For thousands of years, the first important thing that has been placed on the heads of ordinary people is to first fill their stomachs and keep themselves alive, and then to find a wife to continue their incense.
If you eat well, you can usually ask for one house. If you can eat well, you will have the confidence to ask for more houses.
Except in the past few decades, seeking a wife has become a matter of life and death for the country. The ratio of men to women has become very different for the first time in thousands of years. Tens of millions of male brothers can only spend the rest of their lives with five girls. Even if they are Women who have been married several times and given birth to children can become popular candidates for hundreds of thousands in betrothal gifts.
In the past, two people could live a lifetime if they were in love with each other. Nowadays, the house is promising, the car is in place, and the job has to be matched to barely live a lifetime. It is still common for people to get off halfway!
Fortunately, this is not a crazy era, and the world is not completely filled with the smell of copper. Women who only care about money and do not obey women will be put into a pig cage in Liangchuan's current era.
Not only did the men not agree, but even the government refused!
The government still has to rely on the common people to cultivate land and pay for food!
If women raise prices randomly, break the rules of this society, and make men unable to find wives, they will not have the motivation to farm and survive. It has become a mere mediocrity. It would be strange if society were not in chaos!
Therefore, in these days, what the government strongly recommends is that men should marry when they are older, and women should marry when they are older. It is the same no matter what ethnic group they are. Only when the population is prosperous can there be hope for the future!
The boss of Baijia Village has no worries about the country, but he sees that all the young people in the village are getting married. However, for many years, not a single happy event has happened in the village! If this continues, and the young boy turns into an old man, who will be willing to pay attention to their small village?
If he hadn't been desperate, he wouldn't have exposed his illness to Liang Chuan, a barefoot doctor!
Liang Chuan can cure diseases, and pigs can climb trees!
Apart from his clothes, he had nothing to do with the Nong people. Bai Baozheng was pointing at Wang Liangchuan to teach the young people in their village a few Nong family songs, hoping to shine a little brightly at the Malipo gathering so as to coax a few girls to come back. It’s been a few years, and it’s time for this feng shui to change to their village!
Liang Chuan just thought that he could earn some Cordyceps to eat. Digging this stuff would really test his skills! Although the price is not high, but seeing this thing picked from the wild with my own eyes, I feel like I have already filled my stomach before eating it!
Cordyceps is just like grass. It grows in the ground and only has a small tip. If you don't look carefully, you really can't see it. This tip is only a few centimeters long and is no different from ordinary withered grass! That day, Liang Chuan heard from Old Man Bai that the mountains were full of cordyceps, so he went up the mountain with bare feet. After a lot of effort, he found three or five ordinary-looking cordyceps, and he went back down the mountain half-heartedly!
The allure of Cordyceps is indeed not small. For the sake of this bag of Cordyceps and not wanting to refute Bai Baozheng's reputation, Liang Chuan accepted this task.
Fortunately, this time I can satisfy Ah Yue’s happiness!
Although the little girl enjoyed the quiet and peaceful time in Baijiacun, Liang Chuan gave her enough of my father's love. Under Liang Chuan's careful care, the little girl's body grew visibly thicker, and her complexion became much better. She was no longer like that The sickly green face looked like a red peach, very moist and pleasant.
In the days when no one was taking care of her, the little girl just wanted to survive, but now she really wants to be happy!
I heard that there was a big market nearby, which was more lively than Zuining Town. The little girl was so excited that she couldn't sleep.
It seemed that after following Liang Chuan, she never had to worry about her stomach, never went hungry or cold, and had countless happy things every day, each one of which was a beautiful memory.
Sometimes, she would also think of Anong in Guangyuan, Guangnan. Anong was the person she was closest to except Liang Chuan. She really wanted Anong to share this happiness with her, but at this time, she didn't know where Anong was. You know, where can I find someone else?
The next day, Liang Chuan took nine Bai brothers and headed north.
Baijia Village is located on the southeastern edge of Dali Kingdom, while Malipo is close to the hinterland of Dali Kingdom, at the foot of Xiushan Mountain, right in the middle of the Eight Prefectures and Thirty-six Barbarians, and to the north is Shanchan Prefecture, which was later Kunming. At this time, the Dali State Government was not Shanshan but Dali City, but this was also one of the most prosperous places in the Eight Prefectures!
I have never been to Shanchan Mansion Liangchuan, but the name of Spring City is very famous. Although it is getting into midsummer at this time, the local temperature is like the spring in March in Guangnan. It does not make people feel stuffy at all and makes people feel very comfortable.
Malipo is at the foot of Xiushan Mountain, and there are tribes such as Luomeng tribe, Buxiong tribe, Magong tribe, etc. Liangchuan only knew a little bit about these tribes. They belong to the Thirty-six Barbarians Tribe. Although they have the word barbarian, most of these tribes are members of ethnic minorities, but they are highly Chinese. Except for their clothing, they are no different from the Han people in other aspects.
It’s not their fault. Although the Khitan is the most powerful dynasty in the world today, in terms of cultural brilliance, the Song Dynasty is second to none. The high level of civilization of the Song Dynasty attracted all the surrounding countries to yearn for it. Everyone was proud of the Han culture and moved closer to the Han family!
Of course, these ethnic minority people in Dali are no exception. Even the head of Dali, the Duan family, considers themselves Han people, and they are Hanized as a matter of course.
Liang Chuan was riding a horse with Ah Yue on his back, followed by nine men. Before leaving, Bai Baozheng had repeatedly warned that he must bring a few girls back, otherwise he would not have to come back! The village can't afford to raise idle people, and what's the use of bringing back people who can't even please their mother-in-law?
Nine men, to be honest, it is normal for them not to be able to find a wife.
The two-day journey took these people nearly four days.
A group of people stopped and stopped along the way and could not go more than two miles. The Yunnan horse A Yue rode was not even tired, so they gave up their horses first. Lazy donkeys pee a lot and have no energy to endure hardship at all. They are not as good as Ah Yue. Yue is a little girl, and she didn't say a single word during the journey.
What disdained Liang Chuan the most was the behavior of these people, which had no masculinity at all!
Dali has been a paradise on earth since the Tang Dynasty.
Over the past few hundred years, except for a few wars fought when Dali was founded, it has been almost peaceful. Comfort makes people fall down and men lose their ambitions. These young people in Baijiacun gradually lost their masculinity in the peaceful days. , The better ones can do some farm work, while the worse ones can only gnaw at their old age. .
The youngest of this group of Bai people is called Bai Dai. It is said that the names of these people are also particular. Liu Wan, a poet from the Tang Dynasty, is called Dai Ma Wo Yangshan, Yan Bing Cries Lushui, what does it mean? No one knew, since there weren't many literate people in the village anyway, so they took a poem and arranged the names of their group.
However, this Bai Dai is the youngest, but he has the same first name.
Others were not so anxious, but Bai Dai really wanted to find a wife.
Among this group of people, he is the only one whose family situation is the worst. His father died early and he has no brothers or sisters. He is an old and disabled mother.
It's not that he has great ambitions, but if he continues to be restrained, he will have to stay in that small village forever to serve his mother. If he can't find a mother-in-law, he may really be a bachelor in the future.
But his family never taught him how to please girls. In that shabby and dark little home, there was always only the mother's sigh. In such a depressing environment, it is not easy for a child's mind to grow and mature. It is not easy for a child to grow up mentally. How easy is it for a child to become a sunny boy who is liked by women?
It happened that Bai Dai was also old enough to get married. Due to Baiyun Mountain's reputation, he could only follow Liang Chuan to Malipo to try his luck.
Among the nine people, he was the only one that Liang Chuan liked. When others were resting and complaining, only Bai Dai would grit his teeth and hold on.
Liang Chuan saw it in his heart but didn't say anything. What a shame these people are. If they can really win over the mother-in-law, then it means that the woman's family has no virtue and is lacking in virtue. Only those who are virtuous will marry these people as their wives.
After walking for four days, we finally arrived.
I thought this place would be a big market, a crowded place.
Liang Chuan took a closer look and saw that this place called Malipo was sparse, with a big mountain behind it and a few crooked trees leaning against a few broken houses. There were not many people visible, but there was a large building surrounded by a row of wooden boards. The place was like a colosseum. The gap was so big that Liang Chuan almost cried.
After traveling for so many days, just to come to a place like this?
Liang Chuan looked at the scene in front of him, and his first reaction was that he must have missed the time!
He looked hatefully at the few Bai boys behind him. These boys breathed a heavy sigh of relief, feeling greatly relieved!
Liang Chuan came here frustrated and saw Ah Yue's disappointed face. He was so angry that he wanted to curse, but he was losing his identity by arguing with these bird people. Being late is not a good reason!
Seeing that it was getting late, Liang Chuan found a place to stay first. There were only a few shabby houses in Malipo, and one of them happened to be an inn. Liang Chuan had no choice but to find one by himself!
"Is anyone staying at the hotel?"
Liang Chuan came here frustrated, planning to stay for one night and take Ah Yue back to Baijia Village the next day. He didn’t want the Cordyceps anymore!
As soon as he entered the room, as soon as he made a sound, several people turned to look over!
"Brother Qing, why are you here too!"
Liang Chuan took a closer look and saw that this was not his younger brother.
"How many of you are there?"
Liang Chuan was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he was immediately relieved. They must have heard that Malipo is a famous shopping mall, and they are here to prepare for business these days!
"We've been here for a few days, and we're just waiting for the fair to start in the next few days!"
Liang Chuan was startled for a moment and asked urgently: "The market hasn't started yet? Aren't we late? We thought we got up early to catch a late market!"
