4. I want to read, but it's as hard as climbing to the sky

However, this is easier said than done.

How can I study?

Zhao Xuanqi stood up and wandered back and forth in the temple, constantly thinking about everything.

He clearly knows that reading is a burden for ordinary people, reading is a luxury, paper, pen, inkstone and other things are very expensive, and it is difficult for ordinary people to change a piece of paper a day!

Those pieces of paper that can be written are rare in the village, and every piece of paper in the family can be blown into the sky and can be shown off in front of the neighbors.

In this era, paper represents Wenqu Xing, but it is a rare thing, and it can be touched by talent, and ordinary people are not worthy of touching it.

The landlord's family can occasionally eat a meal of meat, but it is difficult to support a full-time student, which shows the high difficulty of reading.

"Scholars can only study seriously all the time, have no time to work, rely on others to raise them, during which they have to buy note paper, they have to find books to study, find teachers, if they can't get famous, then they have to be raised all the time......"

Zhao Xuanqi frowned.

As far as he knew, Zhaojia Village, including several surrounding villages, could not find one or two scholars, everyone was very poor, and if the villagers wanted to study, they had to go to the county seat more than ten miles away and pay a large sum of money to study in the academy to find a master.

One of the nearby villagers is counted as one, and several villages are combined, and none of the children are studying in the academy!

In this poor environment, if you want to study, you must obtain the consent of more than 100 households in the entire Zhaojia Village, and everyone will contribute money to support him, so that he can have a chance!

"I have a talent for unforgettable, plus the ancient poems and ancient words of countless celebrities in my previous life can be plagiarized, in this ancient society, as long as I can study, I can definitely get ahead!"

Zhao Xuanqi occasionally listened to the passing merchants tell the history, and also went to the city with the hunter to do things, heard the passers-by discuss some poems, history and all kinds of new things, and knew that this world is similar to the parallel world of China, the ancient poems are almost the same, but there are no poets in the previous life, he can plagiarize!

Coupled with the talent of not forgetting the eye, there is a way out for reading!

His eyes flickered, and his heart was scheming.

In the following days, Zhao Xuanqi continued to devote himself to life as if he had forgotten about reading.

The difference is that he is like a different person, and he has become more busy.

Enthusiastically help the villagers to work every day, take the initiative to be busy, the family is long and the family is short, take the initiative to do things, big and small things are absolutely present, and help Zhang Luo in red and white things.

And when he meets the villagers, he will greet them warmly, pay attention to the health of the elders, and love his younger brothers and sisters.

When some villagers encounter some problems, such as arithmetic problems or logical thinking problems, Zhao Xuanqi will also take the initiative to solve them, showing a smart and clever side, which is praised by others.

Whether you need him or not, Zhao Xuanqi will be there!

Gradually, he became an indispensable person in the village, accumulating over time, his reputation continued to rise, and the villagers would smile when they saw Zhao Xuanqi, treating him as a real family member, and occasionally there was meat and other delicious things, and they would take the initiative to give Zhao Xuanqi a copy.

Once, Zhao Xuanqi caught a cold, and many villagers were so panicked that they were afraid that Zhao Xuanqi would die of a cold, and they came to visit each family and were very concerned about Zhao Xuanqi's body.

And just like that, a year passed.

On this day, Zhao Xuanqi thought that the time had come, he stopped his busy work, packed up his appearance, dressed neatly and decently for the first time, and knocked on the door of the village chief with carefully planned ideas.

The village chief is an old man in his fifties, and in this ancient time, when the average life expectancy was only about forty years old, this is already a long-lived person, and he has the highest status in the village.

"Zhao Xuanqi, it's you kid, have you eaten? If I don't eat it, I still have some cakes at home......" The village chief enthusiastically pulled Zhao Xuanqi into the door.

For the name "Zhao Xuanqi", the village chief also felt very novel, one day, "Zhao Yecao" suddenly enlightened, took such a name, let the village people call him so.

"Village chief, I'm not hungry, I'm just asking you for one thing......" Zhao Xuanqi saw that the village chief's family was not at home, only the old man was there, so he spoke decisively.

"What's the matter?"

"I want to read!"

"As long as it's not too difficult, I'll promise you, and I'll promise you your things...... What?! You say you're going to read? The village chief was halfway through his speech when he suddenly reacted.

The old man looked at Zhao Xuanqi dumbfounded, suspecting that his ears had misheard.

If it weren't for Zhao Xuanqi helping him a lot these days, the old village chief would have picked up crutches and chased people away!

Zhao Xuanqi was serious, and said again seriously: "Yes, I want to study, I don't want to work in the farmland all my life, and I won't have enough food and clothing for the rest of my life!" ”

Zhao Xuanqi has been doing his duty all these years, not making any excessive requests, honest and modest and polite, if it is a small matter, the village chief is also willing to help, but it is actually a study......

Isn't that a joke? It's just whimsical!

The village chief raised his head and was about to reprimand, but looking at the light in the eyes of the young man in front of him, this light was like a flame, it was burning, he was stunned for a while, and finally knew that this young man was serious.

"My family is also poor, although I can eat enough, but it is better than ordinary villagers, how can I support you to study? Reading is something that big people do, and we villagers can't do it at all......"

"I want the village chief to find a way to help me borrow some money to support me in my studies, as long as I get ahead in my studies, I can become an official and become a master, I will repay everyone, and everyone will have a better life in the future!"

"You're crazy, unless the whole village lends you money, there's not enough money to send you to the academy, and you're sure you can read books? Are you sure you'll be able to get famous? Only Wenqu Xing can read and write, and we ordinary people have no blessing in our lives, so we can only farm and work hard......"

"I'm sure I'll be famous!" Zhao Xuanqi replied very seriously.

The village chief blurted out: "Impossible..."

Halfway through his words, he immediately shut up.

In the past year, Zhao Xuanqi has been very smart, all kinds of arithmetic can be easily solved, and many people in the village can't calculate the number in a day together, and Zhao Xuanqi can figure it out in a few breaths.

The village chief was extremely sure that Zhao Xuanqi had not learned arithmetic, and no one had taught him, which meant that Zhao Xuanqi was born with great arithmetic!

Moreover, Zhao Xuanqi's way of speaking and doing things is very organized, and he can always think of ways that no one can think of, unlike other villagers who are ignorant and ignorant.

After analysis, the village chief felt that Zhao Xuanqi was indeed very smart, the smartest person he had ever seen, and if he was allowed to study, it was really possible to succeed, but it was only a glimmer of possibility.

It is impossible for him to let the whole village tighten their belts and send Zhao Xuanqi to study for the sake of this possibility, which is tantamount to a fantasy.

I don't know how many people in the world read, but what is the result? Countless people can't even pass the exam, let alone get famous? You must know that many people in their thirties and forties can't even pass the level of childhood!

The village chief sighed and clearly refused: "The taxes imposed by the imperial court are too heavy, everyone's life is very difficult, and there is no extra money, I can't send you to study..."

Zhao Xuanqi did not give up, but said all his thoughts.
