[Behind the scenes + dimensionality reduction attack + portraits of poor families + ultimate pragmatism]
The imperial examinations of the Ming Dynasty seemed to give poor families a way to rise to the top, but in fact it was a scam completely monopolized by aristocratic families.
The past examination papers were locked in the Shenzhen compound, and the grading standards depended on the words of the great scholar. Even the qualifications to submit the examination papers depended on the looks of the powerful. A student from a poor family spends his entire life in poverty, destined to be just a companion to a wealthy family.
Gu Mingshu came through time travel and faced this suffocating class barrier. He sneered and clicked on the [Examiner Preference Big Data Panel] in his mind.
Fighting for foundation? I directly invented movable type printing and printed the monopoly knowledge worth a hundred taels into a three-hundred-copy "Five-Year and Three-Year Provincial Examination Simulation"!
Fighting for connections? I have a precise insight into the examiner's political Achilles' heel, tailor-made standard answers, and gain points like crazy by stepping on the faces of your family members!
From a remote county to the emperor's feet, Gu Mingshu used the most vicious words and the most extreme closed training to transform a group of poor scholars who had repeatedly failed in exams into emotionless "examination killers" and "official gangsters."
During the palace examination, the chief minister of the dynasty felt his hands and feet were cold when he saw that all the new scholars on the gold list were from poor backgrounds and had the same answering style.
"Check! Who is behind these mud-legged people?!"
At this time, in the other courtyard of the capital, Gu Mingshu was lecturing hundreds of disciples from poor families who were about to enter the court as officials:
"Don't talk to me about being noble. Being noble is a luxury that only aristocratic families deserve."
"I will teach you how to do questions and send you to become officials. From today on, the rules of the Ming Dynasty must be determined by our Gumen!"
