Speaking of the writing tools, Shao Yunduan shared his plans with the villagers about establishing a school. With the expanding properties at home, it would be more convenient if everyone could read and write. This way, Shao Sanlang and the others could learn essential writing and reading skills.
As for Shao Junyan, it was high time for him to start his journey of learning. If he could excel and become a Cultivated Talent, that would be truly remarkable.
However, Being able to read and write did depend mostly on innate gift. It was a reality that only a few people were accepted into schools and succeeded in passing examinations. Hard work alone did not always guarantee success in obtaining a government position.
Even without gift, one could aspire to reach the rank of Cultivated Talent at best. However, having a certain title could provide better opportunities to manage and inherit properties.
