The Great Han Begins with Farming

Therefore, I have never felt that the Han Dynasty was anything to aspire to, and the Tang Dynasty was nothing more than that! The Qin State laid the foundation for the rule of law. Although it looks rough, violent and crude, its execution is no worse than it is now! But by Liu Bang's Han Dynasty, it went directly back to before liberation, not much different from the Zhou Dynasty, Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period hundreds of years ago! During the Han and Tang Dynasties, the nobility dominated society, and ordinary people basically had no chance to get ahead. It was considered a prosperous age if they could barely survive! Think about Qin Shihuang's son Fusu. He was almost half a prince, but was he as arrogant and domineering as the powerful men in the Han and Tang Dynasties? The prince of Qin Xiaogong, King Qin Huiwen, was once deposed as a commoner because of murder. In the Han and Tang Dynasties, or in subsequent dynasties, who could achieve such a severe punishment? The Qin Dynasty did have strict laws and heavy corvee labor, but at least ordinary people did not have to worry about losing their heads at any time! The dignitaries in the Han and Tang dynasties were really arrogant. Killing someone in the street was considered a minor crime, and extermination of a whole family was probably done even less! But will their consequences be tragic? I guess if you just ask for mercy casually, then you can lift it up high and put it down gently! So it's no wonder that Lu Xun said: Open a history book and it's full of cannibalism! It's really because whether it was the pre-Qin period or the subsequent feudal dynasties, ordinary people were either struggling to survive or unable to survive, wandering between the two! The only ones who care about their interests are the dignitaries and scholar-bureaucrats in the upper class!

It is acceptable not to raise pigs now, but in the long run, they will still be raised when resources are available. The number of cattle and sheep will not explode until large pastures can achieve scale effects, but raising pigs in confinement will be fine. Besides, pork in ancient times was not that lowly. It was true that the nobles didn't like it (they could eat better ones). It was good for the common people to have meat to eat, and they wouldn't care so much. If pigs are taken away from the evil and then imprisoned, the weight will increase. Besides, pigs eat a lot of miscellaneous food, and many people can feed it things that people don't eat. Then people can eat meat, buy some agricultural equipment, and replant land that could not be planted before. Isn't this equivalent to increasing food production? If chickens are kept free-range, they will gain weight slowly, but if they are kept in captivity, they will all die accidentally. There should be no veterinarians in the Western Han Dynasty. .

The early stage of this article focused on farming and required a large amount of price data from the Western Han Dynasty to support it. However, during the period of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, which was more than 2,000 years ago, detailed data is difficult to verify. The author checked a lot of information and found that there are great differences between various information. The final decision was to use the prices in Juyan Han Bamboo slips as the basis, with slight changes according to the needs of the plot. The following is the price of goods in Juyan and Han bamboo slips, with an approximate range: Tip: One pound in the Han Dynasty was about 250 grams, which is equivalent to 0.5 City pounds now. One stone is about 120 kilograms, which is about 60 kilograms or 30 kilograms today. Money price: One pound of gold (gold) is worth ten thousand dollars. Silver, two thousand to three thousand coins. Copper, sixty cents per pound. One thousand coins is one min. Grain price: Liang rice (sorghum) is about 180-200 yuan per stone Millet (yellow rice) is about 120-150 yuan per stone Corn (millet) is about 90-120 yuan per stone Shu (general name for beans) is about 60 to 90 yuan per stone > Wheat is about 30 to 60 qian per stone (in the early days of Emperor Wu, Sumai was not cultivated on a large scale, and wheat rice was the main food, so the price should be relatively low) Livestock and poultry prices: Horse prices: farm horses, carriage horses, about 10,000 qian each, ordinary war horses, more than 100,000 qian. Cattle price: about 2500~3500 yuan per head Sheep price: about 600~800 yuan per head Dog price: more than 600 yuan for hunting dogs, about 120~300 yuan for food dogs > Chicken price: about 30 to 36 yuan per catty Meat price: mutton is 8 to 10 yuan per catty, chicken is 6 to 8 yuan per catty, fish is about 3 to 5 yuan per catty, pork is about 2 to 4 yuan per catty, and fat (oil) is 5 to 6 yuan per catty. Cloth price: about 120 to 300 yen per piece of cloth (mostly linen, and linen has different thicknesses, so the price varies greatly) Silk: about 330 to 350 yen per piece. : About 450~550 yuan per piece. Plain: About 800~1,000 yuan per piece. Training: 1,000~1,500 yuan per horse. Car price: Each bullock cart costs about 2,000 yuan. A (yao) car (a light carriage) costs more than 10,000 yuan each. The price of wine: ranging from ten to dozens of dollars per bucket. Price of mats: 20 to 30 yen for ordinary straw mats, 20 to 30 yen for reed mats, 100 to 150 yen for exquisite cloth-lined mats (it was customary to sit on one's knees in the Han Dynasty, so the mats are very valuable). Salt price: 3 to 4 yen per catty. Price of land: 10,000 yuan per acre for good quality land. Price of iron: One pound of ordinary iron costs about ten yuan. According to the needs of the plot, we will continue to add... If you have different opinions or more detailed prices, please come to add...

Is the author planning to take the field of farming and invention as the title suggests, or is he planning to take another route of invention as a preliminary step? As others have said, it is not easy to mess around at this time. In fact, in ancient times, the best way to save your life was to do more things that benefit the people. People have a reputation as a virtuous person. As long as the crime is not serious, you are more likely to pack up and leave than to be killed. What's more, we have lived in ancient times. The living conditions of that era were really nothing to be ashamed of. You can become a rich country and ask for hardships. You can dedicate all your inventions to the royal family, and the other party will give you some shares, or keep a few for yourself. No matter how much you make, it is not as good as if you don't do anything and live with the country after you donate. Moreover, the invention suggests that the author should consider the times. For example, in the latest chapter of chicken raising and feathering, problems such as large-scale chicken breeding and plague were basically impossible in ancient times. What's more, it is still a bitter cold area in the north. You must not stop the floor heating, otherwise you will freeze to death in one night. Instead of thinking about this, it is better to get Lei Feng hats, masks, gloves, clothes with modern close-fitting styles, a fire pit for the patrols to rest midway, a sled to transport supplies, and a igloo built on the way to patrol far away, which can at least increase it by dozens of percentage points immediately. Those marching leggings, injured care and alcohol disinfection, drinking boiled water, long-distance marching's acclimatization and plague prevention, etc. Can all be provided In addition to the common plows for planting wheat, what is the arrangement of wheat-cutting artifacts, that kind of hand-operated fan for screening millet? Even if you forget what it's called, you can still arrange it. What about silage, briquettes, drinking boiled water for all, eradicating rats, mosquitoes and snails, and all kinds of simple plague prevention and control arrangements, I don't believe anyone dares to kill the protagonist.

I read a few chapters and then looked at the table of contents. Dong Zhongshu appeared in the latest chapter. There is nothing interesting about this book. After all, at first glance, you can tell that it is a licking dog for rubbish Confucianism. The pattern of the book is already fixed. What do you read about historical texts? Imagine new ways of change, not to mention the kings of the Warring States Period. Lord, Qin Shihuang and the previous emperors of the Han Dynasty all discriminated against Confucianism. Even modern people still despise Confucianism. If you write clearly that the core of Confucian unification thought in the Han Dynasty will exterminate the inheritance of other orthodox traditions, you have already established your position. You are the enemy of mankind, and you are still treating it like a licking dog.

At this time, the princes and kings were cautious after several rebellions. How could they dare to act recklessly? With cruel officials watching, any problem would be magnified!!

If you make tofu, you are courting death. One theory is that tofu was invented by Liu An, the king of Huainan, who lived from 177 to 122 BC. According to what you said earlier, the war between Wei Qing in Chuyunzhong and Li Xichudai County took place in 127 BC. The cause of Huainan King Liu An's death was the rebellion in 124 BC. You make tofu invented by Huainan King Liu An. You are from Yinxinfeng County, Jingzhao, which is equivalent to today's Xi'an. Liu An is from Huainan, which is equivalent to being in Anhui. How can there be intersections so far away? It is easy to be thought that your family is Liu An's in Jingzhao. Yin's internal reason is that he wants to be falsely accused of being related to the rebels. Even if you invented it yourself, first of all, as a poor peasant in ancient times, you cannot collect the brine and gypsum needed to order tofu, and this knowledge is not within your reach. How do you explain it? Even if you are from other sources. The tofu you see in other places should be spread in the homes of high-ranking officials. It is impossible for you to come into contact with it. The name is Zhongtian. It is not honest at all. It is understandable and acceptable for you to improve the farming technology. After all, you are a farmer. You can be smarter than others. Think for yourself. What you found after observation

I don't understand your idea of ​​writing a book at all. Humans and ghosts all think that it is wonderful that everyone is equal in modern times. Then when you travel to the past, you have to be shocked to remember that everyone is not equal. If modern times are really so equal, why are you still writing about young people playing adult games with young models in their arms?

In the early stage, it was very speechless. He was a low-level person who climbed up with zero foundation, but his method was doing business, which was related to food and cooking. In ancient times, both chefs and businessmen were at the lowest level, vassals of the powerful. If you add two buffs together, is it because your status is not low enough? You want to say that the whole Ponzi scheme of tying the powerful to your profit chariot is still acceptable. In ancient times, it was impossible to develop without relying on the powerful, especially in the initial stage. In the initial stage, it is not about making money, but earning fame, even a name that can be worshiped by the powerful. As a modern person, there are actually many things that modern people can do, such as inventing paper, inventing musical instruments, collecting beautiful music for future generations, and publishing books.
