Daming 1805

Chapter 259
In this era, although the Taixi people were strongly influenced by Ming culture, they were not fully assimilated by Ming.

The vast majority of Westerners still retain typical Western thinking.

The point is that the vast majority of Taixi people do not have the opportunity to live in the mainland of Ming Dynasty for a long time.

The knowledge of Daming mainly comes from books and newspapers, and the information in the newspapers has been passed through countless hands.

The vast majority of Thai and Western people, when they understand the cultural things of Ming Dynasty, usually instinctively find ways to find corresponding things in the Thai and Western culture they are familiar with.

The titles of Shengyuan, Juren, and Jinshi obtained through the imperial examination are regarded as non-hereditary titles.

The fame of the Dongyi Kingdom was corresponded by the British to the titles of Scotland or Ireland, and the British king often conferred the titles of these countries.

The same Englishman may have the titles of Ireland, Scotland, and England at the same time.

The vassal state established by the Ming Dynasty without a king is regarded as the territory where the emperor of the Ming Dynasty directly concurrently serves as the king.

It is regarded as Ireland, a country where the king of England is also the king.

Once they pass the final round of examinations, they can get such a lord of the country.

Everyone is looking forward to the final result.

Gauss also waited anxiously for more than ten days.

It was not until the end of July that the final round of Dongyi Kingdom's first imperial examination was finally released.

More than 1000 people who took the exam crowded into the municipal square to watch the list.

Gauss squeezed in the crowd, looking forward from the end of the list with anticipation and entanglement.

There are a total of more than 300 people on the list, and more than 1000 people took the exam, and the acceptance rate is almost one-third.

But Gauss looked at it for a long time, but he still couldn't find his name.

Go straight ahead and see the front row.

"My article is written like that, it is impossible to have such a high ranking..."

Gauss was thinking about the situation at that time, and he was already guilty of giving up, but he saw his name.

Among all the more than 300 people, No.10 from front to back.

At the same time, exclamations have already sounded in the surrounding area, and many people are yelling in disbelief.

"Why isn't there my name?"

"It's impossible!"

"Why is my ranking so low! All the articles are talking about the advantages of Daming!"

"This list is wrong!"

"Could it be that these people in front of us all write much better than us?"

Gauss himself was somewhat incredulous, but the question seemed unanswered.

Dongyi Kingdom did not disclose the content of the test papers, and did not intend to let anyone check the papers.

The result is like this, and no one can doubt it.

The actual standard is based on Zhu Jingyuan's suggestion.

For serious and relatively objective analysis of pros and cons, a little evaluation and ranking will be given, which is equivalent to a small increase in points.

For those who found that Taixi culture was influenced by Ming Dynasty, they should give higher evaluation as much as possible, which is equivalent to a large increase in points.

For those who are completely brainless in praising Daming and belittling Taixi to nothing, their rankings will be slightly lowered, which is equivalent to a small deduction of points.

For those who think that Daming is not as good as Taixi as a whole, they will be eliminated directly and banned from entering the country for life.

Daming can allow you to have a certain amount of self-esteem, and guarantee that they can objectively analyze the situation in Taixi in the future.

If you want to belittle Daming in turn, won't it be a pleasure to keep you free?

But in the end, no candidates who did this were found at all, so no one was directly driven away.

Therefore, the final score of the candidates basically reflects the actual level of the candidates.

The first batch of talents who passed the examination were indeed the highest among all the candidates.

It's just that there is a slight tendency in the ranking between them.

In this way, Dongyi Kingdom's first batch of students, also known as scholars among the people, were successfully selected.

A total of five hundred and one people, compared to Dongyi Kingdom's total population of less than 100 million, this number is really a bit too much.

But almost half of them are foreign students, and there are only more than 200 local candidates.

On the third day after the exam, at the Yamen of the Changshi Mansion in Lin County and Wei County, Long Island, Liu Weizhi and Ruan Yuan met all the candidates and arranged for the existing translators to issue diplomas and certificates for them.
It was originally a harmonious and festive atmosphere, and many Thai and Western people were ready to call Liu Weizhi a sitter.

As a result, things changed quickly, because Liu Weizhi also arranged jobs for them while issuing certificates.

According to Zhu Jingyuan's request, all these Thai and Western scholars started as translators.

Either go to various counties, villages and towns as interpreters, or go to a certain army or a certain militia team as an interpreter.

Most of the rookies were originally prepared to be civil servants, but now of course they are willing to accept this translation job.

However, there are more than 100 people who do not want to be civil servants.

Many people came to take the exam just for the title of "Lord" of Ming Dongyi Kingdom.

Some are even retired, or getting ready to retire.

Like the former Governor of New York, Earl Dunmore and Macartney, the two old men are almost immobile.

There are also officials in New York and the United States, or members of New York City or even New York State, it is impossible for them to come here directly to serve as low-level translators.

There are also some relatively well-known businessmen who already run a huge industry, so it is impossible for them to be translators directly.

There are also some who are devoted to scientific research and don't want to be ordinary translators for Dongyi Kingdom in the afternoon.

Now Liu Weizhi can't help but arrange the work directly, but they can't take it.

When Liu Weizhi arranged work for Macartney, the old man didn't think too much at that time, so he said with a smile:

"Thank you for your love, but the students are old and frail, and may not have much time. They really can't play for Daming."

Liu Weizhi looked at Macartney like he was dying, so he didn't say anything.

But when it was sent to Isaac Roosevelt, a 16-year-old boy, the boy directly said that he did not want to go into politics.

Now Liu Weizhi was on fire:
"Study things, cultivate one's morality, govern one's family, rule the country and the world, and serve the government and the people are the natural obligations of scholars in Ming Dynasty. Since you have no intention of official career, why did you come to participate in this imperial examination?"

Liu Weizhi questioned Roosevelt, and without waiting for the other party to defend, he turned around to look at the others, and announced loudly with a straight face:
"This imperial examination was originally held for the selection of translators.

"Since you have come to take the exam, but you have passed but refused to accept the errand, are you showing contempt for my Great Ming Dongyi Kingdom?

"Pass me an order that all those who are unwilling to perform their duties will be directly dismissed from their ranks and deported immediately.

"And report to the Ming court immediately, the relevant personnel will never be allowed to participate in the imperial examination.

"The descendants of the relevant personnel will never be allowed to participate in the official trade of Ming Dynasty."

Roosevelt and many rookies around were stunned when they heard the order.

I just fought for a few months, fighting out of tens of thousands of people, and finally got the fame, and this is gone!

Daming's title, the governor-general, did it just happen?

Does one have to serve the Ming court after obtaining the title of Daming?

If you don't become this translator, all future generations will be sanctioned by Daming!
Is this the cultural tradition of Ming Dynasty?
I have never heard of such news at all. It is only written in the book that many people resigned from office and did not do it.

That is regarded as a good story of a generation...

What they don't know is that before the Renwu Dynasty, it's okay to not want to be an official after taking the exam.

But after the Renwu Dynasty, it will not work.

According to the words of Emperor Shizu, he doesn't want to be an official for me, but also wants to take my place of fame and fame, and wants to gain fame?
I can't get used to your faults.

Not only will I just get the hell out of me, but my descendants will never be allowed to take the imperial examinations, and never even think about participating in government-run industries.

This is actually Daming's unlimited joint sanctions.

In fact, this kind of situation is basically impossible to happen in Daming.

Those who are really willing to take the test of fame and fame just want to be an official.

Even if they pass the exam, there may not be any vacancies, because Ming's civil servants are also popular.

Even if you really don't want to be an official, you still want to get fame.

I also go to work for a while first, and if I really can't do the job well, or if I get injured or sick, I will ask for another leave.

Never refuse to be recruited, because that will be blacklisted for eternity.

The Xintaixi talents at the scene were all stunned.

Considering the terrifying threat that Liu Weizhi uttered, even those who really didn't want to be an interpreter dared not speak up.

In addition, everyone was reluctant, and finally got this fame, and really didn't want to just give up.

So in the end, all the rookies accepted Liu Weizhi's appointment and were going to try it out first.

Including Roosevelt who just wanted to postpone, and Hegel, Faraday, Fourier later...

Gauss got full marks in all math-related exams, so he was left in the Yamen of the Changshi Mansion as an interpreter for the tax department.

Byron and Hegel were assigned to the propaganda department, and Faraday was assigned to the power energy department.

Although these translations are translations, the ability of most people is definitely not just a translation.

They are just civil servants who started as translators.

With the addition of this large number of fresh troops, the administrative efficiency of Dongyi Kingdom can also be greatly accelerated.
