Chapter 32 Status Quo

The illness has gone away like silk. It has been a month since I came into this world. I have been trapped in my room for a while, and it was only recently that I was able to get out of the room and move around.

In early spring, the sun was shining brightly. The warm sun was shining on his body and he felt his body was warm. During this period, Li Jie learned that it was the 17th year of Chenghua, this body was just 5 years old, and the current saint was none other than Zhu Jianshen.

Although Zhu Jianshen was a bit dim-witted, he was not cruel. Historically, during the Chenghua period, the court was full of demons. Zhu Jianshen's weak character was cultivated by his childhood experiences. Nowadays, all kinds of monsters and monsters are making trouble under the banner of Zhu Jianshen, who has a weak character.

The notorious West Factory in history was established during his reign. At this time, the great eunuch Wang Zhi was brutally killing people with lofty ideals and making money for wanton purposes. At the same time, he was also fighting openly and secretly with the traditional strength of the eunuchs, the East Factory. Under the leadership of Shang Ming, the East Factory

The fight with Xichang will be back and forth. If nothing happens, Shang Ming will join forces with Li Zi Province next year, and Wang Zhi will lose power by then.

The public security conditions in Fuzhou Prefecture where Li Jie is now are pretty good. Except for the occasional martial arts gangsters who commit crimes and commit crimes, other martial arts people don't dare to gather in groups to make trouble. The imperial army and the imperial guards are not just decorations.

People who go to the martial arts world will eventually come to the ground, and the relationship between the martial arts world and the court is peaceful and peaceful.

If you want to avoid annihilation, the martial arts forces are a bit unreliable after all. At this time, the world is also in chaos. There are conflicts between the righteous way and the demon sect. The righteous way forces are not monolithic. Shaolin and Wudang are transcendent, and the Five Mountains Sword Sect is also fighting for the position of leader.

They are both nasty to each other, let alone the other forces, they are just the yes-men of the big forces.

To forge iron, you must be strong yourself. Only when you are strong can you face your future destiny.

"Young master, it's almost time. Although the weather is getting warmer, you still have to be careful not to let evil spirits enter your body again. Go back early." Maid Xiaocui said softly.

During this period, Xiaocui discovered that Li Jie was different from before after recovering from his illness. He gradually became taciturn and not as lively and active as before. He no longer clamored to play every day. Instead, he would sometimes sit for most of the day, following

He looks like a little grown-up, and he does things in a very orderly manner, a bit like a scholar.

"Okay, let's go back. Did daddy say when he will be back when he went out this time?" After hearing this, Li Jie got up and walked to his house, asking as he walked. This time, when Lin Zhennan comes back, Li Jie plans to discuss with him about studying.

The thing is, in this era when everything is low-grade and only people with good academic skills have a low status, the status of warriors is indeed not high. If you want to gain status in the court, the imperial examination is an unavoidable hurdle, and you need to find a famous teacher to guide you.

"I heard from my wife before that I should go back home in about two or three days."

The rows of buildings around the street are bustling with people. Although they look chaotic at first glance, they are actually very orderly. The sounds of vendors selling snacks and daily necessities can be heard from the surrounding stalls. There are also farmers who come to the market nearby, and fishermen are selling mountain and wild groceries.

, people flow in and out of the shops on both sides of the street from time to time. This is the West Market in Fuzhou Prefecture, and it is also where the entire city's vendors gather.

The streets are crowded with people. There are wealthy children dressed in silks and satins, who are surrounded by servants and guards as they walk. There are also poor people in coarse linen and patchwork clothes selling mountain groceries from time to time. Li Jie's paragraph

I haven't seen anyone half-clothed when I go out. Although there are traitors in the court, the impact on Fuzhou Prefecture, which is far away from the capital, is not particularly great. Overall, it seems that it is still a fairly stable society.

Like the late dynasty, the society was in turmoil and the people were in dire straits.

While Li Jie was admiring the ancient market with great interest, he asked Xiaocui questions from time to time, trying to understand the world today through her.

Seeing a mountain man selling firewood next to him, Li Jie asked: "Xiaocui, how much does a load of firewood cost now?"

Xiaocui, who came from a poor background, knew this problem very well and replied: "Young master, once the firewood can be sold, it can be sold for about 33 cents."

After listening to Xiaocui's answer, Li Jie silently began to make calculations. He had a grain store in his family that knew the price of grain. Now one bucket of rice (one bucket is equivalent to 18.88 kilograms today, ten buckets is one stone, and one stone in the future is about 94.4 kilograms today).

For about 100 Wen, the mountain people can get a little more than 6 Jin of rice by chopping 100 Jin of firewood. Based on the fact that a family of five eats 3 Jin of rice a day, it is enough for two days of rations. A load of firewood can be harvested in half a day if you chop it diligently.

, coupled with other incomes, it can be seen that the current prices are generally stable, and the living standards of the people are still passable.

…………

After Li Jie got home, he went to the main room to inform Mrs. Wang that he was back. Mrs. Wang had been caring about Li Jie since she was seriously ill, especially after Lin Zhennan learned that Li Jie's Jingguan was damaged.

She was crying all day long. She didn't know that Li Jie knew about it. She thought that Li Jie knew nothing about it, so she forced a smile every time she met Li Jie.

After the visit, Li Jie returned to the small courtyard where he lived, put on a set of short game clothes, and began to step on the horse. After recovering from the illness, Lin Zhennan began to teach Li Jie some introductory pile skills. Since he is now only 5, he is too young.

At the age of 10, he could only learn some basic postures. He hoped that after practicing, Li Jie would be able to strengthen his body and start to officially teach his family's martial arts after two years.

Li Jie is currently practicing the basic horse stance technique that is widely circulated in the martial arts world. After all, except for the evil-proof swordsmanship, the Lin family's other martial arts are a bit commonplace. Fortunately, there are also family kung fu that can be learned.

It’s not like many people who want to learn but can’t get started.

The martial arts community is still very cautious about the inheritance of martial arts. For example, if you join a certain sect, you don't want to learn any advanced martial arts in the first three years.

After the inspection, after learning is successful, advanced martial arts will be gradually taught. Wulin sects do not accept disciples from everyone. Basically, they only accept young children. Training from an early age is conducive to strengthening the sense of belonging to the sect. Older people

It is basically impossible for him to lead an art master. It is basically impossible for Luo Denuo, the second disciple of the Huashan Sect, to get in if Yue Buqun had not had ulterior motives.

With his feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, he squatted in a half-squat, as if he were riding a horse. Since Li Jie had just started to practice horse riding, and he was too young and his body had not yet opened up, from the first 2 minutes to the current 10 minutes,

It was already a relatively big improvement. He took a long breath after closing his body, rested for a while and then started practicing again. Li Jie was very clear about the principle that you can't reach a thousand miles without taking small steps.

After finishing the exercise, he was already covered in sweat and sticky. Li Jie walked to the bathroom. Since he started practicing martial arts, Xiaocui had prepared hot water every day after Li Jie started practicing, waiting for Li Jie to freshen up after finishing the exercise.

"Young Master, don't you need my help today?" Xiao Cui asked crisply.

"No, I can just wash myself. I don't need your service." When Li Jie took a bath for the first time in this world, Xiaocui followed him into the bathroom as usual, which made Li Jie very uncomfortable with modern life.

The first time she refused Xiaocui's service, Xiaocui thought she was dissatisfied with her, curling her lips and looking unhappy. After that, Li Jie explained for a long time before she was fooled, but every day when she took a shower, she

She would ask again, but she didn't know that Lin Ping had a new soul inside her body. It was not her own fault, but Li Jie couldn't explain it to her.

After taking a shower, Li Jie walked to the dining room. It was time for dinner. The dining table was filled with chicken, duck and fish. Although the Lin family did not have much status in the martial arts world, they were not short of money, and their reputation in the local area was not bad.

The farm outside the city has 300 acres of good mature land, and only charges 50% of the rent from its tenants. The farm has a good reputation. It also operates a cloth shop and a grain store in the city. As for the escort agency, it is not its main business, but only

Since it was the foundation established by my great-grandfather Lin Yuantu, it was not easy to abandon it.
