Crossing the famine, I am a poor fish, and my descendants have to work hard

The old guys didn't care what he said. The deed was signed with his name, and he still dared to lie.

beat.

He won’t be honest unless he is beaten.

He didn't dare use weapons, he just threw a few punches. After all, he was not the main culprit.

But as the village chief, he did not stop them and even dared to sign the deed, which showed that he did not take the Zhang family seriously.

The village chief cried out in grief.

But no one in Zhengjia Village dared to step forward. They were all a bunch of selfish people. Such a village would not produce many good villagers.

After fighting for a long time, I felt that the enemy had been beaten to a pulp and their anger had subsided. The city gates were about to be closed.

A few people said goodbye and walked back.

After walking a few steps, Zhang Sandao thought for a moment, then went back and broke Boss Zheng's leg.

They have no money and are fleeing famine, so their legs cannot be healed.

The laws of the Daliang Dynasty stipulated that people with physical disabilities could not serve as officials in the court and could not obtain official titles.

This also completely cut off the Zheng family's chance of rising, although that loser didn't have much of a chance in the first place.

But it’s better to be thorough.

Sun Zhang also vented her anger.

"Bah, you are a bunch of bastards. Evildoers will be punished. This is your retribution for selling other people's daughters."

I feel like I’m done with the scolding.

comfortable.

So I went to find Zhao Yuanzhen.

Zhao Yuanzhen raised her eyebrows when she saw Zhang Sandao turning back to break his leg.

The old man is quite cruel.

But it suits her taste very well.

I just don't know if Zheng Lao Da, who has a broken leg, is still his mother's favorite.

Several people untied the horses, led them to the official road, mounted their horses and walked back.

Although I had to pay 5 cents to enter the city, I felt very comfortable.

Zhang Sandao motioned to Sun Zhang to take the money. His family had paid for the trip to the city. It didn't make sense to ask someone to do the work and pay for it.

The village chief did not stop it. This was also correct.

After entering the city, everyone went to the courtyard.

"They're back, Dad and the others are back."

As soon as I entered the yard, I heard everyone shouting.

It seems that this group of people are still very worried!

Zhao Yuanzhen carried Sun Zhang down and handed the horse to Zhang Xinbai.

"This time we are not only teaching Zhengjia Village a lesson for selling our Zhang family's daughter. We are also letting everyone know that our Zhang family is not afraid of trouble and cannot be bullied by others for no reason. Only by uniting together can we go further."

The village chief was talking to everyone.

Zhang Qingyan took a large pot of boiled tea and poured tea for the elderly group one by one.

Bamboo tube for teacup.

Zhang Qingyan is really grateful to these grandfathers and uncles.

Listening to my mother talk about how horribly they were beaten, I felt like the depression that had been suppressed in my heart was finally released.

Evildoers will be punished for their evil deeds, and those beasts deserve it.

Everyone was listening to the elderly group’s story.

Zhao Yuanzhen had nothing to do, so she went back to her room.

"Mom, do you want to take a bath? I've boiled some water and will bring it in for you!" Qian Xiaohui thought that now that she had a warm house, she could take a bath.

"Okay, carry it in."

Zhao Yuanzhen really wanted to take a bath.

Find her big bathtub and pour the bucket of water you brought in into it.

I carried four buckets of water in total before I felt it was almost ready for a bath.

Relax your body and stretch out in the water.

The temperature at night was getting lower and lower. I wonder where they will go after arriving in Xingzhou.

Thoughts are scattered randomly.

After running for a while, I got up and scrubbed my body. Then I put on some clean clothes.

After thinking for a while, she found a new set of shredded clothes and pants, a bellyband, and a set of her old clothes for outerwear.

Prepared for Zhang Qingyan.

When Zhang Qingyan was sold, she had nothing but the clothes she was wearing.

Ask her to take a shower and change her clothes later.

She opened the door and went out, dumping the bath water. Then she went to check on the car while her sons and daughters-in-law went to practice swordplay.

She told Zhao Yuanzhen to take a shower.

Tell her that the clothes prepared for her were placed on the kang.

Zhang Qingyan also felt that she was too dirty. She had not taken a good shower since she fled. Later, she was robbed and had no food to eat. She had to run around every day to make ends meet. How could she have the conditions to take a shower?

Then he fetched some water and went into the house to take a shower.

Zhao Yuanzhen was learning Chinese medicine right next to the carriage.

For some reason, Zhang Qingyan had poured out the bath water after taking a shower, and also washed the clothes that Zhao Yuanzhen had taken off.

Zhao Yuanzhen saw it and said nothing.

It would be good to let her do some work so that Zhang Qingyan can feel at ease. I am not the kind of person who will never forget to repay a favor.

The reason I agreed to let her stay was to train someone who can do the work.

Zhao Yuanzhen continued to study medicine. She should be able to finish it in two days.

After returning from sword practice, the descendants also prepared to take a bath.

Several people took turns to take a bath. Two large pots were boiling water.

After washing everything, Qian Xiaohui and Li Zhijuan took their changed clothes to wash. Zhang Qingyan was making the kang.

Zhang Xinbai and Zhang Xinnian slept in the carriage, which made it convenient for them to keep watch at night.

Take out a piece of cloth and divide the kang in one quarter.

The smaller part was given to Zhang Xinshuo and Zhang Zijin to sleep in.

The larger part was for several women to sleep in.

By the time I finished cleaning up and got on the kang, it was already past 11 o'clock.

None of them chatted much and just went to sleep.

It was the first time I slept on a heated kang since I fled. I took a shower and felt clean and refreshed.

I lay on the warm kang and fell asleep quickly.

The next day, when Zhao Yuanzhen woke up, everyone in the room had already gotten up.

There is no way. Although this body is designed to wake up early, her soul cannot wake up.

It is not common for modern people to get up before 6 every day.

Zhao Yuanzhen got up and washed.

Thinking about what to eat for breakfast?

When I walked out, I found that breakfast was ready. It was donkey meat huoshao.

Huoshao is a bit like the current Roujiamo, but it is a little smaller than Roujiamo.

Although Hejian's donkey meat stew is the most famous, Yaoshan County also has it.

"Mom, you're up! This is what grandma just brought over. She said grandpa bought it specially for her. She also brought eight bowls of wontons." Qian Xiaohui saw that she was up and started to set the table.

Zhao Yuanzhen thought her son had bought it. She probably wanted Zhang Sandao to thank her for saving Qingyan, or to improve Qingyan's diet.

She looked at the old house and ate some steamed buns and wontons. Wu Erping looked quite happy.

Zhao Yuanzhen was a little surprised. She thought that her sister-in-law would be unhappy when she saw the old man bringing them food.

Little did they know that since Zhao Yuanzhen showed his amazing martial arts skills and kept sending things to the old house, he had already captured Wu Erping.

Wu Erping now feels that Zhao Yuanzhen is her family's little god of wealth, so she must not be offended, at least not openly. Otherwise, her little grandson will not be able to satisfy his cravings from time to time.

He invited everyone to eat, each person had a bowl of wontons with pickles in the middle, and a pot of steamed buns.

As the saying goes, there is dragon meat in the sky and donkey meat on the ground.

This fire is really good.

The meat is tender and fresh, and donkey meat is more tender than other meat.

Everyone gave it unanimous praise and thought that the fire was really good.

After Zhao Yuanzhen finished eating, she saw everyone cleaning up, said hello, and quickly went to get a small backpack, preparing to buy some food to put away.

The fire-baked bread of this era tasted better than any she had eaten before.

The meat is pure, without adulteration, technology or hard work.

She walked quickly, heading toward the main street.

I bought a lot of breakfast. I found a nice and clean fire-baked shop.

I ordered 100.

The shop was run by a middle-aged couple. They were very happy to hear that she wanted so much. They immediately poured her a bowl of tea and asked her to drink it first while they went to prepare it.

Fortunately, there were plenty of pancakes, so all we had to do was cut the pancakes and stuff the donkey meat in them.

However, due to the large quantity and the need for packaging, it took about half an hour.

They were carefully wrapped in oil paper and neatly placed in Zhao Yuanzhen's backpack.

One fire cost 16 wen, a total of 1600 wen.

Zhao Yuanzhen thought about the 40 that Zhang Sandao had sent over in the morning. Adding the ones they ate themselves, there would be 100 in total, which was more than 1600 coins!

Add wontons. Her family's 8 bowls plus their old house's more than 10 bowls. 8 wen per bowl. That's about 160 wen.

The total cost is about 1800 wen, which is close to 2 taels of silver.

Zhang Sandao said this was a huge investment!

In normal times, this fire-baked bread can buy a pound of grain. Add some wild vegetables and it is enough for a family to have a meal.

For today's breakfast, I ate more than 100 kilograms of food!

I guess I had a great time playing yesterday, so I’m in a good mood today.

Zhao Yuanzhen took the backpack and went back.

By the time she arrived, everyone had basically packed up and were ready to set off.

Zhao Yuanzhen put 50 of the roasted ones in the backpack and handed them to Qian Xiaohui. The rest were used to tighten the space.

Qian Xiaohui got up early in the morning and had already cooked the tea eggs. They were now soaking in a basin.

Place all of these carefully on the grain cart.

After another check, nothing was left behind. The village chief struck the gong and set off.

Several people got on the carriage.

Zhao Yuanzhen took out the Analects of Confucius and continued to teach Zhang Zijin.

“Today we are studying the second chapter of the Analects, On Government.

Confucius said: Governing a country with virtue is like the North Star, which stays in its place and all the other stars revolve around it. This sentence means that Confucius said that governing a country with virtue is like the North Star, which stays in its place and all the other stars revolve around it.

But it is not always applicable. In prosperous times, we can govern with virtue, but in troubled times, we need to use harsh punishments. Just like now, natural disasters have occurred year after year, the people have been displaced, and the Jin people have broken through the border, burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of evil.

Then, promoting virtue is unreliable, and the country needs to have strong military force to suppress it in order to ensure national security and the safety of the people. "

The Daliang Dynasty always valued civil officials over military officials, which resulted in poor treatment for military officers and soldiers. Many civil officials were self-righteous and suppressed military officers in the court, withholding food and military supplies. Otherwise, it would not have been so easy for the Jin army to break through.

Zhang Zijin didn't understand what he heard.

Zhang Xinshu's ideas were somewhat different, as they were different from the traditional governance strategies of the Daliang Dynasty.

"Mother, the Master once said that if you use virtue to convince people, they will be convinced with their true heart, but if you use force to convince people, they will be convinced in appearance but not in their heart."

The Master always warned them that when they were away from home, they should pay attention to their own moral conduct, and win others over with virtue in everything, and they must not be impatient and reckless or hit others.

This was a loss of the integrity of a scholar and was despised by scholars and students throughout the Daliang Dynasty.

He used to think that there was nothing wrong with what the Master said. One should cultivate oneself and improve one's moral character so that one can stand between heaven and earth and become a gentleman.
