Chapter six hundred and fifty-fifth family law oath
After naming him, Yang Sanniu left happily. Guo Yixiu bowed to Ling Yun and also left.
Silence returned to the room, and Ling Yun's complicated emotions arose spontaneously again. He was silent for a long time, shook his head vigorously to get rid of the depressed mood, washed his face, and under the influence of alcohol, he lay on the bed and fell asleep.
The next day, when I saw Zixuan again, she acted as if nothing had happened and was doing her own thing as if nothing had happened, as if what happened yesterday had not happened.
Although Ling Yun had doubts in his heart and wanted to ask, when the words came to his lips, he did not dare to speak, so he could only hide what was in his heart.
After the banquet, it was obvious that there was a group of young women around the Holy Castle. Ling Yun and others knew why they were here without thinking about it. However, due to the presence of Zixuan and the threat of Ling Yun's identity, no one dared to trespass.
After entering the Holy Castle, Ling Yun was not disturbed and could do his own thing with peace of mind.
The Tumu Fort is covered with jungles, and is known as the Hundred Thousand Mountains and the Hundred Thousand Jungles. The area is extremely vast. Unfortunately, the terrain is complex, the mountain roads are rugged, and the fields that can be cultivated are scarce, which is simply not enough for the people in the fort to maintain their lives.
There is no land for them to plant, so they can only rely on other ways to make a living. As the saying goes, you live on the mountains and on the sea, so the people of Tujiapu who live near the mountains all make a living by going into the mountains to hunt, without exception.
Each ethnic group in Tujia Fort has a hunting team. As for the number of people in the hunting team, there is no hard requirement. As long as the young and strong men in the house are young, they will take the initiative to join the hunting team.
Because in Tujiapu, if you want to marry, have children, and support your family, you must go into the mountains to hunt. Only by going into the mountains to catch prey can they exchange the prey for food, salt, cloth and other necessities of life, and at the same time, they can also exchange for money.
Only with a guaranteed life can you get a mother-in-law.
The hunting team in the fort is actually a wartime force. They go into the mountains to hunt on weekdays. If the fort is threatened by external threats, the hunting team will turn into soldiers to jointly defend against foreign enemies.
Moreover, during wartime, the hunting teams of all ethnic groups obeyed the orders of the master of Tujia Fort. The position of the fort master in Tujia Fort was equivalent to that of Emperor Qianxi in Dagan.
Ling Yun fell in love with this place since he climbed Qitian Ridge and saw this place. These are the mountains and the jungles here... The gifts of nature are so rich and colorful that he wants to build a factory here to produce writing paper.
, and toilet paper for use in the toilet.
If you build a factory here, you can use local materials, which is convenient and there is no pressure on raw materials. It can also solve the pressure on the lives of the people in Tujiapu. They don’t have to do anything but hunt.
After all, hunting involves certain casualties, and sometimes encountering tigers or even male wild boars will pose a certain threat to them. If a factory is built, men can go into the mountains to cut trees, and women can work on the production line, and there will be no problem in making a living.
Of course, he will not stop them from going into the mountains to hunt, but he will just give them one more choice. After all, if Tujia Fort is captured, this will be the territory of Nanyi Prefecture in the future. If corresponding changes cannot be made to benefit the local people, over time
, will give rise to strange thoughts, and the generalization of Nanyi Prefecture will not be too heavy.
There is another most important reason, and that is the threat of Yang Qinhai. Tujia Fort was merged into Nanyi Prefecture. If life is still the same as before, when Yang Qinhai suddenly attacks one day, he cannot guarantee whether anyone in the fort will be a traitor.
Therefore, only by allowing them to live a good life without having to live on a knife's edge can they truly win back their hearts. In this way, even if Yang Qinhai suddenly appears, it will not pose much of a threat to them.
With this in mind, Ling Yun began to plan.
Opening a factory is difficult to say, but it is actually quite simple. To put it simply, you only need to take half of the people from the Guangxin City workshop, set up a factory in the fort, and then recruit workers.
The difficult part is that when Shangsi County enters Tujiapu, there is no road that can pass oxcarts and horse-drawn carriages. If a factory is built here, there is no accessible mountain road, and the products produced cannot be transported out. It must be transported by manpower alone.
Time consuming and laborious.
Therefore, the prerequisite for building a factory is to build roads.
In fact, there is another good way, that is, to open the factory in Liujia Village. In this way, there is no need to build roads at all. However, Lingyun established the factory to improve the current situation of Tujia Fort. Tujia Fort should not be ignored for the sake of convenience.
After much thought, Ling Yun made up his mind, circled a place near the Holy Fort, and started to build a factory. The factory was established, and the craftsmen were recruited directly in Guangxin City. As for the needed workers, they were recruited directly in Tujia Fort.
No one will refuse if you are given money to do things.
Since Ling Yun wanted to hire people, he must find someone who could be talked to in Tujiabao, so he immediately sent someone to find Pan Changhe and explain his plan to him.
Although Pan Changhe was confused, his eyes flashed when he heard that Lingyun recruited civilians and gave them not only food but also money. This was a great good thing for them.
Why do they need to risk their lives to hunt in the mountains when they still have money?
Pan Changhe secretly glanced at Ling Yun, wanting to know whether what he just said was true or false. Then he noticed that Ling Yun's face was sincere and did not seem to be trying to trick him. With an uneasy heart, he cautiously said, "Sir, you...you just said,
Will the requisitioned people be given food and clothing?"
Ling Yun nodded, smiled slightly and said, "This is natural. I will tell you clearly that as long as there are no problems with the selected people, according to the regulations, each person will be given 50 copper plates every day. When accumulated, it will be one or two and a half silver coins a month.
.”
When Pan Changhe heard that there was one tael and a half of silver a month, Pan Changhe was stunned. His mouth opened as wide as the mouth of a box. He was stunned. Then he swallowed two or three mouthfuls of saliva, as if his throat was dry, and his brain was suddenly confused.
He lost the ability to think and stood there like a piece of wood, motionless, staring blankly at Ling Yun with his eyes blankly fixed.
Ling Yun looked at Pan Changhe's stunned expression and only smiled slightly. He did not speak in a hurry or urge him, but slowly stretched out his left hand, picked up the teacup, took two sips of tea casually, and waited for Pan Changhe to pass slowly.
mind.
After calming down a little, Pan Changhe shook his hands and said in a trembling voice with a fiery face, "Sir, is everything you said true?"
Ling Yun smiled lightly and said, "It's absolutely true. As long as the number of people to be recruited is determined, I will give half a tael of silver to each person in advance. After one month of work, the next one tael of silver will be paid immediately on the same day, so you can relax."
When Pan Changhe heard this, he suddenly made a "plop" sound, knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and said, "I owe you to the common people in the castle. Thank you for your great kindness!"
Ling Yun stepped forward to help, "Patriarch Pan, you... what are you doing, get up quickly."
"Sir, please let me kneel down, otherwise I will feel uneasy!"
"Hey, Patriarch Pan, there is no need to be polite. Get up quickly. Get up quickly. I promise you, not just now, but also in the future. When you build a factory and recruit workers, you will first hire the people in the fort... I promise again that as long as Tujia Fort lasts forever,
Without any treason, I will not let the people of Tujiapu go through the winter without food, suffering from cold and hunger..."
When Pan Changhe heard this, he raised his head to face Ling Yun, his eyes gradually became firmer, and he vowed, "If it is true as your Majesty said, I swear here, I, the Zhuang clan, and all Tumubao ethnic groups will definitely obey your commands in this life. As long as your Majesty is here, Fort
The people here have no intention of rebellion. In the future, if any clan member violates this oath, he or she will be punished by clan punishment and expelled from the clan, and they will not be able to enter the ancestral land after death."
