How to survive in poverty: I use a simulator to farm

Chapter 91 He’s good, I’m good, everyone is good

Chen Feiyan had no idea about the plans of Chen Yixing and Wang Yingying.

Even if she knew, she would just laugh uncontrollably.I won't take it to heart.

She had studied a lot of history before.

In ancient times, it was not unusually difficult for lower-class scholars to obtain fame.

There are many people who will never be able to pass the Juren exam!

There are even more people who will never be able to pass the Jinshi exam.

Famous failed students in history, such as Huang Chao, a scholar in the Tang Dynasty, and Hong Xiuquan, the leader of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the late Qing Dynasty... were unable to pass the examination and become officials, so they moved to other lanes and chose to be uprising leaders.

Chen Feiyan once thought that if her family's conditions improved in the future and she was truly rich and had no worries about food and clothing, she would also want her children to study.

However, after she inquired with her current husband, she slowly gave up that idea.

Ancient scholars spent too much money.

A book copied by others, such as the thin "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Surnames", and "Thousand Character Classic", will cost more than 100 yuan.

Even if you copy the books yourself.The cost of this ink and paper is also a considerable expense.

Langhao pens are very expensive.

A second-hand one costs at least [-] yuan.

A new Langhao pen costs at least one tael of silver depending on the material of the pen barrel.

...In addition, to send your children to a private school, you have to ask for help and take care of everything.Only if someone guarantees it will the master accept it.

After that, they had to pay a sum of money to their children every year.Ten pounds of meat, eight pounds of glutinous rice, six pounds of eggs, four pounds of brown sugar, two pounds of noodles, one pound of red beans, and half a pound of dates.

This fee alone costs almost twenty taels of silver.

If the son is promising in his studies, after ten or eight years of studying and being able to take the examination, he will still have to pay about ten taels of silver for various expenses, such as the joint guarantee money from the master, the registration fee paid to the government, travel expenses, etc. Food expenses, cooking expenses...

Studying costs money, and those who open drug stores and oil shops in the county may not be able to provide a single scholar.

Unless you are the kind of landowner with a big family, an ancestral house, large fields and mountains and forests.

In the eyes of the truly powerful people at the top, these people are just poor people who come from farming and studying families.Nothing.

Thinking of this, Chen Feiyan suddenly sighed thoughtfully.

In ancient society, it was not easy for men or women at the bottom to change their destiny and class.

Unless there is a great opportunity to meet your true noble person.

Chen Feiyan has heard since she was a child that during the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a queen named Liu E who became the queen of the emperor's husband who was several years younger than her through her second marriage, as a singer, dancer, and flower drum girl, and without her own biological son.

As the saying goes, if one person attains the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven.

Empress Liu's ex-husband Gong Mei also had a lot of glory from her.

He was first given the surname "Liu" by Empress Liu's husband, the emperor himself, so he changed his name to "Liu Mei".

Later, he himself was personally named a general by the emperor and received a title.

And before he left Sichuan in the early years, the two sons he had with his first wife also became generals.They even became Queen Liu’s natal family.

Thinking of this, Chen Feiyan subconsciously looked at Chen Yixuan's figure next to her.

This man is tall and strong.

It looks quite handsome after being cleaned up.

His height of 1.9 meters stands out from the crowd whether in ancient times or in modern times.If he could eat more and practice some martial arts, he might be able to become a general one day in the future.

With a smile on her face, Chen Feiyan's head suddenly became hot and she told Chen Yixuan what was in her heart.

Chen Yixuan shook his head when he heard this.

"Daughter-in-law, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield. If you are not careful, you will lose your life. A big guy like me is very conspicuous. Once on the battlefield, I will be the first choice target of the archers. If I really go to the battlefield one day, I will I don’t think I’ll live long.”

Chen Feiyan felt a little uncomfortable when she heard this. "Master, can you say something nice?"

"The weather is getting cold, and the Chinese New Year is almost here, so you can't say such unlucky words."

With that said, Chen Feiyan grabbed his hand.

Feeling the rough cracks on his fingers and looking up at his weathered face, she suddenly felt a trace of sympathy and pity for him.

This man has lived through countless hardships over the years.

He is obviously only a 22-year-old young man, but under these years of wind, frost, rain and snow, he has aged like an old man in his 30s.

The skin all over his body was dark, and there were crow's feet at the corners of his eyes.

"Master, tomorrow morning I will quietly stew a few slices of sausage in your bowl. You should be careful when eating, but you must not let your brother and your sister-in-law know about it."

After hearing this, Chen Yixuan shook his head and said, "Daughter-in-law, you can't just think about me. You also have to think more about yourself. These days, I see that you are not eating well either."

Chen Feiyan smiled and replied: "It's okay, don't think too much. I've eaten everything I should eat. Now my mission is to make you eat well, sleep well, and improve your physical fitness."

"In our family, when you are well, everyone is well."

After saying that, Chen Feiyan carefully brought him a large bowl of stewed rice.

"Master, I secretly made this for you earlier. Eat it now."

Chen Yixuan is tall and tall, and he usually does a lot of work.Three meals a day cannot satisfy him.

Many nights, Chen Yixuan woke up from hunger.

Now seeing his wife putting the bowl of food into his hand, Chen Yixuan hesitated and ate it.

My wife is right.

When you are well, your family will be well.

Without him in this family, his wife and children would be at the mercy of others.

In April this year, had he not survived his serious illness, his family would not have been able to find landowner Zhang Da to rent the twenty-plus acres of land.

Even if his family is really rented out, his wife and children simply won't be able to farm.

Everything in the fields is hard work.Only women with big feet can barely do it.

After he was full and drank a bowl of broth, Chen Feiyan suddenly told him a new plan of his.

"Daddy, isn't our soybean harvest going to be great this year? I want to make tofu at home."

"I knew before that soybeans can also be used to make tofu skin and dried tofu. Moreover, if dried tofu can be made into a long cylindrical shape, it can also be made into roasted gluten. If our family develops roasted gluten, we will Maybe we can actually make a small fortune."

Chen Yixuan heard that she wanted to eat tofu and nodded immediately.

"Daughter-in-law, I'm going to soak a pound of soybeans right now."

After hearing this, Chen Feiyan stopped him directly. "Daddy, don't be in a hurry yet. Get some rest and I'll take care of this myself."
