The time is September, and the order belongs to the third autumn.

In a village community in Peize Township, King Shuqing carried a bundle of reeds on his back and threw it next to the pond.

Shuqing Wang is a personal name, but this name is a little too domineering, and no one dares to call it that outside Peixian.

This is not the original name of King Shuqing, but in the battle of Shangqiu, the spearman of the Peixian righteous division was the first to put his spear within three feet of the king of Chu, and after returning from victory, someone in the Mo family laughed and gave him such a name when he was joking.

It takes the meaning of the common people despising the princes, borrowing the difference between the culture of Chu and the Central Plains, and leaking domineeringly with the word light king.

Although many nobles from the Mo family know that the king of Chu is not the king of the Son of Heaven, but a kind of god name sacrificed by Chu, and they do not agree with the king of China.

However, since the state of Chu has "viewed the politics of China", it is inevitable that the differences in these titles will be misunderstood by most people.

Counting up, the surname of his name is not Shu, but Shuqing.

After the Battle of Shangqiu, the name of the King of Chu's capture was done by Gongzao in the eyes of the world, after all, it was also a "scholar", and it always sounded better to say it. There was Cao Mo robbing Qi Huan before, how could he also be a scholar, and the saying that the common people kidnapped the king of Chu in Shangqiu was really difficult for the Chu people to accept.

But in Pei County, many people know that it was the king of Shuqing who first stretched the tip of the spear into the three feet of the king of Chu.

Soon after the Battle of Shangqiu, King Shuqing had an admirer and married a wife, but he was still among the righteous teachers at first.

Shi had been to his house a long time ago, and there were more laborers in the family, and the younger brother of King Shuqing first entered Peiguo's township school because of his intelligence, and then he has been studying with Shi, and belongs to the group of disciples who are ready to teach what they have learned all their lives.

When the younger brother heard that his brother had taken the name of the king of Shuqing, he took it upon himself to change his ugly name to the marquis of Shuqing.

After the expansion of the righteous division, the king of Shuqing served as the chief of Sima for three years, became an alternate ink in office, and returned to his hometown after being discharged from the army the year before last, and lived a life of one hundred and ten acres of land and a cow with his wife, who gave birth to two babies for him.

One family is pressing and wants him to come back.

Second, at that time, the grassroots level of Pei County also needed to be filled with a large number of ink artists.

He didn't want to come back, but he came forward to talk to him, and only said that the war was to fight in order not to fight in the future, and the village community also needed to be filled with ink people, so he might as well go back.

Zi Mozi said: Let people get their own strengths, and the world should be done; Jun his duties, the world has everything; All of them like it, and the world is prepared; There are many strengths and weaknesses, and everything in the world is in charge.

There is no high or low in this kind of thing to benefit the world, only the division of labor. So that everyone can get their own strengths, and they all like it, then those who do these things are beneficial to the world.

King Shuqing thought about it and felt reasonable, so he received a sum of money for retirement, returned to the village community, was selected as the representative of the village community, and was appointed as the representative of the Mo family in the village.

His family had a lot of labor, and his father was a courageous man who fled at an early age, and after the Mo family came, there was hope for life, and luck was good, and in just four years, he repaid the difference between iron and cattle and horses.

After the king of Shuqing came back, he organized the people of the village community by virtue of the ability he learned in the night school of the righteous teacher, and by virtue of his own connections, he invited two earliest paper-making craftsmen to set up a paper-making workshop in the village community.

Usually each family grows crops, and when the farming is not working, they work in the village community's paper-making workshop in exchange for money.

Although this papermaking workshop is simple, it is not something that a family or two households can support. With his name and prestige, King Shuqing said that more than 100 households in the village community joined in the shares and opened this papermaking workshop.

In just two years, the Mo family relaxed the restrictions on papermaking, and the Mo family's government-run workshops only made some paper for money, and the rest of the paper was allowed to be privately owned, encouraging village community partnerships, and giving more support.

The main reason is that the papermaking industry can't make any huge profits, and the Mo family doesn't want it anymore, and they are really short of paper, so they spread it.

The papermaking workshop of Shuqingwang Village mainly relies on the support of two people who originally worked in the Mo family's workshop, and the rest of the people are mostly laborers.

Nowadays, many village communities have their own industries, and the handicraft industry is very profitable, but the land is reluctant to be thrown away and officially changed into business, so this method is adopted.

There are oil extractors, papermakers, flower makers, and woodware makers, most of which are supported by the first batch of local ink writers who returned to the village community and learned from the volunteers.

Now it is September, just go to the township office to pay the village community this year's tax grain, each family has prepared winter horse grass, the remaining straw and the like are soaked into the original soaking hemp pond, after soaking rotten next year to smash the pulp to get paper.

After cotton was popularized in Pei County, few people planted hemp anymore, and the original pool for soaking hemp was just used to soak paper materials.

What King Shuqing did at this time was to throw materials into it, and a few people behind him pushed a few ink carts with lime in them, and listened to the command of a craftsman next to him to prepare to add to it.

The man pushing the cart muttered as if he was chatting casually: "The price of lime has risen again, and those villages have made a lot of money in recent years." ”

Another said: "That's nothing. The Mo family has already decided on our paper for next year, and the money has been discussed, and there will always be something to earn. ”

King Shuqing smiled: "Then you have to do a good job, last year, some village communities did not do well, and they did not meet the standard at all." Don't accept it, don't say it, I was ridiculed in the township office, I don't want us to be so shameless. ”

He was now less than thirty, in the prime of life, wearing the old military uniform of a righteous teacher, with an indigo trouser underneath and a cotton belt around his waist.

Occasionally, when he went out, he would wear the three brass medals on his chest, and when he walked, he would always attract the attention of many people.

Everything is fine in the family, in the past few years, the family has opened 120 acres of land, and the younger brother is one of the few children who follow suitability to study.

The sisters are married, and the family's ironware, cattle and horses are redeemed and returned to themselves, and the horse gave birth to a foal after returning to them last year, and if they were born a year early, they would have to return it to the Mo family, and the one born after the redemption last year was their own.

My wife gave birth to twins last year, and now she has four children, so she doesn't have to worry. If you are smarter, like a younger brother, go to school, join the army if you are not smart, or split up when you grow up in the future, the Mo family will also organize a co-farming society to reclaim wasteland, and there will be less and less land.

Pei County does not collect poll tax, only according to the number of acres of land, the more children, the more labor in the family, and can also organize farming, the more you have, the better.

Although Pei County knows that the Mo family speaks and is kind, if the number of acres of land is concealed and found out, it is a big crime.

In the two years that King Shuqing returned home, life was very good, and whenever his father drank a little wine and chattered, he would always talk about the days when he fled to Peize before the ink man came, and he would also sigh that it was really a good time now, as long as he was willing to do it, he could always live well.

In the autumn, he organized the residents of the village community to go to the township to pay taxes and grain, and every two months he went to the township office to learn the morality of the Mo family with the rest of the Mo people in the township, and his life was extremely pleasant.

Sometimes I miss the most glorious moments of my life...... It was only three feet away from the King of Chu, who felt unreachable in the past.

But more often than not, all I think about is how to live a good life, live a better life, and be worthy of the oath of "benefiting the world" when I joined the Mo family.

When I came back, on behalf of the Xuanyi Department, I talked a lot to them, the first batch of people who returned: There are many ways to benefit the world, and going back is not an act of benefiting the world.

A few days ago, the righteous master went out to help Teng restore the country, which was a big deal, he organized a group of farmers from the village community to accompany the army, and followed him out for a spin.

Originally, I thought that it would take a long time, but who would have thought that all the people would be dismissed before the wheat harvest, and the matter of the farmland was not delayed.

This year's year is good, the village community is mostly newly reclaimed land, and the irrigation canal of Pize Township passes through the village community, autumn is a bumper harvest year, every family is full of corn and soybeans, the cattle and horses at home also eat corn feed, and occasionally eat some soybean cakes.

The order of the village community papermaking workshop was also set early, and when the material was soaked, as long as there was no problem, it would be able to make a sum of money, and each family could share some money according to the work, and he pondered to let the big guy concentrate the money and put it into the newly opened iron pot workshop.

He has thought about it, his four children, three boys and one girl, if they are all talented in studying, it is naturally good, if not, how can he let one grow up to go to Peiguo to learn blacksmithing, learn a skill, and he will not starve in this life.

Like the vast majority of young people in Peixian, they are full of hope and gratitude for life, and most of the time they are no different from others.

But in the end, it's different.

Soon after King Shuqing and the people around him put the paper materials into the bathing pond, they heard a copper bell in the distance, and the people at the edge of the pool stopped what they were doing, and looked at the road in the distance with their hands covering the pergola in front of them.

On the road, a man in a blue uniform was riding a horse and waving a brass bell in his hand and was running towards the village community.

King Shuqing sighed in his heart and said, "Something happened!" ”

He didn't know what it was, but he knew what it meant to ring the bell, either to be attacked, or to have an urgent need for each village community to send representatives to Peiguo to discuss the "public opinion".

This year, to help Teng Guo restore the country, it was only the representatives at the township level who voted on it, and there was no public will at the village and community level.

Now that the copper bell is ringing, King Shuqing knows that something must have happened.

Leaving his work behind, he hurriedly ran back to the village community with a few people, and the rider was drinking water next to the village community's big house...... The Mo family has an order not to drink raw water as much as possible, but to drink boiled water, so there will always be some cold boiled water in the large clay pot in the village house.

The king of the horseback commander also recognized that he had dealt with him when he was in the army, and hurriedly asked, "What happened?" ”

The rider took out two pieces of paper from his bosom, handed them over, and said, "In five days, the representatives of the ink scholars from all townships will go to Peiguo to convey something." Seven days later, the representatives of the people of each village community will also gather in Peiguo to discuss the public opinion. ”

One is to communicate, the other is to discuss, each with its own measure.

"The matter of the Yue country...... If everyone agrees, there may be a big battle. ”

The rider didn't say much, drank some water, turned over and said, "I still have to go to the next village, King Light, you also get ready, don't be late." ”

King Shuqing nodded and said, "Don't worry, it's not late." ”

He walked up to the rider, put his hand on the rider's knee, and couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean when you say you want to fight a big battle?" ”

The rider straightened his belt and said, "The Mo family's decision to propose that all the righteous teachers who have returned to their hometowns should be rebuilt, just to discuss this matter. If it succeeds, then it will be ready for a decisive battle with King Yue. If it doesn't work, you can only quit Tengdi ......"

King Shuqing scolded: "Where can it not be done? That Yue country is a belligerent country, and we can't always defend against them? If I say that I should have fought a long time ago, who wouldn't want to live this good life? But these princes and nobles don't want us to live. The king of Chu has been captured by us, and he is still afraid of a king of Yue? ”

The rider smiled: "There are only two brigades that belong to our Mo family." The rest are the righteous teachers of the people of Pei County, and they must always ask for everyone's opinions and make this matter clear. What's going on, you'll know when you go, I'll go first. ”

After saying that, his legs clamped the horse's belly, and rushed out, King Shuqing stood in place, subconsciously touched the cocoon left by the war in his palm, and said in his heart: "Fight, sooner or later, how can there be a king in this world who is not warlike and takes advantage of the people?" If you don't beat him, he will beat you and let you follow his rules, the rules of the Mo family are different from the rules of kings in the world! ”
