Speaking of martial arts, I don’t see any routines. The moves are all done according to my own ideas, but they are just walking up the mountain frequently and my skills are brisk. On the other hand, this bow and arrow is a special skill of every household. Everyone has practiced it, especially Zhou Bao. He can shoot quickly with a bow, and within 200 steps, he can always hit the target. The rest of the people are only around a hundred paces, and their accuracy is not as good as his. Zhou Xing went up by himself and tried a few arrows. The arrows also flew out and staggered, but after about 30 steps, they fell to the ground. Everyone roared with laughter, but Zhou Xing didn't care. He hadn't practiced anyway, and he would have time to practice in the future. It would be difficult to catch up with Zhou Bao, but he still had some hope of catching up with the others.
Every day and night, there was nothing to do. A group of seventeen or eight people gathered in Zhou Xing’s classroom, ordered Songming, and sat around chatting. On this occasion, Zhou Xing showed off his deception skills that he had developed as a sales manager. Moreover, he came from a later generation, and he had seen more of the world than the people in this villa. No matter what he said, it was always the same thing. Talking about the prosperity of Chang'an and Chengdu outside, and the vastness of Guandong and Western Regions, even the calmest Zhou Bao's eyes were filled with light, and he was eager to go out and see more.
Zhou Xing was not in a hurry. He drew figures on the ground with tree branches and analyzed the distribution of mountains and rivers around Hanzhong and the power of the feudal towns one by one. These young people usually only work as farmers. Even if they go out of the mountains, they only go to the town to sell. Even the county magistrate feels that they are out of reach, let alone these world heroes and famous military generals. After hearing these things that may not have happened in dreams, it was like a book from heaven. Within a few days, I was convinced of Zhou Xingshi and was astonished. I once went home and told my family how big a village is. This festival has not been over yet. Everyone knows what has been said earlier: Zhou Xing knows the sky from above and geography from below. All major events in the world are under control. Who is in charge of planning? The heads of the school are also happy because they just want their children to learn how to read. They didn’t expect that Zhou Xing is such a god-like figure. It would be great for the children in this village to learn 10% to 20% in the future. What a talented man. I'm glad I made a wise choice. Uncle Zhou was even more glad that he didn't persist, otherwise he would regret it to death?
On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the children all came to class again. These children had already received countless warnings and instructions from their parents. When he saw Zhou Xing, his admiration came from his bones, which made Zhou Xing feel very embarrassed.
In the blink of an eye, it was February. On this day, Zhou Xing was in class, but Zhou Ronger came over in a hurry, saying that Uncle Zhou asked him to come over and that he had something important to discuss. When Zhou Xing heard that there was something big going on, he didn't dare to delay. He arranged for Zhou Hui to take key classes for review, and he and Zhou Ronger hurried to Zhou's house.
On the way, Zhou Ronger told Zhou Xing that about 10 more households of villagers had come from outside the mountain and wanted to resettle here. Several household heads in the village were discussing at his house and asked Zhou Xing to give his advice to the counselor.
Before we arrived at Zhou’s house, we saw at the entrance of the village. There were always sixty or seventy people, old and young, standing or sitting, surrounded by people walking around with baskets on their backs, and some even pulling cattle and farm tools to rest there. , to see people coming over, just to look at them.
When we arrived at the Zhou family, in addition to the three Zhou brothers and the three heads of the Wang family, Zhou family, and Chen family, there were also two strong men in the courtyard, about thirty-four or five years old. Looking like Zhou Xing coming over, although he smiled innocently and nodded in greeting, he couldn't hide the tiredness on his face.
Uncle Zhou and the others, seeing Zhou Xing arriving, hurriedly moved to the upper wooden pier. Zhou Xing said a few polite words and had no choice but to sit down. Uncle Zhou said: "Master, you also saw that they I just came from outside the mountain and want to settle here. We asked the master for advice." Zhou Xingdao: "We have been in this villa for more than ten years, and we have only been here for five years. There are about ten households, why are there so many people here all of a sudden today?"
Those two strong men saw that Zhou Xing was already fair-skinned, very different from the mountain people, and they were so young. , but he was moved to the top by several elders and called Master. He thought that this master must be unusual. Seeing Zhou Xingwen, the two of them hurriedly stood up and cupped their hands. One of them said: "Master, outside in the twelfth month of the lunar month, the battle was fierce. If it weren't for the fact that there was nothing we could do, this poor family couldn't leave, so we couldn't delay it." The family came into the mountains with their families."
Another person said: "Yes, this battle has been going on for more than two months. This soldier comes and that soldier goes away every day, and I don't know why. , I can't always fight it off. The soldiers came once and suffered a disaster. They either wanted food or people. They captured both men and women. We had no choice but to abandon our homes and flee. We were three people. Quan people, we all walked this far north, and encountered more than a dozen insurgents on the road. They wanted to kill and rob. Our brothers led everyone to fight to the death. More than thirty people, old and young, died before we killed those gangs. Son of a bitch. I didn’t dare to go along the way, so I went into the mountains. My two brothers were less than twenty.
”
< p> Before he finished speaking, he burst into tears. The other person also had tears streaming down his face, and he just held back and kept silent.Uncle Zhou sighed: "We are all poor people."
Zhou Xing also remained silent. In troubled times, people's lives are as cheap as dogs. Uncle Zhou said to Zhou Xing in a low voice: "They are all poor people. Now that they are here, we can't drive them away. Besides, although we came first in this valley, there is no right to monopolize it. It's just that more people have come since then. There is a dispute, but it is not going well. Master, I still need to come up with a charter."
Zhou Xing nodded. The people in the villa are living a peaceful life now. If they can maintain the status quo, it will be better. choice. Now that so many people have suddenly come, although the land in the valley is enough for farming, it is normal to have some doubts in my heart, and I am afraid that in the future, the guests may deceive the guests. It's just that these people are from farmers' families, they have a kind heart, and they feel sorry for others. If they say they won't stay, there is absolutely no way they can say it.
The other family heads, seeing the man in pain and sadness, all stepped forward to comfort him, and it took a long time for him to stay. Zhou Xing thought for a long time and remembered the half of the notice that Zhou Can brought from outside the mountain years ago. It had the words "Twelfth lunar month of the first year of Tianfu" on it. It seemed that during these days, it was Wang Jian and Zhou Maozhen who fought for the prefectures of Shannan West Road. Zhou Maozhen and Zhu Quanzhong , competing for the Guanzhong states andThe fight for control of the imperial court was fierce. Thinking about Xingyuan Mansion, it is located in a strategic location, so it is inevitable that you will fight for it.
With the people outside and soldiers coming and going, there is no way to survive, and more and more people will flee into the mountains. At that time, many people will come, but not all of them may be as orderly as the two brothers, knowing that they come first and arrive first. If there is someone who is so tyrannical and unreasonable, it will be too late to regret it. Moreover, some refugees have nothing to live with. Not to mention seeds and farm tools, they don’t even have food rations. If they are ignored and extreme poverty changes, there will be disaster. For today's plan, we must deal with it carefully and make early preparations.
Zhou Xing and Uncle Zhou discussed it and asked his second uncle to take the lead. First, he would lead the young and old outside to each house, so that they could at least have a place to rest. How to arrange it will be discussed later.
The two men, seeing Zhou Xing's arrangement, figured they had no intention of driving them away anymore, so they felt relieved and went out to coordinate the assignments to various families.
This week Zhou Xing said to Uncle Zhou and the family heads Wang, Zhou, and Chen: "Uncle Zhou, uncles, in our valley, for more than ten years, these dozens of families, the villagers You are humble and have always been peaceful and peaceful. There is a chaos outside now, and there will definitely be villagers from outside coming in to seek refuge. If we don’t make preparations early, I’m afraid our peaceful days in the valley will come to an end.
The head of the Wang family nodded: "This is exactly what Master said. If we only come to these dozen households, we can pass by just being a little tight. We are afraid that too many people will come at once and we will eat them again." , we live here, and we have this land. If there are no rules and regulations, if something goes wrong and things become chaotic, our peaceful life of more than ten years will be blown away by the strong wind. We invited you here because we think the master is very knowledgeable. , give us an idea."
Uncle Zhou said: "Yes, yes, we farmers have good intentions, and we can't help others when they are in trouble, but we also have a family. If you have business, you can't destroy our good Zhuangzi for others. We are all working in the fields. If we have any long-term plans, why don't we invite you to discuss it?"
Zhou Xing smiled and said: "You uncles think highly of me, and I don't dare to hide my clumsiness. From the perspective of me, the chaos outside can't be calmed down even if I'm young. Our village is getting bigger and bigger." As you can imagine, if you want to achieve peace, you have to make a long-term plan. This kid’s plan is really big. If the uncles are willing, I will talk about it.”
Zhou Xingbu. He calmly said, "We all think this villa is good for a few reasons. First, it has beautiful mountains and clear waters and good weather. Second, there are many wastelands and the land is fertile. Third, although each family is not rich, they have enough food." , Fourthly, the people are simple and honest, and there are no aggressive, unreasonable or lawless people. The five mountains are remote and there are no harassment by officials, soldiers, and bandits."
Everyone nodded, and the head of the Chen family said: " That's what the Master said."
Zhou Xing said: "Since all the uncles agree with these points, these methods of the boy are derived from this."
Start of weekly tourHe proposed his own methods, one of which was the public land distribution method. All the fields in this valley are owned by everyone in the villa. All foreign villagers who want to live here and open up wasteland must have the consent of the villa. Secondly, they are not allowed to open up wasteland at will. The land must be allocated and divided by the villa. The number is based on the population of each family. Calculate, each person over eight years old can be allocated six acres of wasteland for cultivation. All newcomers are treated equally.
For the old residents, each family is entitled to 8 acres. If each family exceeds this number, it will be registered in the village according to the existing acres. It will not be reduced. If the number does not reach this amount, it will be registered. Past fields, make up the quantity. Whether it is open or not is up to each family.
This Zhou Xing has also been a sales manager. Although he is not a high-ranking official, he knows that whether you want to establish rules or reform distribution, the first thing is to protect the vested. Otherwise, if everyone opposes it together, it will be strange if it can be implemented. His method first satisfied the interests of the several house owners present and the old residents they represented. Naturally, everyone had no objections. After all, the newcomers were restricted and also satisfied the master mentality of the old residents. New villagers have just arrived, and the rules are unified and easy to enforce. Everyone made some estimates and found that the current valley has a radius of seven or eight miles. Even if there are a few thousand people, the land is enough.
Zhou Xing’s second method is to protect armor. In the current villa, several family heads discuss matters, and then each family head goes back to coordinate the small households of his own family. The status of each family head is established by convention. In fact, it has no binding force. It's just that the people in the mountain are used to it. If the villa is big, there will inevitably be some tyrannical people who refuse to obey discipline. Therefore, Zhou Xing proposed that the ten companies should be classified as one A, the top five should be classified as one small guarantee, the five small guarantees should be classified as one medium guarantee, and the five medium guarantees should be classified as one large guarantee. Compiled in this way, there are more than a thousand households in one camp, which must be enough for the current scope and boundaries of this villa.
This Jia chief was first recommended by ten families, but to become the Jia chief, it must be recognized by the Villa Elders Association. If the Villa Elders Association does not approve it, it must be re-elected. This is to prevent tyrannical people from controlling Bao Jia.
The leader of Xiaobao is called Baozheng, so he is first proposed by the Shanzhuang Elders Association and then elected by the Shanzhuang Elders Association.
The Villa’s Elders Council currently consists of a few family heads, and will be expanded to 11 people in the future. These family heads are hereditary members for life. Even if they pass away, there will be other elders who will choose their sons and nephews to take their place. In the future, anyone who has lived in the villa for more than three years and is over 30 years old can be elected by Baojia and enter the Council of Elders, serving a three-year term and can be re-elected.
The role of Baojia is, first, to mediate disputes between various families, second, to supervise banditry and outsiders, and third, to convey the policies of the villa and execute the orders of the villa. If Bao Jia is a bandit or a lawless person, or colludes with strangers from outside, which is detrimental to the villa, if Bao Jia reports on it on his own, the prisoner will be punished. If no one from Bao Jia discovers and reports the crime, all members of Bao Jia will be punished.
This protection method is to organize each separate household into a management that is accessible from top to bottom.The system brings everyone into a tight organization, which naturally plays a huge role in ensuring the tranquility of the villa. As for what Zhou Xing said about the election of the Elders Council and the Baojia Chief, it was almost Zhou Xing's democratic ideas that were at work.
After listening to Zhou Xing's method of protecting armor, several family heads found it a bit troublesome, but at present, these people are really useless and add a lot of burden. But if you think about it carefully, according to Zhou Xing's Baojia method, all new villagers can be quickly integrated into the management system of the villa. Ensure the original good order of the villa. Moreover, with the Baojia Law and the Council of Elders, the ownership of this valley can be openly and openly declared, and only then can there be a basis for the Public Land Law. At the same time, the existence of lifelong veterans also prevents threats to the order of the villa after the arrival of powerful families.
The third method is the public leasing of public warehouses. The victims must have everything when they flee. Those victims who have no food must be allowed to survive before the wasteland can be opened to produce grain, so as to avoid trouble. This requires the establishment of public warehouses. The current old residents, no matter how big or small, can keep enough food for each person, one and a half kilograms, per day between now and the harvest. The rest of the grain will be counted and placed in the public warehouse.
