I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 389 Invasion?Do not!This is receiving (two in one)

Qi State has been in trouble for the past [-] years. Only the incumbent monarch has passed away five or six?

A country frequently changes its monarch, even if the external countries do nothing, driven by interests will inevitably cause internal chaos.

The Dukes of Qi State were the first ones to become chaotic. Their strength was severely weakened, and the opportunity for the nobles with foreign surnames came.

Tian Qi had been active in various ways a long time ago, and he seized the opportunity to try his best to be a monster, otherwise Yan Ying would not have predicted that the Qi State with Jiang's surname Lu would be overthrown sooner or later.

Originally, there were endless internal turmoil. First, Jin State repeatedly targeted Qi State, and later, Wu State stared at Qi State and exerted all its strength. Qi State's situation is bound to get worse and worse.

So, what did the old Zhi family do wrong against Qi?The mistake is that the fiefdoms of Laozhi's family are concentrated in the eastern part of Jin. Once the fiefdoms of Laozhi's family are concentrated in the west of Jin, believe it or not, the country Zhiyao targets will become Qin.

The sowing season of the new year is coming. After a long period of turmoil, the Qi people will continue to find ways to continue the spring sowing if they want to survive.

However, if you want spring sowing, you don't have to do it yourself.All because there are no seeds, no matter how well the land is served, it is still impossible to sow in spring!

Under that situation, Zhiyao came with a large army and a large number of seeds and farm tools.

This time the army is not the main force, but a force to ensure security.

In fact, Qi State was already powerless to resist any foreign invasion. It wasn't the Zhi clan of Jin State that frightened the other countries, and it wasn't for Wu State to invade again. Lu State or Chen State, which had been rehabilitated, could easily destroy Qi State in the end.

"These fine seeds are not gifts, the second and third son Xiashou need to get [-]% back!"

"To get good seeds, you need to register and make a book, where you live, and there are many people in your family, which is indispensable!"

"The audience must not underreport, and must not overreport. If there is any fraud, it will be severely punished according to the law!"

Zhang Tu worked hard to identify the syllables of each word.

The most terrible thing is that the person who came to inform clearly can speak in Qiyin, but he wants to use the unauthentic Jinyin to shout, and he is willing to repeat it in Qiyin only when he is asked.

You can speak Qiyin, why use Jinyin?It's not that the people from the Zhi family deliberately made things difficult, they just wanted to let the people of Qi understand that the world has changed.

The tax collection has reached [-]%?In other eras, it is absolutely dark-hearted to the extreme, but in the current era, it is normal.

Do you know that the state of Lu collected taxes on self-cultivating farmers?In this self-proclaimed "gentlemen's country", the tax revenue is generally upwards of [-]%!
People who live in turbulent areas all the year round, it is difficult for them to obtain income, and they will consume bit by bit even if they have savings, and they can earn money if they can continue to live; those who are unable and unable to support themselves, they are unwilling to flee to Zhishi’s rule , until it became a skeleton that no one buried.

Zhang Tu tasted it again and again and finally figured out the situation.

The Zhi family from the Jin State came this time, and their army immediately carried out security and stability maintenance, and what they did was to clean up any people in the raging place.Then a large number of auxiliary soldiers entered the cities and villages, not for simple occupation, but mainly to resume production.

"Weapons are no longer the only sharp weapon, but food rations for the day! The Zhi family also brought a large number of seeds and agricultural tools, which brought hope to the people and formally brought the cities and villages under their rule. " Zhang Tu is relatively down and out now, and this can be seen from Youshi that his ancestors are more generous.

Didn't they take out a lot of food, seeds and farm tools in the way of an army sweep?This is not the first time this kind of occupation has appeared in the land of Zhuxia, but it was a matter of ancient times.

Zhishi's march was very smooth this time, and Qi people from all over the country did not resist on a large scale at all. On the contrary, after learning that Zhishi was setting up a factory to provide porridge, Qi people who knew the news flocked to it.

there's no way!

It is difficult to produce steadily under turmoil. In many cases, there is no production, such as planting, but the terrible thing is that many people do not live to harvest the day, or the fields are destroyed before harvesting.

Similar things are too common in turbulent areas, so that too many people who are responsible for recording history have seen it, and they are too lazy to record it seriously.

"One step." Zhang Tu caught up with the clerk who was about to leave after delivering the administrative order.

Shan stopped and looked curiously at Zhang Tu, who was dressed poorly but with poise, looked at the aggressive posture of the other party's salute, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Zhang Tu could see that the handle was from Qi, and he was depressed why he spoke in an inauthentic Jin accent, and asked, "Your step is from Qi, isn't it?"

close?
Administrative staff who want to act impartially, they are actually very afraid of being quilt, enthusiastic response will get more enthusiasm, and then all kinds of human ways will come, and they will become impersonal if they don’t get special preferential treatment; if they really treat hometown people preferentially, Is it unfair to other foreigners?
Therefore, if you really want to do things fairly and fairly, you actually treat everyone according to the rules and regulations.

"It's even from Qi and Jin, but Bin is Homo sapiens!" Shan was very angry when he was questioned.

Shan's anger is nothing else, as a member of Qi before, he had no chance to stand out at all, and everything new was given by Zhi, and he actually regarded himself as a real Homo sapiens. I got angry.

This made Zhang Tu stunned, a little depressed, what to do so angry, and at the same time surprised since when Jin people were not popular, he insisted on emphasizing that he is a member of the Zhi family.

In the past, that is, the Qi State was okay, and the Zhang family also had enough family background. Believe it or not, Tu let the left and right slap him a few times?
It's upside down!
Is there any king law?
Yijie Xu and Zao dare to say such things to the noble lord!

It's not about ordering people to kill them directly, but just giving them a few slaps is still kind.

Now, although Zhang Tu still has some family background, he should understand the truth of "people are under the roof" and can't turn a blind eye.

If Zhang Tu hadn't adjusted his mentality before, after seeing the strategies adopted by Zhi Clan in this wave of alignment, he knew very well that the land under his feet must belong to Zhi Clan's rule, and he would definitely endure some things that should be endured.

"What do I do with this kind of person for a while?" Zhang Tu still hasn't adjusted his position, but he is very sensible in general.

Zhang Tu asked blankly: "I wonder if the Zhi family has a banquet for the local doctor?"

"Doctor?" Shan knew that the person in front of him would be from a low family background, otherwise he would be more domineering.

Zhang Tu laughed at himself, "It's more than a doctor."

is not that right?The state of Qi is about to disappear, and nobles like them who can't find a way to join the Zhi family in advance are lucky to keep their foundation, waiting to accept the ruling.

Seeing Zhang Tu laughing at himself, a feeling of feeling much better came up, and he said: "There is no banquet. If you have the heart to repay, you can go to 'Ai' with one step, and you will know in front of the city gate."

Post a notice?no.

Even if the aristocrats are all literate now, there is a difference in the writing style of the characters of Jin and Qi, not to mention that Simplified characters are already used inside Zhishi.

Zhishi will send people to stay in front of every city gate in every city, not only to attract people who are willing to do things for Zhishi, but also to make relevant records.

At the same time, Zhishi will send people to the homes of famous local people to invite them to work for Zhishi.

This set of practices is actually not good. To use a saying in later generations, it is called "leaving a feudal legacy", and the fact is the same.

It's just that, looking at what era it is now, there are only so many literate people, and even fewer people who are really capable of doing things.If you don't use them, who else can you use?It will become almost impossible to carry out anything.

Of course Zhang Tu registered, and took all the things that should and could be taken.

"The Zhi family wants to buy people's hearts, why don't I take advantage of it?" What Zhang Tu didn't know was that the benefits were taken, how many people and how much land there were in the family, and the information was also controlled by the Zhi family.

Zhang Tu, who took the support, did not leave, and stood by to watch.

Everyone in Qi who heard the news didn't know that the land under their feet would be under Zhi's rule in the future. They only knew that when they couldn't survive, Zhi brought living supplies, and at the same time lent spring seeds on credit. Farm implements can be rented.

I heard, just heard that the Zhi family will also acquire a large number of livestock, and they will also rent them out to the local people for farming.

Plow the land with animal power?This is the treatment only for nobles and lords. Ordinary people use human power to pull the plow!

Of course, the vast majority of ordinary people do not actually own land.

Qi State used to be pretty good. They didn't own the land under their name. In fact, they could go to some prosperous places to work, and even sauntered on the street to make a living.This is the reason why Qi's handicraft industry is developed, and many industries still need labor.

It’s really bad now, there are no part-time jobs, so many part-time workers are unemployed, and they either return to their hometowns to find a way out, or they stay in the local area and are recruited by street sneakers.

"There's a loophole? Zhishi doesn't even investigate who the piece of land belongs to, whoever says it belongs to him!" Zhang Tu wondered whether Zhishi didn't bother to investigate at all, or it was a kind of connivance.

After all, Qi Guo is not talking about ten rooms and nine empty spaces now, and a large number of lands really have no owners.The owners of these lands either fled or simply died in the turmoil.

Most of the Qi people who reported the land did not feel that the land would belong to them in the future. They simply reported the land that they were responsible for farming before, and they had no idea that the land would belong to them at all.

Zhang Tu stood next to the registration staff behind him. Although he couldn't understand what was written, he had a mouth to ask.

As a result, after asking Zhang Tu, he discovered the flaw. While registering, the Zhi family obviously regarded a certain piece of land as owned by the reporter, and did not care how unreasonable the number of acres of land reported by the reporter was.

"What?" He just guessed Zhang Tu's identity and knew that Zhang Tu had the heart to work for the Zhi family, so he answered some questions and said: "The land is owned by itself and then verified. Besides, the land does not belong to the Hold it, it can only be cultivated."

what does it mean?

That is to say, the Zhi family does not claim that a certain piece of land belongs to them, but really assigns that piece of land to whom. The land will only belong to the Zhi family, provide it to whom to cultivate, and then collect taxes that will definitely exist.

To put it bluntly, isn't it the same as the state-owned tenants.

To put it more bluntly, the ownership does not belong to individuals, they only have the right to use the land, and the use of the land is strictly limited, what should be the purpose, and the change of use should bear the relevant accountability.

Zhang Tu would not compare himself with ordinary Li Shu, no matter how downcast they were, they would still feel that they were different from ordinary Li Shu, and had a sense of superiority brought about by their birth.

What can be seen is Li Shu who came, they all look happy, and they are also grateful to Zhi Shi.

"If this is the case everywhere, it is irreversible for the Zhi family to take over!" Zhang Tu thought.

It's not that Zhang Tu is aware of the importance of people's hearts, they never regard ordinary Li Shu as human beings.

What Zhang Tu saw was that there were no families in various places to prevent the Zhi family from doing those things, and he found that ordinary Li Shu would be fully under the management of the team sent by the Zhi family.

No matter how powerful a person is, he must have many tools.Otherwise, can a person do all the work by himself?
The reason why nobles are nobles is purely that they rely on their status to control many resources, and then use those resources to operate, and then use their status and resources to control Li Shu.

The difference between people often lies in the status and status, not the ability or talent between people.

To put it bluntly, people come into the world naked, at least when they open their eyes to see the world, they are fair.Later, because of different family backgrounds, their respective starting points were inconsistent. Some people stood at the end at birth, while others struggled for a lifetime and only took one or two steps forward.

First, the people of Qi who ate Zhi's porridge received a certain amount of grain and seeds, and went home happily.

Zhang Tu, who witnessed that scene, was actually putting the cart before the horse. It wasn't because Zhishi did what he did to get Qidi, it was purely because Zhishi used his own way to get Qidi.

Not a few days later, Zhi's team came over.

Shan was assigned to a village with a population of about [-] people. After arriving, I heard that the village originally had about [-] people. The long-term turmoil caused many people to flee, and some of them died of starvation or illness.

"There are not many young and old in the village, even women are few." Shan knew why this was still the case.

In the era of war, in an area of ​​constant turmoil, the elderly and children who have no ability to protect themselves and lack the ability to work, they really can't survive for long.

As for why the number of women will also decrease sharply?There are really too many reasons, and due to some special factors, it is really impossible to introduce them in detail.

这个村子的人口剩下120六，男性84，女性46；九岁到12岁的人口七人，13岁到35岁110八人，超过35岁的只有一人。

The 42-year-old man was the former speaker of the village, and his status was that of a certain nobleman who came to the village to collect taxes.There were originally 13 of them, but only one died after the turmoil.

"One person monopolizes more than twenty wives?" Shan knew there was a story in it, but his real thought was that he was more envious than angry.

What the hell?There are only 46 women left in this village, and more than 20 of them have become that person's "harem"? ? ?

Lan said: "It's you and me, what do you dare to do in the past?"

Yes, that’s right, the state of Qi is dying. People who will never leave their hometowns without special circumstances, they are also Li Shu who are under the control of the nobles. Even if they know, they don’t understand what they should do, let alone who they are going to There was a fight.

Therefore, the person who collects taxes on behalf of the nobles is still a master, and even has greater authority than when working for the nobles, all because no one in the village dares to resist.

The handle who had been trained didn't think much at all, and said: "There must be a crime, just kill him in a public trial."

After making a decision, Shan felt a kind of pleasure in his heart.

In fact, they have only undergone brief training, knowing how things should be done, and at the same time they must do so, not how high their ideological awareness is after training.

This is also an inevitable phenomenon in the current era. There are too many high-level means that have no room for display. They can only gradually progress according to the old system, and it is impossible to do anything in one step!

If the Zhi family wants to rule this land, absorb some talents, and liquidate most of the old dignitaries, they must not be ordinary winners and losers. A sense of trust is also built.

Zhishi has done similar routines too many times in Qiuyou, Zhongshan, Weidi and some places in Qi, and summed up relevant experience. (Due to some reasons, it is also impossible to describe in detail.)
Gang, Lan and others, what they want to do is to kill the original speaker, and then organize the villagers to have a new birth.

The whole set is to bring a new order to the villagers, bring them into the effective rule of Zhishi, and then become one of Zhishi's powers.

There are too many seniors who have tested them, and the Zhi family attaches great importance to publicity, and the groups that take over the village management one by one, even if there are some small troubles at the beginning, they will soon get on the right track.

Of course, there will inevitably be sacrifices, but under the situation that the Zhi Group is superior in all aspects, the team members who go to the countryside are not too wasteful, and the safety of their lives is still very guaranteed.

Because there are not too many dignitaries in the village, it is actually relatively simple to deal with, and the reception at the city level is much more complicated.

When Zhang Tu came to "Ai", he could tell from the soldiers on duty at the gate of the city that there must have been an incident with a large number of participants.

"More than three hundred people died, and the seven families were expelled?" Zhang Tu was quite surprised.

It's not that there are too many people who died, but seven families were wiped out, and the death toll is only over 300?

do you know?It can be called a family now, at least with the status of a "scholar".Because "scholars" need to receive taxes, they must have a certain amount of permanent property, and they need to manage the permanent property manpower and force on their behalf. No matter how small a family is from the tribe plus the absorbed manpower, there must be dozens, hundreds, or even for more.

Zhang Tu thought about his own situation. They had nearly a hundred thugs four years ago, and there were less than ten left after four years. The total population of the family dropped from more than 600 to less than 200.

That was only four years, and the changes were really too fast.

However, Zhang Tu knew that his family was not bad, so he maintained it no matter what. Many families have become a name that people occasionally mention, but none of the patriarchs and core clan members survived.

"Zhang's?" Tie Pei took a few glances at Zhang Tu, then turned his head and said a few words to a colleague.

Not long after, the colleague brought a booklet.

Tie shovel found the book page recording Zhang's situation according to the catalog of pinyin letters, and asked Zhang Tu a lot of questions.

After watching the whole process, Zhang Tu couldn't help thinking: "The land is still the same land, many things have changed."

So far, there is only one Zhi family who uses paper in large quantities. Many people have only heard of paper, but have never seen it with their own eyes.

In the village, Zhang Tu saw people from the Zhi family recording with brushes and paper, and he felt extremely envious at that time.

Paper, the medium that carries words, a piece of paper can write a lot of words with a brush.

It takes at least dozens of bamboo slips to carry the text on a piece of paper. The difference between the two is simply too great!

For others, a piece of paper that is hard to come by, Zhishi can use it with a random Xu or soap. Maybe some people are just envious, while others can think deeply.

From the moment the Zhi family owned paper, it was actually doomed to leave the rest of the family far behind just in terms of cultural inheritance.

Now, Zhang Tu reported his family name, saw the people from the Zhi family brought the roster, and asked for a lot of information, how could he not understand that the Zhi family had already sent people to learn about various places?
What is very outrageous is that the Zhang family is not a big family, if there is any special output, the Zhi family also has the general information.

Of course, the information Zhishi possessed is actually outdated.

However, just showing this is really quite remarkable, and it even reveals that Zhishi had great ambitions for Qiguo a long time ago.

When Zhang Tu was thinking about things, he suddenly heard asking himself if he would like to work for Zhi Shi, and he froze in place for a while.

"My family is at the time of employing people, and it will pay off if you put in a single step." Tie Pei said.

Of course Zhang Tu wanted to do something for Zhi Shi, otherwise why did he come here?
Afterwards, Zhang Tu was asked a lot of questions, mainly focusing on whether he knew the things in the various villages and what he thought about those things.

Zhang Tu had already heard these questions when he watched the crowd just now, and made a lot of drafts in his mind, so he naturally answered them one by one according to the plan.

"This guy looks very smart, but his eagerness to find a new way out is too obvious. My family needs a group of old nobles from Qi who are willing to cooperate. People like this will have no bottom line. It seems that they can be recommended. Class A camp?" Tie Shovel thought while recording, then wrote a note and handed it to Zhang Tu.

In the back, Tie Pei suggested that Zhang Tu should go to some places to have a look. If Zhang Tu is willing, he can arrange guards to accompany him.

What are you looking at?Zhang Tu felt that it was meaningless, so it was far better to get on the line of someone inside Zhishi and find various ways to make the service more comfortable.

However, is it possible for them to decide their own destiny now?It must be how Zhi Shi arranged it, they acted according to the arrangement.

So, next, Zhang Tu gathered many old nobles of Qi who were willing to serve Zhishi, and under the protection of Zhishi, they started their visit tour.
