I, Jiajing, join the Ming Emperor chat group

Chapter 161 The first school of the Ming Empire goes online, reforms the imperial examinations, and adds mathematics!

Ziweijie, Guozijian.

"Your Majesty's visit to the Imperial College is really a blessing for my generation of students."

Guozijian Jijiu Yan Song led the way beside Zhu Houcong with a smile, guiding Zhu Houcong to visit the Guozijian, and did his best in everything.

Yan Song's fellow countryman, Xia Yan, has been officially appointed as the "Governor of Shaanxi-Gansu in the Taiwei Realm of the Ming Dynasty", and has gone to the other side of the world to take office. The governor-general of the Shaanxi-Gansu military is preparing for the war against the Junggar tribe.

And although he Yan Song is the Guozijian Jijiu, he is only equivalent to a university president, and there is still a big difference from the governor's feudal officials.

This is also the reason why Yan Song is worried.

He also wanted to make progress. Now that His Majesty the Emperor finally came to the Imperial College, Yan Song naturally had to prepare everything.

I, Yan Song, really want to improve.

As for Yan Song's current mental state, Zhu Houcong knew everything about it, but he just smiled, pretending not to know, and followed Yan Song to visit the entire Imperial College.

Yan Song slowly described the current situation of the Guozijian. After all, when he was in Nanjing, he was in charge of the Nanjing Guozijian's sacrifice wine. Work, he knows exactly what to do.

With the conquest of the Kangxi Dynasty, some historical books passed back to the Jiajing Dynasty. Regarding the "History of Ming Dynasty" compiled by the Qing Dynasty, both soldiers and literati in the Jiajing Dynasty were extremely indignant, saying that this was purely the slander of Jiannu. The morale of our army was greatly shaken, and we decided to strike hard and join the conquest of Jiannu.

And Yan Song naturally saw the history books.

Whether it is the legacy of the Ming Dynasty or the official history of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties.

They all wrote Yan Song's words.

Yan Song naturally read the relevant classics and the records in the classics.

Throwing away all subjective opinions, from an objective point of view, Yan Song realized how he made his fortune in history, and he also knew very well that His Majesty also knows about this matter, and he also understands what His Majesty wants to become Minister.

That's why Yan Song was so flattering.

Seeing this, Zhu Houcong couldn't help being very satisfied, and then said to Yan Song, "Yan Jijiu, what do you think of this imperial examination?"

"The imperial examination is the best way for the imperial court to select officials. The pillars selected by this examination can complete some trivial matters for His Majesty, contribute to the Ming Dynasty, and contribute their own light and heat."

When Yan Song heard this, he immediately raised his hands and said to Zhu Houcong: "It is all thanks to your majesty that the imperial examination is what it is today. I, a Ming Dynasty student, am now like the carp leaping over the dragon's gate."

Zhu Houcong shook his head immediately when he heard the words, and gave Yan Song a meaningful look: "Yan Qing, have you read "Ten Books of Suanjing"?"

The Ten Books of Mathematical Classics refers to ten famous mathematics works written in the Han and Tang Dynasties for more than 1000 years. In the Tang Dynasty, the Guozijian set up a mathematics hall, where doctors and teaching assistants were assigned to guide students in learning mathematics. During the reign of Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty, mathematics education and examinations were conducted.

After hearing Zhu Houcong's words, Yan Song was stunned, and then nodded and said: "Your Majesty, I will do some research."

Yan Song did know a little bit about mathematics, and many of the great bachelors at that time had read through it even if they were not proficient in it.

After all, calculating all kinds of national finances requires high mathematical skills. Even if you are not proficient, you still need to know a little bit.

When Zhu Houcong heard the words, he nodded immediately, and then sighed: "If I can master mathematics when I am a Jinshi in the imperial examination, how great would it be?"

After hearing Zhu Houcong's exclamation, Yan Song immediately realized something, and then echoed twice, planning to write a memorial when he went home, and asked for an addition to the imperial examination.

After all, this can no longer be said to be a hint.

This can be said to be explicit.

This incident may offend the scholars of the world.

But it doesn't matter.

As long as they can hug the emperor's thigh tightly, what will happen to these scholars, what else can they do?
It doesn't matter what these scholars think, anyway, these scholars have looked down on me, and secretly scolded me behind my back.

Seeing Yan Song's performance, Zhu Houcong was also very satisfied, nodded slightly, and praised Yan Song very much.

This sentence was naturally because Zhu Houcong wanted to reform the imperial examination.

After all, the current imperial examination, although Zhu Houcong has made some changes over the years, still cannot escape the four words "eight-legged essay to select scholars", which really restricts the minds of scholars.

Zhu Houcong is not the emperor of the traditional feudal society, he is the real emperor of cultivating immortals. With all kinds of means, how can the subjects of the world have plotters?Even if there are rebels, they are not afraid.

For the ancient feudal emperors, stereotyped selection of scholars was naturally an excellent means of controlling scholars.

But for Zhu Houcong, the stereotyped approach to recruiting scholars was about to be eliminated.

There were three main types of examinations in the imperial examinations in the Ming Dynasty: Economics, which focused on the Five Classics; and Legal, which focused on laws and regulations.Calligraphy, mainly calligraphy.

In the Tang Dynasty, mathematics was a supplementary subject in the imperial examination, but in the Ming Dynasty, mathematics completely disappeared in the imperial examination.

Now, Zhu Houcong decided to add arithmetic, that is, mathematics, on the basis of it.

The previous grades are naturally based on economics, supplemented by law, and books are judged as whether you can go further.

In today's Jiajing Dynasty, Zhu Houcong decided to focus on mathematics, law, and economics, and completely ignored the books, only keeping the papers.

The reason why Jingke was not abolished in one go, on the one hand, is that although Jingke is dross, it also has merits, and it should take its essence and discard its dross.

On the other hand, if classics is abolished in one fell swoop, what will happen to the hundreds of thousands of students who have read the Four Books and Five Classics every day over the years?Tell them not to take this exam anymore, but to take another exam?
People's hearts will be unstable.

It's good to do it little by little.

Although Zhu Houcong was the emperor of Xiuxian, the reform of the imperial examination was already a turbulent move. Zhu Houcong didn't want this to be the last straw that overwhelmed the camel.

and……

It doesn't matter if you keep the economics.

Economics, that is, the advanced version of college Chinese.

In the future, Zhu Houcong can subtly influence it by reducing the difficulty of economics and increasing the difficulty of mathematics.

This is what Zhu Houcong thinks.

It's simple and brutal.

And Yan Song became Zhu Houcong's backer, just like Yan Song in history.

After all, Yan Song is a professional scapegoat, and that's what he does.

At that time, scholars all over the world will only scold Yan Song for being a thief. He has included arithmetic in the imperial examination, and the questions are so difficult, so they won't scold the emperor.

Plan pass√
Zhu Houcong smiled softly, and when Yan Song saw Zhu Houcong's smile, he couldn't help but feel certain that his future was almost stable.

It seems that I am very likely to become the chief assistant of the cabinet of Ming Dynasty as written in the history books!

Yan Song's heart is now warm, and his steps have become much lighter.

But Zhu Houcong smiled.

He really wanted to promote Yan Song and do all the dirty work for himself.

However, he came to Guozijian today not to promote Yan Song so simply, but to arrange the modern university he bought just now.

Zhu Houcong asked: "Yan Song, if I want to re-establish a school, where do you think it would be better?"

Hearing Zhu Houcong's words, Yan Song was immediately stunned, then took a step back and said to Zhu Houcong: "Your Majesty, I am stupid. If a new school is established in the middle of the capital, then the residence near the capital will be empty except for the one where he performed meritorious service last time. In addition, we can only choose to go further out. There is a large garden on the left side of the garrison of the [-]th Regiment of the Beijing Camp. There are still martial arts students among the eunuchs of our country. If it is on the side of the Beijing Camp..."

For Yan Song, now is his imperial examination.The content of the chat with His Majesty the Emperor is related to whether he can be an official in the future.

After hearing Yan Song's words, Zhu Houcong thought for a moment, then nodded, and said, "You're right."

Originally, Zhu Houcong's idea was to remove the original Imperial College and directly replace the Imperial College with a modern university.

But when Yan Song said this, Zhu Houcong felt pretty good.

Yes.

Placed next to the barracks, it seems to be very good.

On the one hand, students of military studies in the Guozijian can have a chance to observe it up close, and on the other hand, the army can protect the Guozijian.

Kill two birds with one stone.

Judging from the current situation, for the current Ming Dynasty, war is the main development in the future. Whether it is government officials or technology, they are all preparations for war. The future officers in the academy are fundamental to the victory of the war.

Otherwise, a group of novices who don't understand anything, even if they are given excellent weapons and sufficient logistics, they will not be able to defeat the famous generals who are victorious in all battles.

Inadequacies in military command.

Of course, a famous general who has won all battles is enough to be dragged to death by a big country if he lacks weapons and logistics.

The two complement each other.

"Shan, let's go to the place Yan Song said."

Zhu Houcong flicked his sleeves and said to the surroundings.

"Zhe... No, no, it's Nuo!"

A eunuch on the side shouted subconsciously. After he finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong. He quickly knelt down and kowtowed, trembling.

Zhu Houcong looked around, but saw a eunuch with bright eyes and bright teeth, who looked rather smart, kneeling on the ground trembling at the moment, his face turned pale with fright.

At first glance, it is Xiao Guizi, Eunuch Gui, who helped Kangxi get rid of Obai, and is most likely the prototype of the protagonist in Jin Yong's novels.

Zhu Houcong couldn't help but chuckle and said: "I have always heard that you are smart and intelligent, how could you make such a mistake?"

"Slaves are guilty, slaves are guilty."

Xiao Guizi also quickly slapped herself, feeling remorse in her heart.

He was distracted just now.

Because he thought of his good friend Xiaoxuanzi, the death of Xiaoxuanzi brought great shock to Xiaoguizi, he felt a little regretful, just lost his mind, and accidentally shouted the wrong words.

Regret, terribly regret.

Seeing Xiao Guizi like this, Zhu Houcong was also very kind: "It's okay."

Hearing what Zhu Houcong said, Xiao Guizi felt relieved. Just when he was about to say something, he heard Zhu Houcong continue: "Just be more careful in the next life."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand, and immediately two eunuchs took Xiao Guizi down and prepared to kill him with a stick.

Nothing to say, Zhu Houcong doesn't need a slave like Xiao Guizi.

After all, on the one hand, he has no role, and on the other hand, since he can betray Xiao Xuanzi, who he grew up with, he can naturally betray himself.

If it was a general or a minister, Zhu Houcong might think about it, but Xiao Guizi was just an eunuch.

Eunuchs don't need to be very capable, they only need to be loyal enough, and that's all.

Now it's not the time for Da Ming to be rescued by the eunuch.

"Your Majesty, the slave has been wronged, wronged!"

Following Xiao Guizi's shrill cry, the people around Xiao Xuanzi followed closely behind and set off on the road with Xiao Xuanzi.

I don't know if the two of them will fight when they meet in the underworld.

But Zhu Houcong shook his head, and suddenly thought of something.

"By the way, there is also Kong Sizhen, a Han personality from the Qing Dynasty, right? It's good to directly enter the Jiaofang Division, and there is no need to do anything special. I am still very kind."

After Zhu Houcong finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and said to Yan Song, "Yan Aiqing, let's go."

"Yes!"

Yan Song did not dare to be careless, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he felt as if he was accompanying you like a tiger.

He can only lead the way for the tiger like a fox.

Not long after, Zhu Houcong arrived at Zhice, the military camp outside the city.

In the capital, all the [-]th Regiment Battalions have been mobilized, and it is Yu Dayou's Fubo Battalion that is currently stationed in Beijing for defense.

After fighting a few battles in the Kangxi Dynasty, Fuboying was transferred back by Zhu Houcong to defend the capital.

As for the other twelve regiment battalions, they still stayed in the Kangxi Dynasty and prepared for a new round of offensive.

Zhu Houcong is not idle either. He plans to take advantage of the fact that there are so many troops assembled and the logistics are worry-free, to wipe out Junggar, Annan, Japan and other places in one go, completely realize the unification of Asia, and then move on to the navy.

Looking at this open space with a very good location, Zhu Houcong nodded with satisfaction, and a pop-up window appeared in front of him.

[This place meets the conditions, and a 'Modern University' can be housed. Do you want to house it? 】

Seeing this situation, Zhu Houcong nodded without any hesitation and said, "Placement!"

And with Zhu Houcong's promise, all of a sudden, earth-shaking changes began to take place in front of him!

"Boom--!!!"

With Zhu Houcong's determination, soon, the surroundings began to fall into a stage of shaking.

The accompanying eunuchs, court ladies, and Jin Yiwei didn't know what happened, they couldn't help but fell into a panic for a while, and hurriedly guarded in front of Zhu Houcong, while Yan Song fell in a panic, came to Zhu Houcong in disgrace, and shouted Said: "There is a ground dragon to stand up, protect your majesty, protect your majesty!"

"My dear friends, don't be nervous."

Zhu Houcong smiled lightly, and then flicked his sleeves. In an instant, dust flew up and yellow sand rolled up: "This is because I colluded with the fairy world and descended to the attic of the fairy house!"

Accompanied by Zhu Houcong's sleeves fluttering, the wind blew violently.

A university full of history appeared in the sight of Zhu Houcong and his entourage.

Of course, this sense of history is for modern people.

For people in the Jiajing era, this place was simply a high-tech place!

Yan Song was already stunned and opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty will enjoy immortal blessings forever, and live as long as the heavens!"
