Chapter 961: Red and White
Of course, Zhou Shaoyu didn't know what Dong Xiaowan had misunderstood, no matter how evil he was, he didn't have a ghost in his heart, how could he think of a ghost.
But after all, I didn't mention last night's incident, in the end, I talked for so long in the middle of the night, although I sat upright, but it was inevitable that people would misunderstand and think about it. Unless he was found and took the initiative to inquire, Zhou Shaoyu decided not to say it.
Dong Xiaowan was at a loss, so she naturally didn't dare to ask, for fear that things would really be as she imagined.
Well, in fact, Dong Xiaowan cared too much, and when she thought about it preconceivedly, she was flustered, and she didn't pay attention to many flaws.
Originally, if there was really anything, it would not be strong enough to hide it? Make sure that the tub or something is cleaned up long ago, and you will never leave a coat in such a conspicuous place as the table, which is not in line with stealing at all...... The common sense of love.
In the end, it is a big coffee who has been mixed on the banks of the Qinhuai River, at least the disguise is a bargain, there is no reason to come to the guest, you are in a bad mood and send it away, no, you have to forcibly clean up your mood and smile.
When Zhou Shaoyu woke up, Dong Xiaowan dressed him gently and virtuously as usual.
It's good to die, and the Bai family on the other side also woke up together, and they all walked out of the house together, since this is the case, it is naturally breakfast together.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Dong Xiaowan always feels that her mother feels much brighter......
Nonsense, it's been stuffy for a long time, it's easy to talk to someone, although the identity of the other party and the time at that time are a bit weak, but as far as she is concerned, it is rare to have so many words, her heart is not so depressed, and her mood is naturally a lot better, more or less from the inside and outside.
However, for Dong Xiaowan, it is even more difficult to choose. On the one hand, there is a mother who depends on each other, and on the other hand, there is a lover of his own family, and he is reluctant to do any of them, what can he do? Dong Xiaowan sighed in her heart, and finally decided to be patient for the time being.
Zhou Shaoyu came back in a low-key manner, even if he came back, he lived in a shallow way and didn't plan to show his face, and there was no way, who asked Gao Yuyao to seal the King of Jin and let him clean up the Turks.
If you don't clean it up, the world can understand, after all, the strength is there, and Shan Zhou Shaoyu can't beat the Turks on the side. However, if it is known that there is still leisure to run to Tanzhou, this is not conducive to his image, the north has been plagued by the Turks like that, and it may continue to be plagued, shouldn't it be guarded at a critical moment?
Anyway, the girls only take care of the territory in an orderly manner, and Zhou Shaoyu doesn't have much impact if he doesn't come forward, in this case, it's better to accompany his own sisters, people's hard work to help, it's rare to have an insight, and I'm sorry for others.
But now that I'm back, of course, I have to inspect it, and I will clap my palms decisively and come to a micro-service private visit to observe the people's feelings, and it's just fun.
So I took a few girls and went out to see if there was a chance to encounter injustices and pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger.
As for the candidates, they are mainly those who are more low-key or have a shorter time together, such as the Cai sisters, Xiao Qi Ji, Shangguan Wan'er, Xiao Meiniang, after thinking about it, they brought Dong Xiaowan and the Bai family with them, especially the latter, don't always be bored at home.
I never thought that Xiao Meiniang and Bai had a good chat, both of them believed in Buddhism, so they naturally had a lot of common topics.
But as a result, Dong Xiaowan thought about it a lot, a few days ago, the Bai family suddenly brightened, but it returned to normal day by day, and he always felt a little twilight, but now that he came out together, his complexion was much better, and Dong Xiaowan, who had been biased, naturally thought of Zhou Shaoyu.
This year is also a good year in recent years, at least Tanzhou, Chenghui two places harvest quite a lot, it is the day of the autumn harvest, everywhere, people everywhere are happy, basically as long as not a lazy, even if it is alone, not only can mix a food and clothing, save a few years, the cost of dowry and wife is still enough.
Speaking of which, this year is also the year of the skyrocketing number of newborns, at the beginning, Zhou Shaoyu tossed half of the beam, and placed so many displaced people sent by Gao Yuyao in Tanzhou and Chenghuizhou, most of which are mainly women.
Population growth is good, of course, but it is also necessary to think about the long term.
Nowadays, the land of the two states seems to be stable, but in fact, there are still many hidden dangers in the dark. Take the Zeng family, a large landowner in Jianchu County, for example, this year's autumn harvest is definitely unfriendly to them.
But anyone who has studied history knows that there must be a big reason for the eventual demise of ancient dynasties, and that is land annexation.
One of the reasons for the emergence of prosperity at the beginning of every dynasty is that after large-scale wars, the domestic population has plummeted, large and small families have reshuffled, land has been redistributed, and the people have land in their hands, which means that there is a harvest, and a harvest means that they have a way to live and have money to spare, and they can live a better life.
In the later stage of development, the class was consolidated, most of the land in the world fell into the hands of a small number of people, and the people were displaced, and naturally there were troubled times.
Therefore, for the ancient times when the productive forces were backward, land was the most important thing.
Chenghui Prefecture is good to say, after many years of chaos and then fought again, there is basically no big family, land is distributed at will, and there are no hidden dangers for the time being. But Tanzhou is different, although there have been wars, but there are still no large-scale conflicts, and the family forces in various places have been well preserved. In the case that people have not made mistakes, there is no reason to purge and punish them.
Then the problem comes, more than 300 years ago, these local forces have already annexed a lot of land, and it will inevitably cause turmoil, but if you don't think of a way, the people have no land, and the roots have not been solved, and then the chaos will still be chaotic.
After thinking about it, in the end, what Tanzhou implemented was to call for famine, and the newly opened land was used for distribution, perhaps a little farther away, but as long as there was land, it was nothing for the people to take a few more steps.
It's just that in this way, every family has their own land, and there is enough land, how can they run to work as tenants for large households to help people farm land. Not to mention the tiredness, you have to look at the eyes of others, you have to pay taxes and rent, and you are tired after a year, and there is not much food in hand.
At the same time as the people had a bumper harvest, those big landlords were sad, the good fertile land was uncultivated, and large tracts of land were wasted, and there were weeds as far as the eye could see. That's it, the family foundation is thick enough, it's not that it can't be supported, but the autumn harvest also means paying taxes, and the implementation of this aspect is a bit similar to the 'I Daqing' policy of apportioning into the mu.
Depending on the size of a household, the more land per capita there is, the higher the tax. As for whether your land grows food or not...... I'm sorry, but I still have to take it!
It is estimated that if it goes on like this, as long as the local people's land is not violated, in a few years, those big households should sell their land, and they can't afford to raise it!
There may still be many drawbacks, but it is the most suitable strategy for now.
"I think we can add another one, we can draw a line, when the per capita land exceeds a certain limit, the more people in a household, the proportion of tax payment will be further increased!" Looking at the barren fertile fields while harvesting, Zhou Shaoyu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he held back a bad idea.
Shangguan Wan'er glanced at Zhou Shaoyu in surprise, she really thought that she was just out to relax, after all, Zhou Shaoyu really didn't care about anything when she came back this time, and she didn't even show her face to the outside world, so she was still paying attention to thinking all the time.
"Zhou Langjun is trying to force big families to split up?" The above official Wan'er's political intelligence immediately understood Zhou Shaoyu's purpose.
"Yes, yes." Zhou Shaoyu nodded. "There are big or small conflicts in any family, but in today's environment, they are basically suppressed by the head of the family or the older generation, and they are united with the outside world. It's okay to say if the strength is still small, but what if a family is big enough to influence a state and county or even national politics?
It is true that if the family is separated, the blood relationship that should exist will not change. But the difference between dividing and not dividing is indeed not small, regardless of separation, all members of the family should have the obligation to fulfill for 'everyone'. And the separation of the family, but can be completely refused, the so-called family has a difficult scripture, no family is completely harmonious and beautiful, mutual care and support is still possible, but it is no longer so easy to be completely single-minded. ”
Zhou Shaoyu is thinking about the future from the position of the highest authority, and in all dynasties, there is no way to suppress the valve of the family, but it is not up to whether he has the ability to suppress it.
Although the Han Dynasty was powerful, it was those large and small families that actually controlled the place.
Why did the Sui Dynasty establish the imperial examination system? Why didn't Wu Zetian basically put down the butcher's knife of the big family? Isn't that obvious?
Although the forced separation did not fundamentally solve the problem, of course, it is not possible to solve the problem fundamentally. As the saying goes, a person gets the way and the chicken dog ascends to heaven, in fact, this sentence is the most suitable in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, if a person was developed, if he didn't bring his family or even his clansmen, it would be rebellious, unkind, and unjust, and no one would be willing to take care of you if it was spread, which meant that if you didn't want to help, you had to help.
But there is still a difference in how to help nature, one's own family and clansmen, in the end, two concepts.
With the environment of Daliang at this time, there are still many big families, and there are many Jiangmen alone, not to mention Wenchen, which must be suppressed in the future. It may not be enough to reach the strength of a chaotic country, but even if it only affects the local area, it is extremely bad for those in power.
The whole country is so big, and one or two big families influence the place in one place, so is the policy of the imperial court still promoted? How can we control the locality, stabilize the country, and enhance the national strength?
Maybe there are some policies that Zhou Shaoyu can't see at all as a future generation, but he will still choose to implement them, but the reason is simple, the feudal system has been maintained for so many years, and some things that are unacceptable to later generations are taken for granted in ancient times. Moreover, Zhou Shaoyu is sitting in a different position now, and the way of thinking naturally needs to be changed.
In the absence of high technology, it is by no means easy to manage and control a huge country, and under the condition of ensuring its own power, everything must be based on stability, so as to achieve long-term peace and stability.
After inspecting the circle, I had some thoughts, and I was thinking about it, but I never thought that I was surrounded by a team of officials!
The attitude is quite polite, which makes Zhou Shaoyu quite satisfied, after all, he is now dressed as an ordinary scholar, and he is not dressed very luxuriously, and the appearance and decoration of the carriage are also very ordinary, and the girls are also quite low-key, and they are also dressed ordinary, giving people the feeling that they are probably middle-class.
asked about the intention, Zhou Shaoyu also couldn't cry or laugh, saying that he had received a report that a man was traveling with several girls, and the relationship was extremely close. You must know that in the land of the two states now, it is not easy to take concubines with the implemented system, Zhou Shaoyu took his sister to swagger through the market like this, which aroused suspicion and jealousy.
It was difficult to return the service, because it was impossible for Zhou Shaoyu to deny the relationship, but at the same time, he didn't want to expose his whereabouts, so he went directly to the county government and contacted the county order privately. The latter was taken aback, good guy, his own big boss appeared on the ground under his jurisdiction silently, fortunately, he thought he was conscientious, even if there was an omission, there was no big mistake, but he was not afraid to investigate.
After chatting for a while, the county magistrate inquired in private, and really made some troubles.
The identity of the whistleblower is the servant of the local big Li family, the instigator is the second son of the Li family, and the conspirators are two other former talents of the Liang family, of course, this thing is not used in Tanzhou now. In addition to the conspirators, there is the current county lieutenant.
How can the girl around Zhou Shaoyu not be beautiful, just happened to be looked at, and when she saw that it was a foreigner, she moved her mind, the current new policy, a young man is never qualified to marry such a wife and concubine, normal means first check and get into the county office, and then secretly use some means to coerce, in the end, is it ......
Do you still need to mention it?
Ha, Zhou Shaoyu is also angry, he dares to beat Xiao Jiujiu on his own sister's head? I dare to do this kind of thing in my own territory, and I am also bold, and I don't know how many bad things I have done behind my back. In addition, thinking of so much wasteland abandoned by the Li family, Zhou Shaoyu was also distressed, this is just one place, and the whole Tanzhou adds up to how many fertile fields have not been cultivated, so how much grain does it have to produce?
"It just so happens that the eggs of the turtles are shrinking so badly, there is no reason to kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys, since they are all sent to the door, there is no reason not to slaughter." Zhou Shaoyu sneered in his heart. "It seems that a new deal has to be added, and those whose fields are barren and abandoned will be punished! Heavy penalties! ”
The county magistrate who received the instructions was also sincerely afraid, although this matter had nothing to do with him, but in the end, it happened within his jurisdiction, and he had nothing to say if it really implicated. hurriedly expressed his loyalty and said: "The lower officials will handle this matter properly, and please ...... Please ask the prince and the ladies to rest for a few days......"
Thinking that Zhou Shaoyu's identity should be kept secret, he was stunned and called his son directly, as for 'several ladies'......
Bai Shi was a little uncomfortable, but it was not easy to come out to explain anything, and his face was red and white for a while. Under such a 'default', Dong Xiaowan also has a little red and white, well, although it is all red and white, but the meaning is a little different.
