In the tenth year of Jian'an, in 205 A.D., in the middle of winter.

The land of Jingxiang has just finished a heavy snowfall, the mountains are covered in silver, and the trees are covered with snowflakes, which has a charm of being wrapped in silver.

Such a beautiful scenery, Zhang Xi is not in the mood to appreciate it.

Guan Zi said: Cangqiao actually knows etiquette, and if you have enough food and clothing, you know honor and disgrace.

Poor Zhang Xi, now he is shy in his pocket, he doesn't even have half a five-baht coin, and the rice grain at home is only enough for half a month, how can he be in the mood to enjoy any snow scene.

Nowadays, the people who are not at home on snowy days are all people who are running for life.

Zhang Xi is no exception.

It's just that Zhang Xi is a little special, he is a traverser.

Regarding the question of whether a modern time-traveler can survive when he returns to ancient times, the current Zhang Xi thinks that he is qualified enough to give an answer.

Yes, but no.

Life can always live, people have the strength to be a child, and they can live as a hidden household for the gate valve family, anyway, the wealthy family does not require you to have an identity certificate, and the mountains are full of runaways in these years, and no one has come to investigate the origin of a Qiantou.

It's just that I don't know how long people can live under such living conditions.

But if you want to get ahead, even compete for the king...... Well, don't think about it if you really wear it, even if you claim to be a sage of the mountains and wilderness, a hermit's child, it depends on whether people believe it or not.

Soul piercing is relatively easy, for example, if you cross into a Han Xian Emperor or something, you can directly do it in one step.

If you don't do anything, you can still be a Shanyang public in the end, and you won't lose by lying down.

Zhang Xi is the soul piercing.

However, Zhang Xi's "reincarnation" technique is not very good, and he failed to reincarnate as Cao Pi and Sun Quan, and his family has a lot of family business waiting for him to inherit.

Zhang Xi's soul is wearing a poor disciple of Yingchuan.

Pay attention, it's a son of a poor family, not a common man.

The family and the poor family are actually official eunuchs...... Ordinary landlords are not qualified to call themselves poor children.

For example, a certain governor surnamed Lu in the south in the future felt very good.

Son of the Poor Sect, you have to have a portal so that you can call yourself a Son of the Poor Sect.

And the criterion of the portal is whether or not he has been an official in charge of one party.

Zhang Xi's grandfather was still a county guard, but no one in later generations entered the office, so he slowly became a poor family.

It stands to reason that as a child of a poor family, and in the magical place where the great gods gather in Yingchuan, no matter how Zhang Xi is, he should not worry about food and clothing...... It's really not okay, it's okay to go to Cao Sikong's side and mix up as a petty official.

However, Zhang Xi still fell to the point where his family had no surplus food.

In fact, the reason is also very simple - these are troubled times.

No one likes troubled times, and troubled times are unfriendly to everyone, whether they are the common people of Qianshou or the wealthy families.

It's just that compared to the choice of the people who are left to go into the mountains to be wild people and fend for themselves, the choice of the wealthy family is much broader.

The most common way for wealthy families to deal with troubled times is to divide the family.

To put it simply, it is a long bet, and the most famous is the three brothers of the Zhuge family.

The poor family is not as profound as the family, but in this troubled world, if you just keep the door closed, it is very likely to be served by someone, so the Yingchuan Zhang family made a decision after careful consideration - to separate the family for development.

In this way, Zhang Xi, who has reached the age of 20, as the eldest child in the family, was sent by the family to settle down in Jingzhou and continue the survival of the family.

The reason why I chose the place of Jingxiang is that on the one hand, it is relatively close to Yingchuan and can take care of it in the future, and on the other hand, I also like this place to be unaffected by war all year round, and the north is ...... The north is in a mess now, the Montenegrin army is in turmoil today, the high-ranking cadre Yuan Tan will rebel tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow Wuhuan will disturb the border.

God knows how long it will take Cao Sikong to completely calm down these messes.

The family did not mean to treat Zhang Xi badly, and when they separated the family, they gave enough gold and silver, and arranged for twenty or thirty followers to follow to ensure the safety of the road.

After all, it's just a poor family, and it can't compare with the scale of the migration of hundreds of people in a family.

But neither the family nor Zhang Xi thought that the road from Yingchuan to Xiangyang would be so difficult.

Not long after leaving Yingchuan, the team led by Zhang Xi encountered a robbery by bandits.

Fortunately, it was only a few homeless people who had fallen into the grass, and although they were a little frightened, it was not difficult to repel these homeless people with sticks and stones.

It's just that not long after repelling the bandits, the unlucky Zhang Xi and his party encountered the rout again.

Most of the bandits are ordinary people who can't survive, and some of them are even impersonated by officials and soldiers, with armor and weapons.

After a desperate fight, Zhang Xi reluctantly escaped with the help of servants and his entourage, not to mention most of the gold and silver, and there were only six people left in his entourage.

At this time, it was the most dangerous time in Zhang Xi's life.

It's okay when there are a lot of people, it's organized, it's constrained.

Now there were only six retinues left, and there was still gold and silver money, but there was no hope of advancing, and they were punished for retreating...... Zhang Xi didn't dare to guess what people's hearts were.

After thinking about it, Zhang Xi decided to gather the rest of his entourage together, and made a decision - to divide the gold and silver into seven parts, keep one for himself, and disperse the remaining six equally among the six retinues, and only take the servants on the road himself.

In order to prevent the entourage from being greedy and killing halfway, Zhang Xi also deliberately said that he wanted to cross Nanyang, go south to Fancheng, and then cross the river to Xiangyang, but in fact, he took his servants all the way to the east and went straight to Xinye County.

Along the way, I slept in the open, was cautious, dodged, and finally arrived safely in Xinye County.

And when he arrived at the place, as soon as his mind relaxed, Zhang Xi fell ill.

It's not a special problem, it's just a cold.

But in this day and age, a cold can kill people.

Especially Zhang Xi's long-distance journey, frightened and frightened state, this illness is a full month.

In the eyes of Zhang Xi's servant Qibao, Zhang Xi finally recovered after a month of serious illness, which made this loyal servant who had been with Zhang Xi breathe a sigh of relief.

But only Zhang Xi's own owner knows that in fact, this body has changed owners.

A soul from the present day occupies this shell.

Where did the owner go, whether he was dead or not, modern Zhang Xi does not know.

He only knew that he was still rewatching the 94 version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" before going to bed, but when he woke up, he found that he had become groggy.

In this month, Hyundai Zhang Xi always feels that he is in a state of dreaming and not dreaming, and there are always various scenes in his mind that are spinning around like a marquee.

Sometimes it feels like you're watching a movie, and sometimes it feels like you're experiencing it yourself...... This state lasted for a month.

After a month of torment and fusion, Zhang Xi finally survived and regained his clarity in his mind, but in the same way, he also figured out his current situation.

I'm running out of money!

This month, Zhang Xi and his servant Qibao have been living in the inn, and they have spent a lot of money on medical treatment and medicine, and the remaining money is really only enough to buy corn for a month.

Not having money is a big problem.

There is no time to think about the ultimate philosophical questions such as "who am I, where am I, and what am I going to do", the first thing Zhang Xi has to think about is what he will eat in a month.

As a traverser, Zhang Xi still has a unique sense of superiority at this time - with the experience bonus of his predecessors at a certain point, Zhang Xi feels that the problem of survival is difficult for him at all.

Isn't it just survival, just make some inventions and sell them for money.

First Attempt – Fired Glass...... Zhang Xi took the little Qibao, the master and servant burned the river sand for several days, and the charcoal cost a lot of money, and they didn't burn a fart out of it.

In the future, whoever says that burning sand can make glass, Zhang Xi will be in a hurry.

The second attempt – to make a high distiller...... Zhang Xi held back in the inn room for several days, Leng didn't remember what the internal structure of the still was, and could only rely on his meager chemical knowledge to explore it by himself.

When I finally came up with a still that seemed to look like it might work, I also spent money for the master carpenter to make it...... Zhang Xi unexpectedly found that there was no place to sell wine in the entire Xinye County.

When I went out to inquire, I found out that since Liu Zhijun came to Xinye County, private liquor shops are no longer allowed to sell alcohol..... It is said that Liu Yuanjun has a black guy under his command, who is extremely good at smelling and looking for wine, once he is found secretly selling wine, he will be dragged to the county government to play the board.

There must be wine in the family of the local wealthy family, but in these years, wine itself is a luxury, and Zhang Xi has nothing to do with the local wealthy family, and it is impossible for people to give it for nothing.

The matter of high liquor distillation had to be put on hold for the time being.

Third attempt..... Before Zhang Xi could speak, Xiao Qibao hurriedly knelt on the ground, hugged Zhang Xi's feet and neck and didn't let go, begging his master with a handful of snot and tears, we have half a month's corn money left, don't toss anymore.

In the words of Qibao, the dignified children of the Yingchuan Zhang family, who cultivate and read the heirloom, do not seek to be known to the princes, nor should they engage in business and commerce....... It's almost time to say things like indulging in strange tricks and tricks.

Zhang Xi had no choice but to give up the production attempt of Quyuan plough for the time being...... It's not that I think what Qibao said makes sense, but the main thing is that there is really no money to toss anymore.

And Qibao can be regarded as a wake-up call for Zhang Xi - we are people with status.

In this era, it is already remarkable to be able to recognize a few words, and you can be regarded as a cultural person, let alone a person who has read a book seriously.

And Zhang Xi, the main owner has been reading and learning since childhood, and has accepted the cultural influence of the great Confucians in Yingchuan, and the soul has experienced the baptism of the modern information explosion.

It's right to take the civil service exam to be an official!

And according to the news that Qibao has inquired about on the street in the past few days, Liu Yuanjun, the speaker of Xinye County, has set up a recruitment hall in a small courtyard next to the Ya of Xinye County.

Well...... Recruits?!

That's it...... Well, it's actually a pretty weird thing.

I have heard of the "Recruitment Order", this thing has been used by many people since Qin Xiaogong, and the most recent one is the famous Cao Sikong in the north.

When Cao Cao started his business, he recruited talents, and in one fell swoop, he recruited people like Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Man Chong, Mao Jue, Liu Ye and others.

But this recruitment hall is ...... Was there such an institution in the late Han Dynasty?!

Besides, doesn't it mean that Liu Bei doesn't claim to be "every Cao must be opposed", why did he learn this? !

But no matter what, the Zhaoxian Pavilion does exist, and Qibao even inquired about the address, which is in the small courtyard next door to the county office...... Then go for it.

Put on a sergeant's uniform, bring your own name card, which is equivalent to your resume, and go out to the recruitment hall.

I handed in my resume when I applied for a job in my last life, and I have to submit my resume when I was looking for a job in this life..... Reincarnation.
