But there is no way to do it, there are many students in the township examination, including the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, about 1,000 people, and the examination room is limited, so that everyone has a relatively relaxed position, which is obviously unrealistic.

However, even if the environmental conditions are poor, there will be countless people who know the difficulties and go up, everyone says that the imperial examination is difficult, and it is difficult to go to the sky, Yi'an finally experienced the mystery of this sentence.

Yi An has seen five or six students successively, because of the physical error, was taken down by the officer, without exception, several physical problems are old students, they are over fifty or sixty years old, physical strength is not as good as before, plus a whole day and a night of high concentration, so that the state plummeted, and finally could only fall to Sun Shan.

On the second day, the township test finally ended, almost everyone, all of them showed a sense of relief, ten years of hard work, in order to be this short two days, then they only need to wait for the release of the list, if it becomes, then you can participate in the next round of the examination, and have the fame of lifting people, if not, you can only wait for another three years.

For the vast majority of people, even if they will try to fail, it is nothing, in this era of lack of knowledge, people already have a lot of privileges, people are different from showmen, they can be officials, but most of them are government, county teaching, master books and other eighth, nine-grade adjutants, and there are also county officials, but very few.

Even so, it has an extraordinary social status.

In addition, the lifter also enjoys the basic privilege of not paying taxes and not servitude, and after the lift, he is the master, which will attract the small farmers and small chambers of commerce in the vicinity to drag their families and subordinates to them, and sacrifice their property to reduce themselves to tenants and helpers, in order to evade the exploitation and extortion of tax officials and servants.

It is precisely because of his many privileges that Master Chen was able to accumulate tens of thousands of family fortunes in just a few years.

When leaving, Yi An did not encounter the unpleasantness similar to when he came, and Huang Zongping was also very familiar with him and did not come back to his eyes, but Yi An saw a down-and-out figure, it was the previous Qin Menghui, he was not having a good time this time, he simply became a street rat that everyone shouted and beat in the literati circle.

Even the "close friends" in the past began to gradually alienate him.

Moreover, his father was also very disappointed in him, for a while, Qin Menghui's life seemed to be a betrayal of relatives, and he didn't feel any warmth, even this township test, he was in a big state, and the level of performance was not even seventy percent on weekdays, if there was no accident, then he was basically named Sun Shan.

The moment he saw Yi An, he was angry, but the facts told him that when he bumped into it at this time, it was just a humiliation, even if he was unwilling, he could only swallow it in his stomach, and during this time, his edges and corners were smoothed out a lot, a little less vigorous, and a little more calm.

When Yi An returned home, he saw Wei Liang greet him and asked, "How was it, how did you do in the exam?"

didn't wait for Yi An to respond, only to hear Wei Liang muttering to himself again: "But it shouldn't be a big problem if I think about it, even if I don't have a chance with the top three, but I am at the bottom of the exam, I should be nine out of ten." ”

Yi'an "......"

This is because he has no confidence in him, doesn't he have any hope of being in the top three in high school?

Yi An actually felt that he had done well in the exam, although generally speaking, feeling good about himself came from most of his own delusions, and it was estimated that even Wei Liang had such thoughts, so Yi An didn't say it, just showed a smile, which was a response to Wei Liang's words.

Li Zhihe retorted: "I think you underestimate Brother Yi, sir, in my opinion, Brother Yi is much stronger than those who deceive the world and steal fame." ”

In this regard, Wei Liang did not defend himself, he just smiled and shook his head, Li Zhihe's idea is still too simple, there are countless talented people in the world, and those who come to participate in the township examination belong to the elite among the scholars, even if they are hypocritical, they are also literate villains, and they can't ignore the other side of the other party because of the inferior side.

"The township test is only the first level, if you want to stand out in the examination, it is not a simple thing, at the very least, you need to lift people from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, pull out the top ten rankings, otherwise, it will be difficult, and then, you have to work harder. Wei Liang said seriously.

Take the township examination as an example, in the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, there are thousands of students, but the number of admitted students is only 50 people, that is to say, there is only a one-twentieth chance.

After all, the examination is a gathering of students from all over the country who stand out, compared with the examination, the township examination is a small fight, and the examination and approval of the examination will be more strict, there will be about thousands of people for reference in each session, and those who remain are also only one-twentieth, or even lower, which shows that the imperial court selects officials strictly.

Although favoritism and fraud are inevitable, this kind of thing has happened in all dynasties, it can be said that money can make ghosts grind, especially in this era when corrupt officials are rampant, this situation is even more widespread, fortunately, those corrupt officials are very good at grasping this degree, and they generally do tricks and feet from the middle and lower reaches of the list.

......

Normally, the day of the release of the list is a week later, and in these seven days, Yi An can finally take a breath, so he frees his hands to practice the Five Elements Dao Technique, wanting to be perfect, only practice makes perfect.

Cultivating the Five Elements Dao Technique was obviously inappropriate in a crowded city, so Yi An thought of the eastern part of the city that he had come to for the first time using the Earth Escape Technique, which was inaccessible and surrounded by barren mountains, which was very suitable for concentrating on cultivation.

After using the Earth Escape Technique and Fire Control Technique several times, soon, the true qi in his body was consumed.

After a stick of incense.

Yi An stood up energetically, his skill is still shallow, it won't take long to recover, if he breaks through to the Guiyuan realm, and when the true qi in his body is converted into true yuan, then it will take at least several times as long as it is now.

Yi An came to the famous Zhejiang River outside Hangzhou, also known as Qiantang, and began to practice water avoidance, at the beginning, he could only support a few seconds, and his clothes were wet by the river.

"Compared to the first two, this water avoidance technique is relatively difficult. ”

However, he was not discouraged by this, if he was in a hurry, it would be difficult to get anything, and he had to endure loneliness along the way to cultivation.
