Reader note

Farm Boy is an old book. I started to like imperial examination essays from Wang Maoping. Sun Shan is more heartwarming. The beginning of the third book is not very attractive, but the author gets better and better as he writes later. The fourth book is also good among the new imperial examination essays. The last one does not have a warm family atmosphere, but is written very realistically, which makes people feel a little frustrated. If you like refreshing essays, you don't need to read it.

This book is straight into the book shortage. I came across it occasionally during the book shortage.

Introduction to the book: After a sudden car accident, Xia Ren, a Ph. D. In history and literature, traveled back to the Da Jing Dynasty that had never been recorded in history, and was reborn as a seven-year-old child from a farm family who was dying. His family was impoverished and his family was poor, which could not stop the knowledge and insights accumulated in his mind over two lifetimes. The memory of studying the classics in the past life is as clear as yesterday. The collection of classics and history, the rules and regulations, and the way to control the rise and fall of chaos are all in my mind. From a young boy who studied at night to a young student who was just beginning to show his talents, he overcame obstacles on the road to the imperial examination with his vision and talent far beyond his times. He won the first prize in the provincial examination, became famous in the general examination, and shocked the emperor in the palace examination. He stepped into the court in a commoner's body, but found that the officialdom was in turmoil and the undercurrent of party strife was surging. There are traitors at work inside, and there are dangers from the outside. He has to deal with both open and covert attacks, and at the same time, he has to fulfill his wish to manage the world and benefit the people. Promoting agriculture and mulberry, benefiting industry and commerce, rectifying the government, and ensuring the environment... Step by step, he went from a poor student to the position of a powerful prime minister, writing a legend of "Xiaren", and let the history books of the Jing Dynasty leave a strong mark on this soul that accidentally broke in.
