Chapter 606 It's time for the Academy of Sciences to show up

Yang Reform used a huge sedan chair to carry Song Yingxing, and praised Song Yingxing on the spot.

Song Yingxing seemed to be in a dream, in a cloud, not knowing how he stood up, nor how he answered, let alone how he sat down, his heart was beating violently all the time.

After Yang Reform had finished his praise, he continued to write questions. Today, he had to make the whole sedan chair, but now, he only made half of it.

Everyone looked at Song Yingxing with envious eyes. Although they were envious, they didn't think there was a big problem. Everyone saw the scene today. Many people got rewards, not just one or two. Song Yingxing was only among the crowd. One of the reasons is that the emperor took care of the Guozijian, not the emperor targeting someone in particular.

"Then I will come up with the third question..." Yang Reform smiled and said a few words to Song Yingxing, and then started to ask the question again.

The scene fell silent, and the students stretched their necks to look at the emperor again.

"...The first two questions are food and clothing, so the third question is living..." Yang Reform began to ask the third question.

"...Suppose the imperial court appoints you as immigration officers to build resettlement houses for immigrants in a certain place. Now it is known that XXX bricks and XXX tiles are needed to build a house for five people,..." Yang Reform wrote again The third question, this one, is actually just an arithmetic problem, a very simple arithmetic application problem.

When the students saw this question, many of them felt at ease and quickly calculated it. If they had a little common sense, or if they studied hard in the Imperial College, they could write it down quickly. However, even so Simple arithmetic word problems, there are still many people who can't do it, scratching their heads there.

Soon, the answers were collected. This time, the correction was much faster than the last time. After a while, Lin Qian came to report with the paper.

"Your Majesty, this question has been judged by the ministers and others, and nearly 160 students have answered it correctly." Lin Qian was quite satisfied with the result.

Yang Reform took it, flipped through the paper for a while, then nodded with a smile: "Not bad, not bad,...mate, write it down, I'll see the reward later..." Yang Reform flipped it, said reward, and put the paper Handed it to Wang Chengen.

"I obey the order!" Wang Chengen quickly took the stack of papers and asked people to remember their names.

Seeing that this level was easily passed, more than 100 students were rewarded, and the students off the field became happy again. This time the emperor talked with everyone, and it was indeed very relaxed and happy.It's worth spending money to enter the Imperial College!
"Lin Qing's family..." Before Yang Reform came up with a question, he was going to show off.

"The minister is here." Lin Qian replied quickly.

"Your Guozijian students answered the first three questions well, but my fourth question is a little more difficult. I don't know if you are sure about your Guozijian students?" Yang Reform He smiled and said to Lin Qian.

"Your Majesty, please come up with a question. I am sure about the students." In addition to saying that he is sure, Lin Qian can also say that he is not sure?He asked the emperor to come up with a question immediately, and he knew that the emperor probably wouldn't make him unable to step down.

"Hehe, that's good....Since this is the case, then I will have to ask more difficult questions. If I can satisfy me, I will reward you a lot!" Yang Reform first talked to Lin Qian, and then told the audience students said.

This scene immediately became lively, and there was a big reward, so what kind of reward should it be?I'm afraid that ordinary objects can't be regarded as heavy rewards. They are all people with fame and fame. If we talk about heavy rewards, they can only be officials. For them, officials are neither difficult nor difficult to obtain. Things, for them, being an official is not particularly difficult. They have the qualifications to be an official, but they are really powerless to be a high-ranking official. If the beginning is an official given by the emperor, then this official will obviously not only end with a seventh-rank official. Many students' faces turned redder, their breathing became heavier, and they were ready to gamble.

"Your Majesty, I respectfully invite you to come up with a question!" Lin Qian's face was also a little red, and he quickly asked the emperor to come up with a question. To be honest, the emperor was able to come to the Imperial College to talk to the students like this, that is, he was the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine. If someone else was to be replaced, the emperor might not come, and the emperor went to the Guozijian to talk and play with the students, which was something that hadn't happened for many years. Lin Qian knew that this was the emperor's praise and support for him. After this incident, whether his position in the Imperial College or in the party that runs the school, he will be stronger, and he will immediately give birth to the voice of a scholar who dies for his confidant.Lin Qian knew that he was an honest person, he was not good at arguing, and he would inevitably suffer losses when getting along with others. Over time, it was easy for people to despise him, which was extremely detrimental to his work. Now that the emperor praised him so much, how could he be able to I'm not grateful... Now that the court is full of turmoil, the emperor is probably afraid that something will happen to him here... Thinking of this, Lin Qian was even more moved.

"Then I'm going to come up with a question. Listen up, everyone. This 'OK' naturally involves carriages. Then I'll take the carriage as the topic and ask about these four-wheeled carriages..." Yang Reform said with a smile.

When the students heard this question, they were not surprised. Nowadays, everyone knows about the four-wheeled carriage. It is a hot topic. They all stretched their necks and listened carefully.

"... There are three parts to this question. If you answer the first part correctly, you are considered qualified and you can get a reward; if you answer the second part correctly, you can get double rewards. If you can answer the third part, I will give you a big reward..." Yang Reform said The tastes of the students were raised high.

A group of students stretched their necks high to look at the emperor. Many of them leaned forward, as if they could hear more clearly if they leaned forward a little.

"...First, list the applications of the four-wheeled carriage, and talk about where it can be used; second, talk about the difference between the four-wheeled carriage and the two-wheeled carriage, what are the differences, where are the differences, and what are the advantages of each Disadvantages; thirdly, everyone knows that there is a difference between the four-wheeled carriage made by Ouchi and the ordinary four-wheeled carriage, and the difference lies in a steel plate, so I have to ask, how is this steel plate made?" Yang Reform He smiled and said his own problem.

As soon as the students heard this question, they immediately began to write. This question is actually difficult to say, and it is difficult to say that it is not difficult.

The first part, in fact, basically everyone knows that horse-drawn carriages are used for riding. If you want to say where to use it, the easiest way is to ride by yourself. If you often go to the street, you will naturally know that there are public carriages, and you will naturally know that horse-drawn carriages are okay. For transportation, if you answer these parts, you can be said to be qualified. Of course, if you have a higher level of thinking and vision, and think more about questions, you will naturally write tanks and personnel carriers. This question Seemingly simple, but practical, it is also a question that tests one's vision and depth of thinking.

As for the second part, it looks simple, but in fact, it is a test of people's vision and experience, and it is also a means of screening others. If it is a second-generation ancestor, it is naturally impossible to write that the four-wheeled carriage is more than the two-wheeled carriage. Bogies, it is impossible to write about the advantages of four-wheeled carriages in terms of load. Guys who have never traveled far, naturally do not know that four-wheeled carriages are not suitable for some rough areas.

As for the third part, this is purely a question for Song Yingxing. Song Yingxing has been researching this aspect all the time, and Tiangong Kaiwu will be completed in two years. At this time, he should have accumulated a lot of information. Ask this question , is really asking the right person.

The students were writing hard, and no one was in a daze. No matter how bad they were, they could still write something about carriages. This small examination room was quiet and full of hope.

Song Yingxing was so excited, his heart was beating wildly. The question asked by the emperor was almost directly asking him what kind of knowledge he had in his chest. Song Yingxing wanted to write down the knowledge in his heart at once, although he didn't know how the steel plate was made. What is the formula, but he considers himself to be an expert in metallurgy, at least he can do it sideways, and if given a certain amount of time, he is confident that he can also make that kind of steel plate.

It took a lot of time to test this thing, and all the students wrote things together. After writing, it was Lin Qian who led others to comment, which took a lot of time.

In the unanimous waiting of everyone, the "paper" was finally released.

"Your Majesty, I have already read it. I can still tell the difference between the first question and the second question, but I can't do anything about the third question..." Lin Qian reported.They were able to make judgments on the first and second questions, and give the students a high score, but they didn't know how to judge the third question, so they could only leave this question to the emperor.

"Oh, for the third question, I'll judge it myself." Yang Reform didn't flinch, and decided to correct the paper himself.

"According to the order!...Your Majesty, these are the papers collected by the ministers, and those who did the third question, please have a look..." Lin Qian handed over another stack of "papers", this one is not many , but twenty or thirty.

Yang Reform looked at it, but there were only twenty or thirty pieces. He knew that not many scholars knew about this aspect, let alone proficient in it, so he should be able to achieve his goal today.

Under everyone's expectation, Yang Reform picked up the paper and began to correct it himself, while Wang Chengen hurriedly prepared the ink pen.

Yang Reform quickly opened the stack of papers. Song Yingxing's name was not on the first sheet. Yang Reform was not familiar with the name of the person on the first sheet. Based on the principle that he might find unexpected talents, Yang Reform also read carefully. , but this paper on the first paper obviously doesn't know much about metallurgy. At most, he knows some knowledge about "[-]% silver, [-]% copper". In fact, it can be said that he doesn't know anything about metallurgy.

Yang Reform put down the first paper, and picked up the second paper. This one knows more, at least he knows how to set up a stove, burn charcoal and iron ore, and iron can be obtained, at least he has touched some edges. .

The level of the next few pictures is at most similar to that of the second one, which is at the level of setting up a furnace to make iron. All the myths and stories have been made out, and there are people who say they want sacrifices.

When the last paper was corrected, it was Song Yingxing's paper. Yang Reform read it seriously, and I have to say that it is indeed of a real standard, and the writing is quite detailed, such as how to set up the stove, how to use materials, how to mix wrought iron and pig iron, How to refine, what are the processes in the middle, what should be paid attention to, how to observe the color, the process is written in considerable detail, and there is a lot of analysis, and even some conclusions about metals. In some respects, he dare not say that he has a steady victory over Song Yingxing.

Yang Reform looked at it for a moment and had to be convinced that this person really had a clue.

Yang Reform picked up a vermilion pen, drew a circle on the paper, and drew another circle under Song Yingxing's name.

"It seems that I have underestimated the students of the Guozijian, but you have given me a problem..." Yang Reform said with some helplessness and admiration, but his tone was unexpected.

Seeing the emperor's expression, everyone didn't understand.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, this...?" Lin Qian hurried out to take up the conversation. He was also surprised why the emperor would say that.

"Hehe..., this is also my fault, I have underestimated the students of the Imperial College! To be honest, although I promised to give a big reward to those who answered the last question correctly, this question is not so difficult. I think no one can answer it. I figured it out, that's why I promised to give a big reward, but now, someone has answered it again, I... oh, how should I put it, hehe, I shot myself in the foot with a stone..." Yang Reform smiled Dao, with a "very unlucky" look, in front of these students, he is quite easy-going, has no airs, and is very close to the "people".

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, what is the reason?" Lin Qian asked again hastily.

"Hey..., well, don't the Lin Qing family know that the reason why the four-wheeled carriages made by Ouchi are different from those made by ordinary merchants is that the steel plates are different. This steel plate is the secret of the Zunhua Iron Smelting Institute. , the exclusive craftsmanship, I think outsiders will not know, but now, there is a student here who has written the process of making steel plates. Although it is not [-]% accurate, it is also [-]% accurate..." Yang Reform said with a smile.

"Ah!..." Everyone was unanimously surprised. Is there really someone who has such a great ability to figure out the secret of the emperor's business?If it is really as the emperor said, then it is really a cow.

"Ah! Your Majesty, this, this..." Lin Qian stuttered, not knowing how to express himself. There are such capable people in his Guozijian?
"... Sigh, it's my fault. I shouldn't have asked this question. Now it's embarrassing. Now someone has made a question, but it's hard for me to announce it..., oh..." Yang Reform said. Difficult look.

"Your Majesty, why is it difficult to announce it?" Lin Qian asked.

"...The Qing family, this is announced. Doesn't it also announce the secrets of the ironworks?" Yang Reform said softly to Lin Qian. Although this was said softly, everyone present heard it, and everyone who heard it , many people laughed secretly, it is rare for the emperor to be deflated!
Lin Qian blushed even more, why did this happen?

The students immediately took the opportunity to whisper to each other, talking excitedly. They may never encounter such a thing in their lifetime. It is very lucky to encounter something that stumps the emperor today. In the future, it will at least be something for bragging , and even something that can be written into the family tree.

Yang Reform put on a fake show. Today's sedan chair is considered complete, and it's time to end it. For this Song Yingxing, he has spent a lot of time thinking!If this celebrity doesn't produce more "milk" for himself in the future, he will really feel sorry for himself for spending so much energy. With Song Yingxing's reputation, Yang Reform feels that it is worth the price.

"Forget it, forget it, I can't count my words..." Yang Reform pressed his hand, and the courtiers at the side immediately knew what the emperor meant, and immediately waved to silence the students present. They knew that this was what the emperor wanted to say mean.

"...Song Yingxing!" Yang Reform shouted with a smile.

"The student is here!" Song Yingxing stood up anxiously. As soon as the emperor said it, he knew that the emperor probably meant him. Although he hadn't personally tested how to make the special steel plate, he knew the general method. With enough time and financial resources, he could make that kind of steel plate. When he heard the emperor say that he had figured out the secrets of the ironworks, he became afraid again, fearing that someone else would kill him. Think about it, it was the emperor, I shouldn't make it difficult for me, a little person, and I feel relieved..., my heart is really ups and downs, uneasy, and when I heard the emperor shouting, I immediately stood up.

When Song Yingxing stood up, he immediately attracted everyone's attention. Many people exclaimed, is he the emperor talking about?The exclamations and gazes of many people immediately turned into envy and hatred all over the place.

"Regarding the matter of the steel plate today, we must not keep it a secret, is it possible?" Yang Reform said to Song Yingxing with a smile.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the student can do it." Song Yingxing hurriedly replied, this was the second time he had spoken to the emperor, and it had surpassed the number of times many Jinshi had spoken to the emperor.

"Actually, I'm also to blame for this matter. I shouldn't have come up with such a narrow question when I set the question today. I thought that no one would be able to solve such a narrow question. I even promised a big reward. Where is it?" Knowing that there are more powerful players among the strong, and meeting such a genius as you,..., you were the one who answered the 'wear' question earlier?" Yang Reform asked.

"Return to Your Majesty, it's the student!" Song Yingxing quickly agreed.

"Well, it seems that I came to the right place today. I didn't expect that there are such talents in this Guozijian. I originally wanted to reward some gold and silver, but I see that you have good knowledge in many aspects. I must have worked hard to get to many people's livelihoods, but I have changed my original intention. After all, gold and silver are too vulgar, and I would like to come up with a new one. If you can answer a few questions I raised, I might as well reward you as an official, let you show your ambitions, if you can't answer, I will still honor the previous promise of a big reward, how about a thousand gold rewards? How about courage?" Yang Reform said with a smile, slowly Slowly hook up the reward and the official, the sedan chair is about to be completed.

"Return to Your Majesty, the student is willing!" Song Yingxing agreed excitedly.

All the students exclaimed one after another, envy, jealousy and hatred are for sure.

"Since I use officials as rewards, naturally I can't ask too biased questions. How about this, I will ask you something related to people's livelihood..." Yang Reform said seriously. Now, the sedan chair has been lifted up, and Song Yingxing is given a performance His own stage depends on Song Yingxing's own ability. Yang Reform doesn't believe that a person who can write "Heavenly Creation" will have no ink in his heart?

Song Yingxing bowed his hands and bowed in agreement.

"Then I will publish an article about agriculture first..." At this time, Yang's reform goal has been achieved, creating a good opportunity for Song Yingxing. With this promotion of Song Yingxing, Song Yingxing's future future can be said. It is relatively lenient, unlike Juren who basically stops at the seventh rank.

The Academy of Sciences reformed by Yang, because Xu Guangqi and Sun Chengzong are really inseparable, and they are too old, lack a key figure with comprehensive knowledge, ability and willingness to promote the overall progress of science and technology in the Ming Dynasty, and Song Yingxing is undoubtedly the best in the late Ming Dynasty. The candidate has been selected, and Song Yingxing's status as a candidate is a big obstacle to use Song Yingxing. After this "promotion", it should not be a problem anymore.At this time, the days of kicking down the elites of the late Ming Dynasty are not far away, and for future development, the Academy of Sciences should also show up.
