Chapter 5 Science and technology are the primary productive forces
Human beings are a very wonderful animal, among thousands of Chinese characters, if you have to use one word to describe this animal, Xu Yang feels that the word 'cheap' is simply more suitable.
Just the day before yesterday, he just complained to his wife, life is like this, there is no passion, no variables, no challenges, saving money - buying a house, saving money - having children, has become the whole meaning of life, all kinds of things in this life, have been disturbed and finally turned into two words - make money.
Xu Yang has complained more than once that his childhood ambition has long been worn out, and the question of 'whether to go to Peking University or Tsinghua University' that he has been entangled with for many years when he was a child has long since come to an end in the half-faced mathematics paper of the college entrance examination.
Most people's lives have come to an end.
But God seems to have played a joke with Xu Yang, as a staunch Marxist who was brainwashed by the materialist philosophical view of history in later generations, he would not believe in crossing Xu Yang before he was killed, it was just an after-dinner conversation, but now, he hesitated.
The streets are full of ancient people.
Yes, Xu Yang has wiped his eyes more than a dozen times, and he has been wiping his eyes since he entered the huge city gate of Youzhou.
He felt as if he was back in the twenties, the wide streets, there was not a single wire hanging in the air, the blue sky was countless times clearer than the sky covered by smog in later generations, and the small stalls and vendors in various TV dramas on the streets, but the things they sold were obviously not as high-end as in later TV dramas, and the small cabinets they sold were much more dilapidated than those in later film and television works.
Selling fruits, fans, and umbrellas, this is something that Xu Yang can identify, and there are many strange farm tools, gourds and the like, so Xu Yang doesn't know what those are for.
Xu Yang opened the curtains of the car all the way to look outside, which attracted passers-by to look at him curiously.
The passers-by on the street, most of the clothes are red, all of them are wearing round-necked narrow-sleeved close-fitting robes, black boots, trouser robes, and black hats.
It's a pity that the Liu family's mansion is not far from the city gate, and the work of a stick of incense arrives, Xu Yang visited the streets of Datang for the first time, and felt very novel, and he didn't see enough at all, so he had no choice but to get out of the car.
After getting out of the car, Xu Yang's heart became apprehensive, he now fully believed that he was in the Tang Dynasty 1,400 years ago, but how could he survive?
As an otaku in the 21st century, Xu Yang's figure obviously inherits the fine tradition of otaku sick seedlings, a thin and weak appearance that can't be lifted with hands and shoulders can't resist, will he be beaten to death in the era of Datang without human rights? Where do I go from here?
There was no one he was familiar with, all the people, all the things, he had never touched before, which made him very nervous and frightened.
His heart suddenly missed his small but warm room; The wife who is very domineering, but will be gentle with herself; It was a job that didn't pay much, but it still had some promise. Xu Yang now regrets it very much, he longs to go back, to return to the 21st century, to return to that ordinary but stable life.
He suddenly remembered his complaint to his wife the day before yesterday, complaining that life is like this, there is no passion, no variables, and no challenges.
However, when he really faced this new life full of passion, full of variables, and full of any challenges, he was stunned, cowardly, and he just wanted to go home. In this era when the emperor's majesty is happy, the head falls to the ground, the era when a plague and famine will burp, and the era when the army is sent to the front line and killed.
Xu Yang felt that his small body was really possible.
But what can you do?
People, they are so cheap, they don't cherish it when they get it, and they regret it when they lose it.
Alas, take it one step at a time.
"Brother Xu Yang, do you have something on your mind?" After the girl in pink got out of the car, she saw that Xu Yang's face was a little ugly, and ordered a few small servants to help him.
"It's okay, let's go." Xu Yang smiled bitterly, if you come, you will be safe, let's see the situation.
"Oh, okay, Liu Yi, Liu Er, you two are responsible for moving the tables and chairs in the carriage out, Liu San, take me to Steward Wang, and I will ask him to arrange a room for my brother."
"Gotcha!"
After entering Liu's Mansion, Liu Mengli found the housekeeper of Liu's Mansion and asked the manager to find a room for Xu Yang, and a group of family members carried all his desks and computers into it.
To Xu Yang's surprise, his mobile phone can also access the Internet, with an Internet speed of 700K per second, is it a golden finger? Xu Yang smiled very happily.
Knowing the news that he could still surf the Internet, Xu Yang was a little happy, feeling that even if he was not good, he had the ability to eat and wait for death.
Learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, and I am not afraid to go all over the world, Wifi is in hand, and I have the world.
Cleaned up the pause and followed Liu Mengli to meet the head of the Liu family
Liu Dongliang is the current head of the Liu family in Youzhou, and now he is drinking tea in the study room of Liu's mansion, when he hears some noise in the courtyard, he allows a sip of oil tea, and his heart is a little annoyed.
Just as Liu Dongliang was about to ask Liu Yi to go out and ask what was going on, a crisp sound came from outside the hospital: "Dad!" I'm back~"
Before the sound arrived, people arrived first, and saw a pink cloth push open the door like a shadow, only to see a girl entering, with red lips and white teeth, silk and pink clothes, it was and Liu Mengli.
Liu Dongliang, the head of the family who was originally full of gloom, finally showed a kind smile on his face after seeing the girl clearly, and said, "Nan Nan is back." But then two more people came in the room, making his face show a puzzled expression, Uncle Liu he knew, but he had never seen this strange thin young man next to Uncle Liu.
"Lao Liu, who is this?" Liu Dongliang asked. After that, he took a closer look at the tall and thin young man in this strange costume.
Uncle Liu hugged his fists and said: "Back to the master, this Xu Gongzi is a friend I met on the way to the young lady." ”
Xu Yang, as a traverser, stepped forward and hugged his fists without being humble or arrogant: "I met Miss Liu on the road, because there is no place to stay, Miss Liu is kind enough to take it in, and I am grateful to be there, and I will leave after dealing with some things, but I still have to bother during this time." ”
When Liu Dongliang heard that he was a rubber, he lost any interest in his heart, and said with a lack of interest: "Well, it's okay, sit down." ”
Liu Dongliang took Liu Mengli's hand and said a conversation, leaving Xu Yang aside, and after chatting about what kind words they had at their uncle's house in Cangzhou, the father and daughter shifted the topic to Xu Yang.
"Daddy, don't you know, Brother Xu Yang has an ancestral magic weapon, called a mobile phone, which can transmit beautiful music." After that, he was dancing and gesturing.
Liu Dongliang immediately looked at Xu Yang.
Xu Yang's face is blue now, wipe it, let you pretend to be a wall and let you fly, now it's okay, it's really the Tang Dynasty, take out your mobile phone and play songs and can't be treated as guinea pigs, ten heads are not enough for the emperor to rob, he still understands the truth that the husband is not guilty.
Xu Yang smiled embarrassedly with a pale face, and said: "This mobile phone is an ancestral magic weapon, and it can only be performed once by absorbing enough heaven and earth aura" He was shocked by his wit.
Liu Mengli was also shocked, and originally wanted to hurry up and pull Brother Xu Yang to perform for his father, but now it's okay, the magic weapon has no aura, but how can it be good.
"Brother Xu Yang, how long does it take for your phone to absorb full aura?" Liu Mengli asked eagerly.
"This, I don't know, it's as short as three or five days, or as long as three or five years," Xu Yang snorted.
Liu Dongliang is an old man, and he has long seen that Xu Yang doesn't want to show his treasure, for fear that he will covet him, he has been in business for decades, and this can still be seen on his face, and he doesn't say anything, and said: "It's okay, it's not too late to perform in the future, so how long do you plan to stay with this son?" ”
Xu Yang knew that he couldn't eat and drink in vain, so he hurriedly said: "I have some objects here, such as a mirror, and this pen, all of which can be placed here as collateral, and I will leave when I finish my business." After that, he looked at Liu Dongliang with some apprehension.
Liu Dongliang was already stunned by the exquisite little mirror at this time, with his vision of decades in the business world, this thing is more than enough to sell for a hundred yuan, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is supplied to the royal family, and now in front of his eyes, he grabbed the mirror and played with it.
Xu Yang is a relative in his heart, and he won't even kill people and seize treasures even in the mirror
"This little Langjun." Liu Dongliang swallowed vigorously and spat, and said, "I want this thing to give to my Liu family, and it's no problem if you want to live as long as you want." ”
Xu Yang was immediately overjoyed and made a deal
Xu Yang has been staying in Liu's house for four days, but he rarely goes out, tying the door to the house all day long, fiddling with his things, and the family members are all talking about it, saying that this guest is too weird.
Every day, Liu Mengli can only see him when he goes to bring food to Xu Yang.
Xu Yang has been a lot haggard in the past two days, and it seems that he still can't accept the fact of crossing, computers and mobile phones can access the Internet, but he can't see any social information related to himself, everyone, **, space, all are no longer refreshed, and he is like a lonely boat, really lost in Datang.
In the past four days, he has been in a flash, he even played a few large-scale online games, what League of Legends, what Fantasy Journey to the West, you can play, but all of them can't communicate with others, and the messages he sent in the past will always prompt that the sending fails, and he never sees the messages sent by others.
After four days of decadence, he finally accepted the fact that he was in Datang, he could never go back, he was now an ordinary person in a feudal empire, no, he was still a black household, and he didn't even have an ID card.
An inexplicable anger burned in his heart, and there was nowhere to vent.
He used a pen to write the words 'Invincible Tang Dynasty' on his notebook, intending to officially face this dynasty 1,300 years ago.
The computer can access the Internet, you can Baidu, you can read posts, and after sorting out all your things, I also found two bugs.
The small printer in the computer cabinet can spit out paper against the laws of nature, and can print piles of materials without adding ink.
The two small speakers can also order songs at will and never consume electricity.
This gave Xu Yang a burst of confidence, God is helping you, now, it's time for you to help yourself.
He pulled out a small object from the drawer of his desk, a galloping horse-shaped piece of glass art. This is a small gift from a female colleague on his birthday, the glass is made of 'horse to success', it is very cheap, only more than 20 yuan, but in the Tang Dynasty, Xu Yang knew that it must be very valuable, not only him, but also the material of glass. He clutched the pile of drawings of the process of making glass printed out by Baidu in his hand, closed the door, went out of the courtyard, and inquired with the people, and heard that the head of the house was discussing with the elders of the house in the council hall, so he walked over there
Liu Dongliang, the head of the Liu family, was kneeling upright on the Liu family's meeting hall, and the meeting hall was already full of kneeling people, these people were the mainstay of the Liu family, most of them were thirty or forty years old, and there were many discussions in the meeting hall.
At this time, an old man on Liu Dongliang's left hand stood up with his fists and said: "Everyone, now it has come to the time of life and death of my Liu family, our old lady of the Liu family has now been dismissed, and the grain industry and fishing industry that have been relying on for survival have suffered heavy losses, this year's drought has fallen, the grain harvest in the field is less than three percent of previous years, and the tsunami that occurred at sea directly destroyed more than eighty percent of our Liu family's fishing boats, and now the money in the family's treasury is almost exhausted, and if this continues, we can't even pay the wages of the attendants. The purpose of this gathering is to brainstorm and think of a way. ”
As soon as the old man's words fell, the people below began to talk again, but none of them could come up with a reasonable proposal.
"I think that at present, our Liu family should dismiss the servants, save money and keep the house, and wait for next year's harvest to be better and then gradually recover." A middle-aged man on the right side of the hall stood up and said.
"I think the relationship between our Liu family and Yongkang Qianzhuang is so good, we should be able to borrow some silver to last until next year." A green-robed middle-aged man on the left side of the hall also stood up and said.
"I think we'd just sell all the remaining fishing boats and leave the money to spend this time and recuperate." An old man in a gray robe said tremblingly
For a while, there was a lot of noise in the hall.
Xu Yang stood outside the door and listened to the quarrel of the people in the house for half an hour, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became thicker and thicker, since the Liu family is now in a big disaster, it is very suitable for him to appear at this time.
The hall was still noisy, when a tall, lanky young man with short hair burst in from the door.
"Science and technology are the primary productive forces." Xu Yang stretched out a finger and shouted in the hall, the whole room turned their heads to look at him like a madman, Liu Mengli, who was sitting in the east corner, also looked at Xu Yang with a shocked face, Xu Yang smiled at her, signaling not to worry.
Xu Yang was a little nervous, his heart was beating fast, he knew that this was his first step to come to Datang, and with the first step, he could truly integrate into Datang.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have a great way to make money here, and it can be said that knowing this method of making money, the easiest thing in the world is to make money." Xu Yang looked at a room of people staring at him like fools, and it seemed that he was about to come up with some real evidence, Xu Yang slowly took out the glass artwork in the shape of a galloping horse wrapped in golden silk cloth from the prepared small bag.
As soon as he took it out, it caught the eyes of a room.
"Mengli, you present this to the head of the Liu family."
"Hmm." Liu Mengli smiled sweetly, walked over and carefully handed the glass product to Liu Dongliang, who was sitting in the hall.
Liu Dongliang stared at the galloping horse glass artwork in his hand, looking left and right, with a shocked face, the glass shimmered like crystal, transparent and crystalline, the carved galloping horse was lifelike, and there were four strange order of big characters engraved below 'Horse to Success'. However, he can vaguely recognize the words 'horse to success', and there are words in his mouth, this is a divine object, it is really ingenious, it is really ingenious, it is ingenious!
Suddenly, he grinned, as if relieved, and choked up: "Old man, if you can present this divine object to His Majesty the Emperor, as a clear stream, the dismissed official, it is possible to recover!" After that, he didn't care about his image, his face was full of snot and tears, he walked down from the seat of the head of the family, knelt down in front of Xu Yang with a "plop", and said excitedly: "This little brother, as long as you are willing to sell this thing to my Liu family, my Liu family will owe you a great favor!" ”
Xu Yang didn't expect the head of the Liu family to react so much, so he helped him up at that time, and said confidently: "Of course this thing can be given to you, and I will give you a great opportunity for the Liu family." ”
The head of the Liu family was also very excited at this time, and said, "What is the chance?" ”
"The way this glass was made."
