After being so busy for half a month, the donkeys on the farm, although they were serving delicious food and drink every day, and there were fruits to eat, were already tired enough, and they had to burp when they went to heaven.

Ding Yun finally showed mercy and stopped working.

Let those donkeys rest for a while.

She herself began to bulk them overnight, wheat and rice grains, how to disperse, who should be dispersed and who should not be scattered, and she didn't have the energy to investigate, so she just threw a few bags into the yard to see which family was poor.

If only you could see that there were many children.

A few more bags will be thrown away.

Good guy, herself, with a few donkeys for half a month's work, it was dispersed in less than one night, this efficiency, Ding Yun's mind is really tired from time to time, all destroyed, the inexplicable impulse of the old lady to stop doing it.

Because the efficiency is really low.

There is no shortage of wheat and rice in the warehouse.

This mode of distributing food obviously can't last long, and if it really lasts for a long time, I'm afraid that she will be tired to death, so Ding Yun, who returned to Nanhuaguan after dispersing food, quickly decided to give up this plan and really concentrate on apostasy.

Jinling City is close to Nanhua Temple, some things she is really not easy to do, rather than working tirelessly every day can only do a little work, it is better to simply take the test first, get the Taoist book, and then travel the world, go to other places far away from here, when the time comes, whether it is to try to build a small grain workshop specializing in grinding rice and flour, or directly throw the ears of rice and wheat outside, it will be much more convenient.

The longer distances are also not conducive to the spread of the message.

It also reduces her risk of exposure.

Ding Yun, who had such thoughts, soon entered a state of ignoring things outside the window and only reading the Taoist scriptures.

After asking the same door, I asked the Yunqi female crown.

At the beginning, some of the content that Ding Yun asked Yunqi Nuguan could barely explain, but when she asked about some particularly deep content, some professional annotations in ancient scriptures, Yunqi Nuguan was already a little powerless.

Fortunately, she didn't make up nonsense to fool Ding Yun, but she still knew what she knew, and said frankly without knowing it: "What you asked, I really don't know."

Now I'm not afraid to be honest with you.

I didn't take this exam myself, it was bought for 5,000 taels of silver, I just wanted to become a monk and hide from the pure, but I didn't know much about the scriptures, so I spent money to buy a copy of the degree, and the Taoist scriptures and the like I learned after I became a monk.

However, I am not very proficient in learning.

In this way, I recommend you to go to other Taoist temples for further study, I can teach you the simpler content, but I really can't teach it no matter how deep it is. ”

"Huh??"

Ding Yun is really full of question marks.

The teacher who dared to love her temporarily, and he was not a serious candidate, so there was such a good way, why didn't he tell her in advance?

Isn't this a pit?

Knowing this, she tried to make money first.

And the Yunqi female crown looked at Ding Yun's puzzled expression, and probably understood her thoughts, in order to avoid Ding Yun's misunderstanding, she hurriedly explained:

"Don't get me wrong, I know that you are not short of silver, and you should be able to make up five thousand taels at any time, but now it is different from when I did.

When I became a monk, I was still in the first emperor's time.

At that time, the management of the degree was not strict, not only was it very easy to buy the degree, but it was not too difficult to take the test, and 5,000 to 10,000 copies of the degree could be sent down every year, as long as there was a little connection, or a little bit of financial resources, you could find a way to get one, after all, not everyone was willing to become a monk.

However, the current Emperor Taishang, after ascending the throne, worked hard, felt that the monk was not producing, and directly cut the share of the degree of Mu by more than zero, and it has not changed until now, and now only one hundred to three hundred copies of the degree will be issued every year.

Half of them can be obtained.

Half can only go to buy.

There are so many temples and Taoist temples in the world, some of them have been inherited for thousands of years, and they have never been short of silver, not to mention the specific assessment standards, in fact, they are jointly formulated by some large temples and Taoist temples.

No matter how the assessment is made, it is more beneficial to them.

So the current situation is that ninety percent of the degrees issued by the imperial court every year have entered the hands of those large Taoist temples, and only less than one percent can barely flow out, and countless people are vying for it.

At its peak, someone gave out 100,000 taels.

Not enough connections and background.

You can't even touch it.

My Nanhua Temple is just a small Taoist temple, and there is still some fame near Jinling City, but no one knows about it in other places, so I don't have any connections in this area, and if you want to get the degree as soon as possible, you can only study hard for the exam yourself.

If you are not in a hurry, there is a way, you can wait for me to die, I am dead, and my share can be directly handed over to you as a inheritance. ”

Because if you weren't a professional, you wouldn't gossip about this information at all, so Ding Yun, who had heard a lot of gossip in Jinling City, really didn't know about it, and he was quite shocked to hear it at this time.

I didn't expect to choose such a difficult path.

What is the concept of only issuing 100 to 300 degrees a year, let's put it this way, on average, 300 Jinshi can produce 300 every year, not to mention the 100 to 300 degrees, only half of them can be obtained through the assessment, if you remove the base number of people who want to participate in the assessment, just compare with the number of people who finally pass the assessment each year.

This is more difficult than the Jinshi exam.

can be compared to the difficulty of taking the second-class jinshi.

It can be seen how difficult it is to obtain the degree now.

After Ding Yun understood this, the whole person was a little speechless, and at the same time, she also understood that if she wanted to rely on her strength and pass the assessment to obtain the degree, the probability of success was absolutely minimal.

It's not that she doesn't have confidence in her learning ability, but she doesn't have confidence in the so-called assessment, think about it, those large Taoist temples themselves are involved in the formulation of the assessment, not to mention other aspects, at least for the understanding of the Taoist scriptures, as well as the understanding of the answers to the exam questions, there is absolutely no problem.

disciples through their teachings.

Again, there shouldn't be much of a problem.

But what about Nanhuaguan, there are only some widely circulated Taoist scriptures here, ancient books and rare Taoist scriptures basically do not exist, and at the same time, Yunqi Nuguan's understanding of the Taoist scriptures is not very good, it may be too much to say that she only understands the fur, but her understanding of the Taoist scriptures is only up to the texture at most.

Ding Yun didn't have anywhere to ask for advice even if he wanted to.

Even if you can study elsewhere.

But where is there no view of the door?

There is still a hand left for his own disciples, not to mention the outsiders who just come to study by hanging, the relevant assessment is not only a memorization, but more important is understanding, so in summary, the probability of Ding Yun passing the assessment by himself is too small and too small.
