Chapter 308: Changing the title

The Bright Moon Valley is not big. It is bounded by a small river and is divided into two parts, north and south.

Most of the families north of Xiaohe have moved out, and a few months later, only a few dozen families are left around Li Xiang's new home. The vacated houses were completely demolished to make room for more and larger core workshops, and almost all of the existing core workshops had to be renovated.

The bricks, tiles, wood, and stones on the south bank of the small river were quickly emptied by the low-level mountain people who lacked materials and money, leaving only an open space mixed with stones. In the future, it will be the home base of important workshops, specializing in the production of certain small volumes, high value goods that need to be kept secret.

Tomorrow is Li Xiang's wedding, and the Huali class, which received a lot of money, sent a small half of the pillars, just for the mountain people who are loyal to Li Xiang to perform.

On the edge of the river, there is a sea of people near the temporary long stage. The noise, laughter, and heckling shook the night sky.

Puppet shows, the Seven Holy Laws, shadow puppet plays, burlesques, miscellaneous plays, kicks, six kinds of tricks that are very common in Goolan Washeli are put in the Mingyue Valley, but they make the boring life of the mountain people so excited that it is difficult to restrain themselves. Zhuang Ding, who was also fascinated, almost didn't stop the idiot who wanted to rush to the stage.

The "Seven Holy Laws" are actually magic, and "kicking" is also called acrobatics.

Shen Laoying chewed and ate in his mouth, looked at the idiot who was pulled to the side and spanked, and sighed: "In my life, I will serve the master of the village!" ”

"In the south of the Yangtze River, I did not forget the poor mountain people, and I did not forget the dangers in the Qinling Mountains, and I collected women and women to transport them back...... The days in Qinling have risen, and the poor men have gained strength, always thinking about women. ”

"There were a lot of obscene things a few days ago. If you can't marry a woman again, everyone in the Qinling Mountains will run to the Mingyue Valley, and they won't be squeezed to death by then......"

Tang Guohao opened his mouth to take the sugar-pickled dried apricots handed over by Shen Laoying's daughter, only to feel sweet and sour, and quench his thirst. He patted the wooden hairpin on the little girl's head and whispered:

Hugh spoke wildly. It is clear that Chen Jiaxing and other traffickers are traffickers, and when they see that it is profitable to sell poor women in Jiangnan, they do this kind of pickled business, what does it have to do with the owner of the village? ”

"And the lord of the village will soon change his name. In a few days, the titles of the owner of the village and the owner of the village will be abandoned. ”

Shen Lao Ying suddenly realized, and finally understood how Chen Jiaxing's family members got the household registration......

In order to allow the mountain people to relax their mood from time to time, among the several plans for "spiritual civilization construction" put forward by Li Xiang, the gathering and listening to operas have been initially realized.

The market once every two to three months has been regularized in many places in the eastern part of the Qinling Mountains. Gongzhong is working hard to attract traveling merchants and foot traders to reach further afield.

Gongzhong also regularly hires the team of Goolan Washe to sing at key locations in the eastern Qinling Mountains, such as mountain passes, valleys, river ditches and other places. As long as the acrobatic troupe passes by, the number of criminal incidents in the vicinity will definitely drop by half in ten days and a half!

The people of Da Zhou like to be lively, and the people of Qinling Mountain are indispensable for stimulation.

Liu Susu listened to the excitement by the river, and couldn't remember the various taboos about tomorrow's wedding summarized by Xiong Zhang, Lei Xiao and others.

There are also Li Mengkong, Cheng Clerk, and Zhao Bo's wife in the room.

A group of middle-aged and elderly women were a little tired when they saw the future housewife, and began to talk about the shameful topic of how to satisfy men.

Liu Susu's cheeks flushed.

Xiong Zhang took a sip of the shameless middle-aged and elderly women, turned his head and said in Liu Susu's ear:

"Master Mother, don't forget the Spring Palace picture album that we gave you. If the sex is not going well, take it out and look at it twice. ”

"Your cousin will enter the door together, but the lady must remember that the proprietor must be left in her room on the first night of the wedding. Otherwise, something big will happen......"

Compared with the liveliness in Liu Susu's room, Liu Xiaoci's boudoir only has two best friends, Cao Wenwen and Wang Xiaochen, who has just returned to the mountain, as well as a few cronies of the medical and health department who only know how to eat fruits.

Fortunately, Liu Yuan and Liu Sheng are back. With his father and uncle by his side, Liu Xiaoci felt a lot better.

Liu Xiaoci understands that it is good for her to enter the door together, and it cannot be compared with Liu Susu.

Liu Susu is the main mother in the hearts of the mountain people. Although Liu Xiaoci is known as a "flat wife", she is also a concubine.

Unlike anywhere else in the Great Zhou Dynasty, after Liu Susu got married, she was not only the main mother of the eastern Qinling Mountains, but also the support of all the women under Li Xiang's rule.

With regard to the advancement of women, the Council has postponed the age of marriage to 16 and stipulated that only women who have reached the age of 16 can be married.

Although most of the mountain people support this rule because of other considerations, the probability of a woman dying in childbirth has dropped by half after all.

Two months ago, the public high school officially recognized the status of women and men as generally equal in property. Not only is it explicitly stated that a woman can start a new household, but it is also mandatory for all households to be registered with both male and female heads of household. All family property is joint property, except for personal property registered in the respective names of the spouses. Once the reconciliation is carried out, the individual property belongs to the individual, the joint property is divided in half, and the property due to the children is calculated separately.

A month ago, Wu Xiaoling and Liu Xiaoci were officially promoted to shopkeepers, marking that women can still hold senior positions in Gongzhong.

In a living environment where there are many orphans and widows, who are accustomed to talking with knives, and who may die at any time, the vast majority of mountain people hope that once they are killed in battle or hacked to death, their wives will be in control. The improvement of women's status comes from this, and women with brains, financial resources, status, and status have a great sense of crisis.

Status and power are like the deadliest forbidden fruits, even women are difficult to resist. Power is attached to men's panic about what is behind them, which is too unreliable, just like the castle in the air.

That's why the women in Liu Susu's room were so anxious, for fear that Li Xiang would be bored with Liu Susu.

Therefore, the Bauhinia Army, whose combat strength is still doubtful, has not received much money from Gongzhong, but it has received enough money and food from dozens of rich women.

Therefore, the men in the mountains gradually discovered that the women and little ladies around them had formed a group to crack down on alcoholism, gambling, prostitution, domestic violence, and other bad behaviors......

The government hall in the middle of the valley has been expanded and finally officially became a building across the river two months ago.

Lin Xueyong used the incident to stimulate Li Xiang's sense of crisis.

Li Xiang realized more deeply that there are still many talented people in Da Zhou, and there are unexpected backgrounds hidden in all corners. If he wants to ensure the initiative to go or stay, or rebel or surrender, or fight or defend, he must also keep a low profile until he has enough strength.

When leaving Jiangnan, Mr. Zi'an seemed to inadvertently laugh at Li Xiang, saying that Li Xiang was still not low-key enough.

What kind of villager, brother's old camp, farmer, villager, deacon...... They are all titles that are easy to make the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty sensitive. Since we want to be rich and strong, we must learn from the heroes in history, as well as the contemporary heroes such as Zhujiazhuang and Hujiazhuang.

Li Xiang thought so. After thinking about it carefully, he found that if the Great Zhou Dynasty, when the literati were in the world, wanted to be stable and strong, they must first do the following three things:

You have to have a crazy and cool nickname, such as the Flying Sage, the Demon King of the Mixed World, and the Little Overlord or something.

Have at least one hobby that burns a lot of money and can make a big impression. The practice of giving money when you see someone is very powerful, and it is easy to become famous, such as Song Jiang.

It is necessary to give the scholar class a sense of ignorance and unintentional rebellion. Li Xiang's reputation for being good at business and his strange skills has been widely known, and this is basically done......

"Since the title of the owner of the village and the owner of the village can no longer be used, I think we might as well be called the proprietor. Many people call their owners the proprietors. ”

"Yes, and the proprietor also has the meaning of the main house, which corresponds to Xibin and happens to be agreeable. When outsiders come to the mountains, they are Xibin, so we should naturally have a proprietor! ”

"Can't be called Zhuang Ding anymore? Now more than 4,000 young people who receive regular training can gather to hang the banners of the township soldiers, archers, and native troops given by the government. ”

"That makes sense. However, the elites in iron armor are very troublesome, and they can't go out of the mountain casually. Why don't you call them, Nedin? ”

"Very good, very good, the bear boy has grown again. It's just that there will be no such title as Mingyuezhuang in the future, so I'm really reluctant to ......"

"Uncle Li, I also feel that I have to change. If we continue to call Mingyuezhuang, then everyone outside the mountain will associate Mingyueji with us, and there will definitely be a lot more people staring at us, so we have to guard against it. I think the name of Nanshan Fort is very good, in the official map, our small valley and the mountain behind it are added together, and the place name is called Nanshan. ”

At present, what Li Xiang should do most is to develop more low-key and further hide his strength. Therefore, when the mountain people were lively, and when Liu Susu was receiving premarital education, the high-level people gathered in the council hall were nervously discussing the change of title.

Li Mengkong, Zhang Wanli, Xiong Chengwen, Deng Yushun, Zhao Bo, Na Shusen, Cheng Jianghai, Hu Jixiang and others sat on both sides, quietly listening to the changes in various titles after summarizing many opinions.

The first is the change in Li Xiang's own title. Because of the word Yifu, Li Xiang is also known as Li Yifu.

The overall image left by Li Xiang to the outside world is a relatively distinctive hero.

The forces that survived in the cracks, such as the green forest bandits, the green-skinned ruffians, and the porter bow, admired and respected Li Xiang himself, and called Li Xiang Li Tianwang and Li Dangjia.

The group of mountain people under the control of Gongzhong is called "Qinling Mountain People", and the small people of villages who continue to resist or live their own small lives are called "Qinling Tumin". The Qinling mountain people and the Qinling natives called Li Xiang "the commander", or directly the "proprietor".

The gentry and merchants who gave face called Li Yifu Li Yuanwai, Li Chaofeng, and Li Jiazhong Xunlang, and there were many people who contemptuously called Li Yifu "Li Village Leader", "Li Bao Tou", and "Li Shantou".

Outside the staff and worship are the common words of the Great Zhou, and they are the standard titles for the rich and powerful. Li Jiazhong Xunlang is talking about Li Yifu's official rank.

Then came the complete renaming of the Qinling Armed Forces.

Completely abolish the nondescript and easily associative titles of "Zhuang Ding", "Xiang Ding" and "Shanding". With the documents issued by the Xunyang government, Li Yifu could arrange several positions that were nominally subordinate to the township soldier system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and most of the soldiers were able to maintain their combat strength under the banners of township soldiers, archers, and native soldiers.

Elite forces will be drawn together to become off-duty soldiers, and will be kept strictly secret from the outside world. The few mountain people who know the inside story affectionately call it "Armor Neiding".

In addition, the full-time guards Li Yifu and Liu Susu, a mysterious armed force composed of good players with different specialties and brave and reliable prime men, are still called "personal guards", or "proprietor personal guards". Li Yifu took his own safety too seriously, and even arranged all the disabled guards to the back mountain, and there were less than two public middle school personnel and ordinary mountain people who knew the detailed situation.

Finally, the place names and institutional names of the southeastern foot of the Qinling Mountains were changed.

In order to completely separate from the prosperous and eye-catching Mingyueji, Li Yifu knew that most of the Qinling mountain people were very reluctant to call "Mingyuezhuang", so he could only resolutely rename Mingyuezhuang as "Nanshan Fort". Nanshan is the place name of the mountain behind Nanshan Fort in the official map.

In the next few years, the mountain people who missed the title of "Mingyue Village" in their hearts, especially the old mountain people, also privately called Nanshan Fort "Mingyue Fort". There is also a scheming gentry family, calling Nanshan Fort "Lijiazhuang".

Because the title of "Martyrs' Shrine" was too eye-catching, Li Yifu had to rename it "Martyrs' Shrine".

The Martyrs' Shrine soon underwent an expansion and became a sacred place for mountain people to worship during festivals and at the end of the war, and it also became the spiritual sustenance of all soldiers. After death, it has become the common wish of those who died in battle to be buried in the Martyrs' Shrine.

The public and middle school departments, which are equivalent to autonomous management bodies, have also undergone certain changes.

The five places and five rooms known to the people of Qinling Mountain have not increased or decreased, but their functions have been adjusted. Individual names were changed.

The name "Commercial and Commercial Office" was too arrogant, and it was renamed the Commercial Office. Without the term "Zhuang Ding", the "Zhuang Ding Office" was changed to the Salary Department.

The examination room is responsible for selecting and recruiting talents, and it has been renamed as the selection room, which is low-key enough. Because of his good use of waterboarding, the torture room was renamed the water room, and people who knew the inside story shuddered at the mention of the water room. The accounting room was merged into the accounting room with similar functions, and the tax collection of the money room was increased.

Workshop office, construction office, medical and health office, commercial office, salary office, household room, house selection, money room, housing calculation, water room. The five rooms that have been changed did not bring any discomfort to the mountain people, and they only thought that they had changed their brand......
