What are the conditions for making a seven-product county magistrate?

In the Ming dynasty, it was necessary to be a scholar to be a county magistrate. Of course, some lucky juren could also be a county magistrate.

If you are a scholar, you will take the exam once every three years and be divided into three grades. The first three levels are called Jinshi Ji, which is the so-called "champion, champion".

Then a number of people in the first and second grades, usually the top students in the first and second grades, will stay in Beijing as Beijing officials, and then those behind the second and third grades will be appointed as local officials, usually starting with county orders.

Juren can of course also be an official. Those who pass the exam in the province are called juren, and they also take the exam once every three years. Only by passing the exam can you enter Beijing to take the Jinshi exam.

It doesn't matter if you don't get into Jinshi, you can still be an official. You can be a small official like Xian Cheng or some education officials first, because in the past, a county could not rely entirely on the county magistrate's office, and other officials at the eighth and ninth levels could be appointed as juries. If you do well, you can be promoted to county magistrate. For example, Harry, a juren, began to be an education officer in a county. Because of his good work performance, he was promoted to the county magistrate, and then someone promoted him. Finally, the emperor appreciated him, and the biggest official in the end was the second-class ministerial official ~

The Qing dynasty was similar ~

Then before the Ming Dynasty, it was slightly different. In addition to the imperial examination, there is also a way to be elected by the people. For example, in the Song Dynasty, if people in the county thought you were better, they would recommend you to the court, and the court would also seal the official position, but there was no such thing as grade at that time.

Further on, when there was no imperial examination, in addition to being elected by the people, the children of princes and nobles were directly appointed as officials.
