When attacked and worn as a farmer's daughter-in-law

"...The Shen family will host a banquet tonight. Everyone can attend, and the venue will be in Waigu Square."

"Boom!" Now everyone was smiling even more, and there was a lot of noise in front of the city gate.You know, except when the Shen family recruited people from Linshan County at the beginning, everyone was lucky enough to taste the delicious food. At other times, only a small number of people can eat meat every now and then, and the rest of the people can drink some soup at most. Now, it's the Shen family's banquet, the level is definitely not comparable to before, no matter how one table will have three or five big dishes, thinking of this, everyone swallowed.

Fang Tianlin ignored the high emotions of the people below, turned his head and ordered: "Guan Wen, go and count how much meat you want in total, and then send people to fish in the lake according to the amount, and then report the number of eggs and animal meat to Tang. Steward."

"Steward Tang, how much game can be produced from the farm, if there is not enough, I will send the guards to go get it on the mountain."

……

Soon, Fang Tianlin assigned all the tasks.Fortunately, all the game that could be hunted before was kept in the breeding farm. Otherwise, if the guards were to go hunting in the mountains temporarily, it would be difficult to get them for a while, unless they went deep into the mountains.After all, hundreds of people live in the barren valley, and the wild animals in the nearby forests are either hunted or take the initiative to stay away from the crowd. It is far from easy to hunt wild game.

Fang Tianlin would not make such a decision if he rashly entered the deep mountains for a little food.It's not easy to train a qualified guard, and he doesn't want them to have any unnecessary losses.

There are a lot of people and strength, and in the middle of the afternoon, all the ingredients that need to be used are already in place, and there are all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas, which are better than those of the big families in Linshan County.Look at those seafood, but even the local gentry may not be able to enjoy it, but it is cheaper for people in the barren valley.

Needless to say, mountain products, whether it’s freshly killed game or accumulated before, everyone doesn’t think much of it. At most, they think that the Shen family is generous and willing to let them taste it, but seafood is expensive, and this thing is rich here. Not necessarily available.Although Linshan County is not far from the sea, the road is not easy to travel, it is difficult to bring in goods, and the sales volume is not very large. There are not many merchants who are willing to do seafood business here. Such caravans are not every year. can see.

Landlords and squires are all like this, and the people of Linshan County have no chance to see it. What's more, the Shen family brought over high-quality goods from the sea, which really opened their eyes.

The scene was very lively, Fang Tianlin was drinking some wine and eating fresh game from the river, with a relaxed expression on his face.This table of the Shen family is different from other tables. There are not many seafood products on it, only a few or three items.The tastes of their family are very similar. When there is a choice, they prefer fresh products, and many dry products are dispensable.

"Tianlin, the wine is almost gone." Shen Jiahe accompanied Fang Tianlin for a drink. The inventory they brought from Yunzhou City has bottomed out, and even the local ordinary wine purchased from Linshan County is consumed by strong labor on weekdays. , only a small part remains.

Fang Tianlin is not in a hurry. Alcohol is not a must-have. Previously, strong laborers had to work hard to build the city wall, so he provided them with food and drink. There will be no such good treatment in the future. If you want to live a comfortable life, you can buy it with money. This extra supply is not always available.He didn't want them to form such a concept, it would not be of any benefit to the Shen family.

Most people love leisure and hate work. Who would want to live a hard life when they have a good life?

"Jiahe, how much fruit did we store?"

"There are a lot of dried fruits, but not many fresh fruits. There are almost two warehouses." Shen Jiahe was a little puzzled, thinking of what he just said, and said with bright eyes, "Why are you asking this? Are you going to use fruits to make wine? "

"Well, the banquet will be over later, you can accompany me to the warehouse to have a look."

"Father, the wine doesn't taste good at all." Shen Zhang looked disgusted, his face crumpled when he thought of the bitter taste, and he was not at all interested in the topic his fathers were talking about.

"There's sweet wine, do you want to drink it?" Fang Tianlin lowered his eyebrows softly, trying his best to seduce him.

"Father, you and Daddy brought us to drink before." Shen Bi reminded, "It's a pity that we don't have one at home."

Of course Fang Tianlin knows this, fruit wine is nothing new, there are several kinds in Yunzhou City, but the amount of brewing is not much, and the child is young, so he can't drink too much alcohol, so he can only taste some occasionally.As for rice wine and the like, the sons obviously don't like it very much, at least at their age, they still can't appreciate this kind of taste.

"Father, can I bring you to brew sweet wine?"

"Okay, okay, I want to drink wine!" Shen Zhang was the first to agree.

"Father taught me!" Shen Huang was not very interested in wine, but was eager to try wine making.

"Okay, father will teach you how to make wine." Fang Tianlin readily agreed, and was about to say something when there was a small commotion in front of him.He listened carefully, and vaguely understood five or six points. He couldn't help frowning slightly, and turned his head to the next table and said, "Boss Bai, you send someone to ask what's going on."

"Yes, master." Bai Guanshi put down his chopsticks and immediately asked someone to check the situation.He slandered in his heart that they couldn't stop their mouths with good food and drink. At this time, they actually disturbed the master and the others to eat. It's really shameless.

Soon, the man understood the situation clearly, and whispered the ins and outs of the matter in Guanshi Bai's ear.

"Master Fang, that's how things are." Manager Bai didn't dare to delay, and reported the matter to Fang Tianlin later.

The more he listened, the more Fang Tianlin frowned.The matter was actually not big, no, it should be said that it was just a trivial matter. At one of the tables, a girl picked up some delicious food and ate it herself, but she didn't give it to her brother first, and was reprimanded by the elders.

This kind of thing is too common in the Jing Dynasty, and it is not bad to just scold a few words, and some tempered people will even do it directly.

Fang Tianlin didn't want to get involved in other people's housework, but if left alone, it would not be good for Huangu's development.If Huanggu wants to continue to grow, it needs a lot of manpower. Although the proportion of women in the valley is not high, it is not low, at least accounting for more than one-third. It is a force that cannot be underestimated. Fang Tianlin cannot let it go.

Since a large number of women are to be used, their family status will inevitably be changed. Not only will the power of the husband be affected, but the dignity of the in-laws will also be reduced.

The economic base determines the superstructure. This is true everywhere, even in an obviously patriarchal society like the Jing Dynasty. If we don’t take advantage of the time when there are few people and it is easy to solve it, we will only make it worse in the future. trouble.

If Huang Gu keeps maintaining the current level, Fang Tianlin doesn't want to work hard on it. After all, doing so will shake the foundation of society and cause dissatisfaction among the heads of various families.The problem is that this is unavoidable, the academy will accept all children, regardless of gender, and those who do not have special skills in the future can only do the most inferior labor.

Although there is no distinction between high and low occupations, but the threshold for entry is different, they will naturally be divided into various levels. This is not an artificial division, but a concept that people have formed for a long time.

Just imagine, an industry that requires high investment to enter, and a job that anyone can do, who is more worthy of respect in people's eyes?Obviously, the former must be more respected.

There are not many children in Huanggu, but what Fang Tianlin needs most at present is talents, especially talents in ordnance and biomedicine.Men are better at the former, which is due to differences in preferences between men and women, but the latter is not necessarily the case. If it is completely released, it may even be that women are better. I have not seen that in modern hospitals, the proportion of female doctors is increasing. high?

When women come out to work, the care for the family will naturally be reduced. If they work hard during the day, they will be tossed by their in-laws and husbands after get off work. How can this allow them to concentrate on work?

This kind of conflict can't be eased at all. Fang Tianlin didn't think about it before, but thinking about it now, his brain hurts.Change, must be changed, otherwise it would be too wasteful for all women to stay at home with their husbands and children.To be honest, there are many things where women naturally have an advantage, and Huanggu has a shortage of manpower. If they don't give full play to their expertise, Fang Tianlin might as well be honest and become a rich man in Yunzhou City. Run to the corner of the barren valley?

"What's wrong?" Sensing something was wrong, Shen Jiahe asked in a low voice.

"It's okay." Fang Tianlin put on a smiling face, comforted his daughter-in-law, and then said to Guanshi Wen who was still standing aside, "Don't worry about this matter, you can eat by yourself."

"Yes, master." Wen Guanshi immediately returned to his seat.As the chief steward of Huanggu, he has a very strong ability to perceive words and emotions. He just felt the change in Fang Tianlin's expression just now, but he didn't ask any questions. This is the matter of the masters. Give advice before, nothing about him after that.As a steward, the most taboo is to act on behalf of others.

Apart from such a small episode, on the whole, the banquet tonight was quite a success.

The more people found out, following the Shen family not only would they have soup to drink, they might even be able to eat meat.They have lived half their lives, who has ever seen any master who can be as courageous as the Shen family?There are dozens of banquet tables, not only river fresh game, but also seafood, and the money spent is quite a lot.

Originally, Fang Tianlin planned to look at the fresh fruits stored in the warehouse as soon as the banquet was over, but now, he lost the interest and went home with his wife and children.

As soon as the courtyard door was locked, Shen Jiahe immediately asked: "Tianlin, can we talk now?"

Fang Tianlin didn't intend to hide anything, as soon as Shen Jiahe mentioned it, he uttered all his concerns.

"Tianlin, you don't have to worry about this, just pass on the order, they dare not refuse to listen." Upon hearing this, Shen Jiahe was visibly relieved.

Although this matter is very difficult to deal with outside, each family has its own rules and does not do anything to others. As long as it does not touch the interests of others, they will at most talk behind their backs and will not directly call .

It is even easier in the barren valley. Now not only the city gate has been built, but also a fence around the valley. There are guards patrolling every day. There is a flat river in the barren valley, which can be seen from a long distance. Ask the guards about the sword in their hands if they agree or not.
