Days are everlasting

After officially entering the country, Ji Bofu saw a different world.

Most of the nobles in Zongzhou had many identities, such as Zheng Gongyou, the younger brother of King Xuan, the uncle of the current king, the Duke Zheng who assisted Zongzhou, and the king of Zheng.

But among the feudal states of the princes, their most important status is only the "king".

When Ji Bofu came to the country, the scene was extremely grand, and the king of Zhou went to practice it in person, bestowing jade, chariots and horses, and most importantly, the inscription "The Book of Songs Daya King Wen".

"Wen Wang" is the first chapter of "Wen Wang Zhi Shi" in the "Book of Songs Daya" series of poems. It describes the virtues of Wen Wang.

Seeing the golden tripod, Ji Bofu was almost blinded.

The Jiuding, which was enshrined as a god by the royal family of Zhou, has been passed down from the Xia Dynasty to the present. Because of the wind and frost, it has long since lost the gold that was originally made of bronze, an "alloy", but the blue color that is generally recognized by later generations, but Ji Bo It can be seen from the color that the tripod of service is a fresh product created urgently.

The tripod is a ritual vessel, and the number and types of ritual vessels used by nobles at different levels are different due to their ranks.

The bronze casting technology of this era has matured, but casting tripods is still different from other bronze castings.

The tripod is a sacrificial vessel, and the sacrificial vessel in the bronze ware is called "auspicious gold". Because the tripod is a symbol of national power, it is also called "heavy vessel".

Objects that need to be treated with such solemnity are naturally not cast casually.

Nowadays, if there is something special to remember, the nobles will cast a tripod and record it specially. In other words, there is no special thing, and they will not cast a tripod casually.

Zong Zhou's most recent cast tripod was to publicize that "under the wise leadership of Zhou Wang Ji Gongzhen, the allied forces of the princes defeated the dog army and won another precious victory in the foreign war."

It can be said that Zong Zhou’s tripod, like the oracle bone inscriptions of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, is a major historical record in disguise, but compared with the businessman’s “everything has a big event, it must be prayed for”, Zong Zhou’s tripod records may not have so many major events. .

As the proof that Ji Bofu received the title of Xuanhou, the inscription on the tripod he received should be something like "Ji Bofu, the son of a certain king in a certain year and month, was granted the title of Xuanhou, how many cities he was granted, and what responsibilities he took on." , by no means should be a simple "Book of Songs Daya King Wen".

Ji Bofu was very calm, it was nothing more than that the father had smoked again, and wanted to show his special status through a distinctive inscription.

But other people don't think so. After all, smart people always think a lot. Even if they don't think much, they will think of certain aspects under the influence of caring people.

The original purpose of Nanshen was to serve as an important military base to guard the south. Who knew that the southern countries that Zong Zhou had guarded against were not chaotic, and they stabbed a knife in the back first, which is also very emotional.

Nanshen had only been established for two generations, and there were not many blood-born officials enfeoffed. For the sake of his son, Ji Gongyan simply drove everyone to Xieyi.

Regarding the result of this treatment, others have to praise the king for his generosity.

Ji Bofu's current manpower was assigned to him by Ji Gongyan from Zong Zhou Wang Ji.

After becoming a feudal lord, Ji Bofu felt that it was not so difficult to accept, since he was also the emperor of one side after all!

His father just thought too much, always felt that only the crown prince was worthy of him.

Ji Bofu is a marquis, his crown is seven, and the number of badges on his crown is also seven.

When he was the prince, the number of crowns was nine, and nine silks were nine beads. After changing to seven, Ji Bofu said that although he still covered his eyes, he was clearer than before.

Within Xuanguo, the Zhou law was implemented first, and the official system was divided into officials such as politics, rites, punishment, education, and governance. In short, it was a clear version of the "six officials" system of the Zhou Dynasty.

The etiquette officer in charge of etiquette is of course clearer than Chunguan Zongbo in the "Six Officials" of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Although he understands the official system of this era, Ji Bofu, who is still familiar with the official positions of later generations, is still very disappointed.

Where are his notes?Do you have to quietly record the positions and ranks of each person in the court every time before the court?

Of course, even if his notes are still there, it's useless, after all, he's been appointed as a feudal state, and everything has to start all over again.

Because Da Zhou practiced the system of nobles and nobles, as long as Ji Bofu needed someone, his father would be able to find a large number of relatives with close or distant relationships for him.

According to the official system, the Huben clan is in charge of the soldiers, the Jiefu clan is in charge of the mianfu, and the eunuchs issue orders on major state affairs to the outside world and relay the reports of the princes. These are all official positions in the royal capital. All the talented people packed it for their son.

The eldest sons of these families cannot be taken away, aren't there other sons?

According to Shilu Shiqing's rules, children who are not the eldest son can also get official positions, but instead of inheriting them as they are, they are downgraded to inherit the title, so there is no need to worry about raising people and abolishing them.

If the talent is really outstanding, it is not uncommon for him to be promoted later.

Ji Bofu, as the beloved son of the current king, is the golden thigh in the eyes of many people.

In fact, I really want to create a Ji Bofu who "reduces talents without sticking to one pattern": ...haha.

When the position is not stable, even if you make a scene in your own country, you will be criticized to death.

Ji Bofu has not forgotten the lesson of his great-grandfather, King Zhou Li.

Therefore, Ji Bofu did not touch any sensitive aspects such as politics and military affairs. What he wanted to touch was farming.

People depend on food, and in this era, the foundation of a country's prosperity is land, food, and economy.

Up to now, people still use tools such as shovels and shovels - a tool similar to a pickaxe - and even ox farming has not been popularized on a large scale, and the level of productivity is extremely low.

Although nominally the Great Zhou used the well field system, since the middle of the Western Zhou Dynasty, there have been princes and nobles secretly reclaiming private fields-this kind is not taxed-now, it is almost the Spring and Autumn Period, and history is about to open a new chapter. The land system is actually already in disrepair.

But, again, half a step faster than others is a genius, and one step faster is a lunatic, and the system reform has to be postponed, and we can't start it so early, that would be too impulsive.

What Ji Bofu wants to do is to innovate the use of farm tools.

This kind of thing that is easy to spread and can add a glorious history to his resume is what he needs now.

Before time travel, Ji Bofu studied literature instead of history. As for farm tools, he only remembered that he had passed the test in his high school history textbooks. They were all innovations that occurred after the development of social productive forces to a certain extent.

After thinking about it carefully, Ji Bofu can only think of "Quyuanli".

Qu Yuanli, as the name suggests, the shaft is curved, so before that, there may be straight Yuanli.

Ji Bofu doesn't care about this, he doesn't care about the straight ones, for the Western Weekend New Year—of course, his father has escaped death, and according to history, it is already the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period—for Xi Zhou New Year—— It is a shocking innovation of agricultural tools!

However, the problem is...

"Do you know what a plow is?" Ji Bofu asked the haggard man.

A man is also a kind of official, as long as he is responsible for dealing with craftsmen, although the responsibility is to pay the craftsmen and other things, he can be regarded as an expert anyway!

Fortunately, this expert did not disappoint Ji Bofu, he really knew something.

The problem is, Ji Bofu doesn't understand the terminology.

This is so embarrassing.

Even if he knew what the commonly used farm tools were called, he didn't know what they looked like, let alone how to use them!

There was no other way, the man could only explain it to Ji Bofu in detail.

In the beginning, farmers used only a pointed wooden stick for tilling the soil, which was extremely inefficient when used, and it was difficult to insert into the soil, and it was easy to get tired after a long time.

Later, in order to facilitate the insertion of wooden sticks into the soil, farmers added a short horizontal piece of wood to the pointed end and tied it with a rope, which made it easier to step on or push into the soil than before.

And this is the earliest agricultural tool - Lei.

Later agricultural tools were developed on the basis of Lei, such as a share with a square thin plate tied to the lower end of Lei, and a shovel for shoveling soil and weeding.

The so-called plow is to add some structures to the previous farm tools. If the description is not so accurate, it is to add an obtuse-shaped part behind the share that can be pushed behind.

In the transitional stage from plow to plow, coupled plowing appeared. The only difference between coupled plowing and plowing was that people at that time used ropes instead of new parts that could be fixed and manufactured at the same time.

The plow appeared in the last years of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, and gradually began to be popularized in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but it was not very effective, and the popularity in remote areas was not high.

Moreover, according to the well field system implemented in Da Zhou today, it does not require particularly advanced farming methods, and farmers can farm well.

The richer vassal states are now letting farmers use oxen to plow the land. The plowing method is quite good, but there are not many vassals who can afford to raise cattle and let the farmers under their rule plow the public land. Even if they are willing to promote it, I am afraid they will It is only carried out in some important places in the vassal states.

As for why the haggard man next to Ji Bofu knew...

First of all, Da Zhou's official position belongs to Shilu Shiqing, and he has been influenced by his ears and eyes, so he will naturally understand the professional content.Moreover, the princes need to report the domestic situation to Zong Zhou, and the emperor of Zhou needs to make a ruling on important matters. As long as he is willing to collect, Zong Zhou's royal capital can receive important developments in the princes' kingdom.

Of course, in view of being able to be sent to Ji Bofu's side, he is definitely not the eldest son of the family Xijue, but he is so self-motivated, it can be seen that Ji Gongyan put a lot of effort into choosing a candidate for his son.

Ji Bofu: Really amazing, my father.

The author has something to say: The following is the popular science time:

Lei, pronounced lei, the second tone.

Haggard person's haggard, gao three times.

The main popularization period of cattle plowing was the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and plow plowing was fully popularized in the Han Dynasty. However, according to textual research, the plow already existed in the Yin and Shang Dynasties. It is nothing more than a matter of popularity.In the Warring States period, like the Qin State, it was very good to popularize cattle farming, and the six kingdoms of the Kanto were science and technology.

This is the plow:

After checking the entire development history, I feel like I'm dead Orz
