When Xia Wanchun heard this, he said with a little embarrassment: "I'm ashamed of you. Miss is so talented. Today's conversation is better than studying for ten years. What a pity. We just talked about the branch of chemistry. Why is it dark today?"
After hearing this, Zhu Ailao said happily: "This is simple. I will come to you tomorrow and discuss it further, okay?"
"Really?" When Xia Wanchun heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and said, "Very good, very good!"
At this point, he paused, and then added: "My teacher is the new person in charge of agricultural affairs in the imperial court. He happens to have a lot of books on geophysics, some of which are not available on the market. If there is anything you want to read, I will read it.
I can make a copy for you!"
When Zhu Yuyao heard this, she was slightly startled. Is this Chen Zilong's student? No wonder, his knowledge in physical studies is so high!
Of course she knew that the person who was in charge of farming before was sent to Qiongzhou by his father to study hybrid rice. The new person in charge of farming in the capital was Chen Zilong, a former student of Xu Guangqi.
The books that Xia Wanchun mentioned in terms of geophysics that are not yet on the market are those that Chen Zilong is studying. Because some of the names and the like, the names of the Immortal Realm and the Ming Dynasty are different, and the explanations are also different. Someone needs to verify it before adding it.
Annotations can be printed and published.
As long as it is a book on the study of objects, she actually has it. Because all the materials on the study of objects that come from the fairy world will be kept in the palace.
Therefore, when she came to her senses, she also smiled and said: "What kind of books on geophysics do you want to read? I can also find them for you!"
"Really?" After hearing her words, not only Xia Wanchun, but also Xia Huiji and Xia Shuji confirmed almost in unison with surprise.
Later, Xia Wanchun seemed to be afraid that Zhu Yurao would regret it, so he quickly said: "I want to study more chemical classification, and I am most curious about the transformation of substances!"
As he spoke, he announced the titles of several books, with a very expectant look on his face.
For people in the Ming Dynasty, the branch of chemistry was the most magical and mysterious. Of course, it was also the most difficult to understand.
When Zhu Ainao heard this, she was a little surprised and said: "Okay, I will bring it to you tomorrow. See you at the Zhuangyuan Building tomorrow morning!"
She also likes this mysterious chemistry, and is naturally very happy to have like-minded people to discuss it.
After saying that, I was a little worried that I wouldn't be able to get back in time, so I said no more, said goodbye to the three people of the Xia family, turned around and quickly got on the horse's back, clamped my legs together, and the horse jumped out and quickly went away.
Looking at the heroic back, Xia Huiji shouted loudly: "Sister, you are so awesome!"
When Zhu Yulao heard this, she did not look back. She just raised her hand and waved in response.
Xia Wanchun stared at Zhu Yuluo's back until he disappeared out of sight before he came back to his senses.
After coming back to his senses, he suddenly found that his eldest sister Xia Shuji was staring at him. Not only was she staring at him, but her expression was a little weird.
Xia Wanchun was a little strange. He looked down at himself and found nothing, so he asked doubtfully: "Sister, what are you looking at? I don't have flowers on my face!"
"No!" Xia Shuji heard this and said with a smile, "You have flowers on your face!"
"Ah..." When Xia Wanchun heard this, he was very surprised and touched it immediately.
Xia Huiji, who was standing next to her, saw her and giggled: "Sister, I lied to you!"
"Let's go back quickly, it's getting late!" Xia Shuji said with a smile before Xia Wanchun could scold her, and then walked towards the carriage.
Early the next morning, Zhu Yuluo arrived as promised, bringing the chemistry book that Xia Wanchun had requested to read, and then chatted about chemistry issues with the three sisters of the Xia family.
While they were discussing this, the imperial court issued a new notice clarifying matters related to the special scientific examination of geophysics.
Three days later, there will be a special scientific examination for the three subjects of Physics and Fractions, Physics and Chemistry. The scientific examination lasts for one morning. In each subject, the top 150 in the male subject and the top 100 in the female subject will be admitted in this scientific examination.
.
Of course, it goes without saying that those who rank first, second or third will naturally be the number one, second or top pick, but there will be single subjects and comprehensive scores.
All those admitted can re-enter the Ming Royal Academy of Sciences for further study, and have the opportunity to receive guidance from the emperor, and will be engaged in specialized talents in various subjects in the future. As long as they pass the subsequent assessment and obtain one or several important applications, they will be able to obtain new qualifications.
title.
The new titles are: Grandmaster, Senior Master, Master, Senior Expert, and Expert.
The new five-level titles have the same benefits as the Duke, Marquis and Bozinan.
The slightly different thing is that in terms of money, in addition to salary, you can also get patent subsidies. That is to say, if you make a major breakthrough in the field of physics, the court will grant a patent and get a patent bonus. If you are engaged in teaching in the future, you can be brought out.
Based on the number of talents, there will also be corresponding subsidies.
In principle, those who obtain titles of knighthood will be engaged in research and development in various subjects in the future and will no longer be engaged in administrative positions.
Guluo
Finally, it was announced that Song Yingxing's technology uncle was converted into a master title, and based on his contribution, his annual allowance was one hundred thousand taels of silver.
As soon as this announcement came out, it immediately aroused discussion among the students who came to the capital to rush for the exam.
In fact, those of them who participated in the special scientific examination of Gewu had already anticipated that there would be a difference between participating in this scientific examination and ordinary imperial examinations.
Now the announcement has come out, confirming that special scientific examinations on geophysics cannot lead to official positions like the imperial examinations.
In this situation, some people are disappointed, while others don't care.
It cannot be denied that the official position has been deeply ingrained in the eyes of the world since ancient times. In their eyes, if it is not this, it is not an official.
But at the same time, the imperial court also offered the attractiveness of special imperial examinations on geophysics.
It is extremely difficult for people who come from ordinary imperial examinations to obtain the title of the Ming Dynasty; however, if they take the special scientific examination of geophysics, they can obtain the corresponding title.
Of course, this title is difficult to obtain. But after all, there are such regulations, which are somewhat similar to the martial arts system.
The ultimate goal of a martial artist is also a knighthood. However, it is also not easy to obtain a knighthood.
In addition, people who have a background in special scientific examinations of geophysics have an additional benefit, that is, they are true disciples of the emperor and can receive personal guidance from the current emperor. And if they have made a significant contribution, at least in terms of money, it will be
It's a legitimately high income.
Not to mention anything else, it’s just that the former tech uncle now has an annual allowance of one hundred thousand taels of silver. One hundred thousand taels is definitely the envy of countless people!
Of course, there are some people who are not moved by it and still like those administrative positions.
After seeing the notice from the court confirming that they could not become officials, they were all disappointed.
This group of people can go to the Yamen to cancel their registration within two days according to the instructions in the notice. If they register and do not participate in the scientific examination, the court will punish them.
Most of the students who canceled their registration were young men.
Among the three sisters of the Xia family, there was also some discussion about the contents of the notice.
After all, it was about their personal future. According to Xia Huiji and Xia Shuji's ideas, the two sisters went to take the special scientific examination on geophysics, while the only male, Xia Wanchun, canceled his registration and went back to take the normal imperial examination.
However, after Xia Wanchun considered this proposal again and again, he still shook his head and denied it.
When Xia Shuji saw it, she confirmed with a little curiosity: "You have to know that if you don't take part in the scientific examination, my father will not agree. I insist on taking part in this special scientific examination on physics, but for Zhu?"
After hearing this, Xia Wanchun's face turned red, and he quickly defended: "Sister, what's the point of being an ordinary official? I'm really interested in the study of studies. Don't you think study of studies is really endless fun?"
"I think so. Studying Objects is more fun!" Xia Huiji nodded and agreed after hearing this.
When Xia Shuji saw it, she glared at her third sister and told her to shut up. Then she looked at Xia Wanchun and said, "As a sister, I know what you are thinking!"
"What do you know?" Xia Wanchun said with twinkling eyes after hearing this, "I just think the study of physics is very interesting!"
When Xia Shuji saw it, she immediately laughed. She was here, so she wouldn't be able to tell what her brother's current state is. She smiled and said, "It's really beautiful to do what you like and be accompanied by a beautiful woman!"
After a pause, she saw her brother blushing again, and she said sternly: "But you have to know that she hasn't told you her real name until now. Her family background must be extraordinary, and you may not win the beauty!"
"
Hearing this, Xia Huiji on the side encouraged you: "Second brother, I support you. If you come back with the top prize, I don't believe she won't become my sister-in-law!"
Encouraged by the girl and thinking about Zhu Yuluo's voice and smile, Xia Wanchun said seriously to Xia Shuji: "I don't think she dislikes me. We have a common interest in the study of objects. If I can marry her, I will live a happy life."
It’s worth it.”
Hearing this, Xia Shuji couldn't help but think of her own experience, she felt sad for a moment, and finally nodded and said: "Okay, since you have such a determination, then I won't stop you, and I support you as a father.
When you get good grades in the exam, I will find your mentor to propose marriage!"
They could still tell whether she was a woman or an unmarried girl. After spending a few days with Zhu Yura, they were sure that Zhu Yura was unmarried, otherwise she wouldn't be running around alone.
When Xia Wanchun heard that his eldest sister also supported him, he nodded vigorously and said, "I will definitely take the test carefully!"
As for whether he can get the No. 1 pick, to be honest, he has no clue about his whereabouts, so he dare not boast about this Haikou. But in his heart, he still aims for the No. 1 pick.
Three days later, it was the day of the special scientific examination on the study of physics. According to the notice from the court, everyone rushed to the Meridian Gate early in the morning.
Around the Meridian Gate, soldiers from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division had already implemented martial law, and only candidates taking the scientific examination could enter.
