Spring and Autumn I Am King

The spring breeze blows, the ice and snow are completely thawed, the larvae in the dormant soil have already awakened and active, and the fish swim upstream from the deep water, spitting bubbles from the surface. ↗ Apex novel, x. The smooth-furred otter placed the caught fish on the shore and held its claws together, just like a human sacrifice. Hongyan geese came from the south, flew over Xilu, some stayed in Onozawa, and some continued to fly northward: their birthplaces were far away in Yan, Sushen, Korea, and further north, the Land of Never Sleeping , Legend has it that there is a dragon **** who emits red light roaming in the air, which is called "Aurora" in later generations.

The major events of the country, in the sacrifice and the Rong, are also worshipping the gods belonging to the agricultural nation, the wood **** Jumang, which is closely related to the sowing and spring ploughing. Speaking of which, Zhao Wuxi also finds it funny. This deity of "Oriental Jumang, with the body of a bird and the face of a man, riding on two dragons" is theoretically still his own clan. Jin Dynasty did not worship this god.

As the "three elders" who had high hopes by Zhao Wuxi, the young Gong Xichi squatted on the astronomical platform, meticulously calculating the time with the newly learned Zhou Bi numbers. He will abide by the "Six Canons" taught by the Master and follow the "Eight Laws" to calculate the movement of the sun, moon and stars, the position of the sun, and the places the moon passes through. Follow the old chapter unchanged.

"Mengchun's first month, the position of the sun's movement is in the camp; at dusk, the star is in the middle of the southern sky; at dawn, the tail star is in the middle of the southern sky!"

Even if there were rumors that the Master and Si Kou were at odds, but Gong Xichi never missed it. Three days before the beginning of spring, he reported to Zhao Wuxi for investigation: "One day, the beginning of spring. Mude is in order."

And Zhao Wuxi was also ready to make sacrifices for the Spring Festival, praying for a bountiful harvest. On the day of the beginning of spring, I returned to the city after the sacrifice. He also rewarded subordinate officials and soldiers in Yi Temple. And ordered the release of Germanism. Proclamation of prohibition, implementation of praise, and granting of favors will benefit all the people, including Linqiu, Yuncheng, Zhen, and Yiyi, which has become a new territory without mercy.

Even Punan in the area occupied by the Zhao clan was no exception. Zhao Wuxi announced on the Lichun day: "The land of Punan will all be treated the same as Xilu, and only take ten taxes and one! If there is no war this year, the labor will be performed by Qi prisoners. ."

This immediately aroused the cheers of the Punan Wei people, and the confrontation of some local clans also eased a lot. After all, it was the Zhao clan who defeated the main force of the Qi army. They did not dare to openly resist. Only a cooperative attitude can be adopted, and almost every family sends their clansmen to participate in the ceremony of worshiping the God of Jumang.

The first day after the beginning of spring. Zhao Wuxi took these people to worship Houji, the **** of agriculture, and led the slaughter, Sima, Sanlao, and judges to cultivate the land.

"Although the well-field system has been abandoned, since King Xuan of Zhou, King Zhou has gradually stopped registering in the fields. But Si Kou has to do it. Lu people emphasize agriculture. This is the opportunity for Si Kou to show that he attaches great importance to his own business."

"It's natural."

The people of Zongzhou were based on agriculture. Industry and commerce is the end, although now the trend of the week has begun to change. But as long as the majority of the population is made up of peasants, it doesn't matter who rules. All must show an attitude of attaching importance to agriculture.

Zhang Mengtan had to accompany Zhao Wuxi to Jitian today, and then he had to run back to Yuncheng to manage politics, and he had to take care of Onoze and Punan. He is nearly 20 years old. After the war, Zhen Shi, who was devoted to serving Zhao Wuxi, sent a daughter to be a concubine, but he did not have much time to enjoy the blessings of the people. Broken leg", with the expansion of the shirtless site, he has lost a lot of weight.

Zhao Wuxi, who did both business and family affairs, put on a solemn dress and said with a smile: "In the future, Meng Tan will be at ease in Yuncheng to make arrangements. If I have something to discuss with you, I will be closer, and I will leave the matter of patrolling to my son. I'll do it."

The son I am talking about here is Kan Zhi. He has just been appointed as an inspector, and he took a few stern black-clothed messengers to pick the wrong one.

Zhang Mengtan agrees to promises. Recently, Kan Zhi has been widely used. With the rumors that Zhao Wuxi and Confucius are not in harmony, he seems to be more trusted than Zigong who is still in Taoqiu. However, Zhang Mengtan's chief conspiracy status is not. Still unshakable.

...

Plant a grain of millet in spring, and harvest ten thousand in autumn.

It is not difficult to register the field. The method is to push the copper plough into the soil. According to the ritual system, the emperor pushes three times, the public pushes five times, the lord and princes push nine times, and Zhao Wuxi, who is the highest doctor, pushes twelve times. Just do it. After all, he also worked in the fields in his previous life, so he did it very seriously. Instead of touching it casually, he pushed the plow away like a skilled old farmer. Zhang Mengtan ploughed in the front, and Ji Qiao spread the plow on the side. with seeds.

Unconsciously, when the surrounding voices of admiration came, Wu Xie turned around and found that the fresh soil had been opened for dozens of steps.

"It's just a drop in the bucket for the entire million acres of land in Xilu, but if you don't take a few steps, you can start spring farming with me!"

After registering the fields, the people of the neighboring townships must be called for a feast, which is called "labor wine", because unlike the pretentious posture of the meat eaters, the people really have to do their best to cultivate the land and sow seeds.

"I especially remember the situation when Si Kou demonstrated the Daitian method in Chengxiang. We were really ignorant at the time." Ji Qiao was sweating after walking a few steps. After drinking, he said this with a smile.

Ji Qiao began to give birth to Hua Fa early in his forties. Unlike his genius-like mathematical ability, his ability to rule the city was indeed very limited. Scheduling the treasury, living within your means.

As soon as these words came out, the people of Lu were a little dazed, and they didn't have any knowledge of martial arts. They simply talked to the people around them about the past three years ago. After listening to them, the officials of Lu people looked at each other while praising them.

Zhao Wuxi saw all this in his eyes.

Despite the differences in composition and political inclinations, the sources of Zhao Wuxi's subordinate officials can be roughly divided into two categories: Jin and Lu people. Although they have not yet reached the level of clear distinction, the tendency of people on both sides to form a group is more obvious.

Wu Xie continued to maintain an impartial attitude. After all, they each had their own strengths. The elders of Chengxiang were loyal and deeply penetrated by Zhao Wu Xie's thoughts, but their influence was mainly concentrated in the military. The Lu people were led by more than ten Confucian disciples and Kan Zhi, and some of them were extremely talented. Some are natives of Xilu and are familiar with the township party. This is inherently beneficial for working at the grassroots level.

Therefore, Zhao Wuxi chose talents from both sides to use them, and also intended to promote their healthy competition. But if it develops into the same party and slashing differences, which affects the governance, he will not hesitate to use an iron fist!

This is also Zhao Yang's style and style of government, so no matter how talented Zhao's servants are, they must only obey the will of the Lord. When Zhao Yang showed a very obvious tendency to take Wu Xie as his heir, the retainers almost unanimously complied.

Ji Qiao was not very scheming and did not notice this situation, he continued to report: "Several Sang Shi Litian from Chengxiang spent a whole year last year to prove that the Daitian method can be applied in Xilu. So this year, most places can start planting one grain and one wheat. Last year, Zeng Jian had a clear wall and a large army was stationed, so the food was exhausted, but because Si Kou exchanged porcelain and paper for food from Taoqiu, So the seeds are enough, it's just..."

Wu Xie said: "Mr. Ji has difficulties, just say it."

Ji Qiao complained: "It's just that the number of cattle and farm tools may not be enough. Last year, during the fierce battle for half a year, hundreds of cattle and horses died. The copper and tin stored in the treasury are all cast arrows and spears, so people can't hold them up. Mu Shi Lei, come to Daida!"

War is not only a comparison of strategies and tactics, but also a contest of financial strength and resources. so-called

"Internal and external expenses. The use of guests, the materials for glue and paint, the service of the car armor. The daily expense is a thousand gold, and then the division of 100,000 will be paid." Once the normal combat period of three months is exceeded. Then "the blunt troops will be defeated sharply, and the siege of the city will be subdued. The long-term violence of the division will make the country insufficient."

As the victorious party, Zhao Wuxi was faced with the situation of insufficient national resources. Not to mention the state of Wei, which brought 20,000 troops outside for three or four months, and lost four towns, and the state of Qi, which was mourned in the snowfield and plagued inward.

Therefore, although the peace treaty has not yet been signed, when Meng Chun came, all parties agreed to a truce. After all, in the traditional concept, it is not allowed to raise troops during this month, and raising troops will inevitably suffer from natural disasters.

Because the social system and state machinery of the countries in the Spring and Autumn Period could not afford years of long-term wars, intermittent conquests had to be carried out like seasonal changes. Only the emerging clans who have completed the clan and economic reforms can give it a try!

Although Zhao Wuxi's forces have made many improvements, they are still far from this point!

After thinking about it for a while, he came up with an idea: "The cattle and horses can be rented from various towns and temples, and if there are not enough, they can only be replaced by coupled farming, and the strict orders of each town in Xilu must be notified. !"

As soon as these words came out, Gong Xichi, who presided over Jitian, and everyone around him were surprised.

The level of agricultural development in the State of Lu is uneven. Some places already have more advanced farming, but some remote wild lakes and hills do not know anything about it. In addition, there are customs left over from the old times in various places, that is, the cattle must be killed during festivals.

In the Yin and Zhou Dynasties, when cattle farming had not yet appeared, cattle were simply raised to pull carts, or slaughtered for food and sacrifices. That's why the cow ranks first among the three animals, and cattle are generally used in major sacrificial ceremonies.

As the saying goes, "In all sacrifices, the Son of Heaven sacrifices oxen, the feudal lords use fattened oxen, the high-ranking officials use oxen, and the scholars use sheep and hogs." "Sacrificial cattle" refers to whole cattle with pure color, "fat cattle" refers to fat cattle, and "Suo Niu" means simply selected cattle. The ox used for sacrifices is strictly regulated in terms of color and posture, and it is not possible to just pull an ox for sacrifice.

Originally, in order to reflect the difference of grades, only doctors could slaughter cattle for sacrifice, but under the collapse of ritual and music in the Spring and Autumn Period, merchants, scholars, and wealthy Chinese people slaughtered cattle and sacrificed meat. , it doesn't matter. As far as Zhao Wuxi can see, the number of cows that die every year because of this is no less than the number of cows that die in a war.

Now it is different from the world of Yin and Zhou. The method of cattle farming is spreading in the Central Plains, so Wu Xie said that cattle slaughtering is a habit left over from the old times~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The cow is dead and the cow is alive, it is no longer the gods and the gods. The question of whether the glutton can be eaten or not is related to the survival of a family, and even a mile and a city this year, whether it is hungry or full!

At present, cattle farming is in the ascendant, so it has not yet attracted attention. However, when it spread throughout the Wei, Jin, Sui and Tang Dynasties, the ban by the state began to appear.

If we can cut off the wear and tear, and then let the Yi Temple come forward to manage it, we will be able to produce a lot of cattle every year. Although the Song Dynasty of later generations is bad at home, the strict law prohibiting the killing of cattle is not bad.

So Wu Xie is also pondering: "The more you ban some things, the more people want to try it, let alone non-toxic beef, poisonous opium is also rushing. Hey, do you want to let Zibao make a rumor and say Eating beef is easy to get sick from febrile diseases, or I will make up a story and say that non-feudal lords and officials, using cows for sacrifices will anger Boyi and Houji?"

As for farm tools... (To be continued.)
