Chapter 957 Fair Price

Yue Chen is about to approach Anning County.

Yue Chen put away the three pets, and under Wei Zhongxian's service, he changed into the clothes of an ordinary nobleman.

Then Yue Chen and Wei Zhongxian put on human skin masks and changed their appearance.

Yue Chen turned into a son in his twenties, and Wei Zhongxian turned into an old servant in clean clothes.

Not long after, Yue Chen and Wei Zhongxian appeared on the streets in Anning County without a sound.

There are people coming and going on the street, which is very lively.

Yue Chen saw many young gentlemen walking on the street with folding fans in their hands. It seems that because of the scientific research, this place has become much more lively.

Yue Chen said to Wei Zhongxian: "This Anning County is only a middle-level county in Qingluo Country, but it can reach this level. This background is really not comparable to that of our Yue Country."

Wei Zhongxian said with a smile: "Master, this is your Yue Kingdom now."

"Hehe, yes, yes!" Yue Chen laughed.

Along the way, Yue Chen strolled leisurely in the street, and there were shouts everywhere on the street.

After wandering around for a while, Yue Chen found a teahouse to sit down and drink tea.

Just after sitting down, Xiao Er served a pot of good tea, and a man in a green shirt sat on one side of the table.

"You two are outsiders." The young man smiled, but his eyes were on Yue Chen, ignoring Wei Zhongxian.

Yue Chen said lightly: "How did you know?"

The man in Tsing Yi said with a smile: "We gangsters, rely on our eyesight, whether it is from Anning County or an outsider, I can tell at a glance.

And, I have followed you all the way, and I am very sure that you are outsiders. "

Yue Chen smiled and said, "I'm waiting from outside."

The man said: "I'm afraid, he is not from the Qingluo Kingdom."

Yue Chen nodded.

"He's here to take part in the scientific examination." The man in Tsing Yi asked again.

"Yes!" Yue Chen replied.

The man in Tsing Yi smiled, and said in a low voice, "Since he is here for the imperial examination, this young master also knows that as long as he passes the imperial examination, he can become an official in our Yue Kingdom, and he might become a big shot in the future."

Yue Chen nodded, and said: "I have seen this point in the spirit world a long time ago, Yue Guoke examines for scholars, as long as they perform outstandingly, they will have the opportunity to be promoted to the top.

I heard that among the imperial court, the first adult to be admitted, after half a year of hard work, is now a county magistrate, with an unlimited future, he is indeed a role model for my generation. "

The county magistrate was a twenty-three-year-old young man, talented, down-to-earth, and outstanding at the grassroots level.

Yue Chen unconventionally promoted him as the county magistrate of Qipin, which can be regarded as setting a good example for many scientific researchers.

Hearing this, the man in Tsing Yi smiled slightly and said, "Yes, that lord is really admirable. But my lord, do you know what the premise is for this lord to be the county magistrate?"

Yue Chen said lightly: "Of course it's because of his extraordinary ability, and he met Mingjun."

The man in Tsing Yi smiled noncommittally, then shook his head lightly and said, "No!"

"Oh!" Yue Chen said lightly, "Dare to ask brother, if it's not ability, then what is it?"

The man in Tsing Yi smiled and said, "Naturally, I passed the imperial examination."

"Hahaha!" Yue Chen laughed loudly, "Brother, what you said is funny, isn't it a sign of his outstanding ability to pass the imperial examination?"

There was a smile on the face of the man in Tsing Yi, as if he was grasping the winning ticket, and he said lightly: "Brother, there are so many people in the scientific examination, can you guarantee that you will pass the entrance examination?"

Yue Chen said with a smile: "It's natural. With my talent, I'm still very confident."

A faint sneer appeared on the face of the man in Tsing Yi, and then he lowered his voice and said: "Brother, have you ever thought that the test questions for this test are handed in by people. The scores for this test are also scored by humans.

This power is all in the hands of certain adults.

Isn't this, let you go up, let you go down? "

"What do you mean?" Yue Chen frowned slightly.

The man in Tsing Yi seemed to see Yue Chen's worry, and said softly: "Your Majesty, brother, don't you understand? Brother came here from abroad, he must have spent a lot of trouble.

Now I have finally arrived in Anning County and can take part in the scientific examination. As long as you spend a little more money, your road to scientific research will be much more stable.

If you don't take care of it, Xiongtai is likely to be underappreciated.

Even if you can participate in the next scientific examination, the travel expenses for this round trip will probably be quite a lot. This...is not worth it. "

"I understand." Yue Chen sighed softly, "It's good to have power."

The man in Tsing Yi smiled and said, "So, for this power, it would be worth paying a small price, wouldn't it?"

Yue Chen seemed to have finally enlightened, nodded slowly, looked at the man in Tsing Yi and said, "If you dare to ask brother, what price will you have to pay?"

The man in Tsing Yi pointed to the teapot in front of him.

Yue Chen understood and gave Wei Zhongxian a wink.

Wei Zhongxian quickly poured tea for the man in Tsing Yi.

The man in Tsing Yi grinned at Yue Chen and said, "Sensible!"

The man in Tsing Yi took a sip of tea, and then said slowly: "It depends on you, what level you want to reach."

Yue Chen bowed and said: "Brother, please make it clear, I will listen carefully."

The man in Tsing Yi said indifferently: "Some things are not convenient for adults to come forward, so we act as messengers. The things here are divided into several levels. The first level is treated fairly and only needs fifty taels of silver .”

Yue Chen asked curiously: "What is fair treatment?"

The man in Tsing Yi said: "That is, you take the normal imperial examination, and the adults will select scholars according to your talent. If you are really talented, you will be admitted. At the same time, it will be guaranteed that you will not be replaced by others."

Yue Chen slightly widened his eyes and said, "Is it possible to be replaced?"

The man in Tsing Yi smiled, showing a smug look on his face, and then continued: "The other way is that you pay one thousand taels, even if you don't have much talent, we can find some good ones from the examination papers, and change them to others." into your name.

Of course, you can also add more land, the better the test paper we will give you. "

Yue Chen said in a deep voice: "Then if many people pay the money, wouldn't many people be replaced?"

"Smart!" The man in Tsing Yi laughed, "So, if you really have real talents and learning, you don't need to replace others, as long as you hand in fifty taels of silver, you don't have to worry about being replaced by others."

Yue Chen's fist was clenched subconsciously.

From the words of the person in front of him, we know that the officials here actually regard the imperial examination as a field of their own interests and a tool for them to make money.

Even blatantly selling quotas.

Those who do not pay will have a high possibility of being replaced?

Want to ensure fairness, but also pay?

Fifty taels of silver... This is five years of expenses for an ordinary family.

Ordinary poor families, how can they afford it? Haven't they become a group of poor people replaced by mediocrity?

This is still the first round, so what about the second round? How much will it cost to buy fairness?
