112 The fluttering moth in the tide of the times
Entering June, the prevention of sea tides and typhoons has become a daily routine, although the north and south of Canglong Road will generally start to carry out prevention work around January, but the real challenge is often May, June and July these three months.
Shutdowns will become the norm, and there will be a large number of closed laborers and laborers near the wharf, more than half of which are temporary and part-time workers, so the impact is not great.
Unlike the central core area of the Emperor Tang Celestial Dynasty, temporary workers near Canglong Road often have their own businesses.
I went to the dock to work part-time and as a temporary worker, just to increase my income and supplement my family.
The reason for this is that the population of this region, under the natural evolution of two or three hundred years, has been the same as the central core area of the Tang Dynasty and the Heavenly Dynasty.
For two hundred years, the first thing that the adventurers of the sea did after landing was to distribute their wealth; The second thing is the distribution of land.
It's just that under the "Great Push Order" of Emperor Zhenguan, it is not a super family, and it is difficult to achieve an orderly and stable inheritance of wealth through land annexation and accumulation.
The big farmers were divided into several shareholders on the books of the Emperor and Tang Dynasty, and everyone was just a partnership in the rubber, candied fruit, kapok, spices, seasonings, and pigments needed by the central government of the Celestial Empire......
But all super families, in order to bypass the "big push order", they have tried their best, after all, Emperor Zhenguan more than two hundred years ago had an idea, and it was also more than two hundred years ago, those mad dogs in Wuhan had the ability to make people gnash their teeth.
The two sides hit it off, and whatever cultivation and heirloom can only be turned into decent words for decent people on decent occasions.
Wang Jiao's most feeling in Killing Longgang is that the surname can be seen everywhere, and when he shouts "Lao Li" on the street, there may be more than a dozen old people looking back.
Here, there may be more than a dozen shareholders of a manor in a mountainous area of the province, and at the same time, the manor will be cut into different parts, one part of which is the "community land" owned by the shareholders, and the other part is the "private land" owned by the employees.
Shetian, because the owner of the manor himself, may be the president of a certain society, and the shareholder is the backbone of a certain society, and the traditional family chose this form in order to seek an orderly inheritance of wealth and avoid being strangled by Luoyang and Wuhan.
It's just that the first generation of adventurers may still have the idea of having a heart for the family, but in the second and third generations, this possibility is directly zero.
At the same time, relying on the unprecedented strength of the Tang Dynasty, the second generation of adventurers, in order to survive in the frontier region, often had a large number of wives and concubines to ensure that their wealth could be passed on.
Two hundred years ago, the medical and health conditions were far from being compared with the current Killing Dragon Port, when the Tang Dynasty except for the ten important states and counties in the world, the premature mortality rate in the rest of the regions was still high, and the population skyrocketed curve, which was after the development of the ten water conservancy projects in the world.
Nowadays, in the mountainous areas of Beicang Province, the "Ling rice" planted is a kind of upland rice, but in the tropics, it has unexpectedly increased the yield of about 50 catties per mu, and under the rotation fallow and rotation tillage system, the yield per mu can also be guaranteed to be about 120 catties.
The grain output of the entire Beicang Province is not as good as that of the other major provinces in the South China Sea, but it is more than enough for emergencies at critical times.
A large-scale farm does not only grow high value-added cash crops, because according to the regulations more than 200 years ago, "grain endowment" is a necessary obligation of a large estate, and only the super-wealthy who collude with the inside and outside to cover the sky can make the estate a pure cash crop, and only produce primary products such as beverages, spices, and spices.
It's just that this kind of difficulty is extremely high, because even now, the strength of a single family can't compete with even the three major ship groups two hundred and fifty years ago.
The ships are strong and the guns are sharp, this is the confidence of the central government of the Emperor Tang Dynasty, and when the cabinet decides on a small war, it can mobilize more than 200 warships of various types.
A very ordinary order is to destroy the country and exterminate the species somewhere.
Because of this, the vast majority of local wealthy families can only unite and infiltrate as much as possible, so as to re-accumulate wealth in a roundabout way.
Another important ingredient in the manor, the "private land", was formed in this way.
The third generation of adventurers wanted to continue to collect indigenous slaves in the area, and the quality was basically invisible, and after the rise of the huge slave trade, coupled with the reproduction of three generations of adventurers, the decentralization of the same culture and the same species was very obvious.
Taking the "Canton Fair" as an example, in the South China Sea over the past 250 years, in the South China Sea region, the wealthy families dominated by Li, Feng, Du, and Xian, and those small families attached to the four major families, have spread out ancestral halls, family temples, ancestral temples, and ancestral halls, large and small, all over the entire South China Sea, and the number is calculated in the hundreds of thousands, and these are only the preliminary statistics of the register.
These people, the first generation are vassals, the second generation is helpers, and in the third generation, because of the expansion of their descendants, they have become ordinary ordinary people, and even serfs.
It's just that this "serf" is not a slave in the real sense, and they are not the same thing as the serf that Wang Jiao knew before he crossed over.
They are more attached to the manor or community, not the "slaves" of one person and one family, but the "slaves" of more than a dozen families and hundreds of people.
At the same time, they still have a certain status in this manor or community, because the laws of the Emperor Tang and the Celestial Dynasty have long stipulated the conditions for slavery.
In order to achieve the actual purpose of "accumulating slaves", but also to bypass the provisions of "enslavement", "private land" is an important supplement, it allows the bottom members of the manor to have a certain amount of land, ranging from a few acres to a dozen acres, as long as the manor economy does not collapse, the central core area of the Tang Dynasty, and the market needs their crop output, then, theoretically, it can be passed on from generation to generation.
The manor or community only needs to pay a little salary, and then mainly in the form of "private land" to pay the labor income of the "serfs", and the maintenance of the entire manor and the survival of the wealth of the local wealthy are guaranteed.
It's just that time flies, and with the increasing prosperity of trade, it is obviously impossible for all "serfs" to be satisfied with the output of so many acres of land or more than a dozen acres of land, after all, they will also marry wives and have children, and even some of them with an adventurous spirit may want to change their faces.
At this time, the situation of "working during agricultural hours and working in leisure time" appeared.
Coincidentally, because of the particularity of cash crops, they are often the period of high typhoons, which happens to be the first harvest season of the three crops.
So this often happens, when the typhoon begins to wreak havoc along the coast, those piers used to be endless, like worker ants, worker bees of workers, as if all blown away by the typhoon, directly disappeared a third, or even more.
This kind of treacherous social phenomenon, for Wang Jiao, a traverser, in addition to lamenting that the predecessor of the traverser is a dog, the rest is just an incarnation of a fluttering moth, and he honestly survives in this strange wave of the times......
