Liu Bei's plan to change his life against the sky unsurprisingly failed.

In the face of Liu Bei, who wielded the three-plate axe of the traverser, the Eastern Han society did not hesitate to strike hard, instead of his mother to teach Liu Bei to be a man.

The success of three consecutive heavy punches allowed Liu Bei to receive an education from the social university, but also caused his spirit to fall into a downward trend, so that he began to doubt his so-called prophetic advantage.

But that's not necessarily a bad thing.

At least these three heavy blows made him begin to focus on reality, to truly understand the bottom society of the Eastern Han Dynasty, instead of pursuing the ethereal fame of the world, and the whole person gradually got rid of the impetuousness that he desperately wanted to get rid of the poor life at the beginning.

During that time, he was really impetuous.

The main reason is that I can't stand that kind of pure poverty.

The millet that is the staple food at home has a bad taste, and Liu Bei, who still remembers the taste of rice in the Northeast, feels very uncomfortable and difficult to swallow every time he eats it.

There are no hot stews and stir-fried vegetables to eat, and the only thing that can be eaten is the pickled vegetable stalks that have long been unable to see their original appearance, which are hard and bitter, and the astringent feeling makes him almost nauseous, which is even more uncomfortable.

It's really unpalatable, it's unpalatable.

But if he didn't eat these things, he would starve to death, and a strong feeling of hunger was the best admonition, and he had to endure it, and he had to force himself to accept it.

In this process of gradual acceptance, he also accepted the fact that he would be in this state of poverty for a period of time, and gradually ceased to be impetuous.

He realized that even if it was Uncle Liu Huang, it would take more than 50 years to become the emperor, and what he had experienced in the past 50 years or so might be the reason why he was able to be the emperor.

Later, he knew that his background was not low among the Liu clan in Zhuo County, Zhuo County, at least it was definitely not grassroots.

His grandfather Liu Xiong was once promoted to filial piety, made a county order, or a big county county order, and ranked a thousand stones, but unfortunately died early and failed to climb further, or there was no chance to become a county guard of two thousand stones, and did not further raise Liu Bei's family to a higher level.

In this era when the upward channel is extremely narrow, if you don't advance, you will retreat.

Liu Xiong failed to lead the family up, and as soon as he died again, the Liu family naturally fell into class.

So when it was Liu Bei's father's turn Liu Hong, he could only rely on Liu Xiong's little Yu Ze to mix with the lowly position of a local official, barely being a humble middle class of the Han Dynasty.

If you want to go further, the best chance is to get the appreciation of your superiors, so that you can be selected as [Lian] in the process of raising filial piety and honesty, and then you will have the opportunity to be an official.

It's a pity that Liu Hong didn't wait for this opportunity, and died in his twenties, leaving orphans and widows.

So the Liu family couldn't even guarantee the false middle class, so they landed hard, gnawed a mouthful of yellow mud, and lost their dignity.

According to her mother's recollection of the past, when she first married into the Liu family, that is, when Liu Bei's grandfather Liu Xiong was still alive, the Liu family was also a quite decent official family, and the family had land and servants.

Who would have thought that in just three or five years, two men would die one after another.

After the two funerals, the small family collapsed.

Grandpa can't fight, and dad can't fight, Liu Bei and his mother can only rely on their own hands to weave mats and sell shoes to support themselves.

For this job, Liu Bei's mother, son, orphans and widows are still seen in the clan, so they are assigned to manage them, which can barely be regarded as small and micro enterprises and self-employed.

At this time, I really saw the benefits of clan gathering and huddling together for warmth, if it weren't for the fact that the Liu clan in Zhuo County still had a little heritage, Liu Bei's family was afraid that they would have slipped directly from the middle class into mules and horses.

Because of the early death of their grandfather and father, they were unable to further consolidate the family business and pass it on to Liu Bei, because he was too young to inherit any of his father's connections, so the family was no different from the grassroots.

The house is gone, the land is gone, the servants are gone.

But in the midst of despair, Liu Bei, who gradually fell silent and was no longer impetuous, keenly discovered a key point.

He is eligible for basic education.

The Liu clan in Zhuoxian County has its own simple clan science, and there are no classics to teach, but it is not too much of a problem to teach the children of the clan to read and write.

It is not that there are no wealthy families in the clan, and some families who are better at running businesses or managing land will be wealthier.

Wealthy families often take out some income to help poor clansmen, and donate to the clan school, so that the clan study can be opened, which can be regarded as charity.

Liu Bei mastered reading and writing skills at a young age under the guidance of his father and clan studies.

When teaching reading and writing skills, the elders in the clan science once reprimanded some young children who were not serious, saying that those who can read and write are one in a hundred in the Han Dynasty, and they will regret dying in the future if they don't work now.

This is obviously a bit exaggerated, but Liu Bei has consulted some information, the entire Eastern Han Dynasty has a population of more than 50 million, and the most optimistic estimate is that the literacy rate will not exceed 8 percent.

More than 90 percent of the population is illiterate, and the vast majority of the remaining 8 percent of the literate population are only literate and not illiterate.

Those who can receive book knowledge education above reading and writing are also an absolute minority in these eight percent, and they are the absolute elite class in the late Han Dynasty, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

But in any case, as one of the eight percent of the population of the Han who mastered reading and writing skills, Liu Bei was already standing on the head of ninety-two percent of the people, even if he had nothing.

This cruel fact made Liu Bei tremble.

He is already one of the top 8 percent of the population in this society, and it is still difficult to eat bran vegetables, but he can't starve to death, so what kind of state does the remaining 90 percent live in?

What kind of astonishing poverty and misery are they experiencing?

Are the so-called "toiling masses" he came into contact with in the Liu clan settlement really the real toiling masses in the late Eastern Han Dynasty?

This was the first time he had seriously thought about his rebirth since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

But such thinking could not change his situation at that time.

Liu Bei's family was once the best branch of the Liu clan in Zhuo County, and there were many officials, but after Liu Xiong and Liu Hong died one after another, some clansmen who had good friends with Liu Bei's family in the past also alienated Liu Bei's family.

To this day, only Liu Bo, a businessman, still often helps Liu Bei's family because of his friendship with Liu Hong in the past, and sometimes when Liu Bei's family is poor and can't open the pot, he barely survives by relying on the rice and grain he sent, so that the mother and son will not starve and freeze.

When he first came to the end of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei had the ambition to change his life against the sky, and then he was defeated by a hungry stomach.

Ambition is no match for a bowl of food, and when you are hungry, you can only think about eating, and then think about what you can eat at the next meal, and nothing else.

The vision was severely limited by hunger.

After the traverser's three-plate axe was swung out without any effect, after the excitement faded, hunger took over the mainstream consciousness.

Liu Bei could only reluctantly shelve his plan to change his life, chose to bow his head and admit the reality, took the initiative to learn to weave straw mats and straw sandals with his mother, and then picked them out to sell.

He lived a life expecting to be able to sell more straw sandals and straw mats in order to buy more food and eat a few more mouthfuls of food, and became a street vendor at the bottom of the society and on both sides of the street.

He thought he was already realistic, but he still underestimated it.

In this era, it is no less difficult for a poor person to become less poor or even be able to eat a full stomach than it is for modern people to buy a lottery ticket and win the jackpot.

Since then, Liu Bei and his mother have been struggling to get up and down the food and clothing line, unable to eat or starve, and doing their best is the same, nothing has changed.

What I thought was unpalatable at the beginning is no longer unpalatable, and even a little delicious, and after eating a meal, I look forward to the next meal every moment.

Because there was no oil and water in the food, and there were many things to do and tired, Liu Bei always felt hungry prematurely, and after a bowl of food, he couldn't last long before he was hungry again.

When he was awake, he spent more than half of his time feeling hunger clearly, recalling the fried chicken, hamburger, Coke and fries in his previous life sadly, and thinking of the sad place, which was swallowed with tears and saliva.

But his current home really doesn't have any extra food to eat.

He started complaining constantly, and then he stopped complaining.

Because the mother who loved him dearly had done her best, she ate less and made more, and at the age of her twenties, she looked like a middle-aged woman in her forties.

Progeria is here.

So, like his mother, he could only choose to go to bed early, and he could go to bed when the sun went down, because he wouldn't feel hungry when he fell asleep.

Such a state makes Liu Bei have no time and physical strength to think about other plans to change his life against the sky, commonly known as - he has done his best to be alive.

He could only think about it for a moment when he had just eaten and was not so hungry, thinking about how the real Liu Bei had succeeded in breaking the situation in this situation.

Can this endless hard work and despair really make him succeed in breaking the game?

Yes, he succeeded.

Liu Bei succeeded.
