"Oh, there are still many Jingcheng, where did you learn the words? The official scholars still teach this?"

Wu Ren thought that this bold statement would win grandpa’s praise, but in the end he waited for a thunderous chestnut, which made his head hurt so much that the wine woke up.

The fifth domineer seems rough, but in fact he is delicate. After all, he has lived for so many years: "After the response, so many people always have to eat."

"Who will raise three thousand young men? You? As the saying goes, before the troops move, food and grass will come first. My family's food is not enough for me to eat. You, a child, have never fought a war, and it is too simple to gather people."

After being ridiculed by the old man, Diwu Ren was a little dissatisfied. The next day, he got up early and took his servant Diwu Fu to count the stored grain of Diwu.

Because of Wang Mang's economic policy, which was difficult to describe, the world's monetary system was completely in chaos. When I saw the fifth reunion in the county, I also insisted on paying salaries with various new coins. The people almost returned to the state of bartering, and the most solid hard currency in this era was the only one: food!

The Fifth Family's granary is in the backyard and occupies a lot of area. It has four-type roofs and two windows under the eaves to breathe. There are large clay tanks in the warehouse, covered with thick wooden covers, filled with millet and wheat with shells.

Wufu's father is named Diwuge, who is responsible for managing the arable land and grain of the manor. He told Diwuren: "Little Langjun, I just collected the land rent this month, and all the five warehouses were full of grain, almost more than a thousand stones."

Adding food, fruit and other foods to the Fifth Family Dockyard, it is enough for more than 50 servants to eat from the owner, the family, and the servants and slaves for two years. This proves that the Fifth Family is very good at operating, unlike some unplanned families who eat and drink in a wild place, and often have no surplus food.

But it is still far from the goal of the fifth reunion, it is ten times worse.

In the fifth relationship, I have to accumulate at least tens of stones of grain.

When he went to meet the Fifth Bastard and proposed this plan, he was laughed at by the old man again.

"Wanshi? Do you know how much grain storage is in the county warehouse? It's just this amount. My fifth family has a limited harvest every year. Where can I get so much grain?"

The fifth yard in charge of the granary was not clear about why Xiao Langjun wanted to store grain, but this happened to be a plan he had thought about for a long time: "Of course, I can't store so much food in the short term, unless..."

The fifth text words are cold and straightforward.

“Add to rent!”

...

"The land rents in other villages are mostly collected for ten or four. However, the Fifth Family has always cherished the people of the tribe, and the same tribe is entrusted with the farmer, and the ordinary tenant farmers are collected for ten or three."

The fifth pattern is still insufficient. He thought that the food price has been getting higher and higher in recent years, so the land rent should be raised.

"In this way, you can charge an additional three to five hundred Shida rent every year."

When the Fifth Reunification first arrived at this era, he felt strange that the land rent in the new dynasty was 10 tax per day, and the Han Dynasty even 130 tax per day. Why would many people rather sell their land to be a disciple of the rich family and be a small farmer than pay rent to the court as a small farmer?

Later he realized that the so-called thirty taxes and one ten taxes are all well-known in public. What is more fatal than land rent is corvee and tax. During the Han Dynasty, the corvee service went to the Western Regions and the southwest barbarians, which took several years to go back and forth, and it was easy to get sick on the road, and military achievements were even more endless. The New Dynasty was even more excessive, and went to war with its neighbors, and it was more defeated and won fewer victory. No one was willing to die.

The most terrifying thing is that the court has no rules for adding taxes. As long as the money is not collected, farmers will take the grain to the market to sell it, and then be exploited by merchants or government officials. If they cannot get enough, they can only borrow money in order not to be arrested by the government and become prisoners. Umbassism is a bottomless pit, and the profits are getting bigger and bigger. If they can't survive in a few years, they can only sell their land and become prisoners and join wealthy families.

However, there was no one in the fifth dynasty, and the head of the family had to serve and receive taxes, let alone be used as a protective umbrella. Therefore, his family was not very attractive to landless farmers. Most of the land was relied on the annexation of different surnames in the area, and the accumulated income was accumulated over time.

"No, you must not add the rent in the land."

The fifth reunion shook his head against the fact that tenants and poor people who rented land planted all year round, their income was not enough to save themselves, but they just barely maintained their lives.

What's more, this behavior of killing chickens and retrieving eggs will make the Fifth clan lose something more important than food: the human heart.

"Don't worry about food, let grandson think of a solution slowly."

Wu Lun mentioned what he noticed when inspecting the warehouse in the morning: "I saw that there were many iron farm tools in the warehouse, and there were a few more oxen plowing in the pen."

The powerful have accumulated through exploitation. If they were placed in the former Han Dynasty, they would naturally continue to merge and buy land, but they could not buy land publicly due to the New Dynasty's King's Field Order. Since the land scale is locked down, the excess grain will be used to exchange for oxen and iron tools, and to find solutions to intensive cultivation.

But ordinary farmers don’t have this condition.

"When I came back yesterday, I saw someone who had started to plow the land to prepare for planting wheat, because there were no cattle, so they could only plough together."

The so-called coupled farming means that one person pulls the rope in front and one person holds the plow behind. However, there is a farmer's proverb: In autumn, farming is to be deep, spring and summer. Planting wheat means to be deep, and poor farmers can only pull the plow and work hard in the scorching sun, and walk hard.

What’s even more terrible is that the fifth reunion saw many people’s plow blades, which were actually made of wood or stone!

This surprised him: "Didn't it mean that the Qin and Han dynasties were already the Iron Age? Why are there still people using the tools of primitive society?"

The blame still has to be taken over by Wang Mang's new policy. The Xin Dynasty followed Emperor Wu of Han and implemented the "five equality and six pens" strategy. The roughly the content was six kinds of goods, including salt, iron, and wine. They must be operated and sold by the government. It is illegal to mine and sell them privately.

The original intention may be to crack down on the Haoyou who controls the private salt of the mine, but no matter how good the original intention is, it has to be implemented by people. A good idea will become a bad policy after implementation, causing great trouble to the people. The government castings are crude and difficult to use, and iron tools are becoming more and more expensive. In ten years, many people have been forced to use stones and wood. Using the production method that was thousands of years ago, it would be a damn good to have high production efficiency.

Wu Lun saw it and was quite moved. At this time, he suggested: "Dafu, when planting wheat in autumn this year, can the bulk come forward and lend my excess iron tools and oxen to the poor people in the middle school to use?"

"Little Langjun!"

Before the fifth domineering made a statement, the fifth square, who was in charge of the peasants among the tribe, called out first.

"Although most of them are of the same race, they are small farmers who do not rent large amounts of land. No matter how good the harvest is, they will not pay the land rent to my family. Why bother with them!"

"Besides, although there are many oxen plowing, they will be exhausted and thin when used too frequently. The same is true for iron tools. Bumps and bumps are easy to be damaged when plowing deeply. Renting is a loss, let alone borrowing for nothing!"

The little man just gave a place for the Taixue to others yesterday, and now he wants to borrow a cow and plow again. Could it be that the master of his hometown scolded him yesterday, and he was a prodigal son?

Through yesterday's incident, the Fifth Ba saw clearly that his grandson had a ravine in his heart. His seemingly soft-hearted behavior had profound plans behind him. He stopped his clan members and asked the Fifth Reunion: "After that, what's your idea?"

The fifth reunion said: "I just want to borrow cattle and iron to let the families finish their autumn cultivation soon."

There is a poem from the Spring and Autumn Period, "July" sang: "One day, I took the fox and made it for the prince's fur... On the third day, I was in the turtle, I raised my toes on the fourth day, peeled my dates in August, and harvested rice in October, so I made it for this spring wine."

From January to December, farmers were busy all year round, and the world changed from feuding states to counties and counties for hundreds of years. However, life had no substantial changes, and it was even more difficult. The population was growing, and the per capita farmland was getting smaller and smaller. If you don’t work hard, you can’t survive.

In the past, I could have a little rest after autumn, but after Emperor Wu of Han, I began to promote staying wheat, that is, winter wheat, and planting vegetables and beans. Now I have work in autumn and winter, and I have almost no time to have free time.

The fifth reunion can indeed help the self-cultivated farmers in the middle to speed up their autumn busyness by lending extra ox and iron plows.

"What are you going to do to bask in the sun?" Although the Fifth Domineer is the head of the family, he has no sympathy for his fellow tribes who are far away, and he still cares about his own interests.

"Of course not."

Although the fifth relationship is compassionate, it is more about caring for the people of the tribe. By the way, they organize everyone to do something big when they are slack in the farming period. The blacksmith must be strong himself. If even a mile cannot be gathered together, how can we make the clouds in the ten miles of the countryside respond?

He said: "At that time, I would like to ask my father and the village chief to organize the people of the village, and my family will pay for the food and rebuild the village society!"

...

"Lishe?"

The worship of the land god in the Lishe is also a place for the people of the Mile. Every day, they gather to drink together. Drinking on this day is not only unpretentious, but also must drink. Often at dusk, every family can help people return home intoxicatedly.

However, since the establishment of the New Dynasty ten years ago, the ban on five equal and six controls was issued, and the wine could only be sold by the government, and it suddenly became extremely expensive, even private wine increased several times. Ordinary people could not afford it, so at most they could make some bitter wine at home and try it.

Secondly, the New Dynasty followed Zhou Zheng and punished those who gathered to drink, and more than five were punished. The people had less time to vent their feelings, and the community was much deserted, and it was ruined for a long time but no one repaired it.

In the view of the Fifth Reun, how can this place where everyone in a mile gathers together and strengthens cohesion through sacrificial rituals be idle? Even if you don’t drink, you can do many things.

For example, a long street banquet was held, calling everyone to have a rare meal, and the fifth domineering went on stage to play swordsmanship to make the boys admire and be jealous. Then let the old people in the village tell stories, telling everyone about the ups and downs of the Fifth clan migrated from the East two hundred years ago. The legendary life and tragic ending of their ancestors, the Tian Heng brothers, can strengthen the sense of belonging of the clan.

The fifth reunion was actually a southerner in his previous life. He was influenced by the clan culture of the south. Although the Rio village rules were denounced as "drother" in the new century, they could also turn waste into treasure in a specific era and become his help in protecting himself in troubled times.

The Han family was unified and the turmoil ended, and the family was able to live together for a long time and reproduce in stability. However, it was still in the early stages of development, so it was far less complete than the system as in later generations.

The fifth reunion is to bring the things of the southern clans. He planned to practice a charity school next to the inner club in the future, so that all children of the right age in the inner school would learn to learn to learn literacy and calculate the number - the Five Classics are not needed, and it is a waste of time. If you are a little older, the fifth reunion can be a teacher to teach them more useful knowledge. He hopes that several talents can be produced in the inner school.

You can also build a charity warehouse to provide relief to the poor neighbors of the same clan and to soothe the conflict between the rich and the poor in the village.

With these benefits, people in the country can return to their hearts. In the name of preventing thieves, they will be summoned to train formations and fight during the slack season, so that people will be obedient.

The fifth relationship is considered: "Now, Guanzhong looks peaceful. I said that the world is in chaos, and even my grandfather doesn't believe it. As soon as I came up, I took my tribe members to train troops. Not to mention that the government would be suspicious, the people in the country were not happy. Everyone is lazy and hate labor. They will never stand if they can lie down. They can only use human interests and interests to slowly take advantage of it."

After doing this, there are so many things I want to do, which is much more interesting than going to Taixue to study hard.

The Fifth Domineer pointed out the contradiction between the Fifth Domineer: "Lun'er, you have to do these purely expensive and food things."

"At the same time, I want to accumulate tens of stones of grain."

"It's like your head wants to go north but your body goes south. Wouldn't it be ridiculous?"

"The great father taught me a lesson." Di Wuren scratched his head embarrassedly. It was indeed quite contradictory. It would cost a huge price to do these things, but the inputs did not increase. If this continues, the landlord's family will not have any surplus food.

"It seems that I have to think of a way to raise food with open source."

...

The next day, Di Wulun went to the blacksmith shop next to the dockyard. Before he could enter the door, he heard the tingling sound of dinging and knocking.

The blacksmith was named Qiu Gaonu. He was not from the fifth clan, but a Tu Fu who came to Shangjun to seek ironwork. Later, he became free and married a woman from the fifth clan. The fifth tyrant asked him to open a small iron shop at home, which specialized in repairing farm tools.

"Little Langjun."

Seeing Di Wu Lun come, Qiu Gaonu, who was wearing a leather skirt, quickly put down the hammer in his hand, accompanied Di Wu Lun to visit this small iron shop, and asked about something again.

"I heard that the master of my hometown has given me a favor and allowed all the domestic households to plow oxen and plow the fields. Is it true?"

Although the Fifth Domineer lost his fifth relationship yesterday, he still announced the borrowing of cattle and iron tools, which won cheers from all over the place. He also asked Qiu Gaonu to repair the iron plow quickly and distribute it to each household for use.

"Of course it's true." Di Wu Lun looked at Qiu Gaonu. The face of this short iron-slaughter was baked in front of the fire all year round and was always red.

"Since that's the case, my brother is a foreign surname, can he borrow a cow?"

After Qiu Gaonu settled in the fifth mile, his younger brother's family also came to surrender, becoming one of the few foreign surnames in the village.

The fifth reunion doesn’t want to engage in clan-subject politics. It’s too petty. Only by treating everyone equally regardless of the same surname and other surnames can more and more people gather.

"Of course, but there are too many users who borrow, so who first or later has to rely on a fair way..."

That is, draw lots!

If we are divided according to the relatives who are close to each other, the threshold of the dockyard will definitely be straited by relatives who are entrusted to the back door. It is better for everyone to rely on their own abilities, and speaking according to their luck will save trouble.

However, the fifth reunion came to the blacksmith shop today for another matter.

After walking around, the fifth reun found that Qiu Gaonu was good at craftsmanship and was an all-rounder. In addition to knocking on iron tools, he also did some woodworking, which was so good.

Wu Lun touched the newly repaired iron shovel: "Is there... excess iron?"
