Of course, Li Shimin did not dare to learn his dirty tricks. From the young shopkeeper's description, Xiao Wen understood that this country did not have a stupid policy of picking from the eight — after all, Li Shimin was not an idiot, he knew the standards of scholars in this world. Give them a free environment, and they can give you enough surprises and benefits — and the resulting confusion is nothing in the face of positive benefits.

But then, the young owner told him the real reason why he was unable to take the Imperial Examinations.

"Sigh, I don't know if it's because His Majesty listened to those ungrateful words, or if the minds of the court officials were squeezed shut by the door. During the Imperial examinations, they had chosen to rely solely on Confucianism. Although Confucianism is the mainstream in Great Tang Dynasty, but there are other schools of thought. Your Majesty, for you to do this, you are truly worthy of being called the sole ruler of a hundred clans! "

Hearing that, Xiao Wen revealed a strange expression.

The weird thing was that the original owner of the Confucianism was clearly Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. In the end, in this world, Tang Taizong did.

This kind of situation caused Xiao Wen to feel a deep sense of unfamiliarity.

Still, he forced himself to calm down.

Looking at the shopkeeper, Xiao Wen revealed the reason for his surprise, "From what you said, you aren't a scholar? In that case, what books have you read? "

The owner of the shop looked at Xiao Wen. He was not afraid because he was not a member of the Confucian School.

Although there were many Confucian Scholars among the scholars of the Great Tang Dynasty. If what he had just said was heard by one of the Great Tang Dynasty's civil officials, it would most likely cause the other party to be displeased.

However, he knew that the Taoism was the leader of the burly men's group.

And no matter which world the Taoism was in, they all advocated for freedom and were a school of tolerance.

Back then, it was because the Taoism ruled over the Qi Kingdom that the underworld palace was able to develop in the long run and become the center of culture for all the contenders.

If Xiao Wen was a Taoism, regardless of which guild's book he was reading, the owner of the shop believed that he would not be viewed with hostility due to the differences in the guild.

Therefore, he honestly said, "Actually, students have also read the 'Analects of Confucius'. However, students find it difficult to continue reading the 'Analects of Analects'. Later on, by chance and coincidence, the student received a copy of《 Lv's spring and autumn》 and started to treat miscellaneous matters. "

"Ah!" Isn't this the same guild as Mister? " Hearing this, Xiao Wen didn't even open his mouth when he revealed a surprised expression.

She had not expected that they would meet members of the same guild as her husband in this place.

Although she was the same as Guan Yu, she was purely learning martial arts by Xiao Wen's side. But still, she was Xiao Wen's student, and she still regarded herself as a common disciple.

The other students at the side also had the same thought. They looked at the owner and all of them revealed an expression of surprise.

Of course, they weren't the only ones who were surprised. After hearing what Sun Shangxiang said, the owner of the shop was also extremely surprised.

His voice trembled, and he said to Xiao Wen in shock: "I never thought that Sir is actually a fellow sect member. I... I... "I …"

Looking at Xiao Wen, he was actually so excited that he couldn't even speak.

And at this time, the silent Xiao Wen calmed the emotions in her heart.

His mind was churning over the contents of "An Actor's Self-cultivation", constantly using his superb acting skills to control his emotions.

Seeing that the owner was just a random disciple, the first thing that came to his mind was the question of how the shop owner worked.

After all, although he had declared himself to be a miscellaneous disciple, in reality, there was no one from a miscellaneous guild that was willing to pass on their knowledge and work to dispel his doubts. The "Lv's spring and autumn", "Corpse" and "Huai Nanzi" he saw were all obtained from the super library.

Without a teacher to guide him, just because he was knowledgeable, he did not have the corresponding resources in the academic world. It was indeed a waste for him to be unable to turn a common disciple into a social resource.

Now that he saw this trash disciple, Xiao Wen immediately thought about how to use him to find the other trash disciples.

The corpse of the Shang Yang Guest was already a person from a few hundred years ago, and Lv Buwei had long ago turned cold. As for the still alive Huai Nan Zi, Liu An, even though he was a king, he was suppressed by Liu Bang and his mother-in-law.

Therefore, with Xiao Wen's "academic level", with his identity and position, it was not a problem for him to get a bunch of small fry brothers.

Therefore, he said with a face of ease, "Since you are a disciple of a school of thought, can you tell me who your teacher is?"

Hearing this question, the owner sighed.

He first held the kettle in his hands and poured Xiao Wen a cup of tea, then said: "Sir is the Guest who was the first in line, Lv Buwei. After that, when I wandered the Tang Kingdom and saw the doubts I had towards the "Analects of Confucius" in the academy, he confirmed that I was a very suitable person to study in a miscellaneous school. Therefore, he passed < The Lv's spring and autumn > down to me. However, because of the battle with the Qin Kingdom back then, Mister did not want to have any conflicts with the secular world. The name, he said, was just a code name, a code name for his past experiences, so let's not talk about it. "Because since you said so, I don't dare to ask …"

Xiao Wen, who was originally drinking water, almost spurted it out when he heard this.

If it wasn't for him constantly staring at the owner's face and confirming that there were no details of the lie in the boss's actions, Xiao Wen would have most likely beaten him up.

The reason was none other than because the experience of Xiao Wen and his teacher that this brat had told him were extremely similar!

As for Xiao Wen's students, after hearing the owner's words, they too had faces full of shock.

Zhuge Liang said first, "I didn't expect this gentleman to have the same experience as my husband. Looks like the matter of the Qin Kingdom indeed left a lot of shadow on the Prime Minister Lu's Guest! "

Xiao Wen did not continue to linger on this topic. After all, ridiculing him wouldn't bring him any benefits.

His mind quickly worked, and he soon thought of many methods to use these miscellaneous disciples for himself.

After all, although there were many disciples in these small clans, there seemed to be a lack of disciples who valued this relationship greatly. Moreover, they were highly respected and had high status.

On the other hand, although Xiao Wen was now a citizen of Han, he had crossed over to this world in the twenty-first century. Looking back at history, he knew that the fighting power of something like a school was no less than that of any other interest group.

As long as he could unite the power of a guild, then he could obtain power comparable to those aristocratic family s within minutes.

Why in history did the Feudal Lords defeat the Feudal Lords and raise those so-called aristocratic families in the Song and Ming dynasties?

On one hand, it was because of the existence of the school system that the conflict with the military officer system was not as intense.

Unless the civil servants held an absolute advantage, they would be chosen along with those other nobles who were also chosen through military merits. However, they were originally nobles with military merits. They had the same enemy — the aristocratic family that had passed down for generations.

After all, the struggle for martial arts is nothing compared to a class conflict.

Perhaps some young officials would encounter arrogant military officials before they took the Imperial examinations, thus they would suffer a loss. The military officials might encounter some dog officials before they joined the army, and they might be in deep trouble.

However, this was not a common occurrence in terms of probability.

At the very least, the chances of them being exploited by the Feudal Lords while they were at the bottom were very low.

Moreover, there was one more important point. There were also both good and bad aspects within the Feudal Lord family. If he wanted to produce a child with a higher level, that would depend on his luck.

However, as long as it was a member of a Feudal Lord family, their IQ would be on a par with others.

The difference in power between the upper echelons of the two parties might still need to be studied. However, in the bottom rung of the ladder, a failure of a school would surely be able to suppress a hedonistic son of the school who didn't even want to learn.

Therefore, Xiao Wen decided to join hands with his fellow students from a small school.

But before that, Xiao Wen had to confirm the scale of this miscellaneous school.

So he asked, "As a member of a jumble school, I have the duty to help my fellow apprentices … Mn, since we are from the same sect, you don't have to call me Lord. You call me senior brother, I'll call you junior brother. Other than that, I want to know, in Tang Kingdom, how many other disciples like you are there? "

After the shop owner heard Xiao Wen's words, he cupped his hands towards Xiao Wen and said: "Senior Brother is so polite, junior brother will not be able to thank you enough. In reply to senior, there was a gathering of disciples from our school last year before the Imperial Examinations. According to the statistics, there were still three elders who were under the command of the Prime Minister Lu. As for the disciples in the Luoyang, there were still fifty-six of them. There were also 389 disciples scattered around Great Tang Dynasty. Two hundred and sixty-seven disciples were gathered at the Great Tang Dynasty's An Xi Capital Residence. Some of them serve in the imperial court, while some study in Lu Xun and engage in business. "
