Traveling through ancient times to farm and raise cubs with a golden finger

Chapter 44 The Imperial Examination Process
Yu Xiaoxiao put away the money box in the house, and then sat back to her seat, and began to talk long and old: "This year's income is good, and your studies should be put on the agenda."

In this regard, the two children did not refute.

Shen Ye pondered for a moment and said: "Mother, I want to try Tongshi first."

Yu Xiaoxiao didn't know much about this, so Yu Xiaoxiao asked directly: "Tongshi?"

"Yes, the children's examination is also called the county examination. It is held once a year. It is an examination organized by the county. Only after passing the examination can you be qualified to participate in the government examination."

Yu Xiaoxiao heard her eldest son say this, and suddenly had a question: "The county test is followed by the government test, so what happens after the government test?"

"The college examination is also called the scientific examination."

Yu Xiaoxiao nodded thoughtfully, and then asked: "Is it true that if you pass the county test, you will be called Tongsheng, if you have passed the college test, you will be called a scholar, if you have passed the township test, you will be called Juren, if you have passed the test, you will be called Gongshi, and if you have passed the test, you will be called a scholar. The first few are called Jinshi, and the last ones with rankings will go to the palace examination, right?"

Shen Ye nodded, indicating that he could say that.

Yu Xiaoxiao asked again: "The county exam and the government exam are organized by the local government, right?"

Shen Ye replied obediently: "Yes, once a year."

"Then what's the benefit of trying it?"

Shen Ye continued to explain to his mother: "Except for Tongsheng's title and the qualifications to take the entrance examination, there are no privileges.

Only those who have passed the college examination and become a scholar can enjoy some privileges, such as: you can see officials without kneeling, you can be exempted from guards and rations, and students from poor families can also receive some living allowances from the rent of the school field. If a scholar violates the prohibition, and the crime is serious, the local officials also need to report to the school administration first, and wait until the student is expelled before disposing of it. If the crime is not serious, it can be handled by the school administration officials.

Of course, students are also graded.

Those with the best grades are called "Linsheng", and the officials will distribute food on a monthly basis, and they can also serve as guarantors for candidates.

Secondly, it is called "increasing students". No food is provided, and there is a certain quota, which is used to increase the number of students.

Finally, there are "appendant students", that is, the attached student members who have just entered school. "

Yu Xiaoxiao understands it. To put it bluntly, it means that if you pass the Tongsheng examination, you will have a good reputation. If you pass the examination as a scholar, it is the beginning. There is food for a month, and I can make money as a guarantee for others.

Wait, guarantee?Wouldn't it be necessary at home?

"Son, if you want to take the county examination, don't you have to find a scholar to be your guarantor?"

Yu Xiaoxiao watched Shen Ye nod and was sure that the money must be spent, so she could only ask: "Since you inquired so clearly, have you found out who in our town can be your guarantor? How much gift do we want to give?" Is that okay?"

Shen Ye nodded and said in an unhurried voice: "There are two people in the town who are suitable to be guarantors, one is Lu Xiucai from the east of the city, and the other is Yuan Xiucai from the north of the city.

Yuan Xiucai is a good person, but his luck is a little bit bad. For many years, due to various reasons, he has been forced to be a scholar, living by being a guarantor, and living in poverty.

Lu Xiucai's fortune is not bad, but he lacks some talents. So far, he can only stop at a scholar. He has no hope of raising others. His family is richer, and he often provides guarantees for others to subsidize the family. He lives happily and happily.

Both of them are kind people, and they only charge three taels of silver as guarantors. "

Yu Xiaoxiao frowned when she heard the words: "That's what I said, but we have to give gifts when we go to visit, but it's not too much to exchange three taels of silver for a place in the exam.

You also went to school for two years in the small period, and you have studied with your brother for the past few years. Do you want to try it first like your brother? "

Shen Ye thought about it for a while, and thought it was feasible, and said, "You might as well try it with me in the short term. You have learned a lot from me in the past few years, and your knowledge is not bad. You can give it a try."

Shen Qi, who was already a little moved, immediately agreed after hearing what his elder brother said, "Okay."

Yu Xiaoxiao suddenly thought of the question of time: "Ye'er, how many months are the county and government exams usually in?"

"The county exam requires five consecutive exams in February each year, and the government exam requires three consecutive exams in April each year."

Yu Xiaoxiao was a little surprised: "There are so many exams, how many days will it take? Do you need to go in advance?"

Shen Ye shook his head and explained: "Each test takes one day, and as long as you finish writing, you can hand in the paper and leave, but you need to go early, and you need to find a place to live."

Come on, it's so troublesome.

Yu Xiaoxiao complained secretly, but asked other questions in her mouth: "Then who are you going to visit? When will you go? Besides, you should pay attention to the time yourself. We will go early when February is approaching, waiting for you We'll come back after the two exams."

Shen Ye nodded: "I don't know if my mother is taboo about things like luck? If not, we'll visit Yuan Xiucai, if not, then we'll visit Lu Xiucai.

The visit time is set on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, mother, do you think it is feasible? "

Regarding luck, Yu Xiaoxiao has nothing to shy away from, but hearing what the eldest son said, she is more inclined to find Yuan Xiucai as a guarantor, so Yuan Xiucai should be it.

"There's nothing to be taboo about, just do as you please."

Yu Xiaoxiao paused when she said this, and reminded: "Since you have decided to take the exam, then don't take over the job of copying books for the time being, and for you, I will try to leave all the chicken raising to you for five years." Grandma and Grandma Li, you can raise another Wen for their wages."

Shen Qi nodded, indicating that he would be obedient.

Yu Xiaoxiao just talked about another clichéd topic: "As for whether to buy land or not, we'll have to wait until next year. This year is already busy enough. If you arrange some things, you have to go to the exam. I guess it's a bit busy." Come."

Shen Ye agreed: "Mom, what you said is that it is best if you can be admitted as a scholar, so that as long as you are admitted to Juren, we don't have to pay taxes for buying land, and the rent we get is enough for our family for a year. It can be used for food, which can save a sum of money to buy food."

Shen Qi is like an emotionless nodding machine, what the elder brother said is right, he just needs to be responsible for nodding.

Yu Xiaoxiao gave Shen Qi a blank look, ignored Shen Qi, and talked to the eldest son: "It's good that you have confidence, but don't force it, nothing is as important as your body."

Shen Ye's usually serious face now had a bit of a smile and warmth on it: "My son knows, and I won't let mother worry you."

"That's good. Let's stop here today. It's late. Go back to sleep."

Yu Xiaoxiao rubbed the heads of the two children one by one, and urged them with a doting smile.

The two children were very obedient, obediently picked up their money box, left their mother's house, and went back to rest.

The next day, Shen Ye continued to finish copying the book that he had received earlier.

Shen Qi went to tell Grandma Fifth and Grandma Li about the results of yesterday's discussion, and told them by the way that if they could take over the whole job of raising chickens, the wages would be increased by another 100 renminbi.

When Grandma Fifth and Grandma Li heard that there was still such a good thing, they immediately promised that they could do it, so Shen Qi completely let go in the next few days...
