In southeastern India, the rainfall is the heaviest and overlapping with the borders of the neighbouring kingdom of Kinji.

As for Tangor, the annual rainfall is around 1,000 mm. It seems to have abundant rainfall, but it belongs to the tropical monsoon climate, and most of the rainfall is in summer and autumn, and other seasons are not

Drought is often susceptible. 2 2

There are two rice sowing times in South India: one is after the rainy season in autumn, when the water level recedes slightly, sowing seeds around early winter; Second, after the winter rice is harvested, wait a little longer

Months, early summer waiting for rain to sow summer rice.

In terms of temperature, it can be harvested three times a year.

In terms of irrigation, there are at most two crops a year.

mouth

If you want to grow three crops a year, you have to build reservoirs and irrigation canals, and this situation has dragged on for hundreds of years, and even in the 21st century, it has not changed. Jen 8

Zhang Dakun woke up in the morning and his wife was already cooking. Jen 3]

As a soldier of the Datong Army, Zhang Dakun's practice is relatively regular. After washing, he played a set of military boxing techniques at the door of the house, and practiced for a while before returning to the house.

Several major families in the village community were uprooted by Sun Kewang, and although Zhang Dakun was just an ordinary soldier, he was also assigned to a small house. [ 4

It is said to be a small house, but in fact, it can live more than ten people, and there is a special slave room.

Seeing Zhang Dakun return to the house, his wife immediately brought food.

No curry.

The origin of the word curry is precisely the South Indian "sauce", which was borrowed and spread by the Portuguese, and is currently part of the aristocratic cuisine of South India. Moreover, the curry at this time is relatively clear

Light, with only chili pepper and a handful of spices, and no butter, onions and tomatoes. [ 10

In front of Zhang Dakun, there was only rice and stew.

When the wife brought the rice, she knelt on her knees, apparently waiting for her husband to eat it first.

"Come and eat together." Zhang Dakun beckoned.

The wife smiled and sat down cautiously. This situation is repeated every day, if Zhang Dakun does not beckon, his wife will not dare to serve on the table. 2 15

Zhang Dakun is a native of Yunnan, and before graduating from primary school, he learned carpentry work in the village. When he was busy, he was a carpenter, and when he was older, he was recruited as a farmer.

Although the peasant soldiers do not receive military salaries, they only take care of food during training, and they also occupy their spare time. However, instead of resisting, peasants in impoverished areas enthusiastically signed up. Three years of farming

At the end of the military service, they are qualified to enter the city to take the police examination, and the regular division and patrol soldiers are also recruited from the peasant soldiers.

Ordinary people, they can't be peasant soldiers, Zhang Dakun and the village chief are of the same clan, so he got the opportunity to be a peasant soldier. 2 23]

This kid was lucky, and after only two years as a peasant soldier, he was drafted to be a civilian husband. At that time, he attacked the Nguyen Thi in Vietnam, won without much fighting, and spent the rest of his time pacifying the peasants

uprising, and this peasant uprising was also triggered by the Nguyen court.

When Zhang Dakun was transporting grain and grass, he encountered a sneak attack by the peasant army, and his grain transportation team performed well. Zhang Dakun carried a spear, stabbed several enemies to death, and received the reward for his merits

to my hometown in Yunnan.

With military merits, his family told him that his relatives were more picky, and he didn't go well for a year.

At this time, the retired soldiers of Quang Nam Province changed jobs and stayed in Quang Nam. The recruits are all recruited in Yunnan and Guangxi, and Zhang Dakun can write and calculate, and he has military merits, which is very smooth

Leigh went to Quang Nam Province to serve as a soldier. The marriage was delayed again. Jen 2]

Hearing that India can be a landlord and will give a settlement fee, Zhang Dakun has no wife and children to tie up, so he immediately ran to sign up for the sea.

Now, he is really a landlord and gets forty acres of land as he wished. Jen 6]

Zhang Dakun is very satisfied with this, it is all good fields by the river, even if there are a few acres that do not rely on the river, but also rely on the diversion and irrigation canal. You don't have to cultivate it yourself, because it is attached to the soil

The tenants of the land can wait for the grain to be harvested every year.

But there was one thing that made Zhang Dakun very unhappy, or all the Han landlords were unhappy.

The Tamil farmers here don't dig thatched pits and pull feces and urine everywhere, and they don't even know how to use them to make fertilizer. Of course, the farmers here also compost, but only with cow dung

Fertilizer, other animal manure is not used at all. Jen 2]

After Zhang Dakun and other Han landlords got the land, the first thing they did was to ask their tenants to quickly dig pits to store manure. Those wild dung,

Collect it right away, too.

The untouchable tenants were very obedient, but the Shudra tenants did not do it, thinking that collecting dung was the business of the untouchables. Jen 2]

Zhang Dakun, who had a good temper, was so angry that he beat people, and finally made the Shudra tenants willing to touch feces.

Then there are Han people who have not married a wife, and they can give priority to asking for a wife.

Those who were exterminated Brahmins and Kshatriyas, and the female scrolls were distributed to civil and military officials. An ordinary soldier like Zhang Dakun can only marry Vaishya and Shudra women with slightly darker skin.

In addition, you cannot marry a woman from your own village, but you must marry a woman from a nearby village. Jen 2

Zhang Dakun was lucky, he married a Vaishya woman, her complexion was quite fair, and the dowry was a silver dollar and a few cotton cloths.

The father-in-law's family was very happy, because they did not have to give a large dowry, and they could still receive a dowry, and they still crossed castes to marry Han "nobles", who were expensive in their eyes

Tribe.

His Royal Highness the King of Jin said that the Han people do not talk about caste, and the children of the Han people are all Han people. VII 3]

Anyway, the village community that is actually controlled by the Han people heard about this policy, and those who have daughters are crazy to come to the door. It's okay not to give a dowry, or to bankrupt the family and give a dowry, they just want to be able to give a daughter

The son is married to a "nobleman". Even if he can't elevate his caste, he will inevitably be more glamorous in the future, and he can despise his neighbors of the same caste. Jen 1]

After breakfast, Zhang Dakun said to his wife, "I'll go out." ”

His wife chattered and said something she didn't understand, and kept him out of the door.

Zhang Dakun was very satisfied with his wife, although the Shudras and the untouchables were very dark-skinned, his Vaishyas wife was white-skinned and beautiful, even whiter than Zhang Dakun's own complexion. whereas

And obedient, quick to do housework, - look like a housekeeper. [ 12

When I arrived at the gate of my house, there were more than a dozen people kneeling outside.

Zhang Dakun couldn't figure it out at first, but then gradually learned that they all came to look for jobs. As a nobleman in the village, he did not have a single slave, and many of them worked as part-time workers

The villagers who were born desperately wanted to become his slaves.

It is the most cost-effective to hire untouchables, no wages, just take care of the food.

Leftovers, untouchables are also willing to eat, and they don't care about beating or scolding. When he was given a little bit of torn clothes, he was so happy that he knelt down on the spot, crawled over and kissed the ground in front of his master

Face. As for kissing the master's boots, the untouchables are not yet qualified, and that is the privilege of the Shudra class.

[31 ]

The untouchables dare to have any contact with the nobles, and even step on the shadow of the nobles, and they deserve to be killed.

3]

There are already people who hire slaves, but Zhang Dakun doesn't dare for the time being. He has a newlywed wife at home, what if he goes out and his wife cheats on the slave? Jen 5]

"Get out!"

Zhang Dakun carried a fire gun on his back, held a stick in his hand, picked up the stick and hit it.

The beaten person didn't dare to dodge, so he took Zhang Dakun a stick, and then grinned at him.

This smile made Zhang Dakun panic. In the first two days he came to the village, he still regarded the local people as human beings, and gradually found that these guys were self-despised and did not treat themselves as self-conscious

When people. [10]

"Xiao Zhang!

Liu Datong next door shouted. 5 3]

Zhang Dakun ran quickly, stood up and saluted: "Sentry commander!" 2 2]

Liu Datong returned a military salute and said with a smile: "Someone came to the village last night, if you need anything, or send a letter to your hometown, you will report it all to me." If you want to put

The family picked up ,- - all the food and lodging on the road, and the money was paid by His Royal Highness the King of Jin.

Zhang Dakun said: "I have two older brothers at home who take care of my parents, so I don't have to come here. Write to them and tell my family that I have also begged for a wife, and I have divided forty here

acres of paddy fields. ”1

"Then you write the letter at night, and I'll hand it over for you." Liu Datong patted him on the shoulder.

Liu Datong is a native of the Yi ethnic group in Yunnan and was born into a family of Yi slaves. At first, he didn't even have a surname, and he asked the Han people to help him take his first and last names, and he was promoted to the post commander by virtue of military merit

, which is currently equivalent to the head of this village community (not officially appointed).

Moreover, Liu Datong's complexion is very dark, similar to the untouchables here.

When he first arrived, the villagers regarded him as a pariah and ran to curry favor with other soldiers. Liu Datong was so angry that he cleaned up a few offenders, and finally let people know

Dao He has the highest status in the village. { 10

Liu Datong divided a full 100 acres of land, begged a wife, and owned a large number of tenants. His whole family is in Quang Nam Province, and he already has a wife and children, so he plans to pick them up this time

The King of Jin would send a boat to pick up and drop off the family.

Here, the Jin king encouraged concubinage and encouraged having more children. As long as it is not a child born to a pariah, he will be given land when he is twelve years old, and if there is not enough land, he will send troops to open up-

Qiandatong Army, left 500 to defend the city, and the rest returned to the countryside to supervise the tenants to harvest grain.

It's already rice harvest season, and there will be grain output immediately.

Liu Datong not only had to be in charge of his own fields, but also had to help his comrades-in-arms who stayed in Taiwu City manage land and grain. He is now very busy all day long, but full of energy, a hundred acres

Tian, it's all his own, and it will continue to increase in the future.

It's just that the language barrier, it's too tiring to manage, and you can only use gestures and sticks to give orders. Jen 6

Fortunately, the villagers are very honest, and they will not resist if they are beaten or scolded. The downside is that these guys are lazy, let them dig the toilet and compost it, and they are willing to do things in person, - turn their backs and start chatting in a bunch

Sky. More than 10 people dig a toilet, can dig for several days, and if they don't serve with sticks at any time, it is estimated that they can't dig well in half a month. 2 11

The composting technique does not need to be taught, the Tamil farmers themselves do, but they only use cow dung. Now you have to slowly get used to human and animal manure, and it may take two or three years to change your attitude.

In the farmland of Siye, the tenants have been busy for a long time.

There is no need to rush to harvest grain, everyone is hard-working, and they also know the importance of harvest time.

As for the field rent, the Han people did not plan to change, paddy field 80, Hayada 50. After the landlord got the grain, he took out a part of it and handed it over to the king of Jin, and they didn't bother to care about the life or death of the peasants. Just follow a principle, the Han people have more children, and let the local natives die slowly. 6

After the harvest, about a month or so, Liu Datong, Zhang Dakun and others received an order to gather troops.

However, it was closer to the Han villages, and the villages and communities managed by several Brahmins, handed in the wrong amount of grain, and there were obviously fewer tax books than in the past. Jen 2]

These Brahmins, seeing that the Han people do not understand the language, want to fool things. The farther villages, where food has not yet been paid due to distance, must be stopped.

Under the command of the King of Jin, there were also Tamil officials who could speak Chinese, and they often went to Nanyang to do business. They were invited to serve as officials, in charge of translating official archives, and were often assigned

Go and deal with the locals.

Most of these people belong to the Vaishyas caste.

King Jin promised that as long as he became an official, three members of the family could speak Chinese, and let them become Han people in the future. These Vaishya officials, who can speak Chinese, are instantly full of energy

In order to become a Han Chinese, it is equivalent to the whole family being raised to caste.

{10]

Liu Datong went to Taiwu City to report, and the battalion commander took them to collect taxes by force, and the army also brought a Tamil interpreter.

[ 8]

Along the way, they rushed into several village communities, where the aristocratic administrators were exempt from punishment as long as they honestly paid taxes. If you quibble a few words, you will directly exterminate the clan, and the female scroll will be assigned to the Han people as concubines.

Then, with these heads to collect taxes, the rest of the village nobles will be honest.

In the villages and communities in the area under actual control, there are still many fields that have not been divided, and the grain produced in these fields is returned to the public. Jen 11

Zhao Kuangbiao sent a ship back this time, and he had to go to Chittagong and Malacca to borrow ships. Emperor Zhao said that in the first year of conquering Tanjoor, he would give the Jin King a quota of material aid, and the quota would be limited

You can do whatever you want.

13

Zhao Kuangbiao had to hurry up and bring the families of officials and soldiers. And get some more farm tools, there is no shortage of ploughing cattle here, but there is a shortage of iron plows, hoes and other items, many tenants are

Can't afford to buy a plow.

Then, they had to recruit immigrants along the coast, and when they went to India, they immediately divided the fields, starting with 10 acres of paddy fields per person, and doubling the number of dry fields. 1 11]

Chamin and citizens who don't know how to farm can also come over. Those who are willing to divide the fields will divide the fields, and those who do not want to divide the fields will live in Taiwu City, and as long as they are literate, they can serve as officials.

This policy is very attractive, although it is far away from home, you can become an official if you go, and you can be an official without graduating from elementary school!

Moreover, whether you have a wife or not, you can marry a wife and take a concubine when you come here. The more children you have, the better, and taking a concubine and having children is a contribution to the country. 2 11]

Even Zhang Dakun, an ordinary soldier, took another concubine after the rice harvest.

He revealed the meaning of taking a concubine, and the people of the village next door brought their daughters over one after another. Don't give a dowry, pour a dowry, just want to be able to marry your daughter to a Han noble.

Zhang Dakun smiled and carefully selected, and finally chose the whitest complexion and the best appearance, living a happy life of a wife and a concubine in India.
