After the winter solstice, life has once again entered a step-by-step calm, and Fan Ming has been thinking about how to successfully pass the screening test at home these days.

Although it is said that he has leaked his face in front of Xuezheng and still leaves a feeling, he still has to see the real tricks in the exam.

It stands to reason that if it is an ordinary exam, although he has strengthened some knowledge in the past year, he really does not have any advantage compared to those who have grown up in a reading environment since childhood.

It is no wonder that Fan Ming was concerned about this screening, and he inquired carefully, according to the law of this dynasty, non-students are not allowed to participate in the scientific examination.

This participation in the county school is a necessary checkpoint to participate in the scientific examination, and it is also a measure to tilt the focus of the selection of materials to the cultivation aspect, although admission is not a difficult thing for ordinary readers, but it can be said to be a great event for Fan Ming.

There is another one, the number of places in the county school is limited, how many solid families want to send their sons to the county school, even if they don't read, even if they mix the fragrance of books, it is good.

For the scholars of this dynasty, entering the county school, state school, and Taixue is the best way to enter the office, in addition to the official attention, the other is to have access to the huge resources, social resources and cultural resources that are usually difficult to access.

Most of these people who came out of the county school will be the elite of the ruling class in the court or the local area in the future, and they can lay a good foundation at an early age, which can be said to have immeasurable benefits for future development, which also led to a large number of gentry sending their own children to the county school.

Most of the county schools are the children of the squires in the county, plus Chuqiu County is a rich county, and there are many children of the gentry.

Another reason is mainly because of the poverty in the family, Fan Ming has also thought about it for a long time, although he can barely survive in this small mountain village, but if he wants to buy something big, such as three blue brick houses, it will take at least ten years, which he can't bear.

In addition, he has also experienced the prosperity of later generations, and it is impossible to stay in the seclusion of this mountain village all the time, and the prosperity of Bianliang is the most prosperous in this era.

And through the way of further education is the best means for carp to leap into the dragon gate in this era.

After all, there is still a period of time in the days of the audition, and Fan Ming is still a little panicked during this time, in addition to constantly reviewing his homework, he is grinding Chen Siliang every day to ask about the business gang, after all, the scientific examination cannot fill his stomach, he is not like other squire children, the family has the conditions for them to study part-time, and they have to find a way to make money.

Chen Siliang didn't know much, but he also inquired a lot of things from it, and the outflow of the merchant gang was all because of a major event in the county in the past two years, as if it was all due to his family's confiscation.

Fan Ming's heart moved, and he didn't carefully ask Fan Qin's own father why he was arrested.

The situation that Chen Siliang talked about was very similar to the situation of his own family, and Fan Qin had also mentioned this matter to him, all because of a liar tea merchant from Luoyang Mansion in Xijing.

If it is really related to this matter, taking advantage of the arrival of the new magistrate, maybe there is still hope for this case to be overturned.

Thinking of this, Fan Ming couldn't help but take a slight breath, although he said that he had no feelings for the father who had not yet met, but after all, he was his nominal father, and if he could be rehabilitated, the benefits to himself would definitely be self-evident.

From the whole process of the old lady's ominous words, he was almost 50% sure that this was a premeditated officialdom dumping case.

The clearer it is, the hotter Fan Ming's heart becomes, the more he feels the importance of entering the county school, if he just takes this small mountain village, he will never have the opportunity to understand the truth of the matter, let alone overturn the case for his father.

The more he thought about it, the more restless his heart became.

Even Old Master Gong, who was supervising on the side, saw the impetuousness in his heart, and he severely criticized him mercilessly at the moment, and even lost the most basic 'peace of mind and calmness'.

In the evening of this day, at home, worship the gods and ancestors with the fruits of the season and the three animals, and eat the "winter rice" of the previous day (that is, the white rice is washed with water, exposed to the sun on this day, and then stored for cooking porridge in the future. ）

While drinking the hot porridge in the bowl and chewing the fragrant shredded meat in his mouth, Fan Ming's mind flew outside, looked at the nest of old crows falling on the jujube tree outside the courtyard, and asked, "Mother, did my father disagree with the previous magistrate." ”

Fan Qin was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Fan Ming to ask this question for a while, and then shook his head and said: "Your father rarely talks to me about official things, I am a woman who is qualified to know this, but it seems that once, your father came home drunk, and his mouth seemed to be vaguely scolding something, I came closer to listen to it, and my mouth seemed to be scolding the name of the previous magistrate, but on the surface, I heard that the magistrate of the county respects your father very much, and everything is discussed with him." ”

Fan Ming frowned, "Mother, think about it again, do your father and other people in the county have any grudges." ”

Fan Qin lowered his head and thought for a while, as if he was recalling something, and after a while, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and said, "By the way, I remember that Lord Xiancheng seems to have something to do with your father, and they often argue in the court. ”

Fan Ming knew in his heart at the moment that this was the same situation as the third sister Qiuyue guessed, so this matter of his own family could basically be determined to be done by Bu County.

And there must be some power disputes in this, but the 'rough line' father did not fight the literati's mouth and belly sword, but fell into the trap, when he thought that 'he' was almost poisoned by poison, he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and now he has already integrated himself into this identity, and it is natural to think about this matter to the side of the Fan family.

The Great Song Dynasty decreed that officials were appointed every three years, and the time when Fan Qin mentioned the accident of the Fan family was also the time when the new county magistrate Wang had just arrived.

This can make the discerning person have to think of the hidden mystery in it.

He knows that selling tea is a profiteering industry in this era, compared with salt affairs, the Great Song Dynasty has also formulated a tea law to monopolize tea affairs, as a county lieutenant, it is impossible for the father not to know the risks involved, but it is so easy to be fooled, there must be someone behind this who is fueling the troubles, and there are only a few people in Chuqiu County who can have such a big hand, that is, a few big Buddhas in the county government.
