Chapter 272: Spring in the Clouds (3)

Her thoughts are always strange, and sometimes she is too vague and quick to think, but they all end up around her dreams.

Back in the city, the largest pile of houses is the temporary residence of these people here, from Zhao Wugong to build Yunzhong City has now passed five years, the people of the Mo family have long been active here, selling goods, and building some houses early.

The outside of the house was a muddy wall, and the innermost room, where the girls lived, was the back door, the only hospital in Cloudsdale that could treat some simple ailments.

The inkman in the medical hall came early, and now he is married and lives here.

There were three other women who lived with the gentleman, either who had studied medicine, or who worked as a teacher here, and one who was in charge of the accounts.

There are unspoken rules within the Mo family, and the few professions that do not have physical strength, the same level is generally given to women, such as teachers, accountants, etc.

The house they lived in was already quite good in Cloud City, but it was much worse than some brick houses in Sishang City.

The gentleman pushed open the wooden door tied with a layer of hay and entered the house, and it was dark and only a few fires came from the wall near the east side, which was a simple stove near the wall.

In some of the brick and stone houses in Takayanagi, the flue of the stove is usually followed by a middle partition wall, so that the whole house is warm.

However, the population here in the cloud is still small, the industry and commerce are underdeveloped, the land is vast, and there are not so many industrial and commercial manpower, so it is not possible to build a hollow hot smoke wall that requires a certain amount of technology, so you can only choose to put the flue of the furnace in the easternmost place, in fact, half of the heat runs outside, which is really a waste but there is not much way.

On the fire was a small iron pot with a lid made of reeds, in which hot water was boiling, and beside it were four long-awaited pottery cups.

The gentleman walked to his bedside, took out a small box with patent leather from a cloth bag made of hard linen, carefully pinched out a little tea and put it in his cup, and asked the teacher, who was reading a pamphlet by the fire, "What are you looking at?" ”

The governess closed the thin pages of paper, shook them in front of the fire, rubbed her reddened eyes slightly, and said, "I'm reading Poems." ”

At this time, the name that exists, the name, is actually the story.

The so-called "family flow, cover from the barnyard officials; Street talk, hearsay made by hearsay", in fact, it is somewhat similar to what Qiu Guan Xiao Situ did, that is, to collect some stories in the market, but to spread them.

This book is actually to tell some stories in the "Book of Songs", and to write some of the widely sung "poems" into detailed stories that everyone in the city likes to see.

The earliest stories in it were suitable for writing, using many strange techniques at this time, such as "heart path", "heart thoughts" and some psychological descriptions, and then some of the "leisure" class in Sishang learned to try to start writing some stories, all of which were very short, but somewhat had the appearance of market literature.

Mr. Female Teacher, closed the small booklet that had been circulated I don't know how many times, and it was already a little damaged, and suddenly asked: "You said that the hooligan hugged the cloth trade silk, and finally became like that, which is really unpredictable." That woman is also miserable......"

As soon as the gentleman heard it, she knew that she should be watching the little story adapted from "Wei Feng and Hooligans", and couldn't help but think of a sentence that was said to be said by the two gentlemen who were suitable when she was in the school when she was in the "Female Virtue" class.

"Dreams are good, but money is important. You can't dream without money. ”

She remembered that when she was in school, her female Mr. De also told her the article "Hooligans", using the example of the rewritten short work, and couldn't help but recall the words she learned at that time: "If she had money and could support herself, she would have been separated from her man a long time ago." It doesn't matter if she finds another one that is good for her, or if she lives alone, she will always have money. ”

"What can you do if you don't have money? Either there is no way to go back, or go back to your mother's house and be counted out for a lifetime, and you have one more mouth to eat. ”

"When we were taking the "Female Virtue" class in Sishang, my husband once said that the virtue of women should be self-improvement, and there was no opportunity at all, but now it has been given a chance. Our Mo family has changed the world, and there are always some things that women can do, which is very good. I think the woman's misery in "Hooligans" is solved unless it has to be solved by changing the world. ”

The female teacher agreed with this and said, "So I always thought that if one day the world can't change, we will fail, and I can only choose to die." ”

The gentleman smiled slightly, lifted the lid of the pot made of reeds, added some water to the pottery cup, brewed the allotment of tea leaves, held the cup in both hands, and was about to say something when someone knocked on the door.

Calling for please come in, a young man with something in his hand said, "This month's ration." ”

The young man, who was a local, put down the four bags of things and took out a slip for the people inside to sign, looked at the four bulging packages with some puzzlement and asked, "Why do you women have more rations than us?" We just had a little tea, a small bar of soap, a toothbrush with bristles every two years, a few pieces of candy every season, and a few pieces of paper...... Why are you so many? What's inside? ”

When the two women in the room heard this, their faces flushed slightly, and they waved their hands at the young man and said, "Go, go...... Send someone else's. ”

The young man muttered and left for some reason, and the two girls opened their respective packages, took out some daily necessities from them, and carefully put away some of the cotton belts that were rationed to the girls.

Just after cleaning up, someone knocked on the door again and asked the other party to come in, and the other party said: "It's going to be mid-autumn in a few days, and this year's dinner will be prepared enough, and I will go to the kitchen to help from tomorrow." This time, a sum of money has been allocated from above, and it is necessary to do this well. ”

The two agreed, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The days are really fast, and it's about to be mid-autumn." ”

Mid-autumn is a seasonal year, and there is no Mid-Autumn Festival at this time.

The Mohists' development outside of Sishang used many methods similar to religion, such as occasional dinners and handouts, which were a model of covert power and organization hidden under the formal regime.

Relying on teachings to build houses, disseminate crops, and promote technology, etc., and then rely on dinners, handouts, water treatment, loans, etc., another set of organizations under the formal regime of the uncrowned king was formed.

Every year, a large dinner party is held in each of the four seasons, and it may not be too good to eat things, but in the process of the dinner, it is a way to get closer to people and make people find another form of organization outside the family, which is the way that the Mo family spreads in remote areas.

Of course, the money had to come from the profits of some trade in iron and horses, and it was forbidden to accept donations from the people, because the Mohists' industry was enough to pay these small sums every year compared to military and educational expenditures.

There are thousands of people in the entire cloud, not counting these surveyors, in fact, there are only fifty or sixty real ink makers, but the people in the peripheral organizations basically include most of the people in the clouds: in fact, there are two sets of laws, two sets of orders, and even two sets of governments in the cloud.

The former is the rightful Zhao State, the latter is a secret organization, and the latter's mobilization ability is far superior to the former.

Just as Deng Xizhu's punishment replaced the original Zheng Guo's decrees, some of the Mo family's decrees and trials here also basically replaced Zhao's decrees here.

The difference is that Deng Xi only has disciples and no army, so he was punished by Zi Property.

And the Mo family has money, an army, and the power to beat Tian Qi just now, and no one dares to care.

In the autumn, the farm is about to be busy, so I organize a group before the farm is busy to adjust the things that help each other during the busy farming time.

But this time, it seems that a lot of money has been allocated, and it is not so simple to guess.

Early the next morning, the people in the whole courtyard were busy, and some local women in the clouds also came to help, and the steaming and endless flow of people who killed sheep and skinned the sheep made the city in the clouds very lively, far more energetic than before.

The stronghold of the Mo family in Cloud City is obvious, and it is obvious that if you really prepare to expel the ink or slaughter the ink person, you will be able to catch one by one.

Mills, infirmaries, warehouses, salt and iron grocery stores, literacy evening schools...... This is all a place that does not need to be verified and grasped accurately.

The mid-autumn season has just arrived, and Cloudsdale is busy around these places.

For these people, this is a holiday, and the winter is too cold, so they have to rest.

I will definitely have to study in winter, because today a team from Takayanagi brought a cart full of books, and it should be some new content and new resolutions from Sishang.

In the kitchen, the gentleman was talking to the people next to her about studying in winter, and a few people outside called her and seven or eight people's names.

After washing her hands and going out, she received another large package, heavy.

"The book sent from Sishang, you can take a look at it for yourself first, if there is anything you don't understand, you will ask again when you go back to Sishang next year."

The news revealed by this sentence made these people happy, and they couldn't help asking, "Are you going back to Si next year?" ”

The days outside were indeed very hard, and the man who sent the message smiled and said, "You will know when the time comes." ”

I took the package and returned to my place to open it, which contained a large stack of thick papers, as well as a few new books, apparently freshly printed, with a strong stench of ink.

The titles of the top three new books would be strange to others to see, but they were easy for gentlemen who had learned a lot in the Si school.

"Similar Circles and Shao Guangshu", "Winning or Losing the Game with the Law of Nine Numbers" and "Meta Equations and the Reality of Numbers".
