The two old men looked at each other, and they didn't expect that the famous Pingyang Hou Cao would shout such a simple slogan, this slogan is not like the Confucian scholars shouting about self-cultivation and Qi family governing the country and leveling the world, unlike the Huang Lao school that likes to talk about governing a big country if cooking Xiaoxian, unlike the Legalists who like to say that the sage Gou can strengthen the country and do not follow the law, and Gou can benefit the people without following his etiquette.

On the contrary, it is a bit similar to the peasant family with the lowest status and voice among the hundred princes, accompanied by the crops in the field all day long, and the peasant family hides in the corner every time there is a big debate between the various factions, and the group of people does not know anything about the policy of governing the country and the country, and the words and expressions are all those trivial things in the field, which makes many ambitious scholars look down on them, and the group of peasant children honestly and silently like a group of old farmers.

Could it be that Cao was a farmer?

No way!

The two of them shook their heads at the same time, the ambitions of the peasant family are few and there are few ideals, Shaofu Cao Shi is by no means such a person, his every word and every deed has a strong personal color, and he constantly tosses things in the Wuwei system and tries to be a promising minister, his actions are regarded as deviant by the Huang Lao School, Wei Juan has spoken out several times to obstruct, and there is no doubt that both the mud and the small doubts represent the dissatisfaction of the Huang Lao School.

Such a young and promising Jiuqing would never be an honest farmer, at least the two of them didn't believe it.

The chubby old man looked puzzled, pacing back and forth and shaking his head: "Shaofu's sentence is very difficult to understand, I can't understand what he means." ”

"It is not difficult to understand, in other words, the people are rich."

"The people are rich? It seems to be very consistent with the concept of a rich people and a strong country in "Monetary Theory". The chubby old man suddenly realized.

Eating meat was the power of the aristocratic and rich. Many of the poor people have never touched meat in their lives, even if the first emperor issued an order to gallop the mountains and rivers before his death, the people can make a living like the mountains and forests cutting firewood and hunting down the river to fish and pearls. The poor people also eat meat several times a year, and because they are reluctant to eat it, they prefer to sell the game they have hunted, or kill the chickens and ducks to entertain guests from afar.

Let the people eat meat contains a simple political concept, born from the theory of the people's wealth and national strength, and more popular than the lofty theory, ordinary people do not understand the tirade, they only recognize that eating to eat is the most affordable. Every household has meat to eat than what governs the country, and the Shang monarch's change of law is hundreds of millions of times more useful.

The chubby old man was very shocked in his heart, and he found his thoughts and worked hard to implement them. To the small is also the unity of knowledge and action, words and deeds, compared to the hundreds of officials and ministers in the DPRK and China, most of them are confused officials, keep in mind that Xiao Gui Cao Sui's customization is afraid of exceeding half a step, as long as the country and the society remain constant and do not deteriorate. They were very satisfied.

The old fritters who have been officials for decades do not have this awareness. There are more mediocre people who dare not make a difference in the two thousand stone high-ranking officials who are on the political side, this is the gap in the concept and the gap in the realm, and once again saw the magic of Cao Shi, the two old men even suspected that he was the reincarnation of the gods.

I don't dare to continue to think about it, and if I continue to think about it, I will only come to a very nonsense conclusion, which is not necessarily a good thing for my career and the imperial court exhibition.

The fat old man sighed and cheered up: "Very good slogan! A simple sentence represents the idea of governing the people of a parent official, and I have decided to make this sentence my governing philosophy and strive to implement it. ”

"I think so too."

The two old men looked at each other and smiled, not caring about the amount of grain stored in the corn. Brandishing a coarse cloth robe with short sleeves, he continued to walk.

Zheng Lao's forehead was full of confusion, and he couldn't figure out what the two of them were doing in shock. One moment the mouth that was shocked can be stuffed with an egg, and the next moment he put on an expression of knowing that he understands me and walks away with a smile.

The composition of the Luli in Nanzhuang is the same as that in Chang'an City, the inner and outer two inner doors are blocked by two high walls, the difference is that there is no arrangement for the untouchables to live between the two walls, the high lords live on the right hand side of the inner door, and the commoners live on the left hand side on the opposite side, the walls on both sides separate the residential areas, and the passage in the middle leads to the five granaries in the center of the village, as well as the small arsenal where weapons are stored in the village.

Due to the large number of poisonous insects and beasts in the wild, so the Han law allows the people to carry short soldiers to protect themselves, the arsenal is to go home and unload the weapons at designated storage warehouses, the Beijing division Chang'an and Luoyang have the world's famous large arsenals, and the county governance of the counties below also has medium-sized arsenals, and then each county has a small arsenal, to the Luli level there is a minimum arsenal, and even the palace and the palace of the three princes and nine kings also have their own arsenals.

Since the ancient tribal system to the lower people have the country and the wilderness, the people who live in Lu are called the countrymen, and the people who live outside the Lu are called savages, and the Han system also inherits the foundation of the national system and the whole people are soldiers, which store the swords, bows and arrows and other weapons of each villager, and when they need to be used, they will open the arsenal and divide the weapons, and they can arm hundreds of people in a moment.

When the highest-level Chang'an and Luoyang arsenals are opened, they store strong crossbows including rhubarb crossbows, chariots, halberds, Changge, axes, spears and other long weapons, only the combat effectiveness of the weapons in the army's array will be highlighted, and the system of locking the arsenal when it is needed to pass the tiger charm and then open it ensures the stability of the army and the easy pressure of local rebellions. This system has protected the Han Empire for 60 years.

The door of the arsenal was locked, and the two old men didn't plan to go in and stick their heads out, and they didn't need to look to guess that there were some ordinary ordnance inside, not to mention that there were no strategic materials such as crossbow chariots, even armor and shields could not be there, nothing more than gadgets such as swords and bows, which could hurt people's lives but could not mess with the township, and it was almost impossible to act under the strict control system of the township.

There are also rangers and heroes who dare to act indiscriminately, but it is obviously impossible to exist in Guanzhong.

Bypassing the arsenal is the central area of Luli, which is separated by residential areas on both sides of the wall, and there is a small square in the middle, surrounded by several rows of houses that are busy.

At this time, it happened to be the agricultural slack after the autumn harvest, and all the men in the village went to work on the construction site of the racecourse. The old and weak women and children gathered together to spin and weave cloth, weave wicker and bamboo baskets, and knead hemp rope and twine. From baskets, hats, baskets and boxes to fishing nets and rods, everything from daily necessities can be found there.

In the early Han Dynasty, the handicraft industry was very strong, many farmers chose to do something to make a small amount of money in the slack season, and some people who were unwilling to plough the fields simply became pure handicraftsmen.

In a broad sense, agriculture, animal husbandry, fishery, mining, and smelting all belong to the cargo colonists. In a narrow sense, the specific occupation refers only to the people engaged in the handicraft industry, and the miners who dig and dig the stone by hard work are not counted, and the laborers who pull the fiber rope and carry the big bag are not counted. Only craftsmen engaged in technology-related industries are considered to be narrowly defined as colonists.

The Han court was very worried about the increasing number of handicraft merchants, and then the merchants who joined forces with merchants engaged in commerce would corrupt the traditional folk customs of farming, so that the people would give up farming and be satisfied with more profitable industries rather than arable land, so the emperor repeatedly issued edicts to persuade farmers to mulberry. Heavy agriculture and suppression of business suppressed the emerging business atmosphere.

The crackdown is slow. The effect is not particularly ideal, the peasants will still make extra money in the slack time, the law cannot stop the people's impulse to aspire to a better life, as long as their actions are not illegal, only a few edicts to persuade the peasants to do so will not work.

"Hey, the thread spun in your Zhuangzi is very special, why is the color colorful? Can such silk be sold? ”

The chubby old man stared at a row of spinning wheels, and according to reason, the silk silk was white as the best quality. It is necessary to carefully select when breeding silkworms, and kick out all those silkworms that are not in the right color. Not to mention that the colorful silk can not be used, even the white silk with a certain limit of color difference can not be used, and the silk silk with a heavy color difference is an inferior product, which can be sold for 5oo money a horse, and the color difference can only be sold for 2oo money at most.

The little woman spinning the thread was immediately unhappy: "How can the two elders talk? The colorful silk in our village has been praised by the prince himself, as long as our colorful silk is pure in color and luster and there is no poor quality to kill which is cuò, how many horses will be collected by the Hou Mansion to weave out how many horses, the price will be collected according to the market price is silk silk, you say that our silk silk can be sold! ”

"But it's not, our Zhuang since last year out of a colorful silk, the prince promised Nanzhuang's brocade priority purchase right, the color difference is large color brocade marquis Mansion also collected, but the price to be discounted, the prince said that the color almost doesn't matter, with a little less dye can still dye the pure color silk."

"The two of you don't seem to know the skills of our princes, and the worthless colored silk is dyed in the Hou Mansion to become a good silk and sold out, and it is said that the nobles in the palace are also using the silk of our Hou Mansion!"

A few little women chattered and chattered, and the two old men thought it was very interesting and stood still to look carefully, although they were chatting nonsense, they had never let go of the spinning in their hands, the little spinning wheel was whirring like a rolling wheel, and a few little dolls from three or four to six or seven years old sat on small stools to help with the lead, and there were kung fu to play with small toys.

"It's a good idea to make colored silk, but if it can be promoted to Neishi County, I don't know how many people can live, and it's really inconvenient to dye white silk again." The two old men agreed.

The reason why the price of silk silk is high is that the chain of silkworm breeding and silk reeling textile is too long, the whole process consumes a lot of time, and the manpower and material resources invested are very much, and the secondary reason is that it is very troublesome to cultivate excellent pure white raw silk, and it is too difficult for small families to raise silkworms to make extra money, and it is too difficult to produce qualified raw silk is equivalent to playing in vain, and it is worthless to spin raw silk and weave cloth and silk no matter how hard it is, and the farmers who invested a lot of energy and financial resources in the early stage have no return.

From raw silk, brocade to the sale of silk and silk silk supply and marketing system to form a huge industrial chain, but also requires a very high selection and cultivation technology to guide the high threshold to block the footsteps of small farmers, with the meager family of the common people to play a lot of energy breeding is impossible, so raw silk and silk silk is monopolized by rich people, these rich people include powerful landlords, including relatives and bureaucrats, but also including princes and princes, of course, the emperor's Shaofu Huangzhuang is undoubtedly the largest textile industry oligarchs.

"Break the ice, let the people get the benefits of farming, and at the same time ensure that the order of farming is not chaotic, Pingyang Hou gave me a huge enlightenment!" The tall and thin old man grinned.

The chubby old man said excitedly: "Brother Ding is right! I want to vigorously promote it in the seventy-five counties of Neishi County, not only to promote the technique of drawing water from the waterwheel, but also to promote the technique of colorful silk weaving. ”

The thin and tall old man immediately understood his hint, and nodded with a smile: "You can rest assured about this, the dyeing workshop in the capital is worried that there are not enough raw materials to start dyeing cloth, and the color difference of colored silk is always easier to print and dye than white silk." ”

"Come and see, everyone! These two little old men are stupid. ”

A few little women giggled, and the two old men looked up and laughed stupidly for a while, and boasted to themselves for a while, as if they were the three princes and nine kings in the temple, attracting onlookers and laughter.

The two old men didn't care, shook their heads and walked out, bumped into Yuan Chong head-on and said: "I don't know if the big farmer order and the internal history are out on patrol, I'm really sorry for the disappointment, I just went to inform the prince, presumably it won't be long before someone from the Hou Mansion will come to greet the two." ”

"Don't bother Pingyang Hou to rest, the two of us are just idle and have nothing to do to come here to go around, today's harvest is quite fruitful and we are about to leave, when the two of us hear the good news from the Marquis, we will visit in person another day."

The two boarded the four-horse carriage waiting outside the village, and walked away under the stunned gaze of the men, women and children in Nanzhuang, and it didn't take long for the figure of the carriage to gradually disappear at the end of the field of vision.

Zheng Lao rubbed his eyes and hesitated: "Could it be that the old man is dazzled, those two little old men just now are big officials in the imperial court?" ”

Yuan Chong lamented that it was a step too late after all, and when he saw that the villagers were still staying, he said: "You read that right, that is Shangqing of the middle two thousand stones, the thin and tall old man is the big farmer Ling Ding Wuke, and the short and fat old man is Shi Huanxian of Younei, they are the ones I invited from Chang'an City to learn the art of enriching the people of the Hou Mansion, you didn't say anything in front of those two, right?" ”

"Mr. Yuan is amazing! Even Shangqing can be invited over, the old man has not said anything that should not be said, and there is nothing unsightly in our Zhuangzi, the villagers say yes? ”

As soon as Zheng Lao greeted, the people of Nanzhuang immediately followed and shouted, as for the big girl and little daughter-in-law in Zhuangzi who laughed at people's stupidity, they must not have said anything about the jokes made by the villagers.

"Oops! The two Shangqing have already gone back, and I have to go back to inform the prince, hoping that the prince did not rush over and run in vain. ”

Yuan Chong turned over his horse and hurried back to the Hou Mansion. (To be continued!)
