Everyone hurriedly bowed to accept orders.

In the next few days, the three families acted separately. Under the unified deployment of the old housekeeper, they organized manpower and prepared for planting and breeding.

Lu Li also took out the crop seeds and improved poultry and livestock seeds from the farming gift bag.

This "immortal technique" of summoning crop seeds and poultry and livestock breeds out of thin air has blown everyone's reverence to the limit.

And...the poultry and livestock that Lu Li "summoned" were all frighteningly large.

One hundred Landrace pigs, each of which weighs over a thousand catties.One hundred white-legged cattle are also the largest cattle in the world, with a shoulder height of nearly two meters and a weight of more than three thousand catties.

The Brahman chicken has a head height of 1.5 meters and a weight of more than [-] catties.The Toulouse goose has a head height of more than two meters and a weight of more than fifty catties.

The three families with "professional skills" immediately settled the seeds, poultry and livestock.

Fortunately, the Lu family is also a gentry and landlord, and they have enough food in the house. Otherwise, there would not be enough food to feed so many poultry and livestock all at once.

Everyone took over the task separately, only Xing'er's elder brother, Chen An, was a little helpless.

"Master, everyone else has a hundred horses, why do I only have ten horses here?"

Chen An, who had acquired the "Professional Horse Breeding Skill", couldn't help complaining to Lu Li.

"War horses are too eye-catching. Raise them first, and then take your time."

In the era of cold weapons, war horses are also strategic materials.It is normal for a gentry family to keep a few horses. If there are too many horses... what do you want to do with so many war horses?

The ten Arabian war horses that were brought out now were also used to train the servants, otherwise, Lu Li didn't want to take out so many horses!

……

After dealing with the farming gift package, Lu Li asked the old housekeeper to select twenty strong young servants from among the servants.

These boys are Lu Li's future officers.

Afterwards, every morning and evening, Lu Li led twenty servants to run around the dry land in the Lu Family Farm to exercise his body.

During the daytime, Lu Li spent all his time reading.

On February [-]th, it was time for the Huating County Exam. Lu Li still had to spend time studying and preparing for the exam.

Naturally, Lu Li had read the Four Books and Five Classics a long time ago, and he could memorize them fluently. He also fully understood the content of these books, and even studied a lot of stereotyped essays.

The lessons that need to be made up now are to make these knowledge fit the times, conform to the characteristics of the times, conform to the mainstream thinking, and combine current affairs and politics.

These problems are not difficult to solve.

The Lu family is also a scholarly family, with a large collection of books, including many works by various contemporary literati.After reading these articles, you can understand the characteristics of the times.

As for current affairs and politics, isn't there a "good friend who shared the loot together" Yuan Zhixian?

Lu Li sent another painting to Yuanzhi County, and copied Zheng Banqiao's poem again: Xinzhu is higher than old bamboo branches, and it is all supported by old cadres.Next year there will be newborns, ten-foot-long grandsons around Fengchi.

Yuan Zhixian was overjoyed after seeing it, and said with a smile: "I am Laozhu, Ziming is Hsinchu!"

"It all depends on the support of the old cadres!"

Lu Li bowed his hands to Yuanzhi County.

"Go back and study hard!"

Yuan Zhixian nodded with a smile, "The county test will be held in a few days, and I'm still looking forward to your 'ten zhang dragon and grandson around the phoenix pool'!"

……

February fifteenth.

The Huating County Examination officially kicked off.

The night before yesterday, Lu Li moved into the Lu family's house in Huating County.

Twenty servants who participated in the military training were sent by Lu Li to run all the way from the Lu family's mansion in Yunjian Township to Huating County in the name of long-distance training.

On the early morning of the [-]th, Lu Li tidied up, picked up his test basket, and lined up with a group of candidates to enter the test room.

In other words, according to the imperial examination level, the county examination is called "Tongshi", and those who pass the county examination are called "Tongsheng".

So... this is a primary school graduation exam?

Looking down at himself, Lu Xin felt a little weird.

As the world's top scientist, in the Ming Dynasty, he didn't even have a primary school diploma?I'm in my twenties and haven't graduated from elementary school yet, so I'm a little sorry!

Turning his head and looking around, there were actually a lot of middle-aged men, and even a few old men with gray beards who came to take the exam.

Well, the primary school graduation certificate of the Ming Dynasty is really not easy to get!

After queuing up to enter the examination room, after a search, Lu Li got his number plate and found his examination room.

This is such a palm-sized cubicle, or an earth embryo room, full of dust and spider webs, can it be repaired a little bit?

After Lu Li entered the cubicle, he cleaned up first, and then sat down holding his nose.

When Chen Shi, a gong sounded, the exam officially started.

When the test paper was handed out, Lu Li glanced at it. The first page was filled with blank questions, which was called "Tie Jing".

Open the paper, the second page is short-answer questions.This is called "Mo Yi".

The last is the main event - composition questions, that is, stereotyped essays.

Lu Li flipped through the test papers. Instead of answering the questions right away, he spread a clean white cloth on the chopping board in front of him, and arranged pens, ink, paper and inkstones to ensure that the papers would not be eliminated due to soiling.

After making preparations, Lu Li calmed down and began to grind his ink, ready to answer the questions.

Picking up the pen and licking the ink, Lu Li wrote on the scroll.With Lu Li's master-level calligraphy skills, it is easy to write "Guan Ge Style" in italics for the imperial examinations of the Ming Dynasty.

Each of them is square and upright, and the round and full regular script of Guan Ge style jumped out of Lu Li's pen.

Filling in the blanks is not difficult for Lu Li, he just needs to make sure that he does not write typos or write in simplified characters.

For those who learn calligraphy, it is quite normal for them to be able to write traditional characters.Not only can he write traditional Chinese characters, but he can even write seal characters and even Oracle bone inscriptions!

The fill-in-the-blank questions were answered quickly, and there were no mistakes or omissions at a glance.Lu Li uncovered the fill-in-the-blank test paper, pressed it aside with a paperweight to dry, and began to write the following short-answer questions.

The short-answer questions all have standard answers, which are "Zhu Zi Ji Zhu", which is Zhu Xi's understanding of the Four Books and Five Classics.This is the standard answer, and it doesn't matter if you make a single word wrong.

Therefore, this thing is said to be a short-answer question, but it is actually no different from filling in the blanks.

These "standard answers" had been kept in mind for a long time, and Lu Li wrote them very quickly. Not long after, the short answer questions were finished.

The next big thing is the composition problem.

The first question: "My son said to Yan Yuan that if you use it, you can do it, and if you discard it, you can hide it. I am the only one with you."

Seeing this title, Lu Li was taken aback for a moment. It seemed...it seemed...when I was studying with Mr. Han, I read an stereotyped article with this title!

Thinking back in my mind, the memory stored in my photographic memory was turned out from the depths of my mind.

Did see this article.This is an eight-part essay written by a number one scholar named Han Yan in the Qing Dynasty.

Is it appropriate for the number one scholar to take the primary school graduation certificate exam?

Lu Li curled his lips, forget it, I'm too lazy to use my brain, just copy it!

So, Lu Li took up his pen and wrote: "It is advisable for a sage to travel and hide, and he will show it to those who are able."

After writing the first sentence of the problem, I copied all the way to the end, and copied the entire article.

Easy to do!

After checking it carefully, no mistakes could be found, Lu Li nodded with a smile.If the number one scholar in the Qing Dynasty can't pass the primary school diploma of the Ming Dynasty, then I won't say anything.

……

After the exam was over, Yuan Zhixian took the county school teaching instruction and began to mark the papers.

"Ah! Good words! Good words! Good words!"

Yuan Zhixian, who was grading the test papers, suddenly heard a lecturer scream.

Good word?

Hearing this, Yuan Zhixian smiled, this should be Lu Li's test paper.

"bring here."

Yuan Zhixian gave an order to the Jiaojiao.

"Yes!"

The instructor quickly submitted the test paper.

Yuan Zhixian took the test paper and looked at it, and it was really good!The first hand is in the style of Guange, and the writing is elegant and upright, with a vigorous atmosphere, and it really is Lu Li's pen style.

With this handwriting alone, it is no problem to pass the county test.

Yuan Zhixian smiled and continued to read the test paper.The scriptures are all right, and Mo Yi is all right.Familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, it really has a solid foundation.

After reading the first few pages, Yuan Zhixian turned to the following stereotyped essays.

Seeing this, Yuan Zhixian's eyes widened, and he couldn't help admiring: "Good! Good! Such a majestic writing is really rare!"

Such an article is enough for the number one scholar exam, but it is really too wasteful to use it for the county exam.

Picking up the pen, Yuan Zhixian drew a red circle on the scroll, which means it has passed.

A few days later, the county examination ended, and the list was hung on the screen wall outside the county government gate.

Lu Li's name suddenly came first, that is, the first case in the county examination.

"Congratulations to Mr. Lu Li of Yunjian Township, the first place in the high school county examination, and the first place in the case."

The people who announced the good news came three waves in a row.This is all normal operation.It is also a good job to announce the good news, and you can get a fortune.

Lu Li ordered people to send money for the wedding, and accepted some congratulations, but he didn't feel anything in his heart.

What is there to be happy about a primary school diploma from the Ming Dynasty?

If it wasn't for gaining fame and social status, who would take this test?Knowledge that does not contribute to social reality at all can be treated as a literary genre.

Back at the Lu family compound, Lu Li was greeted with another wave of congratulations.

Even the old lady was grinning from ear to ear, and was very happy that Lu Li had won the first place in the case.

Everything is inferior, only reading is high.For the people of the Ming Dynasty, this matter was of great significance.

It's a pity that Lu Li didn't feel anything at all. It's better to see the chickens, ducks, pigs and cattle at home!

The crops, poultry and livestock in the farming spree, as well as various planting and breeding techniques, this is the leap forward development of the agricultural technology of the Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 382 The Rifle That Leads the World for 300 Years

After finishing the county examination and getting the "Leader of the Case", Lu Li also has the status of "Tongsheng".

After getting the "Primary School Graduation Certificate", this is a serious scholar.In the Ming Dynasty, scholars were the upper class.This status has a lot of social status.

For Lu Li, all he needed was this social status.

For the next period of time, Lu Li focused on his family's military training and the modernization of Lujiazhuang's agriculture.

Needless to say, Jia Ding's military training.

Lu Li had worked in the Army Recruit Company, Special Forces, Air Force Pilot, and even an Astronaut, so he was not too familiar with military training.

In the underworld plot, Lu Li personally organized a military training.

Today, the military training of these twenty servants includes physical training, queue training, unarmed combat training, cold weapon combat training, riding training, as well as military regulations, military discipline, marching and camping and other training subjects.

While carrying out these trainings, Lu Li also taught the family members literacy, basic mathematics, military cartography, military meteorology, sanitation and epidemic prevention and other military science knowledge.

The army in Lu Li's imagination is of course not an army with cold weapons, muskets are king.

During this time, Lu Li was also designing the guns he needed.

If possible, it is of course best for everyone to send an AK47.However, under the current industrial foundation, this is impossible to achieve, and the machining accuracy cannot meet the requirements at all.

The only ones that were possible were breech-loading flintlock rifles with fixed charges.

Lu Li was a special soldier, so he knew a lot about guns and ammunition. He even made gunpowder from washing powder and bombs from detergent with ease.

It was not difficult for Lu Li to design a breech-loading flintlock rifle with fixed gunpowder.The difficulty is how to manufacture breech-loading flintlock rifles on a large scale at low cost under the existing industrial conditions.

First of all, the first one, gunpowder can only use black powder.Although Lu Li could produce stronger nitrocellulose gunpowder, but...the Ming Dynasty, where the chemical industry was underdeveloped, the cost of nitrocellulose gunpowder was too high to be used.
