The doctor finally left with regret, and he couldn't do anything about the boy's mother's illness.

"Mother. After the doctor left, the boy turned his head slightly and looked at his mother lying on the wooden bed.

The mother was not yet forty years old, but she was already gray-haired, and the frown on her face looked like a sixty-year-old woman who had fallen asleep.

"I'm useless......"

The boy can't wait to look up to the sky and sigh!

Useless is a scholar.

He also wanted to learn martial arts.

However, the cost of practicing martial arts was too high, and it was not affordable for ordinary people at all, so in the end, he chose to study.

Although it is difficult to get ahead in reading, if you are literate and knowledgeable, you will be able to eat a bite of food in the future.

It's just that now his mother is lying on a wooden bed, sick and weak, according to the doctor, if he can't go to the town and the county seat, then his mother is probably ......

Relying on drugs, you can only last for the next month.

As for going to the county seat......

The boy couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The county seat was too far away from him.

Make your way to town......

The boy still smiled wryly.

Even if there is Lang Zhong in the town who treats his mother, I'm afraid I can't afford the medical expenses.

To heal his mother's illness, the family's savings were only a few taels of silver, a few taels of silver, and outside, it was only the money for a meal.

"God, why are you so unjust. ”

"What the hell am I doing wrong?"

"Mother, the child is useless!"

The teenager blamed himself deeply.

"Yang Shun, Yang Shun, good news, good news, good news......"

Just when the young man was deeply remorseful, a loud voice came from outside.

Hearing this voice, the young man frowned, and walked out of the hut with a gloomy face.

Outside the hut, he saw a little fat man also wearing a robe.

Compared to him, the little fat man's condition looks much better than his.

"What are you doing so loudly, don't you know my mother is resting?" the young man rebuked in a deep voice.

The little fat man smiled awkwardly and said, "Mistake, mistake, I'm too excited." ”

"What the hell is going on?" the boy frowned and asked directly.

"Yang Shun, good news, good news. The little fat man said excitedly.

"What good news. Yang Shun's face was expressionless, his mother was sick and in danger, and he couldn't be happy about any good things.

"The imperial examination, the imperial court has opened the imperial examination, and any student can participate. The little fat man was very excited.

"Imperial examination?" Yang Shun looked puzzled.

"The imperial examination is an examination, as long as we pass the layers of assessments, we can also enter the court as officials. The little fat man said very passionately.

Yang Shun smiled faintly and said, "This imperial examination is not that simple, right?"

"Of course, this imperial examination, meritocracy, anyone who dares to cheat, the national law must be punished, the people of Dongchang have rushed to the various examination rooms one after another, Dongchang knows no, and arrested more than half of the country's officials Dongchang. The little fat man said very seriously.

"Yes. Yang Shun nodded, "If it is really Dongchang, then this time the imperial examination is fair, but if you want to enter the court as an official, I'm afraid it's not as simple as an exam, right?"

"That's for sure. The little fat man explained again, "This time the imperial examination is divided into four thresholds, the first is the town examination, the second is the county examination, and the third is the city examination. ”

The more the little fat man spoke, the more excited he became.

Yang Shun frowned, he was still calm, and said, "Do you think we have hope to be officials?"

The little fat man disagreed, and said: "Of course we can't be officials, we don't know how many things we have in our stomachs, but we can take the town exam, with our talents, we will definitely pass, even if we fail in the county exam, then we have it, and the child is famous, and the next time we take the exam, we can take the county exam directly." The little fat man explained.

"Tong Sheng, so what?" Yang Shun frowned, his current mind was not on this at all, so he didn't ask so seriously.

"This is the good news I told you, Lord Chen Gong was ordered to convey His Majesty's holy decree, students under the age of 30 can participate in the imperial examination, the first examination, the town examination, once passed, you can get the fame of children, the second examination, the county examination, once passed, you can get the fame of Xiucai, the third exam, the city exam, once passed, you can get the fame of lifting people, the fourth exam is even more powerful, the fourth exam, up to 3,000 people, after these people come out, it is the fame of the Jinshi, no accident, you can be an official, the first, the second, the third year, it is also more powerful, you can be the champion, the eye, the flower, the whole country, famous all over the world。 The little fat man said very seriously.

"Hmm. Yang Shun replied lightly, and then asked, "What is the use of this fame?"

"It's very useful, for example, if we can pass the town exam, then we are children, even if we can't pass the county exam in the future, it is much easier to find something to do than those who are white, and the most important thing is that children have five taels of silver a month. The little fat man's eyes were extremely bright, and it was obvious that he had taken a fancy to the five taels of silver.

Five taels of silver is nothing to the rich, but to the poor, it is equivalent to a huge amount of money.

One tael of silver is equal to ten taels of silver, and five taels is fifty taels of silver.

Ordinary people, a family of five, the normal cost of a month is about five taels of silver.

At this moment, within Xiao Guo, no math students have begun to prepare for the exam.

"Five taels of silver?" Yang Shun's eyes lit up quickly when he heard this.

"When will the exam start, and how long will it take to release the list after the exam is over?" Yang Shun was also a little excited at this time.

If he can pass the Tongsheng examination, he will be able to get a monthly salary of five taels of silver, and there is hope for his mother's illness.

"Three days later, two days after the exam, the exam is over, and the results will be released seven days later. The little fat man said.

"Okay, I'm going to start going to town tomorrow today, and this time, I'm going to win a child's fame. Yang Shun said with confidence.

Tongsheng, Xiucai, Renren, and Jinshi These systems were naturally thought up by Xiao Chen.

He didn't understand this, but he had heard it, and as soon as he said it to Chen Gong, Chen Gong immediately ignored it.

It is precisely because of this that there is the scene that the little fat man said.

Of course, these systems have not yet been thoroughly perfected, but they are enough to deal with the current situation in Xiao Guo.

As for when these systems will be improved, Xiao Chen believes that with the continuous summoning and the emergence of various talents, the process of improving the system will also be accelerated.

While Chen Gong was preparing for the exam questions with all his might, he was at the same time obeying Xiao Chen's call at any time.

At the beginning, Chen Gong was also curious about why His Majesty didn't let those officials in the imperial court interfere in the matter of the imperial examination papers.

Later, after Chen Gong saw those officials, he was also completely disappointed, and those officials really had no ability at all.

As for the two officials who were only of little use, Huang Kai and Liu Haibei, they did not meet the requirements for participating in the imperial examination papers.

If it weren't for the fact that the imperial court still needed these officials to maintain the operation of Xiao Guo, I am afraid that these officials would be sent back to their hometowns to recuperate at night.
