Chapter 14 The Old Mansion

"In the Ming Dynasty, Liao Weng reported on his behalf, saying that the curfew in each neighborhood depends entirely on the servants. Marquis Wu announced it loudly, which was really a waste of his voice. Can you place a street drum near the gate of each neighborhood, and when the time comes, beat the drum to open the door and beat the drum to open the door?

Drum curfew.”

This is not a bad idea. The entire city of Chang'an, as a whole, is a super-large military town. The management of people as soldiers has always been popular in Guanzhong.

The walls of each square and the dotted pattern all show that Yu Wenkai designed Chang'an as a fortress group that could eliminate a large number of invaders.

It's a pity that reality is always as skinny as Zhao Feiyan. In front of Li Yuan's 200,000 troops, Chang'an City only lasted for thirteen days before changing hands.

No matter how well prepared the troops are, it will still be useless if morale is low and the situation is overwhelming.

Liao Teng's heart moved: "It's a good idea."

Not only is it a good idea, but Wannian County itself has no say in implementing this idea. Even if the governor of Yongzhou is the King of Wei, the Yongzhou Yamen cannot make a decision. It has to be discussed by the three provinces.

Qi Guanzhi put forward his request, which naturally left an impression on the minds of the officials in the court, which would be helpful for future promotions.

In the sixth year of Zhenguan, 13-year-old Li Tai married Yan Wan, the eldest daughter of the great craftsman Yan Lide, who was eleven years old.

("Preface to the Epitaph of Yan's Concubine, Princess Pugong of the Tang Dynasty": The concubine's taboo name is Wan, her courtesy name is Wan, and she is from Henan. Zeng Zuqing, General Longxiang of Wei, was the Duke of Da'an. Zubi was the eunuch of the Sui Dynasty, and Duke Shi Bao. His father was virtuous and a workman.

Minister of the Ministry, Da'an Gong. The concubine is the eldest daughter of the Duke. She is eleven years old and was elected to the king. The king is the third son of Taizong and was granted the title of Wei.)

In the seventh year of Zhenguan, Li Tai was transferred from the governorship of Yangzhou to the governorship of Yanzhou.

In the eighth year of Zhenguan, Li Tai was appointed as the general of Zuowei and the governor of Yongzhou (the tombstone indicates the tenth year).

In the tenth year of Zhenguan, Li Tai moved from the Yue Kingdom to the Wei Kingdom and became the governor of Xiangzhou from afar.

It has to be said that Li Shimin rarely abides by the standards he set for himself. The "Edict of Ling Yousi Encouraging Folks to Marry" states that the age for marriage is "Twenty years for men and over fifteen years for women." However, royal marriages leave people speechless.

.

Regardless of King Wei's reputation, Fan Zheng found that he could not escape his influence.

Both the governor of Yongzhou and the general Zuo Wei happened to include Dunhuafang. Even Furong Garden and Qujiang Pond were close to Dunhuafang.

The tooth fragrance in the workshop has made a lot of money, and the medicinal materials have been solved, so Fan Zheng naturally turned his attention to the workshop.

Twenty-six households of widowed and lonely elderly people in their 60s have had their houses repaired and some old grains provided to them on time.

It’s not that you are reluctant to spend money, but only Chen Liang will prevent outsiders from coveting you.

Don't have too high a view on human nature. There is no shortage of rubbish in every dynasty that enjoys bullying old people, knocking on widows' doors, and digging into other people's ancestral graves. However, in every dynasty, they are not directly executed if caught.

Good food, these dogs will definitely try their best to harm it.

The cross streets in the square need to be re-paved, as the previous stone slabs have long since collapsed into pieces.

As soon as the central one entered the house, it had been empty for more than ten years. Except for the overgrown weeds, neither the doors nor the walls had much impact, and not even a single black tile was broken.

When it comes to tiles, there are three types of tiles that are popular nowadays: gray tiles used by common people, black tiles used in palaces, temples, and mansions of dignitaries, and glazed tiles used in important buildings.

In addition to glazed tiles, black tiles can also be used by ordinary people. There is only one reason why they cannot afford them: they are expensive.

Of course, there is a reason why it is expensive.

Gray tiles are cheap enough, but they are not durable. When a hailstorm comes, a few more tiles have to be replaced.

"Sister, whose house is this?" Fang Zheng, a newbie, didn't know much about this kind of old house.

Aunt Fan glanced at Fan Zheng strangely: "This is a family from Tianzhu. They seem to have the surname Gu. They have disappeared without a trace since the Yining year of the previous dynasty."

This is a little strange. Nineteen years have passed since the change of dynasty. Why doesn’t Dunhuafang take back the house and redistribute it?

When dynasties change, it is common for land and houses to be redistributed.

"Nothing, let's find a craftsman to unlock the house, tidy up the house, clear away the weeds, and take the contents to the penthouse." Fan Zheng ordered the shopkeeper Lu Jiasheng.

Lu Jiasheng roared, and the idle laborers and half-laborers in the workshop immediately came out to work.

No one took action before, because no one wanted to make the decision.

Aunt Fan was stunned for a moment: "No, brother Fangzheng, why are you using up this old house? Do you want to change the house? Do you want to separate the family?"

Fan Zheng was stunned for a moment: "Hey, sister, please don't harm me. Article 155 of "Zhenguan Law": Grandparents and parents are here, but descendants who live in different places and have extra wealth will be detained for three years."

"Ordinarily, it is not appropriate to occupy a house, but as for the former house, there is room for change. Who wants to move in privately, of course it is not appropriate, but how about changing it to a square school?"

Aunt Fan was excited.

Reading, in this era, is a very sacred thing.

Even if he is just a poor person who can shake his head and say "The Master said poetry clouds", in the eyes of most people, he is still a great scribe.

In this era when the literacy rate is generally low, whoever can read the official documents on the yamen's cloth is a university student, and the whole family is willing to support him as cattle or horses.

"Well, can my sister's two children study? My sister can pay for it!"

Aunt Fan waved her hand, her pride soaring into the sky.

Fan Zheng grinned and said, "I asked everyone to make tooth incense just for this step. Once the village has money, all children, whether young or old, can go to the village school."

"After my carpentry workshop rushes to make a batch of small tables and chairs, paint a blackboard, use some lime to make chalk, and then ask a patient gentleman to enlighten us, let's get started!"

"If my sister wants to do her best, she will reward the children who have done well in school every now and then with a chicken or something."

Aunt Fan clapped her hands: "This is good! It's just chicken."

You know, even in Dunhuafang, not everyone can eat meat every day. Chicken is the favorite of children.

In Fan's woodwork workshop, Fan Laoshi's muscles bulged as he pushed the plane hard, and the bulging flesh on his arms looked as hard as stone.

"If you are a little adventurous, you have to make sure how many families in the community are willing to send their children to study. Food, rice, oil and salt are not as simple as you think. In many families, the eight-year-old baby has to work hard to earn a living.

"

While Fan Laoshi was talking, the plane did not stop at all.

"My young master, Fangzheng, studying is a good thing, but what can my son, my sister, do after studying? It is said that you can become an official in the imperial examination, but can everyone really become an official? Go to Kaimeng, or go to Xuanyangfang County Yamen

Setting up a stall and writing letters?" Wu Menshan, the workshop clerk, stuck out his hips and installed the carriage, and kept talking.

It is true that it is not possible for everyone to succeed in studying. You have to think about the corresponding way out for others. You cannot just kick people out and say with a shy face, "Send talents to the Tang Dynasty".

Fan Zheng chuckled: "If so, what if I can teach Mr. Accountant?"

Wu Menshan's eyes shone brightly: "My son, my sister, my two sons, are under strict supervision by my young master. If they don't obey me, the wicker will be cut off!"
