I am a pirate in Ming Dynasty

The sun is shining all over the sky, filling the air in the fields with the warmth of spring and summer. This piece of paradise-like place is still a paradise undisturbed by outsiders.

Sparse noises could be heard throughout the fields. Farmers in twos and threes were sitting on the ridges with hoe handles talking about trivial matters.

A thin figure walked up the ridge in the distance. He also had a hoe on his neck and a big straw hat on his head. As he was far away, people kept saying hello to him.

The long gown he was wearing was yellow and shabby, and was stained with some loess. There were one or two pieces of grass between the raised sleeves, and the occasionally exposed arms looked a little dark.

Several people sitting at the head of the field also smiled and said hello: "Mr. Fang is here to weed the field again. You are so diligent that we farmers are embarrassed."

The called figure paused for a moment. A thin layer of sweat could be seen on his slightly raised forehead. A simple and honest smile appeared on his young face: "Don't dare to delay. If this year's trial planting is successful, the seeds in the field will Grain production will reach another level."

"Ah? We already harvested 10% more grain last year than in previous years, and it will be even higher this year! Mr. Fang Xiao is really amazing!"

"It's needless to say that you think everyone is like us and that you're a bigot who doesn't know anything. He relies on the sky and the earth for his food. Mr. Fang Xiao is not an ordinary person."

"Okay, okay, as long as you talk a lot, let Mr. Fang Xiao go. If you delay other people's important events, you will all have to reduce production in the coming year."

"Bah, bah, bah, you crow's mouth, Mr. Fang will definitely increase production."

Fang Hang said hello to a few people and continued to walk slowly on the green grass towards the school.

From the grove at the end, a dilapidated carriage jolted over, driven by Yang Tianshou, the third brother of the Yang family.

"Brother Tianshou, are we home?" In the open window, an elegant young man reading a book raised his head.

Yang Tianshou pulled up the car curtain, tilted his body and said, "I saw you were studying seriously along the way, but I didn't tell you. There are still a hundred or ten meters to go before we enter the village."

"Well, no wonder I smelled a familiar smell. No matter how good the place in the county is, it's still not as good as our own land." The young man's eyes flashed with a slight look of expectation.

"Haha, that's right, the county town is aggrieved, and there is no open area like our Yangjiabao." Yang Tianshou scanned the surroundings, touched his head with some doubts and said: "What's going on, Taotao, why is the entrance to the village like this?" Lengqing, haven’t you written back before?”

Yuan Taotao pursed his lips and sighed helplessly: "I wrote it, but why would they come out to greet me just because of this?"

"After passing the county examination, hospital examination, and government examination, Taotao, you are already a scholar and can be called a master. Isn't this a great event?" Yang Tianshou secretly smacked his tongue. He has lived for more than twenty years. , this is the first time I have seen such a young scholar. Oh my god, if I take the Juren or Jinshi exams in the future, wouldn’t I have to be much younger, and my future prospects are limitless!

Only Yuan Taotao smiled bitterly and said nothing. Almost no students who came out of the school were willing to take the imperial examination, and few of them really cared about the imperial examination!

But these words cannot be said to others.

Yuan Taotao is thirteen years old this year. He has already understood a lot of things during this exam. All are inferior, but he is good at reading. With his reputation as a scholar, he will be greeted with respectful voices wherever he goes, which makes life and work much more convenient.

In the eyes of ordinary people, he has become a being of awe.

But what do these mean here? Yuan Taotao put his eyes on the book: "What does the reputation of a scholar mean?"

Yang Tianshou nodded silently, "Well, he is indeed a scholar, and his ambitions are further than what a simple man like me can see. There is no chance that he will be the number one scholar in the future."

Behind the village house, there is a newly built courtyard, covering an area of ​​more than an acre in front and back, with houses crisscrossing each other. Entering the courtyard, it is divided into several different places.

Men and women wearing uniforms walked around frequently, making the atmosphere in the entire courtyard extremely busy.

Outside the gate, a man about two meters tall walked in with two teenagers of medium build.

"Ahem!" The tall man coughed twice, but no one in all directions seemed to have heard it. In the courtyard, there was the noise of blacksmithing, the sound of the big bellows of the stove, plus all kinds of noisy sounds. It's just a jumble of songs.

"Brother Zhu, your voice doesn't seem to be as loud as this noise. Why don't you try a louder voice?" A thin boy from behind approached and reminded.

The big man's eyes lit up, he immediately put his arms on his hips, cleared his throat, and shouted loudly: "Stop it all!"

A huge sound blew through the entire courtyard like a gust of wind, and all the teenagers suddenly stopped as if they had been struck by lightning.

A handsome-looking young man ran out holding a stack of draft paper. The paper was covered with a large black patch, and ink was dripping down the paper.

"Hey, who made such a loud voice? I was so scared that the manuscript I just finished wasted. It turns out it's really you, Liu Tiezhu!" After saying this, the young man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes threw away the paper in his hand and said three words. He rushed out in two steps.

"Hey, Yue Heng, Yue Heng, you..."

Before Liu Tiezhu finished speaking, the opponent's fist was already in front of him. In desperation, he had no choice but to take action.

Yue Heng's fist was full of explosive power like a sharp knife. Liu Tiezhu received his punch, but it seemed as if he had been hit by two powerful forces.

Before he could react, Yue Heng turned around and kicked him over. The combination of speed and power is simply impeccable.

Compared to his opponent, Liu Tiezhu's movements seemed much slower. With his strength, he could block the opponent's strength, but as the opponent's moves became faster, he could not take advantage for a while.

"Stop!" From the room inside, a girl with a ponytail ran out angrily.

Hearing this voice, Liu Tiezhu and Yue Heng stopped almost at the same time. Liu Tiezhu threw his arms complainingly and said, "I'm just here to inform you that today is the day to gather. Why are you still trying to get started with me?"

"It's you who deserves a beating. The formula I just calculated was completely ruined by your yelling like a pig." Yue Heng put his right hand behind his back without leaving a trace, his wrist trembling slightly.

"Okay, please stop saying a few words, okay? We're not in school anymore. Brother, why are you still acting like a child?" Liu Qiushui couldn't help shouting.

But when facing Yue Heng, Liu Qiushui seemed gentle: "Yue Heng is obviously younger than you, but you always bully him!"

Liu Tiezhu was stunned: "Am I bullying him?"

Looking at the changed sister in front of him, Liu Tiezhu's eyes drifted between his sister and Yue Heng, and finally he just sighed: "It's because the girl is older and her elbows are turned outward!"

"You, what are you talking about? Brother, I... I hate you so much!" Perhaps it was because girls are thin-skinned. Liu Qiushui's face instantly turned into a monkey's butt after saying two words, and she turned around and trotted away. .

Leaving behind a large group of people with big eyes and small eyes...
