Experimental system? Gaining power? Or just for fun?
Neither! His purpose of this trip was only to save himself!
In fact, just as you thought, Zhang Sirui is not only a time traveler, but also a fetal traveler.
After being nurtured in his mother's womb and baptized by the years for nearly twenty years, his soul and body have been perfectly integrated. Even the highest level practitioners in this world cannot find any flaws.
19 years ago, he was born in this small village called Yuyang Village, which was administratively under the jurisdiction of the Great Jin Dynasty, Zhenjiang Prefecture, and Taiping County.
Zhang Sirui's parents in this life are both locals, and their occupations are slightly special. His father is the only carpenter in Yuyang Village, and his mother is just an ordinary farmer. The reason why this is emphasized is to cut off his fantasy of having supreme bloodline.
Although it is a strange and fantasy world, judging from the development of the times, it cannot escape the restrictions of the feudal system. With the attitude of giving himself a humble name to make life easier, he gloriously received the god-level supporting role of Zhang San.
As for Si Rui, it was the courtesy name Zhang San thought of for himself. He originally intended for his father to pass it on to him when he came of age, but unfortunately, things happen unexpectedly and misfortunes may come to people at any time.
In the third year after his mother's difficult childbirth, Zhang San's father could not escape the law of cause and effect of his parents' sacrifice to the sky. Perhaps this is the mysterious power from the East.
Zhang San felt really bad about this. Human beings are emotional creatures. The bond of blood and the sense of belonging generated by long-term companionship are irreplaceable.
Fortunately, he was not an ordinary child. With the help of his previous life experience, he quickly calmed down. The fifteen-year-old Zhang San used his slightly thin shoulders to carry the burden of the family. He followed in his father's footsteps and became the only carpenter in the village again. After all, he and his sister still needed to make a living.
The earth will continue to rotate without anyone. Although I don't know the rules governing the movement of celestial bodies in this world, I think they are probably similar.
Although Zhang San is very young, he is very knowledgeable about the workplace. After becoming a carpenter, he has more or less gained the right to speak in the village.
Especially after he established a good relationship with Li Zheng of Yuyang Village, he obtained some information about the local dynasty. Of course, more information actually came from a book written by the head of the village.
From Xi Nong to Huangdi, they were called the Three Sovereigns and lived in the upper world.
…
The Ying Qin clan began to annex other states. During the reign of the second emperor, the Chu-Han War broke out.
…
Emperor Gaozu of Tang was the leader of the uprising. He eliminated the chaos of Sui Dynasty and founded the country.
…
The territory was vast, surpassing that of previous dynasties. After ninety years, the country was destroyed.
Does it look familiar? Yes, this is the enlightenment book "Three Character Classic" compiled by Wang Yinglin, the Minister of Rites of the Southern Song Dynasty, and revised again by the great scholar Lu Wangxin! Five thousand years, except for too much mythology and the history of the Jin Dynasty that should not have appeared, this world is like a parallel world of the previous life, at least in terms of historical heritage, it is almost the same.
Historical books say that after the demise of the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Taizu of the Great Jin Dynasty (Gaoyang, a taboo) rose up with various heroes and fought for the world. In the end, His Majesty Taizu won and established the Great Jin Dynasty. Today, the country has lasted for 180 years.
The above is the well-known history of the Great Jin Dynasty, but with the help of the memories of his previous life and the cultivation of fantasy novels, Zhang San even had a sudden idea that perhaps the current Great Jin Dynasty was established after stealing the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty.
As for why this turning point occurred, it is unknown.
The capital of the Great Jin Dynasty was in Shuntian Prefecture (Yanjing), while Zhang San's hometown was in Zhenjiang Prefecture. Although the two were not tens of thousands of miles apart, they were far apart.
And this is just Zhenjiang Prefecture, not to mention Yuyang Village where Zhang San is.
Being far away from the political center resulted in a lack of information. Although Dajin had established a county-level post station, it could not reach Yuyang Village.
However, when Zhang San entered Taiping County to sell wood carvings, he passed by a teahouse and heard a storyteller say that the current Jin Dynasty was a country with clean government and all nations came to pay tribute. Although it was indeed not as large as the previous dynasties in terms of territory, it was already at the pinnacle of history in terms of national strength. The creator of all this must be the six consecutive generations of wise rulers of the Jin Dynasty.
Of course, as a modern man who has received nine years of compulsory education, Zhang San will definitely not believe the one-sided words of the storyteller. After all, men's mouths can lie.
However, with the support of dialectics, Zhang San, who had lived in Dajin for nearly twenty years, also had his own unique views. After the new monarch, Emperor Qi Ling, ascended the throne, in addition to continuing to implement the One Whip Law promulgated by Emperor Yuan Shou, he also expanded and perfected the commercial tax bill and other policies.
Although it was indeed not very friendly to businessmen like Zhang San, with the support of commercial taxes, taxes on agriculture were naturally reduced again, which cleverly completed the process of benefiting the people and played a huge role in the stability and development of the dynasty.
Regardless of whether the Great Jin Dynasty is strong or not, this matter alone at least proves that Emperor Qi Ling is a very courageous emperor. According to the 300-year law of a dynasty, Emperor Qi Ling, who is only in his twenties, even has the potential to become a king of revival.
Even in the past history, Emperor Qi Ling's ranking would never fall out of the top ten. If it weren't for his contributions to founding the country and expanding the territory, his ranking would have been raised again.
However, even such a great man of the time could not suppress the ghost plagues that were everywhere. In this strange and mysterious world, natural disasters and man-made calamities occurred almost every year.
When a dragon walks, it turns into a marshland of thousands of miles; when a drought demon steps, the land is barren for thousands of miles! It must be said that whether it is Emperor Qi Ling or Zhang San, they were born in the wrong era.
Although it is not as fierce and strong as floods and droughts, whoever encounters such a thing as a ghost plague will be unlucky.
It’s okay for those who have cultivated, at worst they can still bite off a piece of flesh before they die, but if you don’t have any cultivation, then you can only offer a young girl as a living sacrifice to appease the anger of the ghosts, as heaven and earth will not respond.
Unfortunately, Zhang San's sister, Yaya, who is only six years old, is the candidate for the child girl in Yuyang Village this time, and the feeling of powerlessness is the fundamental reason for Zhang San's awakening system!
