Chapter 1 Human Road
Humanity is the power of gods and immortals, and saves all living beings.
But I don’t know that gods and immortals are also troubled. You are waiting for sentient beings in the mortal world. You require high officials and generous salaries, you require wealth and prosperity, and you still have to be the emperor.
Who is going to be a little mortal?
Therefore, the gods burned incense and prayed for all kinds of blessings and longevity when facing the people, so they could only turn a blind eye to the things outside the window, return to their original positions, and no one would bless them.
I don’t know that the gods and immortals are sad, but I still do my own things.
On the 18th day of the first lunar month, Tianyun Kingdom, Liangzhou, Hangshan Prefecture, and Chengyang County.
It is rumored that the 18th day of the first lunar month is the birth of the Shinto Birthday. Good men and women traveled one after another, praying to increase my life span, everyone will live a hundred years, and everyone will be free from illness or disaster.
There were too many pedestrians and the road was crowded. The business was too good. The boss who sold incense laughed and counted the money and cramped his hands.
Everyone thought that worshiping gods and having a life span increased for a few years, and they were all happy.
No one in this city is unhappy, no one is unhappy.
"If this is really effective, why should I see a doctor when I am sick? Why should I be buried after I die? I can't completely eliminate the disease of worshiping gods. I will be reborn after worshiping gods. Where can I still have troubles and sorrows in this world?"
There was a young man standing on the street. The young man was slender but not thin, handsome but not dazzling, wearing a blue Confucian shirt and looking gentle.
There is a kind of free and easy game on his face.
The young man's surname is Chen Guhong and his courtesy name is Ziyu. He is a local person. His parents both died and he is living with his sister and brother-in-law. This time he went out, he went to pay homage to the birthday boy under the order of his sister.
In the Tianyun country, the imperial examinations are prevalent, and all kinds of things are inferior, but only high school reading is high.
There is a golden house in the book, and there is a beautiful woman in the book.
Chen Guhong is also a young boy. He studied at the age of five and participated in the boy exam at the age of thirteen. He is twenty years old this year, but he failed many times and failed the scholar. He became a scholar's husband and is still a child student.
However, there are still many like Chen Guhong in the entire Chengyang County, so Chen Guhong is not very conspicuous.
Of course, Chen Guhong also has his own little secret, he is a time traveler.
In his previous life, he was an unemployed young man. He was anxious all day long, looking for a job, looking for a partner, and running around for the bright future. I have never been to play for many years, and I have never been happy for many years.
Gradually, I lost my nature and became a social youth living for society.
"Although this world is a bit absurd and funny, it is already a paradise compared to my life in my previous life." stretched, Chen Guhong held the game mentality and bought incense to worship the birthday boy, then shook it step by step and went home staggeringly.
I live in Chenqu Lane, and my house is not big, it is just an ordinary person. My neighbors on both sides are all ordinary people.
There was a child's joke nearby, but when he saw Chen Guhong, he bowed like a little adult. There was no way. Although he was a child, Chen Guhong's social status was still quite high.
Nodding at the little babies, Chen Guhong stepped into the home.
My sister's name is Chen Xiuxiu, a housewife.
My brother-in-law is named Wang Zhengdang, and he is a small grain shop owner.
When Chen Guhong came back, Chen Xiuxiu was about to go out to buy some soy sauce and cook. When she saw her younger brother, she smiled and said, "My younger brother, is it fun in front of the birthday star temple?"
Because both parents died, Chen Xiuxiu was very fond of this only younger brother. This time, the excuse was to ask his younger brother to pay homage to the birthday boy, but in fact he asked his younger brother to go out to play. He also gave him fifty copper coins in private and asked his younger brother to buy food.
"Everyone is very happy, and I am very happy." Chen Guhong knew that his sister cared for him, and he smiled happily.
"Haha. Just be happy." Chen Xiuxiu smiled even more, and then explained: "Sister, I'm going to buy soy sauce, you can stay by yourself. If you're hungry, there are still some pastries in the kitchen."
"Yeah, where."
Chen Guhong said with a smile.
"It's great to have a virtuous sister." Looking at Chen Xiuxiu's back as she left, Chen Guhong's heart was filled with a warm feeling.
After stopping for a while, Chen Guhong turned around and went to his room. The room was divided into two parts, the inner bedroom was the small study room, the outer one was filled with various books, and there were many four treasures in the study room.
Looking at these decorations, Chen Guhong's face showed sorrow.
"I have been studying for many years, but I have not achieved fame and fortune. I have eaten for free all day. Although my sister and brother-in-law didn't say anything, I was also uneasy. Why not talk to my brother-in-law and make some livelihoods."
Chen Guhong has had this idea for a long time, but he was afraid that his sister would be sad and did not dare to bring it up. But today, he felt that it was time.
After making up his mind, Chen Guhong waited for his sister and brother-in-law to come back.
Not long after, Chen Xiuxiu came back. After Chen Xiuxiu came back, she cooked the food, greeted Chen Guhong and sat down and waited for her husband Wang Zhengdan to come back.
After waiting for about a cup of tea, Wang Zhengdang came back.
But it scared Chen Xiuxiu and Chen Guhong jumped.
I saw Wang Zhengdan crying, as if his parents were dead.
"What's wrong?" Chen Xiuxiu hurried up and said with concern. Chen Guhong also leaned forward.
"This year's corvee service has not been completed." Wang Zhengdan said with a wry smile.
"The corvee service was not completed?" Chen Xiuxiu widened her eyes, and her snow-white teeth almost broke. A look of horror appeared on her friendly face.
Chen Guhong's heart was also nervous.
This is similar to the ancient society, where people have to pay taxes and conduct corvee labor.
The so-called corvee service is a conscripting activity, such as building a city wall, and a large army mobilization, and the people are responsible for transporting food. For example, the Qin Shihuang built the Great Wall and summoned the people in ancient China, which is a kind of corvee service.
In ancient times, we traveled for a long distance and traveled thousands of miles. There were many tourists dying in foreign lands, so every year, we would definitely cry.
In the entire Tianyun Kingdom, only scholars who are well-known and have good fortune can be exempted from corvee labor.
Wang Zhengdang was a small businessman, and his family was relatively well-off. He could use some silver every year to manage his relationships so that he and Chen Guhong could perform corvee labor nearby, or simply exempt him from corvee labor.
Although it loses money, it also eliminates disasters and is happy.
"It's done every year, why haven't this year?" Chen Guhong asked calmly.
"Someone is doing something bad." Wang Zhengdan said with a wry smile.
"Make bad?" Chen Guhong frowned.
"It's that boy Wang Shun. He recently found a small official in the county yamen. Although it was small, it just stuck us." Wang Zhengdan showed a spitting expression on his face, and his wry smile became even stronger.
"Wang Shun?!" Chen Guhong showed a little murderous aura on his face.
The Wang Shun family is next door. They are not only neighbors, but also the same grandfather. They can be regarded as brothers of the same clan. Wang Shun is cunning and has no bottom line in being a human being.
He is a fool who steals the dog.
Five years ago, Wang Shun took action to steal the little hen at Wang Zhengdang's house, but was caught on the spot. At that time, Chen Guhong felt that this person was too bad and was better than to report to the official.
But Wang Zhengdang was concerned about the friendship between the same clan, and Wang Shun couldn't help but beg, and Wang Shun's wife came to kowtow and beg for mercy with a few dolls.
In the end, this incident was not reported to the official and it was considered as if it had not happened.
Over the years, the two families have been harmonious and thought that this matter had long become the dust of history. Unexpectedly, when Wang Shun was developed, he bit Wang Zhengdan instead.
