Chapter 1 My Life Span Is Very Tight

In April, the second year of Kaiyuan, the branches were green.

Seven miles outside Tonghua Gate in the east of Chang'an City, the Ba River flows through.

In a manor on the east bank of Ba River.

A group of people looked at a copper pipe in front of a young man.

Then the boy put the small burning torch to the ceramic thing with many small holes on it.

There was a soft 'bang' sound, and flames appeared on the one-inch-long ceramic thing as thick as a thumb.

"It's done. You can use it to illuminate your reading at night. Remember not to get wet."

The young man smiled and said to the people dressed as students around him.

All the students gathered around to watch. After one person watched, he clasped his hands and bowed deeply to the young man: "Brother Li Yixian supported us with the candlelight, but we can't repay him. I'm really ashamed."

Other students saluted one after another, showing gratitude.

The young man waved his hand: "My dear friends, there is no need to thank me. When you are rich and prosperous, don't forget the poor people."

"My righteous brother, we will definitely remember it," the man just now said again.

Everyone saluted again.

Then he watched Li Yi close the screw on the copper pipe and the flame went out.

Then they all ran back to their rooms in the village excitedly.

It was still cold in Chang'an in April, but it was warm in their house.

In addition to the wooden beds erected in the house that are different from those lying elsewhere, there are also fire tunnels built along the walls.

The houses are connected by fire roads, and there is a brick chimney behind every six huts.

Six huts share one stove, and students take turns adding charcoal to make the house warm and pleasant.

Not to mention the students, Li Yi, who lit the biogas flame lamp, also hurried back to the main room.

Enter the house, close the door, and unbolt it.

Li Yi silently said: "Come out and see how much my life span will increase?"

As he chanted silently, a screen appeared in front of him that no one else could see.

A number is displayed on the screen: 1550

Li Yi patted his chest: "I'm here again, very good, an increase of 1,200."

As he spoke, he wiped his sweat and felt lingering fear.

The previous number was 350.

This means that he can live for 350 hours, which is 700 hours.

If converted into days, it would be a little over twenty-nine days.

When the time comes, he disappears and his life disappears.

He brought such a system with him when he traveled through time last October.

The system rewards longevity as long as he can move this society forward.

At the same time, the life span can also be exchanged for the technical information and physical objects he needs.

For example, this biogas pool and the simple method of making biogas lamps were obtained by him at the cost of his life.

It took four hundred hours of exchange.

And better biogas lamps cannot be replaced.

But he is not in a hurry. The use of biogas is a series, and there will be income in the future.

This place is the eastern suburbs of the capital, and the manor covers an area of ​​one thousand acres.

When Li Yi came through time travel, the procedures were complete and no one suspected it.

There are forty-two students from Chang'an living in the manor free of charge to provide Li Yi with life.

Students study hard and increase their knowledge, which increases their life span.

In order to provide students with a good learning environment and increase their knowledge.

He asked the tenants he hired and the official slaves he bought to be stewards, male and female servants to build the fire wall.

"It's spring, it's time to find ways to make money, otherwise we won't be able to support others." Li Yi said with some relief after seeing the numbers.

He owns a thousand acres of land and leaves 800 acres for ten families as tenants.

As the head of the family, he provides oxen and plows and charges 20% rent, which is 30% lower than other families.

He also said that he was responsible for the mediocre rents of the tenants, and the ten families defeated other competitors and came over with joy.

Last winter wheat was planted and harvested in another month and a half.

It's time to pay summer grain to the imperial court.

Twenty percent of the rent is simply not enough for renting, mediocre, and tune-ups.

So Li Yi had to find other ways to make money.

Fortunately, he had not been idle all winter and was well prepared.

***

When it gets dark at night, housekeeper Song De invites everyone to come over for dinner.

When we arrived at the conference hall of the master's house, forty-two students also rushed over.

Every ten days on weekdays, the proprietor Li Yi would treat the students to a meal with meat to supplement their nutrition.

Accommodation is free for students, and Li Yi doesn't care about the others.

On the contrary, four students who had colds came down with fever in winter.

Li Yi exchanged two hours of his life for a box of cold medicine.

Secretly mix it into ginger soup and drink it to the students, that's it.

Two tablets per person is enough, there is quite a lot left in the pill box.

He was afraid that he would be slow to ask a doctor to give him traditional Chinese medicine and then infect others.

At this time, there were five out of ten households of tenant farmers with three households, consisting of young couples and children.

There are three families of four, a young couple and two children.

There are two families of five, a young couple and three children.

There is one steward, four male servants and four maidservants.

There are forty-six people in the whole family, including Li Yi, who is forty-seven.

Today is less than ten days since the last gathering, only six days.

But isn’t there a biogas lamp? Let’s celebrate.

The main reason is that Li Yi wants to try something new and see if everyone likes it.

Today we eat Lao Wan, which is dumplings.

The dumplings stuffed with pork and garlic are made by Zhuangzi in-house.

I ate garlic sprouts today because I wanted to plant garlic to see how it was doing.

Start planting in April and harvest around September, and you can plant another crop.

Li Yi has set aside 100 acres of land to grow garlic, and has already put in base fertilizer.

When one of the three biogas digesters is used up first, use biogas fertilizer for top dressing.

Now comes the main event. Whether you can make money or not depends on liking something.

The steward Song De brought a large bowl with yellow-black liquid in it.

It smells like five flavors.

"This is the soy sauce developed by my proprietor. You can dip it in Lao Wan and taste it." Song De introduced solemnly.

The students and tenant farmers looked solemnly, waiting for the steward to distribute the food.

The steward picked up a spoon, one spoon for each person, and scooped it into the earthenware dish.

Each person has a spoonful of soy sauce, holds the balls firmly with chopsticks, everyone takes a small bite, and then...

"It's delicious. It's extremely delicious. Li Xiandi is a great talent." A student praised it.

The rest of the people all agreed, "Okay, it tastes good, it must taste good. Even if it doesn't taste good, it must be delicious."

I have no choice but to live in someone else's house for free.

Besides, there are free lights tonight.

The other tenants, except for two little guys who cannot eat prison pills and can only eat thin food, the other seventeen children are also well behaved.

The children were studying with the students, and Li Yi provided them with pens, ink, paper and inkstones.

Therefore, in addition to farming, ten households of tenant farmers also volunteered to do other work for the proprietor.

Li Yi tasted the soy sauce, eh! It tastes good, the pure brew is better than the blended one.

After the meal, Li Yi took a rest and prepared to sell soy sauce.

The students returned to their small rooms and lit the pottery lamps on the small copper tubes extending into the room according to Li Yi's instructions.

The room suddenly became brighter, much brighter than a candle.

Each one held a book and read hard, occasionally writing down what was in his mind.

The next morning, because they had to plant garlic today, the people in Zhuangzi started eating three meals a day.

Children of all sizes drank millet porridge, ate a boiled egg, and went to school to study on their own.

"The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is vast, the sun and the moon are waxing and waning, the stars and constellations are arranged, the cold comes and the summer comes, the autumn harvests and the winter hides..."

The crisp sound of reciting came from the school.

Listening to the sound, the working tenants were filled with strength for a moment.

In a nearby manor, there were about thirty people a year listening attentively.

After a while, he pointed at Li Yi's Zhuangzi and asked, "Who is that?"

A person near him who was always bending over screamed back: "We were originally from the same clan, but they died one after another. When only a few people survived, they recruited Li Yi, an orphan from the same clan, to join the clan. Soon, several people went to die before the rest of the clan. "

"Why are there voices of young children reciting the Thousand-Character Essay?" the person asked again.

"Go back to the Taiwei and ask, Li Yi has just entered the age of dancing elephants this year, and he is not as weak as a crown prince. Yes! He understands studies and education."

"Last winter, we hired ten tenants and bought nine slaves."

"Later, a kiln was built to bake bricks, and a house was built in the winter for students without roots in Jingcheng to stay."

"Students remember his kindness and teach the tenant farmers to learn literature."

The man who was called Taiwei smiled and said: "There are still such young men? Why don't you and I change clothes and go see them."

"Lieutenant..." The person next to him hesitated.

"Is there any danger?" asked the Taiwei.

"Not really."

"Let's go."

The two of them changed into ordinary clothes, did not lead the horses, turned around, and took a detour.

At this time, the forty-two students also got up one after another, washed themselves, and went to clean the cowshed, pig house, and chicken pen.

The two people arrived just in time and were surprised to see a group of students doing such farm work.

The captain became interested and strolled to the cowshed.

Before seeing the cow, he saw a pair.

First couplet: A cold eyebrow and a thousand fingers

Second line: Attached to the title of Ruziniu

"Good couplets and good words." The Taiwei tasted it carefully and praised it.

Turning around and arriving at the pig house, there was the same couplet.

First couplet: No family can be established without pigs

Second line: It’s hard to leave the country but keep the clan

When the Taiwei saw this, he took a deep breath.

Nowadays, the clan comes before the country, but this couplet says that without a country, one loses the clan.

He clenched his fists and went to the chicken pen again.

The chickens have been let out, and the students are cleaning the chicken coops on the upper and lower floors.

Don't worry about the upper level. Remove the chicken manure from under the horizontal partition in the chicken coop.

Then the Taiwei saw another couplet.

First couplet: Every time the phoenix sings at dawn, it goes away

Second line: I often think of the birds calling home at dusk

He closed his eyes and sighed softly: "Alas~~~"

He thought that his position as Taiwei was given by the emperor's younger brother. UU reading www.uukanshu.net

The emperor's brother really didn't want to kill each other anymore, so he put the brothers together.

In court, the emperor's younger brother is naturally a dragon, like a phoenix reaching the sky.

Waiting for the next court, the emperor's brother and his brothers put aside their other identities.

The chicken keeps the phoenix's ambition, but it comes home at dusk. Is it because of family?

"One couplet describes the heart, one couplet describes the relationship between family and country, and one couplet describes family affection. What a talent."

The captain was shocked.

It is obviously an ordinary farm, but what I feel is the majestic magnanimity.

Who is that young man?

The sound of children reading continued to ring in my ears, lingering like celestial music.

Are these the people of the Tang Dynasty?

"When writing was first written, it was for wearing clothes. When people gave up their thrones and gave up their kingdoms, there was Yu Tao and Tang Dynasty." The children's voices continued to be heard.

The Taiwei suddenly smiled. Yes, he gave up his throne to the country. Does this mean he and his father?

Just as he was thinking about it, a student who had finished cleaning the chicken coop came over and handed over his hand: "This dear friend invited me, are you also from Mutianju?"

The lieutenant was stunned for a moment, then understood.

The other party asked implicitly whether you had no money to live in the house, so you came here.

But when he thought about it, he felt it was right.

The winter wheat is not mature yet, and last year's grain reserves are almost exhausted.

As a result, food prices are high, which is very difficult for students who come to live in Chang'an.

In another month, it will be a real drought.

"Come here to take a look. I wonder if the proprietor is here?" He said vaguely.

"I'm planting garlic. If I'm not in a hurry, I'll wait until he comes back at noon." The student pointed in one direction.

"Thank you. It's best if I go ahead." The Taiwei clasped his fists and headed in that direction with the people around him.
