Chapter 3: The Sorrow of the Youth

Young and sorrowful, standing on the stone on the top of Huyang Mountain, facing the golden sun and breeze, his brows wrinkled into a Sichuan character, the first time he arrived, he fused the body memory of the master, so that he had some understanding of his own situation, and the result was - very poor

It's a big difference!

Ning Caichen is a native of Chenxian County, Sanchuan County, under the rule of the Liang Dynasty, and is now eighteen years old, a scholar, and a scholar from a poor family! The fall of the Qin Dynasty and the restoration of a hundred schools, especially the comeback of Confucianism, have promoted the re-emergence of scholars, and the threshold for martial arts training is high.

It is difficult for most people to achieve great achievements in their lifetime, and the threshold for cultivating the Tao is even higher, and it is difficult to get started!

But people are thoughtful and ambitious creatures, and they all want to climb to high places, and cultivating the Tao and practicing martial arts to get a good skill is undoubtedly the best way out, but such a road is too difficult to walk.

On the contrary, it is to read, the threshold is low, the public is some, and it is favored by many people with lofty ideals, as long as you work hard, there is a rush, you may be promoted, enter the court, and from then on, the official uniform is added, ranking among the powerful, and as long as there is a rush, people have motivation, and therefore, read

The style of books is prevalent, and there are countless scholars in the world, and Ning Caichen is one of them - a scholar from a poor family!

The so-called humble scholars, to say a little better, called literati, to say a little bad, is a poor scholar, and it is the kind that can't see the future, at least the current Ning Caichen does not see any hope of getting ahead, today, although the style of reading is prevalent, but

There is no systematic system of reading and selecting materials, that is, something similar to the liberal arts, and most of the current scholars are recommended as officials by local officials or prestigious people from prestigious families, similar to promoting filial piety, and the number of places is scarce, and there are only 20 in a county a year

quota, but how many people are in a county, according to what I remember, is the Sanchuan County, which has the smallest number of the four counties in Liang State, that is, the county where Ning Caichen is located, has a total number of more than 30 million, and there are millions of readers, and there are twenty for millions of people, not to mention these names

It is still recommended by a wealthy family!

The recommendation of these wealthy families is naturally centered on their own interests, and it is almost impossible for them, the children of poor families, who have no identity background, to have the opportunity to be recommended! Of course, scholars do not have to enter the court to become officials in order to have a way out, and they can also go to some high-ranking officials

People are guests in the mansion, strategists, but this is also very difficult, generally want to get the favor of those dignitaries, in addition to real talent and real learning, but also famous, if there is no fame, you may not see each other, not to mention that the competition is also very big!

sighed in his heart, Ning Caichen was a little helpless, this is the limitation of the background of the times, he doesn't know what to say, is the original owner of his body doing it wrong, he may not be able to get ahead after studying for a lifetime, but if he doesn't read, he may not even have any hope,

However, Ning Caichen's comments on his current situation are useless, he is a scholar!

In reading, Ning Caichen admires the perseverance of the original owner of the body, and the original owner of the body is indeed talented, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is full of economy, but if he wants to say anything else, he doesn't dare to compliment, just say that the current life situation is also very embarrassing, Mr. Ning Caichenyuan

The life is quite solid, the parents run a restaurant, eat well, dress warmly, in such a war era, it is undoubtedly not easy, but since four years ago, his parents went to the field to do business, encountered grass Kou, and never came back, Ning Caichen inherited the restaurant, but there was no business

In less than a year, the restaurant closed down, and then life became more and more embarrassing!

To this day, stumbling and stumbling, he has already lived a life of having meals and no meals, in such a situation, the original owner of the body still insists on reading day and night, which makes Ning Caichen sigh, I don't know if I admire the perseverance of the original owner of the body, or should I scold him for studying!

From a new person to this strange world, although he fused the memories of the original owner, his thoughts were not affected much, and he maintained his usual calm and rationality!

When he came to the new world, the first thing to do was naturally to find a way to live, this is Ning Caichen's top priority, his family knows his own family affairs, Ning Caichen knows very well that his current life is already embarrassed and eating is a problem, except for him, at home

There is still Ning Shan, who is about the same age as him, was picked up by Ning Caichen's parents when he was alive, named Ning Shan, Ning Shan was seven years old when he picked it up, and then he has been living in the Ning family, acting as the identity of the Ning family, Ning Shan is faithful, and he is grateful for the kindness of Ning's father and mother, even if it is now

In the embarrassment of the Ning family, he also stayed in the Ning family, never abandoned, and even the life of these years was Ning Shan into the mountains to cut vegetables and sell them for a living!

However, the income from selling firewood is limited, and two meals on weekdays are not guaranteed!

The thoughts in his head were flying, and it was difficult for the Qiao woman to cook without rice, and soon, Fang Ming understood what he had to do now!

Two words - make money!

Only by making money can you change your current life status quo and live a life in the 21st century, although Ning Caichen is not rich and expensive, but he also has no worries about food and clothing, and he also travels from time to time to enrich his life, and now it has become a problem to eat three meals all of a sudden, which

It's okay, it's enough for people to be mixed like this, and now that the weather is getting colder, it's about to enter the harsh winter wax moon!

In his memory, the Ning family didn't have a quilt, and the winter in Chenxian County was very cold, a few degrees below zero or even a dozen degrees, and freezing to death was not a new thing, he didn't know how the original owner of the body survived a few years ago, but he knew that if he wasn't ready this year

Only by making money can we solve the current problem of food and clothing, can we prepare things for the winter, and can we survive this winter! Making money is a top priority and solves the current situation

, to ensure that he can survive, Ning Caichen can also make the next step, in this troubled world, it is not easy to survive!

But how to make money, it's not easy, now it can be said to be poor and white, if you want to make money, most of it is the method of empty gloves and white wolves, that is, the cost is particularly low, but what to do is a problem, standing for a while, Ning Caichen thought of two, one

It was to go into the mountains to chop firewood or hunt and then take it to the market to buy it, but after looking at his somewhat weak body, Ning Caichen sighed, he really doubted that he could carry fifty catties of things;

Nowadays, there is already paper, but there is no printing, and there are not a few readers, books are in short supply, so there is a book copying industry, but this thing is not easy to get, a book two copper coins, a day about a copy of a little more, can copy out of two counts

The speed is fast, this also has to consider the quality of copying the book, the handwriting is neat, and it is also an ancient saying, the number of words in the book is not much, if it is those books of the future, a book is hundreds of pages, densely packed with words, copy the book, do not copy the dead people are strange, and at the moment, an ordinary bowl of noodles is also one

One copper coin to one copper coin, it's probably enough to eat two bowls!

During the Warring States Period, coins still followed the monetary system set down by the pre-Qin Dynasty, with three currencies of gold, silver and copper, one silver coin equal to one hundred copper coins, one gold coin equal to one hundred silver coins, and the monthly food expenses of ordinary families were two or three silver coins!

"That's all for now!"

After thinking about it for a long time, Ning Caichen didn't think of any good way to make money, although he came from another place, his mind was broader, and there were no limitations in the thinking of people in this world, but it was not easy to make money in this troubled world, even if he had some ideas, now

He can't implement it, the earth and this are two worlds, and many things are incompatible, so you can only find a job copying books first!

With an idea, there is also a goal, at this time it is already afternoon, the sun is in the west, Ning Caichen is ready to go down the mountain, first to find a job to copy books, next to the stone, there is also a book - "Huaizi", this book was borrowed by his original owner, in this era, books are expensive

It's terrible, most of a book is a silver coin, which is not affordable for ordinary people at all, not to mention that he is a poor scholar, even if his parents were alive before, the books he read were either leased or borrowed!

Picked up the book and patted the dust on his body, Ning Caichen stood up, one meter seven or eight tall and tall, handsome and elegant, with the elegance of a scholar, except for the look of a little pale, everything else is good, facing the cool breeze, walking down Huyang Mountain along the mountain road,

The shadow of the body is stretched by the sun on the mountain road!
