Chen Yun, Ma Jun, and Ma Qi went to Zheng County to play, but before they arrived in the city, they heard a strange singing voice in the wild. Chen Xun followed the sound and saw that the singer was a few farmers, so he immediately asked. When the peasants saw the man in the long robe, they did not dare to slack off, bowed down, and said, "It's not a song, it's a poem." ”

Chen Yun said, oh, what kind of poem is this, but I have never heard it. The peasant told him that the county Taizun was the brother of the Taiwei, and it was said that one day he had a banquet with the Taiwei, and when it came to the sage woman, it was the Taiwei who wrote this poem. A few days ago, Taizun went to the countryside to inspect the agricultural situation, and talked about this poem with the villagers, we heard it next to us, remembered it, and then accompanied it with a small tune of the country, and the song was used to relieve fatigue.

It was Hongfu who was the world's literary leader, and his poems were famous all over the world, so when the three of them heard that it was his new work, they couldn't help but be very interested, so they stood on the edge of the ridge and asked the peasants to recite it throughout. The peasants said that if they really want to memorize it, we may not be able to memorize it smoothly, but it is more convenient to sing it. Chen Yun nodded and said "yes", and then asked: "What is the name of his poem?" ”

"Mulan's resignation."

The county magistrate of Zheng County was just appointed at the beginning of this year, and his surname is the name Jun, and he is the younger brother of Hongfu. After receiving the order, he went to the Taiwei Mansion to resign, it was Hongfu who set up a banquet to entertain, the two brothers held wine glasses, and chatted nonsense all over the world, and they didn't know how to say it, but they actually talked to the woman.

It is Zigao's point of view, women are not knowledgeable, and they have no courage - anyway, our brothers and sons, the strong sisters-in-law are not around, so I will boldly say it - so whether it is up or at home, it should be managed by men, which is a matter of course. It was Hongsuke who shook his head again and again: "Women are certainly different from men, but they should not be underestimated. In the cone of the sac, it has to be removed. If not. Mao Sui is also a mortal. Today, women are dedicated to raising children and running the house. He who does not use it does not show his ears. "Nowadays, women are not as good as men, because they are not given the opportunity to learn and play, not because they are born with inferior talents, so they can only nest at home, and you can't reverse the order of cause and effect.

So for example, Zhong Lichun assisted Qi and dominated, and Ti Ying wrote to save his father. Zhaojun is close to each other, and now there is a Cai Zhaoji, who is more knowledgeable than her husband, how can it be said that all women are talentless and brave? Besides, women are good...... Well, no one knows about her these days...... Xun Guanniang...... Haven't you been born yet......

The history is so short (compared to 5,000 years, of course) that there are not many examples to mention. So Hongsuke borrowed the wine and said casually: "I heard that there were women in the army for their fathers in the previous generation, and there are poems as proof......"

directly copied "Mulan Ci", of course, it is inevitable to make some small changes to the specific words-

"Chirp and chirp, Mulan is a household weaver. I don't hear the sound of the machine. But I heard the woman sigh. Ask the woman what she thinks, and ask the woman what she remembers. The woman didn't think about it. The woman has no memory. Last night, I saw the county post, the imperial court ordered soldiers, and the military book was twelve volumes, and the scrolls had the father's name. Father has no eldest son, and Mulan has no eldest brother. I am willing to be a saddle horse for the city, and from now on I will fight for my father......

"When I leave my parents, I stay by the Yellow River at dusk, and I don't hear my parents calling my daughter, but I hear the splashing of the Yellow River. When I left the Yellow River, I went to the head of the Black Mountain at dusk, and I didn't hear the sound of my parents calling my daughter, but I heard the chirping of Hu Qi in Yanshan......

"Come back to see the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven sits in the Ming Hall. Twelve turns, rewards hundreds of strong. The Supreme asks what he wants, Mulan doesn't need Shang Shulang; I am willing to travel thousands of miles and send my son back to his hometown. When the parents heard that their daughter was coming, they came out to help Guo Xiang; When my sister heard that her sister was coming, she took care of her red makeup. When my brother heard that my sister was coming, she sharpened her knife and ...... to the pigs and sheep

"When I went out to see my companions, my companions were all busy: I had been with them for 12 years, and I didn't know that Mulan was a girl. The feet of the male rabbit are fluttering, and the eyes of the female rabbit are blurred; Twin rabbits walk on the ground, can Ann tell that I am male and female? ”

It was Jun Xiang who took pleasure in collecting and sorting out his brother's poems, and he was so happy to hear it that he quickly copied it down. It was Hongsuke who hurriedly said that it was not written by me, it was just a folk song, and I just modified it slightly. It's Jun who said that if you have repaired it, it is yours, such as the national style of poetry, all folk songs, can you still find the original author? Of course, it must be under the name of the official of the Zhou Chamber.

Goye, you haven't written a poem for a long time, and finally there is such a poem, which sounds pretty good to me, so don't leave it aside and excuse it. Will anyone dare to jump out and compete with you for copyright?

It's Hongfu pondering, anyway, I've copied more poems and texts in my life, and since I'm already a thief, why pretend to be Sven anymore? Perhaps whatever is mine is mine—immediately pray to the heavens, hoping that the time when the "Khan" and the "Son of Heaven" can intertextualize will never come.

Immediately Jun came to Zheng County to take office, checked the household registration of the fields, and sure enough, the chaos was subsided, many people were scattered, and the large households took the opportunity to annex the land, but they could not find tenants, resulting in a large area of ridges and acres of abandonment. He has also served several county magistrates in various places, and it is Hongfu who promised that if this Zheng county magistrate is acceptable, he can be recommended as the 2,000-stone guard. Therefore, the current situation is not conducive to the plan, and it must be improved.

It is the means adopted by Jun, and it is also secretly taught by his brother, one hand is soft, and the name of renting official forests, workshops and other industries is used to attract local clans, and second-hand is hard, and strictly implements the "Land Restriction Order" issued by the imperial court, for example, each household shall not exceed ten hectares of land, and the excess will be purchased by force. A large amount of official land was obtained, and the application was transferred to the Kanto Retail Households and displaced people to come to Mintun.

In the Wei system, the counties and counties were appointed by the imperial court to control the local government, and at the same time, the intensity of the work of guarding and ordering was also reduced. Therefore, Jun spent most of his energy on persuading and helping farmers, and patrolled the townships in three days and took care of agricultural affairs.

Everywhere he went, he summoned the three elders in the township to have a banquet to contact his feelings, and took advantage of the fact that he bragged about his brother's ability and the depth of his relationship with himself, and he recited Hongfu's poems and texts to serve as guests at every turn. It was in this context that "Mulan Ci" was widely disseminated because of its simple rhetoric and popular language.

So even the peasants who occasionally sat in the audience would recite it and sing it together. At that moment, several farmers sang the whole article in unison, Chen Yun and the other three nodded again and again, and Ma Jun quickly took out a pen and paper and copied it directly. After the three of them discussed, this story is the first time I've heard of it, when and where is this Mulan girl?

Ma Boyong's words are conclusive: "The people who must go to the court are also." Why? You see, the poem mentions "county", and the emergence of county was first seen in the early Warring States period; But there is also "Shang Shulang" in the poem, which is a position only in the Eastern Han Dynasty. As for Mulan's place of origin. Probably north of the Yangtze River - "An has recruited southern soldiers to defend the northern Hu Zheye?" ”

Ma Jun felt that what Ma Qi said was very reasonable. But he was stuttered. He easily refused to speak, so he just nodded his head next to him.

However, Chen Zifu shook his head: "If I think about it, I am also the person of the time." "Even if it was the previous dynasty, it was probably the Jian'an period, and it was not far from the present. What is the reason - "Before Huan Ling, there were people who were not righteous scholars, but they were awarded Shangshulang for their military merits?" ”

But the most important reason is: "Is there really a woman who can be dressed as a soldier?" Is it true that there are twelve years and his companions are not aware of it? It is a fable, but it is not true. "That's a story. Do you really want to figure out what dynasty and generation they are, where and where they are doing? Does it make sense?

The three of them talked about it, and soon walked into the county seat - naturally they had to check the passage in front of the city gate, that is, the passage documents, and by the way, they asked the guards about the direction of the market. Zheng County is the upper county, but the county seat is not big, the three of them entered from the north gate, Zheng City is in the south of the city, leisurely walking, it has passed the morning meal, it is inevitable that the stomach is hungry. Ma Boyong couldn't help complaining. You had to stop and listen to the peasants singing, but you missed your meal. What if I don't have anything to eat?

The city in the city in this year is generally divided into three markets, namely the morning market, the evening market, and the big market. The main people who sell goods in the market are big merchants, most of them are sitting merchants, and they have their own shops, even if they are merchants, most of them are rented to sell in other people's shops; The evening market is mainly attributed to small traders who "sell at dawn and evening", and there is no fixed store, so they can only set up stalls on the street; The time of the big market is between the morning market and the evening market, that is, at noon and midday, and farmers or small handicraftsmen around the city can use this time to sell vegetables and fruits, surplus grain, surplus cloth, and so on. There are restaurants in the city, but according to the habit, they are opened twice a day, which means that if you miss the hour, you will not have anything to eat – not only do you not have a restaurant that is open 24 hours a day, but you can't even keep your business open from 9 to 5.

Ma Qi complained because of this, Chen Yuxin said that you will shirk your responsibility, just now I heard the farmer sing "Mulan Ci", didn't you also listen to it very happily? I also bothered to find out when and where Mulan was, and now I blamed us. But after all, the other party is the patriarch of the Ma clan and the son of the head of the Ma clan village, Chen Zi is inevitably inconvenient to fight-for-tat, so he smiled and said: "Stay in the big market, or have food." ”

The big market is not just a farmer from outside the city who sells his goods in the city, but also residents in the city who make small snacks to earn pocket money - to put it bluntly, the people who sell goods in the big market are not serious businessmen, but unlicensed civilians.

So he quickened his pace and hurried to the front of the city, but he saw a few pieces of paper pasted on the doorpost - in the era when paper was not yet popular, the official family had a warning, all the bookplates were standing on wood, and after the popularization of paper, the cost was much lower. Ma Jun stepped forward to take a look, the wanted criminal didn't need to look at it much, but when he saw one of them, he couldn't help but be quite happy. Turning his head to look at the two companions again, he didn't seem to care, and as soon as he entered the door, he quickly took a step forward and grabbed Ma Qi's sleeve.

Ma Qi said what are you doing? Don't delay, let's go quickly, don't be late and can't find any snacks to eat, so you have to wait for the evening market hungry...... No, it may not be enough to get out of the city, and it is estimated that you will only have food when you go back to the camp. Ma Jun didn't reply, but raised his hand and pointed at the piece of paper.

Seeing this, Chen Wei also stepped over to see, and read it out loud: "Zheng County Order is, tell the people in the county, businessmen ......" The text of the edict is very easy to understand, but the content is not simple, to put it bluntly, Zheng County Order is Jun requires to break the rule of three markets in the city, merchants and shops must be open throughout the day, small traders can set up stalls throughout the day, and ordinary people can also enter the market at any time to sell. At the same time, he also extended the opening and closing times of the market by two quarters of an hour each. At the end of the article, it reiterates the amount of municipal tax stipulated by the imperial court, stating that if anyone dares to evade taxes, "according to the law, they will be severely punished".

Ma Qi said this is good, since the rules of the city have been broken, maybe there are still restaurants that are open, let's hurry up, go and fill our stomachs first.

Sure enough, after entering the market, after walking a short distance, I saw a restaurant still with its doors open. The three of them entered the middle of the room, chose a bright and transparent place to sit down, and a little servant lazily came over and asked how many people came, this is past the time of the morning meal.

Ma Qi raised his eyebrows: "There is a county lord in front of the city gate, and the three cities are one-do you want to reject me, is it equivalent to being outside the door?" The little guy hurriedly waved his hand and said that he didn't dare, and then explained, saying that the county office did put up a warning, and also asked us not to close the door during the whole day, and not to thank customers, but the problem is not the time of morning and evening meals, basically no one comes, even if the store is open, I have to drink the northwest wind...... Ma Qi took a few shots: "Aren't we human?!" ”

The little guy said that I didn't mean that, but the stove was already out at this time, and there was only some cold food. Ma Qi casually took out a few coins from his bag and slapped them on the table: "You can also eat cold." Hot water is available, and I will wait for hot wine. When the little guy saw the money, his eyes couldn't help but shine, and he hurriedly greeted "three of them are not to be treated", and went straight to the kitchen.

Ma Qi let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It is not to starve, Zheng County can be described as good governance." ”

Chen Wei twisted his eyebrows, pondered for a long time, and suddenly shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not good governance, it's really bad government!" (To be continued......)
