Mystery Makes Me Strong

The number of Jinshi is fixed.

However, there is no fixed number of candidates.

As long as you can pass the exam.

The Daqian Empire had 360,000 people.

Moreover, there is no age limit for candidates to be admitted to Jinshi.

In other words, every ten years theoretically 360,000 people rush to take the imperial examination.

The figure for scholars is 3.6 million.

When a person is admitted to the imperial examination, the success rate is theoretically one in 10,000.

Of course, many candidates do not want to take the Jinshi examination.

Because it is necessary to guard overseas.

But because Jinshi can be conferred as a god after his death, he can enjoy incense.

Although being a noble person is noble, you will have nothing after you die.

Therefore, many people enjoy the opportunity to take the Jinshi exam after they are 50 years old.

This is considered enjoyable.

Some people who are afraid of death may wait until they are seventy or eighty years old.

But at that time, there was basically no hope of winning.

First of all, your mind of seventy or eighty years old is definitely not as good as that of a person in your twenties or thirties.

Secondly, the examiner is disgusted when he sees this, it is too self-interested.

There is no sense of service to the country at all.

There are some who can win.

But those are often those who passed the examination to be a scholar at the age of 80, passed the examination to be a civil servant at the age of 86, and then went to take the imperial examination.

In other words, they didn’t delay on purpose.

Therefore, people generally take the imperial examination in their forties.

Any later and your energy will not be able to keep up, and the examiner will be disgusted.

Even if you have high ability, you will not be chosen.

After Wen Rensheng wanted to understand the background of this world, he knew that this was a Confucian and Taoist world.

In fact, he has no ill feelings or prejudice against Confucianism.

But he dismissed Confucianism, which gradually flattered the emperor and the powerful.

Of course, that is also caused by being in a closed environment.

As long as it is closed, strange things will emerge.

Just like a closed village, they also know that walking marriages are required and they cannot reproduce themselves, otherwise strange things will be born.

Something that the ancients have known for a long time.

This is true when giving birth to children, and so is cultural thought.

And at this time.

Just as Wen Rensheng was reminiscing, suddenly, there was a girl standing outside the door carrying a lunch box, waiting.

Wen Rensheng glanced at the students studying and then walked out.

"Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao, this is the meal sent to you by my family."

"By the way, how is my brother studying now?" the girl raised her head and asked.

Wen Rensheng thought carefully.

This woman's name is He Yun.

Her brother's name is He Zheng.

He's a little fat guy.

Every day I was proficient in eating, drinking and having fun, but I was sparse in memorizing and studying.

But he is good at acting in front of his parents.

Everyone thought he studied very hard.

Apart from these, this little fat guy is also very good at doing things.

I know how to respect him as a teacher.

It can be said that every gift given is the best and most sufficient.

Fruits and vegetables in four seasons.

Festive red envelope of money.

Therefore, my predecessor also loved and hated this little fat man.

It also tells their family that this child has potential, potential...

Who let the other party, the He family, be a wealthy family.

It can almost be said that the gifts he gave alone accounted for 1/3 of the entire class.

It's also because his family is relatively wealthy.

This is a middle-class landowner.

The family has at least 800 acres of good land.

Another solitary seedling.

In Wen Rensheng's view, it would be more efficient to get married early, have several children early, and choose a smarter person to study.

This reading really depends on talent.

It is too difficult to educate people well.

He also knew that the He family was actually interested in his predecessor and wanted to marry their daughter to him.

After all, he is also a scholar.

Although he is older, he still has connections.

The He family has 800 acres of land, and now they are in need of a scholar to protect their property.

The He family has just made its fortune for two generations.

He Yun's grandfather was a small businessman. He traveled through villages and alleys, selling needles, thread and brains, and occasionally selling some salt secretly.

Only then did he slowly make a fortune.

If you are not very courageous, if you just hope to be diligent and thrifty and want to make a fortune, you will have too many surprises.

A single blackmail can bankrupt you.

If you sell salt secretly, you can make more money.

In fact, it's just a personal gift.

This private salt is a huge profit.

Official salt is too expensive.

Many people can only eat light food.

A pound of salt can be sold for hundreds of cents.

A person consumes six grams a day, which is close to 2,000 grams a year.

That is 4 kilograms of salt, which is equivalent to half a tael of silver for one person in a year.

The total income of this family is only sixty-seven taels. How many people in this family only eat salt?

impossible.

Which common people can resist this?

However, private salt only sells for 30 to 50 Wen, and even coarse salt sells for 10 Wen.

That will save a lot, which is equivalent to the whole family spending only three to five yuan on salt a year.

In this case, it can barely be maintained.

Then his father's generation began to become businessmen again.

Of course, private salt is still sold secretly.

Wen Rensheng could know this news from his memory because He Pang was not a gatekeeper and rashly revealed it when giving a gift.

Fortunately, his predecessor didn't want to get into trouble and warned him not to speak out again, but he didn't hear anything.

This shows that the predecessor was relatively kind.

We know that selling illegal salt is not the same thing as human trafficking and lending money for pawns.

It’s just that the He family has begun to come ashore recently.

So I bought land, and wanted to start a career in the scholarly community, and wanted to farm, study, and pass down the family line.

This requires a scholar to protect himself.

This is how traditional families are formed.

With any luck, the foundation will be laid.

A family is slowly suffering.

No luck.

The family property was swallowed up halfway.

At least Wen Rensheng discovered from his memory that several powerful men in the county were eyeing the He family's property.

After all, the He family is neither big nor small.

800 acres of good land can be sold for more than 2,000 taels of silver.

It's a great fortune.

Even if he is the chief minister of the court and helps people with things, he only receives 3,000 taels of silver at a time.

This shows the value of silver.

2,000 taels of silver is enough to make up for the vacancy of a seventh-grade person.

So these powerful people are looking for opportunities to take action.

It is said that they have joined forces with the county magistrate and have targeted the He family.

Just waiting to catch the He family.

This can also explain why they are eager to marry their predecessors.

At least the predecessor, the teacher, and the same year.

Some scholar students have already passed the examination.

You can also build relationships by beating around the bush.

The biggest fear is that I have money but no place to send it.

Wen Rensheng smiled slightly.

Only then did he say: "Pang He, your grades have been good recently."

"He already has a desire to learn."

"Thank you teacher for your teaching. This is this year's text that my father brought to you."

With that said, He Yun handed a book to Wen Rensheng.

"In that case, I would like to thank your father very much."

"No, I also want to thank the teacher for teaching me, brother."

Wen Rensheng looked at those students.

He can continue to use his former university teaching and academic skills.

This can be regarded as returning to the old profession.

Before, he was asked to do his job as a detective.

Now he is asked to return to his old profession of teaching.

He also wanted to cheat again.

It turns out that this time cheating didn't seem to be a very good cheat.

It is a bit difficult to move the world.

It seems that this world is more solid, more powerful, and has more connections.

Thinking of this, Wen Rensheng shook his head.

Then he asked He Yun directly: "Is there anything going on in your family recently?"

"No, thank you sir for your concern." He Yun was a little flustered.

"Well, just come to me if you need anything." Wen Rensheng nodded.

Then He Yun left in a hurry.

Could it be that sir knows?

He Yun felt heavy in his heart.

She thought that a few days ago, the widower Wang, an old scholar in the west of the city, came to see her if he wanted to marry again.

The father saw through the other party's intention immediately.

After marrying her, the next step would be to kill her brother.

And then killed her father.

In this way, it is logical to occupy her family's property.

They had heard this kind of thing many times.

For example, the Lu family in the north of the city fell into decline in this way.

And I couldn't find any trouble afterwards.

Only middle-class people with talented people in their families can keep their family business.

Because you can go to the Confucian Temple and let the saints make the decision.

In this case, there will be no mistake in the eyes of the saint.

At least no one can do this kind of blatant violation of ethics, friends, and principles.

But if there are no scholars in your family and you cannot sue the Confucian Temple, then the problem will be serious.

The other party can manipulate you as they please.

There are 9 ways to kill you.

So she hurried home.

Let’s talk about this.

Father He sighed and said, "It seems that Mr. Zhao is a good person. He must have heard some rumors from his classmates."

"In this case, I will find someone to propose marriage to Mr. Zhao tomorrow. I hope he can agree."

In fact, He's father had expressed his intention before, but Wen Rensheng's predecessor did not agree.

In fact, I am still very excited.

I think we should find an official lady.

Not the daughter of the nouveau riche.

What's more, the other party is not very civilized.

Can't provide any help at all.

So it was delayed like this.

This time, He's father decided to take out a family heirloom as a dowry.

This was originally meant to be reserved for He Pang to rush for the exam.

That's an inkstone.

It was his father who helped a scholar outside.

The scholar died of illness on the road. Finally, he gave him the inkstone and begged him to send him back to his hometown.

His father did just that.

In ancient times, it was very expensive to send corpses back to their hometown.

It is also easy to contract diseases due to decomposition of corpses along the way.

In short, transporting corpses thousands of miles is a good name and a righteous act.

Let people return to their roots after falling leaves.

And his father got this inkstone.

Then it turned out to be smooth sailing afterwards.

Later, he also asked his father, since this inkstone is so great, why can't it protect scholars?

His father couldn't answer it either, so he had to ask someone else for advice.

This thing can protect different people, but it can only protect each person a certain number of times.

It seems that the scholar died of illness after running out of times.

He was willing to take it out because he felt that it was used up to protect his family.

Otherwise, how could someone come to seize the family property?

So this is also the reason why he decisively sent it out.

…………

Then Wen Rensheng naturally agreed.

Anyway, it’s just a matter of this body.

It has nothing to do with him.

And this is just an engagement.

After he leaves, this body will naturally take over the cause and effect.

He looked at the inkstone.

Immediately the mysterious seed was activated and analyzed.

"The Inkstone of the Black Dragon: Literary Qi (0/10)."

"When Wen Qi exists, you can consume Wen Qi to resist disasters. Made from dragon bones."

"So that's it. It's because I've exhausted all my energy, so I can't resist the He family's difficulties."

The He family didn't know how to collect Wen Qi, and they couldn't see that this thing could collect Wen Qi.

I'm afraid the original owner didn't know either. He only knew that it worked sometimes and sometimes not.

But before the scholar died, all his literary energy was lost, so he recharged it.

So the He family is carrying a treasure but doesn't know it.

This is an eye-opener.

It's like missing a family heirloom.

If there is a real talent in their family, this thing can be used for generations.

It is indeed an inkstone made of dragon bones.

There is indeed something magical about it.

Wen Rensheng then began to charge it.

Mainly using the energy of his own mysterious seed.

As for literary energy, he saw that it was the extraordinary energy of this world, which could be leveraged by the words of scholars.

In the final analysis, it is a spiritual resonance.

And he directly skipped this stage and directly used the mysterious seeds to leverage those energies.

It can be said that this world can allow small cheats, but cannot allow big cheats.

For example, it is not possible to directly change matter, change destiny, or change underlying data.

But it is possible to quietly increase the probability and leverage the energy operation.

So in this way, Wen Rensheng discovered that he could collect more similar items.

Just as I was thinking about it, suddenly an old man's voice came:

"But Brother Zhao is at home?"

Wen Rensheng went out and saw that it was the widower Wang, an old scholar in the west of the city.

They were both talented people from the same city. They had met each other during exams and classes at the county school.

"Oh, it turns out to be Brother Wang Nian. What's the matter?"

"Oh, it's like this. I am old and frail and need a companion to take care of me. Then Miss He family was the one I chose first to take care of me."

"I see that her family is well off, she must have a lot of dowry, and she is a good person. I hope my brother will break off the engagement and give her to me." The widower Wang, an old scholar in the west of the city, actually said this.

After Wen Rensheng heard this, he kicked him out.

"You're such a shameless person. How dare you steal my engagement? Are you embarrassed?"

If it were in the previous life on earth, the words of Wang Weifu, an old scholar in the west of the city, would definitely go viral on the Internet.

What, marrying a wife just to take care of you until you die?

Did you make love?

If you want to covet other people's family background and dowry, that's even more damning.

But here, this guy actually discussed with Wen Rensheng openly.

He also said that he would give way.

It's just looking for death.

Wen Rensheng didn't kick him to death, he just didn't want to go through any trouble.

"You, you, actually beat the old man, disrespecting the seniors at the top and the elderly at the bottom. Just wait, the county magistrate will definitely destroy your reputation as a scholar!" said the widower Wang, an old scholar in the west of the city, harshly.

When Wen Rensheng heard this, he stepped forward and kicked the old immortal in the heart.

The widower Wang then opened his mouth wide, his eyeballs exploded, his head tilted, and he died.

But at this time, no one was around to see it.

Wen Rensheng then dragged him out, found an open space and buried him.

At this time, there was no one around.

The reason is also very simple.

The old scholar and widower in the west of the city came too early.

He may be afraid of long nights and many dreams.

It's fine now, no need to be afraid anymore.

There is no need for anyone to wait on you anymore.

This makes it much easier.

Before Wen Rensheng came, he didn't expect that he would become a murderer.

It can be said that most of the kick just now was the instinct of this body.

In fact, Wen Rensheng deliberately had no control and just followed his instinct.

Now it seems that the soul of this body is really interested in Miss He's family.

In other words, some men’s exclusivity:

I don't have to, but it's better not to marry because of me.

It can be said that in the previous life, he would have died.
