Chapter 5 Knowledge is Power
Out of the town office, there were already a few idle thugs to follow, these people were all broken in the town, following the fox and the fake tiger, and earning some food and pocket money.
Don't underestimate this section, in Cixi, there are really few people who dare to show their might on the street. Thinking about Li Ji's own deity, when he first came a year ago, he neither understood human accidents, nor did he have excellent force, especially since he had no one in his eyes, he was arrogant, and he was photographed with black bricks in less than a month, and Wei Guoguang was cheapened in vain.
In the past year, the freshman Li Ji has done several great things, six months ago he alone captured the cross-border thief Hua Daokou Single-edged, three months ago he led the villagers to resist the bandits of Zaktou Mountain, stabbing nineteen thieves, and yesterday's highlight performance of fighting for water with Wanghou Township, which made his status truly worthy of the word "upstream", of course, he was generous and people from all over the world did not need to be taught by people who had experienced him like this.
Out of the town office to the north, there is a flower alley not far away, several flower buildings in Cixi, the half-closed door is mostly concentrated here, a few people walked over, not thinking of a basin of foot washing water in the air splashed down, fortunately Li Ji is lightweight, will dodge, but it is inevitable that there are some water stains on the trouser legs.
"I took you pickled meat sellers, and your eyes grew to the buttocks!
Before Li Ji could speak, several of his helpers scolded the window, and the perpetrator upstairs had already closed the window and did not speak. A few idle thugs rolled their arms and sleeves to rush up to get people, this kind of thing is their favorite, not to mention the delicious food and drink, maybe it can be cheaper. Li Ji waved his hand to stop it, which made a few broken households itch.
Li Ji is not a good man with no temper, he knows his own family affairs, this basin of water is probably really coming to him, and he can even guess the person who splashes the water - Zhongxianglou Xiaotaoxian.
This is a bad debt left by the original owner to him, this guy came to Cixi for a few days, the situation has not been opened, but he hooked up with the smoke and dust woman Xiao Taoxian into a pair, the two of them stayed and flew together, and the good honey was blended with oil.
That little peach fairy was also seen by Li Ji later, he was in his teens, short and thin, and the fat on his face was thicker than the soles of his shoes, although he was a little bit beautiful, but he looked like a minor and made him not interested at all.
In this world, thinness is beautiful, and even bone is the best. The so-called fat ring and thin swallow, Li Ji actually likes women with plump pancreas, without it, at least, the fat and fat buttocks feel better than the skinny one, I don't know how much! So it's not that he pretends to be a saint, he really doesn't like it, this kind of place with three religions and nine streams, what can I do if I get sick again?
So he alienated her, but in the eyes of Xiao Taoxian, there was another explanation, and when he was arrested, he cried that Li Ji would not miss the old appearance when he was developed, and Li Ji was dumb and ate Yellow Lotus, and he couldn't say anything about his suffering. They are all hard-working people, weak women, could it be that they really went up and beat her?
Out of the flower lane not far, there is a big house, an old tree in front of the door, very strange, there are bursts of children's reading sounds, the idlers are clear about their own wandering temperament, have to sing and disperse. Li Ji straightened his clothes and slipped in gently through the corner door, he also came here to study, of course, not with the boys.
If Cixi Town talks about the abundance of books, there are three choices, Qiang Lao Xujihai, the richest man Wang Dahu, and the Ming Shitang in front of him. Books are very precious in this world, and ordinary people are running around all day long for life, so how can they have spare money to buy books.
Among the three families, although there are many books in the Qiang Lao Xuji Hai family, most of them are related to the imperial examination, it is useless to read, Wang Dahu Li Jiba can't stammer, he will not bow his head, only this Ming Shitang, its owner Mr. Zhu Lao is square and rigorous, knowledgeable, and is famous for his good reputation in Cixi.
In order to be able to enter the Ming Shitang to read, Li Ji did not work hard at the beginning, and the Zhu family was not short of money, so Li Ji took all the physical work of the Ming Shitang, such as carrying water, chopping wood, cleaning, changing tiles, etc., and worked for a month, and Mr. Zhu allowed him to read for two hours a day. Just reading books, not accepting apprentices, in Mr. Zhu's opinion, Li Ji is too vulgar, and rotten wood is also ......
Li Ji reads a lot of books, except for the imperial examination books, he reads everything. In particular, I like to read miscellaneous books such as the geography of mountains and rivers, customs and customs, biographies, historical dynasties, etc., in the words of Mr. Zhu, he is a fool who does not read anything except serious books. He doesn't understand Li Ji, for Li Ji, these miscellaneous books are the best window to understand the world.
Through reading for more than half a year, and constantly integrating his own memories, Li Ji also has a general understanding of the world.
This continent is called the Northern Regions Cold Continent, which is one of the seven continents of this heaven and earth, the Northern Regions Cold Continent is divided by Yunhan Tianling, roughly dividing the entire continent into two regions in the north and south, there are forty-three countries in the northern region and fifty-eight countries in the southern region.
Cixi's Nanli Country is one of the fifty-eight countries in the south, and through a lot of reading, Li Ji has learned a lot of things, but at the same time, he has a lot of questions, such as......
In the history of Li Ji's previous life, a dynasty would come to an end in a few hundred years, but here, thousands of dynasties abound, and the longest even reached three thousand years, which was unimaginable......
There are very few wars between countries, and hundreds of countries on a continent actually get along very well, all of them are pacifists?
The people's lives are relatively stable, and they may not be rich, but at least they don't seem to have starved to death anywhere, so how can this be managed? What about traitorous officials? What about black-hearted businessmen? What about land annexation? What about those rebels who "can take my place"? What about those heroes who "have a kind of king, and will be like Xiangning"?
Maybe Li Ji didn't see it comprehensively, after all, it was shallow on paper, and he hadn't had the opportunity to go out and really see the world, but a lot of things did confuse him, and he seemed to have missed something very important......
The two hours passed quickly in the sea of books, and at noon, Li Ji went straight to the next destination, Qian Ji Pharmacy, the largest pharmacy in Cixi.
He didn't buy medicine, but to learn the distribution of acupuncture points from the doctor. If the morning is to learn literature, then the afternoon is to learn martial arts, Qian Ji Pharmacy has the best sitting hall in Cixi, I heard that it is a holy hand in medicine who returned to his hometown from Shuangcheng in old age, and it is not a problem to teach some acupuncture knowledge.
At the end of the day, Li Ji lived a very fulfilling life, it was not the exhaustion of running for the car and house in his previous life, this kind of fulfillment made him feel that he was making progress every day, the sword was getting faster and faster, the internal strength was getting more and more abundant, and his understanding of the world and body was getting deeper and deeper, and he was preparing, ready to one day be able to explore the world fearlessly.
