Chapter 72

"Well, it's not that I have to take the Wenjing examination, but the Wujing, I don't know anything; if I test the Mingjing, I can only be a small official." Wen Dao spread his hands to express his helplessness.

It turns out that although Wen Jing and Wu Jing are difficult to test, they are the most orthodox promotion channels, and their prospects are far better than Ming Jing.

Whether it is Wen Jing, Wu Jing, or Ming Jing, all candidates who pass the county examination are called Wen (Wu, Ming) students.

Becoming a Wen (Wu, Ming) student is only the first step, and the next step is to take the government examination, and those who pass the government examination are called Wen (Wu, Ming) students, and at the same time obtain the qualification to enter the government school for further study.

In the second year after becoming a civil (wu, Ming) person, you can participate in the examination hosted by the Imperial College.If you pass the general examination, you will be called a civil (wu, Ming) scholar, and you can enter the Guozijian for further study. Each civil (wu, Ming) scholar semester is two years, and you can be appointed as an official after passing the examination.

What if you fail the examination?
Hey, the scholars who can be admitted to the Imperial College have two talents, or they are related to the party, basically no one will fail the examination; if there is a real failure, they can stay in school for two years as appropriate, and if they fail, they will be sent back to the government school.

Although all candidates need to pass three tests before they can be appointed as officials, the grade of the assigned official rank and the room for future promotion are quite different.

Civilian (warrior) warriors start off as small officials of the ninth rank, and some excellent affiliated parties even start as the magistrates of the seventh rank. If they go up, they can become officials of the first rank. Naturally, they are the candidates' favorites.

Mingshi is not the case. Most officials can only be limited to the fifth rank or below the sixth rank. For example, students who take medical examinations, the end of their promotion is the Imperial Hospital, and the highest official of the Imperial Hospital - the envoy is the fifth rank.

Most of the doctors can only get the post of medical professors from the ninth rank, and some can only be unranked niche students. They spend their qualifications and wait in line day after day, and even can only stop at the seventh rank or lower.

If there is no comparison, there will be no harm. How can a civil (warrior) warrior start at the seventh rank, but a wise man can only cap at the seventh rank.

Even the national teacher who does not do anything serious and governs the Taoist temples in the world has earned a second-rank grade. The decline and lack of market for Mingjing are obvious things.

No wonder, candidates all over the world love to squeeze the single-plank bridge of Wen (Wu) Jing. After all, although only a few people can climb the peak, a lofty ideal and ambition is still very attractive.

However, no matter how rubbish the Mingjing is, it is better than digging grain in the soil, because scholars from any department can eat imperial grain, and they are exempted from corvee.

Then, candidates who have failed in the literary (wu) classics year after year can only choose Mingjing due to helplessness.

And because there are so many failed candidates, and the room leaked in the rain all night, Shengsheng raised the difficulty of the Mingjing several times, and the introspection was unnecessary. This cannot but be said to be the tragedy of the failed candidates.

Originally, Wen Dao was ready to switch to Mingjing, but there was an unexpected situation, his parents died suddenly, and the problem of food and clothing could not be solved. How could he still take care of Mingjing, so he had to go back home to farm.

Now, the brothers and sisters of the Wen family suddenly got a huge sum of money, and it is expected that the income will continue to flow in the future, so is it necessary for Wen Dao to work in farming?
From Wen Xiang's point of view, since the problem of food and clothing has been solved, food and clothing should be put on the agenda.

"Since Wen Jing is sad, let's just test Ming Jing." Wen Xiang thought to himself, although the Ming Jing has reached the end of the seventh grade, but we have activities, how can we go up a few steps? !
"I'm afraid I can't even pass the Mingjing test." Wen Dao was completely lost in confidence.

"Of course we can't study things, numerology, medicine, and punishment. We can always take tests in agriculture, arts and science, law, and history."

"I never learned that."

"That's right, start from the beginning."

"Let me think about it again. In fact, I think farming is pretty good. Haven't we all doubled our harvest?"

Wen Xiang was speechless -_-||: "Brother, did you lie flat?"

"What do you mean?"

"It means that if a person does not have a dream, what is the difference from a salted fish? The rise and fall of a country is the responsibility of everyone. As an aspiring young man, how can he not rise up to serve the court! The so-called learning and excellence is to be an official, naturally it is to learn martial arts , Goods and the Emperor’s House.”

Wen Dao felt ashamed, his ideological level was far lower than that of his younger sister, ashamed, ashamed: "You are right, alas, it's just that big brother is stupid."

"You haven't taken the exam yet, so how do you know that you are not good? You have to take it out for a walk to find out whether it is a mule or a horse. Besides, if we have no background, we will be KO'd every minute. Take today As far as the department store is concerned, in fact, we have to sell it if we sell it, or we have to sell it if we don’t sell it.”

Hearing what Wen Xiang said, Wen Dao felt quite touched in his heart, he hesitated and said, "Then, why don't you just give it a try?"

"That's it. After the new year, my eldest brother will go to a private school to attend classes, and try to start the exam next year."

"What about spring plowing?"

"Let's just rent out our fields to other people to cultivate them."

"Well, no, in that case our income will be much less. It's better to take care of the fields first, and I will go to study in my free time."

"Hey, big brother, how can you do better than others if you are so unprofessional?"

"That's better than nothing in the end." Wen Dao still feels that he can't give up the field, and study together with the field. In this way, he can advance, attack, retreat, and defend.

"Alas—" Wen Xiang sighed even more soul-stirringly, despairing of the elder brother who didn't want to make progress.

No matter how much Wen Xiang howls this time, Wen Dao is unmoved, because he knows that he is not material for studying, and he will never let go of this field.

There is no way, after all, they are people from two different worlds, and their ideological realm and life pursuits are separated by several time axes. It is indeed difficult to maintain consistency, and differences are inevitable.

Wen Xiang had no choice but to temporarily accept his elder brother's lying behavior: "Then, how much silver do we need to set aside for studying expenses?"

"In the private school I used to study, the tuition for a semester was five taels of silver."

"Brother, the private school you study in is not good enough, is there a better private school?"

"The best private school in the county is Lizhang Academy. I heard that the lecturers there are all civil (wu, Ming) people who have passed the exam. The fees are very expensive, 20 taels of silver a semester."

"Just go to this Lizhang Academy."

"Uh... Lizhang Academy is not for everyone, it's full of children from rich and powerful families."

"Then we are rich now?"

"I heard that you have to be recommended by someone before you can go in." Wen Dao gave Wen Xiang another blow.

"Then besides Lizhang Academy, are there any other better academies?" Wen Xiang asked for the second best.

"Wenxin private school is also good. It charges eight taels of silver. This one doesn't need a recommendation, just go and sign up."

"Let's go to that Wenxin Private School for now. Let's reserve 100 taels of silver, which should be enough."

"Enough, enough, more than enough."

"There are 400 taels left. I plan to buy a shop in Chengnan County. What do you think?"

"Buying a shop? Shouldn't it be buying a field?"

Wen Xiang was stunned: Brother really never forgets to plow the field, isn't four mu of land enough for you to plow?Want to buy land?
"Hey, big brother, I'm afraid he doesn't have enough money to buy a shop and a land. Otherwise, let's buy the land next time."

"Oh——, okay." Wen Dao felt melancholy: he felt that it would be safer to buy land, and the shop and the like felt unorthodox, and besides, they didn't know how to run it.

However, the money was earned by the girl, so he was not good at demanding it. After thinking about it, he still blamed himself for his incompetence, and asked for a lot of soft food.

So, I vowed in my heart that I must study hard this time, strive to pass the exam as soon as possible, become a seventh-rank official, and be able to stand up straight when talking at home.

Hey, it's hard to describe Comrade Wen Dao's pursuit.
