MTL - Farmer of Shu Han-Chapter 4 trivia

  Chapter 4 Trivia

  Three Kingdoms is like a fight against landlords, Zhuge Liang drew a good card for Liu Bei ("Longzhong Pair" established the policy of the founding of the Kingdom of Shu), two kings with four twos. Guan Yu disassembled the four twos and singled them out, just for fun! Liu Bei was not convinced when he saw it, and threw the two kings out again, just to blow up an order!

   Simply crazy!

   After a battle in Yiling, the young and strong in the middle of Shu almost fell apart. Fortunately, the Shu Han met the old demon Zhuge, a rare internal affairs genius in Chinese history, who saved Guan Yu and Liu Bei's ruined family bit by bit, and at least gave the Shu Han another decades of life.

  How much the two failed wars hurt the Shu Han, Feng Yong only needs to look at the tenants in the village to know, and half of the people who work in the fields are women.

The strongest woman even secretly hid a steamed bun in her chest. When she found Feng Yong was looking at her, she immediately blushed and wanted to take it out, but it was too embarrassing to take out her chest in front of everyone, so she stood at a loss what to do. Just squeak there.

"Take it if you want to eat, let me see what I do!" Feng Yong glared at the woman angrily, "In the past few days when the wheat is harvested, the family is open to eat, and the master will not treat everyone badly. You can't finish it. You can take it back, and you won’t be held accountable!”

After saying this, I looked at the crowd and saw that the tenants stopped eating and watched him listen carefully to what he said. He nodded in satisfaction, "But in the future, you must wash your hands before eating! Whoever doesn't wash his hands will starve to death." Pull it down! Butler! Where’s the butler? Write this down, and wash your hands from now on.”

   Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to do for a moment—the master used to suffer from hysteria, and although his behavior has become the same as that of ordinary people in recent days, maybe the old illness has relapsed at this time? Otherwise, how can you pay so much attention to a meal? Why do people inexplicably have to wash their hands before eating? In the past, which one didn't come back from the ground and eat it with your hands?

"What's the matter? The master's words don't work, right? Why don't you wash your hands and wait for the whip?" An old man in gray clothes appeared, and he was the housekeeper of the Feng family, and he shouted in a deep voice, "A bunch of idiots ! Are you still afraid that the Lord’s family will lack you two food?”

  The crowd scattered like birds and beasts, and a boy and a half wanted to stuff a mouthful of steamed buns before he ran, but was grabbed by the thick woman, slapped him twice, and dragged him away.

   "The lord is back?" After the crowd had dispersed, the old man stepped forward and saluted Feng Yong. His demeanor was rigid but smooth and natural. It could be seen that he had come out of a rich family before.

"Well, I'm back." Feng Yong nodded, and the fishing rod and fish betel in his hand were forcibly taken over by the housekeeper, so he had to say as he walked, "Uncle Zhao has worked hard these few days, and I really don't care about the field. It's too clear, I have to ask Uncle Zhao to take care of me outside the house."

The housekeeper's surname is Zhao. I heard that he used to be the steward of a big family. Later, the master committed a crime and was exiled to the land of the Southern Barbarians. Come out to be a servant, I'm afraid that I don't know where in Nanman he died at this time.

"This is the job of an old servant." The butler is actually only in his forties, but these days, people in their forties are already considered old people. Hearing Feng Yong's words, the wrinkles on his face stretched out. "After the summer grain is harvested, our family has a storehouse of grain, so we can be regarded as a real family. At that time, we will find a boy servant for the lord, otherwise the lord will have to do everything by himself. Servant dereliction of duty."

Feng Yong smacked his mouth and suddenly thought of the other two servants who were rewarded by the family. One was the cook, who was fatter than the strongest woman in the village, and the other was a rough-working servant, who was thinner. But he is only two or three catties thinner than the cook, which also reflects the fact that there is a shortage of young and strong people in central Sichuan. Even the servants who are rewarded try to use women and old people as much as possible.

  Also, why do people have at least a little maid to accompany them when they travel through time, and what I have to face is either a strong woman or an old man, I am really helpless. It's hard to improve now, why is it a boy servant? Why not a maid?

   "Uncle Zhao, let's figure it out." Feng Yong waved his hand feebly, and immediately took the lead to walk home.

  In the past few months, Feng Yong has often been treated as a psychopath and kept at a respectful distance. However, since the housekeeper came to Feng's house, he did not stay away because of his strange words and deeds. Instead, he took good care of him and reminded him. Feng Yong was especially grateful.

  In this day and age, the fate of a servant is completely bound to the master. If something happens to the master, the servant will not be much better. In particular, Steward Zhao was awarded by the emperor to the descendants of meritorious officials. Usually, if there is no accident, he will be fine. If something happens, the local officials will first look for him.

   Steward Zhao's devotion naturally has factors in it, but the care given in it cannot be denied, so Feng Yong usually respects Steward Zhao's opinion as much as possible.

   "My lord, the meal is ready in the kitchen. Do you want to bathe first or eat first?" A butler who was behind Feng Yong asked.

   "Let's eat first. I've been hungry all day today."

There was a lack of food in ancient times, but it was not as good as in modern times. You can only eat one meal in the morning and one meal in the evening. The three meals are the emperor's treatment. After harvesting the summer grain, you must change your two meals a day to three meals a day. Feng Yong said that ancient times were very hard.

   "The summer heat in the living room has not dissipated, it is too stuffy, the master might as well go to the backyard to eat and cool off."

   "Okay." Feng Yong nodded, it's nice to have a caring housekeeper.

   "Today Li Tingchang came to the house and reminded our family to pay attention to the grain after the summer harvest..."

   "Pay food? Didn't our family say that we don't need to pay food? This is what His Majesty said when he rewarded us."

  Feng Yong was a little surprised, did he meet the legendary villain? To bully honest people? If this is the case, I really have to weigh the courage of that so-called pavilion chief.

   Zhuge Lao Yao ruled Shu, the officials did not harbor traitors, and the road did not pick up lost things. This is famous in the history. At this time, it was the time when the old demon Zhuge had just taken power, and he had to do everything by himself, so he probably didn't mind lighting a fire.

"Well, my lord, the land rewarded by His Majesty the Emperor of our family is naturally free of rations," the housekeeper laughed from behind, "But don't forget, our family still has a hundred acres of land left by the previous lord in Xiali Village. But for those who need to pay the grain, the old servant just exchanged the land to Zhuangzi a few days ago, and this was reported to the lord."

   "Oh, I forgot."

  So I told others wrongly, the family actually has 600 mu of land?

My own cheap Aunt saved a hundred acres of land for his family before he died, and then he worked hard to climb to the position of lieutenant general. Before he could settle down and start enjoying the life of a general, he met Liu Bei, the emperor of Shu, Then, there is no more.

   "Actually, there is still some time left for this summer food. From the old servant's point of view, this Pavilion Chief Li is using an excuse to come to our house, and he has ulterior motives." The housekeeper continued to chatter behind.

  The Feng family is not big, but no matter how small the house is, there are trivial matters. If it is necessary to let Feng Yong know, the housekeeper will nag Feng Yong before dinner.

  Feng never rejects this. On the contrary, he still enjoys this slow and peaceful pace of life, walking forward leisurely, and asked casually, "Oh, what is his intention?"

   "He first talked about the payment of food, and then said that the master has reached the age of marriage, and he should introduce the marriage, otherwise he will be fined."

  Feng Yong was taken aback for a moment, and asked in surprise, "This... the government still cares about this matter? If you don't get married, you will be fined? What kind of reasoning is this?"

  So people who are uneducated can’t travel casually. For example, Feng Yong, from time to time, pops up a common-sense question that a child knows the answer to. He is not wronged if he is regarded as a psychopath.

"Oh my lord, of course the government is in charge of this matter. If you don't get married when you reach the marriage age, the government will be an official matchmaker. If you don't agree, you will be fined." despair.

  These days, even if the government part-time matchmaker is forced to pull the red line, is it so humane? After changing the government of later generations, if we really want to take this measure, why would we be scolded every day? At least the parents of those leftover men and women should be grateful.
