The Reborn Lady is Farming

   Liu Lang opened the door with a stern face, and Mu Yangling looked at him with a smile, "Cousin Lang, how old is Cousin Lun, and you are very particular about it."

Liu Lang's face turned even darker, and he taught her with a stern face, "You are already nine years old, and Allen is eight years old. You will be married in a few years, why are you so reckless? Fortunately, today Only a few of us know about it, and it's our own cousins ​​and brothers, what if someone else's family insists on you being responsible for marrying you?"

   Mu Yangling opened his mouth wide and stammered: "I, I'm only nine years old..."

  Liu Lang frowned, "You're already an adult at the age of nine, and the black girl from Uncle Liu's family got married at the age of thirteen."

   Mu Yangling closed his mouth tightly, thirteen years old…

Liu Lun had already dressed and was doing laundry. When he saw his cousin and cousin come in, he snorted and headed back to the house. Mu Yangling saw that the corners of his eyes were still a little red, and only then did he know that this child was really mind.

  Xiao Bowen didn't know what was going on. He was staring blankly at his cousin and sister, who were all sullen, and didn't dare to joke.

   Mu Yangling said: "Cousin Lang, Uncle said you found two books, so I'll come and have a look."

   "Well, wait, I'll go into the house and get it for you." Liu Lang left the man in the yard and turned back to the house.

  Yeah, just a glance, I don't even have the qualifications to enter the house.

  Liu Lang gave Mu Yangling two books with tattered skins, and said, "I picked them up in a garbage basket of a household in the town. I took them back when I saw the words on them."

There is no bookstore in Qili Township. If they want to buy books, they have to go to the county town. Moreover, a book is not cheap, and books represent inheritance. Therefore, books are rarely thrown away in this era, and Liu Lang is the first to pick them up. Such a baby.

   But everyone in their family is literate, and it’s useless to pick it up, so it’s better to give it to my cousin.

Mu Yangling took the two books, the skin was already rotten, it seemed to be torn apart by someone, she opened it and saw that it was the Analects of Confucius, Mu Yangling's eyes suddenly lit up, and said happily: "Cousin Lang , this is The Analects, although the first five pages are torn, but the back is complete, it is really good, my brother can read some Analects after reading the Three Character Classic."

Liu Lang was very envious, because he didn't understand what "The Analects of Confucius" was, and he said sincerely: "It's good, you can take it back and use it, and I'll look for it later to see if I can find more words with characters. ."

   Mu Yangling saw that he was looking at the book in her hand with longing, and said, "Cousin Lang, why don't I teach you how to read characters. If you know more characters, it will be more convenient to go out and find places in the future."

   Liu Lang was heartbroken and hesitated: "But I can't afford a pen and ink."

   Mu Yangling raised a smiling face, "Our family can't afford brushes and ink, we all draw on the ground with branches, and we don't take the imperial examinations, so if you know some characters, you can write, and you don't need to look good."

This is how Shu Wanniang taught her, but she never allowed Xiao Bowen to draw with branches on the ground, but asked him to write on the table with his fingers dipped in water, just because he was afraid that he would get used to holding branches and become habitual when he learned to hold a pen later. Instead, learn bad words.

   "Then go and see what the other book is?" Liu Lang urged her.

   "It's the Three Character Classic. Cousin Lang can keep this book for himself. We will use the Three Character Classic to learn how to read characters later."

Liu Lang breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "Don't tell my parents about this, I will go to your house every day to find you and learn from your house." Liu Lang hesitated: "Can I take Allen with me? , you also teach my brother."

   "Teaching one is teaching, and teaching two is also teaching. Don't worry, I will keep it a secret."

   Liu Lang had a big smile on his face.

   Mu Yangling was a little sad and sad.

In the past life, the children out of school were very worrying, but the number of out-of-school people only accounted for a small part of the huge national base, but this era is different. Here, 99 out of 100 people are illiterate, or even more. many.

   Only a very small number of people have mastered writing, and the entire Qili Township is full of people who can read and write.

  Mu Yangling once followed Mu Shi to the county seat. She didn’t do anything at the time, she went to the bookstore to look through the history books for a long time, plus the news she got from side-by-side on weekdays, she knew that this was an era similar to the Song Dynasty.

The history before the Later Tang Dynasty is the same as the previous life, but the chaos of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms after the Later Tang Dynasty has changed. Zhou Taizu Guo Wei was born in poverty. Politics, economic development, and more can be regarded as a good emperor with great talent and prudence. In history, he only served as an emperor for six years and died of illness, leaving many regrets, so that Zhou was swallowed up by the Northern Song Dynasty, but here Historical records record that he was in power for seventeen years, not only developed the agricultural economy, but also unified the whole country in the southern and northern wars. It was Zhou Shizong, whose son Zhou Gaozong later succeeded.

   So the Northern Song Dynasty, which unified the whole country, disappeared, but history has turned a corner and returned to the origin.

Zhou Shizong paid equal attention to both civil and military affairs, and was also conscientious in government affairs, but Zhou Gaozong did not like military officials, for fear that the military general would seize the power of the Guo family when he took control of the military. Changed Zhou Shizong's foreign policy to Annei, and most of the domestic troops were used to guard against civil uprisings and military generals' mutiny.

Zhou Gaozong said: "I live in the great China, and I have never seen barbarians ruled by the barbarians of the barbarians. Every time the dynasties and dynasties destroyed the country, they rose up from the troublesome people and military generals. Therefore, in order to ensure the stability of the great Zhou Dynasty, I must station troops in the pass to guard against danger. Not yet."

   Therefore, the 800,000 soldiers who originally stationed outside the pass were scattered and returned to various places in the pass, but they did not expect that the Dangxiang and the Jurchen tribe gradually grew, and the city lost its city and lost its territory, and the front continued to move south.

  The emperor of Da Zhou has not yet had time to support the civil officials, but the generals have been suppressed and scattered. There is no other way but to reuse the family.

   The nine-rank Zhongzheng system, which was finally abolished in the Tang Dynasty, gradually rose again. Although Da Zhou did not say that the nine-rank Zhongzheng system was used to select officials, the imperial examination had been monopolized by aristocratic families, and there were even fewer people who read and read.

Take Mingshui County, for example, the huge Mingshui County has only one small academy, and the children who can sit and study in it are all the children of the rich but uneducated. There is only one bookstore in the county. It took nearly two hours to go to the county town to buy books, and there were only six shelves of books in the bookstore. Mu Yangling heard from her mother that most of the books are still in the hands of the family.

  From Mu Yangling's eyes, Da Zhou is going backwards.

   It is a matter of pride to have someone who can read in Linshan Village, and Shu Wanniang has always been gentle and submissive, so she will seriously teach children who want to learn to read.

   Suddenly coming into contact with the outside world, the children's hearts stirred up some unrealistic ideas.

   The eldest son of Liu Sanshu's family, Liu Yong, followed Shu Wanniang to recognize the characters for a few days, and then went to the county seat to go to school to take the imperial examination.

   This was a shock to the Liu family.

  Uncle Liu’s family barely has enough food and clothing, and they don’t even dare to get sick, let alone studying for the imperial examinations?

The patriarch thought that such a determined person was easy to emerge from the clan. If he had the ability, he would be able to support him with the strength of the whole clan. Although the cost of studying was high, the rewards from the test were equally generous, so the patriarch went to Shu Wanniang to ask. Liu Yong's talent for reading.
