Zhang Chao walked out of the house and looked at Zhangjiagou with some curiosity in the early morning of winter.
He and Daddy Zhang and his gang returned to Zhangjiagou last night, so apart from remembering that they had been climbing, the rest were not impressed.
Yesterday he was cold and hungry after walking dozens of miles, so he fell asleep sleepily after eating some dry food at home.
When he woke up in the morning, Zhang Chao found that he was not living in a house last night, but a cave.
The cellar cave is an earthen cellar cave, there is only one room, and there is a small courtyard outside, which is very simple.
Daddy Zhang had already gotten up early in the morning and was chopping firewood outside.
Zhang Chao's bed has a set of cloth clothes, a hemp jacket, and patches on it, but it looks very clean, it is estimated that it is Daddy Zhang's own clothes.
Zhang Chao was quite suitable after changing into it, but fortunately this was a short coat and not that kind of robe.
However, the clothes were too thin, so Zhang Chao also wore his short-sleeved jeans in it, and finally took a piece of cloth to wrap his head, which was finally much better.
When he got out of the house, he wanted to help chop wood, but his father said that he didn't have a cocoon on his hands with fine skin and tender meat, so he would definitely not be able to do this job.
After Wang Wei stood there and helped build the wood that could be chopped, he walked around the village.
He already knew that this village was called Zhangjiagou, but most of the people who lived here did not have the surname Zhang, anyway, after the chaos, the people settled down again.
The name of the village is also related to the topography of the village.
Zhangjiagou is very close to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, only thirty miles away.
The place where Zhangjiagou is located is also very famous, called Bashang, and it is not far from Bashui.
"Isn't this the White Deer Plains of the later generations?"
After going around the small village, based on the information that his father told him, Zhang Chao already knew the location of Zhangjiagou.
The plateau in the southeast of Chang'an, Bailuyuan.
Specifically, it should be the ditch between the Dizhai Plateau and the Paoli Plateau in later generations.
Standing in the village and looking to the south, the valley ditch seems to be the whale ditch of the later generations.
The black-faced man who came back with him yesterday came over with a bucket and smiled at Zhang Chao.
Zhang Chao came back with him all the way yesterday, and he already knew that this black-faced man was very good at using a bow and was also a good hunter. is also from this village, but not surnamed Zhang, but surnamed Ke, called Ke Wu.
I heard Daddy Zhang say that Ke Wuzu was a Qiang person from Longyou, and later moved here, originally their surname was Ke Ba, and later changed to Ke surname.
However, Zhang Chao saw that Ke Wu was not only rude, but also no different from ordinary Han people.
"Uncle Ke, what's the name of that river?"
Zhang Chao asked him with a smile.
"What is the river called, it's a ditch, a bathing ditch."
In Ke Wu's words, in the summer, when it was hot, everyone went to the ditch to bathe together every evening.
Over time, this ditch became known as the bathing ditch.
Bathing ditch is actually a small river, flowing through Lantian, Chang'an, and Baqiao in later generations.
Bashang is composed of two plateaus close together, and Zhangjiagou is the ditch boundary that divides these two plateaus.
And the whole Bashang, east of Bashui, west of water, south of the Qinling Mountains, the whole belongs to the Tang Jingzhao Mansion of Ningmin County.
To the east, which is adjacent to Tiaobashui, is Yushan County, and to the south, the area under Qinling Mountain is Lantian County.
In fact, in later generations, these three counties were almost within the territory of Lantian County.
Before the Tang Dynasty, Ningmin County was also called Bailu County, because Bailu originally had a large number of Qiang people like Ke Wu who migrated and resettled, so it was later changed to Ningmin County, and the name of the county was originally named after immigrants from Ningzhou, Gansu.
The bathing ditch is indeed the whale ditch of later generations, but the bathing ditch at this time is indeed a little small, and the reservoir has not been built here by later generations, so there is not much water storage. finally determined where he was now, and Zhang Chao was in a good mood.
Zhang Chao followed Ke Wu to fetch water, chatting while walking.
Although Ke Wu was a Qiang, their ancestors had immigrated since the Sixteen Kingdoms period, and according to him, the imperial court moved 5,000 Qiang families here at one time.
Therefore, in the whole Ningmin County, there are actually a lot of Qiang people, but after so many years, hundreds of years have passed, so these Qiang people are actually no different from the Han people.
Before crossing, Zhang Chao actually came to Bailuyuan several times, he used to live in Xi'an, not far from here, several times and riding friends to ride over, especially this bathing ditch, in later generations can be the junction of Baqiao District and Chang'an District, the water volume of the whale ditch can be much larger than now, the scenery in the ditch is beautiful, the scene is different throughout the year, Yangchun Mountain flowers are all over the field, and the summer is cool again.
There are also a lot of clear springs and waterfalls, which are quite rare.
Ke Wu is considered a native of Zhangjiagou, but Daddy Zhang actually settled down from outside.
In this village, which has only a few dozen households, there are more than 20 soldiers from more than one government, organized in the same military office, but divided into several classes.
What is somewhat different from Zhang Chao's imagination is that these government soldiers are no different from ordinary people in peacetime, they are not military households but civilian households, and when they are not fighting, they are also under the jurisdiction of the local government.
They also did not live in military camps, but lived with ordinary people.

It's just that they are different from ordinary people in that they don't have to pay rent for the fields they plant, and rent is also a tax.
"When our government soldiers do not fight and do not march, they have to go to the guards in different shifts.
In normal times, they will also take turns to participate in intensive training at the military office. ” Ke Wu filled two buckets of water, carried it on his shoulders and walked back, and in the snow that had not yet melted, he walked like a fly.
The government soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are basically concentrated in the Guanzhong and Hedong regions, and the Tang Dynasty, which is dominated by the government military system, also takes turns to transfer government troops from all over the country to Beijing to defend in peacetime.
According to different distances, the shift time is stipulated.
For example, within 500 miles, that is, the military government within 500 miles from Beijing, the soldiers are divided into five shifts, and one shift has to be on duty for more than two months a year.
The farthest is twelve, and each shift only needs to be rotated for a month.
But they spend more time on the road.
In addition, the military government has to keep a quarter of the government soldiers in the military government to practice and guard the town all year round, which is also to take turns.
In fact, the burden of government soldiers is not light, but ordinary people can't be government soldiers if they want to, they have to be small landlords or homesteaders, not only have money in the family, but also have many brothers in the family.
The family has property, so that they can buy armor, armor, mules and horses, and there are many brothers in the family.
Although the burden of being a government soldier is not light, it is also a rare opportunity for ordinary poor children to enter the government with military merits, so there are still many people vying to become government soldiers.
Ke Wu's family is not bad, and there are many brothers.
And although Daddy Zhang is an old bachelor, he is a veteran, experienced, and has fought for half his life.
"Fifth uncle, how much land has the court given you?"
"My family has eighteen acres."
When Ke Wu answered this question, he was obviously very satisfied with the eighteen acres of land.
But this result surprised Zhang Chaoda, he remembered that it seemed that the Tang Dynasty's uniform field system was 100 mu of land per ding, of which 20 acres of Yongye field and 80 mu of mouth divided land or something.
How could it be the turn of the government soldiers, but it was only eighteen acres.
Ke Wu listened to Zhang Chao's question, and just smiled.
"Every Ding Juntian is one hectare, what you are talking about is Kuanxiang Juntian.
In those places, there was a large amount of public land and a small population, so the government was able to grant land in full according to the upper limit of 100 acres of land.
But we are Gyeonggi here, a very narrow village, with many people and little land, where there are so many fields to give.
Being able to grant eighteen acres is already very good. ” One hundred acres per person is only the maximum ceiling.
For example, Zhangjiagou is close to Jingshi, and there are still many people here, and Zhangjiagou is the middle boundary of the two Taiyuan of Bailu, and there are many valleys here, so the land is relatively small.
In addition, many of the lands were owned by owners, so there were even fewer commons.
Ke Wujia also had some land in the past, so when Juntian, the people here were Juntian, but Juntian was the public land here.
After the number is averaged, when it is finally divided, it is necessary to subtract the private land that the landlords already have.
Ke Wu originally had twelve acres of land in his hands, because the soldiers of the government had preferential treatment, and each person had thirty acres of land, because he already had twelve acres, so in the end he was only allocated eighteen acres.
And Daddy Zhang had no land, so he got thirty acres in full.
Thirty acres of land sounds like a lot, but the land in Zhangjiagou is worse than the land of other Zhuangzi, and the agricultural technology of this era is not developed, and the harvest is extensive.
In particular, Daddy Zhang often has to go to the guards and go out to fight, often delaying the agricultural time.
"I defeated Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande this year, and I see that the world is finally going to be peaceful, and the future will be better."
Ke Wu is very optimistic and feels that life is getting better day by day, at least much better than in the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty in the early years. became a government soldier, and took a few months a year to go to the guards and train the town guards, but the rent was exempted.
Zhang Chao's pace slowed down, and there were many things on his mind.
Obviously, although Zhangjiagou is a common man living in the suburbs of Beijing at the foot of the imperial city, it is obvious that life is not good.
Father Zhang is over fifty years old, blind in one eye, and has many scars on his body, but he still has to go to the battlefield to fight.
Datang gave him thirty acres of land, but the harvest was meager, there was only one cellar hole in the house, and there was not even a mother-in-law in the house.
At least he had to build another cave, or he wouldn't be able to keep squeezing into a bed with his dad in the future.
The new cellar cave will not be in a hurry for a while, but Zhang Chao feels that there is something that must be built immediately.
That's the ondol.
Living in a broken cave in the ice and snow and leaking air everywhere, I can wake up several times a night.
If you live in a cave, you must make a fire on the kang, otherwise you won't be able to live this winter, Zhang Chao walked towards the broken cave, and said to himself firmly in his heart.
The people of the Tang Dynasty didn't seem to know how to build a fire kang, Zhang Chao suddenly moved, doesn't this mean that he has found a way to make a fortune.
It won't be long before I will be promoted and raised, become the general manager, become the CEO, marry Bai Fumei, and reach the peak of my life.
