Chapter 3 Datang Weather

"You go carry the bucket, I'll borrow the car." Chen Wang said, and was about to leave the house.

The Tang Dynasty was based on agriculture and attached great importance to agricultural production. After the Zhenguan rule, the Tang Dynasty was strong and the people were rich. It was very common for farmers to have cattle. At that time, owning a cow was similar to that we now own a tractor, which was a symbol of wealth. Chen Laoshi could not afford it. Every time he used a cow, he had to borrow it from others.

Chen Houshi hesitated a little: "Where do you go to borrow? If you borrow, you have to pay back the work. Just a little road, you can carry it even if you carry it. What kind of car does it take?"

Anyone with rural life experience knows that in rural areas, people who do not have cattle and households with cattle, they "change jobs" to cultivate the land instead of using people to pull the plow. There is no way to use people to pull the plow when ox is scarce. In the case of plowing ox, people to pull the plow when ox is common. More often than not, people to pull the plow when ox is common.

The country people are simple and need help, and they will not come. If they really reach the point of using people to plow the land, it only means that they are too failed in life, and no one is willing to deal with you. Chen is honest and poor, but he will not fail in life. He will be silly and the villagers are willing to "change jobs" with him.

The so-called change of work means that Zhang San gives Chen Zhongshi three days of farming, so Chen Zhongshi has to do Zhang San three days of woodwork. This is Zhang San's intention, and he is not considered a "cow worker".

There are artificial humans, and cows have cow workers. As for how much a cow workers count, it depends on the owner's attitude. There is a cow that can be artificial and a half-manual algorithm. When encountering a good family, it is not considered a cow, but it is considered a human labor.

Chen Wanrong was born in another world and knew very well about rural affairs. Chen Wanrong himself was a poor person with ambition. Chen Laoshi's unwilling attitude of not wanting others was in line with his wishes: "Mom, don't need to borrow it, I just recite it." Chen Wanrong's family was also not good before. Since he was eight years old, he has been working for his parents. It's no problem to memorize something, but he just acted as a sports exercise.

The drunkard's intention is not about wine, which can best illustrate Chen Wanrong's purpose. If this extremely poor family wants to live a good life, it is impossible to achieve with Chen's honest woodworking skills. It still has to rely on his own efforts. His own expertise is chemical engineering. I will take advantage of the opportunity to send a bucket to go out and have a chance to go out. I may find an opportunity.

Opportunities are not waiting for others, so I should look for them. This is what aspiring young man should do!

Chen Wangshi looked at Chen Wanrong lovingly, and was very worried: "Wanrong, you are the best. Isn't this a pain for you?"

"Mom, I haven't recited it before." Chen Wanrong was very moved by her care and was very passionate. Not to mention memorizing something, he didn't care about anything hard or tiring.

Chen Wangshi was still a little worried and told him: "Wanrong, then you have to be careful. If you can't recite it, just recite it less."

Chen Wanrong responded and walked to the house on the left. The house was very messy, and the wooden blocks were cut all over the house. There were two wooden barrels on the ground, which were half a person tall together, and the wooden boards were one inch thick, very strong, almost a hundred kilograms.

Chen Wanrong grabbed the brown rope on the wooden barrel and lifted it up, and worked with Chen Laoshi to carry the wooden barrel out of the house.

Put the wooden barrel horizontally, tie it with a straw rope, and put it on the back horizontally. The back is round, and the back will sway left and right when standing, which is very uncomfortable. The experience accumulated by years of rural life has once again played a role.

Chen Zhen urged him: "Go early and come back early. I'm going to plant it soon. There's more work at home than the ground. Don't wander around!"

The parents are very stylish, so Chen Wanrong would not care about him. In order to make him happy, he agreed according to his words: "I know, dad."

"I spent the money on the bucket and bought two kilograms of meat. Zairong is going to come back today and replenish him well. The money must be saved and you are not allowed to be spent randomly. Zairong's tuition is expected to be paid for this amount of money." Chen honestly explained the matter.

Which father doesn’t care about his son? What’s more, he is a smart son who is studying in the county school. When Chen Laoshi thought of his baby son coming back, his face turned red.

Education in the Tang Dynasty was divided into two types: official school and private school. Private school is the private school we are familiar with, and the private school opened by those who failed the exams many times.

Of course, the official school was a school opened by the court. After Emperor Taizong of Tang ascended the throne, he expanded the Chinese studies and opened county schools to recruit smart and good-looking children. At that time, the county schools were similar to our current key middle schools. It was a very honorable thing to be admitted to the key middle schools in the era of "universal education", not to mention that the Tang Dynasty, which was highly respected by scholars, was protected by the blessings of ancestors. It was a major event for the family to be glorious. Chen Laoshi often proud of this.

The Tang Dynasty implemented a ten-day vacation system. Chen Zairong studied at Ningxian Academy. Because he was far away from home, Chen Laoshi rented a house in the county and sent it to Chen Zairong to study. Tomorrow is the day of rest, which is similar to our current "Zhouwei Escape". Chen Zairong can go home to eat and drink today.

While eating in the same pot, what Mrs. Chen said was much warmer: "Wanrong, it's very cold. Skip to visit for a while, don't get frozen."

Chen Wanrong responded and shook his shoulders. He felt that the amount of 100-pound pounds was not heavy, so he took a step forward.

The experience of carrying things has not been through for many years. Chen Wanrong seemed to have returned to the past when he carried things with his parents and climbed down the hills. He felt warm in his heart and didn't feel any burden at all. The wind was coming from his feet, as if he was walking on a hot wheel, walking extremely lightly. After a while, the boss had a journey.

Chen Zhenshi said to Chen Wangshi: "I still see? I'm not going out for a long time." He went back to the house, and another bang sound came from the house.

"Can't you see? You know how to urge me." Chen Wang ignored him and stood under the eaves and looked at Chen Wanrong.

After a long journey, Chen Wanrong looked back and saw that Chen Wang was still standing under the eaves and looking at him. His heart felt warm. In the past, every time he left home, his parents would look at him until no one was seen. He waved to Chen Wang, and Chen Wang waved to Chen Wanrong, and the voice of "come back early" came from afar.

Hearing this voice, Chen Wanrong felt extremely kind, his nose was sore, and he waved his hand and said, "I know, mom!"

February is the time to prepare for spring plowing. Although the weather is particularly cold today, there are still many farmers in the fields busy, turning over the ground, cleaning up grassroots, and busy.

I went to the official road at about a meal. The official road was based on soil and was covered with stones. The road surface was flat and it was very comfortable to walk on it. The smooth stones hit the feet, as if they were making the "soles of the feet", which was more comfortable than walking on a cement road.

People and cars came and went on the official road, flowing endlessly, rushing towards Chang'an. Its busyness was similar to that of the expressways in modern society. After Emperor Taizong of Tang ascended the throne, he worked hard to govern the country, and the national strength of the Tang Dynasty was unprecedentedly strong. This was the famous "Zhenguan Governance". As the capital of the empire, Chang'an was the political, economic and cultural center of the Tang Dynasty, and was extremely prosperous.

Chang'an was the first city in human history to reach a population of one million. The Tang Dynasty was even more than the golden age of Chang'an. Six Constellations Danteburg were larger, more than six times larger than Baghdad, the capital of the Arab Empire. It was not only the most prosperous city in China at that time, but also the most prosperous city in the world at that time, because China supported the entire world at that time. According to historians, the Tang Dynasty's GDP accounted for 58% of the world at that time.

Correspondingly, Chang'an consumes amazingly, and daily necessities such as grain, meat, and vegetables have to be purchased from towns near Chang'an, so that the official road can be so lively.

The Tang Dynasty is one of the most powerful dynasties in Chinese history. After a thousand years of prosperity, we still talk about it. Chen Wanrong was in the Tang Dynasty and had long felt that the Tang Dynasty was different. The lively atmosphere on the official road was just the tip of the iceberg. But Chen Wanrong had a different feeling. The Tang Dynasty inspired him deeply. He raised his chest and raised his head without realizing it. His spirit was different!

After almost half an hour, I arrived at my destination, Luojiadian.

Luojiadian is a small town. Because it is adjacent to Chang'an, it provides countless supplies to Chang'an every year, so it is very prosperous. People come and go, shops are everywhere, and there are endless shouts of shouting and shouting. Chen Wanrong thought he had returned to the Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street.

Chen Wanrong looked at it carefully and saw that the brick and tile houses were one after another, and there was no sight at all. There might be two corridor-style courtyards, with bright and dazzling red courtyard walls.

The buildings in the Tang Dynasty were grand in scale, majestic in spirit, high-end style, neat and changeable in style, gorgeous but not delicate. Although Luojiadian was a small place, it still had the architectural characteristics of the Tang Dynasty.

These buildings must be considered masterpieces in the history of architecture. They are full of ancient style and charm but also grand. Chen Wanrong admires the wisdom of our ancestors in his heart.

A fragrance wafted, Chen Wanrong's nose kept twitching, and an impure Chinese sounded: "Let's soak the mutton cake!"

Looking into the sound, I saw that there was a very lively place in front of a red-walled brick house. Many people were in and out, and people who came out kept wiping their mouths, feeling very satisfied. A Hu man with a high nose, blue eyes, and curled hair was standing by the stove and kneading the dough. There was a row of middle books on the stove, and the thick edges of Hu cakes were emitting an attractive fragrance.

There is a plaque hanging above the house, with the three Chinese characters "Hu Renguan" written on it. The characters are not well written, similar to those crawling by earthworms. There are also some strange symbols, which Chen Wanrong thought to himself that it should be Hu Ren's words.

There were also a few Hu people in the store who greeted the diners enthusiastically, and occasionally patted the diners on their shoulders and said a few jokes, which made the diners laugh. There was no racial barrier between Hu and Han, and they were as intimate as brothers.

During the Zhenguan period of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, he used large-scale foreign troops to defeat the Turks, Tubo, Tuyuhun, Gaochang, Yanqi, Xueyantuo, Goguryeo, and Kucha, and even defeated India, which was called the poisonous man at that time. In foreign wars, victorious news spread frequently and triumphant songs continued, forcing these countries to submit to the surrender. The reputation of Tian Khan spread thousands of miles away from foreign lands.

Therefore, Chang'an has become an international metropolis. Foreign envoys, powerful children, international students, and overseas monks living in Chang'an come from more than 300 places in Asia. How many of these people are there? According to historians, there are at least 30,000 people.

This is the most conservative statistics, not including those Hu people who made a living in Chang'an. As the center of the world at that time, Chang'an was the center of the empire, like magnets attracting iron blocks, attracting countless Hu people to the Tang Dynasty and Chang'an to make a living.

At that time, there were many Hu people who made a living in the Tang Dynasty, such as juggling, singing, dancing, laughing, opening shops and doing business, and making money. There were countless people who sold goods and made money. They were all over the world. Under the care of Emperor Taizong of Tang's "Yihan Family" policy, Hu people not only did business in the Tang Dynasty, but also intermarried with Tang people, and finally became sinicized. Luojiadian was only a few dozen miles away from Chang'an, and Hu people were not surprised at all when doing business here.

After patting his forehead, Chen Wanrong was deeply inspired and thought happily: "The Hu people lived happily and contentedly in the Tang Dynasty. I, a chemistry expert, should have a great future in chemical engineering in the Tang Dynasty, at least not worse than these Hu people!"

(Note: There was something happened in my hometown village. A villager died when his father passed away when he was very young and his mother remarried. He could only live with his sister. However, his brother-in-law was disrespectful to him. He lived alone from the age of thirteen or fourteen until he started a family. Therefore, he developed a strong personality and was unwilling to ask for help. His family was poor and had no oxen to plow the land. His husband decided to pull the plow, his wife helped the plow, and he used people to plow. Before he could plow it, he discovered it first for the village cadres in the neighboring village. He stood on the mountain bag and scolded him, "XX, you are a dog, you don't have a oxen to say something.

, The ox is empty, just plow it for you. This is not the old society, you are losing face of GCD." My hometown is a mountain village. Village cadres stand on the mountain bag and curse people. They can hear it on the mountains. When the people in the village know, they scold him for being dirty. Finally, the village arranged a few cows to plow the land for him. The township government knew about this, and the village cadres "communicated" with him. Every spring and winter season, the village cadres had to go to the village to arrange ox until he saved money and bought a ox. This matter was over.)
