According to statistics compiled by the editorial department of Datang Daily, there are more than 3,800 students applying for the Yanhuang Academy this time. Even if the reference rate is 50%, they will not come to take the exam. There are more than 1,900 students~!
This number is basically larger than the number of candidates who come to Chang'an to take the imperial examination every year.
The imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty were held on a certain day in January or February of each year, and registration generally started in November of the previous year. The examination location is Gongyuan, South Campus of the Ministry of Rites of Shangshu Province, and the examiner is the Minister of Rites.
Generally speaking, the number of candidates who come to Chang'an City for reference every year is about one thousand, and at its peak it may reach more than two thousand. However, an academy run by Li Zexuan can actually attract nearly four thousand students to sign up. It has to be said His publicity work was really good.
In the eyes of many people, the entrance examination of Yanhuang Academy is second only to the imperial examination. After all, the number of admissions for the imperial examination is limited (no more than 100 people can be admitted to the Ming Dynasty examination, and no more than 30 people can be admitted to the Jinshi examination). There seems to be no admission test for Yanhuang Academy. There is no quota limit, as long as you can pass the exam.
After entering Yanhuang Academy, you can take advantage of the arithmetic subjects of Yanhuang Academy to take the imperial examination. If you leave, you can use engineering to earn money to support your family, become a rich man, or invent a magical weapon that will benefit the world. Like Li Zexuan, you can be directly named a baron by a commoner. , reaching the pinnacle of life~!
Of course, there are fewer people taking the scientific examination than those taking the Yanhuang Academy entrance exam. Another reason is the threshold issue.
The threshold of the imperial examination is obviously much higher than that of Yanhuang Academy. There are generally two sources of candidates for the imperial examination. Candidates for the regular subjects include students and rural tributes. There are many subjects in the regular subjects. They are divided into scholars according to the conditions of the candidates and the content of the examination. , Ming Jing, Jin Shi, Ming Fa, Ming Shu, Ming Suan and other subjects. Students are students who have passed the entrance examinations at the Imperial College (Guozixue, Hongwen Hall, and Chongwen Hall) and various schools. Xianggong are people who have passed the prefectural and state examinations, also known as juren. They must be recommended by someone (candidates who come to Beijing to take the exam have to go to the dock to find a backer, hoping to be recognized by others).
Therefore, it was not until the prosperous age of Kaiyuan that the number of candidates taking the scientific examination exceeded 2,000. This number was far less than that of the Song Dynasty (in the fifth year of Xianping, Emperor Zhenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, the number of candidates who took the imperial examination gathered in the capital reached 44,000 multiple people).
Comparatively speaking, the entrance examination threshold for Yanhuang Academy is much lower. As long as you have a preliminary understanding of the Four Books and Five Classics, and then delve into new arithmetic, you are very likely to be admitted. There is no need for you to go to the mountain to give gifts. By "stuffing red envelopes" and so on, the number of people applying will naturally increase.
After walking for about two-quarters of an hour, Li Zexuan finally arrived at Qujiangfang with Li Anren.
"Haha~! Your kid is finally here~! It's so rude of you to let us two old bones wait for you, a junior, for so long~!"
Arriving at Li's house, Li Gang came to open the courtyard door after hearing the knock on the door. When he saw Li Zexuan, he couldn't help but laugh.
Li Zexuan quickly handed over his hands and apologized: "I encountered some delays on the way, sir, please don't blame me~!"
After that, he saw three men in brown linen clothes coming out behind Li Gang. One of them was a little older, estimated to be in his forties or fifties. There was a hint of silver in his hair. His face was serious, his skin was slightly dark, and his eyes were slightly dark. He has many wrinkles and is tall, giving people a strong and powerful impression, but why does this person look like a working people instead of a teacher~? Why did Li Gang invite him here~? Did you guess wrong~?
The other two people are a little younger and a little thin. They are skinny and skinny. They appear to be malnourished and often suffer hardships. However, the aura of these two young people has actually reached the early stage of Qi transformation. This is really shocking. Li Zexuan was slightly surprised.
"Sir, who are these~?"
Li Zexuan looked at the three of them and asked Li Gang.
Although these three people are not comparable to the teacher in appearance, Li Zexuan still has to ask out of politeness and respect. Besides, he is not a member of the Appearance Association. For men, as long as they are not intimidating and capable, That's it, he has no idea whether he is handsome or not~! Ahem, when it comes to women, he still pays a little attention to appearance.
"Haha~! Let's talk in the house first~!"
Li Gang laughed and led a few people into the front hall. As soon as they entered the room, they felt a bit of coolness. Li Zexuan smiled slightly. This was the ice that he asked the people below to send to Li Gang's family every day after Li Gang agreed to work at Yanhuang Academy. Yes, it can be regarded as the academy’s exclusive benefit for this old man~!
After a few people sat down, Li Gang raised his hand and said with a smile: "Haha~! Xiaoxuan, I'm here to introduce you. This is Mr. Mo Huai, the 45th generation giant of the Mo family. Both of them are from Mr. Mo's family. The juniors are named Mo Zhong and Mo Yun respectively. Brother Mo, this is the Li Zexuan that I told you about. Even though he is young, his abilities are not small at all~!"
After Li Gang said that, Li Zexuan's eyes widened in shock, and there was really a huge wave in his heart~!
The Mohist family, the Mohist giant, this top school or top organization that originated in the Warring States Period, its leader actually looks like this~? Still sitting in front of him~?
Mohist giant! In Qin Shi Mingyue, the six-fingered black knight of the Mohist family wears a black cloak and holds a black plum. He looks like a sword but does not attack. His black eyebrows have no edge. He is so powerful that even the five elders of the Yin and Yang family could not defeat him together; there is also a third party. Ren Juzi, mysterious and unpredictable, and Yan Dan, the dragon that sees its head but never ends, are all such arrogant and cool existences. Why does the Mohist giant in front of him look so earthy~?
Even the low-profile version of the Six-Fingered Black Man is not so low-profile, right?
Also, the Mohist family was so chivalrous that from the pre-Qin Dynasty to the Han Dynasty, various rulers never stopped suppressing the Mohist family. Under such an environment, could the Mohist family still be passed down to the Tang Dynasty~? Li Zexuan had never seen any information on this in his previous life, and his understanding of the Mohist family was only in the cartoons of Mingyue during the Qing Dynasty. As for the status of the Mohist family in the Tang Dynasty, he had no idea at all.
"I've seen Mr. Mo and two Brother Mo~!"
With a lot of questions in his heart, Li Zexuan cupped his hands at the three of them. ,
"I'm just a villager from the mountains, but I can't afford the gift of a man from Li County~!"
Mo Huai's cheeks moved slightly and he said solemnly. There was no smile on his wrinkled old face.
Li Zexuan's mouth twitched, secretly thinking that this old guy is not an easy character to get along with~! Yes, he is a giant of the Mohist family, how can he easily become a teacher~? It seems that my task today is not easy~!
Hey~! Is this the first collision between modern scientific knowledge and ancient scientific knowledge~? Then let’s see who is strong and who is weak~!
Li Zexuan thought with some evil intentions.
His rule of life is that if others don't accept it, then torture them until they do~!
