From the end of the world to ancient times with the writer system

After this protracted rain, everything returned to the normal level of previous years except that the weather was colder than before, and Yangjiabu was dry and rainless as usual.

Not only the crops were almost wiped out by the epidemic, but even the poultry and livestock were not spared.The livestock are not bad, but more than half of the poultry have died of illness. The price of meat in the entire Kangping County remains high, and it will take at least several months to recover.

This time the epidemic has spread to a wide range. Fortunately, the court has responded properly in general. The death rate is not high, but the overall death toll is shocking.Except for a few new epidemics, other epidemics have precedents to follow. Even so, due to the large number of epidemic areas, the supply of medicinal materials cannot keep up, and many people died in vain because they could not buy medicines.

Such a large-scale epidemic has never happened before, and the imperial court did not expect such a situation to occur. When the epidemic broke out on a large scale, the imperial court was unable to deal with it at the beginning.

The medicinal materials have been put into their respective pockets, and if they want others to take them out, it is equivalent to letting them give up their chances of survival. How many people would be so generous?When it's my turn, no one can guarantee what I will do.

The first season crops in Jinchao South were destroyed by heavy rain when they were about to mature, and the harvest was only one or two. Fortunately, the second season crops were planted in time, and the next harvest can be expected.As long as you haven't encountered floods before, feeding your hunger should not be a problem.

Ji Xuanhe didn't know how other places in the north were. At least around Yangjiabu, after this unprecedented rain, all the food and vegetables that could be grown were planted, and the farmers were not too desperate.

Yangjiabu is a fishing village, and more than half of the households still fish fish part-time. Even after such a natural disaster, life is still passable, at least life is much better than that of pure farmers.

After returning to normal order, Ji Xuanhe took Shao Yunchen around Yangjiabu, and found that some mud tile houses that had been in disrepair were soaked by rain and then collapsed. This was even worse for the villagers.

In the eyes of wealthy households, a mud-brick house is worthless, but for ordinary villagers, it takes a long time to save enough money for a mud-brick house.Houses and fields can be regarded as the most important property of farmers. If villagers want to build a new house, it will take at least three to five years to prepare for it.Fortunately, no one was so unlucky that the house collapsed.

Ji Xuanhe couldn't help but rejoice that he was from a good family background and lived in a two-entry green brick house, which could withstand the test of rain and snow.Otherwise, if he was born in a poor peasant household, he would have to rack his brains to earn a living?

Ji Xuanhe remembered that in the year when his second uncle came to visit him, several houses in Yangjiabu were crushed by snow, and now several houses were collapsed by rain. The degree of threat is much greater than that of modern times.

Now that the temperature is the highest of the year, the villagers of Yangjiabu are scrambling to plant potatoes and sweet potatoes, and vegetables can be a little later.

Due to the contributions of the predecessors, the food production is much higher than in history, and the Jin Dynasty was established only a hundred years ago, and it was the time of prosperity, and most of the people had three meals a day.Today, Kangping County’s grain production has decreased by [-]-[-]% for two consecutive years, and this year’s harvest is even less. Even if there is no shortage of food in the family, most villagers still spontaneously start eating two meals a day.

The land tax in the Jin Dynasty was not high, but it was a heavy burden for the common people in such a disaster year.Because the disaster affected such a wide area, the imperial government only waived half of the tax for the people in other places except for the flood-stricken areas and epidemic-stricken areas to allocate funds and food for disaster relief. The imperial court can't let the imperial court not collect taxes for a year, right? ?

Originally, the land tax should be borne by the tenants, but Shao Yunchen saw that this year's grain harvest was really bad, so he asked the Ji family to bear half of the land tax.After the tenants of Ji's two Zhuangzi got the news, their daughters-in-law came to thank them with their own seafood.

When it rains, not to mention the crops, even the vegetables are almost destroyed, and these are the only things that the tenants can afford.For these thank you gifts, Mama Duan didn't refuse, she happily accepted them, and she was afraid that they would feel uneasy if she didn't accept them.

Ji's family has two carriages, one day Ji Xuanhe suddenly thought of riding a horse.I don't know if no one thought of it, or they knew it but didn't say it. Ji Xuan and Shao Yunchen have been in Jinchao for nearly five years, but both he and Shao Yunchen can't ride a horse.

Now that he thought of this question today, Ji Xuanhe called Shen Qing and Qishan to teach them from the beginning.Ji's horses are all grown-up horses, used to pull the carriage, and naturally they are not expensive breeds, they are very common.

Since Ji Xuanhe was only 11 years old, he was about the height of a horse. Not to mention Mama Duan, even Uncle Qiu and the others would not let him take risks. At first, Ji Xuanhe was only allowed to sit on the horse, with Shen Qing holding the rein, and along the way Walking slowly with Ningzhuang.Shao Yunchen was treated the same way, but the one holding the reins was replaced by Qi Shan.

In the evening, the sunset glow makes the sky colorful, the evening breeze is gentle, and the heat of the day is exhausted, which is suitable for going out for a walk.

"Shen Qing, let go of the rein and guard it, Qi Shan, get on my horse and watch carefully." Shao Yunchen is already 14 years old, very precocious, and his mind is not much different from that of an adult.Seeing that Ji Xuanhe had adapted to the horseback, he asked Shen Qing and Qishan to take the next step. If Ji Xuanhe didn't let go, he would never learn to ride a horse.

Under the protection of Qi Shan, Shao Yunchen got off his horse and came to Ji Xuan and his right.

The royal horse is not achieved overnight, it must be done step by step.A group of four walked slowly along the road, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the four of them, casting long shadows.

After a few days of learning, Ji Xuan and his husband were able to jog on horseback.Shao Yunchen was worried that Ji Xuanhe would ride a horse alone at a young age, whenever Ji Xuanhe wanted to run a horse, Shao Yunchen would ride with him.Ji Xuanhe was in front and Shao Yunchen was behind. As long as the horse didn't run wild, Shao Yunchen would wrap his hands around Ji Xuanhe's waist from behind, and Ji Xuanhe would control the reins to gallop freely.

Ji Xuan and his husband were happy, but Shen Qing and Qishan were tired.No one would rest assured that the novice who had just learned how to ride a horse ran freely. Whenever the masters ran horses, the two guards had to take turns riding on the horses to escort them.This is not a joke. There are only two masters in the Ji family. If something happens to them, the Ji family will collapse. No matter what, they can't let this happen.

It was also based on this that every time the masters wanted to requisition horses, Shen Qing Qishan had to check the horses from head to toe, and no mistakes were allowed.

Shao Yunchen's body is already good, and after practicing the elementary exercise technique, he became healthier and his body coordination was better, so it didn't take long for him to learn how to trust the horse.After all, Ji Xuanhe was a little small, and he lacked momentum on a tall horse, with short hands and feet, but he was not much slower than Shao Yunchen. Later, he learned to control the horse steadily.

Even so, every time Ji Xuan and his husband went out to ride horses, Shen Qing or Qi Shan would always be by their side.Ji's family only has Ji Xuan and a single seedling, so it can't be careless.

Ji's family only has two horses, and Shen Qingqishan wants to occupy one of them. Ji Xuan and Tong Shao Yunchen want to run horses unless they share the same horse, otherwise they can only take turns.This was too unpleasant, Ji Xuanhe remembered that his second uncle often went out to do business, so he asked someone to send a letter to the second uncle, asking him to help him find two good-bred horses if he had the opportunity, preferably half-bred horses, no need Great, just better than ordinary horses.

Trading is very hard. Wen Zhuocheng travels up to two times a year, whether to go north or south depends on the situation.Ji Xuanhe was lucky, Wen Zhuocheng was preparing his luggage when he received the letter from his eldest nephew.His destination this time is the same as when Ji Xuanhe first came to Jinchao, Changbai Mountain, which would not pass through the grassland, but it is not far away.It was rare that Ji Xuanhe made a request to him, which happened to be not far from his destination, and Wen Zhuocheng definitely had no reason not to satisfy his nephew.

Not long after the epidemic, Wen Zhuocheng was afraid of accidents on the road, so besides leaving the nursing home raised by his family, he also invited another bodyguard to go with him.The Wen family is not short of this money, and safety is the most important thing.

When the group set off, many merchants gathered together, and Wen Zhuocheng's group had the largest number of people.This is a common practice, but there are commercial firms in larger cities with the same destination and similar departure time. As long as you want to, you can report to the commercial firm, and after the overall arrangement of the commercial firm, you can set off together. will be much smaller.

Most of the time when Wen Zhuocheng goes out, he only takes his own nursing home with him, and only occasionally needs the hands of a commercial firm.

During this trip, only a small number of merchants went further than Wen Zhuocheng, and most of them left halfway.It is impossible for the various merchants to return with as many people as when traveling, and most of them can only discuss the return date with the merchants with similar destinations and take each other as companions.

The two merchants who originally went to Changbai Mountain like Wen Zhuocheng, heard that Wen Zhuocheng had to turn to the grassland on his return trip, and the two leaders decided to take the same trip after a little thought, in exchange for a few good horses and grassland specialties. .For this reason, the two restocked some goods.Different destinations require different goods.

There was also an epidemic in the grassland, and many livestock died of illness. This year is not the best time to go to the grassland, but you might as well take some with you when you return.

The epidemic did not only occur in Jinchao, but all the countries bordering Jinchao were not spared, so there is no need to worry about neighboring countries disturbing the border.Although many places were affected by the disaster in the Jin Dynasty, only a small number of court officials died from the epidemic.The common people may not be able to buy medicinal materials, but this situation does not exist for officials.They will get sick and die, either because they are too poor to survive, or because they are unlucky and trapped in a new epidemic area, they will die before the doctors can discuss the diagnosis and treatment plan.

Now part of the grassland has been merged into the territory of the Jin Dynasty, and it has also enjoyed the relief of the Jin Dynasty. The life of these tribes is much better than other tribes.That's why businessmen like Wen Zhuocheng would change their route at will, otherwise it would be a foreign trade, and the certificates for going abroad were not so easy to get, and they would not make such a detour.

When camping, Wen Zhuocheng chewed the delicious spicy beef jerky, and looked very proudly at the other two leaders who were going to walk with him to the end.This was given to him by his elder nephew as a filial piety, and he couldn't see them being greedy to death.

For those in charge of foreign affairs, beef is not a rare thing. The problem is that there is an epidemic this year. People like them who have a good life cherish their lives. Who would dare to buy meat from a butcher shop?As for the beef cattle on their own farm, they usually have to wait until the second half of the year or even before the New Year’s Day to slaughter the beef cattle. Last year’s inventory has long been exhausted, and most of the beef we usually eat comes from butcher shops.Now that the only way to get it is cut off, it's no wonder these two people are not greedy.

Enough showing off, Wen Zhuo gave some of it to the two of them, and said with a smile on his face, "Don't worry about eating it, the beef that was checked by a veterinarian before slaughtering is not sick beef."

Due to the strong control of the imperial court, very few people in the north were displaced, and there was no robbery until Wen Zhuocheng arrived in Liangwan County, Changbai Mountain.Wen Zhuocheng came to Changbai Mountain mainly to trade furs and medicinal materials, and to purchase some local specialties.

There was no shortage of wind, meals and camping along the way, and everyone worked very hard, so Wen Zhuocheng decided to rest in Liangwan County for two days.Going out for business all the year round, he doesn't want to wear down his body, and he doesn't lack the enjoyment he should have.

Wen Zhuocheng was busy doing business with the locals, but Ji Xuanhe was very idle.

Ji Xuanhe had no plans to become an official. He studied science and engineering in modern times and had little interest in liberal arts. This will naturally not change when he comes to Jin Dynasty.It's just that he doesn't reject learning the Four Books and Five Classics, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.Learning knowledge is a little bit, because there is no pressure, reading is easy and comfortable.It is also because of this that Old Master Zhen agreed to Ji Xuanhe's plan that he would study for five days and two days off, and only study for half a day. Otherwise, how could he be so leisurely as a scholar who took the exam?

Afternoon is working time. Ji Xuanhe is still young and can't discuss business with others. There are only two shops in Ji's family including Shao Yunchen's dowry shop. There are very few accounts. It will be fine if you spend a few days checking the accounts every month. .Ji Xuanhe was like this, Shao Yunchen was not too busy.

Zhuangzi is busy for a while during the spring plowing and autumn harvest, and it is fine to visit occasionally at other times. Shao Yunchen is the master, and there are many people under him. It is not his turn to do it.

There are not many servants in Ji's house, Shao Yunchen handles housework very quickly, what Ji Xuan and his wife usually do in the afternoon is to practice elementary exercise and horse racing, and occasionally play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.If it weren't for these things to do, Ji Xuanhe would have nothing to do.

Now that Ji Xuanhe is good at equestrian skills, he and Shao Yunchen have traveled the road leading to Ningzhuang over and over again, and they are very familiar with each other.

In the past two days, Ji Xuanhe always felt that riding a horse was fun, but it seemed that something was missing.What is missing?Ji Xuan didn't have many other things, but he had a lot of time. He had been entangled in this issue, and suddenly, he remembered that he was missing the weapons he had at hand—horsewhip, bow and arrow.

The Jin Dynasty had very strict weapons control. You can buy hunting bows and daggers at most in blacksmith shops. The standard weapons used by the army do not go through the back door, and private individuals basically cannot buy them.

Ji Xuanhe used bows and crossbows in addition to guns in the last days.It took a lot of money to use a gun, and he spent nearly half of his hunting time with a bow~crossbow.Ji Xuanhe is not stupid, and he is good at science and engineering. After the end of the world, his hands-on ability has improved by leaps and bounds. His best weapons, bows and crossbows, can naturally be made by hand.

Ji Xuanhe thought about the tools he could use now, and frowned slightly.In modern times, even in the end of the world, there are still many advanced tools that can be used, which are not only a little bit better than today's tools?To use such simple tools to make excellent weapons and equipment, Ji Xuanhe somewhat admired those weapon craftsmen.If it was him himself, wouldn't it be possible to make an excellent weapon after many trials and trials?

Crossbows are more complicated to make than bows. Ji Xuanhe didn't want to challenge such a difficult task for the time being, so he chose the bow decisively.The materials for making the bow are all ready-made, so he doesn't need to think about it himself.There is no bow-making tool at home, so Ji Xuanhe is going to take a trip to Kangping County.Anyway, to be idle is to be idle, since Ji Xuanhe has set off, Shao Yunchen can't be left behind.

Ji Xuanhe inherited his half-nerd habits in modern times, and he didn't like to run a lot when he had nothing to do. It was rare for him to go to the county town. Ji Xuanhe and his wife were going to have a good time.

Grain harvests have been poor in successive years, and the epidemic has hit again this year. Kangping County is no longer as prosperous as before, and the shops on both sides of the street are a little deserted.

Ji Xuanhe decided to take a look at his two shops first. The grocery store and the cloth shop are both civilian-oriented, and the price of the goods is not high. If you just look at the flow of people, the business is better than those shops that follow the mid-range route.

Ji Xuanhe actually doesn't really want to start a grocery store business, but it's been so long that he doesn't bother to change it.The grocery store has a lot of miscellaneous things, most of which are not worth a few dollars, and many things are needed by ordinary people, no matter how poor they are. The sales of goods are much better than other shops that operate a single category.Ji Xuanhe saw that the flow of people in the grocery store was quite considerable, but the money he earned was just needles and brains.

When Ji Xuanhe decided to manage his own shop, he had an extraordinary understanding of the accounts.Although he thinks that opening a grocery store is too troublesome and buying goods is too trivial, the benefits are real.Regardless of the inconspicuousness of the grocery store, the annual profit is no less than that of other stores.Seeing the good profit, Ji Xuanhe became more and more lazy to change the shop.

Grocery stores are different from other single-operated stores. The monthly sales volume of each item is not large, and Qiu Bo is responsible for the purchase.Shao Yunchen's dowry shop, Yunji Buzhuang, has to be careful. When Ji Xuanhe is a few years older, he must negotiate and sign the contract with the supplier.

Yunji Cloth Shop mainly caters for middle and low-end customers. Since most of the shop's customers are women, Ji Xuan and Tong Shao Yunchen took a look outside the door, and then directly bypassed the back door of the shop.

Yunji Cloth Shop deals in fabrics near Kangping County, and its competitiveness is naturally inferior to other silk and satin shops that get goods from the south.But fortunately, when they opened the shop, the two knew the dilemma of Ji's family, that is, Ji's family did not have the ability to go far to do business.Ji Xuan and his husband are too young, and Qiu Bo has no such experience. It is not so easy to set up a caravan, so Shao Yunchen planned to take the road of small profits but high sales from the beginning.

Yunji Cloth Shop has been open for several years, and now the capital has already been earned back. The shop and the backyard are completely pure profits.Ji Xuanhe didn't have much ambition, Shao Yunchen didn't know if it was just his temperament, or he was going along with Ji Xuanhe, he showed that he wanted nothing more than Ji Xuanhe.

Unlike other couples, Ji Xuan and his husband spend most of the day together.Of course, they are not all tired of being together. Many times, the two of them do their own things.After five years, Ji Xuanhe thought he was the one who knew Shao Yunchen the best.

Ji Xuanhe felt that if Shao Yunchen hadn't been persuaded by his stepmother to let his father marry outside, Shao Yunchen would have had the ambition to be a blue sky.Shao Yunchen is very good at judging the situation and knowing that getting married is a foregone conclusion, so he immediately changed his mind.The road to becoming an official through the imperial examination was cut off by his closest relatives, and he had no nostalgia at all, let alone decadence.

At the beginning, the original master was weak and sick. Not long after Shao Yunchen married Ji Xuanhe, he was hit hard again and was kicked out by the Jifu of Yunzhou Prefecture.Shao Yunchen also did not give up, actively living the best life he can live.Copying books earns a meager amount of money to subsidize the family, and he takes good care of Ji Xuanhe who is often sick. He manages Ji's family in an orderly manner.Shao Yunchen can be so calm at such a young age, Ji Xuanhe has to lament that the ancients are precocious, especially the ancients who have been in charge since childhood.

Shao Yunchen has seen and enjoyed wealth, now Ji Xuanhe is not short of money, but compared with Jifu and Shaofu, it is nothing.Can he not be blinded by wealth, Ji Xuanhe is sincerely glad that he can marry someone like Shao Yunchen.

The family has spare money, but Ji Xuanhe does not agree with extravagance and waste.This is a habit he developed in the last days. It is estimated that he will not be able to change it in his life, and he has never thought about changing it.Of course, that was only for his own family, and he wouldn't say much to outsiders.

As a result, there are at most three or five dishes on the dining table of the two masters of the Ji family, which is still for two people, so it cannot be compared with the Shaofu Jifu's endless food.Shao Yunchen can endure hardships, this is what Ji Xuanhe learned from the original body's memory.At that time, most of the Ji family's money was spent on Ji Xuanhe. In order to save more money just in case, Shao Yunchen ate mostly seafood, and even meat and vegetables took several days to eat.

Because of Shao Yunchen's personality, Ji Xuanhe accepted a stranger by his side so easily after he traveled to Jin Dynasty.At that time, he was very vigilant, but if Shao Yunchen was a little distracted, with Ji Xuanhe's state at that time, he might even retire.He doesn't allow a person who doesn't care about him to be by his side.

Ji Xuanhe has a sense of responsibility, he has taken over the original owner's body, and he will not shirk what should be his responsibility, but he will not just take it over to anyone just because of this.Ji Xuanhe will never wrong himself because of the so-called sense of responsibility. If he and Shao Yunchen have different personalities, no matter how good his temper is, he will only arrange him properly, but he will not just settle for marriage.Now that five years have passed, Ji Xuanhe has accepted Shao Yunchen. If there is no accident, he will spend his whole life with Shao Yunchen.Fortunately, Ji Xuanhe also likes men, otherwise even he would have to complain for Shao Yunchen.

Although Ji Xuanhe is in charge of Yunji Cloth House now, after all, this cloth house is counted as Shao Yunchen's dowry shop, and Shao Yunchen has to go over the accounts.The two of them don't come to Kangping County often, and now that they are here, they plan to check the inventory of cloth village.

After the epidemic, Yunji Cloth Shop has purchased goods once, and now there are more than half of the warehouse's various fabrics piled up in the warehouse.Cloth is easy to be affected by damp, and the shopkeeper invited has experience in running a cloth shop, and has a lot of experience in how to store cloth, and has never made any mistakes in the past few years.

The two shops of Ji's family are not eye-catching at all, and since they are backed by Ji's mansion, there is no unsightly troublemaker.Even so, the money that the shopkeepers managed up and down was not less.

Ji Xuanhe and Shao Yunchen walked out of Yunji Buzhuang after looking around the warehouse, and began to wander the streets without distraction.

It's late autumn now, Ji Xuanhe is wearing a lake blue satin gown with dark patterns, with a square scarf on his head, he looks like a little scholar.Shao Yunchen wore an azure robe, also with dark patterns, and bamboo leaves were embroidered on the cuffs and necklines. On his head was a bun commonly seen by men, with two hairpins stuck in it.

Ever since Shao Yunchen grew in stature, every time he went out, he would put on a special hairpin representing a married man to avoid misunderstandings.Shao Yunchen's appearance is not bad, this kind of thing is really possible, and preventing it in advance can save trouble.

Shen Qing was driving the carriage, with only Jimo accompanying him, Ji Xuanhe asked the two to wait outside the shop, while he and Shao Yunchen first went to buy the tools needed to make ordinary bows and arrows and the materials that were lacking at home.

The most powerful arrow is the iron arrow, but the Jin Dynasty has strict weapons control, so Ji Xuanhe chose bone arrows or wooden arrows as the next best thing. Anyway, he just used bows and arrows to go hunting in the mountains for a while, so he didn't need to be so particular.If you can't get eagle or eagle feathers, you can barely use chicken and duck feathers.There is beef tendon at home, so there is no need to buy it. There is ready-made beef tendon in the lumber shop, so he just bought it.

Ji Xuanhe took Shao Yunchen out of the shop without further delay after shopping.

Seeing that it was not early, Ji Xuanhe decided to have lunch first before going shopping.

It has been several months since the epidemic, fresh meat can be eaten with confidence, and the business of restaurants and restaurants is much better than when the epidemic broke out.Some time ago, the butcher shop was deserted, and even the business of the restaurant was quite light.There is no way, everyone cherishes life, and dare not eat meat easily, and if the appetite can be tolerated, it will be tolerated.

The food culture of the Jin Dynasty is very prosperous, and this is all thanks to the predecessors of time travel.For hundreds of years, food culture has been integrated into the lives of ordinary people. Anyone who has a little family business pays attention to good food and drink.Thanks to the blessings of his seniors, Ji Xuanhe finished his lunch happily.

Kangping County is near the sea. Although it is not as prosperous as before, the streets are still full of people.Now that meat is not fully available, seafood has replaced meat on the dining tables of many families.It is also true that more merchants come to Kangping County to buy seafood than ever before.

Merchants seek profit, Jinchao has no merchant registration, only merchants have higher taxation, merchants can participate in the imperial examination, resulting in an endless stream of businessmen.The imperial court took up a lot of taxes and business taxes. Emperor Rentai suppressed businessmen, but did not prohibit them. There were frequent business exchanges between the north and the south.

Ji Xuan and his group of four wandered around Kangping County aimlessly, and bought whatever they liked, which was quite fun.

Seeing that it was getting late, Ji Xuanhe decided to go home.
