Datang Guoguanzhong, south of Jiufeng Township, Xuwu County, Gyeonggi Province, Yunshan Lijiazhai.

From this detailed address note alone, you can see how remote Lijiazhai is. Because generally the more prosperous and famous the place, the abbreviated the address of its annotation. Iconic, as long as Chang'an is mentioned, everyone knows that it is the capital of the Tang Dynasty and the capital of Gyeonggi Province, so there is no need for more annotations. If you think it's too outrageous to use a capital and a cottage, then switch to a place that is also in the mountains. For example, to Zhongnan Mountain or Shouyang Mountain or Taibai Mountain, this is also a world-famous mountain and river, everyone knows that these mountains live some immortal masters who cultivate and refine pills.

And what about Yunshan? Who knows where this mountain is, and what kind of mountain barbarians live on the mountain.

After talking so much nonsense, I just want to tell everyone that Yunshan Lijiazhai is really remote. But if such a place is well run, it can become a paradise.

Li Zhensheng, who had read Tao Qian's poems and articles in the academy, looked at the scene in the valley at this moment, and couldn't help but think of those sentences: mulberry and bamboo follow farming, and grass can be used at any time. The silkworms harvest filaments in spring, and the king taxes are ripe in autumn. The desert road is full of traffic, and chickens and dogs bark at each other. The scene of Taoyuan, this is the scene of Taoyuan. Li Zhensheng sighed and exhaled with comfort. This Li family finally took another step in his hands. His eldest brother Li Zhenping grew up in troubled times, and he took the whole clan to hide in the deep mountains with bravery, killed many looting bandits and rebels, and kept the whole village safe. Finally, the world was peaceful, the eldest brother married a wife and had children, but unfortunately this good life could not live for a few years, and it was a conquest in the Tang Dynasty and Sui, and the dynasty was fixed, and the wife and son were filial piety for only a few years, so they were both taken away by the mountain god.

As soon as the February sting passed, Lijiazhai gathered all the strong labor to repair the reservoir, and finally completed it completely before the wheat harvest in May. Now that the autumn grain is in storage, with the help of the waterwheel built by Daddy Zhang, the rainwater and spring water stored in the rainy season are continuously irrigated into the farmland in the mountains, which is more than half easier than in previous years. However, in the end, all the slopes were not converted into terraces, and after the reservoir was built, the effect was tested by borrowing a water wheel. The Li brothers discussed it again, and felt that there was really no need to make more effort, although there were benefits, but it did look like a bit of a superfluous move. Since Luo Yun had not returned at that time, several elders did not have to care about the face of the person who made the idea, considering that the Li family had basically emptied the family foundation by building a reservoir, they decided to maintain the status quo. However, the few acres of paddy fields in the clan have been renovated, so it is of some use.

At this time, it was already the end of June, and as in previous years, the migrant workers who went out to work, and those who stayed at home were busy farming, and the farm work was much more brisk, and they could harvest more vegetables before the autumn planting, and there were a few more dishes on the dinner table. Li Zhensheng took a look at the hillside and walked down the mountain. The third child was sent out by him to collect fish fry, and this reservoir can't just be used to store water, wouldn't it be too wasteful. There are also chickens and ducks bought by the partnership this time, Luo Yun gave this suggestion as soon as he came back, and he didn't know if it would work. Raising chickens in cages on the surface of the water is really ...... Provincial localities. In a few months, Luo Yun's chickens distributed to each family last year should be recycled with 'interest', but should this restaurant be opened? My father didn't give an opinion, he was almost the same as the third uncle, he would drink tea every day, and he didn't say anything superfluous.

The old man of the Li family, who was slandered by his son, really sat with the third child and drank tea at this time. In the backyard of Luo Yun's house, he drank the 'duck foot tea' boiled by Luo Yun. As soon as the autumn tiger came, the two old men were a little angry, and when Luo Yun knew about it, he used some herbs brought back and the specially collected ginkgo biloba to prepare such a blood pressure and fire tea. Because the ginkgo biloba resembles a duck's foot, it is so nicknamed.

Luo Yun only knew that ginkgo biloba was commonly found in herbs, but he didn't know if anyone used it to make tea. Anyway, looking at the two old men who were honored by him, it seemed that they had never heard of this kind of tea. His 'running away from home' this time is really a bit outrageous, and the elders in the clan are very worried, not to mention Aunt Mei and Uncle Wu. Although he had always had a letter sent back, because no one had ever seen the ape who delivered the letter, it made the people in the village think that he had been brought to the fairy world by the immortals. One day in the sky, one year underground, and when their Young Master Yun comes back from cultivating the immortal law, they don't know if they have the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.

In this case, Luo Yun suddenly returned home in the night. Triggered Shocks...... Not only surprises, but also the anger of the elders. Although this anger was also out of concern for him, Luo Yun was still struck three boards by the second grandfather in his room, called 'family law'. Although it is to avoid outsiders, the one-inch-wide black paulownia solid board is really painful to hit the body. Luo Yun understood why there were so many torture instruments in the yamen, and the most commonly used was to play the board, which was simple and effective.

At least Luo Yun couldn't go out for a day under the premise of the second grandfather's mercy, and he was in a faint pain for three days, and now his fine skin and tender flesh can be seen bruising. But fortunately, it was mixed up, as for the senior he said accompanied the traveler...... Whether everyone believes it or not, that's what everyone wants anyway. However, Uncle Wu, who later came back from hunting in the mountains, told him an unexpected news, that by the warm water pool, someone had erected a grass hut, and a group of monkeys surrounded it.

After Luo Yun found out, he never looked at it. Because the night he came back, Aunt Mei's eyes were swollen from crying, and she was seriously ill. So during this time, Luo Yun returned to the days when he first woke up, and every day he didn't go out of the door, he stayed at home to accompany Aunt Mei. But the role is reversed, it was originally Aunt Mei who took care of him who was recovering, and now he is taking care of Aunt Mei, who is sick and weak. Thanks to Luoyun's persistence, his housework skills quickly improved to a level during this time. Three meals a day can already cook two meals, of course, they only eat two, but if you count the medicine that Luo Yun boiled for Aunt Mei, it can barely meet the standard.

The days were dull, and there were so many years of burning passion there. Looking back now, the few months I spent with the ancestor were really like a dream, and I saw so many rare beasts, flowers and plants. Sometimes standing in the courtyard and looking up at the mountains, Luo Yun would sigh that the colorful and gorgeous world was so close to mortal life, but so far away. It is said that opposites attract, and similarities repel. Why is that strange world and the mortal world getting along with each other, but instead of attracting each other, they are getting farther and farther apart. It was as if humans were taking a step closer to them, and they would retreat until one day in the future when there was no way back, when ...... This strange world has disappeared from the eyes of mankind.

Luo Yun was holding the teapot and looking at the sky and was distracted, and the second grandfather next to him coughed lightly several times and was stunned but didn't hear it, but the old man had to knock on the handrail and call out. "Luo Yun—"

"Huh? Ao, grandpa drinks tea" Luo Yun, who came back to his senses, habitually picked up the teapot to add tea to the old man, and when he turned his head, he saw that the teacup had not moved, and it was still full.

The two old men shook their heads with tears and laughter, they were originally quite clever children, but when they came back from this trip, they were stunned at every turn, and they originally thought that they were entangled by something unclean. But when Luo Yun was not distracted, he was fine and there was nothing abnormal, it seemed that he had something on his mind, but he refused to say it, and no one could force him to be not. "Luo Yun, the development in the village is very good now, and your third grandfather and I are relieved. The world is peaceful, the warehouse is full, and the children and grandchildren are full, and this good day can be regarded as catching up. The two of us are also blessed people, and now I look forward to you children growing up and starting a family, and when that day comes, your second grandfather can go to the ground with a smile to meet your grandfather. ”

"What the second grandfather said, the second elder is in good health and has a rich life. This good day is still to come, how can I live to be one hundred and twenty years old, this day is still long, what do you want to enter the earth now? Bah, the land lord didn't hear it. This Li family, my second uncle, is still counting on the two grandfathers to support the beams. Luo Yun laughed and coaxed the two old men. But to be honest, although fifty years old at this time is considered an advanced age, the second elder is indeed in good health. Li Jiazhai is now worry-free about food and clothing, and the second elder does not need to do the farm work himself. With such peace of mind, you will live a long life naturally.

"Hahaha, why did you kid go out and learn more slippery with this mouth. Looks like you're flattering that senior, right? If you want to say that you are in the ground, it's really a pity now, right? The old man tilted his head sideways and glanced at the third grandfather with a smile in his eyes.

The third grandfather understood, pretended to sigh heavily, and said in an unrelieved tone: "But isn't it, if you can't see that day, you won't be able to lie in the coffin." ”

Luo Yun was confused, now Lijiazhai should be an unprecedented moment of prosperity, what is worthy of the two 'Taishang' so worried: "What is it that makes the two grandfathers so worried?" ”

"Well, it's not just a few of you. Li Jian has been married to his wife for so many years, and he has no heirs. Chenglin, Kun'er and you are all at the age when it is time to start a family. If we didn't hold our great-grandson on this day, how could we feel at ease. The old man said such a thing that was out of tune in Luo Yun's eyes with a tone of hatred, which really made him speechless. His brothers didn't marry him...... It's really about him, but you can't blame him entirely. I want to hold my grandson, but Cousin Li Jian doesn't work hard and doesn't go to him to tell me what to do.

Luo Yun rolled his eyes, poured himself a cup of tea, and didn't answer. But the two idle old men were unrelenting in chattering. The implication is that Luo Yun can wait for a year, but Li Chenglin and Li Kun must marry a daughter-in-law this year. Listening to the two old men come to a conclusion talking to themselves, Luo Yun couldn't help but turn around and roll his eyes again. Although the weight of the words of the two old men is not small, as far as Luo Yun knows, his cousins really have no plans to get married this year, and this issue seems to be about to cause a family conflict.

Thinking about his cousins, the eldest Li Jian accompanied the third uncle and Carpenter Zhang's family into the county to prepare for the sale of the cart. Next to the Qinling Mountains are full of hills and mountains, there are many slopes, and there are many rivers, so this thing should be quite marketable. Li Chenglin stayed in the village to help his second uncle, and the output of raising poultry, raising silkworms and weaving, and distributing grain began to take over one by one. Li Kun did the work of delivering goods, and sent the purchased fish fry and chickens and ducks into the mountains one by one.

It should be said that they are all busy with their careers, and they don't plan to spend this year's Chinese Valentine's Day, counting on them to get married? It's hard.

This kind of small family conflict may still be a topic after tea and dinner in Lijiazhai. But out of Yunshan, no one cares about this little thing, and they won't even inquire. However, God doesn't seem to be ready to let Luo Yun's small life be so nourishing, and in the midst of the wind and clouds, God remembered a rule he set: the way of heaven is impermanent. In layman's terms: when you want to do something, create some obstacles for you to test you. Of course, the words summarized by the ancestors are: life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten.

It's hard to have anything go completely smoothly, and there will always be all kinds of obstacles, both in one person and in one country. Since the dynasty was established, it has only been a few years since the world was truly peaceful? In the first two years, Li Jing was fortunate to relieve the Turkic worries in the First War, but he caught up with natural disasters to make people. In the past two years, as soon as it has recovered some vitality, the Taishi Bureau has reported bad news again: there will be a great drought. And it should be in Gyeonggi Province at this pass.

This kind of weather forecast for the coming year is more convincing to the people of the present generation than the 21st Century TV forecast for tomorrow. The results of the Taishi Shiguan's night stargazing made the emperor and courtiers dare not doubt it. Since ancient times, human beings have been watching, speculating, and figuring out the will of heaven to live. And the Taishi Bureau is a yamen dedicated to the emperor's will to see the will of heaven, so you can't believe it. As a result, Taishi Shiguan wrote a book, which directly disrupted the entire early dynasty. The ministers were disturbed, and the emperor was worried. Aside from those few subtle suspicions, the prime ministers have begun to discuss with the emperor how to resist natural disasters. The heavens will descend and it will be difficult for the people to ...... Don't even try to hide.

However, despite the heated discussions of the courtiers, the news of this natural disaster was concealed. Why? The people's hearts must not be disturbed, this is a prediction of next year's disaster, even if there is no sign now, it cannot let the people know that they are going to suffer a disaster. Otherwise, even if the imperial court is ready to deal with everything, it will be difficult to ensure that the feet of this Chang'an emperor will not be chaotic. Therefore, no matter how anxious and busy the Taiji Palace is, the market and countryside are all peaceful. Unless the signs of a natural disaster are revealed, mortals will never know that they will experience a calamity next year or tomorrow.

In the seventh year of the Tang Dynasty, there will be a great drought. I just don't know if Luo Yun, who is in Yunshan, can know the news one step ahead of others, and whether he can let Li Jiazhai spend it safely.
