Thank you for the reward of the book friend Xuange Pavilion Zhai!

Although it was already winter, after a half-day drive under the sun, Zhao Bing's foreheads and faces were sweating a lot.

Zhao Wuxian is also just as hot, just because this wide robe and big sleeves are really a little stuffy.

He looked with some envy at the double-wheeled oxcart with a parasol cover and a curtain, and in it sat a maid. But now is not the time to pursue comfort, if Zhao Wuxian runs inside with a shy face to enjoy the cool with the girls, the team he has just formed is estimated to run away more than half of the cold.

He withdrew his gaze and continued to observe the situation along the way, this was the first time he had left the lower palace since the winter hunt.

As a hegemonic state, the Jin State always has to pay attention to its image, and the official roads near the capital are not badly repaired, at least so that the chariots can travel less bumpy.

On the first day of Yang Tongue Rong, the right side of the car was not hot, and he was bombarded by Ji Qiao, and he said that he wanted to introduce the scenery and people's feelings along the way to Zhao Wuxian.

Yang Yurong was only a corporal, and his status was not as good as that of Sergeant Ji Qiao, so he had to do his own work with a resentful face, and shouted at Zhao soldiers to speed up their pace.

Professionals are different, Wang Sunqi's car is stable. Ji Qiao, on the other hand, raced against time with a pen in one hand and a slip in the other, constantly asking Wu Xian's question about the "circumferential number", and as soon as he responded, he immediately wrote it down.

Of course, Zhao Wuxian will not empty the contents of his stomach to him all at once, but little by little, step by step. When the overseas Chinese are absorbed and carried forward, China's mathematical level should be able to shorten the development process of hundreds of years, right?

Moreover, in the words of later generations, mathematics is the foundation of all natural sciences and even all precision technologies. Zhao Wuxian's promotion of digital science may be able to produce a series of follow-up reactions, and the sooner the time, the greater the impact after fermentation!

Because, now is the Spring and Autumn Period, the embryonic period of the hundred schools of thought, Chinese philosophy and science are still in the process of gestation, and they are extremely plastic.

Thinking of this, Zhao Wuxian felt that his behavior of prying cheap daddy's corner suddenly became noble and selfless......

As the chief accountant of the lower palace, Ji Qiao knows every field and market in the surrounding townships well.

He said that all the way of the country and the wilderness, there is a Lu for ten miles, and there is food and drink, which can allow pedestrians to drink water and rest. Chengyi is more than 30 miles away from the lower palace, this way past, after passing the second house, it is from the official road into the thinner wild road, can only accommodate a horse chariot to drive.

"Little gentleman, from here, you will enter the boundary of Chengyi."

Zhao Wuxian nodded, and when he raised his eyes, on both sides of the wild road were large fields of millet rice that had been harvested.

After crossing over, Zhao Wuxian found that the current climate is much warmer than in later generations, and the rain is humid, the population is small, and the place with a million people in the Celestial Empire may be less than 10,000 now. The local forests and grasslands have not been sufficiently developed, so in the arid Shanxi in later generations, irrigated rice fields can still be seen occasionally at this time, and of course, drought-tolerant millet fields are the majority.

However, this year's year is not good, all four seasons have suffered disasters, and Chengyi Township has many mountains and little land, almost no water conservancy projects have been built, and the yield per mu is surprisingly low.

The terrain slowly climbs higher, there are sporadic wolfberries on the ramp, rough clothes and shabby, and the wild people who are not dragged on the ground are picking the last batch of fruits of this year, just as the poem says: Involving the north mountain, the words pick their berries. Indeed, as my sister Ji Huan said, passers-by had dishes on their faces, and when they saw Zhao Wuxian and his party waving flags, they all hurriedly let them bow down and kowtow to the ridge.

There were also a few Chinese people with swords standing on the side of the road and bowing to Wuxian, they were Chengyi travelers heading to the capital Xintian, after hearing that Zhao Wuxian was going to Chengyi to take office, they looked at each other with strange expressions, but they didn't say anything.

Under Ji Qiao's narration, Zhao Wuxian also learned that the local administrative system of the Western Zhou Dynasty was six towns and six sui. But in the Spring and Autumn Period, the situation has changed somewhat, and the Jin State began to set up the county system from the time of dedication, and after more than 150 years of development, the county has become the most basic geographical unit.

Therefore, the current local administrative division of the Jin Kingdom is as follows: five families are neighbors, five neighbors are li, four li are townships (also known as townships, the towns of a hundred households), five townships are yis (also known as Zhongyi, the towns of a thousand rooms), and Wuyi is a county.

Of course, this is also an ideal number, but it is not so regular. Under the rule of Jiangxian County, there were a total of six yi, which were controlled by Liuqing; Chengyi is a small township under the rule of Zhao's lower palace, with a total of seven li, 370 households, and more than 2,200 mouths.

(neighbors, li, townships, yi, and counties) are respectively set up in neighborhoods, lixu, townships, yi, and county.

This place is really much more barren than the left side of the lower palace, Zhao Wuxian looked at the black stone mountain in the distance, thoughtful.

Ji Qiao said a little strangely: "In the minds of overseas Chinese, the Lord brought so many cattle and horses, probably because he wanted to use the plough that began to appear in Jinlu in recent years to plough the land. But what Qiao Qiao doesn't understand is why the lord has collected almost all the wheat seeds from the lower palace, and in a arid and barren place like Chengyi, if you want to increase the harvest, only a variety of millet can work. ”

After hearing this, he was silent, I don't know what era wheat was introduced to China from West Asia, but at least when King Zhou Mu traveled west, the Xirong tribes along the way had already offered wheat to him.

During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the status of wheat in the minds of the Chinese was far inferior to millet (millet in later generations), and when the temple was worshipped, millet was regarded as a noble thing, and wheat was only occasionally eaten by nobles who wanted to change their taste. The Central Plains has not yet invented grinding, and the taste of wheat grains is really not flattering.

Moreover, the power of habit is enormous, and Ji Qiao does not understand the status of wheat in later generations, so it is not surprising that he does not pay attention to it. No one could have imagined that in just three hundred years, China would set off a wheat revolution from the west, and the tiger and wolf army of the Qin State that opened water conservancy and planted wheat would be swept away. In the Western Han Dynasty, the promotion of wheat in the Central Plains tripled the Chinese population in a hundred years!

Zhao Wuxian didn't answer immediately, he smiled mysteriously: "When you get to the place, Mr. will understand." ”

Unconsciously, after half a day's trek, the group finally arrived in Chengyi.

With the low walls visible in the distance, Zhao Wuxian asked the team to stop by a clear stream, and ordered the sweaty Zhao soldiers to drink water and rest and tidy up their appearance.

Tian Ben, who was the chief of the army, changed his arrogance yesterday, and today can be regarded as a horse before and after the saddle, and when he handed the leather pot to Zhao Wuxian, he suggested: "Little gentleman, Chengyi is not far ahead, I heard that the Cheng family has always regarded this place as their personal belonging, and it is extremely xenophobic. It is better to raise the banner and let me wait for the escort to move forward, I know best that these Chinese are as vulgar and arrogant as me, they cannot recognize a gentleman, and they cannot obey a non-soldier sword. According to me, give them a dismount, so that they can know how powerful the little gentleman is! ”

Tian Ben used himself as an example of vulgarity and arrogance, but Zhao Wuxian was amused, and he laughed and scolded: "You think everyone is like you, like to play tricks? This gentleman is today, he must salute first and then soldier. ”

Chengyi's incurribility, after many reminders from Ji Qiao and others, he was already mentally prepared, and among the seven miles of Chengxiang, the Cheng clan and its branches occupied four of them. For those local snakes, Zhao Wuxian's strategy is that if he can obediently cooperate to give him face, then let them go, otherwise, these newly recruited young Zhao soldiers under him can just practice their hands.

The group continued on the road, and yesterday there was a messenger from the lower palace who informed Chengyi that there would be a new township ruler to take office, so today in the township hall, there are already some people waiting.

The man in the lead was in his forties, with a chubby figure, wearing a crown of soldiers, a large cloth sheep coat, and a handful of comets in his arms. Beside him was a diminutive country witch with black eyeshadow and swarthy hair, dressed in an old, patched witch robe, standing on tiptoe.

After a while, I saw a long snake galloping in a long queue on the wild road, and on the leading horse chariot, a young gentleman with swarthy hair seemed polite and showed them a warm smile.

This little gentleman is really as young as the rumor, and it doesn't seem difficult to get along with, the middle-aged fat man breathed a sigh of relief, and after glancing at Wu Zhu, he hurriedly took two steps and bowed down from a distance.

"Chengyi Dou clan patriarch Dou Pengzu and others welcome the gentleman."

"Comet", i.e. broom. This is a kind of etiquette to welcome guests in the pre-Qin period, and it is also used to welcome new officials, which means that the courtyard has been cleaned and waiting for the king to enter.

Wu Zhu and the remaining dozen or so people also bent down to salute with Dou Pengzu, some of them were the soap subordinates in the township, and there were also clan elders who came from the left and near the miles.

The royal king Sun Qi parked the chariot accurately and steadily in front of everyone, Zhao Wuxian stood upright on the carriage holding the railing, from Zhao Ying, he also learned some tricks of the superior pretending to be forced, his face was impassive, and he raised his hand slightly:

"All of them are exempt from courtesy, Yu is the new township governor of Chengyi, Zhao Wuxian, dare to ask the three elders of the township, the township Situ, the township Sima, and the heads of all ethnic groups have arrived?"

According to the newly implemented local system of the Jin Mourning Duke in China, below the township slaughter, there are three elders in charge of ritual and music education, witch blessing divination, and responsible for township shooting, ancestor worship and other activities; Youxiang Situ is responsible for sowing the autumn harvest, collecting taxes, and submitting the plan; The village commander was responsible for recruiting soldiers, conducting training, and defending against thieves.

And the various li under the jurisdiction of a township are actually a small number of Chinese clans living together, and more savage serfs are enslaved under it, and the patriarch is actually equivalent to Lixu.

That Dou Pengzu was sweating profusely, and he didn't know how to answer, but the witch next to him had the courage to look up and observe Zhao Wuxian.

Because of the previous calculations, Ji Qiao, who had been to Chengyi several times, looked at him coldly, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and after quickly counting the number of people present, he snorted coldly and said: "Lord, except for the patriarch of the Dou clan and Dou Lisao, the rest of the three elders, the township Sima, the township Situ, and the patriarch of Jiali Sangli are all missing!" ”

PS: There is no detailed record of the local administrative system of the Jin Kingdom, and I mixed the system of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period......
