Chapter 25: Fan Dou
"Go to sleep, I have to get up early tomorrow morning." Xin said again.
Vi cautiously retreated and returned to her cabin.
Looking at Wei's back, Xin couldn't help but sigh again, a slave who has been imprisoned in his mind since he was a child, that's it.
In Wei's opinion, she should do whatever she gave Xin.
On the contrary, Xin did anything for her, which was a punishment for her.
……
After a night of silence, when Xin woke up again, Wei had already prepared water for him to wash.
The nobles in the Spring and Autumn Period had good habits of bathing and hygiene.
Sacrifice to bathe, expedition to bathe, court to bathe, guests to bathe......
When you invite guests, you have to let the guests "bathe for three days and bathe for five days", which means that you have to let the guests wash their hair once in three days and take a bath in five days, which is in line with etiquette.
Washing his face, Xin still likes to do it himself.
Wei was serving Xin You carefully, her eyes full of love.
"Gentleman, you seem to have really changed as a person." Wei said again.
This time, her feelings were even stronger.
Xin was helpless, a woman's intuition was simply too accurate.
"I am who I am, and that will not change." Xin replied, "It's just that I don't want to live like I used to." ”
In fact, after fusing the memories of the previous master, Xin couldn't tell who he was now.
He has the emotions of the previous Xin You, and he also has the thoughts of the traverser Xin You.
The two of them are completely one.
So Xin thinks that he is still himself, but ...... It's like evolving.
Wei didn't dwell on the issue anymore, it was already dawn, and she knew that Xin still had a lot to do.
She took out clean clothes and put them on again.
When everything was arranged, he called in again.
She knew that Xin was going to go out with Ao Zuo again.
After eating a little bread casually, Xin hurriedly walked out with Yuzuo.
"Gentleman, don't you look at those bamboo slips today?"
Ao Zuo asked.
"Those things, you don't have to watch them all the time." Xin said: "Come with me to the place where the Fan clan lives today, I want to find a potter." ”
"Fan?"
He asked, but he didn't dare to say anything.
Xin also knew that Yu Zuo was very afraid of the Fan clan.
He was a slave and was often bullied by a few of the Fan boys.
If it weren't for Xin and his protection, it would have been possible for Luo Zuo to be bullied to death by a few boys of the Fan clan.
He's a slave anyway, and no one will care if he's dead.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Xin said again.
The two of them came to Fan Mi's house one after the other.
Although Xin Yi is a doctor of Yi, when he came to the settlement of the Fan clan, he still had to report to the patriarch of the Fan clan first.
Fan Mi's home is much better than where Xin lives again.
The yard is newly renovated, and there is a gravel paved road outside the gate.
At the gate of the Fan family, there were two other members of the Fan clan standing there, like the soldiers at the door of the big nobles.
However, these two "family soldiers" were obviously not professional, and when they saw Xin coming again, they all rushed in.
"Uncle, uncle! Dr. Yi is here! ”
A loud voice shouted.
The two men pushed and shoved each other and stumbled.
"This Lao Fan, if you want to put up a shelf, you can also find two people with a high level, it's really embarrassing to let these two goods stay here." Xin said secretly.
"Except for them, no one wants to take care of the home for others, and they don't give money." Ozo Road.
These two people are notoriously lazy men in the Fan family, and Fan Mi gave them such an errand so that they could fill their stomachs.
"Did anyone plant the land of these two people?" Xin asked again.
"Absolutely! However, more than half of the grain planted must be taken away from others. Luo Zuo whispered: "It's Fan Mi, the old man, who 'borrowed' their land. ”
"I see...... Xin knew in his heart.
In the mid-to-late Spring and Autumn period, the well field system was basically destroyed.
Under the Ida system, land is state-owned.
The farmland of the peasants was allocated by the state, and people had to plant not only their own land, but also a certain amount of "public land" as tribute.
The land divided by the state is custom-made, and private buying and selling is not allowed.
However, with the development of productive forces, there were more and more private land, and the princes and princes reclaimed a large amount of land for their own use.
The doctors have understood the preciousness of land, so they occupy a large amount of private land.
So in this era, there are already many countries that allow private ownership of land.
Qi's "land and decay" and Lu's "initial tax per mu", regardless of public land or private land, are all taxed according to the amount of land, which is tantamount to a disguised recognition of the legality of private land.
The Cheng clan naturally didn't dare to blatantly annex the land of small households like those big princes, so they changed their ways.
The two gatekeepers, Fan Da and Fan Jia, didn't like farming anyway, so Fan Mi simply gave them a bowl of rice to eat, and then "borrowed" their land to help them plant.
It's just the grain that was grown, and the Fan family took the lion's share.
These two people don't have to work, and they can get a little food, which is enough for them to live, and they are naturally happy and comfortable.
Not long after Fan Da and Fan Jia entered, Fan Mi walked out of the house.
You can see that his face is very unhappy.
These two gatekeepers are a bit of a drop.
"Gentleman." Fan Mi made a salute: "Please come into the hall and talk." ”
Xin was not polite, and walked into the Fan family's hall with Yu Zuo.
The two sat opposite each other, and Zuo Zuo stood behind Xin You.
"The gentleman came to my Fan family, what is the matter?" Fan Mi asked.
Xin said: "My mother is about to celebrate her birthday, and I want to find a potter to help her make something for the old man." ”
"Potter?" Fan Mi said: "My Fan family does have two potters, but Fan Yi is too old, seriously ill in bed, and can't do anything." His son Fan Dou can help the gentleman make something. ”
Xin didn't expect this Fan Mi to agree so readily, but Xin quickly figured out the reason.
Fan Mi thought that Xin came to him again to persuade him to let the Chinese people come and read and write.
Today's classroom in the township school after dusk is where Fan Mi exerts his strength.
Like Yin Rong and Xin Duan, he had long told his clan that he was not allowed to go to the township school to read and write.
So Fan Mi thought that Xin came back and begged him to let the countrymen go to the village school, but Xin just asked a potter to make pottery.
This made Fan Mi feel at ease and agreed.
"It seems that this nerd doesn't know what will happen at night, so if you want to make some pottery for the family, just give you a rotten potter." Fan Mi said secretly in his heart.
Fan Mi heard the potter Fan Yi say that his son Fan Dou's level was not good, and he learned less than one percent of him.
He just deliberately went against Xin You, trying to pull back a field from Xin You.
Soon, Fan Mi called the potter Fan Dou.
Fan Dou is an honest man, and when he entered the door, he kept rubbing the mud on his hands.
There was no clean place on his body, and he stood in the courtyard and did not dare to come in.
"It's him, what the gentleman wants to do, just tell him."
"That's very good."
Xin felt very satisfied, he didn't want Fan Dou to get involved.
No one can know about the distilled spirits themselves, and the technology cannot be mastered by others.
If it weren't for Xin, he wouldn't know how to make pottery, and he wouldn't want the potter.
But Xin had already thought of something in the evening, and even if the potter could make a copy of a set of pottery, he wouldn't know the secret of distilling the spirit.
