The eyes of the strong man surnamed Li flashed. Of course he could see that the three people in front of him were all from the Lian family; although the one at the front seemed to be a rich man, but his martial arts might not be as good, he must also be from the Lian family.
He asked very cautiously: "What does this young master have to say to the villain?"
The person who suddenly interrupted was naturally Yun He. He had just listened to the two of them chatting, and he didn't pay much attention at first. Even when he heard them praising that the current police were much better than the previous government officials, he had no reaction, but after hearing the last few words he said,
After saying a few words, he became alert and came over to ask questions.
Yunxi said: "Don't you know the name of this strong man?"
He hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to tell his real name: "I am Li Zhiliang. I make a living by ferrying people at Longwandu outside the city. I also have a few shops on the shore."
'From his tone and appearance, he doesn't look like an ordinary hard-working coolie. He must be a man with several ships. He doesn't show off in the capital, but he is just a rich man in the local area.' Yunxi thought.
Yunxi said: "I am Sun Lin, the hereditary commander of the capital, and one of the people who is now the judge in Yingtian Mansion is my relative, so I am very interested in what Li Zhuangshi said at the end. Can we chat more?"
At this moment, the man who went out to buy bamboo hats and raincoats came back. Yunxi winked at the man and asked him to go up first, and sat down next to Li Zhiliang.
Seeing his posture, Li Zhiliang knew that he would not succeed if he didn't say more, and asked: "What do you want to ask, sir?"
"That's the one you just mentioned..." Yunxi asked.
Yunxi asked several questions in succession. After getting the answers, he took out a piece of paper and jotted down the key points. He suddenly became interested in Li Zhiliang and asked, "I wonder what Li Zhuangshi does on the shore besides ferrying?"
Li Zhiliang naturally didn't want to talk so much to someone he didn't know at all, but he somehow felt that he couldn't refuse the question of the person in front of him. He considered it and said: "There is a company that sells dry food to people who are far away.
Boat equipment, a family that sells fishing tackle.”
"Selling dry food?" Yunxi asked again.
"Yeah." Li Zhiliang said.
Yunxi wanted to ask again, but suddenly the guard beside him whispered in his ear: "Master, there is an acquaintance coming down from upstairs."
Yun He quickly glanced sideways and saw his cousin Chang Jizong standing at the top of the stairs, looking at him in surprise.
Yunxi also had a look of surprise for a moment, but he soon recovered and said to Li Zhiliang: "I have nothing more to ask the warrior, thank you warrior for telling the truth." He also threw a few cards to him.
Always precious money. Li Zhiliang wanted to give it a few words, but seeing that 'Master Sun' had already stood up and stopped talking to him, he thought for a while and collected the money.
Yunxi said to Chang Jizong again: "Cousin, why are you here?"
Chang Jizong had also recovered at this time and said with a smile: "Today is the full moon of my second brother's eldest son. I specially took a day off to go home to celebrate the full moon of my second brother's eldest son. I don't want to have a meal at noon and go back to the camp in the afternoon.
It rained heavily."
"Oh." Yunxi recalled that Chang Sen's eldest son Ji Yao did have a son born last month. At that time, he and Xiyao each gave the Chang family rewards.
"Cousin, come and sit for a while." Yunxi said. Chang Jizong did not dare to disobey him and came over with his own soldiers.
Li Zhiliang felt strange: This man and the 'Mr. Sun' who asked the question earlier are cousins. The clothes they wear are made of similar materials and their family backgrounds should be similar. Why do you feel that this cousin is afraid of his cousin?
Yunxi didn't care what he was thinking. After Chang Jizong sat down, he said, "Why do you go back to the military camp today? It's the same thing if you stay at home for one night and go back tomorrow morning."
"I never met my grandfather back then, but I heard from my father that when my grandfather was here, even though the late emperor had already founded the country, he still lived in the army every day. Even when my sister-in-law was born, she only returned to the country for half a day before returning to the military camp. I regard my grandfather as my father.
The goal is, even though I know my talent is not as good as my grandfather’s, I still want to learn from my grandfather’s style.” Chang Jizong said.
"If you want to be as awesome as grandpa, of course you have to fight. Only in war can you develop your true skills." Yunxi said. Chang Jizong Nuonuo agreed.
Yunxi looked Chang Jizong up and down again. Of course Chang Jizong also went to the battlefield when he put down the Luxie Rebellion, but he had been in Yunxi's army and only won battles around Jinan. He was just
For a thousand households, although Yunxi temporarily added a guerrilla general, he did not lead many troops, and the leading general who served as the vanguard did not dare to let him die in battle and protected him, so he could not fight much.
However, he still showed a certain commanding ability in his limited combat, and Yunxi was quite optimistic about him.
'When there is a war, let him be the deputy general of the vanguard.' Yunxi thought.
Later, Yunxi said a few words to him again. Although the rain was still heavy, he was unwilling to wait here any longer, so he put on his coir raincoat and bamboo hat and returned to the palace.
Of course, when Yunxi returned to the palace like this, he would not go directly to the palace where political affairs were handled. Instead, he came to his own bedroom in Qianqing Palace and told Wang Xi: "Hurry up and boil the water, I want to take a bath."
"Your Majesty, the water has been boiled. If Your Majesty wants to take a bath, you can take a bath right away." Wang Xi said. He had asked the eunuch to boil the water just after it rained and waited for Yunxi to come back to take a bath.
"And I have already asked the eunuchs in the imperial city to boil water. If the guards who follow His Majesty want to take a bath, they can do so right away." Wang Xi added.
Yunxi didn't say much, but just ordered: "Get ready now, I'm going to take a bath soon."
After taking a bath and having the palace maid who was very good at massaging massage her again, Yunxi lay comfortably on the bed. Although he didn't feel sleepy, he didn't want to move lazily.
But Wang Xi looked at Yunxi and hesitated to speak. His expression was seen by Yunxi, and Yunxi smiled and said, "What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince of Yong'an County who went to Fusang wrote a letter to Your Majesty. I don't dare to open it because I don't know what it is." Wang Xi said.
"He wrote me a letter? Isn't it a memorial?" Yunxi asked in surprise, then stretched out his hand and said, "Show it to me." Wang Xi immediately handed the letter to Yunxi.
Yunxi opened it and looked at it for a while, then laughed and said: "So that's the problem." What Zhu Mengxuan said in the letter was why the Fusang people did not value the family as much as the Ming Dynasty.
For Yunxi, this question is actually not difficult to answer. Although Fusang has been a member of the Chinese cultural circle since ancient times, its social form has always been very different from that of China, but is very similar to Europe.
Like Europe, Fuso maintains a feudal system. Local feudal lords are hereditary. Although Fuso's shogunate has greater power than European monarchs in the Middle Ages. When the shogunate is prosperous, it can use various methods to abolish daimyo and appoint people it trusts.
Although he held the responsibilities, he could not go against tradition and abolish vassals and establish counties.
In this case, like Europe, there is a lack of social class mobility in Fuso. People in the same social class are basically related to each other and cannot form a Chinese-style family system. Social activities are basically organized around the family, so
I don't care much about "people in the family" with the same surname, I only care about family members (in Europe, it is more about individuals). China actually had a similar period, that is, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the children of the royal family became like ordinary nobles after a few generations.
There is no difference anymore.
As for why the family system cannot be formed, it is closely related to the feudal system. Under the Chinese bureaucratic system, bureaucrats in various places have no substantial connection with the people, because the imperial power does not extend to the county. The lowest level of political power is the county, with tens of thousands of people in a county.
The death of a few people will not affect the county magistrate's income or the evaluation of his superiors, so he will not care. This also means that the county magistrate will not go out of his way to rescue a few people.
But ordinary people will encounter some temporary difficulties every day, such as the head of the family suddenly getting sick and needing outside help. Since they cannot count on the county magistrate, they can only get help from other places. The Chinese family system came into being under this situation.
.It was actually a mutual aid system for the common people at the beginning. It was the most suitable mutual aid system chosen by the people of China after thousands of years of natural selection.
Europe is different from Fuso and China. They have always had a feudal system. The most basic feudal lords-knights or samurai-may have only dozens of households under them as a source of income. Even if there is a problem with one household, it will directly affect the situation.
For their income, they can only fulfill the obligations of feudal lords to help residents with temporary problems tide over difficulties, so that civilian households can continue to provide them with income in the future. In this way, the people do not need to find another mutual aid system and can just stay with the lord.
, although the lords usually exploited them much more harshly than the magistrates.
The same principle applies to the noble class. Since each noble has a higher-level lord, they can get help from the superior lord or the same-level lord who belongs to the same lord, and there is no need to form a family.
But how to explain this truth clearly to Zhu Mengxuan made Yunxi very confused. To understand this requires a deep study of Fusang and Chinese history, and he needs to learn the 'materialist view of history' instead of the traditional Chinese view.
The historical view of emperors, generals and ministers should analyze issues from the perspective of social changes.
After thinking about it, Yunxi decided to write a book introducing the materialist view of history. He wanted to analyze the reasons for the demise of the Qin State and the various policies implemented from Liu Bang to Liu Che in the early Han Dynasty from a perspective unheard of by people of this era. Of course,
This is still an internal reference book within the clan and no one else is allowed to see it.
Thinking of this, Yunxi stopped lying down, jumped up from the bed, let Huang Lu grind it, and took out his pen to start writing "Internal Reference".
Yunxi, who had written thousands of words in one breath, felt his writing hand sore. He shook his hand vigorously and thought to himself: "This brush is too difficult to use. I will ask the craftsman to make a pencil or quill some other time."
