He traveled through time and became a child of a poor family. At the beginning, he only had half a bag of brown rice, a ruined temple, and a widowed mother.
Jiang Heshan thought that he could prosper with modern knowledge. But when he stood outside the county examination room, he realized that he couldn't write eight-part essays, the junior students didn't recognize them, and he couldn't even raise the registration fee.
The cruelest thing in the world is not that there is no way to go, but that the way is right in front of you, but you can't even afford a ticket.
But he insisted on leaving.
From being humiliated and blocked by rich families, to old boys giving away money late at night; from showing his talents in the second place in the county examination, to facing the contemptuous eyes of the children of aristocratic families in the Fucheng examination room——
He uses modern logic to solve stereotypes and uses mathematical thinking to calculate strategies. The examiner scolded him for being "full of strange tricks and tricks", but the poor candidates secretly copied his failed questions.
It was not until the palace examination that the emperor asked: "What should be the priority in governing the country?"
Jiang Heshan replied: "Your Majesty, I come from a ruined temple. I know that what the people want is not the empty talk of saints, but three more buckets of grain from the fields and one cent less tax at home."
The whole hall was shocked.
In this life, he will use knowledge to poke a hole in the sky.
The young man who walks out of the ruined temple will eventually stand on the top of the clouds.
