Acing the Imperial Exams and Making Money: I Become the Richest Person in Ancient Times

[Quietly getting rich + reluctantly drawn into the imperial examinations + stirring up the court]

Jiang Fan transmigrated.

He found himself in the body of a notorious “delinquent youth” in the Great Xia Dynasty.

He hadn’t enjoyed any of the original owner’s eating, drinking, gambling, and carousing, but he’d inherited all the beatings.

No cheat System, plus ten taels of debt: a disastrous start.

Give up? Never.

Fortunately, Jiang Fan had been a civil servant in his previous life. Three years working at the grassroots level had honed his skills.

He leveraged the influence of the era’s leading literary figure to pay off his debts, then improved the weaving and dyeing process to secure a steady income.

Just as life was starting to look up, his two villainous cousins began gaining influence through the imperial examinations.

The first thing they did once they gained power was target Jiang Fan’s entire family.

Jiang Fan had no choice but to get serious.

After all, he had graduated from a top university in his previous life and had an excellent knack for learning.

First in the county and prefectural exams? Jiang Fan must have gotten lucky.

First in the academy exam? Jiang Fan has some talent.

First in the provincial exam? Holy crap, Jiang Fan must be the God of Literature incarnate in Qixia County.

First in the metropolitan exam, first in the palace exam...

Jiang Fan’s mother: “Is this really my Er Gou?”

Jiang Fan, now the Great Xia Dynasty’s hidden richest man, smiled calmly. “This is just the beginning. Are kings and generals born to their stations?”
