In Chapter 1, there is not even a knife at the beginning

Next Chapter

In the confusion and dizziness, Liu Jin felt that he had a splitting headache, and a large amount of information was constantly pouring into his brain, which seemed to be a person's experience from childhood to adulthood, and this person was still an ancient.

"I've read too much historical fiction?"

In his mind, Liu Jin thought so.

As a hardcore old bookworm with more than ten years of online history, Liu Jin has read not 10,000 novels but thousands, among which his favorite online novels are historical travel novels.

Recently, he has just become obsessed with a historical travel novel, the author's writing is quite good, and Liu Jin, who is addicted to it, has really reached the point of forgetting to sleep and eat, and he has been addicted to it for several days and can't extricate himself.

So there is an extra piece of information from the ancients from childhood to adulthood in his brain, and Liu Jin still thinks that he is too addicted to novels, which is caused by thinking about it day and dreaming at night.

In the haze, Liu Jin struggled to open his eyes, and a little light refracted in.

The dilapidated hut, the window paper on the window was completely tattered, and against the window, only three legs of a dilapidated desk were intact, and the other leg was still supported by a wooden root.

There are a few slightly worn books neatly placed on the desk, this book is not a modern book, but a kind of book with ancient threads, and the paper of the book is very rough at first glance, far less white than the modern paper.

In addition to a few books, there are also a few brushes, the tip of which has been forked, and a lot of wolf hairs have fallen off on it, but they are cleanly washed.

The inkstone was a stone that had been picked up randomly from the river, and the yellow-brown spots were clearly visible, and there was some dried ink inside, which seemed to have not been used for several days.

In addition to this desk, the whole hut was only the bed where Liu Jin was lying.

The bed was also made of earth and a few wooden planks, with a thick layer of hay on it, and as for the quilt on Liu Jin's body, it was covered with patches, and some blackened cotton wool could be seen in some tattered places.

"I'm crossing over?"

Liu Jin wiped his eyes and looked at everything in front of him in disbelief.

Although his family is not a wealthy family, he grew up in the new era, no matter how poor he is, he will not reach such a point, not to mention, this scene is known to be the home of the poor in ancient times.

"Smack~"

Liu Jin slapped himself hard, and suddenly there was a sharp pain on his face.

"Did I really cross over?"

Liu Jin's whole person became a little dumbfounded.

I watched the novel well and lived a happy little life, but I crossed it all at once.

"Oh my God!"

"Cross over, cross over, you can also make my starting point higher, the crossing army in the novel, not to cross to become the emperor and prince, at least to cross over to become the stupid son of the landlord's family or something."

"When it comes to myself, look at it like this, I don't even have a knife at the beginning, let alone a dog."

Soon, Liu Jin combined the extra information in his mind, and immediately understood his situation, and couldn't help but jump up, pointing at the sky and scolding.

It turned out that Liu Jin didn't all travel over, but only his soul traveled to ancient times.

The original owner of the body in front of him is also named Liu Jin, who is still a scholar, and has already achieved the fame of Xiucai, so he is waiting to participate in the triennial township examination next fall, as long as he can pass the township examination, he will become a privileged man.

It stands to reason that at such a start, Liu Jin should not blame the heavens for scolding his mother, after all, in the Ming Dynasty, the status of scholars was quite high, and the scholars and the Son of Heaven ruled the world together was not just a slogan, but a real variety of privileges.

In addition to being an official and being a master, you don't have to pay food or serve as a conscription, which means that you can not only be an official, but also enjoy the privilege of tax exemption and exemption from working for the state in vain.

You must know that in ancient times, the two things of paying grain and serving as a servant were born unavoidable, as long as you don't want to be a thief, don't want to be a homeless, and not a nobleman, these two things will be with you for a lifetime.

Only by becoming a scholar can you jump out of the Three Realms, not in the Five Elements, and become a privileged existence.

And once you become a privileged class, it is natural that a large number of people will attach themselves to your name and attach their fields to your name, and just a name fee can sit at home and share the income of the peasants for a year's hard work, as for the wife, concubine and the like, let alone in this era.

It's just that the premise of all this is to become a lifter, that is, to pass the township examination and become a lifter.

But just a show talent was occupied by Liu Jin of later generations, and asked a later generation of people to participate in the eight-share imperial examination of this era, Liu Jin felt that he was still a little self-aware.

This is also the reason why Liu Jin scolded his mother.

There is no middle lift, which means that Liu Jin still has not gotten rid of the original class, and it also means that Liu Jin still needs to pay for food, and still needs to serve as a servant, as for being an official and making a fortune, don't think about it, Liu Jin, who came through in later generations, will not be able to pass the imperial examination and become a lifter.

"You're going to be crossed by me after you become a lifter."

Liu Jin wanted to cry without tears, looking at the four walls of his house, bursts of cold wind kept blowing in through the broken window, making Liu Jin couldn't help but shiver.

Through the memories of the previous owner of this body, Liu Jin knew that it was now the tenth year of Hongzhi and belonged to the middle of the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, the Xiaoice River period has arrived, and it has just passed the Mid-Autumn Festival, but the weather is already very cold, and frost has already formed outside.

The cold wind came out again and again, so that Liu Jin's thin body couldn't help but hide in the quilt, but this quilt is estimated to have a long history, and the warmth effect is really worrying.

At the same time, Liu Jin also seriously doubted that there would be some small animals and the like in the black cotton ball, thinking of this, Liu Jin couldn't help but want to throw away the quilt, but a cold wind blew, and after thinking about it, Liu Jin felt that it might be warmer to live with small animals.

"The crossing of the pit daddy."

Curled up in the quilt, with his head resting on his hands, Liu Jin couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.

Although Liu Jin in later generations is also a very ordinary family, at least there is a home to shelter from the wind and rain, and the home is also heated in winter, and you can eat popsicles shirtless while watching the snowflakes fall outside.

Although it is said that you can't eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas, eat big fish and meat, but there is meat for three meals a day, and it is also the most basic to eat a full meal, and even occasionally you can invite three or five friends to go to the restaurant, drink some wine, brag or something.

But through the memory in his mind, Liu Jin knew it clearly.

In this era, even if it is a landlord's life, it will definitely not meet the standards of ordinary people in later generations, and in this ancient era when food depends on the sky, everything is maintained on the land.

The production of the land is extremely limited, and it can barely survive when the wind and rain are smooth, but now is the beginning of the Xiaoice period, under the influence of the Xiaoice period, the weather is cold, the grain production is greatly reduced, and even sometimes there will be no grain harvest.

Even if it is a landlord, when the peasants do not harvest, the landlord's family will not have much surplus grain, and all they harvest is grain, and they want to have meat for their meals, and the life of the landlord's family is not so luxurious.

Although Liu Xiucai is a Xiucai, his family only has more than a dozen acres of land handed down from his ancestors, and it is precisely because of this field that Liu Xiucai's mother Wang was able to send Liu Xiucai to a private school to study and was admitted to Xiucai.

But in ancient times, reading was not an easy thing, and ordinary people had no way to support the consumption of a scholar, and generally only a landlord's family with a solid family background could support a scholar.

In ancient times, the first thing was to need a lot of money, this bundle was for the private school teacher, generally the better the teacher, the more expensive the bundle, after all, the teacher is also a person, but also to eat, it is impossible to teach you to read and write for free.

In addition to the bundle, the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone needed for reading are also very expensive, not to mention anything else, just books, which are common in modern times, are incredibly expensive in ancient times.

In ancient times, without modern advanced printing technology, how much did a book cost?

Taking the Song Dynasty as an example, one tael of gold was exchanged for 36 guan money, and there is a book called "Da Yi Cuiyan", which cost 3.3 guan, about 2.8 grams of gold, and gold in modern times is about 300 grams.

Therefore, the cost of printing such a book is 840 yuan, and later there was an official who specially priced the book, and the book was doubled and sold for a high price of more than 1,000 yuan.

In fact, in ancient times, gold was worth much more than gold today, and in ancient times, it was much more difficult to obtain a penny in the context of a small-scale peasant economy than in modern times.

It can be seen how expensive this book was in ancient times, and ordinary people, let alone reading, just one book is enough to dispel your idea of sending your child to study.

What's more, there are bundles, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and since he is a scholar in Qinggao, it is natural that he does not listen to things outside the window and only reads the books of sages and sages.

Obviously, the home that Liu Jin crossed is far from the word Yin Shi, if you don't study, you can barely get enough food and clothing, and only a dozen acres of land, if you want to support Liu Jin to study, this day can be imagined.

Liu Jin reached out and touched the ribs on his stomach, looked at his tiny arms, and couldn't help but scold again.
