When I came, I was still scared to ride a horse, but after a few days of training, when I came back, I no longer grabbed the horse's mane, tightened the reins, and sat on the horse. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The mood is relaxed, and the whole world is completely different, looking at the village in the distance, according to the rare scene of the past life.

The official road is wide and wide, enough for four horses to walk side by side, and now sitting on a yellow husper, moving up and down, as in the previous life when sitting on a tractor.

There are many houses in Pingba (plain area), and there are several large yards or several households every one or two miles.

The paddy fields of Pingba were mostly ploughed, and crops were also planted on the dry land, and there was little abandonment, and it seems that the plain area was basically developed in the late Ming Dynasty.

This is not the case in the hills and mountainous areas, except for some positive ditches, or the flat terrain of the mountains has been well developed, and many slopes are covered with grass more than a foot high, and it seems that the hills and mountains have not been developed much.

In addition, it is the people's houses, they may be worried about being attacked by jackals, tigers and leopards, or afraid of bandits, so they choose to live in groups, often four or five families live together, forming a large courtyard, rather than a single family like in the previous life.

Due to the large number of hills in northern Sichuan, the forests are luxuriant, and the wood is extremely rich, most of them are tiled houses, of course, many also build one or two thatched huts next to the tiled houses, and there are very few thatched huts.

In addition, there are many hills in northern Sichuan, and the terrain is extremely dangerous, especially in some hilly areas and mountainous areas, where people build cottages in their dangerous places to prevent the attacks of jackals, tigers and leopards or bandits.

In addition to the living environment, many mountainous areas and hills were far from being developed, and there were many jackals, tigers and leopards in the local area, mainly because they were affected by the war.

At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Mongols invaded the Central Plains, and Sichuan was the main battlefield in the west to resist the Mongol army. Among them, the more famous ones are the Diaoyu City in Hechuan, the Yunshan Ancient City in Xiangru County in Pengzhou, the Yunding City in Jintang County in Chengdu, and the Dahou City in Tongjiang.

Since ancient times, the war against aggression is mostly a national war, in addition to the government to build mountain cities, the people are spontaneously building cottages, so in the north of Sichuan, in Sichuan, in the east of Sichuan folk appeared large and small cottages.

Looking at these cottages, Yang Xuan sometimes wondered in his heart, in the era of alternating use of hot and cold weapons, how could Zhang Xianzhong, the king of the eighth dynasty, break through the starry cottage with the sword in his hand in less than two and a half years, and slaughter the people of Sichuan?

Could it be that there is another hidden story in the destruction of Sichuan Province at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and there are other people who slaughtered Sichuan?

Looking at the bustling small towns in front of him, Yang Xuan was quite puzzled in his heart, and sometimes he wanted to take a closer look, worried that when he woke up, all this would be destroyed by that big villain.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that Sichuan not only had developed agriculture at the end of the Ming Dynasty, but also had a developed urban economy.

Let's take the Tiefotang near the Jialing River as an example, it is an alluvial plain, with a radius of more than ten miles and flat land, and it is not much worse than the countryside in the early eighties of the previous life. (Except for the introduction of high-yield crops such as corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, they are all slash-and-burn cultivation, and the difference is not too big.)

Tiefotang is only a medium-sized market in Yilong County, but the market is more than half a mile long, the road is about five or six meters wide, all paved with bluestone, and the others are shops.

After a brief count, there are seven or eight grocery stores, four or five inns, restaurants, teahouses, plus blacksmith shops, carpenter shops, oil shops, grain stores, etc., and there are more than 20 large and small merchants.

In ancient times, it was generally every 147, 258, 369 to rush to the market, and the whole street was crowded with all kinds of people, everyone rushed to the market from seven towns and eight miles to buy and sell goods, and purchase daily livelihoods.

According to the simple statistics at this street entrance, more than 2,000 people rushed to the market that day, men, women and children wore their best clothes, carried burdens, and pushed wheelbarrows to the market to buy and sell goods.

Before the rebellion of the local rioters, Tiefotang was crowded with people everywhere, which was called prosperity, and now there are many fewer people than in the past.

In order to purchase oil, salt, sauce and vinegar for daily life, everyone came from ten miles and eight miles away, most of them wore thick cotton clothes, covered with linen cloth and short hexagrams, and wore cloth shoes on their feet.

Although it is tattered, many of them are patched, but they are very neat, and some of them are whitewashed, which shows that everyone is very hygienic and very thrifty.

Among them, there are also some businessmen who are very well-dressed, most of them are scholars and businessmen, in order to show their status.

During the Hongwu period, businessmen were not allowed to wear silk and satin, but after the middle of the Ming Dynasty, few people cared about these anymore.

The streets are full of people, and in narrow corners people are crowded.

Some old people sighed, everyone is worried about the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, and everyone is worried when the local tyrants are there, but now it is good, the official army has recovered the county seat, and now there is no trace of the local tyrants within a radius of forty or fifty miles, and everyone is not as afraid as in the past;

Although it is much better than in the past, but the people are not worried at all from time to time, everyone is most worried about pulling miscellaneous labor, five days ago the general soldier Liu Jiayin led his troops to pass by Tiefotang, and forced the chief to pull 50 strong men to help pull military rations or something.

It was a scene of life and death, the parents shouted bitterly and called their son's nickname, and the son knelt on the ground with his calves and didn't want to leave.

But now the people seem to have forgotten the scene of the day, although some are still whispering, but now it is the lunar month, and the New Year is coming soon, and everyone doesn't want to mention this kind of obscure thing again.

The entrance of the venue is full of noisy crowds, there are performers next to the restaurant in the street, shouting loudly, everyone around the circle to watch everyone perform, the performance is good, shouting and applauding, and at this time a little girl walked to the front of everyone with a delicate rice bowl, begging in a low voice, and did not force everyone, and generously escaped a few copper coins jingling into the bowl.

There are stalls everywhere at the entrance of the venue, and everyone consciously divides them into several categories according to the things they sell, and then displays their goods on the baskets and back baskets, and whispers with the passing crowd.

After the completion of the sale, you need to weigh the buyer's scale, if you feel not very accurate, there is a public name in the field, and everyone pays two copper coins after using the public weighing.

There is everything on the street, there are people who buy chickens, ducks and fish, eggs, duck eggs, pork, all kinds of agricultural grains, and all kinds of farm tools, kitchen knives, machetes and so on.

Many of those who sell farm tools, kitchen knives, machetes and various daily necessities are ancestral, and pay great attention to reputation, and the kitchen knives and machetes made by the king blacksmith of this town are famous far and wide, and many people come to Tiefotang to buy.

Copper coins are mainly used in daily trading, and some businessmen actually have a few copper coins around their necks, bargaining with everyone back and forth, and the transaction is untied and taken out of the copper coins and delivered to everyone.

There are also broken silver used in the field, very troublesome, we need to see the fineness of broken silver, some take it in the hand to weigh it, report the number, if there is a difference between the two sides and then weigh it with a small scale, and then convert it into copper money delivery.

But people often complain that some shop owners are very mean, and if they see that they are outsiders, they often hide it.

Yang Xuan bought a little something, using broken silver, which was originally about 2 yuan and 3 cents of broken silver, but the store saw that the other party was honest and honest, and insisted that it was less than 2 yuan, and then used a little bit of small means when weighing it was just 2 yuan.

The store complained that it was not honest, and the broken silver of less than 2 yuan actually claimed to be more than 2 yuan.

I looked at more than a dozen shops in a row, and each store was crowded with people, everyone shouted loudly, and the shopkeeper was busy.
