Li Xiuyuan wore it and became a poor scholar preparing for the imperial examination. Good news: He is full of knowledge, has a photographic memory, and aims to be named on the gold medal list and to honor his ancestors. Bad news: His family has only four walls, and he is still a weakling who cannot carry his shoulders or lift his hands. The worse news is that as soon as he finished memorizing the essential skills of Qi Min and the Art of Heavenly Creation as a leisure book, the overwhelming locusts came. It blocks out the sky and the sun, and no grass grows wherever it passes. The villagers knelt down to pray to God and worship Buddha. The county magistrate spread his hands and prepared to run away. Only Li Xiuyuan looked at the few fields he had just planted but had not yet grown seedlings, and fell into deep thought. The purpose of taking the exam is to let the people live a good life. Now the people are all going to have nothing to eat, and he still has a shitty academic record! "Burn a fire! Dig a ditch! Use smoke!" "Everyone, get moving and go to the nearby mountains to find a tree called 'neem'!" "Kids, don't be idle, come with me to the locust base camp tonight!" At first, the villagers looked at this crazy scholar with disbelief. "Master Xiu Cai, don't you think you are stupid because of studying?" Later, looking at the green crops in their own fields and the miserable situation of no harvest in the neighboring village, they surrounded Li Xiuyuan. "Master Xiu Cai, are you still in need of a boy? My two dogs are very fast and can grind ink for you!" "Mr. Li, the locusts are gone, but how are you going to survive this disaster year?" Li Xiuyuan closed the book and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, the next step is to lead everyone to make a fortune." We educated people are so unpretentious and boring.
