Take the system to ancient times

Xinghe himself naturally does not have the so-called "photographic memory" ability.

That night when the classmates all went home, Xinghe saw the old scholar reading with the bamboo slips shaking his head. Xinghe felt that fortunately this volume was the Analects of Confucius.

Xinghe himself picked up a roll.This roll of bamboo slips is the smallest one among the bamboo slips sent by the clerk, because the characters were carved on the bamboo slips with a knife, so there are not many words in it.

Xinghe also studied with the old scholar for several days, opened the volume and read it, only a few words he did not understand.After asking the old scholar, Xinghe saw that the old scholar was interesting in reading, so he shook his head and started to read after three pauses. Just after reading the whole scroll, he heard a gentle female voice in his head.

[Acquire reading skills. 】

[You have learned "The Analects of Confucius? Xue Er Pian"]

Xinghe: Dumbfounded.

When Xinghe was studying, the old scholar was also listening to him. After seeing him finish reading, he pointed out a few sentence mistakes, and then shook his head and said: "Zi said: Learning and learning from time to time, is it not easy to say? The general idea is... "

Halfway through the talk, the old scholar finally realized that Xinghe was not in the right state, and thought he was distracted, so he suddenly asked, "Smart words and tricks, what's the next sentence?"

Xinghe conditioned reflexively recited the next paragraph, and found that he had really memorized the content of Xueerpian all at once, and the old scholar finally discovered a peerless genius with a "photographic memory".

No wonder the old scholar is so excited, there are many people who have a "photographic memory" in this era, but all of them are because most of the books are bamboo slips at this time, and it is inconvenient to get them. Everyone "borrows books" to read.And because books are precious, they are an indispensable part of measuring the strength of a family in this era. Although it is a good story for students from poor families to borrow books at home, but more than ten years ago, the world was in chaos. People were worried about losing books and refused to borrow books. When borrowing books from other people's homes, I desperately memorized two more books so that I could copy them back. Day after day, I developed many pseudo-geniuses with "photographic memory", and the old scholar was once one of them.

But old scholars know that there are truly geniuses who are born with "photographic memory" in the world, and all of them have made great achievements in learning.The most obvious example is Ren Gong, Prime Minister of the Yong Dynasty.

Although the old scholar is from Xiliang, he has also heard of Mr. Ren's name, so when Xinghe wondered why the old scholar was so excited, he gave him a chestnut with Mr. Ren: "The current prime minister, Mr. Ren, is born with an unforgettable memory just like you. A genius, he studied essays when he was young. It is said that ten years of adulthood and decades of achievements have been passed down for a while. It is also said that he was appointed as the prime minister before he reached the crown. Having read all the official documents of the previous three years in the court and the Central Committee, and handling the affairs with brilliance and sharpness, this is what is convincing."

It's this Mr. Ren again.

The old man was excited, and Xinghe was even more excited. It is not uncommon to be able to recite the Analects of Confucius just by reading it once.

Firstly, there are few words to learn, and secondly, Xinghe is not really illiterate. The Analects of Confucius is the quintessence of the country. Even if you don’t memorize it carefully, you can listen to it from various channels in your daily life, even if the old scholar doesn’t explain it. , He can also understand one or two of the content of Xueerpian.

What surprised Xinghe was naturally the system in his head.

With this reading skill, I feel that I can convert texts from reason to text, from then on I will specialize in stereotyped essays, I won the first prize in the imperial examination, I will marry Bai Fumei as CEO, and I will reach the pinnacle of my life~~

Xinghe: "Grandpa! I want to take the imperial examination!"

Old scholar: "Huh? What is the imperial examination?"

Xinghe and the old scholar looked at each other, speechless.

Shit - I forgot that this is a different world, and even in ancient China, the imperial examinations were implemented since the Tang Dynasty.

But Xinghe didn't give up: "Grandpa, how can you become an official?"

Old Scholar: "If you work as a miscellaneous official in a county, most of the petty officials who arrange accommodation for us and give us directions are mostly local people who seek jobs in the yamen. It's all arranged by the local county magistrate, but the general county magistrates are noble and don't want to take care of these matters, so the county magistrate's chief bookkeeper is often in charge."

"As for the master book, the history of affairs, the chief record room, and the history of meritorious service, etc., it is necessary to have scholars with high grade evaluations. Those who serve as such civil officials are all low-grade students. Good people like us can participate in the evaluation. But for the rest of my life, I'll spend most of my life in the county, so it's hard to see a day of success."

"Going up to the county magistrate, or the county, or even the officials and officials in the state, they have to be born in a noble family or from a poor family. Only they can be considered as real officials and have the possibility of promotion."

Xinghe didn't understand half of what he heard, so he couldn't help asking: "What is a literary official? What is an evaluation? How do you distinguish between a noble family and a poor family?"

The old scholar only thought that Xinghe was eager to learn, so he explained to him: "Cultural officials refer to people in the yamen of a place except military officials. As for military officials, because all countries favor martial arts, especially since the Yong Dynasty became the prime minister, the common people However, in martial arts, military officers need especially powerful force, so they are separated separately and formed into a separate system, which is not the same as civil officials."

"Evaluation is the method for the imperial court to select civil servants. Every three years, the imperial court has Zhongzheng officials who come to various places to conduct evaluations. The first is knowledge, the second is morality, and the third is family background. The evaluation results are divided into three, six, and nine ranks. The first rank is a sage, which is fake. The second rank is the highest. The first, second and third ranks are the top ranks, the fourth, fifth and sixth ranks are the middle ranks, and the seventh, eighth and ninth ranks are the lower ranks.

In the past, the official was not released, the laws and regulations were lax, the gentry controlled the country, Zhongzheng’s evaluation was the most important family background, and the evaluation of the children of the aristocratic family had never been lower than the sixth class.Those from poor families can only be judged at the highest rank, and as for ordinary people, they don't even have the qualifications to participate in the evaluation. "

"Besides, it's easy to talk about aristocratic families. If you look at it from the Yong Dynasty, you only need to remember eight words: Wang Xie, Ren Chen, Li Cui, Fan Wei. These eight are first-class gentry families, and the shortest inheritance is five to 600 years. , the longest, more than a thousand years, is the top aristocratic family in the Yong Dynasty today, and the family power can control the land of a state.

As for the counties, there are second-class families who rely on the top-level families to survive, and they are powerful in each county.There are also aristocratic families in the lower counties, such aristocratic families are the weakest last-class aristocratic families, relying on second-class aristocratic families to survive, most of them are emerging families that have just been promoted from poor families for less than a hundred years.

Our Xinghua Village, because it is a suburb of Kang County, directly belongs to Kang County, and there is no county magistrate.Kang County belongs to Yuzhou, the Ren family dominates, and Ren Gong's government orders are most accessible here, and we refugees dare to run here when there is a disaster.As for the local inferior gentry in Kang County, I don't know. "

"As for poor families, they are wealthy households other than aristocratic families, but only those with manors and fields are counted. If the family has accumulated wealth, it is not counted."

Xinghe was overwhelmed by the mist, and it took him a long time to digest the words: "So, we are just common people, we have to earn enough money to buy enough land to be considered a poor family, and then we are promoted from the poor family to the lowest class of nobles, right?"

The old gentleman nodded and shook his head again: "Generally speaking, this is the case, but there are always exceptions in the world. Because of today's martial arts, if there is someone with outstanding roots, the martial arts can break through the innate and reach the realm of martial saints, as long as they are called to the court, the court will have its own Awarding a reward, not to mention a poor family, is easy for a powerful man in charge of a county. Although such cases are rare, they happen in every dynasty.

In fact, in other countries, even in the Yong Dynasty before Ren Gong came out, this was the only rank for the common people to be promoted. "

"Wu Sheng?"

The old scholar replied: "The nine realms of martial arts: body training, bone refining, dantian, qi circulation, Zhou Tian, ​​Rendu, Houtian, Xiantian, and martial sage. Body exercise and bone refining are the first stages. To sharpen the body and skin to increase strength, Practicing to the extreme level is only a feat of strength, everyone can practice at this stage, at this time people have a rare lifespan.

After the dantian, you can use qi to nourish your body and increase your lifespan by ten years; after exercising qi, you can defend your life with qi and add another [-] years to your life; Zhou Tian can release your qi to prevent qi from hurting the enemy and increase your lifespan by another [-] years .

Martial arts training is difficult, and it is rare for ordinary people to become Zhou Tian. As for after Zhou Tian, ​​one needs to be able to advance further. What is needed is not only natural talent. I am afraid that only the descendants of noble families or direct disciples of sects have this condition.But that is no longer what the old man can know. "

The old book business took a pointed look at Xinghe.

Xinghe meditates and practices every day, and can even release his internal energy to the outside to hurt the enemy. All old scholars know that according to the normal division of martial arts, Xinghe should have already reached the Zhoutian realm, but since ancient times, which Zhoutian master has turned out to be such a What about Xiao Lang who can't be killed with a single blow from a rabbit?

Whether it's a special technique or an adventure, the old scholar feels that Xinghe must have a lot of origins, so this remark is intended to guide Xinghe to be careful.

Xinghe naturally understood what the old scholar meant, and thanked the old scholar gratefully.He secretly vowed in his heart that if it is not necessary, he must never show his Wanhua Kungfu in front of outsiders.But at the same time, he truly regards the old scholar as his own grandfather, and is determined to be filial in the future.

Silently thinking about the possibility of being promoted to a martial sage by Wanhua Xinfa, Xinghe finally let out a long sigh: "Grandpa, do you think I am practicing martial arts and comprehending martial sages, or do I work hard to accumulate family wealth in order to promote my family to a noble family one day?" .

To comprehend the Martial Sage, Xinghe only needs to work hard, but success or failure is two-sided, which is actually a gamble.

However, accumulating family assets in order to be promoted to the gentry, although it can be expected, requires the efforts of several generations. If the descendants are unworthy, it is still impossible.

As for being a low-class citizen for the rest of his life, Xinghe never thought about it.Wouldn't it be unfair for me to do nothing for the rest of my life with such a super big golden finger of the Sword Three system?If the Jiansan system knows, I'm afraid they will cry.

Xinghe clenched his fists and said, "Why don't we just do both, and work hard on both sides!"
