Extraordinary daily life starting from evil spirits

"Taoist Wujiao... I don't know if you have heard of it?!"

"By the way, he's not my master, although he did teach me a lot. But he doesn't accept apprentices, so I usually call him old man..." Zhi Yuan made a helpless expression, which made Pei Yuanshao slightly taken aback.

Of course... Taoist XX, this shows that this woman's master is not simple.Pei Yuanshao memorized the name, and planned to ask about it when he saw General Tiangong in the future.

At this time, Zhiyuan started to draw the spells again, after all, she agreed to it, so Zhi Yuan planned to finish drawing these spells before Pei Yuanshao made a decision.

Pei Yuanshao naturally saw this too. He sighed and said to Zhiyuan, "Okay...I promise you, but after General Tiangong's incident, I must return to Taiping Road..."

Zhiyuan agreed, and then asked, "Are you literate?"

Pei Yuanshao shook his head.

"Okay, then I'll teach you... To be my follower, you must be able to read and write." Zhi Yuan smiled, and to be honest, she felt that she could try to train a subordinate.

Since I have come to this troubled world, I should try to change it.But since he changed, he should have some real subordinates.

Although it seems that a small passer-by is not so easy to handle, let alone those famous generals in history.

Then there was the location where he planned to go. What Pei Yuanshao meant was that he planned to let Zhiyuan go to Julu.He said that it is more prosperous there, and it is the closest to here.

Zhiyuan shook her head: "I want to visit Luoyang."

"Aren't you really going to sue the officials..." Pei Yuanshao was speechless.Originally, he meant to take Zhiyuan to Julu, because General Tiangong was there.

But obviously, this woman seemed to know what she was thinking, and instead planned to go to Luoyang.

Zhiyuan said to Pei Yuanshao: "Let's just walk there slowly, and take a look at the scenery on the journey. If I go to sue the officials, why do I take you with me?"

"As for the Julu, after we finish our work in Luoyang, we will go over and have a look...and meet your General Tiangong by the way."

Zhi Yuan said everything for this sake, and Pei Yuanshao had nothing to say.Then Zhiyuan gave Pei Yuanshao more than 50 spells, all of which could increase physical fitness and fight diseases.

"These spells, help me change some travel expenses. As a woman, I have more expenses to go out. After you get the money, help me carry it..."

Pei Yuanshao's face twitched, and he said goodbye to the kite.Now that he has agreed to others, then naturally he has to go to the end.

When Pei Yuanshao walked to the door, Zhiyuan's words pierced into his ears again. "Tell the guy over here to get me a bucket of hot bath water."

"Hey?"

"Hey……"

Pei Yuanshao went down.

Pei Yuanshao handed over the matter of promoting Taipingdao near Peijiazhuang to his subordinates.

Several people wanted to follow along, but Pei Yuanshao vetoed it.Because he was not sure what the girl meant, and the two of them dared to go to Luoyang, Pei Yuanshao really felt that he might not be able to come back alive.

You must bring some money. Generally speaking, rangers like them are local gangsters.There is not much money, but a lot has been accumulated.

When Pei Yuanshao came to look for the kite the next day, he carried a heavy package containing thousands of dollars... a few taels of scattered silver and some broken copper...

Copper is also gold, because according to the records of Hanshu·Shihuozhi.There are three grades of gold: gold is the top, platinum is the middle, and red gold is the bottom.The corresponding is gold, silver, copper, these three.The five baht coin is made of copper and lead, so it is not impossible for many civilians to trade directly with copper.

Generally speaking, including the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, in ancient books, if gold is said, most of it refers to brass.Unless you specifically refer to gold, that is real gold.After all, during the Han Dynasty, gold was considered a royal use, and it was impossible for merchants to trade with this kind of thing.

And there wasn't that much gold at that time. Generally speaking, a few hundred taels of gold was given, and this gold basically refers to brass.Of course, my understanding may be copper, that is, pure copper.

The two of them started to walk westward, and the nearest city to them was Fengqiu, which was a place in Henan Province in later generations.Then continue to the west, and you can reach Luoyang.

In fact, Zhiyuan wanted to get a horse, but Pei Yuanshao said to Zhiyuan, "The price of a horse is about [-] yuan, we simply can't afford it."

At this time, even in Longxi, where the horses are produced, the price of a horse is about [-] to [-], not to mention the Central Plains area. Basically, horses are absolutely sky-high for ordinary people.

Zhiyuan covered her face, she couldn't afford a car before crossing, and she couldn't afford a horse in this world.What if you can't afford a horse? Let's go on the 11th road... Zhiyuan really doesn't like the ancient world more and more.

Chapter 7: The Beginning of Chaos

Three days after Zhiyuan and Pei Yuanshao left, Zhiyuan looked at a girl covered in loess. Her mother had died not far away, she died of starvation...

There are quite a few victims nearby. It is said that the river not far away broke through three months ago. Although the flood has receded, there is no food.

The scope of the breach is not large, so the Peijiazhuang in front of Zhiyuan has little influence.But walking towards Luoyang, there are many victims of the disaster.

Zhiyuan picked up the little girl and sighed: "How much food do we have?"

Pei Yuanshao made a helpless expression: "Not much... Except on the first day, you wasted a lot of food to make those food. For the rest of the days, you distributed the food..."

"Girl, it's very dangerous for you to do this. We carry weapons now, and most people dare not provoke us. But you always give food to others like this, and sooner or later people will miss you."

Zhiyuan nodded: "I know, I just can't see other people suffering." A modern person, seeing the flood victims, naturally feels uncomfortable in his heart.

"Forget it... this little girl, I've adopted it... I really have nothing to do with the others."

Zhiyuan sighed, and suddenly saw a few people from Taiping Road not far away, distributing some dry biscuits.

But there were not many cakes, and they were quickly robbed.For these victims, this is just a drop in the bucket.

"No wonder Taipingdao responded with overwhelming response during the rebellion next year. It's all about death...it's better to have a full meal before death." Zhiyuan thought to herself, and then saw something that made her feel even more unacceptable.

That was a few people gathered together, cooking some dead bodies with a cauldron, and there was a faint smell of meat in the air.Zhiyuan felt sour in her stomach and retched a few times.

"Is there no relief from the imperial court?" Zhi Yuan asked again.

Pei Yuanshao smiled: "Girl, you are joking, don't talk about disaster relief, you have to pay a lot of taxes. Those people are high above, how many people will really understand the suffering of the people?"

Zhiyuan nodded and said nothing more.But at this time, a team suddenly ran over not far away. This team had a large number of people, with more than ten horses and more than 20 servants.

In one of the large carriages, there was an eight or nine-year-old boy inside.It seems to be a young master, and there is a very shrewd butler in front of the young master.

A man came to the front of a group of refugees, and he said to the refugees: "Accept boys and girls aged 4 to 12, five hundred dollars for boys and three hundred dollars for girls. Is there any for sale?"

To be honest... food is really not cheap now, especially these refugees have no money for a long time.The Yellow River bursts basically once a year. For the nearby families, this is not news at all.

So these families go here directly to buy some people, servants or servants... The price is basically four or five hundred yuan. If it is used to buy food, it will be enough for a period of time.

Hmm...provided no one collects taxes and is not robbed by other refugees.

The tax rate in the Han Dynasty was not high, but local officials and gentry had to collect exorbitant taxes.If you can't pay the money, the land will naturally be annexed... Basically, the famous merchant families in the late Han Dynasty have a lot of people and land.

Let me talk about the simplest chestnut... When Liu Bei was chasing and running around in the Three Kingdoms, after Xiapi was breached... Mi Zhu's casual investment in Liu Bei at that time gave him two thousand soldiers.

There are not only soldiers, but also horses... and Mizhu's family fortune is nothing more than a drop in the bucket.A big family gave Liu Bei two thousand soldiers and horses casually...there are many powerful families in the entire Three Kingdoms, and this kind of natural disaster is a good time for them to annex the population.

Of course... the people who can buy people here are just some small aristocratic families.The big aristocratic families always follow the official method, so they will not come to buy slaves in person.

But at least... it can keep some people alive.Immediately, a group of people sold their sons and daughters. After all, they might starve to death with themselves, and they might still have a chance to survive if they were bought by a rich family.

It's impossible for Zhiyuan to take care of this kind of thing, she plans to continue to Luoyang with Pei Yuanshao.

Danger is always approaching inadvertently. Just when the two of them were about to leave, there was a sudden sound of scattered horseshoes not far away.

Zhi Yuan's expression changed, and she immediately said to Pei Yuanshao, "Quick... let's go to the room over there..."

After speaking, regardless of Pei Yuanshao's objection, he grabbed his hand and ran to an abandoned house not far away.Holding the girl in front with one hand, and pulling Pei Yuanshao with the other.

"What's wrong?!" Pei Yuanshao blushed slightly, obviously unnatural.

After the two entered the house, Zhiyuan closed the door directly, and then quietly looked outside from the window.The girl was put in a corner and silenced.

There are only some rags left on the windows, which basically have no blocking effect.So Zhiyuan was very careful, and took off the two swords on her waist, ready to fight.

Although Pei Yuanshao didn't know what happened, but seeing Zhi Yuan's movement, he also drew his sword and prepared.After all, Zhiyuan's ability is much higher than his, and if she can't find anything, it doesn't mean that Zhiyuan can't find it.

After about half a minute, Pei Yuanshao felt the sound of horses running in the distance.Only then did he realize that the gap between the two was too great.

The refugees, on the other hand, faced the horse riders numbly.Because even if they are robbers, they don't have any oil on them.

But some people are afraid that it is not, such as the people from the big family who bought some slaves earlier.After all, this group of people on horseback seemed to be rushing towards them.

Since the young boy couldn't run fast in the car, and most of the followers were buying slaves, they didn't notice the enemy at all.By the time they reacted, they were already surrounded.

The child had been frightened a long time ago, but the housekeeper was quite calm.He cupped his hands to those who surrounded them: "I don't know if you have any advice for our Zheng family in Xingyang?"

One of the leaders curled his lips: "A big family...that's right...We are looking for people from your big family."

"We are from Shuangfeng Mountain not far from here, and we don't have enough food now. Since you belong to a big family, please lend us some food."

The butler heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this.He nodded to the gangsters: "In this way... food is not a problem, how about giving you five hundred shi?"

A group of bandits are obviously a little happy, these big families just have something to eat.Of course, they were also afraid that these people would write empty promises, so they said to the butler, "Then it's settled, let this little... young master come to visit us for a few days."

"When the food arrives...we'll let them go." After speaking, the man waved his hand, and then a group of people were about to swarm up.

After all, only by controlling these local tyrants can they get food.

Chapter 8: Marry you as the main wife

The butler was taken aback. To be honest, what he said earlier was indeed a plan to delay the attack.

They are indeed a family, but only a branch of the family.Belonging to the descendants of Zheng Zhong, a great Confucian in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the seven or eight-year-old boy is Zheng De, the son of Zheng Hun.

Some chaos in the world appeared, Zheng Hun planned to send this youngest son to Zheng Tai, the official minister and servant in Luoyang, that is, his younger brother, to take care of him.Because this child is relatively young, he can also go to Luoyang to find a teacher to do math well.

But after all, it is considered a family, so it is natural to buy some servants.Otherwise, after going to Luoyang, this young master will have to be taken care of, right?

But getting them to come up with hundreds of shi of grain is really difficult.Because the Zheng family has declined somewhat, especially if it is still a branch, it is even more difficult to get along.

But now that there are many families, what can we do if we don't compromise.The butler's face was covered with sweat, seeing a group of servants being subdued by the opposite side, the difference in numbers between the two sides was too great, and they had no power to fight back.

Those gangsters didn't expect it to be so smooth. In fact, they came out to rob business travelers, but there are some small families, and they don't care about being a kidnapper.

Even if there is someone from the government or aristocratic family to clear it up in the future, that will be a matter of the future.If you don't rob now, you will starve to death. Who cares about how you will die in the future.

Soon...the Zheng family members were disarmed, and the horses and the carriage were also controlled.Among them, there were indeed a few people who wanted to resist, but there were a lot of bandits, and although they didn't kill anyone, they beat those families with bruised noses and bruised faces.

There can be hundreds of thousands of money on the carriage, and there are almost a hundred taels of silver.Not too much but not too little... At least those bandits are quite satisfied.

And a group of bandits ate up all the food brought by the team.Some pie and butcher shops, a group of people were very hungry and very happy to eat.

After eating... many bandits began to look for some women in the crowd.After all, keeping warm and thinking about lust, after life is guaranteed, then it is natural to start having fun.

Many girls were arrested, including a pitiful little girl from the Zheng family in front.

Many bandits directly took off the clothes of those women, and they forcibly had sex in broad daylight.

Of course, the best one must be reserved for the person who takes the lead, and the best one is the maid of the Zheng family.

So amidst the screams, this maid, who seemed to be about ten years old, was hugged.

Of course, he is the leader of the bandit after all, so it is impossible to take off his pants in public, isn't he, this person is a bit polite... At least he plans to choose a comfortable place.

So the bandit leader hugged the crying girl and walked directly to Zhi Yuan's house.After all, this place is just such a broken house, so it is convenient to do some things.

Zhiyuan smiled slightly: "We are lucky to have a horse to ride..."

"No way, you dare to go up with so many people?" Pei Yuanshao felt a little dangerous.

Zhi Yuan pointed to the bandit leader: "In the front, that man beat several servants a few times, and was kicked by someone. Do you think you can beat him?"

Pei Yuanshao nodded: "I'm sure he can beat him, that person is too weak."

Zhi Yuan chuckled: "That's right, you are not afraid of each other, they are weak to a certain extent. In my opinion, they are nothing more than chickens and dogs... You will stay here for a while and protect these children."

After finishing speaking, Zhiyuan came to the door and waited for the bandit leader to come in.Suddenly she thought of something, and smiled at Pei Yuanshao: "I said I would give you the swordsmanship, but the swordsmanship needs to be coordinated with the mind."

"Since that's the case... you should memorize some moves first. I learned the Yuenu Sword... There are 36 moves for each of the left and right hands."

"Although it is a swordsmanship used by women, the 36 moves on the right hand can be opened and closed, so it won't be awkward for men to use it."

"Your body is quite delicate, no matter how you look at it, you don't have the scary figure of some generals, so it won't be strange for you to use this set of swordsmanship."

After Zhi Yuan finished speaking, Pei Yuanshao's face turned dark.The little girl simply said that she looks like a woman.

But Pei Yuanshao didn't have the resources to refute, because this girl was much better than him.So let's just see what this girl is capable of dealing with fifty or sixty bandits outside.

Just as the bandit leader opened the door, he put the little girl from the Zheng family in front on his shoulders.The maids of the rich family are clean, and their skin is much better than those of the old farmers' women, so the bandit's heart is naturally hot, and he needs to be released immediately.

But just after the bandit opened the door, a white light suddenly flashed.Then he felt his head fly up.At the last moment in his memory, he seemed to see a woman in a white skirt.

"Is it a fairy..."

Pei Yuanshao could see clearly that just as the bandit leader opened the door, Zhi Yuan cut off the other's head with his left-handed sword.

Then he hugged the little girl on the man's shoulder with his right hand, and finally kicked his body away with his feet.It wasn't until this time that the blood in the bandit leader's neck cavity sprayed out.

The people outside suddenly panicked. After all, the leader was killed and his head flew out.

A few people who were not afraid of death rushed towards Zhiyuan, and then Zhiyuan's right hand moved.Without any fanciness, a sword cut a man in half together with the weapon in his hand.
