Daqin Fusu: It is difficult to start the battle

Chapter 54

On the outskirts of Xianyang, in Liuguoli.

The father-in-law of the original Wei Wangjia, who is now Wei Bang in Liliuguoli, took Fusu to Tianjia's house.

Fusu remembered that since Tian Ji came to him, this was the first time he took the initiative to meet Tian Jia.

So when he was about to leave Tangchi Palace, he hesitated for a moment, thinking that it was better to go there empty-handed, which was more in line with the personality of an emperor.

Ordinary people visit the old man's door to call him a visit, but he should be called Jiaxing.

The entire road in Liju has been completely taken over by soldiers. There are not even a single mouse on the road, let alone people.

And this all starts with the hammer that Bo Langsha flew out back then.

Tianjia's house is a public residence that is being expanded. After Tian Ji was conferred the title of wife, he was rewarded with a rank of nobility according to the law of Qin. Otherwise, his family would still be a standard commoner.

So before that, even Tianjia himself had to go to the farmland to cultivate for the titled people for free during the busy farming season.

The female relatives of the family will be recruited to the village to pound rice.

Most of the other households in the Six Kingdoms also had such daily routines.

After the disintegration of the six kingdoms, these sons of Gaoliang who used to be famous for their food, also lived the life of common people who worked at sunrise and went in and out.

When Fusu came, Tian Jia and his two sons were picking up fallen leaves outside the courtyard wall. The fallen leaves were piled up under the wall where they could shelter from the rain, with branches and stones pressed on them.

Obviously, this is used as firewood.

The Tianjia father and son, who were controlled by the soldiers, looked at Fusu walking towards them with some trepidation.

Ever since Fusu left Xianyang and went to Jiuyuan Army as a supervisor, Tian Jia and his son never saw him again.

On weekdays, they only have the opportunity to meet each other during the New Year's Eve.

Basically, they took the gift secretly prepared by Tian Ji and went to the Prince's Mansion to wait to be summoned, and then the two sides had a friendly meeting in a warm atmosphere.

After exchanging pleasantries, Tianjia and his son "voluntarily" proposed to leave on the grounds of family affairs, but after Fusu couldn't "stay", they had to ask them to meet Tian Ji.

After half an hour, they left from the Prince's Mansion, waiting for the next year to repeat the process.

There is no way, their sensitive identities determine all of this, especially after Chang Wenjun's rebellion and Fusu's biological mother died in depression, the first emperor looked like a traitor to everyone, so everyone could only live in precarity.

"Meet Your Majesty!" Tian Jia and his son knelt down on the ground, saluting.

The disparity in titles between the two parties led to the fact that even if Tian Jia was the father-in-law of Fusu, he had to be like this.

Fusu intends to step forward to help, but then he gives up. He waits until Tianjia and his son have finished paying respects before going forward to help Tianjia.

Years of farming life made Tian Jia look very old. Standing with Tian Ji, outsiders might think that he is Tian Ji's grandfather, or even great-grandfather.

Fusu glanced at the burlap clothes on Tianjia's body, and then at the dozens of mulberry trees around the courtyard, feeling relieved.

For a five-acre house, there are mulberry trees, and fifty people can wear silk clothes...

After all, Old Master Meng is too ideal. The poor people are not willing to wear the raw silk and woven silk cloth by themselves. They need to sell it for money to pay the court's taxes.

After a year of hard work, he even had to borrow money to survive.

Fusu whispered a few words to Li Cheng, Li Cheng was slightly taken aback, then took two steps back and led the people towards the inner gate.

Next to the mulberry wood with withered leaves, the courtyard wall is about six or seven feet high, built of loess, and the outside is newly plastered. The wooden door is low, but it is brand new, with a thick layer of varnish on it.

Obviously, the father-in-law has no idea of ​​expanding the house, and the extra space is going to be planted with mulberry to improve the home environment.

As for the newly painted walls and new doors, it should be that Tian Ji watched the first emperor die. After Fusu succeeded to the throne, she was very fond of her, so she boldly used her own money to support her mother's family.

Led by Tian Jia, Fu Su walked into the front yard.

Suddenly, a big yellow dog ran out from nowhere, and Tian Jia immediately showed Fusu's unexpected agility, and kicked the big yellow dog whining and ran away.

What an extraordinary skill... Fusu opened his mouth slightly, and then waved to a Zhonglang with a sword half out of its sheath, signaling him not to make a fuss.

Fusu glanced at Rhubarb running away whining, and found that although it was similar in appearance to the hounds he raised in the palace, they both belonged to small native Chinese dogs.

But he is covered in short hair, has a strong figure, and looks very energetic.

"Who usually raises this dog?" Fusu asked.

A tall, dark-skinned young man cupped his hands in salute, with a look of fear on his face: "I raised it, and I hope His Majesty will make amends. It came out to greet His Majesty, and it has no intention of hurting Your Majesty."

Tian Wei, the younger brother of Tian Ji's same mother, my brother-in-law...Fu Su laughed, patted Tian Wei on the shoulder, and asked, "The dog is not bad, would you like to go to Shanglinyuan to help me tame hunting dogs?"

Tian Wei glanced at Tian Yun, both of them had ecstatic expressions on their faces, although Fusu didn't say that he would be appointed any official, but there are some things that don't need to be said so clearly.

Jian'er said that since His Majesty returned to Xianyang, she has been uncharacteristically nice to her. I thought it was her just to reassure me, but I didn't expect it to be true. God open my eyes!The Tian family is finally coming to an end... Tian Jia has mixed feelings in his heart, and he doesn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Tian Wei fell to the ground and said loudly: "Yes, I am willing!"

Fusu supported him with one hand: "You are Tian Ji's younger brother, you don't have to!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

This is the minister? ... Fusu felt amused for a while, but seeing Tian Ji's little flattery in the past, he just laughed without saying a word.

He looked around and saw that the inner courtyard of the old man's house was the standard common people's house stipulated by the Shang Jun Law.

The entrance is a kennel, the center is a house, and the corners are mulberry trees, vegetable fields, barns and wells. If there is no accident, there should be a pigsty behind the house.

The overall layout is somewhat similar to the rural self-built houses in the three eastern provinces in later generations.

However, just like what Fusu saw in Kali, there were no chickens, ducks, geese or other poultry in the yard.

It seems that the breeding industry can only be started after the next year's bumper harvest... Fusu pondered for a while, raising a large number of poultry can not only increase the income of the people, but also effectively curb the plague of locusts.

After all, most of the poultry in rural areas are raised outside and rely on eating bugs in the field to supplement their nutrition.

It’s just different from omnivorous pigs and dogs who occasionally rely on food to improve their food. Poultry needs to provide additional grains as an energy source. In addition, the breed is too primitive, and the conversion rate of feed and meat is really impressive. Therefore, people who are struggling on the verge of starvation, It is impossible to raise poultry.

Seeing that Tianjia is so poor, Fusu no longer enters the house. If he sees something that shouldn't be seen, everyone will be embarrassed.
