Wei Xian vaguely became the center of people, and everyone suddenly became much more polite to their relatives such as Wei Xian's family and his uncle.

Wei Xian was helpless, indeed, people are so realistic, seeking profit and avoiding harm, being poor in the downtown area, and having distant relatives in the mountains.

Originally, Wei Xian's inn was a relatively rich category. Now Wei Xian is a disciple of Huashan. Although the Huashan Sect is far inferior to before, it is ultimately a big sect in the world. Tongguan is only 20 to 30 kilometers away from Huashan, which means that bandits or local braves and savages basically dare not bully them.

After all, if you bully others, you will die.

Fighting in the world, people's lives are like grass. The government cannot control them even if they don't want to, and they will be killed if they are killed.

This is also why many people try their best to send their children into schools to learn martial arts.

In the evening, Wei Xian and his family returned to Yuelai Inn in a donkey cart. Wei's father was full of red face. Today, Wei Xian gave him a lot of face and directly subdued Lin Ergou, turning the situation around, so that the wedding could go smoothly.

"Yin'er, you don't object to your father after learning martial arts, but you have to get a fame and a juren exam." Wei's father said with a red face.

"Dad, the boy knows." Wei Xian said with a faint smile.

"Tomorrow, you go to Lushan Academy with me to meet Mr. Chen. If he gives you an identity certificate, you can successfully participate in the college entrance examination." Wei's father said earnestly: "When Mr. Chen was young, he got a Juren's fame and opening Lushan Academy. Several Juren and two Jinshi were born. Even the scholar-officials were his students. He took the county exam next month, the government exam next month, and the college exam next month."

Lushan Academy is the most famous college in Tongguan. Mr. Chen, the dean of the college, is over 60 years old. He is highly respected in Tongguan. Even the first thing the county magistrate did when he took office was to visit Mr. Chen.

Wei Xian was helpless. Even if you were studying by yourself, it would not be easy to take the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty, because without an identity certificate, you would not be qualified to participate in the imperial examination.

On the second day, Wei Xian was dressed as a scholar and left with Wei's father and came to Lushan Academy. Wei's father lowered his posture and spent a lot of money to meet Mr. Chen. Mr. Chen's hair was gray and he was holding a book in his hand.

Afterwards, he took the exam for Wei Xian, which was basically the sentences from "The Analects of Confucius". Wei Xian responded smoothly, and Mr. Chen agreed to give Wei Xian a certificate. With this certificate, Wei Xian could take the college entrance examination.

The first pass of the college examination was the county examination held in Tongguan County. At this time, although Tongguan County was called Tongguan County or Tongguan Wei, the official name was Weinan County, which belonged to Xi'an Prefecture. Xi'an Prefecture is very large, with 15 counties, 1 sanzhou and 1 sanguan Hall.

Wei Xian moved into Lushan Academy and studied every day. He could also consult questions related to Master. Wei Xian also saw the characteristics of the examination in this era. For example, the content of the examination in this college was only the two essays of the "Four Books", one poem, one palace exam, and one college exam. The examination was the "Four Books" question, one "Primary School" discussion, and one poem.

The content of the exam, the format of answering, etc. are all full of normativeness and are absolutely not allowed to be freely used. Otherwise, no matter how good your literary talent is, you will be judged as unqualified.

This is the so-called eight-legged essay!

Wei Xian spent more than a month studying eight-legged essays and finally learned well. He participated in the county examination with other students of the academy. The county examination was held directly in the county, and the county magistrate served as the chief examiner.

It can be said that the Ming Dynasty attached great importance to the imperial examination.

Wei Xian entered the test and took the exam. There were four exams in total. When Wei Xian saw that the exam was not difficult, it was still very easy to answer.

However, this is also normal. Reading and literacy is not an easy task in this era. Although the civil servants in Daming have a high status and a prosperous literary style, only a few of them can afford to read. The college entrance examination is equivalent to the first hurdle of the imperial examination. It eliminates some people and selects students who are more literate and have good writing, so that they can continue their studies and take the provincial examination in the future.

So this county examination is only the first level of the college examination, so it will naturally not be too difficult.

Sure enough, on the day the exam results were released, Wei Xian saw his name among them.

After passing the county examination, Wei Xian found that Mr. Chen had a much better attitude towards him, and would also show some excellent articles for Wei Xian to read. He also became patient in explaining Wei Xian's usual advice.

Wei Xian was studying and practicing martial arts at the same time, and gradually ushered in the prefecture. The prefecture was held in Xi'an Prefecture and was chaired by the prefect. Those who could participate in the prefecture were all the children listed in the case of each county magistrate. However, there were only three prefecture exams, and the content of the exam was the same as the county exam, but they were re-planned by the prefect.

Wei Xian knew that this was actually equivalent to screening again and eliminating those who cheated in the county. After all, you have great ability in a county and can bribe the county magistrate, but when you come to the prefecture, you may not be able to make a fortune. After all, it is always a very small number of people who can get in touch with the prefect.

As long as you have real talent and knowledge, there is no problem with this provincial examination.

Wei Xian had a very relaxed response. When the results of the mansion test were announced, Wei Xian saw his name on the long case.

This means that if he passes the provincial examination, he only needs to pass the academic examination again, and he will be awarded the title of "scholar".

Once you obtain the reputation of "scholar", the government will issue rice every month, which is also a good deed of treating scholars in the Ming Dynasty.

Unfortunately, the facts have proved that the dynasty has raised scholars for three hundred years and has no death.

After passing the imperial examination, Wei Xian took the recommendation letter from Mr. Chen to attend the school official, that is, academic officials. He was able to serve as academic officials, and was generally the supervisor of the censor. The ministers of each department were appointed by the Jinshi. The term of office was three years and was sent by the emperor.

"Meet the academic government!" Wei Xian met the academic government successfully, "Chen Shizhou" and quickly said to him.

"I have read the letter from Master Lao. In the letter, Master Lao has such good words to you. It seems that you are a charming talent, but you must not let me down." Chen Shizhou encouraged.

"Students will definitely live up to what I hope!" Wei Xian said hurriedly.

Then Chen Shizhou talked to Wei Xian about some things about the prefecture examination. Each prefecture examination, there are only twenty people who can pass the prefecture examination. It can be said that scholars are the starting point for seeking fame and fortune. Only by obtaining scholars can one be qualified to participate in the higher-level provincial examination. Moreover, as long as one is a scholar, not only can one be exempted from the service and land tax, but it can also show the privilege of county officials not kneeling down.

If you get the fame of a scholar, you can also study in prefectures and counties to prepare for the provincial examination.

Of course, Chen Shizhou did not disclose the exam questions, but only pointed out the precautions needed for the examination, but this is very important. There are only twenty places, and there are too many monks and too little porridge. Who can get the quota? Chen Shizhou, the academic and political education, has great influence and decision-making power.

After all, there are more or less two brushes for those who can participate in the palace examination, and their levels will not be much different. At this time, the subjective initiative of the examiner is very important.
