At the end of April, the Tang Dynasty Third Route Army pressed the Goryeo people to the death on the front line of Pyongyang, facing the 170,000 wolf and tiger army led by Su Dingfang, Xue Rengui, and Liu Renliang, three famous thugs in the early Tang Dynasty, the 160,000 Goryeo army temporarily put together by the old, young and disabled was like a large herd of lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and could only wait for the other party to rush up and bleed themselves.

Du Feng, a middle-aged beautiful man who seems to be elegant and handsome, has a cruel and cold beast heart, and he will do everything to successfully take Goryeo, and all kinds of inhumane means emerge in an endless stream, and there is no grass everywhere the army goes. When the stock of grain ran out, Goryeo was like a hell on earth, and under the pressure of war and famine, a large number of Goryeo refugees left their homes and fled to neighboring countries.

A large number of counterfeit and shoddy Silla women (pretending to be Korean women) flowed into the population market, causing an incalculable blow to the old brand of Silla maids, while men were trafficked to Liaodong, Huanyou, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places where there was a shortage of labor.

As the price of the Silla maid who has been supplying the high-end market has been hit like never before, Chang'an City in the rear has been affected, and even the well-off Hu account room has carefully selected and purchased a beautiful personal maid, and the Qian housekeeper has poked the rights and wrongs of the Hu account room after the predecessors, and looks like he can't eat grapes and shout sour.

Ying also wanted to buy a few while it was cheap, but I refused it sternly. It's not the kind of grasshopper in the autumn who listens to the call in a cage and kicks its legs in two months. Raising dogs and cats for a long time is inseparable, people have to live for decades, in case I cultivate a relationship again, the two ladies come to be jealous, play a wave or something, I have to die of sadness. (The Tang Dynasty did not have a people-oriented statement, and the concept of class was particularly strong, and the benevolence of the house refers to the people of the Tang Dynasty.) To kill a slave at home, you only need to go to the government to say hello, for all kinds of reasons, even farting too stinky can be an excuse, this is true)

It has come to the summer grain harvest season in various places, and the Tang government, which is based on agriculture, has taken it as a top priority, and in the month before and after, all strong men who have fields at home have to go home to farm. Officials with fiefdoms, from princes and princesses to lazy landlords like me, all had to participate in the whole harvest. The imperial court sent officials to various places to supervise and report, mobilized all the labor, and the people of the whole country worked together to take food from God. The summer grain harvest is a season of thunderstorms and hailstorms, and the consequences can be serious if local officials mismanage and cause losses.

The papermaking workshops and flower water workshops in Wang's Zhuangzi were all suspended, and all craftsmen, regardless of men and women, went home to harvest wheat with pay. Cheng Chu, who was training in Jiannan Road, also hurried back, and Princess Lanling also respected the orders of the imperial court to supervise the collection of grain, and did not run to me for the time being. And I, the lazy head of the family, was also called up by Ying to work before dawn, and the whole palace jumped up and down in an instant, and was busy.

"Do you have to wear this?" I felt that Ying was dressing me up as an eight-bag disciple of the beggar gang, "Isn't it okay? I'm embarrassed to wear this to go out. ”

"Don't talk, it's only a day before you get up, and God will blame you for delaying the opening of the sickle!" Ying's face was full of anxiety, and she hurriedly hung up her head for me, turned to the second daughter who was putting on her shoes and shouted: "Hands and feet are sharp, and the confinement is grinding!" Hurry up and get a hand! ”

The second daughter was shouted by Ying, and she ran over to help before she had time to hook her shoes, "You give your husband a head, and I'll go to the yard to say hello." Lao Qian just didn't pinch the direction well last year, which caused his husband to fall seriously ill, and this year, if the sacrifice is indiscriminate, he will have to peel off his old skin. After saying that, he turned around and went out in a hurry, and the door closed with a "bang", so scared.

There was silence in the room, and both of them were scared to death. The second daughter and I wiped the cold sweat oozing from our foreheads and looked at each other in horror, "Hurry up and drape me, be careful that the skin is peeled." Touching the messy hair that the second daughter hadn't had time to clean up, he sighed: "This is the real Mrs. Fate." Second daughter, you can't do it yet. ”

The second daughter nodded in agreement. The hands and feet are fast, like a ghost.

"Pull this ribbon down on your neck a little bit, cover your face, it's uncomfortable." I was very uncomfortable with this outfit, so I suggested to my second daughter that I want to change my look slightly, "The strap on my waist and back is also loosened, and my spine is uncomfortable." ”

The second daughter shook her head, with a smile in her eyes, and whispered: "No, the concubine will die." ”

"Forget it." Ying attaches great importance to this ceremony, and it is not good for her to be angry with the second daughter. "Will you go in a moment?"

The second daughter shook her head happily, relieved that she could not participate in this ceremony.

"Well, anyway, it's all feudal superstition, coaxing melon seeds, it's better to participate less." I helped the second daughter tighten the rope behind her back, it was still dark outside, and the candlelight reflected a vague garbage heap-like object in the bronze mirror, which really couldn't be connected with a creature like a human, and asked the second girl: "What should you do if you meet a guy wearing my outfit in the middle of the night?" ”

"Call." The second daughter replied seriously.

"What's the call?"

"Fight ghosts!"

"Correct." I rewarded the second daughter with a five-cent slap on the buttocks, "Then I won't go out now?" Seeing that she had cleaned it up for me, she asked hesitantly, "Will it scare others?" ”

Before the second daughter had time to make a move, a thunder sounded outside, can't God get used to my dress? But I haven't gone out yet.

Ying hurriedly pushed the door and came in, "Husband, go out when you are done, the farmers are waiting in the field." Thunder early in the morning is not a good sign. He explained to the second daughter: "You look after the house, call the kitchen to make a meal, and when you get it, you will send someone to pull it to the ground with a cart, and all the half-fan pigs that are hung are done." "After that, I'll leave.

The second daughter nodded.

"Our family is having dinner today?" As I walked, I asked, "It's going to cost a lot of money, right?" ”

"In the next ten days, our family will eat, and the farmer has been busy with the family for a year, so you can't be stingy at this time." Ying said seriously: "Although our family's rent is not much, but the farmer's family is not rich, and there is a lot of labor to come back to harvest wheat, who will come out of our family?" ”

Ying's natural tone warmed my heart, and it was completely unrelated to the landlord's wife in the primary school textbook, the landlord's wife was so conscious, of course I, the landlord, could not lag behind, and proposed: "Can't we collect less rent?" The family now has a little surplus, and it is enough to eat less. ”

"Not like that!" My motion was immediately rejected, "It is only natural for them to plant our land and pay rent." There is no reason to reduce the land rent and find someone to scold you. ”

"Who? Who scolds? "Could it be that if I reduce the rent, I will attract criticism from the villagers? What is the reason, "Aren't the bankers willing to reduce?" ”

"If they are willing, I wish you didn't want to rent it." Ying pulled me to the door and beckoned the Qian steward and the servants who were waiting outside to follow, "If the husband doesn't want to meet people in this circle, he can reduce it." Our family is going to make this start, how will other families live? I'm afraid that Princess Lanling will be able to come to our door tomorrow to find our matter. Ying smiled and sent me forward, letting me walk in front of everyone, "The husband takes the lead, and when he goes to the ground to worship, listen to the housekeeper's arrangement, if the woman's family can't participate, the concubine will watch from a distance for a while." ”

"Well, don't worry! If there is a husband, our harvest will definitely be good! After listening to Ying's explanation, it seems that it will not work to seek benefits for the villagers, since everyone is used to this, I don't need to worry about this, the big deal is to subsidize the farmers in the winter.
