The Counterattack of the Cannon Fodder Man

Chapter 41: Daqian Dynasty, the only son of a peasant family

As far as we know, there has been no war in the Daqian Dynasty. Qian Tongyu is also the apprentice of this old scholar Shi and has many connections, so I think nothing should happen on the way.

Qian Dong has aged in recent years, but he is more energetic. His status and authority in the family are unquestionable. Knowing that this study tour is good for his grandson, he will not stop it.

In the end, it was Qian Dong who made the final decision and decided for the child to go studying abroad.

When going out to study, the family's carriage can be used. After deciding to go out to study, the family also prepared a lot of things.

As Qian Tongyu's servant, Daniu also hired two guards from the escort agency. He hired them for five years, which also cost a lot of money.

Qian Tongyu paid for this money out of his own pocket. In order to make the study tour less bumpy, Qian Tongyu also spent money to upgrade the carriage.

There were also a lot of books he often read in the carriage, as well as some writing brushes, inkstones, etc., which he could use on the road.

Teacher Shi gave him some homework before he left. He had to write an article every time he arrived at a place and hand it in when he returned.

If there is something they don't understand or need to communicate, they can rely on letters at the post station. The land area of ​​the Daqian Dynasty is also very large, and it will take several years to travel the entire country.

In about five years, Qian Tongyu was able to complete his study tour.

Five years later, Qian Tongyu was exactly 18 years old. It was just the right time for him to take the imperial examination, and it was also appropriate for him to enter the officialdom at the age of 18.

Although he became the youngest scholar in the Daqian Dynasty, Qian Tongyu did not think of becoming the youngest Jinshi. As the youngest scholar, he was already conspicuous enough.

When they set off, the Qian family was very reluctant to let them go. The old couple in the family, with tears in their eyes, sent them to the city gate. Qian Xiaolan, the doting grandmother, almost didn't go with them.

During the study tour, Qian Tongyu also took the visiting cards given by his master to meet some great scholars and famous teachers, and gained a lot of experience.

During this journey, Qian Tongyu never stopped writing, and occasionally communicated with his family and his master through letters.

He also wrote many beautiful articles and witnessed the real life of the people of Daqian. When I was young, I thought Qianjia Village was already quite poor.

But he didn't expect that there were even more miserable, remote and impoverished places in the Daqian Dynasty. Seeing these people half-naked and with numb eyes, Qian Tongyu felt a little uncomfortable.

It seems that there are still many areas that need reform in the Daqian Dynasty, and the living standards of the people alone need to be improved.

Qian Tongyu hadn't decided what to do, but after seeing all this, he had an idea. Instead of fighting in the capital, it would be better to take this path.

Really help the people, let the Daqian Dynasty improve the living standards. Make the gap between the north and the south less obvious, be a truly good official praised by the people, and be a loyal minister in front of the emperor.

He is just an ordinary farmer. If he is really involved in the officialdom struggle, he does not have much background. Although he has the connections of Master Shi to help, the master is too old to bother him all the time.

Instead of staying in the capital after becoming a Jinshi, it is better to be sent to a remote county to serve as an official.

Five years is neither fast nor slow.

As time passed, the boy gradually grew up.

With a delicate appearance, tall stature and calm temperament, Qian Tongyu is like a pure and elegant bamboo, which makes people feel very comfortable when looking at her.

Daniu's physique is even more exaggerated than before, and he also learned a few moves from the guards sent by the escort agency. The muscles on his hands look a bit exaggerated, and his fighting power is also very high.

Seeing Da Niu and the big knife in his hand, the bandits on the road didn't dare to offend him.

The Qian family has also changed a lot. The old couple of the Qian family have already been living in retirement. In order to see their grandson get married and have children in the future, they also plan to take good care of their health.

If I could see my grandson get married and my great-grandson before I die, I would die with peace of mind. Qian Da and Qian San opened two furniture stores in the county.

Now they have become bosses, and all the work in the shop is done by servants. They are now only responsible for running the shop.

The restaurant run by Qian Lin and his wife has also expanded several times and has now become a medium-sized restaurant in the county town.

As for these married girls, they all live a good life. Basically, they have achieved a wealthy life by doing business.

Even if life is not going well, with the help of the Qian family, things will get better sooner or later. The Qian family members who used to do everything by themselves have now become bosses.

Their business was good, but they had not thought of expanding to Nanjing Prefecture. In this county town, they had the help of the county magistrate and Mr. Xie to protect them and would not be bullied.

It is enough to have a scholar in the family. But if you go to Nanjing Prefecture or a larger place to do business, it is still a question whether these recipes in the family can be kept.

Qian Dong's family, who used to live in Qianjia Village, never thought they would be able to live such a good life today. They also know that all these changes are due to this golden grandson in the family.

Five years later, Xie Cheng passed the imperial examination and was assigned to another prefecture to serve as an official, and he moved there with his family.

So when Qian Tongyu came back, he didn't see Sixth Sister anymore.

In the past five years, Nan County has also undergone some changes. It has become more prosperous, with more buildings and so on.

When the carriage returned to Nan County, a young man with a handsome face and tall figure also got off the carriage.

"Mr. Qian is back!"

"Isn't this Mr. Qian?"

Although five years have passed, many people in the county still remember the young scholar from the Qian family. The Qian family has been prosperous in the county over the years.

He also had a relationship with the family of the county magistrate, Mr. Xie, and his family had a son-in-law who was already an official, which made him conspicuous among the people in the county.

They also remembered the scholar Qian who was studying abroad. He was a real literary star. It was just that he had been studying abroad for many years and had not participated in the imperial examination.

But they did not forget that he was once the top scorer in the academy, he just didn't want to take the imperial examination so soon.

After five years of studying abroad, Qian Tongyu went back home. Seeing his grandparents who had aged a lot, Qian Tongyu felt a little sad.

My grandparents, uncles, aunts, parents, and grandparents are also getting old. This is normal, after all, these sisters have a lot of children in the family.

After Qian Tongyu returned home, his family surrounded him and cared for him for several days, and they even stopped looking after the family shop.

Qian Xiaolan, the grandmother, has to watch her grandson for a long time every day. The grandson is already 18 years old. Logically speaking, in the countryside, at this age, he is already the father of several children.

It’s just that this grandson has been studying abroad for many years and has only returned now, so he doesn’t even have a wife.

If the child hadn't had to take an exam this year, and if he had achieved a higher academic title, he would have been able to find a better wife in the future.

Maybe there will be a real lady from a rich family who will take a fancy to their grandson. Thinking of this, the family members were not in a hurry to arrange a marriage for this grandson.

Qian Tongyu spent some time at home with her grandparents before going to her teacher. During the years of studying abroad, Qian Tongyu also received a lot of help from her teacher, and she understood the value of the visiting cards given by her teacher.

He also gained a lot of knowledge and studied with some famous teachers. Qian Tongyu's knowledge became more and more abundant.

When Qian Tongyu arrived at Shi's house, Mr. Shi was playing Go in the pavilion. Qian Tongyu also gave the prepared gift to the housekeeper.

Then he bowed respectfully to the old scholar and said, "Teacher."

Shi Qinghu looked up at his last disciple. The handsome and calm boy also came into his sight. If Qian Tongyu was still a little immature a few years ago, now Qian Tongyu has transformed into a mature jade.

Qian Tongyu still had a bunch of articles he had written over the years in his hands. This afternoon, after playing a few games with the teacher, he also obediently waited for the teacher's comments.

The master and the disciple spent the entire afternoon discussing the article.

Shi Qinghu's expression revealed satisfaction, and his eyes were full of appreciation. He flipped through the articles and occasionally made comments.

Finally, the old gentleman looked at his last disciple with satisfaction and said, "You will definitely be on the list of the top one this year. With your current qualifications, you can even be in the top three of the top one.

But if you become the top three in the first class, you will probably have to stay in the capital to serve. You have to think carefully whether you want to stay in the capital to serve as an official or be sent out."

Shi Qinghu, the old fox, naturally knew how mixed up the capital city was. If he got involved, even a genius could easily be harmed.
