Chapter 651: Everyone has a choice

The announcement of Qiu Wei's announcement moved all the states, and some families were happy and others were sad.

It was the first time that Sheng Yuan felt such a contrast so clearly.

After a provincial examination, there were many fewer classmates in Jiujiang College. Nearly half of the tables in their class were visibly empty, which made her feel inexplicably melancholy.

Some of these disappeared classmates were not on the list, and some had no intention of continuing despite being admitted to the Juren Examination.

"The provincial examination is held every three years, and the number of people admitted each time ranges from two hundred to over ninety. Although we are determined to make progress, our talents are here. Instead of lingering in the examination room, wasting time and even wasting life, If we retreat bravely and find a good way out and make a living, we may not be able to cultivate our children and grandchildren into talents in the future." Before Tu Huirong left, he specifically said goodbye to Sheng Yuan. She was a frustrated person, but she still wanted to persuade Sheng Yuan not to worry about her. Difficult to calm down.

Sheng Yuan looked at the girl who had changed a lot in front of her. This girl, who was a bit sharp and mean when they first met, gradually reached a reconciliation with herself and life through reading day by day. Now she has become gentle and calm.

"I'm two years older than you. I'm almost 20 now. If I still can't make up my mind, I'm afraid something will happen at home. My mother and brother both suggested that I go to a government school near Gyeonggi Province. I also want to find a teaching position, so we can still meet, don't be too sad."

Her words were like a breeze, instantly blowing away Sheng Yuan's rare sadness.

Tu Huirong is right. Students who fail the provincial examination do not have only two options: re-fighting in the examination room or returning home to farm.

If you can work hard and study hard in Fuzhou County, you will have a chance to be recommended to study in the Imperial College. As long as you become a student of the Imperial College, you will have a great chance of qualifying for official selection.

As far as Sheng Yuan knows, the success rate of choosing this promotion path is about 90%!

If you are not extremely ambitious and don’t want to suffer the pain of exams, then this path is considered the best option.

Of course, if family conditions permit, students do not need to wait for official school selection. They can simply pay 800 shi to obtain the qualifications to study in the Imperial College.

Of course, whether you are admitted to the Imperial Academy through recommendation or by yourself, the future after being selected as an official is very different from the career path for Jinshi candidates.

One of the career directions for the Imperial College students is to serve as teachers in the official schools of various prefectures and counties.

However, not many Imperial College students are willing to teach, and most of them still look forward to a real official and part-time position. Therefore, the shortage of teaching positions in official schools in various places is relatively serious.

Therefore, after discussion between the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel, the selection quotas for official teaching positions in prefectures, prefectures and counties were opened to the annual tribute students.

The number of teaching positions in official schools in various places may not be very attractive to the Imperial College students who are waiting to be elected, but it is a promising path for the junior high school students who do not want to waste time waiting.

Because once a Suigong student member takes up a teaching position in an official school, as long as he has three years of effective teaching qualifications, he can participate in the provincial examination as a "Confucian scholar" until he becomes a candidate.

Tu Huirong chose this path of teaching.

There are many students like her in Jiujiang Academy who find another way after failing once.

After seeing off Tu Huirong, Yang Yuezhen, who had a good relationship with Shengyuan, actually came to say goodbye to Shengyuan.

"I remember that you were already in charge of raising people, so why did you have to change your way?" Sheng Yuan was a little surprised by his choice.
