Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

Similar conversations continued to take place in various parts of Lujiang. Leaving aside the final outcome of these people, under the leadership of the Lujiang Propaganda Department, the officials of the local public security bureaus caught many crooked people.

This move not only made the originally somewhat chaotic wind reviews start to tilt in one direction, but also filled the already crowded cell to the brim, forcing the person in charge of the Department of Public Security to apply with Zhang Yan to temporarily confine the county to the city. The small prison in the belt has been expanded a lot.

At the same time, the officials of the Civil Affairs Department also dispatched at the right time to announce the rescue of those suffering women from Lujiang.

With the cooperation of several government departments under the jurisdiction of Lujiang, the fear of the people of Lujiang towards the corpses hanging and fixed outside the city was quickly calmed down by everyone.

Instead, the news that "all the thieves from Shanyue were killed" made Lujiang's "hawks" ecstatic and the "doves" silent appeared in the chats of Lujiang people after dinner.

Of course, during this process, Zhang Yan's popularity in Lujiang, and even in the entire Jiangdong area, has grown in an almost irreversible trend.

I have to say that people are actually quite strange, or quite contradictory.

Although the people in Lujiang, or in other words, the people in the whole Han Dynasty, have a lot of rejection of those who have lost their virginity, but this is at the level of the gentry, not at the level of ordinary people.

Among the low-level people in Lujiang, many middle-aged and elderly people are very sympathetic to the plight of these victims, and many people choose to become tap water, spontaneously helping Zhang Yan to publicize and scold the evil deeds of those Shanyue thieves, All the rubbish things about Sangoe that I knew were turned up in one brain.

You must know that there is almost nothing new under the sun. Many stories that happened on the Internet in later generations can actually find a similar parent in the long history of two thousand years or even longer.

After the public opinion in the entire Lujiang River began to lean towards Zhang Yan, Shanyue, who was afraid to mention it at the level of ordinary people, suddenly became a street mouse that everyone scolded, and Zhang Yan, who had the courage to attack Shanyue, Naturally, he was portrayed as a people's hero who loves the people like a son and is full of courage and ambition.

Chapter 19 Among the three major events in Lujiang

Under the guidance of such public opinion, Zhang Yan demoted all the remaining Shanyue to slavery, and ordered them to build a spectacle for themselves with high intensity, and the decree was successfully implemented without arousing any opposition among the Lujiang people. Opinions and rejection ideas.

What's more, many people even started to keep silent about Shanyue, even those whose buttocks were too crooked, dare not say any more, and then go to show others that they are very fond of Shanyue's rich life of getting something for nothing. longing for.

After all, in the current Lujiang River, there are still quite a few people who think that Zhang Yan's punishment for Shanyue is too light.

……

"Hey, I don't know how those women who have suffered have survived these years."

"People's hearts are made of meat, compare your heart with your heart, if my family and children encounter such a thing... oh, don't say anything."

"Being able to bring these people back to Lujiang, Zhang Taishou really is, I cry to death."

……

After learning from the Secretary of Civil Affairs that many girls captured by Shanyue had returned, many people in Lujiang began to discuss this matter.

In any case, although in this era, people's cognition of some things will inevitably be a bit extreme and old-fashioned, but after all, there are still some people whose family members were taken away by Shanyue, and their affection for their families in their hearts exceeds their own face Therefore, he also began to try to contact the officials of the Department of Civil Affairs in Lujiang, wanting to see if he could find his former family members among the returned women.

For this situation, Zhang Yan naturally raised his hands in favor.

In addition to these people, there are also some people with relatively flexible minds who also began to inquire about the situation of those women from the officials of the Department of Civil Affairs.

For them, Lujiang...or Wancheng suddenly had hundreds of unmarried women of the right age, which is not a trivial matter.

You know, most of these people who care about unmarried women are bachelors. Although these rescued women are not so perfect under the current values, these bachelors are not rich children, and they are not qualified to go Pick and choose.

Under such circumstances, everyone should pay attention to each other and live a good life with a partner, which is the most common inner thought of these bachelors.

For these bachelors, they can't find a suitable wife under the existing economic conditions, so naturally they can only lower the standard.

These people are an excellent target.

If these two groups of people get together to live together, the bachelors will naturally get married and start a family as they wish. In this era, the heaviest need on these people-carrying on the family line can be smoothly resolved.

As for those women, it can be regarded as being able to get a relatively stable destination, so that they will not really die alone.

It can be said that in the eyes of these bachelors, being able to live a good life is already a very good thing.

But after they inquired repeatedly for a long time, they found that, except for a very small number of these rescued women who chose to go home, most of the rest were actually arranged in a newly built building outside Wancheng. In a residential area.

At the same time that they were a little curious, another piece of news came out from the Lujiang Industrial Division, which had been silent for a long time.

This is the second major event that happened in Lujiang in recent days.

Following the original chemical fertilizer factory in Lujiang, a second civilian factory was established, which is the Lujiang County Textile Production Factory.

Unlike the chemical fertilizer factory, the textile factory can be regarded as Zhang Yan’s first large-scale commodity production factory. The products involved range from noble silk to cheap cotton and linen. Since its establishment, A large amount of textiles were continuously produced, and then under Zhang Yan's instructions, products such as silk were sealed up, and cotton and linen products flowed into the Lujiang market at a relatively low price.

These women turned into the first batch of female workers in Lujiang overnight, and began to earn wages like men to support themselves.

We must know that the modern industrial revolution started from the handicraft industry, especially the textile industry. It is not a pure coincidence, but has its own internal reasons.

In addition to the invention of the Jenny machine, a tool that can qualitatively change people's productivity, the industrial revolution started from the textile industry, precisely because at that time in the world market, clothing was the most urgent thing people needed.

As the saying goes, a person's life is nothing more than the four needs of food, clothing, housing, and transportation. At that time, the two points of "living" and "travel" did not directly affect a person's living conditions.

At the very least, if you don't drive a car, you can't die if you don't live in a building, but if you don't wear clothes, you will definitely freeze to death. This is a hard requirement.

Food, which is also a rigid demand, has been ruthlessly eliminated by capitalists because of relatively low profits.

Similarly, Zhang Yan also had his own considerations in choosing a textile factory as his second large-scale production factory.

From the worker's point of view, Zhang Yan now has hundreds of women who have nothing to do, and they happen to be the first batch of workers to "contribute" to Lujiang and the future of Dahan.

And textiles, especially silk fabrics among textiles, can be said to be the top priority of Dahan's annual foreign trade, accounting for more than [-]% of Dahan Dynasty's trade income.

Why is the Silk Road called the Silk Road and not the Porcelain Road, the Tea Road or even the Spice Road?

These are all Porcelain Dad's forte, and they are the iconic high-profit products of the entire China.

That is naturally because, during the long journey, whether it is sugar tea, spices or porcelain, these things are either easy to break or mildew. In the end, only silk can cross the distance and bring another great empire of the same age to the world. : The people of Rome were completely conquered.

In addition, the people in Lujiang also had a lot of demand for low-priced cotton and linen products. Naturally, Zhang Yan chose the textile industry as the beginning of Lujiang's industrialization, just like in history.

You know, women's participation in work is quite a rare thing in this era.

Before that, weaving was regarded as a craft most of the time, which belonged to the behavior of housewives in various families.

In order to obtain a large amount of silk or cotton and linen products, the state generally adopts taxation methods to collect, or simply purchases or collects directly from the people when there is an additional demand for use.

This naturally has certain benefits. The country does not need to make additional investment. As long as it collects taxes, it can continuously obtain some silk fabrics to support its foreign trade.

But I have to admit that under such a small workshop production mode, the output of textile products can hardly meet Zhang Yan's demand.

In order to solve this problem, the production mode of centralized and large-scale production came into being.

As it is now, the way that the state directly provides raw materials and tools, and the people produce and receive wages is actually very novel to most people in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Especially for those women who have always had no economic status at home, this can be said to be quite exciting.

For those women who have no family property and cannot buy a loom for themselves, this kind of heartache is particularly serious.

Chapter 20 Three Major Events in Lujiang

Oh, isn’t it just weaving? Those young girls can do it, and we middle-aged housewives can do it as well, and we can do it faster, better, and better than them.

That being the case, these returning women can go to work in textile factories, what can we housewives not do?

After all, at this time, these women are no longer young girls, they are all married people, so naturally they don't need to pay attention to their own innocence, and restrictions such as not being able to be seen by outsiders.

And when they get wages through these jobs, not only can they improve their status in the family, but they can also help their husbands fill in some household expenses, which is good for everyone.

In the past, although these people were able to weave cloth and make clothes, most of them were just the behavior of individual families. The cloth weaved was finally made into clothes and worn on their own family members.

In other words, even if they have more time to spare, they can only produce according to their own family needs. If they do too much, it is not only difficult to sell, but there is even no place for them to sell it.

Now that Zhang Yan has started this and started to set up a textile factory in the name of the country, these women who have nothing to do on weekdays and can only be idle with their husbands and children can naturally devote themselves to the production of textiles.

Assuming that the cotton and linen raw materials are called the first-level product, that is, the "primary production", then the cloth is the "secondary production" produced by trial cotton and linen. Not only is the cost of centralized storage much lower than that of cotton and linen, but the actual The value is also higher than that of cotton and linen raw materials.

These high-value products will eventually be sold in the form of real wealth and become a force for the future development of Lujiang.

Of course, no matter how you say it, things like cotton cloth and linen are positioned more as civilian commodities, so the value is not too high. Zhang Yan just kept all the remaining products after keeping the minimum stock. The cost price was lowered to the Lujiang market.

This kind of behavior once caused the price of clothing in the entire Jiangdong to be shaken. For a while, the people in Yangzhou, and even in Xuzhou and other places adjacent to Yangzhou, began to wear brand new clothes.

As for the extremely expensive silk fabrics, they are regarded by Zhang Yan as the second main product of Lujiang along with fertilizers. When he needs them, they will be continuously dumped to other states and counties to make profits for him. .

This kind of behavior will not stop even if the Han Dynasty is unified in the future. At most, it will only change the target of dumping to the rich and backward Indian Empire Maurya Dynasty, and the second Persian Empire-Sasanian Dynasty.

That's right, although the current time is only 188 A.D., while the ancient Eastern Empire, the Han Dynasty, was on the verge of collapse, the First Persian Empire in the Middle East: the Achaemenid Dynasty was destroyed hundreds of years ago. Destroyed by Alexander III.

And now, galloping in the Iranian Plateau is the Parthian Empire established by foreigners, that is, the Parthian Empire or Parthian Dynasty, which is very famous in later generations.

Although the Parthian Empire was extremely powerful in terms of force, their leader was a nomadic tribe from Central Asia, so there were constant rebellions within the empire.

In about 30 years or so, the Parthian Empire will be quickly destroyed under the rebellion of Persian Governor Ardashir I.

And rising from the remains of the empire is the Second Persian Empire, the brand-new dynasty established by the Sasanian family of Ardashir I - the Persian Sasanian Dynasty.

This powerful country, in the next few hundred years, will trade between the Wei, Jin and Rome as a middleman, and it can be said that it will make a lot of money.

This situation did not gradually stop until the Arabs in the west established Dashi.

Now, since Zhang Yan has traveled thousands of years to this land of the Eastern Han Dynasty, naturally he will not give up the fat of Persia in the Middle East so easily.

After quelling the war in the entire Huaxia land in the future, Zhang Yan not only plans to re-establish the Protectorate in the Western Regions, but also plans to expand the Silk Road, along this commercial line, dumping all kinds of trade products of the Han Dynasty to the West. Persia, and even Rome, made a lot of gold coins from Iran and Rome.

It can be said that whether it is the fact that Shanyue was wiped out by the Han army, or the fact that Lujiang started to set up a textile factory to produce a large number of textiles, these are the most important events experienced by the people of Lujiang in recent years.

②6⑧㈤б○五Э

As for the third thing left, it is related to the farmland.

According to the information issued by the Lujiang Propaganda Department, Zhang Yan, the prefect of Lujiang, ordered this time in his official capacity as a big Han to start recruiting a large number of young and strong laborers, preparing to open up wasteland in Lujiang County this winter and reclaim a piece of land directly belonging to the state. come out.

The reason why he chose the method of "pre-recruitment" is naturally because it is still in the middle and late August of the lunar calendar, and every household is busy farming, so no one is willing to help him reclaim wasteland.

Not to mention, this time the government organized wasteland reclamation in a centralized manner, but it didn't say that it would distribute the reclaimed wasteland to the farmers who participated in the reclamation, but directly owned all of it by the Lujiang government.

But then again, although the effect of Zhang Yan's pre-conquest and convening of the famine is relatively average, it is only in comparison with the other two major events in Lujiang before.

Although those people who have arable land are not willing to mention the country to reclaim wasteland, they just want to take care of the one-acre acre of land in their hands... But for those tenant farmers, especially the poor tenant farmers who have already been unable to get rid of the pot, such a job Exactly what they want to be involved in.

Leaving aside the reclamation this time, Zhang Yan, the prefect, would prepare a complete set of reclamation supplies for them. The mere fact that a set of farm tools was given away for free to all those who participated in the reclamation was enough to make these tenants ecstatic.

You know, why are tenants tenants?It's not because of the family's various plunder and usurpation that these original farmers lost their land, and they can only make a living by renting the family's land for farming.

Before they develop into lower-level serfs, these tenant farmers will naturally seek new arable land for themselves as long as they have the opportunity, so as to realize the social progress from tenants to self-cultivating farmers.

Your country organizes land reclamation?

That's fine. During the day, I will naturally have the right to cooperate with you in reclamation, and all the reclaimed land will belong to the Lujiang government. I only need some wages.

But... in the early morning and evening, or during the usual meal time, I secretly used the farm tools you gave me to reclaim some wasteland for my family. You, the prefect, can't say a word of disagreement, can you?

The best, paddy fields or fertile wheat fields that can grow rice are all officially owned by you. As a tenant, as long as I can get a few acres of barren land so that I don’t have to rent and plant the landlord’s land every year, I am quite satisfied.

I have to say that although it is a bit humble, this is the actual thinking of most tenant farmers in Lujiang.
