I have a backstage in Datang

The man's wife also burst into tears, and suddenly stretched out her hand to grab the sister-in-law's hand, and said loudly: "We are all alive, none of us should die on the road, sister-in-law, we must live."

The difficulty of the people leaving their hometown is far deeper than Li Shimin and Empress Changsun imagined.

Fortunately, there is one person who thinks more clearly than the two.

Gu Tianya, who is thousands of miles away, has already planned for this great migration involving 30 households...

……

...The second update has arrived, 2 words today, thank you everyone.

Chapter 280 [Do you know the origin of that gentleman? 】

I Have a Backstage in Datang Text Volume Chapter 280 [Do you know the origin of that gentleman? 】A specially built carriage drove into Zhuangzi.

In the distance, someone shouted at Old Man Liu.

"Brother Liu, Brother Liu, don't move yet, don't rush to start..."

"The government has the latest arrangements for our migration..."

Accompanied by the sound of shouting, the man led the carriage and drove over, but when the driver reined in the reins, the huge carriage stopped steadily.

This cart is very big, with a length of one zhang and a width of at least half a zhang.

But this car doesn't seem to be a cargo vehicle. Instead, a huge wooden carriage is installed on the car. The outside of the carriage is wrapped with thick cowhide, so it is impossible for any cold wind to blow in.

The leader went straight to Old Man Liu's family, took a look at the dolls on the wheelbarrow, and then smiled at Old Man Liu.

"Brother Liu, you have all cleaned up. Very good, all the pots and pans are here."

This person was very familiar with the conversation, and walked directly to the wheelbarrow while talking...

He suddenly bent down, picked up a doll on the wheelbarrow, first pricked the little guy's tender cheeks with his beard, then let out a resonant laugh, and teased the child, "Little brat, do you want to take a big carriage?"

The little guy blinked and blinked at the carriage.

The old man Liu and the man next to him were a little cautious, the old and the young stood there with their hands down, looking cautious. At this moment, the driver who drove the car coughed dryly and urged: "I said, can you stop being so verbose? We still have to pick up this family Go to the next one, the task given by the yamen is very urgent, can you handle it quickly..."

The person who led the way laughed, nodded and said, "Okay, okay, it will be ready soon."

As he spoke, he took out a notebook from his pocket, and took out a piece of pitch-black charcoal from his pocket, but seeing him draw circles on the notebook with charcoal, he said while drawing: "Old man Liu's family, two babies, There are four children in Liu Dazhuang's family, so there are six children in total, all registered in Liujiazhuang, and the person in charge of registration is me, Liu Shiqi, a yamen servant in Lantian County..."

It turned out that his name was Liu Shiqi.

It is the origin of this Liujiazhuang.

After he finished chanting this sentence, he seemed to suddenly think of something important, so his face suddenly became serious, and he added solemnly, "This Liujiazhuang is the Liujiazhuang in Lantian County. A man dare not forget his hometown. The Liujiazhuang Zhuang, Liujiazhuang in Lantian County."

The coachman nodded, reached out to pick up a small notebook from the door of the carriage, and circled the same way: "I received six dolls, all registered in Liujiazhuang, Lantian County, and they were registered in the No. 90 No. [-] carriage. Eight vacancies."

After he finished drawing the circle, he carefully put the small notebook away, then looked at the person who led the way, and urged again: "Okay, the handover is over, you hurry up and carry all the dolls into the carriage, we still have eight vacancies that need to be filled." to pick up..."

"Okay, okay, that's good!" Liu Shiqi picked up another child and sent him to the car.

The old man Liu and the man watching this scene were puzzled.

The children's mother wanted to step forward with a face full of panic.

Liu Shiqi seemed to have expected it a long time ago, waved a hand free, laughed again, and explained cheerfully: "Da Zhuang is his wife, Shuanzi is his wife, you two don't have to worry, children I can’t lose it. This is an unprecedented good thing, it’s a benevolent policy given to us by the government..."

benevolent government?

The two women approached the car cautiously, watching their children being sent into the car.

Only then did I realize that there were seven or eight children in the huge carriage, and those little guys seemed to be very excited, lying on the door frame of the carriage and looking out.

Old man Liu finally plucked up his courage, and asked a little nervously: "Seventeen...Brother Seventeen, what are you talking about? Where did the carriage come from? What are you going to do with the dolls?"

The man Liu Dazhuang also came over, put on a smiling face and got close to the guide, and asked tentatively: "Uncle Seventeen, you are not working in the yamen today."

Liu Shiqi let out a 'huh', stretched out his hand and patted Liu Dazhuang's shoulder heavily, and scolded with a smile: "Your eyesight is not good, kid? Didn't you see that Uncle Shiqi is on an errand right now?"

"Are you on business now?"

Liu Dazhuang glanced at the carriage, swallowed his saliva and asked again: "Is picking up the child considered a job?"

"Calculate!"

The person who led the way looked serious, and said solemnly: "This is a major matter strictly ordered by the yamen."

While talking, he continued to carry the child into the carriage.

Since he was from the Liu family village and he was the only one working in the yamen in the village, he had a very high prestige in the village. Old man Liu's family did not dare to stop him from sending the child into the carriage.

Soon, six dolls were sent into the carriage.

It wasn't until this time that the yamen servant named Liu Shiqi took the time to explain with a smile: "Don't worry, the dolls won't lose it. Have you seen this carriage? This is a carriage specially made for dolls." ..."

The old man Liu's family gathered around the car and looked inside.

Looking helplessly at her doll, she is full of worry...

The driver who pulls the cart seems to have gotten used to it, so he suddenly stretched out his hand to lift the cowhide curtain of the carriage, pointed to the inside and said, "Take a good look, the dolls are enjoying themselves in it. The two hot stoves will never stop along the way." Huo, hey, just carbon money costs more than a dozen pennies!"

He paused for a while, and then said: "How much are your dolls worth? If you sell them all, they may not be worth a carbon price! But, the government issued a strict order, and the hot stove went up all the way. Do not turn off the fire. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk

These words were nonsensical, but there was one word that caught Old Man Liu and Liu Dazhuang's attention.

this way?

Could it be that it refers to the northern road where they are about to migrate...

Old man Liu and Liu Dazhuang looked at Liu Shiqi eagerly.

Sure enough, Liu Shiqi nodded, with a serious expression on his face, and said, "All the dolls have to ride in a carriage, and each carriage is equipped with two stoves. No matter what money you spend, you must ensure that the charcoal fire will not stop." , It’s a big deal, it’s really a big deal... In today’s world, who cares about a group of poor kids, only that gentleman can be so benevolent.”

Old man Liu and Liu Dazhuang couldn't understand at all.

Liu Shiqi knew that they didn't understand, so he explained more carefully. He pointed to the carriage and said in a deep voice, "Look clearly, this is a special carriage..."

As he spoke, he stepped forward to knock on the carriage, raised his foot and kicked the wheels, and continued: "Look, how thick cowhide is wrapped outside the carriage, and how hard the wood used for this pair of wheels is... look at these tenons Doesn’t it feel very new at the stubble of the socket? I think you have already seen that this car was built in a hurry.”

"For such a special carriage, the cost of wood and cowhide alone is [-] guan, plus the wages for urgent work, plus the carbon used for the stove that is not allowed to turn off along the way, all calculated, the cost of a car It will cost fifty or sixty guan..."

"Did the cost of this carriage frighten you into foolishness?"

"But let me tell you, there are twenty such carriages in our Lantian County alone, and they were all built with the money of the Liu family in the city. It is said that more than 1000 yuan was spent to complete the work urgently."

"More than 1000 pennies, what a frightening figure. If the money of this over 1000 pennies is saved, it will be enough for hundreds of men to marry wives and start families."

"However, the more than 1000 yuan is just to ensure that the children will not suffer on the road."

"Is the Liu family in the city very kind-hearted? No, they are not kind at all. If no one forced them, do you really think that the Liu family would be kind enough to spend the more than 1000 yuan?"

"They were just trying to please that gentleman."

When Liu Shiqi said this, he exhaled respectfully, as if muttering to himself: "That Mr. Gu really has nothing to say to us people."

Old man Liu and Liu Dazhuang still couldn't understand, so they could only ask cautiously: "A family as big as the Liu family in the city, will they also please others?"

Liu Shiqi suddenly laughed out loud.

The coachman who was driving also laughed.

After a long time, Liu Shiqi asked mysteriously, "Do you know the origin of that Mr. Gu?"

Old man Liu and Liu Dazhuang shook their heads like rattles.

Liu Shiqi took a deep breath, suddenly raised a hand and popped out a finger, and said in a familiar gesture: "First of all, he is the emperor's own brother-in-law..."

hiss!

Old man Liu and Liu Dazhuang gasped at the same time.

emperor?

brother-in-law?

These two sets of words are a bit scary to ordinary people, just like the gods in the sky, they are awe-inspiring.

But Liu Shiqi popped out a second finger, and continued to say like a few treasures: "Secondly, he married the most powerful princess in our Tang Dynasty. You have all heard of the name of Princess San Niangzi, right? Hundreds of thousands of troops took down the entire Guanzhong..."

Old Man Liu and Dazhuang Liu nodded in unison.

Although Zhaoning has been guarding Hebei since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, she was a figure in Zonghengguan at the end of the Sui Dynasty. The most important thing is that she has done nothing to the people, so she has a very high reputation in the Guanzhong generation.

Liu Shiqi's tone gradually became reverent, and he said full of admiration: "And that Mr. Gu, the princess he went to is the third lady of our Tang Dynasty, and he didn't marry into a son-in-law, but made the princess like the third lady. It’s like marrying a daughter-in-law and returning home, how about it? Isn’t it amazing?”

"Great!"

Old man Liu and Liu Dazhuang nodded together again like chickens eating rice.

In fact, they are not aware of the Ming calendar at all.

As the poorest people at the bottom, they don't have a deep understanding of the specific meaning of marrying a princess.

Liu Shiqi is only a yamen servant, he doesn't really understand it very well, but he occasionally hears officials chatting in the yamen, and whenever he mentions the matter of Gu Tianya marrying the princess back home, he will be full of admiration, even the officials have to respect, he I feel that I must be more revered as a little yamen servant.

He looked at Old Man Liu and Liu Dazhuang whose faces were inexplicably shocked, and suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction, so he popped out a third finger and continued to brag: "That Mr. Gu, he occupies a huge area. How much land is there? Eleven states. Do you know how big it is? It is said that it adds up to tens of thousands of acres..."

How many tens of thousands of acres?

Old man Liu and Liu Dazhuang were dumbfounded.

Their cognition as ordinary people is too weak, and they can't understand what the concept of tens of thousands of mu is.

What kind of existence is that Mr. Gu?

……

... The first update arrives, and there will be another update today.

reading room

Chapter 281 [From now on, we are the people of Youzhou]

I have a background in the Tang Dynasty Chapter 281 of the main text volume [From now on, we are the people of Youzhou] But Liu Shiqi took a deep breath and said sincerely: "The migration of the people to the north this time is That Mr. Gu's big money, and those wealthy families in our Datang almost glared at each other for participating in his property. In the end, after a fierce competition, our Liu family in Lantian County managed to grab a small amount of qualifications... ..."

"But with this little qualification, it is said that everyone in the Liu family was very excited. His family immediately opened their granary and prepared dozens of ox carts with food and clothing. Mobilize the people, and our Liujiazhuang is the property outside the city of the Liu family, so this time the people in the village have a good opportunity to change their destiny."

Old man Liu and Liu Dazhuang had a deep understanding of this matter.

In order to migrate the people to the north, the Liu family in the city promised to use the ox cart to pull the food on the road together. All the food and drink of the people on the road will be borne by the Liu family. What a blessing for the people who are caught in the bitter winter.

In the past years, which winter did not starve to death?

For the common people, the cruelty of winter is even worse than the starvation. People who starve to death without food or freeze to death, every village and every village, every year.

But this year, no more.

The more than 300 people in Liujiazhuang Village will no longer go hungry this year because of the migration route, because the food will be borne by the Liu family, and it will still be open for people to eat.

full!

This word has great appeal to the common people.

This is a kind of happiness that I am willing to sacrifice my life for...

……

Liu Shiqi seemed to be unsatisfied, and said excitedly: "Do you think it's enough if the wealthy family is willing to provide food? No, that Mr. Gu is not satisfied at all..."

"The carriage in front of me, which is used to protect the children from the wind and cold, is another request made by that gentleman!"

"However, it is said that the gentleman did not make a direct request. He just sent a letter to his disciples from the far north. It is said that the letter only contains a simple sentence... Don't freeze the child!"

"It's such a simple sentence. After his disciple told those aristocratic families, guess what? Those aristocratic families started to think about it."

"It is said that the head of the Cui family, the top wealthy family in Chang'an City, went directly to the Ministry of Industry, one of the six divisions of the imperial court. , the children will not be frozen in the cold winter..."

"So, this kind of carriage was really urgently developed."

"The outer ring of the wheel is all inlaid with cork, which is to prevent bumps and make children comfortable."

"The surroundings of the carriage are all wrapped in cowhide, which is airtight and will not freeze no matter how cold it is."

"Even so, the master craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry were still a little worried, so they installed two stoves in the carriage to keep the children warm all the time..."

"Have you seen that round tube? It is a tool for exhausting smoke from the stove in the carriage. It is said that it is to prevent children from being poisoned by carbon when they are asleep, so the master craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry racked their brains to develop it. thing."

"Such a carriage, what a painstaking effort. The patriarch of the Cui clan was very satisfied with it. To be precise, he felt that this kind of carriage would satisfy Mr. Gu, so all the wealthy families Start rushing to work on this carriage.”
