Volume 4 Insight 12. For whom the wind is exposed and the midnight is established
Shi Chong, who was known as the first luxury in the Western Jin Dynasty, had "more than 30 districts of water and water?" More than 100 people, other treasures, bribes, and Tian Zhai said yes. "Its Jingu Garden occupies more than ten hectares, which is really small compared with the three Wu Hao clan of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Wu County, Huiji eight surnames occupy the field are more than 1,000 hectares, thousands of slaves in the Shi manor, these tenants and tribes to note the family registration, it is difficult to get out of the control of the landlord, equivalent to semi-serfs, this kind of scholar manor economy in the Eastern Jin Dynasty has an obvious progressive role, Yongjia Nandu, after the Nandu of Yongjia, the Beidi Shi clan began to develop in the backward areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang because of the "fire cultivation and water rake", such as Langya Wang, Chenjun Xie avoided the four counties of Wu County, Wuxing, Danyang, and Huiji, where the three Wu clans lived, and built the manor in Yongjia and Xin'an counties.
Jiangzuo drought and flood is uncertain, the general homesteaders pay taxes and forced labor and can not withstand the blow of natural disasters, the gate valve manor has become a shelter for bankrupt peasants, as long as the gate valve landlord is not too harsh, the life of these tenant tribes is still relatively stable, at present, the Shi manor is necessary to exist, as for the Shu landlord to replace the gate valve landlord, the contract tenant system to replace the hereditary tribal system, that will not be until the Sui and Tang dynasties, Chen Zhi has no ability, there is no need to promote the current economic system to three hundred years later, what he wants to do is to alleviate the current contradictions between various strata in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, It was for this reason that the Shenggeng Tu Break, which avoided Sun En's rebellion, was held.
Xie An has served as a Taishou in Wuxing County for nearly two years, and has a very clear understanding of the contradictions between the Shishu and the contradictions between the Shi landlords and the yeoman farmers. The special status of communication and entry from the Shu is also valued by Huan Wen, Huan Wen is hoping that Chen ** will marry with the 6 clan, which will break the convention of the three Wu men valve not marrying with the inferior scholars, and it is also an encouragement to the landlords of the Shu clan, Huan Wen to replace the Jin family, must be supported by Jiangzuo Shishu, for a family like Wang Xie Gu 6, he is willing to continue to maintain the status quo, but for some inferior scholars and even the Shu family, there is a chance to break the existing order and advance if the dynasty changes.
Chen ** was born in the Shu clan, although he is now a scholar, but the foundation is still shallow, and Chen ** is determined to marry 6 girls, and Huan Wen can indeed quickly improve his status, but Huan Wen's usurpation is not in the interests of the Xie family, but Xie An did not remind Chen ** of anything, only discussed current affairs with Chen **, and ordered someone to put on the chess table to talk with Chen **'s tea.
Xie An loves Go, and Fan Wang and Jiang Sixuan are on the same list of chess, and in this game, Chen **'s white first layout is full of energy, and Xie An's black chess is very "flowing water does not compete for the first" artistic conception, not hurrying and following behind the white chess, this is Xie An's always style of chess - post-production.
When Chen **zhi and Xie An were playing Go, Xie Daoyun Gong sat quietly watching the chess, looking at Chen **'s handsome and calm appearance, feeling a faint joy in her heart, she can finally meet guests freely like a man, and she can show her talents and ambitions in the court.
Chen **zhi and Xie An played this game of chess for nearly an hour, and Chen **zhi worked hard to be the first, but when he finished the game, he lost a son and a half!
Chen **zhi sighed: "An Shigong really has the chess strength to surrender without a fight. ”
Xie An said with a smile: "Those who are good at defeating the enemy do not fight, and those who are good at fighting do not fight, this is the ** mentioned in the "Thirteen Chapters of Yili", why do you diligently seek to fight?" ”
Chen ** said: "Although the principle is clear, but it is not easy to implement, such as An Shigong's chess strength, you can fight without fighting, win without fighting, and the overall situation is under control, and if the younger generation has low chess strength, if you don't work hard to fight, it is tantamount to being bound." ”
Xie An nodded and said: "A gentleman who has no entry and is not self-satisfied, can be described as a person who is good at dealing with himself." ”
At this time, it was the end of the day, Chen **'s farewell, Xie An ordered Xie Xuan to send Chen ** (mobile phone ^ read ^ read) out of the house, but asked Xie Daoyun: "Ah Yuan, what do you think of Chen **'s ambition?" ”
Xie Daoyun replied: "Tianxingjian gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement. ”
Xie An smiled: "It should also be supplemented by virtue." ”
Xie Daoyun said: "Uncle, don't worry too much about Chen's ** guarding, valuing affection and righteousness, he can't become a hero." ”
Xie An shook his head and smiled, this niece is so smart, she can detect the slightest subtle emotion between her words.
……
In the next few days, Chen **zhi sent two thousand catties of high-grade Gexian tea brought by his fifth brother Chen Chang, four thousand catties of dried fish from Mingsheng Lake Fish Farm, and five hundred horses of refined hemp produced by Chen's Manor to Zhang Ping, Sima Yu, Huan Mi, Xi, Jia Bizhi, Kong Wang, and Wang Xianzhi, and those iron farm tools were in Gu's, Zhang's, Shen Chiqian wrote back to Wu Xing, Wu Kang's uncle, and asked Shen to send someone to Qiantang to order a thousand farm tools from Chen, to manage the goods and trade with Chen, and after agreeing with Gu's pawn, all the tea, dried fish and linen produced by Chen's manor were sold by Gu's shop, and Chen only needed to send the goods to Wu County and Jiaxing, and Gu's money and goods could be obtained from Gu's marketing of Jiangdong Prefectures and trade with Beidi, Gu's three-tenth, as for Chenjiawu's ironware, Chen ** should be left to Chen's own business.
Chen **zhi also sent Gexian tea, high-grade linen cloth and dried fish from Mingsheng Lake to 6 Na, he didn't go himself, and only asked Ran Sheng and Lai Zhen to send it.
Chen Chang brought ten truckloads of goods to Jiankang, and was sent out by Chen ** within three days, feeling very uncomfortable, and saw the Chen mansion under construction on the bank of the Qinhuai River, Chen Chang was even more dissatisfied, Chen Jiawu's square castle has not yet been completed, Chen **, Chen Shang spent millions of money in Jiankang to build a house, Tang Chen has been in debt, Chen Chang feels that Chen Jiawu's industry is his North Building business hard to accumulate money, Chen Shang, Chen ** two people in Beijing but squandered to Jiankang for half a year, the surplus has exceeded one million, which makes Chen Chang feel very unfair.
On the eighth night of the first month of August, Chen Chang saw that Chen Shang and Chen ** had not gone out, so he asked the third brother Chen Shang to go to the sixteenth brother's study to discuss family affairs.
Chen **zhi is copying "The Theory of Ulcer Qi", Shen Chiqian is reading Chen **zhi's "New Interpretation of the Analects" on the side, and when there is something unclear, he asks Ran Sheng in person to read "Taigong Liutao", Xiaochan sits next to Chen **zhi and does needlework.
Chen Chang glanced at Chen **zhi's copy of "The Theory of Ulcer Qi" and said: "Ge Xianweng's disciple Li Shouyi has returned to the Taoist Temple at the beginning of the Treasure Mountain, and I Chen Jiawu have paid 200,000 yuan for Li Daoren to make epidemic prevention pills, but this is all a matter of the official government and the drug superintendent, I don't know why the sixteenth brother wants me Chen Jiawu to bear the pharmaceutical money?" ”
Chen **zhi looked at Chen Shang and Chen Shang said: "Benefiting the villagers is also accumulating virtue and doing good, Qian Tang Chen's expansion of manor and land will inevitably be hated by people, can the fifth brother understand?" ”
Chen Chang had a stomach to say, but at this time he couldn't say it sullenly, the third brother and the sixteenth brother are now officials, and he has no confidence to speak, and he said in his heart: "Let's wait for the sixteenth brother to return to Chenjiawu to talk about this." "Because of the matter of the land seizure, Chen Chang left Qiantang on July 16, when the county had not yet received the Gengxu order, but the eight surnames of Qian Tang and the landlords of the Shu clan with the Liu family basically handed over the hidden households after the Lu family impersonated the scholar registration case the year before last.
Chen **zhi asked about the current situation of the Chu family and the Lu family, Chen Chang smiled and said: "The sixteenth brother is worried a lot, the Lu family has fallen now, the clan is scattered, although the Chu family still has a lot of land, but what can he do if he loses his scholarly status!" ”
Chen's Zhidao: "Lu and Chu Er's hatred is very much for me, although the Chen family has fallen, it can't be guarded against." ”
Chen Chang said: "Feng Fujun is my Chen family, Shiyi is a good Jing slave, and he is a brave and healthy private soldier, if the Lu family and the Chu family still dare to do wrong, they can only seek their own death." He also said: "Third brother, sixteenth brother, I will go back to Qian Tang tomorrow, I wanted to buy some goods in Jiankang that Qian Tang didn't have, so as not to run ten cars empty, and now there will be no money." “
Chen **zhi said with a smile: "There is still some money, please ask the third brother to take out 400,000 yuan from the money and silk for building a house, let Chengcang go to the market to buy goods of 400,000 yuan, and it should not be difficult for Qian Tang to earn one-third of the profit." ”
After Chen Shang, Chen Chang, and Shen Chiqian left, Chen **zhi wandered alone in the small courtyard, and at night, the first quarter moon was already hanging in the west, the autumn night was slightly cold, and the osmanthus was darkly fragrant, Chen **zhi suddenly remembered a few lines of poetry by Huang Zhongze, a Qing person, just like a shining fish suddenly jumping out of the water, and the freeze frame at the moment was very clear-
"A few times the flowers sat down and the was silver, and the red wall looked into the distance. It seems that this star is not for whom the wind and the midnight last night-"
Chan stood under the corridor and said softly: "6 Little Lady's birthday this year is going to pass on the road, I really look forward to the 6 Little Lady's 20th birthday next year to celebrate with Xiao Langjun." ”
Chen **zhi turned his head to look at Xiaochan, Xiaochan's eyes were shining.
After the order was issued to the states and counties, from mid-August, the state prosecutor's office continued to report that the land was cut off, and the counties and counties finally began to read the households.
On 17 August, Qiantang County, Wu County, ordered Feng Mengxiong to report that the county had completed the household registration review, and the county's shishu handed over a total of 113 hidden households, which was the first county to report the completion of the land break since the Gengxu land judgment order was issued. Xie Xuan also suggested that the Wu Xing Shen clan be commended, and the Wu Xing Shen clan handed over 1,300 hermits, which had a great influence and exemplary merit among the three Wu clans-
Shi was very dissatisfied with Wu Xing's Shen family's move, and said coldly: "The soil is broken until the end of the month, so why be too anxious about rewards and punishments." ”
Xie Xuan retreated.
