Hong Dashou was in coma for only a short night, but he still didn't want to wake up. When he opened his eyes today, he was the only one left in the room.

"Probably because I'm afraid that if I suddenly get sick and die here, I'll get involved in a lawsuit." Hong Dashou thought this way.

But that's fine, no one will bother him. Hong Dashou can sort out his thoughts and let others think that he is crazy and dying.

The original owner of Hong Dashou is indeed a yangban, which is more real than real gold. However, he is a yangban household donated by Nanami two hundred years ago. To put it bluntly, he bought it.

By the way, this year is the second year of King Wen'an and Wujing, the sixth year of Jiaqing in China, the thirteenth year of Kanzheng in Japan, the Xinyou year of the lunar calendar, and the one thousand eight hundred and one year of the Holy Son.

The king of Jinshang, Li Huan, is only twelve years old, but he has already married the daughter of Jin Zushun of the Andong Jin family. It is precisely because of Jinshang's wedding that the Joseon court held a separate examination [Note 1].

In addition, the Kim family, the step-concubine of King Yeongjo, King Jeongsoon, is now listening to politics from behind the curtain, and intends to use this time to "select" some talented people from the Kim family.

Let's go back and talk about how Hong Dashou's two squads came to be. Didn't Toyotomi Hideyoshi attack the dynasty more than 200 years ago? Within two months, the king of Joseon had already fled to Uiju, and the Eight Routes were in mourning.

Then the Ming Dynasty sent troops to rescue the country and asked the North Korean court to try its best to raise military supplies to supply the heavenly soldiers. But at that time, the North Korean court had nothing to offer and could not supply tens of thousands of Ming troops, so it opened Naco.

As long as you pay 200 dan of rice, you can become a double-class household. In a short time, good people are like crucian carp crossing the river. This greatly eases the financial pressure on the small court of North Korea and enriches the country's soldiers.

But, the consequences of this thing are a bit serious. Due to the massive loss of population in southern Korea, the household registration was reorganized after the war, and the household registration of yangban households accounted for more than one-third of the total household registration in the country at that time. Isn't this a joke, the aristocrats accounted for the population

One-third, the feudal country will definitely collapse.

But he is not afraid of the North Korean court. Their household registration system adopts the mother-in-law system. It is true that the male head of the household is a Yangban, but your wife must also be a Yangban noble, and the child born is considered a Yangban.

Otherwise, you will still be a good citizen!

And if you become a second class officer, you will have to work as a low-level military official. Congratulations on going to the front line and fighting the Japanese pirates. Kill them or bury them, whoever is more likely to die!

The plan of the small court of North Korea was good, it enriched the finances and strengthened the troops, and it was flattering, but in fact, it did not pay any price.

The once huge yangban households fell off a cliff in the next 20 to 30 years, reducing by three-fifths. After all, no yangban donated by nanometers had the chance to marry a yangban girl, so it could only be a flash in the pan.

.

However, Hong Dashou's ancestors were more powerful. They served as agents of the Great Tomorrow Soldiers. After going back and forth, they actually got involved with a senior colonel from the sixth grade. In addition, he was a wealthy farmer, and his family had more than 100 knots of fertile land [Note 2].

After successfully marrying a down-and-out Yangban girl, the children born from this can be regarded as continuing the Yangban identity.

In addition, Old Man Zhao was also a Yangban donated by his ancestor Nami. Therefore, he was laughed at by the two young people and looked down upon at the same time.

Those two young men are members of the serious Andong Jin clan, as far away as possible. Now that Jin Zuchun is in power, although they are already poor and poor, they have risen to heaven. They came to take the special test, and they will definitely pass the test.

It's absolutely fine to come out and be a small official first.

Naturally, Hong Dashou also came to take the exam, and because he was very good at learning Chinese characters, he took the exam in the miscellaneous subjects and translation subjects. Of course, it was also because he knew that the ordinary Jinshi subjects had already booked various big shots, so he took the exam.

The reason for not going up.

One more thing to mention, North Korea’s miscellaneous subjects allow good citizens and middle-class people to take the exam, so in theory ordinary people also have the opportunity to become officials. But let’s just laugh at the success rate. [Note 3]

The original owner, Hong Dashou, was very confident about the exam. After all, he spoke fluent Chinese and had read Chinese classics thoroughly. A mere translation exam would not be a problem for him. He even felt that he must be the first in the translation exam, without a doubt.

.

Ha! Too young and too simple!

This year's special examination is a fig leaf for the Andong Jin family to legally promote a clan of men into the imperial court on a large scale. Poor these scholars, they are stupid enough to take the examination. Seventy percent of the people in this preliminary examination have the surname Jin, and the remaining 20% ​​have the last name

Park [Note 4], the last 10% are the other two classes.

Hong Dashou was still figuring things out in his mind, but suddenly there was a noise outside.

Someone beat gongs and drums and shouted to announce the good news, and the sound got closer and closer.

There is no need to be imaginative, Hong Dashou just heard the word "jin" and he knew clearly that it must be the young brothers named Jin who passed the test.

Not long after, another team announced the good news, and the winner was still a "gold", no doubt about it.

Hong Dashou sneered in his heart, got up, and got dressed. He was about to open the door to see the faces of the Jin brothers, but he didn't expect someone outside to open the door. He stumbled and almost fell down.

Unexpectedly, by chance, I bowed down on my knees to the person who opened the door.

"Hey, how come you, surnamed Hong, are giving such a gift! Hahahahaha..." The person who opened the door was one of the Jin brothers.

Hong Da was so angry that he didn't dare to do anything except stand up without saying a word.

Beat up the Jinshi? Or Jin Jinshi. The second chapter of this novel is over, everyone should disperse.

This is how feudal society is. Those who commit crimes below are extremely disrespectful! They will be severely punished and even beaten to death!

Even if you are angry in your heart, you cannot show it. This is the feudal tradition! The tradition of cannibalism!

The Jin brothers laughed and went into the house to get their luggage, leaving a few Changping Tongbao behind with laughter.

"Take it and have a bowl of rice and soup as a reward."

Surrounded by a group of officials and a few followers, he left the hotel in an extremely arrogant manner.

Hong Dashou lowered his head and beat the ground in shame and anger, but saw Old Man Zhao moving slowly, crawling into the house, lifelessly wrapping up a thin luggage roll with straw. Then he crawled out like a zombie, amidst the curses from the store owner.

, took out the only money he had, and was kicked out.

Another middle-aged man also entered the room, saw Hong Dashou suppressing his blush, shook his head, sighed and packed up his baggage and left.

Where in the world don’t eat people?

[Note 1]: It has the same meaning as Enke in China, but it is different from the regular examination that is held every three years. Like China, it can be anything from the monarch’s wedding, important birthdays, or even the canonization of the crown prince, or the birth of a son by the princess.

Hold a trial.

[Note 2]: A knot of land refers to land that can produce twenty shi of rice, or other kinds of food equivalent to twenty shi of rice.

[Note 3]: There is a medical officer named Xu Lai in a Korean drama. He is a non-yangban household in the miscellaneous and medical departments. After passing the examination, he became a medical officer, obtained the status of a double-ban household, and married two people.

Class girl.
