According to the statistics of the various branches of the Tang Dynasty Daily, there were a total of 3,800 students who applied for the Yanhuang Academy. Even if they used the 50% reference rate, there would still be more than 1,900 students who came to take the exam!
This number was more than the number of examinees who came to Chang 'an every year.
The Imperial Exam of the Tang Dynasty was held in January or February every year. Generally, registration would start in November of the previous year. The exam location was at the Southern Courtyard of the Ministry of Rites of the Shangshu Province. The examiner was the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites.
Generally, the number of examinees who came to Chang 'an for the exam every year was around 1,000. At its peak, it could reach 2,000 examinees. However, Li Zexuan's academy was able to attract 4,000 examinees. One had to say that his publicity work was really on point.
In many people's eyes, Yanhuang College's entrance exam was second only to the Imperial Exam. After all, the Imperial Exam had a limited number of examinees (Ming Jing could not exceed 100 examinees, Jinshi could not exceed 30 examinees). Yanhuang College didn't seem to have any restrictions as long as one could pass the exam.
After entering Yanhuang College, one could use the Yanhuang College's mathematics to participate in the Imperial Exam. If one failed, one could use engineering to earn money to support his family and become a rich man. Or, one could invent a divine artifact. Like Li Zexuan, one could directly become a baron from a commoner and reach the pinnacle of life!
Of course, there were fewer people who took the Imperial Exam than the Yanhuang College's entrance exam. Another reason was the threshold.
The threshold for the Imperial Exam was obviously much higher than the threshold for Yanhuang College. The examinees who took the Imperial Exam came from two sources. The examinees who took the Imperial Exam came from Shengtu and Xianggong. There were many subjects in the Imperial Exam. According to the examinees' conditions and the content of the exam, they were divided into Xiucai, Ming Jing, Jinshi, Ming Fa, Ming Jing, etc. Shengtu were the examinees who passed the entrance exam of the Imperial College (Imperial College, Hongwen Institute, Chongwen Institute) and various institutes. Xiang Gong, on the other hand, was a person who had passed the capital and state examinations. They were also known as High Scholars. They had to be recommended by someone. (The examinees who came to the capital for the imperial examinations had to find a backer, hoping to be recognized by others.)
Therefore, it wasn't until the Kaiyuan Age that the number of examinees participating in the imperial examination finally broke through the 2,000 mark. This number was far less than the number of examinees in the Song Dynasty (in the fifth year of Zhenzong Xianping of the Northern Song Dynasty, there were more than 44,000 examinees in the imperial capital).
In comparison, the threshold for Yanhuang College's entrance exam was much lower. As long as one had a basic understanding of the Four Books and Five Classics, and then delved into new mathematics, it was very likely that one would be admitted. There was no need to go to the top of the school, give gifts, or "give red packets", and so on. Naturally, the number of people applying for the exam was much higher.
After walking for about half an hour, Li Zexuan finally arrived at Qujiang Square with Li Anren.
"Haha! You're finally here! How rude of you to make us two old bones wait for a junior like you for so long ~! "
When they arrived at the Li family's house, Li Gang heard someone knocking on the door and came to open it. When he saw Li Zexuan, he couldn't help but laugh.
Li Zexuan hurriedly clasped his hands and apologized, "I was delayed by something on the way here, please don't blame me for it ~!"
After saying that, he saw three men in brown linen clothes following behind Li Gang. One of them was slightly older, estimated to be in his forties or fifties. His hair was faintly silver, and his face was serious. His skin was slightly dark, and there were many wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. He was tall and gave off a strong impression. However, why did this person look like a laborer and not a teacher ~? Why did Li Gang invite him over ~? Could it be that he guessed wrong ~?
The other two people were slightly younger, but they were a little thin, and belonged to the kind of people who were only skin and bones. At first glance, it was obvious that they were malnourished and often suffered hardships. However, the aura of these two young people was actually at the early stage of Qi Refining. This really surprised Li Zexuan.
"Sir, who are these people ~?"
Li Zexuan looked at the three of them and asked Li Gang.
Although these three people didn't look like teachers from their appearance, Li Zexuan still had to ask out of politeness and respect. Moreover, he wasn't a person who cared about appearance. For men, as long as they didn't look scary and were capable, he didn't care about whether they were handsome or not ~! Cough cough, when it came to women, he still paid a little attention to appearance.
"Haha ~! Let's talk inside ~! "
Li Gang laughed and led them into the front hall. When they entered the room, they felt a trace of coolness. Li Zexuan smiled slightly. This was the ice that Li Gang had asked his subordinates to send to Li Gang's house every day after Li Gang agreed to work at Yanhuang College. It could be considered an exclusive benefit from the college ~!
After they sat down, Li Gang raised his hand and laughed. "Haha ~! Little Xuan, let me introduce you. This is the 45th generation of the Mo Family, Mr. Mo Huai. These two are the younger generation of Mr. Mo's family. They are Mo Zhong and Mo Yun. Brother Mo, this is Li Zexuan that this old man told you about. Don't be fooled by his young age, his ability is not small at all ~! "
After Li Gang finished speaking, Li Zexuan's eyes widened in shock. There was a huge wave in his heart ~!
The Mo Family, the Mo Family's giant, this top school or top organization that originated from the Warring States Period, its leader actually looked like this ~? And sat in front of him ~?
The Mo Family's giant ~! In The Legend of Qin, the Mo Family's giant, the Six-fingered Black Warrior, wore a black cloak and held an ink plum that looked like a sword but not an attack. He had black eyebrows without a sharp edge and was all-powerful. Even the five elders of the Yin-Yang School could not take him down. There was also the third generation of the Mo Family's giant, the mysterious Yan Dan. What kind of existence was that? Why did the Mo Family's giant in front of him look so unsophisticated ~?
Even if he was a low-level version of the Six-fingered Black Warrior, he would not be so low-level ~?
Also, the Mo Family's chivalry was so strong. From the Qin Dynasty to the Han Dynasty, the various rulers had never stopped suppressing the Mo Family. Under such an environment, how could the Mo Family survive until the Tang Dynasty ~? Li Zexuan did not read about this in his previous life. His understanding of the Mo Family was still limited to the anime of The Legend of Qing Dynasty. As for the status of the Mo Family in the Tang Dynasty, he had no idea at all.
"Greetings to Mr. Mo and the two Brothers Mo ~!"
With a stomach full of questions, Li Zexuan cupped his hands and greeted the three of them. ,
"I'm just a villager in the mountains. I can't accept the courtesy of Mr. Li ~!"
Mo Huai's cheeks moved slightly as he said with a solemn expression. There was no trace of a smile on his wrinkled old face.
Li Zexuan's mouth twitched. This old man was not someone who was easy to get along with ~! That's right, he was the giant of the Mo Family. How could he become a teacher so easily ~? Looks like my mission today is not easy ~!
Heh ~! This is the first collision of modern and ancient scientific knowledge, right ~? Let's see who's stronger and who's weaker ~!
Li Zexuan thought maliciously in his heart.
His principle in life was that if others were not convinced, then he would torture them until they were convinced ~!
