After broadcasting the ancient times live, I handed the system over to the state.

In fact, every time she does a live stream, it causes quite a stir among people in ancient times.

Zhu Qinggu knows this now.

Even setting aside ancient times, she, a modern person, was quite shocked to see a month's worth of crude steel production.

The total amount over a year is astronomical.

In other words, we are now industrialized everywhere. In ancient times, a year would have been a pitifully small amount.

In the early days, not everyone could afford an iron wok.

She opened Douyin (TikTok), and the first thing that appeared on the screen was a donkey face, which almost made her choke.

Those under the sky never expected to start with a smiling donkey face.

In the sunlight, some of the fluffy fur of the little donkey shone golden. It tilted its head and looked down at them with clear eyes.

However, being looked down upon by a donkey from such an unexpected perspective still brought a lot of joy to everyone, making them want to laugh out loud.

Especially when the donkey's nostrils flare and its ears twitch slightly, it softens the foolishness and gives off a more innocent and naive feeling.

They had no idea that even a donkey could instantly relax a person's tense mood.

Yes, the reason why later generations were able to have so much iron and organize so many people was because they went through a series of events.

Moreover, there are many factors related to the development of the times.

Not to mention them, even Zhu Qinggu laughed when he saw that donkey face, but when he saw the comments on the screen saying that the eyes looked like those of a stupid yet innocent college student, he couldn't laugh anymore.

Is it really that similar?

She picked up the mirror next to her, looked at herself, remained silent for a moment, and then decisively put it down.

She even thought the donkey was cuter...

[One of the funniest epitaphs in history.]

"Some people, even after they die, want their lives etched on their epitaphs, recording their tragic fates."

The dead deserve respect; how could such a thing be taken lightly? Ouyang Xiu looked at the sky and recalled the epitaph he had written for his friend Mei Yaochen, feeling a surge of emotion and nostalgia.

Epitaphs generally review a person's life experiences and achievements. Ouyang Xiu's style of writing is a simple and unpretentious way of remembering his loved ones, hence his restrained style.

It seems the person mentioned on the sky has had a life full of ups and downs.

As he had predicted, this man's life was indeed full of ups and downs, and even quite comical.

"There was a man named Yang Yixiao who had a tombstone erected after his death. The epitaph on the tombstone became famous. It only had a few words, but it recorded his tragic and comical life."

The phrase "初从文，三三不通" means that this person initially pursued literature but failed the imperial examinations for three consecutive years.

[“Later, he switched to martial arts. In the training ground, he shot an arrow, but missed the target and hit the drummer, who then expelled him.”]

At this point, the ancient people under the sky burst into laughter.

"This man seems to be good for neither literature nor martial arts, hahaha!" Zhang Fei laughed wildly.

In the same time and space, but in different locations, Guan Yu also experienced a rare moment of joy.

Not only Liu Bei's camp, but also Cao Cao's camp and Jiangdong were all laughing.

Wei Qing also laughed, and even the still young Huo Qubing pointed at the sky and laughed heartily.

He later switched to studying medicine, felt he had achieved some success, and wrote down a good prescription, which he then took, and died.

This made even great physicians like Dong Feng, Hua Tuo, Zhang Zhongjing, Sun Simiao, and Li Shizhen laugh, and they would always use Yang Yixiao as a negative example to tell their disciples.

But it doesn't end there.

[“In his own book, he added more details: after failing in martial arts, he went into business, but he was unlucky, encountering swindlers, thieves, and bandits.”]

"He also tried farming, but it was plagued by drought, floods, and locust plagues, so he eventually decided to study medicine."

Now the people under the sky were laughing uncontrollably.

How can someone be completely incapable of doing anything right?

It's always one calamity or another!

That's so unlucky!

No wonder his epitaph reads like that!

[Actually, looking at it from another angle, this guy is pretty impressive. He failed the imperial examinations for three years, but at least he passed the lowest level, right? Going to the examination hall means he's at least on the prefectural level, right? The fact that there was no drummer for the county-level exam shows he's quite skilled in martial arts!]

The barrage of comments on the screen alerted everyone, and they immediately realized what was happening.

Yes, looking at it this way, isn't he both a scholar and a warrior?

Moreover, they were tricked by bandits, but they didn't die and survived unharmed.

He studied agriculture for three years, but his family had no harvest. Yet, he was still able to take a break from his job, which shows that his family was well-off.

In ancient times, it took ten or more years for someone to achieve success in medicine, which shows that he was quite intelligent.

"It's just that the timing was too bad," Fan Zhongyan shook his head slightly.

Gradually, some people stopped laughing, because they couldn't even pass the imperial examination to become scholars.

How dare you laugh at others?

[After he died, he went to the underworld and waited for King Yama to hold court. He waited a long time and became very impatient, so he asked a ghost soldier, "Why hasn't King Yama come yet?"]

[The ghost soldier said, "King Yama is looking at your exam paper, and he laughed so hard he almost passed out. He hasn't woken up yet!"]

[This sounds like a joke to me...]

[This seems to originate from a folk joke or story from the Qing Dynasty, something like the "Laughing Forest Anthology".]

[Anyway, it's pretty funny.]

[If this person really existed, his tomb would probably become a popular tourist attraction, because this guy is just too abstract and knows how to create something truly unique!]

Sometimes, tragedy is the end of comedy.

Zhu Qinggu felt the same way. She really thought this person was quite capable and hardworking, but he just couldn't succeed at anything.

For some reason, she remembered some interesting epitaphs. After they were engraved, it seemed that the aura of death was diluted, especially the epitaph she had seen that said "Please give me a resurrection ticket".

It's both heartbreaking and hilarious to watch.

Zhu Yuanzhang muttered, "If such a person really exists, he should neither farm nor study medicine. If he farms and natural disasters strike, what will become of him? He might kill someone else instead of himself!"

But he laughed quite a bit just now.

After Zhu Biao noticed that the sky curtain had arrived, his father became less tense.

He always thought the arrival of the sky was a good thing.

Both videos were very enjoyable, and since it's evening now, it's a good time to temporarily forget the worries of the day and relax.

After the people under the canopy finished laughing and joking, they continued to look at the canopy.

However, they have already firmly remembered Yang Yixiao as such an unlucky fellow.
