Chapter 2 Zhou Li

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    You can see Zhuhe River when you go out, which is about seven or eight feet wide. If you shout from the other side, Yunyao can hear it. If Yunyao shouts, you can also hear it from the other side, because Yunyao's lung capacity is very large.

    After cleaning the floor and eating thick and glutinous dried fish and millet porridge, the day's work officially started.  Work is the reason why Yunyao has a large vital capacity. The work he has to do every day is to brag.

    There is also a simpler thatched house on the shore, which contains the tools for crossing the river: canoe, gourd lifebuoy, and cowhide raft.  Different river crossing tools are used by different people, and the preparation of the cowhide raft is undoubtedly the most difficult.

    In order to maintain the cowhide rafts, the four cowhide rafts must be deflated before work is completed every day, just like removing the bowstring when not in use, to maintain the elasticity of the bowstring.  In order to maintain the life of the cowhide raft, the judges taught us to carefully protect the cowhide air bag. It is not necessary to deflate it more than halfway and then inflate it when using it.  Of course, when it comes to actual use, you definitely can¡¯t improvise, otherwise you¡¯ll be able to blow for a long time just by blowing, so you have to be prepared every day.

    Yunyao thought to herself that in the future era, cowhide would be stuffed with real objects, so there was no point in boasting about it.  But if Yunyao really fills four pieces of cowhide with real objects, she will probably be charged with destroying the cowhide raft during the assessment at the end of the year.  Chinese people these days are very serious. To put it harshly, it is called stubborn. Everyone adheres to their duties and rarely changes. If Yunyao dares to challenge this Zhou Li created by Zhou Gongdan, then she must be prepared to take responsibility.  Prepare.

    Yunyao was not prepared, so she just kept bragging and treated it as a lung capacity training. Anyway, she has the loudest voice in the fief now, and of course her voice is also the most beautiful. Sometimes she can't even sing two sentences out of boredom.  It can make all the birds lower their heads, all the fishes bubble up, all the animals raise their heads, and they are immersed in her beautiful and loud singing, making the poor transformed time-travelers feel like they are dreaming back to a Disney princess.

    The weather is nice today, so I took out the gourd lifebuoy to bask in the sun.  This gourd lifebuoy is actually a few empty gourds tied to a hemp rope. The buoyancy of the empty gourds helps people cross the river. People who are not qualified to ride in boats or make rafts have to swim across the river.

    With the expansion of agricultural civilization, transportation has become more and more important. In the past two years, Yunyao has clearly felt that the number of people crossing the river has been on the rise. More and more scholar-bureaucrats are coming from the capital on business trips. This shows that the territory of Lu State is becoming more and more important.  It is getting bigger and there are more and more things to manage.

    Even Yunyao¡¯s fief is becoming more and more lively.

    "Mother Du, this year's list has been announced. Spring plowing is about to begin. Farmers expect it to come in the next few days."

    Yunyao looked up and saw a middle-aged man with his hair in a bun, walking and shouting, walking in a hurry on straw sandals, wearing old clothes with gray linen and the right hem.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    Yunyao immediately clasped her fists and saluted: "Hello, uncle." Although Yunyao is the highest noble in this land, it does not mean that she can cover the sky with one hand.  Because theoretically she does not own the land, all the land in the Lu State belongs to the monarch. Therefore, although the land is entrusted to the nobles, the monarch still sends people to manage it. This uncle is the manager sent by the monarch.  , that is, Yunyao's retainer.

    It is still the early days of the Zhou Dynasty, and public ownership is far greater than private ownership.  It's like Yunyao and Lu Guogong are doing business together. Yunyao is a director and does not interfere in the business. The company's operations are naturally managed by Guogong's team, and Yunyao only needs to receive dividends.

    As the times progress, private ownership will gain the upper hand, and there will be more and more talented people. At that time, the nobles will naturally be able to find their own retainers, but now all the talented people are in the capital. Chinese people like Yunyao who have had great luck and become nobles will definitely  It needs to be managed.

    And this middle-aged man is Yunyao's CEO, and his position is Zai. Because he is older than Yunyao, he is called Shuzai. Zai means a noble steward. From the emperor, to the princes, to the officials, everyone  Industries all need to be managed.  The emperor's chief minister is a team, and Yunyao is just a baron. One chief minister can take care of everything.

    "Uncle Xinxin, I will trouble you about the spring plowing. When the farmers come, I will prepare food to entertain them." Yunyao walked to the river and pulled out a water cage made of fishing nets and bamboos from the water.  There are live fish inside: "I caught a few fresh live fish here. You can take one back and make rice porridge. It tastes very good." Because he is just a baron and there is nothing good to win people's hearts. There is only one live fish.  A little expression of my feelings.

    Fortunately, these days, the scholars are still brave enough. In order to promote agricultural civilization, the scholars, as the lowest nobles, work hard, regard the affairs of their superiors as their own affairs, and work tirelessly and without complaint.

    This uncle came to the north bank of Zhuhe River, far away from the capital, and the conditions were difficult.It's like being exiled, but as long as the monarch lives, he has no choice but to do so.

    "Thank you." Shuzai was polite, because he knew that Yunyao was a clever girl who lived a good life. Although she was only twelve years old, she became independent and could fish and knit. She earned praise with her hard work. She was a good girl.  A good person like her father.

    Yunyao's father was also a good man. He saved countless people from drowning on the banks of the Zhuhe River. He was devoted and dedicated. Even if he became a noble, he only had one wife. Later, he had to pass the title to his daughter.  However, Shuzai heard that Duke Zhou had begun to establish clan inheritance, stipulating that only the eldest son could inherit the title. From now on, women would no longer be able to be honored.

    "You're welcome." He picked out the largest fish from the net, passed the fish's gills with thin strips torn from a banana leaf, and then hoisted the fish up and gave it to his uncle to slaughter.

    The two stood together in sharp contrast. Yunyao was as white as a cloud of smoke, while Shuzai looked like an old farmer.  Of course, Shuzai doesn't know how to farm, and even the savages don't know how to farm, so farmers from the capital are needed to teach farming, and they will also bring seeds and farm tools.

    The core knowledge of agricultural civilization is in the hands of the Chinese people, and the savages are their teaching objects. The civilization continues to radiate outwards with the city as the core.

    ?City, suburbs, pasture, and wilderness. Zhuhe is still considered the wilderness of the Lu State now, but according to the current development rate, it is estimated that in a few years it will become the pasture of the Lu State, or even become a suburb.

    Yunyao is witnessing the rise of a civilization. As for the surrounding savages, they have no other choice but to join. After all, these savages are still at the level of collecting civilization, so how can they be the opponents of agricultural civilization.

    It is precisely because of expansion that there are many requirements. Zhou Gongdan's Zhou rituals are standardized cultural molds, which are constantly applied to everyone, not only the original core civilization people of the Central Plains, but also the newly conquered savages. Everyone has rituals to rely on.  , with etiquette to follow, etiquette available, standardization, scale, concreteness, and theorization, Chinese civilization is gradually maturing.
