Chapter 2: One Door, One World

The housekeeper was shocked and shouted in a panic: "Young master, you can't sign it, but the hundred acres of paddy fields are the last reliance of our Zhao family, if there are no paddy fields, the life of the family will be a problem......

He pleaded with Steward Li and said: "Steward Li, you have also seen the current situation of the Zhao family, you really can't afford to repay the money, you just look at the fact that my lord and you still have a little friendship, then be accommodating, and after the summer harvest, the house has money, and I will send it to you immediately......"

Steward Li snorted coldly, "How much does that 100 acres of paddy field produce in a year?" This matter is not negotiable! ”

He looked at Zhao Rui, "Zhao Gongzi, sign it, you have no choice but to sign now." ”

Zhao Rui actually doesn't have much feeling about selling land, after all, in the 21st century, at least more than half of the people don't have land, but they still live well?

But this is not the 21st century, although he does not know which period it is, but in ancient times, in any period, land is the most important, not only a symbol of status, but also a hope of life, even if you have money, if there is no land, it is also a rootless Ping, no one will follow you, because others will think that there is no future with you.

In addition, if Zhao Rui sells the paddy field today, it will be difficult to buy it back in the future, after all, the ancients regarded land as more expensive than life, if it is not really difficult, no one will sell land at all!

This is caused by the limitations of the thinking of the ancients, and no one can change this.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Rui asked the old housekeeper, "There is nothing else to sell at home?" ”

The old housekeeper said with a bitter face: "No, in the past two years, in order to repay the debt, basically everything that can be sold has been sold." ”

It seems that there is only one way to sell paddy fields, but it is just ......

Zhao Rui hesitated for a while and asked Manager Li: "Is there really no other way?" ”

Steward Li shook his head, "This is the only way, there is no choice!" ”

Zhao Rui sighed and arched his hand to Steward Li, "Steward Li, this way, you give me three more days, if I don't pay you back the money within three days, the kid will sign the contract for the sale of this paddy field." What do you think? ”

Seeing that he finally let go, Steward Li finally landed with a stone hanging in his heart, and he didn't want to force people too hard, after all, returning the money was the most important thing, and nodded: "Zhao Gongzi said so, then I will give you another three days, remember, there are only three days, this is the last chance, if you haven't paid it back after three days, please remember Zhao Gongzi's words today." Let's go! ”

Steward Li left with two strong men.

As soon as the people left, the old housekeeper began to persuade Zhao Rui, "Young master, the paddy field really can't be sold, that's the only property of the Zhao family, the land is gone, and you won't be able to live in the future, young master, really, the land really can't be sold, if the old man knows underground, he will scold you, and the old slave doesn't have the face to see him......"

Zhao Rui was given a headache by his chatter, and waved his hand: "Then do you have a better way?" ”

The old butler shook his head.

"That's it, everyone has brought people to the door, it can be seen that this is an ultimatum, if I don't let go, do you think they can make it easier for the two of us?

Patting the old butler on the shoulder, Zhao Rui said: "That's it, don't think too much, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, isn't there still three days, maybe there is a way?" Okay, you get busy first, I'll go out and have a look......"

As he spoke, he was about to go out.

He is ready to explore the situation in this world, after all, he is unfamiliar with life, he doesn't know anything, and he can't do anything.

But the old housekeeper stopped him directly, and said in a panic: "Young master, you can't go out, you can't go out......"

Zhao Rui was stunned, "Why?" ”

The old housekeeper said: "Now the yamen is busy catching strong men everywhere, you let those people see it again!" ”

Zhao Rui: "Why are you catching strong men?" ”

The old housekeeper whispered: "I heard that the Mongolian Tatars in the north are going to fight, and the imperial court is not enough soldiers, so the counties are asked to recruit some young and strong forces to enlist in the army and go to the front line in the north to support, that is a war, people will die, who wants to go, many young and middle-aged people are hiding, and the county commander is personally leading people to arrest people everywhere in the past two days......

"You wait a minute!"

Zhao Rui's face was suspicious: "What did you just say...... The Mongol Tartars from the north are coming? ”

The old housekeeper nodded: "Yes, I heard that those Tartars are very powerful, it only took a few years to annex the Jin Kingdom in the north, and a few years ago, they began to conquer our Great Song Dynasty, but fortunately, General Meng of our Great Song Dynasty is the reincarnation of the Soldier Saint, and led the soldiers to kill countless Tartars, which prevented the Tartars from continuing to invade south, but the line has not been peaceful two years ago, and people often die ......"

Zhao Rui's face became even more suspicious, and he interrupted him again, "Who is the emperor now?" ”

The old housekeeper was stunned for a moment, why didn't the young master even know this? Isn't he always reading the books of the sages, shouldn't he be unaware......

But he still arched his hand to the sky and replied: "The emperor of our Great Song Dynasty is Zhao Yuan and Zhao Guiren!" ”

"Zhao Yuan?"

Zhao Rui looked confused, "Who is Zhao Yuan?" ”

When he heard about the Great Song Dynasty just now, he thought that he was in the Song Dynasty, but when he heard this Zhao Yuan, he was confused, he didn't remember that there was an emperor named Zhao Yuan in the Song Dynasty.

When he was killed in a car accident because of his parents, before he became a homeless, he was a high school student who had just taken the college entrance examination.

He can say with certainty that there is absolutely no emperor named Zhao Yuan in the history of the Song Dynasty!

So, he asked, "What year is it?" ”

The old housekeeper looked at him even more strangely, isn't the young master in a bad brain? Why don't you even know what year it is?

But he also replied: "Xianchun seven years." ”

"Seven years of Xianchun?"

Zhao Rui was stunned for a moment, "Isn't this the year when Zhao Zhen of the Southern Song Dynasty was the emperor?" But who is Zhao Yuan? Isn't my Song Dynasty the Great Song Dynasty in Chinese history? ”

He asked again: "Who is the founding emperor of our Great Song Dynasty?" ”

The housekeeper touched his forehead suspiciously, "Don't burn it, why didn't you even forget this, young man?" The founding emperor of our Great Song Dynasty is Zhao Kuang, who rebelled in Songzhou and overthrew the Tang Dynasty under the evil government, because of the incident in Songzhou, so the country was named the Great Song Dynasty......"

"Zhao Kuang? Who is Zhao Kuang? ”

Zhao Rui is 100% sure that there is absolutely no emperor named Zhao Kuang in the Song Dynasty in history!

He asked, "The Mongol Tartars you spoke of...... Who is their emperor? ”

The housekeeper thought for a while and said, "They don't seem to be called emperors, but Great Khans, and I heard that the Great Khan of the Mongol Tartars was a general named Borkin, who was only a minor general of the Jin State back then, and later rebelled because he was dissatisfied with the tyranny of the imperial court......"

With the butler's story, Zhao Rui finally determined a fact: the world he is in is a world that is highly similar to ancient China, except that the names of people are not the same, and some small things are different from the records in history, but the power, territory, and even the time of the change of dynasties are the same!

He couldn't help but be awe-struck.

If the next history is still the same as the history of ancient China, then the Great Song Dynasty may not have a few years to live.

According to historical records, in the seventh year of Xianchun, Kublai Khan founded the country in Dadu as "Dayuan", and in the ninth year of Xianchun, Fancheng was lost, Xiangyang was broken, Lu Wenhuan finally surrendered, and the six-year defense of Xiangyang ended.

Then, the entire Southern Song Dynasty fell into a state of fall, most of the area was occupied by the Yuan army, the remnants of the Southern Song Dynasty Lu Xiufu, Wen Tianxiang and Zhang Shijie and others successively supported two young emperors, the establishment of a small court, the Yuan army pursued the little emperor, and constantly fled to the south, fled to Xinhui to the South China Sea.

Wen Tianxiang was defeated and captured in Haifeng, Zhang Shijie's warship sank, and the desperate remnants of the Southern Song Dynasty finally fell on the sixth day of February in the sixteenth year of the Yuan Dynasty (with the defeat of the Battle of Yashan, Lu Xiufu jumped into the sea and died with the little emperor who had just turned eight), so far, the Southern Song Dynasty died.

In other words, if Zhao Rui's world is on the same trajectory as ancient China in history, then the Great Song Dynasty only has two relatively peaceful years left.

Then, there will be a major invasion of the Mongols, and then the country will be destroyed.

Zhao Rui didn't feel anything about this, after all, his soul was a smuggler and he had no patriotism, but what he was afraid of was that after the Great Song Dynasty was annexed by Mongolia.

According to historical records, when the Southern Song Dynasty was destroyed, the Yuan Dynasty was unified, and in the early stage of rule, it was very unfriendly to the Han people, and the people of the world were divided into four classes, and the Han people were the lowest, especially the Han people in the south, and other ethnic minorities in the south were all classified as the lowest, which was lower than the status of the Han people in the north.

That period was definitely a nightmare period for all Han people, especially the southerners, who were not as good as pigs and dogs, and in just a few years, the population in the territory plummeted by more than half.

After the Great Song Dynasty was annexed by the Mongols, would the Han people also be treated differently by the Yuan Dynasty as they did in history?

As a soul from the 21st century, Zhao Rui will never allow himself to be treated like a pig and a dog, let alone live an inferior life!

"Regardless of whether this Great Song Dynasty will be destroyed like the Southern Song Dynasty in history, you must prepare in advance......

Zhao Rui asked the old housekeeper: "How much money do you have at home?" ”

The old housekeeper obviously knew this very well, and said with a bitter face: "Young master, there is not much left, only one hundred and ten taels of silver left, according to your usual expenses, it can last for three months at most." Originally, I thought that after two months, the rice will come down and the rice will be sold, so that we can deal with the days of the past, but ......"

He cried and said, "Young master, the paddy fields really can't be sold......"

Zhao Rui is convinced, he cries at every turn, he doesn't know where the tears of the ancients came from, are they all actors? If you say tears, you will cry, and the actors are not as free as their emotions, and it would be a loss not to act in a movie.

"Okay, I got it, I'll figure it out......"

Zhao Rui walked towards the ancestral hall in the backyard.

He needs to calm down and think about the next step.

The ancestral hall has the same layout as the two courtyards in front, with a hall house in the middle and side rooms on both sides.

Zhao Rui didn't think much about it, and went directly into the wing room on the left.

Who would have thought that as soon as he walked in, his body froze and his eyes widened.

His eyes were fixed on the ground.

Where the eye looks, there is a carpet and a mirror.

This blanket is one meter five wide and more than two meters long, occupying almost half of the wing, and is painted with a peacock green pine picture, although it looks a little dirty on the surface, but the color is still very bright.

The mirror on the side of the carpet is about 30 centimeters in size, and the four sides are wood-framed, and the mirror looks a little dirty, but it still clearly reflects the roof.

There are many ancient mirrors, but this one is different, and very different!

Because the mirror surface of this mirror is glass!

Zhao Rui's breathing suddenly became rapid, "How is it possible!" ”

That's right!

This carpet and mirror are the same carpet and mirror that Zhao Rui threw in the box before, which he picked up in the trash can a few days ago!

"Isn't the cargo box missing!"

"Why are they here?"

"Did they come through with me?"

Suddenly, Zhao Rui had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and remembered a movie advertisement he saw in a square a few days ago - cohabitation in time and space.

Gu Xiaojiao from 2018 and Lu Ming from 1999, because of the overlap of time and space, accidentally lived in the same room, and through two different doors, they could enter each other's time world.

"Is it ......?"

Zhao Rui suddenly became excited, he quickly came to the door of the ancestral hall, closed the door on the right, and then opened the door on the left.

Then, his mouth opened wide in shock!

Through the door, he saw the world that was familiar to him!
