There were imperial examinations in the Song Dynasty, and there were imperial examinations in Liao Dynasty. The imperial examinations in the Song Dynasty were divided into ex-examination, provincial examinations, palace examinations, and three-level systems were implemented. The imperial examinations in the early Liao Dynasty were also three-level systems, namely provincial examinations, and provincial examinations. Liao occasionally had palace examinations, but the Liao Palace Examination was not called palace examinations, but was called "Imperial Examination".

In the fifth year of Chongxi in the reign of Emperor Xingzong of Liao, in order to show that the Liao imperial examination was better than the Song imperial examination, the "Imperial Examination" was customized under the suggestion of the Han official Zhang Jian, and the "Imperial Examination" was customized. The Liao imperial examination was divided into four-level systems: provincial examination, provincial examination, and imperial examination.

Liao was a major country in the Central Plains and a country in the middle. Of course, the imperial examinations were one level higher than those in the Southern Song Dynasty...

"The Han Dynasty has different systems" is the national policy of Liao. Therefore, the Liao imperial examination is limited to Han people, mainly referring to the Han people in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and the Bohai Sea, and the Khitans are not allowed to take the election. The purpose is to prevent the Khitans from becoming a sinister, maintain the Khitans' brave and good warrior habits, so that they can grasp the military power for a long time so that the Han people cannot interfere in military affairs, and at the same time to appease the Han people in Liao.

To put it bluntly, the Liao imperial examination was designed to govern the Han people in the country. They rewarded you with three melons and two dates, so that they could be content with themselves. Therefore, after the Han people in Liao became the Jinshi, they had a background and could also get a half-off position. However, they were almost all small officials in the late stage, and their career paths were far different from those in the Song Jinshi.

After Shitou's father died of serious injuries, Shitou remembered his father's last words and couldn't help but start to consider his future. "Shitou's choice" is impossible. It is difficult for Shitou to obtain military merits and obtain a half-time position. Not to mention that there is no major war in the Khitan at present, even if the Khitan battles suddenly start, you, a 17-year-old boy, will probably be chopped into meat paste before you touch the edge of military merits.

The remaining road at this time is the road to the imperial examination.

Although the Liao imperial examination was set up for the Han people and Khitans were not allowed to be elected, the Khitans could still be elected as the Liao imperial examination with the kindness of His Majesty the Emperor. However, most Khitans believed from the heart that it was extremely embarrassing to be elected as the Khitans. If they lost the face of their ancestors, they would be kicked out of their family.

Even if Shitou ignored the words and received the emperor's favor and participated in the imperial examination, can Shitou become famous on the list by just relying on his little understanding of Sinology? The answer is no.

Therefore, Shi Tou reorganized his family and glorified his ancestors, and his father's path of reigning his father's will was completely blocked.

The more Shi Tou thought about it, he felt more depressed, so he grabbed a pair of bows and arrows, walked to the door of the felt tent, and shot the bow.

The arrow went into the meteor, and with a "bang", it nailed to a horse-tie tying pillar at the door. The feather arrow was three points into the wood, with great power. It was inserted into the horse-tie tying pillar and made a buzzing sound.

The horse-tie pillar was about eighty steps away from the door of the felt tent. A seventeen-year-old boy had this kind of shooting power, so he was good at shooting.

"Okay, okay, good arrow!" Shi Tou let out a random arrow, which scared several men who were about to enter Shi Tou's felt tent.

"What are you here to do?" Shi Tou frowned and asked when he saw that several men were not good at coming.

"What are you doing?" A strong man replied after hearing this: "I'm here to collect debts for Dashao?"

"Collection of debt? What debt?" Shi Tou asked.

"Your devil dad is a drunkard, don't you know? Of course I'm here to ask for money for wine." Another man smiled.

For grassland herders, wine is a relatively precious item, and most people drink it

Not to be able to afford it, sometimes a sheep may not be able to exchange for two pots of wine. Shitou's father was addicted to alcohol and owed a lot of money to wine.

"Wine money? What is the evidence?" Shi Tou asked with a snorted.

"You little lamb, you know a lot, you actually know the evidence?" A man had to take out a greasy sheepskin from his arms and pointed at the sheepskin and said, "Hey, this is the wine money your devil's father owes, but he has a ban on it."

There are only a few black finger marks on the sheepskin. It is impossible to know whether it is the banned by Shi Tou's father.

"What do you want?" Shi Tou asked after pondering for a moment.

Upon hearing this, the men looked at the dilapidated felt tents in Shi Tou's house, and all shook their heads secretly.

The Shitou family had only four walls. Apart from a dilapidated felt tent, there were several cattle and sheep, and there were not even horses. Two of the fat sheep were rewarded by Shitou's father after he was unfortunately shot by the emperor.

"Take all the cattle and sheep away." A man looked around again and said.

"Brother, this is not enough to lead cattle and sheep away, it's still far from it." said another Khitan man.

"Oh, that's it..." The man's eyes turned around the felt tent at Shi Tou's house again, and his eyes fell on Shi Tou's mother who had been scared to hide aside.

"This lady is still pretty. Just drag it away to pay for the wine." The man then smiled at Shi Tou's mother.

"Yes, yes, what my brother said is, it's worth three sheep."

The two men responded, walked forward and dragged their mother stone outwards.

"Stone, stone!" Shi Tou's mother cried toward Shi Tou and cried

This is the fate of grassland women. They can be poured over and over as goods at will, measured by the number of animals.

"Stop!" Shi Tou could not bear it anymore when he saw this, so he stopped several men and shouted angrily: "Dad's body is not cold, don't bully people too much!"

As soon as my father passed away, these people came to collect debts and even wanted to steal their mother. Shi Tou felt extremely angry.

"The corpse... what cold? What are you bullying...ah?" A Khitan man was confused and did not understand what Shi Tou meant for a moment...

"Idiot, you certainly don't understand what he said about Han'er." Another Khitan man had some knowledge, so he said.

"Little beast, get out!" A strong Khitan man suddenly pushed Shi Tou to the ground and pointed at Shi Tou and cursed: "I don't understand Chinese language, but I understand the principle of paying back the money. If your devil's father owes money for alcohol, he will treat it as using your mother to pay the debt. Are you not convinced? If you don't agree, go to Dashikan and talk to him."

After the Khitan men said that, they dragged Shi Tou's mother out of the felt tent without saying anything. Before leaving, they did not forget to take away the few cows and sheep left in Shi Tou's family.

"Stone..." Gun'er, who had been hiding aside with fear, finally dared to show his head and helped up the stone that fell to the ground.

I don’t know if it was scared or the reason, but at this time Gun’er was crying.

"Don't cry, Dad said, Tian Khan's descendants only shed blood, not shed tears." Shi Tou gritted his teeth and said, touching his arm that was hit with an extremely painful pain.

I am not a descendant of your Yelu family, Gun'er looks empty

The felt tent was even more sad, and the crying was even more powerful.

Shi Tou's father died of serious injury. Then the debt collector came to the door and snatched Shi Tou's mother and the only little property left in the family. It was a little worse. At this time, only two young men were left. Gun'er didn't know how to survive in the future.

"Gun'er, don't cry anymore..." Shi Tou was upset by Gun'er's cry, but he still comforted Gun'er.

Gun'er is a little younger than Shitou. On weekdays, Shitou regards himself as his elder brother.

"Shitou, all the things in the house have been stolen. In the future... how should we live in the future?" Gun'er said to Shitou sobbing.

"Whoever stole our things, we will snatch them back, and we will snatch them back twice as much. This is what my Khitan ancestors left behind!" Shi Tou replied lightly when he heard this.

"Give it back..." Gun'er said in a daze at the stone when he heard this.

...........

In Khitan, the meaning of the military officer who commands the troops and horses is a kind of official position, a military officer in Oludo, has many pastures, cattle, sheep, horses, slaves, etc., with a wealthy family and great power.

It has almost the same meaning as the Han people's rich man.

The felt tent that snatched Shitou's mother's mother was not far from Shitou's home, only about two miles away.

The felt tents in which Dashigan live are of course incomparable to the dilapidated felt tents in Shi Tou's home. The felt tents are spacious and comfortable. They are made of special wooden frames, wrapped with two to three layers of wool felt. Then they are tied up with a rope twisted by horse's hair or camel hair. The top of the tent is made of "Wu Nai" as a bracket and covered with "Bules" to form the shape of a sky curtain. The round spire is opened with a skylight "Clay Bottom" and the four square wool felt "Wu Rihe".

There are many horses outside the large felt tent. In the middle of the night, several oil lamps or candles were hung inside and outside the felt tent.

Whether it is an oil lamp or a candle, the cost is relatively expensive, and ordinary grassland herders cannot afford it.

It was late at night, and some oil lamps were lit inside and outside the felt tent, which complemented the stars in the sky.

At the same time, a whisper came from the felt tent. The people around him had long been accustomed to it. This is what their stings do every day. He would not sleep without being exhausted.

Two hours later, the tent finally became quiet, and then a snoring sound came. At this time, the people who were in charge of the sting were able to rest, so they all fell asleep. The person in charge of the guard was also holding weapons and leaning against the felt tent, and was also dozing off.

The long-term safety and safety caused the person who was guarding Dashidan to relax and paralyze, so no one noticed that two black shadows appeared behind the tent at this time.

After the black shadow emerged from the night sky, it quickly avoided the guards near the tent of Datshu dry felt tent. After sneaking to the tent, a black shadow then took out a sharp knife from his arms. The sharp blade of the sharp knife shone brightly under the moonlight, like a clear spring.

"Gun'er, look around." One of the black shadows was the Khitan stone, and the other black shadow was Gun'er. The stone took out a sharp knife and cut a hole on the felt tent and whispered to Gun'er.
