The drizzle was drizzling, and the old willows outside the door were just showing green tips. In Lijia Village, east of Xianyang County, in a small dilapidated courtyard, Li Sheng opened his eyes in a daze, and his headache was terrible. Li Sheng looked around and found that it was very unfamiliar, and wanted to look up and see what it was.

He was just about to get up, only to feel that the sky was spinning, and a wave of dizziness and nausea hit him instantly. Fragments surged in my head, like a movie, and unfamiliar images were constantly replaying in my mind.

"Li Jiawa! Li Jiawa! ”

Just when Li Sheng hadn't turned around, he could only hear the shouts of a Chinese dialect outside the house. Li Sheng thought to himself, I am a native of Henan, when have I ever met a person from Shaanxi. Just when he was wondering, one was wearing a sheepskin coat with a very retro style. A man with a bun on his head, a beard on his face, and a burly figure entered the house.

As soon as Li Sheng saw this person, a name instantly popped up in his mind, Guan Lao Wu. Some snippets of him also appeared in the mind. Guan Lao Wu's next-door neighbor, the fragment in his brain shows that this person is a warm-hearted person who takes care of himself very much.

However, these memories made Li Sheng very uncomfortable. Because, another memory told him that he did not know this person. He was also told that he had never seen a man dressed and dressed like this.

"Baby, why are you looking at me like this? I don't know! After Guan Lao Wu finished speaking, he sat on Li Sheng's bed. Reached out and touched Li Sheng's head.

"Isn't that not burning? Why do you still have porcelain and linen? ”

When Guan Lao Wu sat in front of Li Sheng, a particularly heavy smell of mutton blew on Li Sheng's face at once, and Li Sheng was out of breath. The originally pale face flushed instantly.

"Hey, this face is also red, and it looks like a good column. Then I'll get you some food columns, and it doesn't matter. ”

After Guan Lao Wu finished speaking, he got up and walked out. When he came to the door, he said, "Don't go out, I'll be back in a moment." ”

Li Sheng didn't hear Guan Lao Wu's instructions. Because the memories in his head are constantly changing. A memory told him that his name was Li Sheng, a native of Lijia Village, Xianyang County, during the Zhenguan period, his mother died early, and his father Li Erhu was a government soldier. Now I have gone out to fight with the army, and I have been gone for half a year.

But another memory told him that his name was Li Sheng, born in 1986, born in Henan, a staff member of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, with a happy family and an obedient daughter. It's just that he got leukemia, and although he received donations from the society, he still died. I came to the Tang Dynasty,

After a long time, Li Sheng sighed, looked at the roof in a daze, and the tears in the corners of his eyes slowly fell. Because he finally understood, he crossed over. In his previous life, he was already dead, and Li Sheng at this time was also dead. It should have been burned to death with a high fever, but the body was occupied by itself.

Li Sheng thought in his heart, crossing is the dream of many people in the previous life, but why can't he be happy? I still can't bear my relatives in my previous life, but so what, I died.

He's dead!

A voice of unwillingness sounded in Li Sheng's heart. He remembered the tears of his parents, the reluctance of his wife, and he seemed to hear the cry of his seven-year-old daughter again. Li Sheng's heart seemed to be pierced by a knife, and his throat seemed to be blocked by something, making him unable to cry.

After a long time, Li Sheng was finally tired, his weak body could no longer bear the sadness, and he gradually fell asleep. In the dream, he returned to the hospital room of his previous life, his daughter was doing her homework with a pen, and his wife was guiding her daughter. The corners of Li Sheng's mouth showed a smile, how beautiful it was in his dream. But he couldn't go back.

A few days later, Li Sheng's illness was completely cured, and he sat under the locust tree in the courtyard, stupidly not speaking. My mind is constantly reminiscing about my past life and this life.

Guan Lao Wu glanced at Li Sheng through the low earthen courtyard wall, sighed, and looked a little sad. Since Li Sheng was able to get out of bed, he sat in the courtyard without saying anything for three days. Every time Guan Lao Wu came to deliver food to Li Sheng, he would see Li Sheng like this, and he couldn't help but feel a little impatient.

Isn't it just sick? Why did you burn out your brain? Why do you want me to explain to Brother Erhu? Guan Lao Wu couldn't help but think.

"Coward, eat. Don't be stupid. Look at it again, the acacia flowers can't bloom. ”

"Fifth Uncle Guan, thank you for taking care of me these days, win, I am very grateful." Li Sheng saw Guan Lao Wu come in, carrying a crockpot in his hand. got up and bowed deeply to Guan Lao Wu.

"Ah, the cowardly baby spoke. Hahaha....... The Angzang-like man, with red eyes at the corners, laughed out loud.

Li Sheng looked at the man in this level and laughed sincerely. sighed secretly, or the ancients were simple. There is no hint of falsification.

"Uncle Guan's love today, if there is an inch of progress, he will definitely be a grass ring, and he will never be ungrateful." Li Sheng somehow, the words of the ancient text came as soon as he opened his mouth.

"The coward, worthy of being a reader, speaks differently. However, don't say anything about repaying your kindness, your father entrusted you to me, and I should take care of you. Besides, it's not your turn to repay your kindness, that's your father's business, wait for him to come back after earning military merits. Don't try to send me away without ten pounds of wine. ”

After Guan Lao Wu finished speaking, he glanced at the crockpot in his hand and said, "Baby, your aunt has boiled you some chicken soup, and if you don't eat it, it will be cold." ”

Li Sheng took the crockpot, bowed to the old five families next door, and stopped talking, sat in the courtyard, opened the crockpot, and saw a black rice ball soaked in chicken soup, and he didn't know what to do. Li Sheng didn't like it was too delicious and unpalatable, so he ate it with his head down.

Just when Li Sheng was eating, Guan Lao Wu frowned on the side, as if he had something to say and stopped, and finally gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind.

"Shengwazi, now that spring is in spring, what are you going to do with your field?" After Guan Lao Wu finished speaking, he seemed to remember something, and said: "I want to ask you, how do you plan to farm, do you hire someone to help you farm, or do you farm yourself?" ”

Li Shengleng paused for a moment, and only then did he know after thinking about it for a while. In this era, my family is already a well-off family. There are fifty acres of Yongye land, all of which were earned by Li Sheng's current father as a soldier. Coupled with the 100 mu stipulated in the Tang Dynasty's "Rent Adjustment" system, a total of 150 mu.

Fifty acres of Yongye land was earned by Li Sheng's father's military exploits, and there was no tax. In this way, Li Sheng's family will have a large balance every year after paying enough taxes. This is very large just relative to the people of the same village.

Li Sheng didn't think about it, so he said: "Hire people, there are too many acres, I can't do it myself." ”

Just kidding, one hundred and fifty acres. In his previous life, as a graduate of the Agricultural College, Li Sheng knew what the concept of one hundred and fifty mu was, although the number of acres in the Tang Dynasty was not as large as the number of acres in later generations. In this underdeveloped Tang Dynasty, so many fields can directly exhaust people.

When he heard this, Guan Lao Wu's ears were different. Guan Lao Wu said with a smile: "Shengwazi, how much grain do you plan to pay to hire people?" ”

Li Sheng was stunned again, and quickly rummaged through his memory and found that there was no memory of this aspect. Most of the memories in Li Sheng's mind in this life are Ziyue Shiyun, and he really has no memory of this.

"Fifth uncle, win, don't do farming. How many do you think is appropriate? ”

Guan Lao Wu said cautiously: "Usually, when the year is good, the strong labor is a bucket and a half meter a day, and I can't say how much to give in a famine year." I think it's good to give a bucket and a half. What do you think? ”

Li Sheng thought about it for a while, there were still thirty-five stone grain and rice at home, and according to the weight of later generations, there were about 4,300 catties of grain. If you take a bucket and a half a day, it is about 9.3 kilograms. After Li Sheng finished counting this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the labor force of the ancient people was too worthless.

"Fifth uncle, how much is a bucket of rice?" After Li Sheng finished thinking about it, he wanted to know how much rice was priced, because he wanted to know how much a person at this time would pay a day's salary.

"Four dollars for a bucket of rice. What's the baby? What is this, you ask? Don't have food at home? ”

Li Sheng didn't answer Guan Lao Wu, because when he heard that a bucket of rice was only four yuan, his heart was shocked. It's too cheap to do it. In other words, it is only a salary of more than 20 yuan a day.

(Actually, it's not that the author is talking nonsense, in ancient times, compared with the current prices, this is really about these.) ）

"Fifth uncle, give two buckets. They are all from the villagers, and I am already grateful to be able to help. ”

Guan Lao listened, his heart was excited, this is food, if it is a famine year, a bucket of grain can make a person last for more than 20 days. In fact, Li Sheng is not to blame, he has never been starved, and he has not seen the scene of starving to death. Naturally, he couldn't understand Guan Lao Wu's love for food.

"Good! I'll help you find someone, and your field will not be delayed. After Guan Lao Wu finished speaking, he left in a hurry as if he was afraid that Li Sheng would regret it.

Li Shengyao Yaotou, I feel that Guan Lao Wu is very funny, and it is only more than 20 yuan a day, what is there to be excited about. In the blink of an eye, he thought of his previous life again, staring at the crockpot in his hand, and lost the slightest appetite.

Guan Lao Wu walked very fast, and he didn't come back slowly. As soon as he entered the courtyard of Li Sheng's house, he said loudly: "The nephew of the Li family, the fifth uncle has done the work." Fifteen people are strong laborers, and in four or five days, your field will be finished. If you prepare the seeds, your cattle will not be counted as a grain column in the fifth uncle's house. However, you have to count other people's families. ”

Li Sheng then remembered that when Li Erhu left, in order to let his son study well. entrusted the cow to Guan Lao Wu and gave him a load of grain. Guan Lao Wu and his wife are also grateful to Li Erhu. Because the cows only need to eat some grass, and the grain is solid. Therefore, Guan Lao Wu got the benefits and took good care of Li Sheng. However, even if there is no food, Guan Lao Wu will not ignore Li Sheng.

After the matter was finalized, Li Sheng wanted to give Guan Lao Wu some food again, and wanted to thank him for taking care of him in the past few days. Guan Lao Wu not only didn't want to live or die, but also said with a displeased face: "Shengwazi, you are young, and the fifth uncle will not give you general knowledge." If you dare to humiliate me like this, my eldest son will slap him. After speaking, he left in a huff, leaving the bewildered Li Sheng wandering in the wind.

There is no way, the ancients were so upright, and the husband did not eat the food that came to him. The modern mind cannot understand this problem. Originally, you helped me, and I thanked you with things and property, which is normal now. But it didn't work in the time of the ancients, especially the Tang Dynasty.

Early the next morning, Li Sheng relied on his memory and came to the field at home outside the village. Saw a group of people waiting for them in front of the field. Guan Lao Wu saw Li Sheng and walked over angrily.

"Nephew of the Li family, everyone has been waiting for you for a long time, why did you come? What about the grain you have brought? ”

Li Sheng was stunned, he wanted grain now. If the ground is not ploughed, will it be sown? How do they farm the land? Several questions arose in Li Sheng's heart. In the memory, I found what I had learned in my previous life, and I suddenly became enlightened.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was no such thing as intensive cultivation. That is, the ground is turned over with an iron ploughshare, and then the seeds are sown in the ground with a cocoon.

Li Sheng glanced at the tools brought by Guan Lao Wu and the others, and the corners of his mouth twitched. The iron ploughshare and the three-legged cart are bulky and impractical. Take the three-legged cocoon as an example, not only the person who supports the cocoon, but also the person who supports the cocoon keeps shaking the cocoon, so that the seeds will go down the leak and the seeds will be sown unevenly.

After Li Sheng finished reading these tools, he said to Guan Lao Wu: "Fifth uncle, don't do it today, and talk about it tomorrow." ”

"What's wrong? Everyone is here, you say you won't do it? You can't come up with a reason, even though I'm not you, I'm going to have to smoke you. ”

Li Sheng said with a smile: "Fifth uncle, don't be angry, listen to your nephew's arrival first, the farm tools you use are too cumbersome and impractical." I'm looking for a craftsman to make some new farming tools, which are your plows and cokes. After doing a good job, it will definitely be less labor-saving than yours, and it will work again. Plough deeper, sow more evenly. ”

"Baby, you're talking about an artifact, right?"

"Fifth uncle, is there a carpenter in the village?"

Guan Lao looked straight at Li Sheng, seeing that there was no trace of timidity on Li Sheng's face, and said heavily: "I believe you once, you go with me." ”

Li Sheng bowed to the others and said, "I'm tired of many villagers, so I'll run empty." Victory is here to apologize. ”

The others kindly forgave Li Sheng. The reason why Li Sheng didn't mention the lost time pay was because it was an insult.
