Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around

On this day, Chai Zhen Guoguo and his seventeen bodyguards took a horse-drawn carriage to check on the crops in the fields. They arrived at the outskirts of Beijing and first checked on the land, and then went to the hills.

When the farmers saw the master approaching, someone ran to inform the owner. Wang Youzhi hurried over, knelt, and called out, "Hello, master." Chai Zhen said, "I don't believe in kneeling. Stand up and talk." Wang Youzhi stood up and said, "Master, are you going to check the fields or the account books?" Chai Zhen said, "To see how the crops are doing?" Wang Youzhi said, "Okay, I'll lead the way." He walked ahead. Chai Zhen picked up Guoguo, and the maids and bodyguards followed behind.

At a glance, the crops in the fields were growing well! Chai Zhen noted, "Not bad." He then asked, "What crops did you plant?" Wang Youzhi replied, "We planted quite a bit of corn, wheat, sorghum, soybeans, cowpeas, millet, and vegetables that the master gave us. What we couldn't eat was taken to the shop. Second in command has recorded it all in the account." Chai Zhen listened, and so did Little Milk Bag. Little Milk Bag asked, "Did my Second Uncle weigh the vegetables you sent us? Did he pay you?" Wang Youzhi replied, "He weighed them, paid you, and I'll record it in the account!" Little Milk Bag: "Okay, I'll check the account book later." Wang Youzhi glanced at the child and wondered if such a young child could read. He thought about it and said nothing, continuing to walk forward. Chai Zhen looked at the crops in the fields. It seemed the earthquake hadn't had a significant impact here! Little Milk Bag was held by Chai Zhen, and his spiritual sense spoke to Little Shunzi, "Little Shunzi, scan the area within a hundred miles, about a thousand acres, how are the crops growing?" "Okay, master!" Little Shunzi's laser eyes flashed for a few seconds, and then he said, "Master, the crops are growing well!" "Take a look at the houses of the residents around here, are they okay?" "Okay, master!" After a few seconds, Little Shunzi said, "Master, your house is very shabby, it looks like you won't be able to survive this winter." Little Milk Bag: "Did you see anyone?" Little Shunzi said after a few seconds, "Most of them are working in the fields, only the children are playing. There are also old people lying in the house." "Okay, I understand."

The little baby asked Chai Zhen to hold him and put him down, saying, "Uncle Li Biaotou, you hold Guoguo." Li Biaotou had been wanting to hold this child for a long time, and he was delighted when he heard this. He squatted down, picked up the baby with both hands, and held him in his arms, saying, "Guoguo, where do you want to go?" The little baby said, "To where the people live!" He then said to Chai Zhen, "Grandpa, you go check out the land. Guoguo, check out the houses where the people live." Chai Zhen said, "Okay." The two of them each took a few people to check out the houses. The little baby came to the farmers' homes. "Oh, the houses are no longer habitable. We need to rebuild them quickly!" Li Biaotou said, "Indeed, they were also affected by the earthquake." The few people went door to door, asking, "Is anyone there?" "Ahem, ahem, who is it?" The little baby said, "I'm Guoguo. I want to visit your house. Grandpa, is that okay?" After a while, they heard a voice and someone came out to open the door.

An old man with a white beard opened the door and asked, "Who are you?" Little Milk Bag: "Grandpa, is this your home?" The old man looked at the child, and seeing that no one else spoke, he said, "This is my home." Little Milk Bag: "Can I go in and take a look?" Little Milk Bag saw that the old man was nervous and said, "Uncle Li, the two of us will go in, and the others will wait outside." The old man opened the door and said, "Come in!" Little Milk Bag said, "I am the owner of this land. Come and see how the crops are growing?" The old man heard the plop.

He knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said: "Master, please forgive me for not knowing that you were coming and not coming to greet you." Little Milk Bag: "Grandpa, please stand up and talk." "Okay, okay." The old man stood up, "Ahem, cough, cough, master, come into the house and sit down. I'll go get some water." Little Milk Bag: "Grandpa, aren't you thirsty?" Little Milk Bag said to Li Biaotou, "Uncle Li, go to the kitchen and boil some water for Grandpa to drink." Li Biaotou: "Okay." "Grandpa, please sit down." The old man: "Sit in the yard." Little Milk Bag stretched out his hand to hold the old man's wrist and felt his pulse. The old man looked at this child. He thought to himself that such a child could even take a pulse! After a while, Little Milk Bag: "Grandpa, you caught a cold, and your qi is rising. You are also a little weak. You need to replenish, but not too much. Stop the cough first, and then replenish the qi slowly. Little Milk Bag rummaged around in his body, took out a bottle of licorice tablets, handed it to the old man, and said, "Grandpa, drink this medicine, three times a day, two tablets each time." Drink it for two or three days and you will be fine. Wait until you stop coughing, then take the tonic." "Uncle Li Biaotou, is the water ready?" "I'll go right away." Li Biaotou brought the bowl of water and placed it on the stone table. Little Milk Bag: "Grandpa, wait until the water is cool and no longer feverish before taking the medicine." The old man: "Yes, okay, thank you, master. Thank you, master." As he was about to kneel down again, the little milk bag quickly supported him and waved his hand, "No, no need to kneel, grandpa." "Okay, okay. Master is a good person." Little Milk Bag: "Grandpa, sit down. How many people are there in your family? "The little old man said:' My name is Zhang San. There are five of us in the family: a son, a wife, and a five-year-old grandson. He goes to the fields with his parents and grandmother." Little Milk Bag: "Little brother, didn't you go to school?" The little old man said: "We don't have schools here." Little Milk Bag: "Well, can the family have enough to eat?" The little old man said: "Yes, master. Although there is not much surplus food, we can still have enough to eat." Little Milk Bag: "Grandpa, Guoguo, can you go see your grain tank, which is the warehouse where the grain is stored?" The little old man heard, "Yes. Come on, I'll take you there." A small house with farm tools and food. The little milk bag felt around and saw only a few small bags. It's too early for the autumn harvest? Not enough to eat. So the little milk bag said, "Grandpa, are all the food here?" "Yes, master." "Not enough to eat. It's still too early for the autumn harvest. Is your family the only one with less food?" The little old man said: "Every household has about the same amount. This is not a small amount. There are also vegetables, enough to eat. This year is better than last year." The little milk bag said nothing more. Before leaving, the little milk bag asked again, "Is Wang Youzhi treating everyone well?" The old man said, "Not bad." The little milk bag said, "Everyone should go home. Remember to take your medicine. Guoguo will ask the doctor to see everyone. Grandpa will tell everyone to go see the doctor then." The old man nodded and said, "Okay, the second son will tell the other families about this good news."

Little Milk Bag walked a short distance away and said to Li Biaotou, "Uncle Li, go quietly to see if the food is ready and visit more houses." Li Biaotou said, "Okay, I'll go right away." He then told a few brothers to keep an eye on Guoguo. "We know, boss."

An hour later, the escort leader found Guoguo and said, "Every household has very little food." Little Milk Bag said, "Let's go to the fields and ask around. Find out what the owner of this manor is like." The bodyguards then went their separate ways. ...

Li Biaotou picked up Guoguo and returned to the camp. There were houses here. Little Naibao walked around and the owner's wife made tea for them in the living room of the main house. Usually, no one lived in the main house, but the owner lived in the side houses on both sides. There was a cow and a few chickens in the backyard. Little Naibao and Li Biaotou walked around the farm. The house was not small, and they were going to stay there today, so they asked the owner's wife to find someone to clean all the houses. The wages were 20 coins a day. The owner's wife happily went to find people. Soon, more than ten women came and started working. They opened every room, some cleaned the windows, some wiped the tables, and some swept the floor. They went from room to room very quickly. After a while, the owner's wife said, "The master just doesn't have a quilt for the kang, only a straw fan." Little Naibao: "Don't worry about that. You go and cook. Uncle Biaotou, take out the things we brought with us." "Okay."

Li Biaotou put the big basket at the kitchen door and said, "Sister-in-law, there is meat here, cook it." "Okay. I'll cook right away." Li Biaotou: "We have twenty adults and a child. Let's make some egg custard for the child." "Okay, master, don't worry." After Li Biaotou left, the owner's wife looked at the big basket, which also contained a bag of flour, rice, millet, soybeans, oil, vegetables and meat. "Most of a fan of meat, haha, it's really a lot." I'll make more meat dishes, maybe the master will let us eat some meat too.

She called three people to help with the cooking. Some were busy chopping meat, some were washing vegetables, and some were making porridge and kneading dough.

The whole yard was swept clean. The house was tidied up. The women came to help in the kitchen.

Little Milk Bag sat under a tree in the yard, drinking tea. His spiritual consciousness was examining the contents of the house. The owner's warehouse was overflowing, with grain filling the entire room. In the corner was a large bag containing copper coins, and a small amount of silver, all in a smaller bag.

In the manor house, Little Milk Bag asked Little Shunzi to scan, "Master, there is silver hidden in the wall, more than ten thousand taels." Little Milk Bag: "Okay, I got it."

The owner of this farmhouse has a large house, covering four or five acres of land, with a small vegetable patch in the backyard. Everything is very clean. It seems the owner is diligent. I wonder if the owner of the bank inside the wall knows about this? ...

Xiao Shunzi: "Master, Xiao Shunzi also found out there are basements and cellars." Little Milk Bag: "Uncle Li, come here." Li Biaotou: "Guoguo?"

Little Milk Bag: "Come on, follow me." The two of them arrived at a rockery in the backyard. "Master, it's right here. There's a flower blooming behind the hill, and underneath it is the opening for the mechanism. Look for it." Guoguo went to see a flower in bloom and said, "Uncle Li, pull up this blooming flower." Li Biaotou was stunned, but he did it anyway. Once the flower was pulled apart, a wooden board was exposed. Little Milk Bag stretched his head to look, saw the board, and said, "Uncle Li, pick it up." "Hey, Guoguo, look!" "Master, press it with your hands." Little Milk Bag nodded with his little hand. "Creaky, creaky, creaky!" In a few minutes, a large hole was opened. Little Milk Bag took out the night pearl, and Li Biaotou picked up Guoguo. "Let's go in and take a look." "Haha, we're rich! Boxes of silver," Little Milk Bag shouted happily. Li Biaotou's eyes widened. "Whose is this money?" Little Milkbag: "I don't know. This land was awarded by the emperor." Li Biaotou: "I don't know whose family it was before?" Little Milkbag: "That's easy to say. We'll find out by asking the owner of the manor later." "That's right." "This basement is so big!" Guoguo went downstairs. Li Biaotou took a look and said, "Guoguo, why don't you let your uncle come and take a look." Little Milkbag: "No need. We'll talk about it later." Little Milkbag walked quickly. Li Biaotou opened the boxes one by one. "Oh, it's blinding! It's sparkling. Guoguo, come and see, what is this?" A small box was inside a large box. Li Biaotou opened it and looked. "What is this?" Little Milkbag came over. "Ah, cat's eye. Honey, honey! Uncle Li, open all these boxes." Li Biaotou: "Okay." After they finished looking, they looked at each other. "There are as much as one million taels of silver!" "No, tens of millions of taels of silver." The two said. Little Milkbag: "It's useless to have so much money." Li Biaotou: "Uncle Guoguo, I'll listen to you. You arrange it." Little Milkbag looked at Li Biaotou and said, "Uncle, aren't you jealous? But Guoguo wants it." Li Biaotou: "If Guoguo wants it, keep it." Little Milkbag shook his head. "Let's take out a box and divide it among us. The rest will go to Uncle Huang." Li Biaotou was happy to hear that he could divide the money himself. He felt that his trip was worthwhile. "Okay." Li Biaotou bent down and started to lift it, but it didn't budge. "Haha, haha, Uncle, this box is heavy. Go find someone to lift it." "Okay." Li Biaotou said and left. Little Milkbag looked around. She was left alone. She put the cat's eye away and put it in her storage. She packed the gold into three boxes and the silver into one box. She put them all in her storage. Haha ... There were peacock hairpins, pearls, agates, and even pink pearls, a complete headdress, bracelets, and more. Little Milk Bag took one and put it on, then decisively took the rest. The two large boxes of jewelry went to Guoguo. Having done a great job, Guoguo left the basement and asked Xiao Shunzi where the cellar was. It was under the main house, on the kang inside. Little Milk Bag stayed and waited for Li Biaotou. She sat by the rockery, swinging her short legs, and drank from a bag of milk. ...

Chai Zhen returned, accompanied by Li Biaotou and several of his brothers. Chai Zhen and Li Biaotou went in. Chai Zhen was also shocked by what he saw. He couldn't take everything, so he carried out a box and sealed the mechanism. They carried the box to the living room and placed it in a corner. Little Milk Bag said, "Grandpa, we all shared this box. We can't find it for nothing." The two maids also gave it. Chai Zhen and Li Biaotou counted the silver. There was a thousand taels. Fifty taels each, Chai Zhen divided it among them. "I hope you won't tell anyone." "I know, Second Uncle." "I know, Second Uncle." The maids took it. Little Milk Bag said, "Take it and buy whatever you want. We have it all." Qiu Ju and Dong Shuang each received fifty taels. It was a lot! Everyone smiled. They put the money away. The purse tied around Li's waist was bulging, and he felt annoyed. He took it off and handed it to Guoguo, saying, "Guoguo, keep it. I'll stand out too much." Guoguo smiled and said, "You can exchange it for silver bills at the bank." Li: "Okay." He tied the purse around his waist again.

After a while, the wife of the owner of the manor brought up the meal. Everyone ate meat, vegetables, steamed buns, and millet porridge. Everyone was full. Little Milk Bun: "Sister-in-law of the owner of the manor, you can eat the rest of the food while you're working. Don't keep it for yourself. Share it all." The wife of the owner of the manor said, "Okay, thank you for the reward, master." She happily went out to let the women eat. After the meal, she helped clean the pots and dishes and put away the dishes. Little Milk Bun saw them in the yard and said, "Everyone come to collect your wages." One tael of silver per person. Little Milk Bun gave everyone a little, including the wife of the owner of the manor. Little Milk Bun: "Come back to make breakfast tomorrow. I'll get paid." "Okay, I'll come tomorrow." "I'll come too." "I'll come too, master." Little Milk Bun: "All of you come."
