Chapter 58: Sun Zhongmou, the Sun of the Sun

Liu Bei was dragged up by his third brother.

"Why does the eldest brother make such a gesture?!"

"Adou has a weak temperament, so he will take him through more battles!"

Zhang Fei's memory of what he is interested in has always been:

"Didn't the light curtain say before? The Son of Heaven guards the country! I look at it as suitable for Adou. ”

"Otherwise, even if he is still in the old capital, wouldn't it be a disaster if Adou becomes the bird of the Yizong of the Tang Dynasty?"

Liu Bei recalled that the emperor of the late Tang Dynasty was wary of the Guiyi Army everywhere, Zhang Yichao worked hard to get through Liangzhou, but he was degraded in vain, and Hexi experienced loss and regain.

"General Yide has a point." Pang Tong also helped Zhang Fei:

"We have a long business of rejuvenating the Han Dynasty, and after collecting Hanzhong, we will look north to Yongliang, go west to restore the old land of the Western Regions, and return to the Central Plains and the Central Plains to the east." ‘

"Jiangdong and Beihu have to be dealt with, and then North Korea and Japanese slaves also have to go to see, and there are more Nanyang body poisons and so on......"

Zhang Fei's eyes sparkled when he heard this, and he slapped Pang Tong on the shoulder and patted him:

"It's still the military advisor who remembers clearly! I am satisfied that Lao Zhang can complete one of these things for my eldest brother! ”

Pang Tong glared angrily at Zhang Fei's revenge.

Regarding Pang Tong's words, the three people in Yizhou also reacted differently:

Zhang Song's expression was fanatical, and he only felt that his original vision was really right, the lord was the hero, and he was short of ambition, and he could finally show his ambitions!

Fa Zheng is more admired, the lord is lower than his starting point! But he can fight so far and have the heart to swallow the world, and he is filial piety to accompany him!

Liu Ba pinched the book in his sleeve, only to feel that he was really in vain when he was in Jingzhou, going around for three years, and then returning to the starting point.

Kong Ming, who was a little ashamed because Adou was raised, suddenly remembered "Emperor Fan".

The guidance written by the first emperor through the ages should have some reference value?

But...... Kong Ming thought in his heart, if Shu is determined, he should be the first to establish medicine.

Thirst Fever This kind of hearing still doesn't quite understand for the time being, Kong Ming's gaze slid over Fa Zheng and Liu Ba in turn.

There are a lot of people dying young, which is extremely abnormal.

Don't seek to have that unpredictable medicine like later generations, even if it is just to prevent early death, Kong Ming also feels that medicine should be established!

[But the aristocracy, after all, is still far away from us, there is a very classic question to ask if you are a common man in the Three Kingdoms, which country is better?

And this question first has a clear premise, that is, the Three Kingdoms still belong to the troubled times.

Yuanqu, which has the same status as Tang and Song poems, has a miscellaneous drama called "The Story of the Boudoir", in which there is a sentence that says it very well:

Rather be a peaceful dog, not a troubled world.

The Three Kingdoms are similar, and in essence, it is also a worse situation.

Among them, the life of the people of Ji Han is relatively simple, and we have already said in detail in the chapter of Zhuge Liang's rule of Shu, water conservancy, salt and iron, laws, farming, etc. have basically been sorted out, and a fairly solid foundation has been laid.

When Huan Wen of the Eastern Jin Dynasty conquered Shu, he saw a centenarian, he was a small official in the Wuhou era, Huan Wen was very curious about Wuhou, so he asked him how Wuhou is compared to today?

The little official's answer was also very succinct:

When Ge Gong was there, he didn't notice the difference, and since the Duke was gone, he didn't see the comparison.

It can be seen that the living standards of the people in Shuzhong were in decline after the death of Wuhou, and later Jiang Wanfei Yi belonged to Xiao Gui Cao Sui, and Adou, a fat house, fought crickets with the eunuchs, and the harm to people's livelihood was relatively limited.

In the end, on the eve of the death of the country, Xue Jue of Eastern Wu sent an envoy to Ji Han, and the report that he came back was "the people are all dishes", and the dishes were not the color of hunger, probably that the food was not very good.

Since Xue Jue of Soochow commented so, is Soochow doing well?

But in fact, no matter how you calculate it, the livelihood of Soochow should be relatively at the bottom, about like India.

One of the sources is Luo Tong's recital before the Battle of Yiling.

Luo Tong is one of the few officials in Jiangdong who cares about the people, and describes the life of the bottom that he saw with his own eyes:

Because of conquest and epidemics, the withered fields in the counties and counties are barren, and the rural farmers are basically widows, widows, old and disabled, and there are few strong men.

The poor people and the soldiers of Tuntian would even drown their children because they could not afford to raise them.

Labor requisitions are frequent, the poor are wantonly summoned, and those with a little family background do not hesitate to scatter their wealth and bribe in order to avoid being requisitioned.

The second information is Wu Jian unearthed from the horse building.

Jiangdong has a clear hierarchy, and in addition to the Sun family and the four surnames, the people are divided into four levels: upper grade, middle grade, lower grade, and lower grade.

Faced with this group that cannot afford to pay taxes, the government of Jiangdong said that this is easy to do, go and be a slave.

Wu Jian recorded this kind of special servitude: to the state officials, to the county officials, to the county officials, to the county officials, to the forging of the Zuo, to the three states of the cangfu, to the degree of the pawn, and so on.

Once this kind of conscription is arranged by the government, it is necessary to enter the type of service into the household registration and follow it for life, and it cannot be refused, and it is ready to listen to the call at any time, and there is no end time.

From the perspective of our modern people, this hierarchical system is a bit similar to India next door, when we established the Zhou Dynasty, ancient India invented the four-varna system, which is commonly known as the caste system.

The four ranks of Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya, and Shudra are engaged in sacrifices, warriors, agricultural merchants, and untouchable dalits below.

It is also because of this system in India, where conquerors came and went from the Khyber Pass, and the caste system has stood until today.

It is reasonable to speculate that Sun Quan was put into the Ganges River by his Indian mother, crossed the ocean along the coastline and entered the Yangtze River, and became the chosen son of Jiangdong.

The blue-eyed purple hair is proof that he is the Hindu son of the sun!

Of course, the above is just a joke, and Brother Zhongmou under Jiuquan should not be taken seriously.

Therefore, as the people of Jiangdong, if they unfortunately become the lower two of the four products, the life they live is undoubtedly the bottom of the three kingdoms.

In addition, don't think that there are very few people in Jiangdong, judging from the transfer records unearthed in Zoumalou:

The upper grade has not appeared, the middle grade has only appeared once, and the rest of the service records are all under the lower grade and the lower grade. 】

The Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers only felt that they had really gained knowledge.

Completely different land, even more different systems.

"This Indian Varna...... No, the caste system, what is it? ”

Li Shimin felt that the word was really awkward, so he also called it by caste.

Du Ruhui's expression was full of inquiry, and he took another piece of paper and wrote down the four ranks and one untouchability of India on a separate piece of paper, passed it to the ministers for circulation, and said:

"This varna should be the sound of the language, and the word caste should be the name of the general meaning of the later generations."

"This state system is quite barbaric, no wonder the light curtain said that this place has survived war and has not fallen, and this system can continue for a thousand years."

Fang Xuanling looked at the jokes behind him and guessed:

"This Hinduism is in the name of the country, isn't it that India has no king, and the country is governed by religion?"

"It's just...... What about Buddhism? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said:

"We don't know much, so we might as well guess based on that."

"Sacrifice to the gods, so this brahmin is like Your Majesty with a heavenly constitution in his mouth."

"The rest of the ranks are like the military generals of the civil servants, and the lower two grades are like the common people."

As for the untouchables, it is even less unusual, roughly like a house slave that everyone can call?

Li Shimin also understood, first of all, he stared at the name of the Khyber Pass thoughtfully:

It's really embarrassing, sooner or later, I will change your name!

Then he said: "Such a system, regardless of knowledge and ability, only observes its origin, which is very different from my Tang Dynasty." ”

"No wonder this India has been conquered by foreign races in turn, and the people have no heart to fight to the death, and the soldiers have no will to defend the country, how to fight?"

No...... Li Shimin shook his head again in his heart, it is really difficult to say which surname belongs to the people under this surname system.

But the benefits are also visible, that is, the cost of conquest is greatly reduced, what a good soft persimmon.

Didn't you see that Changhou Junji and Wei Chi Jingde's eyes lit up? Even the eldest grandson Wuji was ready to move.

It's just that I don't know why this foreign country that has been conquering in India in turn didn't build fortifications on the Khyber Pass?

Li Shimin felt quite strange in his heart: As long as it is blocked, won't there be peace of mind in this India?

Du Ruhui put forward another perspective:

"Looking at the dispute between the future generations and India, and looking at the route of its army, could it be that this is called the moat of the Himalayan Mountains, and there are also mountain passes?"

The eldest grandson Wuji thought for a moment and shook his head:

"Many extraordinary means ...... in later generations"

Li Shimin was quite tempted: "Choose a shrewd person, send a strong pawn to protect him, pretend to be a businessman with cane sugar, and go to Tibet to investigate the situation." ”

"Since Tibet grew up in Sri Lanka, if there is a shortcut to India, they must know it."

So the matter was put to rest for the time being.

Li Shimin only then had time to stare at the words of the later generations ridiculing Sun Quan, hehe, Zhile.

In comparison, it seems that he is still quite popular with future generations, at least there is no such joke.

Even he, Li Shimin, has to thank Sun Zhongmou, if it weren't for his persecution of the people, An could hear about this Indian system?

……

The three of Yizhou stared at the hundred-year-old official who commented on Wuhou's words and was a little surprised:

"So the name?"

Zhang Fei was complacent: "What is this? The people of Shuzhong also set up a Wuhou Temple for the military advisor, inheriting thousands of years of incense! ”

Liu Bei, Pang Tong, and Zhao Yun Mizhu nodded violently together, only feeling honored.

Then Zhang Fei said complacently:

"The military advisor is even more with my brother to worship the temple, although the temple plaque is written Zhaolie Temple, the people only call the Wuhou Temple, which shows that the military advisor has won the hearts of the people in Shu."

Liu Bei's eyes became subtle, and he stared at his third brother and said:

"Baishui Pass is guarded by Zhong Miao, and Yide might as well stay in Chengdu for half a month first."

"When the dredging of the Chengdu River is completed, it is not too late to return to Baishuiguan to guard the town."

Zhang Fei touched his head, only to feel that his eldest brother had also become moody, so he could only respond aggrievedly.

In order to alleviate the embarrassment of breaking, Zhang Song took the initiative to enliven the atmosphere and said:

"Wolong has both loyalty and martial arts, and the phoenix chick who wants to be famous also leaves a name in history."

Pang Tong opened his mouth in the face of Zhang Song's earnest gaze, but he couldn't say a word, like a fish on the shore.

The next one is about nine o'clock, thank you miao
