Harry Potter’s Morning Light

   Chapter 2207 Flower War (one hundred and sixteen)

The Luyin people call the "snake ring" Orubalus, and in alchemy it is called the Ouroboros. A Luyin who has heard of Greek mythology or Homer's epics likened the meaning of "snake ring" to the meaning of "snake ring". Desseus set off with smugness and returned exhausted physically and mentally.

She likened Odysseus to "the man who stepped on driftwood", but not everyone is like Odysseus, and more ordinary people are like floating grass in troubled times, running around with the wind and currents .

   If monks, Taoist priests, and beggars were the most vulnerable people more than 40 years ago, then these refugees with their families are the new and most vulnerable people. Clan means that they can get the protection of their relatives and the protection of the community. Cantonese people live with their clan, and each clan has a clan ancestral hall, whether they are really the same ancestor or not, as long as they have the same surname.

  After there was an ancestral hall, there was a sacrificial field. This piece of land was shared, and there would be surplus besides the grain used for ancestor worship. These grains were taken out and sold, and converted into silver to be lent to earn interest. If it can be borrowed and repaid normally, then that's fine. If there is something that cannot be borrowed and repaid normally, the small households will rely on more people to collect debts. If they are evenly matched, they will invite an appointment at the ancestral hall and then go out to fight.

If someone is injured, they will be compensated from public expenses for soup and medicine. If they die, they will also receive compensation from their land. If they kill someone in a fight, they will also arrange for someone to take the blame. Therefore, the governor of Guangzhou, Wang Jian, borrowed Song Chen Fan Zhongyan. In order to avoid the emergence of ancestral halls of this kind of association, the establishment of clan chiefs and clan deputy.

  There are also clans and ancestral halls in Jiangnan, but the clans in Jiangnan are very different from those in Fujian and Guangdong. They also have clan fields, but they are used to run free schools to ensure that some poor clansmen can also study. In addition, rewards are also set up. Students who do well in the test can get "He Yin", which is also obtained from the clan field. The rest of the income is set up in social warehouses and righteous warehouses. The aftermath of the people's clan.

   This moral cohesion is different from violence and is a more lasting and effective means of control. Similarly, Jiangnan people attach great importance to water conservancy, and almost equate it with talent training as the foundation of a rich country and a strong people, and the strong cohesion of the clan weakens the control of national laws to a certain extent. The river management method proposed by Sun Zongyi is based on the interests of local forces in Gaoyou. , of course the people of Gaoyou support it, what about Yancheng?

No one wants the sewers, but there are people competing for the irrigation canals. After Gao Jin built diversions at Sheyang Lake and other places, the counties themselves would pick the ditches, whether it was building dams, raising fish and irrigating them, or turning swamps into paddy fields. After all, these squires who have learned water conservancy will mobilize the villagers themselves. It's still an old problem. It's easy to pay, it's easy to find people trouble, and I don't want to pay or work. Instead, I want to take this opportunity to "fight a rake", and the irrigation canal passes through him and needs to be compensated.

   From him, you have to dig a lot more, and the cost will even be doubled. You can ignore this for the time being. In a place where "everything is inferior, but only a high degree of reading", it is difficult to find labor for digging the canal, and a single whip will turn the corvée into silver. This aroused the dissatisfaction of many people, especially the officials and subordinate officials, and then Sun Zongyi was sued to Nanjing.

   Big things can also be brought to court, not to mention this kind of "big case". After two years of trial, the "Lixiao" who sued Sun Zongyi was convicted, but they still refused to execute it. Sun Zongyi found a step by himself, and it was a matter of many years ago that the two of them were equally punished. Later, both of them were sentenced lightly, but it seemed that there was no punishment.

This "li" is mainly about water transportation and has little to do with river engineering. There are even people vying to build the project. Generally, the project materials are bought by the government and handled by the township. The labor cost can be reduced. High labor rate, and then find some refugees and homeless people to work, the difference in the middle is the rural contract.

This is one of the three crimes Zhang Gongchen sued Sun Zongyi. At that time, Sun Zongyi and Zhizhou were the supervisors, and the person who handled the "township contract" was named Gu Jian. on the head.

   He Fu’s daily wages are four cents, and he only pays a few cents. Only refugees can do this kind of hard work with little money. Sometimes refugees even miss work for no reason. What did he do after he was absent from work?

It is difficult to find out who set the fire. If you tell the villagers that the refugees are mixed with bandits of the White Lotus Sect, it will repeat what happened 40 years ago. Therefore, in addition to strengthening the management of Hefu Apart from increasing the inspections of the yamen, there is not much action, and other charges will be made when catching "disorganized party".

  The river husbands are housed in different shanty towns and have little contact with each other. They will leave when they find another way out. The comings and goings are very fluid, and the law and order is more chaotic. "Duckweed" and "Wandering and Uncertain" are just like this. There are also conflicts between refugees with families and those bachelors. During the day, when men go out, only women and children are there, while those homeless people are dressed in rags and follow mobile casinos. They gamble wherever they go, squander when they win, and steal when they lose. If they were arrested by the government, generally no one would care what kind of people they were and where they went.

  Bai Juyi wrote a poem: They are both fallen from the end of the world, why do they know each other when they meet each other.

  Bai Juyi lived after the An-Shi Rebellion. He did not experience the prosperous life that Li Bai lived in, and his poems did not have the immortal spirit of Li Bai, which was more straightforward and easy to understand.

   A carload of charcoal, more than a thousand catties, was only exchanged for a yellow-clothed messenger in a white shirt, half a piece of red yarn and a zhang of silk. In the Tang Dynasty, silk could be used as currency, and this amount of money was simply not enough. This is not called Ming robbery, but this is the "palace and market system" that only lives at the "foot of the emperor", but when the Manchus entered the customs, it was changed to a horse staking, and the staking did not stop until the 24th year of Kangxi. , including some landlords, have become refugees in exile.

The enclosure movement in the early Qing Dynasty and the British enclosure movement were completely two different movements, so even if they had to flee, the refugees would not go to Zhili, but were refugees from Zhili, not only Qianlong knew about it, but ordinary people as well. Know that Jiangnan is a good place, and it keeps flowing into Jiangnan.

  The south of the Yangtze River is good, and the scenery is old. In the sunrise, the flowers are more red than the fire, and in spring the river is as green as blue. Can you not remember Jiangnan?

The time seems to have returned to more than 40 years ago, that is, when Qianlong's 33rd year of calling the soul case occurred. After that year, Heshen and Juren participated in the imperial examination titled "Ji Meng" in the palace examination. exam.

The "Dream of Huangliang" occurred in the period of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. The scholar who was rushing for the test woke up, and the Huangliang cooked by the boss was not cooked. Maybe He Shen "woke up" and found out that he did not marry the daughter of a scholar, nor did he become a powerful person. In the middle hall, he is still the shabby banner man who lived in the donkey meat alley, and there may be one more thing, he failed the list.

  The house leak happened to be raining overnight. He still has a young brother. How will he live in the future?

But he is still young, unlike Juren, who is still living in this dream. Forty years have passed and his blue hair has turned white. He is like Odysseus who has returned from a trip, and his years have been spent in the "snake ring". .

   He is in the same place, and it is not like he is in the same place, because he has never been to Jiangnan, and it is a completely unfamiliar place to him. Logically, he should write a poem at this time to express his feelings at this time, but he couldn't write a single word. After all, he is no longer a teenager who "falls in love with a story and talks about his sorrow for writing new words".
