Chapter 124: Those People, Those Years (5)

"On the tenth day of July, the county held a meeting and conveyed the plan of the Planning and Statistics Department, starting next year, Xia County will reduce the cultivation of hemp, leaving only the number of acres used to rub ropes, fire ropes, and sacks. Do you have to wear cotton cloth in the future after the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info? ”

"On October 13, an order was issued that next year the three cities of Xia, Wei and E would attack Xirong and levy a special grain tax. Everyone handed it over, because last year's plundering of the Beidi people made everyone's work much easier, and it would be better if there were more people. The control order has also been issued, and women who are officials are not allowed to marry or have children this year. I'm going to talk to women about having children. ”

"On November 20, a special conscription order, five men from each of them, was to be responsible for delivering food next year, encouraging women to take up the tasks that men do. Fortunately, it's not a person who is in charge of the individual, there are five people in one mile, and there are always others to help do things, and those Beidi people can be regarded as supplementing the manpower, but it is not okay to let them transport food, who knows if they will run away. ”

"December 19, the soldiers of Yucheng came, the young man from three years ago now has much stronger arms and shoulders, and Lei Huowei is also here, what the hell are you bringing? The fourth elder of the Li family carried a long-pole brush full of wool and a stamped note to my warehouse to pick up a few barrels of vinegar, which was a special conscription order...... Tomorrow, the supply and marketing department will tell the people of Xiadong County that there is no vinegar to sell this year. ”

"On December 23, there are still women who go with the army? A woman in the medical class, carrying a small wooden box and a leather bag. Special order in wartime, kill geese and take feathers. Hey, let's kill. Special wartime decrees, liquor control, maple sugar munitions control, dried meat and dried fish munitions control...... Each family was given five catties of noodles, not to eat, to be fried in lard and salt as military rations, and must be handed over before the twenty-seventh, and I have to divide the matter at night. ”

"April 18, 40th year of the Chinese calendar, headache! The Beidi woman gave birth to a baby, and her father is a Chinese, what is the matter with this child? Ris asks me, who am I going to ask? Is this kid a countryman? Report it to the county, there will be one more rule in the future! Blind sleep! Blind Husheng! ”

"On May 20, the county replied that it needed to be reported to Yucheng, and what the child was needed to be determined by the above. Wait, it's not a trivial matter. On the day of the holiday, a messenger brought news that the army had gathered on the Acropolis and was heading up the river, and that the various tribes of the Xijon people were also preparing to fight to the death. This time the leader is Wei He, Ji Bai is the deputy general, Lei Huowei and Yu Linwei and the black-clothed guard have gone to some people, and the riders of Yangguan have also gone a lot, compared to Yulinwei, these riders in Yangguan have similar riding skills, but they are not neat at all, they have been fighting with the grassland departments for so long, and the grassland departments have also learned to use stirrups, but they are not copper and iron. ”

"On June 18, a ship came from Yucheng, and Lian also came, and she wanted to set up a dyeing and spinning department here, mainly to teach women to spin cotton thread and weave cotton cloth, which was great. A boatload of cotton cloth, some carpentry, and some new spinning wheels and looms, I couldn't understand the difference. There is also a new rule that comes with the ship, and all children whose father is a Chinese will have the status of a Chinese citizen. As for Chinese women, I'm afraid they won't go to those who only have three or two acres of land, since there is no one, there is no need to have rules. ”

"On the third day of the seventh month, the messenger sent news of a great victory over Sijon. Thousands were captured, the leader of Xijon was killed in the array, and some of the Xijon people did not dare to go south when they went north. There aren't many casualties, which is a good thing. It's best to come back by mid-August, with autumn planting and dredging of the canals soon. Li Da's fourth brother has made the first contribution, and I have to tell Li Da the news. ”

"On August 15, the moon is full. The day before yesterday, they got married, and the main marriage was the county guard. Sleeping separately, Lian said that she can't have children this year and next year, she has to be busy with dyeing and spinning and weaving and spinning threads, and she can take a year off after giving birth to a baby, but she has to go to the nursing home to see the child, and she doesn't want to go for the time being. I thought about it, but I can understand that if I give birth to a child, I don't want to give birth, and if I give birth, I am afraid that I will not be able to control Xia Dong's farming affairs. I can't sleep while guarding women, I'm going to go to the grass river to wash, and my heart is dry. ”

"The first day of September, a good thing. The person from the medical department told Lian that as long as she did that kind of thing three days before and three days after the coming month, it should not be easy to get pregnant. Who told them? But she and I both wanted it to be true, and it was true. There are still seven or eight days, ahhhh ”

"On the eighth day of the ninth month, I could have slept with Lian at night, but I received an order from the county guard and went to the county overnight to prepare for the soldiers returning from the great victory and the captured Xirong people. On the boat, there is also Li Da, his younger brother has made great achievements, he, who is the elder brother, is going to greet him, he finally has his own child, and the previous child is his woman's, not his. After asking, the three young men who were farmers were doing a good job, and they should be able to manage a hundred and ten households to farm elsewhere. Now there are too many people to manage, and too little to manage. I've probably guessed what Ji Xia is going to do...... Now if you throw me into a city, I should be able to manage the farming of a city of thousands of people with all my might, and one of the three children will be left to replace my former farmer, and the rest will come with me. A Xia Dong has three sets of peasant officials who can manage Xia Dong, and the others are the same. It looks like there's going to be a real war. Li Da kept saying next to me that his son was like him or something, I guess isn't that nonsense? He said that his son must be smart when he grows up, maybe like his three uncles, he can learn very well, and it is best to go to the military class, which is the best place to earn meritorious service. It seems that everyone wants to fight. ”

"On the seventh day of the first month of the forty-first year of the Chinese calendar, the National People's Congress. I was able to participate and went to a lot of people. Ji Xia said that if you want to farm and work in peace and stability, it is best not to fight, but what if someone else comes to fight us? Everyone shouted that of course it was to fight back. Ji Xia asked again, if everyone abides by the rules, maybe they don't have to fight, whose rules do they follow? Of course, they followed our rules. ”

"January 13, the secret meeting. The city opposite Yucheng, Ling must be the most suitable to become the leader, seven or eight people help him govern that half of the city, is there another one who can't do it? He follows our rules, and of course he won't fight us. Ji Xia said that if the world wants to be stable, it can only be set by one city and one rule, which I think makes sense. ”

"On January 14, I heard that Su Yue might not keep his oath. Then fight, my three deputies have been looking forward to fighting for a long time, this is needless to say, only if you beat them may not be deputies, otherwise as long as I am in them, they will always be deputies. If you really fight, I want to fight, I said when I studied before, if you want to be stable in the world, there can only be one rule, and everyone will do things according to this rule, and there will be no grudges between relatives. It's excellent to fight if you don't follow the rules and fight until you follow the rules. ”

"January 15, the secret meeting. Be prepared for war, and once Su Yue does not obey the rules, he will start a war, fully control it, and win the war. ”

"January 16, Secret Meeting. Distribute weapons, once the fight is too long, ten people will be sent out in a mile. The army has been mobilized, and all ten-day holidays have been canceled. ”

"January 17, the Secret Meeting. Ji Xia talked about what he wanted to do in the future, and I was the lowest official among these people attending the meeting, and Ji Xia asked me if I could manage the farming affairs of a city? I thought about it for a moment and told Ji Xia that if I had enough peasants, I could take care of it. ”

"January 18, Secret Meeting. I made a proposal to cut back next year's planting, and the Planning and Statistics Department asked me how many acres of land I could plant if there were 50 households in one mile and only 30 households left. It's not a problem, it's hard to get ......"

"On the third day of the third month of March, the Pregnancy Festival. Good news, Su Yue admits that Ling, as the leader of the city, can't fight! The control has been fully relaxed, and it is time to seize the time to cultivate. ”

The content of the record came to an abrupt end here, Shi Quan looked at the words on it and was stunned, and unconsciously the woman who had been foaming with each other for a long time brought a cup of water called tea from the south bank of the river, which was a little bitter but delicious, and it was popular to drink this thing now.

The reason why it is only recorded here is because the front and back of this scroll are full, and he has not picked up a few more volumes.

After that, the story finally started in a certain year. The fight was so sudden that the woman behind Shi Quan had a child during the war, and she had no choice but to go to a nursing home to take care of the children in order to free up more women to do farming.

As for the thoughts of everyone at that time, the result was nothing more than that at the National Assembly, everyone wanted to fight in a hurry. Because the National Assembly is no longer a mess of tens of thousands of Chinese people, but can participate in the National People's Congress...... For example, those small peasant officials are looking forward to changing from peasant officials who are in charge of one or two miles to agricultural officials after the fight, but in such a small place in Xia Kingdom, how many people can be agricultural officials?

Of course, this was the idea of the peasant officials under Shi Quan, who was well known as a peasant official at the time, and other people such as the law and the workshop also thought similarly. They no longer want to manage fifty or sixty people, they think they can manage five or six hundred, but there is no faster way than to fight.

That was all in the past, Shi Quan looked at everything he wrote back then with a more mature eye than at the beginning, although there were some green memories, and he also saw all kinds of things that he couldn't understand clearly. If it weren't for the fact that so many officials who seemed to be useless or even redundant at that time were raised in various aspects back then, I am afraid that what happened later would not be so easy, who would care about the defeat?

At that time, Shiquan's eyes were used to see what those years were going through, that is, the most ordinary peasants. Planting, servitude, harvesting, payment of grain, transportation with the army, the spread of new tools, and the children of countrymen and newcomers are counted as countrymen. And looking at it with the eyes of this time, it is preparing for war from the beginning, and even preparing for winning the war. If you lose, why do you need so many officials to eat? Where are so many people in charge?

On this not-so-heavy scribbled scroll, many of the names that had appeared disappeared. Some of them are because they are dead, and some of them are difficult to see again with Shi Quan from a peasant official to a peasant official.

For example, the one who was lazy and whipped at the beginning, Shi Quan couldn't remember the other party's appearance when he looked at it again, and he didn't even know what the other party's surname was now.

Another example is Li Da, the person who Shi Quan found a way to mobilize Xia Dong to be the lisi, this will not be forgotten, because he also has three younger brothers, two of whom are common people today, but as the eldest brother, Li Da has been difficult to see since the ink on the roll of paper disappeared.

At this time, seeing these names that have been around for a long time, it is inevitable that he will be a little embarrassed, looking at the names that he was familiar with when he was a farmer and are now unfamiliar, Shi Quan shook his head with a smile, closed the roll of paper, and put it in the wooden box.
