A father and son were walking in front, walking around the green brick path towards the library at the back.

The father is about forty years old, dressed as a member of the military, tall and thin, with a goatee, and this little boy looks about 60 years old, fair and fat, holding the wooden sword he just bought towards the roadside.

The flowers are dancing wildly.

The little boy's eyes suddenly flashed with excitement. He turned to his father and shouted that he would not study and that he would become a general in the future. As a result, his father gave him a slap on the back of the head.

Seeing the man beating him so hard, Lin Haoran, a bystander, could not help but grin. Adhering to the principle that watching the excitement is not too big a deal, he silently paid attention to the father and son to see if there would be any murder.

But I heard this member stare and curse angrily: "Not to mention that our family is not a military household! Even if you are really capable and exchange your life for military exploits, making you the commander-in-chief, or even making you a marquis, so what? I

The court uses civility to control military affairs. A small censor can control you to death. High-ranking officials dare to point their fingers at you and scold you. Are you stupid and think of becoming a soldier?

?”

The little boy covered the aching back of his head, but he refused to change his stubbornness, or he was resisting reading in his heart. He rolled his eyes and said: "Our family is making medicinal materials, so let me run the business head office! I want to transfer the business

Go to Guangzhou, go to the capital, and become the richest man in the world like Shen Wansan..."

oops……

Before he could finish his words this time, he was hit hard on the back of the head. His father scolded him with an expression of hatred: "Since you know Shen Wansan, you still say such crazy things! What about the richest man in the world?

?What can I do with my wealth? Isn’t it that our house was confiscated and we were exiled to Yunnan? Who is our family richer than the county magistrate? Don’t I treat the magistrate respectfully every time I meet him?”

"Then what do you think we should do?" The little boy learned the lesson this time. He covered his head with his hands and looked at his father pitifully. At the same time, he proved the scientific principle that a stick produces a filial son.

The member of the staff stroked his goatee, looked up at the library with satisfaction, and said with infinite longing: "Everything is of inferior quality, only studying is superior! Stop being naughty and study hard here, and you will have a bright future in the future. If you win the lottery, you will have a bright future."

If you become an official, you can still get support from the state if you don't want to be an official; if you are elected, I will help you make a living even if I spend all my wealth, but I am afraid that you will end up as a sixth-grade county magistrate!"

It's not that he is worried about insufficient financial resources, but that the officialdom has a complete set of rules of the game. First-class Jinshi despises Third-class Jinshi, and Third-class Jinshi despises Juren officials. Promotion in the officialdom has a very important relationship with fame.

Even Yan Shifan, the son of the first assistant Yan Hao, is undoubtedly capable and has a formidable background. However, due to family background problems, even if he reaches the end of the six ministers, he will never have the opportunity to join the cabinet in his life, otherwise he will be criticized by the entire scholar community.

.

This is especially true for Juren. Unless there are special circumstances, it is generally difficult to make progress once you reach the county magistrate.

But the little boy was full of energy, raised the wooden sword in his hand and said loudly and boldly: "I want to be a high official and a governor!"

"Then you must study harder and pass the Jinshi exam!" Yuan Wai said firmly, stroking his goatee with envy: "Who among the officials in the imperial court today is not a first-class or second-class Jinshi? Today's Yange is always a second-class Jinshi.

, Xu Ge is always looking for flowers. If you pass the Jinshi examination, not to mention the chance to enter the Hanlin Academy and the Sixth Department of Science and Technology, even the worst arrangement is to be a county magistrate. As for the governor, as long as it is run properly, it is not out of reach! In short,

, as long as you study hard, anything is possible in today's holy dynasty!"

The little boy put away the wooden sword and asked with bright eyes: "Then can I lead troops to fight?"

Lin Haoran thought he would get a piece of the back of his head, but to his surprise, the member of the army stroked his goatee and said with a smile like a worldly expert: "The Ministry of War in the Ming Dynasty was controlled by civilian officials, and the power of appointing the army lies with the Ministry of War. Now it is controlled by the Ministry of War.

It has become a common practice for civil servants to take command and go on expeditions. If you can really pass the Jinshi examination, you may have the opportunity to command thousands of troops!"

The little boy's eyes were filled with anticipation, and his pace unknowingly accelerated a little. At first, he was still bothered by the books that were like a heavenly book, but now he seemed to have endless motivation, and he couldn't wait to take the imperial examination tomorrow.

Learning is valuable than anything else!

Lin Haoran did not continue to go to the library, but stood there and looked at the father and son walking away. He had some insights in his heart, and something was vaguely sprouting.

This is different after all in the 21st century. This is an era of scholars, peasants, industry and commerce. The status of businessmen is at the lowest level, while the status of civil servants is infinitely higher.

In his previous life, he actually had a chance to become a civil servant, but on the eve of registration, he was charged with molesting a woman by a beautiful policeman. Otherwise, he might not have to be reborn and have a chance to become a mayor or a high-ranking official.

"Destiny is called nature; nature is called Tao; cultivating Tao is called teaching..."

He walked up a wooden staircase and came to a lecture hall full of ancient charm. There were several half-person-high wooden windows on both sides of the lecture hall. The bamboo curtains of the windows had been rolled up, and the afternoon sun was falling like a naughty elf.

On the wood joints of the floor.

Lin Haoran saw the situation inside through the window. There were more than 20 children in the lecture hall who were shaking their heads and reading aloud. Two children shared a table. They were both ** years old. On the table were paper, ink, pen, inkstone and a book.

"The Mean".

In front of the children, an old man in his fifties was sitting at the table, holding tea. His eyes were slightly closed, his head and upper body were shaking slightly, but he didn't know whether he was intoxicated by the tea or the path of the sages.

On the wall behind him, there is a portrait of Confucius, the eternal sage.

"To achieve neutrality, the heaven will have its place, and all things will be nurtured..."

The entire text of "The Doctrine of the Mean" clearly appeared in Lin Haoran's mind, as if these things had already been deeply ingrained in his bones and would never be forgotten no matter what.

Faintly, he felt that he had the ability to take the exam! And from the words of the third master just now, we could know that the original owner of this body was a strong competitor in the county examination case, which fully showed that the original owner of the body was really talented.

Is this a temptation or a trap?

Lin Haoran has never been an impulsive person. He always considers things carefully before taking action, and rarely does anything beyond his ability. Perhaps this quality of his made him not rich and powerful in his previous life, but he was not too bad either.

Coming out of the academy, he watched a carriage passing in front of him, and looked at the direction of the carriage with slight doubts. It turned out that Jiangcun was at a traffic fortress. He knew that the road through the county was in the opposite direction, but he didn't know that the road leading to Jiangcun was in the opposite direction.

Where.

After standing for a moment, he was about to go home when he saw a young man walking directly towards him with two followers.

The young man was tall and tall, with red lips and teeth, but freckles on his face. He had a jade pendant hanging around his waist and was holding a painting fan, swaying it gently with a proud smile on his face.

Lin Haoran stood there, calmly sizing up the young master who was coming towards him. He already had some guesses in his mind. He probably knew this person, and he might be an enemy rather than a friend.

"Hey! How come Lin Ruoyu started selling firewood for a living!"

As a result, when the other party spoke out, it was a bit sarcastic.

Lin Haoran was instantly sure that this person was definitely an old acquaintance, and was probably from the Jiang Mansion. It was probably the man named Third Master who mentioned him to him, and he asked Butler Zhao to inquire, only to find out that he had recently sold

Making a living from firewood.

"Just asking for food!" Lin Haoran said with a smile. He didn't think selling firewood was a shameful thing, but he didn't want to interact with this person too much, so he left.

But the young master stopped him and said with a smile: "You are leaving so soon? Could it be that you have made money these days and are in a hurry to take the exam? If so, I can send you a car to give you a ride, so as to avoid any further mistakes!

"

Lin Haoran heard that there was something in these words, and there must be some secret that he didn't know about, but he still didn't want to have too much interaction with this person, so he smiled and said, "No, I won't go for the exam!"

When the young master heard this, he suddenly laughed. Seeing that Lin Haoran was really about to leave, he stopped laughing and said, "It's understandable that you don't want fame, but don't you even want your sister?"
