The situation in Vietnam
"Then come with me!"
Liu Qingqing said, got up and went to a room on the right. Xiaoshuang followed.
Seeing that the room was spacious and bright, there were many bookshelves on the left hand side of the room, which were full of books, but the right hand side was empty, but on the wall hung a pair of slaves and a short knife. Directly opposite is a bookcase, behind which hangs a rough hand-drawn map.
Xiaoshuang saw Liu Qingqing take out a bamboo stick from behind the bookcase, and it seemed that he was going to teach himself a lesson.
This reminded Xiaoshuang of his time at school, and chalk beckoned to his head when he wandered.
Yue was originally a vassal of Daxin, and later Daxin was in civil turmoil, according to the generals who defended Yue, they also sent troops back to fight for power, and the ancestors of the Liu family took advantage of the situation to raise troops and become independent, and established the Yue country.
The ancestors of the Fang family and the ancestors of the Fang family contributed a lot, and were later named the king of Beiyue and the king of Guyue, passed down from generation to generation. This is the current framework of Vietnam's rights.
"Why didn't the ancestor of the Liu family claim the title of emperor back then?" Xiao Shuang asked with a socket.
"In the myths and stories handed down from the Yue Kingdom, it is already the supreme glory to be called the king, and there is another reason, that is, for fear of stimulating the later founding of the Great Xuan Kingdom, to avoid endless death.
”
Liu Qingqing pointed to the map on the wall with a bamboo stick and continued: "Liuzhai is located in the south of the Great Xuan Kingdom, with an estimated population of about 180,000 people. The Fangjiazhai of the King of Beiyue is located to the west behind the Liuzhai and has a population of about 150,000 people. King Guyue is in the easterly position behind, with a population of about 120,000. There are no statistics on the land or the rivers, only that they can feed this large number of people. The map also shows only a few large rivers that run from north to south.
Xiaoshuang didn't expect her statistics to be very accurate, but she didn't expect it to be so unreliable, this is simply a small-scale peasant economy that can't be more extensive, which makes Xiaoshuang have a headache, and can't help but scratch her head again.
"We don't have standing soldiers, and the men of the Yue country are hunting in addition to farming, and when they need to change their guards, they will be temporarily transferred, and three will be drawn from one and five from two. The kings took turns to change the defense, and the defense was changed once every three years, and the guard of this change of defense was the king of North Vietnam, Fang Meng, which is why he did not go to the Huashan Festival this time. Otherwise, it wouldn't be cheaper for your brother. ”
Speaking of this, Liu Qingqing smiled rarely. Xiaoshuang also embarrassed "hehe" twice.
Liu Qingqing put down the bamboo stick and walked to the wall on the right hand, took down the crossbow machine hanging on the wall, and took a crossbow arrow from the hanging quiver, and came to Xiaoshuang.
"Our usual weapons are this crossbow and short knife, would you like to try it? There is a target outside the window. ”
Xiaoshuang looked out of the window on the right hand side of Liu Qingqing's finger, and found that there was indeed an arrow target hanging on the right wall of the wind and fire wall where he entered the door just now, but he had been following Liu Huai forward just now, so he ignored looking back. Now after Liu Qingqing's guidance, this situation was discovered.
It seemed that Liu Qingqing wanted to test his force value, so Xiaoshuang asked her to take the crossbow and arrows, put the crossbow arrows into the arrow slot, pull the bowstring until Nuji buckled, and then aimed at the arrow target outside the window.
There is a breeze when I come today, and it blows from the right side to the left when I come, and then according to the strength of the crossbow machine and the weight of the arrow, if you want to hit the bull's-eye, you must aim at the upper left of the center of the target.
Xiaoshuang quickly adjusted the angle, pulled the crossbow machine, and only listened to the sound of "duh", and the arrow hit the red heart. Due to the excessive force, I also saw the tail flickering on its own.
"Good archery." Liu Qingqing exclaimed.
"Where, where, sacrifice ugliness." Xiaoshuang said politely.
But he is proud in his heart, thanks to his love of shooting birds with a slingshot when he was a child.
Xiao Shuang casually returned the crossbow to Liu Qingqing, and what made him feel strange was that the bowstring material of this crossbow seemed to be unusual, both tough and elastic, which was really rare.
"What's the range of this Nu?" Xiaoshuang asked casually.
"Sixty paces of effective range."
"Do you have a good blacksmith in your village? If I do, I can increase its range to two hundred and forty paces, and that's just a rough estimate. ”
Xiaoshuang said confidently.
"You want to use an iron crossbow, but no one can pull it. The servant had thought about this idea before, but he couldn't pull it when he made it, so he had to give up in the end. ”
Before he started doing it, Liu Qingqing had little confidence in him.
"You don't have to worry about this, just prepare personnel and materials for me."
"Alright! That's up to you. Liu Qingqing replied very simply, although he didn't believe that it would be successful, but he still agreed with the attitude of a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
"What armor do you use?" Xiao Jia asked.
Because in general, there will be offensive weapons and protective equipment in war, just like there will be a shield if there is a spear, all of which are indispensable.
"We use bronze armor, bamboo armor, and leather armor, although the protection is not as good as iron armor, but the number is enough, and the materials are simple." Liu Qingqing replied with some pride.
"You didn't use rattan armor?"
Xiaoshuang felt a little strange, in Xiaoshuang's impression, such a subtropical climate is the most suitable for the growth of vines. They should all be made of local materials like Meng Huo in the Three Kingdoms, using rattan armor, which is light and breathable, and has good protection, the only drawback is that it is not fire-resistant, which can be improved.
"Wild vines are so fragile, they break when they break, how can they be made into nails?"
Liu Qingqing had already made a judgment from her innate consciousness.
"That's what you don't know, you have to choose a tough green vine, weave it into a coat, and then soak it in tung oil, soak it repeatedly and dry it many times, and then it will be lined with cowhide, which can be invulnerable. The only drawback is that it is afraid of fire. If you add a cowhide, it's perfect. ”
After speaking, Xiaoshuang secretly felt proud, he was so smart, even Zhuge Kongming didn't solve the problem, and he solved it with a little improvement, what a genius.
"Then even if you solve a problem for me. But now that the population is booming and there is less and less food to eat, why not divide the land to individuals according to your method, increase their willingness to farm, and let them produce more food? ”
It seems that Liu Qingqing thinks this method is feasible.
Xiao Shuang doesn't think so, throughout history, every pioneer in history who launched reforms did not end well.
Shang Ying changed the law, enriched the Qin State, and finally moved the interests of the Qin nobles, and fell into the punishment of a car split, was tied up and crushed with a car, think about how much it hurts, how much it hurts.
The Han Dynasty made a mistake, implemented the Tui En Order, moved the cheese of the princes, and was finally attacked by the kings, and the emperor was forced to behead him in the city.
The front and back were divided in half, the back couldn't move, and the front two hands dragged half of the body to crawl at the entrance of the vegetable market, dragging blood and internal organs all the way until he died of exhaustion, and he didn't understand how he died.
How horrible it is, how horrible it is.
The most recent is the Six Gentlemen of Wuxu of the Qing Dynasty's Hundred Days Restoration, when Tan Sitong was taken to the vegetable market to behead, it is said that there were still people who did not know the truth to eat his meat.
This is all a bloody lesson, Xiaoshuang is not a person who is willing to sacrifice his life for the country, he always thinks that it is better to die than to live, and can only give some good ideas about hello, me, and everyone.
"I beat my father's landlord and divided the land, which he voluntarily did. If we defeat the princes and the owners of the village, who still supports you, you may say that the villagers will support you, but they are just a plate of loose sand, without cohesion, and in the end they still need these owners to manage. If you make such a fuss, you will not be able to be the king
In my opinion, I will set up a pilot project in your Liuzhai village, gather all the farming experts in each village, and teach them how to farm more reasonably, so that those idle fields in rotation can be used, which is equivalent to doubling the fields and doubling the harvest.
To put it bluntly, it is an agricultural technology promotion, working hard from the roots.
"That seems to be the only way to go, but the word landlord is aptly used, the owner of the land. It seems that I am just a big landlord in your mind. ”
"No, no, no, I definitely didn't mean that." Xiaoshuang felt Cheng Cheng frightened and hurriedly explained.
"I don't dare. Come with me, and we'll start implementing your plan now. Liu Qingqing said, turned around and walked out, and Xiaoshuang had to follow behind.
