Chapter 5 Reflections on the Future

yes, it's too poor.

With an income of just over 100 yuan a month, Sun Yuan doesn't think that such a life will have any quality. I think that when he was working in the capital, he didn't have to pay for the building, how much money he had to spend, and the cost of a meal was enough for his mother to work hard for two months.

Of course, there is no comparison between this and this.

It doesn't make any sense to mention the past, just let it pass. The key now is not to dominate the world and lay a big harem as written in those alternate historical novels. The most important thing now is to improve her life, so that mothers who have worked hard all their lives will no longer be tormented by poverty.

Sun Yuan's first thought was to do business, but he quickly dispelled this idea. First of all, you have to have the capital to do business. Today, my mother's monthly income from selling mats is only a few dozen yuan, what can I do with this money. Moreover, the status of merchants in the Ming Dynasty was very low. The so-called scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants, merchants are the last in line. No matter how big your business is, you have to kneel down and say hello when you see a small county order. The county order that raided the house, the prefect who destroyed the door, you have no status, if you have a little money, it is a fat pig that everyone wants to slaughter.

As far as he knew, most of the business in this era was in the hands of famous families and big landlords and bureaucrats. Many big businessmen are either the children of big families, or they are directly scholars, you are an ordinary person, it's okay to do a little business, if the business is big, people can pinch you to death in minutes.

Therefore, if you want to live well in this world, you can't be without power. And if you want to have power, you have to be an official. Judging from the 5,000-year history of China, in the final analysis, it is an official-based society.

As long as you have power at hand, money is not an issue at all.

Then, there is only one way to go in front of Sun Yuan: to be an official.

Only by being an official can you change your life and let your family live a good life.

The official positions of the Ming Dynasty were divided into two types: civil officials and military attachés, and military attachés were basically hereditary, and Sun Yuan was not a military household, so he naturally couldn't squeeze in. Then, for an ordinary person, if he wants to be a civil official, he can participate in the imperial examination, as long as he is admitted to a person, he can become a scholar and have the qualifications to be an official. Even if it is a small county, or even a county, it is also a hundred miles of Hou, which can profoundly affect the lives of the people in a county.

However, after thinking about it, Sun Yuan quickly dispelled this idea.

To become a civil official, you must first take the imperial examination. In fact, with the true level of Sun Yuan, a famous student graduate, he can at least reach the level of ancient talent.

In fact, Sun Yuan in his previous life studied Chinese, and it is said that after crossing over to the Ming Dynasty, he was also a professional counterpart.

However, in modern society, Chinese major is not only the study of the four books and the absence of scriptures, as for ancient Chinese, it is only one of the disciplines. To tell the truth, he is still a layman when it comes to Chinese studies.

I don't understand Chinese studies, but now I want to learn it?

No, the ancient knowledge system and the modern society are two different concepts. When you are enlightened, you first memorize the Four Books and the Five Classics backwards, and if you make a mistake, you will make a big joke. Sun Yuan doesn't think he has the ability to forget.

Well, even if he memorizes all the Confucian classics, it won't work. The examination in the imperial examination is eight-strand essays, and they are all made according to Zhu Xi's annotations. Sun Yuan has no problem reading ancient texts, but on a whim when he was in college, he also imitated the format of Baguwen to do a few small questions, but if that kind of article is placed in the ancient science field, to be honest, Sun Yuan does not have any confidence.

Even if he studies hard and learns from scratch from now on, his family does not have enough financial resources to support him. Reading is a very expensive thing, and in many cases, it depends on the strength of the family. And Sun Yuan's family is an outsider, and there are no relatives here.

Besides, such a thing as studying for the imperial examination is not something that can be done in the examination room in three days or two days to produce benefits. The ten-year cold window is light, and many people have read books all their lives, and their fame will come to an end.

Ten years later, the Ming Dynasty no longer exists, and you still go there to take the exam?

Sun Yuan now wants to enter the system in the shortest possible time and change the life of himself and his family. As for the fall of the Ming Dynasty ten years later, it is not something he should worry about at this moment.

Since these roads couldn't be walked, Sun Yuan couldn't think about it for a while, so he had to shake his head with a wry smile, looked at his thin arm again, and muttered: "No matter what I do in the future, I must always have a strong body, and say something ugly." Even if this place becomes a battlefield in the future, if you have a good body, you can run faster than others if you run for your life. For now, let's take care of your body! ”

In the following days, Sun Yuan buried his messy thoughts in his heart and was busy in the field with his mother all day long.

My mother was a diligent woman, who not only planted three acres of land, but also planted a lot of beans by the river. It takes a lot of time to plant, weed, and weave mats.

After more than ten days of hard work, the mat grass in the field has been cut home and dried.

My mother also knitted more than a dozen mats and went into the city to sell them for a few hundred dollars.

With the money, the mother's face showed a long-lost smile and carefully tucked away in the crockpot under the bed. said that it would be time to pay the national tax on the emperor's grain after a while, and I don't know how many will be left. However, as long as you save a little, you can always save some. After two years, it's time to tell you a daughter-in-law. In this way, it can be regarded as a home.

After this period of hard work, the wrinkles on his mother's face deepened, and when he saw the pitiful copper coin in the crockpot, Sun Yuan's heart was sour, and he couldn't speak.

He almost couldn't help but shout: I'll talk about the daughter-in-law's affairs later, is there any meaning in starting a family on such a day? Even if there is a woman who is willing to suffer with my Sun Yuan, I can't bear it!

Labor is a good thing, at least in Sun Yuan's opinion. First of all, he almost doubled the amount of food he ate and his arms were thicker.

Probably because of Rugao's feng shui to raise people, although Sun Yuan still looks very thin now, the whole person is full of energy, compared with the same month ago, it seems to be a different person.

After the mat grass was cut, Sun Yuan's family finished their farm work this year, and it was the slack season. However, the rice in the field is ripe, and there are farmers harvesting rice everywhere, and they are busy.

Sun Yuan rarely had free time, and his stomach was full of brown rice and vegetarian vegetables during this time, without a little oil and water. I made a shrimp rake and went to the river to fish to improve my life.

As soon as I left the village, I saw a middle-aged man walking over with his chest up.

Seeing his appearance, Sun Yuan frowned and stopped.

This man was wearing a black robe, his body was a little fat, and he walked with a high toe, whirring and whirring, and he looked like a man of great style.

It's a pity that he gave birth to a pair of triangular eyes, and a trivial light flashed in his eyes from time to time, which was very damaging to his image.

Sun Yuan had recently absorbed seventy percent of the memories of the original owner of his body, and naturally recognized this person as the one who forced his mother to send the land to him on the day he first woke up.
