    ,

    Early morning.

    Several helpers were clearing the snow, and the deputy captain of the personal guard Liu Zhu hurried over.

    "In the general town, some people came to send winter animals, and they all said they didn't want them, but they still refused to leave." Liu Zhu had a sad face when he spoke, but his tone was full of pride.

    Winter animals are a means for landlords to exploit tenants. Taking advantage of the winter solstice festival, they force tenants to give gifts, and they must be poultry and livestock.

    Now, the military households near Fucheng turned over completely after dividing the fields, and took the initiative to bring gifts and ran to Zhao Han to celebrate the winter solstice.

    Zhao Han said: "Go and explain to the people that you are not allowed to give gifts to officials. If you insist on giving them, let them send them to the nursing home. Those who leave the winter animals and leave will also be sent to the nursing home.  "

    "Obey!" Liu Zhu trotted away.

    Every town has a nursing home, the scale is not large, and the operation is not bad.  They have jobs throughout the year, such as making cloth shoes for soldiers, sewing some military padded clothes, etc. Many urban homeless people also make shoes and sell them to the General Military Office.

    Fei Rulan held a cloak in her hand, chased it out and shouted: "Put this on, it's very cold today, don't catch a cold!"

    Zhao Han turned around with a smile, Fei Rulan had already come to the front, quickly helping Zhao Han put on the cloak.

    This is a double-breasted smock, and Fei Rulan personally sewed a goose feather cloak.  After Zhao Han put it on, he felt warm and light, reminiscent of a down jacket.

    Walking to the Yamen in the front yard, Li Banghua had returned from Jishui and was waiting for a meeting.

    As we said before, the number of people taking the county exam in the Ming Dynasty was the largest. Tens of thousands of people took the exam in Linchuan County, Jiangxi Province, and all of them were schoolchildren and children who did not pass the exam.

    The quality of scholars in Jishui County is higher, but due to the area of ??cultivated land, there are not as many scholars as in Linchuan County.  However, in Jishui (excluding the county seat) with a total of 120,000 people, there are also four to five thousand scholars who have read the Four Books and Five Classics. If you count a few hundred people who are literate, they can directly exceed ten thousand, and even some tenant children can recognize a few words.  .

    By the way, land annexation was serious in the late Ming Dynasty, which led to a decrease in the number of scholars in Jiangxi, and the number of Jinshi was also much smaller than before.

    In the middle and early Ming Dynasty, a large number of impoverished children from Jiangxi were admitted to Jinshi.  By the end of the Ming Dynasty, Jinshi from poor families in Jiangxi was very rare.

    After Li Banghua came forward to appeal, countless low-level scholars took refuge, and the number of "talents" has exploded.

    In order to prevent cheating in the division of land, scholars from Jishui County were transferred to Anfu County to assist in the division of land.  The scholars from Anfu County were transferred to Jishui to help divide the fields.

    It is often a missionary officer who takes a few newly recruited scholars to each village to organize the distribution of fields.  In this case, the work of dividing the fields in the two counties was quickly completed, and then the peasant associations of the two counties were formed.

    "Headquarters!"

    Everyone stood up.

    Zhao Han raised his hand and said, "Let's all sit down and talk about the situation."

    Chen Maosheng took the lead in speaking: "Now we have no shortage of scholars, especially children and students who have studied the Four Books and Five Classics. There are so many that there is no job to arrange them. But among them, many people do not believe in the harmony of the world, and they often do things unruly.  In my opinion, Bailuzhou Academy should be renamed Datong Academy, and it is dedicated to teaching well-behaved scholars, and assigning duties after graduation!"

    Li Banghua immediately said: "I agree to run a school to teach Datong thought, but Bailuzhou Academy cannot change its name, otherwise it will definitely arouse the resistance of scholars."

    "There is no need to change the name of the academy." Pang Chunlai also said.

    "Then don't change it." Zhao Han said with a smile.

    But all serious scholars have feelings for Bailuzhou Academy, which is where Wen Tianxiang and many other sages came from.

    Chen Maosheng could only sit back. He was born as an actor and his thinking was particularly radical.

    Zhao Han thought for a while: "I'm here to be the head of the academy, but I only go to give lectures occasionally. Mr. Li is the deputy head of the academy, and he also goes to visit when he has time. Chen Maosheng is Si Ye (dean of academic affairs), in charge of the specific affairs of the academy  .By the way, the magistrate of Wang County has been around the countryside, and he is a little awkward to return to Fucheng, so let him go to the academy as a professor."

    "Ha ha ha ha!"

    Everyone burst into laughter.

    The former Luling magistrate Wang Tiaoding was willing to follow the thief, but he was unwilling to follow the thief. He was very uncomfortable.

    However, Wang Diaoding and Ouyang Zheng co-authored a theoretical article - "On the Dividing of Land in Datong".

    The point of entry into the discussion is very tricky, which comes from the sentence in "Lao Tzu": The way of heaven is to make up for what is not enough; the way of man is to make up for what is not enough;  Who can have more than enough to serve the world?  There is only Tao.

    What do you mean?

    Landlords' continuous annexation of land belongs to the way of human beings and is a necessity of human nature.  Zhao Han presides over sub-fieldof?  "Zhao Han was very surprised.

    Fei Ruhe said: "I sent someone to Yuanzhou to inquire about the news, but it was Tian Younian, the prefect of Yuanzhou. He heard that the Tartars were besieging Beijing, so he started recruiting craftsmen to make bows. He recruited more than ten bowmen from the Nanchangwei Weaponry Station.  He ordered local craftsmen in Yuanzhou to study. In the autumn of the fourth year of Chongzhen, five hundred pairs of bows and arrows were made, all of which were deported to the capital and presented to the emperor. I heard that he was rewarded by the emperor and allocated money to him to continue making bows."

    "This is a talent." Zhao Han sighed.

    Fei Ruhe continued: "Yuanzhouwei has its own weapon shop, and he recruited some craftsmen from Nanchang. Now there are hundreds of bowmakers in Yuanzhou. They can make hundreds of bows and tens of thousands of arrows every year.  Some were transported to the capital, and some were kept for his own use. This man has more than 3,000 soldiers under his command, of which 1,000 are archers."

    Pang Chunlai sighed suddenly: "It seems that our strong enemy is not Li Maofang and Wang Siren who suppressed the bandits in Duchang, but Tian Younian, the prefect of Yuanzhou. This man has been training for at least a year, and he is not a temporary beggar soldier. No wonder  The rebel army in Pingxiang was easily wiped out by him."

    "If the rebel army in Duchang is wiped out," Li Banghua said, "Tian Younian is likely to bring his elite troops and come south with the governor to attack us."

    Yuanzhou is just north of Anfu County. At first glance, it seems to be a very close neighbor, but there are mountains in the middle, so it only needs to defend a few main roads.

    If Tian Younian was smart, he would not have come over the mountains. He would probably be defeated in an ambush, and he would probably have to travel by water with Governor Li Maofang.

    Pang Chunlai said: "We can't wait for others to fight. We don't even have a pair of armor. It will be a disadvantage to meet thousands of archers."

    "Then take the initiative!"

    Zhao Han got up and said: "Attack Yuanzhou first, without occupying the city or dividing the land, just to destroy Tian Younian's elite. It would be even better if we could 'invite' the bow maker back!"?
