As the autumn harvest was completed, the people of the Tang Dynasty were filled with joy.
At this point, after two years of famine, ordinary people can finally store some grain in the grain tanks in their homes.
The world is a scene of joy.
…
The rising sun is rising in the east, and the golden sunlight shines down, dispelling the slightest chill in the autumn morning.
Lijiazhuang is located at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain and beside the Jinghe River.
There are only about twenty households in the entire village. In this area, it is considered an ordinary small village that is inconspicuous.
Of course, this is the view of the people of Lijiazhuang themselves.
In the eyes of outsiders, Lijiazhuang is a small mountain village that is backward, poor and barbaric. The villagers are a group of rough guys who can only use their fists and are extremely barbaric.
Therefore, unless there is something important, no one wants to come to Lijiazhuang.
And the people in Lijiazhuang are also happy and leisurely. People outside are very cunning. If you are not careful, you can easily be deceived and suffer big losses.
In the very center of Lijiazhuang, there is a square about an acre in size. The surface of the square is made of smooth porcelain rolled by stone. It is the drying ground for the people of Lijiazhuang during their autumn harvest.
However, at this time, a large house was newly built in the middle of the drying field.
In the early morning, the house was neatly filled with more than a dozen children, ranging from five to teenagers.
At this moment, every child holds a book in his hand.
Although it is a book, the workmanship is extremely rough, many pages are uneven, and even the binding is made of fine twine.
The handwriting on it was also twisted, and it looked like it was copied by hand. However, every child lowered his head, read aloud in a serious manner, and concentrated on it.
"It is not a ritual to receive a man and an ox and give him a horse. If you go back and forth but do not come back, it is not a proper etiquette."
"Knowing how to repay kindness, being courteous and refined, and not being able to repay kindness is not what it means to be a grown-up person."
"Be loyal to the king and respect your father. Ask for etiquette and learn from others, but don't ask for instructions."
"Sacrifice your father to serve as a teacher, and respect your father. Be careful with your words and take care of your appearance."
"Be kind and be filial. Don't be greedy for evil. Don't be deceitful. Be honest."
…
"The way to teach your children is to always be careful, never speak out loud, and never make mistakes in actions."
"Don't cross the fence, don't know anything about him, don't laugh at him when he's poor, don't bully him when he's sick."
"Don't take his wealth, don't invade his lust, don't touch him who's strong, don't bully him who's weak."
…………
Lang Lang's child's voice echoed out of the house and surrounded the entire Lijiazhuang.
When everyone passing by Lijiazhuang heard these sounds, they couldn't help but turn their heads and look at the village school in the center of the drying yard, with faces full of joy.
Immediately, deep in his eyes, his face was full of pride.
They, the children of rural villagers, can one day sit in schools and learn literature like the children of rich businessmen and nobles in the city.
"Brother Dazhu, the young master must be a child of a big family, otherwise he wouldn't have such a great education!"
"That's natural. You may not know that my boy has learned a thousand words in the past few months...a thousand words. Even Shi Xiucai from Shijing Village, with a population of hundreds of households, may not be able to
Knows so many words!”
"Yes, I have also seen Shi Xiucai, and he definitely doesn't know so many words!"
"Do you think that if this continues, these boys in our village will all become scholars when they grow up, and be able to take charge of villages and towns, or even become officials?"
"Shitou, what are you thinking about? Anyone can be an official, but you have to have a university degree!"
"You are just blind. I heard that the magistrate of Lantian County next door has no university knowledge! Otherwise, why did the magistrate of Lantian County come to our Lijiazhuang this year to find a young master and learn from it?
How to farm?”
"Huh? It's true that the Lantian County Magistrate has no majesty as an official at all. He led so many people around the young master's four acres of land, but he watched it for several days!"
"This proves that the Lantian County Magistrate is a good official. Haven't you noticed that since the young master came to our Lijiazhuang, according to the farming knowledge taught by the young master, the yield of all of our fields has at least doubled!
In the past, our fields could produce up to two dan of grain per acre, but this year it has reached four dan per acre!"
"Hey, brother Zhuzi, although we are stupid, we are still sensible about such a big matter. The young master must be a very capable person!"
…
Half a moment.
"Brother Zhuzi, maybe these boys in our village, under the guidance of my little master, can really get out of Lijiazhuang and become capable people!"
"Everyone knows what young masters are capable of. As for what will happen to those boys in our family in the future, it depends on their fate. How can we, country folk who cannot read a single word, have the right to predict their future?"
The man from Dazhu said.
However, when he mentioned the young master, Dazhu could not help but feel a trace of worry in his eyes.
He naturally knows what the young master is capable of.
That is truly a great talent!
However, the origin of the young master is something that worries them.
Maybe it's related to the incident two years ago.
However, for the sake of these boys in our family, even if the young master is really involved in that matter, Lijiazhuang will try to protect the young master!
What's more, the young master has also been in Lijiazhuang for two years. For this long time, he has always lived in seclusion. He has a kind heart and is by no means a bad person.
"Okay, it's getting late. Let's go up the mountain first. What's the use of saying this every day?"
On the side, Li Tiechui, who had long been tired of hearing this, was speechless.
"Hey, let's go into the mountains!"
"At this time, the wild beasts in the mountains are all fat and thick. If you beat them more, you can replenish the bodies of the children this year!"
"If you are lucky, you can carry back a blind bear and give it to the young master. This is the best thing for the young master..."
"Hey, Shitou, I didn't realize it. Your kid has learned how to give gifts. Do you want me to take care of your kid more?"
"Haha, who of you doesn't want to?"
"But, young master, do you need me to give you some wild animals?"
"Forehead!"
…
As he said that, a group of sturdy men laughed heartily and headed up the mountain.
This year, the family has enough food. As long as there is no war next year, we will definitely not be hungry. Now, my son is still learning to read with his master, and goes up the mountain to hunt some game. In winter, there is no need to worry about food and drink. This is a beautiful thing that I can't even dream of.
Well.
Thinking about it, all the men in Lijiazhuang are full of strength.
…
Time passed slowly, and the sun soon reached the top of the sky!
In Lijiazhuang, there is a newly built small courtyard in the east, with exquisite and elegant decoration. In the east of the courtyard, there is a young pear tree planted under it. At this moment, Li Xuan, the young master known to everyone, is lying down with a comfortable look on his face.
On a deck chair under the pear tree.
Li Xuan, who was dressed in original linen clothes, was holding a simple white porcelain tea cup, taking a sip from time to time, with a look of enjoyment on his face.
"Huh~"
"Comfortable……"
Next to it, there is a small round table, and on the small round table, there is a teapot that is steaming white.
Further east, there is a small round-mouthed well built with bluestone blocks and half a man's height, with a log manhole cover on top.
The slightly hot sun shines on the body, making it warm and very comfortable.
Although it had just arrived at noon, Li Xuan's work in Lijiazhuang was basically completed.
The remaining time can be arranged freely.
You can go down to the fields to farm, or you can go up into the mountains to hunt.
Or, travel around the mountains and rivers, go into the mountains to collect medicine, or fish in the river to catch turtles!
The only pity is that some of the seasonings for cooking are not available because there are no raw materials.
Otherwise, pure natural wild thousand-year-old turtle soup, roasted wild boar, beggar's chicken, Yellow River carp...
"呲流~"
Thinking about it, Li Xuan felt saliva filling his mouth, and he could hardly suppress it.
After finishing the hot tea in his hand, he stood up and walked out.
After coming to Datang for two years, the most intolerable thing for Li Xuan was the lack of chili peppers for cooking and the lack of vegetables to eat in winter.
Therefore, after the autumn harvest, Li Xuan directly circled half an acre of land in his own field and built a greenhouse! He wanted to try to see if he could grow a vegetable greenhouse in the winter and be self-reliant!
A familiar road.
Walking into Tianzhong, Li Xuan directly pushed open a wooden door, and the light in front of him dimmed.
After his vision adjusted, a flat piece of land appeared in front of him, which had obviously just been cultivated.
In the middle, neat rows of field ridges are sorted out.
The soil above is still a little moist.
Apparently, it had been watered not long ago.
This piece of land, which is about half an acre, took Li Xuan half a month of hard work to cultivate and build.
Every day, Li Xuan would check it regularly.
When winter comes, all farm work in the mountain village basically comes to a halt. Except for hunting in the mountains, it is completely free. And this half-acre of field is Li Xuan's experimental subject this winter!
Greenhouse, if you can plant it, your life will be complete!
