"Mr. Lu, the court is going to collect the unmarried tax. I remember you reached your final age this year!"
"I don't have that much money!"
"There's nothing you can do if you don't have money. You can't break the law! Find someone to borrow it! There's nothing you can do about it!"
Early in the morning, Lu Yi was sitting on the threshold of his room, staring at the sky in a daze.
Next to him, Uncle Geng, who was busy working, revealed some information.
Uncle Geng has a son who works as an errand in the government office.
During this period of time, everything he specially reminded me has come true.
However, no matter how true the information he revealed this time, there was nothing Lu Yi could do about it.
Because he really has no money!
A year ago, he saw a mirage, and then inexplicably physically traveled to this different world.
There is no system, no cheats.
Even if he wanted to obtain information about this world, he couldn't do the most basic thing!
Because his clothes and appearance are completely different from this world!
Others couldn't understand what he said.
He doesn’t understand what others say!
He even got close to a village, and the people there chased him with weapons and killed him!
He even saw people eating people!
That’s right, people eat people!
There is drought everywhere.
As far as the eye can see, there is not even a hint of green!
It's too awful!
Those young and strong men, unable to endure hunger, attacked the elderly and children around them.
He looked so creepy!
After a year of hiding in Tibet, his hair grew longer, his clothes changed into clothes of ordinary people in this world, and he also learned two languages of this world: the official dialect and the local dialect.
Only then did he gradually integrate into this different world.
Only then did he understand what kind of miserable world this was—
The late Eastern Han Dynasty in a parallel world!
Moreover, the Yellow Turban Uprising has begun!
However, this period of the late Eastern Han Dynasty is different from that in the history books. It seems to be mixed with some unofficial history, or the content of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
He didn't know exactly how much was mixed in.
Because he is just a refugee!
Refugees simply don't have much access to the world's intelligence.
Because there was drought everywhere and people died everywhere, Lu Yi became a refugee with the people of Wu County, crossing the river and migrating to the Lujiang River in the northwest.
Why move here?
Because, according to rumors, the current governor of Lujiang is called Lu Kang, and he is from the Lu family of the Wujun gentry!
Although Lujiang was not very wealthy under his governance, the refugees he took in would at least not starve to death as long as they worked hard.
Not dying of hunger is simply a luxury these days!
In every household, there is no one where several people have not starved to death!
After Lu Yi and the people of Wu County crossed the river, they encountered bandits.
Many people dispersed.
Some people were even hacked to death by these bandits on the spot for escaping!
Lu Yi hid himself in the river and soaked for a day and a night until his skin turned white before he got rid of the bandits.
When he came ashore, he touched the corpses in exchange for some clean clothes.
If possible, hope to find something to eat.
Then, he saw a person's body——
"Lu Yi".
That's right, it's the real "Lu Yi".
Lu Yi's original name was not this.
This is the real "Lu Yi", Lu Yi has seen it before!
A young man from a branch of the Lu family in Wujun.
True Lu Yi's neighbors all died before crossing the river.
Some people died of illness.
Some people starved to death.
There are wealthy families in the main Lu family, and there are even tribes.
However, in order to prevent the refugees from looting, the main tribe only maintained the food and drink of the main tribe members, and even ignored the side branches.
After getting guidance from the real Lu Yi, Lu Yi abandoned his name and called himself "Lu Yi" from then on.
The reason for doing this is because he is now considered the most humble existence among the refugees——
No way around!
No identity!
This year of hard work has made him understand that this kind of existence will never be able to turn over in his lifetime.
No matter how capable you are.
It can only exist at the bottom level.
And the identity of "Lu Yi" can transform him into a person with a clan at least.
Moreover, once they arrive in Lujiang and become a branch of the clan of Prefect Lu Kang, they will at least have a place to settle down.
Sure enough, after he finally arrived in Shu County of Lujiang River, he showed the road guide and was arranged by the local official to live in a shabby private house in the northernmost part of Shu County.
He was also provided with three days' worth of food to survive.
Even offered him a job.
Called watchman.
As a watchman, he received two meals a day and two copper coins.
That's right, two copper coins!
Two copper coins can only be exchanged for half a sesame seed cake made from whole grains!
Now, Lu Yi has been on duty for half a month.
So far, thirty copper coins have been obtained!
He also wanted to exchange for a piece of clothing!
A piece of clothing costs fifty copper coins!
As for why not to make contributions? He even went so far as to recommend himself as a counselor or general?
Even if he now relies on his status as a branch of the Lu family, Lu Kang, the governor of Lujiang, doesn't even see him!
No, he can't even enter the government office in Shu County!
As for the other things, what you mastered before traveling through time will not be used at all for the time being!
The reason is simple, he does not have any financial resources to purchase raw materials.
He can't even get the gunpowder formula!
He didn’t dare to take it!
I'm afraid that people in this world will treat me like a magic stick!
While Lu Yi was chatting with Uncle Geng, a man as skinny as a monkey walked over and shouted loudly: "Our family master has received inside information that the court is about to impose an unmarried tax!"
"Our Fang family purchased a group of women from bandits."
"If you want to get a wife, go to Fang's house quickly!"
“The price is cheap, and you can’t be fooled!”
"For those who don't have money, our owner is willing to give you credit on credit depending on the situation!"
"Don't miss the opportunity!"
"Only today!"
When he came to Lu Yi's side, the man smiled and said, "Lu Lang, you are unmarried too, right? You seem to be quite young! If you don't go, you will be miserable!"
"It is said that those who break the law this year will be taken to the west to farm."
"You know what's going on in the west."
"Bandits appear from time to time, but the imperial court has no control over them. The west is also close to Jingzhou, and Jingzhou always sends troops to fight."
“People sent to farm there often don’t see the people alive or dead bodies!”
Lu Yi secretly took a breath.
indeed.
If you were really caught farming on the west side of Lujiang River, it would basically mean you were going to die.
During this time living in Lujiang, he often heard that Jingzhou was coming.
Although, it’s just that I didn’t call.
As for giving credit to the Fang family——
Lu Yi sighed.
Better to die than live!
Thinking of this, Lu Yi said: "When will your Fang family do business?"
The man smiled proudly and said: "It will start whenever our master wakes up in the morning! You hurry over now, before it's too late, or you can pick a better woman!"
