Chapter 457: Sizhou

In the next few days, Mr. Fan, Bai Min, Su You, and Su Yuanzhen began intensive consultations. As the process of reforming the land and returning it to local people continued, many policies had to be adjusted accordingly.

As a large tribe focusing on commerce, Erlin has many special characteristics.

For example, its farming is mainly on both sides of the Anning River Valley, and it is impossible to realize the homesteader model like Kuizhou and Luzhou.

This is more similar to the farm contract system, where the output belongs to the tribal public.

Another example is animal husbandry, which is similar to later agricultural development companies and a kind of collective ownership.

Su You was not stupid enough to insist on household production contracts, so he discussed with Bai Min and Mr. Fan to deconstruct the shares of the three core surnames of the Erlin Department and make statistics on the farms, pastures, mining, and commercial assets jointly held.

, and then refine the shares to families.

At the same time, the Sitong business model was introduced, requiring the establishment of a board of directors accountability system, annual performance announcements, dividend distribution, and taxation determination.

Before the Atun Department was not accustomed to this refined management model, Sitong Company sent people to the site to help Erlin establish the system.

After Su You arrives, Bai Min will become the magistrate of Le County. He needs to be familiar with the laws and regulations of the Song Dynasty and make corresponding choices based on the Yi customs of Erlin.

Su You believes that the law is nothing more than human feelings, which is also in line with the views of Shu studies, which is to pay attention to the humanistic spirit.

For example, in Erlin customs, women have relatively high autonomy, can love freely, and have a strong ethos of equality between husband and wife. There is no need to copy the words of the matchmakers of the Song Dynasty and marry to their husbands.

Similarly, the problem of slaves also exists in Le County.

After ten years of hard work, Mr. Fan basically liberated the slaves in the industry and mines through the policy of using labor to redeem them and became hired workers in the mines. However, the problem of slaves in the homes of the high-ranking people has not yet been solved.

The skills of these people are mainly to serve their masters. It really liberates them completely at once, but it actually harms them.

What Suyou can do is to register and try to ensure its due rights.

In addition to administration, religion also needs adjustment.

Fortunately, there is Tibetan Buddhism for reference. As long as you don't act too hastily and take your time step by step, it's not too difficult.

The addition of compassion, kindness, honesty, trustworthiness, and neither greed nor arrogance, as well as the introduction of medical skills, are enough to make Erlin's original witchcraft a big step forward.

Bai Min was very worried before. Although his wife laughed at his unfounded worries, saying that Run would not do things like other faint officials, he was still worried that the court would change hastily and cause chaos after the reform.

After a few days, Bai Min felt completely relieved. This Han seemed to understand the Yi people better than the Yi people.

Chi Zun burst out laughing after hearing this. Mingrun was the one who at the age of nine was able to make the last great witch hand over his bone string staff to him. When he and Mr. Fan were in charge of the sacrificial temple code, you were still memorizing the Thousand-Character Essay!

After finishing their desk work for the day, several people walked out of the sacrificial hall and stretched their bodies.

Looking at the valley pasture from a height is a different sight.

The shepherds sang pastoral songs and drove the cattle and sheep back to the corral. The children, carrying their invitation bags, jumped down the mountain stream and went home.

The foreman in charge of the wind mill was busy rolling up the canvas on the wind blades, then patted the flour all over his body and took off his apron.

The old man chased the child with a boiled egg. The child shook his head violently and ran out as soon as he threw his schoolbag away. It seemed that he was going to a classmate's house to take advantage of the meal.

In the monastery opposite, the evening bell was accompanied by the bells and chimes of Buddhist chants, as the monks began their evening classes.

A big horse came to a stop in front of everyone. In front of Shi Wei's saddle sat a child, and in front of the child sat a white ape.

When the child saw Bai Min, he called daddy and then jumped down.

Bai Min quickly took the baby and asked, "Sien, is it fun to follow your aunt?"

Bai Sien, who was only seven or eight years old this year, nodded and said: "Aunt rides a horse very fast, much faster than dad. Today we also played with a small crossbow, a small crossbow that shoots iron coins, which was really fun."

Su You smiled and said, "Weier has had a lot of fun these past two days."

Shi Wei jumped off the horse and said: "The valley is too big. It's rare to have such a large circle of roads specially designed for horses. It takes a whole morning to complete one circle. It's so enjoyable."

Su You held her hand: "There are many good horses, and they can withstand your torture."

Shi Wei smiled and nodded: "Yes, I also help herd horses!"

Chi Zun came up on horseback: "Sien, you ran too fast, let grandpa chase you! Mingrun, the county magistrate is not just playing these days, he treats diseases in the village, his medical skills are really superb!"

Su You said: "That's pretty much it for now. We'll leave for Weizhou tomorrow. Teacher Tang is still waiting there."

After speaking, he turned to Mr. Fan and said, "I have almost figured out the meaning of Yuan Zhen's articles. It is quiet here, so I asked him to meditate here for a year. You can also give him advice. Yuan You's imperial examination in the fourth year,

You should join."

"Tang Yantong sent me Yuan Zhen's request for a surname and I read it. His literary talent and emotion far surpassed my own." Mr. Fan smiled slightly: "But I have already decided to live here forever. It used to be an obsession.

But now, I really can’t bear to leave this paradise."

Bai Sien is a ghost. He took Mr. Fan's hand and said, "Yeah, I won't leave. You still want to teach me how to read!"

Mr. Fan touched Bai Si'en's little head: "That's right! When Si'en grows up, he will surpass you, your Han uncle!"

The next day, Su You held a grand ceremony in the sacrificial hall, and under the watchful eyes of believers and wizards and Buddhists from all walks of life, he passed on the position of great wizard to Bai Min.

The only Han great shaman in the history of the Yi people finally ended his legend.

Su You reluctantly said goodbye to everyone, and finally embarked on the last journey to Xizhou, where he ruled.

The road from Erlin to Xizhou is now wide and smooth, and it is now the most important freight terminal on the Southwest Tea Horse Road.

Compared with the previous journey from Yazhou via packhorse over the mountains and ridges, the current road is much easier to walk.

Sometimes there is no berth at the Yizhou Wharf, so merchants would dock to Yibin County opposite, which even stimulated the service industry in Yibin County.

Nowadays, the Sichuan cuisine and fine wine Qiting there have become quite famous.

The horse team ran along the road all day, all downhill, and arrived at the city of Sizhou in the evening.

Tang Yan is now the general magistrate of Sizhou appointed by the imperial court. As a teacher, he has become a direct subordinate of his students.

Sizhou was the home base of the Crane Control Army, and all the Cao Cao soldiers in the state who joined the army were basically Su You's comrades-in-arms.

In addition to the ordinary state administrative staff, Xizhou is a new commercial city, and there are also tax collectors, treasury, miscellaneous operations, and trading supervision of the warehouses, courtyards, treasury, services, and docks in the state.

Those who greeted Su You at the gate of the city were Tang Yan, Chen Tian, ​​as well as various military officers and consuls.

Su You dismounted his horse from a distance, led the horse and walked to Tang Yan, and bowed deeply: "Disciple pays homage to his mentor."

Tang Yan has been proud of this disciple since he was a child. When old man Long wanted to use the ruler, he really stopped him.

Now that I see you again, of course I am overjoyed: "Mingrun! Hahaha, I have grown taller and more stable! I heard that you have greatly increased the national prestige in Weizhou, and I am overjoyed!"

Chen Tian came up and bowed: "I pay my respects to the young master."

Su You hurriedly supported him: "It can't be helped. Mr. Chen has trained his soldiers very well. Dun'an Village can be defended, and the Controlling Crane Army is the mainstay!"

After a round of etiquette, when I saw two scholars in the crowd, I couldn't help but be surprised and happy: "Brother Shi, Brother Yang, why are you two here?"

The two people were Shi Yuan and Yang Peng who worked with Su You to print the "Mei Du Guan Poetry Collection". Among the five people who participated in the printing, Zhao Meng and Ren Guan were in the same class as Su You, but they failed.

I didn't expect to see you here again.

Tang Yan introduced: "Sizhou was newly established, and the academy was short of teaching instructions. I was really too busy, so I recruited two senior brothers to serve as teachers."
