Chapter 788: Drown King Wei

Chapter 788 Drowning King Wei

Tamsui Tun.

The village of the former Danshui Society has now become a new village for immigrants. The new village was built on the original site, and the original village has been remodeled.

Cut down thick logs, built taller and stronger fences, dug ditches to protect the village, and introduced streams and flowing water to pass around the village.

The immigrants from the mainland planted the seeds of various locust trees, willows, peach trees, plum trees and so on brought from their hometown along the stream, hoping to become a green shade in the future.

The original messy houses on stilts in the community were all demolished, and after the land was leveled, more orderly row houses were built.

It is also the suspended wooden stilted building below, but it is more neat, with neat lanes, and there are underground drains in front of and behind the house.

People live upstairs, which can prevent damp snakes and insects, and chickens and pigs can be raised downstairs for family breeding.

Tun Center is a wide and flat playground, where immigrants usually hold meetings and train here in the morning. According to Qin Lang's request, every village that immigrates to reclaim wasteland, according to the head of the villager, organizes the young and strong into the Red Spear Club or the Bow and Arrow Club to practice spears or bows and arrows, and serve as the village's township militia to protect the village. village.

Each village also specially built a Tunzhuang primary school, and the Qin family sent a teacher to teach the children in the village, and there were even evening literacy classes to teach the people in the village to read and write.

This is a good benefit, which is highly praised by the villagers.

For the Qin family, the gentlemen sent to the villages are actually equivalent to the deputy village chiefs and accountants sent by the Qin family, who can strengthen the supervision and control of the villages.

Early morning.

The sound of reading can be heard in the Tunzhuang Primary School, and the young and strong men are practicing with spears and bows.

The sun has not yet come out, and it is foggy.

There was smoke from the houses on stilts, and the women were busy making fires to cook. The other women in the family were not idle either. They were either weaving or spinning. These were part of the Qin Lang family's economy. The girls waited to work in the workshop, and distributed some materials to the villages for processing by these women.

Women can also process at home and earn a manual fee, which does not affect their husbands and children at home, cooking and farming.

Qin Lang opened the window, feeling the harmonious morning, with a smile on his face.

Simple but vibrant!

This village is full of vigor and vitality, and everyone is working hard, perhaps because they are more ambitious.

"Sanlang is really in good spirits. Last night, he tossed the slave's house so late, but now he wakes up so early, aren't you tired?"

Madam Anong opened her eyes and looked at Qin Lang who was standing at the window.

"Thirty is like a wolf, forty is like a tiger, we are all in the age of tigers and wolves, how can we be tired?" Qin Lang smiled and turned his head, "Get up, follow me to pay homage to the society officials later!"

When Qin Lang came under the big tree in front of the school in the village, all the young and strong in training had already gone home, and the elementary school also rang the bell for the end of get out of class, and the immature children cheered and went home to eat after school.

Some women moved quickly, and had already brought a basket to the tree to pay tribute.

This is a very common camphor tree, but it is older and has luxuriant branches. The tree was not moved during the previous leveling of the village. Not only was it not moved, but the new immigrants also respected the tree as the community tree of Tamshui Tunzhuang.

"This is just an ordinary camphor tree, why did it become a community tree?" Mrs. Anong was puzzled when she saw that Qin Lang took the lead in paying respects to this camphor tree.

"You may not know some customs in the Central Plains. This tree is indeed just an ordinary tree, but after the immigrants came, they scattered the soil from their hometown under the tree, sealed the soil as a society, and put the gods and gods of the society on the tree. .”

"What is a communal official?"

"Community official, he is also the Lord of the Land!"

Han people worship gods, there are city gods in cities, and communal officials in villages.

Community officials are also called Tudigong, or Tubogong.

People don't sacrifice the land **** at home, but choose a big tree that grows well in the village or outside the village, ask the land **** to attach it, sacrifice and worship, so this tree becomes a community tree .

Of course, in different places, the legends and romances of social officials are different. For example, in Lingnan, Wutong God is worshiped. It is said that Wutongshen is originally a stone spirit in the mountains, so it is also called Shi Bogong, because Shi Bogong can absorb people's spirits, so they can't call each other's names in the mountains, and if they call names, they will be captured by Shi Bogong. Later, he worshiped with incense and fire, and finally became the patron saint of the village.

Of course, there are also local legends, saying that once a person lost his footing and drowned and became a water ghost. But he waited for many years, but no one drowned. One day, a woman wanted to drown herself because her husband scolded her and couldn't think about it for a while.

The water ghost found out that the woman was pregnant with a child. He couldn't bear it for a while. The woman threw herself into the water, and he pushed her back to the shore.

The matter was later known to He Bo, and He Bo reported to the Dragon King. The Dragon King felt that the water ghost was kind-hearted, so he made the water ghost an official of the community and became the patron saint of the villagers.

·······

The original immigrants from Central China often carry a handful of soil from their hometown when they come out. After they settle in the new village, they will scatter the soil from their hometown under the communal tree.

The community tree is the incarnation of the community officials. Usually, there is no need for temples or golden statues, but it will always bless the villagers. Therefore, we must respect the community tree and allow no desecration.

If someone dares to damage the community tree, or even defecate in front of the community tree, throw garbage, etc., then according to the legend, disaster will inevitably happen to this person.

And on the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, bring a bowl of vegetarian food to the shrine tree to pay tribute, and bring pork, chicken, wine and other sacrifices during festivals, and you will be blessed by the shrine officials.

This is a beautiful vision.

Tamshuitun is still very simple.

But the villagers from all over the country, even the slaves in the village, are very positive, because now they have enough food and clothing, and they have a bright future.

Slaves are expected to be free, villagers are looking forward to earning their own permanent family property, and tenants are also looking forward to better harvests and sharing.

When people have a bright future in life, they will have a lot of energy.

"I'm really reluctant to leave here!"

Qin Lang stayed here for a few months, seeing the bustle here day by day, he was really reluctant to leave.

But he will leave eventually, he can't stay here forever.

"Isn't King Wei coming soon?"

"I guess it's time to enter the port in the next two days, and that King Wei is really arrogant."

"A dignified prince is naturally extremely noble."

Wei Wang Li Baoding adopted the distant clan to Li Xuanba as his heir, with a special gift, he directly inherited the title of Wei Wang, not the heir of Wei Wang. Internal account matters, etc., and money, food, chariots, horses, craftsmen, etc. were dispatched.

This kind of treatment is indeed enviable.

Li Baoding set out from Chang'an and brought nearly 10,000 people, guarding soldiers, artisans, slaves, and even Leban kabuki, etc., and walked for almost three months before arriving in Fuzhou.

The others haven't arrived yet, but Wei Wang Jialing has already crossed the island with thousands of troops in advance, and wants to occupy the new Danshui City under construction as soon as he arrives.

Qin Lang didn't get used to him, so he directly taught this short-sighted family order a lesson, beating him up like a pig's head. This family order did not dare to be arrogant, and the old city did not dare to ask for it.

Honestly led people to take a boat up the Danshui to the site Qin Lang had selected in advance in the hinterland of the Tamshui Plain, preparing to build the King Wei City.

This person didn't live in peace for a few days, and began to be dishonest again.

Actually issued an order directly in the name of King Wei, asking the surrounding counties and villages to send young and strong men to build a city for him, Qin Lang directly rejected it again.

According to the system of the imperial court, the people are divided into mu, and the money is converted into service. The imperial government can no longer enlist the people to serve, because the people have already paid the money for the service, so the government can only pay for the people to do the service.

Of course, hiring depends on whether the person is willing or not.

Wei Wang Jialing hit two nails in a row, so he had to go back to Fuzhou in despair to find Li Baoding and cry about Qin Lang's domineering.

"If King Wei arrives, will there be any trouble?"

"If he is the emperor's son, whether it is Qi Wang Li You, Wu Wang Li Ke, or Wei Wang Li Tai, I have to give some face, but a mere King Wei who is a descendant of the clan, why should I be afraid of him?"

Liuqiu is not King Wei's private kingdom. Although it is his vassal land, the vassal system of the Tang Dynasty is quite different from that of the Han and Wei dynasties. Generally speaking, the rights have actually been reduced a lot.

Wei Wang Li Baoding came to Liuqiu, and he didn't just do whatever he wanted.

After breakfast, I was about to finish the last tour of the village and return to Tamsui City, but I met someone from Tamsui City.

"Mr. Wei, Governor Dugu of Fuzhou sent someone across the sea to send an urgent message. King Wei was fishing in the sea at the mouth of the Minjiang River. Unfortunately, he fell into the water and was eaten by a big shark!"

Qin Lang was dumbfounded when he heard the news.

"Can you say that again?"

The King of Wei, Li Baoding, sailed from Fuzhou Port, and brought a mighty fleet of horses to Danshui Port. Not long after he set out to sea, he insisted on fishing at sea.

Just fish as long as you fish, but in the end he killed fish at sea to make sashimi.

In order to eat a few slices of fresh sashimi, many fish were killed, and only the most tender two slices of each fish were taken, and the rest were thrown into the sea directly.

As a result, the gore attracted a group of sharks.

Wang Wei Li Baoding had never seen a shark before, and he didn't know how powerful it was, but he still wanted to catch the shark to eat. But he caught the shark, but he didn't have any fishing skills.

The bloody-excited shark shoals directly devoured Li Baoding, and his guards didn't even have a chance to rescue him.

King Wei Li Baoding, no bones left.

The guards only grabbed a few strips of clothes!

Now King Wei's fleet arrived at Danshui Port as scheduled, but King Wei only came with a few pieces of rags.

The news shocked Qin Lang and he had nothing to say.

"Let's go back to Danshui."

The first prince who entered the feudal domain was one step short of reaching the fiefdom, but died in the Strait.

This is a big deal, big news.
