"Only women and villains are difficult to raise, those who are close are not grandchildren, and those who are far away are resentful."
Ren Hong now understands Confucius's anger when he said this, Confucius probably suffered a lot of losses when he was defending the country, and suffered a lot from Nanzi and Mizi around Wei Linggong.The ministers and concubines around the big man are indeed the most difficult to get along with, they don't know how to be humble and polite to others, if you are estranged from her, you will be resentful.Therefore, there is also a saying in later generations called "Hades is easy to see, but the little ghost is difficult".No, it has been more than half a year since Ren Hong's refusal to marry, and King Huo Yan's methods of handling it are almost perfect, which is sincerely admirable, but the little ghosts around him still do not forgive, although they no longer dare to mess around openly because of Huo Guang's statement, but they have written down this hatred.For example, Mrs.
Naho threw all the cumin spices that the family loved to eat into the ditch, claiming that the spices were not clean and made the family eat bad stomachs.It's a pity that it's still late, the kitchen of the Hou family in Xi'an has long been famous in Chang'an, the seasoning of roasted meat is indeed a bit monotonous this year, cumin has been popular in Shangguan, the Huo family does not eat, and some rich people are willing to ask for gold.On a dark and windy night, Lao Xia squirmed and confessed to Ren Hong that he had added horse manure to the cumin of the Huo family.Ren Hong is angry and funny, angry that Xia Weng has actually suffered this kind of grievance, and he has hidden himself for so long, the funny thing is that he is really a little smart, and he will use these small means to complain for himself.In the end, Ren Hong only comforted Xia Weng: "It's okay, you can't eat the dead anyway." ”However, he soon discovered that the lady of the Huo family was really in the same position as Xia Dingmao, and her methods were not painful or itchy, but they were disgusting.She instructed her subordinates to spread rumors that the exotic vegetables and fruits planted by Ren Hong in Bailuyuan Manor had sucked up the fertility of the field and damaged the feng shui aura of Bailuyuan.Jing Zhao Yin Jun, who was known for his drama management back then, had no doubt that he could handle big cases, but after rejecting the Huo family's marriage, he was forced to resign from the government by these small means.There are really villagers who believe it and are stupid, and they are arrested tonight, and their subordinates propose to send them to the county to face Bo Gongtang to find out who is behind the scenes, but Ren Hong knows that it is useless to do so.No matter how stupid Mrs.
Huo is, she will not be stupid enough to send her own family to burn Ren Hong Manor, she only needs to frown, there are naturally domestic slaves like Feng Zidu around her to give advice, and it is enough to randomly instruct a few Baling locals to spread rumors, and she can't touch the melon at all along the vine.The Han Dynasty was not the Qin Dynasty either, and the time of putting everything in court has passed."
It's not the government that can really manage this matter."
Ren Hong made up his mind: "Detain these people first, and the day after tomorrow, the Baling County Order, as well as the fathers, pavilion chiefs, Lizheng, and Litian of several townships in Bailuyuan, will all be invited to the family for a banquet." ”After receiving the Xi'an Hou Bai Ti, the Baling County Order immediately abandoned the case and rode to Bailuyuan in a hurry.The owner of the manor in the past was Fengguang, the Marquis of Guannei, and he also invited Baling Ling to be a guest, but Baling Ling ignored it, and now he is flocking to it, and his attitude towards the two is like a world."
How can Hou and Hou be the same?"
Baling Ling has his own calculations in his heart: "The Marquis of Xi'an is a military meritor, he is younger than 2,000 stones, although he is doing idle now, but he will be able to grasp the real power in the future, but he can not be offended, he came to Baling to buy land and settle down, it is a rare opportunity for me to meet." ”After arriving at the Xi'an Hou Manor, Ren Hong personally came to greet him, making Baling Ling more face-saving, and at the same time found that the outside of the manor was full of carriages and horses.The fathers, lizheng, pavilion chiefs and agricultural officials in the township have basically arrived.This is the grassroots organization of the Han Dynasty, in Tian Yulu, in Yi Yuli.There are 80 households in one mile, eight families in one lane, and the middle lane is the school room.Those who choose their yarrow and have high virtue are called fathers; Among them, the defender of hyperactivity is Li Zheng."
Father" and "Lizheng", as the managers of the township, are elected by the government, but the conditions are different, and the father must have high morality and high years, so he is often the patriarch of the local big family.Li Zhengze is a person who "defends hyperhealth", and he has to be a strong man in Luli and a heroic man in the countryside to suppress those light heroes who have escaped.Their status is half-official and half-private, half-official and half-civilian, and they are the de facto masters of the secular society in Luli, enjoying double land grants and riding horses.The people in the township may not know who the county order is, but they must know the names of the elders and the lizheng, and ordinary disputes are also resolved under the rules of the township covenant or even the patriarchal law, and very few will be sued to the county government.Although this kind of township autonomy in essence has the hidden danger of "the imperial power does not go to the countryside" in the eyes of later generations, it also saves a lot of administrative costs.Ren Hong wants to solve the rumors circulating in Bailuyuan, and by the way, he has to start with some crops.So before the banquet, the first thing Xi'an Hou did was to take everyone to visit the fields."
I also blame my servants for being ignorant, and erecting a fence on the manor, so that the neighbors in the village could not see the situation inside, and speculated and gave birth to some misunderstandings.Some people say that the exotic vegetables and fruits grown in my manor have sucked up the entire land power of Bailuyuan, which is really ridiculous. ”Ren Hong talked lightly about the misunderstanding caused by the rumors, and did not catch a few thieves in advance, and only led everyone through the neatly planned countryside one acre of another.The green vines have climbed the wooden frame, because it is planted in the first year, and there is no fruit, the garlic in the vegetable garden grows vigorously, and there are large alfalfa plants planted at will by the ditch, which are the three plants that are no stranger to the people of Guanzhong, the Xiaowu Emperor who is so happy to make great achievements in the palace gardens planted grapes, alfalfa is popularized, as a feed for horses, and garlic is still used as a medicinal herb in Guanzhong.But the next plants have never been seen from the prefectural order to Litian.Red carrots, small lilac onions, and sesame trees less than half a person tall, Ren Hong asked people to show the harvested crops one by one.And the key thing to recommend to everyone is two kinds of beans.The dark green plant is overgrown with beard, and the leaves are like thistles, facing each other in pairs.If they had come a few months earlier, they would have seen purple and white butterflies blooming.Now all the pods have grown, and the pods are inch-long.Ren Hong took a pod that began to turn yellow and broke it open, but he saw that it was like a pill, and there were six, seven, and eight pills."
This is a pea, also known as a bean, which can be harvested several times a year, can you taste it?"
No one dares to accept it for the time being, and there are many rumors about the new crops, in addition to thinking that they have damaged the local soil and angered the mountain gods, but also that these foreign crops are poisonous.After all, potatoes and tomatoes have been demonized in later generations, but unfortunately they can't escape the three essences of human beings in the end.Until Ren Hong threw those peas into his mouth and chewed them, and saw that the dignified princes and daughters were all eating, they had nothing to be afraid of, and the Baling County Commander first took a handful and put it in his mouth, and found that the taste was similar to that of millet, but with a faint fragrance and slight sweetness.Although it is not very delicious, this is grown by the Hou family in Xi'an, and the crops that come out of the political people often have a big advantage in publicity, just like Chu orange is not necessarily delicious.The other bean plant is thicker, the pods are bulging, and when peeled off, the beans inside are flat and plump, glowing green, and there is a small hat at the top that looks like a curved black eyebrow."
This thing is a broad bean, the same as a pea, from the Great Moon Clan and the body poison."
This is half a year ago, Princess Xie Wei traveled thousands of miles to let Yaoguang send a gift to Ren Hong, because it was the first time to introduce the Central Plains, the habits are very different from later generations, and Ren Hong is not sure, so he planted a batch every month for comparison.Compared with the previous types of vegetables, everyone is really interested in these two kinds of beans, because this year, soya beans are also considered "five grains", and in disaster years, they have to rely on it to save their lives.Ren Hong said to everyone: "Broad beans and peas are more cold-resistant than the beans of the Central Plains, the yield per mu is more, the harvest is more ripe early, both humans and animals can eat, and they can be dried for a year or two without being bad."
I had discussed with Daisinong about promoting these two crops, and Daisinong asked me to try to grow them at home first. ”Baling County Commander probably guessed what the Hou of Xi'an had recently invited the fathers and elders of the eight townships to come here, and immediately praised Ren Hong's stinky feet and said: "The Hou of Xi'an is proficient in agricultural affairs, and recently the Great Si Nong asked the agricultural officials to promote the Quyuan plough in Jingzhao, I heard that the Quyuan plough was made by the Marquis of Xi'an, so it is also called the Renhou plow, compared with the ordinary plow, it is indeed more flexible, suitable for small families and small households. ”The promotion of the Quyuan plough is being done by Dasi Nong, but the effect is not significant, after all, for the large areas of tuntian under the control of the government, it is not much worse to use a straight yuan tool."
I see!"
I heard that Xi'an Hou and Dasi Nong can talk and laugh, how dare Father and Litian question his authority in agricultural affairs.The most extensive area in the manor is naturally cumin, and cumin spice is the main product that Ren Hong used to kill pigs.The banquet that night was also ingenious, all the dishes were fired with exotic plants in the manor, not to mention the pilaf full of Western characteristics, cumin roasted meat, pea tips can be made into soup, much better than the Central Plains weed bean soup, even the fried peas and broad bean rice, have a unique flavor.After this meal, the fathers and elders stared at each other for a while, and no one felt uncomfortable, and the claim that these exotic crops were poisonous was basically self-defeating.After the wine and food were full, Ren Hongcai knocked the bowl with chopsticks to quiet everyone down, and You Panda also brought up the few young people who dared to come and burn down the manor, and knelt in the courtyard with their hands tied.Only then did the county magistrate and the elders know about this, and they couldn't help but be shocked, the fathers and elders where these young people are from are even more trembling and afraid.If they really succeed, the court will investigate it, and what everyone is eating now is probably prison food, and the hearts of several people will be chopped off at once.Ren Hong pretended to be generous: "Recently, there have been a lot of rumors in Bailu, which has caused the villagers to misunderstand me deeply.These people have also been instigated by rumors, I don't want to investigate deeply, all the fathers and elders and Li Zheng will take them back and teach them a lesson. ”"Xi'an Hou is tolerant!"
The fathers and elders bowed down and said yes, but their eyes were fiercely fixed on the reckless young farmers.In Sanfu, it is nothing to be locked up by the government because of a crime, and even get the admiration of the light man because of this.But if you offend your father and Lizheng, it will be difficult to move an inch in your hometown, and there are ways to make your family ruined.And the village rules are sometimes stricter than the laws, and for the farmers in the township, not being able to enter the ancestral grave is more uncomfortable than killing them.After handing over this matter to the elders and Li Zheng, Ren Hong said: "Today, Hong will talk to you about my heart, hundreds of years ago, Qi Huan Gong and Guan Zhong went north to attack the mountains, and the winter onions and Rong Shu were all over the world.Nowadays, the onions and mushrooms eaten in the world are mostly the products of the land of Rongdi in the past, so it is known that the stones of its mountains can attack jade. ”"The Western Regions are vast, there are many exotic vegetables and fruits that have never existed in the Central Plains, and Bowanghou has introduced grapes and other things, but unfortunately, except for alfalfa, which is widely planted in Guanzhong, the rest are only used as decorations and extravagant foreign objects for the families of dignitaries.Hong Bucai, I am willing to learn to manage Yiwu and make it spread all over the world!
”Ren Hong said: "Since Honglai came to Bailuyuan to buy land and farm, he and you are neighbors.Zi said, those who are near are happy, and those who are far are coming.After today's feast, I would like to give broad beans, peas, sesame seeds to your fathers and elders, Lizheng, and then promote it to all households from Litian."
Let the people have more kinds of dishes to accompany their meals at home, peas and broad beans can also be used for emergency relief in disaster years, sesame seeds and other things can even be sold at a high price in Chang'an City.""
Hong hopes that he can take the neighbors of Bailuyuan to get rid of poverty and become rich together!"
