Synopsis

Also known as The Late-Born Son of a Farming Family Takes the Civil Service Exams, and Grows So Powerful Even the Emperor Is Stunned; I Entered Government Through the Civil Service Exams and Became a Powerful Minister of Great Qian; Song Yuan, a rising star in the legal world, dies in a car accident and transmigrates into a farming family in Great Qian, becoming the late-born son whom the whole village mocks. With disasters striking one after another and his family mired in poverty, his life from the start is nothing short of hell mode. He hates hardship, hard work, and bugs, and faints as soon as he gets too much sun. But he knows at a glance that the civil service exams are his only way out! While others spend ten years studying in poverty, he relies on his modern intellect and wealth of knowledge to breeze through every challenge. He is hailed as a prodigy from his first day at school, takes first place in every exam, from the provincial to the palace examinations, and fights his way from licentiate to top scholar. Lin Erniang smiles. “People laugh that an old clam gave birth to a pearl, but how could they know I gave birth to a star of literary brilliance!” At court, even the emperor is stunned by him: “Minister Song, how should we deal with the floods in the south?” “The treasury is empty and trouble is mounting along the borders. Do you have a solution?” Song Yuan calmly takes action: he develops white sugar, boosts trade, strengthens the military, and secures the borders. He can stabilize the country with his words and repel enemies with force. The peace and prosperity of Great Qian are all thanks to this top scholar who rose from a farming family!

But I have a suggestion for anchors to understand that the brushes in ancient times were not soft, but hard! My father was born in 1946. The writing brush he used at that time was hard, so he could write hairpin flowers in small regular script! So I think anchors should understand that the writing brushes in ancient times were not soft, but hard pens. My father was born in 1946, and the writing brushes he used at that time were all hard pens. You can watch the news in Japan now, and you feel that they crossed out the princess's name because they wrote it with a hard pen. They use hard pens to write Chinese.

I like this kind of novel with the theme of the ancient imperial examination changing the "small family", and the success of the imperial examination changing the "everyone". The hardships of the imperial examination and the persistence of one's original intention after success are enjoyable to watch. The common sense and turbulence of the political situation in it are exciting to watch. The plot of the story is complete and smooth, and the ending is satisfactory. I give the author [like][like][like]
