Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    More than 100 taels of silver was a lot of money in the past, but in today's Ming Dynasty, it is nothing. Ordinary people here in the capital can earn 200 taels of silver after working for a year.

    With the development of global trade, colonization and industrialization, the wealth of the world is concentrating on the Ming Empire, causing the prices, labor, etc. of the Ming Dynasty to rise rapidly.

    A few decades ago, anyone who brought more than 100 taels of silver to Beijing to take the exam was considered a rich person, but now, he is really the poorest scholar.

    But even these more than 100 taels of silver were all saved by his parents after several years of hard work, because it was very expensive for Hu Xiwen to study in the old school.

    Shuquan has also become more and more expensive. It costs hundreds of taels of silver a year, and his parents are gritting their teeth.

    Fortunately, Hu Xiwen worked hard and passed high school in the first provincial examination. This was already a national examination, and his identity and status were different. If he could still pass high school in this examination, it would really be like a carp leaping over the dragon's gate, for generations.  The peasants turned over.

    After arriving in the capital in advance, Hu Xiwen also found a remote place where the rent was relatively cheap, so he lived there directly and worked hard to prepare for the exam every day.

    However, as time goes by, he misses his parents more and more.

    Gritting his teeth, Hu Xiwen also decided to make a phone call home. There was already a phone call in Chengdu when he left. The landlord where his parents rented a house in Chengdu had a phone installed, and he had already copied it when he came.  Number.

    "It is very expensive to call home. A casual call may cost you one or two cents. In the past, Hu Xiwen was reluctant to bear it. Those who came with him to rush for the exam did not call home if they had nothing to do.

    Almost all of them have telephones in their homes, and they don't need a little money or anything, but Hu Xiwen is different. He has limited money and must save some money, and this money is all earned by his parents' hard work.  Hu Xiwen was really reluctant to spend what he had saved.

    Hu Xiwen found his friends of the same year, Sun Yun and Chen Maoyi, who also came to take the exam together.

    "Brother Sun, Brother Chen, I wonder if you have time, can you teach me how to use the phone? I really miss my parents at home and want to call them."

    "No problem, Brother Hu's matters are our matters, let's go."

    When Sun Yun and Chen Maoyi heard this, they immediately agreed.

    Scholars pay attention to their status. As for whether they are rich or poor, it is not very important. As long as they can go to high school, even a poor scholar like Hu Xiwen will not have to worry about money in the future. Some people will send money.

    Hu Xiwen is young. He is taking the examination at the age of eighteen, and his teachers and Sichuan academic administration speak highly of him. Hu Xiwen has a bright future.

    They also paid special attention to Hu Xiwen, and would often use their own money to take Hu Xiwen around, but Hu Xiwen would often refuse.

    This kind of party is invited to go. If you ca n¡¯t afford to play, you can make less fun.

    Sun Yun and Chen Maoyi took Hu Xiwen to a telephone booth. There were many people lining up in the telephone booth, and many scholars could be seen.

    "These candidates from all over the Ming Dynasty are all candidates, and they are all people with status. They are all prominent figures in all parts of the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, they are the first to come into contact with fashionable things like telephones.

    "Hello!"

    "Dad, I have no money. Go to the bank and transfer tens of thousands of taels of silver to my account."

    "If you want money, you only transferred 20,000 taels of silver last time and you spent it all?"

    "There's nothing I can do about it. The consumption in this capital is very high. I spent a lot of money just to visit a few fellow villagers from the same dynasty. I also have to attend various parties and so on, which all cost money.  , I have already saved a lot of money."

    "Okay, you don't just know how to eat, drink and have fun, you still have to prepare for the exam. This will only be useful in high school."

    "I know, I know, I'm making plans for the future. If I don't pass the exam, I can still become an official if I have connections, and I'll also have the opportunity to be promoted."

    "I'll transfer you another tens of thousands of taels of silver."

    ""

    "Madam, do you miss me?"

    "Well, sir, everything is fine at home. Don't worry too much. Prepare well for the exam and strive to get into high school. Then you will be able to shine."

    "knew,Since childhood, my parents have endured a lot of hardships, and it is too expensive to study in the old school.

    Moreover, relatives and friends often talked about this matter, saying that there is no use in studying the old school, and it is better to study in the new school, so as to find a job. That is, after I won the election last year, everyone changed this view, and also started to think about their own family.  Much more polite.

    "No matter if you have enough, I will ask someone to send you money later, and you will still have to spend what you should spend."

    ¡°It¡¯s really not necessary, it¡¯s enough money.¡±

    Hu Xiwen chatted with his parents for another 20 minutes. After hearing that calling was expensive, he quickly hung up the phone.

    A phone call slightly eased Hu Xiwen's homesickness, but it also strengthened his determination to go to high school. It was really not easy for him to study at home.

    "My parents have eaten too much and suffered too much. If I don't win, my parents will have to save money and waste three years to save money for expenses if I come back in three years."

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? We are exempted from the land tax, and so on, if you have status and status, the proportion of land tax paid is very low now, and it is fundamentally different from before, and not many people will put their land under the name of the juren.

    This has also led to the fact that many civil servants today are relatively poor, but they still need to pass the Jinshi examination and become an official before they can truly become rich.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
