1.30 A book in hand
Craftsmen are known as 100 craftsmen. But whatever they can think of, they can make it in the same way. Even if there are some difficulties, we can find a way to solve them in practice.
A keel waterwheel (keel waterwheel) connecting the stream to the canal is being laid. It's a big job, too.
Referring to the price of an ox cart, Liu Xiaopang gave a price of 3,000 yuan.
Three thousand five-baht coins, what is the concept. Let's take a look at prices.
A pound of beef is only twenty dollars.
A light meal is about 30 yuan.
The clansmen who were temporarily hired to take care of the rice fields paid more than 100 yuan a month.
Twenty good horseshoe gold cakes, the horse market can be exchanged for 300,000 dollars!
For a period of time, Liu Bei's mother and son did not have to worry about food and clothing.
As for whether it is enough or not, it depends on how to use it. Life is worry-free, rebellion is not enough.
If you have a land, you are not a pariah. After naturalizing Lousang Village, there were more than 100 households. The old patriarch will soon be promoted from 'Father' to 'Likui'. Speaking in the township also carries more weight.
These craftsmen have brought many gratifying changes to the village. The ancestral house was repaired, the official road was repaired, and the ancestral hall in the village was also renewed.
The ancestral hall is also called the ancestral room. In ancient times, it was called Jongmyo Temple.
"The Book of Rites: The Royal System" contains: "Seven temples of the Son of Heaven, five temples of the princes, three temples of the doctor, one temple of the scholars, and the sacrifice of the people in the bed."
With the change of the times, the ritual music collapsed. The etiquette of antiquity is no longer applicable. However, even at this time, the ancestral hall could not be built unless it was a dignitary.
After Liu Bei's royal family, his ancestors were marquis. Even if the family is in the middle of the road, there are still mounds of the 'Lucheng Hou'.
It is different from those celebrity mounds that are built by the people. The ancestral hall of the Marquis of Lu Cheng was built by the Liu family of Lousang Village with their own funds.
Ancestral halls, also known as mound shrines, temple shrines, canteens, temple shrines, shrines, etc., generally have two kinds of civil structures and pure stone structures.
Due to various reasons, the ancestral hall of the civil structure is now gone. Fortunately, in the excavation of the family cemetery of Emperor Xuan's important minister, Zhang Anshi, the marquis of Sima Fuping, a family cemetery, found an ancestral hall that can almost be restored. The ancestral hall site is 19 meters long and wide, and the doorway of the base site is to the east, with three rooms wide and five rooms deep. The south, north and east sides are cobblestone scattered water, the inner side is a brick-paved corridor, and the inner side is the foundation stone. The building relics of the ancestral hall, such as the pedestal, the pillar base, the doorway, the cloister, the step, and the scattered water, are very well preserved, and the building materials such as square bricks, strip bricks, hollow bricks, tube tiles, slab tiles, and tiles have also been excavated......
It shows the grandeur of the ancestral hall.
In comparison, Liu Bei's Lucheng Hou Temple is not so magnanimous.
Is there the Lucheng Hou Temple first, or the Lousang Village first. The old patriarch was also vague. Whether he didn't know, or didn't want to say, Liu Bei didn't dig deeper.
It is enough to know that you are a relic of the royal family.
Perhaps living around the shrine also has this deep meaning. Remind the clansmen from time to time and never forget the great cause of restoration.
King Jing of Zhongshan has as many as 100 sons, and the fifth son is the Marquis of Lucheng Pavilion. When Emperor Wu was in power, there were 16 people who lost their marquis. Zhang Wang, Li Zhao, all over Liu. I don't know if other families are like the Liu family in Zhuo County?
In other words, Liu Bei can achieve Liu Bei in the future. I don't know if it's related to the family's ambitions?
Otherwise, the Yellow Turban is in turmoil, and the Han clan relatives are everywhere, why is he the only one who gathers 300 troops to fight against thieves?
These details are all things that Liu Xiaopang has thought of recently.
Recently, he was reading the "Four Peoples Moon Order" by his predecessor Shangshu Cui Wei. Cui Shangshu is a native of Anping, Zhuo County, and is now idle at home because of the party's disaster.
The book details the agricultural activities of the noble grange throughout the year. The planting season and planting methods of cereals, melons and vegetables are described in detail; There are also separate chapters on handicrafts such as livestock, textiles, weaving and dyeing, brewing, and pharmaceuticals; There are also manor buildings and manpower arrangements such as schools, clans, relatives, guests, and tribes.
Production, management, education, defense, internal affairs, foreign affairs......
It can be called the encyclopedia of the lord of the manor.
In short, a book in hand, the manor I have.
Liu Xiaopang was inspired.
Although this book is an agricultural classic, the more Liu Bei reads it, the more he feels that it has a deep meaning. After reading the whole book, even a young man like Liu Bei, who doesn't know anything about the manor, has the confidence to gather in the fort and defend himself! Completely self-sufficient.
Could it be that Cui Shangshu has already seen that the world will be chaotic?
That's why I wrote books and taught people to defend themselves according to danger!
The book was sent by Geng Yong of Lao Yadu. The two got married because of the toilet, and they exchanged letters on weekdays. Friends. Liu Bei thought about it, and then wrote another letter.
Cui Shangshu, who inquired about An Pingguo, was one of them. Second, I also want to ask Geng Yongqing about the waterway.
If it is determined that the waterway is accessible, the significance of building the Qingxi ferry port is extraordinary.
The materials and manpower in the village can be entered and exited by waterway. Time-saving, labor-saving, convenient and fast. The ferry port of this era, with the convergence of people and the accessibility of materials, is simply a big bazaar. is different from the village community, this ferry and wild market, welcoming guests from all over the world, did not say that the market was closed.
Although the Qingxikou waterway is single, it is estimated that it is difficult to achieve the wild market. But as long as it is convenient for the township, this money is not spent in vain.
If Lousang Village has a special product similar to the Geng's pottery of Lao Yadu, then it is another matter.
What is a specialty?
It is a special thing that I have everywhere and nowhere else, a must-have and indispensable for home life.
What are the specialties of Lousang Village?
Well, there's me Liu Bei.
The last Han brick was laid, and the canal was completed. The keel overturned leads water into the canal, and the slope above the valley can open up dozens of acres of fertile land.
The patriarch will not deceive me.
Newly opened up fertile land, it is too late to plant rice.
After the autumn equinox, it is still possible to plant a season of winter wheat with the clansmen.
As mentioned earlier.
During the Han Dynasty, in addition to millet, millet and other varieties, rice and wheat were widely planted and became the staple food. Winter wheat is mainly produced in the north, and rice is generally grown in the south. It is said that at this time there was already double cropping rice. The Hanshui basin also saw the emergence of a rice-wheat rotation planting method, with two crops a year.
This is all contained in the "Four Peoples Moon Order", and Liu Xiaopang has never seen it in person.
Judging from Liu Xiaopang's experience, Northland cannot be cooked twice. One is the breed issue, and the other is the seasonal factor. The winter wheat cycle is surprisingly long. And the temperature in the Han Dynasty was also much lower than in later generations. The spring is short and the winter is long. There are also records of "the winter of the sixth year of Guanghe, the great cold, and the ice thickness in Beihai, Donglai, and Langxijing is more than a foot".
The Northland is ripe once a year, so it can only be so.
What do you spend so much time for?
Sacrifice.
Liu Bei really felt that this matter was too expensive.
This is the case with other settlements, not to mention the Liu family in Zhuo County?
The convenience of living around the shrine makes almost every sacrifice extremely grand. As the star of hope for the entire ethnic group, Liu Xiaopang has not been in the limelight. Of course, it was torture for him.
In the words of the old patriarch: the dead enjoy, and the living suffer.
This is the clan. This is, the Han clan relatives.
Five days after the letter was sent, a flat boat went down the river, out of the wild forest, around the mouth of the stream, and anchored steadily at the head of the village.
In addition to the boatman on the boat, there is only Geng Yong in a green shirt.
"Where is Liu Bei's house?"
"There is a mulberry place on the east fence of the village, that is." Zongren smiled and pointed the way.
"Thank you." Carrying a bulging burden with a little difficulty, Geng Yong jumped off the bow of the boat, turned around and said, "Boatman, you go back first." Come and pick me up tomorrow at this time. ”
"Okay." The old ship Weng Mali's brace offshore.
"Liu Bei—Liu Bei—" The knocker knocked.
Single person single bag, obviously a private visit. Those complicated etiquette are not necessary. Without waiting for Liu Bei to open the middle door, Geng Yong squeezed in sideways.
"Liu Bei, do you know where I came from?"
