From a freeloader to a world leader

"From now on, I don't plan to plant the fields-----"

Sun Shan first expressed his concept of land in a positive way.

Before he could finish his words, the families of his eldest and second uncles started jumping and shouting.

"Shan Ge'er, do you mean that the fields will be handed over to us from now on?"

Sun Changping was so excited that he broke several gray hairs on his beard with one hand. He felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest, and he walked up to Sun Shan impatiently.

As the eldest son of Sun Shan's grandfather's family, he naturally has a great say in the disposal of the family's land.

If, according to his idea, he took advantage of the opportunity of Sun Shan passing the imperial examination to unite the three branches of the family that had been separated and put them under the name of his mother who was already seventy-two years old.

Well, as the head of the family, it is up to me to decide whether to exempt the land from tax and corvee labor.

In this way, even if Sun Shan passed the imperial examination and became a juren or jinshi in the future.

He has to listen to himself, otherwise, he will be cursed by the world.

"The tax-free land can be handed over to you."

Sun Shan nodded at first, but when he saw his eldest and second uncles rushing to speak, he could not help but waved his hand lightly.

He gestured to them to stop talking and let him finish.

This once again surprised the entire family, who were used to the cowardly Sun Shan.

I feel that Sun Shan in front of me is really strong.

Sun Shan, who used to be timid and taciturn, became so strong and would not tolerate any interruption or rebuttal after waking up one night and sitting alone by the river for a day.

"Not only will I give you a share of the tax-free land, but I will also give the ten acres of land in my family to you, uncle and second uncle, to farm. As for how much millet to give to my mother-----"

As he spoke, Sun Shan's sharp eyes swept across the faces of his two uncles and his excited cousins.

Then, he smiled slightly at his mother and sister who looked anxious and hesitant, and signaled them not to worry.

"Let's just take 30%, as long as it can ensure that my mother and Yadan have food to eat. As for myself, I will go to Xiangnan Prefecture to develop in a few days."

At this point, he was afraid that his mother and sister would be worried, so he added: "My classmate and good friend Zhang Yuliang, his family runs a restaurant in Hengzhou Prefecture. Before the exam, Mr. Zhang made an appointment with me to work as an accountant in their restaurant in a few days. The salary is five taels of silver per month. I plan to work for a while to supplement the family income-----"

"Five taels of silver!"

"Oh my god! With five taels of silver, I can buy an acre of good farmland in two months!"

"Shan Ge'er has become rich now. I think he should just work as an accountant in the future. Why would he take the imperial examination? I don't know if he can pass it. He ranked last. Isn't it a waste of money-----"

Sun Shan had very good hearing, and he could hear all the surprises and murmurs of his relatives below.

In fact, he never thought of being an accountant.

He even wanted to sell all the land at home to pay off his debts and to replenish his frail body.

However, this world is like any feudal dynasty, and the common people regard land as more important than their lives.

In order not to appear too different, Sun Shan had no choice but to lie to his family and say that he went to Xiangnan Prefecture to work as an accountant.

In fact, the Zhang family, who had always supported me, said that after I passed the imperial examination, I could go to their restaurant and work part-time while studying, and work as an accountant.

Moreover, he was only given three taels of silver every month.

But in order to reassure his mother, Sun Shan deliberately reported more.

However, if you fail the exam, you can only go back home to farm or find a job in a shop in the county town to make a living.

It was because, in order to support Sun Shan's studies, his family became penniless and owed a lot of money, so he had no way to continue his studies.

"Mom, that's great. Brother Shan can earn five taels of silver a month, so he can continue his studies!"

The younger sister, whose nickname is Yadan and whose real name is Sun Yuxiang, grabbed her mother's hand with great joy and was very happy for the financial future of her only brother.

"Haha, that's great, Yadan. Your brother has made great progress now. He will take good care of you in the future."

When Mrs. Sun Chen heard her son say that he would have a job with a monthly salary of five taels of silver, she straightened her old back which had been bent for several years with joy.

I feel that life is hopeful and has a direction!

The son passed the imperial examination and became a scholar at a young age, and became filial and sensible overnight.

Thinking of this, she silently chanted in her heart: "Old man, please open your eyes. Our Shan'er passed the examination and became a scholar. Now he is well-behaved and sensible. Please continue to bless him in the underworld and make sure he passes the examination and becomes the top scholar. Then, let Shan'er give birth to seven or eight big fat boys for our grandson family!"

Sun Shan never expected that his mother would suddenly think of herself passing the imperial examination, becoming the top scorer in the imperial examination, and giving birth to seven or eight grandchildren for him.

Sun Shan is not very confident about passing the imperial examination.

However, passing the imperial examination was his most basic goal.

This world is the same as that in the Tang and Song dynasties. Scholars are still one of the lowest classes in society, while juren have the potential to enter officialdom and become the power players in this world.

Since I have traveled through time, it is impossible for me to live my life in mediocrity and just become a last-place scholar and live to old age.

Wouldn't that be a disgrace to those who travel through time?

As for marrying more wives and having more children, he and his mother Chen agree on this point, and it is somewhat coincidental.

After the clansmen calmed down a bit, Sun Shan waved his hand and continued, "After I go to Hengzhou in a few days, I will have to trouble my second uncle and third grandfather to take good care of my mother and sister. I will come back to see them after my life there stabilizes."

"Haha, don't worry, Shan'er, with your third grandfather and second uncle here, no one dares to say a word!"

When Sun Bohe saw that Sun Shan asked him to take care of his mother and sister, he quickly agreed.

In fact, even if Sun Shan said nothing, he was the only scholar in the Sun family in the past fifty years.

Who dares to have any thoughts about Sun Shan’s mother’s sister?

However, I am about to go on a long journey, so I have to say what I need to say and arrange what I need to do in advance.

No matter how close the relationship is between people, interests are always what concerns people the most.

Therefore, Sun Shan put his share of 20 mu of tax-free land on the clan’s public land.

In this way, my great-uncle Sun Bohe, as the head of the family, would naturally put in a lot of effort.

"Shan'er, just go out and don't worry. Earn more money and come back to honor your mother."

The eldest uncle, Sun Changping, responded immediately, and then asked with a twitch in his mouth: "Then how about our whole family getting together? While your grandma is still healthy, we can take better care of her together."

Sun Shan knew what his uncle and second uncle meant, and he couldn't help but sneer in his heart: Maybe it's just to make it easier to take care of your family? When my father was alive, why didn't you ask for a family reunion?

Now that I have passed the examination and become a scholar, and have tax-free land and tax-exempt quotas, you are thinking about this good thing.

The three families have been separated for nearly ten years since my grandfather passed away ten years ago.

Before I passed the imperial examination, my family never mentioned it.

The reason he brings this up now is simply because he has his eyes on the tax-free land and the quota for exemption from corvée labor under his name.

In fact, neither the original Sun Shan nor the Sun Shan who traveled through time was interested in the family at all.

If it were the Sun Shan of the past, he might have nodded in agreement reluctantly because he was timid or wanted to save face.

Who am I now?

I am a mixture of Sun Shan who fell in love with this world and the world a thousand years later!

If the three companies merge into one, it will only become a burden to me and will not bring much benefit.

"When combined, it may be difficult. Let alone the township, the household registration in the county will be very difficult to pass."

Sun Shan first declined his uncle's proposal, and at the same time, he looked at the performance of several people in his uncle's and second uncle's families.

I saw that my two uncles had lost looks on their faces, and my cousin Sun Bing had a gloomy expression. Several cousins-in-law who were farther away started to mutter and blame me.

"Brother Shan, can I go and think of a solution?" Sun Bing frowned, then stood up and said, "I know some people in the county, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

Although Sun Shan didn't know much about Sun Bing's network of relationships, he had the experience of a thousand years later.

I understand that a character like Sun Bing is just like those small and medium-sized gang leaders a thousand years later.

If it is a fight between individuals or small groups, he may have some power.

But when it comes to officialdom, his so-called big shots are nothing more than child's play.

Unless he paves the way with money.

However, this matter is of no benefit to me, and I am now heavily in debt.

After waking up, they ate coarse grains, and Yadan ate wild vegetable dumplings.

Why should I sacrifice myself to help others?

"Sixth Brother-----"

Sun Shan first shouted happily, then waved his hand: "This is not a simple relationship. It can only be handled properly if I pass the imperial examination or spend a lot of money-----"

After saying this, he did not allow Sun Bing to make any more excuses and said firmly: "Let's leave it at that for now. If I pass the imperial examination next year, then you two uncles will arrange the quota for me, okay?"

Sun Changping first exchanged glances with his son Sun Bing, then looked at his younger brother Sun Daping, who was much more honest than himself, and raised his eyebrows.

He originally thought that his always honest brother would let him make arrangements.

Unexpectedly, the second brother Sun Daping grinned and said foolishly: "Shan'er, your uncle and I agree with your approach. You should go to the mansion to study and work hard. Your uncle and I will take good care of your mother and sister. When you pass the imperial examination in the future------"

As he spoke, Sun Daping seemed to recall the scene where his nephew passed the imperial examination and became as prosperous as Fan Jin, a juren from the neighboring county.

I couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"When you pass the imperial examination, our whole family will enjoy the happiness with you in the future-------"
