On the issue of the protagonist dropping out of school to start a business, as well as the novel itself
Some book friends in the book review area have been mentioning that the protagonist must take the imperial examination and cannot do business, so I can only say helpless and sorry. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
We will talk about this question in the context of Dream of the Red Chamber and this book.
In the Dream of Red Mansions, the Jia family is going to be raided, and if it is a raid, it will be the same whether you will take the imperial examination or do business, in fact, I have made it very clear in the previous chapter 5. Here's an excerpt -
The path of the imperial examination is useless to change this outcome.
The Jia family, a meritorious family, has a deep foundation, and adding a jinshi, even if it is the first name among the jinshi, the champion, actually can't add much weight.
Although the future is great, I don't know how many years it will take to ascend to the cabinet and become the central minister. By that time, even the daylily will be cold.
What's more, even if it is hard, it may not be able to go to the cabinet to worship the prime minister, and the extremely popular ministers, in the Hanlin Academy, unambitious officials abound.
Betting on the imperial examinations is not a wise move in any case.
At the same time, he also clarified one point, that is, he must prepare all kinds of resources in advance, whether it is money, people, prestige, in short, the more resources in hand, the stronger the ability to resist this great risk.

After picking up this paragraph, let's go back and talk about the age of the protagonist in this book, he is already fourteen years old, not seven or eight years old, and it is a matter of two or three years to raid the house. Take five or six seven or eighty or ninety steps back, even if the protagonist can avoid the disaster of raiding his family as an official (then he is better than his eldest sister, a virtuous concubine), it's okay. In the past two or three years, he didn't even have enough time to take the Jinshi exam, let alone be an official.
Calculate it, the county test of that year, the government test of that year, all of them were the head of the case, and there was no need for the road test, okay? A year has passed.
The following year, the township test. Another year has passed.
Again the annual meeting test. Another year has passed.
In fact, the time of the imperial examination is not so simple, it takes a certain number of years, this is the fastest algorithm, but it has been three years. Before the official could do it, his house was raided.

What about business, you don't have to follow the steps, if the protagonist has a talent for business, he can accumulate a huge fortune in two or three years. Some book friends in the book review area said that they need a backstage or something, isn't the Jia family the background backstage? The royal family is a relative, do you need a harder backstage?
Isn't the Jia family still raiding the house, isn't it okay for the protagonist to use this background backstage now? More on that later.

Talking about the novel itself.
Novels always have a framework, and the plot can't escape this framework, but it can change, that is, it can have twists and turns.
Specific to the Red Mansion Homo,The protagonist will always have a relationship with the emperor.,In the end, the emperor can't hurt him.,Can't hurt relatives and friends around him.,How does the process develop?,That's what everyone writes.,Whether it's the imperial examination or business.,Or what kind of relationship is climbing.,In fact, it's also a process of power accumulation.,You let the power accumulate more.,Less.,Or don't accumulate power for a while.,Accumulate again.,It's all a process.。
Therefore, to sum up, the imperial examination is not a factor to avoid raiding the family, and it is only a kind of accumulation of strength, and that's it.
In addition, I also want to emphasize that there are too many historical essays written about the imperial examination, and the Ming Dynasty Wenkui has written to the extreme, so I will not be ugly.
The Red Chamber is a complete overhead text, and it can be filled with a lot of elements, not just commercial, although it is not necessarily new, but I still want to try these combinations.

Finally, if someone doesn't understand what a copyist is, they can look up the information, so I'll stop talking about it, and I won't discuss this issue.
