It's another good day with high clouds and light clouds. In the back garden of the Yang Mansion, a wealthy merchant in Xinyang, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy lay lazily on a stone bench, enjoying the gentle autumn breeze and bathing in the warm and quiet sunshine.

"Ah Fu, how is the young master doing to you?"

"This ...... OK. ”

"Good is good, bad is bad. What's this? ”

"Young Master, what happened in the past...... Don't you remember? But in the month since you recovered, it has been really good for the villain. ”

"Hmm. You still have a little conscience. The young man sat up and took out a piece of silver, and shook it in front of the family named Ah Fu: "Then let you do something for me, no problem?" As long as you promise not to tell the master, the five taels of silver will be yours. ”

Ah Fu's eyes widened suddenly, but he didn't immediately reach out to take the silver, but asked vigilantly, "Young master, what do you want me to do?" ”

"It's simple." The young man took out something like a trick and stuffed it into him along with the silver: "You will be my enemy who is not in the same world, whether you stab or chop, even if you greet me, don't be soft." ”

Ah Fu was full of horror in broad daylight: what the young man gave him was a bright and sharp knife for sharpening bones! He has never killed a chicken in his life, so how dare he kill someone? …… What's more, this person is still the young master of the Yang Mansion?!

"Ah" screamed, threw the knife and silver, turned around and ran: "Master! Oh no! Young master, he's crazy again! ”

The young man said stupidly: "Coward! …… Fuck, you're crazy! ”

The boy's name was Yang Zhi, and although he didn't really like the new name, he had to be called Yang Zhi because everyone here called him that.

He was an undercover agent, and on that mission a month ago, in order to cover the retreat of his comrades, he was desperate to stay at the end. Unexpectedly, after waking up, he magically became Yang Zhi in this world.

Heaven is not kind to him. The identity of Yang Zhi is now the only fifteen-year-old son of Yang Yan, a wealthy merchant in Xinyang, and a glorious subject under the rule of the Great Xia Dynasty.

It is said that when Yang Zhi was ten years old, he fell seriously ill, and he had a high fever for several days in a row, and his brain was broken, and he became a fool who didn't know how to be hungry and full. A month ago, I accidentally fell into the pool in the back garden, and after I fished it up, I saw that I was out of breath, and I came back to life inexplicably, and it seemed that I was not stupid all of a sudden, but now it seems that it ...... It's not thorough yet. - Otherwise, how could Ah Fu say that he is crazy "again"?

Yang Zhi has reluctantly accepted the reality in front of him. Just now, he just wanted to carefully conduct an experiment to verify whether some strange abilities from his previous life still existed. Looking at his thin and immature body, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly: If you come, you will be safe. Fortunately, his current biological age is only fifteen years old, and he can completely practice the Hidden Dragon Sutra from scratch from memory, and he still has time to build himself into a super cow like in his previous life.

"Sincerely! Son! A fat old man who was as round as a leather ball ran over out of breath, and said with a worried face: "What's not fun at home, what are you doing with knives?" ”

Yang Zhi smiled: "Dad, I'm fine, don't worry." I'm teasing Ah Fu! ”

"It's okay, it's okay!" Yang Yan turned around and slapped Ah Fu, and scolded: "Young master, isn't this good?" What are you calling like a fool when you're dead? I finally moved Mr. Xu, and he promised to come tomorrow to teach the young master to read. If it reaches his ears and scares him away, see that I don't pick your skin! ”

"The young master obviously ...... just now." Ah Fu covered his face and defended his grievances, and when he saw Yang Yan's fat face sinking again, he hurriedly changed his words: "Master, Master Zhang of the county government is still waiting for you to reply in the front hall!" ”

Yang Yan said impatiently: "It's my business that the people don't have anything to eat? If I don't have anything to eat, who the will pity me? Tell the housekeeper to go to the account office to pay ten taels of silver, and send him away as soon as possible! ”

In the summer of the twenty-second year of Wucheng in the summer calendar, there was a great drought in Zhongzhou, and the hungry people were everywhere. In September, Emperor Xia issued an edict that Zhongzhou would be exempted from taxation for two years.

In the last years of the previous dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and all the towns of the former dynasties with a little strength stood up for themselves as kings and emperors. There are Great Xia and Northern Yan in the north, and Great Chu, Southern Tang and Wuyue in the south. The two countries of Great Xia and Southern Chu, which are the most powerful in China, are roughly equal in strength, and have won and lost each other in successive expeditions, and generally face off from north to south with the Yangtze River as the boundary.

Xinyang is only a few hundred miles away from the front line of the Xia Chu confrontation, and if there is a hunger riot within its jurisdiction, the Xinyang County Order will inevitably be unsafe. Therefore, on the one hand, the official warehouse was opened to release grain for disaster relief, and on the other hand, it was door-to-door to raise donations from wealthy businessmen like the Yang family. Yang Zhi's cheap father obviously has a bad character, and his reputation is naturally not much better. The county master sent the master to ask for it, but he still planned to pull it out.

Yang Zhi frowned and persuaded: "Dad, I'm afraid I can't donate it!" ”

"You know what......." His son has always been Yang Yan's biggest heart disease, so he was afraid of stimulating his son to make him sick, so he said loosely: "Then donate two stones of old grain." Ah Fu, remember it's old grain! ”

Yang Zhi shook his head and said, "Two stones are too few." Dad, this is not only a good thing to do good deeds and accumulate virtues, but also the face of the prince of Gu County, and it is also to protect the safety of my Yang family. Everyone has this account in their hearts, this time you are not generous and have more blood, and if you ask the county master for something next time, I'm afraid it will not be easy to speak. Also, hungry people can do anything. Once it spreads out and it has a bad reputation, as long as the hungry people take the risk to grab food, the first family will rob our Yang family! ”

Yang Yan really didn't think that far, and said, "It makes sense!" Staring at his son for a long time, he fell to his knees, looked at the sky excitedly and said, "God has eyes!" My family's illness has finally been cured! ”

Yilu got up and said loudly: "Go and tell Master Zhang: In addition to donating fifty stones of grain, my Yang family also set up a shed porridge in front of the door!" ”

Yang Yan has always been known for being stingy, and after Yang became ill and stupid, it was inevitable that some people would scold him behind his back for retribution. This time, because of his son's words, he was kind, but he won back a lot of image points for the Yang family.

Although Yang Zhi stepped into the ranks of the evil landlord class without paying attention, his ideals after coming to this world are very realistic, and even a little cowardly: in troubled times, safety comes first, and it is necessary to be a strongman like in his previous life. But he has no interest in being an official, nor does he plan to conquer the world by fighting and killing. Picking up a family business as big as a cheap Lao Tzu in vain, Shunshun should be the successor to be a rich man, and live a peaceful and comfortable life, how good it is!

After Yang Zhi's biological mother died of illness in her early years, Yang Yan continued to accept a few concubines, but there was no movement in the stomach of several concubines after that. Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, Yang Yan is still very willing to spend money on Yang Zhi's only seedling. After Yang became ill and stupid, his studies were naturally abandoned. Now he is not only sick, but he seems to be very smart. Yang Yan spared no expense for the sake of his son. Knowing that people made it clear whether they would slaughter him, or at a heavy price of ten taels of silver a day, he asked Xu Wenhan, the first genius of Xinyang Academy, to serve as his son's tutor.

Yang Zhi was definitely a studious person in his previous life, and it was not that he didn't want to study. But the line-bound books in the study are printed with vertical traditional characters without punctuation, and after reading it for less than ten minutes, there is already Venus dancing in front of me. Being a student of an old antique from a thousand years ago was uncomfortable, not to mention the living sin, and it wasted a lot of his time. What's especially hateful is that the bastard named Xu Wenhan is clearly knocking on his father's bamboo pole!

To his great surprise, Xu Wenhan was actually a young man in his early twenties, and he was dashing and dignified.

"Mr. Xu, what did you teach me today?"

"I heard Ling Zun say that Gongzi only studied for a few years before he was ten years old, and it has been a long time, and he must have forgotten it. I'll start from scratch with the "Three Character Classic"! ”

The "Three Character Classic" in this world is similar to the previous life, only some of the historical content is slightly different. Yang Zhi asked, "What does it mean to have learned?" ”

"The way to read is to be able to read, to be able to read, to be able to understand, and to be able to use."

Incisive enough! It looks like it's a bit genuine. Yang Zhi nodded and asked, "How long does Mr. plan to teach?" ”

"It varies from person to person. If you have good talent and are willing to work hard, you may be able to read it in a month. ”

"Then you can come back in a month. A month later, whatever Mr. Whatever came to test me. If I can't answer, three hundred taels of silver is a lot. If he can answer, he must be embarrassed to let his father break the bank. ”

Yang Zhi's words were faintly provocative, but Xu Wenhan didn't care at all, and there was a little more disdain in his eyes: "If it can be like this, it is the best." ”

Obviously, this guy not only has the problem of being pretentious and arrogant, but also probably has a bit of hatred for the rich. Yang Zhi smiled and said, "Sir, go slowly, forgive me for not going far." ”

This is equivalent to an eviction order, but Xu Wenhan is not in a hurry to leave, and calmly asks: "What is the matter with the child's study?" ”

Yang Zhi replied honestly: "Inherit the ancestral business, do business and accumulate wealth, and enjoy life." He asked, "What is the matter with the study?" ”

The color of disdain in Xu Wenhan's eyes became stronger, and he proudly said the standard answer: "Righteousness, self-cultivation, family, governing the country, and leveling the world." ”

Yang Zhi said with a smile: "Mr. has lofty ambitions, and students are ashamed of themselves. Life is unsatisfactory, otherwise there will be no poverty alone, and the world will be helped. As the saying goes, there is a golden house in the book, a thousand Zhongsu in the book, and Yan Ruyu in the book. The student's current family background is acceptable, and if the son can inherit his father's business, he must not need to look for these many things in the book. I take Tao Zhugong as my idol and my goal as an auspicious life. Although he has no ambitions, he can barely be regarded as a standalone, I wonder if Mr. thinks so? ”

These words made Xu Wenhan speechless for a while, and there was no arrogance in his expression. asked noncommittally: "How old is the childe?" ”

"Fifteen."

Xu Wenhan stared at him for a long time, then nodded slowly: "Since the son has such insight, why does he need Xu's teaching?" Ling Zun's generosity to help the hungry should also be caused by the persuasion of the son. Xu Moufang actually regarded his son as an ordinary Mengtong, but he was laughing and generous. However, there is no end to learning, and I hope that my son must not make mistakes. - Farewell. ”

After seeing Xu Wenhan leave, Yang Zhichang breathed a long sigh of relief: Lian bluffed and took Meng away after finally fooling him away, and he should be able to do his own thing with confidence in the future.
