It rained for three days in a row, adding a little coolness to the early spring.

"Are you cold?" It was an old man who spoke. As soon as the rain had stopped, I went out for a walk, only to find a young man curled up in a corner in a dilapidated thatched hut, shivering.

The young man looked at the old man and asked, "Old man, may I ask where this is?" ”

The old man looked at the young man suspiciously, "This is Chang'an, the capital!" He couldn't stop shaking his head: "Hey, they are all poor people, now the imperial court is repairing the emperor's mausoleum and building palaces, levying people's husbands, paying heavy taxes, and building a large number of buildings, making the people miserable, and how many people are displaced." The old man couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

The young man of "Chang'an Chang'an" did not hear the old man's sigh clearly, and he had the impression that there was no Chang'an in the era in which he lived. Now this Chang'an, which dynasty's Chang'an, I only remember the Fengdu War, lost the Wangxiangtai, forcibly crossed the reincarnation division, and woke up here after waking up.

The old man looked at the trembling young man who was still muttering, and couldn't help but feel pity, so he said, "You must have nowhere to go here, you can go home with me, just like my son, with a little more coolie, two meals of rice porridge a day, three or four steamed buns can still be exchanged."

The young man looked at the old man with a kind face, and instead of being here in a vague way, it was better to go with the old man, so that he could figure out where this was and where the others had gone. "Then Xie Lu Xie old man, in Xia Mo Zhai, may I ask Mr. Daming"

The old man looked at Mo Zhai with satisfaction: "Listening to you is like having read a book, and now you can still read in troubled times, rare, rare." Just call me Zhao Lao."

The old man led Mo Zhai home, and along the way, Mo Zhai wanted to ask the old man which dynasty this was, but he was afraid that he would arouse the old man's suspicion by saying it, so he stopped.

This is an ordinary ordinary house, there is no furnishings, and the stove in the corner wafts with a burst of fragrance.

As soon as he entered the door, the old man shouted: "Son, son, there is a guest at home." Hurry up and come out and greet people."

Inside the door, a strong man came out staring at Mo Zhai, and pulled the old man over in a half-loud voice: "I said Dad, why do you take others home casually, what if he is a bandit and bandit, what if he is a wanted criminal by the imperial court." ”

The old man's face was pale: "You don't want to talk nonsense, you see that this Mo Zhai is also clear-eyed, how can he be a thief, and he has also read books!" ”

"Read!" Zhao Liang's eyes suddenly lit up.

At this moment, Mo Zhai didn't hear their conversation, and he wouldn't eavesdrop, just thinking about the questions in his heart.

Zhao Yigui walked forward, and said in a loud voice: "It turned out to be Mr. Mo, welcome to our house." ”

Mo Zhai just smiled in return, and Zhao Lao also brought the rice porridge in the pot at this moment, and also served some rice crackers and side dishes.

"I said Mr. Mo, it doesn't seem like you're from here with your accent," Zhao Liang asked while eating.

Mo Zhai thought about it, and he definitely couldn't say that he was from Qi or Lu, but he just said vaguely, "The harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes in my hometown are too heavy, and I have been levied for many years. I was a teacher in my hometown, but now that the villagers have fled, I have to live here. ”

I saw Zhao Yigui smile honestly: "Mr. Mo, if you don't dislike it, just live here with me, and treat my house as your home, I don't know a single word the size of a bean, but I respect people who have read books." ”

Mo Zhai thought about it again and again, but now there was nowhere to go, and it was difficult for others to find a trace for a while, so he agreed to stay temporarily.

Lunch, under the warm hospitality of Zhao Lao and Zhao Yigui, was finished. Zhao Yigui wiped his mouth, "Dad, this ghost weather, it has rained for three days in a row, and I am bored at home, I will go to the east gate now, and I may be able to work two short-term jobs in the afternoon." ”

"I see, Mr. Mo, you don't have a way to go now, so why don't you go with my son for the time being." Zhao Lao hesitated for a long time, but still said it, after all, the family is poor, and it is really a problem to provide an idler to eat for a long time.

Mo Zhai smiled and said, "Old man, you can call me Mo Zhai, and I will go with Brother Zhao." Look at me, I'm strong, too. Don't look at the books I've read for a few years, farm work, hard work, you can do everything."

Mo Zhai and Zhao Liang rushed to the east gate together, along the way Zhao Yigui kept explaining to Mo Zhai that the east gate is a gathering place for labor, and some large families will go to the east gate to recruit a few miscellaneous servants and do rough work when there is a temporary shortage of people. If you are lucky, you can take a fancy to a large family, and you can do it for a long time.

This Chang'an City is still quite lively, after all, it is the capital, and Mo Zhai's careful observation still can't tell which dynasty Chang'an this is.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way! It's a notice! ”

Seven or eight officials and officials evacuated the people, and as soon as the notice was posted, a group of people gathered around and talked about it. "Mr. Mo, what does the notice say?" Zhao Yigui was illiterate, and the people around him complained and asked Mo Zhai.

It's just that Mo Zhai stood in front of the notice in a daze at the moment, unable to speak for a long time. "Mr. Mo, what's wrong with you." Zhao Yigui shook Mo Zhai and asked strangely.

"It's, it's nothing, the notice just says that the people are being recruited. You said that it is Shen now, Shen, how many years has the Shen Dynasty" Mo Zhai said this sentence for a long time, he couldn't imagine that it was the Shen Dynasty here. In his cognition, there is no dynasty at all!

"Sixteen years of the Shen Dynasty! Hey, I have to recruit people again. How many people have to die? Mr. Mo, let's hurry to the east gate. Zhao Yigui pulled Mo Zhai, who was a little sluggish.

At this time, Chang'an no longer had the excitement it had at the beginning. On the street, the people sighed, cursed, and gathered in twos and threes to discuss. Now that the world has already been made peaceful, there are many complaints. The people just want to live and work in peace and contentment, but they are regarded as grass and mustard. It is a curse to the people, but there is nothing they can do.

When they arrived at the east gate, there were thirty or forty people waiting to recruit workers. Standing on both sides of the corner, waiting for the big families to come and claim it, in exchange for some scraps of money to live. From time to time, the workers rushed forward, showed their muscles, and were led away happily.

It's someone again, and it seems to be a big family.

"It's raining heavily for three days in a row, and some places in Xuanwang's Mansion are waterlogged, who wants to go" It was Mr. Liu of Xuanwang's Mansion who spoke!

"I'll Go"

"I'll Go"

"Don't fight, everybody. We have a lot of miscellaneous affairs in Xuanwangfu, and we will often use yours, depending on what you are fighting for, isn't it just a few copper coins?" said Mr. Liu contemptuously. "It's just you, and you, you, you, you come with me."

The lucky Zhao Yigui was named, "Manager Liu, what about my brother, you can also enjoy the food, look at his body, capable!" ”

"Let's go together." Manager Liu dropped the words and turned around and left.

On the way to the palace, Zhao Yigui told Mo Zhai Xuan that the palace was generous, three or four more copper plates than other people's normal ones, and Zhao Yigui smiled happily.
