Chapter 28 Imperial Examination

Now that Chu Qiguang has reached the first level of martial arts, then as long as he has Wang Chengwang's recommendation, he can enter the Yinglue Pavilion.

"However, it's not good to directly ask Wang Chengwang to arrange me to enter the Yinglue Pavilion. It's easy to show timidity and make him doubt my status as a master. It's best to use Wang Cailiang."

At the same time, Chu Qiguang recalled the process of the imperial examination in the Han Dynasty.

The imperial examinations of the Han Dynasty were divided into three major examinations, whether it was liberal arts or martial arts.

The first exam is called Tongshi. Those who pass the exam are called Xiucai in liberal arts and Wusheng in martial arts.

After this step, it is regarded as being registered in the imperial court and possessing a staff, so you can see officials without kneeling, and you can't be punished when you are tried.Moreover, they will receive rice support from the imperial court every month, and they can also enter the government school for further study.

Chu Qiguang thought to himself: "When a big man reaches the level of a scholar or a martial artist, he can even talk to the Wang family on an equal footing. Basically, if you sell 1000 Ergou, you won't be able to get a scholar."

The second exam is called the township exam, and those who pass the exam are called Wen Juren in the liberal arts and Wu Juren in the martial arts.

The most important thing at this stage is to be able to exempt part of taxes and corvee.

Among them, Chinese Juren can also enter Taixue for further study, and Wu Juren can enter North and South Wuxue.Moreover, all county magistrates have seats, and if a crime is committed, even the county magistrate cannot be punished. It needs to be reported at all levels, from the county to the government and then up to the state level to be dealt with.

Chu Qiguang secretly said in his heart: "Juren in the Han Dynasty is already half an official. Only state-level...provincial-level officials who are almost equivalent to modern society can punish crimes. And if you are lucky and there is a vacancy, you can directly become the adjutant of the county magistrate. If you behave well and are lucky, you may even have a chance to become a county magistrate."

"If I am admitted to Wu Juren, the Wang family will come to curry favor with me, hoping to send the land in my name to avoid tax. If a county has a Juren, the magistrate of the county can be regarded as meritorious for enlightenment, and can be called a political achievement."

"If a scholar is worth 1000 Ergou, then Juren is worth at least 1 dogs."

Juren is very well-known in the county, he can already be called a celebrity in the county, and he is also the strongest person most ordinary people can see.

And the third exam at the next level is to be held in the capital of the Han Dynasty, Shenjing, and is divided into two parts: the general examination and the palace examination.

Once passed, you will be Wen Jinshi and Wu Jinshi, and you can really become an official.

At the stage of Jinshi, even the worst starting point can become a county magistrate, that is to say, the worst starting point for Jinshi is already the ideal that Juren dreams of.

"The Han Dynasty reached the stage of Jinshi. Even if you mess around casually, you can eventually become a magistrate Dangdang. In modern society, it is roughly equivalent to the secretary of a city. With a little stomping, the entire Qingyang County is in chaos. Big earthquake."

"If you know how to be an official, and if you can do better, you can even become the chief envoy or governor of a state before retirement, then you will be the ruler of a state, and it is even more important than the governor of a province and the secretary of a province in modern times. Come on. One sentence can drag the entire Wang family into exile."

"As for the central units above, the six ministries and nine ministers, and other real power positions at the national and deputy national levels, Jinshi is just an admission ticket."

"The value of a Jinshi starts at least 10 dogs."

Thinking of this, Chu Qiguang sighed and said: "Just relying on the exam, you can get a city-level, provincial-level, and even a slight possibility of national-level power. You can imagine that all the big families in the Han Dynasty People are so crazy about the imperial examination."

However, Chu Qiguang imagined that both those who studied literature and those who practiced martial arts could be civil servants, and he felt a little awkward and unaccustomed. After all, on the earth where he lived, most feudal dynasties valued civil servants over military affairs, and military generals rarely served as civil servants. position.

But after thinking about it, the martial arts in this world also need to obtain scriptures, and after entering Taixue and martial arts, the court will teach all kinds of knowledge needed to be an official.

In fact, most of the content in the imperial examination is not helpful for being an official. The knowledge of various document procedures, government order operation, and court system is either acquired by the official family from childhood, or can only be learned after they have achieved fame.

'It's like being able to take civil servant exams in liberal arts and science.But learning martial arts is more popular in this world. '

Thinking about it this way, Chu Qiguang felt relieved.

After recalling the situation of the imperial examination, Chu Qiguang returned to the question in front of him again.

"First of all, you must pass the children's examination to become a martial arts student. This requires meeting the two requirements of strength and qualification."

"In terms of strength...according to the comprehensive information obtained by Qiao Zhi and the Wang family, to pass the children's test of martial arts and become a martial arts student equivalent to a scholar, at least the strength of the third level of martial arts is required."

"As for the qualifications for the children's examination, it has been monopolized by the gentry and eunuchs in the county. So I need to get their recommendation after I join the Yinglue Hall."

Chu Qiguang murmured: "Strength and qualifications..."

"Imperial examinations are held every three years. The most recent martial arts exam is in October this year. Now it is May, which means there are still five months to go."

Chu Qiguang squeezed his chin: "In these five months, I not only need to get support, get a place to participate in the children's test, but also need to break through to the third level of martial arts."

"Otherwise, we will have to wait another three years."

Thinking of this, Chu Qiguang frowned, another three years of hard life?Where did he wait for so long.

Chu Qiguang set a goal: "We must pass the martial arts examination in October this year."

Qiao Zhi said from the side: "The second level of martial arts is powerful, and the third level is full of energy. It takes five months to reach... even with your aptitude, it is a bit difficult. But fortunately, you never If the Wang family cheated a lot of money and used it all to buy Bailian Gao, there should still be a chance to reach the third realm."

Chu Qiguang's eyes flashed when he heard the words, and he seemed to have no intention of saying: "I don't plan to buy Bailian ointment for the remaining money."

"Don't buy medicine?" Qiao Zhi asked suspiciously, "Why?"

Chu Qiguang said: "I plan to bet all my wealth on it, buy food at the bottom, and sell it at a high price after the war."

Hearing this, Qiao Zhi hurriedly said: "Buying the bottom? Copying your bottom! You think this is the floor, but you don't know that there is a cellar under the floor, and there is a cave under the cellar!"

Chu Qiguang planned to test Qiao Zhi again, so he said: "Don't tell me that there is a bottom line. I am a reckless person in business. If I make money, I will be a maid and concubine. If I lose, I will find a landlord to cheat me. I am reckless." That's it."

"You!" Qiao Zhi just wanted to answer, but suddenly he held back, thinking to himself: "It's not good to talk too much...if it affects Chu Qiguang's development..."

'But it's not a big problem for Chu Qiguang to be affected for a while, right?If you don't say anything this time, can you watch him steal the bottom? '

Thinking of this, Qiao Zhi said bluntly: "Don't even try to buy the bottom, this battle can't be won."

Chu Qiguang said: "How to say?"

Qiao Zhi said: "The imperial court will make peace with the wolf clan, and finally open the trade market."

Chu Qiguang's eyes flashed when he heard the words: "It turned out to be a mutual market? Then...you can short the grain that is now priced up."

Qiao Zhi glanced at Chu Qiguang speechlessly: "I said, can you be more peaceful..."

Chu Qiguang shook his head self-consciously: "It still doesn't work. Behind the big merchants are the rich families of the county, and they are all guys with people in the court. They made short money, and I'm afraid they will spit it out the next day. "

Qiao Zhi quickly nodded in agreement: "Qingyang County is not an ordinary small county. There are many wealthy families in the county. They have produced various high-ranking officials such as governors, ministers, and imperial censors."

Chu Qiguang sighed: "We still have to find a way to get an official status quickly, otherwise we will be tied up in everything."

Qiao Zhi persuaded: "Yes, yes, yes, your primary goal now is to break into the second realm of Martial Dao, and make a breakthrough. To reach this realm, what you need is water and kung fu, relying on medicine supplements, food supplements, and martial arts cultivation. With the maintenance of the physical body bit by bit every day, pushing one's flesh and blood to a limit, this is the second level."

"If you want to cross this border within five months, the medicine cannot be stopped."

Chu Qiguang rubbed his chin and said: "But even if I use all the remaining 260 taels of shadow to buy Bailian ointment, and use it once a day, it can only be used for less than ten days, which is still too slow."
