Chapter 297: The Future of Lingnan
It's a three-generation family!
In this day and age, this kind of family pattern is relatively rare. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoBecause even in families that lack men, this era is generally four or five generations in the same household.
Although Lingnan is located in a remote area, since the establishment of the Liu dynasty for decades, because there has been no major war, the people have cultivated themselves and developed rapidly.
Of course, Liu Jixing is naturally the most vocal in this point, from the Central Plains and even Chudi, how many people have come to Lingnan, for the local state capital, there are still great achievements. However, during Liu Sheng's reign, most of these people moved in within Lianzhou. Because of the natural danger of Wuling, it is difficult for many ordinary people to overcome. Not to mention the strict control of Chudi, but the beasts in the jungle also make it extremely difficult for these people to penetrate deep into the hinterland of Lingnan.
However, since Liu Jixing ascended the throne, because he deliberately sent personnel to recruit displaced people and disaster victims from all over the country, and also opened the door to convenience, after entering Lingnan, he was escorted by the army, and these people chose their own sparsely populated accommodation. It was then divided by the local county government, so that these people could survive. All that Liu Jixing knows about the books exceeds the actual number of 30,000.
As for the 100,000 migratory army that lied to the outside world, although there is a political need, it is for Liu Jixing. These more than 30,000 migrants will be a huge force to be reckoned with in Lingnan in the next five to ten years.
Of course, Liu Jixing also wanted to try out the self-reserved land system in later generations, but was resisted by many classes, and Liu Jixing knew that he could not be in a hurry. Therefore, while sending a large number of talents, we also sent a lot of propaganda talents.
For a regime that is biased towards the most remote areas of the Central Plains, Liu Jixing naturally has his own ideas.
Although the Southern Han Dynasty claimed to be a state, in this era, even the collapsed Chu regime regarded Lingnan as nothing more than a foreign land. But Liu Jixing did not feel the slightest anger, but felt happy. Because it is when others do not pay attention to it, you have enough time to develop. This feeling of being despised is indeed unpleasant, but thinking of the world's amazement of Lingnan in the future, Liu Jixing is a little excited and looking forward to it.
Therefore, Liu Jixing cares about people's livelihood very much and attaches great importance to the survival of ordinary people. After experiencing several iron-blooded massacres, although Liu Jixing was named a cold-blooded and brutal murderous person, Liu Jixing didn't care at all. Because after a strong deterrence, the whole of Lingnan can basically be ordered and banned. And even in some remote places, the state of the people will be clearly counted.
Although this place has not yet developed, because of the existence of huge mineral resources in two countries, as long as the people are willing to work, life should be better than that of ordinary people. Now that Liu Jixing just took a little look, he could feel the situation here, which should belong to a place where he could live relatively peacefully in the near future.
And the one where everyone came in to rest, four thatched huts are not far from this country road. There is a courtyard of about half an acre around the door, and the fence made of soft branches and plants is blooming with unknown small flowers. There were really a few chickens and ducks in the yard, and what was surprising was that there was actually a black-haired pig wandering around the yard.
There are two old people surnamed Wang who are nearly 50 years old in this family, and when they saw the guests coming to the house, they also seemed quite enthusiastic when they heard the young woman and daughter-in-law's story. Looking at them, although they are a little restrained, they are not as ignorant as ordinary villagers, and their words and deeds are polite and polite, it can be seen that this family should not be ordinary farmers.
Although Liu Jixing was a little curious, he didn't deliberately ask questions immediately. Since there was no furniture in the hut, they set up a few pieces of wood in the courtyard as stools. Liu Jixing looked at these two old men and saw that they might look similar to the old men in their sixties and seventies in later generations because of the pressure of life.
Liu Jixing is still very emotional, because these people who have become adults in their teens are indeed much faster than people of their own time. Looking at them less than fifty years old, they already seem to be dying.
The young woman's name is Chen, and it is said that she is the descendant of the Chen family, the largest surname in Linwu. However, it may be because their ancestors are from the Chen family, so by the time they reach their generation, they no longer have the aura of a big family. However, this Chen family can be regarded as polite, and with a good face, Liu Jixing feels a little more cordial.
However, after Ouyang Tong entered the hospital, he targeted a few Linwu ducks in other people's homes. Seeing that the feathers on the duck's neck were really different, and the duck's beak seemed to be sharper, my heart was a little happy. I don't know what method he used, the family actually agreed to take a hemp duck out, but they didn't want everyone's money.
Because this Wang family was also the largest family in Linwu, almost the same origin as the Chen family. The ancestors of the Chen family used to be old with the Wang family, but they also continued some incense family affection. Seeing that the two old men agreed to take a duck, she didn't have any expression on her face, but she called out a teenager in the family to help, but it was her brother-in-law Brother Qing.
This young man was only twelve or thirteen years old, thin and thin, but he was dressed like a weak scholar, and when he carried a duck to kill, he was obviously a little reluctant. Everyone was a little curious when they saw it, and they couldn't help but ask the two old men.
The old man did not mean to hide it, and said: "Now Lingnan is relatively peaceful, and it is recruiting talents from various states. As long as you have some literacy and writing, you may go to Xingwangfu. If he is selected by the imperial court, it is possible to serve as an official in various places! Brother Qing also went to private school for three years with the gentleman in the county, and now although the imperial examination is still hopeless, as long as you work hard, I am afraid that there is still some hope! ”
"This court is a lie, isn't it?" Yuan Shihou looked at the old man with some curiosity, and said worriedly: "I am afraid that you are very far away from the Xingwang Mansion, if there is any news over there, I am afraid that you will miss a lot of opportunities!" Historically, the imperial court has hired people, which requires scientific research and filial piety. Although Brother Qing is literate and has read books, he is afraid that he can really be useful, and it is difficult to do so! ”
"This guest is misunderstood!" The old man surnamed Wang hurriedly distinguished: "The eldest son of the little old man is working as a foreman in that mine, and he is also a well-known among the neighbors around him, and the steward above him is from Xingwang's mansion with the lord." They have personally come to Xiao Lao'er's house, and they have mentioned that Brother Qing'er is physically weak, and it is obviously impossible to enter the mine, but if he relies on his studies and literacy, he is very likely to go to Xingwangfu immediately! “
Liu Jixing was not interested in hearing this, and when he saw that there was no decent stool in this house, everyone was sitting on a tree stump or a dead tree trunk, and his eyes looked around.
But I happened to see a pile of tree roots and wood in the corner of the courtyard, the roots looked very large, and the wood was thicker than the thighs, so I asked the Chen who was drying clothes what they were for. Chen didn't think so much, and told him that these were all used by the villagers to dry and burn fires.
Liu Jixing was naturally surprised when he heard this, but he was immediately relieved. Because of this journey, there are ancient trees everywhere, and trees that are more than a foot thick can only be regarded as small trees. As long as the farmer has a heart, this firewood will naturally be continuous. Seeing that the wood had been dried and that the roots of the tree had a bit of shape, he said to Chen to borrow some and walked over to choose.
At first, everyone didn't pay attention to Liu Jixing, because Ouyang Tong approached the two old men and successfully got a hemp duck, so everyone naturally wanted to chat with the old man. And the two old men also seemed to be talkative, and when they saw that everyone was kind, they became more cordial.
After a while, Huan Huan saw what Liu Jixing was tinkering with, so she came over to watch. Because after seeing Liu Jixing pull out a dagger, Chen on the side was also startled. But seeing Liu Jixing gesturing on the wood, his heart was a little settled. Then I saw Liu Jixing keep cutting and chopping, and kept moving against a pile of wood.
It turned out that Liu Jixing saw that there were a lot of camphor trees in this wood, plus a few quite large roots, and he thought of his hobby of root carving in later generations. In addition, at this time, he can say that his strength is infinite, and the sharp dagger in his hand is slashed, which is better than the effect of the lathe in later generations, so he decided to make a set of furniture for this family.
After comparing the height and width, Liu Jixing naturally cut it skillfully. He was in the palace of Xingwangfu, because there were no suitable tables and chairs, so he designed it himself. Later, I found that my strength was infinite, and naturally these fiddling were even more handy. After cutting the noodles and legs he needed, a wooden stool that only existed in the Song Dynasty appeared in front of everyone.
The two old men of the Wang family were stunned for a long time, and the Chen family vaguely understood what Liu Jixing was doing, but he still couldn't help but ask out loud. When I learned that it was a long wooden bench, I couldn't help but go up and sit down. Feeling the comfort of this stool, she looked at Liu Jixing's eyes a little different.
Later, under the stunned gaze of everyone, Liu Jixing took local materials, and the two delicate tree roots were skillfully inlaid together to make a very charming tabletop. Originally, Liu Jixing wanted to make a tea tray, but suddenly thought that the people here did not have a high understanding of tea, and they wasted their expressions and worked hard, so it was better to make a table for them.
Sure enough, when four stools and a table were placed in the courtyard, both the family and Ouyang Tong looked at Liu Jixing blankly. Now everyone doesn't know what Liu Jixing is doing!
The family almost forgot that Liu Jixing's posture of cutting iron like clay was something that ordinary people could do. Just looking at this set of tables and chairs, I vaguely understood that there was finally a decent set of furniture at home.
Liu Jixing steadily helped the old man of the Wang family to sit down at the table, but Hua Rui gently admired: "Lang Jun is skillful, when he first saw the Western Regions Hu stool and these tables and chairs, the concubine couldn't help but sigh. I didn't expect to see Lang Jun with my own eyes today, and he actually made a set in a short time, and now I can't believe it! “
Liu Jixing laughed, gently took Hua Rui's hand, and said softly: "This kind of family, as long as a certain family has seen it, it can be fiddled with, it is not unusual!" However, let's go to Xingwangfu on this trip, if there is a problem with our livelihood, as long as we make a set every day, we will naturally not worry about this food in the future! “
