Chapter 191 The Sun of Mount Tai (9)
A few days later.
There were so many people coming to the village community at once, which made everyone in the village community feel quite uneasy at the beginning.
The village community that is exactly the same for hundreds of years has never been so lively, and the people in the village community have no idea what these people are going to do.
They are different from those in the city. People in the city can hear at least some news, and the news that the villages here can hear comes from Tian Zheng and the tax scholar sent by the chief.
Planting in spring and harvesting in autumn, and first treating public affairs before daring to treat private affairs during busy farming. This is a tradition of hundreds of years. When you never know that there is another way of life, this tradition becomes a matter of course.
It's like the sun rising from the east and setting, I never thought about what it would be like if the sun rose from the west and set in the east.
Liang's father has experienced many wars, the Qilu War, and the Xiang Ziniu Rebellion. The people have seen a large army, but every time they are just reincarnation.
The only thing that changes may be the son of the descendant of the fiefdom is, and the unchanging life is still the unchanging life.
But this time, the arrival of the Mo family made the public feel a little different in just three days.
In three days, I can't do much, but some insignificant things can still be done. The most important thing is that these insignificant things are already inverted in the eyes of the people, and no army has ever done this.
It was summer and it was inevitable that it would rain a lot. After the company of the Volunteer Division arrived, they took advantage of the sunshine to repair the houses for several families in the village.
The houses in the village are made of thatched and plated, which are very simple, but if the thatch is not smooth, once it rains, the water soaked in the yellow-brown juice of thatched will fall into the house.
To repair a house, you need to mow the grass and dry it first, and then lay it on the roof after it is dry, forming smooth stubble so that the rainwater can flow down.
The grass is not easy to dry, but it is still done by mixing mud.
The soldiers of the Yishishi were also from the founding of the gangsters. The Yishishi military camp was not just a military camp but a school with the entire Si Shang style. The soldiers learned a lot of messy skills in the military camp, and it was simple to mix mud.
It is such a trivial matter that makes the work of the Mohist people who have arrived here for less than a few days easier to carry out.
At least, the public thinks that this is a group of good people, and these good people will never harm themselves.
On that day and night, just as the sun set, a bonfire was lit in the village and a group of people sat around.
Shu Guitian and a few classmates found a clay pot, filled with water, and cooked it by the bonfire.
After taking off his top, several young men took advantage of the boiling water to put the tops on. Under the heat, the lice hidden in their clothes crawled densely to the collar.
The fingers that were not very skilled were squeezed up, making a giggle, and some particularly loud sounds were particularly loud.
If I were at home, there would definitely not be so many lice. Even if there were, my mother would burn it to death with hot water while washing clothes, and it would not be the turn of these young people to do it themselves.
In recent years, there have been more and more habits that have been spread to Si Shang from the Mohist school and the righteous masters. Washing laundry and bathing with soap are one of them. The very cheap toothbrushes made of lime powder and soap powder and pig bristle are gradually becoming popular in Si Shang Shang.
When they arrived here, these young people couldn't stand it. Fortunately, the older men knew how to deal with these annoying parasites, so they squeezed these annoying lice with some unskilled hands.
After muttering a few times, a child in a simple dress dressed in a clearly old military uniform, who had been modified from the old Yishi military uniform, ran to Shu Guitian and others with a snake in his hand, and said, "The roast is delicious."
Liang's dialect is somewhat similar to that of Si Shang. Although it is different, it is not impossible to understand. The child looked at the snake greedily, but did not forget to give it to the people living in their homes. This is also the best reward that a child can think of.
When Shu Guitian first came to this house to eat and live, the three children had no clothes. They were young and it was nothing to wear clothes. Most children in the village community were like this. If it was winter, they would just live in the haystacks and wait until they were older before they could wear an old linen dress.
The Yi Shi couldn't stand it, so he made a batch of military uniforms in his backpack and luggage, and distributed them to other families in the village who couldn't even wear clothes. He made a batch of four-size clothes in the style of Si Shang during the day.
The children were happy, and the adults at home also became more close to the Mo family.
Although there is a lot of land at this time and hemp plants are everywhere, they have to pay taxes every year and need to do some farm work. They are busy until they are busy. They may not be able to prepare enough clothes for their family members. Originally, until the time when Mencius traveled decades later, the cloth and silk fu in Qilu still existed, let alone at this time.
"July" sings: Without clothes or brown, why do you die in the year? This is not a whine without any illness.
Because of the clothes, the child used a snake to repay the scent of the barbecue. Shu Guitian felt that the snake meat was so fragrant for the first time.
Based on this point, a small piece of roasted snake meat should be considered what Shu Guitian wants most.
On the other side of the bonfire, the people in the village used their open hearts to repay the Mo family here. For Sun Pu, the opened hearts of the people were also what he wanted most.
"Yes, life is hard. Where can I not be hard?"
"In February, you have to do the work of public fields first. Planting crops requires timely season, but when you are at the busiest time, you have to finish the work of public fields first before you can be busy with your own."
"In summer, weed the owner's fields first, and there are five days a month to do his home affairs for the owner."
"In autumn, you have to collect your own fields first before you can collect your own fields. After paying taxes, you must quickly repair the house for your owner and mow the grass to prepare the owner's horse food in winter."
"We need to perform martial arts in winter. When it freezes, we have to dig a shady cellar to hide ice for our masters. We also have to chop firewood and hunt. Every year, the villages and communities have to pay tribute to some wild animals. If there are fewer ones, we have to punish them. Those wild animals are all used by our masters for sacrifice and meeting guests, and they must not be missing."
The father of the child who had caught the snake before had a bitter face, and was red under the bonfire, and finally had some colors other than black and gray, telling Sun Pu all his dissatisfaction and pain.
As the "July" sings, this is the life of the farmer under the feudal land. The nobles rely on feudal obligations to exploit. The farmer has his own means of production, but he needs to fulfill his obligations for the boss before he can do his own thing.
