Chapter 85: The Baron
Yao Ran, sitting on the ground and letting it, Hua Tuo took his four women to be busy behind him, and occasionally when he didn't know who was wiping his wounds, he made Yao Ran, who wanted to die or live, grinning his teeth. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
But in his mouth, he still told everyone about the family's title system,
"Our titles are divided into: duke, marquis, uncle, son, and male. That is, corresponding to dukes, marquises, counts, viscounts and barons. Yao Ran paused and took a breath, looking at the people who were all sitting on the ground. Obviously, everyone in front of him was paying more attention to Yao Ran's injury, of course Yao Ran didn't want to let what he said be taken as a deaf ear, seeing Yao Huo, Xiao Ping's eyes still intersected with him, so Yao Ran nodded after locking his eyes on the two. Continued,
"I got this whip because you thought you would have everything when you had a knighthood? Actually, no, because the process of obtaining your knighthood first requires you to work diligently and keep to yourself. First of all, there are two ways to obtain a title, one is that the patriarch or family elder proposes a candidate. The knighthood is approved by more than two-thirds of the people. Voters recommend once a year, that is, every 24 moons, and after the recommendation is counted, they will be examined for two months. The person under investigation is not at fault within that time period in order to receive the knighthood. Got it? β
Yao Ran's first sentence undoubtedly attracted many people's eyes and ears, but the description behind it was too professional, and many people couldn't understand it, even Yao Huo and Xiaoping were thinking carefully about what Yao Ran said.
And Hua Tuo, who is closely related to the title system and his livelihood, although he was treated after Yao Ran's death. But he is also close to the water, listen to it really, of course Hua Tuo is very smart, otherwise his medical skills would not have progressed so quickly, but his intelligence is used in medical skills, and most of the other things that Yao Ran said are not taken to heart, but today is different.
Hua Tuo listened to Yao Ran's words behind Yao Ran, and indeed understood a lot, but he also had questions, standing behind Yao Ran and asking, "Patriarch, do you mean that it takes twenty-four months before you can elect this title?" And you have to be recommended by someone like a family elder to get this opportunity. Then after the nods of these elders, no, there will be two months of viewing time, and if you violate the family rules during this time, you will not get this title. β
Yao Ran turned sideways in some surprise, looked back at Hua Tuo, and then said loudly: "That's right! Hua Tuo said that the title is a high-threshold honorary title, I just said one of them, and the other way to obtain the title is the subscription and redemption system. The crowd was still confused.
And this time Hua Tuo didn't understand, what does 'redemption' mean? After Yao Ran looked around the crowd, he continued to speak.
"It is to exchange and trade the bamboo sticks (bamboo money) you get. Hand in your bamboo sticks to the family. Then you can get a knighthood. Of course, it's very expensive."
What does it mean to be expensive? Of course, Wei Jin knew what this meant, and he had listened to the professional vocabulary for almost a long time yesterday, and he had learned a lot of knowledge. But as for how to buy the title, Wei Jin does not know. Of course, Wei Jin cares more about how expensive it needs to be in exchange for such an honorary title.
"Subscribe to the knighthood, only those who are above the civilian status can do it, and there is no record of breaking the law and committing crimes within 5 years." This is Yao Huo who spoke: "Is five years the day of one hundred and twenty moons?" Yao Ran nodded. Yao Huo continued to ask, "Since it is the identity of a civilian, does it mean that there is still an identity of a civilian?" Yao Ran nodded again and then said:
"In order to encourage the promotion of increased productivity and to uphold the importance of the family first law. We divide the people on our territory into. A person who identifies as a basic three-person person. Among them, ranked from low to high, the lowest is of course the slaves, who have nothing but the right to personal health, what is the right to personal health, that is, to be fed and clothed, and to be shown when they are sick. But all the wealth they created was handed over to the family, and the slave overseers were also rewarded for the work done. β
After saying this, Yao Bone was the first to nod and understood what Yao Ran meant. "People are divided into three classes, and the lowest class is slaves, do I eat meat and drink soup?" The whispered question attracted Yao Ran's attention.
Yao Ran took over and said: "That's right, the lowest level is the slave class, if the slave commits a crime, the owner of the slave has no right to execute, that is, to kill the slave, killing the slave is the same as killing the same clan, it is to be judged, if the crime is convicted, the family will be executed." β
Yao Ran looked at everyone's reactions, a new level that has just appeared, everyone doesn't know about it, and they don't know how to manage it, of course, what Yao Ran said is what. But in the real primitive society, no one goes back to manage the life and death of slaves, but what Yao Ran wants is labor, and killing at will with personal preferences is not the social state that Yao Ran wants.
Yao Ran saw that there was no objection from everyone and continued, "The rank above the slave is the rank of the commoner, the commoner enjoys all the benefits of our family, can vote and be elected, can get paid for work, can apply to the family to buy land, if you don't want to work for the family, you can also hunt, plant, and gather by yourself. Then enter the hall we have set up to trade what you get, in exchange for bamboo sticks or what you need. β
Everyone fell into thought, and although Yao Ran had a fleshy back, because he was now doing something unprecedented before, he was so excited that he had already forgotten the pain on his back. At this time, Yao Tudan, a person who doesn't like to talk much, boldly asked, "Can you not work for the family?" β
Yao Ran looked at the clansman who looked very honest and replied: "Of course you can, as a commoner, you are free, if you don't like the work you are engaged in, and feel that the bamboo sticks you get and the lunch you eat are not as much as you earn by working alone, of course you can find a way to make money by yourself." β
"The advantage of working for the family is that the tools can be used for free, the three meals are provided by the family, and the bamboo sticks can also be obtained, but they will make a certain amount of this according to the current prices, after all, the family of making tools also has to give people bamboo sticks, as well as fish, firewood, pottery pots, and salt from the sun, these things are not falling from the sky, but are exchanged for the hard work of our people."
"As a commoner family, the best way to accumulate is of course to work for the family, because you can not only get bamboo sticks, but also have three meals to eat, and you don't have to go home to make your own fire and cook. Of course, in the future, there may be a reduction in the corresponding benefits according to the different jobs, for example, some jobs are only half a day, then of course there will not be three meals for everyone, maybe only two meals or one meal. β
Yao Ran's words directly subverted the idea of everyone, especially the people of the Yao family in Gaoshan, it turned out that they could also get bamboo sticks in this way, and they could also make some skins and sell them in exchange for bamboo sticks, and then use bamboo sticks to buy other things.
Seeing everyone's stunned expressions, Yao Ran was very satisfied, and what he wanted was to say endlessly: "So there are many ways to earn bamboo sticks, and you don't have to work in the family team." For example, hunting, or for example, Hua Tuo can see people and then collect bamboo sticks from the sick. Of course, you can also see me in the family, of course, the family also collects bamboo sticks, or grows their own, in a few months we will have crops that can be suitable for planting, I will reward a group of people to plant crops for me, and then, when the harvest is over, I will come out with bamboo sticks to redeem. There are also tools that can be polished and sold to those who need them. You can even catch fish and sell it at home, or you can make your own clay pot, of course, someone has to be willing to buy it. β
Everyone was stunned to listen to Yao Ran say these things, and a thin man beside Yao Hemu said, "Patriarch, what is a farming thing?" Is it fruit? Eat? β
Yao Ran looked at the thin man with interest, smiled and said: "Yao Guozi, I heard that you love to eat fruits, you are right, fruits are also a kind of crops, but the crops I am talking about can be cooked and eaten, can be cooked and eaten, or ground and eaten in other ways." The main thing is that this crop can be stored for a long time. There is no problem with saving for a few years. β
After Yao Huo heard this, he folded his fingers and counted it, and then inadvertently looked up and saw that Xiaoping was also looking at him with a shocked face, if there was a kind of food that could be kept for a few years, wouldn't it mean that he would never have to starve again!
Of course, most of Yao Ran's attention was focused on his two proud protΓ©gΓ©s. Seeing their expressions, Yao Ran was very satisfied, because they thought more long-term. Only those with a long-term vision can go further and make decisions that are more conducive to development.
Yao Ran smiled and continued to speak: "Bamboo skewers are actually general equivalents, now everyone uses a one-step fish to measure the value of a bamboo skewer, but in the future, we may use other things." Yao Ran's sentence seems to be teaching students, this sentence may not be understood by most people, but Wei Jin, Yao Huo, and Xiaoping all understand Yao Ran's meaning, especially Wei Jin, who is sensitive to transaction logic is different from ordinary people. Wei Jin should have guessed what Yao Ran would use as a measure of bamboo sticks in the future.
"So the acquisition of the title can also be obtained, you hand in the bamboo sticks to obtain, how many bamboo sticks do you use?
We use twice the per capita income of the whole clan to obtain it, which means that if you don't have special contributions, it is difficult to get a knighthood with your own income alone, but if you have a large number of people in your family, and calculate the savings of using your bamboo sticks, it is possible to give birth to a baron in your family. Of course, this person is a law-abiding person, a person who is dedicated to the public, and who abides by the first laws of the family. β
