Chapter 40: Weijia Village

Located in the north vein of the Qinling Mountains, Cuihua Mountain is beautiful, the scenery is picturesque, the most fascinating is the pond at the top of the peak, trickling from the mountains and stones, the sound is like a musician elegantly holding a slender wooden stick to strike the delicate chime. The pond is surrounded by mountains, rippling blue waves, clear as a mirror, and the dust is not clean.

There is the simple and heavy Taiyi Hall in the south of the pond, it is the place where the drought and rain are prayed for in the old days, there is the Taiyi Tianzun Dharma of the clay sculpture wooden tire in the main hall, the mottled wood paint peels off, the melons and fruits on the platform are green and fresh, and the mellow meat fragrance of the three animals is far away.

The chirping of all kinds of birds nailed to the eaves, but the eyeballs the size of glass marbles stared at the deliciousness of the meat, until the old temple Zhu drove away with a broom, only to be unwilling to scream, fluttering wings and flying back into the mountain forest.

Standing in the high field, the grass and trees are miserable, and the towering withered yellow weeds are pressed by the raging north wind, revealing the shallow ridges of the forest garden in the Qin Kingdom in the past, like the circular low slope of the stars and the moon, where the former pre-Qin nobles sang 'The leaves are pale, and the white dew is frost.' ”

There were also Qin Shi Huang who held a three-foot-long Tai'a sword in his hand, sharp eyes, stroked a thick swallow jaw, and wore a beam crown here to look down on the elite Qin soldiers from the Lantian camp, or Zhou Yafu drove a chariot with a horse, leading the soldiers of the Xiliu Battalion to chase the wild deer and honey pots in the fields here......

The palace has made soil, the Qin and Han dynasties have been about a thousand years ago, the west mountainside of the mountain deer playing in the past has also risen a new building, although it is not comparable to the mountains and mountains of the Afang Palace, the sky is hidden and the sun is hidden, but there are also hundreds of mansions, and the glazed tiles shine in the sunlight.

At the foot of the mountain, there are thousands of cottages. Since the Qin Dynasty, Shang Ying made the "Household Separation Order" during the filial piety period, stipulating that "if the people have more than two men and no differences, they will be doubled". Shang Ying and Qin both died, but Qin Law did not die!

In order to verify the population that should pay taxes and bear the burden of forced labor, Emperor Wen of Sui ordered the "Great Suo Xiang Reading" as early as the third year of the emperor's reign, that is, according to the age registered on the household registration and the appearance of the person, check whether the age is false.

Tang followed the Sui system, and the grasp and control of household registration was also very strict, and if the county officials were familiar with official affairs, they could see at a glance that there were about 3,000 people......

Chickens and dogs barked, and men walked farther west to the newly opened wastelands with their hoes in short browns. But if you look closely, these men have immature faces, and the beards under their chins are as soft as fluttering, not as cold and hard as the manes of adult male pigs......

On the ridge of the countryside, a short and thin boy like a winter melon wiped the fine sweat on his forehead, looked at a slightly dark boy of about the same age as him who was working hard to farm, his eyes showed envy, but also gratitude, and said with a little emotion:

"Five days ago, the county officials of the county government came to Weijia Village with the grace of the saint, and appointed Heizi you as the village Xu to manage our sixty households, if it weren't for Heizi, you knelt down and begged the emperor, we might be like the homeless people under Chang'an City, and we can only drink a bowl of gruel that can't stand with chopsticks every day."

Tang system, Shangshu province is under the state, the state is under the county, and the county is under the township, all of which are called Fu. Youyun: "The order of the king is carried out on the left and right, the left and right are awarded to the Fang Town, the Fang Town is distributed in the state pastor, the state is slaughtered in the county, the county is slaughtered in the township, and the township officials are passed on to the village, and then as for the people." ”

Although he is a small village, managing the population of these sixty households, he is really a bait villain in Datang, but for Wei Ziyang, he is already very satisfied. Most of the population of the sixty households is the same village as him, and the surname Liu is the majority, and the name of the village is also Liujia Village, but since he knelt in front of the emperor, thanks to the grace of heaven, the people of Liujia Village have a place to live.

Liujia Village was also changed to Weijia Village, which is really grateful to Wei Ziyang.

"Wang Gua, this is not a certain credit, it is Your Majesty's old man's compassion for our poor people who have lost their homes and been displaced." Wei Ziyang shook his head, with a hint of gratitude in his heart, if Li Yuan hadn't appeared in time, the food money given by the people in Chang'an Market that day would eventually run out one day, and even if his widowed sister-in-law did not commit to exchange for five buckets of rice at that time, she would also seek a bite to eat for the child in the future.

"These wastelands are the foundation of real shelter, as long as we work hard, the environment will change next year, a certain nephew... A certain must be raised for nothing, and the spirit of the eldest brother in the sky will definitely be relieved by a certain one. Wei Ziyang raised the hoe in his hand high, and then fell down, and the hot and humid soil dug out was hope.

"The food in the urn is almost finished," Wang Gua half-jokingly said.

While the two were talking, it was Wei Ziyang's widowed sister-in-law trotting over, looking panicked, with a layer of dense sweat floating on her delicate and white face, and the hair on her temples was wet, she gasped and said: "My brother, it is said that there was a plague outbreak in Chang'an yesterday, and the lieutenant wants to invite you over..."

"The plague?" Wang Gua's face was shocked, and he immediately sat on the ground for a long time.

Wei Ziyang kicked his ass and scolded: "Melon coward, Cuihua Mountain is half a day's drive from Chang'an, how can the plague spread here so quickly." ”

"Nope." Wang Gua shook his head blankly, looked into the distance, and asked for a long time: "Heizi, do you say that so-and-so can still survive?" ”

", don't say these frustrating words, how long have the good days passed?" Wei Zi raised his eyebrows, handed the hoe in his hand to his sister-in-law, wiped his hand between his elbows a few times, wiped away the dirty sweat, and re-strangled the softness, he was about to run back to Weijia Village.

"Sister-in-law, you clean up here, go back when you go, melon, you can go with you." Wei Ziyang shouted loudly with the ridge of the field where Wang Gua was sitting on his back.

But at this moment, the thick dust on Wang Gua's face was drained out of two ditches by clear tears, and he whispered: "Some... It seems to be sick. “

After that, Wang Gua lifted his sleeves to Wei Ziyang, who came over, and there were countless small red dots on the thick arms that were not very white and distinct from the dark palms, and he sobbed: "Some... I don't know, I thought it was because of the water and soil... Two days ago, I had a few words with a man from a foreign country......"

"I heard that Chang'an has detained the infected homeless people in one place, and if the doctors can't treat them, they are ready to burn them to death at another day." Sister-in-law released more shocking news.

Wang Gua's face became more and more embarrassed, "Kuroko, isn't there a rescue?" ”

Wei Ziyang's face turned dark, and he slapped Wang Gua with a hard slap of his palm, and scolded: "Melon cowardice, I don't know how the plague is, maybe it's just a common minor disease, what are you worried about, go back to the village and ask the chief?" ”

"No, if you don't go back, you'll be burned if you go back!" Wang Gua said firmly.

Syllable! Another slap in the face!

"Horizontal and vertical are birds facing the sky, if you don't go, it's still a dead word, and it will harm other families, maybe there is a way to live, it's true... Can't live, so... Raise your sister! ”

PS: It's a little late tonight, but don't worry, because I owe more recently, I feel uneasy, so I decided to stay awake tonight, code words all night, vote for one with a recommendation vote, and give a ......
