Pastoral Trifles: The Poor Girl Turns Over

Chapter 720 Scholars and Juren 1
But nowadays, it is not very useful to just test for a scholar. Only after passing the provincial examination and enrolling in an imperial examination can one enter the official career.

When Song Fanhua was studying, the school would give some subsidies, but since the crown prince ascended the throne, even these subsidies have been revoked.
Nowadays, only the first-class grades of scholars can get the money and food distributed by the state. As the saying goes, a scholar who is useless is a scholar who fails to pass the exam and is looked down upon by others.
However, after being admitted to Juren, the situation will be very different. Not only can he be exempted from military service, but he can be accepted as an official after enrolling in the imperial examination. Even the title has changed, from a poor scholar to a master of Juren.

The Cheng family doesn't have to worry about making a living now, and they don't care about the money. At the beginning, the Chu family compensated, Cheng Huan earned, Xu Ruyun saved from selling rice noodles, and even took sheep from the Chu family. Years are no problem.

But Xu Ruyun still had a good talk with Cheng He, because that would save him from slave labor,
There has been no turmoil in the Hanxing Continent for the past ten years, and the countries are peaceful and prosperous. Although the rules of conscripts have not been abolished, because there are few places to employ people, it is enough to pay some money and pay taxes to replace them.

　 But now that taxes are increasing and dynasties are about to change, no one can guarantee what the future will be. It is better to take the exam and come back to exempt the province from suffering in the future.

Having studied books for decades, she seldom does farm work at home, and Xu Ruyun feels reluctant to ask Cheng He to serve, work or serve in the army.

Cheng Huan didn't know much about these things at first, but Cheng Huan only knew about the troubles of serving because of Xu Ruyun's grievances against the military service. Decades ago, there were families who moved because of the heavy military service. It can be seen that military service is not for the poor. Not an easy task.

The court is in turmoil, the prince is reckless and impulsive, and loves great achievements, and the emperor has been unconscious all the time, and the power has been left behind. There will inevitably be a battle between the prince and the ten princes. When the time comes, it will be the common people who will suffer. Cheng Huan thought it was inappropriate to really ask the eldest brother to serve as a soldier.

In my memory, the rural examination was held every three years in ancient times. Fortunately, the rural examination in Hanxing Mainland was once a year. Cheng Huan thought about it and decided to persuade Cheng He to take the provincial examination this year while he was at home.

To be disrespectful, if the emperor ascends to heaven, next year's provincial examination will be cancelled, and if turmoil arises, he will be unable to escape even if he wants to.

Cheng He had also thought about this problem a long time ago, but he was unsure, so he kept vacillating. After a few words of persuasion, Cheng Huan agreed and decided to try hard.

After talking with Cheng He, Cheng Huan became worried about Song Fanhua again. She also didn't want Song Fanhua to serve some kind of military service, but Song Fanhua's situation was obviously more troublesome than Cheng He's.

Because he is not even a scholar now. Cheng Huan never knew what kind of military service ancient men had to serve. He only knew that Korean men had to serve in the military. Forgive her ignorance, because she has never acted in TV dramas. It was even more distant for her.

If she knew, she would definitely persuade Song Fanhua to take the exam first before returning.

Cheng Huan sighed and said, "Fortunately, my brother passed the examination for scholar. If Brother Fanhua has been studying hard, it must not be difficult to pass the exam!"

Thinking back to when they first met, Cheng He said that Song Fanhua was the number one scholar, but this is still the case now.
