Chapter 158 The Grain Standard of the Lonely Bamboo Country (Seeking Completeness)

Although Wang Xu advertises that he treats everyone equally, in fact, there will still be differential treatment.

And everyone knows that there are still differences in the origin of the lonely bamboo country.

Among them, the lowest level is the household registration of the city, followed by the military household of Linhubao, although the household registration of the two places enjoys the same treatment, but there are still differences between the city, which is temporarily insurmountable.

After all, these two places have just been included in the country of Guzhu.

And the better one is naturally the 'fairy country' in the eyes of everyone.

All of them are from their hometowns.

The residents of Qiancheng, who were fortunate enough to have been to the city, called it the real 'country of immortals' after returning home, and it was simply the place where the rumored immortals lived.

And no matter how advanced the place of origin is, it is from Chaoge City.

People who have been to Chaoge City think that it is already a fairyland, although the Chaoge City under construction now has only four city walls, and the Great Wall built around the ancestral mountain, but just from entering the gate of the city that is more than ten meters high, it is like entering a fairyland isolated from the world.

The galloping road in the Chaoge City is not rammed earth, nor cement, but paved with bricks and stones, the width alone is enough to be twenty meters, the two sides are fixed with bronze steps, and the central rows of bricks and stones are also engraved with inscriptions, and the 'heavenly strips' arranged by Wang Xu are arranged.

Now the school palace teaches people to write, it is to carve words on this kind of masonry, basically it takes half an hour to carve a word, so it is very effective for the people to read and write.

After all, it's better to have a good memory, so it's better to have a bad pen.

If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't found a large gold mine for the time being, Mo Kui would still want to use gold liquid to irrigate it, which would be called 'The Words of Gold and Jade'.

Wang Xu did not stop this kind of extravagance and waste, because he felt that gold and jade had no special value in themselves, and the only characteristic was that they could meet the aesthetic needs of human beings, and as for the later added value, they were all attached to many political or economic purposes.

This theory is based on the value that scarcity is precious, but Wang Xu does not promote such values as in the country of Guzhu, because it is too easy to form individual differences, which is not conducive to unity.

The economic and political system that Wang Xu wants to establish is still based on the 'grain standard'.

The system of the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasty was built on bronze, because bronze was the only important strategic resource at that time, and even grain was not as important as bronze, this was because the system and population at that time were determined, and the slaves responsible for producing grain were not considered people, so most of the time the nobles did not count their rations, as long as the food was enough for the nobles to eat, as for the slaves, they didn't care if they ate grass and trees or even people.

But bronze is different, mastering bronze is equivalent to mastering weapons, because the weapons forged by iron-smelting technology at that time were all bronze, and the reserve and holding of bronze are related to the rise and fall and strength of a country.

The Shang Dynasty moved its capital several times, and it was also inseparable from the depletion of the surrounding bronze mines, and the sudden rise of the Chu State in the Spring and Autumn Period also had an inseparable relationship with the southern bronze mines.

However, from the beginning of the Warring States period, iron smelting technology entered the early stage of iron from bronze, and the status of bronze will gradually be replaced by iron, and at the same time, the social structure and system will also be affected.

However, Wang Xu felt that this kind of use of strategic reserves as a system to rule may have the idea of advocating violence from the root, so he set the standard system of the Guzhu country as the 'grain standard'.

Tun bronze is for war, and tun grain for food.

Although there is no monetary system in the country of Guzhu at present, if it appears in the future, it is estimated that it will be 'food stamps' and will not be ready to issue currency or banknotes.

However, Wang Xu doesn't know whether this method will work, but at least for now, it will definitely work, after all, he still thinks that the route of the planned economy is the most suitable for the current development.

Therefore, even if it seems to be a bit of 'labor and money' and 'formalism', Wang Xu also feels that it is necessary, because this is to create the three views of the clan.

But even if there is a general direction, what are the detailed rules and regulations and concepts, Wang Xu is really a little powerless, after all, he is not specialized in studying politics and law, so he very much wants to snatch some available sages from the Jixia School Palace.

At this time, the scholars were more pure than the scholars after the Han Dynasty, and they might really be able to create a group of politics and law that benefited the country and the people.

Accepting the remnants of the more than 2,000 Qin soldiers brought by Li Xin is also a new attempt by Wang Xu to see if the people who have adapted to the system of the Central Plains can integrate into the system of the Lonely Bamboo Kingdom.

In the Central Plains system, the first important thing is family lineage, the second important thing is the field, and the third important thing is money and grain.

Because there is no innocent family background, you can only be a slave and a maid, and you do not enjoy the protection of the country's legal rights and interests.

The second field, taking the Qin State as an example, with the reform of the Shang Dynasty, the progress of labor tools, and the reward of ploughing cattle allowed the Qiantou leaders to cultivate more fields and increase production, and some of the additional grain production can also be exempted from paying taxes, which is equivalent to legitimate income.

The third is money and food, although at this time there is money and food is not like the later generations to do whatever they want, but at least in the same class, rich people can still do whatever they want, at least they can marry a few more concubines, if they are lucky enough to cultivate a talent, they can be smoked by their ancestors.

And these three things are not available in the country of Guzhu, the so-called family background refers to the privileged class, except for Wang Xu, Mo Kui, and Mo Lian because they can have some privileges because they can 'pass the gods', even the big Sima Mo Wolf has to go to the canteen every day to line up to eat.

As for the field, because there is no need to pay taxes, the field has no meaning for the clansmen, and the third money and grain, this is even more without the lonely bamboo country, except for the wife and children, everything else may be shared.

Even because Wang Xu has not yet found silk and linen, he has not studied papermaking, so even the toilet chips for going to the toilet are shared, and they are disinfected and reused after use.

Of course, Wang Xu considered himself privileged in this matter, because he used silk, so he also desperately wanted to let Wang leave as soon as possible to get something that could make paper.

If these two thousand Qin soldiers can adapt to the system and living conditions of the Guzhu Kingdom, then at least it shows that Wang Xu's current way has universal value and practical effects.

However, since it accepted the emigration, it could not be called the Qin army, and Wang Xu renamed it the Ruomu army.

The name Ruomu is taken from Ruomu, the second son of Boyi, and it is also the surname Ying, but it is the Xu family, which can be regarded as a continuation of the lineage of the Qin State, leaving them a memory.

Li Xin happily got out of the car and went back to relay the news.

Wang Xu inspected a circle of breeding ponds built by dumb children, and also turned back to Chaoge, because the charcoal fire was not enough.

Chaoge's palace was expanded on the basis of the previous wooden Son of Heaven's car, and because Wang Xu had been in the capital for a long time, there were basically only Mo Lian and Little Black Tiger living here.

Still not getting a promise when to send troops, Wang Li left angrily.

"You're back." When Mo Lian saw Wang Xu coming back, she put down the rice bowl in her hand and ran over barefoot to undress Wang Xu.

"Do you have to get used to it?" Wang Xu casually handed the robe to Mo Lian, and walked over to look at the rice bowl in front of the little black tiger.

In the rice bowl was a neatly cut strip of slender and thick similar meat, and the little black tiger was lying lazily on the ground, waiting for someone to feed it.

The tiger, which is almost six months old, has only grown to the size of an adult wild dog, and because of the blue and gray coat color, it looks even more skinny, and there is no domineering spirit of the king of beasts at all, Xiao Hei is more than three circles smaller than his younger brother Xiao Bai, and he can't tell that he is a compatriot at all.

"Huh." Because he was a little unfamiliar with Wang Xu, Xiao Hei roared in a low voice with some fear.

Wang Xu patted its head casually, and said to Mo Lian, "It has its own hands and feet, and it doesn't need to be fed by others, it's just thin, not disabled." ”

"But if you don't cut the meat and feed it finely, it won't eat it, and I can't help it." Mo Lian pouted aggrievedly.

"It's all what you're used to, and when it's really hungry, will you eat it?" Wang Xu snorted lightly: "If you have this time, you might as well rest for a while." ”

As if sensing that Wang Xu was depriving it of its privileges, the little black tiger shrank his head and quietly ran behind Mo Lian.

"It's just a matter of time, don't worry about it." Mo Lian smiled sweetly, picked up hot water from the charcoal stove and began to make tea, "Xiao Hei is a holy beast of our country, and he can't be neglected." ”

"It's just a beast with a little luck." Wang Xu sat on a complete white tiger skin sofa, touched the tiger's head and chuckled, "You must know that it can become a holy beast, not because it was born as a holy beast, but because it was lucky enough to meet us." ”

"So it's the Emperor's favor." Mo Lian smiled and touched the little black tiger's head, "And if it's not a natural holy beast, how can it be a compatriot?" It's still a natural holy beast, isn't it? ”

"Sophistry." Wang Xu touched his chin and chuckled.

"Just like us, how can we survive this winter without your grace? Not to mention that the development has now been worry-free, the people still have the heart to be at home, the weather has warmed a lot, and the rabbits in the mountains and forests have run out, and you still don't let them go to work? Raising a bunch of lazy people for nothing? ”

"It's not for nothing, their weekday workload is enough in exchange for these months of vacation, and the combination of work and rest can be more abundant." Wang Xu smiled and shook his head, "And didn't you also assign some fine work to each family?" It's not idle, is it? ”

"Is sharpening knives at home every day considered work? Almost all of the blades we produce are blown and broken, and letting them sharpen their knives only makes the pattern more beautiful, without much practical significance, seeing the army marching, the granary must be half empty. Mo Lian offered tea to Wang Xu and said softly.

"What? Do you think it's time to go on the expedition? Wang Xu raised his eyebrows slightly, took the teacup, and played with it in his hand.

"No matter when the army goes out, the granary reserves still have to be prepared in advance, and half of the food consumption has increased recently, and this group of people is eating more instead of working." Mo Lian frowned and snorted softly.
