Chapter 11 Uncle Liu's Past
Lantian County, bordering Chang'an to the west, is the hometown of Huaxu, the mother of Fuxi and Nuwa, the direct ancestor of Yan and Huangdi.
Located at the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains, southeast of the Guanzhong Plain, the southeast is bounded by the Qinling Mountains, and the southeast is connected by the Zhashui County of Luonan County; the west is bounded by the Kuyu River, adjacent to Chang'an and Ba Bridges; the north is bounded by the Li Mountains, bordering with Weinan.
The climate is mild and the land is fertile. It was planned by the imperial court. The corn planting area is mature and the farmland is full of golden light. When August and September are handed over, it is the harvest season. The fields are filled with people, busy and enthusiastic.
Only a middle-aged strong man was very idle and patrolled around with more than a dozen guards. It seemed that almost all the farmers in the fields knew each other.
The people who were harvesting, whenever they saw this strong man, bent down to salute, some called Uncle Liu and some called Duwei.
Although the scar on this person's face is frightening, the merchants are not afraid, but on the contrary, they also show their intimacy.
This person is Liu Wanquan, the escort of the Nangong Mansion of Lantian Kaiguo County.
Responsible for all external affairs and farming taxes between several farms.
The Tang Dynasty was a farming society, and naturally farming was the main focus. Now the top priority of the Tang Dynasty was to harvest. Before harvesting, we also had to worship the heaven and earth and thank the gods for their protection.
In previous years, the old master presided over the sacrifices. This year, the old master should have come forward, but the young man has been in the mansion since he fell and injured in Qinling, so that Liu Wanquan can temporarily preside over all matters.
Early in the morning, Liu Wanquan led everyone to sacrifice, and all the farmers in the farmhouse went crazy and rushed into the fields.
After the chaos and chaos in the late years of Daye, the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan followed the will of heaven and unified the war and made the Li Tang Dynasty a success, but it was devastated and refugees were everywhere.
With Dou Jiande's troops being destroyed, the world finally settled. In the autumn of the ninth year of Wude, Li Shimin issued an edict as the prince of the country, ordering refugees and refugees from all over the country to return to their hometowns, distribute land, granting them to grow grain, cultivate people, and encourage farmers and sericultures, so that the world will be safe for a while.
The people re-owned land, so naturally they were grateful to His Majesty today, but the people here had no idea about the emperor, but instead regarded Li Ping, a man from the founding county, as a god.
Although the old lord only granted the title of a founding county man, everyone stubbornly believed that the contribution of the old lord was at least a founding county lord. As for how big the lord was at his lord, how could these people know about it?
Therefore, the merchants of several villages did not call county men, but were directly called lords.
Almost every family offers tablets, burning incense every day and kowtow every day, because without Li Ping, the man in this county, there would be no peace and peace in these villages.
"Prince:"
A man with a slope in the farmland saw Liu Wanquan approaching and quickly stood up and gave a standard military salute.
Yes, you can tell that this is a veteran who survived on the battlefield.
Of course, I respected my boss in the past. Now that the Tang Dynasty has decided at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, soldiers from all over the country have also been dismissed and returned to their fields. Returning to their essence, farming is naturally the top priority.
He stepped forward and patted the mansion's shoulder. Liu Wanquan couldn't help but sigh: "Big Niu, I heard that your wife gave birth to a fat boy yesterday. You can't escape this wine. Some family will go to visit the newly born nephew tomorrow."
Liu Wanquan is not good at speaking, and being able to say such words is already the most affectionate way of expression.
The man in the field immediately stood up even more and said happily: "The lieutenant must be entertained when he is here."
It’s a pity that the old master couldn’t see a certain son. Alas!… The wife of a certain person was still a refugee saved by the old master. He assigned to the villain, and even the cost of marriage was given by the old master.
The villain and the wife were looking forward to it day by day. The old lord lived a hundred years, but he never thought that the old wound broke out last month and he went there like this."
After saying that, the man in the field kept sighing and shaking his head.
Listening to his former subordinates, he mentioned the deceased Lord Sir, and Liu Wanquan seemed to have returned to the years of smoke. People flew around, their heads were flying everywhere, their limbs were broken, and their arms were broken, and people were tilted up and overturned...
I couldn't help but sigh: "Big Niu, if it weren't for the old lord, I would probably have... gone to the Huangquan Road long ago."
"Yes, the villain was fighting with the bandits back then. He looked at the long sword that was chopped up next to him, but he had no choice but to do anything about it.
I thought I would die without a doubt, but I didn't expect that the old master knocked me aside, but the knife only hurt the villain's ankle. By the time I got up, the old master had already killed the two thieves.
If it weren't for the old lord, I'd probably have to be in a different place on the spot.
The villain's parents died early and were homeless. The old lord brought me to Lantian and settled in, divided the fields, and assigned my wife to me. I don't know how to repay such a great kindness."
"Yes, if the old lord had not used military merits to punish me for disobeying military orders, a certain family would have been killed in the sacrificial flag."
"The Chief of the Commander was worried that our team of troops would be trapped, so he led his troops to rescue him and disobeyed the military order of retreat. Who doesn't know that love and friendship? Now that time has passed, the Chief of the Commander will never mention that annoying thing again."
"Yes, it's all over. It's really not easy for us to get together now. Thanks to the old master gathering us here and buying these farms, we can live and work in peace and contentment.
By the way, you will notify everyone in your village that the grain given to the mansion will not be allowed to bring old food. If anyone uses old food to fool it, a family will never let it go! Other farms will naturally make others say it."
"Don't worry, the lieutenant must have said that the villain must know them. Who dares to do this? The villain will kill him first.
Of course, no one in our farms would have a dirty thought. It was just that the rent of the 300 households of the old lord's fiefs would be better, and the old grain or the raising money that was less than a ruler... It was indeed unpredictable. The chief lieutenant must check here."
Liu Wanquan, who was about to turn around and leave, was stunned after hearing this: "Big Niu, you are right, you must be careful.
In previous years, when I collected rent and paid grain, I was in charge of the Lord, so I naturally had peace. Now that the Lord passed away, I was afraid that those who were possessed by evil spirits would bully the young man and make a fool of themselves.
After the whole story, several soldiers from the mansion in the village gathered in the mansion when they collected rent with all their hands and feet. A family had to arrange for themselves, and no one was missing."
"only"
The dozen guards behind him stood up with Jiang Daniu and agreed with a loud promise.
Looking at Liu Daquan who was leaving, Daniu was very excited. The Tang Dynasty was martial and the people were strong. Although he had withdrawn from the barracks, the blood in his body still had deep memories. Once he heard the order, it would burn in an instant.
Not only him, but the military equipment in the several villages is like this.
Even farming and eating are erratic and decisive. It seems that these farms are camps, this field is the battlefield, and the miscellaneous things in the mansion are military affairs.
Since ancient times, military orders have been like mountains, and orders are prohibited. They advance when they hear the drums and collect gold when they are ringing. In a fierce battle that year, Liu Wanquan was appointed as the commander of Guoyi. The bandits were powerful. The general ordered them to avoid the edge.
When he heard the order to retreat, Liu Wanquan was going to withdraw immediately. One of his subordinates reported it. On the other side, a hundred subordinates were trapped in the enemy camp.
If you retreat at this time, even if you can escape from danger, the trapped soldiers will probably be destroyed in the enemy's camp.
The soldiers led by Liu Wanquan are all old brothers who have been with him for many years. How can he let go of this?
While ordering the soldiers to retreat, they took their personal guards and fifty people to turn back and rush back to the battlefield, and rescued the more than one hundred soldiers in the palace.
After the war, the reward was given to merits and this matter was immediately exposed. He disobeyed military orders and did not retreat in time. This was to kill the sacrificial flag.
Liu Wanquan knew that he could not escape death. He was also extremely sad. The family still needed to support himself, his wife, children, and his younger brother was young. If he was killed, there were still 10 or 20 people in the family. How could he survive...?
At the moment of difficulty, Li Ping, the personal soldiers, stood up. In order to save Liu Wanquan, the old master admitted that it was his own order that the 50th regiment guards rushed back to save the people.
In that battle, the seven heads that the old lord fought should have been promoted to three levels in a row and promoted to the lieutenant.
However, in order to save Liu Wanquan, he used the military merits of seven people to replace the charge of untimely retreating.
In addition, General Qin Qiong and the sworn brother of the old sage, the matter was suppressed.
So the merits and demerits were offset, and there was no reward or punishment, and the old sir was still the same team leader.
The old master was very open about this, but he often advised Liu Wanquan, saying that he liked to be a team leader the most, and he had been a team leader for decades, and he was used to it.
It is actually uncomfortable to be promoted to a lieutenant. In fact, this is Gu deliberately comforting Liu Wanquan, how could Lao Liu not know?
The grace of saving lives is like rebirthing parents, and they are fellow Lantian fellows with the old team. Since then, the two have been inseparable until the old master died.
Even the young and young people lived in the villa's villa's courtyard. The maids and servants they served were all refugees and refugees arranged by the government.
His two sons and one nephew both accompanied the young man to study.
Now whenever Liu Wanquan sees a few children being praised for their studies, he is proud of himself.
There are only a few dozen people who recognize the words in the villages purchased by men in the old county.
There were only three of them in my family. Although Liu Wanquan could not understand the words of those sages, he still comforted her.
As long as you learn to learn, you will eventually be a day when you will be glorious.
Continue to patrol the ditch on the ground, and the group greeted the people in the farmland as they walked.
Groups of children shuttled through the countryside, playing and laughing, a guard avoided and trotted over to the group of children.
He smiled and shouted loudly to the ground: "Wang Sanlang, why do you have to work so hard? You can't finish it in one or two days, and you still don't have some energy to serve your wife at night."
