章 49: It's Good to be Educated

He would only be qualified to participate in the imperial exam if he passed the state exam? After that, the best scholar was selected from those that passed the imperial exam? Before he could become an official, he first had to spend thousands of taels of silver?

How could a family of farmers afford thousands of taels of silver?!

If they couldn't afford it, they would have to try again, but the more they waited, the greater the competition.

Could a person who couldn't even pass the state exam go that far?

Lin Dachui and Old Lady Lin could no longer listen to the rest of the sentence.

Their dream to have a son who was an official was shattered.

The other members of the Lin family were also shocked when they heard this. They even felt that Lin Yuanshan had wasted their family's money.

After talking for a full 15 minutes, Zheng Yongzi finally finished explaining the process to become an official.
