A month later, trials were conducted in various prefectures and rural areas.

Three months later, the joint examination and palace examination were held in the capital.

This was an act of kindness from the Great Feng Dynasty, and it was also a new route that the emperor opened for students from all over the world and those from poor families.

Everyone has hope.

If your family has a well-established business, if you want to grow stronger and honor your ancestors, you must join Enke.

Disciples from poor families who are not well off must also participate in Enke if they want to restore their former glory.

Hanmen refers to a humble family background.

It refers specifically to families with lower status and influence, also called common people, and does not refer to the poor class.

People like Gu Gan are children from poor families.

For a truly poor family, no matter how bad their lives are, they are still much better than those of ordinary people.

The illiteracy rate was very high in ancient times.

Even in the ancient China in Guo Tianyi's memory, there were a large number of illiterates in modern times.

Therefore, it is not easy for ordinary people to have a scholar in their family.

Not everyone has a talent like Gu Qian and can learn knowledge by doing odd jobs in a private school.

However, the whole Dafeng is too big.

There are many people like Gu Gan in total.

In addition, all the landlord class and gentry class also took action.

Hebei Road, Guanghe Prefecture.

This was the main battlefield where the Jin king's coalition forces and the Qin king fought fiercely for more than ten days.

Many facilities in the city, including the city walls, were damaged to varying degrees.

People's lives and economy also suffered a big blow because of the war.

Now, the place has restored its former prosperity.

There is an endless stream of hawking sounds from various vendors in the city.

There were not many people in the market that was supposed to be lively today.

Qin Yichuan walked to a meat shop and said, "Shopkeeper Liu, bring me two kilograms of pork belly, mince it..."

"It turns out to be Mr. Qin."

"Why did Mr. Qin buy so much meat today?"

Butcher Liu glanced at Qin Yichuan, who had dark circles under his eyes, casually cut off a piece of meat, and asked as he chopped it.

Qin Yichuan used to come here often to buy meat.

But no more than one kilogram each time.

And only buy once every half month.

Because Qin Yichuan's family has declined, but he is still a noble family in the city.

Butcher Liu's status was low, but he was still very polite to Qin Yichuan.

He remembered that ten years ago, Qin Yichuan's father was still very prestigious and his family had a lot of property.

But later, because he offended another extremely powerful noble clan, the family suffered varying degrees of blows.

Therefore, the entire Qin family has been going downhill in the past ten years.

Qin Yichuan's father is now bedridden again. Just seeing a doctor costs a lot of money, and he has already relied on selling off his family's property to make ends meet.

"Shopkeeper Liu, today is my mother's birthday, have you forgotten?" Qin Yichuan smiled and said politely, "My aunt is here, so I'm thinking about buying some meat buns and dumplings, and making some side dishes. Happy mother’s birthday…”

"Haha." Butcher Liu glanced at Qin Yichuan and said, "Master Qin, look at my brain, I actually forgot that you bought two elbows last year."

"Yes." Qin Yichuan sighed, and then said, "By the way, Shopkeeper Liu, why are there so few people in Fang City today?"

"Master Qin, you have been studying poetry and books at home all day long. It's not surprising that you don't know." Butcher Liu said casually, "Everyone has gone to the Yamen to consult Enke..."

"Enko?"

"What is Enke?" Qin Yichuan asked suspiciously, "Is the Yamen going to offer a reward for a person named Enke?"

"Hahaha." Butcher Liu was amused by the honest Qin Yichuan, "Master Qin, you are not a man named Enke. This is the decree issued by our emperor. I heard people say that scholars are allowed to take exams and be admitted based on their scores.

, you can enter an official career..."

Butcher Liu concentrated on chopping the meat and said without raising his head, "By the way, Mr. Qin, can you go and try it?"

After saying that, Butcher Liu didn't hear Qin Yichuan's response and looked up at Qin Yichuan.

But he saw Qin Yichuan standing there stunned, as if he was in trance.

"Master Qin?"

"Master Qin?"

"Ah!" Qin Yichuan suddenly woke up and said, "Shopkeeper Liu, are you telling the truth?"

"Mr. Qin, of course it's true." Butcher Liu said with a smile, "I, Liu, am a rough man and don't understand the specific process, but Mr. Qin, you can try it."

Butcher Liu has met many young masters from Guanghe Mansion.

My impression of Qin Yichuan is the best.

Among the other young masters, how can any one be as approachable and elegant as Qin Yichuan?

Just saying that Qin Yichuan personally cooks to celebrate his parents' birthday every year is worthy of a high look.

He had never seen Qin Yichuan buy meat to celebrate his birthday.

"Thank you."

"I'll go take a look when I get back."

"I'll go back and make dumplings for my mother later..."

Qin Yichuan smiled slightly and bowed his hands towards Butcher Liu to thank him.

"Master Qin, this is your meat filling." Butcher Liu wrapped the meat filling in lotus leaves, tied it with twine and handed it to Qin Yichuan.

"Thank you."

Qin Yichuan took the minced meat, paid for it, and returned home in a daze.

He knows.

My day has come.

Because his family had offended a large family in Guanghe Prefecture, his path to becoming an official with filial piety and integrity was basically cut off.

But Enke is different.

In the whole world, there is nothing but the royal land.

Who can be greater than Your Majesty?

That night, after his father and mother went to bed, Qin Yichuan came to the Yamen Gate.

By the moonlight, he read the notice word for word.

"Great, great..."

"Father, mother."

"When your child wins the exam, I will definitely let you live a good life."

Qin Yichuan clenched his fists, and a raging fire burned in his heart.

As the saying goes, it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.

He wanted to get back what the Qin family had lost over the years with his own hands.

My own family's powerful enemy is so powerful that I wear the same pants as the prefect.

If you can successfully enter the official career, all these problems can be solved.

If scholars everywhere have high morale, then the noble sons and students in the capital have even more fighting spirit.

Huang Mansion.

This is the residence of Huang Bo, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

"Wein, don't embarrass your father." Huang Bo looked at his son and said, "You usually think very highly of yourself, and you even won His Majesty's praise in Weiyang Palace last time, but you must not underestimate him.

Look at the people in the world."

"father."

"Don't worry."

"The child will definitely win the prize."
