This innovation enabled more scholars who intended to be officials in Wenzhou to attend the imperial provincial examination. The Education Bill of Sanshe spread from provinces to prefectures and counties broadened the path for the scholars in Wenzhou during the first year of Congning, which abolished the identity prohibition for the Imperial Examination, and thus relieved their living burden.
