Chapter 160 He Zhaoyu
Dahei bit the small cloth bag and ran towards Lin Lizheng's house with a familiar look. Lin Youcai wrote a note and put it in the small cloth bag, asking Dahei to give it to Tao Mingyuan, saying that he had something to do tonight and would not go to teach, so he had to work alone.
Why give it to Tao Mingyuan? Because he is the only one who can read characters without difficulty, while others have not yet learned all the characters.
The outdoor solar lanterns illuminated the main room, where five people sat on long benches. Lin Zisu and her mother sat on one bench, while Lin Youcai, Lin Xianwen and the guests each sat on a bench.
The woman looked about 15 or 16 years old, with ordinary looks, big, bright eyes, and short hair. Her skin was not white, but a well-proportioned wheat color. She was about meters tall and very strong. She was dressed very simply, wearing the cotton top and pants that can be seen everywhere in Qingshui City, a button-down jacket, casual pants, and sneakers.
The woman looked at the family of four and said, "My name is He Zhaoyu. To show my sincerity, let me tell you about my experience first! I live in the 21st century. On an ordinary day, I woke up from a nap and arrived in this dynasty that is not in the history books."
The family of four nodded. Like them, they were from the same century.
He Zhaoyu: "Fourteen years ago, my soul was transferred to this body. At that time, this body was only three years old. She was swept away by the sea, and then pushed ashore by the sea. She was found and sent home. This is what the original body's parents said. When I opened my eyes, I saw a dilapidated house."
The family of four thought that the two sides would test each other, negotiate conditions, beat around the bush, and tangle for a long time. Unexpectedly, He Zhaoyu came up and spoke frankly and got straight to the point.
The four people's eyes lit up when they heard it; they liked to express themselves directly and believed open communication was the best and most effective.
However, when they heard He Zhaoyu say fourteen years ago... the four of them were stunned for a moment before they reacted and looked at her in shock.
Lin Zisu asked in surprise, "Ten...fourteen...years ago?!"
"Fourteen years!" Shen Xianglan was also very shocked. No wonder they had already established a country. Of course, being able to dominate a region and establish a country does not just require staying for a long time.
Lin Xianwen blurted out: "Old time traveler! The total time our family of four has spent here is not even a fraction of the time you have spent here."
Lin Youcai was surprised and exclaimed: "You have been here for more than ten years, and have been away from modern times for a long time."
He Zhaoyu had an expression that said, "You two really are a family that traveled through time together!"
Lin Xianwen realized later that he had let the cat out of the bag.
He Zhaoyu: "It's great that you can travel here as a family! I came here alone! You are the only time travelers I know of so far."
Lin Zisu: "You are also the only "fellow countryman" we know of."
He Zhaoyu: "I will briefly talk about my experiences in the past fourteen years. When I came here, my original self was three years old. My original self's family was fishermen on the coast, making a living by fishing. The family was poor and worried about the next meal after the previous one.
Her original name was He Da Niu. Her mother gave birth to seven children, but only five survived. She was the fourth of three older brothers, and she had a younger sister. The custom there was to separate the males and females, so she was called He Da Niu and her sister was called He Er Niu.
My original name was Jiang Zhaoyu, so I simply changed my name to He Zhaoyu, following my original surname.
You have been in the country for more than a month, and you must have seen a lot of modern products and modern regulations. . . I know in my heart that there are people like me in the country. They think I am too high-profile, not hiding anything and daring to use anything. "
Lin Zisu poured her a glass of water. He Zhaoyu took it and took a sip to moisten her throat. "Thank you."
"You must have your reasons for doing this. You are able to manage the people of this era in an orderly manner using modern regulations and concepts. You are very capable, smart and pragmatic." Shen Xianglan praised sincerely.
He Zhaoyu smiled and said, "I have no choice but to survive. The He family is at the bottom of this dynasty. The family is poor and has many children. The original body is still a girl. If I don't show my ability, I won't live to adulthood.
When I read novels before, many time travelers were very cautious and tried their best to blend in with the locals so as not to notice anything unusual.
Whether they use the golden finger, advanced things, or advanced knowledge, they must lay a good foundation. They must be well prepared, or they must distance themselves from the consequences and pass the blame on to the locals. They must hide their achievements and fame and become the people behind successful people.
The prerequisite for being able to hide like this is to be alive. The families that the souls traveled through are not rich, but at least they are upper-middle class families. Even if they are poor, they have food to eat and a house to live in.
Anyone who comes here is a homeless refugee, starving for nine meals in three days, without the aura of a protagonist or a cheat. He will definitely not live long! "
The family of four agreed very much and nodded vigorously. If it weren't for the RV, the RV as a golden finger to lead the way, the RV to store food, the RV to hide, and the halo of the protagonists. In the war years, how could a large group of people travel thousands of miles from north to south without losing a single person and successfully escape to the south.
He Zhaoyu watched her subordinate push open the gate and the big black dog that had just delivered the letter walked into the yard. She continued, "Let's not say that the He family is a wealthy family, but if the He family is a family with enough food, in the years when there is enough food, parents will not be stingy in showing their affection.
But in the case of a family that cannot afford enough food, they can only choose to give up the offspring with lower value and let the offspring with higher value survive.
Girls are only ahead of dogs or livestock and poultry in the order of eating at home. If there are many children in the family, they are even inferior to dogs, livestock and poultry.
After all, livestock are very useful and can be sold for a lot of money. Investing too much food in a girl is a waste for them.
Therefore, I must show my uniqueness, and I cannot accept living in a feudal system."
Lin Zisu immediately raised her hand, "Me too! As a woman, even if I lived in peacetime and my family had no worries about food and drink, I could not accept life under the feudal system! I would definitely get depressed and die of depression!"
He Zhaoyu smiled and said, "Yes! Who wants to live in a cannibalistic feudal system? Fortunately, fate was not too cruel to me and gave me a golden finger.
The decline of a dynasty is gradual. Over the past hundred years of the Dahuan Dynasty, the national strength has been declining day by day, and signs of decline have long been apparent.
After I knew I had the golden finger, I began to plan. Starting from the small town where the He family lived, I accumulated strength and slowly encroached on the surrounding lands. For so many years, the north had not made any moves.
Two years ago, after the old emperor died, the princes who had been fighting secretly put their fight for power in the open, fighting to the death. This caused the already shaky dynasty to collapse completely. This gave me more time and opportunities.
When the upper classes fight, the lower classes suffer. The people are displaced, many are killed and wounded, and flee to the south. The people of the north are pouring into the south, and I don’t mind the number of people, and I will not turn away anyone who comes.”
Lin Youcai: "Population resources are an important resource for a country. They are all labor!"
Lin Zisu: "In ancient times, the population was small, and many children died young. There was also a preference for boys over girls. When they grew up, their life spans were short for various reasons. In ancient times, the population was an important resource for a country.
However, troubled times are not without their benefits. As the old saying goes, everything has its pros and cons. In troubled times, human life is worthless and the people live miserably. But troubled times are also opportunities. Without destruction, there is no construction! "
