The political management of the Ming Dynasty has never reached the countryside.
The rule of successive dynasties has never been able to reach the countryside.
This gave powerful landlords the opportunity to become powerful...
After Yun Zhao wrote this paragraph in his notebook, a deep sense of powerlessness filled his body. .
After resting for a while, he got up and put on a smiling face to accompany his mother to Yunhe's wedding.
Yunhe is not a relative of the Yun family. There is no name in the Yun family tree. He is just an old villager living in the village.
Perhaps many years ago, his father or grandfather, or more distant ancestors discovered that living in Zhuangzi, the surname Yun could get a little more help than other surnames, so he decided to changed his surname.
Although when you first change your surname, you will definitely be despised by others, and you will also be ridiculed by the Yun family members.
However, after they withstood the ridicule and contempt, his descendants could always enjoy the benefits that people with other surnames could not enjoy.
Yun Zhao didn’t know if this vision was right, but if this continued, it would be just around the corner for the whole village to have the surname Yun.
Especially in the past two years, many people have changed their surnames.
With more people, there will be no one to laugh at. There is only one Yun Zhao in the Yun clan. People from the Yin clan never get involved in their own affairs. The only person who can speak well is Yun Qi. A tribe of people.
However, the Yunqi people are too distant from their own clan and cannot take care of these things.
Because Yunhe’s surname was Yun, the gifts Yun Niang gave to their family were heavier than others, for example, an extra silver hairpin.
On a luxurious banquet with nine large bowls in Lantian, only Yun Niang and Yun Zhao were seated. The elderly host sat half-full. After the dishes were served, he toasted Yun Niang with a glass of wine. , and left with Xin Xing.
A banquet with nine large bowls costs at least one tael of silver. This is already the most luxurious standard for banquets held by villagers.
There are so many people in Yunhe’s family that they can only support this table, and the rest are just big pot dishes.
Yun Zhao was very curious about the nine-bowl banquet. After seeing each one one by one, he couldn't help but work up his appetite. When he was about to have a big meal, his mother glared at them.
I saw my mother pick a chopstick from each bowl, put it in a coarse porcelain bowl, put it in front of Yun Zhao, and said in a low voice: "This table banquet is worth one tael of silver. Take a look and make it." The master chef waits for us two to finish, so that he can pour the food on the table into the big pot for everyone to enjoy. Why are you so greedy?"
Hearing what his mother said, Yun said. Zhao immediately lost his appetite and hurriedly shared the nine bowls of mixed food with his mother before saying goodbye and going home.
“This time Yunhe is respectable. The lady of the house and the young master had a bowl. Last time at Liu Laoba’s house, the lady of the house didn’t even drink a sip of water.”
"Yes, it is indeed honorable, but if you can't buy a tael of silver from this table, Yunhe can be considered a big investment..."
My mother went back, but Yun Zhao kept the money with him. Come down, he likes to see such festive scenes.
Qian Shaoshao mixed up a bowl of miscellaneous food from somewhere and ate it deliciously with the pot helmet, but Yun Zhao watched Yun He's somewhat dull groom officer being teased by everyone.
When the bride came in, there was nothing surprising. When a farmer married a wife, physical strength and ability were the first factors.
When the bride accidentally exposed her big feet while walking, the whole crowd burst into laughter.
Grandma Xi, who was supporting the bride, kept pointing at the men who were making noises and cursing, but the bride wanted to chop off her feet at this moment.
Seeing that the faces of Yunhe’s father and mother were about to turn into the bottom of the pot, Yun Zhao walked into the crowd, looked at the bride’s big feet and said, “Great, I will marry you later. My wife must marry someone with big feet!"
Shao Shaoqian looked around and swallowed the food in his mouth with difficulty, then shouted: "Bound feet are ugly and smelly, Master, from now on. If my wife has small feet, I will knock her to death when she comes in."
Yun Yang, who came to the banquet, also frowned and said, "I don't want anyone with small feet either."
As for Yunjuan, Yunshu, Yunfei and Yunshu, the most promising children of Yunjiazhuang are naturally speaking in unison.
“I don’t want my little feet, my wife! I have a pair of perfectly good feet that are made like that and walk like a fat duck, no!”
“Xiaoyu, don’t bind your feet every day. It makes me feel bad to see you like you can't even walk..."
Hearing Yun Juan shout these words, a half-grown girl in the crowd screamed and covered her face. Ran away.
As for Yun Zhao and the others, their mouths opened wide when they saw Yun Juan, who had never wanted to speak in front of others...
Yun Zhao took out two taels of silver from his sleeve and put it on the The wooden tray held by Granny Xi was regarded as a dowry for the bride.
Even though the bride’s grateful gaze was blocked by the red hijab, Yun Zhao could still feel it.
One sentence can save a person, of course Yun Zhao can do it, not to mention that he hates the binding of feet. He is even disgusted with his mother's feet, let alone other things.
Yun Zhao believed that if his group of people put out such words, no matter their age, it would become a custom for everyone in the Yun family not to bind their feet in the future.
This is the role of the squire in the countryside. He can change customs. If he takes on the identity of the county magistrate, it will be useless in this situation and may even attract a scolding.
"I actually like small feet."
Qian Shaoshao and Yun Zhao whispered softly after they left the house.
"Okay, let your sister re-tie the removed foot bindings first!"
"Forget it, let's all marry big-footed wives in the future, but, It can't be too big, right?When I go to bed at night, I sit up and count my toes. I see a pair of feet that are bigger than mine. How should I feel? "
"Huh? If you don't sleep well at night, why are you counting your feet? "
"I have to know that my sister is still here, right? "
"Can't you count your heads? ”
“You don’t know this. When you count your head and find that my sister is still there, and when you count your feet and find that my sister is still there, isn’t this a double happiness? ”
Yun Zhao shook his head and left in a hurry. He always felt that there was something wrong with the kid Qian Shaoshao’s mind. Now he is sure that something is really wrong with his mind.
On Yushan Mountain The gun-making workshop still hasn't made much progress. Not to mention the Qi Jiajun's flying bird gun, even the three-eyed gun that Yun Zhao got from Hong Chengchou can't compare with it.
Even the best. Even good shotgun players cannot master the shotguns made in Yushan. The shotguns are clearly aimed at the target, and the lead bullets often go elsewhere after flying out.
It even explodes...< /p>
Yun Zhao knows what kind of gun is good, but if he is asked to make his own gun, he is not as good as the craftsman on Yushan.
However, the research on paper bullets is quite good. Great progress has been made - that is, the gunpowder and lead bullets are put into a paper case in a fixed amount, which is broken when used, and the gunpowder and lead bullets are poured into the barrel.
Although. This invention was hardly an invention in Yun Zhao's eyes. However, after Yun Fu tested this paper-cased bullet himself, he strongly requested Yun Zhao to mass-produce this ammunition - because, after the enemy entered the effective range, he had previously He can fire three shots, and with fixed gunpowder, he can fire five shots.
“Don’t underestimate the extra two shots, he can determine the outcome of a battle! "
Yunfu's expression was unusually serious.
"I always feel that there should be something better. "
"I don't want better, I want this! "
Yunfu's words are non-negotiable.
"Okay, we can mass-produce this. ”
Yun Zhao agreed with Yun Fu’s view. In fact, he also knew that if he wanted to make further progress in bullets, he needed to research the mercury fulminate.
The reason why he We went to great lengths to get people like Tang Ruowang, Deng Yuhan, and Luo Yagu just for these things.
"I received a letter from Miss Feng Ying yesterday saying that they all went to Kuizhou. "
Yun Fu was somewhat sad when he said this.
Yun Zhao said calmly; "Tell Feng Ying that Kuizhou is not a good place and not suitable for the clan to live. "
Yunfu said in surprise: "Why? "
Yun Zhao looked at the opposite wall and said with some sadness: "Sun Chengzong supervised the army in Liaodong and marched into the Daling River to prepare to rebuild the Daling River Fortress. "
Yunfu said in confusion: "What does the matter in Liaodong have to do with Kuizhou?
Yun Zhao glanced at Yun Fu and said: "It will matter. You canYou will know later. ”
