Imperial Examinations: The Top Scholar Grand Tutor Keeps Lifting Me Up

In his past life, Shen Zhiyan was an engineering PhD at a top Chinese university.

In this life, he transmigrates into a farming family in the Great Sheng dynasty.

A poor home, a biased grandmother, a dull father, and an uncle who fails the imperial examinations again and again...

In this era where all call learning the highest pursuit, Shen Zhiyan pushes out his uncle and steps onto the path of the imperial examinations!

He begins literacy at six.

He enters the exams at nine.

He rises all the way to the top, taking first place in every round, becoming the top scholar and unmatched under heaven!

At twenty, he creates matchlocks and cannons and reaches the pinnacle of power as a minister!

Poets and scholars adore his verses; wherever there is well water, one can sing Shen’s poems.

Generals are obsessed with his weapons; wherever there is war smoke, one can see cold gleam.

Even the proud eldest princess looks on him with favor!

The treasury is empty? This minister knows a little about salt and iron.

The aristocratic clans are arrogant? This minister knows a little about the art of confiscating their wealth.

Foreign enemies invade? This minister knows a little about gunpowder.

Shen Zhiyan uses the status of a civil official to punch the Tanguts and kick the Khitans, reclaiming the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun!

Wherever his banners point, there is Han land!

The officials tremble, and the emperor weeps.

The new emperor says, “My dear minister, that’s enough territory, enough...”

Shen Zhiyan says, “Don’t rush. I’ll take you all to beat up the little Japanese again.”

The new emperor: “Waaah, I got carried by the chief minister again...”
