Chapter 71 Shi Linsheng's Suggestion (Please recommend a ticket)
"I think, why don't I think about it, I dream about it." Gao Wen murmured, "But I don't want to risk my life for this matter. It's not a pity for Gao Wen to die, but if I die, I will leave my old lady alone Living alone on this matter, how can I bear it? Besides, the household registration yellow book and fish scale book of my court are perfect. If someone is interested in looking into it, they will not be able to hide it."

"You little bastard, you're still a member of the public family, and you can't even see through this matter." Shi Linsheng sneered, "It's just two albums, so why change the name? Don't say you're a small man, even Even the name of a student from the prefecture dares to give up. As long as there is enough money, it is not easy. Besides, your family has been moved to Hancheng for three generations, and who remembers what happened decades ago."

Shi Linsheng's mention of the students' names in the Dingfu Mansion was also a unique phenomenon in the Ming Dynasty, especially in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, where culture and education flourished.Because there are too many famous scholars, everyone wants to take the imperial examination to become an official, but the number of admissions by the imperial court is limited every year.Therefore, in many cases, before the official imperial examination, the local government needs to take an additional test, so that Chinese can go to the provincial capital to participate in the rural examination.As a result, many well-educated scholars were brushed down by this level alive.

But if you are a government student, you don't need to take the pre-examination, you can directly enter the examination room.Thus, this gave birth to the phenomenon of impostors.In other words, you can spend money to buy a quota from the government students, and the country will not hold it accountable.Of course, there is no way to pursue it.

As for why this is so, it is because scholars can only have a student status and establish a file after they are admitted to the scholar.If it is possible to impersonate someone from the moment the file is created, the country will have no way of investigating it.Anyway, when filling out the file, you are the one who writes. You can fill in all your information, even change your name to yourself. At most, you can write a sentence on it: "The name of the list is X." Also called borrowing a surname.

This phenomenon caused many celebrities in the Ming and Qing Dynasties to have their surnames. For example, the surname of the great writer Jin Shengtan was Zhang, and for example, the surname of Xu Baoguang, a native of Changzhou, Suzhou, edited by the Imperial Academy in the Kangxi year of the Qing Dynasty was Pan.

During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, a Suzhou scholar was poor and had no money to bury his father after his death, so he sold his student's place to others and exchanged money for money to buy a cemetery to bury the coffin that had not been buried at home for a long time.It can be seen that there is a lot of money to buy a place.

Of course, this can only happen in culturally developed provinces like Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi.In Shaanxi, because it is a remote and poor province, some places are not even satisfied with their names in the imperial examination every time.If you can go to the exam, the magistrate will call you Amitabha, let alone borrow your surname to take the imperial examination?
It can be seen from this that in the Ming Dynasty, when there were no ID cards and no photos, the seemingly strict household registration files were actually leaks from all sides, and there were flaws everywhere.

Gao Wen studied Chinese studies and history in his previous life, and immediately remembered this, and murmured: "Mr. Thousands of taels of wealth, a lot of money thrown out, there is nothing that can't be done.Changing the household registration is not just a matter of smearing a few strokes on the household registration yellow book.

"Don't say it's easy, can you do it with a small yamen servant? You can't find the temple door with a pig's head in your hand." Shi Linsheng said coldly: "This matter is not big, but it is not small. Small. First of all, you have to know people. Let me ask you, do you know anyone important in your hometown?"

Gao Wen: "I really don't know him."

Shi Linsheng took a sip of hot tea and said leisurely: "It's a coincidence that I really know the magistrate of Zhuanglang County in your hometown. That person was the same year as the old man, and he went to Xi'an Prefecture to study together. It's a pity, old lady He can't catch up with him in reading. He is a man who can read. He won the promotion and Jinshi in one go. It's been many years, and I'm still a small Zheng Qipin. I was born in a very poor family, this old man..."

Gao Wen's eyes lit up: "The old man means to send a sum of money to Zhuanglang County magistrate, and say that I am a descendant of Fang Xiaoru's case, and then change back to good status?"

"Yes, that's right. My old man is very dull. He has been an official for many years, but he doesn't know how to make money. Seeing that he is about to retire, he is thinking about earning the last pension. He will give 2000 taels In the past, there should have been no problems. Besides, this change of household registration is in accordance with the system and requires the signature of the Minister of Rites. On his side, the magistrate of Zhuanglang County will send 2000 taels there, so it should not be a big problem." Shi Linsheng said so, and he thought so in his heart.

Old man Shi has been a student of the government for decades, and he knows a lot of people on the scene, and the rules of the officialdom are clear.Generally speaking, each province will send a sum of money to the cabinet elders every year in the summer and eastern seasons, which are called Bingjing and Tanjing.Each transaction was 3000 taels of silver. It can be seen that silver in the Ming Dynasty was still very valuable, and 4000 taels of silver was a no-brainer for Gao Wen to change his household registration.

"Besides, didn't I tell you that my old man was a nerd when he came across a good article, just like an old gourmet who reads delicious food day and night. The article you wrote "Confucius sees Dongshan and Xiaolu" old man I have already sent someone to Zhuang Lang, and seeing such a good article and such a talent, if he accepts you as a student, he doesn't know how happy he will be? Gao Wen, tell me the truth, did you write that article?"

Gao Wen: "This matter is very important, why did I lie to you?"

"That's good, that's good, this is a juren, no, a Jinshi article! I didn't expect a talent like you to come out of my Hancheng. It's a pity that the culture of my Hancheng fell on you, a yamen servant? "Shi Linsheng became excited: "If you can change back to good status, you can take the county examination in Zhuanglang next month, the Pingliang government examination in May, and the courtyard examination in June. You can give this old man a scholar in one breath. Say no Well, Qiu Wei, you can fight for it too!"

Speaking of this, he laughed loudly: "If you win the Juren, and you win again in Chunwei next year, then you will be a Jinshi. Haha, the old man was kicked out of the government school and was ridiculed by the world. Now, the old man's son-in-law has won the prize. If I become a Jinshi, then I will become famous in one fell swoop. Think about my Shaanxi province, only a few Jinshi come out in three years. Haha, hehe, hehe, hehe, hehe, hehe, hehe, hehe, I will see what happened to those who humiliated me and harmed me in the past. What kind of face!"

The old man had already fallen into crazy imagination, and Gao Wen was also excited by the bright prospect he described, and his heart was burning.His heart was pounding, his body was covered in hot sweat, and he murmured: "Yeah, why didn't I think of this. I want the imperial examination, I want to be an official. No, I want to order Hanlin, and I want to be the court of my Ming Dynasty." Old... big man, wake up and take power in the world, and display your ambitions!"

However, is the old man Shi's words believable?
