The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain

The lights are on at three o'clock and the chicken is on at five o'clock, which is when men are studying. read

After feeding the black horse in the stable, Bai Gui packed his schoolbag and hurried towards the ancestral hall.

The Lu family is close to the entrance of the village. Because it is a large family, it occupies a large area.

In the streets and alleys, you can still see the remaining torches from yesterday, as well as the villagers patrolling back and forth. When you get to the school, you can hear the noise in the official room where the officials of Xiawu are discussing business in the east. The lights are also on in the adjacent teachers' dormitory.

"The walls of this fort must be repaired to prevent wolves, otherwise it will make people panic. We patrolled yesterday, but it can tire people to death. If there is a baby in its mouth, whether it is from your house or the other's house, who will Don’t feel bad…”

Bailu Village is protected by a wall made of earth.

It's just that it has been in disrepair for a long time. There is a gap on the east side of the fort and a gap on the west side. If you kick it hard, the earthen wall will collapse.

"It's not possible to build a fort. It's freezing. Can't dig out the earth..."

"Besides, the county clearly prohibits the construction of forts, so whoever builds it will demolish it?"

Lu Zilin's voice was very loud.

If the fort is built, the two big families, namely his family and the Bai family, will have to contribute the money, while other villagers will contribute a lot of effort.

He is not afraid of spending money. He uses local materials to build the fort, and the manpower used is just for food. It is a fort built for the village, and it is not built by a single family. No one would think of making money from this.

It's just that the kiln soil is now covered with frozen soil and cannot be dug out.

The Guanzhong Plain belongs to the Loess Plateau in a broad sense. The loess here is as fine as flour. Dig a cave dwelling from the plateau, about ten meters from the surface. The soil obtained is the kiln soil, not the humus soil on the surface. That soil cannot build a house. Once a house is built, food and grass roots will sprout easily, and the wall will be destroyed.

Use a dustpan to sift the kiln soil. There is no need to steam the soil, just tamp it down.

Although it was freezing cold and it was difficult to break the clay for the kiln, it was still possible to do it with hard work.

But the key question is, who dares to build a fort?

It is said to be called Baozi, but it is actually the famous Wubao during the Northern and Southern Dynasties!

Wubao, also known as Wubao, was formed during the reign of Wang Mang and Tianfeng. It is a folk defensive building. At that time, there was a great famine in the north and the world was in turmoil. Therefore, in order to protect themselves, wealthy families built Wubao camps one after another. Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty Liu Xiu ordered the destruction of Wubao, but the ban continued.

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the north was lost, and Wubao expanded and flooded. The aristocratic families gathered together with clan and township parties to gather in Baowu and defend it according to danger, so as to avoid Rongdi bandits.

The fort in Bailu Village was built during the chaos of the Chuang Army in the late Ming Dynasty, and was later destroyed by the Manchu and Qing Dynasty officials.

In order to maintain their rule, the Manchu and Qing government could not allow local authorities to build forts. Anyone who dared to build forts would be punished for treason!

"The New Party in the South is making a fuss, and the Qing Dynasty has not been alive for a few years. I heard that there is someone in Yaojiazhai who has taken over the mountain and become a bandit. Good guy, about thirty guns, three hundred heroes... …”

There was an extremely depressed and rough voice.

They are all fellow villagers from the same clan, so the man who speaks does not have to worry about anyone reporting him.

"You dare to say this? Then the bandits in the south made such a big fuss, as well as the Nian troops in Anhui and Shandong provinces! Boxers! Didn't the Rakshasa Kingdom invade from the west and be put away by Zuo Zongtang? Judging by my forehead, this court still has a long way to go..."

"Jia Xuan, you are the clan leader, can you give us an accurate answer? Should we cultivate or not?"

"this……"

The meeting room was silent for a long time.

When Bai Gui passed by, the sound of his footsteps was very soft, and there was snow on the ground, so the adults discussing matters in the government office did not notice him.

He paused for a moment, then shook his head and walked away without saying much.

A humble position!

How can a reborn person show off his power and offer advice and suggestions, and then everyone will look at him with admiration, bow his head, and have unrivaled prestige for a while.

It's possible, but highly unlikely.

Just like most children, it is simply difficult to convince their parents with reason.

Besides...

The idea of ​​building a fort or not seems to be a suggestion, but if it is really surrounded and suppressed by the government..., then it will be a perfect scapegoat. Didn't you see that Lu Zilin, who had always wanted to compete with Bai Jiaxuan for the position of clan leader, wanted to let Bai Jiaxuan have the say?

At this time, the Qing government was much more open-minded than when they first entered the customs, and their control over the people was also reduced. They would not be punished for treason, but other crimes were not easy to bear.

…

"It seems that I am the first to arrive at school today, two quarters of an hour earlier than others."

Bai Gui's body and mind suddenly felt very happy, and the drowsiness of getting up early was gone.

Because it was just dawn, the light outside was not very bright, and the school was dark.

I want to reshape my personality in this short period of time and let others change their perspective.

This first small step is to be the first to arrive at school every morning!

The literary style in the north is not strong, and Bailu Village is a small village. No matter how strict the tutoring of a wealthy family is, it will not be as powerful as the involution of later generations. Bai Gui just regained the attitude of preparing for the college entrance examination in later generations.

He opened the door and walked in.

The school is located in the ancestral hall. Although there are some valuable charcoal, candles and remaining belongings of the school students, the door is not locked.

As soon as we arrived, the husband's dormitory was here, and the concierge was also guarded by a crippled old man who was on duty. Secondly, although there are hundreds of households in Bailu Village, if someone dares to become a thief and steal things from the school, it will undoubtedly be a crime against Tai Sui!

This is because the families of Meng Tong who can enter the school are quite wealthy.

Last but not least, this is where the ancestral temple is located.

Although Bailu Village is divided into two surnames, one is Bai and the other is Lu, in fact, hundreds of years ago both families had the surname Hu, and the village is not here, but close to Zishui. After the flood, I moved to the hillside of Bailu Village. I met a white deer walking out of the field. All disasters disappeared. Wherever it walked, all toads, centipedes, scorpions and other harmful animals in the valley died. Now, the disaster-stricken crops have produced food, and the blind old lady regained her sight and can spin threads on a spinning machine...

It is impossible for superstitious villagers to steal in front of their ancestors.

"Brother Zhou?"

"Why are you here?"

As soon as Bai Gui opened the door and walked in, he saw four desks closed in the corner and Zhou Yuan, who was sleeping, immediately exclaimed, a little surprised.

"Ah..., is it you?" Zhou Yuan, who lit the lamp with a fire stick and put on his glasses again, glared at Bai Gui angrily, "There is a wolf plague outside, and you think I, a person from a foreign village, dare to rush back? ?"

The Zhou Yuan family is a wealthy family in Pangjia Village, Nanyuan.

Pangjia Village and Bailu Village are three or four miles away, and it takes about half an hour to go back.

"This is also..."

Bai Gui suddenly realized that if there was a wolf disaster, he would naturally stay in the school for the night.

"Actually, I have been staying overnight in the school." Zhou Yuan pointed to the quilt and yawned: "It is winter now, and it gets dark early. I usually stay in the school for the night, but you went back a few days ago. Two days.”

"Everyone knows this."

he added.

"Then do you know about the construction of the fort in Ermen Village?" Bai Gui suddenly became alert. Zhou Yuan did not stay in other people's homes in Bailu Village. Obviously, there should be no close relatives or acquaintances of him in Bailu Village. Who knows what he heard? Whether he will report this matter to the county, not to mention going to the county, but to the chief security officer, Bailu Village will not be able to survive in vain.

"Look, you were so scared. What kind of person could you be?"

Zhou Yuan's eyes widened. He didn't expect Bai Gui to think of him. He snorted disdainfully: "This is a matter in Zijue Township. What idiot can do this? Besides, the E family has no worries about food and drink." , there is also a textile factory in the city. Not only does he earn a lot of money every day, but he is also a master who is not short of money. How much silver can the government reward? It is not enough for a good meal. "
