Chapter 1:

"Master." The round-nosed little servant held a broken bowl, crying so much that his face was muddy with tears and nose. The blouse he was wearing was covered with mud, his fingers were red with cold, and he hiccuped with twitching and couldn't speak smoothly. , "No, I didn't want to arrive, hiccup, don't give, hiccup..."
Lin Yuan saw that this little guy was about to cry, and he said quickly, "Come here and sit down."
As he said, Lin Yuan unfolded the broken quilt he was wearing, and hugged the little man in. The wind was strong in the ruined temple, and the two masters and servants relied on this bed to resist the cold and keep warm.
It has been a week since Lin Yuan walked through, and he didn't move much during this week, so he couldn't move.
The original owner is the son of a landlord in the north. The landlord’s property is quite large and has a foresight, but he can’t get rid of the great cause of the local family. So he found his only son and gave him a large sum of money to send him to the south. Go to buy some property, buy some land, some tenants, and then buy a village. If the situation in the north is not good in the future, there will be a destination for the family.
However, the old landlord had countless counts, but he didn't count that his son was a silly white sweet.
It's really silly and sweet. When I left, I brought a small servant and a coachman. I also told my father that if there are too many people, he is prone to disasters. Moreover, the north is not stable and the family needs people. , So I convinced the old man.
The original owner read a lot of books, a bunch of sages said, the father heard that the sage said, come on, listen.
So the original owner embarked on the unfortunate path.
The little boy was twelve years old and still vacant. The three masters and servants grew up in the yard.
Someone knelt down on the side of the road to ask for something, and the original owner gave everything if he could, and he was targeted.
The coachman was strong and voluntarily holding the gangster, no one knew whether it was good or bad.
When Lin Yuan walked in, all the little valuable things from the original owner were robbed. Because of guilt and remorse, and the weather was cold, the wind chill occurred when he couldn't find a place to stay, which was a cold and fever.
Wind chills were easy to kill in ancient times, not to mention that the original owner just left without treatment.
Lin Yuan was also very embarrassed. The original owner was actually only fourteen years old. In ancient times, lifespan was short. A boy from an ordinary family was able to set up a family after he was twelve years old. It was a good thing, but the times did not give him the opportunity to be a good man.
Xiao Si was already too cold. He wiped his tears and nose with the back of his hand, but he didn't wipe it clean. His face looked even more embarrassing. He cried and said, "I can't get medicine."
This child is a solid eye. He was born in the Lin family and received education to be a loyal master. The so-called education is actually brainwashing. After more than ten years of washing, the fake has become real.
"Then don't." Lin Yuan touched Xiao Si's head and smiled in pain: "It's okay, look at me, it's almost better."
Fortunately, the group of people who robbed them were all civilians. They only robbed money without hurting others, otherwise they would have lost their lives now.
Lin Yuan has searched all the things left over in the past few days. He doesn't believe that the Lin family only gave silver ingots and silver tickets. He would hide some cash in the middle of his shirt before traveling in modern times. How could he not prepare for it in this era? ?
However, I searched everything that I could search, and I found nothing.
The young man stopped crying. After his emotional breakdown, he realized that he was again held in his arms by the young master. Since the accident, their master and servant ran away in a hurry, only carrying a quilt. The young man didn’t touch the quilt. Yes, only for the young master, but after the young master wakes up, he always embraces him.
When I thought of this, Xiao Si started to cry again. How could God be so bad to him if the young master is such a good person!
"Blame me!" Xiao Si started to take care of himself, and said regretfully, "Master said it first, telling me to be careful, but I'm not upset, and I'm tired of young master! Oh, blame me! I have no brains! Bai is long!"
When he said that, he struggled, raising his hand to slap himself.
Lin Yuan quickly grabbed his hand and patted him on the back. After experiencing this kind of thing, for the boy who is only ten years old, it is probably not much different from the collapse of the sky. He comforted: "It's all right, we Isn't it all right now?"
The young man's nasal voice was very heavy, and he said vaguely: "Blame me! Blame me!"
"Let's look carefully again." Lin Yuan was about to search again. He took off his coat and even the profanity clothes. He was only wearing a pair of profanity pants, shivering coldly while looking for the mezzanine.
The young man followed to look for it. Although they looked for it every day, they were always worried that they were not careful.
During this period of time, all the money for eating was Lin Yuan let Xiaoying be the only padded jacket before.
Lin Yuan wore cloth shoes. The landlord’s wife made them by the hands of his master’s mother. The soles are thick and thick. I don’t know how many stitches are needed to get this pair. The feet are warm in winter.
The original owner was born by a girl, and even a concubine is not even considered a concubine. This year is equivalent to passing the ghost gate. His mother was only fifteen years old when she gave birth. Her body was originally poor, and she gave birth to a child without even looking at it. went.
The original owner embraced the mistress. The mistress herself has no children. She is from a scholarly family and has no common interests with the landlord. Not to mention that the two of them have the same eyebrows. It would be good if they didn't look at each other. Well, I taught reading and literacy since childhood.
Just because the original owner can write the meeting and is a literate man, his father thought that this son could stand alone, so he entrusted the important task.
When Lin Yuan found this paragraph in his memory, the whole person was speechless. This father is also enough. Reading and doing practical work are obviously two different things!
At this moment, Lin Yuan's inspiration flashed and took off his shoes. Fortunately, the original owner was young and it was winter. It didn't smell bad if he didn't change his shoes for so many days. Otherwise, Lin Yuan really couldn't get his hands off, so he took out the insole. , Reached out and touched two.
"Young Master..." The young man said nervously, "Why are you..."
He wants to ask you why you are crying.
Before asking, I saw the silver ticket that Lin Yuan took out.
In addition to the pattern and seal, the amount was written on it-two hundred taels.
Replaced with a copper plate is 200,000 Guans, which is a lot of money, and the original owner's father also gave a total of 500 taels, which still paid out all the family can pay.
The mistress also took out the money from the bottom of the box, fearing that the original owner would encounter any accident.
Mother-hearted!
Lin Yuan, who is an orphan in modern times, has some feelings.
It seems that the task that Old Man Lin gave will not be completed in the near future. First, find a place that is not air-tight to live in, and recover from the illness before pondering.
As for doing business, Lin Yuan didn’t even dare to think about it. He had given up since he knew that this was the Yuan Dynasty and the emperor on his head was Yuan Shun. He also knew that Shen Wansan, a big merchant, was almost as rich as an enemy. Choosing the right investment target, embracing Zhu Yuanzhang's thigh.
The results of it? Not long after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, he was exiled to his family and greatly enriched the treasury.
Wasn't Heshen at the back too? Didn't Qianlong know that he was making money or that he was greedy?
How much he was greedy, didn't he all return to Jiaqing?
So Lin Yuan is going to honestly follow what Lin said, buy some land-it's better to be remote, don't fight at your door in a war, and set up a house. Then the whole family will definitely have to come over and make it bigger. At one point, we still need to collect food.
What is the most valuable in troubled times? Gold and silver jewelry? Wrong, food.
The people are the most tossed during the war. The people can no longer cultivate. Naturally, the output of grain is getting less and less. It is common to pick up bark and eat grass roots. Food is the foundation of life. It is cheap in prosperous times and expensive in troubled times.
"Young Master." The young man smiled foolishly, "Let's change the silver."
Lin Yuan still couldn't walk now, so he could only hand over the banknotes to the young man, carefully exhorting: "Only take fifty taels, and exchange for two bills, always one."
"Go tomorrow morning, go early." Lin Yuan looked at the dark sky, "It's not safe to go now."
The young man nodded immediately: "I listen to the young master!"
In the eyes of Xiaosi, the literate master is a much smarter person than herself, and the master knows everything.
Before going to bed, Lin Yuan thought with joy that he can show his skills when he finishes his family business. He will be a hero in troubled times. He will follow in the footsteps of the predecessors and invent a fire
cannon, tank, airplane, etc. , I will collect a bunch of younger brothers, maybe... maybe... hey!
At this time, Lin Yuan hadn't realized that he was a liberal arts student, and the most creative work he had done in his life was repairing a computer. He hadn't repaired it yet, so he bought another one. For this reason, he almost spent the scholarship.
But people still have dreams.
Before dawn the next day, Xiao Si poked his head out of the quilt. The cold wind was blowing outside. The ruined temple could neither shield the wind nor the rain. Fortunately, it did not rain for more than a week, nor did it snow in the south, except It was a little bit colder, it was not difficult to travel, he rubbed his hands, a little reluctant to bear the warm bed.
But Xiao Si quickly cheered up. He thought that the young master couldn't walk now, and all hopes were on his shoulders, and he raised a wave of lofty ambition.
Before he left, Lin Yuan asked: "If you run into a gangster, you give them the paper money, you know?"
The young man is not clear, so: "Can't give it! That's all the young master's money!"
Lin Yuan explained: "You can grab it if you don't give it to them. Can you grab it? Compared to the two matches, the other forty-eight taels are the big ones."
Xiao Si lowered his head and said, "I blame me for being useless. If Brother Chen is still there, those people will definitely not be able to steal Brother Chen..."
Speaking of Brother Chen, the coachman who voluntarily followed the original owner made Lin Yuan feel a little panicked.
Brother Chen is the original owner’s nanny and the nanny’s child. He grew up with the original owner. He is strong, loyal, and close. When he was a child, he still slept in a bed and flicked each other's little birds. Far away.
Brother Chen is five years older than the original owner and has no big name, so he calls him Brother Chen, and his elders call him cowdan.
He let the original owner and the young man run away, leaving behind to stop the victims.
act recklessly.
Lin Yuan sighed. The ancients were simple and honest. If you change places, Lin Yuan feels that it is impossible for him to save people with his own life.
The Yuan Dynasty emphasized commerce and did not pay much attention to agriculture. Taxes were the lowest among the dynasties, and only merchants were heavily taxed.
However, the low taxes of the imperial court did not mean that local officials were clean and honest. They could not live extravagant lives by relying on salary, and could only oppress the local people.
Nowadays there are more and more exorbitant taxes, and the oppression from the landlord class is getting heavier. Many peasants everywhere are unable to live and can’t survive. They become victims of the disaster. Trying to survive, the plague has broken out in many places. Flee.
Those disaster victims who stopped them and robbed them of their belongings may have been ordinary people who farmed the land honestly and were satisfied with a bite of food.
In order to survive, they indirectly killed a good person like the original owner.
When life is not guaranteed, all morals and etiquette must be left behind.
