The days when I pretended to be a cat in the Forbidden City[Comprehensive]
Chapter 53 Great Chinese Chapter
"Your Highness!" Seeing the situation like this, A Ru immediately knelt down, the girl trembled, and her address was changed to the word "slave" to clarify her status.
"I beg your Highness to be clear, this is the slave's fault alone, it is the slave's greed, so he concealed his identity, Ah Qing is still young, he doesn't know anything, please blame the slave if you want to blame it, it's all the fault of A Ru .”
Xia Anran didn't look at her, his gaze fell on Wei Yu all the time, after Wei Ru pleaded guilty, Wei Wei's slender shoulders trembled, but she didn't get up, and she didn't give any response, as if she didn't hear .
"Sister!" Seeing her sister kneeling down, Wei Qing naturally couldn't sit still, he hurriedly ran over to A Ru and bowed down.The child has been studying with Liu Zhi for several months, and his posture is also extremely good-looking. His figure lying on the ground is like a fledgling bird resting with its wings folded.
Wei Qing saluted and prostrated, his eyes were sincere, and he said in his mouth: "Your Highness, sister is Qing's family member. Although Qing is young, he vaguely remembers that Qing would not have survived without sister. Sister made a mistake, and Qing Naturally, we have to share the burden, and please don't just blame sister."
Xia Anran frowned, he couldn't understand what was going on with this family, especially after several children from the Wei family knelt down in front of him one after another, the little king felt like Huang Shiren standing in front of a group of cabbages.
"Your Highness," Dou Wan, who was on the sidelines, knew that he did not understand when he saw his appearance, so he got up and whispered in his ear, "The Wei family is a slave."
Xia Anran suddenly realized.
He waved his sleeves and returned to his seat, "Get up and talk first."
As soon as he gave the order, the Wei family naturally obeyed. They all stood up and nodded, their faces were extremely frightened. The little king rested his chin on one hand and looked at the frowning Liu Xie, "Hey!"
From Liu Zhi's point of view, that little expression was not to mention bitterness and hatred.
Xia Anran was amused by this expression, he beckoned Liu Zhi to sit beside him, told the story in a low voice, and finally asked Liu Zhi: "If Ah Qing is a slave, do you still want him?"
"Of course!" Liu Zhi said with certainty, "Ah Qing is Ah Qing, and it has nothing to do with his hometown!"
Xia Anran nodded.
Thanks to Dou Wan's reminder, he realized the crux of the matter.
Wei Qing was selected by Liu She as a son of a good family, not as a slave, that is to say, he concealed his identity and became Liu She's companion, even though he was completely innocent in this case, but outsiders don't think so .The problem of deceiving the royal family can be big or small, it all depends on how the deceived master thinks.
The problem is that Liu Zhi is still a child, so he has nothing to say about this matter, it depends on what the guardian wants.
It is impossible not to recognize Wei Wei, Wei Qing, Wei Ru's appearance has not changed much since she came here, the face of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl has basically been fixed, someone will definitely recognize her in the future, Recognizing her, is it still far from recognizing Wei Qing?
It would be fine if Wei Qing was unknown all his life, but Wei Qing is a great general.If this matter is carried out, and he does not recognize his mother for the sake of his identity, I am afraid that because of this, he will be scolded to death in a big man who governs the country with filial piety.
For the good of her son and daughter, Wei Wei didn't recognize them, because she couldn't think so far. This woman is very smart, and she is cruel enough to herself.
Thinking about it, she was able to send her young son directly to his father's side for Wei Qing's future, and now she can willingly break this relationship for the sake of her son and daughter.
In her vision, as long as her son lives a peaceful life and has a job to support himself, it is natural that he cannot think of the hidden worries behind this move.
The matter is actually not difficult to solve, as long as Liu She agrees.
Xia Anran looked around at the several Wei family members who were standing below, and said with downcast eyes: "A Ru has made great achievements in this king's invention of the perfect silk tapestry. This king will write to Pingyanghou to tell Ping Yanghou about getting her out of slavery. Ah Qing Since it's Xi'er's accompanying reading..."
"I'll talk to Marquis Pingyang, too." Liu She also nodded, his elder sister was going to marry Cao Shou soon, Cao Shou naturally wouldn't mind taking off a child's face.
"As for you..." Xia Anran was a little embarrassed.
Frankly speaking, it is not difficult to get rid of citizenship. In fact, the two vassal kings can handle it directly, but he also has concerns.
Wei Ru did not remain famous in history. Wei Qing is still young, and when he grows up, it will affect the course of history. It is estimated that his mission should be completed, but the situation of these few people is different.
Especially Wei Shaoer and Wei Zifu.
The second sister Wei is Huo Qubing's father whom she met in Pingyang Hou's mansion, and Wei Zifu was recommended to Liu Zhi by Princess Pingyang. Therefore, the relationship of Pingyang Hou is very important.
Faced with the embarrassment of the little king, the members of the Wei family immediately said that His Highness should not worry about it. "Slaves are useless, so it's not easy to get out of school," Wei Wei said softly.She has already wiped away the tears on her face. As a woman who has raised several good-looking children, she is undoubtedly beautiful.At this time, she brought a few children and knelt down again: "Your Highness and His Highness King Jiaodong's kindness, I will always remember it in my heart."
"Get up!" Xia Anran sighed, patted Liu She on the shoulder, and said, "Since that's the case, Wei Ru and Wei Qing will stay with me, and Ah Qing will follow him. Let Ah Qing go find you."
Naturally none of them objected, Xia Anran said to Wei Qing, who still had a dull expression: "Ah Qing won't have to accompany you for a few days, and go to accompany your family."
"Your Highness Qingxie." The child hurriedly bowed down, Xia Anran slightly raised his hand to signal him to get up, Qing Xiaodouding looked at Xia Anran with sparkling eyes, and his big eyes were full of joy.
This look made Xia Anran's heart melt, and his heart softened, so he took another step back: "After the autumn harvest, let's go back to Chang'an with the truck from Zhongshan Kingdom."
With a swipe of his hand, he directly gave the teenager nearly two months of vacation.Now Liu Zhi is not happy, he is not happy if he can't see his little friend for three months!
Xiao Douding's eyes were as harmless as a dove's, and now they were full of grievances and incomprehensions.
"Brother, can't you play with Ah Qing?"
Xia Anran: ...
Okay, you are a big baby and you have the final say!
==
In the autumn of the fifth year of Yuan Dynasty before Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, the autumn harvest in Zhongshan was gradually carried out from south to north.
The port building activities in the south stopped half a month earlier, which gave the servants enough time to go home and prepare.At the same time, in order to encourage the autumn harvest, banners and slogans were posted all over the villages, such as "Plant one grain of rice in spring, harvest ten thousand seeds in autumn" and "Today's effort is tomorrow's reward" all shouted loudly.
In addition, the collection of straws in Zhongshan is still going on this year, mainly last year's straws, and this year's fresh straws are also collected, but the price is lower, and they must be neatly tied.
Although the farmers were very puzzled as to why the little king even accepted the fresh ones this year, it was of course unspoken that His Highness gave benefits.Especially this year, Shenze County has paved the road, which can benefit many counties and towns along the way.
But even so, some villages still choose to burn excess straw, especially fragmentary straw.This thing is really difficult to transport and take care of. It is hard and livestock do not like to eat it.It will not rot after throwing it in the field for a while, so the villagers usually set it on fire directly. After the ashes are burned, it will be plant ash, which can also fertilize the field.
But this year, when everyone is drying the grain, they have sent out a few methods that can be used to make fertilizer, which can let the farmers talk about it.
If the amount is not large, it can be thrown into the pigsty as bedding. Frequent replacement can keep the pigsty clean. Occasionally, pigs will chew on two relatively fresh poles to grind their teeth.The fibers of the rice stalks that have been repeatedly trampled by the pig's hooves will be destroyed, and the various excrement of the pigs on it will be easily fermented when piled up, and it will be a very good organic ammonia fertilizer.
If the amount is really too large, you can try to cut the fresh straw and throw it in the tank for sealed fermentation to make cattle feed.
The point of attention is that it must be stepped on and must be sealed.It can be opened in about two days in hot weather. If it is moldy, it will be considered a failure. If it smells sour, you can try to give it to the cows. If they are willing to eat it, it will be considered a success.
Even if it fails, it’s okay, these can be composted together with those pulled from the pigsty.
There is no need to worry about whether it will be so-so. If this thing fails, you will know it by smelling it. There will never be anything like feeding bad grass to cows.
other animals?Other animals are not very edible, so you can give some in small amounts. After all, not everyone has four iron stomachs like a cow.
If such a pass of rice stalks has not been consumed, it can still burn fire dung.Fire dung know?It's the one that His Highness vacated, oh, don't you believe it, our Highness has found the heir of the farm family, do you know that?These are all researched by farmers!
Hundreds of schools of thought were screened in the pre-Qin period, and many of them were eliminated in the Qin-Han war. The peasant family belongs to a group struggling on the verge of elimination.
As a school of thought that focuses on peasants, the peasant family is quite well-known among peasants.
As soon as the little king invited scholars from the farm, the villagers gathered together to discuss.
"Farm family! After the Shennong family, you can grow quickly by planting a field!"
"Oh oh oh! So amazing! If the Huns come...hehe."
"Tsk, I don't understand. Farmers have a unique technique called Scattering Beans into Soldiers. They have secret methods to grow soybeans. Just blow one breath and you can..."
A few farmers with hoes, rakes and sickles, sun hats and towels hanging around their necks walked slowly past these people, and the whole team was silent.
After a long time, a little Douding who picked up a bamboo pole finally couldn't hold it back, he raised his head suspiciously and asked the older senior brother beside him: "Senior brother..."
The latter pressed his sun hat, and replied very skillfully: "We will not cast beans into soldiers, and we are not after Shennong. Shennong is just our ancestor."
"……Oh."
At this moment, a few farmers walked past them, and the young man clearly heard those people saying, "The silage that the farmer made is so useful, my wife found out that there is no need to do it at all." What kind of jar, just dig a hole, throw it in and seal the top tightly, but when you open it, the smell is really..."
"Hahaha... You did it wrong, right? If it was done successfully, it would smell good. I even took my dog to dig it up. Once the dog smelled it and escaped, I stopped digging it and let it rot there. "
"Hey, your idea is really good! By the way, where did your dog come from? I use a bucket of rice, don't you?"
"Fuck off you, I got this dog from the dog farm with great difficulty. You know that the dogs in the dog farm have old noses. My family failed the exam and was eliminated, but every time I hide money from my house, I can get it." If it finds it, my wife will love it!"
"Hahahaha, then you still keep it, why don't you hurry up and cook it!"
"That can't be done. This dog is easy to use. I'm still waiting for the next time the dog farm eliminates the bitches to breed."
"Ouch, that puppy has to be left for me."
"Hey, it's a farmer's family, but they can even raise dogs..."
……
"...Brother?"
"No, we didn't develop pasture, and we didn't raise dogs." The farmer who was carrying a hoe interrupted Xiao Douding directly, "Okay, don't worry about this, did you recite the jingle that I asked you to recite yesterday? "
"I recited it." Xiao Douding curled his lips. The senior brother is very bad, and he always uses the people's homework as a shield when he says something bad.O my lord!
Xiao Douding didn't know that his senior brother could be worse, "Learn it from me."
"!!!" The child's cheeks puffed up, he took a deep breath and took a step forward, purposely shouting loudly beside his senior brother, "Clouds face rain, snow faces wind, evening sunshine faces clear sky."
His senior brother didn't move at all, just poked Xiao Douding's head back with his free hand.The child whimpered and continued to memorize it boredly. The onlookers saw this group of farmers who only thought they were returning from the fields. They also saw that most of them were young and middle-aged. The children were clever and cute and could recite books. They thought they were a family with a big business. , and cast a few envious glances.
How did they know that these disheveled men were agricultural students who were boasted by the little king of Zhongshan to be miraculous and omnipotent.
The farmers whose tiger skins were lifted were very distressed. On the one hand, their reputation was unprecedentedly prosperous in Zhongshan, which is extremely rare nowadays.
The sense of existence of the spring and autumn farmhouses was extremely reduced after they were transferred to the Han Dynasty. Although the Han government encouraged farming and mulberry farming, they were more free and unrestrained than the regular and effective planting of the farmhouses because of the advocacy of Huang Lao. Moreover, the gradually prosperous commerce and Confucianism among the people were both make them very uncomfortable.
Confucianism pays less attention to merchants and farmers, and emphasizes etiquette, and the farmers themselves come from the bottom of the society, and they are not full of food. Where does the etiquette come from?Therefore, in the view of Confucianism, they belong to the kind of ordinary people who "have no courtesy to ordinary people".Not to mention discrimination, that is to say, not to go together.
But they all despise business. For farmers, businessmen are not involved in production, and it will lead to the accumulation of capital to produce big landlords, and the emergence of land mergers will squeeze farmers.
But generally speaking, the farmer’s view of merchants is not as outright contemptuous as the Legalists’, but a gentle resistance similar to “just don’t interfere with my farming work”.
Now the Zhongshan country attaches great importance to agriculture and mulberry, and the attitude of serving agriculture and mulberry is in their hands. After some investigation, everyone feels that the method here is not bad and worth investing in.
So we came here together, and King Zhongshan also respected them very much, asking for land for fields and land for land, and also provided them with free accommodation and work arrangements.
Zhongshan also has extremely advanced agricultural thinking, which coincides with them.
The elder brother sighed, and didn't know whether this move was good or bad, but they had no choice.
Now that Taoism is in power, Taoism is inaction and non-aggressive. Legalism has always existed behind the empire, ruling the laws of the empire. Confucianism has quietly risen. After the waves of the Qin Dynasty, there are not many schools of thought left. The farmhouses are located at the bottom of the population and suffer the greatest losses.
After the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion, all the peasants could only flee to the relatively peaceful Jizhou, so they were surprised and attracted by Zhongshan's repeated big moves.
But as far as he knew, it wasn't the farming family that was attracted by Zhongshan Country. He also saw the Mohist boy wanting to buy products from Zhongshan Country a few days ago.
The Tai Tuo of Zhongshan Kingdom is an outsider and an internal law, and the prime minister is a legalist through and through. It is not necessary to think about it. Under their continuous education, the King of Zhongshan will inevitably become a pro-French faction.
And the key point is that King Jiaodong was deeply influenced by King Zhongshan. If King Zhongshan turned into a Fajiazi, it goes without saying that King Jiaodong would also be affected.
As the saying goes, strike first is the strongest...
So the farmer jumped out on his own initiative.
King Zhongshan was very happy when he learned of their identities. After talking with them, King Zhongshan proposed to ask them to write a set of seasons for farmers based on their own experience. The current farming knowledge of farmers is basically passed down from generation to generation, that is, What the father does, the son does.
"But is what father did right?" The little king poured a glass of water for the farmer who revealed his identity, and then held the young man's hand.The young boy's eyes are clear and clear, his eyes are as clear as water, full of trust and hope, "If the most suitable time for a farmer to do in each season is implemented in place, and this farming order is issued to the whole world, then there will be no shortage of farming in the world." people."
"Farmers all over the world, anyone who knows how to farm will remember the book written by the farmer. At that time, this king will also play a preface to this book with His Majesty."
"Where this book goes is where the farmhouse is."
——So, one by one, the agronomists jumped onto King Zhongshan's boat.
It is too cautious to write a book, especially about farming. Although the farmers themselves are very particular about this, they are still stunned after seeing the outline written by the little king.
In addition to the seasons, King Zhongshan also drew a general map for them, with the general direction of the mountains and rivers written on it, and divided the land of the Han Dynasty into several pieces, telling them that basically each piece had different applicable conditions.Since you want to write, you can't just focus on the Zhongshan Kingdom, but look at the whole big man.
At the same time, King Jiaodong proudly raised his chest and said: "We must adapt to local conditions."
So the farmers had no choice but to try their best to contact their colleagues in different regions to inquire about the local farming conditions.In addition to farming, the little king also wrote for them the method of field ridge improvement, the appearance and function of different farm tools, how to make fertilizers, which fertilizer is the best for which state, and so on.
The little king waved his big hand and said to the elder brother of the farm family who saw the sweat on the forehead of outline: It's okay, take your time.
He snapped his fingers, this farming order is really not good and can be handed over to Liu Zhi's younger brother to implement it. The current Han season is still in October as the first month, and it will be January after Liu Xiaozhu changes it.
If the book is published too early, everything will be wrong at the time, and it will have to be reprinted in a few years, and it is easy to give farmers wrong memories.
Xia Anran told the people in the farm family that since the fault tolerance rate is very low, this is a ten-year plan.
Xia Anran will use the Shaofu's funds to support these farmers within the next ten years.Of course, as a price, all the research and development products of the farm family must be promoted in Zhongshan country first.
This seems to be a loss-making business, and Xia Anran naturally has his own considerations. First of all, with this piece of tiger skin, he has a lot of weird ideas.
Secondly, although he probably knows some knowledge, he is not from an agricultural background, and he has a specialization in technology, so professional things still have to be handled by professional people.
It must be said that the little king has recently started to buy out all kinds of weird things without any scruples because of the farmhouse in the country as a cover.
Silage is one of them, but frankly speaking, after several rounds of experiments, it was found that the failure rate of silage is very high, because there is no way to completely provide a sealed environment under current conditions, and to avoid the formation of miscellaneous bacteria while allowing lactic acid bacteria to work.
In addition, it is difficult for villagers to control the middle scale, especially when the rice stalks need to be watered.Fortunately, if it is broken, it is nothing more than a waste of raw materials. Whether it has deteriorated is very obvious, and livestock will not eat bad materials.
For farmers, if they succeed, they will have a lot of rations for their livestock. If they fail, it is just a waste of effort. When the time comes, they will be thrown directly into the compost pit, and there will be no loss.
They didn't care at all.
The failure rate is so high, and the main reason why many people are still experimenting is that this year's rice harvest in Zhongshan has been bumper.
The rice planted in Zhongshan this year has enjoyed unprecedented high-standard treatment. From the beginning of planting, it is convenient to issue approval documents from the capital to remind farmers what to do at this time.Coupled with the new plow used this year to turn up the fertile paddy soil below, the promotion of iron farm tools has made the land more refined.
Of course, the most important thing is scientifically decomposed farmyard manure.
The little king even made it clear when to use the top and when to use the bottom of the cesspit.The top was watching closely, but the bottom naturally didn't dare to be sloppy. The local county magistrate was forced to wander in the field when he had nothing to do. When he saw the idle man, his eyes were shining, and he almost asked: Is it very idle? Have you served this year's service?
Under such oppression, the people will naturally go to the ground if they have nothing to do.
In addition, many people don't have the money to buy farm tools, so they rent them. If you use the rented things more than once, you will earn money. How about a piece of land that you can't wait for four or five crops?The fields of Zhongshan Kingdom have never received such a warm reception, so naturally they grow very fast.
The farmers will always have some relationship with the three aunts and four aunts. When they heard about the behavior of the experimental farm, many people immediately thought about it.
At this point, Xia Anran had a misunderstanding.
Farmers are indeed afraid to try new things, but they can't help but generally feel that the ones used by noble people must be good things.They don't understand other things like water storage, but raising ducks is no problem, no difficulty.
The peasants of Zhongshan Country were quick to accept this.
There are not many ducklings in the house, and a few brave and big-hearted men quietly threw the ducklings into the rice field while the wife was not paying attention, and then squatted on the field ridge to watch the ducklings play in it, and also I didn't see the seedlings being ruined.
Those who were more informed quietly followed the rhythm of the experimental farm. Some were self-defeating, and some succeeded in making ducks and rice coexist peacefully by intuition. Finally, this point was discovered by the people on the farm. The farmer, who was afraid that his relatives would suffer, was asking for instructions. After passing the little king, he revealed some skills of raising ducks.
In fact, people in this era don't like raising ducks.
Because poultry is mainly raised for their eggs, hens can lay eggs after more than three months, while ducks need more than four months.
This month is almost more than 20 eggs.
Moreover, the hen eats a lot of food and basically doesn't pick anything. The duck can't do it. It eats a lot, and its intestines are still straight, and it almost pulls when it eats.This product has to be put into the water, and it must be raised free-range, so the cost will naturally go up.
During the busy season, who has time to escort the ducks all the way around, and might be picked up by a weasel along the way.
Chickens are better, roosters can crow, hens can lay eggs, and chickens are the income of the family.
But now, Zhongshan has even set up a chicken farm. Although the eggs produced by the chicken farm are mainly for military supplies, it will inevitably have an impact on the private market.
There will always be times when the eggs in the chicken farm cannot be collected and broken. If these few days are not the opening day of military camps and school buildings, the eggs will not be preserved after they are broken, and these eggs will be put on the market for sale.
Broken eggs are not durable, but if you buy them back and eat them on the same day, it's okay.This kind of chicken is good and cheap, and once launched, it immediately became the favorite of girls who know how to live.
Now there are people waiting in front of the stall almost every morning, just waiting to grab the eggs.
In this way, besides paying attention to decent gifts, I would rather eat this broken egg for myself.
In addition to the drop in the price of eggs, the price of hens has also dropped slightly.
In fact, the pullets in the factory have not yet reached the time of natural elimination, but the market is like this, even if the goods hoarded in large quantities are not sold in a short period of time, it can still affect the market.
Fortunately, this impact is not severe. After all, in Zhongshan Country, the supply of chicken and poultry can barely reach about [-]% to [-]%.Far from reaching the level of one egg per capita, this market is still very broad.
Moreover, the way people eat eggs now is boiled eggs. When they can play with eggs and even create a "whole egg feast" like the people of later generations, the demand for eggs will be even greater.
After all, Xia Anran's other big killer - soy sauce hasn't been released yet.
He believes that the people of Greater China are eager for food after meeting the minimum level of survival.
With soy sauce, are tiger skin eggs, steamed eggs, soy sauce eggs, and tea eggs still far away?
But everyone doesn’t know what the little king thinks, so people in Zhongshan now consciously want to avoid raising chickens, a market that seems to be losing money. Those who have the conditions to raise ducks have raised ducks, and a few scattered households have raised geese. .
The increase in the number of poultry made the little king worry about the problem of bird flu. He only controlled the increase under strict orders, and every ten days, an animal officer would bring a small official to the door to check the health of the poultry.Of course, it is inevitable to fight wits and courage with farmers.
But fortunately, there are fewer troublemakers among farmers nowadays, because the bottom management of the big man is still a system of "sit together" and "mutual supervision". If one person has an accident, many neighbors will be involved. Forget it, if he really got the disease, he would have to kill the whole village!So no one would help.
All these things made the data of the Zhongshan Country farm become the target of many farmers rushing to inquire about it after the harvest was weighed.
Then they got a statistic that was almost too terrifying for them to believe.
The author has something to say:
The "Sound Rhythm Enlightenment" that the child said was from the Qing Dynasty. Xia Miao changed the words, but there is no way to popularize Mandarin, I really love you, me, him (hello?) No, the official dialect seems to be Xi'an dialect at this time...
Heck, don't worry about the details.
The Qin and Han Dynasties were basically a step forward from slavery to feudalism.
In fact, strictly speaking, the slavery system in our country is different from the slavery system in other countries. Even slaves are not completely lifeless and killed at every turn.
It’s like in a certain TV series that kills people at every turn... Cough, it’s actually very difficult to implement, because population is power, and the government still pays more attention to this aspect. Although the policy is biased towards its owner, it’s not completely irrelevant. .
Of course, the transfer between slaves does exist, and they have no "human rights".
In the Qin and Han Dynasties, the main source of slaves was the family members of sinners or prisoners of war, which is somewhat different from the previous forced slavery.
But with the development of farming civilization, new existences emerged—for tax evasion.
The agricultural tax in the Han Dynasty was very low, but other taxes were not low. Just talking about the population tax, this kind of tax should be paid as long as the baby is 3 years old, until the age of 14, and then it will be paid as a tax from 15 to 56 years old, but In addition to these, don’t forget that there is also military service. About two months of time are wasted in military service every year. If you don’t go, you have to pay a fee to be exempted from military service, and then count the girl’s single tax.
Just imagine, if a family has been having babies, they have been paying taxes for the children in addition to the cost of raising them when the children have no ability to earn money.
Moreover, in the Han Dynasty, land was allowed to be resold, and farmers became tenant farmers after losing their land, and the tax burden of tenant farmers depended on the farm owner.
Although the land tax given by the state is very low, almost only one-thirtieth or about [-]% (the lowest in all dynasties), the end result is that the farmer is rich.
So later on, once farmers encountered difficulties, their first choice was to sell them to rich families.
Of course, according to the rules of the big man, the poll tax for slaves is double.However, this part of the tax will be borne by their owners on their behalf.
As a price, slaves are not paid, and their children are automatically enslaved.
Slaves are different from hired workers, basically hovering on the verge of starvation.There is no other quality of life.
Moreover, they do not have their own household registration books. The existence of slaves depends entirely on their masters. They are property, registered in the warehouse like a teacup, and do not have separate households. The census also had an impact.
So strictly speaking, Mother Wei gave Wei Qing to his father to prevent him from becoming a slave, at least he can have another way to go, and it is not so easy to get rid of it after becoming a slave (I guess it may be 3 years old The household registration will be formally decided in the future? Because the tax payment will start) Wei Qing fled back.
Her thinking was right, Wei Qing had been dissed in the court all his life because of his background, but Huo Qubing was basically not.
Among other things, didn't Cao Cao get high and powerful later, and was pointed at his nose and called you a queen eunuch? (It is said that Cao Cao's family is said to be after Cao Shou's family, although it is not his family, ahem)
Cows have one stomach but four compartments (thank you for the correction from Nether Jellyfish), which is hairy belly, money belly, and clover belly. The author likes to eat it! !Especially the grass belly and hairy belly used in hot pot (wipe away the drool)
Therefore, relatively speaking, cattle have a strong forage absorption capacity.
Green storage needs to be sprinkled with bacterial seeds in modern times, and it doesn’t matter if it is not sprinkled. The production method is actually the same as kimchi, using anaerobic lactic acid bacteria ~ it is said to be very fragrant.
Why do I know this... um... I don't know, anyway, I saw it somewhere, ahem.
The cost of raising ducks is much higher than raising chickens, and ducks don't lay eggs every day!
And the physique of ducks is not as good as that of chickens (because of picky eaters?) They have strict requirements on water quality.
However………
Farmers: Hey, it’s what the farmers say...
"I beg your Highness to be clear, this is the slave's fault alone, it is the slave's greed, so he concealed his identity, Ah Qing is still young, he doesn't know anything, please blame the slave if you want to blame it, it's all the fault of A Ru .”
Xia Anran didn't look at her, his gaze fell on Wei Yu all the time, after Wei Ru pleaded guilty, Wei Wei's slender shoulders trembled, but she didn't get up, and she didn't give any response, as if she didn't hear .
"Sister!" Seeing her sister kneeling down, Wei Qing naturally couldn't sit still, he hurriedly ran over to A Ru and bowed down.The child has been studying with Liu Zhi for several months, and his posture is also extremely good-looking. His figure lying on the ground is like a fledgling bird resting with its wings folded.
Wei Qing saluted and prostrated, his eyes were sincere, and he said in his mouth: "Your Highness, sister is Qing's family member. Although Qing is young, he vaguely remembers that Qing would not have survived without sister. Sister made a mistake, and Qing Naturally, we have to share the burden, and please don't just blame sister."
Xia Anran frowned, he couldn't understand what was going on with this family, especially after several children from the Wei family knelt down in front of him one after another, the little king felt like Huang Shiren standing in front of a group of cabbages.
"Your Highness," Dou Wan, who was on the sidelines, knew that he did not understand when he saw his appearance, so he got up and whispered in his ear, "The Wei family is a slave."
Xia Anran suddenly realized.
He waved his sleeves and returned to his seat, "Get up and talk first."
As soon as he gave the order, the Wei family naturally obeyed. They all stood up and nodded, their faces were extremely frightened. The little king rested his chin on one hand and looked at the frowning Liu Xie, "Hey!"
From Liu Zhi's point of view, that little expression was not to mention bitterness and hatred.
Xia Anran was amused by this expression, he beckoned Liu Zhi to sit beside him, told the story in a low voice, and finally asked Liu Zhi: "If Ah Qing is a slave, do you still want him?"
"Of course!" Liu Zhi said with certainty, "Ah Qing is Ah Qing, and it has nothing to do with his hometown!"
Xia Anran nodded.
Thanks to Dou Wan's reminder, he realized the crux of the matter.
Wei Qing was selected by Liu She as a son of a good family, not as a slave, that is to say, he concealed his identity and became Liu She's companion, even though he was completely innocent in this case, but outsiders don't think so .The problem of deceiving the royal family can be big or small, it all depends on how the deceived master thinks.
The problem is that Liu Zhi is still a child, so he has nothing to say about this matter, it depends on what the guardian wants.
It is impossible not to recognize Wei Wei, Wei Qing, Wei Ru's appearance has not changed much since she came here, the face of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl has basically been fixed, someone will definitely recognize her in the future, Recognizing her, is it still far from recognizing Wei Qing?
It would be fine if Wei Qing was unknown all his life, but Wei Qing is a great general.If this matter is carried out, and he does not recognize his mother for the sake of his identity, I am afraid that because of this, he will be scolded to death in a big man who governs the country with filial piety.
For the good of her son and daughter, Wei Wei didn't recognize them, because she couldn't think so far. This woman is very smart, and she is cruel enough to herself.
Thinking about it, she was able to send her young son directly to his father's side for Wei Qing's future, and now she can willingly break this relationship for the sake of her son and daughter.
In her vision, as long as her son lives a peaceful life and has a job to support himself, it is natural that he cannot think of the hidden worries behind this move.
The matter is actually not difficult to solve, as long as Liu She agrees.
Xia Anran looked around at the several Wei family members who were standing below, and said with downcast eyes: "A Ru has made great achievements in this king's invention of the perfect silk tapestry. This king will write to Pingyanghou to tell Ping Yanghou about getting her out of slavery. Ah Qing Since it's Xi'er's accompanying reading..."
"I'll talk to Marquis Pingyang, too." Liu She also nodded, his elder sister was going to marry Cao Shou soon, Cao Shou naturally wouldn't mind taking off a child's face.
"As for you..." Xia Anran was a little embarrassed.
Frankly speaking, it is not difficult to get rid of citizenship. In fact, the two vassal kings can handle it directly, but he also has concerns.
Wei Ru did not remain famous in history. Wei Qing is still young, and when he grows up, it will affect the course of history. It is estimated that his mission should be completed, but the situation of these few people is different.
Especially Wei Shaoer and Wei Zifu.
The second sister Wei is Huo Qubing's father whom she met in Pingyang Hou's mansion, and Wei Zifu was recommended to Liu Zhi by Princess Pingyang. Therefore, the relationship of Pingyang Hou is very important.
Faced with the embarrassment of the little king, the members of the Wei family immediately said that His Highness should not worry about it. "Slaves are useless, so it's not easy to get out of school," Wei Wei said softly.She has already wiped away the tears on her face. As a woman who has raised several good-looking children, she is undoubtedly beautiful.At this time, she brought a few children and knelt down again: "Your Highness and His Highness King Jiaodong's kindness, I will always remember it in my heart."
"Get up!" Xia Anran sighed, patted Liu She on the shoulder, and said, "Since that's the case, Wei Ru and Wei Qing will stay with me, and Ah Qing will follow him. Let Ah Qing go find you."
Naturally none of them objected, Xia Anran said to Wei Qing, who still had a dull expression: "Ah Qing won't have to accompany you for a few days, and go to accompany your family."
"Your Highness Qingxie." The child hurriedly bowed down, Xia Anran slightly raised his hand to signal him to get up, Qing Xiaodouding looked at Xia Anran with sparkling eyes, and his big eyes were full of joy.
This look made Xia Anran's heart melt, and his heart softened, so he took another step back: "After the autumn harvest, let's go back to Chang'an with the truck from Zhongshan Kingdom."
With a swipe of his hand, he directly gave the teenager nearly two months of vacation.Now Liu Zhi is not happy, he is not happy if he can't see his little friend for three months!
Xiao Douding's eyes were as harmless as a dove's, and now they were full of grievances and incomprehensions.
"Brother, can't you play with Ah Qing?"
Xia Anran: ...
Okay, you are a big baby and you have the final say!
==
In the autumn of the fifth year of Yuan Dynasty before Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, the autumn harvest in Zhongshan was gradually carried out from south to north.
The port building activities in the south stopped half a month earlier, which gave the servants enough time to go home and prepare.At the same time, in order to encourage the autumn harvest, banners and slogans were posted all over the villages, such as "Plant one grain of rice in spring, harvest ten thousand seeds in autumn" and "Today's effort is tomorrow's reward" all shouted loudly.
In addition, the collection of straws in Zhongshan is still going on this year, mainly last year's straws, and this year's fresh straws are also collected, but the price is lower, and they must be neatly tied.
Although the farmers were very puzzled as to why the little king even accepted the fresh ones this year, it was of course unspoken that His Highness gave benefits.Especially this year, Shenze County has paved the road, which can benefit many counties and towns along the way.
But even so, some villages still choose to burn excess straw, especially fragmentary straw.This thing is really difficult to transport and take care of. It is hard and livestock do not like to eat it.It will not rot after throwing it in the field for a while, so the villagers usually set it on fire directly. After the ashes are burned, it will be plant ash, which can also fertilize the field.
But this year, when everyone is drying the grain, they have sent out a few methods that can be used to make fertilizer, which can let the farmers talk about it.
If the amount is not large, it can be thrown into the pigsty as bedding. Frequent replacement can keep the pigsty clean. Occasionally, pigs will chew on two relatively fresh poles to grind their teeth.The fibers of the rice stalks that have been repeatedly trampled by the pig's hooves will be destroyed, and the various excrement of the pigs on it will be easily fermented when piled up, and it will be a very good organic ammonia fertilizer.
If the amount is really too large, you can try to cut the fresh straw and throw it in the tank for sealed fermentation to make cattle feed.
The point of attention is that it must be stepped on and must be sealed.It can be opened in about two days in hot weather. If it is moldy, it will be considered a failure. If it smells sour, you can try to give it to the cows. If they are willing to eat it, it will be considered a success.
Even if it fails, it’s okay, these can be composted together with those pulled from the pigsty.
There is no need to worry about whether it will be so-so. If this thing fails, you will know it by smelling it. There will never be anything like feeding bad grass to cows.
other animals?Other animals are not very edible, so you can give some in small amounts. After all, not everyone has four iron stomachs like a cow.
If such a pass of rice stalks has not been consumed, it can still burn fire dung.Fire dung know?It's the one that His Highness vacated, oh, don't you believe it, our Highness has found the heir of the farm family, do you know that?These are all researched by farmers!
Hundreds of schools of thought were screened in the pre-Qin period, and many of them were eliminated in the Qin-Han war. The peasant family belongs to a group struggling on the verge of elimination.
As a school of thought that focuses on peasants, the peasant family is quite well-known among peasants.
As soon as the little king invited scholars from the farm, the villagers gathered together to discuss.
"Farm family! After the Shennong family, you can grow quickly by planting a field!"
"Oh oh oh! So amazing! If the Huns come...hehe."
"Tsk, I don't understand. Farmers have a unique technique called Scattering Beans into Soldiers. They have secret methods to grow soybeans. Just blow one breath and you can..."
A few farmers with hoes, rakes and sickles, sun hats and towels hanging around their necks walked slowly past these people, and the whole team was silent.
After a long time, a little Douding who picked up a bamboo pole finally couldn't hold it back, he raised his head suspiciously and asked the older senior brother beside him: "Senior brother..."
The latter pressed his sun hat, and replied very skillfully: "We will not cast beans into soldiers, and we are not after Shennong. Shennong is just our ancestor."
"……Oh."
At this moment, a few farmers walked past them, and the young man clearly heard those people saying, "The silage that the farmer made is so useful, my wife found out that there is no need to do it at all." What kind of jar, just dig a hole, throw it in and seal the top tightly, but when you open it, the smell is really..."
"Hahaha... You did it wrong, right? If it was done successfully, it would smell good. I even took my dog to dig it up. Once the dog smelled it and escaped, I stopped digging it and let it rot there. "
"Hey, your idea is really good! By the way, where did your dog come from? I use a bucket of rice, don't you?"
"Fuck off you, I got this dog from the dog farm with great difficulty. You know that the dogs in the dog farm have old noses. My family failed the exam and was eliminated, but every time I hide money from my house, I can get it." If it finds it, my wife will love it!"
"Hahahaha, then you still keep it, why don't you hurry up and cook it!"
"That can't be done. This dog is easy to use. I'm still waiting for the next time the dog farm eliminates the bitches to breed."
"Ouch, that puppy has to be left for me."
"Hey, it's a farmer's family, but they can even raise dogs..."
……
"...Brother?"
"No, we didn't develop pasture, and we didn't raise dogs." The farmer who was carrying a hoe interrupted Xiao Douding directly, "Okay, don't worry about this, did you recite the jingle that I asked you to recite yesterday? "
"I recited it." Xiao Douding curled his lips. The senior brother is very bad, and he always uses the people's homework as a shield when he says something bad.O my lord!
Xiao Douding didn't know that his senior brother could be worse, "Learn it from me."
"!!!" The child's cheeks puffed up, he took a deep breath and took a step forward, purposely shouting loudly beside his senior brother, "Clouds face rain, snow faces wind, evening sunshine faces clear sky."
His senior brother didn't move at all, just poked Xiao Douding's head back with his free hand.The child whimpered and continued to memorize it boredly. The onlookers saw this group of farmers who only thought they were returning from the fields. They also saw that most of them were young and middle-aged. The children were clever and cute and could recite books. They thought they were a family with a big business. , and cast a few envious glances.
How did they know that these disheveled men were agricultural students who were boasted by the little king of Zhongshan to be miraculous and omnipotent.
The farmers whose tiger skins were lifted were very distressed. On the one hand, their reputation was unprecedentedly prosperous in Zhongshan, which is extremely rare nowadays.
The sense of existence of the spring and autumn farmhouses was extremely reduced after they were transferred to the Han Dynasty. Although the Han government encouraged farming and mulberry farming, they were more free and unrestrained than the regular and effective planting of the farmhouses because of the advocacy of Huang Lao. Moreover, the gradually prosperous commerce and Confucianism among the people were both make them very uncomfortable.
Confucianism pays less attention to merchants and farmers, and emphasizes etiquette, and the farmers themselves come from the bottom of the society, and they are not full of food. Where does the etiquette come from?Therefore, in the view of Confucianism, they belong to the kind of ordinary people who "have no courtesy to ordinary people".Not to mention discrimination, that is to say, not to go together.
But they all despise business. For farmers, businessmen are not involved in production, and it will lead to the accumulation of capital to produce big landlords, and the emergence of land mergers will squeeze farmers.
But generally speaking, the farmer’s view of merchants is not as outright contemptuous as the Legalists’, but a gentle resistance similar to “just don’t interfere with my farming work”.
Now the Zhongshan country attaches great importance to agriculture and mulberry, and the attitude of serving agriculture and mulberry is in their hands. After some investigation, everyone feels that the method here is not bad and worth investing in.
So we came here together, and King Zhongshan also respected them very much, asking for land for fields and land for land, and also provided them with free accommodation and work arrangements.
Zhongshan also has extremely advanced agricultural thinking, which coincides with them.
The elder brother sighed, and didn't know whether this move was good or bad, but they had no choice.
Now that Taoism is in power, Taoism is inaction and non-aggressive. Legalism has always existed behind the empire, ruling the laws of the empire. Confucianism has quietly risen. After the waves of the Qin Dynasty, there are not many schools of thought left. The farmhouses are located at the bottom of the population and suffer the greatest losses.
After the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion, all the peasants could only flee to the relatively peaceful Jizhou, so they were surprised and attracted by Zhongshan's repeated big moves.
But as far as he knew, it wasn't the farming family that was attracted by Zhongshan Country. He also saw the Mohist boy wanting to buy products from Zhongshan Country a few days ago.
The Tai Tuo of Zhongshan Kingdom is an outsider and an internal law, and the prime minister is a legalist through and through. It is not necessary to think about it. Under their continuous education, the King of Zhongshan will inevitably become a pro-French faction.
And the key point is that King Jiaodong was deeply influenced by King Zhongshan. If King Zhongshan turned into a Fajiazi, it goes without saying that King Jiaodong would also be affected.
As the saying goes, strike first is the strongest...
So the farmer jumped out on his own initiative.
King Zhongshan was very happy when he learned of their identities. After talking with them, King Zhongshan proposed to ask them to write a set of seasons for farmers based on their own experience. The current farming knowledge of farmers is basically passed down from generation to generation, that is, What the father does, the son does.
"But is what father did right?" The little king poured a glass of water for the farmer who revealed his identity, and then held the young man's hand.The young boy's eyes are clear and clear, his eyes are as clear as water, full of trust and hope, "If the most suitable time for a farmer to do in each season is implemented in place, and this farming order is issued to the whole world, then there will be no shortage of farming in the world." people."
"Farmers all over the world, anyone who knows how to farm will remember the book written by the farmer. At that time, this king will also play a preface to this book with His Majesty."
"Where this book goes is where the farmhouse is."
——So, one by one, the agronomists jumped onto King Zhongshan's boat.
It is too cautious to write a book, especially about farming. Although the farmers themselves are very particular about this, they are still stunned after seeing the outline written by the little king.
In addition to the seasons, King Zhongshan also drew a general map for them, with the general direction of the mountains and rivers written on it, and divided the land of the Han Dynasty into several pieces, telling them that basically each piece had different applicable conditions.Since you want to write, you can't just focus on the Zhongshan Kingdom, but look at the whole big man.
At the same time, King Jiaodong proudly raised his chest and said: "We must adapt to local conditions."
So the farmers had no choice but to try their best to contact their colleagues in different regions to inquire about the local farming conditions.In addition to farming, the little king also wrote for them the method of field ridge improvement, the appearance and function of different farm tools, how to make fertilizers, which fertilizer is the best for which state, and so on.
The little king waved his big hand and said to the elder brother of the farm family who saw the sweat on the forehead of outline: It's okay, take your time.
He snapped his fingers, this farming order is really not good and can be handed over to Liu Zhi's younger brother to implement it. The current Han season is still in October as the first month, and it will be January after Liu Xiaozhu changes it.
If the book is published too early, everything will be wrong at the time, and it will have to be reprinted in a few years, and it is easy to give farmers wrong memories.
Xia Anran told the people in the farm family that since the fault tolerance rate is very low, this is a ten-year plan.
Xia Anran will use the Shaofu's funds to support these farmers within the next ten years.Of course, as a price, all the research and development products of the farm family must be promoted in Zhongshan country first.
This seems to be a loss-making business, and Xia Anran naturally has his own considerations. First of all, with this piece of tiger skin, he has a lot of weird ideas.
Secondly, although he probably knows some knowledge, he is not from an agricultural background, and he has a specialization in technology, so professional things still have to be handled by professional people.
It must be said that the little king has recently started to buy out all kinds of weird things without any scruples because of the farmhouse in the country as a cover.
Silage is one of them, but frankly speaking, after several rounds of experiments, it was found that the failure rate of silage is very high, because there is no way to completely provide a sealed environment under current conditions, and to avoid the formation of miscellaneous bacteria while allowing lactic acid bacteria to work.
In addition, it is difficult for villagers to control the middle scale, especially when the rice stalks need to be watered.Fortunately, if it is broken, it is nothing more than a waste of raw materials. Whether it has deteriorated is very obvious, and livestock will not eat bad materials.
For farmers, if they succeed, they will have a lot of rations for their livestock. If they fail, it is just a waste of effort. When the time comes, they will be thrown directly into the compost pit, and there will be no loss.
They didn't care at all.
The failure rate is so high, and the main reason why many people are still experimenting is that this year's rice harvest in Zhongshan has been bumper.
The rice planted in Zhongshan this year has enjoyed unprecedented high-standard treatment. From the beginning of planting, it is convenient to issue approval documents from the capital to remind farmers what to do at this time.Coupled with the new plow used this year to turn up the fertile paddy soil below, the promotion of iron farm tools has made the land more refined.
Of course, the most important thing is scientifically decomposed farmyard manure.
The little king even made it clear when to use the top and when to use the bottom of the cesspit.The top was watching closely, but the bottom naturally didn't dare to be sloppy. The local county magistrate was forced to wander in the field when he had nothing to do. When he saw the idle man, his eyes were shining, and he almost asked: Is it very idle? Have you served this year's service?
Under such oppression, the people will naturally go to the ground if they have nothing to do.
In addition, many people don't have the money to buy farm tools, so they rent them. If you use the rented things more than once, you will earn money. How about a piece of land that you can't wait for four or five crops?The fields of Zhongshan Kingdom have never received such a warm reception, so naturally they grow very fast.
The farmers will always have some relationship with the three aunts and four aunts. When they heard about the behavior of the experimental farm, many people immediately thought about it.
At this point, Xia Anran had a misunderstanding.
Farmers are indeed afraid to try new things, but they can't help but generally feel that the ones used by noble people must be good things.They don't understand other things like water storage, but raising ducks is no problem, no difficulty.
The peasants of Zhongshan Country were quick to accept this.
There are not many ducklings in the house, and a few brave and big-hearted men quietly threw the ducklings into the rice field while the wife was not paying attention, and then squatted on the field ridge to watch the ducklings play in it, and also I didn't see the seedlings being ruined.
Those who were more informed quietly followed the rhythm of the experimental farm. Some were self-defeating, and some succeeded in making ducks and rice coexist peacefully by intuition. Finally, this point was discovered by the people on the farm. The farmer, who was afraid that his relatives would suffer, was asking for instructions. After passing the little king, he revealed some skills of raising ducks.
In fact, people in this era don't like raising ducks.
Because poultry is mainly raised for their eggs, hens can lay eggs after more than three months, while ducks need more than four months.
This month is almost more than 20 eggs.
Moreover, the hen eats a lot of food and basically doesn't pick anything. The duck can't do it. It eats a lot, and its intestines are still straight, and it almost pulls when it eats.This product has to be put into the water, and it must be raised free-range, so the cost will naturally go up.
During the busy season, who has time to escort the ducks all the way around, and might be picked up by a weasel along the way.
Chickens are better, roosters can crow, hens can lay eggs, and chickens are the income of the family.
But now, Zhongshan has even set up a chicken farm. Although the eggs produced by the chicken farm are mainly for military supplies, it will inevitably have an impact on the private market.
There will always be times when the eggs in the chicken farm cannot be collected and broken. If these few days are not the opening day of military camps and school buildings, the eggs will not be preserved after they are broken, and these eggs will be put on the market for sale.
Broken eggs are not durable, but if you buy them back and eat them on the same day, it's okay.This kind of chicken is good and cheap, and once launched, it immediately became the favorite of girls who know how to live.
Now there are people waiting in front of the stall almost every morning, just waiting to grab the eggs.
In this way, besides paying attention to decent gifts, I would rather eat this broken egg for myself.
In addition to the drop in the price of eggs, the price of hens has also dropped slightly.
In fact, the pullets in the factory have not yet reached the time of natural elimination, but the market is like this, even if the goods hoarded in large quantities are not sold in a short period of time, it can still affect the market.
Fortunately, this impact is not severe. After all, in Zhongshan Country, the supply of chicken and poultry can barely reach about [-]% to [-]%.Far from reaching the level of one egg per capita, this market is still very broad.
Moreover, the way people eat eggs now is boiled eggs. When they can play with eggs and even create a "whole egg feast" like the people of later generations, the demand for eggs will be even greater.
After all, Xia Anran's other big killer - soy sauce hasn't been released yet.
He believes that the people of Greater China are eager for food after meeting the minimum level of survival.
With soy sauce, are tiger skin eggs, steamed eggs, soy sauce eggs, and tea eggs still far away?
But everyone doesn’t know what the little king thinks, so people in Zhongshan now consciously want to avoid raising chickens, a market that seems to be losing money. Those who have the conditions to raise ducks have raised ducks, and a few scattered households have raised geese. .
The increase in the number of poultry made the little king worry about the problem of bird flu. He only controlled the increase under strict orders, and every ten days, an animal officer would bring a small official to the door to check the health of the poultry.Of course, it is inevitable to fight wits and courage with farmers.
But fortunately, there are fewer troublemakers among farmers nowadays, because the bottom management of the big man is still a system of "sit together" and "mutual supervision". If one person has an accident, many neighbors will be involved. Forget it, if he really got the disease, he would have to kill the whole village!So no one would help.
All these things made the data of the Zhongshan Country farm become the target of many farmers rushing to inquire about it after the harvest was weighed.
Then they got a statistic that was almost too terrifying for them to believe.
The author has something to say:
The "Sound Rhythm Enlightenment" that the child said was from the Qing Dynasty. Xia Miao changed the words, but there is no way to popularize Mandarin, I really love you, me, him (hello?) No, the official dialect seems to be Xi'an dialect at this time...
Heck, don't worry about the details.
The Qin and Han Dynasties were basically a step forward from slavery to feudalism.
In fact, strictly speaking, the slavery system in our country is different from the slavery system in other countries. Even slaves are not completely lifeless and killed at every turn.
It’s like in a certain TV series that kills people at every turn... Cough, it’s actually very difficult to implement, because population is power, and the government still pays more attention to this aspect. Although the policy is biased towards its owner, it’s not completely irrelevant. .
Of course, the transfer between slaves does exist, and they have no "human rights".
In the Qin and Han Dynasties, the main source of slaves was the family members of sinners or prisoners of war, which is somewhat different from the previous forced slavery.
But with the development of farming civilization, new existences emerged—for tax evasion.
The agricultural tax in the Han Dynasty was very low, but other taxes were not low. Just talking about the population tax, this kind of tax should be paid as long as the baby is 3 years old, until the age of 14, and then it will be paid as a tax from 15 to 56 years old, but In addition to these, don’t forget that there is also military service. About two months of time are wasted in military service every year. If you don’t go, you have to pay a fee to be exempted from military service, and then count the girl’s single tax.
Just imagine, if a family has been having babies, they have been paying taxes for the children in addition to the cost of raising them when the children have no ability to earn money.
Moreover, in the Han Dynasty, land was allowed to be resold, and farmers became tenant farmers after losing their land, and the tax burden of tenant farmers depended on the farm owner.
Although the land tax given by the state is very low, almost only one-thirtieth or about [-]% (the lowest in all dynasties), the end result is that the farmer is rich.
So later on, once farmers encountered difficulties, their first choice was to sell them to rich families.
Of course, according to the rules of the big man, the poll tax for slaves is double.However, this part of the tax will be borne by their owners on their behalf.
As a price, slaves are not paid, and their children are automatically enslaved.
Slaves are different from hired workers, basically hovering on the verge of starvation.There is no other quality of life.
Moreover, they do not have their own household registration books. The existence of slaves depends entirely on their masters. They are property, registered in the warehouse like a teacup, and do not have separate households. The census also had an impact.
So strictly speaking, Mother Wei gave Wei Qing to his father to prevent him from becoming a slave, at least he can have another way to go, and it is not so easy to get rid of it after becoming a slave (I guess it may be 3 years old The household registration will be formally decided in the future? Because the tax payment will start) Wei Qing fled back.
Her thinking was right, Wei Qing had been dissed in the court all his life because of his background, but Huo Qubing was basically not.
Among other things, didn't Cao Cao get high and powerful later, and was pointed at his nose and called you a queen eunuch? (It is said that Cao Cao's family is said to be after Cao Shou's family, although it is not his family, ahem)
Cows have one stomach but four compartments (thank you for the correction from Nether Jellyfish), which is hairy belly, money belly, and clover belly. The author likes to eat it! !Especially the grass belly and hairy belly used in hot pot (wipe away the drool)
Therefore, relatively speaking, cattle have a strong forage absorption capacity.
Green storage needs to be sprinkled with bacterial seeds in modern times, and it doesn’t matter if it is not sprinkled. The production method is actually the same as kimchi, using anaerobic lactic acid bacteria ~ it is said to be very fragrant.
Why do I know this... um... I don't know, anyway, I saw it somewhere, ahem.
The cost of raising ducks is much higher than raising chickens, and ducks don't lay eggs every day!
And the physique of ducks is not as good as that of chickens (because of picky eaters?) They have strict requirements on water quality.
However………
Farmers: Hey, it’s what the farmers say...
