Chapter 508 Graduating from Nantah University is equal to Juren, a researcher is equal to a Jinshi, and an academician is equal to Hanlin

Although Nantah graduates' candidates for future vacancies are in principle the same level and principle as candidates for candidates.

But a discerning person with official experience can still see the subtle differences.

After all, judging from the current intention of the imperial court, the graduates of Nanjing University in the future, because they mainly major in science and engineering, will independently pull out a line for them to wait for vacancies.

For example, a financial officer who focuses on the Ministry of Households needs a relatively strong mathematical foundation, or a technical bureaucrat from the Ministry of Industry also has hard requirements for practical ability.

Therefore, if the number of graduates from Nanjing University is small in the next few years, the pressure to queue up for granting real vacancies will not be so intense, and you may be able to become an official after a symbolic wait.

This is tantamount to being treated as a Juren in name, but the benefits you get are actually similar to Jinshi.

Unless the number of science and engineering graduates also skyrockets in the future, and the value of academic qualifications also depreciates, then the number of years required to wait for a lack of real jobs will also be extended.

Then everyone has to go to the follow-up selection equivalent to Jinshi.Of course, in Nanjing University, the follow-up examination will not be called the Jinshi Section, but will be called the Postgraduate Entrance Examination.

The "researcher of the Academy of Sciences" in the future is equivalent to the candidates and other real vacancies for Jinshi. Before being awarded an administrative position, they can also enjoy the seventh-rank salary and do research work in the Academy of Sciences.If you are outstanding in the Academy of Sciences, you will become an "academician".

Therefore, graduating from NTU is equivalent to graduating from the Imperial College or being promoted, a researcher is equivalent to a Jinshi candidate, and an academician is equivalent to Hanlin.

Of course, these are things for later. Anyway, the sad situation of "depreciation of academic qualifications" will definitely not happen to the newly established "old three" in Nanjing University. They are sure that everyone has a bright future.

It will be at least ten or eight years or even longer before it depreciates.

What is more worthy of concern at the moment is actually the fate of the hundreds of scholars and supervisors who previously spread rumors about the imperial government's policies.

Undoubtedly, these people were punished by the imperial court according to the law. Those who deserved to be expelled from their meritorious service, and those who should change their nationality to enter the factory to make screws will change their nationality.Let others learn a lesson, and don't criticize the court's unsettled policies in the future.

……

The imperial court's final disposition opinion was officially announced soon, and the scholars in Nanjing city and several surrounding prefectures saw the result immediately.

According to the final statistics, there are a total of two Jinshi who have not yet been appointed and who have just passed the current examination, as well as 230 Juren, 96 three scholars, and [-] Guozijian students, who are involved in this crime of criticizing the government and spreading rumors. .

From the perspective of the origin of the personnel, there are not too many locals in Yingtianfu, only a few dozen.On the contrary, there are more people from Jiangxi and Zhejiang, and more than [-] people were involved in the case——

Perhaps this was also the war at the turn of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and it did not affect Jiangxi and Zhejiang provinces. However, the surrounding areas of Nanzhili were cleaned by Duoduo's bandit army, and the famous scholars were hit hard.

Therefore, Jiangxi and Zhejiang are the majority of the "conservative forces" who hold on to the handicapped and refuse to let go, and naturally more of them jumped out in the end, and there is no such thing as deliberate suppression of a certain place.

Scholars all over the world saw this situation at the beginning, and saw that the court had launched another major case, and hundreds of people's reputations were lost just for "convicting them for their words", and they couldn't help but feel a little uproarious.

Some impulsive scholars almost wanted to reverse the case again, and some people said in private that this incident might be an arbitrary decision made by the emperor when he was young and eager for success after taking office.Maybe the regent and the Ministry of history did not support it at first.

However, in the face of severe punishment just now, not many people dare to publicize it publicly.And just a few days later, as the court released other rumors, these opposing voices were completely suppressed.

The imperial court didn’t say anything else, but asked the governments around Nanjing and even Jiangxi and northern Zhejiang to focus on two points: this incident must not be regarded as “criminal for words” but only for “rumours and slander” , are completely different in nature.

If you have your own political opinions, I suggest that the court will not use words to sin, but if you fabricate laws that the court has not implemented, and insist on "seeking the enemy out of nothing" and "shooting targets out of nothing", then you will be severely punished.

The interpretation of the details of this policy was quickly grasped by caring people, and those with energy and brains all made it clear:
The imperial court used this trick well!Viciously used!He didn't say that people can speak freely and express their opinions.But the only thing is not to let people talk about things that have not been settled by the court and are still in the decision-making process.

Of course, if the court finally did what you were discussing, it would not be "rumour-making". As long as it is not spreading rumors, it is not a big problem.

But if there are people who say something like "the bad government of XX must not be allowed to pass, it must not be done, it is the work of a tyrant", and finally found that the court did not do so.Then this is the empty search for the enemy to pour dirty water on the court.

For example, this time, at the beginning, those who spread rumors said that "the imperial court plans to abolish the imperial examination in the future", and also said that "the imperial court will allow those who have not passed the old-style imperial examination to directly enter Nanjing University", but in the end these two points were proved fake.

The imperial court has no intention of abolishing the imperial examinations, and the entrance examination qualifications for Nantah University require first being a scholar. The value of the old-fashioned education received by the current vested interests will not be wasted.If you want to change your career to study science, you must at least have the ability to be a scholar. This threshold has blocked many people who are partial to the subject. What are the people who are scholars not satisfied with?

Seeing that the imperial court is still doing well in this regard, most of the benefits that the scholar class wants to get are still kept, who wants to be the first bird?Then we have to let the hundreds of guys who were used as guns voluntarily be unlucky.

The court's action can be regarded as dividing and disintegrating scholars, only targeting those who are not clear-headed and jumping out first, and only changing a little bit each time, less touching some interests, cutting flesh with blunt knives, and boiling frogs in warm water for most of the remaining opposition.

Scholars are the most selfish group. After understanding this truth, who would burn themselves to dig wells for others.

And once this cognitive inertia is formed, the court will be able to quietly release rumors every time in the future. For example, it is clear that there are only three points to be reformed, but five points are released.

Then wait for someone to spray. Once two of the five points are sprayed hard, then withdraw those two points. When the final official plan is announced, there are no those two points, only three points, and then backhand the void. The person who searched for these two points of the enemy's spray was arrested.

For example, Zhu Shuren plans to use Chinese and Oulu mathematics and physics lecturers to teach at the same time in the university (but Oulu lecturers need to provide translators and learn Chinese slowly. A buffer period can be given, but foreign language teaching will not be allowed all the time.)
After all, there are great mathematicians like Newton Leibniz, so it is not in vain. Of course, we must give them the opportunity to take classes in person.Although Newton's teaching level seems to be rubbish, his knowledge is also good.

And this kind of move will definitely be opposed, because how could the Confucian scholar-bureaucrat class give up its monopoly on the right to academic interpretation?Even if they can accept the new learning, they definitely hope to be taught by their own people, just like how can the secretary of the Imperial College be held by someone without fame?Since students must have at least a scholarly reputation, teachers must have a bottom line of fame.

Of course Zhu Shuren had to suppress this kind of resistance.So he used the above-mentioned fishing method to kill a group of the most vicious rotten scholars.

If it doesn't take a few times, the most vehement rotten Confucians who oppose the new learning will be almost tossed.

What's more, Zhu Shuren is actually the founding king of the country, the world was brought down by force by him, how could the rotten Confucianism really hinder him.

……

Ever since, after more than a month of repeated discussions, the matter of running a school in Nanjing University has been completely settled, including the follow-up school scale, location selection, initial subject setting, and teacher selection conditions.

At the beginning, some people suggested that the school should be located in the city of Nanjing, especially in the southwest corner of the city, next to the Qinhuai River outside the city wall, and adjacent to the Confucius Temple and Guozijian.

But Zhu Shuren directly rejected this idea.He knew what a place of filth and filth was around the Qinhuai River, and how many of the Imperial College students were sincerely eager to learn.Especially those prison students who spend money to donate, all of them are very rich, and they go shopping around the Confucius Temple every day.

In the future, the science and engineering students of Nantah University must be relatively less wealthy than the liberal arts students of Guozijian. If they are thrown into this big dyeing vat for comparison, they will be psychologically unbalanced, so how can they devote themselves to learning?

Therefore, Zhu Shuren said, "The times have changed, and now it is the age of science. In front of the cannon, all beings on the walls are equal. In the future, the country will not be threatened by mountains and streams. The land in Nanjing is small, so there is no need to set up new schools in the city, and you don't need to care about the protection of the city walls." "Because of this, he decisively demanded to set up a school outside the city.

After deciding to enclose land outside the city, someone suggested setting up a school in Jiangning Town, because there are already a large number of research institutes, museums, and heavy industry factories and mines in the southwestern suburbs of Nanjing all the way to Ma'anshan, which are very suitable for supporting science and engineering.

But Zhu Shuren denied it again, and he explained the difference between "basic science and applied technology" to other court officials.In the final analysis, the Daming Academy of Sciences and the factories, mines, and research institutes in Jiangning and Ma'anshan still make up for their weaknesses with hard work, relying on hard work and trial and error to promote scientific and technological progress, and lack the ideological basis for guiding practice with theory.

Therefore, to engage in basic theoretical research, what is needed is a relatively clean environment.Not to be disturbed by the noise of the industry.The Academy of Sciences and major research institutes already have their own positions, and there is no need for Nanjing University to join in the fun.

As a result of the final calculation, Nanjing University was set up in the suburbs on the other side of Nanjing City. After crossing the Zijin Mountains, another land was requisitioned for construction in the gentle hills of Xianhe Mountain in the eastern suburbs of the city.

This choice is actually quite normal.Because according to the inertia of history, the later Nanjing city in the parallel time and space has a total of three major university towns, Xianlin and Jiangning in the south of the Yangtze River, and Pukou in the north of the Jiangnan.

In this era, there is no bridge on the Yangtze River, and it is too inconvenient to cross the river, so Pukou must be directly ruled out.Jiangning was also used as a base for applied technology and experimental trial and error, so Nanjing University had no choice but to be placed in the "Xianlin University City" of later generations.

However, when this place was in the Ming Dynasty, the place name was definitely not "Xianlin", but "Xianhe Mountain" and "Fanghe Forest", which were combined and abbreviated by later generations.

Anyway, the hilly dry land outside the city was worthless, Zhu Shuren didn't even need to acquire land with a swipe of his pen, he directly allocated several thousand mu of land to the Huangzhuang of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Xianhe Mountain as the land for the first phase of the construction of Nantah University.

The local environment is densely forested and very quiet, and there are actually not many fields that have been reclaimed.In the first phase of the university, the number of staff was not large, so Zhu Shuren ordered that the trees should not be destroyed excessively, and it would be fine to just choose an open space in the woods to build a house and run the school.In the future, when the hilly and dry fields are full, then consider enclosing more land or cutting forests.

Zhu Shuren's decision was obviously influenced by the education of later generations.He also traveled to Harvard and MIT in his later generations. Those universities didn't even have walls, and they built houses in the woods, and the environment was quite quiet.

The real value of a university lies in the masters, not the mansion.

Considering that it takes time to build a house and supporting facilities, and it also takes time for the teaching team to adjust and get familiar with each other, those "foreign teachers" also have to learn Chinese first.

The imperial court finally set the official opening time of Nanjing University as three days after the Lantern Festival in the eighth year of Xiaokang, that is, the eighteenth day of the first lunar month.And the last few months of the seven years of Xiaokang were first used to do the above-mentioned things, which can be regarded as the "university preparation period".

At the same time, the Ministry of Rites is about to organize an additional "Nanjing University Entrance Examination" after this year's autumn. The rural examination is in September, and this entrance examination will be held in October and a half of the lunar calendar. The time is staggered so that the Ministry of Rites can coordinate manpower.

Rankings will be released at the end of October after the exam, and those who rank in the top few hundred can enter the first class of Nantah University.The reference qualification is that anyone who has the title of scholar, superintendent, or higher can take the test.
However, the content of the exam is only mathematics, physics and chemistry, plus a practical essay. The topic selection is still biased towards engineering management and financial management.

However, the score of Shenlun only accounts for 30.00% of the total score, which is equivalent to the composition of the college entrance examination. Therefore, if the mathematics, physics and chemistry are too poor, it is impossible to be admitted only if the Shenlun is well written.In addition, the liberal arts content of the other Four Books and Five Classics is completely absent.

Of course, the content setting of this examination subject makes many scholars who only study the Four Books and Five Classics reconciled, but I heard that this year's examination system is only a trial implementation, and it will be gradually adjusted in the next few years.

And considering that this year is a sudden attack, although most people have poor grades in mathematics and have never studied physics, so are others.

As a result, some smart people, after the imperial court announced the exam time, began to frantically supplement mathematics, trying to take advantage of the opportunities that no one else had to carry out surprise attacks.

"Hurry up and get ready to cram in math! If it's too late, it's too late! It is said that the imperial court's current selection criteria for the examination qualifications are strict requirements that only those with a reputation as a scholar can take the examination!
However, Fang Shangshu from the Ministry of Industry suggested at the meeting yesterday that in the future, "ordinary employees who have already engaged in basic experimental work in the Academy of Sciences should also be granted reference qualifications."If you pass the exam, you can study for several years, and your professional title in the Academy of Sciences can also be improved in the future.

Those of us who read the Four Books and Five Classics are really better than mathematics and physics, I am afraid that they are not as good as those handyman craftsmen in the Academy of Sciences, why not hurry up and take the exam while the previous three courts did not allow craftsmen without merit to refer to it!After this village, there will be no such shop! "

Of course, not all the staff in the Daming Academy of Sciences are researchers.There are also many who are just craftsmen, but because they are good at research, doing experiments and tinkering with machinery, they are also left in the Academy of Sciences to do odd jobs.

Of course, these people don't even have the reputation of scholars, and they don't have the opportunity to read the Four Books and Five Classics, but if it is compared with mathematics and geometry, these people are probably much better than scholars.

So the scholars who were still complaining and wanted to change careers heard that Fang Yizhi fought for the rights and interests of ordinary experimenters and craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry system at the court meeting, but the regent temporarily rejected it, which gave the scholars three The time difference between the years, of course the scholars have to hurry up.

Mathematics and physics textbooks in Nanjing were out of stock for a while, and those who wanted to take the exam began to brush up the questions, and no one made irresponsible remarks.
