I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 167 The Trend Led by Zhi Shi
Such a thing as education, right?The families of Zhuxia have always attached great importance to it, but they only pay attention to the education of the core clan members. The rest of the people who are not relatives or relatives should save it.

Nowadays, each family has its own private school. The prerequisite for entering to study is blood relationship. Without blood relationship, there is no environment for literacy.

Another point, whether it is big seal script, small seal script, clerical script... Anyway, no matter what the script is, it is not easy to learn the hieroglyphs on Zhuxia's side, and it will take a long time to learn the characters.

Therefore, before the emergence of pinyin, the teachers needed for universal education will be beyond imagination, and the related difficulties will be far greater than imagined.

Zhiyao uses simplified characters when taking some notes, but she has not been doing the promotion of simplified characters for the time being.

About Pinyin?Zhiyao actually thought about whether to do it, including promoting simplified characters.

Since no one can help with this, Zhiyao needs to do everything by herself.He is doing it slowly, the more terrible thing is that he can recognize the letters, and the initials need to be recalled slowly, and he can remember more than just recalling.

In general, simplified characters can be written word by word, and pinyin is a big project.

Also, is it Spring and Autumn?Many fonts have not yet been born, and the words are pitifully few.

In terms of culture, Zhiyao is doing it alone. I don’t know how long it will take, maybe it will take 20 years, maybe a lifetime?

The Wei family is engaged in education itself, and they had no area with other families before. The reform they want to carry out now is to allow more people to join in.

So, will Wei allow non-blood relatives to get an education?Based on people's perception of the value of knowledge, it may be difficult.

Zhiyao thought about it for a while, and agreed to Wei Ju to provide a certain amount of paper, including related accessories for paper writing, that is, inkstone and ink.

pen?Wei's own own, can also produce.

In fact, it is the relationship between the current business atmosphere that prevents Zhiyao from selling paper in a big way, otherwise becoming the richest man in the world is almost a matter of minutes.

Resources are in the hands of a few people, and most people have no resources. It is not difficult to guess what the business atmosphere will be like.

Nowadays, it is common for families to carry out large-scale transactions, and the retailing is carried out by each family in some cities.

If Zhiyao sells paper in a big way, it will not benefit the common people, but it will give the rest of the family a chance to catch up.

What the Zhi family wanted was to always be ahead, and it would not be a good thing for other families to become stronger.

Waiting for Zhiyao to accomplish a great thing one day, even if the land is distributed to Li Shu, it will be difficult to promote education to the Li Shu class in a short time.

To put it bluntly, people can’t get enough to eat, they need to work for their own stomachs, and they have to pay taxes. At the age of eight or nine, they need to do all kinds of work. How can they spend time on education?

"Education or something depends on the level of productivity. It is difficult to improve the production level without education. Now it is difficult to find high-yielding crops across the ocean. Rice..." Zhiyao felt that she had done enough Well, at least it has benefited the "legends" within the family.

One thing that must be clearly understood is that during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, the Central Plains did not grow rice in large quantities, but mainly planted various types of millet, and various beans were added after harvesting.

Even if the Central Plains began to plant a large number of rice, in fact, the yield per mu was less than one stone at the beginning, and it can be said that the yield is really not very good.

Rice cultivation in the south is not high-yielding, and the yield per mu is close to one stone, which can be considered a bumper harvest.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, Chu State was able to fight the Jin State for a hundred years of war for hegemony. There is a saying that at that time, Chu State’s rice was harvested twice a year. It is a bit difficult to say whether it is reliable or not.

However, considering that the climate of Jin State in the Spring and Autumn Period was similar to that of Guangdong, maybe Chu State really had two crops of rice a year?

From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period, Chu State had never been troubled by food shortages, and they were even able to sell or donate large quantities of food to foreign countries again and again.There are quite a few records on this point.

There was also no shortage of food in Jin, and even though soldiers were used every year, there was no mention of food shortage in Jin in historical records.

just right?In the various versions of history books that record the Spring and Autumn Period, it seems that food shortages are rarely mentioned?Is this because of the climate problem, that is, there are no frequent natural and man-made disasters, so that even if the army is used every year, there is no critical food shortage?

"There was no man-made disaster before, but it will probably happen next time." Zhi Yao firmly believed that her idea was correct.

In the past, the wars of various countries did not deliberately target Li Shu, nor did they destroy the other party's production system.

In the future, the wars of various countries will seek to attack the war potential of the enemy country, not only will they attack Li Shu in a planned way, but will also wantonly destroy various facilities of the other party.

The person who starts this spell is already looking to retire, and wants to spend the rest of his life perfecting his writings.

The person who followed the pace of the times was Zhao Yang. He attacked the Wei State several times and took away the Wei people in batches. He also had disputes because he asked Handan Zhao to take care of [-] households of Wei people.

Zhiyao can also be regarded as one of the people who practiced, as can be seen from the last military operation against Zheng Guo.

"My lord." Zhiyao finished her work and came to Zhishen.

And Zhishen was looking at a list and worrying.

This list is about bounties, and there are too many people who had nothing before, and who will have their own farms, houses, and servants after being rewarded.

"Yao, is the reward too generous?" Zhishen has hesitated for two or three days.

Zhiyao said calmly: "The law has been announced, and the strength of the new army is obvious to all. Why are you still hesitating?"

Why?It's not because the only people who can get the rewards are the "disciples" and above, and it's nothing for a small number of people who are below the "disciples" to get rewards. If there are too many people, it will have a great impact.

Seeing that Zhishen was still hesitating, Zhiyao repeated: "The law has been announced."

Whether it is good or bad, the rules must be followed anyway.What's more, the new law not only inspired the new army, but didn't you see that the enthusiasm of the rest of the Zhi family was also inspired?
Zhishen put down the list, took a deep breath, and said, "Since the Fan family is dead, my family will continue!"

For those who don't understand the background of the times and the past of Fan's family, it will sound completely inexplicable.

It's obviously Fan's name, so why is it prefixed with "Shi"?That is, one of the head of the Fan family took up the position of "judge" in the state of Jin.The judges are not only the chief judges of Jin, but also undertake the important task of revising the laws of Jin.

The Fan family is proud of that, and in the future, it will be different from using the fiefdom as the family name, choosing to use "shi" as the prefix of his family.

The Xun family has similar examples. For example, "Bank of China" was born from a certain deed, and because of pride, a new Xiaozong appeared.

Even if the state of Jin has become a mess, Zhiyao is still looking forward to getting the position of "Judge" from the Zhi family.

Zhishen said: "There is another matter. The sage said that my family counts meritorious deeds with the head, which is really cruel."

Yes, it does seem brutal.

In these years, it is not because there is any deep hatred, no one will use the enemy's body to attack after killing the enemy, or even have a good burial.

I don't know where the comments about Zhi's brutality first appeared. Not only have voices of accusation appeared within Jin, but even other countries have also aroused a lot of negative public opinion.

"Is it okay to cut off the nose and ears?" Zhishen asked.

It wouldn't be cruel to cut off a nose or an ear, would it?

If anything, it really is.

The reason is that in ancient times there was a related method of recording merit, and many of the criminal laws in the Zhou Rites were aimed at mutilating people's limbs, such as cutting off noses, ears, fingers, toes, palms, and soles of feet.

The criminal laws of the Zhou Rites inherited the more ancient formulations.

People are used to it!Don't you feel like nothing?
Recently, Zhiyao has talked with Zhishen about related topics frequently, and the old saying is new, saying: "Nowadays is a world of great controversy, it is okay to reform and strive for strength. What other people's words are better than self-improvement?"

Besides, fighting with a head hanging from the waist is really very deterrent to the enemy. The timid people turn around and run, and the enemies who are still fighting are not frightened?

It can add "Buff" to Zhi's army, but it can also put negative "Buff" on the enemy army. Why should it be changed?
"That's all, that's all." Zhishen signed his name first, and then took out the seal of the patriarch and stamped it on the signature place.

With the signature and the seal of the Patriarch, the list of rewards is only handed over to the relevant personnel, and it can be regarded as approved and executed.

"The Wei family wants to train a new army, and the Zhao family, the Han family, the Hu family... all follow closely behind." Zhishen said this with pride on his face?He must have thought it was too much face.

Zhiyao smiled wryly in her heart when she saw it, and regretted letting the new army appear is nothing.

Zhi family, Zhao family, Wei family, Han family and Hu family are the current high-ranking families of the Jin state. It is a good thing for the Jin state to continue to seek to increase its military power.

Doesn't Zhishin understand that today's allies could be Mingren's enemies?He must know that it doesn't prevent him from being happy because Zhishi pretended to be aggressive, and at the same time he is also happy that Jin's military strength can be enhanced.

"The Wei family wants to practice three 'brigades', the Zhao family has a 'teacher', the Han family has a 'second brigade', and the Fox family has a 'brigade'. Will my family increase?" Zhishen still seems to have a sense of crisis?
Zhiyao: "..."

Daddy!
It's true that other families are training new troops. They are not engaged in a standing army, are they?

If they also want to adjust the standing army, things will become very interesting.

Regardless of whether each family followed the example of the Zhi family to build a standing army, each family in Jin State was training the new army, which was actually a big change in history.

There may be some reforms in various countries, but what Jin is doing is a kind of reform, or a spontaneous search for a new way out.

Just this point, even if the historian did not record it seriously, Zhishen will leave a heavy mark in history.

After all, the new changes in the state of Jin were brought about by the Zhi family, and the current leader of the Zhi family is Zhi Shen!

"Do you want to increase the number of standing troops?" Zhiyao began to think seriously.
