Mulberry Township is the first township to be taken to take people.

There is not only the village community that is suitable for Shangqiu to go deep into, but also because of the fugitive hermits who evaded military taxes and taxes before, the fierce folk customs of Mulberry have faintly become a township with the deepest and most supportive activities of the Mo people in Pei County.

The creaking sound of the public water-powered mill next to the township office, and the sound of the connecting rod made of wood rubbing against the water wheel is called tooth acid, but it is very beautiful to the ears of the villagers who are busy grinding the wheat into flour.

Coupled with the designated market next to it, it has become the political center of the village community.

Farmers from nearby villages and communities pushed small ink carts loaded with grain to the township shops in exchange for salt or other necessary supplies.

They took out a small piece of paper from their bosoms, on which were written their names, the number of people in the family, the names of the village communities, and the numbered Shiwu, which they used as vouchers to buy all kinds of necessities sold by the inkers at normal prices.

The currency they used was also extremely strange, not copper coins, but a kind of currency made of cotton cloth or paper.

These currencies can be used to buy salt, to repay loans for cattle, to buy wood, and to buy most of the materials controlled by the ink masters, so they can be easily circulated in Pei County.

The money in the hands of the ink artist is not small, and there is also a part of copper, and it is not difficult to have a suitable sand method for privately minting money.

It's just that most of the money that the ink scholars got from those big cities and juyi was gold, and copper had to be kept for defending the city, so the currency of Pei County as a whole was still insufficient.

From one harvest to two harvests in a year, more than twice as much grain is involved in market exchange.

The harvest of the first season is about the same as that of a normal year, and the leftovers are about the same, and the second season is completely ready for circulation as a commodity.

The goods in Pei County proliferated, and the currency was very tight, so the ink artist issued some small banknotes and cloth coins.

Cloth coins are not copper cloth coins, but really cotton cloth as a material and a currency with numbers written on them.

Cotton cloth is nowhere else except Peixian; The feel of cotton cloth is completely different from that of linen, and you can feel it with a slight touch.

The strange currency issued by these ink writers in the hands of the farmers in Peixian Township was basically exchanged for grain.

The ink man needs copper to make weapons, and he also needs copper to make some necessary tools, and he can only use this helpless method at this time.

In the future, I will think about those anti-counterfeiting methods and the like, and I don't need to think about these now, let the people of Peixian County be familiar with this currency that does not have enough use value.

It is appropriate to propose this, and there is no concern that too much issuance will lead to currency problems.

Anyway, most of the grain that can be sold in the hands of the farmer is in the hands of the inker, and he needs to repay the ploughing cattle and occasionally buy a little oil to eat, and there is not a lot of money in real circulation.

There are many farmers who come to the township pavilion to do business, men, women and children, and their faces are full of elated emotions, telling hope for the upcoming autumn harvest.

Many people saw that they were bringing a few ink masters, so they ran over to say hello and asked when those who were acting would be able to come again.

Relying on simple drama as a means of propaganda, it is easy to attract a large number of people among the village community, because even the most simple drama is still a luxury in the village where spiritual life is extremely scarce.

Shiye greeted them kindly and replied, only saying that it might take a long time, and now those people are approaching Teng Township, and I am afraid that they will not be able to come back in a short time.

The villagers sighed with emotion, and took Shi and the rest of the ink people to their homes for dinner.

Or there is just some wheat flour left, and now the bean pods are tender, put on an urn of sour wine, boil the bean pods in salted water just under the wine, and tomorrow the salted water can still serve rice.

Wheat and mushroom were originally the food of the sluts, and the nobles did not eat them, but now the two are made into rice, but the untouchables can also taste the taste of the best corn and rice that far exceeds the taste of the nobles.

Whenever I taste this taste, I always think of the ink person who presides over all this, so I also want the ink person to taste the joy of those foods with them.

Shi excused himself slightly, and first called the ink masters around him together.

"After a while, they will go separately according to the village community assigned before. Those words have been said many times before, and this time it is important to do it well. ”

"Whatever thoughts and opinions are made by the people, let them be recorded. It's one thing to be right or not, it's one thing to solve it or not, and it's another thing to know it. The truth that has already been decided can be explained clearly, and the truth that has not yet been decided should not be explained casually. ”

Those young writers of the Xuanyi Department all laughed, and only said: "What the Xuanyi Department has not decided, where can we easily say it." There are a lot of things that we haven't figured out yet, and we're all wrong...... The answer to those people's doubts is the righteousness of the Xuanyi Department, not the righteousness that we think we think is. ”

This was a little strange to say, Shi Ye only smiled, and wanted to say something else to point out the fallacy in this statement, but after thinking about it, it seemed unnecessary, so he waved his hand to let everyone disperse.

When he went back, he went back with an old man from a distant village and said that he would go to eat with them.

The old man knew the rules of the Mo family, and said that he was only thankful, and he was not allowed to take money, and he didn't argue about this on the road, so he smiled and didn't answer.

The six children in the old man's family have all been raised, which is extremely rare.

Once the well-field system and the land-granting system are abolished, they will become quite good families in the village community, with enough labor force and a large amount of uncultivated wasteland, which determines that whoever has a large population and more labor force will become a wealthy yeoman farmer first.

Two of the six children have a close relationship with Mo.

A nine-year-old child is studying in Peiguo Township School and is very smart. There are not many students who are appropriately impressed.

Another child, who is about to be twenty years old, served in the 300-person Peixian Volunteer Division established by the Moshi, and was the first spearman, brave and convinced of the Moshi's teachings.

Such a family would be an important pillar of the Mo's future in Peixian, and the Mo's need for wealthy yeoman farmers and businessmen would now be the class representing interests.

The two chatted a lot all the way, and when they returned to the village community, they took a turn in the village community again, chatted with the representatives elected by the village community for a while, and ate lunch at the old man's house.

Lunch was originally a meal that the untouchable class did not have, and it used to be two meals, but the habit of the Mo people gradually affected the village community, and the habit of three meals also began to appear among the original untouchable class in Pei County.

Lunch was not simple, but it was quite hearty.

Dark cookcakes without the bran sifted as a staple food; Use boiled pods in salted water as a dish; A can of soup mixed with wild vegetables and batter, with a few drops of boiled soybean oil floating on it, is obviously more than anyone else's.

The eldest son, eldest daughter, youngest daughter, and three men ate together, and made a simple table out of bamboo according to the custom of the village pavilion, and there were no spoons or other utensils on it, only chopsticks remained.

The meals were average, but adequate.

Shi noticed that the youngest girl didn't eat much, and even ate a small amount of bran cookcakes and kept eating boiled pods in salted water.

I know that the family should not have been hungry for half a year, otherwise it would not be like this when eating.

During the meal, the young girl was the first to ask: "Brother Shi, how is my second brother doing in the righteous teacher?" ”

Shi looked at this twelve or thirteen-year-old little girl who was about to grow up, and said with a smile: "Your second brother must always pick crickles for you to eat on weekdays, so you only ask your second brother, don't ask how your brother is in the township school." Does your brother always grab your cocktails to eat? ”

The girl blushed, bowed her head and said, "No." My younger brother came back a few days ago and said that he was slapped by you in the township school, but the food was fine. I'm afraid that my second brother will also be beaten there. ”

The whole family laughed, and Shi shook his head and said, "The affairs of the righteous teacher are not in my charge, but I shouldn't be beaten, right?" He is a spearman in the front row, which is not something ordinary people can do. ”

He is not talking nonsense, the matter of the righteous teacher really has nothing to do with him. Military power is in the hands of the giants, this is the rule set at the beginning, suitable as a township school school administrator, secretary and head of the Xuanyi department, it is impossible and should not interfere in the affairs of the army.

However, he was responsible for the teaching and discipline of the junior officers.

Originally, he thought that with the little military knowledge he knew, he proposed to train these 300 righteous teachers, but there were many people who could train the army among the ink scholars.

The ink artist itself is famous for its discipline, which is the most important quality of the infantry at this time, and the ink artist attaches great importance to it.

From the regulations for defending the city, a set of military laws was quickly drawn up, and there was no need to meddle at all.

As for things such as formations and queues, the characters in the world who knew the soldiers at this time paid more attention to it early.

"Wu Zi" has emphasized the importance of formation, queue and discipline; The grandson, who trained soldiers for King Wu back then, believed that strict discipline was the guarantee of a strong army.

These technical things do not need his intervention at all, and from the time when the righteous teacher was established, he would at most put forward opinions.

There is no need for him to mention the two things of constructive formation and discipline, so they can only be tinkered with in small directions.

He's mostly responsible for propagating things like why you're fighting.

The old man who was a father was not worried about his son suffering there, he had also been an apprentice and knew some things in the army.

Although Mo is not the same as those princes and nobles, there is still a need to emphasize law and discipline in the army. He thought that if he made a mistake, he would naturally be beaten, and if he didn't make a mistake, he might not, which is nothing.

Soon after the midsummer wheat harvest, the establishment of the righteous teacher was widely publicized among the various villages, communities and pavilions, and the purpose was also very clear, that is, the doctrine of the Mo Scholar's non-attack.

The Moshi has the world in mind, so it is impossible to use the rhetoric of the state to agitate the army.

Shi Ye will definitely not allow it, otherwise once this head is opened, Zhuxia is likely to divide into countries and fight endlessly, until hatred and nationality appear.

This is not the time for rebellion, and the idea that the land belongs to the monarch is still very thick and difficult to melt for a while, so some of the rhetoric should be tactful.

The establishment of the righteous teacher was nominally in the hope that the people of Pei County would be able to protect the law of the people of Pei County and fulfill their military obligations in exchange for the autonomy of Pei County being recognized by the monarch.

Peixian Yishi will not participate in the unjust war, the military power is in the hands of the Mo, and the purpose is for the people of Peixian.

If a strong country invades the weak Song Dynasty, the righteous division will go to stop the war, and with the merits of the first war, the Song Duke and the people of Pei County will reach an agreement: recognize Pei County's statement about taxes, admit that Pei County's endowment is controlled by the Pei County Government, and admit that Pei County's righteous teachers do not participate in unjust wars but only participate in city defense battles - this does not need to be recognized by Song Gong, Song State is now surrounded by Chu, Sanjin, Qi, and Yue, and no one can fight, so they can only be beaten passively.

That is, the military obligations of the righteous division were exchanged for the recognition of the semi-autonomous state of Peixian by the Song Duke.

Whether to admit it or not, it is of little significance in the eyes of Shi.

admit this kind of thing, and if you don't admit it, you will beat him to admit it.

It's just that I can't beat it now, so I have to pretend that my grandson admits that their admission is valid. When you don't need to pretend to be a grandson, you can directly take out the worldview of Pei County's Wanmin Law, and directly refuse to admit it.

The recognition of semi-autonomy is not too appalling, at this time there are still a bunch of vassal states, Pei County to the south past Pengcheng and then west of Xiao, originally a semi-independent vassal state of the Song Dynasty, only military obligations.

There are even a lot of vassal states in Chudi, as well as those military districts and counties where the local people are powerful, as long as this kind of thing is done by seizing the opportunity, it can be successful.

forced the three chapters of the Song Convention and Law, when the Chu people surrounded the Song Dynasty and the internal nobles were in chaos, the Song Duke had to agree if he didn't agree, and he even wanted to agree.

Song Gong didn't agree, Sicheng, Liuqing, etc., some people were willing to agree. Relying on the autonomy of Pei County in exchange for the support of a group of Mo people who seem to be harmless to humans and animals, have a sick head, do righteousness instead of attacking, and have strong force, it seems that they can only make money and not lose money. It seems that it is nothing more than Feng Mo Zhai to be Pei Zai or Pei Dafu.
