In Such Troubled Times, Who Still Takes the Imperial Examination?

Qin Lang traveled through time and became a poor scholar in the last years of the dynasty. My parents and eldest brother have just died, and the government has to collect a death tax. A family of three has to pay the tax of six people. There was also Green Tea to coax him into taking scientific exams for others, hoping that he would risk his life in exchange for money. Faced with this mess, Qin Lang tore up the sage's book and said, "The exam is nothing! Who would take the imperial examination in such troubled times?" From a piece of gypsum to monopolizing trade routes; from being bullied by the locals to the county magistrate coming to ask for help; from a family having no enough food to eat to having strong soldiers and horses under his command. Someone asked him, are you not afraid that the court will suspect you of rebellion? Qin Lang smiled: When the court suspects you of rebelling, you'd better be rebelling.
