I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Xijiang Academy, a traditional academy in Nanjing, has hundreds of students studying in it.

Even if the university is in full swing, there are still a large number of scholars who are still unmoved and continue to read their Four Books and Five Classics.

Another reason is that there are too few new schools, and it is not easy to get admitted. Those who did not pass the test could only continue to study in this traditional academy.

There are only three new colleges in Nanjing, Suzhou and Jiujiang, a new type of college similar to Daxuetang. There are only three in total.

Traditional academies still occupy 99% of the share.

Xijiang Academy is just one of many traditional academies.

These scholars are also reading newspapers, reading newspapers, and discussing newspapers. If you want to be an official, it is impossible not to pay attention to current affairs.

"This Wu Changqing finally showed his fangs. Judging from these remarks, it is clear that he is preparing to rebel."

A scholar said angrily.

Even though there are countless people who think Wu Changqing is good, but he is not included in Li Yao.

After all, he has been learning to read and write since he was six years old. However, this dream is about to be completely destroyed by Wu Changqing.

The south has been pacified for so long, but Wu Changqing has no intention of opening the imperial examination.

This made Li Yao not angry, how not to hate.

Originally, he had no loyalty to Daming at all. But now, he couldn't wait for Zhu Yihai to call and destroy Wu Changqing.

It really doesn't work, even if the Qing army comes over, after all, the Qing court will also hold imperial examinations.

In short, whoever will continue the imperial examination system, he will support whoever.

"Brother Li, speak carefully, speak carefully."

Another scholar persuaded that although Wu Changqing has always been very loose in the control of various speeches, they used to criticize certain policies and no one controlled them.

However, this time it is about rebellion and the issue of siding with the change of the dynasty, so some words can't be said too casually.

If someone with a heart goes to inform, it is impossible for the future life to be unaffected.

"If he is allowed to gain this world, there will be no time for us scholars to emerge in the future."

Li Yao said angrily.

"It really doesn't work, let's go to that university too. It's all knowledge. We have learned these four books and five classics, and we have written eight-part essays. There is no reason why miscellaneous studies can stum us."

Another student took out a elementary physics book, and he was about to give in.

And people like him have occupied the majority of the academy.

To ask them to rebel against Wu Changqing, they do not have the ability. If this is the case, then it is better to surrender and conform to the general trend of the world.

Anyway, miscellaneous learning is also learning, as long as you work hard, there is no reason why you can't learn it.

They all rely on knowledge to become officials, but the way is slightly different.

"Brother Wang, why did you give in? This is what Wu Changqing wants to see. Only when we all unite can we hope to fight against him."

Li Yao felt as if he had been abandoned and felt inexplicable anxiety in his heart.

"What can I do if I don't give in? Is it possible to go to the south to join the King of Lu or the north to join the Tartars? Haven't you heard that the Tartars suffered a major defeat in the north. Liu Hansan's army has just arrived in Suzhou, and the army of King Lu has They fled back to Jiaxing. In this world, no one can stop them."

The scholar surnamed Wang said helplessly, it was all to blame for Zhu Yihai and the others, and he was already desperate.

The dissatisfaction of traditional students, in fact, Wu Changqing's high-level group has also been paying attention, and is researching solutions.

It is definitely not possible to continue to use the previous imperial examination system.

After discussions, they came up with a new imperial examination system and decided to officially reopen the imperial examination next year.

However, this new imperial examination is very different from the traditional imperial examination, both in form and content.

This is thanks to Wu Changqing's desire to reform gradually. If it is rough, according to his idea, he will directly abolish the eight-legged articles in the imperial examination.

This thing is just like the Mathematical Olympiad. Those who can do it well are geniuses, but those who cannot do it are not necessarily talents.

People who can solve math Olympiad questions, their hands-on ability and practical application ability are not necessarily better than others.

Eight-part articles have strict requirements on the number of words in the article, the length of sentences, and the tone of each sentence.

Its difficulty is great, appalling. Readers devote all their energy to studying the eight-part article, but they have no time to study the practical knowledge.

In the past, the imperial examinations only examined the Ming classics, strategy theory and eight-legged essays, but now Wu Changqing has changed it to a form of strategy theory as the main subject and other subjects as supplementary.

Among them, policy theory accounts for the highest proportion of points, with a full score of 300, and a total of three major questions.

The remaining eight essays, physics, chemistry, arithmetic, and other important subjects, each subject has a full score of 100.

There are also some music, medicine, Ming Jing, poetry and songs, each subject has only 30 full marks.

Policy questions are compulsory, eight-legged essays, physical chemistry and other subjects are optional, and each person can choose three subjects that they are good at.

And music, poetry, songs, etc. are non-exam items, and it will not affect candidates if they do not take the exam. However, if you choose and take the test, the points you get will count towards your total score.

Each student is limited to two exams, and they cannot choose more than one or all of them.

In fact, the most obvious feature of this system is that it has been greatly weakened.

The importance of Baguwen, there will definitely be traditional students who study Baguwen vomit blood.

This is a reform in content. In terms of form, Wu Changqing also made some changes in order to connect with the original imperial examination.

In the original imperial examinations, there were county, prefectural, academy, township, meeting and palace examinations. The first-class students who had passed the county, prefectural, and academy examinations were classified as scholars, and the second-class students were classified as Xianggong.

Only those who have passed the exam can take part in the rural examination in the provincial capital.

Once you become a Juren, you can already have the opportunity to become an official. However, anyone with a little ambition will choose to continue their studies and participate in the next urgent exam, which will be held in Nanjing.

The top 300 people in the exam are listed as Gongsheng, and the first one is called Huiyuan.

Being admitted to the Gongsheng is equivalent to being admitted to the Jinshi, but it is only necessary to participate in the palace examination and then be ranked in the top three.

The top three are the first-class jinshi, also known as the second-ranking scholar in the top-ranking list, there are several second-class jinshi, and the third-class jinshi is the most.

Scholars in different urgency will have a great impact on future careers.

The top three jinshi can only start from some unimportant petty officials, while the first jinshi is directly admitted to the Hanlin Academy.

Wu Changqing cancelled the county examination and the prefectural examination, and kept only one hospital examination, which was regarded as a scholar after passing the examination.

Moreover, the hospital examination only takes four subjects, that is, policy questions plus three other optional subjects.

At the same time, Wu Changqing also stipulated that the previous fame is also valid in the future.

That is to say, the candidates from the previous dynasty no longer need to participate in the academy and rural examinations, and can directly participate in the general examination.

The scholars of the previous dynasty did not need to participate in the academy examination, but could directly participate in the township examination.

This kind of condition can at least calm the dissatisfaction of the scholars who were famous in the past.

In terms of admissions, Wu Changqing also made some improvements.

The top three in the total score are still the first A, but for those who are in the top three in a single subject, they can also be promoted exceptionally.

That is to say, even if the overall grade is very poor, as long as one subject gets full marks or the top three, it can still be selected for the second or third top.

People are different, some people are naturally partial, but they are all geniuses. This kind of person is actually more valuable than those with high total scores.
