Zhizhang Datang

Chapter 12
Lin Sen couldn't help but took a closer look at the figure bought by Xi Jun. His shoulders were nearly half wider than his own, and he was also a muscular body. His arms were almost as thick as his legs, and his hands were covered with calluses. Looking at his face Although he is still a little immature, he is far inferior to him. Judging from all signs, this guy is at least not a weak trainer.

As for whether he was so lucky to save the historical Xi Junmai, Lin Sen would rather choose to believe it.The records of that person seem to be limited to his great achievements of "breaking ten thousand enemies on a hundred horses". There is no other life history at all, and there is no way to further verify it, so let's just treat him as good.

"Good name!" Lin Sen praised so much, trying to hide his excitement and excitement.

After all this tossing, time really passed quickly. Seeing that it was getting late, although Lin Sen sincerely invited them to stay for a meal, didn't he just buy a lot of supplies, and he was the one with the most confidence At that time, Xi Junmai and the father and son did not seem to be in very good condition, but the two left with gratitude.

As for their origins and why Xi Junmai fainted due to heat stroke, they didn't say anything from the beginning to the end, and Lin Sen naturally didn't take the initiative to ask.

Although they were tight-lipped about it, Lin Sen still had some reliable guesses, or guesses, that they should all be mountain people living in Zhongnan Mountain.

Mountain people don't just mean farmers living in the mountains, but also refer to those who have escaped into the mountains for various reasons and thus have no household registration with the government.

In places like Zhongnan Mountain, the composition of the mountain people is also the most complicated.

This place has always been the realm of the fairy family in the legend, and there has been no shortage of hermits in all dynasties. Even Lin Sen's descendants, there are still many people who went to Zhongnan Mountain to be hermits. As for the reasons for retiring, there are various reasons. They are all tired of the world of mortals, and turn to pursue the "Tao" in their hearts.

There are too many famous people in this area. As early as the ancestor of Taoism, Lao Tzu who was also regarded as the ancestor by the royal family of Li and Tang, Zhang Liang of the Han Dynasty, and many people who were revered as gods, all once practiced in Zhongnan Mountain However, Sun Simiao, the medicine king, should also be living in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain.

Hermits are only a small part of the mountain people. In the late Sui and early Tang dynasties, the most people fled to the mountains to escape wars and military disasters.Because Zhongnan Mountain has complex terrain and huge area, it is a good choice to disperse into it to save your life.

However, as the Tang Dynasty gradually settled down, more and more of these people came out of the mountains and re-registered as obedient citizens.

There are also some mountain people who run to the mountains and forests to live a self-sufficient life purely to avoid taxation or exploitation from the landlords. They feel that the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, so they are more comfortable.

In the end, some of them nested in the mountains because of conflicts with Datang.There are people from several other major powers who competed for the world at the end of the Sui Dynasty. Because they were worried that the Tang Dynasty would settle accounts after the autumn, and they were tired of the days of endless battles, they squatted in the mountains peacefully and planned to die here.

After all, Du Fuwei and other leaders who surrendered to Datang could be said to have died unjustly. I still don't know how it will be handled.

There are also some bandits who are still hostile to Datang, or bandits who don't obey discipline, or conspirators who still plan to cause some troubles for Datang, and it is best to make the world fight again.

Of course, the life of the mountain people is definitely not as good as it looks. If you escape into the mountains and not only have food and clothing, but also don’t have to pay taxes, then everyone will come to be mountain people, who will be the obedient people who are controlled by others Woolen cloth.

In fact, Datang attaches great importance to the place of origin at this time. If you want to enter the city, conduct transactions, etc., as long as you need to communicate with the crowd, you must have a household registration, even if you want to buy some salt or iron. , Don’t count on it without a household registration, you can’t even enter the city gate, let alone trade these necessary supplies.

At the same time, since you have not fulfilled your duty to pay taxes, you will naturally not enjoy the protection of the soldiers, and there will be no officials to uphold justice for you. If you have any bad luck, you can bear it yourself.They were even reported by ordinary villagers, and there might be rewards for them, and there were not a few who were taken away and turned into slaves.

So aside from the superficial freedom, most of these mountain people are facing the embarrassment of lack of clothing and salt, and no one is willing to turn themselves into a mountain person unless it is a last resort.It is completely understandable that Xi Junmai and his son are secretive about their identities.

In terms of the vigor shown by Xi Junmai and his son, Lin Sen always felt that it was more likely that they belonged to the last category. Has a hostile look.

But these seem to have little to do with Lin Sen at the moment, so there is no need to delve into it, as long as you know that these two people will not be harmful to you.

These two should be straightforward people, and judging from the performance of the two of them, they obviously take their savior's affection very seriously, so naturally there is no need to worry that they will repay their kindness.

After seeing off the two strong men, Lin Sen started to prepare dinner in a happy mood. He was indeed hungry after a busy day, but he still felt that it was worthwhile to save such a famous and famous general.

He doesn't care about repaying anything. Lin Sen has always adhered to the philosophy that being kind to others is only for gaining insight into one's own thoughts. Doing good deeds is already the best reward, as long as the other party is not a white-eyed wolf who turned his face on the spot, Whether he will repay his kindness in the future will not affect his good mood.

But it is obvious that Mr. Xi bought the father and son, and he is not a master who does not repay his kindness, and his repayment is definitely not just a casual talk, which Lin Sen will soon realize.

Lin Sen also prepared a richer dinner this time, not only to reward himself for saving a life, but also for the harvest of this trip to Chang'an. A new source of income, and there are so many things I just bought, it's not an exaggeration to have a rare luxury.

In the early morning of the next day, Lin Sen put yesterday's episode behind him again, picked up his ax and went to the mountain to find good things. Woodcarving needs good materials, and if he wants to sell some precious medicinal materials and decoctions, he also needs to go to the mountain to find good things. .He hasn't reached the point where he can sit and eat.
