Chapter 5 Settlement

People can't save too much in their hearts, and if they save too much, they are prone to accidents. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the waterhole in the mountains, although Wei Xuan still can't remember many things, he also remembered eighty or ninety. In this way, it was a bad thing, the body was weak, and there were many secrets that could not be told, and under the panic, he immediately fell ill, burned hot, and lay on the bed in a daze for seven days before he could recover his strength, and scared Aunt Wu, who had been taking care of her.

The illness came like a mountain, and the illness went like a thread, and Wei Xuan recuperated for several days before he could go to the ground. I couldn't stand for long, and I was sweating profusely after being carried by Aunt Wu for a few steps, and I didn't recover until I was in autumn, but I also lost a lot of weight.

The Wu family didn't have much money, even if Lao Zhang's diagnosis fee was not much, Wei Xuan's illness also cost Uncle Wu a lot of money that he had saved during his years as a soldier. Aunt Wu was still a little complaining at the beginning, but later she didn't know what Uncle Wu said, so she didn't care at all, but was more careful than before, and treated Wei Xuan as a nephew. And Wei Xuan didn't notice this at all.

Walking slowly in the field, followed by the lazy rhubarb at his feet, although Wei Xuan was carrying a sickle in his hand, it was just an ornament. Harvesting wheat in autumn, in previous years, it was Uncle Wu's work alone, but now that there is more Wei Xuan, it doesn't look like there is any difference, after all, you can't expect a person who has just recovered from a serious illness to have much physical strength.

More than one acre of wheat, except for two ridges of land that were harvested by Wei Xuan, the rest were Uncle Wu's. This is also something that can't be helped, Wei Xuan doesn't know anything about farm work, after all, you can't expect a person who has never done it to be like those experienced old farmers for the first time.

Even if Wei Xuan is the so-called "child of the immortals".

Yes, the children of immortals, this is Wei Xuan in the hearts of the old couple of the Wu family now. Uncle Wu felt that he could see very clearly, those strange objects, the delicate jade pendant, the treasure of the country in the navy blue box, and the strange place in the mountains that he couldn't find anything, these were all reasons, and only this reason could make sense of everything.

A veteran who has been fighting for many years, you can say that he does not believe in ghosts and gods, or you can say that he believes in ghosts and gods the most. Years of bloody life have made every surviving veteran habitually believe in the blade in his hand, after all, on the battlefield, between life and death, there is no god who can help him. But these are the same people, once they are convinced of one thing, they will never change.

Wei Xuan knew about it, but he didn't explain it, and in fact, he couldn't explain it either. Could it be that the old couple of the Wu family, who have never read a book, talk about the theory of relativity and the conjecture of the multidimensional universe? It's not realistic. Fortunately, the old couple of the Wu family didn't mean to say anything to the outside world, so they let them go, and now the most urgent thing for Wei Xuan is not this.

Datang's household registration system is very simple and rigorous. This very strange feeling made Wei Xuan incomprehensible. If you want to register in Datang, you must first prove that you are a good family, which requires at least three certificates from the elderly in the place of household registration; secondly, it is necessary to have the consent of the Lizheng or the village head, and only in this way can the household registration application be reported to the county government; In the end, after a period of investigation, the county also needs to know whether the situation is true and whether there is any deception, a process that often takes nearly a month. When all the processes are completed, there is nothing strange about the identity, and the county will issue a document to prove that you are included in the local household registration and enjoy the benefits enjoyed by the people of the Tang Dynasty.

It's just a little bit of a mouthpiece.

Wei Xuan is a good time, after all, the new emperor ascended the throne, Tian Ding is political achievement, and the conditions have been relaxed a lot, these days I don't know how many homeless people from the mountains have been collected, not one more than Wei Xuan. It's just that in this way, there are not many fields in hand, and it is still barren for a long time, and it is a little far away from the village, just at the foot of the mountain. Uncle Wu accompanied Wei Xuan to see it, and he couldn't grow rations at all. But there is no way, there are so many fields in the village, and Wei Xuan is new after all.

In autumn, it gets cooler, and the winter in Guanzhong is still very cold. Although the Wu family does not lack Wei Xuan, now that they have the household registration documents, it is not suitable to live together again. It is a fact that the people are simple, but there are also many gossips. Looking for a day with good weather, Uncle Wu took Wei Xuan to find a flat place near his barren field to prepare to build a house, and with the help of the villagers, the house was still very easy to run.

After living in the village for so many days, Wei Xuan also figured out some things. The name of the village is Nanshan Village, which belongs to Lantian County and is at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain. Although there are few people and they are remote, they all have what they should have. The village chief's surname is Yang, and his ancestors have been in Nanshan Village for generations, and his family background is very solid. There is a blacksmith surnamed Zhang in the village, who fled here during the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and the ancestral iron-making skills are not said. There is also a carpenter, surnamed Liu, who is also an old man in Nanshan Village, and he is still a little close to the Yang village chief's family. In addition, there are also the Wang family who burn bricks, the Sun family who makes tiles, and the old Zhang who knows how to do medicine. With the help of these people and government soldiers like the Wu family, it is still very simple to build a house.

There are no bullies in Nanshan Village, and there are no rich businessmen, so naturally they are not so particular. Carpenter Liu sent the beams, Blacksmith Zhang sent rivets, the Wang family sent the turn, the Sun family sent the tiles, and Uncle Wu took the young people in the village to work. A group of people left early and returned late, and it didn't take a month to build a small house. Blue bricks and green tiles, although simple, but also live in people.

Wei Xuan has no money, and the things in his hands can't be counted as wages, so the Wu family is responsible for providing food for the people in the village who help these days. Uncle Wu is good, he can always bring back some rabbits and pheasants when he walks up the mountain, Wei Xuan can't hunt, but he can catch some wild things every once in a while with traps, and the food will naturally not be bad. Wei Xuan is not an uninteresting person, anyway, he is older than him, the younger one is called brother, the older uncle is not bad in terms of etiquette.

There are no scholars in the village, and Lao Zhang can only write the names of ordinary medicinal materials, and if he is given a medical book, he will not be able to understand it. Wei Xuan is literate, and he still recognizes the Analects of the Analects, and there is no problem at all in teaching the children in the village to read. That's how you make a living. does not charge money, nor does it worship teachers, there are many families who send their children to come to read and write, and each family can send some firewood or food at will is enough for Wei Xuan to live. This is also a good thing for the village, after all, the cost of inviting Mr. to teach in the village is very high these years, and even a solid family like Village Chief Yang can't support it for long. Originally, I thought that Wei Xuan was a person like other homeless people, who would have thought that he could read and teach, this was a great luck, a great thing.

Teaching is not an easy task, Wei Xuan has no books and no teaching aids, which all need to be prepared. Fortunately, Wei Xuan already had a plan in his heart for this. Learning from the school in his memory, Wei Xuantuo Liu carpenter made a lot of small wooden boards, and specially found a lot of charcoal from various households, but this was used to make charcoal. Wei Xuan didn't put too much thought into the charcoal, just found some rags to tie up the smaller charcoal, and only showed his head, the real trouble was the books.

Books were a rare object in this era, and they were more hidden by the big families, and it seemed that the villagers in Nanshan Village were basically impossible to see. Wei Xuan also had no way to do this, there were people in Chang'an City who sold the Analects, but he had no money and didn't know the way, so he could only entrust this matter to other people in Nanshan Village.

Village Chief Yang is very concerned about this matter, and in fact, the entire Nanshan Village is very serious about this matter. In this era, books are not something you can read if you want to, and poor families put more energy into the land, or they are like Uncle Wu when he was young. However, if there is a more stable way to go, who will choose the day of licking blood on the tip of the knife?

A set of Analects is not expensive, only fifty copper plates. If it is a family, this is a huge amount of money, but if it is evenly distributed to the whole village of Nanshan Village, it is nothing, and the money will be saved by drinking less wine on weekdays. Wei Xuangang told Village Chief Yang about this, and the whole village got the news and sent the money to Village Chief Yang's house one by one. Village Chief Yang was not ambiguous, and immediately set up a donkey cart and led his two sons into the city.

Nanshan Village is dozens of miles away from Chang'an City, and it doesn't take much time to come and go. It was not yet noon when Village Chief Yang left, and it was only dark when he returned. This trip was not a small gain, not only bought a set of "Analects", but also bought a lot of inkstones with pen and ink. Paper is not to buy, just use straw paper, left and right are the dolls to learn words, using those good paper is really wasteful.

Send the pen and ink to each household, and then give the "Analects" to Wei Xuan, the task of Village Chief Yang will be completed, and Wei Xuan's will just begin. After a night of careful study, Wei Xuan finally read the entire set of "Analects" and had a rough teaching plan in mind. However, the time for the start of school has not yet arrived, and there are still a few days left. Originally, Village Chief Yang and the others wanted to start the class on the second day, but Wei Xuan persuaded them. During this autumn harvest, the work of each family is very heavy, and the children are also a help, and it is now winter, and the family must prepare something, and it is not a trivial matter to have one less person at this time.

Naturally, Wei Xuan would not tell others that he would take advantage of this time to pick up the calligraphy. Simplified characters are written a lot, and traditional characters have to be used to for a while.
