Preface!!!

If you want to see how to make a lot of money quickly, please be careful. This is not a happy story. It is normal to make losses as well as profits in business.

My family was very poor in the early days, really poor!!!

Create an imaginary dynasty from scratch, step by step.

The prices are based on those of the Song Dynasty. According to the settings in the text, prices will fluctuate and are not completely based on the prices of the Song Dynasty.

Some of the prices are set privately because there is no reference (or maybe I didn’t find it), so please don’t take it too seriously!

Food is called differently in each place.

(You can point out any unreasonable parts in the article in the comments. If there are any typos that were missed, we will revise them together after the article is finished. Thank you!)

Without further ado, let’s get started!

In the dark cave, a skinny woman was lying on a shabby wooden bed, covered with an old cotton quilt.

"Our eldest brother finally got married, but this woman fell ill right after she got home. If..."

"Don't talk nonsense. If Big Brother hears you, he will definitely scold you."

who? Who is speaking?

The person on the bed suddenly opened her eyes. She had just heard the voices of two strange men. Regardless of her aching head, she quickly turned her head and looked to her side vigilantly.

The surroundings were dark and she could only see vaguely. After a quick look around, she didn't see anyone else except her.

As she breathed a sigh of relief, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her forehead, causing her to scream out, "Ah!"

The two people who had just walked out of the cave heard the painful groan, looked at each other, and ran back in panic.

The wooden door creaked unpleasantly and the light in the room became brighter, allowing one to see the furnishings inside clearly.

"You, sister-in-law, are you okay?"

One of the men spoke, looking worried, and stood by the cave entrance, not daring to get closer.

The man next to her looked at her, turned and ran away, not knowing what he was going to do.

He Xiaocui, no, she is Ji Wenhe, she traveled through time!

There are more memories in my mind that do not belong to me, but belong to the original owner.

The original owner's family suffered from famine, and she fled with her family. Because she had two younger brothers, her parents wanted to sell her to an old widower.

The old widower had a mouth full of yellow teeth and his face was covered with pimples. When he opened his mouth, a foul odor could be smelled from two miles away. According to local people, his first two wives were beaten to death.

He Xiaocui was afraid that she would be beaten to death, so she begged her parents for mercy, but in the end she was sold.

She found an opportunity to escape and followed the large group of people fleeing famine all the way to Shenjia Village.

Outside the village, she was seen by some village scoundrels, who took advantage of the fact that she was alone and tried to tease her. No one came forward to help her, so in order to protect her innocence, she resolutely jumped into the river, but was rescued by Shen Rongshan who was passing by.

In public, with her clothes wet, she was carried up by a strange man. Rumors spread everywhere. When the village head found out, he arranged their marriage.

In February, the water in the river was freezing cold. The original owner held on for two days, but she couldn't make it in the end. She passed away last night, and it was her who woke up.

After Ji Wenhe received all the memories, the pain seemed to ease a lot. He slowly raised his head and looked at the thin man standing beside the irregular hole.

When the original owner came to this house, she had a high fever and was unconscious. She only knew that Shen Rongshan had two twin brothers, and he just called her sister-in-law.

"you......"

As soon as I opened my mouth, my voice became hoarse and my throat felt itchy and sore.

Seeing her touching her neck and frowning uncomfortably, the man immediately turned around and went to the kitchen to pour a bowl of cold water.

He seemed a little afraid of her, and stretched out his arm in front of her, just within her reach.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, drink some water. Wenshan has gone to look for his elder brother and will be back soon."

Ji Wenhe nodded and raised his hand to take the bowl: "Thank you very much."

After drinking half a bowl of cold water, her body became even colder.

He was lying on a straw mat, covered with a quilt that was so worn out that it had become stiff, and his cotton-padded jacket was covered with patches of various colors.

"May I have your name."

The man took the remaining half bowl of water from her and retreated to the cave entrance: "My name is Shen Yuanshan, and the one who just left is my twin brother, Shen Wenshan."

Noticing that she was shivering with cold, he turned around to look at the open wooden door, then walked over and closed it.

She is my brother's wife, their sister-in-law. Although they are family, I don't know much about her personality and don't know if she is easy to get along with. I'm afraid I will do something wrong and make her unhappy.

"Sister-in-law, my brother will be back soon."

Then he turned and went to the cave next to him, where they slept, took out a quilt, covered her with it, and then went back to the edge of the cave.

"Sister-in-law, are you still feeling unwell? You fell into the river and caught a cold. The doctor from the next village came to see you and said that you, you..."

He said he wouldn't last many days, and asked them to prepare for his funeral.

Ji Wenhe wrapped two quilts tightly around himself. His hands and feet were cold and he could not feel any warmth on his body. He looked at the boy with a sad expression and comforted him.

"I'm fine. Other than a slight headache and a cold, everything else is fine."

The man in front of him looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old, and his exact age could not be determined. He was so thin that only a skeleton was left, just like his own body.

The original owner was a girl, her parents favored boys over girls, and she had two younger brothers, so she was not allowed to enjoy the good food and drinks at home.

The family had been fleeing from famine for almost three months, suffering from hunger, cold, and fear. Their physical condition was worse than before, so they could not survive the cold and died.

Ji Wenhe sighed softly. After the original owner escaped from the old widower, she had overcome many difficulties along the way, but in the end, she still...

I hope you can be reborn into a good family and live a happy life.

In this life, I will live well for you.

"Yuanshan, where is your brother?"

The original owner’s husband, no, it should be his husband now.

"My eldest brother has gone to the village head's house. Since my sister-in-law is marrying into our family, we need to get your identity documents and household registration as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the government comes to investigate, they will arrest you as a bandit."

Linyue State had been in the midst of war in recent years, and Shen Rongshan was captured on his way to the market as a conscript because he was tall and looked strong. The war was settled five months ago.

Ji Wenhe looked inside the cave. The bare walls were not enough to describe how poor and miserable this family was.

There was a tattered wooden bed under him, a table with crooked legs, a faded wooden box with holes eaten by bugs, and two small stools that looked new and must have been built not long ago.

Nothing else.

"Yuanshan, I caught a cold earlier and have been feeling dizzy the entire time. I can't remember how many days I've been here."

"It's been two days. My sister-in-law suddenly fainted after she got home and has been sleeping until just now."

Shen Yuanshan observed her quietly and saw that she was looking at the house with a frown on her face. He realized that it was because her family was too poor.

"Sister-in-law, our family is very poor, but don't worry, with us and my brother here, we will definitely let you live a good life."

"Now that the war is over and Linyue has won a great victory, the government has posted a notice and the emperor has ordered that all taxes and levies will be exempted for three years. From now on, we don't have to hand over our harvest."

Ji Wenhe learned from the original owner's memory that in order to fight in the front, the people had to hand over more than half of their harvest. Of course, there were also corrupt officials who took matters into their own hands and forcibly took away all the harvest.

On the surface, it was for the war on the front line, but in fact, the money was all embezzled privately. However, no one dared to ask for an explanation because those people would die inexplicably.

They were not the only poor family in the village; every family was poor. Even if they didn't hand over the grain, they still had to worry about food, let alone after they handed it over.

With only two meals a day, poor people probably never have enough to eat.

Just as I was trying to find out some information, I heard hurried footsteps outside.

"Yuanshan, I called you back, brother."

It’s Shen Wenshan.

Two elongated shadows stepped into the cave, with their backs to the light.
