Poor mountains and harsh waters bring out unruly people.
The unruly people are not the point, the poor mountains and rivers are.
In order to turn these southern barbarians who had been living in the mountains and forests into Han people, they had to first come out and be able to live there. Zhuge Liang spent a lot of thought on this.
Each side of these square or rectangular buildings can be occupied by people, and there are small turrets protruding outward at the corners, which can accommodate one or two people looking out, and can also be used as a defense system.
These are some defensive structures that are basically found in any village. These buildings are still there, so when these mountain people live at the foot of the mountain, they will not feel that they have lost their protective power, but they will feel that they have lost their sense of security.
At the same time, Zhuge Liang improved the sanitation system. There is a special toilet in the corner of each building, and a manure pit and a biogas tank are built under the toilet. Of course, the main purpose of the biogas tank is not to obtain biogas, but to
The waste and wastewater will be treated harmlessly. After fermentation, some parasites and germs will be eliminated, and the biogas sediment will become a good fertilizer after regular cleaning.
As for the Feng Shui of the direction of the toilet, there is actually not much emphasis on it. The main thing is ventilation and smooth drainage. The reason why in some places it is said that the direction of the toilet is very important is because in that direction you can have
Better sanitary conditions, lighting, ventilation, etc. will prevent the darkness and lack of sunlight from causing bacteria and fungi to multiply and eventually infect humans.
Zhuge Liang naturally did not rigidly stipulate where these functional rooms must be located, but adjusted them according to the actual situation, such as the door, kitchen and bathroom, etc. The location of the water well was also adjusted according to the actual situation. It cannot be said that the wellhead is in Feng Shui.
If you say which direction is good, you must drill a well in that direction. What if there happens to be rocks in that direction? Or if there happens to be a slope or something in that direction, how do you drill a well?
Adapting measures to local conditions is always better than being rigid.
In the middle of several large buildings, there is an open space of a threshing floor, which is used for threshing and village gatherings. This kind of village is mainly used for production rather than defense, but even so, with the
With food reserves and weapons such as firearms, blades, bows and arrows, this kind of village can effectively resist attacks by bandits and bandits. Even if a war breaks out, regular soldiers can also be stationed in the building to form a stronghold for any indigenous force.
An irremovable fortress.
The model here in Hanyang Xinxiang can also be imitated and used in other areas with different focuses. It only needs to be adjusted in terms of land allocation and public relations buildings.
This type of building can basically accommodate 30 to 50 households. If the third floor is expanded, then there will be 50 to 80 households. Based on an approximate calculation of five people per household, one building style will be 150 households.
With ten to two hundred and fifty people and three to four buildings, it is basically a township.
There was a big gap between the upper and lower limits of counties and townships in the Han Dynasty. Large counties had tens of thousands of people, and small counties had thousands of people. Generally speaking, a county had four to five townships, so a township in the Han Dynasty had hundreds to thousands of people.
All considered normal.
Under stable conditions, the population will gradually increase. In addition to building third-story houses, Zhuge Liang also considered the possibility of later expansion. Of course, he can also build some houses in industrial areas based on actual conditions.
, completely transferring part of the labor force from agricultural and animal husbandry production to commerce or handicraft industry.
At the same time, in addition to providing a stable supply of agricultural products, handmade products, etc., such a county and township system can also accept retired soldiers from the army, and can also become a point for setting up post stations in the future...
These are all external matters. As for its role in destroying the system of local clans and large gentry households in Sichuan and Sichuan, even if no administrative means are used to interfere, no matter how large the clan size that can be formed under this system will not exceed
A village may even be naturally limited to one building.
Moreover, through contact with the outside world, the original copycat system and gentry structure will be affected and disintegrated. The knowledge of those who have seen the outside world, coupled with the strengthening of the interconnection with the outside system, will naturally make these people, after a period of time,
Those who had the say in the new villages gradually shifted from the old local gentry and village leaders to retired soldiers or leaders of caravans.
Zooming into a larger system, the standard villages in each region will form a network, connected by roads, which is like a huge network. The distance between standard villages depends on the specific local conditions, usually at least four
At this distance, even without war horses, you can receive support or evacuate in a short time, or you can directly transmit emergency information through beacon fire.
In this way, the entire Sichuan and Shu, from Badong to Nanzhong, can be completely controlled on both sides of the road. The larger thieves who are not within the system, or the xenophobic Nanman, will become less and less.
Living space.
This is conspiracy.
The Southern Barbarians who came down the mountain first after receiving benefits will spontaneously consolidate and safeguard their own interests. This is fundamentally different from forcing them to migrate and forcing them to perform certain tasks.
Of course, these early rationing benefits are not free.
As members of the new village, these mountain people Nanman will spend seven years. Like the farmers in Sanfu, Chang'an, they will have higher rents at the beginning of the seven years, but after seven years, their fields and houses will
It will become the private property of their family.
"I heard what those Han people said, saying that from now on in Sichuan, as long as we follow the Qiaoqi, everyone will have a house to live in, clothes to wear, work to do, and enough to eat!"
The mountain people who were attracted to participate in the preliminary labor were talking among themselves.
They didn't believe it at first, but now they somewhat believe it, and then they start to dream about it.
Because they did get paid from the Nanzhong Labor Camp, whether it was catching mountain rats, picking wild fruits, or collecting materials needed for construction, etc., as long as they took it over, they would get money. Although
He said that sometimes the things they bring are disliked, but that is their own problem. For example, the mountain rats caught by some people are fatter, so of course the price is higher, etc.
Under such circumstances, these Nanman mountain people began to have the first Hussar copper coins in their hands, and began to come into contact with the Han people's trade system. Then, just like the Shang tribe in China when they conquered other tribes, they pushed wheeled carts and shouted.
It just passed by, just integrated into it.
"Have a house? Have enough to eat? Are you not stupid?"
Some mountain people still couldn't believe it.
Everyone has a house!
You can still have a full meal!
For several generations, or more than ten generations, these mountain people are not lazy, nor are they unwilling to work, but there are very few who can have enough to eat...
In the memories of these mountain people, from the time they can remember, hunger is like an inescapable shadow, firmly attached to their lives. The occasional experience of being full is an important part of their lives.
Not much happiness. For these people, hunger, or semi-hungry, has become a normal part of their lives, and they have even become somewhat numb and used to it.
"What did you hear? Doesn't this land belong to the Han people? Doesn't it belong to everyone, regardless of whether it's above or below the ground? Isn't that what the masters in the village said? The master asked us to build a house to live in, then
You pity us, who said this house belongs to us?"
Although it is said that rent must be paid in the first seven years, for many mountain residents, it is ignored. Let alone seven years, many of them have not had a house that truly belongs to them for seventy years or even seven generations. Copycat owners
You can give as much as you want and take as much as you want. When you stay, you have to look at the master’s face, and even the faces of the master’s servants and stewards. It’s like...
Ahem.
never mind.
"But we still have to work, work for the Han people..." someone muttered.
"What kind of work do you do?" someone asked.
The man replied: "Anyway, that's all, growing grain, vegetables, herding horses and sheep."
"This job is simple! Besides, where is the work? If you don't work, what will you eat? But do you really mean that as long as you work, you can... really have enough to eat?"
Will the mountain people have less work?
Whether they are Han Chinese, Southern Barbarians, or herdsmen, as long as they are the most basic people, they have to work hard. Sometimes, no matter how hard they try, they can never have enough to eat.
This has always been the case from ancient times to the present.
Even just a few years ago, before the Hussar arrived in Sichuan and Sichuan, there was a famine...
"That's right, that's what the Han chief said..."
"Can the Han people trust what they say?"
"Well... but those Han people at the Nanzhong labor force have never deceived anyone before. They will pay as much as they should..."
"If that's the case, if it's those Han people... they should be able to give it a try, right?"
"Then let's try it..."
There are good and bad people among the Han people.
Among the mountain people, there are good and bad people, some are lazy, and some are diligent.
But more people still hope to do good and are willing to run towards a better future...
……ヾ(^▽^ヾ)……
There is no news about the capture of the Qiao family in Sichuan and Shu, and it is impossible to spread it to Chang'an immediately.
So it’s a new day at Wufang Dojo in Chang’an.
Accompanied by the rumble of street drums, the gates of each square opened one after another, the streets became increasingly crowded, the cars and horses were noisy, and the whole city entered a busy state again, exuding vitality.
Ordinary people came out of their homes one after another to start their day's work.
Nowadays, around Chang'an, there is not only farming of acres, but also the prosperity of a large number of commerce and handicraft industries, giving these people more choices, their thinking is more active, and they are more curious about the outside world.
At the Wufang Dojo, a new day also kicked off.
Many people like good people.
But many people don't actually have a very accurate definition of a good person. What exactly does it mean to be a good person?
Are those who like to laugh on weekdays a good person?
Are those who keep a straight face no matter what they do, bad people?
Yes, everyone knows that you can't judge good or bad by looking at their face. Everyone knows the truth, but when they meet a kind-hearted and smiling person, most people will still think that he is a good person, right? At least it will be better than a person with a sullen face.
People who keep silent feel more like they know good people, right?
Just like when free pancakes are distributed at the entrance of the Five Directions God's Dojo, there are more people in one queue and fewer people in another queue.
The cakes are the same, but the people distributing them are different.
One has a bright smile, smiles before saying anything, his face is rosy, and he nods to greet the believers when he sees them, and the other has a sullen face, without even a smile, although he also nods to each believer who receives the cake.
Salute, but the number of people in the two queues is obviously larger on the smiling side.
There are believers who, after seeing the person with a sullen face, will turn around and go to another team, then take a piece of cake from the smiling Taoist priest, and say in passing, "The God of the five directions is above, the Taoist priest is really
What a good person...』
The Taoist Master Xiao would nod humbly and say Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, indicating that this was a blessing from God and that they were just doing this on behalf of the Gods of the five directions. If they wanted to thank the Gods of the five directions, they should also thank the gods of the five directions.
In the unsmiling queue on the other side, even if the believers took the pancakes, they left almost immediately. They would not say anything to the frowning Taoist priest with a sullen face, and did not even thank the gods of the five directions.
The pancakes are the same pancakes, and they are all made by the Taoist priests of the Five Directions Dojo, so they seem to distinguish the good from the bad.
Taoist Xiao’s basket of pancakes was quickly finished. Then Taoist Xiao laughed, saluted the believers, and then turned back. Only when he passed by the Taoist priest who was frowning and sullen,
Only then did some sarcasm appear in his eyebrows...
Taoist priest Chen Ming frowned and had a sullen face.
He is very tired.
He had not slept well for three or four days in a row. The lack of sleep made him very uncomfortable, but he still insisted on finishing the things at hand.
It must be done, otherwise others will find trouble again.
Without the laughing Taoist, his team received the pancakes faster, and finally the pancakes in the bamboo basket in front of him were distributed before the cloud board in the dojo rang.
Chen Ming walked slowly towards the resting place in the dojo. He felt like he was stepping on muddy ground. Not only was his feet soft, but it was also sticky and he couldn't lift it up.
According to Qiao Bing, this is Chen Ming's blessing!
Chen Ming continued to work overtime, night shifts, long shifts...
Blessings, great blessings, good blessings from the gods of the five directions.
It was like he was on duty all night again yesterday.
Continuous night duty.
And this month, it is not the first time that he has been on night watch continuously like this.
He has to do this continuously every two days. Of course, the most important thing is that the night watch does not mean that he can sleep in the next day. He must also get up early and go to the gate of Wufang Dojo to teach believers.
Distribute pancakes, and then follow the same instructions to do morning classes...
People who practice Taoism cannot stop taking morning classes and evening classes no matter what. If a person who practices Taoism is out socializing all day long, then what is the point of practicing?
Qiao Bingdu said again and again that his favorite time was when he was in Sichuan and Sichuan, when there were not so many people and he had little status, let alone the time when he was the leader of the Five Directions God Dojo.
At that time, he was quiet, clean, and pure, praying for the gods of the five directions. It was the time when he made the most progress in his practice...
Have to work hard!
What a blessing!
So, can Chen Ming say that he is tired to death and not do the work of cultivating the gods of the five directions to bring blessings?
Can we compare whether we are tired as individuals and the great blessings from the Gods of the five directions?
"Heaven will give you a great responsibility..."
When Qiao Bing gave Chen Ming "blessings", he always said this first.
Therefore, Chen Ming could not go back to sleep right away. He had to go to morning classes with everyone first.
After morning class, it’s time to make breakfast.
After eating breakfast, I had some personal time, but it was only for an hour. Then I had to get up again, continue chanting, and then do various things...
In other words, Chen Ming could only rest during the period after breakfast.
It's just that during this time period, the dojo is full of people coming and going and the noise is loud, so the quality of sleep can be imagined.
Compared with the private courtyard in Qiao Bing, the residence of Master Chen Ming is very simple. It is a four-person room that is slightly better than the average Datongbu. Moreover, among the four-person rooms, sometimes they conflict with each other and are better than the average Datongbu.
The shop needs to be bigger...
The dojo is relatively closed, and to the outside world, it is almost like a shrunken city.
In such a narrowed place, the contradiction will not become smaller at all, but may become larger.
Anyone with a little bit of social experience knows that the words "trouble comes from the mouth" are not just words, nor are they a casual way of saying "I am a straightforward person, don't mind"
This will avoid subsequent problems.
There is often a joke in later generations that someone who survived four years in college must be grateful to his roommate for not killing him. Although this statement is quite exaggerated, it does illustrate how terrible "misfortune comes from the mouth". Because of the momentary excitement,
Because of his own speaking habits, he has caused lifelong regrets, which no one wants to see.
Before there were strict laws, it would not be a big deal to say something or criticize on the Internet. After all, it is impossible to follow the Internet cable to check the water meter. But on weekdays, I am used to commenting and criticizing on the Internet, and accidentally in reality
I let it slip...
Chen Ming was the one who spilled the beans, and the person he was talking about was Qiao Bing.
Therefore, Chen Ming has now received a lot of blessings as a reward for his courage to speak up.
And not only did he receive a lot of blessings, Chen Ming also received a lot of "Heavenly Generals and Great Responsibilities".
Since it is a "big task", of course it will be hard work.
When your body is exhausted and you have worked extremely hard, can you still laugh?
Chen Ming did not smile, did not smile to God, did not smile to believers, so some people would think that he was probably a bad person.
Gloomy and crying, who should I show it to?
This kind of person is not a bad person. Could it be that the one who smiles and has kind-hearted intentions is the bad person?
