The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

The sun in the sky was getting higher and higher, and the sun was getting hotter and hotter. Li Wen took the old cow to a cool place under the tree. I found a place under the tree to sit down with my back against the trunk.

The sun shines through the gaps in the leaves, Li Wen stretched out his hand to catch the sun, his fingers grasped the cage, but the palm of his hand was still empty.Half a day passed in the blink of an eye, a day in the blink of an eye, and a year in the blink of an eye.

Holding a piece of dog's tail grass in his hand and shaking it, Li Wen was thinking about the time passing, what he had done this day, so he let the cows out for half a day, and the time passed.Thinking about it this way, I suddenly felt a little unwilling in my heart. I was unwilling to let the time pass by like this, and in this passing time, I didn't do anything.

If his mother gave him a cow in his previous life, and then told him, you don’t need to study, brat, you can go and herd the cow, he might be very happy to lead the cow away.But it's fun to herd cattle for a day or two. He can't spend his whole life herding cattle in this small village like his father did.

In his previous life, except for a few years when he was young, he was in the countryside with his grandmother, and later he grew up and studied in the city, and he never farmed the fields at all. Even in the countryside, he only watched others plant the fields. There is no land to plant at home.Wanting him to plant the land for a lifetime is simply more terrifying than killing him.Besides, he was also a college student in his previous life. Isn't it a waste of talents if you let a college student farm the land, but now Li Wen found that he couldn't even farm the land at all.

The ancient society emphasized agriculture and suppressed commerce, and agriculture was the foundation. In fact, this is also related to various factors in the current society. The first one is that the productivity of this era is low, and many things are done by human labor; There are continuous wars, and the continuous migration of the population will cause instability. Agriculture can control the population to stay in one place to maintain the stability and development of the country.The reason why the development of commerce is restrained is that, firstly, the high mobility of businessmen will cause the instability of this society;

The social ranking in this world is "scholars, peasants, businessmen", with scholars at the head and merchants at the bottom, so this also shows that in this society, the status of scholars is actually the highest, and merchants are the people with the least status.Li Wen feels that this society ignores the importance of businessmen. A developed society is often driven by businessmen. Businessmen will constantly think of ways and use their brains in order to seek greater benefits and profit margins, so to a certain extent Generally speaking, businessmen are the ones who promote the development of this society.

Of course, the rulers of this era would not think so.

When he was young in his previous life, when he was forced to study by his mother, Li Wen didn't like reading very much. Like all boys, he loved to play.His parents are high-level intellectuals, his father is a professor of the Chinese Department of the university, and his mother is a teacher of classical music at the university. In such a family, it is impossible for him not to study and not to read good books.

His mother looked gentle and virtuous, and she was not soft-hearted at all when she invited him to eat shredded pork stewed with bamboo shoots. Sometimes his father would join in to help his mother, and the two of them beat him together, and he almost ran away from home at that time.At that time, when he was young, he not only had to go to school, but also went to a lot of interest classes. His test scores were poor. Besides his mother would beat him, the classmates in the class would make fun of him, saying that your father is a college student. Professor, your academic performance is so bad.

So after he became sensible, reading good books was just to keep his mother from slapping him. Another reason was that he didn't want his parents to laugh with him when others laughed at him.

But at that time, his temperament was actually a bit rebellious. His father asked him to study liberal arts, hoping that he would become a writer; his mother asked him to study music theory, hoping that he would become a musician.But at that time, he went to apply for science, and he also went to study bioengineering in college, and he mainly engaged in genetic engineering.Thinking about it now, the majors he studied in college are completely useless to him now, and it might as well be a little more useful for him to go to the Agricultural College to learn farming.

In the past, Li Wen felt that reading was a particularly painful thing, but now that he thinks about it, being able to read is actually a very happy thing.In this era, it is very difficult to study. There is no school in their village. If they want to study, they have to walk a few miles to the town to have a school.

He just, suddenly wants to go back to study.

Li Wen understands better than anyone else that studying in this society is the only shortcut.As for himself, he must have one more advantage than others when he goes to study now, that is, he has studied before.At least one person who has taken the college entrance examination will still be afraid of the ancient imperial examinations?

But up to now, he has been in this world for several years, and he has never seen a book, let alone the characters of this society, let alone what to test in the exam.

"Brother, are you asleep? What are you thinking? Brother, brother!" Li Siya has been sitting here for a long time, and she found that her brother seemed to have not noticed her, his eyes fixed on one place without moving Once, she pushed her brother and shouted.

"Siya, do you want to study?" Li Wen looked at the little girl and asked.

read?What is reading, is it delicious?Li Siya looked at her brother with a puzzled look on his face.

"Guru..."

There was a sound of hunger, and Li Wen looked towards the place where the grunt was coming from. Li Siya held her stomach, blinked and said to her brother, "Brother, I'm hungry." One sound.

The bowl of rice porridge and steamed corn buns they ate in the morning, after urinating twice, there is basically nothing left, and the stomach is empty, no wonder the little girl's stomach growls.It was almost noon at this time, and even he himself felt a little hungry.

"The sun is still so big, it's still a long time before dinner." Li Siya sighed and said while rubbing her belly.

Li Wen looked at the little girl's frowning face, couldn't help laughing, and asked, "Apart from wanting to eat, what else do you think about all day long?"

"I want to sleep." Li Siya answered honestly, she just wanted to sleep a little longer in the morning after eating enough every day.

Li Wen held his forehead with one hand and smiled helplessly.That's right, in this society where even getting enough to eat is a problem, who would want to study.However, he heard that the youngest son of the village head's family was sent to study, and currently he is the only scholar in their village.

But as far as he knew, the son of the village chief's family was just a boy, not even a scholar, and he hadn't passed the next two exams, so he wondered if he could pass the exam this year.But even so, the son of the village chief's family still has a high status in the village and is admired by countless people. Even the village chief has made his position as village chief more stable, and his words in the clan have no weight. It's getting heavier.

Every time the village chief's family mentioned their youngest son to others, they all looked proud.

The village head's wife also came out and said that she had just given birth to her third son, and that a fortune teller passed by their house to tell the fortune of his youngest son, saying that his youngest son was born as a Wenqu star, and was born to be an official.If you want him to see, the fortune teller is cheating money, and Wen Quxing can't even pass the exam as a scholar?If Wen Quxing had already won the number one prize.

cut……

What's the big deal, isn't it just a child?Maybe he can still get a champion, Li Wen thought to himself.Thinking about it this way, Li Wen really felt that he might be able to come back with the number one scholar in the imperial examination.

The excitement in his head was over, and Li Wen heard Li Siya's stomach growling non-stop, as if to solve the problem of his sister's hunger is an urgent problem that needs to be solved.

"Let's go, let's find something to eat." It's not an option to continue waiting like this, the longer you wait, the hungrier you get.Li Wen got up from the ground, patted the dirt on his buttocks, pulled Li Siya up, and said to the old cow, "You are grazing here, don't run around, don't go with others when strangers take you Ah, got it? We'll come back to pick you up later."

"Moo-"

The cow looked at him and barked, as if responding to him.

Li Wen took Li Siya to look for something to eat, but right now he really couldn't think of anything to eat.They are backed by mountains here, but does he dare to go in the mountains?The tiger inside could swallow their two little dolls in one gulp, so just think about it.

It is a lie to say that you can rely on mountains to eat mountains. First of all, you have to be able to go up the mountain and come down safely.

Each of the two children held a stick in their hands and slapped the side of the road all the way. They were afraid of encountering snakes, and they were getting farther and farther away from the place where the cattle were herded.

"Hey, where are Sanbao'er and Siyatou? Didn't they say they were watching the cows? Why are the cows here, but the people are gone?" When Sun Yi came to look for her son and Siyatou, she found her husband and second uncle in the field , I followed the direction my husband said, and I only saw the cow tied under the tree, but I didn't see the two children.

The woman stood at the same spot and looked left and right, but the two children could not be seen.
