Chapter 482 Old Zhu's Worries!(1/2)
As soon as Zhu Yunxi said these words, the silent playground suddenly erupted into enthusiastic cheers. Everyone shouted, "Emperor Taisun Shengming, Long live the Emperor Taisun."
To put it bluntly, neither the ancients nor the people of later generations like to drink chicken soup for the soul. Only tangible benefits can make people excited.
The benefits given by Zhu Yunxi were quite exaggerated. The imperial examination was held once every three years, and the imperial examination was held twice a year for the emperor's grandson.
Calculated, it means that there are six times more opportunities to become an official than those taking the imperial examination. Which scholar can not be excited?
As for the exam Zhu Yunxi mentioned, they are even less afraid.
On weekdays, they have one test every three days and one test every ten days in the county school. Exams have never stopped.
The key thing is that the exam is meaningless. It's a complete waste of time to always ask them to memorize useless things.
Zhu Yunxi looked at the lively scene below, with a faint and decent smile on his face, and his heart was as beautiful as a fox with a chicken in his mouth, he was so happy that he couldn't help it.
These children are too young and don’t know what kind of exam they will face next, hehehe...
Zhu Yunxi chatted with everyone for a while, mainly asking them if they had any other needs, such as whether the food in the cafeteria was good, whether they were satisfied with the conditions of the dormitory, etc.
When Zhu Yunxi was getting close to a group of young scholars, Gao Yu, the professor of Jinling Royal University, and several other faculty members secretly complained.
"Isn't His Majesty the Crown Prince too humble?"
"We have this dormitory and this cafeteria in our school, but we still need to ask them whether they are satisfied or not?"
"Haven't you seen that many scholars have gained a lot of weight just ten days after moving in?"
"That person's name is Yang Shiqi, he's almost as fat as a pig now!"
Several other people also complained.
"Who says it's not the case? There are more than a dozen dishes in the cafeteria, which are better than what the officials eat, and they don't have to spend any money. If they dare to say they are not satisfied again, they will really be struck by lightning!"
"Let's talk about the dormitory. Although it is a room for four people, the environment and hygiene are countless times better than those at Yingtianfu School. Who dares to complain?"
Zhu Shiqi, who had been complained about by several people, was secretly determined to lose weight. He was different from others. When the Emperor Taisun mentioned that there were exams twice a year, he was keenly aware that this was not a simple matter.
He has also read a lot of casual books in the library these days. For example, books on the basics of mechanics, the elements of geometry, and the basics of chemistry. Just the basics gave him a headache. If he went further into the advanced
How much time will it take to study?
Sure enough, after the emperor's grandson was polite to everyone, he replaced the vice president Qin Hengbo and took the stage, revealing the ferocious fangs of Jinling Royal Academy.
"Everyone, what do you think of the great study environment provided by the emperor's grandson for us?"
"satisfy!"
"Long live the Emperor's grandson!"
Qin Hengbo spoke again amidst the loud shouts.
"The reason why our school has such a good environment is because the Emperor Taisun saved it from himself!"
"The emperor's grandson only spent three hundred thousand taels of silver to build the North Palace, but to build our university, he spent a full one million taels of silver!"
"The Emperor's Grandson is worried that you will not have good food and housing, and that you will be frugal on food and expenses, so he will allocate us one hundred thousand taels of silver every month to provide you with extra meals, subsidize outstanding students, etc."
"How can we repay the Emperor Taisun's unparalleled kindness?"
"Study hard!"
"A scholar will die for his confidant!"
"The liver and brains are so messed up that it's time to die!"
"Knot grass and hold a ring in repayment..."
This time, everyone's slogans were mixed, and they could be said to be shouting a variety of things.
But generally speaking, the momentum was good, and it was very impassioned, like the rising sun and the roaring tiger in the valley. Qin Hengbo saw that the atmosphere was almost aroused, and immediately began to announce the teaching plan and school regulations of Jinling Royal University.
"Kingroyong University regularly organizes exams twice a year, in June and December each year..."
"Apart from
Test the compulsory mechanics, chemistry, mathematics, history, geography, Emperor Taisun's teachings, and the subjects you choose..."
"Elective majors at Jinling Royal University include Chinese studies, exploration, metallurgy, telecommunications, accounting, Chinese language, etc..."
"Ginling Royal University has also set up special subsidies for majors with large talent gaps. As long as you study the major, you can receive a monthly salary. If you have excellent test results, there are also special scholarships..."
The scholars, who had been in high spirits just now, fell silent after hearing Qin Hengbo's teaching plan.
They live and eat in the university these days, take various courses every day, and go to the library. They have a certain understanding of mechanics, chemistry, mathematics, etc., and know that these are contents that are not tested in the imperial examination.
However, now the emperor's grandson regards these strange and clever skills as compulsory courses. Isn't this a bit childish?
As for those professional courses, they are even more ridiculous. Except for Chinese studies that can be related to the Four Books and Five Classics, other exploration and metallurgy are not the work of craftsmen.
It is simply a disgrace to ask these innocent scholars from a noble family to learn this!
"Principal Qin, can you not take the so-called compulsory courses? I just want to learn the articles on imperial examination preparation so that I can participate in the imperial examination in the future..."
Qin Hengbo looked at the student who interrupted displeasedly. Seeing that the other student was well-dressed, he was basically convinced. He must be a child from a noble family. He failed to pass the exam this time, so he came to try his luck with the emperor's grandson.
Generally speaking, children from such aristocratic families are not very able to endure hardship, and they are not likely to be able to see a few taels of scholarship every month. Therefore, as long as they stay in school for a period of time, they will drop out.
Although Qin Hengbo had concluded that this person would not stay for a long time, he still explained it to him very patiently.
"Can't you understand people?"
"I just made it very clear that this is a required course!"
"What does "compulsory course" mean? "Can't you understand?"
"Compulsory courses are lessons that must be studied. You have to learn them even if you don't want to learn them!"
After Qin Hengbo patiently explained to the young man from the aristocratic family, he stated his teaching philosophy again.
"Everyone, I know that you have objections to the compulsory courses in our school, but I still want to emphasize that only those who have studied the compulsory courses and passed the examination can become an official with the Emperor Taisun!"
"Otherwise, why do you have six times more chances to become an official than others?"
"Everyone, I would like to say a few words here briefly."
"You are lucky, you are happy, you have caught up with the opportunity of Ming Dynasty's rapid development, and the opportunity to change the world, change the world..."
After an hour passed, Qin Hengbo finally finished his "two sentences", and the scholars listening below were completely confused by him.
After Qin Hengbo said that the meeting was dismissed, they all ran to the hut at the same time... This old man was really good at talking, and if he didn't dismiss the meeting, he would wet his pants!
After a group of young scholars solved their personal problems, they just happened to catch up with the cafeteria for dinner. They could only temporarily suppress their dissatisfaction and hurried to the cafeteria, turning their grief and anger into appetite, intending to eat up the school and the emperor.
Sun.
However, there are some special cases, such as wealthy businessmen and children from aristocratic families whose families are very well-off. They did not even wait for Qin Hengbo to finish "two sentences" before leaving quietly.
Because they have no shortage of food!
In the eyes of ordinary scholars, the canteen is like a paradise, but in their eyes, it is just that, far less delicious than the food in the restaurant.
After all, the restaurant's meals are all freshly fried and cooked, unlike those big pot meals in the cafeteria. It looks like there are a lot of dishes, but the taste is not satisfactory.
Late at night, the president's office of Jinling University.
Qin Hengbo looked at the lists of personnel submitted by each dormitory building and sighed secretly. After he finished explaining the teaching plan, three thousand people left that day!
Although he had expected that some people would leave, he never expected that there would be so many!
Seeing Qin Hengbo's expression, Gao Ming calmly took the statistical list and looked at it, then threw it aside with disdain.
"Your Majesty the Emperor's Grandson, I've already told you, right?
"There are not many poor people who can afford to study!"
"Although our Ming Dynasty reformed the old, it only overturned the tyranny of the Yuan Dynasty and had no impact on the great families of the past dynasties."
"How can those children from aristocratic families like us crooked people?"
"Everyone thinks about how to be an official, how to maintain the family status, and how to maintain the dignity of the family!"
Yang Xinluo felt a little unhappy when he heard this. This bitch was slandering others again!
However, what makes Yang Xinluo depressed is that the current result is really embarrassing!
He didn't even need to look at the list to know that those leaving today must be children from rich families.
These children, why don’t they want to suffer at all?
Zhu Yunxi took the list and looked at it, then silently put it aside.
"No problem!"
"Only 3,000 people have left. Let's wait a month and see how many are left..."
After hearing this, several people looked at the emperor's grandson in unison.
"Your Highness, do you think someone will leave?"
After hearing this, Zhu Yunxi leaned back on the chair leisurely, put his hands behind his head and said calmly.
"This is inevitable!"
"Not to mention the two required courses of mechanics and chemistry, mathematics alone can drive many people crazy!"
