People who can't endure hardships but have dreams in their hearts are not careerists but dreamers.

Before dinner, Shi's neck had been sunburned with a layer of exposed skin, which was hot and painful.

I screamed a few times in my heart, but I didn't open my mouth.

Reaching out and quietly touching his neck, it was as if the skin had been cut open with a knife and then torn off in one piece, and touching it with his hand was like holding a brush on it after being skinned.

He and the reeds were the only ones left in the field, and the reeds went back first when the shadow of the western mountain fell on the ground.

I specially prepared a pickled rabbit leg that the dead man had been reluctant to eat. Even in the Song Kingdom, rabbits don't always hit wooden stakes by themselves, and this rabbit is very rare.

Simple corn, pickled leeks, boiled bean leaves.

A small fire was lit in the courtyard to keep mosquitoes away.

The reed flowers are busy like the wild bees that make their home under the leaves under the mulberry tree outside the door, constantly flying, the footsteps are cheerful and hasty, and they step out of the rhythm of the wild bees flying.

There was no wine at home, so they boiled the sour berries and purple berries together, used a small cloth to filter out the dregs inside, and poured them into the clay pot on the guest table.

When Nishiyama's shadow fell on the field, she was worried that she would not have enough time to prepare dinner by herself.

But now, when the last ripples in the clay pot were calm, she stood in front of the door and looked at the path, feeling that the sun was setting much slower than usual on the mountain.

The girl's eagerness didn't make him change his pace, and after He Wei decided to go home, he deliberately chose a farther path.

Along the way, greet the people who had sat around and chat a few days ago, or bow your head to pick a few simple herbs you know.

A group of naughty children accidentally fell to the ground, and the stone cut their arms, so they picked some wild chrysanthemums that had the effect of anesthesia and hemostasis, and let the children chew them and apply them to the wounds.

Wild chrysanthemums contain alkaloids with anesthetic effects, and the boy who scratched the wound chewed for a while, and his tongue was not his own, and saliva accompanied by green juice flowed down the corners of his mouth, causing the children next to him to make jokes.

I took the opportunity to tell these children a made-up story about Shennong tasting herbs and discovering this herb, where was there a storyteller at this time, such a simple story made this group of children feel very novel.

Shi chatted with the children again, and felt very pitiful.

Many children have a hard time.

Life is not easy, and sometimes women have to work in the fields.

or to prepare firewood and grass, or to cook for her husband and children who are working in the fields, or to sew clothes for her son who is on a campaign, and there is little time to take care of the children.

Some children are four or five years old and don't speak much or walk. It's not that they are stupid because they are commoners, but because the family is too busy for mothers to watch their children, so they have to prepare some fine sand to dry and spread on the ground.

Place the little ones on these fine, non-hurting sandy soils. Eat and drink all on the sand, like cat litter, pull poop or urine on it, poke away the sand and put on a new one, so that you can save time to do other things.

In this way, children lie on the sand until they are three or four years old, and if they can talk and run, there will really be ghosts. Under closed conditions, children from mute families can't speak, not necessarily physiologically, how can they say without learning to speak?

After all, watching children is not an easy task and requires a lot of time.

Fortunately, these children who are playing around are normal.

The parents of these children certainly don't know each other, and what they see and hear is only what they saw with the common people of the same village during the army. The Song Kingdom has been a country that has only been beaten and cannot fight back in recent years, and it is even less common in this world.

The children stared at the dark eyes, and after listening to the little stories that Shi told, the title changed from stranger to "Brother Shi", begging Shi to tell them a few more stories.

It is rare for the farmers who are preparing to go home at the edge of the fields to hear a story, but after all, they are adults, and although they want to hear it in their hearts, they are always embarrassed to think that it is time for them to go back to eat.

It's a pleasure, the story after the Warring States period can't be told, but there are also a lot of stories that can be made up in the spring, autumn and summer merchants, at this time there is no chronicle history, and it is also very interesting to tell a random story in the chronicle style, which is much stronger than sleeping at night, and you can also take the opportunity to get closer to these people.

Most importantly, this is the first step in the curve mission, which is to attract people first.

Listening to the children's pleas, he smiled and said, "Then that's it, when it gets dark, you will come to Wei's house." I'll tell you stories in the courtyard, and you can listen to them. If you still have leisure to work during the day, you can also come and listen. ”

After speaking, he asked Wei again: "This won't be troublesome, right?" ”

Wei Hanhan smiled and grinned: "They are all next to each other, one is fighting behind a chariot, and one is changing fields in the hills and fields, so what's the trouble?" Actually, I'd like to hear what you have to say, it's really nice. ”

Shi laughed, snapped his fingers and said, "Then it's decided, I'll tell you a story about Wu Zixu of Chu State tonight." This is a powerful person, in order to take revenge, he dug up the tomb of the king of Chu and pulled out the dead king of Chu and whipped the corpse......"

Whether the corpse is whipped or not, I don't know whether it's true or not, but in the era when the patriarchal system is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, this story is of great significance.

And Wu Zixu's story can also be a long story such as a storytelling, what Miss Qianjin, the gravedigger whipped corpse, one night of whitehead, Seven Star Longyuan and the like are either fabricated or attached to the anecdotes, which are enough to gather dozens of families to get together and listen to the story when they have nothing to do.

As long as you get together and listen a lot, what you will talk about in the future is another matter. But when you come up and talk to these ordinary people about things like "love and love" and "non-attack", it can't attract people. Moreover, it is clear that these things are for scholars and kings, and due to limitations, the Mohists still pin their hopes on the monarch.

Speaking of the whipping corpse, everyone took a breath of cool air, and immediately felt that this story was indeed very interesting, and thought that there was nothing to do at night anyway, so it was time to listen to it.

Everyone knew about Shi Shi's father who saved Wei and Luhua before, and it was reasonable to invite him to dinner. I all wanted to let Shi go to dinner first, so that I could listen to the story early.

Shi was not in a hurry, although he was hungry, he still chatted with these people idly, asking about some things that he had to know.

At the very least, he needs to know the current land system, and he needs to know whether the grassroots managers he may face are village community autonomy or those low-level nobles.

If you don't understand this, it's easy to be evicted, beaten, or even killed.

Based on his knowledge of history, he still lacks first-hand information and the organizational form of grassroots village communities.

If you want to put down roots here, you have to do something, you have to know these things.

At the beginning of Zhou Tianzi's separation, the ideal state of the well field. 900 acres is a well, and 100 acres in the middle of the period is public land, which is a means of production used to exploit the rent of the serfs in the well fields.

At this time, planting needs to be fallow, and 900 acres of land can only support three households, with four wells as one and four as one hill.

The village community composed of 36 families is a mound, and the 36 families have to raise three oxen and a horse, and these three oxen are used to pull carts and carry the weight for war.

The four hills are one ding, and each hill has a horse, and the four hills are exactly four horses and a chariot.

In addition to the low-level nobles of each hill, one horse chariot, three armor soldiers can be driven to attack, one hundred to two hundred apprentices, and four to eight ox carts to carry the weight - Zhou Tianzi is not among them, Zhou Tianzi's army does not use ox carts to use horses, and the ox carts of each hill must rely on the war horses of the princes to supplement the carriage for the carriage, so as to ensure the military superiority of the Son of Heaven over his relatives.

At the beginning of the founding of the country, the armor soldiers must have been low-level hereditary nobles, and once they fought, they had to be able to drive, shoot, and carry a fight.

Chariots are not something that can be played by any person, and it is impossible to ensure accurate shooting on a bumpy chariot without ten or eight years of hard training.

Therefore, the nobles above the rank of corporal are hereditary according to the patriarchal system, at least semi-full-time.

The nobles above the rank of corporal did not need to cultivate, but specialized in martial arts, swordsmanship, driving, archery, etc., and relied on the family slaves of the fiefdom and the peasants of the village community.

In the past, the common people, like the village serfs under the Russian serfdom, could be transferred to other nobles along with the land, and many bronze inscriptions and history books also confirm this. can be transferred, and they are not slaves, they are basically semi-free serfs who belong to the land.

According to the Confucian conception of the taxi, the taxi can fight in the car and govern the people in the land, which is obviously required by the low-level nobles who have the right to govern the feudal law - under the feudal system of mining estate, it is the administrative officials who have the right to govern, not the administrative officials, so it can be understood that the light crops and hundreds of labors can be understood. Feudal officials did not need to know how to farm the land, how to dig rivers, how to make weapons, and they could be left to their subordinates.

There are subordinates at all levels.

The so-called Son of Heaven has a prince, the princes have a secretary, the secretary has a side room, and the scholar has friends. At this time, friends are not equal friends, but those who are auxiliary priests under the patriarchal system, and can be called friends of scholars.

Therefore, the master called Yan Yuan, Zigong, Zizhang, and Zilu friends, which is not a subordinate relationship, but it is by no means an equal friend, but a kind of non-blood and close auxiliary relationship under the patriarchal system.

But no matter how close you are to the patriarchal ritual system, you can't mess with it: the master is a scholar, so he can only have friends, and even if he is a great priest, these people are only friends who assist him, not subordinate subordinates.

If he has been in the position of the Grand Priest of the Lu State until he dies, then he will be counted as a doctor after his death, but he will not be able to have the power of a monk that only a doctor can have during his lifetime, and a disciple of the first level of a scholar can only be a friend rather than a subordinate. He can raise scholars, but he cannot raise them.

Theoretically, this is a perfect feudal scheme, from high-level five lords to low-level samurai, and Zhou Tianzi had a lot of land back then, and he had a righteous name, many warriors under his command, and the princes' tribute horses. can completely suppress the princes from all walks of life - when Zhou Zheng exchanged troops, if Zheng Guo hadn't used tactics to play tricks, Zhou Tianzi's armor and elite warriors could beat Zheng Guo's chariot soldiers and warriors out of, but the era of upright and non-tactical use among his relatives has passed......

In the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Luhou was only 700 times, that is, 700 lower-level chariot warriors at the level of Dianbao. If half of the cars are removed, there will be only about 300 attacking vehicles, and the low-level nobles who can be hereditary in the Lu State should be kept at this number.

The genuine hereditary low-level nobles of Qi should be four-sevenths of that of Lu, because the founding of Qi is a country of four hundred times, and the surname of Qi is not surnamed Ji, and it is a foreign surname.

In the early days, the monarch was basically able to control the situation in his own country, but now the situation is very different.

Taking Qi as an example, after the reform of Guan Zhong, Qi was divided into 21 townships.

According to a vulgar and simple understanding, these townships can be regarded as baronies and cities that contributed troops, and the so-called towns of commerce and commerce and the towns of scholars are twenty-one.

The city did not send troops, but provided baggage, ordnance, and relied on commerce to ensure the expenditure of troops.

The barons sent troops, and each commune could send two thousand men, twenty horse-mounted chariots, twenty chariots, sixty ox carts, plus more than a thousand levies.

There are twenty-one baronies and cities in the country, and Duke Qi Huan holds eleven in his hands, all six cities plus five baronies. The two families sent by Zhou Tianzi to monitor the country and the high can nominally lead five baronies. When the troops were dispatched, it happened to be the left, center, and right armies.

30,000 people, 1,000 cars. Guan Zhong ordered a company of 200 people, a brigade of 2,000 people, and an army of 10,000 people, and the entire Qi country could recruit 150 companies and at least 500 nobles above the corporal level after the reform.

No matter how the nobles below jumped, the five baronies and six cities in the hands of Duke Qi Huan were absolute advantages and could completely control the situation.

In the era when chariot warfare was still the mainstream, this system must be maintained, otherwise there would be no way to fight if there was no chariot.

I just can't figure it out, with the expansion of the scale of the war, how do these drivers and archery taxis ensure that they are semi-full-time?

Bows and arrows are not crossbows and muskets, and random people are recruited to shoot arrows on chariots, unless Qi Huan is a true person, as his name suggests, is a novice.

Did the serfs of the Qiudian village community pay the rent of labor only to the monarch and the largest feudal lord in fulfillment of feudal obligations? Or is it also necessary to cultivate the commons of the nobles of the hill horses and fulfill feudal obligations to the lower nobles?

Or are these low-level nobles like Bayala and Baijia soldiers under the Manchu slavery? Have their own small plots of land, cultivated by domestic slaves or serfs, and as their wartime apprentices, they only have to fulfill feudal obligations and servitude rents to the king, and have no feudal obligations to the wartime direct administration of the lower nobles?

This is important.

Very important.

It is much simpler if it is only to fulfill feudal obligations to the monarch and feudal lords, the village community is autonomous, and the low-ranking nobles have their own small fiefs and domestic slaves.

No matter what is preached or changed, it is difficult for someone to directly come forward to govern it, and it will not harm the interests of the low-level and grass-roots nobles.

If it is the latter, those lower nobles are both military governors and civil officials, and these farmers must give unpaid labor to the lower nobles, then this is very troublesome.

The things that he is going to do are likely to cause dissatisfaction among the low-level nobles, and the so-called not afraid of the county officials is only afraid of the current management.

It is said that at this time, the etiquette is broken, and what he urgently needs to know is to what extent it has collapsed, so that he can choose the most suitable means to start.
