Ding Tian's Ancient Life

As a modern person, I don't have much feeling for "nobility" and "title". Only money is the most important thing. With this money, I feel that my work is not in vain.

Wang Zuo told him again: "You have to wait for someone from the Ministry of Rites to confirm your appointment as a knight. Don't make too much publicity now. You are not a captain of Yunqi."

"Oh, I understand!" Ding Tian looked at him: "I'm preparing now, and I can only put the Lord's money after receiving the honor, right?"

"Smart." Wang Zuo said: "This title is different from being promoted. You are awarded a title based on military merit, although you can only pass this title down to one generation... you don't want to find a woman to marry and have children?"

"If you treat me badly, I don't want you anymore. If you treat me well, I won't look for you!" Ding Tian told Wang Zuo very realistically: "Even if you are a prince, I will ask you to treat me well. Not good for me...or what if you got a wife?

Ding Tian's eyes widened, it's very possible!

He feeds the whole family by himself, not to mention he is a grassroots class, Wang Zuo is a prince!

Such a huge palace, and the hat of hereditary replacement, could it be ruined in his hands like this?Also, there is a younger brother born to his stepmother in his palace... Ding Tian is a little unsure, when Wang Zuo's time comes, the red flag at home is fluttering, so why not go crazy with his green flag outside?

"I won't." Wang Zuo looked at Ding Tian seriously: "I will take care of the son's matter, you... how about you?"

"Me?" Ding Tian said very calmly: "I can adopt my uncle's younger brother's child, or the same family, but I want to adopt my uncle's younger brother's son... In short, I will not marry this...any woman For a wife."

What he actually wants to say is that "in this era" women are wives.

To be honest, he doesn't even know what to say to others after he gets married?

Because according to the rules of this period, before a man and a woman get married, they can see each other because their parents are enlightened and magnanimous. It is basically a "blind marriage". Before entering the bridal chamber, the couple has no emotional foundation. Awkward?

And after getting married, all kinds of things...he can't accept it, for example, anyone who has a little money must take concubines, and the housewife in the backyard even takes care of this, as if it is not virtuous and virtuous not to give the master a concubine... ... Ding Tian hates three wives and four concubines the most.

This gave him a feeling of being "above and aboveboard" in supporting the third, fourth and even fifth and sixth children.

Too shameful, can't stand this.

Although he has tried his best to adapt to everything in this era, he still can't adapt to certain things. For example, he can't stand not taking the lives of servants seriously; there is also the system of monogamy and multiple concubines.

"I do not know either."

The two of them had agreed that they would neither find a woman nor marry a wife.

Well, after explaining clearly, it seems that they are more in love with each other.

Then Wang Zuo told Ding Tian something: "Since you have a title, you can build an ancestral hall in your hometown after receiving the title."

"Oh?" Ding Tian's eyes lit up: "Yes!"

According to ancient regulations, there is a limit to the level of construction of ancestral halls, and folks are not allowed to build ancestral halls.In Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, "Xu folks all united and established temples". Later, only the surnames that had been emperors or feudal lords could be called "family temples", and the rest were called ancestral halls.

The size of the ancestral hall also depends on the identity of the ancestors.

Common people, even if they come to a three-room brick and tile house, and two east and west wing rooms, it will be good.

For a family with Juren, it is already against the sky to have a small courtyard with a second entrance and hang a certain family's ancestral hall.

A family with Jinshi can have a large courtyard with three Jinshi. In addition to hanging "Ancestral Hall of a certain family", a plaque of "Jinshi Jiji" can also be hung in the courtyard of the second Jinshi.

It would be even better if it was the No. [-] pick, No. [-] pick, or No.

But a family with a title can build a grand ancestral hall.

And the ancestral hall has many purposes.

In addition to the purpose of "worshiping the ancestors and worshiping the ancestors", the grandsons of each house usually use these spacious ancestral halls for activities when they handle weddings, funerals, birthdays, and celebrations.

In addition, relatives sometimes use the ancestral hall as a gathering place to discuss important affairs within the clan.

"I'll make a note for you on this matter, and the Ministry of Rites will naturally send someone to design the blueprint for you. You just need to build it according to the blueprint." Wang Zuo said: "Now that the reward has come down, we should go back to Fucheng."

"Well, it's time to go back." They have been out for more than a month, and they wanted to spend a good New Year's Eve at home, and spent the first month, but they were attacked by the enemy and fought, and it was very noisy.

But in the end, there was another disagreement on how to deal with the captives.

According to the practice in the army: it is most appropriate for these captives to kill the sacrificial flag.

The second is massacres. In order to show the strength of the army and make the enemy fearful, the supply of the own side is not enough, beliefs, etc., it will often occur.

Na Jiang is ranked third.

And generally this is aimed at some regular troops or rioters. Most of the foreign enemies are recruited as slaves, and they are used as strong men to build some large buildings, build fortifications, transport supplies, and so on.

But people on the prairie, how can they do this?

Asking them to transport supplies is afraid that they will run away halfway!

The rest is dismissal, this is the insistence of civil servants.

Replenishment of soldiers is not enough, if they are not of my race, their hearts must be different!

Wang Zuo, General Gundam, and Wang Yu discussed with them for a long time, but failed to come up with a Ziwu Maoyou. Among them, the military wanted to kill the sacrificial flag, which is the most deterrent way to the enemy, and also wanted to build a base on the grassland Build a "Jingguan" with human heads!

"Killed? Why?" Ding Tian disagreed: "They were all human lives, and more than 1 young and strong people were lost on the grassland.

, aren't their people in a hurry?Let them send people to negotiate, one young and strong two cows, or fifteen sheep, or not?If you don't change it, you will sell it to a rich family as a laborer!If you change it, just follow this price tag, why don't you want the real benefits? "

"Is this... okay?" General Gundam and the others didn't think about it at all.

They are all soldiers, they used to be used to killing, and they offered prisoners or something, but this time they won a complete victory!

"Those officials are all the heads of their tribe, right?" Ding Tian said with a smirk: "Their territory, pastures, cattle and sheep, women and children, slaves and so on, are probably also fled back. After the division is over, tell me, if they go back...won't they make a fuss?"

Only if there is no rest on the grassland, their side will be stable.

This is a very realistic comparison. If the enemy is in chaos, how can they be in the mood to fight Caogu here?

"That's right!" Joining the army clapped his hands: "And their power transfer is very fast. Whoever has the strength is the boss. Those little bosses originally had territory and people, but they will be gone after returning...Who would be willing?"

The little boss will also have some hardcore supporters, otherwise how to manage the tribe?

Prairie wolves have a cruel and cold-blooded personality, and if they make a mistake, they will slash each other with a knife.

"Those heads and so on, if no one on the grassland comes to redeem them, the king will pay the price of one sheep per person to redeem them, and give some captives for free, and send them back." Wang Zuo was even more ruthless: "When the time comes, Let them take back what they have lost with their own knives!"

The captives were dealt with in this way. Naturally, there were people on the grassland who had a way to communicate with each other. If the two big tribes who were defeated and retreated ignored them, who would dare to come to the border with them to fight Caogu in the future?

And it's not a secret. Because of the pressure of survival on the grassland, many tribes may not look like the same nationality, but they are different from each other, and they are particularly on guard against each other.

Whoever's tribe is weak, there will be other strong tribes to carve up this weak tribe immediately. Otherwise, Bamu of the Bayan tribe will not be so angry. His tribe is young and strong, but the cattle and sheep are still there. Become a fat sheep in the eyes of others.

So when the news came, he was the first to believe it!

And it was the Daqing businessman he was familiar with who sent the news.

The businessman came here this time as a special envoy of the government, and he was very eloquent: "Master Bamu, think about it, is there a time when your Bayan tribe has fewer than fifty thousand empty strings? It seems that Sestu is a wicked ghost, why don't he go to fight the grass valley by himself? If he insists on pulling you, this time it will be fine, it's not worth the loss of soldiers and generals!"

"At that time, I didn't know that the other side of the border would be ready..." In fact, they also wanted to get a bargain at that time, not to mention that it was winter, and the tribe really couldn't survive, so they thought about going to Caogu.

"Then he didn't invite other tribes?" The businessman said eloquently: "How did his Battle tribe get up? It's nothing more than eating a small tribe and growing himself. If at this time, he comes to swallow the Bayan tribe What? The Bayan tribe is a well-known ancient tribe on the grassland..."

Immediately, Bamu broke out in a cold sweat!

This is a pit!

He was tricked by that bastard Sestu!

At this time, he thought even more. If the Bayan tribe was weak, Sestu would definitely not let go of this good opportunity. He never let go of any slightly weaker tribe back then.

The division of forces on the grassland is very cruel. Whoever has more soldiers and generals will occupy a large territory. Whoever raises more cattle, sheep and horses, and more women and children will have future development strength. Whoever has the largest yurt will be able to be Khan, it's that simple.

"Okay! I want the captives!" Bamu gritted his teeth: "1 people!"

"My lord, if you want 1 people, then you need to prepare 50 cows and [-] sheep." The businessman suddenly said loudly: "This is [-] ready-made young men, who can be used as soldiers when they come back." Kind of."

"Isn't this...too expensive?" Bamu thought about it, he really didn't have that many sheep, and he didn't have that many cattle.

"It's not expensive, it's not expensive anymore. According to our general's calculation, you will need at least 100 cattle and [-] million sheep!" The businessman boasted wildly: "But we have a good relationship, and I am happy to give you a discount. [-] cows is enough, you can give more cows, preferably with cubs, and when you get to the place, the cubs will also come down, you can fill one..."

After bargaining, Bamu decided to use 40 cattle, including [-] pregnant cows and [-] sheep, to redeem his soldiers.

The businessman smiled like a flower and praised Bamu: "As expected of the oldest tribe, look at this family, and tell you the truth, the above said to talk to you, or to talk to Sestu, but I didn't think about Sestu. Tu, his tribe is so poor, can they have such a big money?"

Sestu's tribe seems to be expanding rapidly, but in fact, the foundation is not very strong, otherwise they would not have suffered a white disaster, and they would not even have the ability to resist, so they would have to go to Caogu, and he also knew that he had to work hard Some, that's why Bamu was brought together, who knew that less than half of the 10 people came back, plus he failed to fight the grass valley and suffered heavy losses...

"What good things does his tribe have!" Bamu said with disdain, "It would be nice to have [-] head of cattle, and half of the sheep will freeze to death..."

As neighbors, we know each other too well. Bamu looks down on Sestu because Sestu is very fastidious. After annexing a tribe, all the men who are taller than the wheels are cut off, and the old people and women are not wanted. ... He only needs a child who is young and strong, and a child who is not taller than a wheel, and he can be a soldier for him when he grows up in the future.

After the businessman left, Bamu's subordinates were unconvinced: "Give them so much, what are we left with?"

"What do you know? People are the most important thing!" Bamu touched his chin, his eyes shone with cruel light: "We have no cattle and sheep, but we have soldiers, so we can go back and grab Sestu!"

The ice and snow on the grassland have not yet melted, but someone has stirred up the situation...
