Chapter 3: Plan ahead

Nowadays, there are more and more new universities in the empire, but there are not many students who can go to famous universities like "Soochow University", and it can even be said that students who can go to famous universities in the empire are either rich or expensive, as long as they know that the tuition fee of this university is more than 300 silver dollars a year, it has almost turned away all poor students.

It is really because the income of ordinary people in this era is pitifully low, even the annual income of local residents in the imperial capital is less than 200 silver dollars, of which the most basic food expenses alone will cost more than 100 silver dollars, and the rest of the money can only save a dozen silver dollars at most throughout the year.

The rickshaw driver who pulled the rickshaw in the imperial capital, no matter how clever and capable he was, and he earned a penny and saved a penny, and his net income was much higher than that of the peasants on the outskirts of the city, but he could only save fifty or sixty silver dollars at most without rest all year round......

It can only be said that the working people of capitalist and imperialist countries are really very poor, and all kinds of child labor from working people's families are very common in the Chinese empire, but as the empire has more and more colonies, the government is more inclined to enslave and exploit the people of other countries and divert domestic contradictions.

Therefore, this hard-won opportunity to go to college, Wang Defu must cherish it, and when he graduates from college, then he will not have to worry about going anywhere with his graduation certificate from this university, and the network resources accumulated in the school are enough for him to use.

However, in order to continue to go to college, he has to bow his head to his family and accept the arranged marriage, Wang Defu is absolutely unwilling, even if he starves to death and jumps from the dormitory building, he doesn't want to be with a woman who has never met or even read at all, in his previous life, he was extremely reluctant to go on a blind date, and pursued the so-called soul fit, he didn't think that he could become a soul mate with a woman who could accept an arranged marriage.

These three views are completely different, how can they fall in love together, make do without falling in love, and get married soon, he thinks it's a terrible thing.

After analyzing his own situation, Wang Defu felt that there was only one way to go in front of him now, and that was - to make money!

No matter what era it is, whether it is a man or a woman, only when you are truly financially independent can you not be controlled by others and live your own wonderful life.

Since he has come to this era for some reason, he has to do something great and even realize his ideals that he has gradually dared not hope for, and the people of this world may need his words to show the way, which is probably the ultimate goal of literature.

When he appears on an entry similar to "Baidu Encyclopedia", he will use terms such as "writer", "thinker", "philosopher", "historian" and so on to describe him.

Great people live for a lifetime, and what they pursue is not to leave a name in history?

What can make Wang Defu have such confidence, of course, is his two memories of no matter how big or small, in the memory of being a history teacher in his previous life, there are countless classics, in this life as a top student of the Department of Philosophy of Soochow University, he can also be regarded as a rich student, when the two are combined, he feels that he is really not fighting alone!

Wang Defu first found out all his current property according to his memory, a total of more than 20 silver dollars, the imperial silver dollar carved is the head of Taizu Zhao Guangyao, so it is also commonly known as "Zhao Datou", an ordinary family of four or five, only spend eleven silver dollars a month, so this money is enough for Wang Defu to spend three to four months, and now look at the posture of the family, as long as he does not go back to get married, he will never give him living expenses, he must find a way to make money in these three to four months.

Of course, it is impossible to work part-time, and it is impossible to work in this life, and the working people of this imperialist country are absolutely living in dire straits, and whether they are peasants or workers, they will always be the objects of exploitation by the landlords and capitalists.

Wang Defu is a landlord in his own family, and he also controls the grain and rice lines in the town, whether it is a bumper harvest or a bad harvest, the peasants will never make any money, Ye Shengtao's "Overcharged Three or Five Buckets" is also the truest portrayal of this era in this world, the country is strong, but it does not mean how happy the ordinary people of this country are, they may not be able to enjoy the dividends brought by the country's strength at all, and even because they can at least eat together, and they can't have the idea of resisting, people can't live and can't live, how can they rebel?

The word "imperialism" is really not a good word, and when I see that "the motherland is so hooligan, I am relieved", when the magnates in the motherland are also so domineering and hooligans in the motherland, you will know what the country that should really be supported should be like, and it should be a country where the real working people are the masters of the country.

Compared with labor, making money through culture and knowledge is the road to prosperity.

This is an era of emancipation of the mind and cultural tolerance, the status of literati and scholars is particularly high, and the high manuscript fees of writers have always been the envy of ordinary people. Instead of being like Wang Defu used to be in the world, when others heard that you were writing novels, they immediately laughed, and the average income of authors is really not as good as that of food delivery......

Maybe a country is strong, the face project of cultural propaganda is particularly important, and culture is also a means of conquest, to castrate a country, a nation, just make a fuss about culture, in the same way, when a country's culture is self-contained, it will be very difficult to completely conquer the whole country.

Although the Chinese Empire is hegemonic for a while, Western European civilization is still not weak, and they have united to form a superpower called the "Brittany Empire", which has its own cultural system and has a great cultural impact on the Chinese Empire.

Anyway, the whole world is divided between these two empires, and many small countries are basically vassals, protectorates and even colonies of these two empires.

On the surface, the two countries seem to be seriously antagonistic, but in fact, there are frequent exchanges and marriages between the magnates of the two countries.

At this time, Wang Defu remembered his identity as a traditional writer and a senior reader of online novels in his previous life, and he felt that he should pick up his pen again, and at the same time temporarily put down his lofty bones as a traditional writer, and first write something more commercial to cater to readers of this era, and make money for living expenses in advance.

Before writing, he certainly had to fully investigate and prepare.
