Chapter 252 Children's Dreams
When the Mu family returned home, they saw Cheng Zishi and Doctor Deng sitting there.
"Are you back?" Doctor Deng picked up Mu Baobao and patted the snow off her body. "Baby, you went out for some fresh air. Are you happy now?"
Baby Mu nodded his little head heavily, "Happy!"
"It's just that it's too cold outside and it's snowing heavily."
"Master, how long do you think this heavy snow will last?"
Doctor Deng sighed and said, "I don't know how long this will last."
"Looking at the situation, many places throughout Rong Dynasty have suffered from snow disasters."
Mu Baobao frowned, "Doesn't that mean many people have nowhere to live and no food to eat?"
Doctor Deng said, "Yes, there are many victims."
"However, the imperial court should have sent disaster relief supplies, so I think this matter will be resolved soon."
Mu Baobao didn't quite understand. "Master, what is the imperial court? Is it specifically for distributing things?"
Doctor Deng explained it in simple terms, "The imperial court is similar to the county government, but it is much more powerful than the county government."
Mu Baobao said in understanding, "So that's how it is."
"With the help of the imperial court, the victims will have food to eat and won't have to worry about having no place to live, right?"
Doctor Deng said, "We can only rebuild our residence after the heavy snow stops."
"The most important thing now is to provide the victims with food and water so they don't get sick."
"If you get sick, it can easily lead to a lot of problems..."
He told Mu Baobao everything in detail.
Mu Baobao felt dizzy after hearing this and thought that the imperial court was so powerful.
The children of Muniuniu have different ideas.
Imperial court, it would be great if they could become officials one day in the future.
Several children were talking in low voices.
"Tell me, is it true that the only way to become an official is to pass the imperial examination?"
“It seems like this is the only way.”
"That shouldn't be possible, why don't we ask the gentleman?"
Muniuniu and several other children ran to Cheng Zishi.
"Sir, is the only way to become an official to take the imperial examination?"
Cheng Zishi didn't think there was anything wrong or bad about Muniuniu and the other kids asking this question.
"There are certainly more ways to enter the officialdom than just taking the imperial examination, but this path is the best choice for most people."
Mu Niuniu and the other children didn't understand, "Sir, what do you mean by the best choice?"
Cheng Zishi patiently explained, "First of all, most people are ordinary people with no background or backing."
"If they want to enter the officialdom, the best way is to take the imperial examination."
Muniu and the other children understood what was going on. So that's how it was.
Cheng Zishi continued, "Next, let's talk about other ways to enter the official career."
"One is that someone recommends you."
He pointed at himself and said, "For example, if I recommend one of you, that person might not have to take the imperial examination and could enter the official career."
"Of course, the person recommending someone else must have a certain status and ability, otherwise it's basically useless."
Muniuniu and the other children all said "oh", none of them had thought of taking this path, they knew they didn't have the ability to do so.
Cheng Zishi saw the expressions of the children and smiled slightly. "The second method is to be someone who makes a great contribution."
"However, this method makes it easy for others to take credit for your work."
Mu Niuniu and the other children didn't quite understand, "The credit was taken away?"
Cheng Zishi said, "There are many bad people in this world. Some people with status and position will steal the credit of those without status and position, so that they can get promoted and get rich faster."
"If you have the opportunity to make great contributions in the future, please tell me or Doctor Deng as soon as possible. This will protect you to the greatest extent possible."
He didn't say that those people would get rid of the people who really made contributions just in case.
After all, the dead are the safest.
Mu Niuniu asked, "Sir, is there any other way?"
Cheng Zishi said, "And he was lucky enough to be favored by the daughter of a powerful person."
"Or perhaps, he was taken in as a disciple by some powerful nobleman and was accidentally noticed by the Emperor."
"There are many ways, but the best way is for you to take the imperial examination or the martial arts examination."
"Martial Arts Examination?" Mu Niuniu's eyes lit up. "Sir, what is the martial arts examination?"
Cheng Zishi smiled and said, "The martial arts exam is the same as the imperial examination."
"But the martial arts exam relies on martial arts proficiency. Niu Niu, you can try this path."
"However, I must remind you that anyone who participates in the martial arts examination must have excellent martial arts skills."
Mu Niuniu clenched his fists and made up his mind, "Sir, I will practice martial arts well."
He wanted to take part in the military examination and become an official to make life better for his family.
Cheng Zishi said, "If you really want to participate in the martial arts examination, then I will give you double the training."
"Also, the road to the martial arts exam isn't that easy."
"Now that the world is at peace, military officers are less valued than civil officials."
Mu Niuniu was very open-minded and said, "Sir, I am not good at studying, nor at other things. I might as well try the martial arts exam."
"At least, it's a chance, isn't it?"
Cheng Zishi agreed with him and said, "Your idea is right."
Mu Yuyu raised her hand and said, "Sir, if I can't even pass the imperial examinations or the martial arts examinations, and I don't want to be an official, what else can I do?"
Cheng Zishi asked, "What do you want to do?"
Mu Yuyu said excitedly, "I want to do business!"
"I want to expand our family business, to a very large scale, so that we will never be short of money."
Cheng Zishi didn't think there was anything wrong with doing business or being a businessman.
Although merchants have a low status, they are still rich.
As the saying goes, money can make the world go round.
For ordinary people, having money is the most important thing.
"You have a good idea."
He said gently, "It's just that it's not that easy to make your business bigger and stronger."
"It involves interpersonal relationships, social skills, and so on, and you also need to have someone to back you up."
"If ordinary people want to succeed in business, it's hard to keep quiet and they're easily targeted."
Mu Yuyu said, "Sir, I have thought about making money and opening a shop first."
"When we have enough money to open a shop, we can talk about other things. The most important thing now is to make money."
Other children also expressed their ideas.
Some wanted to take the imperial examinations, some wanted to be teachers, and some wanted to be local landlords.
In short, every child has his or her own dream.
Cheng Zishi and Dr. Deng smiled at each other. Children with dreams are really dazzling.
"I want to be a businessman." Not wanting to be left behind, Baby Mu raised his little paws.
"Master, I want to make a lot of money and become a wealthy businessman."
Doctor Deng smiled and asked, "How much money do you plan to make, baby?"
Mu Baobao thought for a long time, but couldn't think of an exact amount of silver. He said, "A lot, enough for our family to have enough money to spend."
Doctor Deng took the opportunity to teach, "Baby, your range is quite wide."
"Some things are worth a fortune."
Mu Baobao asked, "Master, is Qianjin a young lady? Is she worth a young lady?"
