Chapter 413: Tools

In Xiangguan, Tian Xin gathered grain here and waited for Liao Li to come and take over the logistics.

Just wait for the autumn harvest to launch an expedition to Guangzhou.

During this period, Tian Xin always kept an eye on the Jiangxia region, and more and more information gathered to him.

It doesn't matter whether Ding Feng is against him or not.

There is a more important figure than Ding Feng who is approaching Guan Ping and seeking to be right.

This person is called He Qi, a famous general who will win every battle against Baiyue, in the eyes of Baiyue and Wuxi barbarian tribes, He Qi can be called a legend, like a demon king.

If He Qi is anyway, there is no need to fight the Battle of Jiangxia again, and the more troops that the Wu army reinforces arrives, the greater the possibility of a total collapse.

However, He Qi made a request, he wanted to marry his daughter to Guan Xing, and he also wanted to meet Guan Ping in Xiakou and talk in person.

I don't know how Guan Ping replied to this matter, and this matter suddenly came to an end, as if it hadn't happened.

At the same time, the reason why Peng Yi, the sect marshal of Poyang County, raised troops was also investigated, not only to take the opportunity to get a vote so that he could enter the Han camp; Another reason is that I still want to get a vote and get the funeral goods of the mausoleum of the Marquis of Haidui and the deposed emperor Liu He.

In order to collect gold and silver to buy cattle and horses from Wei, all parties in Jiangdong are frantically organizing people to dig tombs.

LĂź Dai was looking for the tomb of Zhao Tuo, the martial king of Nanyue, in Guangzhou, but Zhao Tuo had already taken precautions in the troubled times, and LĂź Dai never made progress; The mausoleum of the abolished emperor Liu He is well preserved, and it is repaired and maintained by the local government, and belongs to the large tomb with a clear address.

After digging Liu He's mausoleum, there is no 1,000 gold, but there can be 500 gold...... You are Sun Quan, do you want to do it?

None of this has anything to do with him, Tian Xin is just a bystander, and in his spare time, he is devoted to making food, or taking two fat tigers to meet the heads of various departments who come here to see him.

July 15th, Midyear Day.

Many officials and people in Xiangguan tied up simple reed rafts and threw them into the Xiangjiang River and let them drift down, which was naturally to commemorate the Eastern Crusade of the year before last.

At that time, the battlefield in the south of the Yangtze River was dangerous, and he had to cross the river on a reed raft to escape.

The plague Shinto gradually spread to Jingxiang from the rise of the south of the Yangtze River, and there was an agreement to release reed rafts on July 15.

Perhaps some people are remembering their relatives and friends who drowned, and some people are purely to curse Wu Jun and tie the reeds into the shape of straw men.

Because Tian Xin is in Xiangguan, there are about 30,000 soldiers and civilians gathered here tonight, many people dance barefoot around the bonfire, and beat the bamboo tube to form a distinct beat, among which the elders wear vicious masks to ward off evil spirits and jump around the bonfire, ignorant and curious children run together in the fires everywhere, watching all kinds of bustle.

Tian Xin used a large iron pot to stir-fry finely crushed river sand, and the shelled rice burst one after another under the high temperature of the river sand, and fried into white rice flowers.

Shamoko came from a distance, wearing a pair of boxers around his waist and a cow skull mask, his muscles bulging from the exertion, and the lines of white, red, and blue paint on his body were wet with sweat.

The stout Shamoke also slowed down as he approached Tian Xin, and listened to Tian Xin and Pang Hongzheng discuss the changes in the relationship between tools and the times.

There is one point that does not need to be stated by Tian Xin, Han Feizi's "Five Worm Sayings" has already explained the generation difference of the times very clearly, and there is no need to repeat it.

The ancient sage king, who was actually a tribal chieftain, hunted by men, gathered by women, and shared by communism, so the people had nothing to fight for, so they were united and noble.

The times are developing, and the sages and kings who master new technologies will definitely laugh at the backward tribes; Ancient sages such as the Suiren clan, the Youchao clan, and the Shennong clan appeared in any era of Yu Xia, Yin Shang, and Ji Zhou, and they would be laughed at by the new kings of the current world.

Just as they will laugh when they see the barbarian tribes who have just mastered hunting and fire, they will not only laugh, but also have the idea of capturing each other as slaves.

In the same way, the sages of Yu Xia, Yin Shang, and Ji Zhou will also be laughed at by contemporary kings when they appear in contemporary times.

In "The Theory of the Five Worms", the production relations of various eras were analyzed, and a conclusion was drawn: today's county orders can be enjoyed more than those of the ancient sage kings.

There is also a little bit of 'productivity' related to it, but it is not explained in depth.

Han Feizi's exposition of productive forces tends to control the distribution of production materials.

Under the ploughing system, whoever can promote the improvement of productivity will have merit and can obtain a higher share of production resources. Whether it is the reform of technology or the expansion of land, it is beneficial to the productive forces, that is, the growth of national strength.

All of this, within the framework of Han Feizi's design, will serve the king.

Now that Shamoke was near, he listened to Tian Xin talk about the importance of tools, as long as the naturalized Han family had an axe, a ploughing ox, and an iron plough...... Naturally, trees are cut down, cultivated land is cleared, and terraces are created on plains or hills.

With the promotion of looms, if you are a Han family, do you want to take the risk of hunting and wearing fur, or wearing comfortable linen clothes and silk clothes?

Needless to say, if there are other ways to get food and clothing, who wants to risk competing with wild beasts, poisonous insects, and enemies?

Thanks to the chaos in the world, too many people have taken refuge in the mountains, preferring to be neighbors with barbarians, tigers and leopards rather than returning to mature farming areas. Among them were also people who had been plundered by barbarian tribes.

These people who fell into the barbarians gradually merged with the barbarians, increasing the speed of the barbarians' civilization.

It's just that limited by the manufacture of tools, the productivity of the barbarians cannot support the people who eat idle food, and everyone will run around and fight for food, clothing, and ...... People who understand technology are often eliminated and unable to accumulate and innovate technology.

The barbarian tribes are always in a cycle of rapid civilization and barbarism, and when more and more agricultural strongholds appear around their lives, and the tools and technologies are disseminated to them to achieve qualitative changes, the barbarians can be civilized.

After civilization, relying on agricultural production can support craftsmen and maintain the ability to make tools, innovate and improve.

If you want to maintain the speed of barbarian civilization in Jiaoguang Erzhou, Maicheng looms and Danyang tools are indispensable.

"Comfortable and clean clothing can increase the life expectancy of the population in all parts of the country, and it is not easy to die of disease. Each family can also weave coarse linen cloth as a tribute tax, how is it different from the Han people? ”

"There are many good trees in the Xiangjiang River Basin, so if you cut them down and dry them, they will be transported to Maicheng in exchange for looms, which is a good move."

"Ordinary willow can also burn charcoal, and Danyang trading tools. I don't seek profit, I only hope that the looms made in Maicheng can be useful from time to time, and the tools made in Danyang can benefit the Han people and the local people. ”

Tian Xin noticed that Shamoke was back, and Lin Luozhu, who was listening to him next to him, picked up a basket of rice flowers and handed it to Shamoke, Shamoke sat down and put the ox skull mask aside: "The power of the gods is incomparable, and there is no one in the various departments who dares to have two hearts. ”

Shamoke is called the Barbarian King, and in fact he is also a strong man in the border area, but it is not recognized by the mainstream Jingzhou scholar group.

Many families have been trading with the barbarians for generations, and after a long period of trade, some of their children have migrated to live in the barbarian tribes, and gradually merge with each other, and these people who have knowledge are more likely to balance and mediate tribal conflicts, and are elected as leaders.

There is also the barbarian king Mei Fu who died in battle, the Mei family has a long heritage, and some are grandiose warriors and heroes; Some are barbarian leaders.

Although Mei Shi died in battle, he can influence the Mei family, and if Jing Man absconds from the plains next time and returns to the valley to re-elect the barbarian king, there is a high probability that another Mei family will be elected as the barbarian king.

And this kind of half-Han, half-Yi or half-Hu people are naturally close to Tian Xin's style of acting.

Tian Xin is polite, but he does not strictly abide by the rules of etiquette; This is a typical phenomenon of Huhua, which deviates from the traditional ...... In the face of condemnation, Tian Xin did not feel guilty, but felt that this group of people was old and had nothing to deal with.

The deviant Tian Xin can naturally accept the naked dance of Shamoke and others; It can also calmly correct the daily life of the barbarians that is not conducive to a healthy lifestyle.

When the barbarian leader with cultural disadvantage and inferiority met Tian Xin, he naturally hated to see each other late.
