May of the year of Wuyin.

Luoyi, which is far away from Peiyi, is experiencing a major event that affects the pattern of Zhuxia.

The people in Peiyi don't care about the general trend of the world that makes Jiuding shake and the Son of Heaven has one less relative with the same surname, but only cares about the winter wheat that is about to be harvested in the fields.

It has been more than half a year since the last covenant of the peoples, and time can be described as a fleeting time.

At this time, it is not a time to cut off, but only the perilla that can be cut off into medicine, and the young sprouts swaying in the midsummer wind swaying their fragrance, swaying hope for those children who are hungry for roasting perilla seeds with salt.

On the same road to Peiguo Township, Wei Wei, who had moved here from Shangqiu, was pushing an ink cart with a large bamboo basket containing some strange powder.

On the edge of the ridge, there were many stout men like him, using the word wheat wave from the inker, imagining what the sea looked like that they had never seen in their lives.

The dress of the reed is a little strange, and many people on the edge of the ridge look at the slightly strangely dressed reed, but even if they don't know each other, they will come to say hello.

Because on the neck of the reed, there is a towel made of "ghost cloth", which is used to wipe sweat, which also means that this person is a good hand at opening up fields and farming, otherwise the ghost cloth of the ink artist will not hang on this person's body.

Wei somewhat likes the feeling of being taken seriously, so he deliberately hangs the white ghost cloth around his neck without wiping his sweat, and washes it carefully every night, for fear that others will not recognize him.

The ink cart had just been greased, and it creaked but did not rattle, and in the cheerful sound of the wheel and axle turning, Wei had a companion who traveled all the way.

Wei didn't recognize this person, but the other party was very good at talking, and he also went to Peiyi together.

This person's accent was a little strange, so Wei asked, "Brother is not from Peixian?" ”

In half a year, the locals have become accustomed to calling themselves Peixian instead of Peiyi, and if they ask carefully, they will also say what kind of hometown they are.

The man was in his thirties, and he didn't look like a farmer, but like a businessman, and he spoke with some Sanjin accent.

Wei couldn't tell where it was, but it was enough to feel that it was not a local.

"I'm going to Peiyi to do some business. In Taoyi, I heard that the ink man came to Pei, and Pei will be great, and now it seems that this is really the case. The wheat harvest will be in May, is it really necessary to harvest twice a year? Brother is a farmer? I heard that if the work of opening the fields and crops is done well, the ink man will send a ghost cloth to wipe his sweat, and it seems that my brother is such a person. ”

The man was very amused when he spoke, and he didn't seem to care and complimented him, but his eyes kept on the bamboo basket on the reed ink cart.

Wei Hanhan smiled, picked up a cotton towel and wiped the sweat on his face and said, "I just opened more fields last year." If you open it, it's your own, why don't you open it? ”

The man also smiled, but said in his heart: "The methods of these ink masters are no different from Ji Chongjun's best strategy in Wei Xing. I Wei has the Dharma Sutra, and Peiyi Mo also has the Twelve Grass Silk Method, but I want to know the difference, so I can repay Ji Chongjun and Xihe Shou to know. ”

He remained silent, chatted a few more words, and asked, "You're pushing the ink cart, right?" I've seen it in the pottery, and the craftsmen of the ink are very famous in the pottery. Listening to your accent, it looks like you're from Shangqiu? ”

Wei nodded and said, "Yes, Shi preached in our village community as early as possible. It was Shangqiu who moved. When we came, the ink car was only in Shangqiu, and now there is Taoyi? ”

He didn't know much, he hadn't been far away, and he had been in contact with those well-informed ink writers for a long time, so he naturally liked this kind businessman who traveled with him, and he could always know what was going on outside.

The man who looked like a merchant smiled and said: "Not only Taoyi has it, according to the ink man, this thing is beneficial to the world, and there is no need to feed cattle and horses, but I am afraid that in a few years Luoyi will also have it, and the Son of Heaven may also be able to see it." Suitable, it's the secretary of the ink man, right? ”

Wei nodded and asked again, "Have you heard of it?" ”

The man smiled and said, "Since you have come to Pei County, how can you not hear it?" I always take people out to lecture and preach, where can I not hear them? Since you and Shi have known each other for a long time, why haven't you been a long man in the township and the village? Isn't there some money to take every year? ”

Wei stopped the car, wiped his sweat and grinned, "Where can it?" Among the ink people, there are a lot of literate and hyphenation words, and the ink is still virtuous, only based on the virtuous, which cares about the relatives? Shichang smiled and said, the world says that the ink is both loving and has no father and no relatives, not to mention intimacy? I can't, if I have a son in the future, if I can get into Peiguo's township school, maybe I can. But it's not for those people, as long as it's the best in the world. ”

The merchant nodded a few words of praise and said in his heart, "This man is just a farmer, so it can be seen that his knowledge is not shallow. The words of the ink man and love, Shangxian, and benefiting the world, even a farmer can know it in Pei County? ”

Thinking of this, he asked: "Speaking of the township school, I also heard that the ink scholar writes more simplified official books, I don't know if my brother can write?" ”

Seeing that this person was talkative, Wei also stopped the ink cart and said with a simple grin: "I will write my own name, and I will write a few numbers." ”

After that, he wrote the simplified reed character on the ground, and wrote a few strange symbols in the eyes of the merchants, which were the common numbers in Peixian.

The merchant half-truthfully complimented, "Remarkable. If it were placed elsewhere, where would the farmer write his name? The ink is really different. Brother went to Peixian Mansion this time, did he go to buy salt? ”

He looked at the salt-like things in the basket of ink carts pushed by reeds, and wondered in his heart whether they would be the raw materials for the rumored thunder-like weapons.

Wei didn't care, and said to the merchant: "You just came, and I don't know." Salt is not allowed to be sold privately, and is only sold in various kiosks and township houses. I have no salt in this basket, but dung and nitrous, and I can't eat it. The weapons used by the inkers to defend the city were recovered with money and converted into cattle and horses purchased by rent. ”

The merchant's heart moved, the secret path was really like this, I couldn't imagine that the ink man was so careless, and he didn't strictly abide by this matter?

He heard that the public loss class did a hook refusal, so that the Chu people were invincible and defeated the Yue people, and the later Gong Shang traveled to the Yue Yue to have a way to deal with it.

The hook can make it difficult for the Yue people to attack Chu, and the soldiers who are defending the city are now afraid that the effect is no less than that of the hook of the public loss class.

The heart knows that this thing is wonderful, and it needs to be investigated and rewarded.

Seeing that Wei didn't care, he couldn't help but ask: "I heard that half a year ago, Wu Zhu was harmful, and the ink man used the power of heaven and thunder to punish Wu Zhu's leader, these are the soldiers who defend the city, right?" ”

Wei Hehe smiled: "Yes, many people are no longer afraid of thunder." ”

The merchant also laughed and said, "Since you come to Pei County, how can you not know? I also knew that the sonic boom was several miles away, and several horses were frightened and galloped. If the ink man gets this thing, it will be of great use when defending the city, and when those horses and chariots are impacted, where can they not be frightened? When the time comes, the chaos will flee, and I am afraid that the army will be in chaos without a fight. Those heavenly thunders are made of this dung nitrate? ”

Wei pointed to the dung that was a little wet because of moisture absorption and said: "There must be this inside, the ink master said that this is the will of heaven, people should know about it, and they will not hide it." It's just that this thing is like a sword, it can guard the world or harm the world, so it's hard for others to know how to do it. It's all done by the ink master himself, we just need to know that it's not a thunderbolt but a sound like the leather is being crushed. ”

The merchant repeatedly: "Extremely! Extremely! If it is used in an unrighteous war, it can also kill people, and what the ink man has done is extremely right. Brother, this basket of dung nitrate, I'm afraid it can be exchanged for a lot of money, right? ”

Wei sighed and said, "If it's just us, where would we actually ask the ink man for money?" It is extremely difficult to get these out of this pavilion. I only dug the toilet last year, and I had to ferment manure, which is really not much. The day before yesterday, the pavilion chief asked me to go to Peiguo, push a cart along the way, and change the money and record it in the account, so that I can calculate the money for the ransom of cattle and horses in the future. The ink man said that their money did not fall from the sky, if it could not be given to everyone for a long time, they wanted to benefit the world not only Lipei County, so they still need money. ”

The person dressed as a merchant didn't care about any such as benefiting the world, he only cared about the actions of the ink man and the thunderous weapon he heard, so he pretended to praise and asked Wei what he was doing in Peixian Mansion.

As soon as he asked about this, Reed was a little excited, and pointed to the ripe and rolling wheat on both sides of the road and said, "The wheat will be harvested soon." Each pavilion shall appoint a man to discuss what will happen after the harvest. Pei County Government has seeds of black corn, ghost fingers, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, which should be distributed to various township pavilions for planting. Some people should also be selected to go to the northeast, where a new township was established, and it was said that it was called Jinteng Township, and people should be selected to help teach the cultivation of crops. For three years, you can get a lot of money every year for three years, and you can't go unless you are an expert. ”

The merchant suddenly felt strange, and said to himself, isn't this a confidential matter? Xincheng Yixiang, how did I not know? Did these peasants know first?

After he asked, Wei didn't feel anything suspicious, and thought that the things that the pavilion chief read out were not secrets, so he said: "The pavilion chief said that the Yue people destroy Teng, and the decree is not close to the locality. The ink has to make the best of the location, where there is no one's land, three years after reclamation can be deed, Teng land has many people who fled to here, the number of people, the establishment of a township near Teng. ”

The pavilion chief said that the more people there are, the more they can protect the public will, so this is also beneficial to the world, so each pavilion must choose a few people to go there for three years, and the land at home will be planted with the help of the same army. Now that the wheat has been harvested, everyone believes in the words of the inker, and besides, it is a matter of public interest, and there is money to take, so they all want to go. ”

The merchant seemed to suddenly realize and let out a sound of surprise, but in fact, he secretly compared in his heart.

The heart said that the methods of these ink masters were not much different from what Xihe Shou and Ji Chongjun did. The grievances of the local Qin people disappeared in half a year, and there were many people in Qin who crossed the mountains and rivers to go to Wei only to seek private land.

In this way, I am afraid that many people in Tengdi will flee here. If the Song Dynasty used ink to govern the Song Dynasty, it may not be impossible to practice the hegemony of Xianggong again.

He thought about the previous Dharma Sutra and the Covenant, the private field and the open field, etc., and said in his heart: "In this way, the means of the ink master also stop here? What you need to care about is that there are only those strange artifacts, if you can get the best with a lot of money, especially that thunderous weapon, if you can bring it back to Weidi, you will definitely be able to reward 100,000 yuan. ”

It's just that he didn't know that the location of the newly established township of Jinteng Township was not in the Song Dynasty, but between Xue and Teng; It does not exist like Nishikawamori County, but is a new autonomous unit that runs parallel to the original mode of jurisdiction.

For the time being, those who only manage people, benefit people, and only make appointments do not have absolute ruling power beyond all kinds of things.
