Chapter 1 The Thirty-Seventh Year of Wanli

Next Chapter

"Third child, are you awake?"

An early morning call made Li Zirong, who had not slept all night, realize that he had to face up to the fact that he was no longer the 21st century Internet history writer, but actually came to the Ming Dynasty and became a "native" in the 17th century - a 16-year-old boy.

Now Li Zirong's name is Wei Liangchen, and the knock on the door outside the house is his brother Wei Liangqing, who is ten years older than him. In addition to this elder brother, Wei Liangchen also has an older sister who is married to the Wang family in the next village. His mother, Zhao, died seven years ago, and now his father Wei Jinde is taking the brothers to live.

It stands to reason that Wei Liangqing is 25 years old and should have married his own son, but because the Wei family is really poor, no one in Zuo Jin is willing to marry his daughter to suffer, so Wei Liangqing has been playing single. For this reason, Wei Jinde is so anxious that he can't do it, but no matter how anxious he is, he can't help it, just the seven or eight acres of thin land at home, it can be regarded as God's grace to support his grandfather and son, how can he still expect to ask for a daughter-in-law.

As the eldest brother, Wei Liangqing is also real, he knows the situation at home, and he is not complaining that his father failed to get him a daughter-in-law.

For his younger brother, Wei Liangqing is really good, and the snack is dressed tightly by Liangchen, just like his father, gritting his teeth for Liangchen to go to social studies. In order to one day, his younger brother can be admitted to Xiucai and glorify the lintel of his Wei family. Even with it, if the brother can be admitted to Xiucai, although it is not as beautiful as a Zhongju person, how can he also be a student, and then not only will the rent in the field be exempted a lot, but he can also marry a daughter-in-law as an elder brother. It is not easy to find a yellow flower girl, but there will always be a widow who can remarry who is willing to find a promising Xiucai to be an uncle.

Speaking of which, Wei Jinde has high hopes for his two sons, he himself studied social studies for a year when he was a child, but he has suffered countless precepts, but he can't memorize more than ten sentences in "Hundred Family Names". I can't make it myself, and it's not a material for reading, so I hope that my son will be strong and his father. For this reason, Wei Jinde specially asked Mr. Social Studies to name his two sons, his generation is the Jinzi generation, and the son's generation is the good character generation, so one is named "Liangqing" and the other is named "Liangchen", which is really full of meaning.

For these two names, Wei Jinde gave Mr. Social Science two chickens and a pound and a half of pork, however, it backfired, Liangqing failed to become "Liangqing", but became a farmer like his father. Although Liangchen is still young, he can enter social studies at the age of nine, and for six years, he can't even pass the children's exam.

This is big, and Liangchen doesn't have the heart to read it anymore, he doesn't have any ambition in his chest, he steals chickens and dogs all day long, fights and fights, and is a naughty teenager. The people who went to the Wei family to sue were endless, and the Mr. of Social Studies was so angry that he clearly told Wei Jinde that he would never teach this student again in his life. Three months ago, Liangchen secretly went to the horse factory of Taifu Temple in the county to steal other people's horses, but was arrested and beaten half to death and carried back.

No matter how stubborn his son is, no matter how stubborn he is, he is always his own flesh and blood, how can Wei Jinde watch his son wait for death at home like this. So he begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother to borrow some money from someone, and went to the county to ask Lang Zhong to save his son's life. The two of them served and took care of them day and night, and only then did they save half of Liangchen's life. It's just that the two of them don't know that the good minister is back, but he has become a different person.

Outside the house, seeing that his younger brother did not respond, Wei Liangqing was a little uneasy, leaned the hoe against the wall, and stretched out his hand to push open the door. It is said to be the door of the house, but it is just two planks and a door bolt, and on a windy and rainy day, the sound of "squeaking" can ring all night.

"Big... Big brother..."

Seeing Liangqing come in, Wei Liangchen was very nervous, he had not yet accepted this era, let alone adapted to his new identity, and said in his heart that it was impossible not to panic.

"Wake up,"

Wei Liangqing didn't notice that the look on his younger brother's face was wrong, and when he saw that he was about to get up, he hurriedly stopped: "Don't move, Mr. said, your injury is not yet complete, and you can't move lightly, otherwise you will be afraid of being disadvantaged by your hind legs." ”

"Oh."

Wei Liangchen vaguely agreed, took advantage of the situation, and lowered his head slightly, so as not to be noticed by Liangqing about his panic.

"Daddy went to the field before dawn, and I just finished picking up water, and I'm going to help Daddy right away. In addition, my father asked me to tell you that my eldest sister will come to see you in two days. ”

Wei Liangqing said and put a piece of pancake on the table, because he was worried about the work in the field, he didn't say much to Liangchen, nodded and took the hoe to his own field at the entrance of the village. Liangqing is like this, she is silent by nature, and she looks very dull.

Not long after Liangqing left, Liangchen got up from the bed, although he was beaten not lightly by the people of the Taifu Temple Horse Factory, but after all, his body was a teenager, his skin was thick, and he had been raised for so many days, and it was almost good. The pancakes on the table were still hot, but the color was a little worse, and Liangchen knew that this was mostly made by the eldest brother Liangqing.

Taking a bite of the pancake, Wei Liangchen searched the memory of the owner of the lower body, and knew that the eldest sister was not married to the sister of the Wang family in the next village, but the daughter of the second uncle, who was sold to the Yang family as a child daughter-in-law when she was a child. As for the second uncle, his whereabouts are unknown, anyway, for so many years, Liangchen has not heard his father talk about it, and it is estimated that most of them died outside.

After the whole pancake was down, Liangchen felt that his stomach was quite steady, it was already bright outside, he really couldn't stay in the house, so he got up from the bed, tried carefully, and only walked to the courtyard after the injured right leg was fine.

The courtyard is a typical small farm yard, with three large rooms, a kitchen, a thatched house and a utility room for things. Except for the three rooms of the large house, which were made of bricks, the rest were made of adobe and covered with hay and tiles. In the corner of the courtyard there was a large vat, which was full of water, and there were two wooden barrels on the side, which were wet. Under the eaves of the porch hangs a basket with garlic in it. Other than that, there is not much in the yard.

The whole courtyard didn't feel too bad for Wei Liangchen, he originally thought that this Wei family was just a few grass houses, but now it seems to be much better. When he walked to the thatched house, Wei Liangchen smelled a foul smell, and then found that the wooden squat of the thatched house had been moved, and the manure in the manure pit was mostly missing.

Now is the Ming Dynasty in the 17th century, chemical fertilizers and pesticides must not be available, farmers farming is the farmhouse fertilizer, so this farmhouse fertilizer is very expensive, unless there is really no way, otherwise the farmer is not willing to get rid of it outside, which is the origin of the so-called fertilizer water does not fall into the field of outsiders.

However, most farmers hoard farm manure that is not enough for their own land, so they often need to go to the city to buy it, which gives rise to an industry called manure shop. The dung dealers dragged the dung out of the city and sold it, pouring it back and forth, making a lot of money. Dung workers are also a very popular profession, and the income is good compared to ordinary people.

If you don't have the money to buy it in a dung store, you can only go out to pick up manure in your spare time, and most of the manure is from cattle, horses and livestock, and the most of them are dog dung. Wei Liangchen remembered that before he went to social school, he was often called out by his father Wei Jinde to pick up dog feces.

For this reason, there will be several disputes about stealing dung in the village every year, and in the end, most of the villagers will come forward to make peace and suppress the matter. Otherwise, if you go to the county for some "", the county will be annoyed, and the village elders will have no face.

After going around in the courtyard for half a circle and finding out his "family background", Wei Liangchen sat on the threshold with a headache. It's not that he has a headache about how he came to the Ming Dynasty, the so-called has come, then it is safe, things have happened, and Liangchen knows that the only thing he can do is to adapt to this era, not to resist and resist, that is not good for himself. You can't just regenerate the front foot and end it with the back foot.

Liangchen's headache now is how he can survive in the Ming Dynasty, specifically, how to change his fate. He didn't want to be a farmer like his father and brother, facing the loess with his back to the sky, and if he did, he wouldn't be sorry that God would give him a chance to live again.

In the previous life, there was no chance to wave, but in this life, you must always go back in style.

Only, how can he change his fate?

After thinking about it, Liangchen felt that he had only one way to go, and that was to study and take the imperial examination.

In the Ming Dynasty, it was definitely better to be a scholar than to be a farmer, otherwise, why should his father Wei Jinde and his brother Wei Liangqing bother to eat and drink for him to go to social school. However, the problem is that if Liangchen is not mistaken, Wu Fuzi of Social Studies said in front of his father Wei Jinde that he would never teach Wei Liangchen as a student again in his life.

In other words, in social studies, good ministers can't go.

In addition, the most terrible thing is that since he failed the government examination two years ago, Wei Liangchen refused to study hard, and wasted it for two years. At the beginning, one of his students had already been admitted to Xiucai, and the others either gave up their studies to work as a farmer or went to the city to apprentice, so he spent all day with gangsters and ruffians, and his reputation was already stinky, where could he go to school again.

This is really a fatal thing, in the Ming Dynasty, if you want to change your fate, for the children of peasant families, there is only one way to study the imperial examination, but this road is broken because of the "nonsense" of the previous master of the body, Wei Liangchen is anxious and angry, but he can't attack. Scolding and scolding, isn't it himself, you must know that he is Wei Liangchen now.

Alas!

Liangchen sighed, and couldn't think of any good way for a while, so he pondered to go outside. Since he broke his leg, speaking of which, he hasn't been out for three months.

After a hundred days of breaking bones and bones, it has always been impossible for the older generation to speak.

It's just that when he got up from the threshold, Liangchen suddenly chuckled, because he realized a bigger problem, that is, this year seemed to be the thirty-seventh year of Wanli.
