Chapter 5 The Way Out
After recalling the imperial examination and official system in this world, let's talk about Zhang Xuan himself. Although he failed to inherit the memory of this body, in the original world, Zhang Xuan has been good at ancient Chinese since he was a child, not only can he read and hyphenate words, but also can memorize the four books and five classics upside down, and he can also write good calligraphy.
And this world was not much different before the Sui Dynasty, and now the imperial examination is also the Four Books and Five Classics, and there are no restrictions of the Ming Dynasty's eight-strand text, so that Zhang Xuan, as a modern ancient writer, can give full play to his ability.
Coupled with the ability to never forget after crossing over, Zhang Xuan is confident that as long as he goes through all the books in this room, it will be no problem to take the test.
Of course, these are long-term plans, and I have to find a way to get some money now. After all, in order to treat himself, this family is almost out of the pot!
First of all, Zhang Xuan's idea was to use his advantages from the afterlife, invent something, and then make money in business.
But first of all, Zhang Mu can't pass the pass, you must know that in the Dayong Dynasty, "Shinong Industry and Commerce", merchants are cheap industries, and everyone looks down on them.
Zhang's mother will not let herself go into business and delay her studies, and if the government knows about it, it will be even more terrible, and she will be directly disqualified from the imperial examination. In addition, Zhang Xuan is also an alternative in modern times, he doesn't love engineering and ancient literature, and he can't start if he really asks him to invent anything.
Doing business comes with quick money, but it has been ruled out in the first place. So what can you do? Teach?
It's okay to go to a private school of a large family to teach and teach on your own, but there are three difficulties.
First, how to apply for a teacher from a big family; second, now I don't even know where I need to teach, and I have to spend time and effort to find it, and after looking for it, I have to ask people to invite you to go, which takes too long. Third, if the imperial examination is delayed because of this, not to mention that Zhang's mother will not agree, even if she can't pass this hurdle, after all, the imperial examination is the real way out for herself.
So, writing a book? Well, maybe that's the way to go.
In this world, there are also many people who write books for fame or profit, and even many people who are famous.
This is a scholar's business, not business, but elegant.
Come to think of it, with his tens of thousands of ancient readings, not to mention the classics, it is still stable to copy a novel book that can make money.
It's just that there is one point, in ancient times, there was no convenient tool called a computer, even the pen was also used to write, which would greatly slow down their creative speed, even if they wrote 3,000 words a day, a novella of 100,000 words would take a month to write, and then find a bookstore to cooperate with the publication, and then the daylily would be cold.
Then you will become the first time-traveler to starve to death in ancient times!
I can't do business, I can't teach, and I can't wait for money to write books.
So, selling words? In my previous life, I loved ancient Chinese, but I practiced good handwriting, but my favorite was the thin gold body. Although it can't be called a big man, but the thin gold font doesn't exist in this world at all, it's a completely new font, write it yourself, that's the only one, even if you say that you created it, no one doubts it!
With this, Zhang Xuan believes that major bookstores will definitely accept it, and they will definitely not worry about selling!
But after thinking about it for a while, Zhang Xuan shook his head and rejected the idea.
Now I have no power or power, and my self-protection ability is too weak. When the time comes, if you are targeted by someone with a heart, you may lose your life!
This is not Zhang Xuan's alarmist words! How tempting it is to create a new font! Throughout the ages, there are only a handful of people who can create a font on their own, and even if this person has a thousand kinds of mistakes, all of them are not, it is enough to make him famous in history. How many people can resist such temptation?
As the saying goes, it's not that they dare not commit crimes, but that the cost is too high.
If the benefits are beyond imagination, then there will inevitably be people who take risks. In this ancient pursuit of fame, people's pursuit of "fame" has even far exceeded "profit", and "leaving a name in history" is the biggest "fame".
Moreover, Zhang Xuan is not a big danger! The current Zhang Xuan is just a sixteen-year-old civilian boy who has no fame for showing off his talents, and when the time comes, even if Zhang Xuan stands up and says that this font was created by him, no one will believe it at all!
Even, the person who got this font, for the sake of his own reputation, it is possible to directly solve Zhang Xuan's family silently.
After thinking about it, I can only go to the street to set up a stall and write! Read letters and write replies to others, or write couplets or something, and I can also review and prepare for exams in my free time. But you have to go and see for yourself what the specific situation is, so that you don't even have to be able to support yourself at that time.
It's sad enough to think about yourself, originally a rich man with both parents and a net worth of tens of millions, and a chartered man who travels all day long. has become the current orphan and widow, the family is surrounded by four walls, and the only two remaining subordinates and the housemother have to work.
"Perhaps, the ability to remember this is the only bit of consolation!"
Just do it when you think of it, Zhang Xuan is also a decisive person, so he immediately packed himself, put on the bookbasket (ancient schoolbag), turned around, and walked along the increasingly familiar house path to the front hall.
Sure enough, her mother Li was weaving in the front hall, and Bao'er was nowhere to be seen, and she didn't know if she was busy with something or embroidery.
"Mother, my child has been studying at home recently and feels a little bored and wants to go for a walk on the street. Since that day, this sentence has become more and more smooth and sincere.
"Xuan'er, are you feeling better? It's okay to go out for a walk, it's not good to be bored in the house all day long after recovering from a serious illness. Come on, take this money, buy whatever you want!ah!"
When Zhang's mother saw her son coming, she hurriedly put down the work in her hand, grabbed Zhang Xuan's hand and chattered, and then took out more than a dozen coins from her purse and stuffed it into Zhang Xuan's hand.
Zhang Xuan saw that there was no more money left in his purse, and these more than ten cents might be all the remaining property of the family, and he couldn't help but feel a little blocked in his heart, and the idea of earning some money as soon as possible to subsidize the family became even more urgent.
However, in order not to worry his mother, Zhang Xuan did not refuse, but put it in the pocket on his sleeve, "It's a big deal, I don't spend it and get it back." As for making money, there is no mention of the eight characters, and Zhang Xuan doesn't want to tell his mother now, so as not to worry his mother.
"Well, mother, then I'll go, you have to pay attention yourself, don't be too tired. ”
"Okay, mother's own body knows by herself, so don't worry. Go ahead!" Zhang Xuan knew that his mother would not listen to his persuasion. Only by getting over the family's economic crisis can he persuade his mother at that time. So Zhang Xuan no longer procrastinated, and walked towards the gate after saying goodbye to his mother.
