When Shao Zhang returned home, it was already dark.
Being the first son to get married also has its advantages, that is, he gets a very nice house.
This is the residence of King Wu of Jin Dynasty.
King Sima Yan of Wu died of illness, and his family went to Jiangnan, leaving this house empty.
When Shao Xun lived in Pingyang, he ordered to take over this house, renovate it from inside to outside, and then gave it to his eldest son Jin Dao as the "Qing Lu" where he got married.
Not far from this house across an imperial street, there is also Shi Chong's old house.
This house had been abandoned for a longer time, and no one had ever taken it over. During the war years, no one cared about it, so that was it.
This house is being renovated and is probably only a quarter of its original size, but I don’t know who gave it to it.
After Shao Zhang came back, the servants immediately got busy.
The bride, Liu, is only eighteen years old, but she directs everything in an orderly manner, busy and not chaotic.
Shao Zhang changed into casual clothes and sat behind the desk.
Mrs. Liu personally brought the meal and sat next to him. While pouring wine for him, she asked, "How about your husband spending the day with the king?"
"Father has great expectations. I will settle down in the next few days, and then I will go to Chenliu." Jin Dao took a sip of wine, sighed comfortably, and said, "I will take hundreds of people away, and you are ready to pay money and silk."
, dry food, carriages and horses."
"This is a big deal, I will take care of it tomorrow." Ms. Liu nodded, and then said suspiciously, "My husband, Shao Zhang, put down his wine bowl heavily, feeling a little unhappy.
This woman is good in other aspects, but her jealousy is a headache.
However, compared with the Han Dynasty, the number of jealous women has increased sharply since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and the customs of women have also changed. In this world, Liu's sexual jealousy is not the only one, there are many jealous women who come from rich families.
The reason is probably due to the prevalence of family-based marriages. Women have rival family backgrounds, have generous dowries, have received a comprehensive education since childhood, and have a higher status.
In this culture, once you have more knowledge, it will be less easy to suppress your temperament.
Especially since Henan has been in peace for many years, the original customs have gradually returned. In the previous war years, the status of women had obviously declined a lot.
Thinking of this, Shao Zhang was a little envious of his father.
If he had been born at this time, he probably wouldn't have been able to do anything about it - but it's hard to say that his father's methods were something he could match.
In addition, the time between scholars and common people is actually separated by heaven, which is also a reason.
Although the Shao family is about to become an imperial family, in the eyes of many people, does it meet the standards of a noble family? Obviously not.
When Shao Zhang and Liu were quarreling, they accidentally learned something.
After the marriage was confirmed, the Liu family in Pei and his in-laws were very surprised and asked Liu Dan face to face: "Are you crazy?
An Ke is afraid of Shao and uses his wives as soldiers?"
Look, the most powerful official in the world is discriminated against because he started his career through "soldiers".
Shao Zhang has never been in that circle. I don’t know what those people think. They kneel down to worship you and discriminate against you at the same time. How do they do it?
From this point of view, it is inevitable for my father to improve his status as a warrior, but he just needs to reverse this trend.
Here Shao Zhang was thinking, but over there Liu was a little unhappy and said: "Chen Liu's side -
—
"Shut up! I have to do business, and you still doubt this and that!" Shao Zhang picked up the wine bowl, drank it all in one gulp, and said angrily:
"What good will it do to you if you ruin my business? If I do it one by one"
Halfway through, he stopped talking.
When Mrs. Liu heard that it was related to her husband's future, she immediately didn't dare to make any more trouble. She stood up and poured half a bowl of wine for him, saying, "It was my fault just now. My husband is only busy with business, and he still has money and food. In May, there will be a meeting in Pengcheng."
A few ships will come and bring last year's grain and silk to the village."
When Shao Zhang heard this, his expression softened slightly.
There are also advantages to marrying a daughter from a well-established family, and one of them is to raise money.
Mr. Liu had a rich dowry, most of which was in Xuzhou. It would not cost much to transport it by ship, which would allow him to spend a lot more money.
With this benefit, he did not want to offend Mr. Liu too much.
A while ago, he heard a joke.
When Zu Yue was an official in Jianyou, he secretly kept a concubine out of fear of his wife.
Once when he spent the night at his concubine's house, he was injured by a thief. Both Zu Yue and his colleagues believed that it was his wife who did it. Even if there was no evidence, this consistent suspicion itself explained a lot of problems.
For the scholars of this era, some people had hundreds of concubines, while others did not dare to accept even a single concubine. It all depended on family background and the temperament of the wife.
Liu's appearance is not easy to get along with.
After dinner, Shao Zhang read for a while and finally slept in the study.

From Luoyang to Bianliang, the most convenient way is to take a boat. Going down the river is faster than riding a horse.
Shao Zhang arrived in Bianliang in early February, and his first stop was Chuitai Longfu, located in the southeast of Junyi County.
After exchanging pleasantries with the governor and other officials, he declined their company and took his own entourage to inspect various areas of defense and inventory the arsenal and fields.
Nanliufang is the southernmost military station of Chuitai Military Mansion. The south bank across the river is a large wasteland.
During this period, some cottages were dotted around, and farmers were plowing the fields for spring sowing.
Farther away, there is a half-shattered manor house that has obviously been uninhabited for a long time.
"Where is that?" Shao Zhang asked.
Sima Xiawu of the Nanliu Defense Department glanced at it and replied: "It was originally a dock wall. The owner of the dock led his villagers south to Lujiang many years ago, and the land was left there."
"I'm talking about the people who reclaim the wasteland." Shao Zhang said.
"They are all the children of the soldiers." Xia Wu said: "Many soldiers of the Zuojinwu Guards have been married for a long time. Some of them went to the other side of the river to cultivate wasteland when their children were sixteen or seventeen years old. The county also approved it. They are all civilians.
His nationality has nothing to do with the military government."
"Is there any government soldiers who divide the fields privately?" Shao Zhang asked.
"There is no such defense yet." Xia Wu replied, "I heard that there are some in other places, but very few. After being discovered, I used twenty sticks to gather the fields again."
To put it simply, some soldiers are old and do not want to hand over the entire 200 acres of land to their sons who will inherit their position as soldiers. Instead, they divide it equally so that everyone can own it.
After the military government found out, he beat him twenty times with a cane and redistributed the land, giving all 200 acres to his son who had taken his place as a soldier in the government.
In fact, even if the fields are divided and one person has dozens of acres, it is not impossible for the government soldiers to fight.
At least, my family still has thirty to fifty acres of farmland. I also practiced martial arts when I was young and have a certain degree of military experience.
Stronger than the Yellow Head Army.
But this kind of phenomenon cannot happen. If it is not properly restrained, the system may be working well one moment, but suddenly it will not work, because the people who grew up in the land-abundant era died in the war or grew old, and the remaining people cannot replace them.
, so a fault occurs.
In other words, when problems arise in the system, it may not respond in time and may lag behind a generation.
On the other hand, if we maintain it well now and correct problems if they are found, the soldiers will be able to maintain their combat effectiveness for at least two generations.
"After the founding of the People's Republic of China, not only the land of the scholars must be transferred, but also the land of each military government must be cleared." Shao Zhang said: "Don't do any more private land division. If there are really many children, it will be like this.
, just give them wasteland and turn it into households."
"Yes." When Xia Wu heard that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he wanted to clear out his father-in-law's military land, he was immediately shuddered and agreed immediately.
"Besides, are there any wealthy families occupying the fields?" Shao Zhang asked again.
"No." Xia Wu immediately replied: "After Chen Liudu's land, it was difficult for the wealthy families to maintain their forts, and most of them were scattered. Most of the remaining ones had official status and could occupy the land based on their official status. There is so much wasteland now, they don't need it.
Provoke the military government."
This is the truth.
Liang Guo's twenty counties were engaged in farmland, and the powerful and powerful people without official status were beaten to pieces.
The size of manors with official status has also been greatly reduced. Even if they want to invade the fields, it is not now, and there is no need to invade the military fields.
Isn't it okay to bully ordinary people who don't follow their footsteps? Why bother with the military?
The biggest threat to the disintegration of the Fubing system is the urge of the old Fubing to privately allocate land to his remaining heirs after he has more children. Unless the court is willing to grant land to his remaining heirs, it is best to stay nearby and see him often.
It can be distributed now, but it's hard to say in a few generations. At least there won't be any nearby. There may be some far away, but it's not certain whether people are willing to go there.
Shao Zhang secretly wrote these things down, planning to discuss them with his guests when he went back, and then look for an opportunity to report them to his father, who might win praise from him.

, the great treasure of Zen--——"
When we returned to Bianliang, news from Luoyang came one after another.
On the first day of the second lunar month, during the imperial meeting, Emperor Sima Duan issued an edict for the Zen throne. A few days later, it was copied and circulated everywhere, including here in Bianliang.
After Shao Zhang read it, he forgot about it.
This is the first time, and I won’t agree to it at all. It’s still too early for the country to truly establish its own system.
On the sixth day of February, he came to the Octagonal Dragon Mansion between Chenliu and Xingyang.
A few new songs have recently arrived in this house, filling up the original gaps.
Obviously, most of these songs are written by Hulu.
It was spring time, so Shao Zhang did not disturb them and watched silently. Occasionally, he would ask a follower named Le Xuan who was next to him. This man was born in the Nanyang Le family and was two or three years younger than Shao Zhang.
It was introduced by my uncle Lucai.
"Are these Qiang people? They are somewhat similar to the Qiang people in Shanglinyuan." Shao Zhang said after looking at them for a while.
"The Xiongnu has braided hair, the Xianbei hair, the Shiqiang people with loose hair, and the Hexi miscellaneous beards have their hair cut, that's right." Le Xuan said, "I just went to the village to take a look, and the families of these Qiang tribesmen have shori divisions.
Although there was not much wine and meat left,
It shows that he has passed the Spring Society Festival."
Shao Zhang nodded and said, "Write this down."
"Okay." Le Xuan agreed.
"There are also some Xianbei tribesmen in Chuitai Longxiang Mansion. Their appearance is no different from Jin people, with bun hair. How many years have these people been here?" Shao Zhang asked again.
"I'm afraid it's been a few years." Le Xuan replied: "Perhaps it was brought back from Pingcheng when the king first attacked Tuoba Xianbei. Some of the soldiers were more strictly controlled and could not understand the Xianbei tribe's uniforms, so they ordered
Changes. Some control it loosely and do not force them to change. But as time goes by, most of them will change."
Shao Zhang was silent for a moment and said: "These Mu Zi Mu Nu have followed the soldiers, which can be considered a blessing."
On the grasslands, they were probably slaves.
In the Central Plains, it was a part.
Bu Qu was free to marry, buy property, and be an official - if there was an imperial examination at this time, they could also take the exam.
Although bankers are often called "serfs", they are theoretically free. In fact, they are one level lower than Buqu, and they are not free to marry. If there is an imperial examination, serfs can also take the exam and become officials.
Child servants are considered the lowest level and are slaves in the legal sense, but their lives are not necessarily worse than those of the former two.
Some armies composed of child servants are still very powerful in combat - if there is an imperial examination, child servants cannot take the exam to become officials.
"More details on the one just now." Shao Zhang thought for a moment and felt that his father might be interested in the Hu people's changing customs, so he warned: "You should take the time to go back to Pingyang Shanglin Garden. In the past, I arranged a lot of people who crossed the river to the east.
The escaped Shi Qiang, go and see how they have changed their customs, and then compare it with the Fu Bing tribe. I will have something to say when I meet my father in the future."
Le Xuan's continuous sound should be.
The eldest son of the king often pondered the matters that concerned the king of Liang, and his character was admirable.
I just don’t know if his efforts will be seen by King Liang.
His biggest advantage is actually his age.
His biggest disadvantage is his age.
If the king of Liang lived past sixty, the eldest son Zhang would have completely lost his chance. It is unlikely that the position of Dabao would be passed on to a person over forty, because he would not have many years to live.
Perhaps, all current efforts are in vain, unless King Liang dies and passes away at fifty.
