Catch the exam and take photos on the road.

In ancient times, candidates who took exams in Beijing would carry a lot of travelling expenses with them. Why didn't the mountain thief rob it? Speaking of mountain thieves, I believe everyone is familiar with them. They can often be seen in many costume dramas. They regard mountains as kings, plunder passers-by for a living, burn and rob, and do evil. But what everyone doesn't know is that mountain thieves also have their own strict rules. There is a kind of person who is forbidden to rob. This is the candidate who went to Beijing to take the exam. Why?

It is said that once upon a time, mountain thieves paid attention to seven without taking eight without robbing. The third one is not a candidate who rushed to Beijing to take the exam or a postman in the post office. In ancient times, the traffic was underdeveloped, so it took a long time to go to Beijing for an exam. It usually takes three or four months to walk, and it is possible to walk for half a year. The long journey will pass through the deep mountains and old waters of villages and towns, and there will not be only wind and frost along the way.

First of all, we must understand that according to the ancient imperial examination system, those who can take the exam in Beijing are not ordinary people, but all juren. Only Juren is eligible to take the exam in Beijing, and Juren's identity is different from that of ordinary people. In ancient times, there was a saying of poor scholar, but we have never heard of the saying of poor juren, because juren is often called master and can enjoy the welfare of the court. Even a juror can replace an official. Taking the exam in Beijing is a top priority for the imperial court.

For the imperial court, if the life of Juren cannot be guaranteed, the prestige of the imperial court will be shaken. If juren is robbed by mountain thieves, it is equivalent to hitting the court in the face and robbing these people 100% to get the loyalist. At this point, mountain thieves will never die in order to snatch this petty profit from juren.

Secondly, if a juren who is rushing for the exam has an accident on the road, the local local officials can't escape, losing their jobs for their own future, and they are not allowed to grab candidates on their own turf. If a bandit who lies with his eyes open does something stupid that affects the future of local officials, regardless of the court, those local officials will not hesitate to raise a butcher's knife at the bandit.

Moreover, although bandits are bandits, they are moral. In ancient times, many bandits were forced by life and couldn't eat in times of famine. When they are cornered, they can only become bandits. Therefore, generally speaking, they only rob wealthy businessmen. If they rob the scholar of his travel expenses, then the scholar can't go to Beijing to catch the exam. If you study hard at a cold window for ten years, you will study for nothing, and bandits will be laughed at by other peers, because in ancient times, the whole society was a scholar.

Finally, they are afraid of retaliation from candidates. The candidates who take the exam in Beijing are all top talents selected from all over the country. They are all excellent. If you take the official career after being the top scholar, you will be a senior official. When they are able to do the first thing, they will definitely come back for revenge. This is not afraid of 10 thousand, just in case. Therefore, mountain thieves are unwilling to take this risk and rob those candidates who take the exam in Beijing.
