- "The Book of Poetry, Tang Feng Without Clothes"

There are actually two poems about the Chinese style of "No Clothes" in the "Book of Songs", one is naturally the wind of the Qin State, which talks about the iron horse soldiers; One is Tang Feng, the so-called "Tang" in the Tang Dynasty is actually the Jin Kingdom in the "Three Families Divide Jin", the description of the Jin Kingdom without clothes is that it tells the story of someone's wife who is ingenious and has a very happy and warm family life. Unfortunately, his wife died early, and one day he picked up his clothes and wanted to wear them. The poems are unpretentious and flow from the heart.

"The Book of Poetry Qin Feng No Clothes" is generally used as a military song of the nations, not only the Qin army will sing, in the Warring States Period, the two sides can often be heard singing to each other "how can it be said that there is no clothes" to fight, and then in the historical process, "with the son" and "Wang Yuxingshi" has also been sung on the land of China, has always been one of the typical military songs in China.

After waiting for the real approach of the chariot that Lu Zhe was riding, a war drum was sounded along with the accompaniment of the horn, and after the rapid war drum, a flat piece of music replaced the war drum and entered the moment of playing Ya music.

Obviously, the playing of Yale is also part of the welcoming ceremony, in fact, if the ancient rites are fully followed, the scene should have the existence of the thorny gate.

The so-called "thorn gate" is a wooden gate built casually with thorns and firewood, and its function is similar to that of the modern triumphal arch. After the soldiers who go out to fight through the thorny gate, they are automatically relieved of the responsibility of service. That is, the soldiers of the thorny gate are no longer under the command of the generals, and they can go home.

After all, the soldiers of the Spring and Autumn Period were basically from the nobility, and later with the increasing scale of the war, the "nationals", that is, the so-called free people, were also conscripted, and enlisting in the army was no longer the patent of the nobles, and the slaves were also armed in large numbers in the back, and the process of form would naturally change.

The greeting at the border of Zhili County is only the first "procedure", not the concept of "how many miles out of the royal city" to greet, this "procedure" is actually more to welcome the soldiers than to welcome the king, and the intention is also to let the fathers and elders of the hometown know that the soldiers who went out to fight are back, and the real grand ceremony is in the part of entering the royal city.

After officially entering the territory of Nanjun and stopping Yale, Lu Zhe stood on the chariot and needed to greet the leaders of Qian. The greeting ceremony here is to thank the father and the villagers for handing over their sons, husbands, and mothers to Lu Zhe, and thank the leaders of Qiantou for insisting on giving birth after he went on the expedition.

According to the real ceremony, after Lu Zhe finished greeting, he could actually order the army to be disbanded, and the soldiers who returned from the expedition usually had half a month's vacation. However, the current ceremony did not carry out that part, just because the nature of the army brought back by Lu Zhe was a little different, the soldiers belonged to the forbidden army sequence, and the forbidden army was the prince's own army, not an ordinary army.

How could the forbidden army, whose duty was to protect the king, be "scattered in a hurry"? The soldiers of the forbidden army will naturally have holidays, but that is when the king returns to the royal city, and then there will be a group of organized people to take turns on holidays. However, there was no such restriction on the auxiliaries and civilian soldiers who returned with the army, so the sequence of Lu Zhe's order to disband was those auxiliary soldiers and civilian soldiers.

It stands to reason that it is a pleasure to be able to rest on vacation, but the auxiliaries who have been ordered to turn in their ordnance and go home are not so happy, and if given the choice, they would rather be among those who still need to perform their duties.

By the way, the auxiliaries of the Han army also need to be added to the combat sequence in many cases, so the auxiliaries also have standard weapons, and some auxiliaries will also issue armor because of special tasks, but the armor issued is generally light armor such as leather armor. In addition to the standard ordnance issued by the army, auxiliaries can actually prepare their own weapons or armor. Auxiliaries are because the ordnance issued is simple and need to prepare their own weapons, and the choice is according to their own ability, although the soldiers can be armed by the army to the teeth, but the rich soldiers are actually more gorgeous than the auxiliaries in the preparation of private weapons.

The auxiliaries have been disbanded first, but the people are lining up to receive their wages, but that has nothing to do with leaving the scene Lu Zhe, including the civil and military officials, and the soldiers, only the head of Qiantou is still watching.

The Han Dynasty first imitated the Qin system and popularized the Qin half tael in currency, and later carried out monetary reform, keeping the Qin half tael coins while adding a "five baht" monetary unit. The reason for the increase of five baht coins is quite simple, the face value of Qin half two coins is a bit large, which is not conducive to trading. In the back, the five-baht coin does not seem to be adaptable, that is because of the increase in private capital, people with a few dollars in their pockets have a strong desire to buy, and many odd and bits of goods do not reach the value of a five-baht coin, so there is a need for new currency reform, but there is no new currency into the market at present.

The absence of a new currency is not because the government does not see the needs of the people, nor because the government does not have enough adaptability, but because Lu Zhe knows very well that monetary reform cannot be frequent, and too frequent monetary reform will only make the value of the currency chaotic. Once monetary chaos is created, then economic turmoil will follow.

There are a lot of things that Lu Zhe needs to do to return to Nanling this time, and the thing about the monetary system is one of them, but it will be a matter that takes time, and the final monetary system is certainly not like paper, and the progress of society has not yet reached that point, and the country's credit cannot be wasted in this regard. Therefore, the monetary system of gold, silver and copper is the most suitable, and as for the inconvenience brought by the bulk trade, etc., Lu Zhe will certainly not let go of the construction of the Yinzhuang (bank) system, and it is also laying the foundation for future paper money.

The route of return was from the direction of Nanyang County, and on the way back, Lu Zhe also included Nanyang County into the territory of his rule, and the first county they arrived in Nanjun was Ye County.

Ye County is in the northernmost part of Nan County, and there has been one of the most dangerous crises on the road to Lu Zhe's rise here, and the so-called crisis is naturally the time when Sima Xin led more than 100,000 Qin troops.

Before the real rise, Lu Zhe carried out the plan to build Nanjun into a military fortress, and quite a lot of military facilities were built on the border of Nanjun, the most common of which was naturally the fortress fort, and there were also garrison forts on various key roads and dangerous positions.

The danger of Nanjun in the back decreased with Lu Zhe's outward expansion, and the subsequent unfinished military forts remained on paper, but the military facilities built in large quantities before were not demolished, and there was no need to demolish them, after all, Zhili County and ordinary counties are always fundamentally different.

Following the arrival all the way south, the second county to arrive in the return army was Yan County. The castle of this county town has been expanded several times, and in the early stage, because it was used as a material reserve for the northern defense base, the walls of the city were higher than those of the first line of the county, but the later expansion formed a strange scene, a situation where the town surrounded the city.

There are many interpretations of the word "town", but there is only one explanation that appears in the layout of the castle, and that is the shopping market. The word "town" appeared in the spring and autumn period, also because the population increased and the area of the castle was insufficient, and people gradually integrated their habitat in the city walls, so it can also be interpreted as "town".

"Both Ye County and Yan County are located on the edge of the Han River, and the convenience of the water system coupled with our expansion to the north has not only made the number of state-owned materials pass through more frequently, but also the number of times that private goods need to pass through is also increasing, so the commercial development of the two places is very rapid."

"Will it take away from the military's resources?"

"The military's transport team has a fixed time, and the civilian businessmen take advantage of the military's rest."

"Oh......"

There is one thing that has to be mentioned, under the operation of Lu Zhe, the construction of the road has not stopped, Nanjun as a county of Zhili must have a road to link the counties of the world, the road built is state-owned, the government stipulates that in special events and a fixed time limit only for official use, the rest of the time is not restricted, Qianshou can be used for free, but in the transportation of goods is to pay a certain fee.

Speaking of which, although the state invests money and hires manpower to build, there must always be a return, right? You can't get a return on the government (including the army), and you can't ask for the head of Qian, so you can only target the businessman. In fact, the merchants are also the most dependent on the road, there is convenient transportation can save a lot of time for the merchants, and the national highway with the garrison to maintain law and order ensures the safety of the goods, not to mention the frequent use of the merchants to wear and tear on the road, so a certain amount of cost has become a matter of course.

What is the attitude of merchants towards the need to pay for transporting goods? What attitude can they have, they are businessmen and understand that any investment needs to be rewarded. Compared with the delay in transportation and their own manpower investment, paying fees can be convenient in many ways, they will think that they are using the road to generate benefits, the government as an investor has the right to use, the use of the head of the Qiantou has not generated benefits, and the benefits will naturally have to be paid accordingly, but it is just another kind of tax behavior.

"Every road has a specific toll for a lifetime, and many roads can't recover their investment until the end of the year." Xiao He was originally chatting with Sima Xin, and as he spoke, he was reporting to Lu Zhe: "Especially in areas where commerce is not developed, investment is destined to not be rewarded. ”

Lu Zhe didn't speak, he just smiled.

Roads are naturally planned because they are needed, and investment needs to be rewarded for economic benefits, but many things in the use of the state cannot be simply described by value. Because of the development of roads, the state can quickly deploy troops to the areas where it is needed, and the development of roads also leads to more effective local governance. So, there is no better reward for the country than this.

They did not stop in Yan County, and continued south along the avenue until they were close to Yiling.

Because of the establishment of Nanling, the population of the counties around Nanling has actually undergone a large number of unofficial migrations, and the population has basically moved to Nanling to live, and many areas close to the Nanling area have become suburban land.

Nanling Castle is located on the edge of the Yangtze River, occupying a wide range of plains, and some areas even include mountains. As LΓΌ Zhe's rule became more stable and the country became stronger and stronger, the population of Nanling was growing explosively at a very rapid pace.

It is foreseeable that Nanling will become a city across the Yangtze River in the future, and the Yangtze River can be expected to become an inland river with the expansion of the city, but I don't know how long it will take.

"There is not enough technology to build a bridge across both sides of the river, and pontoon bridges and chain bridges alone cannot carry its flow."

"Yes, Your Majesty. He thought that expansion to the other side of the river was the trend, but it was not rational to expand to the south bank of the Yangtze River until the technology had accumulated enough capacity to build one or more bridges across the Yangtze River. ”

This topic will end here for the time being, Lu Zhe beckoned the two children to lean over: "Do you know what meaning Yiling will become?" ”

The two children looked at each other for a while, and Lu Qi, as usual humble, secretly signaled Lu Yi to speak first.

"I know, I know, I want to build a 'martyr's garden', which will become the second holiest place in the future."

Lu Zhe seemed to frown, not because Lu Yi didn't answer well, but because of the way the two brothers got along.

"Why the second holiest place?"

"The first sacred place is Miyagi, where my father lives, and statues of my father and my uncles will be erected inside and outside, and they will be erected for eternity."

"......" Lu Zhe didn't know if Lu Yi thought about it himself or who taught it, but it was obvious that he had a strong political taste.

Thousands? Forever? Is there really a country that will continue forever? But it's relatively good for a child to have that idea.

Lu Zhe turned his head to look at Xiao He: "Ruling the government, what is the policy for the residents who have not relocated to Yiling?" ”

Xiao He replied: "There are still 7,321 residents in the area designated as the 'Martyrs' Garden', and those who are willing to leave will gradually relocate, and those who are not willing to leave will become all aspects of the cemetery after consultation. ”

The construction of the Martyrs' Garden will be a big project, and Lu Zhe also hopes that it will become a symbolic place, so the specifications adopted in the planning should not be sloppy at all. In addition, Lu Zhe also let go, after his death, he will also be buried in the Martyrs' Garden, in a sense, the country's successive rulers will also be buried here after their deaths, so who dares not to pay attention to it?

"It will become a holy place, and hopefully it will also carry the will of our nation." R1152
