Leisurely ancient daily life

Chapter 231 Imperial Examination
But Youran persuaded: "Aunt Shen, don't think too much, I think Kuan'er knows it well, since he said he can pass, he is sure, you should relax."

Leisurely knew what Shen Xia was worried about.

The scientific examination system here is also not easy. Originally, it was difficult for poor people to study.

It is not uncommon for some people to pass the exam until they are 50 or [-] years old, and some people will not pass the exam for a lifetime.

Compared with other people, Liang Kuan is more talented, and the Liang family can make money, and there is only this one child.

Since he was a child, he was raised and nurtured like a young master, and he himself strived for success.

I had a good teacher, and my grades were good. I passed the children's examination at a young age and became a child student.

But after all, he is only thirteen or fourteen years old this year, and he is still young, in case the exam is too difficult for him.

And Liang Kuan, who was full of confidence, was hit, and that would be quite heavy.

Moreover, it is not uncommon for some people to read crazy because they failed to pass the exam.

That's why Shen Xia was worried.

Hearing You Ran's words, Shen Xia also sighed when thinking of Liang Kuan's hard work in normal times, and then felt that sighing was too unlucky, so she hurriedly poohed a few times in her heart.

He forced a smile to Youran and said, "I hope so."

Leisurely smiled and said: "Don't worry if it's okay, Kuan'er knows it well."

Then he started to talk about the good things again, saying: "If Kuan'er has tried the college this time, he will go to the college in the city next time, right?"

Shen Xia heard You Ran's question, and said with a smile: "I don't know if I can pass the exam, but you are sweet."

Leisurely smiled and said: "I'm asking first, you must have plans."

Shen Xia nodded at this moment and said: "I have a plan. If I pass the exam this time, Kuan'er's teacher will send Kuan'er to the academy where his friend is, saying that the teachers there are all It’s very good, and I’ll study while I’m there, so I’ll be ready for the next government exam.”

Sure enough, this is the case, You Ran thought to herself, but going to that city must cost a lot, and if Shen Xia needs it, she can help a little.

Thinking in his heart, but his face remained calm, after leisurely listening, he just smiled and said: "Then this is really the best."

Since they had an appointment with someone, they didn't leave for the town until after noon, which would be too early.

The two immediately talked about this topic. During the period, Liang Erzhuang also came in to chat after taking care of the horses.

Because Liang Kuan was preparing to take the imperial examination, Shen Xia and Liang Erzhuang knew a lot about the imperial examination.

Youran was very curious about this, so she asked a lot, because Liang Kuan was going to take the exam in two days, and both of them were happy to talk about this topic.

Leisurely only heard them say that if the imperial examinations are required here, it starts from the children's examination, and the examination is also done in the town.

After Tong passed the examination, he became a Tongsheng, and then he went to the courtyard to take the examination for scholar, which was also taken in the town.

And being admitted as a scholar gave him some privileges, such as not having to kneel when meeting magistrates, not being beaten if he committed a crime, and being exempted from military service, and the fields under his personal name were not subject to grain tax.

After being selected as a scholar, it is tantamount to having fame, and in a real sense, having the qualifications to participate in the imperial examination.

If there is no accident, the scholar here takes the exam once a year, but the imperial examination is held every three years. There are three exams in total. Every time you pass an exam, your fame will naturally be higher.

The first round of the imperial examination is the government examination, and you have to go to the city to take the exam.

After winning the Juren, you will be an alternate official.

However, due to the small number of official positions to fill vacancies, and usually a large number of candidates, not every candidate can become an official.

But it's okay to use the privilege to make some money.

Just because the privileges of scholars are removed, Juren still has a fixed economic subsidy, and ten people can be exempted from military service and taxes, and even can sit on an equal footing with local officials after returning to their hometown.

The second round of the imperial examination is the general exam, and this time you have to take the exam in the capital. As for the time, it will usually be around July and August of the second year after the government exam.

Because the candidates come from all over the country and travel far away, they need time to go to Beijing, and this is also to leave time for them to adjust and prepare more for revision.

And after passing the exam, you will be a Gongshi.

The number of gongshi is only [-] in each imperial examination, but the privileges are comparable to those of Juren. The only thing they have is the qualification to participate in the next palace examination.

The last part of the imperial examination is the imperial examination.

The time is usually in the second month after the general examination, in the palace, and the examination will be conducted by the current emperor.

After passing the palace examination, the top three will be selected as Yijia Jinshi, respectively called No. [-] Scholar, No. [-], and Tanhua, and they can be directly awarded officials.

The rest are second-class and third-class Jinshi, who can continue to take the Imperial Academy examination and study for three years before becoming an official.

I listened leisurely with great interest, but I didn't expect that the imperial examination here is also a set, very strict.

As for whether the imperial examinations in the ancient times were the same as here, or if there were similarities, You Ran didn't know.

It's just that she didn't study it in her previous life, so she didn't understand it, but leisurely figured out the process of taking the imperial examination here.

In the future, if there is a baby in the family who wants to go this way, Youran will not be confused and understand nothing.

You Ran doesn't intend to interfere too much with her own next generation, including Lin Lang.

When they grow up, they will have their own ability to judge and have something they want to stick to.

Leisurely won't hinder them, it's all up to them to be happy, after all, it's their life, as long as they are willing and don't regret it.

So even if Youran doesn't want to get too complicated and participate in those official affairs, if they want to take the imperial examination, or run a business, etc., she won't interfere too much.

Still the above sentence, as long as they are happy and don't regret it.

But she still has to do what she should do, learn more about things, try to understand as much as possible, and be able to talk to them so that they can refer to them, and she can also help them when they need it.

But Youran won't help them too much, she doesn't want them to rely too much on her, she has experienced the end times, and she understands that the most reliable person in this world is herself, even if there are good people and noble people to help.

But in the end, the most reliable person is yourself, relying on trees will fall, relying on everyone will die, and people's hearts are also changeable.

So leisurely hopes that if she has children, they will be more independent.

Afterwards, leisurely chatting at Liang's house, sitting until noon, declined Liang Erzhuang's and Shen Xia's meal, and only said that she would go back to make lunch for Lin Hong.

Then I said a few words of blessing, and said that if they need help with something, don't hesitate to say it,
In the end, there really was, Shen Xia still awkwardly asked after a while if she could delay the shop's dividends for a while before giving it to You Ran.

It's just because Liang Kuan took the college exam, no matter if he passed it, he still had some entertainment, and he had to spend money to participate in poetry gatherings organized by literati, and to add new books and buy articles.

Leisurely smiled, she just wanted to delay the dividend, she thought it was a big deal.
