Chapter 278 [Qindi Thunder Beginning] First Update

PS: I didn't fall asleep until more than two o'clock, so I just got up and coded the word, and the code was more than four o'clock, and I actually got a chapter, so I can go to sleep more easily

This is the first update of the day. The head is groggy, and it came up first, if there is a typo, everyone is more considerate, and I will revise it when I wake up

The rainy season in the valley is approaching, the Guanzhong Plain ushered in the most vibrant moment of the year, the field that has been warmed for half a year seems to be reborn overnight, the breath of spring is born through the soil, the feet are soft when stepping on it, you can not reach the face of the feet if you are not careful, the stinky field is now the smell of the earth, grab a mouthful and stuff it into the mouth, as if it can resist the grain.

This is all thanks to Bai Zuo's implementation of the 'public plow', even if there are no cattle at home, two or three laborers can turn over ten acres of land in a day, and the ploughing is deep and fine, which is simply a good treasure for the farmer's money.

This thing has the name of a public loser, but the old Qin people know that it has more to do with the magical Bai Zuo, good people, foreign countries say that our old Qin people can't read, and Bai Zuo even runs a college; Lao Qin's ploughing cattle are few, so people come up with this kind of good thing, thinking that we croppers, such a good nobleman should be famous in the world.

Nowadays, rich families will either buy or build one, and it doesn't matter if they don't have money, the official family will distribute it to the farmers before the rain, and the family can get two pieces of it, and it can be rotated in a few days. With this thing, as long as God is not blind, bless us with good weather in the coming year, and if we pay the national grain in the coming year, we will be the king of freedom, and the grain can still be accumulated in the warehouse until the beginning of the year!

With such a reputation, the promotion speed of the public transport plough is far beyond imagination. Especially this round of preparation before the rain in the valley. Now even the half-farming and half-farming Dongyiqu people use it. Lao Qin is even more popular throughout the country, needless to say in the rented fields of the emerging landlord class, there will be no shortage of this advanced agricultural tool on the remaining well fields, at this time the old pheasant is looking at a brand-new public plow, obviously eager in his heart, but he just can't raise his strength.

"Master, the lord has sent a new plow, let's start plowing too? This year there is this thing. Our family can also eat chestnut rice porridge and carved hu rice during the Chinese New Year! ”

The half-grown man next to the old pheasant looked at the plough and his eyes lit up, and he felt that his palms were itching, but the master didn't speak, and no one dared to do it, but there were rules in the field.

"Don't plow!"

"Ye" This is the name of the Yongyi area, whether the father is called the father or not, the grandfather.

"What's it called? Cheap! The master said that if you don't plow, you won't plow. The two boys are foolish, even if they have good farm tools, what's the use? What about the wind and rain? Our family has a hard life, and we have become a slave with no surname and no name, and the master's family has stripped off a layer. If you peel off another layer in the clan, how much will be left in our hands? It's just exhaustion. It's still a life that doesn't have enough to eat! ”

"Master, in previous years, too"

"Previous years are previous years, I heard from your Uncle Tugou, the old gentleman is gone last year, and now the new monarch is in power. The first thing is to abolish the well field and release this field to our farmers, or to rent the land for the first time. ”

"You can eat a full stomach during the New Year, master, is there really such a day?"

The New Year should have eaten and drunk well, and later generations felt that it was not enough to eat dumplings, and they had to eat big fish and meat, but for these slaves, the food obtained after a hard year could be supported until the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it would be good to have a famine in winter, so in the autumn they had to peel the bark and save the grass roots, and the stomach was full of indigestion gas until the New Year, and farting was like setting off firecrackers. The two boys have never been born within a radius of five miles, and have been slaves for more than ten years, and they have heard that they can eat all-you-can-eat in the New Year, and they are all like dreams, in fact, even the old pheasant has only recently heard what people said, Wei Ying issued an order to the world, and the first thing is to transmit the news of the abolition of Jingtian to Yongyi and other places, which is the base camp of the old aristocratic slave owners, and the most slaves.

Lao Shan's cock clattered his mouth, and his eyes were also infinitely fascinating: "Why not, if you farm and rent land, you can eat your stomach"

The Zhou system is still based on the slave system, in the world to choose the closest to the water source, the most fertile land, to the tic-tac-toe divided into nine pieces, the middle one is for the king's field, the king is sealed in the princes of the countries, the princes of the countries are sealed in the Qing doctor, the Qing doctor rewards and scholars, the first level of the reward down, the middle of the grain is to be handed over to the Zhou royal family at the first level, the remaining eight pieces, by the 'lord' to urge the slaves to cultivate, in addition to ensuring the survival of the slaves, all the grain is owned by the lord.

In the early Warring States period, the Zhou royal family had already existed in name only, and naturally no one would hand over the royal grain, and the well field simply became the private property of the princes and doctors, and the grain collected in the middle of the field belonged to the kings of the countries and was named 'Juntian', like the three families of Meng Xibai belonged to the Qing doctors, and they used the way of exploiting slaves to occupy the output of the remaining eight pieces of land.

How does this work? Qin Xiangong Yinglian is an understanding person, found that if the well field system is not abolished, it will form the result that the monarch has no grain but the doctor cannot eat the grain, and he will have to become the Zhou royal family sooner or later, so he forcibly took back part of the well field and implemented the initial lease of He, but at that time, the Qin State was initially decided, the foundation was still unstable, and he had to plan to use troops against Hexi, or to appease some strong old aristocratic groups, so he did not collect it cleanly, and left a mess for his son Yingquliang.

Now these old aristocrats have intensified their efforts, not only concealing the output of 'Juntian', but also secretly buying rented land, driving slaves to farm, and when they encounter officials coming to collect the initial rent, they insist on calling the black horse a white horse, pointing to these rented fields and saying that they are well fields; can only do it without knowing it, so Wei Ying's reform method wants to completely abolish the well field system, so that there is no need to spend effort to clarify the well field and rent the field, and these old nobles can no longer find excuses.

Don't look at the old pheasant as an illiterate slave, who has been digging in the soil for half his life, and the cat in it ~ is not clear to him; However, as the slaves of the Meng family, if Jing Tian is not abolished one day, the Meng family will be able to use the Zhou system as a reason to resist the government and continue to own their slaves.

"Master, then we won't plow?"

"How can you explain to the master's family if you don't plow, the master who will be whipped to death is just talking angry, hey, let's plow!"

The two sons pulled the plowshare, the old pheasant held the plow, the family of three began to plough the land, just walked two steps, then heard a thunder from the sky, the bean-sized raindrops hit the head, just now there was a big sun, how is it a blink of an eye is dark clouds, thunder and lightning? The old pheasant hurriedly beckoned his two sons to stop, and the family of three ran to the old village. The slaves of this era did not have to be confined by slave owners like in the Xia and Shang eras, but they did not have a complete personality in law, but they could live in the village on their own, as long as they did not go out of the lord's land, and they were not in wartime, and the difference from free farmers was not very big.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, the old pheasant dragged his two sons to run for his life, seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the village, through the rain and fog, he faintly saw that there were many people squatting or standing in the center of the village, and the rain was so heavy, but he didn't know to hide in the house.

Isn't this all crazy? The old pheasant was wondering, and suddenly a sharp flash flashed in the air, illuminating countless human faces, and seeing that the two people standing in the crowd did not look like villagers, not only were they born white and pure, but their clothes were also neatly dressed, and they wore wooden crowns on their heads

"It's from the official family! Could it be that this method has finally changed to us? ”

The old pheasant was suddenly excited, they have still seen the people of the official family, last time there were people in such costumes who came to the village to publicize the law, saying that they wanted to abolish the well field, but they were driven out by the people of the main family wielding a sword, I thought that I would never be able to look forward to them anymore, I couldn't think of it

"Old village chief, you can wait until you come back."

The official family who spoke was beautiful like a big girl, with white and clean skin, a smile on her face and two dimples, and the old pheasant was dizzy for a while: "The official family"

"Don't call me an official, I am a person sent by the Zuo Shu Chief's Mansion, the Zuo Shu Chang implements the law, the first is to abolish the well field, and now most of the well fields in Lao Qin's country have become rented fields, that is, you have not changed here. I have heard that the old village chief is the most prestigious person in the nearby villages, and I ask you to inform the villages for me and let the villagers go to the fields together. ”

"Now?"

The old pheasant pointed to the cloudy sky: "Official, last time, some people said that they wanted to change the law and divide the fields for us, but it turned out to alarm the main family and was beaten back by Shengsheng." You're not afraid? ”

The beautiful official family smiled and squeezed his eyes: "I'm not afraid, the old village chief can rest assured." (To be continued......)
