Xia's mother, who was originally in a panic, felt inexplicably calm when she looked at her calm and calm daughter. She seemed to have found a spiritual support and felt warm in her heart.
"Hey, I listen to you." Her voice was choked with sobs, "Your brother and I didn't know what to do before... Your brother also planned to sell six acres of land in exchange for money. In a few years.”
Tong Su frowned: "How much money can six acres of land be sold for? What will you do if you spend all the money?"
"Your brother has just passed the county and government exams. He is only one college exam away from becoming a scholar. If you pass the exam, each person will be given one liter of rice per day, and then you will have an income."
Tong Su was startled, then remembered that the original owner's brother had been studying and was preparing to take the imperial examination.
She thought about it and suddenly smiled.
Actually, this is also a good idea.
She had thought before that if she replaced her brother, how would the family's income come from? Is she going to start a business
Now that I remember that my brother’s books are still there, why not take the exam for him as a scholar
Emperor Yan attached great importance to the imperial examination and stipulated that after being admitted as a scholar, "one liter of rice per person per day, fish, meat, salt and fermented meats are given by the official." This means that each person is given one liter of rice per day, about 2 kilograms, which is just enough for two people. Grease and salt the fish.
The saying that a poor scholar is a poor scholar is actually not accurate. As long as he can pass the exam, he will be respected by others. In addition to the state's public rations, he can also open his own private school, write letters and couplets for others, and copy and write articles. In fact, his income is quite a lot.
Before taking the scholar examination, there were three levels of examination: county examination, government examination, and college examination. If you have passed them all, you will be a scholar.
Now Xia Qingzhai has passed the first two exams. He is a child student, and he is a young and promising child student. If he were not too young, he would be qualified to open a private school in the countryside!
It has been three months since Xia's father passed away. Now the law stipulates that the period of filial piety must be twenty-seven months, during which one is not allowed to take exams. It is now November of the fourteenth year of Xinglong.
She waited for her filial piety in March of the seventeenth year of Xinglong's reign, and the next college examination happened to be in August of the seventeenth year of Xinglong's reign. In the meantime, she could study for two years and five months.
Tong Su was very thoughtful and didn't show it on her face. She just continued chatting with her mother about the past: "Mom, what kind of official was my father back then?"
"Your father made several meritorious deeds during the war. He should have been granted the title of filial piety in March of the seventeenth year of Xinglong. The next college examination happened to be in August of the seventeenth year of Xinglong. The total time was two years and five months. , can let her learn.
Tong Su was very thoughtful and didn't show it on her face. She just continued chatting with her mother about the past: "Mom, what kind of official was my father back then?"
"Your father made several meritorious deeds during the war, and later became a general, a seventh-grade military attaché, with a salary of fifty taels of silver a year."
Jin Wenting felt more and more strange. He was a centurion more than ten years ago and had made meritorious service. Why was he only the seventh-rank commander
He felt strange, and Tong Su also felt something was wrong, and chased after Yang Mu to ask. Yang Mu finally sighed and shook her head.
"Actually, according to your father's military achievements, the person who should be named Qianzong is the sixth rank. But he offended someone. That person has relatives in Beijing and is a popular person in front of Prince Heng! How dare he offend the people below? I didn’t just interfere with it, fell down one rank, and became the commander-in-chief of the seventh rank.”
"Prince Heng?"
Prince Heng? !
Jin Wenting was in a state of panic.
Prince Heng, isn't he the one
The popular man in front of him uses his power to bully others, suppress heroes, and hinder officials
What bastard did this? Are you tired of living and looking for death? He had never discovered that if this person could do it once, he could do it two or three times.
Even behind his back, I don’t know how many unscrupulous things I have done, and they are all in his name!
