The eldest nephew ran away.

It's not to hide from the king's book. After Luo Yun just finished discussing the matter, he didn't rest at home because he had survived the most sleepy time. remembered that the ancestor was still waiting for him in the back mountain, so after saying goodbye to Aunt Mei, he immediately took Xiao You away. At this time, he was lying in the giant palm of the ancestor and sleeping soundly. Another amazing journey is waiting for him to wake up.

On this trip, because the ancestor had already gone to the east alone to collect medicine a few years earlier, he took Luo Yun directly to the direction of Taibai Mountain. According to the meaning of the ancestor, take Luo Yun to meet a few 'friends'. Not to mention the wonderful excitement along the way, what excites Luo Yun the most is that he can see more rare and exotic beasts hidden in the mountains and forests, and even those 'legends' that are only recorded but not seen. Heaven and earth are vast, mysterious and wonderful. Luo Yun has seen and heard less than half of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, if he repeats it one by one, I am afraid that not only will no one believe it, but Luo Yun's life in the world will be forgotten. Those who are really interested can search for several "Yunshan Chronicles" left by Luo Yun, and the wonderful and mysterious things may be glimpsed.

Yunshan Lijiazhai. Early the next morning after the arrival of the king, he woke up with a hangover. I heard a slight voice outside the house, and after dressing and washing, I went out to visit, and saw the man of Lijiazhai resisting the grain bag and going endlessly. Seeing that the old man Li Guangxiong was standing in front of the courtyard gate, the king saw that the old man was standing in front of the courtyard gate, so he stepped forward to greet him, and the two sides said good morning, and the king asked, "Second brother, this is ...... What are you busy with? ”

"Saving people is like fighting a fire, although my brother wants to stay with my brother for a few more days, I don't dare to delay my business, after all, there are still so many mouths waiting to eat in the county, so let the clansmen load the car for my brother early in the morning." Old Man Li stroked his beard and watched the clansmen coming and going to carry food, and a trace of distress flashed in the depths of his eyes.

The master of Wang, who is the best at observing faces, caught Li Guangxiong's gaze, showed a trace of admiration on his face, held Li Guangxiong's hand and said excitedly: "Brother benevolence, this grace of borrowing grain will not dare to be forgotten by the king." Second brother, rest assured, I and the county commander should use the official seal to draw a pledge, and when the yamen has surplus grain next year, we will be the first to return it to the Li family! ”

"Where does Brother Wang say foreign words. They are all neighbors and villagers, and it is appropriate to help each other. That's right, dude. I saw that my brother only brought six people over, and there was a lot of confusion outside. There are bandits stealing grain in my Li Jiazhai, and it is difficult to guarantee that there is still the strong man who saw the grain and robbed it on the road. I discussed it with my son, and Li Jiazhai sent twenty men to suppress those bandits to escort Wang Zhushu back. ”

Master Wang was overjoyed when he heard this: "The second brother has thought about it thoroughly, and with the strong escort of Li Jiazhai, this road can be safeguarded." After speaking, he suddenly reacted and asked, "Why did you install three cars?" I only brought ......"

Li Guanghao smiled and said, "Brother doesn't know, although two cars can fit in." But there are some exceptions in Lijiazhai, the mountain road is difficult to walk, if the grain truck is compacted, the body may not be able to support it under the bumps along the way. So we arranged another car. Ah, my brother must be hungry. I'll ask my daughter-in-law to cook some food for my brother, and I'll be in a hurry for a while. ”

Master Wang patted his belly and said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't worry." Last night's meal lasted me for two days, alas, how many days without alcohol, yesterday was a relief from cravings. ”

Li Guanghao smiled when he heard this: "Is the little bad wine brewed by himself also fed to the old brother wine worm?" Since my brother likes it, I'll ask Shiro to look for it again to see if my nephew still has it. ”

Master Wang's eyes lit up: "Speaking of your nephew...... I've heard about it in the county. I also went to school in my early years, right? I heard that my body has always been bad, but now I can run around. After all, he is a blessed man, can the second brother let him study again? Since your body is strong, you might as well go back to the county to study hard, maybe you can have a future in the future. ”

"Alas, my brother carries love. It's a pity ......" Li Guanghao shook his head, and when he saw that the king was puzzled, he smiled bitterly and said: "My nephew has a strange disease, and he doesn't look sick at all in the mountains, but if he comes out of the mountain...... But I couldn't afford to stay sick overnight. ”

Hearing such unheard of things, Master Wang couldn't help frowning, and was about to ask, but Li Zhensheng walked over. first made a subordinate salute to the king's master's book, and said, "Master's book, two carts of corn have been loaded." Deng Zhutou and my third brother are counting at the bottom of the mountain, when do you think we will go and count? ”

"Oh, so fast?" The king was surprised: "It's hard to go back and forth up and down this mountain. Have all the nephews eaten? Don't worry, just rest before loading. ”

Li Zhensheng was stunned when he heard this, looked at his father and showed a reserved smile, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Lord Treasurer, you don't need to worry about going up and down the mountain, the grain will go down by itself, and the loading will be very fast." ”

Master Wang was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Zhensheng, and then knocked on Li Guanghao, who was smiling with an unfathomable face, and asked curiously: "Could it be that the Li family will not be able to do anything by teleporting objects in the air?" ”

"Haha, where did my brother go. It's just some rough news (here refers to the agency news), the village carpenter learned from the ancients, and the Li family borrowed it for use. After Li Guanghao finished speaking, he flashed and waved his hand and made a gesture of please: "Come, brother." It's not far from here, and let's check it out. ”

"Then I'm going to see it." Wang Zhushu followed Li Guanghao and his son to the gate of the cottage with the team carrying grain. I saw that the grain carrying team stopped at the mountain of the gate of the cottage, and the grain was put into a large bamboo basket half a zhang long, and ten bags of grain were hoisted in a basket with a thick rope with a hook. At the end of the rope is a wooden roulette that is attached to a ropeway that extends down the mountain. The end of the ropeway on the gate is connected to a huge wooden bucket like a square seal. The bucket is filled with heavy things, four flat like a tripod, stable like a lump. The bucket is also equipped with movable wooden wheels, which divide the ropeway into two parts, both leading down the mountain.

Wang Zhushu climbed the gate of the walled village, looked the wooden bucket up and down with a surprised face, and watched a full bamboo basket row down the high ropeway to the foot of the mountain. More than a dozen people waiting there carried grain and loaded the truck, and they still had time to squat on the ground to rest, compared to the mountain side that needed to travel a little longer from the grain depot, which was more troublesome. "This, this thing is very convenient, very useful, very useful! Brother, I don't know who made this thing? ”

Old Man Li smiled modestly in the face of the praise of the king master, but his eyes couldn't hide a smug look: "Brother has won the award, this thing ...... Ao, it was made by a carpenter in my village. It is said that in the late Han Dynasty, Zhuge Wuhou used similar things to transport grain and grass in the Qi Mountains, and we just picked up the teeth and wisdom of our predecessors, not enough teeth, hehe"

What Zhuge Wuhou's wooden ox and flowing horse look like, Luo Yun has never seen it. There was no such thing in his memories that came to him from time to time. But this time it wasn't like the old man who threw a stone at him. It's with an uncle who loves to wear black linen clothes. This uncle came with many disciples and came to ask him for iron and stone on the mountain.

Iron and stone are useless, and it also affects him to plant trees. So it was given to them. Luo Yun remembered that the uncle and his disciples made such a thing on the mountain to carry the excavated iron and stone.

Later, I heard that the uncle went to compete with the old man, and I don't know who won.

The bucket truck seen in the king's book is only used to transport goods down the mountain, and if the pulley on the mountain is replaced with a wooden wheel that can be rotated by manpower, the goods can be lifted from the bottom of the mountain, and the principle is basically the same as that of the crane. This is the second engineering tool developed by Luoyun and Zhang's family after the tower crane.

At the beginning of the hour, Li Guangxiong and Li Guanghao saw off Wang Zhushu and his party in front of the gate of the valley village. The king may have been apprehensive when he came, but when he left, he was full of ambition and returned with a full load. Three ox carts loaded with more than 100 stone of grain, and Li Zhensheng and Li Zhenxing led more than 20 people of the Li family to escort a group of robbers to the county seat with the king's book. Of course, they also had to bring back the ox cart and ...... An IOU issued by the county government.

After Li Jiazhai sent away the king's book, the two old men gave an order at the door of the ancestral hall with the sun on their heads: be sure to end the building of each family before the end of the month, and start autumn ploughing in July, regardless of whether it rains or not, use the last bit of water in the reservoir to start autumn ploughing.

The patriarch said that the drought is coming to an end. After Luo Yun entered the mountain, he first went to Yuanwu and Bai Yang's house, of course, mainly to meet the culprit Yonghe, who caused all this. It was found that Yonghe, who had grown to more than a meter tall, really began to lose hair, and the newly grown hair was no longer golden. On the subsequent trip to the mountains, Luo Yun was fortunate to see a divine beast again, a herald auspicious - Qingluan.

In September of the seventh year of the Tang Dynasty, on the day of the cold dew, when Zichou was ugly, there was a blizzard. Fluttering like flying flakes, the pieces are like goose feathers, covering the sky and the sun, enveloping the four fields. The snow continued for three days and two nights, and the ground was three feet thick. Before the famine in Guanzhong passed, the heavy snow collapsed countless houses, frostbite and death were uncountable, but in despair, people suddenly saw well water gushing, the river tide rose, and the drought finally ended.

On the night of heavy snowfall, Luo Yun was in the Yuanwu Cave Mansion, and personally picked off the last pinch of golden retriever on the tip of Yonghe's tail. At this point, the disaster brought by Yonghe was completely over. The golden-haired beast Yonghe turned into an ape with black hair and white mane, seemingly ordinary and ordinary. Luo Yun stared at the golden hair in his palm, and squinted at the little guy who was warming up in Bai Yang's arms. In the end, it was a fierce beast recorded in ancient times, and it didn't count the drought that brought it, but it actually brought such a heavy snow to the heavens and the earth. The drought is over, but how many people have to freeze to death. Although it is already a good time for autumn ploughing in September, if you rush to plant some seeds, the farmers will still be able to harvest some grain in the coming year. But the snow buried the fields deeply, and although the snow moistened the thirsty earth, the ensuing cold winter only made the fields freeze and stiffen, making the farmers work harder.

He sighed helplessly and shook his head, what could he change. Heaven is impermanent, and it does not operate according to human desires. It was a fluke that he could try his best to keep Yunshan's side safe, and how could he manage this world.

Finally, this time Li Jiazhai made the right bet and still planted autumn wheat as in previous years. This heavy snow will not affect Lijiazhai, so as long as the year is good next year, Lijiazhai will definitely be able to harvest a bumper harvest. After coming and going, the accumulation of basic wealth in Lijiazhai is basically completed. Then, the restaurant, which had been delayed for a whole year, was finally able to open.

At the end of September, Luo Yun returned to Yunshan. The heavy snowfall at the beginning of the month was so heavy that the shacks next to the warm water pool in the back mountain collapsed. When Yuanwu sent Luo Yun back, he saw this picture, Luo Yun sighed and didn't say anything, and asked Yuanwu to help dig out the big barrel of fruit wine stored in the shed, temporarily find a tree hole to store, and then bid farewell to Yuanwu and went home. Back to the cottage, fortunately, this year, Lijiazhai built a new house or renovated it as early as possible, and cleaned it in time when it snowed, and finally there was no collapse.

A few days later, Luo Yun found Uncle Wu and Carpenter Zhang's family to go to Houshan to build a new shack. When I came to the waterhole, I found that the shack that had been buried by the heavy snow had been re-erected. The snow was cleared, and a shack was built under the shade of three large trees, which was even larger than the original one. Luo Yun took a breath of cool air, and sighed in his heart: This favor is owed, no matter how much Yonghe is excessive, it is difficult for him to be difficult for his parents.

In the blink of an eye, the wax moon passed, and the Zhengdan clan meeting was naturally a congratulatory and joyful celebration. The third uncle, Li Zhencai, who had been held back for a whole year, once again raised the issue of the opening of the restaurant, and this time, as expected, there was no opposition. However, for the sake of safety, after discussion, it was decided to wait until after the summer grain harvest before opening. Taking advantage of this time, Lijiazhai also restocked fish and chickens and ducks. During the drought, in order to reduce consumption, the poultry of each household was also reduced by more than half. Of course, most of them were sold in the county before the drought came. Although Li Zhencai was anxious, he also knew that he was in a hurry. After all, the most important point is that the empty restaurant standing on the side of the official road was also collapsed by the snow, and it had to be rebuilt.

However, the plan could not catch up with the changes, although in March and April, Li Zhencai took people down the mountain to repair the restaurant, although it was generally cleaned up and barely able to open the door to attract customers, but then it was May when the farm was busy. At this time, no one can spare the energy to open a restaurant. However, Li Zhencai was anxious until June, and was ready to go down the mountain to open a store. The news that the second uncle Li Zhensheng brought back from the county gave Luo Yun a new idea.

In the hall of Li Zhensheng's house, Luo Yun poured himself a teapot and drank duck foot tea. said: "Third uncle, we have been preparing for so long, why not wait another month." Using this month's time to transform the original small restaurant into a large restaurant, and taking the opportunity to spread the reputation, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone. ”

Li Zhencai frowned and said impatiently: "Last year, I said that I would open a store to sell porridge, but you didn't agree. This year, you will have to substitute grain for labor in exchange for the labor of others, so that you are not afraid of hungry people grabbing food? ”

It turned out that Li Zhensheng, who had already been confirmed to be promoted to the county government, but was not sure what position he held, got accurate information from the Wang master book. Although the villages in the county barely planted grain after the snow last year, there were too many people who came out to beg for food, and only a limited number of people rushed back to cultivate in time. Moreover, even if it is planted, this year's harvest is very dismal because of the wrong season. Although the imperial court is still exempt from taxes this year, the people can only struggle to survive. Originally, the purpose of the Wang master's book to inform Li Zhensheng of this matter was to tell him: It is difficult in the county this year to pay for the grain of Lijiazhai, so let Lijiazhai not rush to ask for it.

But after Luo Yun learned of this situation, he thought carefully and decided to postpone the opening of the restaurant, and the last thing Li Jiazhai lacked now was food. Now it's not the tragic situation of last year's hungry people almost changing their children and eating, although life is difficult, but each family still has something to eat. In this environment, why not play a cash-for-work method. Although Luo Yun hadn't been to the Li family's small restaurant, he knew that it was just a simple shack style when he heard the brothers come back and described it, but the yard was big enough to park and put horses, but the dining hall was inevitably simple. Instead of thinking about renovating when you have money in the future, it is better to take advantage of the cheap labor now and directly build the restaurant bigger.

As soon as Luo Yun said his thoughts, Li Zhencai rolled his eyes and pondered for a long time, and nodded fiercely: "Okay, then wait." I'm going to calculate how much food I need to take out to recruit workers, and the craftsmen are still looking for Gao Zhe, who are all old acquaintances, and I'll discuss with him about building materials, and let the second brother find a way in the county. I went. After speaking, Li Zhencai went out in a hurry. Luo Yun smiled, drank the tea leisurely, suddenly frowned, put down the teapot and decided to go home to practice calligraphy.

This restaurant is really going to be built, and if you don't hang a couplet at the door, it won't be like that. In this era, people are popular with inscriptions, and this kind of long-faced work must be reserved for the adults in the county. Take the posts on both sides of this gate yourself. But what is a good couplet to write?
