I become a sage by eating books

Chapter 13

After two days of rest, Ning An's health has recovered to 50, and his face looks much better.Under her soft and hard soaking, Deng finally agreed that she could take a hot bath.Standing in front of the tub, Ning An had extremely complicated emotions.After being a woman for more than twenty years, now she is suddenly given a man's body, just thinking about it makes her feel very shy.Although she lives in the open 21st century, she has never even held a man's hand, let alone seen a man's body.

Ning An slowly approached the tub, observing his current appearance through the reflection in the water.Ning An's appearance is [-]% similar to Deng's, with big eyes, slender eyebrows, a tall nose bridge, a thin chin, sexy lips, and a pair of eyes as bright as diamonds. handsome looks.Ning An is very satisfied with his appearance, temperament and quality can be changed through acquired learning, but looks are born, who would not want to look better.

Ning An stood in front of the tub and took off her clothes one by one. When she got to the last one, she still closed her eyes habitually. Although this body was her own now, her heart was still pounding. non-stop.After a while she shivered, then took a deep breath and opened her eyes and walked into the tub.

In the following days, Ning An didn't do much, but just recuperated at home, so Ning An decided to silently write the "Three Character Classics", "Thousand Character Classics" and "Hundred Family Surnames" that he learned when he was a child. Come out and use it as an enlightenment book for several children.

According to Ning An's understanding in the past few days, this should be a parallel world, that is, another world.The dynasty she is in now is the 20th year of the Dayong Dynasty and the 30th year of the founding of the Dayong Dynasty. The emperor is Yan, named Qi.Dayong won the world with martial arts and advocated military force, so there is a shortage in civil governance.However, the world had initially decided that it was time for Dayong to officially employ people, so the emperor paid more and more attention to the imperial examination.

Ning An also learned that the economy of this era is relatively backward, with low food production and underdeveloped commerce. What makes Ning An uncomfortable is that there is no paper here. The bank notes that Doctor Zhang gave were made of specially treated cloth Yes, she can only use simple bamboo slips for silent writing, so this is a very big challenge for her, a novice who has never used a brush.Compared with paper, bamboo slips are not only rough but also difficult to carry. It takes time and effort to record words, and the cost is quite expensive, so it is not easy for an ordinary family to provide a scholar.

After two days, all of Ning An's letters have been silently prepared, and Father Ning has also settled down all the mountain matters.Seeing that the time was ripe, Ning An followed Ning Hai to the village chief's house.

"The students have met the village chief!" Ning An saluted the village chief respectfully.

Wang Youde was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't remember who Ning An was! "Brother Ning, who is this?"

Ning Hai laughed loudly: "Brother Youde, you don't know me, take a closer look!"

Wang Youde sized Ning An up, and said with suspicion in his eyes, "You are Ning An!"

"Isn't this my youngest son Ning An who doesn't live up to expectations!"

Ning Hai said disgusting words, but his tone and demeanor did not look half disgusting.

"I haven't seen you growing up for a long time. I heard that you fell into the water a few days ago and became seriously ill. How are you? Your body is recovering!"

"I'm sorry for the village chief's concern, the student is well!"

Looking at Ning An like this, Wang Youde only thought that he was grown up and sensible.

"That's good, then I'm relieved. I don't know what you are talking about today?"

"There is an important matter, and I won't be able to explain it for a while, so let Goro talk about it."

Wang Youde was puzzled, "Ah, what is so important?"

Ning An said gently: "It's like this. Yesterday we found something in the mountain that we just bought. The students checked the slips and found out that this thing is called yam. It is not only edible but also a valuable medicinal material. The students made many inquiries and learned that yams can be sold for as much as [-] Wen per catty. The students thought this was a great event that would be beneficial to the village, so they came here to tell the village chief!"

Wang Youde's eyes widened and he asked quickly, "What you said is true. It really sells for thirty cents a catty." Ning An replied respectfully, "Students don't dare to talk nonsense in front of elders!"

Ning Hai also said, "Yes, yes, what Wu Lang said is true, and I went with him to inquire about it!"

Wang Youde stood up excitedly: "Well, well, that's great. Thirty Wen a catty, that's equivalent to a day's wages. Have you brought the things, show me quickly!"

Ning Hai hurriedly took out the yam and handed it to Wang Youde, "I brought it, I brought it, Wu Lang specially asked me to take it before going out! Brother Youde, look, this is the yam."

Wang Youde patted Ning An on the shoulder and said, "You did a good job."

Ning An cupped his hands and said, "The village head praised the students for being ashamed. According to the students' observations, this yam can grow two to three yams, each one to three catties. If you are lucky enough to meet a few yams, then It’s half a tael of silver, and with this income, every household in the village can have a good year.”

Wang Youde was overjoyed and said several good words one after another.

Every year after the autumn harvest, the imperial court began to collect taxes, and every household was calculated on the basis of headcount. When the harvest was good, they could barely survive the winter.If there is a natural disaster, there will be little left after paying the tax, and you will have to go hungry for the New Year.

"Goro, you've done a great job. On behalf of all the villagers in Wangjia Village, thank you!"

Wang Youde was about to bow, when Ning An saw this and quickly helped him up.

"Village chief, please don't say that. Ning An was born and raised in Wangjia Village. Wangjia Village is our common home. Ning An should do what he does. Besides, you decided to sell the mountains to us cheaply. So if the village chief wants to thank you, you have to thank yourself!"

Ning Hai also echoed, "That's right, that's right, Goro is right, if you didn't sell the land to us, we wouldn't be able to find out, so all this is due to the village chief."

Wang Youde took advantage of the situation and stood up, "Brother Youde was joking. No one has found yam in the village for so many years. They found it as soon as they arrived at your house. It can be seen that it is a blessing for your family! Now I will immediately call the village name to the village. There will be a meeting under the banyan tree, and I will ask Wulang to tell you the points that need to be paid attention to when digging this medicine!"

"The village head is very polite, the students are willing to go with you."

Wang Youde is very satisfied with Ning An now. Not only is Ning An outstanding in appearance, he does things in an orderly manner, and he doesn't take credit for himself. He is also very respectful and polite to him.Unexpectedly, Ning Hai raised a good son, and this book is not for nothing.

If other people encountered such a great good thing, they would definitely hide it, so how could they be willing to let them know!Yes, yes, this young man is very nice.

Wang Youde's eldest son, Wang Shancai, beat a gong and told all the village names to gather under the banyan tree.Was seen by Wang Laosan who was in the field
"Shancai, what's the matter with the village chief? He called everyone in such a hurry. I'm busy in the field."

Wang Laosan and Wang Shancai belonged to a big family. When they saw Wang Laosan, they said, "Uncle Wang, don't be too busy. The things in the field will not be delayed for a while. My father said, it's a good thing, it's a big deal." good thing."
