Chapter 4 The Traveler Yueshan

At this time, Changsun Wugou was even more happy, he just felt that he had a good eye, and he didn't recognize this younger brother in vain.

"Ashan...is it alright to call you that?" Changsun Wugou first decided on a more affectionate address, Yue Shan would not refute, and nodded repeatedly.

"Ah Shan, thank you for your gift. But this gift is too expensive, my sister can't take it."

"I said I gave it to my sister, how can I take it back. Is my sister going to make me a dishonest person?" Yue Shan said resolutely.

"No, sister didn't mean that. It's just..." Changsun Wugou quickly explained.She wanted to say that if such a precious thing is dedicated to the imperial court, and Li Shimin will help to ask for merit, he will definitely be awarded a noble, and he will be a nobleman by then.

Yue Shan guessed what she was going to say, and interrupted: "Sister, don't worry, I don't just have a horseshoe in my mind. Now I am too young to take it out. When I grow older, I can take it out at any time." Better things in exchange for glory and wealth."

"This..." Changsun Wugou obviously didn't believe it, but seeing Yue Shan's firm attitude, he didn't know what to say for a while.

She didn't speak, but Li Shimin had something to say: "You said you know other things? You're not lying, are you?"

"Whether you lied to King Qin or not? Wait and see. You will know in the future." Yue Shan gave him a nail that was neither soft nor hard, and then said to the eldest grandson Wugou in a respectful and intimate tone: "Even if I achieve nothing in the future, don't I still have to pay for it?" Is there a sister here? With Concubine Qin as her sister, do you still worry about not having glory and wealth in the future?"

"You..." Changsun Wugou stretched out his finger and tapped his forehead lightly, with a third more intimacy in his tone.

Being able to say flattery so naturally, not only does not make people disgusted, but also makes people feel happy. This younger brother is really a fine person.Changsun Wugou had already seen it through, but she was still very happy.

Better smart than stupid, she thought.

It can only be said that no matter how smart a woman is, once she gets emotional, her IQ will be negative.

Looking at this shameless boy, Li Shimin felt his palms itch, and the itching could only be relieved by intimate contact with a thick and hideous face.But he must not dare to do this in front of his wife, so he simply shifted his mind to how to maximize the benefits of the horseshoe.

The eldest grandson Wugou and Yue Shan, a pair of freshly baked siblings, were talking intimately at the side.

The main reason is that the eldest grandson Wugou inquired about his family's situation in detail, expressed his distress for his family's difficult life by the way, and encouraged him to study hard and get a good job in the future.

It wasn't until the servant repeatedly reminded that it was getting late and the city gate would be closed if they didn't go back, that the siblings reluctantly bid farewell.

Before leaving, Li Shimin asked one last question: "Boy, how did you know my identity?"

"In this world, people who cherish and respect their wives so much, I can't think of anyone else except King Qin." Yue Shan replied.

This answer made the eldest grandson Wugou smile, and then looked at Li Shimin happily.

Li Shimin was stunned and turned his head to take a deep look at Yue Shan.

He has thought about countless possibilities, the moderate ones are "I have seen you before" and the like, and the flattering ones can be said "so heroic and extraordinary, it must be the King of Qin".He never thought of using respect for his wife as an excuse.

But when I think about it carefully, I feel that this reason is actually the most suitable for this situation.Just one answer made Li Shimin see the extraordinary wisdom of this young man.

After sending Li Shimin and his wife away with a "huh", Yue Shan let out a long breath and relaxed his tense nerves.

It would be a lie to say that you are not afraid, the other party is one of the most powerful people in the world, and a single sentence can determine his life or death.But fortunately, he resisted the pressure and got the best result after some planning.

Yes, Yue Shan is a time traveler.In his previous life, he was a high school history teacher. He didn't know how he transmigrated to a young man in the Wude period of the early Tang Dynasty.

Fortunately for him, the time node he traveled through was not bad.In the six years of Wude, Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong and other forces capable of fighting for hegemony have been eliminated one after another, and the era of war is coming to an end.

The young Yue Shan lived in Longxi, and his family was relocated outside Chang'an by a government order.The young man died young due to disobedience, and was possessed by a soul from the future.

The population loss in Chang'an was serious due to years of wars. Li Tang moved households from various places to fill the population several times at the beginning of his establishment.Most of the relocated people were wealthy households, but there were also some civilians from Longxi like Yue Shan's family.

Longxi is Li Tang's prosperous land, and the Li family has always claimed to be from the nobles of Longxi.The people here are the most loyal to the Li family, and also deeply trusted by the Li family.

Otherwise, given the conditions of the Yue Shan family, it is unlikely that they would be relocated to Kyoto.

Yue Shan's family was placed at the foot of Longshou Mountain, ten miles north of Chang'an County.This Longshou Mountain is not the Longshou Mountain of Tieling in later generations. Tieling in Tang Dynasty was still a barren land.

This Longshou Mountain is very small, only more than sixty miles long, but it enters the Weishui River at the end and reaches Fanchuan at the end. The land is fertile and convenient, so it can be called a treasure land.

At the same time, villagers with the three surnames of Feng, Chen, and Yang were resettled here. Counting the surname of Yue, there are a total of four surnames, so this village is called Sixingping.

Yue Shan's family was very poor. They were tenants of the landlord's family in Longxi, and they were allocated 140 mu of land to become self-cultivators when they moved to Chang'an.

"At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, people were given the land of the mouth and the world, and the methods of rent, mediocrity, and adjustment were used to obtain it, and they were used in a disciplined way." This is the record in the history books about the grant of land in the early Tang Dynasty.

As long as the man grows up, he can get one hundred mu of land.Among them, [-] mu is the sub-divided land, which will be returned to the state after death, and [-] mu is the permanent land that can be passed down from generation to generation.Women only have [-] mu of land to share.

Of the four members of Yue Shan's family, only the parents were allocated fields.Yue Shan was only ten years old, and his younger sister was only six years old, so he was not eligible for land allocation, so a total of 140 mu of land was allocated.Among them, [-] mu is fertile land by the stream, and [-] mu is mountainous land.

After obtaining the land, everyone is naturally grateful to the imperial court and full of longing for the future.But the future is always the future. At present, the land has not been cultivated, and everyone can only live on the relief of the court.It would be nice to eat relief food without starving to death, but it is purely extravagant to want to eat well.

If you can't eat enough, you have to work, otherwise the land will always be barren and never grow crops.The four surnames Ping, regardless of gender, age or age, as long as they can move, they all go to the ground. Even Yueshan's six-year-old sister has to help pull weeds and pick up rocks.

There is only one exception, and that is Yue Shan.In this era, sons are preferred over daughters, he is the only child in his family, so he is naturally doted on by his parents.

When he was in good health, he was reluctant to let him work, not to mention he almost died because of acclimatization.

It's just that Yue Shan himself doesn't want to be a rice bug, and he is not allowed to do so in this era when he can't get enough of gruel.

After being raised at home for more than two months, he started to act after his body finally returned to normal.
