Chapter 82 Legacy
Thirteen barons squeezed together, and from their clothes, they also knew that the baron's life was different. In addition to having fields and ferries, Yunyao also had skillful weaving. In addition to straw raincoats, reed mats, bamboo baskets, there were also mosquito coils. They lived a good life by relying on hard work, but some barons only rely on the output of the fiefdom, relying on the weather to make a living. If they encounter any major disaster, they would go hungry.
If Yunyao hadn't had craftsmanship, and only she was alone, she would have gone hungry after her father's funeral. If he really relied on land alone, the baron's life would be difficult. After all, there were places where money was spent everywhere in the fief, and the animals sacrificed by the baron, and the ritual vessels were all of the barons. Moreover, when participating in various activities, the baron had to have a suit and spend money to prepare. If the family had a little more population, they would have to save money.
So it is not surprising that Yunyao will meet the Baron in old clothes. She can only say that this is her first time participating in the archery ceremony. She has the first time she has the opportunity to meet the Baron of Lu. She is not rich.
Yunyao found herself stand out among a group of barons because she was wearing exquisite new clothes. Although she sucked a lot of gray on the way, the quality of the clothes was still the best. The main body of this set of clothes was linen cloth, silk wrapped in cuffs and collar, and the belt was black dog skin, which was sewn by Ji Jiang with needles and threads. The dog skin was Ji She's treasure, and wearing it on Yunyao enhances her temperament.
It looks very decent with white dog leather boots in the same color as the clothes, and there is no problem going out to pretend to be an earl.
It can be seen that Yunyao's living standards in the baron circle are quite good. The other barons in the tent have old clothes and bad faces, and they are not even as good as Ji She or Shu Zai. If they weren't sitting in this tent, no one would have believed that they were also nobles.
"We won't participate. You can compete with them for archery shooting with Ms. Zhu. I heard that Ms. Zhu is good at shooting and should be the first to get the best and appreciated." Fang Gu said: "As for our shooting skills, we can't get it." Barons can shoot archery, but they are only able to shoot archery, which is not a specialty.
"Can you participate in horse racing?" Horse racing is actually a horse racing carriage. Although horse riding has appeared, it is basically just riding. No one can compete for horse riding because it is too dangerous. The saddle and stirrups do not appear, and horse riding depends entirely on the clamps of two legs.
"If you don't participate, this year, the Lu family's husband-Zhu will definitely be the first." Fang Gu said: "The Lu family is an earl. There is a retainer named Zhufu. He is very good at driving carriages. He was the first in the archery ceremony in the past three years."
"Oh, so that's it." Yun Yao thought to himself that they were all here to visit, not to participate. It seems that the main competition tomorrow will be between the high nobles and the nobles.
They have more land and more surplus grain, and they can also have more time and energy to train. In order to train archery, Yunyao eats salt every meal, so she maintains an exaggerated amount of training. I am afraid that the viscount and the earl are not as expensive as Yunyao's consumption. The salt she ate in a summer is enough to buy the largest bronze cauldron.
The principle of studying hard and practicing martial arts is unchanging forever. The baron in front of Yunyao does not have the conditions as good as her, and there is no support from the demon clan behind him. Naturally, he is unable to compare with those high-ranking nobles who do not have to worry about their livelihood.
"Jun Fang, I won't talk about the matter of sakura. You can continue to talk to us about borrowing grain to open up wasteland. Isn't it true?" Several barons looked at Fang Gu directly. It turned out that they were talking about the matter of sucking up wasteland before Yun Yao came.
"Of course it is true. It will start next spring. You can definitely borrow grain to open up wasteland. This was created by Song Ying, a girl who married into our country of Lu, and was approved by the king. If there is still land that needs to be opened in your fiefdom, you can borrow grain." Song Ying, who is Zhang, has the surname Ying.
Yunyao found that some barons were already moved and couldn't help asking: "Does there be any land in your fiefdom?" She felt incredible because her fiefdom had been developed, and there was no wasteland except for the land that was difficult to reclaim, such as reed marshes.
"Of course there are." The Baron thought that Yunyao's problem was very strange. The Baron's fifteen miles of land was quite a lot. It doesn't require population, no surplus grain, no seeds and agricultural tools? How do you say that reclaiming wasteland is easy?
Yunyao originally thought that opening a pit was to continuously expand the territory, but now she realized that she was wrong. It turned out that there was still a lot of unreclaimed land in Lu. It was because her fiefdom was managed too well, which led to her misunderstanding.
Yunyao found that he underestimated his deceased father because the fiefdom was carried out by Zhu Le, and it was precisely because of his efforts that he left his daughter a fiefdom that had been reclaimed.
Why did Zhu Le die young? It was because he was too busy. He forgot to eat and sleep to reclaim the fief, and he used all the energy of his Western Zhou people.
At that time, Yunyao didn't know much about the Western Zhou Dynasty and thought that the cheap father would do something easy. She didn't think it was difficult at all. But she didn't know how hard Zhu Le worked, so she finally died at a young age.
It was not until he sat with other barons that Yunyao realized that the gap was really big. His cheap father really worked hard to leave a rich family background.
Of course, the beginning of Yunyao's fiefdom is indeed easier than that of other barons. The reward for saving the young master's life was huge, and the population and seeds were sufficient, which gave Yunyao's father the capital to open up the land.
Other barons have land, but do not have enough population and seeds, and they will naturally become poor when encountering problems in management and allocation.
For example, the old baron next to Yunyao was very poor and was completely used. Because he used sheep and pigs every time he sacrificed, and did not do anything within his ability. He thought of bribing more to God, asking God to take care of him and increase the land yield. The result was that the more he sacrificed to heaven, the more poor he was, and God did not bless him to get a bumper harvest every year.
This is the business issue.
Yunyao felt sorry for killing two chickens. People didn't blink their eyes when they killed sheep and pigs. If they spent money with such a big hand, they would naturally not be able to make ends meet. But the reason for spending money is very legitimate. Even if they are poor, they are worthy of being poor. I respect God and I am proud, and I wear a torn jacket for God.
It was only after I left home that I realized that my family was good. Every family had a difficult sutra to recite. Yun Yao had a long experience. I heard that they wanted to borrow food to open up wasteland, and I hope the "Hefu" could help them.
It will definitely help. After all, most Chinese people are still hardworking and are divided into severity. They will not learn from this old man only hopes that God will give him a good harvest, and do not combine it with reality at all, and do not know how to do it within their means.
Listening to everyone's chat and policies, Yunyao has a feeling of traveling through time and space. If a group of middle-class people gather together in thousands of years, they will definitely chat like this. Unexpectedly, the same was true for the Western Zhou Dynasty. Yunyao couldn't get into the mouth. Although the system was decided by her and Zhang Nu, she was not responsible for implementing it.
