Sign in and get rich in farming

Everyone thinks that the Duke of Zhenguo must be mighty and domineering as he fights in all directions. However, only those who are close to him know that this Duke of Zhenguo is just a naughty old man.

Other powerful officials love money, sex, luxury cars and BMWs, but his tastes and hobbies are almost like those of a six-year-old child.

In the words of Old Master Tan, he had a hard childhood and now he is trying to make up for it.

The result of the compensation was that Tan Mengao and Tan Langxu each lost a set of battlefield inspections, a set of Shaolin martial arts performances, and a set of soap.

"My military review on the battlefield, my Shaolin martial arts performances, my soap~" Tan Mengao burst into tears while hugging the box.

Tan Langxu picked up his suitcase and left without saying a word. He was afraid that if he was late, his uncle would come out and he would lose more.

"Hmph, you so-and-so, go back and ask the little girl from the Yu family to bring me fifty, no, a hundred sets of toys and ten sets of soap." He couldn't afford to offend his grandfather and his brothers, but he had his own ways.

Tan Mengao angrily asked someone to get the silver notes. If you can't afford to offend him, you can afford it!

Yu Hongdou didn't know that one of her important customers was about to arrive. After everything was settled and she agreed to come on the opening day, she went to visit the county town with her parents.

They walked along East Street to the City God Temple. Yu Hongdou signed in at the door of the money shop as usual and received fifty taels of silver.

Adding the fifty taels she received last time, she now had one hundred taels of private money.

The check-in point at the entrance of the City God Temple was still floating there, but Yu Hongdou ignored it.

At this point in Chenghuang Temple, Yu Hongdou felt that the things that came out must be extraordinary, so she planned to accumulate some good luck before opening this blind box again.

There is only one bookstore in Anbei County, but its small facade is very neat and impressive.

Sandalwood was burning on the counter in the room. There were two long tables lined up in the middle of the room, with books piled on them. The shelves behind the counter were also filled with books.

The person selling the goods was not a clerk, but an old man with white hair and beard, who also wore a scholar's cap on his head. He was surprised to see the family of three coming in, but still greeted them.

"Sir, please make yourself at your leisure. If there is a book you like, you can bring it here directly. If you need to find a book, you can ask me." The old man pointed to the long table, then to the bookshelf behind him, and then started reading a book.

Yu Sanlang was not surprised. This old scholar had been running the bookshop for many years and had always had the same attitude.

"Hongdou, besides explaining Chinese characters, are there other things you would like to read? Huiru, I remember there are some opera scripts and lyrics here. Should I buy you two to keep for your entertainment?" Yu Sanlang made clear arrangements for his wife and daughter.

Yu Hongdou took the lead and walked towards the two rows of long tables, staring at each book carefully, and found that although these books were all in regular script, the handwriting was slightly different.

"Most of the books here are hand-copied. Most scholars are proud of copying books, and it can also supplement the family income." Yu Sanlang knew what his daughter was thinking when he saw her flipping through a few books on a pile.

Yu Hongdou reacted and realized, yes, in ancient times, the way scholars made a living was to copy books besides writing letters and couplets for others.

She picked out a copy of "Shuowen Jiezi" with relatively perfect handwriting. When she glanced at the "Imperial Edict" opposite, she was stunned for a moment. She picked up one out of curiosity to see what kind of book it was that had the word "Imperial" on it.

"This is the Imperial Edict. Every year, the court compiles some major cases into the Imperial Edict and makes it public to the world to warn people." The old scholar looked up and saw the book in the little girl's hand, and explained aloud.

He didn't think that such a young child could recognize a few words, especially a little girl. He was afraid that the child would be playful and tear up the books again. Even if the parents could pay compensation, he would still feel sorry for the books.

This explanation is also a reminder to parents: don't let your children touch things randomly.

Unfortunately, the couple didn't appreciate his good intentions at all, and instead encouraged the little girl's arrogance. She picked up several books in a row, and it seemed that she wanted them all.

The old scholar put down the book in his hand and stared at the little girl's movements carefully. Seeing that she picked out the great edicts from previous years to the present, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised and doubtful.

Could it be possible that this little girl could actually understand it?

"This imperial edict is usually issued by the imperial court to the village head and the head of the village so that they can popularize the law to the villagers. The village head has it at home, but unfortunately he cherishes it very much. Every time he looks through it, he has to wash his hands and burn incense. Otherwise, it would be more economical to borrow it to read."

When Yu Sanlang saw his daughter taking several books in a row, he remembered how stingy the village chief was and decided to buy the book back and show it off in front of the village chief.

It turned out that this was the "Criminal Investigation Major Cases" published by the state? After Yu Hongdou understood the meaning of the Great Edict in her own way, she thought to herself that this was a coincidence, as she loved watching crime movies the most.

All the books on the long table have been read. Apart from the enlightenment books such as Sanbaiqian, Lishou Duyun and Shuowen Jiezi, there are also the Four Books and Five Classics and other books for imperial examinations. The remaining are only a few other books.

Yu Hongdou never had the chance to take part in the imperial examination in her life, and she had no interest in taking another national-level examination, so she quickly glanced through it and only selected "Lisheng Duiyun", "Shuowen Jiezi" and five or six copies of "Da Gao".

She was quite interested in the books behind the old scholar, but when she heard the price, she was discouraged.

Just these few books of hers plus the two storybooks and a flower book her father bought for her mother cost nearly ten taels of silver.

"No wonder they say books are the golden house. This small shop is really a golden house if you count it." When the family of three went out, Yu Sanlang, who was buying books for the first time, couldn't help but sigh.

Yu Hongdou nodded and made a rough calculation. There must be several hundred books in the room. On average, each book cost one or two taels of silver. Adding the shop, the book must be worth the price of gold.

The bookstore was close to the county government office, so the family of three simply went to the government office to find Yu Song. Yu Silang was getting married tomorrow, and as his nephew, Yu Song would have to ask for leave to go back and attend the wedding banquet.

Today, Tan Bailu and Master Shang were not here. They went to visit a village in the county. Although Tan Bailu seemed a little erratic on weekdays, he was a very qualified county magistrate.

Before and after the spring ploughing, I personally visited several villages and asked many elderly people with rich experience in planting for their common sense and experience.

Nowadays, when it comes to pulling up seedlings in the fields, experienced old people can predict the time and quantity of harvest by just taking a look.

Of course, the data at this moment cannot be accurate. There will be natural disasters and man-made disasters in the future. Only when the real harvest is obtained can we know the exact number.

However, these are data, which can be recorded as reference cases.

On the way back, Yu Hongdou heard her brother say these things. His eyes were shining as he spoke. For the first time, Yu Hongdou felt her brother's sincere desire to become an official.

Before, Yu Song wanted to make a name for himself, mostly for his family, he wanted his parents and sister to live well, he wanted to be their supporter. But now, under the guidance of Master Tan Bailu, he seems to have found his true dream and heart.
