Chapter 5 Household Registration (1)

According to historical records, there were almost 3 million households in the Tang Dynasty in the last years of Zhenguan, and according to the calculation of six people in each household, the population was less than 18 million, plus those who were slaves, the entire Datang would definitely not exceed 20 million people.

There are so many monks, a monk forms a family and gives birth to three children, according to the calculation of the existing 150,000 monks in Datang, so that there will be 450,000 more, what about 18 years later? These populations have doubled again, and what about going on like this?

Especially the belittlement of Taoism in Journey to the West, it is really a shame that Li Shen cursed loudly, and a good Chinese orthodox religion has become a foil for a foreign sect, which is simply a great shame.

Especially Tang Sanzang, this guy, who was embarrassed and threw people abroad, didn't know how to dog's legs, and only brought back these messy things in a low voice to harm the entire Chinese nation, how can Taoism be broad and profound.

"What are you thinking?" Pang Lan looked at Li Shen, who was lying on the chair with a weird smile, and asked with a frown.

"Hmm, hmm~~~"

Li Shen raised his head, looked at Pang Lan who walked in front of him, blinked his eyes, showed a warm smile on his face, and said lightly: "It's okay, I just remembered the more interesting things in the past." ”

Pang Lan looked at Li Shen's smile, her little face suddenly turned red, and she immediately turned around and ran into the kitchen.

Li Shen looked at Pang Lan who fled in the wilderness, shook his head with a slight smile, reached out and touched his cheek, am I really super handsome now? Just a charming smile that makes this girl unable to extricate herself?

After coming to this mountain village for more than 20 days, Li Shen walked out of the room for the first time and looked at the small courtyard made of mud, which was covered with roses, and there was a pear tree in the courtyard, which was full of cyan pears.

It was cleaned, and even the firewood was neatly stacked in a shack in the corner of the courtyard wall.

Turning his head, he looked at the four houses made of thatched mud behind him, and I didn't know that year, the roof seemed to have been overturned, the thatch on top was new, the thatch below had long been blackened, and the mud on the walls was painted everywhere, and there were traces of falling off everywhere.

"It's really not ordinary poverty!"

Li Shen thought in his heart; The only pity is that bag of jewelry and silver, I don't know the cheap guy, fortunately, there is a jade pendant that has been taken, otherwise he really doesn't know how to be good.

Li Shen reached out and touched a piece of silver in his sleeve, he had to find some way to make money! It is estimated that fifty taels of silver will not last until two months.

The dilapidated courtyard door gives the impression that if you touch it casually, it will fall off the door frame and make a "crunch" sound when you push it open.

Li Shen watched the fat old man walk in with his back hunched, and shouted with a smile, "Old man Pang." ”

The fat old man nodded with a smile and said, "How is your body?" ”

"It's a lot better today."

"Nizi, make a cup of tea." The fat old man shouted loudly, walked to the door, picked up the stool that was placed aside, walked over to Li Shen's side with the stool, and sat down.

The fat old man looked Li Shen up and down, and Li Shen was a little flustered, and laughed a few times at his old man.

Old Man Pang looked at him with a hippie smile, and sighed in his heart, although he got along for a few days, this kid really had an appetite for him, if it was an ordinary family, it would be good if he had never married.

Watching Pang Lan play some tempers with him for a few days, he knew that if this kid didn't leave, he was afraid that his granddaughter would fall deeper and deeper, and it would be too late to regret it.

"It doesn't take you a few days to see you like this, what are your plans then?"

"Ugh"

Old Man Pang is trying to drive him away? He doesn't seem to have offended him these days, right? In addition, he paid him back double the medical expenses, and the improved food at home in a few days is also the money!

"I haven't figured out the details yet, so I want to live here for the time being."

As soon as Li Shen said it late, Old Man Pang's face darkened, glanced at him, and pouted slightly, Your granddaughter has taken a fancy to me, what can I do? You can't just say that you don't like me anymore, your grandfather doesn't agree to have an opinion on me, don't have other thoughts about me in the future, I guess if I really say that, Pang Lan is probably sad to death, after all, this is also her beautiful first love!

Old Man Pang looked at Li Shen, sighed in a low voice, and said: "You are a smart person, Nizi seems to be enchanted these days, our family is a poor person in the ravine, I don't want Nizi to continue to fall into it......"

"Old man Pang, I'm ......" Li Shen said helplessly, in the face of his life-saving benefactor, he really didn't know what to say, it was just a small request, and he couldn't refuse to leave after a few days of injury.

Li Shen nodded and said, "It is estimated that there are still a few days, and the injuries on my body should be almost healed, and the kid will say goodbye at that time." ”

"Grandpa, drink tea." Pang Lan walked out of the kitchen with a cup of tea.

Old Man Pang nodded with a smile, stood up, stretched out his hand to take the teacup, and said to Li Shen: "Bask in the sun, sleep for a while, and call you when you eat." He said to Pang Lan: "Go to the entrance of the village to see if your brother has returned." ”

Pang Lan let out an "oh" and walked out of the courtyard.

Li Shen sighed in a low voice, the world is so big, where is there a place for him to live! Now the situation outside is that his eyes are dark, he doesn't know anything, and he doesn't know what His Majesty Li Er's attitude is at the moment, which also makes him dare not appear in front of people rashly.

Besides, this place is also secluded enough, Li Shen knows that as long as his body is not seen, many people will not be able to come down and look for it with peace of mind, this is for sure. It is more than 100 kilometers away from Chang'an City, surrounded by green mountains, and it takes more than an hour to get out of the deep mountains.

He would never have thought that he would drift such a long distance in the river, the key is that there is no river nearby, but Old Man Pang and Pang Lan brought him back from outside the mountain.

At that time, Li Shen heard that he was carried back by the two, and he was really shocked when he knew that the mountain road was going south here, and he really didn't know what method their ancestors and grandchildren used for more than an hour on the mountain road.

Li Shen looked out through the small courtyard, the green water and green mountains, the air was fresh, and the roars of various beasts could be heard at night, except for the occasional threat of encountering wild beasts, it was estimated that this was really a place to retire, of course, wild beasts have all kinds of territory, and rarely enter the vicinity of the village.
