I Transmigrated into a Farming Family. If I Don’t Take the Imperial Exams, Am I Supposed to Farm?

[Farming + civil service exams + alternate history + ancient times] Li Mucheng was born into the ancient Great Qian Dynasty and became a five-year-old boy in Li Family Village, a poor mountain hamlet. From the start, it was hell mode: the family had nothing, his parents were weak, and his grandparents played favorites! Worse still, to pay for his eldest uncle's education, his biased grandparents planned to sell his sister to a landlord's family as a bride for a dead man! Seriously, he had to deal with this feudal nonsense too? Sell his sister for personal gain? Li Mucheng would never allow it! They say it's hard for a poor family to raise a distinguished son? Then let them feel the crushing advantage of modern civilization! From traditional heritage dyeing techniques to ancient ice-making methods, from a five-year-old prodigy to a name known throughout the land! Child scholar, licentiate, provincial graduate, metropolitan graduate... He would conquer every trial along the way! From a ninth-rank county magistrate to the chief minister of the court, Li Mucheng would carve a path to the heavens with nothing but his writing brush and turn the world upside down!
