Wei and Jin cooks

Chapter 1159: Filial piety

Two more thatched huts were built on the mountain in the past two days, forming a triangle to surround this area. Fu Tinghan can now live in one by himself. Brothers Fu Xuan and Fu Chang meet again after a long separation, so they naturally live together.

Although Fu Xuan soon got bored and didn't want to live with his brother anymore, Fu Tinghan soon filled his thatched house with all kinds of information, drawings and books, as well as all kinds of strange tools. Let alone another person living in it, even Fu Tinghan himself sometimes feels cramped.

Turning his head to look at his two silly nephews, Fu Xuan sighed and agreed that Fu Chang would continue to live with him.

Zhao Hanzhang dug a shallow pit next to the fire with a sharpened stick, then grabbed a handful of shelled soybeans and threw them in, covered them with mud, and then pulled two pieces of almost burned charcoal to cover them.

Just when he was about to take back the stick, he turned in mid-air, plucked the yam on the side, tapped it, and pulled it out. The stick picked it up intact and brought it to Fu Tinghan, "Try it and see if it's cooked." Is there any more?"

Fu Tinghan smiled at her, pressed the button, it should be cooked, so he carefully peeled off a layer of skin and ate it.

The wild yam was glutinous and pink, and a little sweet. It comforted his internal organs that felt empty due to being a vegetarian for a long time. He nodded with satisfaction and said: "It's ready."

Zhao Hanzhang set aside the remaining yams for Fu Xuan and Fu Chang to eat.

Fu Chang stared at the edamame in the basket, "Why are there still green and soybeans at this time?"

Zhao Hanzhang: "For those planted in Sinong Temple, they want to try rotation and interplanting to statistically analyze the differences between sowing and harvesting in various time periods." In fact, the most important thing is to prepare for a rainy day.

Nowadays, there are many fields, and everyone can get the full amount of koufentian and yongye field, but that will not be the case in the future, so they need to consider how people can cultivate to maximize the value of the land if the number of fields decreases.

But there is no need to say it out loud. No one except Fu Tinghan knows about her concerns.

Fu Chang: "Can the manpower support be enough? Isn't the biggest problem in Jin Dynasty right now the lack of manpower?"

"Yes, so in addition to studying grain seeds, agricultural tools, fertilizers and various methods to increase per-acre yield, Sinong Temple cannot relax its animal husbandry, especially the work of domesticating cattle for farming, breeding cattle, and eugenic cattle."

Zhao Hanzhang had already ordered the opening of cattle farms and horse farms in several counties and counties, and then continuously purchased cattle and horses from Dai State and gave them to them for training.

Be sure to turn the prairie cattle into farm cattle, and the prairie horses remain prairie horses.

Unfortunately, there were very few stallions they could buy. Even Tuoba Liuxiu was not willing to trade many stallions to her. Most of the horses sent over were castrated.

Zhao Hanzhang: "The results of Sinong Temple are slow to come out, but even if you optimize a little bit a year, you can increase the yield per mu of ordinary people a little bit every year. If you add up, the harvest will be huge. But Without favorable water conditions, these efforts are likely to be fruitless.”

Speaking of water conservancy issues, Fu Chang immediately thought of the terrible situation of the Yellow River. He had been thinking about his father for the past two days and was not in the mood to think about other issues. At this moment, when Zhao Hanzhang mentioned it, the Yellow River he saw could not help but appear in his mind. .

He sat up straighter and asked: "Sanniang has already met Dr. Shen, right? How does the court plan to deal with the problem of siltation of the Yellow River?"

Zhao Hanzhang said: "We need people who can control water to control rivers."

She looked at Fu Chang with bright eyes, her meaning was self-evident.

Fu Chang tilted his head to avoid her eyes and whispered: "I am in the period of mourning."

Zhao Hanzhang: "Ting Han is also in the period of filial piety. The court seized his love and asked him to return to the court after observing the filial piety for three months."

Fu Chang hesitated.

Nowadays, unlike the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there are too many red tapes. Especially in today's world, scholars are more yearning for freedom and individuality. The words "unconventional" may be criticized as deviant in later eras, but in the Wei and Jin eras, in the In the eyes of scholars, this is a compliment.

Therefore, it is not a problem at all for Fu Chang and Fu Tinghan to become officials during their filial piety. Except for some Confucian scholars who have objections, most people accept it.

Even if they sang farewell to Fu Zhi like Zhuangzi, ate meat and drank wine as usual, and went to and from the palace in gorgeous clothes, not many people would criticize them in this era.

If you are criticized, just retort.

The reason why they chose the Confucian way of observing filial piety, and Zhao Hanzhang also specifically made a decree to win over his love, was because Fu Zhi was known for his filial piety, and his sons inherited their father's aspirations. Whether it was emotionally or ideologically, they all wanted to be like their father. Be filial.

Moreover, Zhao Hanzhang also needs to set a tone for this society.

Wei and Jin were very open, but too open.

This is a double-edged sword, and she can do a lot of things with its openness. Because Wei Jin pursues individuality and freedom, she will encounter much less resistance when breaking some secular rules;

However, an overly open atmosphere can also cause a lot of unrest, so she needs to be restrained.

Dharma is the first keynote she gave to Dajin;

And filial piety is the second one.

Zhao Hanzhang said: "I know that my second uncle is filial to my grandfather, but to fulfill your filial piety, you should not abide by the rules. Isn't my grandfather's wish that the country be peaceful and the people are safe? Now the country is in need of my second uncle's talent. Isn't fulfilling my grandfather's wish also an act of filial piety?" "

Fu Chang smiled bitterly: "Confucian scholars would not think so."

Zhao Hanzhang asked: "Is your second uncle a Confucian scholar?"

Fu Chang paused, he really wasn't, but he had been familiar with Confucian classics since he was a child. Although he didn't call himself a Confucian scholar, he couldn't help but hold himself to the moral standards of a Confucian scholar.

"Furthermore, how could my uncle know that Confucian scholars can't understand?" Zhao Hanzhang said: "You underestimate Confucian scholars. When it comes to inclusiveness of all things, Xun Confucianism can be the first."

When Fu Chang heard this, he couldn't help but burst out laughing. He realized something was wrong when he laughed out loud. He paused, thought about the word "Xunru" again, and finally stopped worrying about it. He patted his thigh and started laughing.

He laughed to the point of tears. He couldn't help crying when he smiled, "Xunru, Xunru, how could I forget that my father loves Xunzi the most, but I stick to the rules? It's me, it's me who restrains myself."

He wiped away his tears and looked at Fu Xuan, "Brother, do you want to join me in serving the country in mourning?"

Fu Xuan shook his head, "I don't."

Fu Chang was stunned. When did his brother become so obedient? "You want to stay here for three years for your father?"

Fu Xuan, who was eating yam, paused for a moment, then put down the yam in his hand, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and said: "No, I only follow the etiquette. After the hot filial piety, I will go down the mountain and go home. When it is time to sacrifice, I should take care of myself." Take care of yourself."

He looked at Zhao Hanzhang and said: "Like Mr. Zhao, I should obey the filial piety."

Oh, this is an allusion from her biological grandfather. The so-called filial piety means observing funeral rites but paying attention to filial piety that does not harm the body.

Her grandfather said that for the elders, observing filial piety at the expense of physical health is simply tearing out their hearts, and that is unfilial. So when he was sick, he would occasionally say to Zhao Hanzhang, "Eat meat when you should, eat meat when you don't." Damage your body for me."

Zhao Hanzhang complied very well.

Good night
