Before Emperor Chongzhen could figure out how the thermometer was made, a small village appeared in front of the group.

Emperor Chongzhen was a little disappointed.

Unlike Chang Ping, the reserve warehouse is located outside the city, but no matter how it is located outside the city, it is impossible to set it up in such a small village in front of you, and it will only be available in larger towns.

Take a look at the sky again, the sun is almost in the middle, now run to find a larger township to see the reserve warehouse, it is obviously unlikely, it is estimated that you can only wait for the afternoon or tomorrow.

After cheering up, Emperor Chongzhen spoke: "Let's go, go into the Zhuangzi and take a look, I will solve the problem of lunch here at noon today, and by the way, take a look at the social studies in the village, and find a town in the afternoon." ”

However, what disappointed Emperor Chongzhen even more was that after listening to the plans of Emperor Chongzhen and his party, the people in the village looked at Emperor Chongzhen with similar eyes to the two fools, and the words he said made Emperor Chongzhen want to punch out the yellow teeth of this bad old man.

"Where did our little village get social studies? You must be the imperial history from Kyochu, right? What are you doing here? If you want to see social studies, go forward along this road, and then walk three or five miles, which is Hujia Town, where there is social studies!

As for lunch, there is no surplus food in our village, let alone any delicacies from the mountains and seas, but I am afraid that it will be difficult for the old men to swallow? ”

This bad old man is very bad!

If you don't want to stay for dinner, you just say it, can you use such a roundabout thing? Don't have a delicacies of the mountains and seas? I don't know if what I like is the coarse tea and light rice of the farmer?

Besides, it's all at that, why don't you leave me here to eat, and I'll walk another three or five miles? Isn't that a joke!

Wang Chengen took out a silver ingot of about ten taels from his sleeve, checked it in his hand, and handed it to Li Zheng: "This is my master's reward." ”

Li Zheng laughed, and his originally bowed body became more curved, but he didn't take the silver, and his mouth full of yellow teeth kept spitting Xingzi: "Do you have treasure money in your old hand?" This thing, he can't change it! ”

Emperor Chongzhen's hand behind his back clenched into a fist, and then slowly let go - I want to hit someone!

After Wang Chengen snorted, he stuffed the silver back into his sleeve, took out a stack of treasure notes from his arms, and took out a ten-level face value from it and handed it to Li Zheng.

At this moment, Li Zheng's gaze changed when he looked at Emperor Chongzhen and the others, and it was no longer like the eyes of the two fools just now, but like he was looking at the golden pig, and they were about to burst out!

The original somewhat sarcastic look disappeared, and a slightly respectful attitude became more respectful, as if facing the ancestor of his own family: "Look at the memory of the little old man, isn't this just in time for the New Year, there are still some food at home that can barely be eaten, if a few nobles don't dislike it, just go to the little old man's house to eat some simply?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen snorted and ordered: "Lead the way." ”

The so-called simple eating is really simple, even a little simple - most of the dishes are cabbage and radishes, almost no oily food, and a chicken and a fish alone are probably the most precious meals on the table.

Emperor Chongzhen dared to swear with Huang Taiji's human hair, if he didn't still want to ask some questions about this and kill this bad old man, he would not let him sit down and eat a mouthful of food, and not a drop of vegetable soup would be left for his family.

Wang Chengen gave ten treasure banknotes - not to mention that treasure banknotes are more attractive than silver now, even if they are exchanged for the previous treasure banknotes when they were not worth much, these ten habitual treasure banknotes are enough to buy more than ten or twenty big fat chickens!

After taking a bite of the dish and tasting it, Emperor Chongzhen nodded secretly in his heart.

This kind of dish cooked in a rural cauldron is more in line with your own taste than the dishes made by the imperial chefs in the palace, especially the salt in it, which shows that it is also heartfelt.

Of course, it's okay to eat a meal like this once in a while, but you can't eat it every day - no matter how delicious this thing is, how can it compare to a bowl of bird's nest porridge for breakfast?

After a shallow sip of the turbid wine in the cup, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help frowning.

Sweet potato roast is such a good thing, it must be no problem to let Captain Li come over and drink it, but I always feel that I am not used to it, and it is too rushed.

Not only Emperor Chongzhen, but also Wen Tiren and others - things are okay, the wine is too bad, and all the artistic conceptions are directly broken.

The meal was a little unhappy, and it ended in a hurry, and the table was quickly cleaned up, replaced with a pot of tea, and Li Zheng brought over a plate of melon seeds and put it on the table, and the whole person's smile looked so obscene.

Emperor Chongzhen was not interested in melon seeds, nor was he interested in the tea on the table, so he just asked lightly: "There is no social science in the village, so there is no Mongolian school?" ”

Li Zheng's waist is a little stiff, and the whole person is like a boiled prawn: "If you go back to adulthood, there is indeed no social science in the village, and the original Mengxue has also been closed by the government, and now the children go to school in Hujia Town, which is three miles away." ”

Emperor Chongzhen said curiously: "How did the children go to Hujia Town?" Isn't it all walking? ”

Li Zheng's gaze once again returned to the kind of gaze that he had when he first saw Emperor Chongzhen and the others, and looked at the second fool: "What this adult said is really interesting, if you don't rely on walking over, how can you pass?"

If there are any big families, it is easy to say, as long as they send a family to escort them, they will go by horse-drawn carts and ox-carts, but where are the big families in our small village? It's just a matter of letting the baby go. ”

Emperor Chongzhen was even more curious: "Then don't worry about traffickers?" Don't worry about your child getting lost? ”

Rizheng grinned, "Traffickers? You have to dare! Our Zhuangzi is small, but it is very safe, and no traffickers have dared to appear in our place since a few years ago.

And, don't adults know? The emperor ordered who would dare to sell children, but if you want to Ling Chi or punish the nine clans, it is ruthless enough anyway, where does anyone dare to do this? ”

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart.

What happened to the Shengshi Heavy Codex? If the cost of crime is low, it will lead others to commit crimes!

After the heavy hand in the early years of the two brothers involved in the mutilation, there have been almost no more traffickers and harvesting in recent years.

It is conceivable that after Tianjin Wei dealt with the Fushou Paste this time, if anyone in the Ming Dynasty wants to attack the Fushou Paste in the future, they will have to think carefully about how high the cost is - Ling Chi, the three clans, and the rest of the nine clans are exiled, does anyone dare to commit this cost?

Of course there is, after all, there are people who dare to do the rebellion of the Zhujiu clan, what are the three clans?

But how many rebels? How many can the entire Ming Dynasty find out?

After pulling back the deviated thinking, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said: "As the old man guessed, this official and everyone behind him are all the imperial history of the imperial history platform, and this trip is to come to the people to take a look at the edict of the Son of Heaven." Dare to ask my father-in-law, how is life at home now? ”

Li Zheng's face showed a hint of triumph, touched his gray beard, grinned and said with a smile full of yellow teeth: "The life at home is really getting better and better every year."

What can I eat during the Chinese New Year in previous years? There are some dried vegetables, and if you can eat two white flour buns, it will be the New Year.

A few years ago, it was much better than before, and it was only the bones that others picked up leftover when I saw some meat, and it wasn't until the past two years that it really got better. ”

Li Zheng picked up the tea on the table, took a sip and continued: "Just like this year, the chickens that were reluctant to kill in previous years were also killed, and there was spare money to buy one or two fish, and the meat could also be cut into a few big pieces of fat back, it was really a great day." ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, looked out of the window through the somewhat dilapidated window, looked at the sun that had passed in the middle, and then simply got up and said, "Could you please take me around the village with me?" ”

Li Zheng also hurriedly got up and said: "The official is willing to take a turn in the village, and the villain will lead the way." ”

Several people walked out of the courtyard and into the street.

The road is not very good, the loess road is covered with a layer of snow, and occasionally some furnace ash slag leaks in some places, which is obviously the cinder of honeycomb coal.

Emperor Chongzhen pointed to the ash slag on the ground and said with a smile: "Is this thing okay to burn?" ”

Li Zheng said: "It's okay, this thing is cheaper, and the firepower is enough, so you don't need to be too distracted to take care of it."

It's just that this thing also has disadvantages, in addition to the fact that the fire is not as good as firewood, you need to be more careful, otherwise if you don't get it right, it will make people suffer from charcoal poisoning. ”

Emperor Chongzhen was stunned: "Charcoal poison? ”

Li Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, it's charcoal poison." Most of those who are poisoned by this poison will die in their sleep, and their faces will show a blush, unlike the blue of normal dead people.

But fortunately, in the past few years, I don't know where it came from, and I made a chimney on the stove, and the matter of charcoal poisoning has become less and less, and I have hardly heard of it again. ”

Li Zheng's words were half-literate, but Emperor Chongzhen understood it.

The so-called charcoal poison is actually carbon monoxide poisoning, of course, there is no awareness and reaction, as long as no one knows the specific ingredients of poisoning, it is just carbon monoxide.

After taking a few steps forward, Rimasa pointed to a nearby courtyard.

Through the open gate of the courtyard, you can see that there are several big houses with blue tiles in the courtyard, but they are all magnificent in the house of Lizheng, and two thick little children are holding bamboo poles to poke the ice skates on the eaves: "This family is surnamed Sun, and he has been living here for more than ten years.

In the early years, let alone marrying a mother-in-law, his family couldn't even afford to wear clothes! Later, he married when Chongzhen was ten years old, and later had these two babies. ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he put on a curious look and asked, "Oh? Didn't you mean you couldn't afford to wear clothes? Now look at these two dolls are not too bad, right? ”

A trace of envy flashed in Li Zheng's eyes, and he pouted: "The man in this family is also a tough person.

When Chongzhen was eight years old, he went to Liaodong to catch barbarians with a pair of big feet, and he didn't come back until the end of Chongzhen's ninth year.

This time I came back is amazing, in addition to the knife wounds and sword wounds, I also carried a hundred and ten taels of silver, and pushed the original broken grass house to be rebuilt, and bought this big family business. ”

What a big family business? Did this bad old man misunderstand these words?

After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen simply asked again: "Since this man can buy such a family business, it can be seen that he has earned a lot of money in Liaodong, and it stands to reason that this man should continue to earn silver, why is he so at home?" ”

Li Zheng pursed his lips and said, "Aren't you still hanging on to marrying a daughter-in-law?"

are all rural people, although this person has a lot of knife wounds and sword wounds, but he is not blind or lame, and he has silver in his hand, so it is naturally easy to say goodbye, no, Chongzhen married a daughter-in-law in the ninth year, and this guy didn't go out again, bought a few acres of land, and guarded his wife and children. ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, and then walked forward.

Everyone has their own way of life, as long as they don't violate their conscience and the law, they live happily, and they are worthy of their wives and children, and it is normal for them to be unwilling to fight and kill.

As he walked forward, Li Zheng continued: "Speaking of which, this man is also strange.

Obviously, I have killed people in Liaodong and seen blood, but after I came back, farming is not much worse than those of us who spend all day digging in the field, and we treat the villagers very kindly, and I can't see that I have killed people at all.

The old man is not stupid, his more than 100 taels of silver, at least more than 20 slaves can be exchanged for it, such a fierce man, when he is frightened by his daughter-in-law, he will be like that little chick, but it is interesting and tight. ”

Emperor Chongzhen laughed: "He lived his life well, as long as he didn't violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty, why bother with him?" ”

While he was talking, a strong man like an iron tower walked in front of him, followed by a few children far behind, and from time to time some children shouted with a smile: "Killing people like Masun Lao Qi, marrying a daughter-in-law Jiaodidi, what is Lao Qi afraid of?" I'm afraid of my mother-in-law! ”

The nondescript nursery rhyme was shouted by several children behind the strong man, and the strong man was annoyed, turned around and scolded: "Little rabbit! If I get you, I'm going to smash your ass! ”

Many children laughed and scattered, Sun Laoqi turned his head and glanced at Emperor Chongzhen and the others, his face couldn't help but have a trace of shame, and after saluting to Lizheng, he strode in the direction of his home.

Emperor Chongzhen turned his head and glanced at Sun Laoqi, then walked forward again.

What's wrong with being afraid of your wife, how many people in the future are not afraid of their own wives? Even if it is Da Ming, in fact, no one is not afraid of his wife - his wife is different from a concubine, he is afraid that his wife will not be laughed at, and he who is afraid of his concubine is a joke.

Afraid of his own wife, this is a virtue, and it must be carried forward and inherited!
