Chapter 154: Family
With new ideas, there is no time to pay attention to the scenery outside the window, not to mention that the more and more desolate it is to the west, far away from Chang'an, it seems that people's quality of life has declined a lot, except for some rich people, more or less able to live in luxuriously decorated houses, ordinary people's houses are really getting worse and worse.
Being able to shelter from the wind and rain outside is already good, Fan Jingjing remembers that in winter, it will snow in this area, thinking of such a thin roof and thin walls to resist the wind and snow, Fan Jingjing can't help but worry about them.
The lives of the people are really too hard.
But Fan Jingjing is not a rich person who is on top, she is still trying to take care of the people around her, and her diet is not particularly luxurious, but she can eat enough, and it has not even reached the point where Fan Jingjing feels enjoyed.
Because the chefs around her are not full-time chefs, they are all slightly guided and cultivated by Niu Shijin, after all, Niu Shijin is a person who has seen the world, and the kitchen skills he can guide are relatively high-end, and at this time the materials are relatively scarce, and the general poor farmers can cook the grain to fill their stomachs It is already very good, not at all like the Ming and Qing dynasties, due to the relative abundance of materials, many food cultures have been developed.
Coming from poor farmers, there are not many dishes that can be cooked.
Fan Jingjing took out several dishes, many people have regarded them as supreme delicious.
Fan Jingjing herself is not a good cook, the only thing she can do is probably roasting, through the ratio of spices, the taste of Fan Jingjing's door is quite delicious.
Fan Jingjing walks along the road and records the scenery along the way, and she also wants to develop this route into a tourist route. As a contribution to her time. Of course, the planning of the sightseeing tour route is all for women, as for what men need, it is not in his consideration, she wants men to know that they cherish women, and women can walk out of the door arrogantly.
Of course, when you have a special idea and purpose, the surrounding scenery will naturally be different.
Human eyes can receive countless information from the outside world, but in the end there are only eleven or twelve points that can be paid attention to, if you want to ask this person what he sees, he can only mention to you that it is twelve, some people are smarter, observation ability is stronger, can be increased to ten times, but no matter how strong it is compared to what he sees, it is still a lot less, after all, human beings can receive information in an instant, up to 18,000, even the person with the strongest observation ability, there is no way to receive all the information into his head, Most of them will just fly away from their heads.
And the longer the time, even the things that you pay attention to will disappear in your memory, in this way, human beings are smart and stupid, and the so-called smart people are able to keep their memories for a longer time.
The loss of memories is actually a kind of human instinct for self-preservation, otherwise it will be difficult for human beings to survive in the face of so many painful things, if they are all accumulated in their hearts.
From the birth of human beings to their death, the people around them are constantly disappearing, and the disappearance of people is often the most sorrowful.
The line was repeated, and the group finally arrived in Lanzhou.
Fan Jingjing also gradually got used to the swaying time in the carriage and was able to sit for a long time.
Fan Jingjing thought to herself, maybe this is also her gradual integration into the Tang Dynasty, and one day he will become an authentic Tang person. It is no different from other Datang people, because even the memories from later generations will gradually be forgotten one day.
But she knew that these memories were very precious, so Fan Jingjing took out and wrote what she thought of from time to time, and completely became a young man who often wrote.
Human memory is relatively fragmentary. But Fan Jingjing knows that even fragmentary memories can have a promoting effect on Datang.
Sitting in the carriage, only Niu Yingxiu is not worth disturbing her.
But when Fan Jingjing was holding a charcoal pen and writing something on paper, Niu Yingxiu always watched with a serious face.
and will not interfere with Fan Jingjing at this moment.
entered Lanzhou City and found a small but cleanly organized inn, and Fan Jingjing and his party stayed.
The inn is run by a family, inside and out.
The money you need to spend to charter the inn is only the accommodation fee for one night in the West Market Restaurant. It can be seen how big the price difference is between the two places.
Of course, the restaurant in the west market refers to the luxury restaurant, this inn looks very simple from the outside, and there is no difference between the houses, they can live because of Liang Shu and Li Tianlong, they live in a chase shop, not a single room.
"The wounded barracks shouldn't be in the city, can you help me find out where they are?"
Fan Jingjing politely asked Li Tianlong, she didn't regard herself as the grandmother of the Niu family, although she was also an official figure, but her grade was too different from the Niu family, the prime minister's door was a third-grade official, not to mention that Li Tianlong was also an important figure in the Niu family.
Fan Jingjing naturally couldn't call the other party as a slave, but calculated her identity and status, and was very polite and respectful to the other party, even if she wanted Li Tianlong to help, she did so in a pleading tone.
"The barracks are located outside the city, not inside the city, but we have to find out where they are, because every time we set up camp, we will not be in a fixed place, but there are certain conditions for choosing a place to camp, so it is probably in those places.
The people I sent out are already listening and will find out when they return. ”
When the military camp of the Tang Dynasty was still standing outside the city, the people in the city did not necessarily know about it, because their rules were not to disturb the lives of ordinary people, and even the food was prepared by themselves, unless a notice was sent in advance to let a certain city prepare to collect, but the notice they sent out was generally very early in the territory. And it has nothing to do with the people in general, so the best place to find out is the government.
Fortunately, it is not too difficult for the Niu family to listen, after all, their Niu family is one of the leaders of the army.
Fan Jingjing asked Li Tianlong, and it didn't take long for Li Tianlong to get the news and come to Fan Jingjing and say:
"I've already heard the news, they are fifty miles southwest of the city, and we have been near Lanzhou several times, and we can probably guess where they are camping."
Halfway through Li Tianlong's speech, he found that Fan Jingjing's eyes were full of doubts, the southwest is too wide for ordinary people, and the range of the southwest fifty miles away is no longer the range that can be reached by walking in a day.
However, it is not a big deal for Li Tianlong, because they know that even if it becomes all over the ground, it seems to be flat land, but there are not many suitable places to camp, because the army will also reduce the destruction of the local area, so the location of each camping is probably selected in several places, and if you know the direction, you can roughly know the location of the camp, at most there are two places in this place, just run around.
"But the wounded barracks are also considered to be part of the army, so it shouldn't be easy to get in, right?"
When Fan Jingjing came here, she began to face up to various problems.
"The wounded barracks will not prohibit family members from entering the camp, but there is a limit to the time they can enter."
Li Tianlong smiled and felt that these problems were not a problem.
"But I'm not a family member...... Fan Jingjing looked a little sad, and then she suddenly thought that Wei Chi Aya is not a family member, although she is the daughter of the leading general, but does she have the right to enter the barracks? Not sure where she is now.
Fan Jingjing remembered that the military discipline that popped up in the information she had read was actually quite good. So he didn't think that Wei Chi Aya could break into the wounded barracks indiscriminately when he came here.
What's more, what the identity of the individual is, it is recorded on the way out.
Although Fan Jingjing felt that Lu Yin was too easy to fake, he didn't think that Yu Chi Aya would fake Lu Yin, which was tantamount to discrediting his father. These noble children are actually very careful in this regard, unless they are deceived by their own brothers, which leads to accidentally committing a low-level mistake.
However, in Xungui, because of the relationship between positions, often friends may not be able to trust sincerely.
But once the credit is broken, it will have a very big impact on his interpersonal relationships, but everything depends on what sacrifice can be exchanged for, if the reward is very high, even if the sacrifice of a little credit, get a better opportunity, there are still many people willing to do it.
"Da Lang, he is the father of the child, no matter how he is, he can have anything to do with you."
Li Tianlong knew that Fan Jingjing had not agreed to marry Niu Shijin, and if the Niu family forced Fan Jingjing to marry if Niu Shijin was likely to become a waste, it would actually be very cruel, but if Niu Shijin left, Mrs. Niu would not let Fan Jingjing go, and no matter what, she would have a secret marriage to confirm the sovereignty of the child in Fan Jingjing's belly.
Li Tianlong can't understand Fan Jingjing's mentality, clinging to the Niu family's honor, for most people in the Tang Dynasty, it is a good thing, except for the Shandong Shi family, the daughters of other families will not be so arrogant, in the Niu family, although they live a relatively simple life, they give most of the money to the wounded soldiers who are attached to the Niu family, as well as veterans, but if you want to make your daughter-in-law a little richer, you can still do it.
The investment of the Niu family in the past few years, in this year to see the return, in the past, everyone's ploughing technology was relatively poor, coupled with poor health, the care of the field could not be so thoughtful, but after the technical improvement, especially a large number of agricultural iron tools, get into the field, agricultural farming than the previous intensive farming results, the output in the field is several times more.
Jiang blacksmith, but he sent a copy of all the good things to the Niu family. He was only willing to charge the cost price when he collected money, saying that it was something for apprentices to practice.
Although the Niu family also provided a lot of iron to the ginger blacksmith, compared to the tools they got, this investment was really worth it.
The money that their cattle family went out to buy the fields was entirely their own money. The Niu family is grateful to Fan Jingjing, if there is no Fan Jingjing, the blacksmith will only be able to make slow progress as before, and the help to the Niu family is limited.
The progressive Jiang blacksmith is now the leading blacksmith in the Tang Dynasty, not because of how good the iron he beats, but because the amount of iron he makes is very varied, and it is very helpful to life.
The emergence of the gear structure detonated the trend of invention within the Niu family.
Many people in the Niu family have made contributions to the military formation, most of the things they invented are military weapons, and several mature military weapons have been contributed to the general as a supervisor, so that the general can produce better weapons, and it has also brought a lot of credit to the Niu family.
These things, Niu Jinda was fighting on the front line, and he was still in the dark, only thinking about improving the status of his family through his military exploits.
didn't know that Mrs. Niu had been rewarded by the imperial court, and her status was one step further than before.
Fan Jingjing didn't pay too much attention to the affairs of the imperial court, Jiang Blacksmith sent her products to Mrs. Niu with her consent, Mrs. Niu has more families, smart people can create inventions, and the people at her hand except for the prince and princess, who can make some new things and send them to the workshop for production, there is really no one who has a better mind.
The mind is a good thing, but the mind must be used so as not to become stupid, especially when I was a child, the degree of use of the brain is related to the growth of IQ, some farmers in the Fan family manor, missed such an opportunity, unless they are born to think, people who love to imagine will always move, plain life like water, so that people think about things every day are almost the same.
In this way, there is a very big obstacle to the progress of mental power.
The children brought by Fan Jingjing this time may not be very smart, but since entering the Fan family manor, their brain training has not been interrupted, Fan Jingjing knows that only by constantly using the brain, the brain will progress, and even the IQ will grow significantly, the speed of the growth of the IQ of children is very fast, as long as the nutrition can keep up, the IQ can grow faster or slower before the age of twenty, if it can always maintain high speed, even if the original IQ is very mediocre, it can also become the elite of Datang.
This is something that can be brought about by hard work.
Just like a person has to deal with different things every day, exercising his brain power, he will become more and more capable, and after the age of twenty, there is still a chance for slow growth in IQ.
The reason why the IQ degenerates after that is because most people have given up on themselves, unlike when they were young, they were not active in learning.
In this regard, the Niu family has an advantage over the Fan family.
But there are many children in the Fan family, and Fan Jingjing believes that the growth of the Fan family in the future will exceed people's imagination.
"The father of the child? Again, it can be used as an excuse for visiting. ”
Fan Jingjing found that after coming to Lanzhou City, the atmosphere of the Niu family became very gloomy, as if they had received some bad news, but for the sake of the child in Fan Jingjing's belly, they did not dare to urge Fan Jingjing to speed up the pace, fortunately, Fan Jingjing later became more when she took the car, and the pace of progress was finally a little faster, and the Niu family even borrowed a horse from Fan Jingjing, so that Liang Shu and they could also get into the carriage and speed up the pace of progress.
