The old man had no objection to his son's participation in the matter of Peixian Moshi Righteous Master.

He also needed to serve in the military, but because of the military tax, millet tax, and hemp tax, he fled to Sisang.

As long as you leave the city and the fiefdom of the noble manor, there are many empty spaces that no one cares about.

Just like the old woman that Confucius saw when he passed Mount Tai and saw that her family was eaten by tigers, she was a typical fugitive serf.

Just fleeing away from the city, you need to face the lack of salt, wild animals, disease, famine, and so on.

Fortunately, the tyranny was stronger than the tiger, so these people would rather endure all this than return to their old homes to cultivate and cultivate the fields.

According to the jokes made by the Moji, who are the harsh people among the nobles? Obviously the pioneers of the professional Tangwu Revolution, they don't practice harsh government, where is anyone willing to change?

After the ink artist came to Xisang, he first used salt to attract these fugitive hermits, and the two things of sunflower gold and black affairs and confiscation of witch and blessing property gained enough trust in one fell swoop.

The subsequent small things such as planting winter wheat, composting manure, borrowing cattle to plough horses, improving farm tools, and building mills completely convinced these fugitive hermits.

The agreement between Mo and Song Company City was a fixed tax, and there was no need to collect taxes from these fugitive hermits for the time being.

These fugitive hermits are all fierce people, so the two places of Mulberry and Peize, which have the most fugitive households, have basically become the main soldiers of the Moshi Yishi.

The soldiers are not expensive, and the ink master itself still has a strong military force of three or four hundred people who can gather at any time to defend the city, and for the time being, there is no tax collection in Pei County, and it is the limit to raise a full-time army of three hundred people.

Don't do it if you don't have enough labor at home, don't participate semi-voluntarily after making it clear, and don't ...... Under various conditions, the demand of 300 people has exceeded the demand in the two townships of Sang and Peize.

After sifting, there were three hundred people left, and the old man's son was among them.

Now that he has made it clear what it is for, the old man obviously hopes that Peixian's policy can be continued, so he supports his son to participate in Peixian's volunteer teacher.

Some things do not need to be publicized, everyone has bright eyes and will not turn a blind eye, and those original policies have been backward, and the new policies are even more fascinating under the impetus of improved varieties and technological progress.

The righteous teacher is a full-time soldier, and there is still some money from the ink master every month.

The amount is not much, and no one outside of Pei County recognizes these cloths with numbers written on them, but in Pei County, you can buy many strange things, the most important thing is that you can repay the loan for farming cattle and buy new seeds.

This matter is also a public opinion, so the military endowment of these 300 people is the first tax collected by the ink man in Pei County at the disposal of the ink man.

If one person participates in the volunteer teacher, one-fifth of the volunteer teacher will be exempted from the volunteer teacher in the village community, and at the same time, the village community will also need to help harvest or plant when they need manpower.

On average, there are not many volunteers in each stall, especially after changing from one season to two seasons.

Shi talked to the old man about the righteous teacher, and gradually shifted the topic from the righteous teacher to the righteous teacher, and then from the righteous teacher to this year's harvest.

As soon as he said this, the old man's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said continuously: "This year's wind and rain are smooth, and it will be a good harvest." If this is the case every year, it is really necessary to live a life in the promised land. When I went to the countryside today, didn't I already see a house with straw pasted windows? It's still expensive now, and you still have to pay back the money for farming, but it will be good for a few more years...... I'm also thinking about making my windows bigger and brighter......"

The old man was depicting the beautiful life he fantasized about, and poured cold water on it and said, "You can't just expect the weather to be smooth." What about a drought? The ink man said that everything has a will to follow, and some things have not been found and are not non-existent. ”

"I'm hoping that someone can really get through the ghosts and gods, so that I can pray for good weather and a good year every year."

"But since our secretary was in charge of verifying the truth of the witch and the gods...... Originally, so many people who claimed to be able to communicate with ghosts and gods disappeared all at once. Three months ago, someone in Peiguo Township sent one with hope, and before I could verify it myself, the person who claimed to be able to communicate with ghosts and gods knelt down and begged for mercy, saying that he was fake...... Then you said that you said that you would give money, is this to give or not to give? ”

The old man also laughed, the ink man never said that there were no ghosts and gods, but now the entire Pei County can't even find a person who can understand ghosts and gods, and after a long time, they all believe the ink man's set of words.

Hearing this, the old man couldn't help but think of the great drought a few years ago, and said worriedly: "According to you, isn't that just waiting for someone who can communicate with ghosts and gods to appear?" ”

Shi shook his head and said: "Back then, the Chao clan also felt that as long as the ghosts and gods could be used to make the rain not appear above the heads of the clansmen. But after looking for a long time, I couldn't find it, so I had to build a house with the method of heavenly will. ”

Dayu also hoped that the communication of ghosts and gods would stop the water of the rivers from flooding. But it can't be done, so we have to dredge the mountains and rivers to control the flood. ”

"Now we are the same, we can't just wait, we have to do it ourselves."

"Surabaya flows all year round and the land is moist, so if you can dig a ditch, you can irrigate the land of the three townships along the way. This is the method adopted by Dayu back then. ”

The old man nodded again and again, the comparison of the four land sales done in Peiguo Township last time had already spread throughout Pei County.

Everyone in the township and village community knows one thing, if you want a good harvest, the three things of water, fertilizer and seeds must be solved.

The sun hangs in the sky, and no one has yet been able to solve the problem of spring, summer, autumn and winter with heavenly will, but it seems that the inker already knows why there is spring, summer, autumn and winter.

They all thought that since they knew, they were not far from being solved......

At least that's how they fantasize about it.

When he talked about digging a canal, the old man said, "This thing is done." As long as you ink makers settle down, everyone will do it after harvesting the beans and planting winter wheat. Even old men like me can know this, and those people can know it. ”

Shi Haha laughed and said: "This is a matter for the benefit of everyone, and we ink masters are going to do it." This year's autumn grain has been harvested, and this thing is really going to be done. As long as it can be cultivated, it will really be worry-free about floods and droughts, and even if there is a drought, it will not be like the great drought in previous years, and there will be no harvest. When the time comes, as long as there is strength, there will be water. ”

"Crops, we want water, not rain. The rain is water, the river is water, and the canal is water. The so-called does not necessarily require the wind and rain of ghosts and gods, but also asks for your own hands. ”

The old man said repeatedly: "I know, we all know this." It's just that this year has been going well, and everyone doesn't want to do it. If you don't say it, there will be fewer people who think. But when it comes to doing things together, that's fine. ”

"The kind of iron tools you often talk about, the people of the village community often talk about it. On that day, everyone went to the mill together, and they talked about it, only saying that if you really want to make iron tools, even if the whole village community does not grow summer grain, you have to be busy. I've heard you say that's a good thing, and I've seen a few of the ones you got from Korea, and they're really better than the current farm tools...... It's just expensive. ”

Shi Dao: "If you want to get the ink, it won't be so expensive." ”

The old man was now convinced of the words of the ink man, and when he heard what he said, he paused: "That's great, as long as it can be made, the people of the village community can really give up half a year's food and work together to help get it." ”

Seeing that the time was ripe, he said, "It doesn't take many people to do this." Besides, you can't grow summer grain. Juzi thought of a way for me to tell the people in the various township pavilions. I'll tell you first, and if you can, I'll announce it in the village pavilion when I go back. ”

When the old man heard this, he put down the dishes and chopsticks, and listened to the appropriate speech very solemnly.

The appropriate lecture is relatively simple, and it is easy for the old man to understand.

The matter of iron-making will be solved by inkers and craftsmen.

However, to dig underground mines, it is necessary for each village community to send people.

According to each army, each person shall serve three months of labor, and shall not serve labor during the summer harvest and autumn planting, and shall be rotated in three months.

Mining there every day, the ink maker will also give money.

And all those who work as laborers and miners have the right of first refusal to buy iron tools, and the ink master promises not to sell iron tools to other places until these people are satisfied.

At the same time, even these people who participate in mining can receive iron tools from the ink master in installments, and then repay them.

As for things like building smelting furnaces and making molds, they are all technical jobs, and it is impossible to recruit them by means of hard labor.

It can only rely on the craftsmen within the ink and craftsmen to cultivate a new iron-smelting industry.

Cast iron, annealed cast iron, can be completely made at this time.

With cast iron, the productivity level of Pei County can be quickly improved, and some undeveloped land can quickly become a large area of fertile land, which is a revolutionary agricultural change, and it is a sharp blade to disintegrate the well-field aristocracy.

A large number of iron tools were able to monopolize the market, and traveled north and south along Surabaya into the prosperous Central Plains, exchanging a steady stream of funds for the Mo.

This kind of thing, without the heart of righteousness and without the purpose of benefiting the world, is the set of labor obligations that Spain engaged in mining in South America, which requires violent support and to deal with endless uprisings and flights.

But at this time, Pei County can be said to be effective and have few side effects.

At this time, the big mining merchants were all under the share contract system, and the so-called "big businessmen must be", not that the big businessmen had no funds, and there was no way to get a large number of fugitives and slaves. This is something that the ink can't learn.

Shi also made it clear that if this method is possible, it is necessary to build an iron-smelting workshop first, and then do the work of building water conservancy.

He explained it with a fable about chopping wood, and the old man understood it, and his heart was excited, and he felt that there was really nothing wrong with this matter—although his second son had joined the righteous master and was old himself, the eldest son and the third son could serve this labor.

They had already seen the iron tools that the Inkmen had obtained from Korea at a high price, and they had really seen the efficiency of such tools, as long as the Inkers could solve the problem of high prices, which was of course a good thing.

Shi had already said that it could solve the problem of high prices, so the old man believed it, and thought that he could buy and borrow it first, but he really couldn't think of anything wrong.

In the final analysis, it is not the ink artist or the big cake suitable for them to play a role, but the political credibility of the ink artist in Pei County.

If the princes and nobles say this, even if the ceiling is broken, they will not believe it, they will only be full of suspicions.

If they were the Moists who had been here for more than a year, who had changed many things, and who had brought skills that were truly beneficial to everyone, they would not have any doubts at all.

It's nothing more than some details that need to be solved, such as how much money to pay each month, what to do if you die, these need to be summarized after publicity, and then carefully discussed after going back, bargaining with the people to finally work out the exact rules - this matter does not need him to do, the ink is the best at formulating various rules, whether it is defending the city or the workshop and military industry.

In order to gather people for profit, it can last, and the ink man is extremely sober about this.

In any case, Mozhi was also the only "academic" organization that clearly pointed out at this time that IOUs should be written for the materials collected during the defense of the city, and the original price should be compensated after the defense of the city.

"The people offer corn, cloth, money, cattle and horses, and livestock, all of which are placed in Pingjia and the main coupons."

In the past 2,000 years, most of the armies that can do this rule are invincible.

Since even such a thing as compensation for the original price can be figured out, the bargaining inkman will not let the villagers suffer too much.

The old man was in high spirits, and was about to talk about how much land he would open after he had iron weapons, when the two swordsmen guarding Shi outside the door walked in and whispered in Shi's ear: "Secretary, there is a group of Chu people's carriages passing by, and I heard that they seem to have come to find us." ”

Shi was stunned and said strangely: "Chu people? ”

The swordsman nodded to show that he did not admit his mistake, and signaled the swordsman to go out first, said to the old man's family, took out the money and quietly put it aside, and only said that he would go out to see what the situation was.
