Originally, more than 20,000 students were admitted in one national examination around the world.
It is already extremely difficult, and those who can pass the exam are the elite among the elite.
However, in this era, the examination was held only once every three years, and only three to four thousand people were admitted each time.
There are only about one to two hundred people in each province for each provincial examination!
This is evident from this ratio alone.
I don’t know how many people have been taking exams all their lives but still failed to pass the exam!
This Wang Youxun was less than twenty at most, and he had already passed the Juren Examination. Of course a sensible person would know how difficult this is!
Tao Xiaowu was thinking in his heart, his expression remained unchanged, he pointed at Ye Yunzhang and said to Wang Youxun: "This is Mr. Ye Yunzhang, you have come to see him too."
Wang Youxun was also suddenly moved. He didn't expect that the old man in front of him, whom he thought he had been deceived at first, was actually the famous national player Ye Yunzhang.
Although the Ye family is famous for its medical skills, it is still a family of scholar-bureaucrats and will not be regarded as a lowly profession...
A simple official would naturally not be taken seriously by the scholar-officials.
But it is different if the family of a scholar-bureaucrat is also a doctor.
The so-called good doctor is not a good appearance!
If you can't heal the country, then you can heal people.
Especially in this era, among the scholar-bureaucrats, there were still many people who were resistant to Jingren's court and unwilling to serve Jingren.
Those who live in seclusion in the city, do not become officials, and turn to medicine will be respected by scholars!
Again, if the entire scholar-bureaucrat group completely merges with Jingren, it will be up to them to defend the famous religion after the heavenly army rises.
Of course, this famous teaching is not that famous teaching. This famous teaching is the teaching of fame.
That is what Confucianism means!
Therefore, learning medical skills by oneself is also a good thing among scholar-bureaucrats.
Especially when it comes to people like the Ye family, whose medical skills are as good as life and death, they are even more respected!
Although Ye Yunzhang's medical skills are not as good as those of his father, he still has a great reputation and is respected by people.
Wang Youxun knew Ye Yunzhang's identity and immediately bowed respectfully to him as a junior.
Ye Yunzhang smiled and said: "Little friends, you don't have to be polite. As the saying goes, a young phoenix is as clear as an old phoenix, and the waves behind you in the Yangtze River push the waves ahead."
Young and promising young people like Xiaoyou will be the pillars of the future.
I am old and decayed, and I am not worthy of being a Taoist.
Not to mention, you have already become a disciple of the real person.
I also seek advice from real people, after all, we are all members of the same family!"
Wang Youxun hurriedly humbled himself, and his confidence in Tao Xiaowu became stronger and stronger.
The Ye family has superb medical skills and is good at alchemy, and has long been famous throughout the world.
Even Ye Yunzhang is sincerely convinced by Tao Xiaowu. Tao Xiaowu's ability is naturally genuine and will never be questioned again!
It was difficult to say anything on the road at this time, so the two people cooperated and continued on their way together.
Just like no force can be monolithic.
The Confucian scholar-bureaucrat group is also average, although it has the power to resist people and is unwilling to cooperate.
But he also has the power to be bribed by Jingren...
After all, the foundation of a Confucian family is to serve as an official in the imperial examination.
Jingren has ruled for more than a hundred years, and his foundation has been solid.
Only they could provide channels for taking the imperial examination and becoming officials, which would naturally make a large number of scholar-bureaucrats bend their backs.
Even families that were unwilling to cooperate with Jing Ren would send their children to take the imperial examination in order to maintain their family reputation.
Of course, after obtaining the title, whether you sincerely serve or not is another matter!
In short, the mainstream trend of thought in the academic world in this era, turning to epigraphy and stone science, is an attitude of non-cooperation with the official.
The Jiumu Wang family is a family that cooperates with the Jingren court. It has prospered in recent years, and several generations have been born as Jinshi.
Therefore, it is not surprising that this Wang Youxun was admitted to the Juren Examination and even later became a famous minister in Jingting!
Not to mention, Tao Xiaowu poached Wang Youxun in advance and recruited him into his camp!
Moreover, the Jiumu Wang family is also quite powerful.
Although such a famous family in the imperial examination is not as powerful as the Han family, which is a super powerful business family, it still has great influence in the local area.
Tao Xiaowu can also use Wang Youxun to find a way to pull the entire Jiumu Wang family onto his chariot!
At this time, by accepting Wang Youxun as his disciple, Tao Xiaowu suddenly had new ideas.
Perhaps Tao Xiaowu can win over powerful local families from all over the world.
"These families are very powerful in various places. It will be fine if I can successfully get Yujue back during my trip to the capital.
If it doesn't go well, then I will have to take the human route.
Find a way to conquer the Han family, get financial resources, and then go to a remote place to form an army.
Then conquer these local families!
When the time comes, the rebels come together and the world responds, then the Jingren court will naturally end up in complete collapse!"
Originally, Tao Xiaowu had not set his sights on these local wealthy people.
At this time, I found that I was uniquely endowed and could use other means besides military struggle...
Although military means are king, it has to be said that for Tao Xiaowu, the results are too slow!
"It is still necessary to use various means, and every means must be prepared. This is called being prepared!"
Tao Xiaowu made up his mind.
Looking at Ye Yunzhang again, he suddenly smiled and said: "Mr. Ye, did you just say that you must achieve greatness at all costs?"
Ye Yunzhang was immediately overjoyed. He quickly got off his horse, prostrated himself on the ground, and said, "Disciple is willing!"
Tao Xiaowu said: "You have to think about it, although my pill fire method can make up for your shortcomings and allow you to step into the great road.
But this power comes from me after all. If you get my elixir fire, even if you achieve success in the future, you will only be my dependent!"
Ye Yunzhang was even more delighted and said: "This disciple is not very qualified, and after decades of practice, he can only barely strengthen his body.
Now that the master is willing to teach me the great way, isn’t it a matter of course to serve the master?”
Tao Xiaowu nodded slightly and said: "In that case, if you stay here tonight, you come to me and I will teach you the elixir fire!"
Ye Yunzhang was overjoyed to say goodbye.
Wang Youxun was filled with envy when he heard this, but he did not speak.
He has just accepted Tao Xiaowu as his disciple, but he is a registered disciple and considers that he is still in the probation period, so naturally he will not ask Tao Xiaowu rashly.
He also deeply agreed with Ye Yunzhang's choice.
The saying that I would rather be the head of a chicken than the queen of a cow would be said by people who have no chance to be a queen of a cow.
Given the opportunity to serve as officials and court officials, how many people want to start their own business, overthrow the court, and become emperor themselves?
There have always been rebellions, and most of them were forced to start their own businesses because they had no chance to become officials!
Which one of Huang Chao and Hong Xiuquan is not a down-and-out scholar? Who failed to pass the imperial examination?
