Chapter 1 The Yuliang Official
In November of the seventh year of Datong, in the afternoon, the north wind was clamoring, and the fishing port on the shore of Pengli Lake was very lively. The busy fishing boats all drifted one after another, bringing back a large number of fishing catches.
This is the southeast edge of Pengli Lake, and is the estuary of the Po River entering the Pengli Lake River, called Pokou.
At the Pokou Wharf, many people were busy sorting and transporting big and small fish. There were many men wearing soap clothes mixed in the crowd.
Soap color is black, soap clothes are black, this is the "uniform" of officials, and the officials on the dock are county officials in Poyang County.
Li Li, who was squatting on the ground, held a sharp knife in his hand, looked up at the "monopoly men" around him, then looked down at the soapy clothes he was wearing, endured the urge to sneeze, and put the killed fish in the wooden basin.
The weather was cold and the water was cold. Li Li kept catching fish from the bucket, his hands were soaked in the water, and gradually became cold by the cold air, and his fingers were a little stiff.
He has been busy for most of the day since he was fishing with the boat in the early morning. He was so tired that his back was sore, but he couldn't rest. He had to kill fish when he got ashore until it was dark.
It's such a busy day, but I don't even have a salary.
I reached into the bucket to catch fish. The water in the bucket was like a mirror, reflecting Li Li's blurry avatar. I saw two horns on my head, which were actually two buns combed.
The general horn is the hairstyle of a minor. Before the men reach the crown and before the women reach the grade, they comb two buns on the top of their heads, just like two corners, which is the "general horn".
However, three days ago, he was still an adult, and when he opened his eyes, everything changed.
A man in soap clothes next to him saw Li Li in a daze and kicked him gently with his feet: "Li Li! Why are you stunned? Do things quickly!"
"Okay..." Li Li agreed and took up a grass carp from the bucket. The grass carp kept struggling, stirring up splashes and sprinkling Li Li's face.
When the cold wind blew, he felt cold on his face, itchy nose, sneezing, and his hands slipped, and the grass carp fell to the ground, constantly flapping, and he had a strong sense of survival.
Nowadays, people call grass carp "snails". Li Li raised his knife, pointed the back of the knife downward, pointed it at the fish head, and smashed it hard.
After the muffled sound, the grass carp stopped struggling, and Li Li put it on the chopping board and quickly killed the fish.
I quickly killed it, threw it into the basin, then looked around, and looked at the wide lake.
‘Pengli Lake is the ancient name of Poyang Lake. Why did I become an ancient?’
He thought so, straightened his waist and looked at the busy crowd around him, but still felt unbelievable.
Three days ago, before the accident happened, he was doing well and had to go on a business trip the next day, but now everything has changed.
He became a fishing official in Poyang County. Because he fell into the water when fishing not long ago, he got up and was infected by the cold wind. His high fever did not subside, and he was about to end.
As a result, "things and people change", the fever subsided.
Li Li was born in an official family who served as an official. He was thirteen years old and was the "general corner". He ranks third in his family and is called "Li Sanlang" according to custom.
The Li family has been fishing for generations. The male members of the officials all fish for the government. They have to pay a fixed amount of fish every month. Sometimes the government will send additional additional fish and specify that they pay a certain number of fish, which is called the "fight of a certain fish".
Because there was a common fishing tool called "Yuliang", the fishing culprit is also called Yuliang official. Of course, the fish culprit is also called this.
As the water is cold today, fish are gathering in deep water areas, so the government organized fishermen to catch large-scale fishing on Pengli Lake, and all the fish and beam officials in Poyang County were dispatched.
Because it is cold, the fish meat is not easy to smell. After the fishing boat enters the port, the fishing officials will also kill live fish, cut them into pieces, seal them into cans to make "fish croakers" for long-term storage.
After Li Li killed a few fish, he began to think about it again.
When others saw him distracted, they whispered: "Are you distracted? Work quickly, Wu Pai Pi is here!"
This sentence made Li Li feel refreshed: the memory of this life has a strong 'stress reaction' to the name "Wu Papi".
He raised his head and found a middle-aged man coming up to this side in front of him. The man was thin, wearing a soapy dress, with a gloomy face, and a few white straights were following him.
The officials along the way saw this passing, and they nodded and bowed quickly as if they were mice seeing a cat.
The middle-aged man's surname is Wu, and he is the official Cao of Poyang County. He is known as "Wu Official Cao". He is in charge of the dispatch of officials and officials, and is the direct superior of the minor officials.
If Wu Li Cao wants to punish people, a word can make a minor official without a backer unable to survive or die.
Because this person likes to criticize minor officials who make mistakes, his catchphrase is "skinned by your skin", he gets the nickname "Wu Pipi".
Wu Licao came to Li Li, looked up and down, and said coldly: "Li Li, are you not dead yet?"
"Go back to the servant, the villain is not dead... the illness is almost cured..." Li Li lowered his head and replied, sucking his nose from time to time. For the servants, the servants are the servants.
He had just recovered from the serious illness and had no rest, so he was about to come out to fish. If he caught a cold or had a fever, he might not be able to get over it.
"Well, just be fine if you haven't died. If you haven't died, continue fishing!"
Wu Li Cao hummed, his tone cold: "Don't forget, there are two days left to pay the blackfish. The fish you handed over before are still much shorter!"
"Return to Shangzuo, the villain understands that the villain will not miss the deadline."
"Just know, remember, each black bird has at least two kilograms, and there is still twelve shortages. None of them can be missing. If you lose it, I will peel your skin!"
Li Li kept nodding and said yes. Wu Li Cao shouted for a while, then turned around and left.
The fishermen around him heard the word "blackfish" and looked at Li Li with sympathy: the water is cold in winter, and the blackfish is hidden in the mud and cannot come out, so it is difficult to catch.
Most fishermen know that catching black birds in winter is very troublesome, similar to catching frogs in winter. They basically rely on luck. They are not lucky and cannot catch a single tail for several days.
So everyone thought this kid was pitiful. If he mistakenly added the sect, he would probably be hung up by Shangguan and whipped it, which would make his skin furious.
Li Li continued to kill fish regardless of other people's eyes or comments.
Blackfish is what later generations said to be black fish, with fierce nature, head like snakes, body like catfish, and tender flesh.
This fish has a habit of hibernation similar to that of hibernation. When the water temperature is low, it hides in the muddy bottom and does not come out to move.
So when it is cold and the water temperature is low, it is very troublesome to catch black birds. A few days ago, he tried his best to catch black birds to complete this extra puppy.
As a result, I was in the cold wind for several days, accidentally fell into the water, got sick, and almost finished.
Now, the deadline is only two days left, and the vacancies are very large. Unless the fortune is encountered, the "Black Bird Battle" will not be completed.
Then he was beaten to pieces by Wu Li Cao.
Li Li watched Wu Licao's back disappear in the crowd, disregarded himself and thought to himself: I have insight, it should be enough to deal with this "Black Bird Battle".
But, what should I do next?
Li Li began to stare blankly again, and saw a struggling little fish in the water in the ruts on the ground, feeling in his heart.
This is the "Dry Rut" thorn. Although it is still alive, the accumulated water in the rut will dry up sooner or later. By then, the little fish will be finished.
According to the Liang State household registration and tax service system, half a dying person aged 16 and 17 are responsible for half a dying person, and half a dying person aged 18 and over, and full tax service.
Regulations are regulations, but they are not the case in actual operation.
Li Li, a minor, died of illness when his elder brother was serving as an official, so even though he was not even half a day, he had to work and complete the service period he owed to his family.
He would be sixteen years old after he had given the official service that his brother owed. At that time, he would have to be a half-member of the Li family and to complete the new round of official service.
After a while, if you still have no money to be exempted from service, then you will continue to die.
In this kind of life, there is no hope at all.
Of course, Li Li didn't plan to accept his fate. He thought about changing his life. It took three days to figure out the "time" and "place" of his era.
Poyang County, where he is located, is located southeast of Pengli Lake and is affiliated to Jiangzhou.
The imperial court had its name "Liang" and its reign was Datong. The country was Jiankang.
The north of Liang State is the "Northern Lie" and the country is called "Wei". This Wei State has had internal conflicts, confrontation between the east and the west.
It has been nearly forty years since the founding of Liang State. The founding emperor is still alive and admires Buddhism very much. It is said that he became a monk and was then "redempted" by his ministers.
Li Li felt that the Liang Kingdom should be the "Liang" of the "Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen" of the Southern and Northern Dynasties. The old emperor who likes to become a monk should be the Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao Yan mentioned in history books.
He had almost forgotten the history and history classes of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, but there was one big event and some impression.
This major incident made Emperor Wu of Liang, Xiao Yan, who worshipped Buddhism, unable to die well, and the Liang State also declined and was replaced by the Chen State.
As he thought about it, Li Li scratched his head and muttered in his heart: So, what is this big thing called?
