The days when I pretended to be a cat in the Forbidden City[Comprehensive]

"Ha Chirp!" Lu An sneezed, he waved his hand to signal that there is no need to worry, rubbed his nose, and then plunged into the endless copywriting.

It's not that he doesn't care about his body, but that sneezing has become a common occurrence for him these days, who made him do something so hateful.

It took the Qin people nearly two months to complete the re-counting of the number of people in Dongjun and the division of land property.And because Zhao Zheng said "all are the heads of Guizhou", so that all the slaves owned by the Wei people also left, which naturally touched the interests of the local Wei people.

The state of Qin did not stipulate how much property the common people could own, but it stipulated the land and building system that could be owned. Therefore, some gentry and wealthy households still in Dongjun had to quickly sell their land under the urging of small officials who came to their door every three days. , or quickly split up to keep as much property as possible.During this period, losses are inevitable.

At the same time, those people in Wei State must seize the time to nominate famous sages in the county to their superiors.Under the deliberate action of the Qin people, the intertwined family powers were basically gathered together, so that the election campaign that everyone thought would be no problem turned into an infighting to beat the dog's brains.

The Wei people said one after another, why recommend your family?Doesn't it work at my house?

In the end, the people of Qin could only helplessly say after watching a few rounds of tearing: Well, well, since you can't decide for yourself, let's vote.Everyone recommends those who think they are talented, and then the whole county has one vote for the election.

Is this fair enough?

It seems to be fair, but don't forget that the current Dongjun is not the twenty cities of Wei State in the past.

The household division system of the Qin State has become polarized in Dongjun County. The fields and real estate owned by the family are determined by the person who decides the door. That is to say, it is also a family. The number of fields is the same.

Under such lures, the people of Wei State naturally actively divided their households.

But Haoqiang is not the case. In order to maintain the deterrence and interests of the main branch, they all try to divide it as small as possible, trying to preserve their strength in this way.

Under the ebb and flow, the number of civilian households is much larger than that of rich households, and these civilians who have been resettled and inserted into various places have no sense of fear for the local tyrants. The final result is Qin 22 There were actually eight dark horses selected as the top names in the county, and most of these dark horses came from ordinary families, not the original "noble" families.

What's even more surprising is that the people of Qin really allowed them to ascend to the post of county magistrate after training them for a period of time to let them understand Qin's official document transmission and management methods.

Although it is only a probationary period, everyone has also agreed that there will be an assessment of "Qin Law" and the review of the county's situation in March. Only after passing can the seal be officially granted.This is also very amazing.

In 22 counties, the people of Qin dared to use the people of Wei to manage them?Aren't they afraid that these county magistrates of Wei State will lead the people of Wei under their rule to unite and rebel?

The local villagers couldn't help shaking their heads, lamenting that these young people were too credulous.But what they didn't know was that related topics had already been discussed in the Sheriff's Mansion.

Are you afraid of rebellion?Of course not.

The county magistrate is in charge of the local people's livelihood, but the management of soldiers and weapons is in the hands of the county lieutenants, and these county lieutenants are all from Qin.

"But it's just a passive defense. Suppressing it by force is the most stupid way. It can only be suppressed for a while but not for a lifetime. The key is to resolve the conflict between us and the Wei people."

The young governor of Dongjun invited Gan Luo, the governor of the county, Meng Tian of the county who asked him this question, and Zhao Zheng, who came to join in the fun, to watch some column charts and pie charts he hung on the screen: There must be three major elements in Fengyun, people, weapons, and reasons, all of which are indispensable."

"That makes sense." Zhao Zheng nodded, glanced at Lu An's thick stack of drawings hanging on the screen, and said with a little excitement in his eyes: "Then brother is already prepared."

His elder brother smiled at him, took a step sideways, unfolded a piece of paper, and fixed it on the screen with a small needle. When everyone looked closely, they saw that it looked like a disc that had been cut into several pieces. 】 Two characters.

Lu An showed everyone the situation of Dongjun copper production after the investigation. After he briefly explained how to read this picture, everyone could see that more than half of the grids were written with " The word "farm tools".

"There are no copper mines in East County, so it is easier to determine the quantity."

Lu An explained: "At present, a large number of confiscated weapons in Dongjun have been recast into agricultural tools, and the rest exist in the form of currency and ritual vessels. Of course, to be on the safe side, we also estimated a part of the hidden copper. Quantity accounts for [-]%. Currency and ritual utensils can be ignored, and the easiest thing to obtain in large quantities is farm tools, but to turn them into weapons again, you need to take them back from the hands of farmers."

He smiled leisurely: "But the movement is not small, and there are people's own wishes in it,"

In the era when copper coins were used as currency, the value of a copper farm tool was, at least, a family's harvest for one or two years.For the farmers who got this tool for nothing, it is almost impossible for them to voluntarily hand it over.

However, the reason why he was completely relieved was not this, but—"If the poly-farm tools are melted and recast, the resulting weapons will have too many impurities and will not be useful."

That's right, the copper weapon itself is an alloy product. During the official refining process, the ratio between the copper water and other metals must be carefully balanced. This is not just boiling it and then pouring it into a mold. So simple.

But now the agricultural tools distributed to the people of the Wei state are obtained by heating weapons confiscated from various places together. If you take it to the battlefield, you are really joking with the lives of soldiers.

If the weapons are confiscated and placed in the warehouse, they are likely to be stolen by others. Now they are cast into farm tools, which can facilitate the production of local people on the one hand, and on the other hand reduce the risk of renewed disputes.

This is another reason why Zhao Zheng proposed the decision to "cast a sword into a plow".

Of course, he didn't make such a decision just because he wanted to comfort the people's hearts or because he wanted to be handsome. As a child raised by Lu An (Yi Ren: ???), he was educated since he was a child that he can kill three birds with one stone and never kill two birds with one stone.

And it was the many benefits of this decision that convinced Meng Ao that the Qin army, which had just captured this place and was in need of repairs, would spend so much effort to collect weapons.

The young man took a step back and slowly unfolded another picture. The top was still a pie chart. He clicked on the two largest pieces in the circle: "Secondly, people."

"Among the registered population of East County, sixty percent are the original population, three are slaves, and one is savage."

The savages here do not refer to the uncivilized mountain people, but the people living outside the city.

Unlike in the relatively peaceful era of later generations, due to the overflow of the city's population and lack of land, some people had to be diverted to live outside the city, so that the situation outside the city was full of villages. In the Warring States Period, people living outside the city wall had no sense of security. It can be said that they may be robbed by foreign troops and bandits at any time.Therefore, in this war-torn era, people who still live outside the city are runaway slaves or poor people. They have no way to enter the city to live normally, nor can they be protected by the defenders.

But this time Qin brought these people under the rule of Dongjun, and after counting the population, they were also allocated land.

Lu An pointed to the [-]% of the new population, "These people got land and freedom because of Qin State. If they are willing to betray Qin State, they must have greater interests."

Lu An counted [-]% of the population again, "Among them, [-]% are ordinary civilians who have not lost their interests, and the remaining [-]%..."

"It's a potential danger." Meng Tian said, "It needs attention."

Several young people nodded, which is understandable.

"Then what's the final reason?" Zhao Zheng looked at the [-]% population outlined by Lu An's vermilion pen, and he smacked his lips. "If these people want to rebel, it's naturally for profit. As long as Dongjun returns to Weiguo , then they can get the original land and hard work, but how can they encourage others to rebel with them?"

"If Dongjun returns to the State of Wei, wouldn't these people who are now civilians have to return to slavery? Are they not that stupid?"

"It's not that stupid, but there are exceptions..." Lu An curled his lips, "Although some people are slaves, they may not necessarily need to farm for a living."

A few young people in the hall frowned. They were young, and they were at the age when they could fight the most. Naturally, they couldn't understand this kind of thing that they would rather be reduced to third-class citizens just for enjoyment.

Lu An didn't intend to raise this issue with these people. This must be an area that they can't understand. How can everyone stand on the same line of thinking when they have different views? The county is generally stable, and the crisis still exists, which may take ten or twenty years to gradually disappear, so be careful, but you don't have to be too careful."

He hooked the corners of his mouth, and his smile was a little determined: "As long as the people have fields, they can see the harvest and see the future, and it will not be easy to cause trouble. At most, they will treat Dongjun as a dry straw hut. Don't give it sparks." gone."

Several young people were slightly taken aback when they heard the words. They felt that Lu An's governance attitude was very different from the education they had received, but they couldn't seem to find any problems in it for a while.I always felt that something was weird, and before they could react, Lu An continued: "So, I'm going to proceed to the second step."

Hearing this, the eyes of several people lit up. The young man stood in the hall, with the corners of his mouth curled up in a pure and elegant manner, but the words he said were extremely lethal.

After solving the problems of being beaten and starving, it is natural to solve the problem of being scolded.

In the Warring States Period, the hidden line between the six countries was: as long as you scold Qin, you are politically correct, as long as you scold Qin with me, then we can be friends.

That's right, it's that annoying.

As the biggest villain in all works, Qin Guo, it is not easy to solve the problem of being scolded.Should Qin people be scolded?Uh, the old Qin people have indeed done a lot of unscrupulous things, but Qin's poor reputation is more or less the result of selling money by word of mouth.

Not to mention the people of Qin, they are still at the forefront of the six countries in terms of meritocracy, emphasizing people's livelihood and equality before the law.But it's a pity that this point is mostly only known in China, and even many old Qin people don't think it's a big deal because of Qin's poor self-promotion ability.

This is impossible!

Lu An felt that, as a county located at the easternmost port of Qin State, directly or indirectly bordering the other four countries, and having good water and land transportation conditions, Dong County should bear part of the important responsibility for publicity.

And his method of publicity is naturally - to promote Qin characters.

And to let the people of Wei State who already have their own culture learn the characters of Qin State, the most important method is naturally to be able to push local officials into Xianyang's recommendation right!

That's right, after Shu County, Dong County also got three places that can be nominated.

After promulgating the decree, Lu An seemed to be able to feel the fierce eyes cast by his colleagues in a short time.But what can he do?If there is no radish hanging, how can we encourage the local people to learn Qin culture?

It’s not old, it’s good if it’s easy to use.

But not long after this order was sent to the county government offices in various places, the county guard's mansion waited for the first official visitor. What is surprising is that the purpose of this person's visit was not to recommend, but simply to support Qin paper at the government office of each county.

Only then did everyone realize that pens and paper, which have become common objects in Qin, are still rare here!

Lu An blinked, and then blinked again, he and Zhao Zheng exchanged a look, both of them were eager to move.

Three days later, Lu An, the prefect of East County of Qin State, issued an invitation card, inviting the last person of insight left in East County to enter the mansion for a talk.All those who received the invitations struggled in their homes for a long time, thinking that this banquet was not a good one, but they had no choice but to go because of their lustful power.

Unexpectedly, when they packed up their hearts and went to the banquet, they saw Lu An, who was dressed in a deep indigo coat and covered with a cloak, came to treat the guests in person. This is simply a very humble attitude towards the guests. .

The young man was crowned with white jade, his eyes were as bright as lacquer, his complexion was fair and he looked very good, he bowed his hands politely when he saw them, and then invited them into a courtyard.

Since it is a courtyard, it is naturally impossible to have orderly seating. The young prefect is very casual, and the guests can only sit freely.Just when their hearts were worried, suddenly an extremely rich and elegant fragrance escaped, which calmed most of their restless hearts.

Everyone looked for incense one after another, and saw that Lu Xiaolang was lighting incense for everyone.

Burning incense to entertain guests is a social culture that has gradually emerged in the five eastern countries over the years, and this young man from the Qin Kingdom is extremely skilled and graceful in making it. Even the incense he chooses is also a fragrance that they have never smelled before. The smoke is inaudible, mixed with the fragrance of flowers and honey, and seems to have a little bit of coldness.

People say that smelling the fragrance can tell a person, just by smelling the fragrance, one can see an elegant man standing on the top of the mountain and playing the piano, the cool wind in the mountain holds up his clothes.

This, this, this fragrance is so elegant and varied, it is really unheard of.

It’s okay if you haven’t smelled it. This is still the era of single-flavored fragrances. The method of crushing various spices to make a fragrance like Lu An has not yet appeared.

Lu An covered the lid of the incense burner, lightly hooked the guqin on the case with his fingertips, and recalled everyone's thoughts with a sound of the piano. He cupped his hands and smiled at the crowd: "An has been here for a while, but because of many things, I haven't visited the door one by one. Sorry."

"Today I invite you to come here, it is not for state affairs, but to cook tea and talk about elegance, you can do as much as you like."
