Chapter 39: Salt Pond
Chapter 39 Salt Supervision Pool
"That's right! You are the daughter of Master Cai, you have been knowledgeable since childhood, read a lot of books, know a lot, not only inherit the legacy of Master Cai's history compilation, but also teach women to learn characters, and teach a few more talented women for my Han Dynasty. ”
Liu Xie nodded unabashedly, he knew that no one would believe these words, let alone a family of poets and books like Cai Yan.
"Your Majesty, you still want women to learn calligraphy."
Cai Yan was even more shocked, setting up a female official was a panicked move, seeing that Liu Xie's intention was to set up a girls' school, so that women could read and write like men.
Although the constraints on women in the Han Dynasty were not as strict as those in the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was also a society in which men were superior to women, men were dominant, and women were accessories.
In this society, women have a lower status, and it is common to be robbed and robbed.
Especially in the Three Kingdoms, count which beauty has not been robbed, not counting Cai Yan in front of you, there are big and small Qiao, step trainer Mrs. Bu in Jiangdong alone, and Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Mi in Liu Bei have been robbed.
Zhang Ji's wife Zou, Yuan Xi's wife Luo Shen Zhen Mi, and of course, the most mysterious Diao Chan were also sent to rob and rob.
So the Three Kingdoms is a history of robbery, either you rob me, or I rob you, robbing money, land, food, people, fame, everything.
Liu Xie said with emotion: "Of course! All men in the world have the right to read and learn words, and men can better understand things when they read, make meritorious contributions, benefit the people, and give advice to the Han Dynasty.
Women can also increase their knowledge by reading, assist their husbands well, educate their children well, settle down the man's back house, and also contribute to the Han Dynasty, why not let them read and write.
Women can hold up half of the sky, you see these years, every year of war, all men died in battle, or sent into the army, thousands of miles of fertile land no one cultivated, if women can work in large quantities like men (there were women in the Han Dynasty, but the scope is not large), reduce the burden, can improve life, promote development, will be able to prosper the place.
Of course, you don't have to worry about women's lack of strength to do heavy work, at that time, I will make people think more about some time-saving and labor-saving methods of labor and farming, and you will have to teach the women of the common people's families with those knowledge? ”
Cai Yan didn't expect the Son of Heaven to be so bold, and he sincerely raised a trace of respect, and couldn't help but worry: "Your Majesty wants to break the shackles of the rules, but will it cause criticism in the world, and all the princes and officials in the world will say that Your Majesty is ridiculous and funny." ”
After all, reading is a high threshold, knowledge is in the hands of the family, those classics and books are the lifeblood of all families, they will not share it, and at the same time, it will also strangle the channels for ordinary people to obtain knowledge.
Cai Yan was born in a famous family, and he married a famous family, and he knew that the Cai family in Chen and the Wei family in Hedong all did this.
"Haha! This world is my world, it is the world of the Han Dynasty, why do I need to call their opinions, as long as the people support me and support me, I will have everything, and I will own the entire Han Dynasty. Thinking of the things that the family did, Liu Xie smiled with disdain, and said bluntly: "
"Look at this world, the princes, families, and heroes are all sharing the meat of the big Han and digging the corners of the big Han.
One by one, in order to compete for power and profit, occupy territory, conquer each other, raise troops, abandon the people, and regard it as a grass mustard and a dog; One by one, everyone wants to unify the Quartet, and everyone does not listen to the call, why should I care about them.
If you want Emperor Taizu Gao to destroy Qin and Chu, it is the support of the people of the world and the trust of the people that can repeatedly defeat strong enemies with weak momentum, and finally dominate the world and sit on the four seas. ”
He Liu Xie is now full of bad cards in his hands, and the big man has reached the worst point, is he afraid that it will be even worse?
Unafraid! Isn't it broken or standing?
Either it's a little more thoroughly broken, a little more completely broken.
With the support of the Maison, that's a joke. If the family had supported it, why would this world be where it is now.
"Your Majesty can say yes, it's the people's daughter's narrow vision." Cai Yan was overturned by Liu Xie, and he was very thundered, and after thinking about it carefully, it was really as the Son of Heaven said, and the virtues of the families in various places were clear at a glance.
At this time, she realized that the Son of Heaven, who had been living in the deep palace for a long time and was under house arrest as a puppet, had such a far-reaching vision and saw it so thoroughly.
He is not short-sighted, blind and deaf who knows nothing about the world.
The Son of Heaven has such a great talent, why can't he reunify, integrate the place, create the glory of the Han Dynasty, and reproduce the prosperous era, so he didn't refuse much, faintly looking forward to what kind of female official Liu Xie would give, waiting for the woman to get more freedom.
And, of course, status.
As a woman, she understands very well that no matter whether it is a man or a woman, the more knowledge she acquires, the more her status will become different, even if women are still subordinate to men.
Camp overnight at Leishou Mountain, continue to set off to the north the next day, pass Puban and then turn to the east, reach Wuxing Lake, and continue to stay overnight.
"It's the middle of winter, but the scenery is still beautiful." The Wuxing Lake under the sunset has a beautiful view, on the slope of the south of the lake, the lake water is clear, the fish do not come up to spit bubbles, and the waterfowl do not need to fly to the south for the winter and sometimes flutter into the water or between the aquatic plants.
"Your Majesty! There are two ways to choose from tomorrow, one is to take the north road along the water to pass through the city, Xie Cheng Ransheng to Anyi, from here you can walk by land or water, but the time is longer, because it takes half a circle.
The other road is to go straight east, from Yanjian to Anyi, although the road is nearly flat, but the place passed is desolate and rarely inhabited. ”
Yang Cheng and the others symbolically asked, anyway, this kind of thing does not hurt their authority, and simply sells face to the Son of Heaven to show their bearing, so as not to say that they are holding His Majesty hostage.
As soon as Liu Xie heard that the side of the road near him was going to pass by the salt prison, he had a hint of thought, so he said, "Oh! Let's go to the south, just go to the salt prison to have a look, it is the salt production area of my Han Dynasty, and it is the main tax place of Anyi. ”
The salt supervisor is located in a small town, and Chuanmen is responsible for managing the salt production of the pond.
The salt produced by Xie Chi (Shanxi Yuncheng Salt Pond in later generations) is white and fine, called Guanyan, is the main source of taxation in Hedong and even the Han Dynasty, Sizhou and Bingzhou regions are supplied by the salt of Jiechi, who gets this place is to control the lifeblood of one party, but also a money bag.
Since you can pass through there to go to Anyi, Liu Xie naturally wants to go and see, in the future, it will be a treasure land for his Zhongxing Han, go and take a look, and learn about it.
"Your Majesty! Do you want to investigate and understand the solution pool, understand the people's situation and salt production? Jia Xu asked.
The performance of the Son of Heaven is getting better and better, and it is very rare to think about doing the right thing and understanding local affairs as soon as he enters Hedong.
Liu Xie naturally nodded and asked: "What does Aiqing think, if we vigorously develop the salt pond and increase the output, then we can increase the army and expand the army without worrying about the financial resources." ”
"Your Majesty! Although the salt produced by Jiechi is good, the production is limited, and it has only been supplied to Guanzhong and the prefectures, and the tax increase will not be too much.
Unless there is a way to increase output, it can also be sold north to other races, or invaded the Kanto region, so that it can quickly accumulate wealth. Jia Xu broke the way, Liu Xie nodded teachablely, and did not refute the empty talk, Jia Xu said again:
"Your Majesty! It's better to postpone the departure tomorrow, if Your Majesty has a heart, it is better to go and check the iron prison. ”
"Iron Supervisor?" Liu Xie didn't know why he asked, Hedong still produces iron?
Jia Xu explained: "Your Majesty, there should be Yunzi Iron in the peaks of each section of Zhongtiao Mountain, and the imperial court has issued an order to mine and utilize, I think Hedong County should have a local county supervisor, and there should also be iron ore caves on this side of Wuxing Lake." ”
