Chapter 2: Past and Present Lives
…
As the name suggests, the magpie people are like magpies chattering non-stop, especially when she still lets down her guard against the kind and understanding Cai, and even more chattering.
And Cai Yi, from the bottom of his heart, is an old fritter who has lived for thirty-five or six years, coaxing a child who has no scheming, is it not a matter of being caught?
One is willing to say.
An unobtrusive guide.
It didn't take long for Cai to still find out a lot of things.
This includes Cai's current identity.
He is now surnamed Cai, also known as Still, and his name is exactly the same as in his previous life, except that he is now the only son of Cai Bian, the prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty and calligrapher.
Speaking of Cai Bian, many people may not be familiar with it, but when it comes to Cai Bian's sibling brother, everyone knows it, he is Cai Jing, the minister of power in the Northern Song Dynasty and the famous head of the six thieves in the Northern Song Dynasty.
In the third year of Xining, Cai Bian and his brother Cai Jing were promoted to the top of the Jinshi in the same imperial examination.
In the fourth year of Shaosheng, Cai Bian promoted Shangshu Zuocheng, the official to the Privy Council, and oversaw the military power of the Northern Song Dynasty at that time, and was also one of the prime ministers of the Northern Song Dynasty at that time.
Cai Bian is an honest official, diligent and loves the people.
Cai Bian was famous for his political reputation, and the people knew that he was incorruptible and wanted to leave, so he saw him off with the most solemn etiquette sprinkled on his clothes with rose dew, which is recorded in the "History of the Song Dynasty": "Guangzhou treasures are gathered together, and nothing is taken." and migrated over, the people cleared it, and sent it with roses. ”
Cai Bian's reputation even spread to the Liao State, after Song Zhezong ascended the throne, Cai Bian was promoted to the Ministry of Rites, he sent an envoy to the Liao State, and the Liao people were quite famous.
Moreover, Cai Bian was deeply loved by Wang Anshi, the famous minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, and Wang Anshi even married his second daughter Xu to Cai Bian.
In other words, Wang Anshi is Cai Bian's father-in-law and Cai Ying's grandfather.
By the way, it is precisely because of Cai Bian's recommendation that Cai Jing can enter the core of the Fa-changing faction and become the current minister of power above 10,000 people under one person.
In this way, Cai is still properly born in a famous family.
It's a pity that Wang Anshi died more than 30 years ago, and Cai Ying's mother Wang died more than ten years ago, that is, Cai Ying's father Cai Bian died two years ago, and now Cai Ying's family is the only one left in his family.
Cai still came to Bianliang City, Tokyo because of this year's scientific expedition, and Cai Jing, Cai Ying's uncle, forcibly stayed in his Mingluan Hall on the grounds that "there is no shortage of places for you to live at home, so there is no need to live outside".
In other words, this is not Cai Ying's home, but Cai Jing's Taishi Mansion.
After figuring out his current identity and location, and trying out a lot of other things, Cai still accepted the fact that he had crossed over and came to the end of the Northern Song Dynasty.
This fact is really difficult for Cai to accept, but Cai still does not resist this fact, on the contrary, Cai is still very much looking forward to a wonderful life in the future.
Cai is still like this, naturally for a reason.
Cai was originally a farmer's child.
Because his family was poor and had no money for him to study, he dropped out of high school at the age of eighteen and joined the army before graduating.
Initially, he was just an ordinary naval recruit.
Later, because of his great combat talent and strong learning ability, he was selected into the Marine Corps step by step and became a feared frogman.
After serving in the frogman unit for five years, he rose to the rank of captain for his military merits and became the captain of the frogman squad - if it weren't for his lack of academic qualifications, with his military merits and understanding of combat, he might have been promoted to lieutenant colonel and become the captain of the frogman unit.
It can be said that his life before the age of twenty-five was both wonderful and smooth.
Until that year he went to Mali to participate in peacekeeping.
During one of his missions, he was hit by the aftermath of the explosion of an enemy self-detonating truck, flew out of a broken window on the sixth floor, and slammed into the ground.
That fall did not kill him, but made him a crippled man - his spine was shattered by five sections, his left leg was crushed and fractured, and after treatment, although he was not paralyzed and unable to take care of himself, he was basically disabled, and the state even issued him a disability certificate.
It's okay -
Because he was a combat hero and because he was disabled when he was on a mission, after Cai was still discharged from the army, the army gave Cai still a total of 1 million in three times, and gave Cai still a disability allowance of 2,000 per month.
To be honest, for Cai Ying, who later settled in a third-tier city, the money was enough for his own living.
But Cai was only twenty-six years old at the time, how could he be willing to retire like this?
But then again, with Cai's physical condition at the time, what could he do?
Unable to find anything capable, Cai can still only pass the time by reading online novels.
That's three or four years.
After reading too much, Cai still naturally thought: "Why don't I make a living by writing novels?" This line can do it with a head and a pair of hands. ”
Thinking of this, Cai still plunged headlong into the vast army of writers.
Many industries are like this, it looks simple, but when it's time to engage in it, you don't know how deep the water is.
When Cai still first came into contact with the industry of writing novels, he signed a contract, and he stuck Cai still for more than half a year - in order to sign a contract, in the opening of less than 20,000 words, Cai Liu wrote and deleted, deleted and wrote, and finally, he wrote and vomited, and the editor was moved by Cai Ying's persistence and signed Cai Zhen, making Cai still one of the millions of online authors.
Signing a contract is only the first step in writing, it can only prove that you can write a book, you can make money by writing a book, but whether you can make money or not has to be talked about.
Cai is still the first book, and he can only earn a pitiful 300 full attendance every month.
This book, Cai still wrote for a year and three months.
Cai is still the second book, earning 1,005 a month.
This book, Tsai still wrote for a year and eight months.
Cai Yi's third book can finally earn more than 3,000 per month.
But just when Cai still wanted to show his strength and write three to five million words, one day, Cai still turned on the computer, but was stunned to find that his book was gone.
After learning the hard way, Cai still decided to give up the sensitive subject matter he was good at, entered the relatively safe field of big history, and opened the fourth book in his life - a history book on the theme of Water Margin.
It was also the last book of his life.
The party is so terrible that even if there is even the slightest mistake, their artillery fire will be overwhelming.
In order not to be sprayed too hard, when Cai was still writing this fourth book, he carefully checked the information, carefully verified it, tried to conform to historical facts, and tried his best to let these research parties quell their flood power.
For this reason, Cai still even turned over the two important historical materials from the end of the Northern Song Dynasty to the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, "The Compilation of the Northern Alliance of the Three Dynasties" and "The Chronicle of the Years Since the Establishment of Yan".
It's a pity -
Probably because of his own level, this fourth book finally hit the street.
But even so, Cai still did his best to finish this book on the street.
The author's destiny is that life never stops, and writing does not stop.
Shortly after the fourth book was finished, Cai still began to prepare his fifth book.
Because he was familiar with the history of the Song Dynasty, especially the period from the end of the Northern Song Dynasty to the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, the fifth book prepared by Cai was still from this period.
For the sake of results, but also to make money, Cai still carefully sorted out the history of the Song Dynasty that he was already familiar with, hoping that the fifth book could turn him over.
However, the world is impermanent, and before a new book is uploaded, he crosses over......
