Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 226
On the sixth day of the first lunar month, the seemingly endless snow finally stopped.

To Li Shan's surprise, he thought he would see lifeless villagers, and villagers with mournful faces... But in fact, the whole village is bustling and bustling, with smiles everywhere.

The reason is also very simple.

This snowstorm caused severe damage to all parts of Jingzhao. After the heavy snow stopped, the Chang'an Order sent people to count. In the villages within 2000 miles around Chang'an alone, more than [-] people died of freezing.

As for houses collapsing, hands and feet being damaged by freezing, cattle and sheep freezing to death... almost every village exists, and all of them are much more serious than Zhujiagou.

As for Zhujiagou, only six people died, and all of them were refugees who moved here last year. The rest of the lightly and seriously wounded survived after Li Shan's diagnosis and treatment.

The collapsed houses were supposed to be demolished and rebuilt after the beginning of spring, but now they save a lot of effort.

The Li family bought all the frozen cattle and sheep at the original price. For this reason, each family gave extra gifts. Although they were all worthless, they made Zhu family very satisfied.

The earthen stove that Li Shan worked on years ago also helped a lot. Not every household has one, but every household has a brazier.

Mrs. Zhu clearly felt that in Zhujiagou, her son was already talking about everything.

"Laughing so happily?" Li Shan stopped at the south of the village, looking at the smiling villagers in the distance, he was a little puzzled. The south of the village was full of refugees, six of them died, and more than ten were seriously injured.

Xiao Man on the side muttered: "A heavy snow... Lang Jun promised to rebuild the house for them, so he is naturally happy."

"Thank you, sir." Mo Xiang whispered from the other side: "Although there were casualties, but we were displaced, fortunately, you took him in..."

Li Shan nodded slightly. Indeed, these refugees all came from Hedong. Most of them were strangers. Six of them died. This emotion was enough to be overwhelmed by the joy of rebuilding the house.

But for Li Shan, the cost is not high, he has already considered it, firing blue bricks... I don't think it can be done, er, I don't know.

But it is not difficult to fire red bricks. There are two guys on Qi Laoliu's side whose surname is Tan, from Xingzhou.

The raw material is also simple. Li Shan checked it nearby. Just west of Suntan, there is a large piece of clay. It is beaten to make molds, and coal powder is added. It can be dried in the shade after spring.

Walking along the south of the village for a while, and around the ancestral hall, Li Shan was still thinking about how the West Market wine shop was doing, when suddenly a snowball flew over and hit Li Shan on the head.

"Lang Jun!"

Mo Xiang stopped in front of Li Shan, Xiaoman bent down and grabbed a snowball and threw it over, "Little stone...don't run!"

Seven or eight children ran away laughing and laughing. Li Shan's childlike heart was aroused. He squeezed a snowball and ran with his feet. He threw it violently and hit the little stone's neck.

"Uh, why don't you hide?"

"If you hit Da Lang, if Da Lang doesn't hit you back...my parents will beat me up when I get home."

Li Shan was speechless, even if he wanted to have a snowball fight... Then he could only stand on one side, watching eagerly as more and more children divided into two parties to have a snowball fight.

There are a lot of children in the village, originally there were dozens of them, refugees also brought dozens of them, and there are more than a dozen from Hebei, but there is no clear distinction between them. Small stones headed.

The snowball flew randomly in the air, screaming sharply from time to time, remembering that Bian Ji led seven or eight young novice monks into the battle group suddenly, and was beaten hard by the joint efforts of both sides.

Li Shan took a few steps forward, and Liu Hao yelled with his hands on his hips... You, an adult, are having a snowball fight with us, this is shameless!
Then I go to Su Dingfang for a snowball fight?

My brain is almost flooded!

You don't take me to play!

Then I won't play with you yet!
Unhappy, Li Shan took two maids to the east of the village, found a piece of unspoiled snow, and rolled a super big snowball... Uh, I didn't want to roll such a big snowball at first, but I always felt that it was not enough The circle turned out to be bigger and bigger and bigger.

Mo Xiang and Xiaoman stood aside and watched stupidly, watching Li Shan roll a smaller snowball, and then moved it to the top of the big snowball with great effort.

Well, of course there is no such thing as being a snowman in this era.

When Li Shan began to dress up enthusiastically, the two little girls gradually saw the clue.

Take black charcoal to make eyes and noses, draw slanted black lines to make mouths, wrap a red scarf around, insert a long stick to make arms, the head of the stick is obliquely pointing to the sky, and finally wear a broken straw hat. A snowman with a cartoon flavor is formed.

Xiao Man clapped his palms to make friends, his delicate little face was flushed with excitement, Mo Xiang was quiet, but also looked at the snowman happily.

This is the entrance of the village, and there were only a few passers-by villagers looking at it curiously. Gradually, there were more and more people, and many young daughters-in-law boldly approached.

Li Shan took two steps back in satisfaction, and suddenly a pair of fat hands hugged his thigh.

"Uncle, uncle, help me make one!"

Li Shan ruthlessly and resolutely pushed Liu Hao's hand away, you didn't take me to play just now, now you expect me to play with you?
"He, Li Huairen, claims that benevolence and righteousness come first, but now he doesn't take you with him."

"It's just a down-and-out scholar from the countryside. He clings to the Wang family in Taiyuan and the Li family in Longxi. Once he gains power and becomes famous in Shandong, who cares about you?"

"Maybe he still cares about the Li family in Longxi, but you are only a side branch of the Wang family in Taiyuan, and you are not valued by your aunt... You have helped me in every possible way, but now he has not brought you along."

In the small house, Wang Renyou said so in a mocking tone.

"Clear as water, strong as fire, it's really rare wine in the world." Wang Renyou sneered and said, "His Royal Highness Qin Wang, Prime Minister Chen Zicong, and Lord Ande all praised this wine as famous as San Lejiang."

"Ninth brother, do you know how much a box of two small bottles of wine sells in West Market?"

"As a descendant of the Wang family in Taiyuan, you introduced Li Huairen to a descendant of the Li family in Longxi. It's just a Dongshan restaurant..."

"The fourth brother came here today to sow dissension." Wang Renbiao said in an affirmative tone: "I, the Wang family of Taiyuan, passed on the scriptures and righteousness to the family. It is not a merchant's door, and I use money to leave behind."

Wang Renbiao knew very well in his heart that although good wine would definitely make a lot of money, the person in front of him was well received by Princess Tong'an and was a leader of the younger generation in the clan. He was not short of money, but he just hated Li Shan deeply.

Since the Changle Po incident, the children of Prince Qin's Mansion have frequently troubled Wang Renyou... Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Baolin, etc., who are shallow-footed, don't dare to do anything, but the Changsun family, Gao family, Qiu family, etc. are all famous families, or Guan The Long Yimai is reasonable, how can he be polite, and even stabbed Tong'an Chang Princess in front of her once.

Originally, Wang Renyou was well-known in Beijing, but now, although he is not considered a street rat, he is still looked down upon... However, that enemy suddenly became famous and praised by people in Hebei.

This made Wang Renyou almost pissed off.

"That's all for now..."

"Fourth brother, go slowly."

Wang Renyou shook his sleeves and left with a dark face. Wang Renbiao looked at his wife Li Shi who came out from the inner room, "It's okay."

"Li Langjun..." Mrs. Li felt a little uneasy.

"Hui Ren has already said hello to this matter." Wang Renbiao said with a smile: "I said that day, we will join hands in this life, and we will never abandon each other."

Wang Renbiao and Li Kai followed Li Shan to Zhujiagou on the first day he arrived in Chang'an, and visited the gate twice after that. They were very aware of Li Shan's difficulties.

Of the nearly 300 people who came to vote from Hebei, about half of them voted under Li Shan's family. For example, Su Dingfang, Ling Jing and others moved to Zhujiagou...that was also Li Shan's responsibility.

How much does it cost so many people?

Li Kai and Wang Renbiao both had headaches for Li Shan in private.

Wang Renbiao smiled and thought of the two lines of poem on the wine bottle that he sent, the sky is like snow in the evening, can he have a drink... Next time I have to ask clearly, does Huairen also know how to write poetry?
