Chapter 0898 - Joys and sorrows are not connected
Ma Tian walked over to Li Ming with two bowls in his hands.
Li Ming didn't bother to get up, so he directly stretched out his hand to ask for it.
Ma Tian took his hand back again, and looked at Li Ming, who looked a little wanderer:
"Have you washed your hands?"
Li Ming pursed his lips and gestured to the soap powder not far away:
"Eat without washing your hands, and I'm waiting for a deduction?"
Last year, the white disaster in Liangzhou almost caused a wave of refugees in Liangzhou.
Fortunately, Feng Langjun's golden signboard is hard enough, coupled with Feng Tingshi's business in Longyou in the early years, he is making up for it.
Therefore, this can barely lead the people of Liangzhou to tide over this difficulty.
Now plus the early years, although Cao Cao sent Xiahou Yuan to pacify Liangzhou, the local rebellion in Liangzhou has never stopped over the years.
As a result of the protracted unrest, a large amount of land has been abandoned.
In addition, most of the Qianghu in Liangzhou are half-cultivated and half-pasted, and if they don't farm, if they have enough cattle and sheep in the clan, they can survive.
As a result, even in a short period of stability, the recovery rate of cultivation in Liangzhou was much inferior to that of the Central Plains.
Until there was a Feng Langjun in the south.
He brought a new concept of the Han Dynasty as the same as the Han Dynasty, and also brought the advanced cultivation methods of the Shu land.
He is a good man in the eyes of the Hu people.
Under his leadership, the Hanhu people, who could not survive the white disaster, began to build water conservancy and reclaim wasteland.
At the same time as the arrival of Shi Liaohua, the new governor of Liangzhou Thorn Mansion, he also brought a batch of grain.
Finally, the problem of food shortage in the Thorn Mansion was completely alleviated.
The remaining shortage can be solved by Dongfeng Express slowly transporting grain from Shudi.
In addition, the market regulation role of the Nanxiang Exchange, as well as the grain that Feng Tingshi got in Liangzhou, are enough to support the Tingshi Mansion to carry out work-for-relief calmly.
The fields that were opened up were divided into seven points by the Han and Hu people, which was very fair.
Really fair.
Because of the PY transaction between Feng Tingshi and the Liangzhou family, the grassland needs a large number of herdsmen, and the workshop needs a large number of handymen.
The Han people are naturally more attached to the land.
And the Hu people are more likely to get started with livestock.
The implicit regulation of the government can make the Hu people more inclined to enter the pastures and workshops.
Ma Tian and Li Ming, who came to Liangzhou to participate in the examination, took the first step to participate in this cash-for-work exercise.
The infrastructure project of the Liangzhou Thorn Mansion is not the same as the traditional military service organized by the government.
The people are like in the army, ten people into a shi, fifty people into a team, a hundred people into a tun, and so on.
What Ma Tian and Li Ming have to do is to lead the people assigned to them to complete the tasks assigned to them to repair canals or open up wasteland on time.
Of course, the change of identity is too big, and many scholars still react very strongly.
But there is Zhang Xiaosi in the Assassin's Mansion, so he is naturally prepared.
With Feng Tingshi's current identity, coupled with Feng Langjun's unique stunt "clever words", he is not afraid of fighting with literati at all.
A sentence of "for heaven and earth, for heaven and earth, for the people, for the sake of the saints, for the sake of peace", is enough to make the world's scholars obediently shut up.
However, "If you can't lead a hundred people to rule a canal, how can you rule the world?" ”
Since you have the ability, prove it!
It's not that you won't be given the opportunity to prove it.
The exam is your chance to prove that you can be a herder.
As long as you can complete the tasks assigned by the Assassin's Office, someone will record the work.
If you accumulate enough points within three months, you will be able to pass the first stage of the exam.
It means that you already have the most basic pastoral skills.
Of course, if you perform well and save enough work points in advance, you can also pass the first three months of the exam in advance.
But it's not an easy thing to do.
Because a scholar must at least receive a centurion, he must not only know how to coordinate distribution, but also know how to organize manpower.
At the same time, the scholar must constantly sum up his experience and complete the task as soon as possible.
Also know how to rule out disputes.
After all, the people are not emotionally charged robots, and they are also a mix of Han and Hu, and it is inevitable that there are some contradictions on weekdays.
How many years has the Nanxiang engineering team been in business?
How many people can do how much earthwork, is there anything in the world that knows better than them?
The tasks assigned according to the head are all given by pinching.
If you want to fool around, you can't do it.
If you do it according to the schedule, you can barely complete it at most.
Only those who have at least a few abilities are likely to stand out.
If that's all it takes, in the first stage of the examination in Liangzhou, there is still such an operation as deducting work points.
For example, open defecation, not washing hands before eating, and many other rules.
Not only should the scholars take the lead in observing, but they should also pay attention to the people they lead.
"I really didn't think about it before, but it's just to lead hundreds of people, it's not easy."
Li Ming took the bean soup handed over by Ma Tian, took a sip, and then said with emotion.
Although there were some complaints, the tone was obviously a little proud.
Much has changed since I first arrived.
The reason is simple.
Such a strict and thorough examination course can only show that the Liangzhou Thorn History Mansion has been prepared for a long time.
In other words, the selection of talents in the examination is far more serious than imagined.
It turned out that there were some people in Shuzhong who were worried that this move was to appease the wealthy families in Liangzhou, and they were all secretly relieved.
Ma Tian and Li Ming, because of their outstanding performance, already have more than 300 people under their hands, and the courses that have passed the first stage of the examination have basically been decided.
As long as they submit a well-seen argument, they will be promoted.
"If you don't bow down, you don't know the complexity of the world, who wouldn't talk about governing the world?"
Ma Tian also sat down beside Li Ming, holding the bowl and answering with emotion.
After drinking a bowl of soybean soup, the heat on his body seemed to be reduced, and Li Ming asked:
"I heard that two days ago, in order to rush work, some people asked people to work in the scorching sun at noon, causing several people to have sha, what happened in the end?"
Ma Tian is far better than Li Ming in dealing with others, and can often hear news from some channels that others do not know.
He was able to reply:
"It is said that the qualifications of the management of the people have been suspended, and how to deal with it in the end, and look at the news of the Assassin's Mansion."
Ma Tian shook his head as he spoke:
"When the Han Dynasty returned to Liangzhou at the beginning, it was necessary to pay attention to buying people's hearts. In my opinion, this time the construction of water conservancy and the reclamation of wasteland are precisely this intention. ”
"If this matter spreads and is used by someone with a heart, it cannot be said to hinder the reputation of the Assassin's Mansion. Therefore, in my opinion, I am afraid that the Assassin Mansion should handle this matter carefully. ”
Every day at noon, the people should be allowed to rest for an hour, which is the rule set by the Assassin's Office.
Because the people only eat morning and evening, at noon, they can drink some bean soup to relieve the heat.
But they are doing heavy physical work, so naturally they can't be forced too much.
The two were chatting when a cheer was heard not far away.
Then there was the faint sound of singing and singing:
"The concubine's forehead is covered at the beginning, so she folds the flowers, and the drama in front of the door ......"
Li Ming sighed and asked Ma Tian:
"You say, what would Feng Tingshi feel if he heard that his poems had been changed to look like this?"
Ma Tian's face was unimpressed, and he smiled:
"Feng Tingshi may not be unaware of this. Since no one stopped it, it means that the top is acquiescing. ”
As he spoke, he squeezed his eyes, "When you rest on a hot day, letting those people listen to these tunes can also boost morale." ”
Li Ming smiled bitterly.
As a reader, it couldn't be worse to hear that a famous poem was changed into a mess by the servants and sung to the people.
But the people at the bottom don't have any entertainment activities on weekdays, and after a long time, it's a little too depressing.
So the servant of the construction site appeared.
It's not rapping or storytelling.
It's a mess of talking, and it's even more a mess of singing.
But those people like to listen to this tune.
Every time it's time for a lunch break, they don't need to arrange it, they will vacate their seats and wait for the servants to appear.
Listening to Li Ming's ears, it was a bad heart.
But in the eyes of the people, it is something that is looking forward to it.
They are all vulgar and mud-legged, and they don't know a single word, who can understand those elegant songs?
So this rap and storytelling, the more straightforward the better, the more cheesy the better.
It's just that it's too vulgar, and sometimes it's a little excessive.
So when he heard that the little dragon girl was defiled by Cao someone, who made a living from obscene sacrifices, but the folk husband who was nervous and couldn't help himself was in an uproar.
But when I saw a man stand up suddenly, he scolded with anger on his face:
"Shaft dares!"
While scolding, he slammed the clod of dirt in his hand at the storyteller.
Unexpectedly, the storyteller had already been prepared, his body was short, and his skills were very flexible to drill under the table.
The clods flew backwards and landed directly into the crowd behind.
I don't know which unlucky ghost I hit, I only heard a miserable scream, and then another scolding: "Poor man! ”
was already on fire by the storyteller, and everyone sitting in the shed was a little commotionous at this time.
"What for?!"
But when I saw a few stewards guarding the door of the shed, they shouted, "I don't want to hear it, do you?" ”
The shed immediately fell silent.
"There is food, drink, shelter, and listening to books, where can I find such a day? What's the fuss? If you don't want to hear it, go to work! ”
The storyteller poked his head out from under the table to make sure it was safe, then got back up and wiped a cold sweat.
This is not the first time he has encountered such a situation.
The steward motioned for Mr. Storyteller to continue.
Then after sitting down again, he muttered:
"Why can Guo Jing marry someone like Huang Rong's heavenly immortal, but when he comes to Yang Guo, it is all tribulation......
Another steward said: "That's it, that Lanling Xiaoxiao is not a son of man!" If he were standing in front of me right now, I would have to smack him a few big mouths! ”
"That's right, not only to smoke, but also to let him change it well, change it unsatisfactorily, and then continue to smoke! Draw until you are satisfied! ”
A few stewards were smacking someone's big mouth obscenely, while discussing how to modify it to be satisfied.
It wasn't until the sun outside was a little away and cooler that he got up and beckoned:
"When the time comes, pack up and get ready to work."
Everyone let out a sigh in unison, but reluctantly got up.
"Hurry up, hurry up, do your job well, and when it's time for dinner, there will be a fairy club coming over!"
Then there was another uproar.
The reaction of everyone was even more exciting than that of the little dragon girl being defiled by the lewd sacrifice.
"Really?"
"Do you really want to come here?"
"What's the use of lying to you? They were at the construction site in the north a few days ago, and now it's our turn. ”
"Great!"
"Do you want to hurry up if you know? The construction site in the north was well done, and the Xian'er Club sang for five nights in a row. If we don't do a good job here, we can't say we'll leave tonight. ”
"Don't!"
"Work hard, work hard!"
Probably under the influence of the Xinghan Society, Dahan also quietly rose up a trend of opening a club.
Especially in Nanxiang, because of the increasing number of foot coolies, the gangs and factions with the Zhongyi Temple as the center of activities naturally rose.
This fairy club, don't look at the name is good, but in fact, it is a rap group composed of several people.
There are many rap groups at various infrastructure construction sites in Liangzhou, performing folk art for the people, and the Xian'er Club is one of them.
There are two women in this club, I heard that they are still from the Western Regions, they look really good, and most importantly, they are good at belly dancing.
That little waist, tsk!
Anyway, in the eyes of the people, he really looks like a fairy.
There must be heels, otherwise such a tolerant and artistic woman would have been hidden in the backyard by someone for a long time.
Legend, just legend, someone specially transported a group of women who were good at dancing from the Western Regions, originally thinking of giving them to Feng Tingshi.
I didn't know that Feng Jianshi was an upright person and didn't like women, so he sent them to Nanxiang to learn to sing and be a servant.
This fairy society is said to be related to that group of women.
I don't know if it's true or not, but it's true that the people are happy to see it.
After all, I used to face the loess with my back to the sky, and go home at night to see the yellow face.
Where has there been such entertainment?
Therefore, the storyteller and rapper, the encouragement of the people is really not ordinarily high, which greatly reduces the burden of the grassroots management personnel on the construction site.
Because the two Han Dynasty had a resolute attitude of retribution against obscenity and filth.
Therefore, this kind of action can also make the general public realize the harm of obscene sacrifices.
For example, Cao someone, who defiled the little dragon girl, has been cursed all year round.
The first half of the 10th year of Jianxing was probably one of the few quiet days in these years.
Ji Han and Cao Wei fought a big battle last year, and they both needed to take a good breather for two or three years before they could recover.
And there are a lot of things going on within the two countries.
For example, Ji Han needs to digest Liangzhou well, and at the same time, he must also mobilize a large amount of grain to transport it to Liangzhou.
As for Cao Wei, the most important thing now is to strengthen the defense of Guanzhong.
Probably because Cao Rong has really been unfavorable in these years.
Compared with Adou's happy prince in Hanzhong, in February, Cao Rong's newborn daughter Cao Shu died.
Cao Rong does not have many children, two sons have died young, and now there are only two daughters and one son left.
Now that he has a daughter, Cao Rong can't help but be grief-stricken, so he ordered a temple in Luoyang and was buried in Nanling.
Not only did he stop the court to personally mourn, but he also asked the ministers of the court and the central government to go to mourn.
This made many courtiers very dissatisfied.
Because Cao Shu is still a baby in swaddling clothes, it is already a bit good to build a temple in Luoyang and be buried in Nanling.
But this is a royal matter, so I don't want to say much.
But it is too deceitful to raise the plain clothes and cry day and night.
Chen Qun, the only auxiliary minister who stayed in Luoyang, couldn't help but admonish:
"Died at the age of eight, the ceremony is not prepared, and the situation is not due for a month? And to give it as an adult gift, plus as a uniform, but from the past to see the mausoleum, in person, to the ancestors, since ancient times, there is no such comparison. ”
Shaofu Yang Fu also persuaded: "Emperor Wen and Empress Wuxuan collapsed, and Your Majesty will not be buried, so the heavy society is not prepared; How can a child be buried with a child! ”
Remind Cao Rong, you didn't even go to the funeral when your adult and grandmother died, and now that a baby is dead, you have to lead the court to the funeral, have you thought about the consequences?
It's a pity that Cao Rong can't listen to it.
Not only could he not listen to it, but he felt that there was something bad in the Luoyang Palace, and he was fortunate to be Xuchang.
After Cao Shu's funeral, in April, Cao Rong led the second palace and came to Xuchang mightily.
Unexpectedly, in May, the prince Cao Yin died again.
Cao Rong has a total of three sons, namely Cao Yin, Cao Mu, and Cao Yin.
Cao Jian died in the fourth year of Jianxing, that is, the year when Cao Ei first ascended the throne.
Cao Mu died in the seventh year of Jianxing, that is, the year when Sun Quan was proclaimed emperor, the Shu-Wu Alliance, and the world was sued.
In the tenth year of Jianxing, the last prince Cao Yin finally failed to save his life.
So far, in Cao Ei's harem, there is no more prince born to him.
It stands to reason that in this era, early death is actually a very normal thing.
And Cao Rong has not yet reached the age of establishment, when he is young and strong, it is very easy to regenerate a prince.
After all, Uncle Liu Huang could still give birth to Adou when he was forty-six years old!
But the strange thing is that there is indeed an additional prince in the palace soon, but it is not Cao Rong's biological son, but an adopted son.
In other words, Cao Rong seems to be pessimistic about whether he can give birth to a son in the future.
In the first half of the entire tenth year of Jianxing, Cao Wei's palace was shrouded in sadness.
It's just that the joys and sorrows of human beings are not the same.
Just as Cao Rong was grieving, Feng Tingshi, who was far away in Liangzhou, was in a state of tension and joy.
In July, the mother of the Feng family was ready to give birth again.
