminately. Now he and the Shen family behind him are no longer the more important bargaining chips in the past, but already have their own basic power!
At present, politically and in terms of Qingwang, the Shen family may not be able to compare with an old wealthy family like the Langya Wang family, but his family also has advantages that the Wang family cannot match. Born in Jiangdong and deeply rooted in Wuzhong, his foundation is much stronger than that of the Wang family. This time, Director Wang is so eager to return to Jiankang, on the one hand, he focuses on the overall situation, and on the other hand, it also exposes the fate of the Wang family.
Today's Wang family is no longer the kind of "king and horse share the world" at the beginning of Nandu, and its strength is so strong that people feel desperate, and the essence of this counterinsurgency is fully exposed. If there is no Wang Dao's hard work, it will fall apart immediately.
has reached this point, how can Shen Zhezi be too weak in the face of the Wang family, and the necessary compromises related to all parties and the overall situation are still needed, but if it only involves the Langya Wang family, and even the Qingxu Qiaomen behind it, Shen Zhezi already has the confidence to touch it. In other words, if you're not useful to the current situation, then getting rid of you won't hurt the current situation!
Outside Yu Yi's temporary government office is a long corridor that crosses a small lake, and people are usually forbidden to enter and leave at will. Personally accompanied by Yu Yi, Shen Zhezi walked through the corridor and saw from a distance that the opposite side of the corridor was brightly lit and full of people.
"Someone walked out of the Protector's Office!"
"Let's take a look, is that a Shen Pony?"
At the end of the cloister was outside the cordon guarded by soldiers, and at this time it was already full of passers-by, all of whom were well-dressed and looked at their bearings. But at this moment, they all stretched out their heads and looked forward to the black corridor, and some even stepped onto the corridor despite the soldiers' obstruction, wanting to meet the person they were waiting for as soon as possible.
When Shen Zhezi entered Yanshan Manor, the news of his return quickly spread throughout Jingkou with the manor as the center. Then many people rushed to hear the news, but unfortunately Shen Zhezi had already entered the temporary Protector's Mansion, which made these people pounce.
As time passed, those who came earlier did not leave, but the followers continued to join in. Up to now, except for those who really can't pull away, almost half of the people with heads and faces in the entire Jingkou have gathered here!
Walking a few feet away from the end of the corridor, Shen Zhezi saw a figure hurriedly greet him, and when he got closer, he bent down to salute, and his tone revealed a deep joy: "Lang Jun is finally back!" ”
Hearing this voice, Shen Zhezi realized that the person who came was his personal attendant Liu Chang. Although Liu Chang is loyal, he is inferior in martial arts, and it is useless to bring him to the battlefield. Therefore, when Shen Zhezi led the army to Daye Pass earlier, he simply left it behind. Liu Chang has been by his side all these years, his vision is broad, his mind is lively, and with him staying to listen to and do things, Shen Zhezi can rest assured.
"I'm not going thousands of miles away, what's so strange about coming back."
Shen Zhezi scolded with a smile, he spent more time with Liu Chang than his family, putting aside the status of master and servant, there was a friendship similar to that of family. When Liu Chang got up and stood beside him, Shen Zhezi turned his head and smiled at Yu Yi: "Don't work for Uncle to send it away, wait until tomorrow and ask Uncle to talk about it." ”
Seeing that the Shen family had already caught up, Yu Yi also stopped. To be honest, he hoped to have a night talk with Shen Zhezi, and finally had a definite number of his future arrangements, and he had to ask Shen Zhezi about the great cause. But he also knew that Shen Zhezi had been away for a few months, and after he returned, he would definitely have a lot of other feelings to talk about with his family, and it was really inconvenient for him to disturb people's interest in the past. If he really offended his niece because of this, it would also be a trouble for Yu Yi.
Saying goodbye to each other, Shen Zhezi walked forward, but Liu Chang quickly pulled Shen Zhezi's sleeve, and said with a bitter face: "It's inconvenient to go out right now, and I ask Lang Jun to stay for a while." ”
Shen Zhezi couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, and then his face changed faintly: "Could it be that something happened at home?" ”
"There's nothing going on at home, but Lang Jun can't go home now. Those people outside were all waiting to see Lang Jun, and the servants had squeezed in recently or Sergeant Duolao to help. ”
Although Liu Chang's tone was helpless, his eyebrows had been raised, and when he squeezed in earlier, he saw many people outside, including many of whom wanted Lang Jun to visit him before, but now he was waiting outside in person and could not see him, which shows that his Lang Jun is indeed not what it used to be.
When Shen Zhezi heard this, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly. Yu Yi in the rear came up again after hearing this, and joked with envy: "It seems that the big name is also very enjoyable, and it is common for Wei Zhou to break the formation and kill the chieftain, but now it is difficult to return home." ”
Shen Zhezi laughed, and felt a little proud in his heart. But he didn't get carried away, so many people rushed to greet him when they heard the news, in addition to his own fame, there was probably no lack of people who wanted to inquire about the situation in Jiankang as soon as possible.
However, after being proud, Shen Zhezi couldn't help but feel a little distressed, seeing the dark crowd under the lights in front of him, he could imagine that he would inevitably fall into the sea of the people once he moved forward, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to get out tonight. But what's the fun with these people, there are still beautiful ladies and pretty maids waiting for a goodbye in his family! Seeing that the crowd had not dispersed for a short time, and seemed to be gathering more and more, Shen Zhezi gradually realized what it was like to see Wei Jue killed.
Just as they were hesitating, Shen Zhezi and the others suddenly heard a loud noise from the crowd in front of them, and then many people seemed to be disturbed, shouting and hiding elsewhere. Not long after, after the dispersed crowd, a gorgeous ox cart drove out, and several strong men with soldiers in their arms surrounded the ox cart and shouted: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess welcomes the horses back to the house, the sword has no eyes, and the idlers avoid it!" ”
Hearing that roar, Shen Zhezi's face suddenly darkened. He really didn't expect that he just wanted to go home, and he actually had to charge with a knife and a gun!
