Although the future candidates for graduates of Nanjing University are the same as those of candidates for candidates in the future.

But those with discerning personalities who have the knowledge of the officialdom can still see the subtle differences.

After all, depending on the current meaning of the court, the future graduates of Nanjing University will independently draw a line for them to wait for them because they are mainly science and engineering.

For example, financial officers who focus on the Ministry of Revenue need a relatively strong mathematical foundation, or technical bureaucrats in the Ministry of Works also have the rigid requirements for practical ability.

So if there are fewer graduates from Nanjing University in the next few years, the pressure to queue for real and lacking will not be so intense, and it may be possible to become an official after a little time of symbolic queuing.

This is equivalent to the treatment of a juren in name, but the benefits gained in fact are similar to those of a Jinshi.

Unless the number of science and engineering graduates will surge in the future and their academic qualifications will also depreciate, the years required for a lack of real-time jobs will be extended more and more.

Then everyone had to take the follow-up selection that was equivalent to the Jinshi subject. Of course, at Nanjing University, the subsequent exam was not called Jinshi subject, but instead called the postgraduate entrance examination. This is not a far-fetched approach, but after graduating from Nanjing University in this era, you can continue to get into the exam and further your studies and become a "researcher" of the Ming Academy of Sciences.

Later, "researchers of the Academy of Sciences" are equivalent to candidates and other candidates. Before being awarded an administrative position, you can also enjoy a seventh-rank salary and do research in the Academy of Sciences. If you excel in the Academy of Sciences, you will become an "academician".

Therefore, graduation from Nanjing University is equivalent to graduation from Imperial College or Juren, researcher is equivalent to alternate Jinshi, and academician is equivalent to Hanlin.

Of course these are all later stories. Anyway, the tragic situation of "depreciation of academic qualifications" will definitely not happen to Nanjing University's newly established "old third class". They must all have a bright future.

It will be at least ten or eight years or even longer to depreciate.

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

These people were undoubtedly punished by the court according to law. Those who should be eliminated should be eliminated, and those who should be changed to their ranks and go to the factory to make screws will be changed. Let others learn some lessons and do not evaluate the policies that the court has not yet settled in the future.

...

The court's final disposal opinions were soon officially released. The scholars in Nanjing and several surrounding governments saw the results as soon as possible.

In the final statistics, there were two Jinshi who had not yet been awarded official positions, fourteen juren, two hundred and thirty-three scholars, and ninety-six Imperial College students involved in this crime of criticizing the government and spreading rumors.

In terms of the composition and origin of the people, there are not many local people in Yingtianfu, only a few dozen. There are more people in Jiangxi and Zhejiang, and more than a hundred people involved in the case-

Perhaps this was also the war at the junction of the Ming and Qing dynasties that year, and it did not affect Jiangxi and Zhejiang provinces. The surrounding areas of Nanzhili were at least cleaned by Duoduo's thief army, and the outstanding family of studying suffered a heavy blow.

Therefore, most of the "conservative forces" that are now unwilling to let go are: Jiangxi and Zhejiang, and there are naturally more people who jump out in the end, so there is no problem of deliberately suppressing a certain place.

When the Shilin of the World first saw this situation, he saw that the court had another big case, and he had lost hundreds of people's fame and fortune just by "being guilty for his words", he couldn't help but feel a little uproar.

Some impulsive scholars almost wanted to make trouble again, and some privately said that this time might be the arbitrary decision made by the emperor who was young and eager to achieve success after taking power. Maybe the Regent and Shigemen did not support it at the beginning.

However, there were not many people who dared to publicize it just now in the face of severe disposal. And in just a few days later, as the court released other rumors, these opposition voices were completely suppressed.

The court did not say anything else, but only asked the governments around Nanjing and even in Jiangxi and northern Zhejiang to focus on promoting two points: this incident cannot be considered as "criminal for words", but because of "rumor-mongering and slander", the nature is completely different.

If you have your own political views and suggestions, the court will not criticize others by saying that, but if you fabricate the laws that the court has not implemented, you must "seek enemies in the void" and "shoot targets in the void", then you will be severely punished.

The interpretation of this policy details was quickly mastered by those with ulterior motives, and those with energy and brains were all illuminated:

The court used this trick well! It was vicious! He did not say that people could not speak freely and expressed their opinions. But he did not make people talk about things that had not yet been decided by the court and were still in the decision-making process.

Of course, if the court finally did what you discussed, it would not be a "rumor-mongering". As long as it is not a rumor-mongering, there will be no big problem.

But if a troll scholar said something like "Someone's bad policies must not be passed, they must not be done, that is the tyrant's actions", and finally found that the court did not do this. Then this is the void seeking the enemy to throw dirty water on the court.

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

The imperial court did not intend to abolish the imperial examination, and the qualifications of Nanjing University’s admission examinations must first be given scholars. The old-style educational value accepted by the vested interest class will not be in vain. If you want to change your career to study science, you must at least have scholars in your abilities first. This threshold will block many people who are biased towards subjects. What else can scholars be dissatisfied with?

Seeing that the court was quite authentic in this regard, most of the benefits the scholars wanted were saved, so who would be willing to be the first to be a leader? Then he had to let those hundreds of guys who were used as guns be unlucky voluntarily.

The court's move was also considered a differentiation and disintegration of scholars. It only targeted the first thing that was unclear about the mind. It only changed a little at a time, which affected less interests. It cut off the flesh with a blunt knife and boiled most of the remaining oppositions into warm water.

But scholars are the most selfish group. After understanding this truth, who will burn themselves to dig wells for others?

Once this cognitive inertia is formed, the court can quietly release the wind every time. For example, it is obvious that only three points of reform are reformed, but five points of wind are released.

Then I waited for someone to spray. Once there were two of the five points that were harsh, then I would withdraw those two points. When the official plan was finally announced, there were no two points, only three points, and then I would capture those who were squirting the enemy in the void to revive their fame.

For example, Zhu Shuren plans to use math physics lecturers from China and Europe at the university to teach at the same time (but European lecturers need to be accompanied by translation and should also learn Chinese slowly. A buffer period can be given, but it will not be allowed to teach in foreign languages ​​all the time.)

After all, if you have a great mathematician like Newton came to Buniz, you won’t have to do it in vain. Of course, you have to give them the opportunity to teach in person. Although Newton’s teaching level seems to be very rubbish, his knowledge is also good.

And this kind of action will definitely be opposed because how could the Confucian scholar-official class give up its monopoly on the right to interpret academics? Even if they can accept new learning, they will definitely hope that their own people will teach. Just like how can the Imperial College of the Imperial College be a person without fame? Since students must at least have scholars, then teachers must have a bottom line of fame.

Of course, Zhu Shuren had to suppress this kind of resistance. So he used the above fishing techniques to kill a group of corrupt scholars who were the most vicious.

If this is done a few times, the most intense corrupt scholars who oppose new learning will be almost tortured.

What's more, Zhu Shuren is actually the founding king. He defeated the world with force. How could a corrupt scholar really obstruct him?

...

Therefore, after more than a month of repeated discussions, the matter of running Nanjing University was completely decided, including the subsequent school scale, site selection, initial subject setting, and faculty screening conditions.

At the beginning, some people suggested that the campus site should be selected in Nanjing City, especially in the southwest corner of the city, near the Qinhuai River outside the city wall, and adjacent to the Confucius Temple Imperial College.

But Zhu Shuren directly rejected this idea. He knew how dirty and dirty the Qinhuai River was. How many Imperial College Supervisors now really wanted to learn. Especially those Supervisors who spent money to donate were all very rich, and they visited the kilns around Confucius Temple every day.

In the future, the science and engineering students at Nanjing University will definitely be relatively wealthy in the liberal arts students from the Imperial College. If they throw them into this big dyeing vat, they will be soaked in comparison and make them mentally unbalanced. How can they devote themselves to learning?

Therefore, Zhu Shuren decisively demanded to set up a study outside the city on the grounds that "the times have changed, and now it is the age of science. In the face of cannons, all the people in the city walls are equal. In the future, the country will not be as dangerous as mountains and streams. The land in Nanjing is small, and the new school does not need to be set up in the city, and there is no need to care about the protection of the city walls."

After confirming that it would enclose land outside the city, someone suggested to set up a school in Jiangning Town, because there were already a large number of research institutes, museums, heavy industrial plants and mines in the southwest suburbs of Nanjing to Ma'anshan, which were very suitable for science and engineering supporting facilities.

But Zhu Shuren once again denied it. He explained the differences between "basic science and applied technology" with other important officials in the court. The Ming Academy of Sciences, Jiangning, Ma'anshan Nadui Factory and Mine, and Research Institute, after all, diligence can make up for the shortcomings, and the advancement of scientific and technological progress through practical work and trial and error lacks the ideological basis for guiding practice with theory.

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

So after the last calculation, Nanjing University was set up on the other side of Nanjing City. After crossing the Zijin Mountain area, it acquired land and built it in the gentle hilly area of ​​Xianhe Mountain in the far suburb of the east of the city.

This choice is actually very normal. Because according to historical inertia, the later city of Nanjing in parallel time and space has only three major areas of university towns, including Xianlin and Jiangning in the south, and Pukou in the north.

In this era, there were no bridges on the Yangtze River, so it was too inconvenient to cross the river, so Pukou must have been directly ruled out. Jiangning was also a base for application technology and experiments, so Nanyang University had to put it in the "Xianlin University Town" in later generations.

However, during the Ming Dynasty, the place name was definitely not called "Xianhe Mountain", but was called "Xianhe Mountain" and "Fanhe Forest", which were the abbreviations of later generations.

Anyway, the hills and dry fields outside the city were not valuable, so Zhu Shuren didn't even need to acquire land with a pen. He directly allocated thousands of acres of land in the Imperial Village of Xianhe Mountain as the land for the first phase of the establishment of Nanjing University.

The local environment is mixed with forests and quiet, and there are actually not many fields that have been renovated. The first phase of the university runs the school and the staff is not large. Zhu Shuren told him not to over-destroy the trees, and just choose the open space in the forest to build a house to run the school. When the hills and dry fields are full in the future, consider enclosing more land or deforesting the forest.

Zhu Shuren's decision was obviously influenced by the education of later generations. He also visited Harvard and MIT in his later generations. There were no walls in those universities, and there were no houses built in the woods. The environment was much quieter.

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

Considering that building a house and supporting facilities takes time, and the teaching team is running in and getting along with each other, it also takes time for those "foreign teachers" to add to Chinese first.

The court finally set the official start of Nanjing University three days after the Lantern Festival in the eighth year of well-off society, that is, the 18th day of the first lunar month. In the last few months of the seventh year of well-off society, the above-mentioned things are first used, which is considered the "university preparation period".

At the same time, the Ministry of Rites will organize an additional "Nanjing University Admissions Examination" after this year's autumn examination. The autumn examination of the provincial examination is September, and this entrance examination is set in the middle of the 10th and 10th of the lunar calendar, so that the Ministry of Rites can coordinate personnel.

The exam will be released at the end of October after the exam. Those who rank among the top a few hundred can enter the first session of Nanjing University. The reference qualification is that as long as you have scholars, supervisors, or higher, you can take the exam.

However, the content of the exam only tests mathematics, physics and chemistry, plus a practical essay, the topics are still biased towards engineering management and financial management, which is considered to be a bit of intimacy and fig leaf for those who are used to writing eight-legged essays.

However, the scores of the essay only account for 30% of the total score, which is equivalent to the college entrance examination essay. Therefore, if the mathematics, physics and chemistry are too poor, it is impossible to admit it if the essay is well written. In addition, the liberal arts content of the other Four Books and Five Classics is completely gone.

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

And considering that this year was a sudden attack, although most people had poor math grades and had never studied physics at all, the same was true for others.

In this way, some people who are smart will start to make up for mathematics after the imperial court announced the exam time, and strive to take advantage of the opportunity when people have no self to launch a surprise attack.

"Come on to make up for math quickly! It will be too late! It is said that the current requirements for the imperial examination qualification selection are strictly required for those who must have scholars to take the exam!

However, Fang Shangshu of the Ministry of Works suggested at a meeting yesterday that in the future, he should also be granted reference qualifications to ordinary employees who have already engaged in basic experiments in the Academy of Sciences. If you pass the exam, you can study for a few years and your professional title in the Academy of Sciences can also be improved in the future.

Those who read the Four Books and Five Classics really want to learn physics, I am afraid they are worse than those craftsmen in the Academy of Sciences. Why don’t we hurry up and take advantage of the previous three imperial courts that have not allowed craftsmen to refer to? After passing this village, there will be no store!"

Of course, not all the staff in the Ming Academy of Sciences are researchers. Many of them are just craftsmen, but because they are good at studying and doing experiments and tinkering with machinery, they are also left to do odd jobs in the Academy of Sciences.

Of course, these people did not even have the reputation of scholars, nor did they have the opportunity to read the Four Books and Five Classics, but if they compare mathematics and geometry, these people are probably much better than scholars.

So the scholars who were originally complaining and wanted to change careers, when they heard that Fang Yizhi was in the court discussion, the craftsmen fought for rights and interests as ordinary experimenters in the Ministry of Works system, and the regent temporarily rejected it, and bought the scholars three years of time difference. Of course, the scholars had to work hard to hold on.

The mathematics and physics textbooks in Nanjing were out of stock for a while, and everyone who wanted to take the exam started to do the questions, but no one said anything.
Chapter completed!
