The next day, the graduates of the four schools also began to graduate, and then they went back to their respective homes to find their own mothers, and then each of them made a living on their own, and from then on began their official careers. ≧, in the past ten years, they have been studying, and now they are all reading and have achieved results. And Zhang Chao knows that no matter what they do, their achievements must not be low. And Zhang Chao knew that he had taught them the career plan at the end, which was very important knowledge. Their achievements in the future will definitely not be low, because there are very few people who can have a career plan in this era, almost not many at all. Where do ordinary people plan their careers, and those who really plan their careers are those who have a certain culture and can calculate the enemy. They were generally gentlemen, but there were also some merchants. However, many businessmen do not have this ability, so they will plan their careers, and their achievements will not be low. So Zhang Chao taught them, that is, so that they can go to the pinnacle of all walks of life.

Zhang Chao believes that whether they take the career path, or go to the landlord industry, or go to any other industry, they have enough culture and learn to plan their careers, and they can also develop very smoothly. As long as it can go to the peak of all walks of life, it is the peak of an industry, and the influence is not small. Don't look at these industries may be inconspicuous, but once the entire industry is in your hands, the influence of such an outbreak is not small.

"Li Tianya, there is still half a year before the imperial examination, what are you going to do next?" Zhang Chao asked.

Li Tianya took the initiative to say: "Dr. Zhang, I plan to travel in Chang'an and have a long experience. As long as we can learn a lot, then we will definitely get good benefits. When Dr. Zhang was studying in the four disciplines, he also taught me that it is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles. So I'm going to see the outside world! Half a year later, I came back to participate in the imperial examination. If the imperial examination can be taken to become an official, then I will find a way to benefit the people. ”

Zhang Chao said: "Do you want to be admitted to the imperial examination? ”

"Of course!" Li Tianya said.

These students also dream of being able to be admitted to the imperial examination! They now hope that they have finally got the opportunity to participate in the imperial examination, so this may be the only time in their lives that they will take the imperial examination, so can they not aspire to it? This is their chance to change the fate of their lives. So this is also what they hope to be able to get into.

Zhang Chao said; "What if I could guarantee a ninety percent chance of your passing?"

"What?" Li Tianya asked in shock.

Li Tianya really didn't expect that Zhang Chao would be able to guarantee that the probability of them passing was ninety percent, which was an unimaginable thing. In the imperial court, no official can guarantee that the probability of a certain person passing the imperial examination is ninety percent, and I am afraid that Emperor Li Shimin may not be able to do this condition. But Zhang Chao was able to have this guarantee, which made Li Tianya extremely excited in his heart. Because if what Zhang Chao said is true, then it may be almost certain that they will become court officials in the future. So they all really started to get excited in their hearts, and they obviously all felt that if what Zhang Chao said was true. Then their opportunity to change the fate of their lives has also come.

Isn't it just to change their class and become the ruling class? But now there are people who can make absolute guarantees to them, and they really don't know how to describe it. It seems that the conditions they look forward to for a lifetime are so easy to achieve, which is unimaginable. Unless you can buy off the examiner, you can't do it at all. But is it possible for Zhang Chao to buy the examiner, and will Zhang Chao buy the examiner for them? This is clearly a no. Zhang Chao wouldn't do this kind of thing, so they didn't know what Zhang Chao wanted to do to get them to pass the exam.

"Dr. Zhang. Please teach me too! Li Tianya said.

Zhang Chao also brought these students who were preparing to take the imperial examination to his home, and then began to discuss with them at the round table. Zhang Chao naturally hopes to be able to make them all admitted to the imperial examination. Because they have all learned the four subjects by themselves, and they are still their own students, they are an important reserve force for themselves. Therefore, Zhang Chao naturally hoped that they would all be able to be admitted to the imperial examination, because if about 20 officials could be added every year, even if one-tenth could be promoted to a fifth-rank official, and then one percent could be promoted to a fourth-rank official. In this way, it is completely possible to build a network all over the officialdom in 20 years.

As long as the acceptance rate can be guaranteed, then sooner or later you will be able to place enough people in this officialdom. The establishment of all the official positions in Datang is only more than 10,000 official positions, if you can simply hold on to it for 20 years. Those more than 400 officials entered the officialdom. At that time, coupled with officials who obtained admission through other channels, then his own faction could be completely spread all over the world. Of course, this is only theoretical, and there will be a certain amount of loss in detail, and it cannot be calculated completely according to this method.

When talking about these students' career plans, Zhang Chao is actually making a plan for the development of forces, and he can achieve a certain level of planning. Even, it is necessary to dig up the foundation of the scholars in the economic aspect, and strike at the scholars in the economic and cultural officialdom, so that the scholars can really disappear from the historical stage.

"First of all, I want to tell you that after you become officials, you will accept the filth of officialdom. You may still think of officialdom as a place to eat mixed rice, and then as a place that looks very good, right? You may not know the sinister nature of officialdom. So, before you enter officialdom, are you sure you really want to enter officialdom? If you want to be an official, but you must not only accept the true, good, and beautiful side of this, but also be able to accept these false, evil and ugly sides, are you really ready? Zhang Chao asked.

When Zhang Chao was an official in later generations, he saw too many stunned young people who broke into officialdom directly. They all know the benefits of being an official, and they all think that being an official is good, has a social status, has good benefits, has a high salary, has privileges, and so on. However, the vast majority of people seriously ignore whether they are suitable for officials. Is it acceptable to those ugly phenomena in officialdom? So Zhang Chao first had to give them a lesson, and then give them a vaccination. Otherwise, once these stunned young people rashly enter the officialdom, they may all be brushed off in the first round. Zhang Chao doesn't want to send some incompetent people or people who have no official potential to be sent to the officialdom, which will definitely cause heavy losses. At that time, the people who spent a lot of resources to support them ended up with no use at all, and then they didn't know which corner they were sent to. That's a huge loss.

"Dr. Zhang, is it sinister in officialdom?" Li Tianya asked.

"Yes! It is very sinister, although the examination method is now implemented, but the examination method does not mean that it can be truly implemented fairly. The system is carried out by people, if the crooked monk recites the wrong scriptures, then what can you do? Just like the Jiupin Zhongzheng system back then, you should all know something. This nine-grade Zhongzheng system that allowed the rise of the scholars, there was not a word in the whole article to help the scholars, but the scholars rose because of this. In fact, it is a person who implements the system crookedly. Let the scholars serve as the central officials, so that is the factor for the rise of the scholars. There are no cold people in the upper grades, and there are no scholars in the lower grades, which is actually the result of the crooked implementation of a system. So, once you enter the officialdom, it means fighting, it means competing with others for resources. Have you ever thought about how to fight with others? Zhang Chao asked.

Li Tianya shook his head, obviously not thinking of these things. But Zhang Chao can also understand. Because too many people have never thought about how to fight with others before, many people may think that this is something that can be considered by entering the officialdom. But Zhang Chao can know it with his own personal experience. Many times, it is very important to plan ahead. If you are not prepared before entering the officialdom, it is easy to fall victim to the first wave of battle. Officialdom is like a battlefield, and the battlefield is the most and fastest to die, that is, those recruits who are not prepared at all, and officialdom is resolute.

So. Zhang Chao still wants to familiarize them with officialdom before they enter the officialdom and let them know all kinds of sinister situations in the officialdom. Only if they can really survive the first round, then their lives and careers will be much smoother. As long as they can survive the first hurdle in officialdom, then they will not be "recruits" in the future. It's totally possible to become a veteran. Only by becoming a veteran can you step by step go to the top and become a "general".

"In the next six months, I will tell you some things in officialdom, and you have to be prepared. If you can't accept it, then I ask you to take the initiative to consider whether you can really be an official. If you can't be an official, don't force it, I won't discriminate against you. Because 360 lines of work are champions, no matter which line you do, you can contribute to the people and leave a career for yourself in this world, and you don't have to hang yourself on the tree of officialdom. Zhang Chao said.

However, Li Tianya still asked: "Dr. Zhang, how can we pass with a probability of 90%?" How can you pass, if you can't pass, then what you said above is nonsense! So, please also ask Dr. Zhang to tell us how we can pass the imperial examination, so that we can all be prepared! ”

"Yes! Dr. Zhang, how can you pass the imperial examination for politicians? "Dr. Zhang, you still tell us how to pass the imperial examination!" "Dr. Zhang, how can you pass this imperial examination, can you tell me?" ……

These students are obviously more concerned about how to pass the imperial examination. If you can't pass the imperial examination, it's useless even if you're familiar with officialdom! The imperial examination is a stepping stone, and if you can't succeed in entering the industry, then you have no hope at all. Their current mentality is like that of those who have heard that they can pass 100% of the civil service exams, and everyone wants to know what to do. If you can master this method, will you be able to master this method in the future, so that your descendants will also be able to master this method, so that more people can get this opportunity?

"Let me introduce you to the method, the subjects you participate in are all Jinshi courses, right?" Zhang Chao asked.

Li Tianya replied; "Yes, it's all Jinshike!"

"Thirty old Ming Jing, fifty young jinshi. In other words, if you are thirty years old and are admitted to the Ming Jing Department, that is, you are old, and it is already too late. And fifty young jinshi, that is to say, fifty years old to be admitted to the jinshi, that is still young, you can imagine how difficult it is to get into the jinshi subject! Zhang Chao said first.

And when they heard this, everyone was also a little pale, because if fifty young jinshi. That's going to be really difficult. The normal life expectancy of the Tang Dynasty was about 50 years old, and the normal life expectancy of the vast majority of Tang Dynasty people was also about 50 years old. Therefore, this is the truth that the age of fifty is the truth of knowing the destiny of heaven, and at the age of fifty, it is also a person's normal lifespan, which is twenty years shorter than the average life expectancy of later generations. If fifty is a "less" jinshi, then maybe you won't be able to get into this jinshi for the rest of your life. So now that she heard this, she was very nervous in her heart.

"Actually. The reason why it is difficult to get into the Jinshi course is because they are assessing strategy. Argument is to evaluate your approach to solving problems, so this is very difficult. You don't have experience as an official, so it's very difficult for you to evaluate those methods that the imperial court can't solve! ”

Zhang Chao thinks that the Jinshi examination in the Tang Dynasty is really sad, because the Jinshi examination in the Tang Dynasty is not like the assessment of the eight strands of literature in the Ming and Qing dynasties, but the assessment of strategy. However, the strategy is not necessarily easier than the eight-strand text, or even more difficult. Because he was a political problem raised by the Tang Dynasty and not solved by several Tang court officials, they were all handed over to those candidates for answers. In fact, this Jinshi course is not so much an exam. It is better to say that it is a question from the Tang Dynasty to ordinary candidates. The examination of the Jinshi Department is actually that the Tang Dynasty takes out some unsolvable questions and sends them to the candidates for assessment, and then lets those people answer them. However, none of those candidates have any experience as officials, and they have no so-called governing experience at all, so it must be very difficult for them to answer questions that even the veterans of officialdom have not been able to solve. There is certainly not much that these candidates can do, because they don't have any experience in governing anymore.

To answer this difficult question, you have to answer the idea and be able to be targeted. It's not easy to really solve the problem. None of these candidates have any experience in government. How can it be easy to answer well, and then really solve the problem. Such a thing is simply impossible, so perhaps without experience as an official, their ability to solve problems is naturally very poor. Therefore, this Jinshike is completely a pit, allowing a group of people with no experience in governing to solve problems that even those officialdom veterans can't solve. Isn't this a pit?

"Now, I will tell you a method, and I will teach you the skill of answering this argument. You have a very important skill in answering this strategy, and then you can easily pass this method. This method. That's what I used back then! This method is also known as writing a deuteronomy. Zhang Chao said.

"Dr. Zhang, what is Shen Lun?" Li Tianya asked.

"Deuteronomy, that is, ......"

Zhang Chao began to introduce a lot of content about the civil service examination in later generations, and this made many students wonderful. Because for Zhang Chao, this so-called strategy is actually the ancient version of the argument. One of the very important contents of the civil service examination in later generations is the assessment of the essay, which is a very important exam. In fact, the argument is to absorb a lot of the content and methods of the ancient policy exam, but their emphasis is different. Strategy is about problem-solving, while argument is about being able to extract the right content from the established material. However, these two are actually very similar and can be used as references to each other.

"After you have learned this argument, you will be able to master the method of this argument effectively. Then you can answer these questions very well, and your way of answering them is absolutely superior. And others have not been trained by me, they have no experience at all, and they don't know how to answer at all, so you are still very advantageous. So, in the past six months, I can teach you the knowledge of this argument, and then you can study it well, so that you can learn the knowledge of this argument, and then you can also get a great advantage. There is a big advantage to be gained, and I can surmise that there is a ninety percent chance of passing. That's how I came back then! ”

When Zhang Chao took the imperial examination that year, in fact, it was because he had accumulated enough knowledge of the argument that he was able to pass the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty. Zhang Chao found that the imperial examination of the Tang Dynasty was actually similar to the civil service examination in later generations, especially the mentality of the candidates. In later generations, too many candidates for the civil service examination came to the exam with the mentality of trying it out, and they would not suffer a loss if they took the exam anyway. Anyway, the exam will be taken, and there will be no loss if you don't pass the exam, and if you pass the exam, you will make a lot of money.

But they all go to the exam with this mentality, so they will definitely lack a lot. This kind of candidates who take the exam are often unprepared, and they have not really experienced special pre-exam training, so their pass rate for the exam is very low. In later generations, Zhang Chao once persuaded his relatives and friends more than once that if they were not ready to take the so-called civil service examination, it was best not to take the exam. If you don't prepare for the exam, you have a high chance of failing in the end.

The same is true for the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty, many candidates are excellent students in the school, but when they really take the exam, they find that the exam is not tested at all in the school, which is the most cheating thing. Confucian classics are taught in various schools in the Tang Dynasty, but when it comes to the imperial examination, except for the Ming classics, these contents are not examined. And the Jinshi subject of the vast majority of candidates is also something that is not learned in school, and this is the most cheating. It's like studying math for a semester and then finding out that you didn't take math when you graduated.

And those candidates did not go through any pre-exam counseling before the exam, and any pre-exam preparation was not done. So in this way, those candidates can not fall off the list? Therefore, the ancients said that the so-called fifty young jinshi, in fact, they did not know how to take the exam. Zhang Chao found that the candidates of this era had no experience in the imperial examination at all, and their various preparations before the examination, as well as all kinds of knowledge they learned, were not the material for the examination. Therefore, these students of the Tang Dynasty are not ready for the exam at all, so there is a great possibility that they will all fail. In addition, they all adopt the mentality of fighting and hoping to get a chance to change their lifelong destiny through this mentality that is almost like gambling to take the exam, then most of them will definitely fail the test. This mentality of treating the exam as a gamble, and the mentality of the exam is very problematic, if he can pass the exam, then Zhang Chao will also doubt whether there is such a thing as science in this world! People who take the exam with a gambling mentality, that Zhang Chao thinks it is absolutely impossible.

And Zhang Chao is different, Zhang Chao has also been educated from exams since he was a child, and he has experienced weekly tests, monthly exams, quarterly exams, final exams, etc. every year since he was a child. And which student in later generations is not from the examination education, although there are some cheats, but Zhang Chao has accumulated a lot of examination experience, so he is not only much ahead of other candidates in terms of knowledge in the face of this imperial examination, but also too far ahead in terms of examination psychology and examination mentality, so that it is easy for him to be admitted to the imperial examination. And now he is also planning to teach his experience to his students, so that they can easily pass the imperial examination. If they can pass the imperial examination, it will allow them to pass the imperial examination as much as possible, and then become an important help in their officialdom.

"Okay, let me tell you first, listen carefully to the various points of the argument. In the past six months, I will give you a quick training in the imperial examination. As long as you go through my training in the crash course, then you can easily pass the imperial examination, and at that time you can also enter the officialdom to fight for yourself and the people. (To be continued.) )u
