Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, green willows scatter, ice and snow melt, and farmers can be seen everywhere on the vast fields. The so-called: the yang energy of the beginning of spring turns, rain flows along the river; the crows in the Waking of Insects call, and the land on the vernal equinox drys. After Qingming Festival, it is the season for planting.

Unlike the foot of the mountain, there are only two farmers, Wu and his wife, on the nameless mountain where Xianyunguan is located. They also have fields at the foot of the mountain, and they are all distributed by the court, including 20 acres of Yongye fields and 80 acres of koudi land. Among them, Yongye fields can be passed down to descendants. The government will take them back after the death of a person; and on the mountain, they also mined several acres of terraced fields.

Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng also had land. In the early Tang Dynasty, Taoist priests and monks could give 30 acres of land, but the land of the two was no longer Chang'an, and they were handed over to their relatives in their hometown to manage or plant on behalf of others.

In contrast, Zhang Xuanqing, a foreign household, has nowhere to be known. He can't even explain his hometown. He is a real black household. Therefore, if he wants to farm, he can only go to rent it with the Wu couple.

"Aunt Wu, can you discuss something with you?" In the past few days, Old Man Wu has been stationed at the foot of the mountain. Aunt Wu also ran to the mountain every few days. Sometimes even the meal was cooked by Zhang Xuanqing and others. Zhang Xuanqing could only discuss it when Aunt Wu was on the mountain.

Aunt Wu is an old woman in her forties. She smiled silly and said, "Master Zhang, you have something to do. Tell me, the old woman will do it."

Zhang Xuanqing said with a shy face: "So since you say that, I'm not polite. That's right, I want to borrow a few acres of land from you and your husband, and not use the fertile land at the foot of the mountain, but you can mine it on the mountain, or give it a few acres of thin land."

"What? Borrowing the fields?" Aunt Wu widened her eyes. The fields are the roots of farmers. That means you can borrow them by borrowing them: "Master Zhang, what do you want to plant? You said, we can help plant them. But you want to borrow fields...Master Zhang, you have to ask us the head of the family, I can't be this master."

As he was talking, Yuan Tiangang walked in from outside: "Brother Dao wants to farm?"

Zhang Xuanqing nodded: "I'm going to know that brother Dao, there are some strange things in my Central Plains. They are things on another continent. I think privately that I'm idle now, and I plan to try planting one or two."

"A strange thing?"

"Another continent?"

Aunt Wu and Yuan Tiangang spoke at the same time, and then Aunt Wu smiled embarrassedly: "What is there any strange thing?" Yuan Tiangang shut up.

Zhang Xuanqing thought about it and counted on his fingers: "There are so many strange things, such as sweet potatoes, peppers, potatoes, peanuts, corn, tomatoes, peppers, watermelons, carrots, sunflowers, pumpkins, Chameng rice, cotton, mung beans, etc... Well, there are quite a lot of them."

"Oh, I know that pepper, it's not that Zhang... Zhang..."

"Zhang Qian."

"Yes, yes, yes, Taoist Master Yuan is well-informed. It was brought back by Lord Zhang Qian and Lord Zhang. Speaking of which, it is a family with Taoist Master Zhang." Aunt Wu said.

Zhang Xuanqing was a little embarrassed: "Is that so? Already there? Are there any other ones?"

"The other...that old woman has never heard of it. Has Master Yuan heard it?" Aunt Wu looked at Yuan Tiangang.

Yuan Tiangang stroked his beard and shook his head: "I haven't heard of it before. Are these plants... eaten?"

"That's right!" Zhang Xuanqing clapped his hands, then said with a bewitching look on his face: "Aunt Wu, why don't you think this way, you lend me the land and you will all the things I planted. If you can't plant them, I will accompany you to harvest for a year. Is this good?"

"This is not possible, this is not possible, how can you ask for the Taoist priest's money?" Aunt Wu waved her hand quickly.

Yuan Tiangang suggested: "It is better to do this, according to my opinion. Wu's wife, go back and discuss with Old Man Wu to see if you can lend the land to Brother Zhang. Brother Zhang will consider it again. If you really want to farm, then go down the mountain to ask Old Man Wu."

"It's good." Zhang Xuanqing thought about it and realized that he was too abrupt, so he sighed.

Aunt Wu struggled, and for a while, gritted her teeth and stamped her feet: "I'll go find my door!" She rushed down the mountain.

After Aunt Wu left, Yuan Tiangang couldn't help but ask again: "Brother Dao, why did you think of farming?"

"It's boring, it's idle too..." Zhang Xuanqing said boredly.

Since Liu Jiannan left, his time for martial arts has begun to decrease. One is because there is no one to accompany him, and the other is that he cannot learn new things and cannot get excited. Every day, he either plays chess with Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, or practices calligraphy and calligraphy. If he doesn't play the piano, there is really nothing else to do.

Later, when spring returned to the earth, grass grew and bearded, he wanted to improve the grain output in ancient times and the quality of life of ancient people. So with such lofty ideals... Well, I can't make it up anymore. He actually wanted to see if my elder ancestors could have made several more ways to eat them.

Yuan Tiangang misunderstood Zhang Xuanqing's thoughts: Bored to farm? I want to truly live in seclusion in the mountains and fields. But there is still a little bit of a problem: "What is the other continent that Brother Dao refers to?"

"Oh, this, come on, let me tell you..." Zhang Xuanqing thought that he was idle and was idle, so he simply popularized geography knowledge for Yuan Tiangang. What is the earth in the world, seven continents and four oceans, no matter whether Yuan Tiangang believes it or not, he is responsible for nonsense... Cough cough, he is responsible for popular science. Whether Yuan Tiangang believes it or not is Yuan Tiangang's business.

Fortunately, there was a saying in ancient times that "the sky is like a chicken, and the earth is like a yellow in a chicken". Yuan Tiangang accepted the "geographic knowledge" mentioned by Zhang Xuanqing without any effort. In addition, Zhang Xuanqing's behavior is often weird, and his identity as a "exiled immortal" and a "hidden expert" became more and more consistent. Yuan Tiangang actually believed...believe...believe!

A day spent in Zhang Xuanqing was bragging. In order to explain how he knew the theory that the earth was round and how he knew about the seven continents and four oceans, Zhang Xuanqing gilded his face without hesitation, saying that he had seen it with his own eyes when he was traveling around the world. He didn't care about the fact that he had never left the country at all. Let's talk about black people, white people, blue eyes and blond hair, and from time to time he learned a few words of English that he seemed to be on TV. Tsk tsk, he fooled Yuan Tiangang on the spot and couldn't find him.

In the evening, when the sun sets, the Wu couple came back together. After a day of discussion, they had already made up their minds, so they found Zhang Xuanqing as soon as they came back, saying that they could give him all the land behind Xianyun Temple and not rent it. They just need to give them some seeds next year if all the geographical crops really grow.

This is the wisdom of farmers and the wisdom of small people. Of course, Zhang Xuanqing had no problem, and decided that the conditions he said before remain unchanged. If he could not plant it, he would compensate him for how much grain he could produce per acre of land. If it was planted, the fruits he had produced could be given to the Wu couple, and he only needed part of it to eat it himself.

That night, Zhang Xuanqing returned to modern time and space.

...

"Stinking beggars, get up, no sleep here."

"Wake up, wake up, go to sleep outside when you sleep. This is the place to sell seeds."

"You said, "Where are you, get out of here quickly and don't disturb me in business."

"Hey, you beggar don't go out to beg for food, so why do you nap around us where you sell farm tools by holding an iron rack?"

“…”

Beizhi County, each seed shop and hardware and farm tools store, welcomed a "guest" today.

He was ragged and unkempt, and when people were not paying attention, he fell asleep when he entered the door.

Moreover, the place where you sleep is extremely particular, with blocking in front, back, left and right, making it easy for you to not find it.

By the time you find out, he has basically had a sleep. If you drive him away, he will leave without saying a word, leaving people with nowhere to vent their anger.

It was cold and the water turned into ice. There were more than twenty days left before the Spring Festival.

Because of the TV rendering, people already have the atmosphere of the New Year in their hearts, so everyone just sent the beggar away and did not pursue the matter too much.

But after visiting several seed shops, the beggar made up his mind to the clothing store and went around the clothing store. This time it was very fucking.

Originally, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and everyone wants to buy a new outfit. But the clothing store is clean and the dealers are all consumer customers. The beggar is dirty all over. Isn’t this disturbing people’s business?

Therefore, the beggar visited several clothing stores in a row, but he didn't find a chance to sleep. Even when he was sleeping outside the store, someone came to drive him away without waiting for him to fall asleep. In the end, he could only sigh helplessly.

But he was not without the kind-hearted. Seeing him feeling pitiful, he either gave him two old clothes or one or two red tickets - this was something that few people would do in the past. It seemed that during the festival, people began to become kinder than before.

It is not in vain for beggars to collect money. They always remind people who give them money to pay. What should be paid attention to during the holidays? Some people will remind them not to take a car, some people will remind them to stay away from firecrackers, and some people will remind them not to provoke women during the New Year. In short, they are talking nonsense, as if I am good for you. As for whether others believe it or not, it is unknown.

Later, the beggar saved enough money, bought two new clothes, and went to the bathhouse to take a bath. Unfortunately, his body was too dirty and the bathhouse was unwilling to do his business. Even when he was sleeping at the door of the bathhouse, no one paid attention to him.

Helplessly, the beggar had to carry his clothes to Lianhua Township. There is a Lotus River in Lianhua Township. Every summer, the Hanoi is full of lotus flowers. It is really "the lotus leaves are endless and green, and the lotus flowers are red in the sun." But in winter, the frozen river surface is about three inches thick, and it is not easy to smash through, so it is naturally not suitable for bathing.

However, the beggar bought towels, bath towels, soap, shampoo and other toiletries. He ran to the center of the river and took his feet gently on the ice.

Click—

The ice surface was shattered, and then even shattered. It seemed as if an invisible dark force shook the ice into debris and melted into the river. I really don’t know how much strength the beggar contained under his kick.

Then, the beggar pulled the dirty clothes on his body and stabbed them into the hole he kicked out.
