Zhao Cheng knew them, the students in the Imperial College, and he basically remembered all of them. Among these eight, three had particularly excellent grades, and the remaining five had grades ranging from superior to average and even below average.
Their backgrounds included northern noble families, southern aristocrats, students from humble origins, and families engaged in commerce. One of them was even an orphan from a humble family, whose family had, in the past, rented land from the Wang Family, making them tenant farmers. As a result, he was often mocked openly by others in the Imperial College, and Zhao Cheng had intervened on two occasions, therefore he knew him.
He did not know the criteria Zhao Hanzhang used to select people, but he still very much enjoyed the teaching job at the Imperial College. After returning from his studies abroad, he might not become the principal, but he was determined to continue teaching, so he nodded and agreed.
