Chapter 163 Cutting Off the Fire at the Bottom of the Blade



If the preliminary examination for the title of Tongsheng (童生) is like selecting 10,000 out of 100,000 people, and the county-level examination for the title of Xiucai (秀才) is like selecting 1,000 out of 10,000 people, then the provincial-level examination for the title of Juren (举人) is like selecting 100 out of 1,000 people.
