Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 82

Seeing that Mrs. Su's expression was slightly resentful, Shen Zhezi knew that what he said would not have much effect.Today's cultural people are too hypocritical and put too much emphasis on self-subjective feelings.When Confucianism flourished, it became slightly inflated again. The so-called half of the Analects of Confucius ruled the world, and everything was omnipotent.

It seems that in order to develop a set of experimental science, we still need to build our own team.Shen Zhezi has asked someone to count the ten- to fifteen-year-old teenagers in the shade households of each manor. It is estimated that 15 people will be selected at the beginning, and then gradually eliminated.The reason for choosing this age group is that the plasticity is relatively high, and the acceptance is stronger than that of adults.As for the younger ones, I will not take them for the time being, what can an eight-year-old child do!
Sima Rui, the emperor of Jin and Yuan Dynasties, had a hundred and six clans, and set up this court team that was partial to Jiangdong.With the careful cultivation of this youth camp of my own, the achievements may not be worse than those of Bailiu.

He smiled and encouraged that lady Su, and Shen Zhezi turned to another place.He could see that the eldest lady Su was unwilling, but right now there was a shortage of manpower, so he could only make do with it first.

The other party was dissatisfied, but Shen Zhezi could understand it. It is a bluff to say that labor does not distinguish between high and low. After all, it is not a talent trained by a professional counterpart.The first level of happy life is that one’s way of life is very meaningful, and the material things in the later generations are so rich, there are still many people who don’t feel happy, probably because the way of making a living is not in line with their interests.

This difference in personal taste is not enough to be a reason to despise others.If the wish in life is to eat and wait to die, and to be dissatisfied if you fail to have a good pregnancy, then you can only say that being poor is because of laziness.

Inside the valley, bamboo and wood are still being felled. Shen Zhezi has no awareness of protecting the environment. He even fantasizes that he can create a smog that covers the sky in this time and space of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. .But at the moment, he can only think about it. Magang Xu Mei is currently a difficult place for him to get his hands on.

These bamboos and woods are also extremely important resources. In places where currency is extremely scarce, they can even be directly used to exchange materials in the market.Nowadays, when the mountains are closed and the marshes are closed, Xiaomin's family dare not cut down in private, and bulk timber is hard to find.

The vast majority of the entire Wukang Mountain range of hundreds of miles is classified as private manors, and the Shen family is the most notorious land enclosure among them, controlling almost half of Wukang Mountain.Although Shen Zhezi has no plans to distribute wealth, he is also thinking about giving back to the villagers. Part of the felled wood is used to make Quyuanli and distributed to the villagers for free.

On the temporarily repaired timber construction site, craftsmen are processing timber and making farm tools.There were already a lot of built plows piled up next to it, and a young man wearing a silk jacket was squatting there and fiddling with a pair of plow frames, with a look of curiosity and bewilderment on his face.This person was Shen Zhezi's third uncle, Shen Hong, who had just returned home.

Seeing Shen Zhezi approaching, Shen Hong stood up and patted the grass clippings on his robe, frowned and said in puzzlement, "Zhezi, the plow tool you made man-made seems to be too ingenious, is it really unusable?"

Shen Zhezi said with a smile: "Uncle, if you have any doubts, you might as well ask the craftsmen who made these plow tools. They are good at farming and naturally know much more than me."

When Shen Hong heard this, his expression was a little worried.In the previous generation, he was the youngest son of the family, and he came out late to take up duties, so he inevitably developed some arrogant and extravagant temperament, similar to Yu Tiao, the third eldest son of the Yu family. He asked those craftsmen who seemed a bit vulgar to him, and waited until Shen Zhezi came over before asking questions.

Shen Zhezi doesn't force everyone to be courteous and corporal, as long as they don't get in the way.Seeing Shen Hong's appearance, he rolled up his sleeves with a smile and said, "If uncle doesn't understand, let's have a try and see where the trick lies."

Shen Hong didn't even ask the craftsman, how could he go to work in the field himself? He raised his hand to stop Shen Zhezi, pointed to the two craftsmen next to him, and ordered: "You two come and try it once."

Taking advantage of the time when the craftsman was setting the plowshares, Shen Hong reprimanded Shen Zhezi with a serious face: "When I returned home, my elder brother told me to pay close attention to your schoolwork when I got home. Zhezi, although you are smart, you can't slack off your studies. Since you are a discipline Disciple of the old country, others have higher expectations of you, if you don't do your homework, it will inevitably disappoint people and cause controversy."

When Shen Zhezi heard this, he felt dizzy. He had already given Mr. Zuxue a lot of face, so he reluctantly went to school for two days.But the gentleman who is a professor of ethnology is actually his fan, so much attention that he can't sleep well, so he simply doesn't go.

"I heard Yun Lai say, you haven't gone to study the clan these days, how can it be? The lowly people in the family have their own people to do the work, and you forcefully intervene, but it makes it difficult for them to perform their duties..."

Shen Hong was still chattering, but he stopped his voice very quickly, because the two craftsmen had already started plowing the ground with the Quyuan plow.Many exquisite renovations, ingenuity can only be revealed in practice.

Compared with the cumbersome straight shaft plow, although the structure of the curved shaft plow is slightly complicated, it is generally light.One person controls the plow easily, and the other pulls it hard, and the plowshare will be inserted into the frozen soil and pushed forward.The plow placed on the lower side can not only crush the soil, but also turn it over and push it to the side, which reduces the resistance to advance.

Although Shen Hong disdained to do farm work, he had always seen it. From the looks of these two craftsmen, it could be seen that the new plow was easy to operate and did not require too much effort.Seeing that, he couldn't help but rolled up his sleeves and replaced the man in charge of the plow, feeling more and more clever about the structure of the plow.

Shen Zhezi smiled and watched Shen Hong's somewhat clumsy plow plowing back and forth. Only by experiencing it personally can he feel the beauty of the ingenious machinery of the ancients.

After plowing a few times, Shen Hong was a little out of breath. After all, he couldn't get used to these farm work, so he signaled the craftsman to give up.He wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, and looked at the finished plow frames, his expression changed, and then he frowned and said: "Such a sharp farming tool is the foundation of my family's prosperity, and it should be kept secret. I heard from the craftsman Zhezi, do you still want to create a batch of gifts for the villagers?"

Shen Zhezi has a deep understanding of the ancient people's awareness of property rights and technological secrecy, and it is not surprising that Shen Hong is dissatisfied with this.He explained with a smile: "In the past years, my family suffered a lot of ups and downs, and I was tired of the villagers. I donated some farm tools to express my apology and not to make my hometown look worse. My father also knew about this matter, and he has already agreed."

In front of his nephew, Shen Hong could show his elders' prestige, but he did not dare to disobey the wishes of his elder brother Shen Chong, and after hearing the words, he just remained silent, apparently a little incomprehensible.

Shen Zhezi didn't explain too much to Shen Mu. Apart from gaining some fame by donating farm tools to the villagers, he also had a deeper consideration, which was to warm up his own agricultural cooperative.

Although Shen Zhezi's agricultural cooperative is based on the economic transformation of his own manor, it is an open structure, which is different from the closed economic model of the manor.Any villager can join the cooperative as long as they are willing. The cost and resistance of grouping together for mutual benefits are much lower than the forceful occupation of land. It is another form of enclosure for self-strengthening.

If the Shen family's cooperative wants to grow, it does not rely on force, power, and financial resources, but to attract people voluntarily through the popularity of the township.

Therefore, while preparing to distribute Quyuanli, Shen Zhezi is also painstakingly compiling some folk songs and proverbs, using Quyuanli as a carrier, to spread to the four fields, and to enrich the spiritual life of the working people in a way that the people like to hear and see.

Although folk proverbs are vulgar and plain, they were a big killer for manipulating public opinion in ancient times.Nursery rhymes and folk proverbs contributed a lot to how many rebels stirred up the emotions of the people and mobilized the grassroots forces.The villagers are simple, and once these folk proverbs form a conceptual cognition in their minds, they will become more ingrained and difficult to change.

"Jiangdong plow, made by Shen Lang. Cultivating a hundred acres without wasting energy. Raise me to grow rice paste in fertile fields, while the elders lie idle and the lady laughs..."

It is much more difficult for Shen Zhezi to fabricate these folk songs than to fool scholars with literary copying.It is necessary to use a simple and simple tone to draw people closer to the longing for a better life in an instant, so that it can be sung quickly and last for a long time.

His greatest wish is to form a vibrant art form similar to the old tunes of Qin Opera and Xintianyou in Northern Shaanxi, develop a few classic forms, and add new words in the future, so that they can be sung more quickly.

These invisible soft powers may not bring immediate benefits to the Shen family in a short period of time.But once it works, the rewards will be beyond imagination!

Drastic system reforms may achieve remarkable results in a short period of time, but as long as they are man-made, the backlash is too strong, and once the ills breed, it is enough to kill people.At present, the Eastern Jin Dynasty court is hanging on its breath, and it really can't stand too much ordeal.Moreover, Shen Zhezi has no confidence in victory, thinking that with his own strength, he can reverse the appearance of the entire era.

So he never positioned himself as a prophet ahead of the times, against the whole world.For him, as long as there is no righteous conflict with each other, anyone is a potential ally and a worthy target.

He is so elegant that he can sit and discuss the Tao with famous scholars, he is so vulgar that he can flirt with common people, and he is so ruthless that he can eat the flesh and blood of barbarians.This is a fragmented era, and it needs to be repaired and bridged in a silent way.He is still young, even if this method is not satisfactory, there is still a chance to modify it and start over.
