Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 776

It is impossible to recruit workers with no restrictions on men and women and no restrictions on the number of workers across the country.Its actual scope is also in Yidu and Jeju.

There are good things, and the old base of Jeju must never be forgotten.

This incident added another fire to the lively atmosphere on the eve of the folk New Year's Eve. In a short period of time, the work for the royal family and cashmere became the hottest topics in Qilu.

Naturally, there are many people who are living a good life and look down on the two silver dollars, such as Li Qiong, the head of the Lijiayuan.Compared with letting his sons and daughters work for the emperor's family, he is more willing to let his son join the army.

Anyway, now he has nothing to eat, nothing to wear, and no warmth. Li Qiong has passed the stage of basic needs for food and clothing, and has turned to seeking social status.

It's the end of his life as a security guard, and if he climbs up again, he won't be able to climb.And his two sons have no talent for reading, not to mention that they were delayed for many years earlier, and now even if the family has spare money, they can't buy time back.Therefore, one should stay at home and inherit the family business, while the other should join the army.

Joining the army is dangerous, and you need to be cautious when enlisting.In the Lu Qi Dynasty, the status of soldiers was very high. Why did Li Qiong ask his son to serve as a soldier?The reason is not for military expenses, but for the status of military family members and the treatment of soldiers after they leave the army.

There are dozens of Baochang Baozheng in Jiushan Township, and more than half of them are military members.At the same time, the magistrates in this township, and even many officials in Linqu, not only refer to the judicial police system, but generally refer to the entire government. Many of them are veterans.

In the army, in addition to practicing swords and guns, there is still a lot of free time, and that is the field that the instructors in the army are responsible for.

From the interpretation and preaching of laws and policies, to reading and literacy, anyway, after three years of military service, those soldiers can write and count, but they are almost the same.He also has a certain understanding of the laws and policies of the Lu Qi Dynasty. This kind of person is just a small soldier in the army, but he is an excellent grassroots talent in the local area. It is not difficult to enter the government to do business.

This situation will not change at least in the early days of Lu Qi's establishment of the world, that is, within ten years.Because veterans are the foundation of the new dynasty.This is just like Lu Qian's previous life. Are the job placements of veterans when the People's Republic of China was first founded and those after the reform were comparable?

Li Qiong, who has no shortage of food and drink, now longs for "getting ahead". Not to mention being an official, at least his children and grandchildren can eat a bite of public food.As far as his two sons are capable, joining the army is the only way out.

He wouldn't ask his son, daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law to sign up.

The reason why I mention this person is just to give an example.His honey is my arsenic.The same thing has different views in the eyes of different people, and people have different interests.

Even though there are people like Li Qiong, it still won't affect the number of applicants among the common people like crucian carp crossing the river.

But Qi Lu's scene didn't affect Yanjing at all.The latter has completed household registration and land leasing, and as a large number of Khitan herdsmen have been moved to the Hetao area, the entire Yanjing is already under Lu Qi's control.

Wanyan Pu's servant poked his head out from the carriage and looked ahead. After many days, he saw the city wall of Xijin Mansion again.It's just that things are people and things don't matter. In less than two years, Khitan and Dajin have already changed their appearances.

The Xijin Mansion is no longer the Xijin Mansion of the Khitan, but has become the Yanjing of the Han people.The masters of the Northland outside the Great Wall are no longer the tyrannical and tyrannical Jurchen in the past, but have become Han Chinese.

In his old memory, the Han people, who were just a group of weak lambs, suddenly transformed into hungry wolves and tigers, dominating the entire 'world'.

This time, when he came to the city of Xijin Prefecture, which had been renamed, his face did not show a trace of the arrogance he had when he faced Khitan in the past, he was neither humble nor overbearing, and he was polite and polite. Some attitude.

It's just that when a person faces another 'person' with such thoughts, he has unconsciously put himself in the position of a weak person.

Because only the weak will take these things into consideration, and will try their best to maintain their face and dignity, and the strong will never consider these things.

This is more like the previous envoys from Zhao and Song Dynasties who entered Liao Dynasty, not only making me nervous, but also the whole mission.

The same is true for Wanyan Pu's slave. He had been detained in Jinzhou City for many days before heading south to enter the customs. Apparently Jinzhou's big eyes and Yelu Mawu had received instructions from Yidu.

Follow the Jinxi Corridor all the way into Yuguan, then rush to Yanjing City non-stop, and then follow the avenue all the way south...

The cold wind was blowing outside, Wanyan Pu's slave shrank his neck and put his head back, he was worried that he would not be able to reach Yidu before the New Year's Eve.

As the team got closer to Yanjing City, there were more and more pedestrians and horses on the road.All kinds of noises spread into the ears of Wanyan Pu's servants.

The latter, as a person who has seen the world, does not take it seriously.

When Xijin Mansion was still in the hands of the Khitan people, it was a big city that was much more prosperous than Liaoyang Mansion, so the noise and traffic of passers-by is not what it should be.

It's just that as time passed, they got closer and closer to the east gate of Yanjing City.There were more and more people and vehicles on the road. I hadn't visited Yanjing City yet, but the scene in front of me stunned the entire Jurchen mission.

Rolling crowds, countless horses and carriages, almost blocked the road!
"This, this Lu Qi... is really..." Wanyan Pu's slave no longer knew how to describe his mood at this moment.This Yanjing City is much more lively than the Xijin Mansion in his memory.

At that time, the Xijin Mansion in Nanjing of the Liao Dynasty was also bustling and lively, but the scene outside the Xijin Mansion at that time was definitely not what it is now.Just looking at the crowds of pedestrians and the long queues of carriages and horses in front of you, you can imagine the prosperity of the streets in the city.

In fact there is a reason for this.

Naturally, the recruitment of the Internal Affairs Office would not affect Yanjing Mansion thousands of miles away, but the impact of cashmere and wool on the entire Yanjing Mansion was huge.When the Khitan people heard the concept of cashmere, they were totally dumbfounded.Of course they knew that the goats would shed in February and March.But in the past countless years, no Khitan people went back to pay attention to this.The number of cashmere units is small, and it falls off immediately, which also makes it impossible for herdsmen to collect it.They don't even know that things are very valuable!

Now the Han court has offered high prices to buy cashmere, and the price of wool is not bad, which is an unexpected surprise.After all, the Khitan people raise sheep as a mixture of goats and sheep.

The five animals on the grassland are cattle, horses, camels and sheep.The reason why it is counted as five animals is because it includes two kinds of sheep-goats and sheep each occupy one seat.Compared with cattle, horses, camels, sheep are the most numerous domestic animals on the grassland. They are as inseparable from the grassland as fish and water.

When herdsmen raise sheep, no one raises only one of them, but almost all of them are mixed.And this ratio is 2:1 to 3:1, there are more sheep than goats.The reason is not only that sheep produce more meat, or can be shaved and skinned, but also because sheep are easy to manage.

Anyone who has herded sheep knows that goats are difficult to restrain.Its character seems to have inherited too many argali genes and is too active.In summer, there are many small insects on the grassland that are annoying to the sheep, such as flies, mosquitoes and horseflies.If the goat walks against the wind, it will be less likely for small insects to fly in and bite.So the troubled goats and sheep didn't care where their home was, they just kept walking against the wind and went their separate ways.The flock soon dispersed.In addition, the memory of goats is also very limited. Even if they go far away, they will not be able to find a home.Didn’t you see the story of the little sisters on the prairie? The herdsmen are really worried about finding sheep on the prairie.

But raising only sheep is not good either.This kind of sheep is a very stupid animal. They always seem to forget to take their brains to go out in a daze, and they have long lost the vigor and vigilance of argali.

In winter, the grasslands are covered with snow, and the rivers are frozen. Most of the sheep can only quench their thirst with snow, and it is simple.But in spring, when the river thawed and the sheep finally had a chance to drink the flowing water, they flocked to the river.It’s just that the sheep were so focused on moving forward that they didn’t seem to know that they were scattered on the river bank, so the sheep in front just lowered their heads to drink water after reaching the river, while the sheep walking behind were eager to quench their thirst and still squeezed forward in a daze.Every spring, sheep are squeezed into the river and even drowned.Based on such helplessness, experienced herdsmen had to try their best to find gentle river banks for their flocks to drink.

Moreover, sheep are lazy and weak by nature. If they encounter hungry wolves, the sheep will only know to gather together. Even if the wolf bites their throats, they rarely make a sound.At this time, goats with active personalities are needed. They know how to avoid danger and at least know how to bark when they encounter a wolf.

So, cashmere and wool are really closely related to the life of every herdsman.

After the news reached Yanjing Mansion, it immediately detonated many local rich families.They have just gone through the upheaval of dynastic change, and it can be said that they are lucky to survive from Emperor Lu's knife, and the property forces don't know how much they have lost.So much so that in the past year, capital from the south has entered Yanjing wantonly, and they can only flatter them with a smile.

It's just that there are broken boats and three-pound nails, and these families are not easy people.Even if they have no money in their own pockets, they still have the capital to partner with local merchants and foreign capital.Many workshops in Yanjing Mansion are now built in this way.

These aristocratic families in Yanjing Mansion don't think it is shameful to make money, they are chasing money.

Now, although Lu Qi is at war with Khitan, the trade between the two sides has not been cut off.The herds of cattle, horses and sheep on the grasslands are still flowing into the Central Plains in an endless stream.It's not that Emperor Tianzuo never issued a ban, but there is a bird for it?The entire grassland needs silk, porcelain, cloth, tea, rhubarb, etc. from the Central Plains.

The latter is the magic medicine on the grassland.During the Han Dynasty, the Romans obtained rhubarb, but it could only be spread through the Silk Road. Even if the Silk Road gradually moved from land to sea in the future, the rhubarb trade on the land would never be cut off.The latter benefited not only the nomadic nobles on the northern steppes, but also Central Asians and even Europeans in the far west.

The ones in the front are the necessities of life for the Khitan nobles.

It is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.The ancestors of the Khitan people used to be extremely wealthy, and they ate and used what they had, but now they have fallen into poverty, and their living conditions have dropped significantly. Not to mention, without rhubarb and tea cakes, constipation due to excessive heat, and stagnant abdominal pain have become fatal afflictions .

For many years, rhubarb and tea cake have always been their main tonics and magic medicine for clearing the intestines, removing fire, treating toothache, laxative and detoxification.

And without silk and porcelain, how do they dress and live?Shall we use rough felt cloth, or heavy pottery?
The Central Plains also needs cattle and horses on the grassland, as well as cheese, milk powder, leather, horn tendon, etc. on the grassland.

The two sides need each other, and the trade is not going well.Neizhong also needs local aristocratic families to go to the grassland to take the lead, so this matter has quickly spread from Yanjing Mansion to the prairie in the north.

How can the Khitan dignitaries and businessmen on the grassland sit still when they hear that the new economic hotspot is waste in their own hands?There are sheep everywhere on the prairie. This is free money. How can they not be tempted?
Right now, there are so many carriages and horses outside Yanjing City, but many of them belong to them.

Also, during this year's festival, as the political, military and economic center of the Yanjing Mansion, Yanjing City is already extremely lively.Now that we're together, it's not like a sea of ​​people, gathered from all directions.

Wanyan Pu's slave didn't know that he happened to have such an opportunity, and thought that the scene in front of him was the normal situation in Yanjing City.He felt that Yanjing City, which had just fallen into the hands of the Han people a year ago, was more prosperous than the Xijin Mansion in its heyday that he had seen in the past. This was simply unbelievable, and he immediately felt dizzy in his heart.

Are all Han people able to 'turn stone into gold'?
