These dozens of teams, but also have weapons with weapons, born fierce and vicious guards, even if there are robbers, they dare not provoke them, the most important thing is that Lu Yuan has rich experience in walking, and has already arranged the schedule, when to set off every day, how many roads to walk, and when to hit the sharp, all of which are properly arranged, and they arrived in the capital without the slightest twist and turn.

Some of these people have been to the capital, like Tao Xingyan, Yun Zhiqiu and others, even Zhou Yu has also traveled to the capital, so there is no fuss after seeing the capital, but Luo Xin is the first time to come to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and seeing the thick city wall, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, made his heart very shocked.

When I entered the capital, I saw countless lifts, which were close to February, and a large number of lifters began to pour into the capital, and they were overcrowded for a while.

Every person who entered the capital had hope on his face. There are people of all ages, from young to middle-aged, and even old. Watching the flow of people, Luo Xin couldn't help but sigh in his heart, a lifetime of hard study, just for this day, all the good times in his life are spent on hard study, countless people in the world went to Beijing to catch the exam, but how many were in the final exam?

What a thousand troops crossed the single-plank bridge!

Even if you kill the single-plank bridge and win the jinshi, how many people can live a happy life in the end, and they can display their ideals or live a comfortable life?

Officialdom is a place of ups and downs, and many years of hardship may be exchanged for a kind of suffering, a kind of disappointment, or even a ruined reputation and imprisonment.

But even so, it can't stop the trend of wanting to be an official, as long as the family has the conditions, every parent will choose to let their son study and take the imperial examination.

Raising people in the examination does not mean that you can be an official, although you can also be an official, but you can only be an eight-grade supplement, and the best opportunity is to make up for the seven-grade county. If you want to go further, it is impossible, and if you want to really embark on a career as an official, there is only one way, that is, to take the Jinshi, and only in the examination can you have the foundation to be an official.

The test will be in the capital, and the time will be in February. Therefore, those who are close to the capital can also leave for the capital after the year, while those who are far away from the capital must leave before the year, and even some distant ones have to leave several months in advance. In addition, after the exam, waiting for the list to be released, the near ones need to stay in the capital for two to three months, while the far ones need to stay in the capital for half a year from the date of departure.

In the 13 provinces of the Ming Dynasty, more than 5,000 people, each of whom brought a few guards and scholars, nearly 20,000 people poured into the capital.

Some people say, weren't there poor scholars in ancient times? Will a poor scholar have a family and a scholar?

The poor talents you mentioned are the situation before the township test. There are only poor talents in the world. There is no such thing as an exhaustive man. Once a showman is promoted, there will be many people who will go to slavery with the land deed, and they will become rich in an instant, or how to say it. What about the golden house in the book?

Therefore, the inns in the capital were full all of a sudden, and the prices were increased by five times, so there were many people who could not stay in the inns.

The triennial examination is called the Year of Tabi. It is a year of harvest for the people of Beijing, and many people have vacated one or two rooms in their homes and rented them out as guest rooms. Even Taoist temples and temples are the same, of course, they don't say it's rental, but call it sesame oil money.

This is only a problem of housing, but also the problem of prices, all the prices in the capital are soaring, at least five times the usual, this is a harvest season for the people of the capital, but for the people who rush to take the exam, it is a huge consumption.

In normal times, the accommodation fee in the capital is enough for three or five taels of silver a month, but now it requires fifteen taels to twenty taels. Coupled with the daily meals, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone for reading, the cost of gatherings, the exchange of favors, and the round-trip travel expenses, the cost of a meeting test basically requires two hundred taels of silver.

Even if they are already lifters, and they are no longer poor talents, this kind of cost is unaffordable for many lifters. If it's a person who has just been promoted, it's okay to be a scholar, with a new house slave, as well as relatives and friends, and even gifts from the local county order, this time I will try to be able to cope with the past, and it won't be too shabby. However, is Jinshi so easy to test?

More than 5,000 people can only pass the examination of 299 people, of which three people are in the first grade, 85 people in the second grade, and 211 people in the third family. People like them who have failed the test several times, first of all, the local county order will not give away silver taels every time, and secondly, relatives and friends will not, and even the house slaves who have defected will do everything possible to leave the master's house, so like this kind of repeated misses, in fact, they have become poor people, although they are richer than poor Xiucai, but their consumption is also greater than that of poor Xiucai!

However, the local state capitals still took this into account for these people, and 13 provinces have built guild halls in the capital, which are not government-run, but built through donations, and usually serve as a place for local people to stay in Beijing, charging relatively low fees. However, in the year of Dabi, these halls will no longer entertain anyone who has nothing to do with the examination, and will be used exclusively to receive candidates and entourage, and all food and lodging will be free of charge.

Of course, the accommodation conditions will not be good, the food will not be good, if you want good food and accommodation, then don't live in the club, and have the money to live somewhere else.

Therefore, candidates from all over the world finally had no choice but to choose to live in the guild hall.

Luo Xin and the others naturally did not have this concern, and they were directly taken by Lu Yuan to Lu Tingfang's Beppu in the capital. This is where Lu Tingfang lived when he was an official in the capital, the whole garden is not big or small, there are two gardens before and after, and more than a dozen rooms, which means that the Lu family is rich, otherwise even if it is a Beijing official, the vast majority of people do not have such a place to live.

Lu Tingfang's family and maid had already opened the door, standing at the door and watching, they had been like this for the past few days, when they saw Luo Xin and them coming on horseback, their faces immediately showed a happy smile, and they greeted Luo Xin.

"The old servant visits my uncle!"

Luo Xin nodded, jumped off the horse, and walked into the door under the leadership of Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan was very familiar with this place, and immediately arranged for his subordinates to lead Jinyang Jiujie to their own rooms.

After a few days of travel, people were sleepy and tired, and even Luo Xin, who had been practicing martial arts since childhood, felt tired. After bathing and changing clothes, and having a simple meal, everyone went back to their rooms and fell asleep.
