[0012 The road is at the foot]
On the way back, everyone was completely different from when they came. The sun was in the sky, the sun was warm and the sun was warm, and they all had red food, and they didn't feel that it was too cold.
Fan Daming had no time to sing a song. He surrounded Wei Bao with Fan Xiaolin, Fan Lao Geda, and Wang Zhihui, and talked about everything. They were like stars supporting the moon, making it seem like Wei Bao was not someone they had known for more than ten years, but as if they had known him just now.
"Xiaobao, just these two large bags of grain are taken back to Jinshan, and everyone will be suppressed! I guess there are less than twenty families who can take out so much grain except Zhao Lizheng's family!" As soon as Fan Lao Geda was full, his voice became much louder and louder. He always spoke in a low and hoarse voice.
Zheng Zhongfei heard Fan Lao Geda say this and secretly laughed at the poor man who had never seen food. His family could take out so much, but this time he held it back and said nothing.
Wei Bao smiled indifferently and said nothing. He didn't think there was much food here, one pound, 24 pounds of noodles and 15 pounds of corn a day, which was just a 39-day ration for a person, but he knew very well that these foods were enough for ten adults to survive the long winter in the north!
Because how could people in this era bear to eat pure food every day?
It also needs to be matched with many other wild foods, and you won’t eat enough every day. If you are careful, you can ensure that ten adults don’t have to worry about starving to death for half a year!
Everyone followed Fan Lao Geda's words and praised Wei Bao for being capable.
Zheng Zhongfei thought of the time when he was in Shanhaiguan, saying that Wei Bao's family could not starve to death after this winter. Now that he remembered that, his face was hot and he had a hearty meal from Wei Bao just now, which made him even more ashamed. There was also a sentence beside him, who was a little talent for studying, and his writing was very good.
"Little Wei Bao, I will never dare to bully you casually again. I didn't expect that you kid would hide so deeply and write well. Hum, I remember you have a lot of words, but I taught you to write them." Fan Xiaolin turned her head and looked at Wei Bao with her head sideways.
Fan Xiaolin's eyes were not despised, but this look added to her playfulness.
Wei Bao blinked at Fan Xiaolin and smiled, "Thank you, Master Fan! But you either call Wei Bao or Xiao Bao, you can call Brother Bao. Can you not give a name like Xiao Wei Bao? It sounds strange and confusing."
"I'm sorry to ask for a fight." Fan Xiaolin slapped Wei Bao's arm, and was amused by Wei Bao and giggled. She thought to herself that Wei Bao seemed to have suddenly changed someone else. When she saw herself, she always looked like a mouse and a cat. Alas, the little boy has grown up.
"Wei Bao, discuss with your family and find an opportunity to go to school and take the exam for scholars? I think you are a good student and will have a promising future." Wang Qiuya also said.
"Yes, if you take the exam for a scholar, you can be a master. You will have a lifelong food and clothing. If you can get into the Juren, Jinshi! You can still be an official, Wei Bao, if you become an official, you will be a grandfather! In my opinion, with our Wei Bao's talent, there is no problem. I thought I could know a few more words than Wei Bao." Fan Xiaolin continued Wang Qiuya's words, chattering excitedly. Fan Xiaolin, who had eaten and drunk enough, couldn't stop her mouth.
"If Wei Bao passes the Jinshi and becomes an official, how can I be Wei Bao's housekeeper, right? Hehehe." Fan Da touched his head and said, as if Wei Bao had become an official at this time. He was already the housekeeper of the Wei Bao family, and he lived a life of the same standard as the meal just now.
Everyone was even more excited when they talked about Wei Bao's reading topic. Only Zheng Zhongfei, who had been to school, no longer participated in this conversation. He wanted to pour cold water on it and said that the exam was so easy. Then why is Liu Chunshi almost thirty or an old Tongsheng? He is in his twenties and cannot even pass the exam. However, Zheng Zhongfei swallowed this back after all.
Wang Qiuya noticed Zheng Zhongfei's emotional changes and whispered: "Don't worry, you will be able to pass the exam for the Tongsheng exam this year."
"I didn't really want to take the exam seriously, otherwise I would have been a child in the middle school early." Zheng Zhongfei's face turned even redder when Wang Qiuya said, and he replied softly.
Wei Bao was not proud of himself. Facing a bunch of praise, he was always modest and perfunctory, thinking about his own thoughts.
Wei Bao has actually been thinking about future development for a while, whether to follow the imperial court or dominate the route.
In the late Ming Dynasty, the imperial examination was taken,... it was naturally nothing for people who didn't know history in this era, but for people who were familiar with history, it seemed a bit funny.
But Wei Bao really favors the civil service route, and it seems that he can't decide it himself.
First of all, in terms of power division, he could not run to Jiannu, no matter how he did, was he still a human?
If you don’t go to Jiannu, you will only have two ways of rebellion and rebellion.
This is the fourth year of the Apocalypse. According to normal history, the Ming Dynasty still has at least 20 years of life!
The Ming Dynasty was like a big bull who was born with excellent innate conditions and was slowly ruined by the descendants of Zhu family emperors and the more and more old Zhu Baba, who were born more and more. He had a really good foundation and solid foundation. If he wanted to be thrown out, he would not be able to be thrown out in a short time.
Wei Bao didn't think he had the luck of Li Zicheng, and could survive the journey and finally win the championship. This path had a high reincarnation rate.
In the past, I read novels in modern times and shouted to dominate the world all day long, but in the real ancient times, I had no such idea of being a secondary school student at all.
A high reincarnation rate is one factor, and another factor is rebellion, fighting every day, how many people will die?
Although the "Zhenyuan Ship" he brought has completely simulated military equipment and has strong firepower, there are only hundreds of guns and cannons. Without the guarantee of industrial foundation, it can only be used to shoot TV and movies. It is still the same for real swords and guns to rebel?
It can be easily invincible at sea, but what about land? After the development of naval warfare, it will eventually be harvested by powerful infantry.
There are more than 300 Mauser rifles on the warship.
The troops armed with more than 300 Mauser rifles were not sufficient ammunition, so it was a problem whether they could capture a military fortress in the late Ming Dynasty, not to mention the strong defense of Shanhaiguan.
There is another training problem. If you have a gun, you must have a corresponding unit that controls the gun. If you train an infantryman without the test of war, it will take at least two years for a navy. Even if you train an infantryman, you will be able to go up at least five years for an infantryman!
If he really rebelled, the followers he managed would definitely increase day by day, and more and more, bringing thousands, even hundreds of thousands, millions of hungry troops all over the day to war and grab food. When he thought about it, he felt his scalp numb.
If you grab something, the robbed will definitely die. If you can't grab something, you won't eat each other when you're hungry? There will be a large number of people who die.
In that case, what if the world is conquered? Will you make the era and country and nation you love more degenerate?
It was only less than a day, but Wei Bao had integrated into this era and this land. He loved this era, his country, and the people and every tree here!
Besides, there is a fierce tiger like Jiannu outside. Who will fall into the end of the rebellion? Can it escape the shackles of history? Like Li Zicheng, after he became emperor, he was beaten by others? He struggled for a few months and then died?
According to the historical development trajectory, it seems that Jiannu asked everyone to continue their braids in the finale?
Wei Bao's personality is not the kind of personality that is willing to live the "face life and death directly, and die in silence without breaking out in silence". This is an era when Wei Bao cannot choose to travel through time, otherwise, he would be willing to live the leisurely life of a pastoral landlord.
Taking a comprehensive consideration, whether it is the route of fighting for hegemony or the route of promotion in the court, you must first accumulate strength and cultivate your own team first. In the early and mid-term, the latter must have a more advantage.
Even if you come up and pull hundreds of people to fight everywhere, you have to accumulate strength first.
When the people were pulled up, they would have to face the imperial encirclement and suppression mode that could not be stopped for a day.
Nowadays, various places are still stable. In unstable places and poor people cannibalize people. Where can I go to compete for territory?
People, territory, and wealth are the specific object of power.
Therefore, after clarifying the imperial examination route, Wei Bao was already looking forward to the imperial examination route.
Whether doing business, developing industry, or farming, you have to deal with the government. Since that is the case, why not become an official directly?
Being an official also means civil officials and military generals.
As for civil officials or military generals, Wei Bao asked himself that even if he learned the great magical skills, he would not be a general, because he was not a ruthless person, a fierce person. In this era, the fierce people must be able to kill people without blinking and eat human flesh without blinking.
Besides, the military generals of this era were under the jurisdiction of civil servants, and the civil servant route would not affect their becoming commander!
Most of the generals in the late Ming Dynasty were from literati.
Also, he is not a child of a military general family. In this era, the martial Jinshi were all recommended to be given birth, and the military profession was passed down from generation to generation. Who would be given birth to him?
With peerless beauty and means, which general is slowly appreciated by? Become a son-in-law?
The most valuable person in ancient times was his son-in-law! Even if he became the son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty, his life might not be better than that of a seventh-rank official!
Holding the thighs of my wife's family is not Wei Bao's personality!
The revolver on Wei Bao's waist and the electric baton hidden in his arms are all part of his force, but can he take it out at will before the juncture of life and death?
Although the Ming Dynasty's control of iron was not as strict as that of the Tartars, it was also regulated. Governments in any era would not allow people to have "weapons" at will.
War is money, and the origin of war is to fight for wealth!
Why did the southern Ming Dynasty exterminate in minutes even if there were small rebellions? Because the economic center was in the south, I felt a little crisis, so the local gentry took some money to get it out, and the food and salary were sufficient, and the troops were sold out.
Money is water, war is fire.
In the land with abundant water sources, war cannot be launched. Only the barren and dry northern Ming Dynasty and the Central Plains, these barren lands are like haystacks, and can ignite flames into the sky when you see a little spark!
For the sake of the world, the people's livelihood, and the reincarnation rate, Wei Bao is more willing to do whatever he wants and choose a route that is not very bloody. At least for him, he cannot be too bloody. If he fails, what's the use of developing fast? Life is the first priority, safety is the king.
Instead of lighting the haystack, he is more willing to use the little power he can accumulate to put out the fire, put out the fire, kill fewer people, and let history develop in a better direction.
It is impossible for Jiannu to go, and he is unwilling to go to the rebellion route, and there is basically no chance to go to the general route. Even if he is forced to go, it is far less developed than the civil servant route.
The route Wei Bao can take is just like everyone in this era. It seems that there is only one way in Huashan - the imperial examination and an official!
Of course, in modern times, I can't stand studying, and I was suffering from the pain of hanging my head and stinging my thighs in ancient times? This is not Wei Bao's personality.
Wei Bao believed that there was no perfect thing in the world, and any system had flaws, not to mention the messy world in the late Ming Dynasty.
His path to the imperial examination must not be a model of hard work in the sea of learning and hard work in the mountains of books.
It seems that everything is clear and safe. First, ensure that you are not dead, then make money and get the imperial examinations, and walk on both legs of officials and businessmen, and accumulate power. This is the kingly way.
With a clear idea, the future suddenly became clear. Wei Bao was in a good mood and urged Fan Da to sing. The country songs of the two echoed on the ancient road of the West Wind.
Everyone was walking back quickly and took one tenth of the time to return to Kingsoft.
