Daqin: I was heard by Zulong at the beginning

Chapter 127 Just eat more rice on the first day of junior high school
After the reception banquet was over, Su Chen and Ying Yinman were tired, and Fusu and the others just came back from a stroll around, and they sat together to discuss new jobs.

Now that the Weihe River is no longer flooded, many tasks need to be restarted, such as helping refugees reorganize their fields and rebuild their villages.

Because of this flood, many villages were killed and injured, and the unowned villages are bound to become the focus of contention among refugees. At this time, the refugees need to be reorganized and the villages re-divided.

Unowned village fields are generally collected by the county, and the county magistrate decides to lease them out or plant them by the county itself.However, the flood caused the refugees to lose countless food and wealth, so whether to provide some convenience to the refugees still needs to be considered by Fusu and the others.

In addition to the land and housing, although the quality of the housing in the refugee camp is not bad, they are all Datong shops, which are not suitable for families to live in for a long time.

The next thing is food. Fortunately, the food is not a big problem at present. The weather is still hot recently, and there has been a supply of potato seeds. The planting will stop until early autumn. The last batch of potatoes will be harvested in early winter. The refugees will spend the winter and next year. In spring, food is not a problem.

As for winter clothes, Su Chen already knew that there was no cotton in Daqin at this time, and the aristocratic families relied on animal fur to keep warm, while the peasants were in a miserable situation, using broken wadding of plants to barely keep warm. Of course, this is not bad, most of the time In fact, the low-level people in the Qin Dynasty basically relied on shaking for the winter.

However, the Qin Dynasty had the ability to build such a thing as a kang. The house where Qin Shihuang lived even had the conditions to build a fireplace, and even the surrounding walls were connected with pipes. As long as the charcoal was lit, the whole room was as warm as spring, and there was no trace of smoke or dust.

But the later generations, the less and less heating methods were handed down. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the royal family used braziers for heating, or surrounded by maids.

This reminded Su Chen of the elementary school chickens of the later generations. They squeezed back and forth when they couldn't bear the cold. This is called "squeezing the nest". One, it won't squeeze.Tsk, the first emperor is indeed the first emperor, no matter how many emperors there are in the future, it is hard to compare.

Su Chen despised those shameless and flirtatious later emperors in his heart, and then brought his thoughts back to the meeting scene.Fusu was also talking about keeping warm in winter.

The fortune teller didn't know much about it. As a rich and powerful master, he and Fusu had the same views on many things.

The lieutenant general heard Fusu talk about a lot of things to be given to the refugees, such as fur coats, leather boots, houses and fireplaces, etc., which made the corners of his mouth twitch.

Let any refugee come over and listen, and he will also twitch, and even say to others: "Listen, listen, is this something a prince can say? Isn't this bullying?"

If Su Chen didn't know the difference between the nobles of the Qin Dynasty and the lower class, he would definitely be as calm as a fortune-teller, but he knew, so he could see the abnormality of the lieutenant general and his impulse to curse at a glance.

Su Chen held down the deputy general and said to Fu Su, "Do you know what the poor people at the bottom rely on to keep warm in winter?"

Fusu asked in puzzlement, "Aren't they all the same?" Although the living conditions are very different, that's because building a house requires money, and farmers don't have money.The food is not good because farmers have too little land to grow much food.

But the clothes are different. Animals are ownerless. Farmers can kill a few wild beasts and take them home and make them into leather clothes. Who can not allow it?

Fusu thought of this, and added to Su Chen, "Farmers don't have to pay taxes for hunting, I know."

Su Chen would still be choked by his words for a while. Although your son thought it simple, he was right.Yeah, why don't farmers hunt and make furs themselves?

Su Chen looked at the lieutenant general and threw the question to him, the lieutenant snorted coldly in his heart, after hearing Fusu's pressure, it's time for me to come out!

The lieutenant coughed, and brushed his wide sleeves across the table, a strange look appeared on the faces of the fortune teller and Fusu: this movement, this gesture, they are treated like a group of chickens!

So when the deputy general raised his head to look at the few people in front of him, he was taken aback by the resentment on the faces of the fortune teller and Fusu.

"Most farmers, even if they are a little richer, don't have furs or anything. Even in heavy snow, they can endure a whole winter. The reason why they don't have animal skins is not because they are too lazy to hunt, but because they don't hunt at all. Tools, even if you are lucky enough to get a beast, sell it for money and exchange it for food or use.”

In fact, out of a hundred farmers, only one may have that kind of good luck in his lifetime.As for hunting, you cannot hunt with a hoe. Even if you let specialized hunters hunt, they would not dare to use a useless tool like a hoe.And based on the farmer's physical strength, I don't even know if the farmer is hunting or delivering rations to the wild beasts.

Finally, even if a farmer finds a rabbit that has hit a stake, he will not exchange it for money, nor dare he peel off the rabbit skin and wear it on his own body. There are also regulations on how to dress. Ordinary people may have to squat if they are reported to wear fur coats. prison.Anyway, there is no law that clearly stipulates that you can wear it, or you can't wear it.Then you must not wear it and have to hand it in.

Fusu was not convinced, what a good suggestion he made!But he won't argue with a farmer like the deputy general, he doesn't have such a real life experience, and it would be pale to say more.

He continued to ask the lieutenant general: "What about firewood? There are so many forests and so many leaves, they are all unowned. They can cut as much as they want."

The lieutenant general continued, "If the young master asks the soldiers to help chop, they may have a winter with firewood this winter."

Fu Su narrowed his eyes and asked, "You mean, they couldn't even burn firewood before?"

The lieutenant general was not frightened by Fusu's small threat, he continued: "That's right, don't talk about winter before, the same goes for the other three seasons, there is not enough firewood to burn."

Su Chen suddenly discovered a problem. For thousands of years, farmers did not have enough firewood.Where there is a mountain, there are many trees on the mountain.In places like the Weihe Plain, there are many forests and weeds on the vast wasteland, all of which can be burned, but farmers still freeze when they should be frozen, and there is no shortage of cold food that they should eat.

So why do farmers make wine in every household?Because no matter how cold the wine is, drinking it can warm your stomach!

Fusu obviously didn't believe the lieutenant general's words, and it wasn't that they were not allowed to cut down those trees.

This time, the deputy general explained without waiting for Fusu to ask questions: "In spring, summer and autumn, farmers work in the fields every day, planting, weeding, fertilizing, catching insects, watering, pinching, etc., and have no time to cut trees."
