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

Rentai's 21 years, as always, is another cold year.The autumn harvest in Xilin County was delayed, some long-growing crops were affected, and the yield per mu was reduced.In other places, this impact may not be a big deal, but in Xilin County, it can also make farmers feel distressed for a long time.

The land in Xilin County is not fertile at all, and there is little rain and water. Now it is still affected by the cold weather, and the grain harvest is really not high.The common people are used to it, but they still have some regrets. It would be even more perfect if it was a few days later and the crops matured.

The two farms of the Ji family have a total of [-] mu of land. The harvest for one year is not much for everyone in the Ji family.As the county magistrate, half of his monthly salary is silver and half is food.

The county magistrate's rank is low, and his salary is not high, so Ji Xuanhe doesn't look down on that little money at all, but the food, from coarse grain to fine grain, there is also a lot of polished rice and white flour, and they are all new food.Noodles are very common in Xilin County, but not many milled rice are sold.Having these ready-made, it saves Uncle Qiu to go shopping outside.

Since Ji Xuanhe took office as magistrate of Xilin County, not only was his salary paid out in a timely manner, but he also didn't take any deductions.Ji Xuanhe was still thinking that his Shangguan had a good character, how could he think of the key to it.

The main house of the Xia family.

"Since Mr. Ji came, we have gained a lot of glory." Mrs. Xia just received this month's salary from the county magistrate Xia, with a constant smile on her face.

When Su Zhixian was in office, although there were not many embezzlements, it was not like now that not only the quantity was all in line, but the quality was also raised to a higher level.

Because Xia Xiancheng is an official and upright, in addition to the income allowed by the court, he only accepts some small amounts of filial piety. Mrs. Xia has to plan carefully to maintain a large family.Although the salary is not comparable to the extra income, it is not a small sum, who would not be happy if it could be more?

The Xia family only prospered after Xia Dongying became the county magistrate, relying on Xia's county magistrate's salary to slowly accumulate the family business, they are still living well.Xia Xiancheng started at the end of the century, and Mrs. Xia had lived a lot of hard times. Even if she became the county magistrate's wife, she was very happy to get some more salary. All filled with joy.

"Let's pay attention to it. It's just that apart from these, there are no other actions. Even the capture of human traffickers last time was just a very ordinary reward. I can't figure it out. I really can't figure it out." Xia Xiancheng was full of doubts, but no one If you can answer it, don't hold it in for a long time so you don't ruin your body.

"What's wrong with this, isn't raising one's own son similar to this? It's not good to be spoiled too much, and it's even less happy to be bullied. It's just right that it's not serious or serious like Ji Zhi County." Mrs. Xia woke up with a word The person in the dream, Xia Xiancheng suddenly realized.

It seems that it is not unreasonable for Xia Xiancheng to respect Mrs. Xia. Although Mrs. Xia is not very educated, she is just the daughter of a down-and-out scholar, but she is not only a person, but also good at raising children.Xia Xiancheng's sons and daughters, not to mention those from the concubine, even those from the concubine are better than the concubine's children of other families.

Jijiazhuangzi is small, but Xishanzhuangzi is bigger. Although most of them are low-grade fields, and it is the first year of reclamation, although the yield per mu is low, the total harvest is much higher than that of Jijiazhuangzi.

Ji Xuanhe looked at the ledger in his hand and was very satisfied.The wasteland is tax-free for three years, and only needs to pay a deed tax of one tael per mu.Even so, once the quantity reaches a large scale, it will be a large amount of money. Without Ji Xuanhe's big head, it would be difficult for other officials to win it alone.

Relying on land reclamation and farming alone, it is not bad to be able to recover three of the annual cost.Especially in the first year, the farmers have to save next year's rations. In addition, half of the remaining food is used to repay the money advanced by officials, and a quarter is distributed as welfare to various official posts. Only the last quarter The grain of the farmers and farmers was stored in the county government granary.

From the county government to the county magistrate and down to the ordinary government servants, there are a lot of people in total, and there seems to be a lot of food, and it is distributed to the bottom people, but it is only a few stones.The officials didn't feel it when they received the extra food, but the lower-level yamen servants were smiling. The food was enough for a strong laborer to feed for a year, and it was worth several taels of silver, which was not too little for them.

What's more, this is just a grain harvest. Don't forget that there are a lot of livestock on Xishanzhuangzi. Now that the weather is getting colder, chickens and ducks, which have a short growth period, can already be slaughtered. Ji Xuanhe asked people to sell them at the market, as much as they could sell How much, part of which cannot be sold is directly distributed to the county government officials, and part of it is made into dry products, which are uniformly pulled to Linzhou Prefecture for sale.

Regarding the income distribution of Xishan Zhuangzi, half of the grain surplus will go to the county government’s grain depot, and half will be used as welfare for officials. For livestock, [-]% will be taken by government officials, and the remaining [-]% will go to the county government.

If more chickens and ducks are raised, the egg production will be very impressive.Except for a part that was directly distributed to the officials, the rest were sold.In order not to impact the county market, only a small amount of fresh eggs are sold, and the rest are made into salted eggs and preserved eggs. Some of them are consumed in Xilin County, and the unsold ones are sold to other places.

Xishan Zhuangzi does not need to be managed by Ji Xuanhe himself. Xia County Cheng and the others hired a chief steward, and the other stewards are promoted from farmers.Ji Xuanhe would not object to any normal behavior as long as it wasn't extortion. It was a good thing for farmers and officials alike, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was the best of both worlds.

"Master, that kid surnamed Ji broke a big deal, so you just let it go?"

"Now is not a good time to attack. As you can see, his parents have given up on him a long time ago. Revenge on Jifu is not a pain for him, and it may expose some of his strength. It is not worthwhile. Wait, the important thing now is Jiangshan Daye, this kind of small official with or without a backer, can kill him without a single finger, so let him be free for a while."

The handmade products produced by Ji's workshop were originally based on the drawings drawn by Ji Xuanhe. Shao Yunchen took over the job after seeing it.Shao Yunchen's artistry is more exquisite than Ji Xuanhe's, but he never expected his imagination to be so rich. Ever since he accepted Ji Xuanhe's design concept, he was like a faucet whose valve was turned on, and the water flowed continuously.

Due to the contributions of the seniors who traveled through the Jin Dynasty, all kinds of toys are available, and novel jewelry embroidery is even more indispensable. There is not much room left for Ji Xuanhe to play, and Shao Yunchen learned the most precious thing from it. It is the design method and concept.With these, there is no need to worry about lack of follow-up, and new products will emerge one after another. Maybe the quality may not be so high, and the word "novelty" is the most important thing.What's more, everyone in Ji's Workshop doesn't have very good craftsmanship. The design is too exquisite and beautiful, and it can't be sold at a sky-high price. On the contrary, it's a bit wasteful.

"This is a basket? I thought it was a huge red apple." Ji Xuanhe was really surprised by Shao Yunchen. This kind of thing may be seen occasionally in modern times, but it never appeared in Jin Dynasty. At least Ji Xuanhe didn't see it. Even though Shao Yunchen thought about it, he hadn't been there.Don't look at the simple use of fruit shapes on rattan products. Few in the world have such creativity.

Shao Yunchen opened the lid, and there was an oiled paper bag inside, signaling to Ji Xuanhe to unpack.

Ji Xuanhe opened it and saw two glutinous rice cakes.Ji Xuanhe doesn't like sweets for dinner, but fruit snacks are fine.He picked up one to taste, and handed the other to Shao Yunchen.The glutinous rice cakes are soft and delicious, slightly sticky, and taste good.

Shao Yunchen didn't move his mouth, he watched Ji Xuanhe eat happily, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and there was a smile on his eyes and brows.

Who is Ji Xuanhe?How could he not notice that he was being watched by others, remembering that there were only him and Shao Yunchen in the room, he didn't look up, and only looked at Shao Yunchen with doubts in his eyes until he finished eating.

Shao Yunchen is not a hypocritical person, he smiled and said: "Xuanhe, I made this with my own hands, the taste is okay, right?"

"I said, why did you take out two glutinous rice cakes so solemnly? You were waiting here." Ji Xuanhe teased, "What reward do you want, how about this?"

After finishing speaking, Ji Xuanhe embraced Shao Yunchen with one arm, and fixed his neck with the other, forcing him to lean back. The two kissed deeply and lingeringly.After the kiss, Shao Yunchen's mouth was smeared with Ji Xuanhe's sweet taste, which not only sweetened Shao Yunchen's mouth, but also sweetened his heart.

"Do it if you like it, and don't force yourself if you don't like it. I don't pay attention to these things." Ji Xuanhe straightened his face and said seriously, "Don't care about others, as long as I like it when I look at it. If you are really interested , even if I embroider every day, I won’t dislike it.”

"Well, I know. It's not that I was idle and wanted to try my cooking skills. I didn't expect my skills to be good. After learning a few times from Mama Duan, I was able to make it like this. What do you think?" Shao Yunchen took Holding the uneaten glutinous rice cakes, showing off.

"I said you are fat, you are really out of breath, look at your small size." Ji Xuanhe didn't want to hang him, "The taste is not bad, but it's not as good as Duan's mother. Okay, hurry up Eat it, it won't taste good if left for a long time."

Shao Yunchen ate the glutinous rice cakes he made, feeling sweet in his heart.He really didn't expect that one day he would wash his hands and make soup for his husband, oh, it's not like him anymore, but he doesn't care, as long as the person he cares about likes it.Besides, he doesn't hate cooking, and he hasn't gone to the point of forcing himself to do things he doesn't like to please his husband.

"Yunchen, did you come up with this apple basket?" Ji Xuanhe turned his attention to the half-drawn "red apple" with the lid lifted.

"Well, I drew a draft and asked the people in the workshop to make it. Not only are there apple shapes, but also other cute real shapes. They are sold well in the grocery store." Shao Yunchen finished eating the glutinous rice cakes in two or three bites , seriously discuss the shop business with Ji Xuanhe.

"Xilin County can't sell at a high price. When the time comes, make a batch of exquisite and small ones and bring them to Linzhou Prefecture together with meat products. I'm sure I can earn a lot more." Ji Xuanhe put forward a pertinent opinion, and now the shop is under Shao Yunchen's management , if not necessary, he doesn't want to make random decisions.

"Okay, let's make something as practical as this apple basket, and make a batch of smaller ornaments. I think it will be liked by girls and children." Shao Yunchen thinks this idea is very good, and walking with the people of Xishanzhuangzi can also Save a lot of trouble.

After becoming an official, he can't change his position at will. Ji Xuanhe doesn't like this very much, but there is nothing he can do about it.He's not happy here, and others can't do it even if they want to. If people know Ji Xuanhe's thoughts, they may even have the idea of ​​​​pasting his face with flour.

It's been almost a year since Ji Xuan and Renzhi County, the lives of the people in Xilin County have not improved, and they are still the same.Only the people in Xilin County, especially the merchants who set up stalls and opened shops, have benefited significantly. The situation of hooligans collecting protection fees has almost disappeared. Once discovered, they will all be turned over to Xishan Zhuangzi.Reclaiming an acre of wasteland, even though it is only a rough experience, is still a hard work, and no one can't think about it and is willing to do it.Those who can't bear it are just because of the embarrassment of life. It's better to take a risk once. If you can't catch the best, if you catch it, it just solves the current predicament.

Once Ji Xuanhe happened to run into him, and he was really speechless when he saw that the gangster was happy when he was caught.Ji Xuanhe declined to comment on what you love and what I wish.

It is late autumn now, and the vegetation is beginning to cope with the coming of winter, either decaying or falling leaves, only the evergreen trees are still extremely strong.

Ji Xuan and Shao Yunchen have practiced riding and archery for many years, but they have never really entered the mountains to hunt.He picked a day and wanted to go to the mountains to experience it before winter.It's been a long time since I tried it, and Ji Xuanhe has almost forgotten the skills that he trained in the last days. It's time to find out how to feel.

There are no high mountains near Xilin County, and you can only see them when you go deep.Standing on the city wall, the snow-capped mountains were looming in the distance. Ji Xuanhe thought that if he had the chance, he would take a look. There were many good things on the snow-capped mountains.

This trip was hunting in the mountains. Ji Xuan and Tong Shao Yunchen both wore strong clothes, showing their strong bodies, with their own distinctive faces and two different styles of handsome looks, which attracted the girls and daughters-in-law on the side of the road to bear. I couldn't help but take another look.

The horses galloped on the official road, and the scenery on both sides retreated rapidly, accompanied by flying dust.

It is not the first time for everyone to let their horses gallop, and each has his own way of avoiding the dust.Ji Xuan and Tong Shao Yunchen took the lead. Although they didn't need dust protection, they also brought dust protection equipment in case they needed it.

Autumn is a season of fruitful harvests, and it also heralds the coming of winter.

There are scattered fallen leaves on the official road. It is estimated that the autumn wind does not want the fallen leaves to be too lonely. Even if they are trampled on, they have to declare that they once existed.

The mountain closest to Xilin County is not Xishan, otherwise the conditions are so convenient, even if the land is barren, some people will open up wasteland.

Ji Xuanhe didn't make a special choice, but chose the nearest Minshan Mountain as the entrance.Minshan is the most frequent place for people in the county to chop firewood and dig wild vegetables, and there are many pedestrians along the way.

Two nursing homes were left behind, and the others followed Ji Xuanhe into the mountain.

There are quite a lot of people on Minshan Mountain, and there are people visiting here almost every day. Ji Xuan and his group didn't stay here, and went straight to the depths.

The vegetation at the entrance is relatively sparse, and even pheasants and hares are rare.As the people walked deeper and deeper, the singing of insects and birds gradually filled the ears, and the vegetation became more vigorous, not necessarily dense, but it just blocked the warm morning sun. Because the trees were tall, the canopy gave people the illusion of covering the sky and blocking out the sun. , sunlight can only reach the ground through the gaps.

This is not to say that it is inaccessible, at least it is not a place frequented by humans.The leather boots stepped on the thick rotten leaves, and there was an endless rustling sound. No one spoke, and it seemed a little bit intrusive.

For more than ten years, Ji Xuanhe went to the mountain for the first time, and he didn't want to just hunt some chickens and ducks and settle down.Ji Xuanhe glanced back at Shao Yunchen, then turned back, there was nothing to worry about, everyone was a man, and the Shao Yunchen he practiced did the same. Shao Yunchen might not be as powerful as him in terms of force, but he was by no means weak.

Walking and hunting in the mountains and forests, among the group, Ji Xuanhe is the real expert.Before Jiang Qing had time to say anything before departure, Ji Xuanhe made everything ready.Jiang Qing had no choice but to keep her mouth shut and prepare the items they wanted to bring.

Ji Xuanhe didn't come out early, and it was already three poles in the sun when he walked, the dappled sunlight shone on several people, the trees were full of shadows, and the field of vision was compressed within a very small range.Everyone still marched in an orderly manner, without any sense of unfamiliarity, and the years of training did not seem to be in vain.

Ji Xuanhe focused on hunting, but Shao Yunchen looked around from time to time, as if he was looking for something.

"Hush..." Jiang Qing made a gesture, and the group stopped moving forward, carefully distinguishing the sounds around them.

After hearing the source of the sound clearly, Ji Xuan and his group walked as lightly as possible and walked slowly towards the sound.After turning around a few trees, I could already see it clearly. Someone exclaimed a little: "It's a white-lipped deer. It's a rare opportunity. We're so lucky. This place isn't considered a remote mountain or old forest. How could they appear here?"

"Maybe it's to welcome us." Ji Xuanhe rarely joked, he is in a good mood now, and he has less scruples when speaking.Deer are not something you can eat if you want to eat it. Sometimes you may not be able to buy it even if you have money, especially in places where deer are not produced. Venison is a precious commodity.

Ordinary deer are like this, but the white-lipped deer is purely luck. When luck comes, just like Ji Xuan and them, it can't be stopped.The hunting target has been found, and it is still an extremely precious white-lipped deer. Ji Xuanhe will not let it go easily.

When they got close to the limit, everyone stopped, and each of them chose a place to aim at different white-lipped deer.They only have one chance, and if they miss it, it will be very difficult to shoot a second arrow.

At this time, Ji Xuanhe regained the command, and following his order, the nine arrows all flew out of the string, rushing towards their respective selected targets.

When the arrow arrived, the blood rose, the wailing sound continued, and the herd of deer scattered and fled in an instant.This scene was indeed a bit too bloody, but Ji Xuanhe didn't blink his eyes, and the others didn't notice it, but Jiang Qing noticed it when he glanced over. He paused for a moment, and then continued to pursue with all his strength as if nothing had happened. He was in charge. The deer ran away with the arrow branch, and the blood was sprinkled all the way.

A total of nine arrows shot a total of five white-lipped deer. Two fell to the ground on the spot, and the remaining three ran for their lives in three directions. They seemed to know their fate and tried to lure people away from the deer. Stop, even though your body is getting weaker and weaker, try your best to move forward, run, run, run, with only this obsession in your heart, until the moment when your life ends when you run out of strength or are overtaken by humans.

For some reason, Ji Xuanhe's nose felt a little sour, and his original good mood disappeared.Moved, he turned around and smiled again. He was the Ji Xuanhe who was calm and self-sufficient, faced difficulties directly, never flinched, and kept his eyes fixed on the front.

There are troubles when there are too many prey. The stag weighs a lot, and it is too difficult for one person to carry it. Nine people, five deer, two of them are masters. If it is not really difficult to arrange, Jiang Qing and the others will never let Ji Xuan and his wife hands on.

Shao Yunchen saw that they were in a dilemma about how to allocate manpower, so he took the initiative to speak: "Xuanhe and I are responsible for the small one, and you can deal with the remaining four."

When the master speaks, the rest will be handled easily. Two of the three stags will lift up one head, and the rest will be in charge of the doe.They have the rope, but they have to find the wooden stick as the pole.Fortunately, there are not many other things in the mountain, but there are many trees, and it is easy to find a few branches as thick as an arm.

The four legs of the white-lipped deer were tied together with a rope, and a wooden stick passed through it. The weight of the buck was shared by two people. Even if the road out of the mountain was a bit long, and the shoulders felt heavy after walking for a long time, it was difficult to dispel the excitement of everyone. .

My master is not that kind of stingy person, they can at least say that they can have a full meal of venison, this is a white-lipped deer, even if they are locals, there are not many people who are lucky enough to have a bite, let alone servants like them .

In fact, including Ji Xuanhe, no one in the group has seen the white-lipped deer in person, but the characteristics of the white-lipped deer are so obvious that anyone who has heard their names can recognize them at a glance, so there is no need to worry about being mistaken.

It is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, not to mention the sweet burden. It took Ji Xuan and them a lot of time to reach the outskirts of Minshan Mountain.

Everyone who met on the road had eyes full of envy, and some even watched them away from their sight before recovering.

If only these deer were mine, everyone thought so, but they could only imagine it this way to have a good time.White-lipped deer are not only difficult to find, but also difficult to catch. If kicked by a male deer, they may die on the spot. Without such strength, even if they know that there are a lot of treasures in the mountain, they dare not enter.

Being looked at eagerly by so many people, Ji Xuan and his group didn't change their expressions.After reaching the foot of the mountain, the deer is tied to the horse, and the person who contributed the horse rides with the others.When everything was ready, everyone went straight to Xilin County.

The sun was still hanging in the east when we came out, and the sun had already set in the west when we returned.Originally, they planned to have lunch in the mountains, and the dry food was ready, but they didn't expect to meet Xinyi's prey near noon, so they didn't even have time for lunch.Minshan is not far from the county seat, and the horseback riding speed is faster. Since they have already descended the mountain, they don't care about such a short time, and they can still have a warm meal when they go back. Ji Xuan and his group simply rushed back hungry.

Entering Xilin County, and paying attention all the way, Ji Xuan and they returned to Ji Mansion amidst the envy of everyone.

"Mother Duan, ask the kitchen to prepare lunch and deliver it to the hall in half an hour. Don't forget Jiang Qing and the others." Ji Xuanhe said as he walked towards the main room.

After drilling for a long time in the mountains and forests, and carrying a white-lipped deer, his body was extremely dirty, his clothes were stained with blood, so he probably couldn't take them anymore, Ji Xuanhe felt a little pity.He only wore this strong outfit once or twice, it looked inconspicuous, but the material was not bad, and Yunchen's outfit also suffered the same fate.

Ji Xuan and his husband are tall and tall, but not as tall as the guards. Their clothes are not suitable for the guards, so they can only be modified and left to Jimo Qiucheng.

After coming to Jin Dynasty for more than ten years, Ji Xuanhe has long been used to it, and he no longer feels awkward about distributing slightly flawed coats to servants.
