Age of mythical princes

Chapter 166
"Prefect, I am here to build a Confucian world of Great Harmony!"

Jiang Hua nodded slightly.

"I plan to strictly abide by Zhou Li and build this county according to Zhou Li."

Jiang Hua continued to nod.

"In my opinion, the reason why the world is in such chaos today is entirely the result of the collapse of rituals and music."

It is a question whether the collapse of rites and music caused the chaos in the world, or the chaos of the world caused the collapse of rites and music.

"If I were to govern this county, I would first set up all the land in the county as a well field system. All the land is royal land, all of which belong to the public, and are only temporarily allocated to the people at the bottom for planting. All land is prohibited from being bought and sold. It cannot be transferred, and if you really want to sell it, you can only sell it to the public again..."

These are originally the content of the well field system. It is normal for Wang Jujun to have such thoughts.

However, the well field system had already collapsed back then, and if it continues to be implemented in another place, there is a high probability that it will still collapse.

However, most of the time it doesn't make sense.

Moreover, failure itself has value.

Hearing this, Jiang Hua reminded: "Mr. Wang, with your cultivation and identity, of course you can easily complete a certain task to prove your strength, and you are the second to visit me, so you can also directly Choose a county to practice your ideals."

Having said that, Jiang Hua waved his hand, and the projections of ten counties appeared on the table.

"But I want to make an agreement with you three chapters in advance. Everyone who practices their ideals must abide by these regulations. It is not aimed at Mr. Wang alone. Please understand."

Wang Jujun nodded, expressing his understanding.

"First of all, the number of dead people should not be too many. Except for those who died naturally, it should not exceed one in a thousand. Once it exceeds, it will be regarded as a failure of practice."

It is understandable that some severe punishments or some special means can be used to kill chickens and monkeys, but not too many people can die.

"Secondly, one cannot be punished without teaching."

"Of course, punishing someone without teaching is a form of abuse, and the Jujun understands this truth."

"No matter how reformed, some outrageous decrees cannot appear, such as the right of the first night..."

"Of course, Jujun has always demanded himself with the standards of a gentleman."

"This time there are only ten spots, so each spot has a special meaning, and all the Qi refiners in the world are watching you."

"So, before the practice begins, I hope that Mr. Wang can write down his governance and reform ideas. If possible, I will publish it directly to the world."

"In addition, after Mr. started to practice, the wind watchers affiliated to Caifeng Pavilion will make all-round records. This record includes the laws and decrees made public when Mr. Wang was in power, and also includes the real scenes that the wind watchers themselves saw."

"This is to better record all changes, whether success or failure, with these records, this practice is valuable."

Wang Jujun thought for a moment, and then nodded: "Although I am very confident that this practice will be successful, it is also good to record it, so that other brothers and sisters can refer to and learn in the future."

"Mr. must not prohibit the free migration of the people within the territory. If the people want to migrate to other places, sir must not use any means to intercept them. The wind watchers will record everything. When the migration of the people reaches half, the practice is regarded as fail."

"Our ten counties represent ten different governance methods. If Yancheng is added, there are eleven. The eleven governance methods are compared with each other and attract each other. Let the people choose with their feet?"

Speaking of this, Wang Jujun began to think, and nodded after a while: "I believe that the common people can be educated, as long as they are educated properly, these are not problems!"

"So……"

After the three chapters of the agreement, Wang Jujun continued to talk about his ideas. It could be seen that he was very confident, and even planned to use his ideas to attract Jiang Hua's attention.

"In addition to the well field system, all official systems and official names must also be strictly in accordance with Zhou Li. Nowadays, many vassal states are constantly reforming, and many official names and official systems have changed. This is very bad..."

Listening to Wang Jujun's ideas, Jiang Hua sighed silently in his heart. He only felt that the people under Wang Jujun's leadership would definitely be tossed.I just don't know when Wang Jujun's reform will completely fail this time.

At that time, you have to keep an eye on it. Once it collapses, the experiment will end immediately.

This lecture lasted one afternoon, until the sun went down, and Wang Jujun reluctantly left the prefect's mansion. Before leaving, he also took on a mission. , Taoist groups in the wild.

Looking at Wang Jujun who left, Jiang Hua returned to the study and continued to write the certification standards of the world of Great Harmony that he hadn't finished writing yesterday.

"A stage in the world of Great Harmony, where those who have both hands and feet will not starve to death as long as they work hard."

Is this standard high?

Judging from this standard, all savages and most common people cannot meet it!
The common people living in the villages were oppressed by the countrymen, the common people living in the towns were oppressed by the scholars, and the common people living in the county towns were oppressed by the doctors.

The difference is that the standard of living of common people living in towns is higher than that of villages, and that of counties is higher than that of towns.

But even at the first stage, only a few common people can reach it.

Most of the common people can only be squeezed to death by the nobles.After death, a conscientious noble will bury a straw mat, and then recruit new savages to serve as commoners.A nobleman without a conscience would even use a dead body...

"The next step is the second stage of the Great Harmony. In this stage, hard work will pay off."

"The change from the first stage to the second stage is from starving to being full."

"Two porridge a day, people will not starve to death, but sooner or later the body will have various problems due to long-term hunger..."

"In the second stage, people don't need to be full during the busy farming season. They can also be full when they are idle on weekdays. During the busy farming season, they can often eat meat and see meat."

"At this time, the standard of living of the common people has been significantly improved. They wear more than one set of clothes. In addition to basic living, they begin to pursue neatness, cleanliness, and respect..."

Those who can reach this stage are very few among the common people.You must have a skill, you must be a craftsman, and you must be a craftsman who is not bankrupt. The wives and concubines of the Chinese people and the non-legal sons can all meet this standard.

But how many Chinese are there?

After writing this, Jiang Hua feels that this is really a long way to go!
Just as Jiang Hua continued to write the preface, Wu Qi and his friend Xiao He also came to a certain village.

The village is not big. It seems that there are only about 500 households. Many households are one person. The whole village may have [-] people.

There was a mud wall outside. After taking a look, Wu Qi said, "The villagers didn't build this wall piece by piece with adobes. Someone cast magic and built this wall at once. It seems that Taoism has come into life. False."

Xiao He nodded slightly: "These spells are the life-like Taoism mentioned in the journal."

"This name came from Yancheng, and it came from the mouth of the prefect. He always has such and such fresh ideas, which is eye-catching."

"Such a wall is about three feet thick and two feet high. There are crenels in the middle and places for shooting arrows. It is no problem for such a wall to deal with ordinary herds of beasts." Wu Qi started from the military point of view. analyze.

He was thinking how many soldiers would be needed to take down the wall.

"The fence is very spacious, so we need a lot of people. The whole village only has about 500 people, and less than a hundred people..."

With such a small number of people, no matter how the wall is built, it doesn't make much sense. There are too many ways to break through.However, this is Dongning Island, where can I find a large-scale army?Even if one day the enemy is really able to descend on a large-scale army, he will not leave the county town alone to attack the villages.

Thinking of this, Wu Qi suddenly realized that the previous thinking was meaningless, so he walked in with Xiao He.

When I was at the entrance of the village, I was stopped: "The guest looks a bit unfamiliar, where did he come from? Do you have the identity certificate of the prefect's mansion?"

The moment the old man stopped the two of them, there were several strong men behind them, who had already started touching their knives.Sensing the vigilance of the villagers, Xiao He took out a cyan talisman from under the cloak: "This talisman was issued when the identity was registered."

Looking at the cyan talisman, the old man instantly knew that these were the two top guests.

Yancheng will issue identity certificates to those guests who come to Yancheng. The function of this gadget itself is very simple, that is, positioning.

However, identity certificates of different colors represent different strengths.

White represents ordinary people or Chinese people, alchemists.

Red represents scholars and warlocks.

Yellow represents doctors and priests.

Cyan represents ministers and priests.

Purple represents the first generation of monarchs and innate real people, but no purple identity certificate has been issued yet.

Looking at the two cyan talismans that Xiao He and Wu Qi raised up, the old man's face was filled with smiles. As for the village head, he picked up a communication talisman and began to report to his superiors, although the village head had ten thousand words in his heart at the moment I want to say: Can't you high-minded people just find someone to accompany you as a guide?One and two like to wander around by themselves so much?

However, considering the difference in strength between the two, the village head just thought about it in his heart, and he quickly reported the matter to the head of the township. As for what the head of the township did, he couldn't control it.

Of the two Taoist priests, one was unhappy, and the whole village was gone.

So, accompanied by the village head, Wu Qi and Xiao He began to visit the whole village.

"These houses were built by Taoist people using Taoism. They are all big courtyards with three entrances and three exits. Each courtyard can accommodate at least [-] people."

"Everywhere has a front yard and a backyard. The villagers will grow some vegetables in their own backyards, and they will dig a well in the front yard. By the way, most of these wells are also built by Taoists. It is very fast, almost in the blink of an eye. In between, the well was dug."

"However, the Taoists just dug the well, and we have to install the equipment for pressing the well ourselves. This thing is made of steel, and it is also distributed by the superiors."

Xiao He has already walked in front of the pressurized well, and started to pressurize the water himself: "It's very convenient, even the old and weak, women and children can use it directly."

The village head pulled his beard and nodded quickly: "Yes, yes."

"Nowadays, many people feel that the yard is too empty, and they are not used to living alone or with two people. In many places, several families directly live in a large courtyard."

"At the beginning of the construction, a total of 150 large houses with three entrances and three exits were built in the whole village. I heard that the above plan stated that there would be a maximum of [-] households, and those who exceeded would be moved out directly, and the remaining fifty households would be used as spares. Usually, everyone can go to dry the millet and use it as a warehouse, but if it is used as a warehouse, why not just build it into a large warehouse from the beginning?"

Xiao He took a sip of the pressed water and felt that the quality of the water was acceptable, so he took the initiative to explain: "These fifty households are originally reserved, and with these fifty households, they can be used at critical moments."

"Such as population migration?"

"When migrating people, the speed can't be fast. If it's too fast, the people can't bear it, but the people also need to live every day and night. With these, at least when migrating people on Dongning Island, the death rate can be reduced to almost zero."

"Moreover, foreign merchants and foreign travelers can also live in these fifty households at sunset, and they can also earn some extra money for the village."

"During busy farming season, if the village lacks labor and needs to hire people from other villages to help harvest, do we have to prepare houses for them?"

"These fifty households are equivalent to public housing, directly attached to the village, whether it is used as a warehouse or rented out directly, or in case of future needs, it is very good."

Anyway, the cost is not high, and it is not a loss if it can start to work a little bit.

As he walked, Wu Qi saw a copper gong: "This copper gong seems to be a magic weapon. There are quite a lot of magic weapons in your village?"

"When I was at the door just now, I felt that there was a magic weapon. There is another magic weapon here, and it is placed here directly. This is already the second copper gong magic weapon I have seen."

Looking at the gong, the village chief took a deep breath: "There has been an order from above, saying that we can tell all our secrets directly to the yellow and cyan guests."

"Since the guest is interested, the old man will tell the truth."

"The magic weapon at the entrance of the village is located near the gate. Once there is an accident, such as encountering an enemy, you can use that magic weapon to send a message. The priority of that magic weapon is very high, and the information transmitted is directly to the county magistrate. It is stipulated that within a quarter of an hour, a Taoist team will leave the county town and rush to the village."

"The county seat is only [-] miles away from the village in a straight line. With the speed of the Taoist team, it can be reached in a quarter of an hour to two quarters of an hour."

"That is to say, within half an hour at the slowest, the reinforcements from the county will arrive."

"Moreover, when we use the magic weapon to send messages, the entire county will be mobilized immediately. Even if we encounter a big murderer and the village is destroyed, we can wake up other villages and avoid greater damage."

Wu Qi glanced at the village head's right hand that had been clenched tightly, but said nothing.

"What about the gongs? There are nine gongs in the whole village. Why are there so many?" Xiao He changed the subject on his own initiative.
