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

Seeing with their own eyes that three waves of officials from the government came to announce the good news, and Chen Feiyan gave so much reward in front of them, the villagers in Chenjia Village became crazy.

Some of them said that they really didn't expect that Chen Yixuan's family would one day become prosperous again.

Some people said: "I have long seen that their family is special! Especially Shuanzi, who is tall and big, much taller than us! I just looked at his face and saw that His size shows that he is more promising than everyone in our village put together!"

Some people also said: "You said that their family has suddenly become prosperous. Is it because their family has changed their Feng Shui?... Look at how many new rooms they have built in their family. They all become more and more fond of reading. Already..."

Others are saying: "Brother Shuanzi is now in high school and has been admitted as a scholar. His family will definitely be prosperous in the future. His family's life is better than that of everyone in our village..."

……

Chen Qiliang, who was standing in the crowd with his sons, felt even more uncomfortable when he listened to the flattering words of the villagers.

A few years ago, many people in the village heard that Chen Yixuan was seriously ill and that he was going to die. They were all gearing up, thinking that they would make a huge fortune after his death.

Even though Chen Yixuan later miraculously recovered and could stand up, there were still some young people in the village who bullied the younger male members of their family and went to their homes to insult them.

Even in the past two years, some families who couldn't live a good life wanted to take advantage of his absence to tie up his wife and daughter-in-law and sell them out...

As the village chief and clan leader, Chen Qiliang knows very well how vicious and evil some people in the village are.

Now that Chen Yixuan is in high school and has been admitted as a scholar, everyone is rushing to say good things about their family. They are just thinking about whether they can take advantage of the Chen Yixuan family in the future.

Chen Qiliang knew very well what benefits he would get from being admitted as a scholar.

In his view, being admitted as a scholar would not immediately improve his family's living conditions.

Being admitted as a scholar does not mean that his family will definitely get rich.

Unless you pass the exam.

If you pass the exam, you will be qualified to be a county magistrate.

After becoming a county magistrate, after three years, I could not stop earning one hundred thousand taels!

If you can have the opportunity to climb up and gain the trust and promotion of the superiors, senior officials of the fourth and fifth grades may be able to do whatever they want.

However,... all this is based on his passing the examination.

If he cannot pass the examination, he cannot be of much help to their village as a scholar.

……

Although Chen Qiliang thought so in his heart, he looked like the people in the village, showing a genuine smile.

He bowed to Chen Yixuan and expressed his congratulations.

"Shuanzi, you've really made great progress! You're going to take the scholar exam this spring, why didn't you let us know?"

"No matter what, we have to find a way to help you collect the money for the scholar examination..."

Chen Yixuan said with a smile: "Village chief, we are all from the village. Most of the families in the village are not rich. Whether they can have enough to eat is a problem. If I ask them to collect money for me without conscience, what will happen to me? Is it passable?”

"Village Chief, the reason why I don't tell you is because I...actually, I don't have much confidence."

"I have started to review my lessons in the past few years. Over the past few years, I have been reading in the morning and at night, and reading every day. Unknowingly, I have developed this enthusiasm."

"Now that I have been admitted as a scholar, I am very happy..."

Speaking of this, Chen Yixuan suddenly pursed his lips and said: "Village Chief, these new houses in my yard haven't had time to go up yet. I've asked a Feng Shui master to take a look at them, and they said they will be built tomorrow." It is an auspicious day. When the time comes, I invite you, the clan elders, and other people in the village to come and watch the ceremony."

When Chen Qiliang heard this, he nodded with a smile.

"Okay, we'll come tomorrow."

"...Okay, then I will hold a banquet at home the day after tomorrow and invite the whole village to come and eat." When the villagers in Chenjia Village heard that he was going to hold a banquet and invite the whole village to come and eat, they were all excited. It's incredible.

Great.

You can have a delicious meal tomorrow.

Chen Yixuan's family was building a new house, and he himself was admitted as a scholar at a young age. This was a double blessing!

Now that his family has such a happy event, the banquet at home must be very good.

There must be a lot of meat dishes in his house.

I heard that they would be able to eat meat at their house the day after tomorrow, and everyone was smiling from ear to ear when they went back.

……

As soon as the people in the village left and Chen Feiyan closed the door, she grinned.

"Master, did you hear that? You are a scholar! You passed the exam this year!"

"Oh my God, it's really not easy, it's not easy! I didn't expect you to actually pass the exam! God bless you, God bless us!"

"Lord Dragon, bless us!"

Chen Yixuan saw that his wife was so happy that she couldn't help herself. He pursed his lips and smiled.

He was also very happy that he was admitted as a scholar.

Now that he is admitted as a scholar, it means a big turning point in his family's destiny.

From now on, he no longer has to pay poll tax or grain tax. There is no need to worry about one day being forced to do corvee labor by the government.

Moreover, with this title, he no longer has to go to the military camp to serve as a soldier.

Centurion sounds good.

However, once they go into battle to kill the enemy, they are like living cannon fodder.

They are the stepping stones for those people.

They worked hard to kill the enemy on the battlefield, fighting as if they were desperate, and if they failed, their families would be destroyed. When the war is won, it is not them who gain the greatest benefits, but those above them.

Those who stay on the battlefield all the year round will die in ten cases.

Chen Yixuan feels that there are very few people who can live to old age after a lifetime of fighting.

He had actually noticed a long time ago that his wife was worried about their fate.

If they die on the battlefield, if their wives can remarry, they will be considered lucky.

What Chen Yixuan fears most is that those unscrupulous people will sell her into a dirty place.

Now that he has a reputation to protect himself, Chen Yixuan can finally laugh easily.

"Daughter-in-law, be prepared. I estimate that many people will visit us in these few days."

Chen Feiyan was surprised when she heard this.

"Visit us? If you are admitted as a scholar, will they also visit us? Who are they?"

Chen Yixuan nodded: "They are all country squires and some merchants who are ingratiating themselves with the Zhang family."

"Look, the gifts they will give us will allow us to live a happy life for a long time..."
