How to survive in poverty: I use a simulator to farm

When Chen Feiyan heard this, she frowned and asked doubtfully: "Why is it so troublesome? And, what is joint guarantee?"

Chen Yixuan explained: "Participating in the imperial examination is not just something you want to take. We must show some identification. How to prove this identity? The court has a very clever idea."

"Any candidate who wants to take the subject examination must fill in basic information including name, place of origin, three generations of family background and his or her physical characteristics before the examination. Before the provincial examination, five people must sit in a co-insurance group, and students from the local government must have insurance. Candidates must have five Anyone who violates the rules will be punished if five of them sit together and be deposed by Lin Bao."

"You have to spend one or two cents to find someone to be your guarantor. ... It is impossible to take the exam this year. In the spring of next year, the government will have the prefectural and county exams. That is, the children's exam. This exam is held once a year. Only those who are admitted are called Passed the exam as a scholar."

When Chen Feiyan heard this, she immediately felt a pressure on her face.

She felt that it was not easy for people in ancient times to become scholars.

The threshold for studying in ancient times was high and the cost was high. She has heard before that some people study for a lifetime and are just children when they grow old. He can't even earn the reputation of being a scholar.

Moreover, the competition in ancient examinations was quite high.

It doesn't feel as "simple" as her taking the college entrance examination in modern society.

In ancient times, the examination for academic status and above should be similar to the examination for civil servants in modern society, right?

Maybe it’s even harder than taking the civil service exam.

"Daddy, have you ever asked how many scholars take the scholar examination every year?"

"How many talents will be admitted to the county next year?"

Chen Yixuan replied: "I asked my cousin last year and found out that our place is no better than the Jiangnan area. Jiangnan has been prosperous since ancient times and has a prosperous literary style. Many families with a little savings will provide their sons with education. Some can achieve a well-off life. The family will also let their daughters read in order to know the world. Therefore, there are an astonishing number of scholars there. And our place has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. The common people are exhausted in order to survive. Therefore, there are not many scholars. .”

"My cousin has estimated that only 1,800 people take part in the county examination here every year. Only about ten talents are admitted each time."

Chen Feiyan's eyes widened, with a look of surprise on her face: "Ah? Why are so few admitted? If a thousand scholars take the exam, but the county magistrate only admits ten, doesn't it mean that the scholars are only one in a hundred?"

Chen Yixuan nodded: "Sometimes, it's more than just choosing one from a hundred. My cousin told me that the year before last, those who wanted to be a scholar had to go to Fucheng to take the exam. At that time, there were more than a thousand scholars who took the exam..."

When Chen Feiyan heard this, she quickly calculated in her mind.

Only one student was admitted out of more than a hundred scholars. I feel that the difficulty of the exam is slightly more difficult than the civil servant exam in remote places in modern society.

Of course, the difficulty of this kind of exam is still incomparable with the exam in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Guangdong Province.

Chen Feiyan had seen big scenes before when she took the municipal examination in a place in Guangdong, which is the provincial capital in the heart of the Frank people.

Because her major was poor, she could only apply for three positions with no restrictions. There is only one person available for that position. More than two thousand people applied for that position. After the test results came out, Chen Feiyan was ranked in the hundreds...

When she thought that starting from today, the man in front of her would have to work hard to endorse, do simulation questions, and make various guesses like she did in the past, Chen Feiyan couldn't help but raise her hand and gently touch his arm. Patted gently.

"Daddy, I'm going to have to work hard on you from now on!"

Chen Yixuan shook his head: "Daughter-in-law, actually studying is not that hard."

"In this world, it's not easy for ordinary people like us at the bottom to live. Whether we are farmers, part-time workers, or long-term workers in landlords' homes, our lives are not easy."

"We have no power, and we can't make any money. It doesn't seem easy to have our own house to live in and a few acres of our own farmland."

When Chen Feiyan heard this, she thought of her previous life and her own life, and her eyes turned red.

Yes, how can it be so easy for ordinary people like them to live? Before time travel, she had a hard time finding a job outside. After finding a job, it was still hard work.

The salary of two or three yuan a month was all the money she earned through enduring a lot of anger.

After working to a certain age, she has to worry all the time whether she will be optimized by the company.

Every day she works, her nerves are tense.

Of course, after traveling through time, Chen Feiyan found that her situation seemed to have become even worse.

In any case, in modern society, she doesn't have to worry about starving to death and freezing to death on the streets.

But after traveling to ancient times, she has to worry about her life and property safety, how to raise her children, what to do when she gets old... these survival issues.

Chen Feiyan knew in her heart that when she came into this world, "living" was her first priority.

The prerequisite for living is to have a healthy body.

In ancient times, people with unhealthy bodies, or people with physical disabilities, had a difficulty of living a hundred or even a thousand times higher than normal people.

Unless these unhealthy people grow up in a loving family, and their parents consciously teach, care for, and nurture them, they will be able to grow up safely. Even live to old age.

Chen Feiyan wants her husband to be admitted as a scholar. One of the most pressing reasons is that her children are too worrying.

As parents, they must support these children. Otherwise, whether these children can survive is a question.

Thinking of this matter again, Chen Feiyan began to worry again.

How can my husband pass the exam in one go?

Chen Feiyan had also gone through high-intensity question-answering tactics before, so she immediately washed her hands and carefully took one of Chen Yixuan's treasured books into her hands to read.

Chen Feiyan felt a little overwhelmed when she discovered that the book was densely packed both in layout and line spacing.

She felt dizzy after staring at such a layout for so long. I don’t know how people who read with it every day can stand it...

"My dear father, you know that I know the words now. You have memorized it for so many days, and I will help you check and fill in the gaps. I will extract a few sentences to see if you can connect the previous sentence and think of the next sentence."

Without waiting for Chen Yixuan's reaction, Chen Feiyan stared at a few lines and recited: "Lightness is the root, tranquility is the impatience..."

She had just finished reading it, and she subconsciously frowned.

It seems like she never learned this book when she was in junior high school or high school?

Chen Feiyan closed the book and glanced at the inside of the book. She didn't see the title of the book, so she quickly turned to the first page.

Chen Feiyan was surprised when she saw "Tao Te Ching" marked at the beginning.

"Daddy, is this "Tao Te Ching" a required subject for scholars?"

Chen Yixuan nodded: "Of course."

"Books such as the Zhouyi, the Book of Changes, the Tao Te Ching, Zhuangzi, Guiguzi, and the Book of Songs are often involved in any imperial examination."
