Chapter 347 Provincial and Palace Examinations
Each power has made an assessment. On average, the probability of passing the foundation-building period clerk exam to get a job is one in a thousand.
There is no way. There are too many foundation-building cultivators in Shenhui Continent. Even if there are many positions, they are insignificant in the crowd.
And clerks are divided into two types, central and local, just like ordinary officials.
The Wang family focuses more on letting clansmen take the local clerk exam. One is that it is easy. The second is that the central government is not a place that they, the Earl's Mansion, can intervene in. Even if they are a clerk, it is not possible. It is easy to have their claws chopped off.
The Earl's Mansion understands, but many casual cultivators do not understand. They rush to compete for the central clerk position, which reduces the pressure on others.
Many people also understand the ideas of these casual cultivators.
The third-rank official in front of the prime minister! The Beijing official is half a level higher than the local official, and the clerk is the same. There is a natural superiority.
The imperial examination for clerks is very simple. Make sure that the realm meets the requirements, two test papers, and three days, and it is over.
The clansmen returned one after another, with different expressions.
Then, the imperial examination for Jindan began.
Then there are Yuanying and Huashen...
The number of people is decreasing, and the positions are the same.
As for higher realms, there is no need for imperial examinations, they have their own way.
The first imperial examination took a year from the beginning to the release of the list.
The first minor officials announced were announced in front of the city lord's mansion of each city, and the number of minor officials recruited by the city was different.
The Wang family members went to check it out, and their performances were different.
Finally, after the Wang family statistics, a total of more than 3,800 clan members were admitted, most of them were from hundreds of cities around Laiyang City, covering various government offices.
For this result, the Wang family was self-sufficient, and then let the unsuccessful clan members return to their posts and wait for the next imperial examination.
The clan members who passed the examination took the time to pack up and prepare for the position.
"It's still easier to take the minor official examination. One exam solves everything. Unlike other imperial examinations, it is divided into provincial examinations and palace examinations." Wang Nannan complained.
The Jindan stage imperial examination is also held until the provincial examination is over, and the province is responsible for electing the supervisors of small cities or the adjutants of large cities.
Yuanying stage and Huashen stage need to go through the palace examination, but the palace examination of Yuanying stage is conducted by high-level cultivators, and the palace examination of Huashen stage is conducted by the royal family.
Such a distinction also shows the different emphasis on different positions.
There are more than 100 people in the Wang family who are shortlisted for the Jindan stage.
There are 11 people in the Wang family who are shortlisted for the Yuanying stage.
As for the Huashen stage, there is no one.
Wang Nanjuan is in seclusion, and her earl title does not allow her to participate.
Wang Nannan, Wang Nanjun and Wang Xiangxiu all failed...
Wang Nannan was embarrassed about this.
After living for so many years, I didn't expect that the imperial examination would test so many things, which made Wang Nannan look confused and naturally failed.
Embarrassing!
But it doesn't matter. Just focus on training Jindan and Yuanying cultivators. For this purpose, the Wang family invited great scholars from the academy to help train the provincial and palace examinations.
The provincial examination started soon, and Wang Nannan personally accompanied the clansmen to arrange all the logistics for them.
Wang Nannan's actions made the clansmen flattered.
After all, in the eyes of the clansmen, Wang Nannan is an elder or even an ancestor who is not easy to show up in the family.
"If you can achieve an official position, you will be worthy of the family's training." Wang Nannan said PUA, why did they train them with all their heart and soul, isn't it just for today?
Everyone was extremely moved, and one by one vowed to serve the family.
There are still quite a lot of people in the Jindan provincial examination, basically in the state of three into one, these are all the existences that can become the chief officers of a party, so everyone attaches great importance to it.
Wang Nannan calmed everyone's emotions and sent them to the examination room.
There were not many people who came to pick up the clansmen like Wang Nannan, so Wang Nannan did not wait outside foolishly, but took this opportunity to walk around nearby.
This is the provincial capital, and it has become more prosperous after the great unification.
Wang Nannan originally thought that the Dakang Dynasty would take several years to suppress the remnants, but he didn't expect that there was no need to suppress them at all. With the collapse of several dynasties, those monks who were originally loyal to other dynasties instantly changed their allegiance.
Although these fence-sitters are despised by people, they have indeed ensured that the city has not been further destroyed, and even restored the prosperity of the dynasty to a certain extent.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Wang Nannan. At this time, he was walking in a shop and checking various commodities.
"Your shop, the highest-level shop is also level five?" Wang Nannan frowned, how can it be unified?
He went to more than a dozen shops one after another. The highest-level commodities they could sell were all level five, and the quantity was very small.
The Wang's Chamber of Commerce does not sell commodities above level five because it cannot meet the needs of the family. What about other shops? It's just as if they had agreed.
You know, during the war, you can occasionally see level six commodities, but now it's like a dream.
Walking back to the shop of the Wang's Chamber of Commerce, several clansmen came out in a hurry to wait.
Seeing this, Wang Nannan expressed his doubts to a clan member.
The person in charge of the provincial capital store is a Jindan peak master cultivator, who was forced to rise by the clan with resources. It is a bit difficult for him to continue to break through. He got this position with the help of his elders' contributions to the clan.
I am also a cunning old man, doing my job well and satisfying the clan.
The store manager bowed and said, "Ancestor, this is an order from the Dakang Dynasty. Just three months ago, the sale of sixth-level and above resources was prohibited."
"Most of the fifth-level resources are also restricted."
"The restrictions of the Dakang Dynasty?" Wang Nannan was a little surprised. He really didn't know about this news, mainly because he rarely cared about the business of the shops.
"Isn't this blocking the promotion channels for independent cultivators? No, some small families, even the channels of earl families like us, have been blocked!" Wang Nannan's face was very ugly.
After being angry, he calmed down.
The Dakang Dynasty's move seemed to be to prevent some cultivators from being promoted.
Or in other words, the vested interests are protecting their own interests.
I finally climbed up, and I must remove the ladder...
If others must want to climb up, they must rely on the Dakang Dynasty, the royal family, the imperial examination or military merit...
After thinking everything through, Wang Nannan asked the clansmen to retreat, and he found a room and waited patiently.
The Dakang Dynasty's hand was an open conspiracy, which was easy to analyze, but everyone was helpless.
Those with low realms did not dare to resist.
Those with high realms were all supporters of the Dakang Dynasty. After all, this rule was also to protect their interests.
Some marquises and dukes, for example, are already at the Refining Void Realm or the Combination Realm, so they don’t lack these high-level resources at all, and they also have channels to obtain them.
Viscounts and barons, whose realms are too low, can’t use the high-level resources even if they are given them, so they don’t consider these at all.
Even if they have high-level resources, they will exchange them for spirit stones and dare not keep them in their hands.
The most uncomfortable ones should be the earl families like the Wang family, who are neither up nor down, and are extremely disgusting.
