Chapter 49

Tongsheng can only be regarded as qualified to participate in the official imperial examination? After that, Xiu Cai selected the best from Tong Sheng? Then the jury is selected from the talents? Only people who are talented are qualified to be officials, and they have to spend thousands of taels of silver in donations?

Where can peasant families get thousands of taels of silver? !

If you can't get it, you have to continue to take the exam, but if you take the exam, the competition will only increase...

Can a person who has even taken the Tongsheng exam twice and has not passed it really go that far? Some people have taken the test all their lives but they are just children...

Lin Dachui and Mrs. Lin couldn't listen to what happened next.

The fifth of their family can become an official in the future, and then their dream of honoring them was shattered.

The rest of the Lin family were also shocked, and even felt that Lin Yuanshan wasted the family's money.

After talking for a full quarter of an hour, Zheng Yongzi finished talking about the situation of Dushulang's entry into office.

Lin Yuanshan stood there, with a huge sense of shame that made him want to find a hole to burrow in and hide.

The villagers have learned a lot.

After knowing that it is so difficult to become an official by studying, they have come up with the idea that studying is expensive but useless.

Lin Xiaoyue thanked Zheng Yongzi before letting Zheng Yongzi leave.

Hearing the villagers' discussion, he opened his mouth and said to the crowd: "Actually, reading is not just for being an official. Reading can gain insight and broaden your horizons. To be realistic, let's take life as an example. If you can read and read, you can also do something easy to earn money. Work. Don’t think that it is hard to study and work in a job without value.”

"Yeah, if you can read and write, you can be an easy guy in town. If you can't read, you can only work hard like my family." A woman said.

"A coolie who doesn't know how to read may be tricked by someone because of his poor arithmetic!"

"Yeah, it seems that reading is still necessary..."

The village chief looked at Lin Xiaoyue with admiration in his eyes.

"In addition, although scholars can only be qualified as officials if they pass the examination, it will be beneficial if they pass the examination." The village chief said to the villagers.

"What's the benefit, village chief?" someone asked.

"First, exempt from corvé service in the household. That is, if there is a scholar in a family, two people in the same household can be exempted from corvée."
