Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the green willows pull branches, the ice and snow melt, and farmers can be seen everywhere in the vast fields. The so-called: the beginning of spring and the sun turns, the rain along the river, the crow chirps, and the spring equinox is dry. After Qingming, it is the planting season.

Different from the mountain, on the nameless mountain where Xianyunguan is located, there are only two farmers, the Wu family and his wife. They also had fields at the foot of the mountain, all of which were distributed by the imperial court, including 20 acres of Yongye field and 80 acres of Koufen field, of which Yongye field could be passed on to descendants, and the government would take back the Koufen field after the death of the person; and on the mountain, they also mined several acres of terraced fields.

Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng also have land, and in the early Tang Dynasty, it was stipulated that Taoist priests and monks could give 30 acres of land, but their fields were no longer in Chang'an, and they were handed over to relatives in their hometowns to manage or plant on their behalf.

In contrast, Zhang Xuanqing, an outsider, is gone, he can't even tell his place of origin, he is a real black household. Therefore, if he wants to farm, he can only go to the Wu couple to lease it.

"Aunt Wu, can I discuss something with you?" In the past few days, Wu Laohan has been stationed at the bottom of the mountain, and Aunt Wu has also run down the mountain twice in three days, and even the meals are sometimes made by Zhang Xuanqing and others, Zhang Xuanqing can only consult with Aunt Wu when she is on the mountain.

Aunt Wu is an old woman in her forties, and she laughed tightly: "Daochang Zhang, you have a matter of, you can say it, the old woman will do it." ”

Zhang Xuanqing said with a shy face: "Then since you say so, you are not welcome." That's the case, Poor Dao wants to borrow a few acres of land from the two of you, not the good land under the mountain, just the one you mine on the mountain, or give a few acres of thin land. ”

"What??," Aunt Wu's eyes widened, the field is the root of the peasant, that is, you can borrow it: "Zhang Daochang, what do you want to plant, you say, we can help plant it." But you want to borrow a field...... Zhang Daochang, I have to ask us to be in charge, I can't be the master of this wife. ”

As he was talking, Yuan Tiangang walked in from outside: "Brother Dao wants to farm?"

Zhang Xuanqing nodded: "Don't hide it from Brother Dao, there are some strange things in the Poor Dao, which are not available in our Central Plains, they are things on another continent." Poor Dao thought privately, and now he is idle, and he plans to try to plant one or two. ”

"Something strange?"

"Another continent?"

Aunt Wu and Yuan Tiangang spoke at the same time, and then Aunt Wu smiled embarrassedly: "What's the strange thing?" Yuan Tiangang shut up.

Zhang Xuanqing thought for a while, folded his fingers and calculated: "There are many strange things, such as sweet potatoes, peppers, potatoes, peanuts, corn, tomatoes, peppers, watermelons, carrots, sunflowers, pumpkins, Champa rice, cotton, mung beans, etc...... Well, it's a lot. ”

"Oops, pepper, I know, it's not that...... Zhang ......"

"Zhang Qian. ”

"Yes, yes, it's still Daochang Yuan who is well-informed, it was brought back by Master Zhang Qian, and it is still the same family as Daochang Zhang. Aunt Wu said.

Zhang Xuanqing was a little embarrassed: "Is it?

"Other...... That old woman hasn't heard of it, has Daoist Yuan heard of it?" Aunt Wu looked at Yuan Tiangang.

Yuan Tiangang stroked his beard and shook his head: "I haven't heard of it in general, these plants are ...... Food?"

"That's right!" Zhang Xuanqing clapped his hands, and then said with a bewitching expression: "Aunt Wu, if you look at this, you lend me the land, and everything I grow belongs to you, if you can't grow it, I will accompany you to harvest it for a year, is this okay?"

"This can't be done, this can't be done, how can you ask for the chief's money!" Aunt Wu hurriedly waved her hand.

Yuan Tiangang proposed: "According to the poor road, it is better to look like this, daughter-in-law of the Wu family, you go back and discuss with Wu Laohan to see if you can lend the land to Brother Zhang Dao; ”

"That's fine. Zhang Xuanqing thought about it, and realized that he was too abrupt, and sighed.

Aunt Wu looked struggling, entangled for a while, gritted her teeth and stomped her feet: "I'll go find my house!" hurriedly ran down the mountain.

After Aunt Wu left, Yuan Tiangang couldn't help but ask again: "Why did Brother Dao remember to farm?"

"It's boring, it's idle to be idle......" Zhang Xuanqing said boredly.

Since Liu Jiannan left, his time to practice martial arts has also begun to decrease, firstly because there is no one to spar him, and secondly, he can't learn new ones and can't be motivated. Every day, I either play chess with Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, or practice calligraphy, calligraphy and painting, and no matter how hard I play the piano, I really have nothing else to do.

Later, when spring returned to the earth and the grass grew and the warbler flew, he wanted to improve the grain production in ancient times and the quality of life of ancient people, so he had such lofty ideals...... Well, I can't make it up, he actually just wants to see if the things he just said have been introduced to China for thousands of years, and whether my **** ancestors can make up a few more ways to eat them.

Yuan Tiangang misunderstood Zhang Xuanqing's thoughts: boring to farming? This is really a secluded retreat in the mountains. But there is still one thing I can't figure out: "What is the other continent that Brother Dao is referring to?"

"Oh, this, come on, come on, I'll tell you......" Zhang Xuanqing thought that being idle was also idle, so he simply popularized geographical knowledge for Yuan Tiangang. What earth is round, seven continents and four oceans, anyway, whether Yuan Tiangang believes it or not, he is responsible for talking nonsense...... Ahem, he is in charge of popular science, whether Yuan Tiangang believes it or not, it is Yuan Tiangang's business.

Fortunately, in ancient times, there was a saying that "the sky is like a chicken, and the earth is like a chicken in the yellow", and Yuan Tiangang accepted Zhang Xuanqing's "geographical knowledge" effortlessly. At the same time, Zhang Xuanqing behaved grotesquely from time to time, and his identity as a "fairy man" and "hidden master" became more and more consistent, and Yuan Tiangang actually believed it...... Believed...... Believe!

In order to explain how he knew that the earth was round, and how he knew the seven continents and four oceans, Zhang Xuanqing had no scruples about pasting gold on his face, saying that he had seen it with his own eyes when he traveled the world. I don't care about the fact that I have never been abroad at all. Let's talk about blacks, whites, blue-eyed and blond hair, and learn two sentences of English from time to time as they appear on TV.

In the evening, the sun set, and the Wu couple came back together. After a day of discussion, the two had already made up their minds, so as soon as they came back, they found Zhang Xuanqing and said that they could give him all the land behind Xianyunguan and not need him to rent it. All you need to do is give them a little seed the next year if all the crops do grow.

This is the wisdom of the peasant, the wisdom of the little people. Of course, Zhang Xuanqing had no problem, and decided that the conditions he had said before would remain unchanged, that if he could not plant it, he would compensate him according to how much grain one mu of land could produce; if it was planted, the fruits could be given to the Wu couple, and he only needed a part of it to eat by himself.

That night, Zhang Xuanqing returned to modern time and space.

......

"It's a stinky flower, get up, you can't sleep here. ”

"Wake up, wake up, go to bed and go to sleep outside, this is where the seeds are sold. ”

"You, what about you, get out of here, don't disturb my business. ”

"Hey, I said, you don't go out to ask for food, why are you going to our place where farm tools are sold and hugging the iron frame to take a nap!"

“......”

In Beizhi County, a sub-seed store and a hardware and farm tool store all welcomed a "guest" today.

He was ragged and unkempt, and when people were not looking, he fell asleep when he entered the door.

And the sleeping place is also very particular, with shelter from the front and back, left and right, so that you can't easily find it.

By the time you find out, he's pretty much asleep. If you chase him, he will leave without saying a word, and he will leave without saying a word, so that people have nowhere to be angry.

The weather is cold, dripping into ice, and there are still more than 20 days before the Spring Festival.

Because of the rendering of TV, people already have the atmosphere of the New Year in their hearts, so for this called Hanako, everyone just sent it away, and they didn't pursue it too much.

But after visiting a few seed stores, Hanako actually hit the idea to the clothing store again, and went to other people's clothing stores to hang out, this time it was not light.

Originally, the Chinese New Year was approaching, and everyone wanted to buy a new dress. But the clothing store is clean, and the customers who come and go are all consumers, and the beggar is dirty, isn't this disturbing business?

So, the beggar visited several clothing stores in a row, but he didn't find a chance to sleep. Even sleeping outside the store, before he could fall asleep, someone came to drive him away, and in the end he could only sigh helplessly.

But it was not without the kindness of the kind, seeing that he was pitiful, or giving him two old clothes, or giving him a red ticket or two, which few people would have done in the past, and it seemed that at the festive season, people began to become kinder than before.

It is not in vain for beggars to collect money, they always remind the person who gives him money, what to pay attention to during the festival, some people he will remind not to take the car, some people he will remind him to stay away from firecrackers, and some people he will remind him not to provoke women during the New Year. In short, chattering, I look like I'm good for you. As for whether others believe it or not, it is unknown.

Later, the beggar saved enough money, bought two new clothes, and went to the bathhouse to take a bath. Unfortunately, he was too dirty, and the bathhouse didn't want to do his business, and even when he slept at the door of the bathhouse, no one paid attention to him.

Helpless, the beggar had no choice but to go to Lotus Township with his clothes. There is a lotus river in Lotus Township, every summer, Hanoi is full of lotus flowers, it is really "the lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are different red." "But in winter, the frozen river surface is three inches thick, and it is not easy to smash through, so it is naturally not suitable for bathing.

However, the beggar bought towels, bath towels, soap, shampoo and other toiletries, ran to the center of the river alone, and stepped lightly on the ice.

Click――

The ice shattered, and then even shattered. It was as if an invisible dark force had shattered the ice into debris and melted into the river, and I really didn't know how much strength the beggar had under his feet.

Then he saw the beggar tear up his dirty clothes, and a fierce man plunged into the hole he had kicked out.
