The disease has gone away like a thread, and it has been a month since I came into this world. I have been trapped in my room for a while, and it was only recently that I was able to get out of the room and move around.
In early spring, the sun was shining brightly. The warm sun was shining on his body and he felt his body was warm. During this period, Li Jie learned that it was the 17th year of Chenghua, this body was just 5 years old, and the current emperor was none other than Zhu Jianshen. Although Zhu Jianshen was a bit mediocre, he was not cruel. Historically, during the Chenghua period, the court was full of demons. Due to Zhu Jianshen's weak character due to his childhood experiences, now all kinds of demons and monsters are making trouble under the banner of Zhu Jianshen, who has a weak character.
The notorious West Factory in history was established during his reign. At this time, the great eunuch Wang Zhi was brutally killing people with lofty ideals and making money for wanton purposes. At the same time, he was also fighting openly and secretly with the traditional strength of the eunuchs, the East Factory. Under the leadership of Shang Ming, the East Factory The fight with Xichang will be back and forth. If nothing happens, Shang Ming will join forces with Li Zisheng next year, and Wang Zhi will lose power by then.
The public security conditions in Fuzhou Prefecture where Li Jie is now are pretty good. Except for the occasional martial arts gangsters who commit crimes and commit crimes, other martial arts people don't dare to gather in crowds to make trouble. The imperial army and imperial guards are not just decorations. People who go to the martial arts world will eventually come to the ground, and the relationship between the martial arts world and the court is peaceful and peaceful.
If you want to avoid annihilation, the martial arts forces are a bit unreliable after all. At this time, the world is also in chaos. There are conflicts between the righteous way and the demon sect. The righteous forces are not monolithic. Shaolin and Wudang are aloof. The Five Mountains Sword Sect is also fighting for the position of leader. They are both nasty to each other, let alone the other forces, they are just the yes-men of the big forces.
To forge iron, you must be strong yourself. Only when you are strong can you face your future destiny.
"Young Master, it's almost time. Although the weather is getting warmer, you still have to be careful not to let evil spirits enter your body again. Go back early." Maid Xiaocui said softly.
During this time, Xiaocui discovered that Li Jie was different from before after recovering from his illness. He gradually became taciturn and not as lively and active as before. He no longer clamored to play every day. Instead, he would sometimes sit for most of the day and follow him. He looks like a little grown-up, and he does things meticulously, a bit like a scholar.
"Okay, let's go back. Did daddy say when he will be back when he went out this time?" After hearing this, Li Jie got up and walked to his house. He asked as he walked. This time, when Lin Zhennan comes back, Li Jie plans to discuss with him about studying. The thing is, in this era when everything is low-grade and only high-level students are educated, the status of warriors is indeed not high. If you want to gain status in the court, the imperial examination is an unavoidable hurdle, and you need to find a famous teacher to guide you.
"I heard from my wife before that I should go back home in about two or three days."
The rows of buildings around the street are bustling with people. Although they look chaotic at first glance, they are actually very orderly. The sounds of vendors selling snacks and daily necessities can be heard from the surrounding stalls. There are also farmers and fishermen who come from the nearby market to sell mountain and wild groceries. , people flow in and out of the shops on both sides of the street from time to time. This is the West Market in Fuzhou Prefecture, and it is also where the entire city's vendors gather.
The streets are crowded with people. There are wealthy children dressed in silks and satins, who are surrounded by servants and guards as they walk. There are also poor people in coarse linen and patchwork clothes selling mountain groceries from time to time. Li Jie's paragraph I haven't seen anyone half-clothed when I go out. Although there are traitors in the court, the impact on Fuzhou Prefecture, which is far away from the capital, is not particularly great. Overall, it seems that the current society is quite stable. Like the late dynasty, the society was in turmoil and the people were in dire straits.
While Li Jie was admiring the ancient market with great interest, he asked Xiaocui questions from time to time, trying to understand the world today through her.
Seeing a mountain man selling firewood next to him, Li Jie asked, "Xiao Cui, how much does a load of firewood cost now?"
Xiao Cui, who was born in poverty, knew this problem very well and replied: "Young master, once firewood can be sold for about 33 cents."
After listening to Xiaocui's answer, Li Jie silently began to calculate. His own grain store knew the price of grain. Now one bucket of rice (one bucket is equivalent to 18.88 kilograms today, ten buckets is one stone, and one stone in the future is about 94.4 kilograms today). For about 100 Wen, the mountain people can get a little more than 6 Jin of rice by chopping 100 Jin of firewood. Based on the fact that a family of five eats 3 Jin of rice a day, it is enough for two days of rations. A load of firewood can be harvested in half a day if you chop it diligently. , coupled with other incomes, we can see from a glimpse that prices are generally stable now, and people's living standards are still passable.
…………
After Li Jie got home, he went to the main room to inform Mrs. Wang that he was back. Mrs. Wang had been caring about Li Jie since she had been seriously ill, especially after Lin Zhennan learned that Li Jie's Jingguan was damaged. She was crying all day long. She didn't know that Li Jie knew about it. She thought that Li Jie knew nothing about it, so she forced a smile every time she met Li Jie.
After the visit, Li Jie returned to the small courtyard where he lived, put on a set of short-playing clothes, and began to step on the horse. After recovering from the illness, Lin Zhennan began to teach Li Jie some basic pile skills. Since he is too young now, he is only 5. At the age of 18, he could only learn some basic postures. He hoped that after practicing, Li Jie would be able to strengthen his body, and after two years, he would officially start to teach his family's martial arts.
Li Jie is currently practicing the basic horse stance technique that is widely circulated in the martial arts world. After all, except for the evil-proof swordsmanship, the Lin family's other martial arts are a bit commonplace. Fortunately, there are also family kung fu that can be learned. There is no need to be like many people who want to learn but cannot get started.
The martial arts community is very cautious about the inheritance of martial arts. For example, if you join a certain sect, you don't want to learn any advanced martial arts in the first three years. After the inspection and successful learning, advanced martial arts will be gradually taught. Wulin sects do not accept everyone as disciples. They basically only accept young children. Training them from an early age is conducive to strengthening the sense of belonging to the sect. It is basically impossible for an older person to lead an art master. It is basically impossible for Luo Denuo, the second disciple of the Huashan Sect, to get in if Yue Buqun had not had ulterior motives.
Stand with your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, half squatting, as if you were riding a horse. Since Li Jie has just started to practice horse stance, and he is too young and has not yet opened his body, it is already a big improvement from the first 2 minutes to the current 10 minutes. After closing the body, he took a long breath. After taking a short break, he continued to practice. Li Jie was very clear about the fact that you can't reach a thousand miles without taking small steps.
After finishing the exercise, he was already covered in sweat and sticky. Li Jie walked to the bathroom. Since he started practicing martial arts, Xiaocui had prepared hot water every day after Li Jie started practicing, waiting for Li Jie to freshen up after finishing the exercise.
"Young Master, don't you need my help today?" Xiao Cui asked crisply.
"No, I can just wash myself. I don't need your service." When Li Jie took a bath for the first time in this world, Xiaocui followed him into the bathroom as usual, which made Li Jie very uncomfortable with modern life.
The first time she refused Xiaocui's service, Xiaocui thought she was dissatisfied with her, curling her lips and looking unhappy. Afterwards, Li Jie explained for a long time before she was fooled, but she took a shower every day. She would ask again, but she didn't know that Lin Pingzhi had a different soul now. It was not her fault, but Li Jie couldn't explain it to her.
After taking a shower, Li Jie walked to the dining room. It was time for dinner. The dining table was filled with chicken, duck, and fish. Although the Lin family did not have much status in the martial arts world, they were not short of money, and their reputation in the local area was not bad. The farm outside the city has 300 acres of good mature land, and only charges 50% of the rent from its tenants. The farm has a good reputation. It also operates a cloth shop and a grain store in the city. As for the escort agency, it is not its main business, but Since it was the foundation established by great-grandfather Lin Yuantu, it was not easy to abandon it.
