Good Life in Qin Dynasty

"Why do you bother yourself? I want to read a book, so I will take two more days off from farming, so that my classmates can go to the fields to pick up tassels!"

Li Jiyang suggested.

It was three days off during the busy farming season, so he thought he was going to prepare lessons!

Of course, this is also a test, what if it is really lesson preparation!

"I was just thinking about something, and I didn't pay attention to the time." Gan Lei quickly explained, including Gan Luo, who only has eleven children, how could he be so tired from teaching?

"Is there no one on duty at night?" Li Jiyang's eyebrows were about to stand up.

He arranged for manpower to take care of the father and son, is there anyone else who is lazy?

"I don't want someone to stay on duty at night, and I don't even need someone to wait in the house!" Looking at Li Jiyang's appearance, Gan Lei obviously misunderstood.

"That won't work, someone must be on duty in the future!" Li Jiyang said seriously: "If there is any movement, there is only Xiao Ganluo by his side, what can he do?"

"I can do it!" Xiao Ganluo was not convinced.

"What can you do?" Li Jiyang reached out and rubbed his head: "You are only five years old, not fifteen!"

It's not appropriate for such a small child to live with a patient, but he has prepared a room, and little Gan Luo won't live there!

I have to live with my father, and this matter can't be forced.

"Sleep on the west side today. You've been sleeping with me these days. You should get used to it after you've been here for so long." Gan Lei coughed twice, not letting Xiao Gan Luo speak: "That's the decision."

When he first arrived, his son said that he was not used to sleeping alone, so he and his father slept together, wasting the two bedrooms they had prepared.

As a result, after so long, they still haven't separated.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, quickly let his son stand on his own.

Little Gan Luo pouted, but the children had no room to complain about what the adults decided, so they accepted it aggrievedly.

"That little guy is making a fuss in the morning, go and see!" Li Jiyang asked Xiao Ganluo to see his nephew, "Oh!" Thinking of the little guy, Xiao Ganluo obediently ran out and washed his face , changed a set of clothes, and then went to the main courtyard to see the young master.

Li Jiyang sent Xiao Ganluo away, and sat where Xiao Ganluo used to sit: "Sir, what's wrong with you? How could you have a recurrence of your old illness for no reason? Am I not taking good care of you here?"

"No, I just stayed in the study for half the night yesterday, accidentally." Looking at Li Jiyang, he added: "It wasn't on purpose."

Li Jiyang couldn't laugh or cry: "You can still do it on purpose!"

"I just thought about something and didn't pay attention for a while." Gan Lei smiled, as for what he was thinking, only he knew.

From then on, Li Jiyang asked people to stay on watch at night, even if they were sleeping on the floor outside, they had to guard the door.

After the beginning of autumn, preparations for the autumn harvest began, and the Gao Zhan incident came again.

"I found the house in Xianyang City, but the asking price is high." When I came, I told Li Jiyang about the house.

"how much is it?"

"One thousand gold."

Li Jiyang rubbed his chin, the price is indeed a bit high!

"If you take the path, it's very close to the gate of the palace." Gao Zhan felt that this one is worth the money.

"Yes!" Li Jiyang went in without saying a word, and got a money box out, which was exactly one thousand gold.

"I knew you would agree!" Gao Zhan happily ordered gold. He didn't order gold before when he took money, but this time is different. This time it is a business, and the money must be counted face to face.

Li Jiyang took another hundred gold out: "This is for you."

Gao Zhanshi's face was not very good-looking: "What does this mean?"

"Don't be angry, I know you are working for the wife and son, but you have to make friends yourself, and that little salary is not enough for you. The money given to you is for you to spend, not to buy you " Li Jiyang pushed the money to him: "If you need anything, please tell me, no matter how difficult it is, brothers will help you!"

Gao Zhan's expression improved a lot, and he took the gold: "It's okay to give me some gold, something really happened, you must not get involved."

It's okay to get some money for something, but if something really happens, the first one to be removed is Li Jiyang, because he is just a young boy without any identity.

Anyone can do anything to him, because he cannot withstand any storm.

"I'm very capable!" Li Jiyang curled his lips: "My senior brother is coming in a few days. What do you want? Pearls? Gold? Rare treasures? Or precious medicinal materials?"

"Ask for gold, silver and jewels. Those ministers are much more cunning now, and Wang Xiang's family is also seeking out money everywhere, and I don't know where they got so much money!" succeed."

"Gold, silver and jewelry are not a problem. What do you want?" Li Jiyang patted him on the shoulder: "Anyway, there must be a pursuit."

"The pursuit is that the eldest son can become the lord of the country. Anyway, he can't be the son Chengjiao. If he succeeds, I will run away immediately!" Gao Zhan was willing to do it.

In the past year, he has done a lot of things. If Mr. Cheng Jiao succeeds to the throne, he will definitely not let him go.

Li Jiyang rolled his eyes: "Look at how promising you are!"

Gao Zhan doesn't care about his success, anyway, that's what he means.

After taking the things back and handing over the documents, the house became Li Jiyang's. He was afraid that Li Jiyang was too young and ignorant, so he bought twenty servants himself to clean and take care of the house.

He sent someone to talk to Li Jiyang again, and gave him the servant's deed, the key to the house, and the bamboo slips of the house's contract.

After Li Jiyang received it, he was very happy. From then on, he would not need to rent a yard at the inn when he went to Xianyang City.

The happy Li Jiyang gave Gao Zhanshi a gift of an ox cart. Two ginsengs were packed, and the rest were local specialties: geese raised at home, that is, big geese; ten hens, various Fifty eggs; and two bags of freshly laid grain!

This combination made Gao Zhanshi speechless for a while, he kept the ginseng, and finally waved his hand: "Take it to the kitchen!"

Autumn harvest is busy, because we have to compete with God for time. Although there are many fields in Lijiazhuang, with the simple harvester made by Li Jiyang, let alone how fast it is. It's all done.

Finally, it is also the most critical time of the year, to deliver taxes and food!

There are several children in the family this year, so they are still young, so they don't need to pay taxes and rations; but Gan Lei is considered a grown-up person, so he has to pay taxes and rations!

Steward Li Zhong reported to Li Jiyang: "Because there are more people, we have to bring one more person's tax and food, and the children born in our family, and our family also has a house and servants in Xianyang City, all of which must be reported. go up."

Even if it is a servant, it must be registered in the register to facilitate management.

And once the servant makes a mistake, the master will also be punished.

Of course, the master's punishment is less, and the punishment of the servant who made a mistake is very heavy, very heavy!

"Newborns, all are registered as civilians." Li Jiyang saw those things, and it turned out that all newborns were positioned as slaves, so of course he quit.

"They're all... civilians?" Steward Li Zhong was shocked.

"Well, otherwise, why would I teach them to read and write?" Li Jiyang spread out the bamboo slips in his hand, which recorded their family's harvest.

Because the family has opened up wasteland this year, coupled with Li Jiyang's little invention, the family's harvest has improved a lot, the cattle and sheep have also given birth to many cubs, chickens, ducks and geese, and their own pigs. All the little piggies were given to... Li Fu!

In the beginning, several of them were killed, but Li Jiyang didn't say anything, so Li Fu let go of his research. In the end, he was very good at pigs.

This year, the family had a lot of pigs, but more than half of them were slaughtered, and only a few were kept for breeding. Neither big boars nor old sows could be bred together.

"But young master, they are all..." Butler Li Zhong pointed out that it is customary for the servants' children to be able to read and write and use them to open a shop as a shopkeeper.

It's more reassuring to hold on to the contract of sale than to use the hired shopkeeper.

The deed of sale of the whole family is in the hands of the master, so that the master can cultivate it with peace of mind, because if the people who have spent a lot of effort to cultivate can't be used by the master, wouldn't it be a waste of effort?

It is not easy to cultivate a talent in this era, and they are basically of noble origin.

The common people can barely maintain food and clothing. At this time, the "common people" are all nobles and nobles, and common people rarely have surnames. "If I want to train them to be shopkeepers, I will not let them listen to Mr. Gan Lei's lectures with me. Li Jiyang said: "I can't trust the people outside. I only trust the people in our village. They will all do great things in the future. Being a slave will humiliate them."

Throughout the ages, what is the most important?

Talent!

Especially this era, the Warring States Period, is too far away for a person in the 21st century, even if he has a background in archaeology, and is still specialized in Qin and Han Dynasties.

But it can't change this fact.

Also because he was an archaeologist during the Qin and Han Dynasties, he knew that after Yingzheng ascended the throne, he was first controlled by Lu Buwei. Start the great cause of unification.

He was over 30 at that time!

How old is he after the reunification?

At that time, because he felt that he was old and dying, he started to go to extremes!

Asked by Qiuxian, he wanted to live forever not because he was afraid of death, but because he hadn't enjoyed enough to unify the world.

If you let him be like Lord Kangxi, you can try again as the emperor for 60 years!

Maybe he is also reluctant to part with the throne, but he won't be so unwilling.

"Yes, master!" Butler Li Zhong was moved after hearing this, because among the nine children was his youngest son.

"In the future, when these nine children become adults, sir, please give them a name. The surname is Li." Li Jiyang knew that he had an advantage, but he couldn't cover everything by himself.

In the future they will need talent, all kinds of talent.

It can't be the son of the aristocratic family, because the power of the aristocratic family is too great!

It cannot be scholar-officials, because they are also involved!

It can only be ordinary people who have no background or influence.

As Gan Lei said, recruiting a group of talents without foundation, one is easy to grasp, and the other is that this group of people is malleable.

People who have been taught by themselves are absolutely different from talents cultivated by others!

"No!" Butler Li Zhong didn't know what the young master was going to do, but he could tell that the young master had his own plans in mind and the eldest son also went out twice, and he became more and more calm.

"I'll take a look at this year's taxes and grains. By the way, I'll go to Xianyang City to see our house and stay there for two nights." Li Jiyang thought for a while and added a condition.

"No." The old butler immediately remembered this matter.

"In this way, the children at home will follow!" Li Jiyang thought of Qiuyou from traveling by himself.

The family is full of mountains and plains, as the children like, want to have fun, whatever, no one cares about them, but they must have never been to Xianyang City!

Broaden your horizons from an early age!

Going to Xianyang City for an autumn outing, and shopping for a spring outing!

You should also take them with you when buying or selling. You have seen gold, silver and jewelry since you were young. I believe that when they grow up, if others want to bribe them, they will definitely not look at the things they bring!

"No!" Steward Li Zhong wrote down the matter, and will arrange staff in a while.

Li Jiyang made up his mind, so he let the old housekeeper go down to make arrangements, while he went to find his husband: "Can you go to Xianyang City for a walk?"

"I won't go, I'll give you five days to spend a good time in Xianyang City, and little Gan Luo will go too." Gan Lei was relieved that even his only son, five-year-old Gan Luo, was handed over to Li Jiyang.
