Chapter 19 Lord’s Thoughts on Life (Part 1)

Sun Lin’s father was not surnamed Sun, and “Sun” was a variant of Gongsun and also a kind of respectful title.

His question just now was not provoking, but asking whether Han Jue was promoted.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, descendants of the Wang family in various countries were called "gong clan". The current monarch's children were called "gongzi", the monarch's brothers were called "gongshu", and the monarch's children were called "gongsun". After his blood relationship with the monarch was far away, some people came up with various solutions, such as Sun Linfu, who removed the character "gong" and was abbreviated as "Sun". For example, Sun Wu, a military saint, originally had a surname Tian, ​​and this surname was the surname of the monarch of Qi at that time. He should be called "gongsun Wu", but in order to show his break with the monarch of Qi, he changed his surname to "Sun".

Of course, some people call "Uncle Gong" abbreviated as "Uncle", or change "Uncle Gong" to "Uncle Gong", such as "Uncle Gong". Some people would rather die than change it, and have maintained the surname "Uncle Gong" until now.

The above group of people are called "public clans" and "clans". The people who call "public clans" in front of them are "public clans", otherwise they are clans. They are all strong supporters of the royal power and the main participants in the struggle for royal power.

After a hundred years of struggle for royal power, the later kings accepted this lesson, so they stipulated that "private sons" were forbidden to live in the country and had to settle abroad. Only when the current monarch died, the ministers decided which monarch would be appointed, and the people would be taken back to the country. However, this move made Jin lose the tribe.

Therefore, the Jin Office, who felt that the power of the royal power was weak, decided to let those heroes who did not join the ranks of nobles and officials become "public clans". These people are the successors of nobles and officials, and they are qualified to become nobles and officials, so they always stare at the current nobles and officials, fearing that they will not be able to pick on the faults of the nobles and officials in order to fight the current nobles and officials so that they can occupy a vacant position themselves - this kind of thinking is exactly in line with the thoughts of the king of Jin.

However, after all, this group of princes is a descendant of the current nobles and officials, so the nobles do not want them to make too much, and the monarch does not want the small rebellion to anger the nobles and officials too much. Therefore, the successive officials of the royal family must choose a person who is satisfied with both the king and the nobles and officials, and whose prestige is enough to suppress the little troublemakers. Han Jue is such a person.

Han Jue served four generations of monarchs. Every time he met the current monarch's death and the court structure was drastically adjusted, Han Jue, the "old firefighter" was appointed as a "public clan doctor". When the court structure stabilized, the monarch remembered Han Jue's contribution and would remove him from his position as a public clan doctor. When the position above him was vacant, Han Jue would be promoted to the first place.

Zhao Wu wanted to nod, but Qi Ce patted his right leg. Zhao Wu had to shake his head and listened to Qi Ce's explanation: "The head of the family is young and the matter in the court is not clear. Han Bo has been here yesterday, but he just looked at the arrangements of the head of the family and ordered some small things."

Sun Lin's father curled his lips slightly and asked again: "I heard that the Wei family, Han family, and Fan family are dispatching people to give these people to Zhao family... I also heard that the families who were making such a big noise in Xintian City that day, there was a shocking secret among them, right?"

Qi Ce smiled and asked back: "Mr. Wei is still in Xintian?"

Sun Lin's father nodded and said something. Zhao Wu was already wandering around at this time. His fingers stood up in his wide sleeves and reviewed them one by one: "Sweet, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty, five flavors of life! Now, in this era, only salty flavors exist... Maybe there is a sweet flavor, but honey is still a luxury.

I now have a house, a land, a slave, a soldier, and a wife. If I get the five flavors of life together, it would be great to be able to mix in the spring and autumn like this."

At this time, Qi Ce patted Zhao Wu's left leg and seemed to ask Zhao Wu something. Zhao Wu quickly cooperated and nodded solemnly, and then continued to think: "Sothe sour - this seems easy to do. There are apple cider vinegar everywhere in modern times. Isn't the bad wine just vinegar? Nearby, the mountains and forests I see are mine. If we build up the sidelines of wild fruit wine brewing, it will become... Hehe, this wine industry is profitable. The brewing of fruit wine does not occupy farmland. If it is brewed, it will be wine at a high price; if it is brewed, it will be vinegar at a high price, which is very beautiful."

At this time, Zhao Wu felt that someone had slapped his right leg. He quickly shook his head severely, with a very dissatisfied expression on his face, and then continued to immerse himself in his thoughts: "There are already garden art these days. By the way, people now call it "Pu". I built a large yard and found a few "Pu Ren (Gardeners)" to plant chili for several years. I guess the spicy taste can be tasted.

But this sweetness has to be done. In this way, we must vigorously develop the "beehive" technology. This technology does not occupy the field and does not occupy much manpower. The honey produced is not enough, and it can be sold at a good price. Beeswax is also a luxury. Last night, the blacksmith complained to me. He said that if he wanted to cast such a large number of iron tools, he might have to buy all the waxes in the Xintian market. But the amount of wax is limited. Even if he orders from merchants now, he will have to wait for next year when he ships it over..."

Zhao Wu felt that someone had slapped his right leg again. He shook his head angrily and continued to think: "The variety of first-class vegetables this year is really disappointing. Unfortunately, it is early winter now. Otherwise, if you exchange it with the excuse of inspecting the territory, you might have found some vegetables that are very common in modern times - such as celery. I heard that in the Spring and Autumn Period, people thought celery was poisonous, so they didn't dare to eat it.

Well, in fact, the entertainment projects about food and beverages are not monotonous these days. For example, the wine pool and meat forest, which was highly respected by later generations, was born not long ago... The Romance of the Gods said that it was the invention of King Zhou of Shang. You said, if I closed the door, well, there were all my own family members in the door, and I would also have a wine pool and meat forest, would it be... Aristocrats, I should have a few female slaves to play... "

Zhao Wu's left leg was patted. He quickly smiled and nodded kindly, and then continued to think: "It's almost winter. The winter in the Spring and Autumn Period must be difficult. There is no cotton or bed, and heating equipment does not exist at all. I don't know how people keep heating these days? He actually set up a basin of charcoal fire under the cauldron, burning the cauldron red and letting it cool slowly. This heating method is so worrying. Who accidentally rolls on the red cauldron in the middle of the night, what should he do if he kicks the red cauldron? - a cold sweat.

Well, I need at least a charcoal stove and a pottery pipe - I can use it in a natural way and make rural local heating... In a warm house, I can't wear clothes, it's a real wine pool and meat forest, haha..."

The conversation between Qi Ce and Sun Lin's father was getting better. In the past half day, no one slapped Zhao Wu's legs and was very lonely. He was thinking about it indifferently, considering the problems he was facing one by one, and came up with many ideas to enjoy himself.

The conversation was not until noon. After Sun Lin's father had enjoyed Zhao Wu's entertainment, he said goodbye with satisfaction and sent him out of the gate of the manor. Zhao Wu turned around and asked Qi Ce: "What have you all talked about?"

ps: These chapters focus on farming, which seems a bit boring, but in fact there are many pitfalls here, and the plots in the future...Okay, I will reach a small climax immediately. Please be patient.
