After being reborn as a man, the woman improved her family's fortunes through education.

Two days later, on New Year's Eve, the snow stopped.

The whole family stayed up all night to welcome the New Year, and all seven children received lucky money from their elders.

Jiang Xiaoqi ate sesame candy and casually put the red envelope into her exquisite space.

He couldn't sleep on New Year's Eve, but his elders felt sorry for him because of his young age, so they asked Lin Yueniang to coax him to sleep as soon as midnight was over.

Jiang Xiaoqi really didn't mind staying up all night, since she wouldn't be able to rest in the study room after going to sleep anyway.

Sometimes he really felt that he was no different from his previous life, except that he was busy with his career and busy with his studies.

"Hey buddy, you need to find me some official gazettes from the court. I didn't do well on the exam this year. If it weren't for my experience from my previous life, I might not have been able to keep my first place."

He felt that he couldn't rely on his past achievements and had to constantly enrich and update his knowledge base.

To truly keep up with the pace of development in this era and resonate with it, we cannot always rely on 'empiricism' to narrowly win.

Jiang Xiaoqi lay on the small bed in Lin Yueniang's room, closed her eyes and entered the study room space. Soon, her breathing became steady, as if she were fast asleep.

"This child is still the same as before, falling asleep the moment his head hits the pillow. It seems that studying is too mentally taxing; he needs to catch up on his brain," Lin Yueniang said with concern.

"Yes, madam, it must be very hard for the young master to have to travel so far away to study."

New Year's Eve has passed, and our little prince is four years old now. He's growing more and more outstanding, looking just like Madam when she was a child.

Granny Zhou tucked the blanket around Jiang Xiaoqi, her heart softening as she looked at the little boy who looked like a little dumpling.

"Host, there are some official gazettes, but none of them are the latest ones, only those from four or five years ago. You'll have to make do with them for now."

"Four or five years ago?! That long ago? I wasn't even born four or five years ago! Are you trying to fool me?!"

"Oh dear, host, what kind of person do you think I am! It's not that my attitude is the problem, it's entirely my incompetence."

You don't know, the imperial gazette only circulates among officials. Someone like your great-uncle, who was a fifth-rank official, had access to quite a bit of it.

Why go through all this trouble for the young man? Once we get back to the Jiang clan school, we can just ask your high-ranking uncle, who's an official, for it!

Jiang Xiaoqi thought about it and felt that Tongzi wasn't telling the truth, but he didn't want to delve into it now.

He was right about one thing: his great-uncle did indeed have access to a lot of official government gazettes.

"Alright, let's use the old official gazette for now. Find me as many as possible, whether it's military, political, agricultural, or anything else related to the court's various policies and decrees, I need every kind."

"Received. A large number of official reports will be delivered to you shortly, please wait..."

Jiang Xiaoqi opened a gazette about the reinforcement of troops on the frontier. Although the content was somewhat outdated, it still revealed the political situation at the time and the political views of the main civil and military officials of the court.

As Jiang Xiaoqi read, he took notes. He knew that gaining a deep understanding of the court's movements and cultivating his own political acumen would be a long-term endeavor.

After all, in my previous life, I only paid attention to import and export trade and exchange rates, and I didn't pay much attention to anything else.

Although the information provided by the system was outdated, it still gave him a lot of inspiration.

At least he could get a glimpse into the emperor's character and way of ruling from how the current emperor handled the country's affairs, big and small, a few years ago.

To his relief, the emperor, who had just turned 30 this year, was a wise and capable ruler, which put his mind at ease.

After all, he had already decided to take the imperial examination, and in the future he might become a disciple of the emperor.

Time passed slowly, and after reading through a large stack of official gazettes, my understanding of this dynasty deepened.

I stretched and rubbed my eyes. I felt a little tired, but my mind was clearer.

"System, please change all the rewards for the next class session to Youth Preservation Pills and Marrow Cleansing Pills. We'll leave the Snow White Pills for now."

Although the supply of ten 'Beauty Pills' per month is not large, I have almost no stock left and must replenish it in time.

She didn't add any Marrow Cleansing Pills to the fifty Beauty Pills she took afterward. She needed the Marrow Cleansing Pills right now to recover the energy and stamina she had spent on studying.

Those fifty beauty pills were made by combining fifteen snow skin pills and fifteen youth-preserving pills into one super-sized pill, which was then cut into fifty equal parts.

It only had whitening and skin-softening effects, and since it was different from what she had eaten before, Madam Chiang didn't say anything.

He's consumed quite a few Marrow Cleansing Pills, and now he possesses abilities like clairvoyance and clairaudience. As a result, he's running low on all three types of pills.

Fortunately, I did accumulate some points, but it's far from enough to upgrade the exquisite space. However, it doesn't matter, since there's not much in the space.

So far, besides a carefree pen, all I have is an empty wooden box, four colorful porcelain bottles filled with elixirs, and two sets of clothes for myself.

I currently have less than 1,500 class hours points, so I'll just keep them.

All the daily study room tasks and achievements can be exchanged for Youth Preservation Pills and Marrow Cleansing Pills. In the future, when providing beauty pills to my great-uncle, only Youth Preservation Pills will be available.

One youth-preserving pill is divided into five portions; if the pills aren't big enough, they add some roasted flour. Sigh~ I've become a shady merchant myself~

I'm sorry to my future customers, but once I've made it big, I'll definitely increase the proportion of active ingredients to give back to my loyal customers!

Jiang, the black-hearted Xiao Qi, despised himself for a moment, then comforted himself with the thought that "no merchant is without guile," and at least he had added some real stuff!

At least it's better than those purely fraudulent ones in later generations, where there's no beef in the beef balls and no lamb in the lamb skewers.

Leather shoes are made into old-fashioned yogurt, zombie meat from a hundred years ago is used in hot pot, and kids born in the 2000s are eating pig trotters from the 1980s.

Sigh~ Thinking about it this way, ancient times were better. At least we didn't have to worry about food safety and there weren't any weird food additives!

He wasn't exactly dishonest; at most, he was just... thrifty and hardworking?

"Host, host, host, what are you thinking about? Although time flows more slowly in this space, it's not for you to waste it by spacing out!"

"Oh, alright! I was just spacing out for a little while. You really are a modern-day Zhou Bapi!"

He's even more exploitative than capitalists! You just wait, once I've studied everything from ancient times to the present, become an ancient scholar, and reached the pinnacle of life, I'll find a way to untie this Broken Scroll King System! Hmph!

A set of five-year imperial examination simulations and three-year mock examinations appeared on the table in the study space, silently suppressing the host's unrealistic ideas.
