Chapter 1: The Poorest Lord God in History
On this day, Zhao Dagui woke up, got up from the bed, and felt that the pain in his body had been reduced a lot, but the place where he was hit was still a little painful.
Looking around, it's a very dilapidated rural house, the walls are not even bricks, but corn stalks erected and then plastered with yellow mud, which is neither warm nor beautiful.
"O evil old society..."
Thinking of his current predicament, Zhao Dagui couldn't help but let out an unexplained moan.
After getting out of bed and putting on his shoes, Zhao Dagui limped outside to see what his younger brother and sister were doing.
I saw Zhao Xiaohu and Zhao Xiaomei busy by the stove in the kitchen, preparing breakfast.
"Brother, why did you come out and still lie down and rest?" Seeing their brother come out, the two children hurriedly raised their heads to say hello.
"It's not a problem to lie in bed all the time, and besides, I'm recovering now, it's time to come down and walk around. Zhao Dagui replied weakly, then entered the kitchen, found a wooden stool, and sat down leaning against the wall.
Zhao Xiaohu and Zhao Xiaomei are very capable, lighting fire, burning firewood, fetching water, and cooking porridge in one go, but Zhao Dagui, an adult, can only sit on the sidelines, looking dumbfounded and unable to help.
To be honest, Zhao Dagui is not unable to move at all, and he doesn't want to be infamous for letting children work, but the key is that he doesn't know anything, how to light a fire with a fire sickle and flint, he doesn't know, and he doesn't know what the ratio of water and rice should be in a huge iron pot.
However, even if Zhao Dagui doesn't know how to cook and how to use the earthen stove of this era, he can understand that the rice put in the two children when cooking porridge is obviously too little.
"Just put so little rice, it's not enough for three people to eat, right?" Zhao Dagui said with a frown.
"There is not much rice at home, and if you put more rice, you won't be able to last tomorrow. My sister and I can eat some, the key is that my brother wants to recuperate from his injuries and eat more. Zhao Xiaohu fanned the wind by the stove and replied without raising his head.
Zhao Dagui got up and looked into the clay jar containing rice, only to see that there were only one or two catties of brown rice in it, and this bit of food was eaten by three people, and it was estimated that it would be cut off tomorrow.
It is difficult for the family to be like this, Zhao Dagui sighed, and had a more intuitive understanding of the embarrassment of the Zhao family where he is now.
However, saving food by starving is obviously not the right approach.
Zhao Dagui shook his head, scooped out half a catty of brown rice from the rice bowl, put it all into the iron pot, and cooked it with the previous rice and vegetables.
"However, if you cook all the rice in one meal, you won't have anything to eat tomorrow!" Zhao Xiaomei, the youngest of the three, said in horror.
"Don't worry, I'm almost in good shape, and I'll be able to go out and get a job tomorrow. In the future, my brother will definitely be able to make a lot of money, so you don't have to save money to eat. Zhao Dagui said.
Zhao Xiaohu looked up at his brother strangely, as if he wanted to stop talking, but finally sighed and gave up his plan to persuade his brother.
Seeing a twelve-year-old boy who was only twelve years old and looking so oppressed by life that he couldn't breathe made Zhao Dagui feel uncomfortable for no reason.
"Children are not easy to fool, and life is even more so. Zhao Dagui couldn't help but sigh secretly.
This is Zhao Dagui's third day in this world, and when he talks about the experience of the past few days, Zhao Dagui feels like a dream, and until now it is difficult to believe that he has crossed over.
Zhao Dagui was originally an ordinary young man in the 21st century, born in a fifth-level county, ordinary from childhood to adulthood, and he also had a lot of enthusiasm for the class flower and the school flower when he was young, but he didn't gain anything, even the most ordinary good person card has not been harvested.
took the college entrance examination, went to college, looked for a job, and then was bullied by his boss and old employees in the company, and he never made any achievements.
In 2018, I traveled to Mount Tai in depression, but I fell on a small hillside, rolled over, and then entered a mysterious place similar to a folding space, and finally arrived at a five-color altar, which is the place where the ancestors of the earth came to worship the sky.
After some hard work and passing all kinds of tests set by the ancestors, Zhao Dagui finally arrived at the altar, and then got a small metal ball on the altar, and then was sent out by a mysterious force, and when he came to his senses, he had already arrived in the Qing Dynasty and became Zhao Dagui, the elder brother of Zhao Xiaohu and Zhao Xiaomei.
Zhao Dagui has always felt that he has never met (he thinks he is talented) in the modern world, and he has suffered a lot, but compared with this Zhao brother and sister, he can be regarded as growing up from eating honey.
It turned out that until three or four years ago, the situation of the Zhao family was okay, the father of the family, Lao Zhao, was very capable, usually ploughing the fields at home, and going to Nanyang with others during the slack time to make a little money, which was much better than ordinary farmers.
Although the Zhao family is not a wealthy family, it is also considered to be wealthy, and they have purchased seven or eight acres of land before and after, and they also support their children to go to private schools to study, which is very good in the village.
However, three years ago, Lao Zhao went to Temasek with others, and when he went, he was fine, but when he came back, he encountered pirates, and he couldn't come back after a fierce battle.
What's even more unfortunate is that the mother fell ill after learning the news, and died half a year later, leaving only a few children in the family.
Fortunately, these two children also have an adult brother, who went to private school when he was a child, and later became a child, so he supported the family, so that the two children did not suffer too much.
However, not long ago, this elder brother was involved in a group fight, and beat the son of the richest and most powerful money and grain household in the village, and was finally arrested and sent to the county yamen and beaten fifty boards, and even the identity of the child was dismissed.
These fifty boards are not easy to suffer, the brother of the two children couldn't stand up at that time, and after being carried home, he had a serious illness, and three days ago he vomited a mouthful of blood, unconscious, and when he woke up, this soul was already Zhao Dagui from the current society.
To be honest, Zhao Dagui is very confused about this kind of crossing, saying that it is soul wearing, he has the same name as this ancient Zhao Dagui, and his appearance is the same, but he looks at his body, in addition to being beaten all over his body, it is also similar to his original body.
It's just that if it's a physical crossing, it doesn't seem like it, at least the two children of the Zhao family and the villagers shouldn't treat him as Zhao Dagui.
However, anyway, even such an unpredictable thing as crossing has happened, so Zhao Dagui doesn't plan to delve into it, just regard it as a special effect attached to crossing.
There is a very key problem is that Zhao Dagui has indeed inherited part of the memories of the original owner, at least the blood and family affection between Zhao Xiaohu and Zhao Xiaomei cannot be faked, and he has also inherited many important memories, but there are also some memories that are a little vague.
Luckily, none of this is particularly important.
Out of the caution of the traverser, Zhao Dagui kept talking to the two children, and had some basic judgments about his current situation.
According to the two children, it should be the Qing Dynasty two hundred years ago, and more professionally, it happened to be the beginning of August of the twenty-third year of Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty.
In addition, the place where the Zhao family is located is Sanlipu on the east bank of the Huangpu River under the rule of Modu County, Songjiang Prefecture, Liangjiang, and it is a small village.
This time and place are very interesting, Zhao Dagui knew that the August of the 23rd year of Daoguang was October 1843 of the Western Yuan calendar, and after the signing of the Treaty of Nanjing, the Qing Dynasty agreed to open the five ports of trade, of which the official date of the opening of the port of the magic capital was exactly November 17, 1843, that is, September 26, the 23rd year of Daoguang.
In this way, in less than two months, it will be the day when the magic capital will officially open its port, and with the ability of Zhao Dagui's main god, I believe that it will be able to make a lot of money with the help of the huge business opportunities brought by the opening of the port.
This crossing will automatically get the magic capital hukou, this is considered a crossing benefit, but who doesn't know that I'd rather have a bed in Puxi than a room in Pudong, and finally crossed over, and I have to go to a more dick place, it seems that this luck has not changed much from modern times to ancient times, and Zhao Dagui is also a rare complaint.
Speaking of the two children, the boy's name is Zhao Xiaohu, who is 12 years old, and the girl's name is Zhao Xiaomei, which is one year younger than the boy, that is, 11 years old.
Speaking of the situation of the Zhao family, there are only two acres and three points of land left, and a very dilapidated old-style rural house, and the rest have nothing of value, which is considered to be poor, and the most uncomfortable thing is that there are still a lot of foreign debts outside, which are said to be borrowed from usury.
The family is so poor, Zhao Dagui doesn't complain too much, it's much better than being unaccompanied as soon as he arrives at his own plane, and being interrogated by the government, but his ass may have different opinions.
The only thing that is unhappy is that there is some resentment towards the original owner.,Everyone else left their wives and daughters to take care of the protagonist after the crossing.,But here is a brother and a sister and two drag oil bottles.,I feel like life is not rushing.。
The family is so poor, the breakfast of the three of them is actually very simple, which is to put brown rice and vegetables into a pot to make a big pot of vegetable porridge.
Zhao Dagui, who has always been pampered, frowned and swallowed the porridge little by little, but the two children ate very sweetly, it seemed that this was the first full meal they had in a long time.
It's just that this meal is destined not to be eaten steadily, Zhao Dagui just ate half of it, when he heard the sound of banging on the door outside the courtyard gate, and someone was slamming the door outside.
"Zhao Dagui, open the door, open the door quickly!" the person shouted loudly outside.
"This is Huo Daya, probably here to collect debts. Zhao Xiaohu put the bowl down and said angrily.
"Go open the door. Zhao Dagui sighed and said.
The Zhao family has been getting worse day by day since three years ago, and there are a lot of usury outside, and now they are all pressed on him.
Zhao Xiaohu obediently went out, moved the door latch, and brought the people outside in.
"Yo, you're eating, you're quite idle Zhao Tongsheng. The person who came said with a smile.
Zhao Dagui followed the sound and saw that the man was a strong man in his thirties, wearing a shiny blue shirt, half-open chest, and two iron galls in his hands, with a fierce face, and the most important thing was that the front teeth on his mouth were particularly conspicuous, it seems that this is the origin of Huo Daya's three words.
Such a character, that is, Zhao Dagui has never seen this person before, and he knows that it must be a village bully and hooligan in the countryside, doing dog legs or debt collection for rich people, anyway, he will definitely not be a good person.
As soon as Huo Daya came in, he looked inside and outside the house, and then sat down at the table where the three of them were eating, and stared at Zhao Dagui with a sneer.
It's just that Zhao Dagui is very calm, he drank porridge one bite at a time over there, and he didn't look at Huo Daya, and he didn't seem to realize that there was such a person in the house at all.
Huo Daya wanted to force Zhao Dagui to speak first, but when he saw this, he couldn't help but feel bored.
"Zhao Tongsheng, you borrowed dozens of taels of silver from me at the beginning, it's time to repay the money, right?" Huo Daya slapped the table and said fiercely.
"Huo Daya, the money we borrowed is still a month away, you will come to ask for the debt now, aren't you afraid of breaking the rules?" Before Zhao Dagui could speak, Zhao Xiaohu next to him suddenly became excited, pointing at Huo Daya and shouting.
"Boy, are you calling Huo Daya, there are no rules at all, believe it or not, I sold you to the bitter kiln. Huo Daya was furious, and he raised his hand and wanted to slap it on Zhao Xiaohu's head, but was stopped by Zhao Dagui.
"Something to say, are you coming to my house to beat the child?" Zhao Dagui said coldly, but secretly he couldn't stop baring his teeth.
Although Zhao Dagui grabbed Huo Daya just now, his muscles were also affected, and he felt extremely sour all over his body at this time.
"Hehe, Zhao Tongsheng is calm, and he is not in a hurry at this time, it is really high. Huo Daya's eyes flickered, and his originally fierce expression turned into a smile again, pointing at Zhao Dagui and saying: "In the past, when you had a funeral at home, you borrowed twenty taels of silver from me, and now it is thirty taels of profit."
Besides, some time ago, you offended Zhixian County, and you were beaten with fifty boards, and you borrowed twenty taels of silver from me to catch medicine, and now it is a total of fifty taels of silver, you won't deny this account, right?"
"How can there be so many fifty taels?
We have repaid more than 20 taels of accounts three years ago, why is this debt getting more and more repaid?" Zhao Dagui has no memory of this account, or Zhao Xiaohu knows a little, and he can't help jumping up and crying out.
"Hmph, donkeys roll in debts, things that are clearly written in black and white. Why, you still want to play tricks?" Huo Daya said with a sneer.
Zhao Dagui didn't know what model of usury in the countryside in this era worked, and he didn't know what the details of the original owner's loan three years ago were, but he himself was not very interested in it, as long as he knew that the debt was due in a month.
A month is enough time for him to do a lot of things.
"What if there are so many debts, this debt will not mature until a month later, you will come over to force the debt now, what's the matter, do you want to call up the old people in the village, break this reason and crush it, and talk about it?" Zhao Dagui said nonchalantly.
"Hehe, Zhao Tongsheng is really angry, what is this called, calm and relaxed, right?" Huo Daya wanted to attack on the spot, but seeing that Zhao Dagui was too indifferent, he felt a chill in his heart for no reason, and his hand that wanted to lift the table couldn't help but relax.
The original owner was originally one of the few children in this village, although he was only at the bottom of the real scholar class, but he was also a scholar in the village, although Huo Daya was also a well-known gangster in this area, he was somewhat jealous, and he didn't dare to do too much about some things.
Huo Daya came over this time, firstly, because the original owner's identity as a child was deprived, and there was a lot less deterrence for Huo Daya, and secondly, because someone was plucking behind him, so he wanted to come over and give the original owner a good look.
However, now that Zhao Dagui is the original owner, everything is very different.
Huo Daya is not good at stubble after all, sneered, and his tone became tougher.
"Zhao Dagui, you were a child in the past, and I was somewhat polite, but now that you have been deprived of your fame, don't think that others are afraid of you.
Besides, it is fair to repay debts, even if it is to make trouble with the county government, I am justified, do you want to give it a try. ”
"No matter how much debt there is, it will be a month later. ”
"Hmph, now that you have lost your fame and been seriously injured, and you can't pay back the money now, will you have the money in a month?
I have calculated your family's accounts, and there are only two acres and three cents of land left in the house, which is only ten taels of silver, and this broken house is only ten taels of silver, which adds up to twenty taels of silver, where will you get the money to pay off your debts?
If you can't pay the money at that time, don't blame me for handing you a sign to the yamen, arresting you, and beating you with another fifty boards like before. ”
"Impossible, our family's fields and houses add up, at least more than thirty taels, how can it be so little?" Zhao Xiaohu, who had been silent for a long time, couldn't help but jump out and pointed at Huo Daya and shouted.
"That bit of, how can it be worth so much money, even when there was no war a few years ago, it was less than twenty-five taels.
Besides, even if it's worth twenty-five taels of silver, it's still half a piece of silver, where do you get it?"
"Oh, Brother Huo must have an idea when he came over today, I don't know what Brother Huo Daya Huo has to say?" Zhao Dagui still had a lukewarm attitude.
"We're folks, and I don't want to force your family to die.
In fact, if you want to repay your debts, you don't necessarily have to sell your land and houses, and there are many ways to think about it.
A few days ago, I met a rich family who was kind and kind to others, and there was a shortage of a messenger in the family, and he wanted to buy a maid at a high price.
I think your Zhao Xiaomei is good, so let her go to that house to be a maid, and the accounts between us will be written off, how about it?" Huo Daya finally said his true intention, and stared at Zhao Dagui for a moment.
"No, I don't want to be a maid. Zhao Xiaomei suddenly understood, cried out of wow, and hid behind Zhao Dagui.
The younger brother Zhao Xiaohu was furious, so he wanted to pick up the wooden stool and fight Huo Daya, so Zhao Dagui stretched out his hand to stop.
"The rich family you are talking about can't be surnamed Qian, right?" Zhao Dagui thought for a while, stared at Huo Daya and asked.
The original owner was caught in the lawsuit because he beat the son of the money and grain family in the village, and he was beaten by someone, Huo Daya said so much, Zhao Dagui's heart moved, and he felt that it was possible that the Qian family was still angry after winning the lawsuit, and wanted to take the opportunity to step on it again.
"Hehe, sure enough, Tong Sheng understands.
You can think about it, the Qian family wants to buy maids at a high price now, but it may not be possible in the future, after this village, there will be no such shop.
If you want to raise money, you should settle this deal as soon as possible, otherwise when you arrive, the Qian family is not willing to pay so much money, and then you will have to sell your house and land and sell your sister, then what a loss!" Huo Daya said arrogantly.
"I see, but don't forget that this debt is not due yet, you have to force the debt, and you have to wait a month to come back.
If you ignore the rules, even if I don't have a child now, I can still find a way to clean you up. Zhao Dagui said with a sneer.
"The defured phoenix is not as good as a chicken, I'm still afraid that you won't succeed?" Huo Daya was tough, but he was a little jealous of Zhao Dagui after all, and thought that this debt was indeed not due, and the words that should have been passed on had also arrived, so he stopped being verbose, and left a few cruel words.
When I left, I was still angry, and knocked over the stools and bamboo baskets in the yard.
"What can I do, in a month they will come to force the debt. After Huo Daya left, the two children were anxious and took Zhao Dagui's arm to wipe their tears.
Zhao Dagui wasn't too worried, but after thinking about it for a while, he suddenly thought of a very important thing: "By the way, how much money do we have at home?"
(Note: After some careful consideration, I decided to revise the beginning and change it to the sad mode of forced debt and marriage, which is more in line with the reader's reading habits.)
Book friends who have read the previous version can actually continue to read the original chapters, and the main plot has not changed much.
We apologize for your understanding that the changes may not change. )
