1 Improving lives
In the spring of the ninth year of Hongwu, in the Tianfu area, willow trees sprouted, peach trees bloomed, and a piece of spring!
Liujia Village, 30 miles away from Nanjing, has many willow trees and more green!
The door of a house at the entrance of the village opened, and a handsome young man of medium to upper height strode out of it.
His name is Zhang Yifan, and his soul has been pierced to the Ming Dynasty for a month. Integrating the memories of the original owner, after this month's running-in, he can be regarded as adapting to this new identity.
But, to be honest, this environment is still a bit difficult for him to adapt to!
Not to mention anything else, just the most basic eating, drinking, and sleeping is really very inconvenient for a person in the future.
In the future generations, big fish and big meat, that is disgusted; But here, if you want big fish and big meat, even if it is a landlord's house, it is not easy!
In later generations, all kinds of drinks, as long as you want to drink, are only a few dollars; But here, even the emperor Lao'er can't have so many tricks!
In later generations, Zhang Yifan has evolved to the point where he rinses with water and uses wet toilet paper to effectively protect chrysanthemums; But here, even if it is the landlord's house, every time you go to the toilet, it is not very friendly to that part of the body!
In the afterlife, if you want to play, what entertainment is not available? But here, the singing troupe passed by, and people from all over the country rushed to see it, for no other reason, it was rare!
The most important thing is that Zhang Yifan's soul wears a flesh body, and he is not from the landlord's family, but grew up eating hundreds of meals in the village.
Now, he has reached the age of sixteen, reaching the legal age of majority in the Ming Dynasty, and he will pay taxes and serve next.
If it were another dynasty, Zhang Yifan's identity would be very sad. But in this Hongwu Dynasty, it's okay.
Because the current emperor Zhu Yuanzhang is the only real poor people in history, he understands the people's sufferings and is really good to the people!
No, Zhang Yifan also got an acre of land.
Of course, this is not special to him. At least at this time, how could Zhu Yuanzhang know about him!
After the chaos of the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, the population decreased sharply, Zhu Yuanzhang formulated a policy to divide the land for the people to cultivate, and encouraged the reclamation of wasteland and exempted from taxes, which was a national policy, and Zhang Yifan was only one of the beneficiaries.
Although he has a field, there is also a problem for Zhang Yifan, that is, he doesn't want to farm by himself!
After all, it is the 21st century, and in the future, it will definitely not be done to live this day with the loess facing the sky with its back to the sky.
As for being an official, when the Ming Dynasty first opened the country, it was actually quite easy.
The imperial examination system has only just begun to be implemented, and it will take time for the official selection process to be formalized. Because of the small number of scholars, Zhu Yuanzhang even retained those former Yuan officials who hated him. If there is a person with some ability in various places, he can also be assigned to the official job if he is recommended to go up.
But the key problem is that being an official in this Hongwu Dynasty is definitely a high-risk profession!
As long as it is a person of later generations, they basically know that this Hongwu Emperor is quite unfriendly to officials!
Therefore, Zhang Yifan's plan now is that he doesn't want to be an official or farm, but he wants to improve his life!
How can it be improved?
Doing business is a road, and the Hongwu Dynasty does not charge taxes on ordinary small transactions, even if it is a tax-charged business, it is only thirty taxes and one.
However, Zhang Yifan does not plan to take this path, because he has a greater capital to use, that is, knowledge from later generations.
Thanks to his relatively serious life in his later life, he likes to read all kinds of books, and he has also been a travel anchor, so he has a strong ability to be independent.
Using this knowledge, not to mention being rich and rich, it is still easy to make yourself live a better life!
No, the first thing to start doing is to improve the diet.
After seeing Zhang Yifan out of his own door, he shouted to the next door: "Erniu, let's go!" ”
Hearing his voice, a sturdy young man immediately popped out next door, ran to Zhang Yifan's side with a smile on his face and said, "Brother Fan, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" ”
Zhang Yifan listened, smiled, turned around and walked out of the village, and said at the same time: "Your brother hasn't come yet, it is estimated that there are not many birds this time, so it would be good to change places another day!" ”
Er Niu obviously didn't care, just followed him with admiration and asked, "Brother Fan, why are you so smart?" It doesn't take any effort to eat meat and fish, which is amazing! ”
Zhang Yifan listened, pointed to his brain and said: "People have brains, don't you have a way to use your brains more!" ”
"Then I know why I can't think of it!" Er Niu listened to it and said regretfully, "My father always scolds me for having no brains!" ”
Zhang Yifan smiled after hearing this: "Don't worry, I'll share some of you when I go back." ”
"Brother Fan, can you divide your brains?" When Erniu heard this, he was suddenly surprised.
”……“
Zhang Yifan and Er Niu chatted for the day, and when they came to a hill near the official road, a young man as thin as a monkey greeted them. This man is the big cow, and he is in charge of watching the cage where the birds are catched.
The cage for catching birds is made of bamboo, a very simple kind, the kind that Zhang Yifan saw catching pigeons on the Internet before, and he couldn't get out after getting in.
The principle is very simple, after he told his neighbor Daddy Niu, Daddy Niu made it, and he just moved his mouth.
Then, the nearby birds became stupid birds in the mouths of the big cows and two cows.
Zhang Yifan doesn't eat it alone, but every time he distributes it to the people in the village, especially the pregnant sister-in-law Tian, who has it every time.
His parents died early, and he had no relatives, but he was able to survive thanks to the help of these villagers. Thanksgiving, this is a must!
This time, a total of eight birds were caught, and all of them were tied to the big bull and fluttered, which made him very happy.
The second ox has a strong body, so it is responsible for carrying the birdcage, but it is not heavy.
As for Zhang Yifan himself, he just picked a dog's tail and played with it.
The three of them went down the mountain to the Liuhe River on the other side of the official road. There's also a fish cage over there.
At this time, a group of people appeared on the official road.
Although these people were dressed in civilian clothes, they all rode horses, needless to say, they must be the powerful families in Nanjing.
There are two people at the head, they are teenagers and girls, and they look about the same age as Zhang Yifan, but the man is a little older and more heroic.
Of course, this should also have the bonus factor of matching knives and riding horses on their bodies.
Zhang Yifan watched from a distance, but paid more attention to the girl.
Young and beautiful, wearing a women's samurai uniform, she has the spirit of a heroic woman, and she is heroic!
This type is really rare, at least in later generations!
He was looking at it, when suddenly he saw the girl holding the whip in her hand and pointing at them and saying, "Stand still, you men!" ”
