Chapter II Scholar Status
The villagers were very enthusiastic. With the help of the village chief, all the men, women, old and young in the village came together and quickly built a straw shed for Qin Yu. Yes, it was a straw shed.
Qin Yu looked at the so-called residence dumbfounded, and forced a smile. Originally, Qin Yu needed to thank the villagers, but Qin Yu had nothing except a bag of seeds, a mobile phone wallet, a lighter, and half a box of Hongtashan.
Cannot be used as a gift.
In the end, it was nothing. Seeing the disappointed eyes of children of all sizes, Qin Yu was really confused, "I knew I would have brought some candies here, ugh."
Muramasa asked Qin Yu about his origin, and Qin Yu gave an ambiguous explanation. He didn't know where he came from. Now that he was the only one left, Muramasa didn't bother about this issue.
But when he reached his age, there was a stalemate for a long time. It wasn't until the village chief asked someone to get a basin of water that Qin Yu realized that he was ten years younger.
Not only his appearance, but also his body seemed to have changed. He felt like he had endless strength and vitality, and his voice also became a little childish.
"This can be regarded as compensation." Qin Yu secretly sighed, and finally apologized to Muramasa, saying that he didn't know his age and just said a random number.
Seeing Qin Yu's sincere attitude, Muramasa nodded with satisfaction and quickly issued the household registration document to Qin Yu, who signed and stamped it.
Although Qin Yu wrote in simplified Chinese characters, Muramasa recognized it even after a cup of tea. Then he called a middle-aged man to take Qin Yu to Yongnian County to report. Once the report was completed, Qin Yu would be considered official.
Become a citizen of the Tang Dynasty.
There are a total of thirty-two households in Zhangjia Village, with a population of 212. Originally there were 211 people, but now Qin Yu is added.
After years of recuperation and recuperation after the war, the villagers' life is still a bit difficult, and not a single fat person is seen.
There is a donkey cart in Zhangjia Village, which belongs to Cunzheng. The driver is Zhang Dashan, Cunzheng's nephew. Since Qin Yu has settled down, Zhang Dashan is very kind. No matter what the problem is, Zhang Dashan will explain it one by one.
After chatting all the way, Qin Yu realized that due to the war, many people of the Tang Dynasty were killed and injured. Li Shimin ordered that as long as all the people who escaped from the world came out, the government must provide help, so that the people who escaped from the world could integrate into the Tang Dynasty as soon as possible and become citizens of the Tang Dynasty.
.
The help from the government was at least five acres of farmland that had been tax-free for three years, and a cow. Zhang Dashan was very direct and asked Qin Yu to borrow the cow without any euphemism. Qin Yu would not refuse and readily agreed to Zhang Dashan's request. After all,
People have taken the initiative to cultivate the land in exchange.
Although Qin Yu was a small landowner before time travel, everything was mechanized and he took care of many people. He didn't have to do it himself. If Qin Yu was asked to plow the land, he really didn't know what would happen.
Cattle were an important commodity in the Tang Dynasty. Regardless of whether the cow was sick or dead, the owner would be punished, which shows that Li Shimin attached great importance to people's livelihood.
It’s not without reason that Zhang Dashan borrowed cattle. He actually has 30 acres of fertile land. Zhangjia Village has a total of 1,000 acres of fertile land, of which 100 acres are in the village center. Other families also have dozens of acres, but the whole village only has 5 acres of fertile land in total.
A plowing cow.
It is precisely because of this that Muramasa asked Qin Yu to settle in Zhangjiacun with half inducement and half threat. Of course, Zhang Dashan would not say it, but Qin Yu naturally understood the reason after comparing it before and after, and he would not say it out.
Speaking of Zhangjiacun, Zhang Dashan is very proud, and indeed, all the fields belong to Zhangjiacun, and they are cultivated for himself. There is no tenant farmer. In Yongnian County, Zhangjiacun is well-known as a good place, and the surrounding areas
Everyone in the village wants to marry their daughter into Zhangjia Village.
The county seat of Yongnian County is not too far from Zhangjia Village, but it took nearly two hours. The county seat is not big, but it is not small either. There are 532 households in it, with a population of 5,221. The county seat
Outside is a high city wall, protecting the county town inside.
Entering the county town, it was not as prosperous as Qin Yu imagined, but it was enough to make Qin Yu curious. As a modern person, Qin Yu had not seen many cities or ancient houses, so the road was like a
The curious baby looked left and right, causing a lot of ridicule.
Of course, while Qin Yu was watching, he was also being watched by others. As for those sarcastic smiles and mocking words, although Qin Yu was a little dissatisfied, he would not show it on his face. He would just respond with a smile, and he would also receive many kind words.
look.
When he arrived at the county government office, the county magistrate received Qin Yu cordially. After asking for a while, he was surprised at Qin Yu's conversation. After further questioning, he learned that Qin Yu had read books, mostly in ethnic studies. Because of this, Qin Yu
Yu earned himself the status of a scholar.
Obtaining the status of a scholar inevitably requires some examinations. Although Qin Yu graduated from science and engineering, fortunately he had an extremely strict great-grandfather. He told Qin Yu to read the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child. As long as he couldn't memorize it, he would be beaten.
It is precisely because of this that Qin Yu can still remember a lot of the Four Books and Five Classics even when he grows up.
Although it was of no use before, it has come in handy now. The Four Books and Five Classics were compiled in the Song Dynasty. Although my memory is incomplete, I can't deal with the county magistrate. It's just that when I think about my childhood, I can't help but feel a little sad.
Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce were the four classes of the Tang Dynasty. Don’t underestimate the status of scholars. With just a change of status, Zhang Dashan’s eyes suddenly turned around when he looked at Qin Yu. He became extremely respectful. Even the county magistrate
His attitude is also much friendlier.
Lu Ziyuan, the magistrate of Yongnian County, was about forty years old. He was a typical southerner with a southern accent. He seemed to be from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas. It was difficult for Qin Yu to ask questions.
With the stroke of a pen by the county magistrate, Qin Yu officially became a citizen of the Tang Dynasty and belonged to Zhangjia Village, Yongnian County. Because of his status as a scholar, twenty acres of fertile land and a cattle became Qin Yu's private property. The county magistrate took over the land with a smile on his face.
The deed was handed over to Qin Yu, and then a household registration document was issued to send Qin Yu out of the county government office.
Qin Yu naturally knew why the county magistrate laughed. It was naturally because he carried out the orders of Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty very well, which added weight to his promotion. After all, Li Shimin valued talents, and Qin Yu's family was profound. This was a
Not a small political achievement.
Ever since Qin Yu obtained the status of a scholar, Zhang Dashan had been running around to help Qin Yu get the cattle. Under the envious eyes of the county residents, he carefully helped Qin Yu onto the donkey cart and pulled the cattle to drive.
The donkey cart left the county town.
On the way back, Zhang Dashan was extremely excited and glanced at the cattle from time to time. However, Qin Yu was not interested in this and kept silently thinking along the way.
Zhang Dashan naturally did not dare to disturb Qin Yu, and secretly looked at Qin Yu from time to time. You must know that he and another person had threatened Qin Yu before, for fear that Qin Yu would settle a score with him, but looking at Qin Yu's expression, Zhang Dashan was
Gradually feel relieved.
What Qin Yu thought about was nothing special. It was just about his future life. The Tang Dynasty was established and Li Shimin came to power. Naturally, he didn't have to worry about war. How to live in the Tang Dynasty and how to live became the top priority.
"Huh, Datang, it's not bad to be a small landowner in the future." Qin Yu retracted his thoughts and sighed secretly, looking at Zhangjia Village getting closer and closer, he stretched his body for a long time.
