Chapter 18: We Don't Need It
"Farmer? Xu Kaiming?" Xiao Shilong sighed for a moment, only to feel that there have been a lot of strange things recently! First, the prime minister coveted Haizhou two months ago, and then the Lu family directly cursed Haizhou for two years without rain; and then in the war, it appeared that many towns hooked up with the Gyeongju Bo in the back, and now the farmers have also sent people!
This farmer is from Gyeongju in the south!
Don't think about it, the first time, Xiao Shilong fell into the other party's bad intentions! After thinking about it, he sent someone to call Xiao Hao over, and then also went out to greet the farmer.
As one of the nine streams of the world, because the farmer advocates "farming and eating with the people, and governing with food (yong, xiang)", this is an advocacy on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is also a self-proclaimed sage. But in any case, the peasant family is indeed indispensable and offended by every family in all countries -- it is the farming that is in charge of the people.
(Gluttony, a day's diet)
Walking from the hall to the door, Xiao Shilong had already turned a thousand thoughts in his heart, and finally screened out a possibility: The three towns in the south and many towns are all more or less related to Gyeongju in the south; but it is impossible for the people of Gyeongju to take revenge on Haizhou openly--what do you want others to think? Therefore, they can only use some conspiracy to retaliate!
Then, this representative of the peasant family who came from Haizhou is doubtful. However, this section of the road was limited after all, and Xiao Shilong still walked to the door.
The Xiao family is just a cold family and a cold family, and now that the ninth-rate peasant family is coming, Xiao Shilong lowered his posture. Under today's social hierarchy, no matter how rich the Xiao family is, it is also a "people", and no matter how much the farmer is a side branch, it is also a "scholar".
Therefore, although this is not a formal occasion, such as a national festival, Xiao Shilong still has to keep his posture down.
Hunched and clenched into fists, fists above the head, waist and ground.
"Hmm!" Xu Kaiming held his chest high, and hummed with no one in his eyes, and then walked in directly without looking at Xiao Shilong's appearance. Arrogance, no one in sight, arrogance...... This is the attitude of an aristocracy towards the "people".
Xiao Shilong clenched his hands tightly, and the green tendons on his hands flared up, but he still had to maintain a kind and humble smile on his face.
Don't look at Xu Kaiming as just a side branch of the farmer's branch...... But no matter how people are, they are also scholars, with the prestige of the ninth-rate family, as long as they open their mouths, the current Xiao family really can't eat and walk around......
"Boy Xiao Hao, I've seen Lord Xu. Xiao Hao also uses standard etiquette, the same as his father.
At first glance, Xiao Hao could see that Xu Kaiming's life was definitely good. A man in his forties has a black head, compared to his father, who is not yet forty years old, but he is already white.
The oppression of the upper strata against the lower strata has formed an unbreakable relationship through the social system!
"Nice little guy. Hehe...... "Xu Kaiming may feel that his status is noble, but he is not so cheap as to embarrass Xiao Hao - after all, the current Xiao Hao is only 12 years old, and to Lord Xu, this is still a child.
"Thank you, my lord, for the compliment, this is the glory of the small people. Xiao Hao was unwilling, but he had to surrender temporarily under such a social system.
If you don't have the ability to resist, then obey it!
Xu Kaiming sat on the main seat very "consciously", Xiao Shilong sat on the right hand side, and the rest of the peasant family sat on the left hand side. In this environment of respecting the left, Xiao Shilong can only condescend to the right in front of the family.
"Dare to ask the adults what to advise?" Xiao Shilong stood up and asked cautiously. Although I think that the other party may come with malicious intentions, I still try it - there is no loss anyway. Well, this is the helplessness of the small people at the bottom in a hierarchical society.
"Well, the tea is good. Xiao Yuanwai, I heard that you are going to dig a ditch?"
"Yes. Xiao Shilong sighed in his heart, "Now is the critical period for winter wheat cultivation, and we dare not delay, so we have started construction today." ”
"I know!" Xu Kaiming's tone was called a tall man, "but Xiao Yuanwai, don't you know that all the agriculture in the world belongs to the peasants! In particular, canal irrigation, water conservancy construction, etc., are all the fields of our peasants.
Moreover, for the safety of the people of the world, do you know how to build canals, how to restrain the water of the Youlongjiang River, and how to dig up all the land in Haizhou in just one month?"
"This ......," Xiao Shilong's face turned red. It's not a redness that you don't know, but an angry one!
Yes, how to repair the canal, Xiao Hao thinks, is it very simple at all! And it doesn't need to be very durable, it can be used for two years is enough! Therefore, he has already discussed it with Xiao Shilong.
Also, Xiao Shilong immediately understood the reason - at least on the surface. In the words of the earth, it is: the cake of the farmer's house!
The division of labor among the nine streams in the world is very clear, and it just happens to divide up all the major things of human society! There is only one rule left, which is given to the kings and princes. And these kings and princes are often inextricably linked with the Nine Streams.
The nine streams in the world, Confucianism is in charge of education, Legalism is in charge of law, Mojia is in charge of handicraft industry, famous people are in charge of national diplomacy, but in decline, they are squeezed by the Zongheng family, etc., and the miscellaneous family is in charge of all the way and re-ruled, needless to say, the farmer is in charge of the world's agriculture and water conservancy, etc., needless to say, the Zongheng family is needless to say, the spy leader of the iron and iron, but people are keen on balance, and the military family is in charge of the war, etc., and the doctor does not need to explain it.
Together, these nine streams jointly controlled the world and absorbed the 6 luck of the entire NPC to strengthen themselves.
So it is conceivable that the decision of the Xiao family is related to the status of the farmer. Of course, others will have their opinions! At worst, this matter is no longer just a question of moving the cake, but a question of the ruling and ruled classes!
The nine streams in the world weave a big net together, from top to bottom, firmly control the world!
"Please also ask for your guidance. Xiao Shilong made a decision almost instantly, the current Xiao family is still just a Han family.
"In this case, how about we send someone to guide you in digging the canal? But as a punishment for your wrongdoing, half of this year's grain income will go to the farmers as our expenses for digging the canal.
We are responsible for guidance, human, material and financial resources, etc., and you are responsible for it. In addition, all the ditches have monuments to show that they were directed by the farmer. And every town has built a temple for farmers to worship and set up temples. During the New Year's festival, incense is needed to be sacrificed. ”
If this is done, Haizhou will become the back garden of the peasants, and all the luck in Haizhou will be plundered by the peasants! At that time, all the families in Haizhou will inevitably be exterminated!
But it doesn't matter, at a critical time, Xiao Hao stood up, "My lord, the kid thinks that opening a canal is just a cheap farmer's business." Moreover, Haizhou is barren, and the people have no three-foot covered body, plus this **, we will not be able to afford too much.
Therefore, we only planned to dig a simple ditch that would last for two years. It will be abandoned in two years.
In this way, after two years, the ditch will be deserted, and if there is no incense in the temple after two years, it will only increase the trouble.
If the major events of the farm are delayed because of this, the kid thinks that it is absolutely impossible to make the people of Haizhou uneasy. ”
"This ......" The one behind Xiao Hao was abandoned after two years, which really made Xu Kaiming hesitate.
But if people don't use your canal in two years, or even fill it in, or if the canal causes floods two years later, it will cause the farmer to be counterattacked, and at worst, it is a joke.
It's just that Xiao Hao is too tender, Xu Kaiming thought about it for a while, and then said: "It's okay, I think as long as I can do something for Haizhou, it's enough." Otherwise, if I look at Haizhou without rain for two years, I feel heartache.
How innocent are the people!
And, little boy, how do you say you dig enough ditches in a month? In fact, the situation in the field today lasts for 2o days at most, and about 3o days has already harmed the crops.
If we let the farmers worship the heavens and use luck as the edge, we can complete the canal opening in ten days.
Of course, this may consume a lot of luck, and it will lead to ten years without rain in Haizhou. However, Haizhou is backed by the Youlong River, and the river water is sufficient, as long as the canal is successfully opened, it doesn't matter if there is no rain for ten years and a hundred years.
And the canal dug by the farmer is enough to be used for more than 100 years. No need to dredge for a hundred years!"
Looking at the other party's righteous Ling Ran's appearance, Xiao Hao only felt like vomiting. These bastards, bloodsucking is so a matter of course. However, this matter must not be agreed, and Haizhou must not allow the peasants to build temples and erect monuments, otherwise the peasants can easily extract the last trace of luck from the land and make this place a dead land with no grass! Such an example is not unprecedented.
With a roll of his eyes, Xiao Hao felt that he should also play a scoundrel, "Lord Xu, the kid is also thinking about the farmer." What is the situation in Haizhou, adults also understand, wicked people are rampant, and there is no law at all.
If the farmer builds a temple and erects a monument here, it is very likely that it will be destroyed and defaced by some wicked people, and if the farmer is defiled because of this, it is really unbearable. ”
This is the so-called barefoot who is not afraid to wear shoes, and is willing to dare to pull the emperor off the horse! If such a situation really happens, at least in the peasant family of the great royal court, it will definitely become a joke!
Thinking of all kinds of possibilities, Xu Kaiming hesitated for a while. If this is really the case, can you really slaughter Haizhou?
Xiao Shilong spoke at this time, "All the experts have come from afar to make the Xiao family shine. A small gift is not a tribute.
Bang bang ......"
With applause, two housekeepers came in carrying a large flat box.
With a snap, it opened, and fifty gold ingots were placed, each of which was the size of a fist, at least twice as much as an ordinary ingot!
"This ......" Xu Kaiming's eyes straightened for a while. A thousand taels of gold is not a small amount, especially in these times of low productivity. That is to say, the Xiao family has recently copied the family wealth of several enemies before they can take it out, otherwise the Xiao family will also have heartache if they take it out - in fact, it is the same now.
Similarly, for Xu Kaiming, after all, it is a small family that is not to be seen in the farmer's family, one thousand taels of gold, which is equivalent to the prime minister's face for the whole year!
"Take it!" Xu Kaiming did not withstand the temptation after all! This means that we will not interfere again.
Watching the people of the farmer's house leave, Xiao Hao and Xiao Shilong's faces began to be gloomy. This feeling of being bullied to the nose and not being able to fight back is really terrible!
And when he was about to go out, Xu Kaiming spoke again disgustingly: Don't come to beg me in the future, then it won't be this price. See how you guys can do it in 3o days!
