Chapter five hundred and seventy-six winter, all things
The small Yejiazhuang is actually a society. Although it is not as large as Tokyo City, the relationships between the characters are similar.
As the master of Zhuangzi, Ye An was respected by everyone. Sometimes his words were "will", and no one except Qin Mumu dared to disobey him. At this time, his rights and benefits were revealed.
After all, it is the farmers themselves who are rushing to allocate and rent land. In the end, it is their own choice to lose the benefits of the canteen. Ye An made a suggestion to the elderly among the farmers. The young and strong laborers can go to the factory during the slack time.
They do small jobs, but they get less money and have to put in more effort. Only in this way can it be considered fair. After all, in a sense, they are "stealing" the workers' jobs.
The elders of the farmers readily agreed to Ye An's proposal, and promised that even if the money they received was less, it would still be worth it. After all, the canteen could still provide a meal.
You must know that the strong labor force in the family is almost everything the farmer's family has, and can even be used as livestock. As long as the food can keep up, then the farmer's family will not worry about prosperity.
Ye An felt that these old people did not understand what he meant. He actually wanted to turn the young and middle-aged farmers into "temporary workers" who could be trained as laborers during the slack time.
But obviously the old people have their own plans, and do not want the young people at home to be tied up in the factory. Let them understand that at least they still have land to grow at home, and apart from the food paid to the Hou Mansion, the remaining food is not all theirs.
?
Of course they know the benefits of potatoes and sweet potatoes. Don’t forget that they were originally victims of the disaster in Henan Prefecture. They had tasted sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes during the drought, so they were the only people in the entire Song Dynasty who did not object to planting potatoes and sweet potatoes in the fields.
.
What is the most comfortable thing in late autumn? Of course, it is drinking tea, wrapping a blanket and looking at the fallen leaves in the mountains. When you have nothing to do, pretend to be a scholar and feel sad for the autumn.
But this kind of behavior seemed to Qin Mumu to be pretentious, and Ye An also decisively gave up the plan of drinking tea in the pavilion. There was no way, the tenth month of the lunar calendar was already the Mengdong season.
Winter means "the end, the place where all things are collected". After the beginning of winter, everything begins to hide. Mengdong is the first month of winter, which is also called Xiaoyangchun in later generations. Both the beginning of winter and the light snow fall in this month.
Beginning of Winter is a major festival. This day was very important to the ancients. Even Ye An and Qin Mumu, two "outsiders", had to follow the rules honestly.
The emperor will personally lead his ministers to welcome the winter weather, while the people have customs such as worshiping ancestors, drinking banquets, fortune-telling and other customs. They offer seasonal delicacies to their ancestors and pray to God for a good harvest in the coming year.
The farmers in Yejiazhuang have already started busy work. Thanks to Ye An, they have accumulated some wealth in just a few months and can live a decent and prosperous year.
People who usually don’t dare to show off have to show off. For villagers, no matter where they are from, they have to worship their ancestors again in the village.
The rules of the feudal era were also based on rank. A marquis like Ye An had to put on a show on the day of Beginning of Winter. Even if he and Qin Mumu were not willing, the Wang Gang and Tieniu had already started.
After being busy, even the soldiers did not dare to be lazy and actively prepared for fear of neglecting the ancestors of the Ye family and being criticized "underground" by the ancestors of the family.
The long altar table is the most magnificent, and it is filled with things needed for sacrifice, which are all tributes that can be found at this time of year. There are very few fruits and vegetables, but as long as there are green fruits and vegetables, it will immediately arouse the amazement of the villagers watching the excitement.
There are green vegetables in winter, which is something that even if you have money, you can't buy them, and these green vegetables are all thanks to the hot springs on Songshan Mountain. There is a spring in Laojun Temple right next to the vegetable garden. Senior Brother Jingde, who is fat, personally
It was delivered by car, and his behavior of stealing food from Ye An in the small kitchen established a very "strong" friendship between the two.
Since Ye An took root in Yangcheng County, Laojun Guan not only did not alienate the relationship due to the emergence of Xuanchengzi, but on the contrary became more pure. The senior brothers have always taken care of Ye An, plus Xuandaozi, Xuanyangzi and
Unlike Xuanchengzi who deliberately alienated his relationship with Ye An, the brothers were more willing to spend more time with Ye An when they went down the mountain.
This is human nature, Ye An was not unhappy at all, and even entertained his fellow apprentices warmly when they arrived.
Jingde stretched out her fat hand and patted Jingwu on the head: "It's a good thing that my uncle has become immortal and has attained enlightenment. It's been so long and I still can't let it go. Believe it or not, your master will scold you in a dream tonight?!"
Jingwu paused for a moment and muttered dissatisfiedly: "If the master asked me to scold me in a dream, it would be too late for me to rejoice! Senior brother, why do you think the master asked me in a dream and didn't come to my dream for a while!"
Jingde looked at Ye An helplessly and said with a wry smile: "How did I know! Ask your uncle when he entrusts you with the dream!" After saying that, he tapped Ye An with his finger.
Looking at the awe-inspiring villagers around him, he laughed quietly and said: "Sure enough, I returned to Yangcheng County and settled down! Good thing, good thing. It's not easy for me and other senior brothers to come to the village to disturb them often, but ordinary movements are...
Quite a few, if you have time, go and have a look at Laojun, your uncle has been having some troubles recently, and he wants to change the Zhongyue Temple to a new one, but no one can persuade him!"
Ye An turned around in surprise and suddenly smiled: "Senior brother came down the mountain not only to deliver vegetables to me, right? As for the uncle's matter, that was what my master told me before he left. It's a good thing that he cares about it.
It is to help our Shangqing sect earn some wealth. My master has accumulated a lot of fame all his life. Now that the reputation of the Shangqing sect is big enough, it will naturally expand its scale, right? Although Zhongyue Temple is the territory of Tianshi Dao, it is also the territory of Tianshi Tao after all.
In the Taoist family, Tianshi Dao is now in decline. The descendants of the Zhang family did not stand up when the country needed it. Naturally, they should be replaced. I, the Shangqing sect, will replace it. It will naturally happen naturally. Uncle Shi has done nothing wrong. We should fight for it.
It’s time to fight!”
"Well, since you said that, we have confidence in our hearts. Don't worry, I won't rely on your connections to know that you will be a lonely minister in the court!"
Jing De shook his head and then looked at the chief desk and said: "I wish I could pay homage to your ancestors. I have some green vegetables to send to the county magistrate. The magistrate Wang asked someone to bring this to you before."
Ye An quickly stood up and said: "Fu Sheng Boundless Heavenly Lord, senior brother is leaving now?"
"Nonsense, there are ancestors to worship, but I won't be able to wait anymore? Go and have a rest, go and have a rest!"
He was so quiet that he jumped onto the bullock cart, gently spanked the cow with a whip, and the old cow slowly walked away. The fat Taoist priest, the old bullock cart, this scene is extremely cool.
Ye An looked at the wide Yanjufu on his body and shook his head helplessly. Although he was too quiet and didn't say anything, he could still feel that the gap between himself and the cultivators was getting farther and farther.
