I really don't want to be a rebel [infrastructure]

Wei Siwen nodded, his eyebrows stretched and he said, "I don't think it has anything to do with you."

Thinking about it, the two children were both injured, and Luo Shixing was busy catching fish every day, and the things he got back meant that he had no time to deal with them.

It's even more impossible for Cheng Jingwei, the child's legs are not healed yet.

Luo Shixing nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, it has nothing to do with us. We don't have that ability. What's more, if that person sees us, he will definitely not let us go. You must have heard the news a long time ago."

Wei Siwen's thinking had been misled by Luo Shixing. As soon as Luo Shixing came up, he instilled in him the thinking that the two of them couldn't beat each other, and then began to lead Wei Siwen to think that that person had admitted the wrong person.

Once the thinking followed Luo Shi, then naturally the more he thought about it, the more it became true.

Wei Siwen had obviously been fooled into forgetting why Cheng Jingwei and Luo Shixing hid in the mountains, it wasn't because Cheng Jingwei was being bullied!

It was because Luo Shixing knocked him out with a stone!

Wei Siwen nodded again and again and said, "Exactly. It's best if it doesn't have anything to do with you. It's also good. You can also go to the county for a walk in the future."

Luo Shixing subconsciously wanted to say what to do if he was seen, but then he remembered that the person who would threaten the two of them had actually disappeared.

The feeling in his heart was a bit strange. Although he had barely experienced the whole thing, for some reason, there was always a sense of unreality.

It felt like he knew that this person was gone, but if he didn't mention it in front of him, he would subconsciously ignore it.

It's like when later generations saw the news of someone's death on Weibo, they knew it, but they didn't worry about it, and they would be surprised the next time someone mentioned it.

Luo Shixing put aside this feeling, turned to look at Cheng Jingwei and said, "That's right, we can actually go to the county for a walk afterwards."

It is not a good thing to live in isolation. They can avoid frequent contact with those people, but they cannot avoid contact.

However, Cheng Jingwei had a cold expression on his face: "Differences of Taoism do not conspire with each other, there is nothing to contact."

Luo Shixing's heart sank, feeling that Cheng Jingwei's attitude towards the locals became more and more extreme.

He may not like the people here, but he can't deny that there are good people and bad people everywhere. Didn't the county magistrate help them a lot?People can completely protect their own people.

However, he did not refute Cheng Jingwei on the spot, but secretly made a note that he must pay more attention to Cheng Jingwei's mental state in the future, at least let him know that this world is still full of love.

So he smiled and said: "If you're bored, you can go and watch it, and we don't know much about the situation here, so it's not bad to learn from the locals. By the way, is there anything else Wei Weng wants to tell you? "

Luo Shixing didn't want to get entangled in this issue, he was afraid that Wei Siwen would notice something unusual.

He took Wei Siwen's thoughts into the ditch, so he didn't find anything. He slapped his head when he heard him say that: "By the way, where's the wild boar's head? Have you eaten it yet?"

Luo Shixing was slightly taken aback: "No."

As he spoke, he took Wei Siwen to see the pig's head.

Last time he said that he would take out all the bones of the pig's head, but it was too tiring to deal with a pig in one day, so except for the brains, the rest were marinated with pepper and put By the way.

Wei Siwen then said: "The county magistrate said that this pig's head can be exchanged for three Mo knives."

Luo Shixing was a little surprised: "Mo Dao? They still have Mo Dao?"

He thought it would be nice to exchange a few daggers, but if there were Mo knives, wouldn't the county magistrate keep them?

Wei Siwen said in a low voice: "It's not the real Mo Dao, it's the broken knives they picked up from the battlefield before, most of them are broken, but they are the Tang Dynasty's elite standard weapons, even if they are broken, they are better than their bronze wares, so I It's up to the master to replace that for you."

Luo Shixing immediately hugged Wei Siwen's arm and said sweetly, "Weng Wei, you are so kind to us!"

The weapons of the elite troops of the Tang Dynasty are of course much better than the bronzes forged locally.

Wei Siwen took the opportunity to pat Mao Mao's head again, with a satisfied expression on his face.

Luo Shixing asked again: "But won't they be unhappy with the pig's head? We still have pork here, which can be exchanged."

Weapons are more important than appetite. He and Cheng Jingwei have eggs, so they don't lack protein for the time being. Even if they lack protein, they can grow soybeans.

Huh?

soybeans!

Luo Shixing suddenly realized that he was missing one thing, so he hurriedly asked, "Weng Wei, we still want to exchange some soybeans and seeds."

After hearing this, Wei Siwen hesitated and said: "It's fine to change to soybeans, but the seeds... Let's discuss what kind of seeds you want, at most it will be different."

Luo Shixing was surprised: "Why? Only different? Is it restricted by the county magistrate?"

Wei Siwen was probably tired from standing, so he pulled a bamboo chair and sat down and explained, "Don't take farming too simply. If farming is easy, why don't the locals grow it?"

Luo Shixing thought, isn't it because they are lazy?

But think about it, if it is a national heritage, then since this place became the place of exile of the Tang Dynasty, how could the exile of so many officials have no impact on this place?

He remembered that later generations commented that these exiled officials had greatly promoted the construction of Lingnan.

In this case, there is no way to persuade the locals to farm, and there must be other reasons.

Cheng Jingwei, who had been silent all this time, said, "The tax here is heavy?"

Wei Siwen nodded and said: "Indeed, the taxes here are the same as those in the Central Plains, but in fact, each county will add some other taxes on its own, so that the little grain obtained from farming is not enough to pay taxes, and even find ways to raise other taxes. things to pay taxes on.”

Cheng Jing nodded slightly, he didn't care about this before, of course he didn't plan to pay taxes to Beidai County, and now Wei Siwen only remembered it when he said it.

Luo Shixing half understood and said: "So if you don't farm the land, you don't have to pay taxes, and it will be better? Didn't the county magistrates find such a thing? Why didn't they reduce the tax?"

This time Wei Siwen didn't need to say, Cheng Jingwei explained: "The south is used as a place of exile, and many officials are exiled to do hard labor. One of them is farming. All of these people's crops are handed over as taxes, so it doesn't matter whether other people farm or not. These exiled people have no other skills and can only continue to farm after a year of hard labor, so in fact it is these people who are oppressed by heavy taxes."

Luo Shixing was taken aback when he heard that, never expecting such a thing to happen.

After Cheng Jingwei finished explaining, he looked at Wei Siwen and asked, "Is Wei Weng worried that the county magistrate will make us pay taxes?"

Wei Siwen shook his head: "The county magistrate didn't know that you wanted the seeds, so naturally he wouldn't let you pay taxes. I told him that I wanted to grow something, but I have limited ability alone, so I can't grow so many, so I also You can’t ask for so many seeds.”

Luo Shixing scratched his head and said, "That's it, then forget it, we can pick some seeds from the exchanged grain to plant, if you lie to the county magistrate, then you have to plant the land, otherwise the county magistrate will be afraid It would be suspicious, and it would not be a good thing if he knew about it."

The purpose of separating food from seeds is to get better food seeds. After all, food tastes the same, but as seeds, there are always better ones and not so good ones.

Cheng Jingwei didn't stop Luo Shixing, anyway, they wouldn't stay here for long, after a year or two, when the Yangzhou rebellion subsided, he and Luo Shixing's appearance would definitely change, and they could try their luck at the Annan Governor's Mansion.

As for joining the army, forget it. He was forced to do so in his last life. What else could a lame man do?

But now it's different, his legs are getting better and he's trying to get himself used to living with healthy legs.

Wei Siwen didn't know much about farming, at most it was what was mentioned in the book, and he didn't think there was any problem after hearing it, so he simply said, "That's fine."

Luo Shixing abducted the topic that had already been abducted to the horizon: "By the way, speaking of it, isn't it too perfunctory to exchange a pig's head?"

Wei Siwen smiled: "You don't have to worry, the county magistrate will not eat a pig's head if he wants it."

Luo Shixing tilted his head: "Huh? What are you going to do if you don't eat?"

Cheng Jingwei suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

Wei Siwen laughed and said: "A few days ago, the county magistrate worshiped the cat fairy and wished his grandson's illness to recover soon. As a result, his grandson's illness really improved yesterday. Today, he can get up and eat. His spirit is much better. The county magistrate is happy to give it to him." The cat is offering tribute to the gods."

Luo Shixing: ...

He turned his head and glanced at Cheng Jingwei expressionlessly, Cheng Jingwei lowered his head and pretended to be dead.

To be honest, this development really caught him off guard.

Luo Shixing partnered with Cheng Jingwei to put the pig's head in the bamboo basket, and at the same time made a request to Wei Siwen: "By the way, Wei Weng, if possible, we would also like to exchange some beef tendon."

Wei Siwen was still wondering what he wanted the beef tendon for, it was very expensive, and it tasted so bad.

However, Cheng Jingwei had a thought, and turned to look at Luo Shixing: "Bowstring?"

Luo Shixing nodded and said, "Yes, if it doesn't work, I'll get you a bamboo bow and practice first."

I don't know when those weapons will reach their hands. Even if they can reach them, forging will take a while. The focus of his and Luo Shixing's work recently is the cellar, and that has to be pushed back, but the bow is not that difficult .

Bamboo may not be as good for the body of a bow as a suitable wood, but it is not unusable.

Cheng Jingwei said calmly, "I don't need to practice bow and arrow."

Wei Siwen couldn't help but look sideways after listening: "The tone is quite loud."

Cheng Jingwei is very calm, he is not bragging, when it comes to bow and arrow skills, he thinks he can't lose to anyone.

After all, he had a lame leg back then, and he was basically not good at practicing other kung fu. Only bow and arrow didn't require so much. He wanted to have the power to protect himself, so this was the most suitable.

So back then he practiced hard.

Luo Shixing immediately said, "Then the beef tendon first."

Wei Siwen originally wanted to remind them that bows and arrows are also controlled weapons, and if they are discovered, they will be convicted of a crime.

But think about it, there is no one in the deep mountains and old forests, not to mention that according to the regulations of the Tang Dynasty, bows and arrows that can be considered as weapons are not easy to come by.

He estimated that the two children would use bamboo to make bows at most, and maybe use stones for arrows, so there would be no problem.

So Shi Shi simply agreed and said: "This is no problem, fortunately this is not the Central Plains, otherwise it would be really hard to get beef tendon."

There is a ban on slaughtering cattle in the Central Plains. Unless the cattle are sick and cannot survive, they cannot be slaughtered easily. Otherwise, if you kill the cattle, the court will kill you.

Of course it’s not that severe, but the punishment is still very heavy. Most people can’t live without severe punishment, so it’s no different from execution.

Luo Shixing knew about this, and said with a smile, "If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have asked Wei Weng to make beef tendon for us."

After speaking, he put the pig's head in the bamboo basket and handed it to Wei Siwen, saying: "Then Wei Weng is careful all the way!"

Wei Siwen waved his hands at them, and walked all the way back, not to mention, since Cheng Jingwei and Luo Shixing lived here, Wei Siwen's physique has really improved a lot, from the beginning when he was so tired walking back and forth, now he is carrying a pig's head Walking like flying, it's tears when I say it.

After Wei Siwen left, Cheng Jingwei immediately changed the subject: "Lynx, we haven't finished digging the cellar yet, continue today?"

Luo Shixing didn't intend to pursue it any further. He had already had a fight with Cheng Jingwei because of this matter before, so what if he apologized?

What's more, the development of the following things really has nothing to do with Cheng Jingwei.

So he moved his body and said, "Let's go, it's time for the rabbit to move."

Now they have four rabbits in their hands, and the remaining three should be male rabbits. At first, Luo Shixing wanted the three rabbits to start working together.

However, after he placed the rabbits at the previously set point, he found that he couldn't control the three rabbits at all.

Rabbits have their own ideas about the direction of digging holes, and Luo Shixing will ignore the other if he can control one. The three rabbits made him flustered.

Cheng Jingwei wanted to help, but the rabbit dug up a lot of soil before, and it was almost sun-dried. From today on, Cheng Jingwei needs to burn bricks.

One of them is in charge of digging the cellar and the other is in charge of burning bricks. The work distribution is quite good. Can't both of them stare at the rabbit digging the cellar?That would be too much of a waste of manpower.

Cheng Jingwei was holding a bamboo shovel beside him and was laughing uncontrollably while making mud. In the end, he didn't even do the work at all, and only cared about watching Luo Shixing fluttering forward and backward with a smile.

Luo Shixing never thought in his life that one day he would be exhausted and out of breath because of the three rabbits. The most terrifying thing was that he was brought by the three rabbits and fell directly to the ground, if it wasn't for the rope tied to his wrist In fact, these rabbits may not return to nature on the spot.

Cheng Jingwei went over to help Luo Shixing up, patted the dust on the tiger's head hat and said, "Let one come first, arrange one by one, or what if the three wait until they get tired? A rabbit It can be dug for about an hour, and you let them come in rotation."

Luo Shixing shook his head like a kitten, and threw away the dirt that hit his head. After hearing Cheng Jingwei's words, he felt more and more admiration: You even came out of the third shift, Cheng Jingwei, you are really talented as a capitalist!
