I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

The next day, Qin Lin and Qin Erhu traveled to Nanjing again.

However, this time Qin Lin went to buy pepper seeds, while Qin Erhu went to work in a steel factory.

"You're lucky, Huzi, my father doesn't agree with me going to the factory."

Qin Lin said with emotion that compared to growing peppers, going to a factory is much more stable. Those foremen said that there would be training, including the church. And when he grows peppers, he can only explore by himself, and he can't even find a teacher.

"Lin Zi, don't be discouraged. If you grow chili well, you will make a fortune."

The two encouraged each other and went to the city.

The two of them are just a microcosm of the changing times.

There are many people like them around Nanjing.

When their respective opportunities arise, some people with a little bit of courage and courage will take the opportunity to meet various challenges.

Among them, some of them will definitely meet with blood and blood, but some people will definitely be able to seize the drastic change of this era, thereby changing their status and changing their lives.

The great changes brought by Wu Changqing to this era have greatly affected all classes in this era.

People are facing choices, and scholars are also facing choices.

In the new issue of the University Hall Admissions Notice, there are some more novel subjects, such as foreign languages.

In order to meet the translation talents needed in the skyrocketing overseas trade, a foreign language school was opened early in Songjiang.

However, most of those who have succeeded in their studies eventually entered major commercial firms and worked for businessmen.

Moreover, most of those people are quick translators, basically only speaking, not writing.

A foreign language school in Songjiang alone cannot meet the skyrocketing demand.

Therefore, the university has also opened foreign language classes to keep pace with the times.

Learning a foreign language at a university requires not only oral translation, but also written translation, which is much more difficult. However, if they are successful in their studies, their future development will be relatively large.

For example, Wu Changqing said that in the future, a special diplomatic agency will be established, which is specially used to deal with foreign countries. If you want to be an official in this department, you must first master a foreign language or multiple foreign languages.

In addition to foreign languages, there is also a medical department, which is specially used to train doctors.

Confucius Temple, at the entrance of the Great Hall, countless scholars gathered in front of the admission announcement.

"What kind of subject is this foreign language subject, and why are the top three in the first batch of foreign language subject examinations, can be awarded the official positions of the sixth-grade, seventh-grade and seventh-grade respectively."

A scholar was surprised that the admission announcements for other disciplines did not directly state that the top three candidates in the exam would be awarded officials. Although, this is already a practice, but the government did not say it clearly after all.

And the admissions announcement for this foreign language department actually clearly marked the price.

As long as the top three are assessed, they will be awarded directly. Moreover, it is really tempting to be a high-ranking official from the sixth rank.

"You don't know foreign languages, just what foreigners say and what Fanbang says."

Another scholar explained.

"Isn't this just dialect? How difficult is it? It's much easier than learning the Four Books and Five Classics to write articles."

The scholar who asked the question was puzzled. He learned a few dialects to become a sixth-rank official. There is such a good thing in the world.

Originally, he planned to apply for physics, but now he has changed his mind and is going to study foreign languages.

As for physics, because more and more people are studying now, the competition is very high.

In the last physics exam, students who scored more than 80 points did not get official positions. At the time when the university was first established, the physics subject was able to pass the 80-point exam, and a seventh-rank official was not allowed to pass.

Those who have not seized the opportunity before, need to put in several times the effort to get ahead at this time.

Whenever I think of this, countless scholars beat their chests and sigh, regretting to death or living.

"Learning a foreign language is still very promising. Even if you don't get into the top three, you can still work in a firm. My uncle's firm hired a half-skilled translator. He can speak and can't write, and his monthly salary is 12 taels. After graduating from the university, other firms will definitely be rushing to get it, and the monthly salary of 20 taels is not difficult."

Another scholar also interjected, which made many scholars who were already excited to make up their minds.

The monthly salary is 22 taels, which is already a month's salary for a six-rank official position.

Of course, the biggest advantage of being an official is not the salary, but the ability to use power to accumulate wealth.

A job with a monthly salary of 22 taels is definitely not as good as a sixth-rank official position, or even an eighth-rank official position.

However, as long as you don't compare it with those who are officials, a job of twenty-two a month is definitely the top job in this era.

Some students from poor families are still very satisfied with this job.

"Medicine, how can we scholars be reduced to being doctors?"

Among the many discussions, some scholars expressed dissatisfaction.

In this era when everything is inferior and only reading is high, there is no profession more noble than reading and being an official. So much so that many readers look down on other industries.

Even if it is a doctor who can save people's lives, when they are not sick, these scholars will not look in the eye.

Now that they are asked to study medicine and become doctors, some scholars feel insulted.

"What's wrong with being a doctor? Doing well in any industry is a way out. The imperial hospital envoy is a fourth-rank official, and the imperial physician is a sixth-rank official. The Governor said that the future hospital envoys must be people who understand medical skills. And, even if

It is just an ordinary doctor, and the imperial court will also give subsidies and status treatment to the eighth grade. "

It was Wei Ziwen who was speaking. He had just come out of the university hall when he heard such remarks that looked down on medical skills, and immediately refuted it.

"I have seen Master Wei."

Many scholars saluted one after another, and now Wei Ziwen is also well-known in Nanjing City. Although his official position is not very high, his articles often appear in the eyes of the public because of the People's Daily he is in charge of.

Therefore, his popularity is much higher than other officials.

Moreover, he was also a student of Wu Changqing, and he was one of the first batch of people to be awarded an official position in the university. It is said that he was very trusted by Wu Changqing.

"The Governor-General has personally issued an instruction to me that knowledge should flourish. The traditional economics talents are needed by the Governor, and the talents in new disciplines are needed by the Governor. The unpopular subjects such as foreign languages ​​and medicine are also needed by the Governor.

No matter what subject you choose, you must study hard, study hard, and stand out among the crowd. As long as you can achieve good results, your future future will naturally be smooth. "

Wei Ziwen also learned some tactics from Wu Changqing, and he will also inspire people through speeches.

His remarks made many scholars who wanted to choose foreign languages ​​and medicine excited.

Wei Ziwen's words are like giving them a reassurance that they can focus on their studies.

Even some more traditional scholars were excited.

They once worried that Wu Changqing was too partial to new disciplines, and the traditional Four Books and Five Classics had no way out. But after seeing Wei Ziwen, they found that continuing to study the traditional Four Books and Five Classics does not seem to be a dead end.

As long as you study well, you can still be an official, just like Wei Ziwen.
