Chapter 2 Civil and Military
Seeing the existence of martial arts, Xiao Tianlei couldn't help feeling uneasy. He originally thought that he could make a difference by relying on the knowledge of his previous life, but now it seems that the difficulty has increased by more than a little bit. Although he is anxious and wants to learn more, unfortunately, the access to information is limited and he can only take it step by step. Anyway, martial arts and other things have no impact on Xiao Tianlei's current life. However, the LOL system has forced Xiao Tianlei to spend some time. Now, Xiao Tianlei calls the hero of the LOL system a hero template.
Xiao Tianlei often maintains the state of using the Demacia Power Hero template because it can promote his physical growth. Xiao Tianlei hopes that he will grow up faster, but he is hungry very quickly because of this. The older he is, the more obvious he is. Xiao Tianlei has to eat enough food and eat meat every day? But his current family background is really not good.
Three low adobe houses and a courtyard surrounded by fences, except for some simple furniture, there is nothing valuable in the family's clothes. The father Xiao Qinghe is an authentic farmer who works on the fields, carries water, collects firewood, repairs the family every day, and occasionally goes out to do some work, earns some hard money, and is usually taciturn; his mother Jiang does housework every day, and has almost no time to feed pigs, feed chickens, cuts pig grass, weaves cloth, cooks, and makes hemp shoes. The only entertainment is about the time when she goes to the Shuijing to wash clothes, and chats with other women in the village. Xiao Tianlei also has an older brother, who is about two years older than him, named Xiao Tianfu. Apart from two thick eyebrows like ink, he is just a fool, and there is nothing special about it.
I feed pigs and raise chickens at home. It seems that my family is well off, but whether it is pork or eggs, the power to deal with them is not in my own hands.
After a preliminary understanding of the surrounding environment, Xiao Tianlei has always had a doubt. Although the environment in Lingzhou is harsh, the climate is suitable for crop growth. If you ripen twice a year, your parents are not lazy people. When you get up early and go to bed late, how can you only barely feed and fed? At first, he guessed that the tax was too heavy and the land rent was too high. Later, he found out that his family was originally an illegal household and did not have to pay taxes. In fact, many people in the village were illegal households just to evade taxes. The fields planted by his father were not rented, but were cultivated by the older generation. In addition, they could buy them, but these fields did not belong to the private sector, but belonged to the tribe.
At this time, Xiao Tianlei realized how poor his family was. The land was from the clan. In addition to food, all the land obtained from farming had to be paid. The pigs in the pigpen were also raised for the clan. During the New Year holiday, at most, they could be given more lard or pigs in the water.
The tribe does this not for a single family, but for the whole tribe. The purpose of this is to concentrate financial resources and support scholars in the tribe, hoping that they can get fame and honor and revive the Xiao family.
As for why the elders of the Xiao family worked hard to do this, they had to mention the origin of the Xiao family in Zhengjiazhuang.
The Xiao family of Langya was originally a famous clan in Central China decades ago. Many clan members became officials in the court. Later, because of something, they implicated the entire clan. The Xiao family was scattered all over the world. Some of them were exiled to Lingzhou. After a lot of twists and turns, several people settled in Zhengjiazhuang. After decades, they have reproduced into the Xiao family with nearly a hundred people today.
The older generation in the clan still remembers the glory of the Xiao family, and is obsessed with it, and has made up their minds to revive the Xiao family and return to the ancestral land. If you want to revive the family, the best way out is undoubtedly to study, participate in the imperial examinations, and obtain fame.
The cost of studying is quite large. The Xiao family has no other industry except for a little land, so they can only let the whole clan live a hard life with gritted teeth and look forward to one day in the future. The scholars in the clan become high-ranking officials, and the whole clan will ascend to heaven and enjoy the happiness. Unfortunately, the whole clan has spent a lot of money after so many years, and only a few students and a bachelor's degree were produced.
Perhaps in order to stabilize the emotions of the clan, Xiao Tianlei's grandfather, who is the current clan leader, always talks about every New Year holiday that as long as the scholars in the clan are promising and pass the exam, the whole clan can live a good life, and this year whose children are good at studying. Other old people in the clan always talk about the Xiao family in Langya, which had thousands of hectares of land, food, chicken, duck, fish, and delicacies of mountains and seas... The so-called painting cakes to satisfy hunger and looking at plums to quench thirst, is probably this.
It is not that the clan members are easy to coax. They are at the bottom of society and want to get rid of their original class. This is the only hope. This is also the requirement of the elders in the clan. No one can violate it, at least on the surface. As for the secretly, it is not surprising that someone secretly saves some private money, gets some good food and eats it quietly, or talks about some gossip in private.
The most disadvantaged are some honest people, such as Xiao Tianlei's father Xiao Qinghe. Not only did he return to the clan's tribe, but his family suffered, he also had to serve labor service for those scholars who had become naturalized.
Xiao Tianlei could understand such a clan system, but he couldn't stand it and didn't want to be a filial son and grandson. He didn't think he could change anything. If he said his opinions, his father would probably be the first to jump out and slap himself, saying that he was unfilial. Xiao Tianlei wouldn't make things boring, but he had already made up his mind that if he wanted to live a good life, eat and wear warm clothes, he had to find a way out.
In fact, if Xiao Tianlei really has to work hard to study, he may be able to become a famous person, and it may not be necessary to get a fame and fortune. However, he has a self-righteous personality and will not do things he doesn’t like. Xiao Tianlei really has some psychological shadows about studying and taking exams. He still often has nightmares about exams for more than ten years after the college entrance examination in his previous life.
Xiao Tianlei would occasionally go around the village school in Zhengjiazhuang. Like other children, he lay on the windowsill and looked inside. The difference is that Xiao Tianlei was able to learn the words of this world, which is not difficult for a person with adult thoughts. Basically, he could learn seven or eight or eight. Anyway, he would teach those words for a day after studying in the village.
In addition to literacy enlightenment and some basic arithmetic content, the content of village education teaching mainly learns the works and articles of the sages of the world. Xiao Tianlei's opinion is that it is all about the general principles, such as the philosophy of life, and is not practical at all.
Philosophy is a pit. Although it has practical significance, when people use it, its greatest function is to fool people. After getting fame and fortune, it is just a stepping stone. Xiao Tianlei is a pragmatist. He lived for twenty or thirty years in his previous life. Although he didn't do well, he at least understood everything he should understand. He didn't believe in those false ones and only knew that the road had to be taken step by step. No matter how awesome it was, it was useless.
Xiao Tianlei is more interested in martial arts. When the strong men in the village practice martial arts, they always go to watch the fun. Practicing martial arts is quite common in this world, especially the people in Lingzhou are strong, and males basically practice a few skills. However, although practicing martial arts is common, only by practicing gyangqi can one be considered a real warrior. So, how to practice gyangqi?
Xiao Tianlei originally thought that there would be something similar to meridians and dantians, but as a result, all of these did not exist at all. It is no secret that the method of producing qi is produced. In those widely circulated stories, on the battlefield or in the enemy killing in the rivers and lakes, someone suddenly stimulated qi, exerted his power, and killed the enemy.
In addition to explosively stimulating the qi, there is also a relatively peaceful way, which is to practice martial arts hard, which can also be produced while practicing.
As for the reason and principle of the generation of Gangqi, Xiao Tianlei can only attribute it to the difference in the world at present. Originally, Xiao Tianlei discovered that this world seems the same as the world in his previous life. If you look closely, many things have subtle differences. If you go to the bottom of it, there may be some subtle differences in the basic composition of matter.
There are different types of qi and various ways of using it, which produces different powers and vary in height. However, these are all controlled by some large clans, general families, and sect gangs. They are not something that ordinary people can know, and Xiao Tianlei has no way to know. However, there is one thing that is certain. There is a prerequisite for practicing martial arts, that is, a strong body.
I am poor in literature and wealthy in martial arts. I heard a lot of this word in my previous life. When I put it in this world, I will not mention the same principle, such as precious medicinal materials, medicinal baths, etc. At least, sufficient nutrition is necessary. Simply put, you must first eat enough, and it is best to eat meat every day.
The family can barely eat food and food, and occasionally some meat can be eaten. Some fish caught by my father in the river or the butcher got into the water. It may be once a month, and not much each time. Xiao Tianlei felt even hungry after eating it. He had to think of a way. There was not an old saying in his previous life, self-reliance and adequate food and clothing.
Zhengjiazhuang is close to the mountains and forests. There are often birds and wild animals stealing crops. There are also many rivers nearby, and there are naturally fish and shrimps. Xiao Tianlei likes to watch programs like the animal world in his previous life. He is quite loving to wild animals. Even small animals will not easily hurt them. Now, in order to eat a bite of meat, love, etc., what do you know where to throw it away!
However, Xiao Tianlei must also be cautious. Lingzhou is called a land of smoky mistress. There is miasma in the mountains and waters. Many animals and plants are toxic. Wild animals may have some parasites and they must be carefully treated before they can be eaten.
Relying on some experience and knowledge in his previous life, things went smoothly. Xiao Tianlei got some food as he wished, although they were all frogs and grasshoppers.
When Xiao Tianlei discovered that killing some small animals, he could also obtain gold coins, which gave Xiao Tianlei great motivation. Although only one or two of them were pitiful, he originally thought that he could only obtain it if he had to fight with people or hunt wild animals.
There are two types of gold coins in LOL games. One is the reward coins obtained after playing a game, which can be called system coins, which are mainly used to purchase heroes; the other is the gold coins obtained in the game, which can be called game coins, which are used to purchase equipment.
