Li Kui said happily: "My son, you have become extremely smart because of the blessing this time. You must study hard in the future and stop causing trouble everywhere. Do you understand?"
Li Xiang rolled his eyes and cried bitterly: "Dad, don't worry, my son will definitely be admitted to the Jinshi in the future, and he will be a good official like you and help the court solve problems!"
Li Kui patted Li Xiang's head and said, "Okay, how is it appropriate for a grown man to cry all the time?"
At this moment, I saw my wife and maid Qiuxiang hurriedly entering the study.
When the wife saw that her son was crying sadly and her husband's hand was still in his, she thought that the master was beating her son again. She was so anxious that she protected her son and asked, "Master, what are you doing? I want you to beat him."
Got it!"
It turned out that just now Qiuxiang ran to tell the lady that the young master had written a good article and was praised by the master in the study. She came in a hurry, but she never thought that what she saw was the master beating his son.
Li Xiang is her only biological son, how could she not feel sad for him.
Seeing that his wife was protecting his shortcomings, Li Kui couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Madam, sir, I can even beat him now. I was encouraging him just now. If you don't believe me, you ask!"
The lady then let go of Li Xiang and asked urgently: "Xiang'er, how are you doing?"
Li Xiang also couldn't laugh or cry, so he hurriedly replied: "Mom, my father and I were just talking about the examination. I will definitely pass the Jinshi examination, I promise!"
When the wife heard this, she said happily: "Well, my son is just different. Come on, let me see how your handwriting looks like!"
Li Xiang then showed his mother the article he had just written on the desk.
When the lady saw it, she was so happy that she hurriedly said: "My Xiang'er is indeed a genius. Let me tell you, Master, you must have been too fierce in the past, which scared my Xiang'er. Now I'm fine, Xiang'er."
You will become a talented person soon."
Li Kui said: "Okay, it's time to go back to the academy tomorrow. Think about it, you go to the accounting office to pay fifty taels of silver, but you can't spend it randomly. You can use it only when you need it."
Is this a bonus? Li Xiang was very happy. Fifty taels of silver is not a small sum.
You must know that an ordinary soldier only gets about ten taels of silver a year, which is equivalent to a soldier's salary for five years. If converted according to purchasing power, the fifty taels of silver now is equivalent to the ten taels that Li Xiang received before he traveled through time.
Ten thousand dollars.
It seems that this dad is not too stingy. Of course, if compared with the rich second generation, he is still far behind. After all, it is only 100,000 yuan. The rich second generation will spend it all in less than one night. For example,
If you go to a brothel, you can spend it casually.
So I have to save some money and find a way to make some money to spend it. Now that I have a 3D printer, Li Xiang thinks that I don’t have to worry about running out of money to spend. If it doesn’t work, I can just print money.
alright.
It's nice to think about it, but the reality is that it doesn't work at all, because he has studied the printer inside the body, and there are restrictions on how to use it. It doesn't mean that you can print whenever you want. After all, you need materials.
For example, if you want to print silver, you must have silver; if you want to print a gun, you must have iron and copper.
In short, this time, both my father and mother were happy. The lunch meal was even richer than usual. The old couple kept picking up vegetables for their son, which made Li Xiang almost vomit.
In a while it will be the time for autumn, so Li Kui is very looking forward to it this time. His son can pass the exam. In this case, he can go to the capital to take the provincial exam next year.
Although Dengzhou is his territory, Li Kui, and he can use some means to get his son to pass the exam, but this is obviously not his style. He will not do these small tricks. He wants his son to pass the exam through real talent and practical learning. After all, it is not his style
There was nothing he could do about the provincial examination or the palace examination.
The next morning, Li Xiang was woken up by Qiuxiang.
You must know that today is the time for him to go to the academy. After all, after so many days of rest, he is afraid that his studies will be delayed a lot.
After Li remembered it, when he saw his mother Huang, he went up to her with a smile and said, "Good morning, mother!"
The lady asked with a smile: "Xian'er, how are you feeling today? If you are not feeling well, we will go to the academy two days later!"
Li Xiang patted his chest and said, "Mom, no need, I have fully recovered!"
Breakfast was ready, and the family of three sat at the table and started eating.
Seeing her son devouring his food, the lady showed an affectionate smile: "I think so, eat slowly and don't choke."
Li Kui said with a smile: "It seems that Xiang'er has recovered really well. He is growing up now. He needs to eat more. From now on, he can be as capable as his elder brother in both civil and military skills!"
Li Xiang's eldest brother, Li Gang, was not born to the Huang family, so she was inevitably a little unhappy after hearing this. Why does he always compare himself to his eldest brother?
I think he is only seventeen years old, which is still early. He will definitely surpass Li Gang by then.
After breakfast, Li Xiang was ready to set off.
"Father, mother, my child is going to the academy now. You don't have to send me off, I can go by myself!"
Li Kui stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Go and study hard, and don't let Master come to complain again!"
In the past, Li Xiang was a naughty student in the academy, so the masters at the academy had a headache when they saw Li Xiang, and often went to Li Kui to complain.
Li Xiang walked in the streets of Dengzhou and felt a little emotional when he looked at this strange place. The sky here is very blue, there is no pollution, and people's lives are also leisurely.
It's just the threat from the north that made many people in the Song Dynasty afraid. What would happen if barbarians invaded the city one day?
Now this question is something Li Xiang has to think about.
If you are admitted to the Jinshi, becoming an official does not seem to change anything. After all, whether it is my father or my eldest brother, they are all patriotic officials in history, especially the eldest brother Li Gang, who is very famous.
But in the end, the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed by the Jin Kingdom, and even the current emperor was kidnapped and became a shame.
Later, the Southern Song Dynasty did not live long and was destroyed by the Mongolian cavalry. The common people suffered a lot. I don’t know how many were massacred!
Thinking about it made him angry. Li Xiang felt that he could do something to prevent these historical tragedies from happening again. The nomads in the north were too great a threat to the court in the south.
It should be possible to use 3D printers to do some big things. When the time comes, we must let the Jin Kingdom and the Mongols have a try.
Li Xiang passed by the busiest market and saw the prosperity of Dengzhou City. He couldn't help but sigh that his father's rule was indeed good.
When Li Xiang came to Huazhou Academy in the west of the city and saw this academy built along the water, Li Xiang knew that he was going to show off next.
