As the world changes, people's hearts advance and retreat, the working people of every era always shine with the most dazzling light of wisdom and bring their wisdom to the extreme.

It was the beginning of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and I don’t know what year it was.

The river in front of you is not wide and the water flows are not fast, but don’t be deceived by the calm river surface. This river called "Zhuhe" has a depth that swallows people's lives. It is hard to measure the depth with bamboo poles, so there are more ferries on both sides of the coast, building huts, and arranging boatmen to travel between the two sides to assist travelers crossing the river.

Yao Yun is a boatman, known as "Du Niang".

Originally, Yao Yun was not a mother at all, because before he traveled through time, he was a strong man with a height of eight feet tall and a waist of eight feet. Unfortunately, one day, Yao Yun followed the trend of time travel and suddenly traveled to his mother's womb and became a fertilized egg.

Then she developed into a baby girl, and then she was born into a glorious Western Zhou Dynasty. Her mother died of illness when she was one year old, and her father also died two years ago. Now Yao Yun is lonely and inherits her father's work and a very useful baron. She stands on the shore every day waiting for the traveler to appear.

Of course, she is no longer called Yao Yun in this life, but her surname is Yunyao. The surname has not changed. The Zhou Dynasty's men and women are named surnames. Yao is one of the eight ancient surnames. It can be said that all the nobles of the Central Plains have eight surnames. Since Yunyao can inherit his father's title, her father is naturally a noble. He is the surname Yao, Zhu, with the name Le, and Zi'an. Then he continues to trace it up to Yunyao's grandfather's generation. As a glorious Western Zhou Dynasty, he also inherited the title of the baron. It is very necessary to understand his family. After all, the title comes from the inheritance of blood. As a nobleman, it would be too rude to understand how his ancestors started.

However, the baron has nothing to do with Yunyao's grandfather. It was her father, Zhu Le, who saved the prince of Lu when she was young, so she obtained 15 miles from the north bank of the Zhuhe River and established a fief. From then on, Zhuhe was regarded as her clan.

The pheasants in the mountains crowed and rang on time every day like an alarm clock. Yun Yao got up in a daze, put on a linen and single clothes, stepped on straw sandals, took water from the water jug, and rinsed his mouth with crushed willow branches as a toothbrush. After the cool river water was left to stand overnight, it was clear, stimulating the mouth and making people feel more awake.

Then he patted his cheeks with his wet palms to clean the corners of his eyes. The shaking water surface reflected a white face that went against common sense. Although the water was not quiet, the beautiful face of the woman in the reflection made people feel the beauty of seeing Xi Shi washing shi. It is not only beauty, but also the temperament shows the strength and health of the working people. Her skin is naturally white and not tanned, not because she doesn't like to work.

It was chilly spring, and in the second month of the summer calendar, Yunyao began a new day as Du Niang.

First, I cleaned my house for a day, because it was not only her home, but also her workplace, and a ferry station.

After the Western Zhou Dynasty, there were ten miles and a cottage, and I had to prepare food. In other words, Yunyao was not only Du Niang, but also the owner of a hotel. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, there were many rules and basically no such thing as personal privacy. Everyone was just a screw under the Zhou emperor, and there were strict regulations on marriages and funerals. After Yun Niang was twenty years old, if she did not get married, someone would naturally punish her.

A man who doesn’t marry a woman who doesn’t marry a woman who doesn’t marry a woman who doesn’t marry a woman who doesn’t marry a woman who doesn’t marry a woman who doesn’t marry a woman who doesn’t marry a woman who doesn’t marry a woman who doesn’t marry a woman who doesn’t marry a woman who doesn’t marry a woman who doesn’t marry a woman who doesn’t marry a woman who doesn’t marry a woman who doesn’t marry a woman who doesn’t marry a woman who doesn’t marry a

Therefore, the work has to be done. If the inspection fails, the consequences will be very serious.

First check whether the thatch on the roof is neat. If it is not neat, you need to find a special person in charge to ask for thatch. In this era, everyone has their own position and advocates public first and then private. Even if you farm, you must first plant public fields and then private fields.

There are three rooms in the Lu, one is where Yunyao lives, one is facing west and east, one is facing north and south in the middle for distinguished guests, and one is facing east and west for slaves.

In an era when blood is respected and noble, people with status will not stay in the same room with people without status.

Take the reed broom you woven and clean it briefly. After all, there is no dust in the place you clean every day. After completing the simple cleaning, you will start cooking. Take out millet, that is, millet, from your private crock pot, and then take out wood from your private pyrene to prepare a fire to make rice.

Because it is a hut, a place to receive guests, and a state agency, the state will prepare millet and firewood, but these are specialized people to keep their accounts, and people will register at the end of each year, so the public and private sectors must be clearly distinguished.

Lu is just the lowest-level inn, providing guests with the simplest food, only millet, so other ingredients except millet are private by Yunyao. There is the aged bacon sent to her by her father, and the dried fish she caught. Naturally, the staple food is also millet, and there are no vegetables or fruits, both of which are too luxurious.

Some people may say that it is so underdeveloped that the wild fields are not full of wild vegetables? Unfortunately, the Zhou Dynasty was in the era of rapid development of agricultural civilization. There was no wild field in Yunyao, only an undeveloped mountain, but there was a mountain guarding it, which belonged to public property. Whoever dared to move would be a crime.

That's why the pheasants in the mountains call so happily. If they were in a homeless land, they would have long become a savage for the savages.

I cut some dried fish, which was bland and tasteless. Among all the ingredients in Yunyao, only the ancestral bacon was eaten only on major festivals. The boring diet structure was undoubtedly the greatest torture for fatty life in the past, and the landlords had no surplus food at home.

The fifteen miles seemed to be a lot. In fact, with the productivity these days, the baron Yunyao's fief can be kept running and he can barely maintain his title. Because the fifteen miles are not just his own. According to the Zhou Dynasty's well-field system, all lands are nominally owned by the Zhou emperor, and nobles at all levels are only managed on their behalf and have to pay taxes.

The baron's tax rate is three quarters. The well-field system divides the fields into tic-tac-tac-tac-tac-toe, which is nine pieces. In the middle is public land, which means taxes to the nobles. Now Yunyao has twenty public land in his hand, and the tax rate is three quarters. That is to say, the harvest of fifteen public land must be handed over to the king of Lu. If it is not paid, the title will be confiscated, and the remaining five public land grain belongs to Yunyao himself.

Someone may ask if there are eight pieces of private fields in a well field? What about the food on it? Of course, it is the farmer's farmer, that is, the savages. They can only cultivate land. If the eight pieces of private fields are eaten for a year, it is difficult for them to have other food sources, and they do heavy physical work. At the same time, basically, there are five or six people in the family. On average, one person only relies on more than one piece of private fields a year.

Yunyao didn't have to do anything and could get five pieces of public land for harvest. This is the difference between the nobles and the savages. Moreover, public land is basically high-quality, with more production, while private land is medium-sized and low-quality, with less production.

Just after traveling through time, Yun Yao also thought about doing a great career, but when he came, he realized that the environment of the Western Zhou Dynasty was really not something that ordinary people could do. The class was strict, and the savages were tied to the land all their lives. Moreover, Zhou Li's division of labor went deep into all aspects, and no one would listen to her nonsense.
