Xianyu Infrastructure, I have a lot of troops in my hands
Chapter 1 On the Road
In the Great Xia Dynasty, in Yanzhou-Jie Cang County, an ox cart drove along the dirt road in the countryside. The villagers looked up and saw a gold-bottomed Yu plaque on the frame swaying gently. In the middle was a cursive word "Xie" inlaid with a circle of dark patterns like broken gold. The fish-scale plaque was so dazzling in the sun that it hurt their eyes. The villagers restrained their expressions of respect, only bowed lightly and continued to do their own things.
"Hey! Which noble person is going on tour this time?" A dark-skinned man holding a wooden hoe asked in a low voice. He had just fled from the south and finally found a place to settle down here. The Xie family's land is vast, and they basically have a say in half of the county. The public land of this family can provide people with food during the famine years. It is worthy of being a famous family that has been passed down for hundreds of years.
The old farmer next to him bent over and waited until the oxcart went far away before he straightened up and said slowly, "It's Zong Jiazi." His wrinkled face showed a sense of pride. "Hey, I'm really lucky today. I can actually see Zong Jiazi's carriage."
The black-faced man was puzzled. In the past, when he saw nobles passing by, he would want to stay away from them. This Cang County was also strange. When common people met nobles, they just bowed their heads to show respect, but did not kneel. He had been in Cang County for half a month. He begged for food in the fields on the roadside. He saw the nobles' ox carts coming and going, but few farmers stood up to greet them.
Seeing the disapproving look on his face, the old farmer didn't care. "You're here just now. If the current prince didn't make a rule that you don't have to kneel when you meet a noble, we wouldn't have such a good life now. In the past, no one wanted to come to the big fields near the road because of this. No one likes to kneel in the mud every day without doing much work, right?"
Seeing that the black-faced man didn't say anything, the old man said, "It was the suggestion of Zongzi that you refugees could settle down in Cang County. Otherwise, you would have to rush to the capital like everyone else." When he said this, the black-faced man's face suddenly turned red, and he grumbled for a long time. "So it's your benefactor in person, I'm really disrespectful." After saying this, he didn't care about the ground under his feet, and lay on the ridge of the field towards the direction of the carriage. He kowtowed firmly.
The old man behind him waited until he finished kneeling before slowly coming over to pull the handle, "Hey, kid, why are you so naive? The noble said you don't have to kneel. Don't do this next time." The black-faced man stood up with the force, smiled foolishly and looked towards the direction of the carriage with a respectful look on his face.
Little did they know that this scene was seen clearly by the people in the car. "Oh, these village elders are still so capable. They are good at taming people." The one who spoke was a neat maid, dressed in indigo. Although her face showed helplessness, there was a smile in her eyes. She held her head and looked at a figure lying on its side in the scented tent without blinking. Seeing that her mistress had no intention of waking up, she lowered her voice and chatted with the driver.
"The harvest this year is pretty good!" Qingdai was extremely bored. The road didn't even need to be repaired. The ox cart was not only slow but also kept shaking, making people drowsy.
"This year's harvest is good. It seems that the soil fertilization method proposed by the Zong family is quite effective." Speaking of the Zong family, both of them paused. The maid Qingdai curled her lips. What a bunch of shameless old people. This was originally proposed by the female monarch, but they took all the credit. The driver hummed softly. She was covered with a hat that covered half of her face, and only her handsome chin could be seen. If she didn't speak, everyone would think she was a man, but the crisp voice exposed that she was a woman.
She was wearing a straw raincoat, and her shorts couldn't cover her long legs. She said slowly, "Madam, you have your own decision." Seeing the farmers bowing, she pulled down the brim of her hat expressionlessly, moved her numb legs, and just when she was about to put them together, she seemed to think of something and put one foot on the shaft, making her sitting posture more bold.
The ox cart continued on the road until noon. If it weren't for the iron hook hanging on the wooden edge at the bottom of the connection between the carriages, which made occasional squeaks, they would have thought that there was no one in the cart.
The middle of the carriage was covered with cowhide, so even if it shook violently while moving, the leather cushion in the middle would only rise and fall slightly.
Xie Xian stretched herself. The only way she could sleep on this bumpy dirt road was by relying on this cowhide sofa cushion that she had modified. She felt like her bones were about to fall apart. She pressed the box board with her fingers. It looked like she had to change it again. Cowhide was hard to find these days. It wasn't difficult to make herself comfortable, but it was a bit expensive.
After running out from Kangjian with great difficulty, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She thought back to when she had just woken up and wanted to go out to relax and admire some handsome young men in the style of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. After all, the four most handsome men in ancient times all came from this era. However, she saw both men and women on the street with powder on their faces, and if you didn't have good eyesight, you couldn't tell who was who.
Turning around, a boy from a military family, who was so big and strong that his face looked like putty, and with his burly figure, he looked like a Barbie doll, and he almost died. Xie Xian wanted to gouge out her eyes. What kind of suffering is this? The capital is healthy, and it is very similar to the health in history. Only the names of some states and counties have changed. Thinking that it was just a parallel world, she was inexplicably relieved.
When someone from the clan came this time, Xie Xian readily accepted the offer. She thought that peasant boys were more pleasing to the eye, and she valued her life and stayed away from sissy boys.
Xie Xian was the only daughter of the second branch of the Chenliu Xie family. It was not an exaggeration to call her Ji Jun. However, since Xie Xian traveled through time and space and looked at the first half of this girl's life, she found that except for her weak relationship with her parents, everything else about her was mediocre.
This dynasty has never been heard of before. The country is called Xia, and the capital is Kangjian. When Xie Xian first came here, she was scared to death when she heard that the capital was Kangjian. She thought it was the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. She just wanted to find a cup of poisoned wine that tastes good to send her body to reunite with her family.
As a result, I found that the Xia Dynasty was completely different from the known history. Xie Xian didn’t specialize in history when she was in school. She only knew about the chaos of the Wei and Jin Dynasties from the Mary Sue TV series in later generations. Even the aristocratic families had a hard time getting along. But the good thing is that the current social customs are similar to the Wei and Jin Dynasties in history, but not the same. This is an era before Zhu Xi and Cheng Yi’s Neo-Confucianism appeared, and it was also an era when women’s social status was not suppressed by totalitarianism.
The Xia Dynasty was just established after 200-300 years of chaos. Although the old capital was still used, the whole country was committed to recuperation from top to bottom. It was like history took a turn from Wei, Shu and Wu, and it was highly likely that it would not go the old way.
Xie Xian heaved a sigh of relief. It took her a month to get used to this body. No matter how much she missed it, she couldn't go back. The original owner was really miserable. It was not easy for a little girl to survive for three years after her parents died. The original owner was a typical noble lady in the inner house. She was weak and was sent to Pingshan Women's Hospital since she was a child.
She was not taken home until she reached the age of 15. She thought she would finally be able to enjoy the company of a father, but unexpectedly, a disaster caused the death of both her parents. The second branch of the huge Xie family fell upon her. Before she could enjoy the blessing of being a girl for a few days, she quickly took on the responsibilities of a queen.
The naive little girl didn't know why she had to go to the academy at such a young age. The eldest son of Xie family was divided into three branches. The eldest branch was good at power, the second branch was good at military affairs, and the third branch was good at wealth.
After the transition from the old dynasty to the new dynasty, the second branch of the family had already been declining, and this only child was left.
The good news is that during this period, young ladies still had some status, and even girls from the main line of the clan had inheritance rights. Fortunately, the force that Xie Xian inherited was just that of the old, weak, and sick.
Since the death of the original owner's parents, the original owner has been depressed and used the excuse of mourning for three years without returning to the ancestral temple, let alone taking over the Black Stone Guard as the successor of Xiyanchi. He was originally a little white rabbit, but he was forced to be the leader of the wolf. This Xie clan is really unique.
It was probably because her parents protected the little girl too well, and she accidentally ran into the Black Stone Guards doing the dirty work of coveting the Xie Mansion, and was frightened out of her wits by the bloody knife.
I went there that night, and Xie Xian, a new-age social animal, barged in. Fortunately, this body has its own memory, otherwise I would be at a loss.
When she woke up and thought about it carefully, she sneered, thinking that the Blackstone Guard might not be so pure anymore. It was not easy for an orphan to keep such a huge family business.
This time when I returned to the clan, I wanted to leave my original maid Lamei in Kangjian to look after the house, but she kept talking about Li Langjun and Liu Langjun's back and forth tricks, instigating the original owner to get married. Fortunately, although the original owner was a coward, she had stayed in the academy for a few years. With the reserve of a girl, she didn't do it.
Xie Xian claimed to be ill and wanted to go back to her hometown to visit her elders, so she left with the maid who delivered the letter. There were originally three cars and 20 guards with her, but Xie Xian was not at ease. No matter how many guards there were, they could not stop Xie Xian from having the idea of harming me.
The clan servant Qingdai was ordered to take her back to the clan.
In the compartment of the oxcart, Xie Xian was playing with a black ring in her hand. It was engraved with a gilded phoenix perched on a phoenix tree, and at the bottom was a flower-shaped stone pattern. Inside was a golden "Xie". This was the Black Stone Order, the punishment tool of the second branch of the Xie family.
She touched the ring repeatedly, feeling curious. It was neither wood nor metal. It looked big but very light. When asked what it looked like, Xie Xian could only nod her head helplessly. It looked like plastic or bone. Even though she was a well-informed modern person, she couldn't tell what material it was made of.
Qingdai was a servant of the Xie clan. Although she was only a lady in charge of external affairs, she had seen those young ladies. Now thinking back, she accepted the job in order to risk her future. If it wasn't for her father's relationship and following the escorts from the second house, she wouldn't have dared to come.
When I first met the Lady, I was also unsure. The elders in the clan said that the Lady of the Second Branch had stayed in Kangjian for so long that she might not be able to bear the responsibility of being in charge of the punishment, and like those delicate ladies, she only wanted to get married.
After secretly glancing at the figure behind the satin curtain, the lady turned over and said nothing. Qingdai sat up straight. When she first went to Kangjian, she didn't hold much hope. It was possible that the second house's military command would fall to the first or third house. Before she left, she heard that the heir had been chosen.
He is just waiting for the queen to nod her head to get a brother for free, but the old men in the tribe just smiled. Aye said that the Black Stone Guards are not easy to deal with. It seems that there will be a big drama when he returns this time. I wonder which side the father of the servant will favor more.
She squinted at Sister Zhen who was driving outside. She didn't believe a word that the lady was delicate.
