Chapter 2175, this is the requirement of the times
"Sell newspapers! Sell newspapers!"
"Imperial examination reform, imperial examination reform, new examination subjects and content related to new learning."
"The imperial examination introduced a score system, with a score ratio of seven to three for old content and new content. From now on, the imperial examination will require reading new knowledge."
"Sell newspapers! Sell newspapers!"
"Big changes in the imperial examination!"
"The imperial court renovated the Gongyuan, added electric lights, boiled water rooms, and improved the latrines. From now on, there will be no more stinking noises!"
Accompanied by the shouts of the newsboys, a new day began in the capital, and as the imperial examination gradually approached, at this time, suddenly the imperial court carried out major reforms to the imperial examination. Suddenly, the entire Ming Dynasty was discussing this matter.
.
There are a large number of scholars staying at the Royal Hotel in Beijing. Every day, many scholars come here to recite poems, talk about the world, and give advice.
This is the center of every imperial examination. In the past, there were many high school students for every imperial examination. When the results were released, the place was very lively, and a large number of people came here to make money.
"Breaking news! Breaking news!"
"The imperial court has made major changes to the imperial examination!"
"Not only do we have to test the content related to the New Learning, but we also implement a point system. The content of our Four Books and Five Classics only accounts for 70%, and the remaining 30% are all related to the New Learning."
A scholar hurriedly came to the middle of a group of people with a newspaper and shouted loudly.
"What?"
"Want to take a test on newly learned content?"
"Is there still a point system?"
When the others heard this, they immediately exploded. This was not surprising. Those who read the books of sages and sages have always despised the new learning, thinking that the new learning was a heretical and unfashionable content.
There have been many conflicts between the new school and the old school because of this, and it has been a long time since they could not understand each other.
However, now, the proportion of newly learned content in the imperial examinations has reached 70%, which makes these students who have learned the old school dumbfounded.
"That's unreasonable!"
"How can we who read the books of saints and sages learn those heretical and third-rate things, and they are also included in the imperial examination!"
"Isn't this insulting to politeness?"
"Yes, this is really a ridiculous joke that makes people laugh out loud. How can we, disciples of saints, learn those miscellaneous subjects?"
"There is still this point system. How can it be truly fair? Let the world believe it?"
"Yes, there will be a large number of people with the same score in Xinxue's college entrance examination every year. If this imperial examination appears, how can it be fair and just?"
"This is simply nonsense. How can we, disciples of saints, join in the same trend?"
When the scholars present heard this, they immediately burst into laughter.
Everyone seemed indignant and very opposed. Some even expressed their opposition extremely strongly, saying that they wanted to stop taking the exam or something.
"Everyone, the newspaper is here, the newspaper is here, everyone, hurry up and read it carefully!"
At this time, another person came with a lot of newspapers, and everyone hurried over and started reading the newspapers quickly.
After carefully reading this reform, everyone started thinking about it again.
"The imperial court still takes good care of us scholars. Considering that the exams are cold in winter, they specially added a boiling water room and installed electric lights in all rooms. In addition, the toilets were renovated, so there will no longer be stinky voices."
"This is indeed a grace to us scholars."
"But the impact of the imperial examination reform on us is really great. Look at the content of this new examination. Mathematics, geography, physics, chemistry, etc. are all tested. There will be too much to learn in the future.
"
"Besides, there are only two months left before the exam. Even if we start studying hard from scratch now, I'm afraid it's too late."
"Yes, even if it needs to be changed, it will have to be changed at the next imperial examination. In this case, we still have time to study."
"It can't be said that this score system is not good. In fact, it may be relatively fair. In the past, the personal preferences of the examiners had a great influence on the evaluation of imperial examination papers. Nowadays, the score system is implemented, especially for newly learned content.
, there are standard answers, so the influence of the examiner’s personal preferences will be greatly reduced.”
"That's not bad!"
"The newly learned examination content all has standard answers, one is one, right is right, and there is no influence of personal preferences. In the past imperial examinations, when we wrote articles, we had to answer questions according to the examiner's preferences.
"
"Sometimes, even if your answers are good, but they don't meet the examiner's preferences, you will still fail."
"From this point of view, the new learning is indeed better. If the point system is introduced, it can't be said to be a bad thing at all."
"The emperor said it was because the Ming Dynasty is changing with each passing day and undergoing earth-shaking changes. This has put forward more and higher requirements for the officials of the imperial court. The most important thing is to adapt to this new era of rapid development and change."
"The Emperor's scholars are all disciples of the Emperor. They are the future pillars of the country and the cornerstone of the imperial court. Reading the books of sages is very important, but it is also necessary to continue to learn with the development of the times, to have a broader knowledge and to know more things.
, know more, only in this way can we adapt to this new era, and in the future we can better protect the emperor's side and benefit the people of the world."
"The introduction of new learning is not to deny the learning of saints, but to set higher requirements for the disciples of saints. This is the requirement of the times and the inevitability of adapting to the development of the times."
Everyone read all the contents in the newspaper. When they saw the summary and comments at the end, many readers were speechless.
To be honest, is this newly learned content really useless? Is it really just heresy?
No, we live in this era, and we can best feel the huge changes brought about by the new learning in this era. The cars and trains we take when we go out, the lights and phones installed at home, no matter in every aspect, the basic necessities of life, food, clothing, housing and transportation have all been affected by the new learning.
huge impact.
Everything is undergoing tremendous changes. People's lives are becoming more and more affluent, and travel is becoming more and more convenient and fast. All aspects are inseparable from the development of Xinxue.
From the emperor and the princes in the court to the common people at dawn, everyone is supporting the development of the new learning, and they all affirm the great role and benefits brought by the new learning.
Although I despise the new learning, I have to admit that the reason why the Ming Dynasty was able to be strong and prosperous today was inseparable from the new learning.
In this new era of rapid change, there are all kinds of new things to learn in an endless stream. The electric light invented yesterday has just begun to dispel the darkness. Today, telephones have entered thousands of households, and you can talk to your family even though they are far apart.
, telling the story of four years.
In the future, there will inevitably be more changes and more new things will appear. If we do not adapt to the development of this new era, it may be difficult to say that we can govern the country well.
"Everyone, hurry up and learn the new content. If you sharpen your skills before the battle, it will be a waste if you are not happy."
"Yes, yes, there are still two months to go. This sudden change is not necessarily a bad thing. Many people who were previously missed will most likely be able to be named on the gold list this time."
"Since it is the requirement of the Emperor and the times, we, the scholars, should learn it and study it well, so that we can be more loyal to the Emperor and govern the people of Ming Dynasty on his behalf."
"That's right, Ming Dynasty is indeed developing very fast now. If you don't learn some things, you really don't know anything."
"As mentioned above, this time the imperial examination will not test any new content that is too difficult, but will only test some basic content, so if you study hard now, it will still be very useful."
"This newly learned content accounts for 30% of the score."
"Let's go, let's go, does anyone want to buy some new books so that we can study hard?"
"Brother Li, let's go, let's go together."
"I'll go too, I'll go too."
Many scholars have also hurriedly started to buy some newly learned books, preparing to study hard in the next two months and sharpen their skills before the battle.
This sudden change in the imperial examination is not suitable for many people, but for those who have repeatedly failed in the past, they see the hope and opportunity of high school this time.
If you can study the new content well and seize the opportunity, you may be able to pass high school this time, because this time, everyone has not learned anything new and is at the same starting point.
There are even some people who have learned some new content on their own in normal times, and each of these people can't help but feel secretly happy.
I usually read some newly learned books when I have nothing to do. I didn't expect that such a good thing would happen. I can actually use them in the imperial examination. It's such a good feeling.
I have an inherent advantage over others. As long as the questions this time are not too difficult, I might be able to pass high school by then.
Of course, there are still many die-hard new students who are extremely unconvinced and feel that this is a mess. The imperial examination is related to the foundation of the imperial court and a major matter of national talent selection. This should be changed at any time, and it is still two months before the imperial examination.
Change is not child's play.
These students were extremely dissatisfied and did not want to learn the new content at all. They clamored to join forces and threatened to stop taking the exams. They even prepared to join forces and go to Donghua Gate to submit a letter to the emperor and demand that the emperor
Cancel this reform.
For these traditional scholars, any changes are unacceptable to them. The books of sages are the most powerful doctrines, and there is no need to learn other things and contents at all.
Changing the content of the imperial examinations at will is an act of chaos, which will lead to turmoil in the country and the country and shake the foundation of the country.
