0541 Wu's narrow nature
In terms of family affairs, there is actually not much to discuss.
Thanks to the generous makeup dowry of Princess Xing and the large-scale self-development of Shen Zhezi when he regained Jiankang, now a large number of Wu people come to the north, and the Shen family's industries near the capital have become increasingly strong and are on the right track.
Ren Qiu also understood what Shen Zhezi was concerned about, so he was just a hasty talk about it, and the focus was on the development of the Wujiang fiefdom. Because Shen Zhezi sold Dingcang bonds in large quantities and recovered a large amount of funds, almost all of these goods were exchanged for materials and bet on the construction of the Wujiang fiefdom.
Now, Shen Zhezi's soil has been explored and excavated, and the furnace has been cast. Although the output has not been fully formed, at least it has been produced.
Shen Zhezi was quite satisfied with this progress. After all, Wujiang was rebuilt from the newly abandoned soil. He wanted to build Wujiang into a military-industrial site in Jiangbei and provide a steady stream of military equipment for the Northern Expedition. Therefore, the idea of this base is also extremely huge. At least tens of thousands of full-time craftsmen in the future will gather together.
To build and maintain such a huge military base, in ancient times, such production conditions would be completely impossible without a strong central government presidency and mobilizing all kinds of things as backing.
However, in recent years, Shen Zhezi has been digging deep into Wuzhong's potential and trying to break the resource barriers of the manor economy. Now, Jiangdong merchants have made profits by boat transportation. Wujiang is backed by the river, and at least in terms of the consumption of basic resources such as grain, it can be completely dependent on external seeking without relying on self-sufficiency.
The reason why Shen Zhezi put this matter on the agenda until now, rather than lying on the local business development is that the more concentrated the military industry, the larger the scale, the larger the production capacity will be. Although the Shen family was known as the Jiangdong leader in the early years, it was not enough to support large-scale full-time craftsmen. If it were just the operation of a small workshop, the ten-year achievement may not be as good as the result of Wujiang in the future.
Although the Jienu in the northern region is extremely vicious, there are actually quite a lot of hidden dangers. Although the foundation of the Central Plains is deep and across the Yangtze River, a considerable part of it is concentrated in the dock walls that are defending in various places, and it is difficult for the Jienu to effectively launch it. If it is defeated one by one, and there is no room for survival in the dock walls at all, then the north region will be an anti-Hu wave.
Although Jiangdong has a shallow foundation, thanks to the role of Wuzhong Shang League as a model, a large amount of materials are active in the rivers and transporting all parties, and they are in short supply, rather than being deposited in various manors as before and difficult to use. Therefore, from this point of view, Jiangdong is already ahead of Jienu in terms of resource scheduling methods.
Even if they do not fight each other and develop on their own, the development of Jiangdong will definitely be much faster than that of the Central Plains! Of course, whether there is enough energy to be sufficient is the importance of the war between the two countries. The most important thing is whether there are soldiers who can exert this energy into effective force!
The Jiangdong Shaoma is a natural defect. In the future, the Northern Expedition field will definitely be in a disadvantage. Therefore, Shen Zhezi must build a huge military base with strong armor and sharp soldiers, and improve individual soldiers as much as possible protection and combat capabilities.
After listening to Ren Qiu's introduction to the development progress of Wujiang, Shen Zhezi sent a large wooden box brought from Taichung to Wujiang with a flying boat. The wooden box contained the techniques he picked when he had recently sorted out classics in the capital. Most of them were old wooden slips. It was probably passed down from the Three Kingdoms and even the Later Han Dynasty. Because it was inconspicuous, it was avoided from being burned by the smuggling soldiers.
The smelting and casting skills of the southerners were far inferior to those of the Central Plains. Even in the most prosperous Wuzhong area, the casting method is still often used today, such as forging and frying. Although it has been circulated, it has not been popularized, and there are not many mature craftsmen available.
Compared with craftsmen with skilled craftsmanship, Shen Zhezi attaches more importance to the accumulation of mature casting experience. The former may be able to cast some high-quality military armor, but the latter can cultivate a large number of qualified craftsmen and detonate production capacity.
In fact, Shen Zhezi really wanted to visit Wujiang in person and build the base of Wujiang from scratch. However, if he left the center, there would be no strong enough people in the Taiwan area to block political risks for the development of Wujiang. Wen Qiao and Yu Tan were just allies, and they did not have the obligation to escort Shen Zhezi all the way.
So at present, we can only organize these preliminary preparations to those who can be appointed, and we will be in the middle to strive for a better development space.
As soon as he finished talking about these things, before Si Shi was over, a visitor came to his house. This visitor was a son of the Xiahou clan of Qiao State, named Xiahou Mang, who wanted to marry Shen Zhezi's cousin Shen Qing. Originally, Shen Zhezi proposed to meet him, but later he was busy in Taiwan and had no time to invite him.
Shen Zhezi also heard the princess say yesterday that because he had no accurate letter here, Shen Peizhi's family had already started the Six Literatures Charter with the other party. Since they were idle today, we might as well meet them before.
The family quickly attracted Xiahou Mang. Shen Zhezi looked at this person. At the age of twentieth, he was considered a handsome appearance. He was wearing a cloth robe and did not have flashy decorations like pink. He looked like a sunny boy.
After seeing Li, Shen Zhezi invited Xiahou Mang to take his seat and said with a smile: "I had already said that I would receive Xiahou Lang in the mansion. However, since I entered Taiwan, everything has been complicated and I have only been free."
"The prince-consort has a great task, and he has many knowledges. It is an honor to be invited to see him. How dare you ask him to disturb me?"
Xiahou Mang sat in the table, facing Shen Zhezi, a big playboy who was mostly known by rumors, his expression was very restrained. Although his ancestors were rich, time had changed and now they are living in distant villages, so they have to recognize the reality.
Shen Zhezi had a pretty good impression of Xiahou Mang. Since the marriage between the two families had been decided, he would not say anything more. He just asked with a smile: "In the future, Xiahoulang may not be a relative of the Zhali. If you have time in the future, you might as well come to the mansion to gather together. It is not easy to establish a distant village. It is also a two-step move to be able to watch over and support each other. By the way, does Xiahoulang have to recommend the entry in the township?"
After hearing this, Xiahou Mang looked a little embarrassed and shook his head and said, "No."
After hearing this, Shen Zhezi pondered for a moment, then looked at Xiahou Mang's face and understood something.
Although the Nine-rank official law was an extremely important method of selecting people during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, it was actually not absolute. Especially in the early days of Yongjia, when people changed frequently in such an extremely turbulent era, people's affairs changed frequently, and the poor people fell into dust, and luckily, the Nine-rank official law was actually a bit embarrassing.
For example, Shen Zhezi, based on his old achievements, is naturally more than the second grade. But one question is involved, should we add Zhuoran? According to the standards of the ninth-rank official legal standards, Shen Zhezi is forced to be ranked second grade. If Zhuoran is added, then his standards will be gone. However, if Zhuoran is not added, even if he is ranked second, he is still a second-rank talent.
If Shen Zhezi is considered a second-class talent, who would dare to claim that he is first-class in the current situation?
So Shen Zhezi simply didn't get into the product, and could also be used to make it useless, and it was unnecessary to cause that embarrassment. It was not only him, but now his direct descendants like Chen Yun did not urge them to get into the product. Now the Shen family is different from the past. It was no longer as beautiful as Chen Mu's choice of the third grade when he was so beautiful that he had to choose the third grade. Now, looking at it again, Chen Mu's third grade talent was a humiliation. After all, no one expected that his family would rise so quickly.
As for Xiahou Mang's failure to enter the rank, it should be another situation. The family decline is too serious and the family is sufficient to be a second-class, but the actual teaching is often not satisfactory. Therefore, they simply do not enter, so as not to shame their ancestors.
The Nine-rank official law is originally applicable to a relatively stable social structure. Once the social class and resource allocation are violently turbulent, it will lose its meaning and will only be half-waste and will not be strictly implemented. As for the importance of the middle and late Eastern Jin Dynasty, it is because the overall situation of the high sect declines, and there is nothing to brag about if the ancestors are not bragging about.
"There are many situations nowadays, and everyone is willing to go through their own things. It is not appropriate to generalize the talents. If you don't get the product, you won't get into it. There are many peers gatherings in my family's other businesses. If Xiahoulang is interested, he might as well go there. If the true talent is contained in it, it will be revealed in the long run."
The ninth-rank official law itself is nothing in Shen Zhezi's eyes. Of course, it would not judge whether it is a good or bad person by whether he is an in-class or not. After hearing Xiahou Mang's answer, he smiled and comforted him.
Xiahou Mang was deeply moved when he heard this. Naturally, he did not have the powerful political resources as powerful as Shen Zhezi. Not being able to earn the grade would mean that there would be no channels for him to enter the officialdom. If it weren't for the future father-in-law Chen Pei's high eyes and he would have almost no place to stand in the capital, and when he heard that Shen Zhezi was willing to support him, he would have thanked him repeatedly.
Shen Zhezi didn't care about Xiahou Mang's thanks. He just remembered the tragedy of his aunt at home. He didn't want his cousin to suffer misfortune after getting married. He also said seriously: "Wu is narrow-minded and deeply in the courtyard. If he can be united, he will be prosperous together. Otherwise, even if he is not a enemies, he will inevitably look at each other. Even if he does not harm the country with his own selfishness, he will still be a far-reaching person and not a fellow traveler."
Shen Zhezi was so confident that he could describe his father's psychology as being so righteous, so he was well-written by his father's family. He advised Xiahou Mang for a few words before letting him go.
Although Xiahou Mang was also a former family in the Chinese and Korean family, he rarely showed off his pride when he came across the river. He was stunned by Shen Zhezi's style of holding up the political slogan of "the party is the same and the different parties" at any time, and was still confused when he left.
In fact, political slogans are mainly about being fooled. If you can't fool people, then let's talk about it. Shen Zhezi is still relatively low-end, and the higher-end one is similar to Later Zhao Shile, who said he wanted to engage in Liu Bang, compete for Liu Xiu, and not learn from Cao Cao and Sima Yi, and bully the orphans and widows.
In fact, this is a typical political slogan and nonsense. It is just to weaken the legitimacy of Cao Wei and Sima's family in seizing the country. I am afraid Shi Le himself would not believe it. In Shen Zhezi's opinion, he had not met an orphan and widowed mother. If he was placed in that position, he might be more vigorous than others.
Besides, what good thing is Shi Le himself? Foreign countries and foreign races, they have attached themselves to China, first causing trouble at Dianwu, and then backed against Han and Zhao, and were slaves of the master, and raised unfamiliar white-eyed wolf. Although Cao Cao's heroic attitude was a hero throughout his life, he had a beginning and an end, and he respected the Han and did not usurp the Han. Shi Le really didn't deserve to carry his shoes.
He was not self-aware of the two Lius. He just lived by chance in an era where there were more bad than heroes. If he lived in the Three Kingdoms, he could become a big supporting role, which was considered his ancestors' virtue. He fought with a son of destiny like Guangwu, and he would be able to run fast without being beaten.
He did not leave a tomb and had no heirs behind him, which was the most powerful denial of Shi Le's lifelong achievements. He did not have the opportunity to bully the orphan and widowed mother, but the orphan and widowed mother left after his death was bullied and killed by his nephew trained by him, which was very regretful in his life.
Of course, Shen Zhezi was indeed biased in thinking this way. Shi Le did a good job in this chaotic era in the early days of the Five Barbarians. But who made him a Hu Chief? Who would not be a double standard?
The most powerful method to despise a person is naturally to defeat him on the battlefield. However, when Shen Zhezi came to this era, Jie Hu had already achieved success, and he had to face a crisis where internal and external difficulties, and his wealth and life were unsustainable. He struggled to break the situation with the Nan people who were already wary of being very wary.
