Change the Tang Dynasty Li Yuanba

Chapter 5 Repaying the Li Family's Debt

Seeing the darkness outside, Li Cha, who was about to leave, accepted the old man's request and planned to spend the night here.

Li Cha drank four bowls of white porridge, barely filling his stomach.Looking at the white-haired old man, he was a little depressed.

Li Cha said to the old man: "Old man, you can rest for a while."

"I'm fine, young man. Seeing that you have suffered a lot, why don't you just go to bed and sleep for a while."

The old man said to Li Cha.Looking at Li Cha's current attire, his face is dusty and his clothes are ragged, he really looks like he has suffered a lot.

"It's okay, old man. I'm young and I can bear it. Just rest first."

The old man refused again, wanting to give up the bed to Li Cha.

The two argued for a while, and in the end the old man couldn't hold back Li Cha, and lay down on the bed, sleeping with his clothes on.

Maybe it was because the old man had done a lot of work during the day and was a little tired, so he fell asleep not long after lying on the bed.

Li Cha got up and went to the stove, he was not full yet, and wanted to see if there was anything else to eat.

But the rice vat in front of him was clean, not a single grain of rice could be found, and the porridge in the pot had bottomed out.

It can be seen that the old man on the bed, because he felt sorry for himself, boiled the last ration of the family into porridge.

Li Cha couldn't help but have red eye circles, it's the cold winter months, how will the old man in front of him live in the future.

In comparison, what Li Cha has seen along the way, the life in Cunliu Village outside Chang'an, is really good.

I don't know if my so-called second brother Li Shimin, who is sitting on the dragon chair in the Taiji Palace in Chang'an City, knows what life these poor people live.

Li Cha sat next to the brazier again, adding some new coke to the brazier from time to time.

Gradually, Li Cha fell into deep thought.

I stepped into the Tang Dynasty abruptly, so I can't just go on doing nothing like this, I have to find something to do.

Although I haven't figured out whether I am the Li Cha of later generations or Li Yuanba of this era.

But now that I have come to the era of Tang Dynasty, I have the knowledge that Li Cha has brought from later generations to benefit the country and the people, and I also have the physique and force of Li Yuanba. It is really unreasonable not to do something for this era.

Whether it's for Li Cha, Li Yuanba, Datang, or the entire Han race.

In the early morning of the next day, a gorgeous morning glow appeared in the east. The sun shone through the thin clouds, shining on the white land, and reflecting silver light.

Wisps of cooking smoke floated from the roofs of the village, and the air was filled with mist like a veil.

After the old man woke up, he looked around.

The charcoal fire in the charcoal basin in front of the window has long been extinguished.

There was still porridge left over from last night that had bottomed out in the pot.

It's just that Li Cha was no longer in the room.

The old man got out of bed, smiled wryly, and shook his head.

When the old man finished eating the leftover white porridge from last night and wanted to go out and find something to do for a change of food.

Suddenly Li Cha's figure appeared in the old man's eyes.

At this moment, Li Cha had a hard time not attracting attention.

I saw Li Cha dragging a colorful tiger with his left hand, and a black bear weighing a thousand catties with his right hand.

It was dragged all the way to the door of the old man, leaving obvious marks for two days on the snow-covered ground.

Everyone on the way pointed at Li Cha in amazement, not knowing what he was talking about.

"Old man, you have to go out."

Li Cha saw the old man about to go out, and shouted at him.

"Well, go out and find something to do for a change of food."

The old man was also very happy to see Li Cha came back, he thought Li Cha left without even saying hello.

"Old man, don't go out today. Look, I brought you two big guys. Let's go back to the house and talk."

The old man was also very surprised when he saw the two big guys dragged by Li Cha.

"Okay, go back to the room and talk."

Li Cha left the two big guys outside the door and followed the old man into the house.

"Old man, I ate your porridge last night, and there is nothing to repay. The two big guys outside are considered Li Cha's return."

Li Cha said to the old man with a smile.

It turned out that Li Cha saw that the old man's house was empty, and he heard the old man said that there was a big mountain to the east, so he came up with an impromptu idea and beat up these two big guys overnight, hoping to leave some protection for the old man before he left.

The black blind man weighing a thousand catties was dragged out of the tree hole by Li Cha.

"Old man, the boy is leaving. The two big guys outside are enough for you to take care of your old age. Don't work so hard." Li Cha said to the old man.

"Young man, look at the fabric of your clothes. The old man knows that you are not an ordinary person, but he didn't expect you to be so powerful. I don't know how many people have been harmed by those two scourges over the years. The young man can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people. The old man replaced you." The people of the town thank you."

The old man bowed his hands to Li Cha.

"Don't, old man, the boy can't bear it."

Li Cha hurriedly helped the old man up.

"Young man, the old man is just asking, you have such ability, how can you be so downcast?"

The old man was really puzzled, how could he faint outside his house with such abilities.

"Well, it's a long story at this time, so it's worth not to say it." Li Cha didn't want to explain this to the old man.

"Old man, let me ask you something, have you ever hated this world, have you ever hated Li Shimin?"

Before the old man could speak, Li Cha hurriedly changed the subject.In fact, he really wanted to know what people in this era thought of Li Shimin.

When he was in Cunliu Village before, he knew that Li Shimin was very popular with the people, but it was in the suburbs of Chang'an, and the people lived pretty well.

This is the most frontier of the Tang Dynasty, and the people here are still living a precarious life, so he wants to listen to it again.

"Young man, don't dare to speak out the name of His Majesty the Emperor."

When the old man heard Li Cha bluntly speaking of His Majesty's name, he hurriedly stopped him.

"This world is not something poor people like us can control. Why don't you hate it? His Majesty the Emperor can't wait for it. It is His Majesty who ended the war and allowed us to eat so that we won't starve to death. There is no rush to be grateful. Well, how can you hate it. You young man, this question is a bit strange."

What a group of pitiful and pathetic kind-hearted people. Their request is only to have something to eat, and they are satisfied without starving to death.

"But he, Li Shimin, has not been able to keep you fed and clothed so far. He lives in extreme cold every day. Does the old man still protect him like this?" Li Cha continued to ask.

"That's enough, don't say any more, take away the things outside the door, I don't need it, and you are not welcome here."

The old man was really angry this time.

"Okay, okay, okay; old man, don't worry. I'll just stop talking."

Li Cha hastily relented, and he also understood the status of his second brother, the emperor, in the hearts of the people.

"Stop talking, let's go."

The old man stopped arguing, got up and opened the door, wanting to drive Li Cha away.

"Old man, listen to me. I have the right to doubt Li Shimin's ability to govern the country, and I also have the right to scold him."

Li Cha has the memory of Li Yuanba, and at this time he really has a little temper.

"No one is qualified to question His Majesty the Emperor, and no one is qualified to scold His Majesty the Emperor. Even if there is, it is only the late Emperor Gaozu. You go, you are not welcome here." The old man was furious.

"Oh, I won't ask any more, and if I say the last word, I will leave."

Faced with the old man's attitude, Li Cha was also helpless.

Li Cha took out a gold medal from his pocket and placed it on the old man's three-tiao table.

"Take it away. I won't take your things. The two beasts at the door will also be taken away."

Seeing Li Cha's actions, the old man said in a stern voice.

"Old man, I have to leave. If I come back here again within two years, you will return the gold medal to me."

"If I haven't come back after two years, then you can take that gold medal to the local chief executive and ask him to send a message to Li Shimin, saying that his third brother Li Yuanba is gone and will never come back."

Before finishing his sentence, Li Cha turned around and stepped out of the opened door, without looking back, he rushed towards the mountain to the east.

The old man was stunned for a long time when he heard Li Cha's last two words.

He finally understood why the young man said he had the right to question His Majesty the Emperor.

Just relying on the three words "Li Yuanba" is fully qualified.

No one in the world knows the legend of Li Yuanba, King Zhao of the Western Mansion.

In this world, it is said that Emperor Gaozu defeated it, and the current emperor, it is better to say that Li Yuanba, King Zhao of the Western Mansion, defeated it single-handedly.

In the battle of Siming Mountain, one person defeated the 23000 army of the Eighteenth Route Anti-king.

During Yangzhou's "anti-king and seizing the championship conference", Wu Tianxi, the sixth hero in the world, was killed at Tianchang Pass.

In the battle of Zijin Mountain, Yuwen Chengdu was killed, and a horse with two hammers faced 185 million troops. The two hammers were like swatting flies.

In the end, all the anti-kings were forced to hand in their surrender forms.

In the end, he came back victorious from the battle, raised his hammer in Tongguan to confront the heavens, and was struck to death by the divine thunder sent down by Lei Gong.

And the legendary figure who had died long ago actually starved and fainted in front of his door, and was rescued by him.

This information made the old man unable to accept it for a while.

With trembling hands, he picked up the gold medal on the table.

On the front of the gold medal is engraved a dragon riding the clouds and fog, and on the back is engraved the four characters of King Zhao of Xifu.

It was the identity plate of King Zhao of the Western Mansion bestowed to Li Yuanba by Emperor Yang of the previous dynasty.

Although the old man can't read, he still knows the dragon on the front of the gold medal.

Trembling, the old man found a hidden place and hid the gold medal for fear of losing it.

Li Cha thought about it for a long time last night, since he woke up and left the palace.

All the scenes that I have personally experienced are replaying in my mind non-stop.

The honest and kind people in Datang should not suffer disasters that do not belong to them.

What is Datang most lacking now?That's right, food.

Have enough food to have a full stomach.

Only when you have a full stomach can you work hard.

There is enough food to feed more children.

With enough children, there is enough productivity.

People's lives can be truly improved.

So how can we increase food production in a short period of time?

Li Cha's decision last night was very simple, he wanted to forcefully cross the Bering Strait and go to America.Go for corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes.

Li Cha, who has survived for decades in the 21st century, knows that these three are the real large-scale grains.

In the early days of the founding of the later generations, they also experienced a hundred years of war, three years of severe drought, and various natural disasters.

At that time, eating white noodles or rice was also a luxury.

But relying on these three kinds of grains, the people of New China survived from the land full of holes.

If I can come back alive with the seeds of these three kinds of food.

If these three foods can be widely grown.

Then the people of Tang Dynasty will no longer suffer from hunger.

Anyway, I have already walked to the northeast of the Tang Dynasty. Relying on the extraordinary physique of Li Yuanba, I might as well go directly to the Bering Strait and go to the Americas.

As for him keeping the gold medal to prove his identity, and set a two-year contract.That's because they were afraid of any accidents and asked someone to report a letter to Li Shimin.After all, he was also his second brother.
