Chapter 23: The Spring Festival of the First Year

This winter actually passed very quickly, and it was also very incredible for the villagers. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the past, they had nothing to do most of the time in winter, so it was inevitable that they felt that the winter was long, and the whole winter was actually to survive. Now they feel that this winter has passed in a blink of an eye, and they don't know why there is such a change.

Clever as Ouyang Xing and Zu Lang understood that there were too many things they needed to do this winter. It's either training or reading, and the time every day is compressed to the extreme, so it's no wonder that there is such a feeling of fulfillment.

At the end of this winter, every villager will at least learn to write their own name, and even learn a lot of etiquette. Even some basic rules are understood, such as drinking water when it is hot, and washing it when it is hot even if it is in a bath.

There are parasites in the water, especially in the Jiangnan area, where schistosomiasis is widespread in many areas. To put it mildly, from the Guangling area of Xuzhou to the huge southern region, almost all freshwater fish may have parasites. During the Three Kingdoms period, Guangling Taishou Chen Deng liked to eat sashimi, but he hung up because of parasitic diseases.

Now that these mountain people are coming down the mountain, who else dares to say that they are barbarians. Compared with them, those ordinary people who live under the oppression of the family and live in the desert of knowledge are more like barbarians.

They are vulgar because I gave up. They are foolish because they are powerless to resist. They don't think too much about things, the peasants only think about the constant farming, the workers only know the constant selling of their labor, they never think about why they live like this, why they live like this.

The rise of the cold is not so easy, let alone the people. In this era, the Hanmen barely came out, and the children of the family almost occupied all the official positions of the Han Dynasty!

Li Yu can't look at it, even if it is a change of dynasty, the family is still a family, and they will continue to oppress those people for their interests and make them continue to be numb. The peasants only need to plough the land, and the soldiers only need to kill the enemy. If people continue to live numbly, they will have the opportunity to continue to enjoy glory and wealth!

There is no point in changing the dynasty, only a few people will benefit, and what is needed in this era is revolution!

It's a pity that even so, even if Li Yu has a revolutionary heart and revolutionary enthusiasm, he can't show it. In the final analysis, it is still the power he has at this stage, which is still too small!

It's not without good news, those villagers whose families are in other villages will occasionally leave their relatives. The change in the village is very obvious, and it brings the envy and yearning of other villages. Knowing that they could learn knowledge here, and knowing that Li Yu had a way to get cheap salt and iron, even if they were resistant to the public ownership of land, they could not hide their yearning for this place.

In this way, after the beginning of spring, Li Yu asked for a merger, and the resistance would be much lower.

In the blink of an eye, winter has passed, and in the blink of an eye, Chinese New Year's Eve has come, and on this day, Li Yu has also accumulated 22755 prestige points. There are 986 villagers who are his admirers, as well as Anu who is a devout believer, who receives nearly 15,000 reputation points every month.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, the Eastern Han Dynasty did not have the habit of pasting couplets this year, after all, paper was too expensive. Therefore, even if it is hung, it is mainly hung with peach charms, and the words "Shen Tu" and Yu Lei are written on it to suppress evil and avoid ghosts.

In the past, Zu Heng was in charge of writing, but now everyone can write directly. Of course, it is impossible to use a brush, but to use a pointed branch with ink. Wen Ya don't expect it, after all, it's only been a few months of study.

However, when the villagers went out, they were filled with joy when they saw these four words written by themselves.

The New Year has arrived, and it is said that it is now around February of 180, four years before the Yellow Turban Uprising. After coming to this era, Li Yu realized that what the history books said should be the lunar calendar, but he has always regarded it as the Gregorian calendar.

But then again, since he came, it is estimated that there will be no more Gregorian calendars in the world. From now on, the lunar calendar of China is the Gregorian calendar of the world, perhaps this also means the real rise of China, right? Thinking about modern times, fewer and fewer people in the new generation know the lunar calendar and can watch the lunar calendar, Li Yu feels that this is the sadness of China...... This is our own Chinese calendar!

The New Year is not the same as the future generations, on the side of those big families, they really don't go out for more than ten days, and they don't start going out until after the Lantern Festival.

The people's families have a hard time, so they can only persist until the third day of junior high school, and they have to go out to collect firewood or do something else on the fourth day of junior high school, otherwise they will be determined to cook after the New Year. Not to mention the mountain people, even if they are on the first day of the new year, they can't stay at home, there are so many jackals, tigers and leopards in the mountains, and the village will be affected by the slightest accident.

However, compared with ordinary people, mountain people also have the advantage of being mountain people, that is, there is no shortage of meat. There are so many bacons and cured meats that are stored in the autumn, and even some large animals such as rhinos and elephants can be hunted for meals from time to time.

It is said that the elephant is said to be an elephant trunk fish, and later generations think it is more like an elephant trunk. The real elephant trunk, Li Yu has eaten it once recently, maybe the meat is too old, or the cooking method is too monotonous, the taste is naturally not good, even if it is baked, it is not delicious.

Don't expect an iron pot, iron will always be the biggest pain for mountain people. Without an iron pot, there is no way to stir-fry or anything.

This era also has the advantage of this era, which is that there are no nature conservation laws and wildlife protection laws, and Asian elephants are not uncommon in the south, even rhinos. If you don't hunt them, they will jeopardize the safety of the mountain people. Therefore, as long as they are encountered, they are basically hunted directly.

Others are busy like this, and Li Yu naturally can't be spared. However, he made a new start, that is, to make pressure money. His elementary school students all gave out two to five yuan as New Year's money.

The students got the benefits, and they also went back to their parents to ask for New Year's money, saying that the teacher had given it, and they also took out the New Year's money tied up with a red rope to show them.

The mountain people didn't know this rule before, and they didn't know that it was Li Yu's originality, so they flipped through it, but they couldn't find a few copper coins. After all, it was useless for them to ask for copper coins, everything was taken down the mountain to trade, and they hardly kept copper coins in their hands.

In the end, these copper plates were simply put away, saying that they would bring them delicious food next time, so they flickered over.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, Li Yu wanted to eat some glutinous rice balls, but unfortunately there was no glutinous rice or sesame seeds on hand. There are sales in the prestige supermarket, and each pack is 30 prestige points. It seems that the technology of making dumplings has nothing to do with this era, so the price has been raised.

It's just that even if it is redeemed, how to explain the source of this thing is a trouble, so I simply don't eat it with everyone!

As the Lantern Festival passed, his reputation accumulated to 30,755 points. However, he already had an idea, and planned to buy Zu Lang a set of iron-embedded armor and a better Pu knife, with a budget of about 20,000 reputation points. The ring head knife is a melee thing, and if you want to play horse fighting, you still have to play with the simple knife.

It cost another 7,000 prestige points to exchange basic accounting knowledge for Ouyang Xing, who can finally adapt to the work of managing accounts. In the future, with the successive strengthening, it may become an existence like Xiao He, right?

In winter, in order to meet the needs of life, Li Yu and his family took some worthless things to the market and sold them. Since it is only a small set here in Danyang County, the purchase price is very low.

This time it is a big gathering after the beginning of spring, and there will be many merchants in Jiangbei who will come to buy it, and they can sell things at a good price. For the arrival of this day, Li Yu and the good things they hunted this winter were almost all kept until this time.

Two slender tusks were the highlight of the deal. The elephant's leather has been made into leather armor, which is much thicker than ordinary fur and has much higher defense.

In addition, there are two tiger whips, and tiger tooth necklaces and tiger skins are also important trading commodities. If you have to say, a few fox skins are not bad, and the wolf king skin that invaded the village earlier is even better! The wolf king is not an ordinary wolf, but a white wolf with albinism, which can be used as an auspicious time in this era.

It's a pity that this thing can't be sold, and Li Yu plans to use it as a gift! Yes, taking advantage of this rush, he plans to contact the county magistrate of Lingyang County! Let's not talk about business, let's get the relationship done first!

At the same time, there is one more thing that needs to be done, that is, how many of the three caravans from earlier will return their capital and profits according to the contract? Seriously, he's ready to lose all his money!

The first market of the Spring Festival was indeed much more lively than usual. Even many people in Lingyang County will set up a stall in the market at this time to cook something to eat. At this time, everyone sells good things, and the money in exchange is naturally a lot more, and it is not an exaggeration to have some spare money to eat some good things.

There are even some businessmen in Jiangbei who brought dozens of women over and temporarily opened a green business. Floor. Most of these women are refugees from Jiangbei, and it is said that there was a barbarian rebellion in Shudiba County last year, and at the same time, the family launched an offensive against the eunuchs, intending to completely cut Liu Hong's wings and put him in the air.

Duan Ying, the chief lieutenant, was imprisoned because of this, and committed suicide in prison for fear of crime not long after. Generally speaking, situations like this in history books are often 'suicide'.

The family's step-by-step pressing also made Liu Hong completely angry, nominally the eunuch did it, but everyone with a little brain knew that it was Liu Hong who did it to the family. Liu He, Yang Qiu and Chen Qiu were imprisoned and died in prison, apparently 'committing suicide' again.

The difference is that Duan Ying is the hand of the family, and these three people are ordered by Liu Hong. In a short period of time, the rift between Liu Hong and the family has been clearly visible.

This time, many people were also involved, many people were mismatched, and many people were killed. Together with the affected people in Shu before, many of them became displaced people, and the women among them were collected by merchants. It is very beautiful and naturally waiting for the price to be sold, but the average appearance is directly taken out to pick up customers.

Among them, there is one who claims to be a performer and not a person, which is really gorgeous and graceful, attracting many perverts to watch. It's just that the background of this businessman is a big family in the Central Plains, and even if it is a county order, he doesn't dare to make a mistake.

Li Yu and the others entered the market, but they were also ignorant about trading. At most, when I was passing by, I stumbled upon so many people gathered here, and I was inevitably a little curious. Perhaps for Li Yu and others, that kind of high-level existence was not something they could contaminate. Little did he know that this was the beginning of a marriage......
