Chapter 85: A Little Widow

In the end, it has developed a thousand years of fertile soil, even in later generations, Henan is also a large grain-producing province, all kinds of cooked land, as well as the water canals dug by the landlord privately, it is still very simple to resume production, there is no need for any vegetable greenhouse, the Chinese have long mastered the technology of growing vegetables in the greenhouse.

The so-called eight-character proverbs of agriculture, soil and water, and secret keepers are simply true, and Li Xiangqian believes that when the roads are clear and the population is evacuated, the economic level and living standards here will be better.

That's the way to save the world.

Compared with the history of later generations being plundered in large quantities in the war, this era is properly protected, Li Xiangqian looked everywhere, confirmed that it was correct, and greeted many people, so he went to his own business.

Li Xiangqian, who was already too tired, went directly back to the temporary dormitory to rest, and these days he had to manage the system, communicate with the local Li Zicheng's generals, and manage discipline, which can be said to be miserable. When he returned to the camp, several soldiers greeted him, saying that the woman who asked for food just now refused to leave, and wanted to meet Li Xiangqian to say something, Li Xiangqian didn't think much about it, and ordered the soldiers to bring the woman, and then went back to his room, poured water and washed his face and mouth, and prepared to rest and sleep.

It was also a coincidence that when Li Xiangqian had just poured his face wash into the footbasin, the woman happened to be led into Li Xiangqian's room by the soldiers, and when she saw Li Xiangqian preparing to wash her feet, the woman walked quickly to Li Xiangqian and knelt down on her knees, and took the initiative to remove her shoes and socks for him.

Li Xiangqian hurriedly said, "No need. The woman didn't listen, and forced Li Xiangqian's stinky feet into the water, cleaned his stinky feet and massaged him at the same time, don't you say, the little hands are Qianqian, soft and tender, and they really made Li Xiangqian's stinky feet very comfortable.

Sighing, lamenting that his power was really a little too much, and he was a little reluctant to go, Li Xiangqian took the initiative to ask: "Why do you have to see me?" ”

The woman lowered her head, making it difficult to see her expression clearly: "The women are brave, I implore the lord to take them in, master, the women can do anything, do laundry and cooking, sweep the floor and wipe the table, the women can do anything, the lord you are a kind person, as long as you take in the women, the women don't need to be paid, as long as they have a bite to eat." ”

Li Xiangqian said to himself in his heart that he would never allow it, if he really kept her, then there would not be too many people lining up to work here tomorrow, and immediately shook his head and said: "No need, I am the one who leads the troops, this is already a military area, and no outsiders can live, so I can't take you in, but you don't have to be afraid, if you are really homeless, I can help you find a way, there is always a place to open a small stall in the nearby town to sell snacks, you can't be rich and expensive, there is always a chance to eat and wear, as for your family, I can send someone to inform them to pick you up. ”

Hearing Li Xiangqian's words, the woman was so moved that she couldn't help but shed tears again, but she shook her head again, choked up and said: "Master, your kindness, the folk girl is just a cow and a horse, and it is difficult to repay it, but I can't go outside, and I can't go home." ”

"Why?" Li Xiangqian asked suspiciously and cautiously, "Your family, are they all gone?" "If that's the case, it's another sad story, this kind of war-torn moment, hi.

"They're there, but because of them, I can't go back." The woman cried even more sadly, and said, "Once they know my whereabouts, they will definitely arrest me back, so I don't dare to live outside, because it will be both tiring and ......."

Li Xiangqian asked curiously about the specific reason, and the woman cried and said her life experience, saying that she was from Luoyang, and was born in a scholarly family, her parents passed away when she was eight years old, and the family road fell rapidly, so when she was thirteen years old, she was married to her husband at the time by her brother for a small amount of money, and then her husband died of measles last year, her mother-in-law was as ruthless as a wild boar and poisonous as a snake, not only had she been abused for a long time, but also intensified her abuse after her son's death, and planned to sell her to Qinglou for money. She couldn't stand such abuse, so she stole her father-in-law's clothes and disguised herself as a man and escaped, she knew that Luoyang's home was already ten rooms and nine empty, and her brother was long gone, there was nowhere to go, so she could only wander on the street, and she couldn't stand it after being hungry for more than a day, and then she walked to Xiaotun Village.

After crying about her tragic life experience, the woman begged Li Xiangqian again: "Master, the vicious in-laws of the people's women must be looking for me everywhere now, once I am found by them, I will definitely die if I am arrested, and please be kind and give the women a way to live, the women beg you, please!" ”

Li Xiangqian, who has always been calm, is rarely willing to do this kind of grandstanding and participating in family affairs, but since he met such a poor woman who was poisoned by feudal etiquette, Li Xiangqian's little remaining conscience was still mobilized, so after thinking about it for a while, he still said: "Then let's do it, I belong to the military administration area here, and those who have not passed the political trial cannot enter and exit, this is the ancestral land of Yinxu in ancient times, and people can not come and go at will, but everyone always has to eat and dress, and there are other miscellaneous things. It's still very cold these days, and I'm missing a snack to buy, plus those gentlemen who boil water and make tea, there's not much work, but it's trivial, I'm looking for someone, I think your legs and feet are quite flexible......"

As he spoke, he glanced slightly at the footbinding.

The woman burst into tears when she heard this, and quickly kowtowed to Li Xiangqian to thank him, Li Xiangqian waved his hand to stop, and said: "As for tonight, you ......, it's troublesome, this place is full of soldiers, and there is no extra room." ”

In fact, there are spare rooms, which are all stored for oracle bone relics, and they Li Xiangqian lived in a landlord's house, saying that it was a landlord, but in fact, there was only a yard and a few brick houses, which was already a better house in the local area.

"Sir, if you don't mind." The woman's voice was a little shy, and she whispered, "Is it okay to let the women live here?" The women of the people slept on the ground and ....... ”

Li Xiangqian was shaken like a rattle at that time, not to mention that although he is not a suspicious person, most of them have to beware of assassins, if he stays with women during the period of leading the troops, not to mention the fact that the grape trellis in the imperial capital falls to the ground, it will also affect morale and identity.

The woman saw that Li Xiangqian was a little unhappy, so she took the initiative to say again: "Master, if you find it inconvenient, let the woman sleep in the corridor outside." ”

"Okay then." Li Xiangqian nodded, and said: "It's not that I don't believe you, it's that you also know the defense of men and women, it doesn't matter if I'm a man, but I can't ruin your reputation, so I'll wronged you." I have cotton clothes here, you take one out as a quilt, and there is a hand stove, the stove is always lit outside, it will not be cold, my guards are watching outside, it is very safe. ”

The woman thanked her happily, first carefully massaged her feet for Li Xiangqian to relieve fatigue, poured foot washing water, and then took Li Xiangqian's cotton clothes and a bed of extra quilts to the corridor outside the door to rest, Wu Chaoyue carefully locked the door first, and then turned off the lights to rest, he was tired for a day, and as soon as he lay down, he immediately fell asleep, fortunately, there was nothing to do all night, but he also had a good night's sleep.

Early the next morning, with the help of years of self-discipline, Li Xiangqian got up very early, never stayed in bed, and after dressing up, he was full of energy, pushed open the door and went to prepare for the day's work.

But immediately I was stunned, and a beautiful girl with long hair coiled up appeared in front of me, and her eyes were very dark and bright, which made people shine.

Touching his nose vigorously to confirm that he was not asleep, Li Xiangqian said, "Who are you, outsiders are not allowed to come here." "His house was full of all kinds of things that outsiders couldn't touch, so naturally no one was allowed to enter.

"Sir, didn't you stay with her?" The pro-soldier immediately spoke.

"What I left?"

Li pointed forward, as if he had some doubts.

The beautiful woman nodded, bowed to Li Xiangqian, and said, "Folk woman Zhou Qiaoshi, please see the grace of the lord." ”

Li Xiangqian instructed the people around him to take her to familiarize herself with the work, and when she was far away, she thought about it carefully, and sighed again and again: "It's a pity, such a beautiful woman has become a widow, or not, I'd better avoid suspicion, and find her a house of her own in the afternoon, then again, it's time to organize a female soldier system." ”

Although Zhou Qiaoshi is beautiful, but after all, she is just a woman, for Li Xiangqian, work is work, entertainment is entertainment, and she was overworked last night, so she didn't care about this unkempt woman, and when she got up in the morning, Zhou Qiaoshi washed up, refreshing and refreshing, but also looked lovely.

But he has a lot of women in daily contact, and he is not a humanoid teddy, and it is impossible for him to be in heat when he sees a beautiful woman.

The job below is hard.

Traditional Chinese literati often say that they are the best in the world, and there is no real kung fu, especially the manual work of archaeology, in history, it is often the tomb robbers who dig up the tomb first, and only then can the literati condemn it, and by the way, buy the artifacts they dug up.

Of course, although now, Yinxu is not a tomb, but an ancient city, and in order to excavate and find out the remains of ancient houses and sacrificial places, I hope that the scale of the merchants' sacrifices, habits and other things can be deduced from this.

But it would be extremely difficult to expect them to use small tweezers and small brushes to solve the problem little by little like the archaeological team members, and Li Xiangqian soon found that those captains who touched gold were obviously not suitable for this kind of work, and they might be good at digging holes in the ground, digging into tombs to steal burial goods, but it was all rough work, dirty work, and simple and crude destructive excavation of the tomb.

And what is Oracle?

Merchants are superstitious, and like to use ox bones and turtle shells to engrave the divination, and then use the lit wooden blocks to burn, so that the bones crack and crack, which becomes the basis for the merchants to infer the divination.

These guys have to ask about the harvest of farming, about getting sick, about giving birth to children, and about hunting, fighting, sacrifices and other major events.

As a result, these questions themselves can already give people a taste of the life of a businessman, and even other major events.

Of course, such armor tablets were very precious, and soon, local scholars tried to carry them out.

After being caught, he was first annoyed and angry, and put on a literati stand, even if Wang Fuzhi persuaded him later, he just took it back to study it and forgot about it, such a trivial matter......

For Li Xiangqian, this is quite difficult.

In later generations, these nail pieces were sold to the Chinese by the Taiwanese who were in economic crisis, and the opening was five million pieces, claiming that if they did not buy it, they would give it to the Japanese father for nothing, and would rather burn it than leave it to the Chinese, Rao is so, and there is also a group of well-known elites in China howling and asking the government to buy it back, claiming that the Taiwanese are still of high quality and understand the value of these nail pieces, of course, they are all scum who have been bought.

At that time, in order to attack Taiwan, the Taiwan independence elements hid the oracle bone fragments in the Patriot missile base, claiming that if they sabotaged a little, the Chinese people would be sinners through the ages, and they had set up heavy machine guns and waited for the crowd tactics to send the Chinese people to death, and they could kill one million people in one day.

At that time, it was really a dilemma, fight, the oracle bones were all over, those oracle bones occupied a considerable number of the number of discoveries, if they did not fight, the threat of those missiles to the Chinese was real, just as they captured the Chinese on the island to do the act of shielding.

At that time, there was nothing to be done above, but it cost a little money, and the missile troops started to fight dog-eat-dog in the nest.

And Li Xiangqian's choice is also very similar, he originally said that the one who stole the oracle bone inscription will be killed.

But this man became arrogant and played a scoundrel, claiming that he had not heard it at the time: "Can the matter of the literati be called stealing, now that the Holy Son of Heaven is in power, it is naturally impossible to steal, I want to take it back to study it and repay the country." ”

If you kill, someone will inevitably hesitate or take the opportunity to make trouble.

But Li Xiangqian also had to do the same.

For him, is it really necessary to dig up and decipher the oracle bone inscription in a hurry?

No, he just needs to add his own personal goods to it, otherwise, the oracle bone will have a ready-made text version in the future.

As a result, the positioning of Xiaotun Village has become a transit station for excavation, packing and sorting, and then transporting back to the palace.

Not to mention anything else, Li Xiangqian promised Wang Fuzhi and others that after the words were identified in the future, who confirmed what characters would not only give some material rewards, but also leave a reputation, remembering who identified them.

In later generations, the museum took out a ruthless effort to interpret a word to give 100,000 yuan, and countless dicks claimed that the time to turn over had come, but looking at the back, it was necessary to write a high-quality paper that was recognized, and at the same time interpret it correctly.

That's going to be hard.

Rather than that, it's more convenient to award honors.

"The word mountain, the word day, and the word month, I'm afraid it's the easiest to distinguish."
