"Wine?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted.

Yes, although it is reasonable to drink alcohol on the day of the township, but the new dynasty follows the example of Zhou Zheng, and it is illegal to drink in groups, the first clan is narrow-minded, could it be that he deliberately brought the county officials to find fault?

Everyone hurriedly went back to their respective homes with wine, and the scene was a little chaotic, and some people even fell to the ground.

Fifth Lun calmed down, he first picked up a bowl of hot bean soup and dried it in one go. He broke a wooden branch and grabbed the salt to rinse his mouth, and sniffed it in his hand, and the smell of wine was almost gone.

He said to the fifth: "Father, leave this to you, try to put away the wine, and let the people disperse and go home." I went to greet the townsmen and county officials, and tried to delay for a while. ”

After Wu Lun finished speaking, he led people towards the inner gate, and asked the inner prison door: "The county official can report his name, what kind of official is it?" ”

The prison said: "He claims to be a county scholar, but his name is not said, and the villain does not dare to ask." ”

Literary Peng is the 300 Shi Cao Peng who is in charge of education and etiquette in the county, which is equivalent to the director of the Municipal Education Bureau, which is a big leader for a small village like Wuli.

But even if the first clan is jealous of the fifth clan for setting up another ancestral hall and wants to accuse his family of crimes such as group drinking, it will not be the turn of a literary scholar to search for it.

Thinking of the duties of this official, Wu Lun thought of a possibility.

"Could it be that the Secretary for Education personally came forward to persuade me...... Don't drop out of school? ”

……

Sun Qing, the character of Jingdan, is a native of Shiting County, Shiwei County (Liyang County), and he is no stranger to the Fifth Clan, a group of immigrants living in Liju.

Because the Jing family was originally one of the three nobles of Zhao Jingqu of the Chu State, it was known as the "Three Households of Chu" during the Warring States Period, and the trees had deep roots in the land of Jing Chu. His ancestor Jing Ju even called the King of Chu, but unfortunately he was killed by the Xiang family.

After the Han Dynasty merged with the world, in order to enrich Guanzhong, Liu Bang migrated to Qi and the Chu clan moved westward, and the Jing clan was placed on both sides of the Jing River at that time, and the first to the eighth were considered difficult friends.

However, after the Jing family was a Chu person, it was easier to break into the circle of the early Han monarchs and ministers who were good Chu Feng, and compared to the downfall of the Zhudi, the Jing family mixed well. After the establishment of Xinmang, it ushered in an opportunity to take off, and a clansman named Jingshang became the "Taishi Xizhong" of the new dynasty, that is, one of the four assistants, the deputy of the Taishi, with a high position.

Jing's revival again, but it has nothing to do with Jing Dan, just because he was born in a small sect, he can only rely on his own struggle, and take the road of studying and entering. Jing Dan was selected as a student when he was young, but unfortunately he couldn't shoot in Chang'an for several years. In the end, he did not choose to return to his hometown, but came to Liewei County, was recruited as the county literary peng, and became a close confidant of the county magistrate.

Now that I've come to the Fifth Mile, it's so familiar to see the gathering pattern here. And when the door was called, a young man who was not tall and wearing vermilion clothes came, polite, smiling, and bowing to Jing Dan decently.

"It is a great honor for the county officials and the townsmen to come to the county! The fifth Lun in the next life, I have seen two! ”

Although you have to delay time, you can't stop people from entering the door, that's too rude.

After listening to the persuasion of the fourth Xian at noon, the first Liu did have a reflection, and when he saw that the county government sent someone to the fifth mile, he was even more shocked.

But now that he saw his own Fifth Lun a few days ago, he was angry, and he couldn't hold back for a while, and said in a weird way: "Fifth Lun, isn't your family a fine willow camp?" Why did the county officials come in person and call the door for a long time before they were willing to come out? ”

Fifth Lun glanced at the first willow, and only smiled: "It's just because today's Autumn Society, the middle of the house is busy gathering to worship the gods, and it is too noisy, and even the inner prison door is going to join in the fun, so the report is late, and I hope that the officials will atone for their sins...... But country, isn't your house a social day today? I had to come to the fifth mile empty. ”

"Autumn Society Day is set for today?"

Jing Dan was stunned, he didn't hear the first Liu mention it on the road, so he reacted that the other party was a Qi immigrant, and the festival date was not the same as the Yongzhou natives, which was normal. As a descendant of the Chu people, the Jing family still retains the custom of celebrating the New Year of the Chu calendar.

He knew very well what he was coming for today, so he stopped the first willow who still wanted to find fault, and said with a smile: "No wonder, if I had known in advance, I wouldn't have come to disturb the people's autumn society." Wu Nai County Literature Peng Jingdan, the word Sun Qing, the fifth Lun, your word is 'Boyu'? Fruit is a young talent. ”

Jingdan? Of course, Wu Lun didn't know him, and like most modern people with limited knowledge of history, he only remembered Wang Mang, Liu Xiu, and even where Liu Xiu's family was.

By the way, I have also heard of the "Twenty-eight Generals of Yuntai", but I don't know which twenty-eight are in it, I just think it is the same organization as the "Yanyun Eighteen Horsemen".

Naturally, he didn't know that among the 28 generals of Yuntai in history, Jing Dan was among them, ranking tenth.

But this did not prevent Wu Lun and Jing Dan from meeting each other for the first time, and they had a very good impression of this county official.

Jing Dan is in his thirties, although his appearance is not outstanding, he is quite official, and he speaks well, and he does not put on the shelf of an official, which makes people feel bad.

He was not in a hurry to show his intentions, and after being welcomed into the fifth mile, he only called the fifth Lun to walk aside.

When talking to Fifth Lun, because of the proximity, Jing Dan seemed to smell something, and suddenly understood.

After thinking for a while, he was not in a hurry to go to the ancestral hall, but only slowed down his pace and looked left and right unhurriedly.

This look really made him discover the unique place of the fifth mile.

"Boyu, the other warehouses are all within the walls of each house, how can the granary of the Ru family be built in the center of the assembly?"

Next to the big well in Lizhong, there was a granary built by Wu Lun a few days ago, and he was trying to delay time, when he saw Jing Dan asking, he immediately explained enthusiastically.

"Literary Peng, this is Benli's righteous cang."

"Yoshikura? What is the meaning of this? ”

Fifth Lun Dao: "The ancients cultivated more than one of three and nine more than three, all of which were heavy savings in case of famine." However, in recent years, there have been many floods and droughts, and the poor are often forced to suffer from famine. And my family, as a lihao, is not rich, but the days can barely pass. ”

So I proposed to my eldest father that I should make up for what I had lost, and take out a hundred stones of grain from my family, and store it in this storehouse for emergencies. If you meet a family whose field has been plagued by insects, you can ask the bulk to find out that the situation is true, and you can get a ten-year ration to help them survive the green and yellow crops, so as not to have the tragedy of starvation and bad people. ”

The first Liu was stupid on the side, there was also an inequality between the rich and the poor, but he never had such an idea, the ancestors and grandchildren of the fifth tyrant were really ambitious, and they were buying people's hearts from the inside out.

But Jing Dan was interested: "The affected people used the grain from the Yicang, is it a loan?" Do you have to pay interest?"

The reason for this question is that the "five equals" policy implemented by Emperor Wang Mang is quite similar to the Yicang of the Fifth Lun: in Chang'an and several other large cities, Qian Fucheng was set up to provide loans to the people.

Short-term small amounts are called credit, and no interest is charged, which makes people feel the urgent need to relieve joy and sorrow. Long-term loans, with a long term, to help the city's industrial and commercial businesses, according to the borrower's net profit to charge one-tenth of the annual interest...... It sounds good, but it's said to have been spoiled by the people below.

Fifth Lun also heard about this policy from the fourth Xian, and felt that it was evil at that time, if Wang Mang named this institution the National Bank again, Fifth Lun almost thought that he was really a traverser!

However, the five loans are only in the big cities, and have nothing to do with the counties and townships.

Wu Lun explained to Jing Dan: "There is no interest, this is a big move to help the clan. Moreover, with my family taking the lead, several wealthy households in Lizhong, such as the chief and the elder of Li, are also willing to give five stones of grain each and deposit them in the righteous warehouse. This is done for a year, and then when there is a good year of grain and low grain, the people can also send surplus grain, corn and wheat for a stone, the difference between the rich and the poor, etc. If you are in a hurry to use food for a family with joy or mourning, you can get twice as much food, and you can pay it back within a year, without having to go outside to take out a loan with usury. ”

This Yicang is also the standard configuration of the southern clan system in later generations, it should be regarded as a clan fund, and the fifth Lun has agreed with the fifth tyrant to divide five hectares of land for Yitian, rent it to the poor clansmen, and pay the rent to Yicang, plus "persuade" the rich and the people to donate voluntarily, so that the Yicang is not empty.

As long as there is no one to guard and steal, as long as the credibility of the bulk is guaranteed, it should not collapse, and with it as a financial guarantee, then things such as Xingyi learning, training righteous soldiers, and strengthening the wall can be done.

But there is a big shortage of food for his family, so he has to think of a way to collect grain quickly.

"Who is in charge of this righteous warehouse?" Jing Dan became more and more interested.

"I'll take care of it now." Fifth Lun patted the key on his waist.

Jing Dan bowed his head, there was a sense of appreciation in his eyes, but he didn't comment too much, and continued to walk forward, and stopped again after a while.

They had come to the middle of the depression, which was a manure pit, and now there was a toilet on the edge of the pit, one on the left and one on the right.

But unlike the usual toilets, there are words written on the walls and pictures drawn.

Jing Dan covered his nose and walked over, but saw that on the wall of the toilet, the left was a "man", and two circles were drawn and a straight line was drawn. The "female" on the right is two dots in the two circles, and everyone who understands understands it.

Almost all of them are illiterate, and it is too difficult for them to read and write, and it is not easy to memorize left and right, but with this concise and slightly indecent picture, no one will go wrong.

This is also the fifth Lun for people to cultivate, without him, just because the convenience of the people is too open and wild. Many people don't have toilets at home, so men run to the dung pit to solve the problem, urinate directly under their clothes, and even squat for a long time despite the eyes of passers-by, and chat about borrowing toilets.

Every time Wu Lun passed by and saw this scene, he would frown, and he was used to the health and civilization of later generations, and he could no longer accept this situation.

And those poor women were embarrassed to do this, so they went to the fields and grass together, and walked far away to suffocate not to mention, if they were accidentally bumped into or peeping at scoundrels, it would be embarrassing.

Fifth Lun wasn't for composting or anything, I just thought it was ......

This is China, not India, how can it be!

So the fifth Lun had these two rooms repaired, and the two toilets for men and women were walled, and the men's toilets had three squatting pits, and the women had five.

In his opinion, this was an ordinary trivial matter, but Jing Dan showed a strange expression, sent the first Liu aside, and only invited the fifth Lun, his expression was serious, and his voice was lowered: "Fifth Lun, let me ask you, how do you know about the imperial edict that has not yet been implemented?" ”

What edict? Fifth Lun looked confused.

Jing Dan said: "Recently, someone came back from Chang'an and told you what secrets of the DPRK and China? ”

Wu Lun denied: "Some time ago, there were relatives who were businessmen who came to visit, but how dare we discuss the government in vain? ”

Seeing that Wu Lun made this look, it didn't seem to be fake, Jing Dan was even more surprised, in fact, this matter will be known to the world in three or two days, and it doesn't hurt to say it.

After thinking about it, he said: "Your Majesty just sent an edict yesterday, saying that Confucius was the first to be the ruler of the central capital, and the system was the festival of health preservation and death. One of these is the separation of men and women! ”

"But it's not just that men and women should be separated on the road, Your Majesty went out to patrol and saw that the Chang'an road toilets were mixed with men and women, and it was easy to cause adultery and immorality, so he issued an edict to change the toilets in Chang'an and the county towns of the world to be changed to separate men and women! There should be a partition wall in the toilet. ”

Peng Jingdan, a literary man who is in charge of education and is a close confidant of the county Yin, naturally knows about this, but Wang Mang did not ask for writing and drawing on the toilet wall.

Emperor Wang Mang's sage intentions coincide with what Fifth Lun did in the middle?

Jing Dan still didn't believe it, and asked him for the last time: "Fifth Lun, you tell the truth, where did you get the news?" Just say it, I will never leak it, let alone pursue it. ”

"Literary Peng, I really don't know, the men's and women's toilets in the fifth mile were repaired ten days ago, and the people in the room can testify, I think at that time, the edict had not yet been issued......

Wu Lun explained, but his heart was full of groans.

"Coincidentally, Wang Mang can't be a traverser senior, this must be a coincidence!"

On the other side, seeing Jing Dan pulling Wu Lun to speak alone, First Liu was pacing beside him a little bored, and suddenly saw a puddle of watermarks and pottery fragments on the ground, as if someone was walking in a hurry and accidentally fell and didn't clean it up.

He walked over and sniffed, his eyes widened, and he reached out and tasted it, and suddenly made a big discovery.

Just like catching the heinous sin of the Fifth Clan, First Liu completely forgot the Fourth Xian's admonition, walked over violently, and questioned Fifth Lun in front of Jing Dan.

"Fifth son, I smell a smell of alcohol, and there are traces of alcohol on the ground, didn't your family openly violate the ban and bring the people to gather to drink?"

At this moment, there was a laugh in the distance, but it was the fifth tyrant who came over with his clansmen: "Countryman, you are mistaken, we are not eating wine." ”

"It's 醴 (lǐ)!"

PS: The "green glazed pottery toilet" unearthed in Hanzhong City during the Wang Mang period is the earliest archaeological proof of the separation of male and female toilets in China.
