Spring and Autumn I Am King

Thanks to Shuyou Xuange Pavilion Pavilion for the reward!

Although it was already winter, the Zhao soldiers had sweated a lot on their foreheads and faces after driving for a long time under the sun.

Zhao Wuxie was just as hot, just because the long sleeves of this wide robe was really stuffy.

With some envy, he looked at the double-coiled ox cart with the sunshade cover and the curtain, and the female servants and servants were seated in it. But now is not the time to pursue comfort, if Zhao Wuxi shyly ran inside and followed the girls to enjoy the shade, the team he just formed would probably lose more than half of his heart.

He withdrew his gaze and continued to observe the situation along the way. This was the first time he had left the lower palace since the winter hunting.

As a hegemonic country, Jin always has to pay attention to its image. The repair of the official roads near the capital is not bad, at least it can make the chariot travel less bumpy.

On the first day of Yang Tongrong's first day, the car right was not too hot, and he was bombarded by Ji Qiao, under the pretense that he wanted to introduce the scenery and people's feelings along the way to Zhao Wuxi.

Yang Tong Rong was only a corporal, and his status was inferior to that of the sergeant Ji Qiao, so he had to do his two Sima's own duties with resentment on his face, and urged the Zhao soldiers to hurry up and hurry.

Professionals are different, Wang Sunqi's car is stable. Ji Qiao, on the other hand, was racing against time to hold a pen in one hand and a slip of paper in the other, constantly asking Wu Xie about the "Zhou Bi's number", and writing it down as soon as there was a response.

Of course, Zhao Wuxi wouldn't empty out the contents of his stomach to him all at once, but a little at a time, step by step. When Jiqiao is absorbed and carried forward, China's mathematics level should be able to shorten the development process of hundreds of years, right?

Moreover, in the words of later generations, mathematics is the foundation of all natural sciences, and even all precise technologies. Zhao Wuxi's promotion of mathematics may produce a series of follow-up reactions. The earlier the time, the greater the impact after fermentation!

Because now is the Spring and Autumn Period, the budding period of various schools of thought, Chinese philosophy and science are still in the process of being conceived, and they are extremely malleable.

Thinking of this, Zhao Wuxi felt that his behavior of prying the cheap old man's corner suddenly became noble and selfless...

As the chief planner of the lower palace, Ji Qiao knew every field and market in the surrounding townships like the back of the hand.

He introduced that, as far as the country’s wild road is concerned, there is a hut within ten li, and there is food in the hut, so that pedestrians can drink water to rest their feet. Chengyi is more than 30 miles away from the lower palace. This way, after passing the second cottage, it turns from the official road to a narrower wild road, which can only accommodate a horse-horse chariot.

"Little gentleman, from here, you will enter the realm of Chengyi."

Zhao Wuxi nodded and looked up. On both sides of the wild road were large fields of rice that had already been harvested.

After traveling through, Zhao Wuxi discovered that the current climate is much warmer than later generations, and the rain is humid, and the population is small. The place with a million people in the Celestial Dynasty may be less than 10,000 now. The local mountains and forests and grasses have not been sufficiently developed, so in Shanxi, which was arid in later generations, occasionally irrigated paddy fields can be seen at this time. Of course, most of them are drought-tolerant millet fields.

However, this year's season is not good, disasters have occurred in all seasons, and Chengyi Township has more mountains and less land, hardly any water conservancy projects have been built, and the yield per mu is surprisingly low.

The terrain is slowly climbing, and there are scattered wolfberry trees on the uphill slope. The wild people in rough clothes and clothes that do not drag on the ground are picking the last batch of fruits this year. Indeed, as my sister Ji Ying said, passersby had disheveled faces, and when they saw Zhao Wuxi and his team of flags fluttering, they all hurriedly let them go to the field and bow down.

There are also a few Chinese people with swords standing on the roadside and bowing their hands to Wu Xie. They are Chengyi travelers who went to the capital Xintian. After hearing that Zhao Wuqi was going to take office in Chengyi, they looked at each other with strange expressions, but they didn't. say what.

Under Ji Qiao's narration, Zhao Wuxi also learned that the local administrative system of the Western Zhou Dynasty was Liuxiang Liusui. However, in the Spring and Autumn Period, the situation changed a little. The state of Jin began to set up the county system from the time of Duke Xian. After more than 150 years of development, the county has become the most basic geographical unit.

Therefore, the current local administrative division of Jin State is as follows: five neighbors are neighbors, five neighbors are li, four li are townships (also known as townships, and the towns of a hundred households), and five townships are towns (also known as Zhongyi, where a thousand houses are located). Yi), and Wuyi is the county.

Of course, this is also an ideal number, how can it be so regular in reality. Under the rule of Jiangxian County, there were six towns, each of which was controlled by the six ministers.

(Neighborhood, Li, Township, Township, County) There are respectively the Neighbor Chief, Lixu, Township Chief, Township Doctor, and County Doctor.

This place is indeed a lot less barren than the lower palace. Zhao Wuxi looked at the dark stone mountain in the distance and thought deeply.

Ji Qiao said strangely: "Zai Qiao wanted to come, the Lord brought so many cattle and horses, probably because he wanted to use the ploughs that have appeared in Jinlu in recent years to cultivate the land. But what Qiao did not understand was why the Lord wanted to Almost all the wheat seeds in the lower palace were collected and brought, in a dry and barren place like Chengyi, if you want to increase the harvest, only a variety of millet will work.”

Wu Xie was silent after listening to it. I don't know when wheat was introduced to China from West Asia, but at least when King Mu of Zhou traveled westward, the Xirong tribes along the way had already donated wheat to him.

During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the status of wheat in the hearts of the Chinese people was far inferior to that of millet (millet in later generations). When worshipping in ancestral temples, millet was regarded as a noble thing, and wheat was only eaten occasionally by nobles who wanted to change their taste. . The Central Plains has not yet invented the grinding mill, and the taste of cooking wheat grains is not flattering.

Moreover, the power of habit is enormous. Ji Qiao does not understand the status of wheat in later generations, so it is not surprising that he does not pay attention to it. No one could have imagined that in just three hundred years, a wheat revolution would be launched in China from the west, and the Qin State's tiger and wolves, who opened water conservancy and planted wheat, would sweep across Liuhe. In the Western Han Dynasty, the promotion of wheat in the Central Plains tripled the population of China within a century!

Zhao Wuxi didn't answer immediately, he smiled mysteriously: "When you get there, sir, you will understand."

Unconsciously, after half a day's trek, the group of horses finally arrived at Chengyi.

The low city wall could be seen in the distance. Zhao Wuxi stopped the team by a clear stream, and ordered the sweaty Zhao soldiers to drink water to rest and clean up their appearance.

Tian Ben, who was the corps chief, changed his arrogance from yesterday, and today can be regarded as a saddle. This place is regarded as their private family, and it is extremely xenophobic. It is better to send out the flag and let us **** forward. Ben knows best that these Chinese people in the village are as rude and arrogant as me, and they cannot know a gentleman. Say, give them a slap in the face, and they will know how powerful the little gentleman is!"

Tian Ben took himself as an example of being vulgar and arrogant, but he made Zhao Wuxi amused. He laughed and scolded: "You treat everyone like you, and you like to play dumb? Today, this gentleman, you should give courtesy first and then soldiers."

Chengyi was intractable. After repeated reminders by Ji Qiao and others, he was already mentally prepared. Among the seven li in Chengxiang, the Cheng family and its branches occupied four of them. Zhao Wuxi's strategy for those local snakes is that if he can cooperate obediently to give him face, he will let it go.

The group continued on the road. Yesterday, an envoy from the lower palace informed Chengyi that a new village chief would come to take office, so today at the village hall in the village, some people were already waiting.

The man in the lead was over forty years old, with a chubby figure, wearing a staff's crown, a large cloth sheep's coat, and holding a comet in his arms. Beside him is a small country witch with black eyeshadow and dark hair, wearing an old patched witch robe, standing on tiptoe and waiting.

Not long after, I saw the vast team of Tangtang on the wild road lined up in a long snake galloping over, and on the leading chariot, a young gentleman with dark hair seemed polite, showing a warm expression to them. smile.

The little gentleman was as young as the rumors said, and he didn't seem to be difficult to get along with. The middle-aged fat man breathed a sigh of relief. After looking at Wu Zhu, he hurriedly took two steps and bowed down from a distance.

"Chengyi Dou clan chief Dou Pengzu and others welcome the gentleman."

"Comet" means broom. This is a kind of etiquette for welcoming guests in the pre-Qin period, and it is also used to welcome new officials. As for the elders, it is also respectful.”

Wu Zhu and the other dozen people also followed Dou Pengzu and bowed to salute. Among them were Zaoli from the village, as well as clan elders who came from nearby.

Sun Qi, the king of Yu Rong, parked the chariot accurately and steadily in front of the crowd. Zhao Wuxi stood upright on the chariot, leaning on the railing. From Zhao Yang, he also learned some tricks of the superiors to pretend to be forced, and his face remained calm. , raised his hand slightly and said:

"All are exempted from the ceremony. The rest is Zhao Wuxi, the new township chief of Chengyi. Dare to ask the three elders of the township, the township Situ, the township Sima, and the heads of all the clans have all arrived?"

According to the local system newly implemented by Duke Miao of Jin in China~www.wuxiahere.com~ in the township and below the township chief, there are three township elders who are in charge of ritual and music education, witchcraft divination, and are in charge of township shooting, ancestor worship and other activities; Sow the autumn harvest, collect taxes, and submit to the plan; the township Sima is responsible for recruiting soldiers, training, and defending against thieves.

And every li under the jurisdiction of a township is actually a small number of Chinese clans living together, and more savage serfs and patriarchs are enslaved under it. In fact, it is equivalent to Lixu.

That Dou Pengzu was sweating profusely, and he didn't know how to answer, but the Wu Zhu next to him boldly raised his head to observe Zhao Wuxi.

Ji Qiao, who had been to Chengyi several times over the years, watched him coldly, his mouth moved slightly, and after quickly counting the number of people present, he snorted coldly, "Lord, except for the Dou clan chief and Dou Lizao Li. Here, the other three elders, Xiang Sima, Xiang Situ, Jiali Sangli Patriarch and others have all disappeared!"

PS: There is no detailed record of the local administrative system of Jin State. I mixed the systems of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States...
