In the white sunlight, the courtyard was dark green and red, and Deng She stayed at the foot of the steps for a while, unable to guess whether Yao Haogu was sincere or acting.

He especially pointed out the conversation outside the smelting field, Deng She was very confused, he was pressed by Yao Haogu step by step, Deng She had no time to think about it, many words were blurted out, and he had no impression for a long time. He thought about it for a long time, he couldn't figure it out, he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, turned around twice, remembered Hong Jixun, and hurriedly called someone to invite him back.

Back in the hall, unfolding Yao Haogu's strip, Deng She glanced absentmindedly. Accustomed to reading Hong Jixun's books, Yao Haogu's words are not good, full of small letters, and they are better than clear and neat, regular and middle-distance. On the first page, the cooperative's advice to farmers was written in large letters: "The general wants the people to be rich? Want to be rich and rich? ”

Deng She suddenly became interested, and read two lines first, Yao Haogu affirmed it in a few words, and then there were more critical words. Every sentence is like Huang Zhong Da Lu, the words are unexpected, the pros and cons are at both ends, and they are like seeing them in person. Deng She couldn't bear it, and read it almost at a glance, and after reading it, he turned his head and looked at it from the beginning.

Yao Haogu discussed in detail the evolution of the village community system: the Yuan Chengjin system, which was formally determined by Shizu in the sixth year of the Yuan Dynasty. The purpose of the establishment of the society is to persuade agriculture and mulberry, to build water conservancy, to establish righteous warehouses, to run schools, and to improve weathering; At the same time, it also has the tasks of supervising the locality, preventing rape and investigating illegal activities, and recruiting and assigning soldiers.

In other words, the cooperatives organized by Deng She have actually existed for a long time, but compared with this village community system, cooperatives have one more responsibility for circulating goods.

Then, Yao Haogu raised a lot of questions, in the final analysis: Who can be the president? Everyone is selfish, and most of them are of different races, how can the general control them? The president assumes that he is greedy and gathers the strength of the whole company and uses the goods of the whole company to seek his own selfishness, how can the general control it? If you can be the president, you must be the local hero, the richer the strong, and the poorer the social people, once the civil unrest is provoked, how can the general control it?

In order to prove that he is not lying in vain, he next briefly cited the example of the president's possible personal gain.

First, such as persuading farmers to mulberry. Persuading farmers is called persuasion, but it is actually compulsory. The peasant envoy was advised to give the task to the president, and the president gave the task to individual social citizens: how much land was cultivated per household, how much grain was planted, how much mulberry was planted, and so on.

Theoretically speaking, this task should be differentiated according to the number of strong people in each household, but it cannot be ruled out that some families have fewer households but want to cultivate more land, and some families have more households and want to farm less. Because the number of acres of land planted is directly linked to the tax paid after the autumn, there may be a phenomenon that some families farm more but report less, and some families farm less but report more. In this way, the president has the opportunity to cheat and extort money.

Second, such as setting up a righteous warehouse. If the head of each agency makes a cashier without authorization, falsely accuses the name and the truth, and seeks personal gain, how can he do it?

Third, such as Dun weathering. Weathering, that is, wind discipline. If the president has the right to control the public, it is very likely that there will be a situation where he will take over litigation and oppress the public, and the public will not be able to go to the government to report the truth when there is something to do.

And other supervision localities, prevention of rape and investigation of illegal activities, requisition, transfer, and enlistment, etc., are all mixed pros and cons. Yao Haogu did not write down these aspects in detail, and brushed them off.

Deng She read it three times in a row, tasting and considering it repeatedly. He has been in the army since he was a child, and he doesn't know much about the village community, let alone experience it firsthand. He was originally quite proud of the cooperative system he proposed, but only then did he realize that he would finally feel shallow on paper, and he never knew that he would have to do it.

After looking at the cooperative, then look at the * store. There are also many hidden dangers, but two of them have also been raised by Wu Henian. Seeing this, Deng She suddenly thought that most of the drawbacks listed by Yao Haogu were already in the people, and Wu He was old in government affairs, so he should also know, why did he not mention a word about the deliberations that day?

I can't find an answer. In the past, Dun She thought about it at most; Now that he is responsible for the safety of tens of thousands of horses and ten cities, he can't help but be cautious, but he can't help but be suspicious.

Just thinking about it, Hong Jixun arrived. Outside, the sun was poisonous and sweaty, he shook his fan, walked into the hall, looked left and right, and asked, "Is the old man gone?" It's not very sticky, but it's rare. ”

Deng She smiled: "Not only did it not stick, but it gave me a note." "Hand it to Hong Jixun," Mr., come and see, it is worthless to criticize our cooperatives and * stores. ”

Hong Jixun took it, glanced at it slightly, and dropped it casually: "Pretend to be amazing!" The old puppet is hard and soft, do you want to use this to lower our vigilance and soften the general? ”

"Amazing words?" Deng She was puzzled and said, "I think there seems to be something desirable in it. ”

"Desirable?" Hong Jixun was surprised, as if he was surprised by Deng She's attitude, then he came to his senses and laughed, "The general was deceived by that old horseman!" ”

"Oh?"

"May I ask the general, the shortcomings that Yao Haogu has seen, can't Xiao Ke and Wu Tongzhi see it?" Sleepy sent a pillow, Deng Shezheng was suspicious, and listened to Hong Jixun said, "Don't talk about Xiao Ke, even if Wu Tongzhi has been in office for a long time, he must be clear about the pros and cons of the village community, why didn't he mention it at that time?" It's very simple, just because the benefits of the village community are in the early stage, and the disadvantages of the village community are in the later stage. Nowadays, our army is seeking quick treatment, and the village community is just right; As for Jiu'an, it is not too late to improve in the future. ”

Deng She pulled it over, and then looked at it carefully, and it was as Hong Jixun said. The shortcomings of Yao Hao Gulie seem to be shocking, and they are not impossible to cause trouble for several years. He sighed, couldn't help laughing, and said, "If it weren't for Mr. Hong, he would have almost eaten the evil deeds of Mr. Yao." ”

"The general is concerned about chaos." Hong Jixun said with a smile, "And you see, general, the old man is full of thousands of words, but he only lists hidden dangers, but does not write about solutions, what is his meaning?" It is nothing more than the heart of the general who is chaotic, and maybe, he is still looking forward to the general going to inquire in person. As soon as the general went to ask, his passivity turned into an initiative. At that time, the old puppet made a gesture, and the question should have meaning. ”

Deng She didn't expect this section, if this was the case, Yao Haogu's scheming was also a little deeper, but listening to the few words after he left, it seemed to be sincere. Deng She shook his head, he was inexperienced in intrigues, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

"The general asked Xiao Ke to come back, is this just for this?"

These words reminded Deng She, and immediately told the words of Yao Haogu Smelter, trying their best to recall, and the two of them analyzed for a long time, but they couldn't find the flaw. Hong Jixun's fan was closed, and his decisive and arrogant temperament was shown, and he said: "The words have been said, the matter has passed, and the general does not have to worry too much." He has a good plan, and I have a wall ladder. As long as the war in Pyongyang goes well, we will reduce it with one force. Whatever he comes, he is not afraid. ”

That's all there is to it.

The matter is put down. Yao Haogulai interrupted the military discussion, and the capture of Pyongyang was only discussed, and the specific details were not discussed. Since Hong Jixun returned, he hung out the map, and the two continued to discuss.

Grain, grass, baggage, weapons, routes, and military horses were all arranged, and everything was arranged, and it was impossible to do it in seven or eight days. It is better to go steady than in a hurry, Deng She decided to relax for two days, and after ten days, he officially set out on the expedition. Send fast horses, rush to various places, inform Chen Hu, Zhao Guo, Zhang Gang and others to return to the city, this battle will be a tough battle, Zhao Guo, Zhang Gang such fierce generals stay to defend the city, it is useless.

The sunlight in the hall receded inch by inch, and the light gradually dimmed, and there was some planning until twilight fell. Bi Qianniu tiptoed into the hall, he had been here a few times, Deng She saw it in his eyes, knew that he had something, at this time he stopped talking, stretched his waist, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Kikuzaburo came back and waited outside the hall for a long time. Seeing the general discussing the military aircraft, he did not dare to disturb. ”

The situation is changing, and the formation of a naval army is no longer as important as the capture of Pyongyang, and Deng She has no interest in Ju Saburo for the time being, and casually asks: "How many people did he bring back?" ”

"Five ships, more than thirty people."

"The weapons were confiscated and put into the camp for supervision. …… Don't lock up with Fujimitsuhide, and be careful not to let them breathe with each other. Deng She thought for a while and added, "Don't treat yourself badly in terms of diet, if you are disobedient and make trouble, you will be beaten." ”

"Yes." Bi Qianniu respectfully agreed, but did not leave, and said, "Thousands of households from the mainland also came to ask for a meeting." "Lu Qianwu is here? Dunshe's spirits perked up, and it must have something to do with the mines, and said, "Call him in." ”

Following Lu Lu's footsteps, Lu Qianwu came, followed by two soldiers, carrying a wooden box. He didn't care about the courtesy, and instructed the soldiers to carefully put the box on the ground, and then bowed down and said, "I've seen the general." ”

"Hurry up." Deng She thought that Lu Qianwu was blocking his vision, turned his head sideways to look at the box, and asked, "Is there a mine in that box?" ”

"The villain was fortunate to live up to his life and made three kinds. After testing,...... Lu Qianwu paused and said, "Unsatisfactory, unsatisfactory." ”

Deng She bypassed the desk, pulled Hong Jixun, and turned to the wooden box, and the soldier opened the lid, and took advantage of the cotton cloth inside, and put three round dun guys. One of stone, one of iron, and a large jar.

As for landmines, Rao is Hong Jixun has seen a lot of things, and he has never heard of them, so he was also very interested and asked: "This is a landmine?" He squatted down and touched the handle of the fan slightly, and the stone turned over, revealing a coiled lead.

Lu Qianwu introduced: "This stone is actually used by General Wen when he hit the mountain pass. The gunpowder is hidden in it, and the lead is outside, and it needs to be ordered before it can be used. However, inspired by the general, the villain hid dozens of small stones in this big stone and plugged the muzzle of the cannon with a large stone projectile. When it explodes, the scope of the impact is much larger, and the power is also increased a lot. ”

Deng She couldn't wait and said, "Put it out and try it in the yard." Looking up, there were patrolling soldiers in the courtyard, and called Zuo Che'er, "Quick, go and clean up the yard, no one is allowed to stay." "For the sake of secrecy," no one is allowed to look at it. ”

Lu Qianwu took matters into his own hands, carried the box out with the soldiers, took out the stone one, and found a flat place to put it down from a distance. Pulling open the lead, it was half a meter long, he took out the flint, and before lighting it, he didn't forget to say to Deng She: "Please stand far away again." ”

He was an expert, Deng She had no objections, and retreated a few meters with Hong Jixun and others. Lu Qianwu drew the flint, lit the fuse, turned around and ran. The lead was doped with gunpowder, crackling, and soon burned to the end, and Deng She held his breath, only to hear a bang.

The gunpowder exploded the stone balls, and dozens of small stone balls burst out and shot into a large tree nearby, several inches deep. Some of them exploded high, and even broke the slanted branches.

Hong Jixun was shocked to the point that his ears rumbled, came back to his senses, and applauded: "Such power, although it is inferior to artillery, it can also be stronger than firecrackers." It's a little bigger, and it can be smaller, and it would be nice if a single person could hold it. Facing the enemy in battle, throwing the enemy array, it is of great use. ”

Lu Qianwu smiled bitterly and said, "This is already the smallest. No matter how small it is, it can't fill up enough gunpowder, it has no power, it has no power. ”

This stone shell was more of a simple shell than a mine, and Dunsher intended to make up for the lack of artillery. Hong Jixun said that throwing into the enemy line is exactly what he wants; Big is a little bigger, one person can't hold it, you can use a small trebuchet to cast. He nodded and said, "Let's try the iron one again." ”

Unlike stone bullets, iron ones do not need to be ignited by a human and are purely automatic. When a human foot hooks the rope or steps on the steel wheel, the steel wheel moves, and the friction flint strikes a spark, causing the fuse to ignite and detonate the mine.

Lu Qianwu moved the iron mine, dug a pit and put it away. He could not send someone to step on it, so he was prepared, and brought a dog, led it with a rope, and a few soldiers fired arrows to drive it to the mine. The dog rushed and ran straight five or six times before he stepped on the mine.

After learning the lesson of the explosion just now, Hong Jixun hurriedly covered his ears, but saw that the mine did not move at all and did not react. The dog clipped its tail, barked twice, and ran aside. Lu Qianwu said embarrassedly: "The steel wheel has to rotate continuously, and you need to step on it several times before you can start the fire." ”

In this way, the dog stepped on it dozens of times in a row, and the dog was tired, and the mine still did not move at all. Lu Qianwu sweated on his head and explained, "The dog is too thin and has no weight. Afraid that Deng She couldn't wait, he proposed, "Why don't you go and find a pig?" Pigs are heavier than dogs, and pigs are heavier than dogs. He has a habit of saying the last sentence twice in a row.

Deng She laughed, comforted him, and said, "It's okay, wait a little longer." Before the words could be spoken, the dog stepped on it again, and with a bang, it finally detonated. Iron pieces were like rain, all the arrows on the ground were destroyed, the smoke of gunpowder dissipated, and several people looked at it, and the nearest dog was blown to pieces, and its fur fell to the ground.

Hong Jixun was dumbfounded: "This real artifact is also!" Suppose it is placed on the enemy's march, or outside our military camp, there are thousands of such things, which can block a hundred thousand troops. He asked, "I don't know, what is the use of this last jar?" ”

Deng She also wondered, what he said at the beginning was very simple, just asked Lu Qianwu if he could bury the gunpowder in the ground and make it explode if he could be stepped on by people. The use of steel wheels and flint to ignite fires is the credit of Lu Qianwu. Deng She admired his ingenuity, could it be that he drew inferences from one another and made another invention?

Lu Qianwu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I'm ashamed, I can't call it a strange use, it's just an altar version of an iron mine." ”

It turned out that the smelter was not producing enough iron every day, so Lu Qianwu thought, can it not be made of iron, but replaced by other utensils? When I thought about it, I thought of the jar. He said: "Put gunpowder in the altar, fill the mouth of the jar with earth, leave a small eye and bury it in the ground, and pile up stones and other things on it. There are also self-committed steel wheels. The villain tried, and the power was slightly inferior to that of iron, but it was not bad,...... Not bad either. ”

Hong Jixun knew that the two were the same, so he didn't have to try again, he said: "From Xiaoke's point of view, this thing is very powerful, why does Lu Qianhu say that it is not satisfactory?" ”

Deng She knew the reason, smiled and asked Lu Qianwu to answer, giving him a chance to perform. Lu Qianwu said: "There is too much gunpowder. Sir, you see, in that stone bullet, no less than a pound and a half of gunpowder was stuffed; The amount of gunpowder used in this iron mine and jar was comparable, if not more. Our army is short of gunpowder, and the cost of this single mine, which can be fired several times with a firearm, does not outweigh the losses, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Deng She said: "Having said that, we still have to do something." You don't need too much, just make ten each. "The attack on Pyongyang is imminent, and it is just right to take it to the battlefield and test the effect.

Lu Qianwu received the order.

It was getting late, and Deng She left him and Hong Jixun to have dinner in the house. Lu Qianwu said that the smelting was too slow, he was also in charge of the construction of weapons, and he was in a hurry, so he vaguely asked if the iron for Tong Doulan could be reduced. Deng She categorically denied it, the promise he had made could not be changed, it was a matter of great importance to win over the Jurchens, and it was even more worth fighting Pyongyang, and he also hoped that he could recruit more Jurchens to serve in the army, and he would rather have less himself than call them up for advice. Because of the night fastop, they dispersed early and went home.

His own maid came to clean up the dishes. Deng She got up and was about to go back to the pavilion, and when he saw Yao Haogu's note on the case, he couldn't help but smile after looking at it twice, and he didn't know if it was Yao Haogu or himself who was laughing. After all, the disadvantages of the needle are justified and well-founded, and they are three points into the wood, and they are reluctant to abandon it, and it is a pity to lose it, so they still picked it up and stuffed it into their sleeves.

As soon as his fingers entered his sleeve, he touched a soft object, and remembered that it was given to him by Mrs. Wang before leaving, and after a busy day, he forgot to go out of the clouds. This Mrs. Wang, before leaving, left him a trouble, and was grabbed by Yao Haogu.

He angrily threw out the thing, but it was a few inches of pink silk, slippery in his hand, and a dark fragrance swirled around the end of his nose, unfolded, and wrapped in a sachet. Deng Sheleng was stunned for a moment, no one had ever given him such things, and it was expected that she hadn't gone out for the past two days, just to sew this thing.

He looked at the thin silk again, saw that the ink on it was as light as a plum, and wrote: "Respect the general's foot, the slave is a good family, and the young inherit the training." Listening to the words of the matchmaker and entering the Wang family, how do you know that there are still people in the world like generals? The ink was blurry, apparently soaked with tears.

Thinking about the red candle in the distance, Mrs. Wang lifted the pen several times, put it down several times, and hated the karma and creation, and it was too late to meet. Now when we part, the world is full of fires, wars are endless, I am afraid that there will be no chance to meet again, what else is there to say?

"Heavenly evil? Evil? Take a look at you, and there is no time behind. What is the end of the day? Goodbye, I don't know what time it is! Only the daylilies are waiting for the joy of dreams. Checkmate! Weeping at parting, the slave no longer knows what to do. Alack! Who is Song Yuan, I hope for it. That's it! From the east of Bo, the first is like a flying canopy. Deng Lang! Deng Lang! Thousands of treasures, thousands of treasures. Deng She knew that the daylily was the forgetfulness grass, but he was at a loss for the two lines of poetry quoted by Mrs. Wang.

Looking down further, there is a line of small words: "The silk of the book, the profane clothes of the slaves." The sachet of Fengjun is cut from the bandeau of the slave. The slave body is far away, and the slave god is here. ”

1. Set up a school.

When the Yuan Dynasty established a society, it ordered each society to establish a school. It is jointly managed by the Dasi Nong and the Confucian Promotion Division, and the teachers are recommended by the people, and the economic resources are mainly from the people. It is a public-private partnership.

"Choose those who know the scriptures as teachers, and let their children go to school during the time and months of the agricultural period. Read the "Book of Filial Piety" and "Primary School" first, and then "University", "Treatise", "Meng", "Jing" and "History", so as to achieve the enlightenment of agricultural and mulberry knowledge and make it "everyone knows filial piety and loyalty, and the end of the book""...... The purpose of investigating the body and enriching the family and moving the good away from the crime", so as to alleviate the * and class contradictions and stabilize the social order.

Under the circumstances, it was not possible to establish every social school, but there were quite a few of them. In the twenty-fifth year of the reign of Shizu, it reached more than 24,400. However, the conditions of social schools are very simple, and the teachers are "mostly people who can read and write...... and can only impart some very rudimentary knowledge.

This system was reaffirmed in the reign of Sejong Daedeok (1300). Some areas are still implementing the social science system, such as Xiayi, Henan Province, during the Tianli period, "established more than 500 townships and social studies", and most areas of social science were "abandoned". However, sociology is closely related to the village schools that were widely established later.

Although the essence of the social education system of the Yuan Dynasty was to maintain the feudal rule of the Yuan Dynasty, because it did not limit the learning objects, the children of all township members could be enrolled, which to a large extent provided the opportunity for the children of the general poor to receive education, marking the beginning of primary education in China for the whole people.
