Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 2551 I hope to be full all my life

The stones are changing, and the Li family in Longxi is changing. These small changes are in the Sanfu of Guanzhong, like the waves in the big river. They seem inconspicuous, but it is also these waves that make up the rolling river. Don't stop, go forward bravely.

  Times are changing, productivity is changing, and production relations will naturally change accordingly. This is the truth discovered by Ma Dabeard, and its root lies in the human thinking, which is changeable.

   Niu Dalang also changed.

  Niu Dalang said before that he wanted to join the army, but he was a little younger, and his family suffered from accidents, so he was not stable, so he was not selected for the army that year, but delayed later.

  It is difficult for the common people to agree with the officials.

  It is basically impossible for all people to have a high degree of unity in thinking and thinking.

  You know, even God can’t do this.

   Jew took the money and smiled.

  Where there is a will, there is a way, and the boat is overwhelmed, and the Baier Qinguan will eventually belong to Chu,

  Those who work hard, live up to the heavens, live on their salary and taste their courage, three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu.

In later generations, when Fei Qian saw this couplet for the first time, he wrote it properly on the title page of his own book, and then quoted it many times in some argumentative papers to prove What is the basis for your own argument.

  But as the years went by, I gradually saw the disadvantages of this couplet.

   Class limitations.

  『Qinguan eventually belonged to Chu』, regardless of why this ‘Chu’ later became a ‘Han’, is this ‘Chu’ just the ‘Chu’ of ordinary people? In the same way, can the "Yue" of Tunwu be an ordinary mountain?

  Xiang Yu was originally a nobleman.

  Goujian was originally a royal family.

  The ugly duckling was originally a swan, and Cinderella was originally a princess.

  And those ducks who expected to become real swans from ugly ducklings fell halfway through the flight.

   What's more, the complexity of the world is far from being able to cover everything with a few occasional examples.

  Especially the children of the gentry at the moment.

  It is also like the previous schools of thought.

  Because they are smart, or have wealth, or fame, or have taken status, their personal demands cannot be uniform, and the innate diversity of the sons naturally creates divisions among countries.

   Now, it is undoubtedly very difficult for Fei Qian to unify these schools of thought to have a common belief and a common cognition.

   But in the end, someone needs to do it, and it is obviously better to do it sooner than later.

  The solidification and decline of a dynasty must be the solidification of the class and the decline of the rising channel first.

  The monopoly of educational resources by the gentry and scripture families in the Han Dynasty is a typical example.

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the emperor who was born in a relatively low class was surrounded by relatively low-class courtiers, wine sellers, and pig butchers, all of which were the same, so that until Liu Bei's generation, perhaps he still imitated Liu Bang to make up for it. The idea of ​​Dragon Ball, but I still haven't been able to get enough...

Therefore, after the establishment of the Han Dynasty, there were a large number of middle and lower classes in the Han Dynasty, who got rid of the shackles of the old nobles. At the same time, there were also a large number of military personnel. On the side of the Han Dynasty, the old nobles who tried to pick peaches were completely swept into the historical waste pile.

  From the Han Dynasty, the old aristocratic system from the Zhou Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period basically disappeared.

   Instead, it is the aristocratic family.

  A wealthy family that accumulated during the three or four hundred years of the Han Dynasty.

Most of these aristocrats were not from famous families in the Spring and Autumn Period. After they broke the shackles left by the old aristocrats, they turned their heads and put the shackles on others. They smashed the original class blockade and opened a new path of promotion. channel, turned around and began to put a ceiling on his own channel.

  It is not terrible that there are classes in society. What is terrible is that there are no channels for promotion.

  There is no channel for promotion, so you can only see that Xiang Yu has a chance, Gou Jian can work hard, a fake duckling can fly, and a princess in distress wears a crystal shoe. As for the others, they can only imagine that after having a good dream, they will face a miserable life after waking up, accumulating resentment points until they explode with a bang.

   It's like Zhou Shuren's words that have been banned.

  Fortunately, among the big men at the moment, the originally thick coffin board was poked several holes by Fei Qian. Although it was not completely lifted, a fresh breath came in and blew on Niu Dalang.

  Niu Dalang still got up early, um, or is it called a straw mat?

  Like this kind of grass mat, it has always been a happy home for all kinds of bugs. Every once in a while, Niu Dalang must find some wormwood or something to fumigate these grass mats, otherwise, as long as it takes a long time, there will be all kinds of bugs in them, including but not limited to mites, lice, fleas and bedbugs.

  Even so, I was bitten almost every day.

  Niu Dalang scratched his back, but couldn’t reach some places, so he rubbed against the doorpost a few times, that’s all.

   Anyway, I'm used to it.

  There is no reserve training today, so he is going to work in the fields, and by the way, tidy up the canals beside the fields. If there is still time, he will tidy up the tiles and sheds on the house...

He went to the small courtyard, broke open some thin ice water jars, scooped some from it, rinsed his mouth, then dipped a piece of sackcloth that was almost rotten into a fishing net with some water, wiped his face and hands, and it was considered Washing is over.

  As for his sister, she didn't even wash up.

   On the one hand, it is cold, and on the other hand, I have to get up early in the morning to cook.

  The trauma caused by Niu Sixia's death still remains in this home, but it is no longer as **** as before. As Niu Dalang got the attention of the patrol, even if he walked around occasionally, gave Niu Dalang some encouragement, and brought two or three yuan of steamed buns, it was enough to let the neighbors around, and the village elders in the village eat as much as they wanted. The water leveled out.

   It doesn’t need any special care, as long as you don’t deliberately destroy it, cattail grass like a cow can grow out of the cracks in the rocks, and then push away the stones on your body.

   This year Niu Dalang participated in the preliminaries.

   Preselection of pawns.

   Nowadays, children from poor families also have two paths to go.

   Go up.

  One piece of text, one piece of martial arts, of course, at this stage, there are relatively more ways to take martial arts. Because it is very direct and the reward is quick, although the risk is higher and you have to face death. But children from poor families are not afraid of death, they are afraid of poverty.

  The path of the text is vague, some places have it, some places don't. Chang'an Sanfu Zuojin will be better, and other places will be worse. After all, the imperial examination system in the Sui and Tang Dynasties was also a thong that was put on after constant friction. If you want to get the benefits right now, you still need to adjust and adapt.

  Niu Dalang bit the thick bun.

  The thick bun is mixed with bran, which scratches the throat very much. But Niu Dalang ate very deliciously, and Niu Xiaomei also ate very deliciously, and he babbled.

   Their lives seem to have climbed up from the abyss and trough, at least for the better.

   After the younger sister had eaten too, Niu Dalang took his **** and shovel and went out with the younger sister, and then took two sheep with him.

  The little lamb was sent by the inspection at the beginning, and it was loaned to Niu Dalang first. A few months later, the lamb grew up, was mated, and became pregnant, so it was sent to the animal husbandry station of General Hushi. Two lambs were born, one was brought back to be raised, and the other was left in the animal husbandry. Standing, it can be regarded as paying off a small part of the account.

  Although the blades of grass are all withered at the moment, the temperature is good during the day, and it’s only cold in the middle of the night, and looking for food is the instinct of animals, let the sheep eat some outside, and wait until the real heavy snow comes, and they will eat the stock.

  Niu Dalang glanced at Niu Xiaomei.

Niu Xiaomei ate some goat's milk because she was exposed to the lamb, her face was more or less the color of blood, her hair was not as dry and yellow as before, and she was dressed in a decent indigo coat. Livelier. She is holding a stick and driving the big sheep. The lamb doesn't need to pay special attention, it will follow the big sheep by itself.

  My little sister is about to grow up, so I have to prepare some dowry. Niu Dalang thought that if he went to serve as a soldier, he could buy two or three more sheep and let his younger sister raise them. Farming and so on, like some other military households, are entrusted to the village to rent out to the public, and the rent is collected according to the harvest. They don't expect to make a fortune, but they can deal with some food.

In the fields of military households, people in the village do not dare to mess around with any wrong thoughts. After all, under the command of the same hussars, there is still some love for robes. Note that if you are found to be corrupting military households, the punishment will be heavier than ordinary corruption!

  After all, the military law is strict, and it is a matter of losing one's head at every turn. Corrupting military households is basically equivalent to involving military law, and the crime is a must. Basically, once discovered, it is a capital offense. So whether the head is worth money or the rent is worth more, people will weigh it up.

   Waiting for myself to come back... Well, maybe I may not be able to come back, but no matter what, I can have a sum of money, which can be used as a dowry for my little sister. If you have enough dowry, you can find a good family. With a good family, even if I die on the battlefield, I can rest assured.

  Niu Dalang thought to himself, and greeted the village neighbors he knew along the way. Some of these people from the same village helped Niu Dalang back then, and some stood by. The villagers are all like this, it is neither good nor bad, and when they are in trouble, these people will help them if they have the spare capacity. Those who can help are just personal feelings, and those who can't help can't be resentful.

   After all, you can't expect others to help you forever, you still have to fight by yourself.

After they arrived at the field, Niu Dalang went to the field first, while Niu Xiaomei took the sheep to the wasteland on the side, and then went around around, first picked up all the feces that could be seen into the back basket, and then went to pick up the sheep. A bundle of firewood was **** with a belt, and it was hunched over to the side of the road, and then came over to help Niu Dalang plow the fields.

  Niu Dalang waved his **** up and down.

  The cattle in their family were taken to pay off the debt after Niu Sixia died.

   But it doesn't matter, Niu Dalang regards himself as a cow.

"elder brother! Will all these lands be overturned? Niu Xiaomei asked, and then she also took a shovel and followed behind Niu Dalang to help.

  『No, turn over first, this one...』 Niu Dalang waved his hoe, and said while exhaling, "Over there, rent it out, don’t worry about it, keep this piece, keep it, turn it over, and grow miscellaneous grains...』

   While hoeing the ground, Niu Dalang talked to Niu Xiaomei intermittently. In Niu Dalang's arrangement, winter wheat should be planted on this piece of land first, and if there is time, radish will be interplanted...

   It's just that the radishes can only be planted after the spring, so Niu Dalang doesn't know if he will have time to help plant them, so he can only tell Niu Xiaomei.

Because the location of the recruit training is now changed to the new camp of the Jiangwu Hall, those who are relatively close like Niu Dalang will arrive at the barracks later, and those who are farther away, such as Youfufeng, Longxi Longyou, and Northeast of Hedong, etc. Wait for the children of the army in the area to set off in winter.

  Niu Dalang continued to plow the ground, and then he muttered with one **** after another, "Radish, in April and May, you can harvest it, don't sell it all, keep it for eating after pickling..."

  Because a large amount of lake salt from the Western Regions arrived in Guanzhong, the price of salt has been lowered a lot, and the common people are willing to use some salt to pickle their own dishes. Salted radish is the most common dish and can be eaten until the next year.

"Huh..." Niu Dalang stopped for a while, took a breath, then raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his arm, "At that time, if there are too many radishes to sell, I will sell them to the military camp. There will be more radishes in the market. But it will cost a fare, and it will take more time. It's not worth it... Phew... After harvesting the radishes, make another crop, and then plant some sunflowers in the yard, generally enough for your mother and you to eat That's right...you can have enough food all year round...』

  Although Niu Xiaomei still had reluctance in her eyes, she stood beside Niu Dalang with a firm expression and nodded her head, "I will write it down!" Niang said, she heard that silk is very easy to sell now, so she wanted to raise some silkworms at home, and then sell the cocoons first, and then learn slowly, and then they can spin silk, and they can be sold at a good price... Also, Silkworm chrysalis can also be eaten...』

After Niu Sixia's death, the great grief and fear of the future made Niu Sixia's wife seriously ill, almost dying. If Niu Dalang hadn't gritted his teeth and shouldered the burden of the family, the Niu family would have died a long time ago. collapsed.

  Later, as Niu Dalang restored Niu's family to its vitality little by little, his mother gradually got better. Although she was still unable to withstand heavy labor, she could always struggle to survive after seeing hope.

  『Silkworm raising...』 Niu Dalang hesitated for a moment, 『You have to herd sheep and take care of the fields, and if you also need to pick mulberry leaves...are you busy? 』

Although silkworm rearing is not a heavy labor, when the silkworm grows up, it eats mulberry leaves almost every day, especially before spinning the silk at the end. It is a ruthless foodie. A few or a dozen can be said, but they want to sell some cocoons Money, that’s not raising thousands of animals…

  『My mother and I will try this year first, let’s raise a little bit first. Niu Xiaomei also has the stubbornness of the Niu family, "Don't worry, I will be careful at the beginning, there will be no mistakes!" 』

"You girl..." Niu Dalang stretched out his hand, habitually wanting to rub Niu Xiaomei's head again, when he suddenly saw some mud on his hand, he hesitated for a while, but didn't reach out, unexpectedly Niu Xiaomei came up to him, like It's still the same as when I was a child, putting my head against Niu Dalang's hand and rubbing against it, like a puppy.

  『I looked around, there is a mulberry forest over there, when the time comes, sheep can also be put there to graze, and then I will pick mulberry leaves by the way, without delay! Niu Xiaomei grinned, "What do you think, brother?" Am I smart? 』

"really not bad. Niu Dalang smiled at his sister, patted her head and said, "From now on, all the work in the field will depend on you... If you are too busy harvesting wheat, don't do it recklessly, just spend some money to hire some part-time labor!" Don't worry about the money, it's not worth it if you are exhausted! I have military pay! I heard that if you train well in the barracks, there will be extra rewards! 』

   When it comes to the treatment of the army, Niu Dalang is full of longing, and seems to have energy all over his body.

  Because the welfare benefits Fei Qian gave to soldiers far exceeded the original soldier standard of the Han Dynasty, the recruitment system in Guanzhong was almost full every year, and everyone was vying to become a soldier. Even because of being a soldier, the family has become a military household and can start to enjoy some reduced treatment.

Military households, in the Song Dynasty, were thieves who served in the army. In the Ming Dynasty, they were lowly households, low-level civilians, and were not allowed to take the imperial examination. They looked down on soldiers in peacetime, and believed that military households were inferior to others. When the country is in crisis, can you still count on the soldiers and military households in such an environment to stand up and fight for the country?

  Of course, not all of the army is a collection of saints, not all of them are good people, and there are also those who use their status as soldiers to sneak around and commit crimes. But fortunately, both Fei Qian and generals from all over the world hate this kind of crime. If it is a general fight in the camp, sometimes in order to cultivate blood courage, the board is raised high and gently put down, and once it is discovered that someone is really using the status of a soldier to bully the people outside, it is almost always from the outside. Strictly deal with it with military law!

  In addition, the rangers in Guanzhong Sanfu and other places are almost extinct, and all the recruits are from good families, so in terms of obeying military laws, they are relatively stronger and better than before.

  『When the time comes...』Niu Dalang picked up the **** again, hoeing the ground, "When the time comes...don't send me off...I don't want anyone to cry...」

  Before, those who went to serve as soldiers in the village were really a bunch of people crying. Is life and death parting, it is inevitable.

  Niu Dalang didn't like this.

  Because he cried before, he even knelt down to cry for others, kowtowed and begged, but it was useless.

   Doesn't help at all.

  The others just laughed.

  So from then on, he stopped crying, and he didn't like people in his family crying.

  Crying, crying can't come, begging, begging can't!

  Everything you want, you can only fight for yourself!

  『Well, my mother likes to cry, she won’t go,』 Niu Xiaomei rolled her eyes, “I don’t like to cry, I’ll see you off! 』

  『Oh, at the beginning, I didn’t know who it was, crying so much, like a mud monkey...』 Niu Dalang unceremoniously revealed his shortcomings.

  『Ah, bro! I don't like to cry now! ’ Niu Xiaomei argued loudly.

  『Okay, okay, you don’t like to cry anymore...』 Niu Dalang continued to **** the ground, 『By the way, girl...』

"Ok? 』

  『In the future, what kind of person do you want to marry? 』

  『I want to marry a soldier! Niu Xiaomei also answered unambiguously, "Like brother!" 』

  『Okay, I, when the time comes, hey,』 Niu Dalang digged the ground vigorously with a hoe, and laughed a few times, 『In the barracks, I will find you a good one! 』
