Chapter 3: The Way Out

(The new book is on the list. Every click and every recommendation is precious. After 12 o'clock, Nanchao is waiting for you to help me. Thank you!)

In the evening, Zhang Laosan, who was hunting, returned from the mountain, but the big black wolf was not among his prey. When asked, it turned out that he had lost him. The terrain behind Fengshan Mountain is continuous and complex, with high mountains and dense forests, and is mostly inaccessible.

The ground was extremely difficult to navigate, and it was already getting late. After tracking for a while, the old hunter didn't dare to go deeper without finding anything, so he gave up in frustration.



The days have legs, seem to be weightless, and slip away from everyone quietly. It will not change just because there is one more traveler in the world.

In the blink of an eye, autumn turns to winter, and the weather gets colder day by day.

Compared with the unbearable cold, what troubled Chen Jianchen more was that he found that he could not read those "other things" at all.

The political system and mainstream cultural ideology of this plane world are very similar to those of the Ming Dynasty in the earth plane. The content of the imperial examination is very similar. There is also a "Confucianism" and the eight-legged essay is also tested.

What a weird thing!

This made Chen Jianchen feel trance-like and confused, as if he were in a dream, feeling that he was not traveling into another time and space, but the ancient history of the earth's plane.

——The Tiantong Dynasty has been established for nearly a thousand years, and its unification of the world is deeply rooted and unshakable. At the beginning of the founding of the country, Emperor Wu ascended the throne and immediately adopted the opinions of Dong Zhongxu, a scholar in the cabinet, and began to implement the political program of "deposing hundreds of schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone."

, with "the thoughts of benevolence and righteousness and the ethical concepts of monarch and ministers" as the core, maintain the ruling order and deify the autocratic royal power.

It can be said that this method is very effective.

With the firm implementation of each generation of dynasty emperors, this concept has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and penetrated into the bone marrow of everyone. It has achieved "great unification" ideologically, and then managed the entire Tiantong Dynasty like an iron barrel.

of.

Inside the iron barrel, thousands of people live peacefully and peacefully, just like ants in a state of confusion.

It's a pity that Chen Jianchen is not a peaceful person - his extraordinary background means he is destined to be unwilling to settle down. From the perspective of his experience, it is relatively easy to understand many deep-seated things, and he is not so easy to fool.

He also discovered that there were many differences between the Confucian ideological system of the Tiantong Dynasty and the Confucian ideological system with which he was familiar.

For example, the founder of Confucianism in the Tiantong Dynasty was the founding hero Dong Zhongxu, a cabinet scholar who lived to be 138 years old. Later generations respectfully called him "Dong Shengren"; and the only way to become an official was the "Eight-legged Essay"

Most of the content of the questions taken are derived from the "Book of Virtue", "Book of Rites", "Book of Loyalty" and "Book of Law" written by Dong Shengren in his life. They are not allowed to be used freely or go beyond the limits.

"Book of De", "Book of Rites", "Book of Loyalty", and "Book of Dharma" are collectively referred to as the "Four Books". The writing style is classical Chinese, and the entire text is full of "Zhihuzhe" with arrogant teeth and claws. Moreover, these "Zihuzhe" are also used.

Compared with the Tao of Confucius and Mencius, it is more boring, dry, and completely dogmatic. It is rigid and rigid, and its content is completely empty and boring.

Therefore, Chen Jianchen felt disgusted and disgusted from the bottom of his heart. Whenever he picked up a thick scripture, he had the urge to tear it open and wipe his butt with paper.

Each of the "four books" has three big volumes, three, four or twelve, which is enough to wipe his butt for a long time.

It's a pity that this idea can only circulate in my mind and cannot be implemented at all - disrespecting the "Four Books" is disrespecting Saint Dong. According to the dynasty code, this is a serious crime of beheading.

Chen Jianchen didn't want to die.

Not only do I not want to die, I also want to live well and nourished.

However, in order to achieve an ideal standard of living, he must take part in the imperial examination, write eight-legged essays, and hope to win the examination, become a civil servant, and become an official.

Other than that, there is no other way.

It's all because of his condition and he can't do anything else.

Do business? Farm? Learn a craft?

Do not make jokes.

How do you start doing business with no capital, no resources, and no experience? Farmers and craftsmen all belong to the status of "lower people", and they are not allowed to leave. Under the lower class people, there is also a "untouchable", and those who have committed crimes have

people, and the slave class.

"Everything is inferior, but reading is superior."

The strict hierarchy clearly expresses the complete meaning of this sentence.

In fact, the imperial examinations were divided into civil examinations and military examinations, and those who excelled in martial arts could also become officials in the court.

The question is, wouldn’t it be more hilarious if Chen Jianchen was allowed to participate in martial arts competitions with his body like this?

Therefore, the only way before him was Wenju;

There is basically no age limit for the imperial examination. As long as you have obtained the status of a scholar and have not been deprived of it, you can continue taking the exam, even until you die. In the examination room, it is not uncommon to see old scholars who are aging. And in this long life "

During the "Struggle" process, the main means of livelihood for scholars from poor families were to teach in private schools, or to sell calligraphy and paintings, etc., so that they could barely make ends meet and solve the problem of food and clothing.

But Chen Jianchen came through time and space and was reborn, not just to make ends meet.

What can be done?

If you don't like the road ahead, you may not be able to continue walking smoothly; there is a saying that "if you are poor, you want to change", but where is the way out that represents change?

Chen Jianchen doesn't know, at least he feels very confused and hesitant now.

Why……

With a long sigh, he once again forced himself to open the "Book of Virtue" in front of him. He wanted to review the old and learn the new, but after flipping through a few pages absentmindedly, he found that the "new" was unknowable, and even the "old"

They all gradually forgot about it.

It's really fatal.

You must know that the most basic thing to participate in the imperial examination is memory and memorization. You must memorize four books, 12 books and more than 100,000 words word for word. Only if you can memorize them backwards and forwards can you be considered excellent.

The former Chen Jianchen was undoubtedly able to do this.

But it was all said to be in the past.

Modern college students who have traveled through time have certainly inherited the memories of nerds, but these memories are not foolproof, especially in terms of endorsements. If they are not reviewed frequently, they will easily be forgotten as time goes by.

Since time traveling, Chen Jianchen has not read books for more than three months...

"Fuck!"

He closed the "Book of Virtue" fiercely, threw it into the corner of the room, and then walked out of the study room, which was as narrow as a cage.

I really can’t read this book anymore. There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. Let’s talk about anything until spring and school starts; while there is still some preparation time, think about it carefully.

Mo Sanniang was weaving, and an antique loom was humming.

She has a pair of skillful hands, and the cloth she weaves is of high quality and has no worries about marketability. This business is supported by her hard work of weaving day and night.

Chen Jianchen can't help much with this job.

"Liuxian, do you want to go out?"

Chen Jianchen said: "Well, I've been feeling a little irritable recently, so I want to go out for a walk."

"Then go ahead and remember to wear lots of clothes."

The clothes Chen Jianchen wears are all made by Mo Sanniang's handmade tailors. They are old-fashioned in style, and their main feature is that they are thick and durable.

"The clothes on the wanderer's body are threaded in the hands of a loving mother."

Probably so.

The weather was cold, so Chen Jianchen did not go far, but came to a remote grove a few hundred meters south of Jingyang Village.

There was silence in the woods. He walked in, stood still, and began to practice boxing. He was practicing Jeet Kune Do.
