MTL - Hot Farmer’s Wife: Buying a Husband for the Farm

   Chapter 49 49 Read well

  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...

   A person who has even passed the Tongsheng exam twice, can he really go that far? Some people have taken the test all their lives but they are just children...

After   , Lin Dachui and Mrs. Lin couldn't listen anymore.

  The fifth of their family can become an official later, 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, his huge sense of shame made him want to find a hole to burrow in and hide.

  The villagers have gained insight.

   Knowing how difficult it is to become an official by studying, one after another came up with the idea that studying is expensive but useless.

   Lin Xiaoyue thanked Zheng Yongzi before letting Zheng Yongzi leave.

Hearing the discussion of the villagers, he opened his mouth and said to everyone: "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 go to town and be an easy guy. If you don't know how to read, you can only work hard like my family." A woman said.

   "A coolie who can't read and write may be tricked by others because of poor arithmetic!" And there is humanity.

   "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 to be officials if they pass the examination. But if they pass the examination, it will also be beneficial." The village chief said to the villagers.

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

   "First, exempt from corvee service for two people in the household. That is, if there is a scholar in a family, two people in the same household registration can be exempted from corvage labor."

   "Second, legal treatment. When you become a scholar, you don't have to kneel when you see an official, and you can't use punishment when trying a case."

   "Third, grain exemption. Under the name of Xiucai, the grain tax for 20 mu of land can be exempted."

   As soon as these words came out, the villagers immediately began to discuss. Especially when I heard that being admitted to a scholar can be exempted from the family's food service. This can save a lot of money for farmers.

   As a result, many people have more ideas about sending their children to school.

  Lin Xiaoyue saw that the villagers had no longer misunderstood reading, so she looked at Lin Dachui again.

   "Master, do you still think that only letting the fifth uncle go to school alone is the same as letting all the children in the family go to school?"

   As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Lin Dachui.

   In particular, several sons and grandsons of the Lin family also looked at Lin Dachui.

   It’s good to go to school, even if you can’t be an official. Possibly read and hyphenate, and make a living easier in the future. If you are good at learning, you can also open a school to be a master if you are admitted to the scholar, not to mention the exemption of grain tax.

  My father and mother (grandmother) were partial to the fifth brother (fifth uncle), and spent all the money in the family on the fifth brother (fifth uncle), betting that he could pass the test and become an official later.

   As Yongzi said just now, after Tongsheng has passed the exam, there will be scholars, and after scholars, there will be juren, and after juren, there will be exams.

  The fifth brother (fifth uncle) is a boy who has not even passed the test twice. Is it possible to pass the test? Even if there is, how many years will it have to wait?
