The Ordinary Man's Guide to Fast Travel

"Satisfied, satisfied. I am really very satisfied! I was too tired yesterday, so I want to take a nap. If you sleep next to me, I am afraid I can't control myself."

Liu Fufeng was stunned by Chao Yao's words. Every lady from a noble family would be evasive and reluctant to say anything, but she was different. She faced her inner feelings directly without hiding anything.

"Okay, I'll go read a book first, and then I'll take a closer look at how you can't control yourself tonight."

Liu Fufeng walked out the door with a big laugh and let out a breath towards Yao.

The young man's body is full of energy. From then on, Chao Yao had to soak in the soup room in the space almost every day, and he had to drink more spiritual spring water to recover.

Time flies. In a few days, Liu Fufeng will go to take part in the imperial examination, and his home suddenly receives more visiting cards.

Chao Yao checked Liu Fufeng's study one by one, and the more he looked, the more confused he became.

"My dear husband, why are all these invitations to you to write poems and drink wine?"

Liu Fufeng, who was reading a book nearby, glanced at the posts. "Some of them really want me to relax, while others are trying to eliminate those who might win first. The top three in the previous exams almost always suffer misfortune before the joint examination every year."

Chao Yao was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat and patted her chest.

"Husband, you'd better not attend these useless gatherings. Who knows if someone will take advantage of you to get involved."

Liu Fufeng put down the book and scratched Chao Yao's nose with a smile on his face.

"Your husband is not a competitive person, so he will not participate in any games before the exam. And it is not easy to be the top three. Without a certain family background, it is not certain whether you can leave home alive. As a person, you must be moderate. The exam is held every three years. How many top scorers are there in the court? I don't have the idea of ​​becoming a top scorer overnight. That is unrealistic. So I just want to get a good ranking and achieve my goal."

"What is your goal?"

"Get a relatively low ranking in the exam, and try to be sent to another county to be a county magistrate."

"County magistrate? I thought all successful candidates would first enter the Hanlin Academy or something like that."

Liu Fufeng's smile grew wider and wider. "Those who can enter the Hanlin Academy are usually the top three, or the sons of high-ranking officials from noble families. For someone like me who has no family background, generally speaking, being sent to a poor county as a county magistrate is already very good. It is because our country is so vast that I can have such an opportunity."

"I see. But you are only eighteen years old. If you become a county magistrate, perhaps the county magistrate's advisors will be older than you. The future is still long, and there is plenty of time to struggle for the rest of your life."

"That's right. We need to make achievements in the county and work our way up. If we are lucky enough to make further progress in the future, we will be able to secure our position."

Chao Yao thought about the fact that the civil service exam is like a thousand troops crossing a single-plank bridge, so she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Will it be difficult to pass the Jinshi exam?"

Liu Fufeng straightened his back with a look of pride on his face.

"I don't know if it's difficult for others, but for me, it's a sure thing."

Chao Yao looked at the confidence in his eyes and couldn't help but sigh and envy.

She always seemed to lack some confidence and courage.

And every time Liu Fufeng showed confidence or arrogance, she would want to get closer and love him more.

Liu Fufeng's confidence was indeed well-founded. After the palace examination results were announced, he ranked second.

The ranking, which was neither inconspicuous nor low, was exactly what he wanted.

The following process made the Liu and Chao families gain enough face.

Carve plaques, erect flagpoles, build memorial archways, set up banquets...

Looking through the family tree, Liu Fufeng is the first person in the Liu family in recent generations to pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi.

It didn't take long before the court's appointment came down.

As Liu Fufeng wished, he was assigned to a county slightly far away from Liucheng.

Chao Yao and Liu Fufeng took a horse carriage ride for a month before they arrived at this place.

Looking at the city gate in front of him and the green trees on both sides, Chao Yao couldn't believe it.

She pointed at the flower on the tree that was at least one meter in diameter and asked Liu Fufeng, "Is this the Yao County that is defined as a barren land?"

She really could not control her hands that wanted to pick a flower. How could there be such a big hibiscus flower in the world?

That's a pink hibiscus, right?

Liu Fufeng looked at his wife's cute little appearance and curled the corners of his mouth.

"Yaoyao seems to like this place very much?"

Chao Yao said seriously: "The flowers on the tree are very attractive to me!"

Liu Fufeng held Chaoyao in his arms and said, "This place is indeed defined as a barren land, mainly because there are more mountains and hills and very few farmlands. In addition, because it is spring-like all year round and there are many rainy days, the vegetation is lush and there are insects, snakes, rats and ants everywhere."

Hearing his words, Chao Yao immediately got goosebumps all over his body.

Although she came from the countryside and was not surprised by insects, snakes, rats and ants, she was still a little scared when she thought about them being everywhere.

"Don't worry, Yaoyao. My family has prepared a doctor for me. If we pay more attention on a daily basis, we should be able to avoid most problems."

Chao Yao breathed a sigh of relief. With the spiritual spring by her side, she was not afraid of being bitten, but her scalp felt a little numb.

Then, thinking of the terrain of Yao County, he blurted out without much thought: "There are many mountains and hills, so wouldn't it be better to make terraces? Farmland doesn't necessarily have to be on the plains."

Liu Fufeng was startled, "What are terraced fields?"

Hearing such a question, Chao Yao immediately broke out in a cold sweat on his back.

She was so relaxed that she forgot she had traveled through time.

Not understanding the situation well in advance leads to casually saying things that may not necessarily be in line with the current social reality.

Liu Fufeng was very smart. He had long discovered that Chao Yao was different from other girls in the boudoir.

But this is his wife after all, the person he will spend the rest of his life with.

As long as she does not endanger the country and society and does not harm others, she is the person with whom I want to walk hand in hand for the rest of my life.

It doesn’t matter what secrets you have, who doesn’t have a secret?

He himself is a big secret!

When Chao Yao suddenly said this, Liu Fufeng looked at her expression and immediately understood that she must be thinking about how to deal with him again.

Liu Fufeng's encouraging and tolerant look made Chao Yao feel relieved.

"I saw it in a book, but I can't remember which book it was. The book said that terraced fields are layered fields built along the contour lines. Because the fields look like steps, they got the name. In places where the terrain is mostly hilly and mountainous, terraced fields that can conserve water and are suitable for planting are built with the help of dams, making it possible to plant large areas in hilly and mountainous areas."

Liu Fufeng thought seriously about what Chao Yao said, "I will keep this in mind. After I take office and become stable, will you try to help those farmers build terraces? If we can solve the problem of arable land for local farmers, many people will be able to fill their stomachs, which will be a great merit."

Chao Yao smiled shyly. She was familiar with making terraced fields.

It doesn’t matter whether she can gain merit or not, all she needs to do is survive in every world.

Of course, if she can help more people, she doesn't mind providing more help.

“I am willing to do my part to help others.”

The two chatted as they followed the county government officers and soldiers who came to pick them up, entered the city gate, and arrived at the county government.
