The city's exam starts between May 10th and 15th, and it's over 300 miles from Liu Family Village to the Prefecture. At the pace of a carriage, if they don't want to tire themselves out, it will take four to five days.
Including the preparation time needed upon arrival, departing ten days in advance is the most suitable.
Now that the farm work at home is mostly done, Qin Yao and Liu Ji start preparing for the trip to the Prefecture.
After all, it's their first time traveling far, and Qin Yao is a little excited.
They have a carriage at home, but considering they might have to sleep outdoors along the way, they'll need to prepare a tent.
This is something that traveling merchants need most. It's sold in town, but it's not cheap; an oilcloth tent costs eight hundred coins.
These eight hundred coins will get them a tent less than two or five meters long and less than one and a half meters wide.
