Chapter 264: Oil and Water
Only when you have a high status will others be influenced by you.
If you want to express what you want to change, you have to find the right time to make a claim.
Otherwise, it will have no effect except for scolding.
Moreover, there are very practical reasons for the low status of women in ancient times.
That is, men join the army, they have to go to the battlefield, there are frequent conflicts in the border areas, and almost all the battles are uninterrupted.
How vast is the frontier of Daqi?
The border is very long.
To the west and to the north, it is bordered by alien tribes that grew up on horseback.
To the south, there are the Southern Barbarian States.
To the east is by the sea, and there are also many pirates.
And as long as there is a war, there will definitely be casualties, and all the men will die.
Dozens of casualties were killed in small battles, hundreds, nearly 1,000 people, casualties were few but uninterrupted, and the number of sergeants killed in the battle was also quite a lot over time.
And if a large-scale battle breaks out, it is possible to lose hundreds of thousands of people in one battle!
Of course, every time a major battle breaks out, there will be calm for several years.
The sergeants were all men, and there were often casualties, so that the number of women far outnumbered the number of men.
Then there was a man who could marry three wives and four concubines.
In addition, men defend the family and the country, and they are also the pillars and main laborers in the family, so their status will naturally be higher than that of women.
In Jiang Long's previous life, the world paid attention to equality between men and women, but after coming here, he also had to pay attention to the real status quo of this world.
Otherwise, if you speak and make ideas indiscriminately, and the ratio of men and women is unbalanced, will the extra women not marry for the rest of their lives?
Wealthy families, officials, hairpins, and landlords and merchants, as long as there is money left in the family, basically men will take a few concubines.
In addition, although there are many casualties among men on the battlefield, the number of boys is higher than that of girls in this era, so it is unlikely that men will not be able to marry wives, or girls will not be able to marry.
If we really want equality between men and women, we must first solve the problem of war.
Jiang Long naturally would not support Pan Wenchang, and did not post such an example.
Now that everything is on track, Jiang Long and the others are much more relaxed than they were at the beginning.
After talking for a while, Jiang Long left and walked to the backyard of the county government and asked Qin Yu to take the chili pepper to the kitchen.
When Dai Lisi learned that Jiang Long was back, she dressed up and dressed up, and then greeted her, Jiang Long came back early today, and saw that Dai Lisi's eyebrows and eyes were full of spring, and her eyes were bright, and after dinner, she hugged Dai Lisi and entered the bedroom.
With the passage of time, the river digging project in Lingtong County has been progressing smoothly, and Pang Chengan, the county guard of Wangshacheng, was a little surprised.
Faintly a little uneasy.
Could it be that the Jing family kid can really turn wasteland into a granary?
Pang Chengan shook his head again, how is this possible?
Although he didn't deliberately investigate, he still heard some news.
Lingtong County digging rivers and cultivating fields is the most lively thing in the whole Xianzhou today, and the streets and alleys in Wangsha City are also discussed.
On this day, in the morning, Pang Chengan couldn't sit still, so he recruited his henchman, Peng Xi, the director of Gongcao, and asked him to take a few fast officials to Lingtong County to see how much Lingtong County has changed, and whether there is any possibility of success in the project of digging rivers and cultivating fields.
Peng Xi should be and withdrew.
Then he picked six officials who were quite handy on weekdays, and rode straight to Lingtong County.
On horseback, Peng Xi smiled.
Wei Yong is one of the officials, he is middle-aged, his body is very majestic, he is familiar with Peng Xi, so if there is something puzzled, he asked directly, "Master Peng, how cool and comfortable is it to stay in the city on this hot day?"
Why is it that the adults are still so happy to take such a hard time to run back and forth? ”
The sun was high, the weather was very hot, riding a horse, and rushing to Lingtong County under the scorching red sun, it was indeed tiring and hot.
Peng Xi's forehead was already covered with beads of sweat, but he was in a good mood, "What do you know?" ”
first pursed his lips, and then continued: "Today's Lingtong County is no longer a place where birds don't back then, and before Jingjianglong took office, the official was naturally lazy to run to Lingtong County." ”
Since Jianglong came to Lingtong County, it can be said that the entire county has changed every day.
"Now Lingtong County, business is prosperous, as far as the official knows, many big families in Wangsha City have come to buy shops and restaurants, planning to do business here for a long time, the position of the huge people is high, many things can only be faintly heard a rumor, the official is to know the details of the road."
Another official named Hu Bao, with a thin body and a very clever mind, his eyes rolled when he heard the words, "Then when I go to Lingtong County this time, won't there be a lot of oil and water to fish?" ”
Hearing that they can get a lot of oil and water, all the officials are bright-eyed.
Peng Xi also smiled, "That's natural, although Lingtong County is developing rapidly, but if the official intervenes to obstruct it......" Speaking of the most reluctant, Peng Xi let out a malicious hehe laugh, as long as he went to Pang Chengan to say a few words, it would have a great impact on Lingtong County.
With this alone, it is enough to coerce the officials of Lingtong County.
"Then how much benefit do we want from this trip?" Zhou Jun asked bluntly.
Obviously, they haven't done anything less like this before.
Hu Bao continued: "Master Peng has worked hard and made great achievements, so naturally he has taken the big head, and a little water from Lord Peng's fingers is enough for a few of our brothers to support their families." ”
"This trip to Lingtong County, we do want to make a lot of money, but we don't want silver." Peng Xi narrowed his eyes slightly, and his pupils flashed with a shrewd and calculating light.
Wei Yong was puzzled, "I don't want silver, what do you want?" ”
Peng Xixiao treacherously, "The whole city of Lingtong County is rebuilt, not only all the houses are newly built, but also the shops next to the street will all be demolished and rebuilt. ”
The six officials were overjoyed when they heard this.
Although Peng Xi collected a lot of information about Lingtong County, he arrived in the afternoon and arrived in the evening, and was still surprised by the changes in Lingtong County.
Riding a horse, came to the front of the city wall of Lingtong County, Peng Xi jumped off the horse, stroked the cement surface of the city wall with his hand, very smooth, he praised softly, the last time he came to Lingtong County, he did not check carefully, only thought that Jingjianglong was messing around, and now I know that the city wall is smeared with a layer of cement, which can strengthen a lot.
And it's so smooth, there's nowhere to borrow strength, and it's impossible to climb the city wall with bare hands.
It is no wonder that it can withstand the attack of more than a thousand alien armies.
At the end of the last war, Peng Xi had been here, but he knew that Pang Chengan didn't like Jiang Long, and he was afraid that Jiang Long would ask for credit, so he came in a hurry and left in a hurry.
When the sergeant guarding the city saw them, he saw that Peng Xi was wearing an official robe, and did not step forward, so he looked around and asked.
There were always people who knew Peng Xi or the six officials, so the soldiers guarding the city did not come to interrogate.
Peng Xi led six people through the city gate smoothly.
"Sizzle! What a wide street! Walking out of the gloomy city gate, Peng Xi's eyes suddenly lit up.
The street is ten feet wide.
There are many small stalls on both sides of the street, which are very lively, and there are many merchants walking through the streets and alleys, constantly drinking and selling.
"Master Peng, this, there is actually cement on the ground!" Another officer, Zhao Ping, exclaimed.
The voice is relatively loud, attracting the attention of many people, but the newcomers to Lingtong County will be so babbling, and the people have seen too much, so it is not a matter of fact.
It's just that in my heart, I'm quite proud.
I am proud to be a native of Lingtong County.
Peng Xi saw many people looking over, and couldn't help glaring at Zhao Ping.
Zhao Ping shrunk his neck in fright.
It was indeed a bit embarrassing to exclaim in a loud voice before, attracting the attention of the people.
Although he glared at Zhao Ping, in fact, Peng Xi was also very surprised, and actually paved the entire street with cement!
Oh my God, how much money does this Lingtong County have?
It's such a big deal!
There are also such wide streets, which are far more than Wangsha City.
The group held the reins and walked slowly down the street, constantly looking left and right.
The eyes of the six officials were full of envy, these houses were built so beautifully, and they were all built with brick walls.
Although they are tolerances, in addition to the monthly case, there are some gray incomes, but because of their low status, they have to go up and down, so their own residence is not dilapidated, but it is also average.
In Wangsha City, it is already very good to have a house of your own in the city.
Peng Xi was still only amazed, his mansion was naturally much larger and more delicate than these brick houses, there was no need to blush, he only knew that there was a renovation in Lingtong County, but he didn't want to rebuild it so beautifully.
actually let so many people live in new houses.
Several people came all the way to the post station in Lingtong County.
Peng Xi is an official, and this visit to Lingtong County is not a day or two to return, and the trip has to live in a post station, even if Wangsha City is not far from here.
A few people washed up at the post station, and without eating, they walked out again.
"Master Peng, let's go to the county office?" Hu Bao stepped forward, looking a little excited.
Lingtong County has changed too much, and it must be very rich, otherwise the county seat would not be able to be rebuilt so brand new and beautiful.
Wei Yong, Zhao Ping, and the other three officials also couldn't wait.
But Peng Xi shook his head gently, Jiang Long's life history is now known to everyone.
It's not that easy to handle!
I was stunned in the past, and I wanted to coerce me not to suffer anymore.
"You follow this officer!" Peng Xi looked around, and according to his previous memories, he thought about the general direction of going to the house, and walked slowly.
At the time of a pillar of incense, everyone stopped in front of a house.
Peng Xi bowed, and Wei Yong immediately stepped forward and knocked on the door.
At this moment, a figure not far away suddenly turned over and trotted away.
After a while, He Dao, the head of the county ya's soap class, hurried to the county ya.
Hearing that He Dao had something to see, Jiang Long came in.
He Dao has also taken on an errand for a while, he is very busy and tired every day, and the whole person has lost a circle, but the power in his hands has also increased greatly when he has something to do, so he will not complain, and his spirit is very good.
"My lord, Lord Peng Xipeng, the head of Wangsha City Gongcao, just came to the county seat with six officials, but he didn't go straight to the county government after settling down at the post station, but he went to the mansion of Master Pan for the first time." He Dao came in to report.
