subvert the late Tang Dynasty

After that, Zhu Wen went to work in the fields as usual every day. Zhu Cun and Zhu Zhen were still their hunters. He was not inferior to that ancient famous general Zhu Zhen.

Zhu Wen really wondered if he only had a soul that traveled through time, because he felt that his height was much taller than he was in modern times. He was only 1.7 meters six in modern times, but now he is 1.8 meters five. The odds of being tall are almost zero.

But what makes him feel lucky is that his appearance and facial features are exactly the same as when he was in modern times, except that his skin is slightly darker and has become that healthy bronze color, and his physique seems to be stronger than in modern times.

Zhu Wen went to see Liu's mother every now and then. Of course, they couldn't avoid talking about modern things when they were together. Of course, Liu Chong and his wife had to avoid it.

As a result, Liu Chong and his wife became even more suspicious of something tricky between the two of them, and couldn't help but feel a little worried, but as sons of man, it was hard to say anything.The couple often secretly discussed together how to stop this "immoral" thing.

Liu Chong's daughter-in-law said: "What do you think should be done?"

Liu Chong said with a bitter face: "What do you want me to say? Don't say that we are still not sure whether it is true, even if it is true, it is hard to say? What would you say if this matter was left on your mother? "

Liu's wife grabbed Liu Chong's collar and said angrily, "What does your mother have to do with my mother stealing a man? Do you talk like that?"

Liu Chong put his head in his hands and said, "Hehe, I'm just talking casually. If you don't like to hear me, why don't you just stop talking... Oops... Why do you always pinch people?"

The two of them kept a straight face, neither of them spoke, silently thinking about the solution to the matter.

Liu's wife suddenly said: "Why don't we give some money and let Zhu Laosan go to a certain job in the city to make a living. The two of them don't see each other very often, and naturally they will forget it after a long time."

Liu Chongdao: "Do you still want us to pay him money?"

Liu's wife said angrily: "Look at your prospects! You can't even bear such a small amount of money. If your mother gives birth to a son and a half with him, will you be a cheap son?"

Liu Chong was ruthless, and said: "Success, I will do as you said. I will give him ten taels of silver as the capital, and tell him not to come back if he can't make money."

After the two discussed the solution, Liu Chong immediately went to find Zhu Wen.

When Zhu Wen heard that there was such a good thing, of course he was willing.Who wants to farm in this poor valley?This is not impossible.Zhu Wen collected the money and called the whole family to him, which was a small family meeting.

Mrs. Wang wondered, "What kind of a living can I get when I enter the city? In the city, you are not familiar with the place, so you can make a name for yourself. It's better to farm the land honestly at home. Next year, let Matchmaker Wang tell you about marriage..."

Zhu Wen interrupted his mother and said: "Mom, don't worry, since you have the capital, you will be able to make a career out of it. My fate is good, I will come to pick you up when I earn money..."

Although he came to this era not long ago, he could see that Wang's affection for his three sons was very deep, and he was especially kind to Zhu Wen.This made Zhu Wen, the copycat version of him, feel very sorry, as if he had cheated a kind and kind old man.

Zhu Cun also said: "That is, what can be done in this poor place, a man should...should...oh, by the way, third brother, what are you going to do in the city to make a living?" He originally wanted to say something bold, but who knows It should have been a long time and I didn't know how to say it, so I had to change my words halfway.

Zhu Wen said in his heart, of course I am best at being a chef. If I can open a restaurant, with my ability, the business should be good.Said: "I thought of opening a small restaurant in the city, it should be much better than farming."

Zhu Zhen said: "That's a good idea. These days, I eat the food made by my third brother every day. The taste is nothing to say. The business of opening a restaurant will definitely be booming." It's like reminiscing about that delicious meal.

It was agreed that Zhu Wen would set off for Songcheng (now Shangqiu, Henan) in two days, and of course Zhu Cun and Zhu Zhen would follow to see the world.The temperament of these two people has long wanted to go out for a while, but they are too shy, so how can they miss the opportunity at this time?

As the eldest brother, Zhu Yu couldn't avoid telling him not to cause trouble when he was out, etc. He also said that his mother would naturally be taken care of by him at home, so Zhu Wen should not worry.

Mrs. Wang didn't say anything, just said: "It's okay to make a breakthrough, if it doesn't work, come back, if you make a name for yourself or not, this is your home."

This sentence moved Zhu Wen to tears, alas, what a good mother, although my son is fake, but if one day I really make a name for myself in this world, I will definitely serve her well and let her Live a happy life.At this moment, I thought of my mother, wife and children who were still in the world more than 1000 years later, and the tears couldn't be controlled.

Seeing her son crying so sadly, Mrs. Wang thought her son was reluctant to part with her, so she couldn't help but also shed tears.Turning his head to wipe his tears, he happened to see Zhu Cun's excited face, and thought to himself: "The third child is still filial, seeing the virtue of the second child, I don't know when he will be sensible..."

Before leaving, it was necessary to bid farewell to Liu's mother, and Liu's mother also gave a good advice.

Although it's already the beginning of autumn, the sun is still hot in the sky, and even the trees on both sides of the official road are a little listless.A gust of autumn wind blew by, layers of hot waves wrapped in layers of dust raised from the official road and danced wantonly in the air.Zhu Zhen wiped the dust and sweat off her face with her sleeve, and muttered, "It's so hot, third brother, isn't Song City coming soon? We've been walking for three days."

Zhu Wen said: "It should be almost here. Didn't the person who asked earlier said that it was only sixty miles away? Now there should be forty miles left. If you persist, you will be there."

Xindao, if you go by car, you will arrive in more than two hours. Alas, that's good. I took the No. [-] bus, and I still haven't arrived after three days of walking.Technology changes life, I finally understand the meaning of this sentence.

"It can't be done, let's go to the front woods to rest for a while." Zhu Cun couldn't stand it any longer.

Zhu Wen said: "Okay, you can go to the front and rest, if you don't reach Songcheng after dark, you can rest on the road, there are a lot of bandits outside the city now."

Zhu Cun said with a smile: "I don't care about your second brother, three or five bandits."

Zhu Wen said, "What if there are dozens of them?"

"...Then let's go quickly." Of course Zhu Cun is not a fool. If dozens of bandits really want to come, the three of us can't deal with them. What's more, my bow and arrows don't have iron arrows at all. They are pure wood and shoot a hare. The pheasant is nothing, if you really meet a robber, you can only use the stick in your hand, but everyone has real ones, so what's the use of a stick.

But Zhu Zhen said proudly: "If you give me a weapon that is convenient for me, and a horse, what are dozens of bandits? There are thousands of troops and horses, and our buddies will break through anyway." Stick, shook his head.

At this time, Song City was not far away, and the road was sparsely populated with various pedestrians.Not far from them, a peasant woman carrying a basket inadvertently paused in her footsteps, which could not have been noticed without paying attention.

That woman is tall, yes, tall rather than tall, with a thick waist and strong legs, which should be caused by the fatigue of farming all year round.The facial features are not ugly, but the face is dark and covered with freckles, like a layer of fly droppings on moldy steamed buns, making people not want to take a second look after the first glance.

Zhu Wen inadvertently glanced at the woman, just in time to see the light in the woman's eyes flicker and disappear, and then became gloomy again.Zhu Wen was a little strange, could it be my eyesight?He couldn't help but look at the woman a few more times.

Zhu Zhen noticed Zhu Wen's "dishonest" gaze, and said with a smile: "Third brother is not young, right? When we earn money, one of us will ask for a house and wife first, so as to save you from glancing at other people's daughter-in-law?"

Zhu Wen shot a chestnut on Zhu Zhen's head, and said angrily: "Let you chew your tongue!"

Zhu Zhen was not angry either, and said with a smile, "I'm just joking with you. What about you? I'm still young. I'm so stupid that I can't get a wife. I'm going to ask you."

The three of them frolicked all the way to Song City, the tall city walls, the majestic towers, the suspension bridges on the wide moat, the thick gates, and the guards on both sides of the gates... All of this still makes Zhu Wen felt like he was dreaming, and after a long time said with emotion: "It's much more real than what I saw in the movies."

Zhu Zhen wondered: "It's more real than what? What shadow?"

Zhu Wen said awkwardly: "It's nothing, I've never seen such a magnificent city tower, I'm a little excited, hehe, excited." He hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead.

At the end of Tang Dynasty, Songcheng also belonged to Dacheng and was the seat of Songzhou.Songzhou, Bianzhou (Kaifeng, Henan), Yingzhou (Fuyang, Anhui), and Bozhou (Bozhou, Anhui) belong to the Xuanwu Army.The original name of Songzhou was Suiyang, and it was set up as a county in the Sui Dynasty and changed to Songcheng, and then Liangjun.In the fourth year of Tang Wude, it was changed to Songzhou, in the first year of Tianbao, it was changed to Suiyang County, and in the first year of Qianyuan, it was changed to Songzhou.Regardless of whether it is Liangjun or Songzhou, the government is in Songcheng.

Song City has a long history, and Shangtang established its capital here; Zhou Feng Weizi was established in Song Dynasty, and Song State established its capital here; Song Xianggong ruled here in Spring and Autumn Period, and Mozi and Zhuangzi were born here; Zhou Feng was the Jiedu envoy of the Guide Army, and the government was also in Songcheng, which was the birth of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, after the Song Dynasty, Songzhou was promoted to Yingtianfu, and Songcheng was changed to Nanjing, becoming the accompanying capital of the Northern Song Dynasty; after the "Jingkang Change", King Kang Zhao Gou ascended the throne here and established the Southern Song Dynasty.

These are enough to prove the importance of Songcheng in ancient times, and its prosperity will not be lower than that of Chang'an and Luoyang, Zhu Wen thought.

But when he really entered the city, Zhu Wen really saw the big city in ancient times.The street is not wide, and there are many shops on both sides of the street, including restaurants, restaurants, cloth shops, pawnshops, medicine shops, etc., and occasionally there are a few peddlers hawking along the street. Items are sold on the street.

Zhu Wen said in his heart, if he could go back to modern times, he would definitely give advice to those film and television directors, there is no truth at all.Oh, but if people want to ask me how I know, I can't say that I just came back from the end of the Tang Dynasty. Seeing that the place is not like the one you took, I guess people must think that I am someone who escaped from some mental hospital.

The three of Zhu and Wen searched for vacant rooms along the street, looking for a place suitable for opening a restaurant, but they couldn't find a vacant room after searching several streets.The three of them couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. In order to open a restaurant, Zhu Wen brought the pot from Liu Chong's house with him, and the total was only ten taels of silver. How can he open a restaurant if it costs five taels to buy a pot?

The sky gradually darkened, without the scorching sun, the autumn wind felt a little cool on the face, and the air was much fresher.Although there are no such things as computers, air conditioners, and cars, the freshness of the air is absolutely incomparable in the modern industrial age, Zhu Wen thought to himself comfortingly.

The development of modern science and technology has brought mankind into the era of large-scale industry, creating countless miracles that the ancients could not imagine, but it has inevitably brought great pollution and damage to the natural environment.Perhaps this is what people often say that every gain must be lost, Zhu Wen thought to himself.

He looked up at the brilliant starry sky, the starry sky was really beautiful, unlike modern times, when he looked up, he could only see a few dim little stars hanging in the misty sky, even the moon was surrounded by a layer of mist halo.

If only there was a digital camera that could take pictures of this clear and clean sky, it would definitely shock people all over the world, and it could also take this opportunity to appeal to the world to protect the environment and reject pollution.But can I go back?Zhu Wen shook his head, telling himself not to think wildly, the most important thing is to live a good life here.Why do you think so much when you can't even eat?I have become an ancient person, so why bother with that kind of heart.

The streets at night are brightly lit, and they are no less deserted than during the day. On the contrary, there are more vendors on the street, mostly snacks.Chaos, dumplings, mutton soup, steamed stuffed buns, pastries of various colors, seasonal fruits... There are all kinds of things, everything you expect to find.

Zhu Wen was overjoyed, and clapped his hands and said: "So there is a night market here, come on, let's not look for a store, can't we just set up a stall in the night market?"

That night, the three of them found the cheapest inn to stay in for one night, and slept in a Datong shop. The three of them spent six Wen.The next day when I went to check out at the counter, Zhu Wen took out a tael of silver and gave it to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper rolled his eyes and muttered, "Stinger, sleep with a tael of silver at Datong shop..."

Zhu Wen took the found change—94 copper coins, and threaded it into a ring shape with a rope. Only then did he know why the ancient people’s money was counted by "guan", and a thousand copper coins were threaded into a ring. A circle is consistent.Zhu Wen weighed it with his hands, and it was quite heavy, thinking, can you sell copper for a lot of money, right?

The three of them rented a dilapidated small courtyard in an alley. No one lived in it for a long time, but the house was still solid. It was idle anyway, so they were charged [-] Wen, which was regarded as a year's rent.The three of them cleaned it up, went to the street to buy some necessary supplies, and bought a few old tables and benches. They even had someone make a stove that could be picked up with picks, and of course the ladles, bowls and chopsticks were indispensable.

After everything is ready, they plan to open the night market tomorrow. Zhu Cun and Zhu Zhen are also very nervous. After all, this is their first time in the city.

Zhu Wen looked at Zhu Zhen, who was sweating profusely because of Zhang Luo's food stalls, and couldn't help but feel a little funny. He was originally destined to be a great general, but he was dragged by me to be a handyman for a food stall for no reason. The work of cleaning the table after washing is also inevitable.I don't know if Zhu Zhen will fight with me after knowing the truth?

But that's fine too. "Old History of the Five Dynasties" and "New History of the Five Dynasties" both record Zhu Zhen's meritorious service, and often took his family with him privately when traveling abroad. Zhu Wen suspected that he had rebellious intentions, and secretly dispatched Zhu Zhen's heroic general Li Tangbin to monitor Zhu Zhen.Later, when Zhu and Li disagreed, Zhu Zhen killed the general Li Tangbin because of a trivial matter, and accused Li Tangbin of treason to Zhu Wen.Later, Jing Xiang, Zhu Wen's counselor, made a plan to capture him, and Zhu Wen ignored the crowd and ordered Zhu Zhen to be hanged to death.

Although he can't be a great general, he may be able to avoid the disaster of killing himself, which can be regarded as a kind of compensation.Zhu Wen wondered if I just started a small business here, would I live my whole life in a mediocre manner?Not necessarily, now that the army is in turmoil, maybe one day this place will be captured by some warlord, and the peaceful scene in front of me will disappear, and it will be replaced by ruins and corpses... What will happen to me then?

He shook his head, forcing himself not to think about the future, the most important thing is to have enough food in front of him.There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, so let's talk about the future.

In the evening, the three of them arrived at the night market early, took up a place next to a shop selling steamed buns, set up the tables and stools, set up the fire, and were ready to start work.

Fortunately, Zhu Wen also practiced brush calligraphy for a few days when the army was free. He bought a brush, ink, paper and inkstone for keeping accounts, and wrote a simple signboard "special snacks" on red paper, and pasted it on an old wooden board.Zhu Wen put on a simple apron made by himself, holding a wooden spoon in his left hand (who can afford it these days),
