Two hours of chopping firewood was already commonplace for Lin Ke.

Even though Lin Ke is not familiar with it, "Lin Ke" is very familiar, so this body is also very familiar.

This body of his has learned martial arts since he was a child. In addition, he has been chopping firewood for many years, so he is already familiar with the strength and method of chopping firewood, and can chop it without even looking.

Practice makes perfect.

Lin Ke felt that since "Lin Ke" had left such a good foundation, he couldn't waste it, right?

It is a pity that although Lin Ke is in good health, he did not gain much from "Lin Ke" in terms of knowledge.

Because "Lin Ke" was born in such a wealthy family, he did not receive a complete and good education.

When he was ten years old, his family revoked his right to study because of the end of enlightenment teaching.

The family's enlightenment teachings include rituals, music, and imperial books. Master Lin follows the rituals and attaches great importance to all aspects.

However, once they fail the examination at the age of ten, they are not eligible to continue to receive Confucian and Taoist education, but will receive other education besides Confucianism and Taoism.

For example, Buddhism, Taoism, martial arts, military art, etc.

Of course, Lin Ke failed the assessment, and his predecessor had not even been assessed at all. Instead, he was directly notified that his educational qualifications had been cancelled.

As for the reason?

Sorry, Master Lin is the cause of everything in the Lin Mansion Courtyard.

His mother's body also completely collapsed because of that incident, and she finally passed away after several years of torture and hardship.

And "Lin Ke"?

Before Lin Ke came, "Lin Ke's" idea was to study "Wei Li" well and thoroughly learn the only book "Kingdom" that was a complete collection of Wei Li, and then one day get the attention of Master Lin.

pity……

Looking at the "Kingdom" in his hand, Lin Ke felt quite sad.

After chopping the firewood, it was getting dark and he could no longer read. Lin Ke turned to look at the plum tree in the corner of the firewood courtyard, thinking carefully about the future in his mind.

What will you do next?

What is he going to do in such a seemingly safe but actually dangerous world? What can he do?

The answer is actually very simple.

read!

"Zhongzhengshu Xingyan" says: "Human beings in the universe today are all inferior, but only reading is high."

Reading can make people know clearly, rationally and virtuously, and can make people aware of the vastness of the world and the majesty of the universe, time and space.

The book has its own beauty like jade, and the book has its own golden house!

After studying, you can become an official, you can realize your ambitions and ideals, and you can also practice your own ideas and thoughts.

What's more, this world has a set of deep-rooted class divisions that divide society into three, six, and nine classes.

Such as reading.

What books did you read?

Book of sages!

Who wrote the sage book?

Confucianism!

Confucianism speaks of the Constitution of Heaven and punishes the enemy with every word.

Taoist magic is so mysterious that it can move mountains and seas.

The Buddha's Dharma is boundless and can save all sentient beings.

Third rate, they all sound wonderful!

But among them, Confucianism is the first-rate among the three higher schools, Taoism is the second-rate, and Buddhism is only the third-rate.

I don’t know how to measure it specifically, but in short, these three schools dominate the world, and Confucianism and Taoism also dominate the other two.

Of course, there may be a royal family above them, which can also be called the official family, the Tian family, or the Quan family.

Therefore, unless you are directly reincarnated into a royal family, the best way to reach the top is to study and become a Confucian scholar.

If you don't read the books of saints and sages, you can still read Taoist scriptures and Buddhist scriptures, but you will be invisible to others.

Of course, there are ways outside of studying.

If you don't study, what will you do?

That can do a lot more.

What is below the third level?

Sixth grade!

A first-rate fortune teller, a second-rate craftsman, a third-rate warrior, a fourth-rate merchant, a fifth-rate doctor, a sixth-rate soldier, and the rest are all miscellaneous.

Fortune tellers, craftsmen, warriors, businessmen, doctors, soldiers, everything else is called miscellaneous family.

These six professional household registrations are slightly inferior to those of the upper third class, but they still have a high social status.

The Zajia family is slightly lower than the middle sixth stream and slightly higher than the lower ninth stream.

But then again...

"I am a low-ranking member of the lower class. How can I participate in the imperial examination?"

Lin Ke was chopping firewood and thinking about a solution.

Low-ranking people are not allowed to take part in the imperial examination!

He is from a lower-class family, so it is not possible to take the scientific examination directly. He must first deregister.

The social status of the descendants of prostitutes in the Wei Dynasty was even lower than that of thieves, robbers, and swindlers.

It is despised by thousands of people, but it is also an existence that everyone loves to play with.

Who doesn't like beautiful women?

Even Master Shulin, a great scholar and minister of the Ministry of Rites, had a concubine, right?

But no matter how much you like it, it doesn’t matter whether it’s Confucianism or Taoism, or even Buddhism.

You can still play with women, but you just don’t recognize women’s status.

Sometimes Lin Ke wonders, how about he build two more "homes" besides the 3, 6, and 9 levels?

For example, the women’s power family, the common harmony family, or the scientists?

Use this to overthrow the system of this world!

However, the physics, chemistry, biology, culture, history, geography, and politics of this world all look different from those in previous lives.

If Lin Ke comes up with something that subverts the imperial power...

I can't believe that in the morning, I just stood up and announced to "resist feudal superstition". In the afternoon, Mr. Lin smashed the Tianling Cap with a palm and immediately carried out the funeral. Then in the evening, he directly invited twelve tribes from three provinces to his home for a banquet.

Thinking of this, Lin Ke couldn't help but shook his head slightly and smiled, wiped his forehead that was slightly sweaty from chopping firewood, and continued to concentrate on chopping firewood.

It's useless to think too much now. The most important thing is to deregister.

I don’t know what the hatred is between Mr. Lin and “Lin Ke” mother and son. Otherwise, as a descendant of Mr. Lin, no matter how much he dislikes him, he should have a middle-six household registration.

"Lin Ke" never knew until his death why he was not loved by Mr. Lin. It was not even a question of love or dislike, but simply hatred and hostility.

But at this time, Lin Ke looked at the plum tree not far away and couldn't help but smile again.

The edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold.

At least "Lin Ke" left him with a very good body. After so many years of hard work, maybe he can go out and do some art in the future.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

Lin Ke was chopping firewood, sometimes smiling, sometimes sighing, while the piles of firewood beside him were getting higher and higher.

And just as he was chopping down a certain piece of firewood, a crisp sound suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Ding!"

"Chop firewood a hundred and eight thousand times to unlock the way of a gentleman!"

"The way of a gentleman lies in making choices. Thousands of choices become destiny. The destiny of a gentleman is gathered together in a vast way!"

"The gentleman is currently in a difficult situation, and an unknown entity is casting its gaze on the Lin Mansion. Please make a choice!"

【Choice 1】

Put down the hatchet, lazily sit on the firewood gate, watch the clouds roll and relax, the Tao follows nature, look up to the sky, laugh and recite a poem.

Take: The unknown existence pays attention, escapes into the Taoist gate, and becomes a Taoist disciple.

Abandon: The other two statues of the Six Paths and Nine Streams were abandoned.

【Choice 2】

Split firewood ten times, with every centimeter accurate. Concentrate a little and reach the peak.

Obtain: An unknown being pays attention, is introduced into the trapped camp, and becomes a genius in military affairs.

Abandon: All those related to Wen among the Three Deities, Six Paths and Nine Streams are discarded.

【Choice 3】

After completing the task of chopping firewood, he stood quietly in front of the plum tree, smiled, touched his palms, chanted the fourteen words again, and then sighed. (Note: Fourteen characters do not include punctuation marks.)

Obtain: Pay attention to unknown beings, become a disciple of a great Confucian, and become a gentleman. You can do any of the three respects, six paths, and nine streams.

She: humble status.
