The name of the country is stolen Chapter 418: Graduating from Nantah University is equal to being a candidate, a researcher is equal to a Jinshi, and an academician is equal to Hanlin
Chapter 418: Graduating from Nantah University is equal to being a candidate, a researcher is equal to a Jinshi, and an academician is equal to Hanlin
Although NTU graduates’ future candidates for official positions are in principle the same as those for candidate candidates.
But a discerning person with official knowledge can still see the subtle differences.
After all, depending on the current intentions of the imperial court, in the future, graduates of Nanjing University, mainly majoring in science and engineering, will independently draw up a line for them to apply for positions.
For example, a financial officer who specializes in the Ministry of Accounts needs relatively strong mathematical skills, or a technocrat in the Ministry of Industry also has hard requirements for practical ability.
Therefore, if the number of graduates from Nanjing University is small in the next few years, the pressure to queue up for the actual vacancies will not be so intense, and it may be possible to become an official after queuing symbolically for a while.
This is equivalent to the treatment that is equivalent to being promoted to a scholar in name, but in fact the benefits obtained are similar to those of being promoted to a Jinshi.
Unless the number of science and engineering graduates skyrockets in the future and the value of academic qualifications depreciates, the number of years it takes to wait for a real job will become longer and longer.
Then everyone has to take the subsequent examination equivalent to the Jinshi subject. Of course, at Nanjing University, the subsequent examination is no longer called the Jinshi subject, but is called the postgraduate entrance examination. This is not far-fetched, but in this era, after graduating from Nanjing University, continue to
If you are admitted to further study, you can indeed directly become a "researcher" of the Ming Academy of Sciences.
In the future, "researchers of the Academy of Sciences" will be equivalent to candidates who are in vacancy for Jinshi. Before being awarded the administrative position, they can also enjoy the seventh-grade salary and engage in research work in the Academy of Sciences. Only if they excel in the Academy of Sciences will they become "Academicians"
.
Therefore, graduating from Nanjing University is equivalent to graduating from the Imperial College or being promoted, a fellow is equivalent to a candidate for Jinshi, and an academician is equivalent to the Imperial Academy.
Of course, these are all things for later. Anyway, the sad situation of "depreciation of academic qualifications" will definitely not happen to the newly established "Old Third Class" of Nanjing University. They are sure that everyone has a bright future.
Devaluation will take at least ten to eight years or even more.
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 imperial policies.
There is no doubt that these people have been punished by the court in accordance with the law. Those who should be expelled from their official titles should be revoked, and those who should be changed to work in factories to make screws should be changed. Let others learn a lesson and do not criticize the court's unfinished policies in the future.
…
The imperial court's final decision was soon officially announced, and scholars in Nanjing City and several surrounding prefectures saw the results immediately.
According to the final statistics, there were a total of two Jinshi who had not yet been conferred an official position and had just passed the Jinke examination, as well as fourteen candidates, two hundred and thirty-three scholars, and ninety-six Imperial College students involved in this wanton attack on the government.
The crime of spreading rumors and rumors comes from.
Judging from the composition and origin of the personnel, there are not too many locals in Yingtianfu, only a few dozen. On the contrary, there are more people from Jiangxi and Zhejiang, and the number of people involved in the eucalyptus exceeds a hundred——
Perhaps this was also a war at the turn of the Ming and Qing Dynasties that year, which did not affect Jiangxi and Zhejiang provinces. However, the area around South Zhili was purged by Duduo's bandit army, and the famous educated families were hit harder.
Therefore, Jiangxi and Zhejiang are the majority of the "conservative forces" that are currently clinging to their old ways and refusing to let go. Naturally, there will be more of them jumping out in the end. There is no problem of deliberately suppressing a certain place.
When the scholars all over the world saw this situation at first, they couldn't help but feel a little uproar when they saw that the imperial court had done another big thing and wiped out the honors of hundreds of people just by being "convicted for their words."
Some impulsive scholars almost wanted to cause trouble again, and some people said privately that what happened this time might be an arbitrary decision made by the Emperor who was eager for success after taking office. Maybe the Regent and the Ministry of History made it. It is not supported initially.
However, there were not many people who dared to openly publicize the harsh punishment just now. And just a few days later, as the court released other rumors, these objections were completely suppressed.
The imperial court didn't say anything else. It just asked the officials around Nanjing and even in Jiangxi and northern Zhejiang to publicize two points: this incident can definitely not be regarded as "guilty for speech", but only for "spreading rumors and slander". , the properties are completely different.
If you have your own political opinions and suggestions, the court will not offend others with your words, but if you fabricate laws that the court has not implemented and insist on "seeking enemies in vain" or "shooting targets in vain", then you will be severely punished.
The interpretation of the details of this policy was quickly grasped by those who had the energy and brains to understand clearly:
The court used this trick brilliantly! It used it viciously! He did not prevent people from speaking freely and expressing their opinions. But he only prevented people from talking about things that the court had not yet decided and were still in the process of decision-making.
Of course, if the court finally did what you discussed, it would not be "rumor-mongering." As long as it is not rumor-mongering, it won't be a big problem.
But if there are some trolls who say something like "such and such evil policies must not be allowed to pass and must not be carried out, they are the work of tyrants", and finally find that the court did not do this, then this is a vain attempt to attract enemies and bring trouble to the court. Dirty water.
For example, this time, those who spread rumors said at the beginning that "the imperial court plans to abolish the imperial examination in the future" and also said that "the imperial court will allow people who have not passed the old-style imperial examination to directly enter Nanjing University", but in the end both of these points were proven Fake.
The imperial court has no intention of abolishing the imperial examination, and to qualify for the NTU entrance exam, one must first have the reputation of being a scholar. The value of the old-style education currently accepted by the vested interests will not be in vain. If you want to change your career to science, you must at least have the ability to pass the exam first. Scholars, this threshold has blocked many people who are partial to science. What else can people be dissatisfied with in the examination of scholars?
Seeing that the imperial court was quite honest in this regard, and most of the benefits that the scholar class wanted to gain were still preserved, who would still want to be the leader? Then we had to let the hundreds of guys who were used as spearmen voluntarily suffer the consequences.
The imperial court's approach can be regarded as dividing and disintegrating the scholars. It only targets those who are unclear and jump out first, and only changes a little bit at a time to avoid touching some interests. It cuts the flesh with a dull knife and boils frogs in warm water for most of the remaining opponents.
It just so happens that scholars are the most selfish group. After understanding this truth, who would still burn themselves to dig wells for others?
Once this kind of cognitive inertia is formed, the court will quietly let out rumors every time. For example, it clearly only needs to reform three points, but it will let out rumors about five points.
Then wait for others to spray. Once two of the five points are sprayed hard, then withdraw those two points. When the official plan is finally announced, there will be no those two points, only three points, and then backhand the void Anyone who accuses the enemy of these two points will be dismissed.
For example, Zhu Shuren plans to use Chinese and European mathematical physics lecturers to teach at the university (but European lecturers need to be accompanied by translators and must learn Chinese slowly. A buffer period can be given, but they will not be allowed to teach in foreign languages all the time.)
After all, there are great mathematicians like Newton and Bünitz, so they don’t need to use it in vain. Of course, they must be given the opportunity to take classes in person. Although Newton’s teaching level seems to be rubbish, it is good to have experience.
And this kind of move will definitely be opposed by people, because how can the Confucian scholar-official class give up its monopoly on academic interpretation power? Even if they can accept the new learning, they will definitely want their own people to teach, just like how can there be no siye in the Imperial College?
What about people with academic merit? Since students must have at least the reputation of being a scholar, teachers must also have the bottom line of academic merit.
Of course, Zhu Shuren had to suppress this kind of resistance. So he used the above-mentioned fishing method to kill a group of rotten scholars who complained the most fiercely.
In just a few times, the most vehement rotten scholars who opposed the new learning would have been beaten to death.
What's more, Zhu Shuren was actually the founding king of the country. He conquered the world with force. How could corrupt scholars really stop him?
…
As a result, after more than a month of repeated discussions, the matter of running a school at Nanjing University has been completely decided, including the subsequent scale of running the school, location selection, initial subject setting, and teaching staff selection conditions.
At the beginning, some people suggested that the school should be located within the city of Nanjing, especially in the southwest corner of the city, next to the Qinhuai River outside the city wall and adjacent to the Confucius Temple and Imperial College.
But Zhu Shuren directly rejected this idea. He knew how dirty the area around the Qinhuai River was, and how many of the Imperial College students sincerely wanted to learn from it. Especially those who donated money, all of them were very rich.
Around the Confucius Temple, you can visit kilns.
The future science and engineering students of NTU will definitely come from less wealthy families than the liberal arts students of the Imperial College. Throwing them into this big vat of comparison will make them mentally unbalanced. How can they concentrate on studying?
Therefore, Zhu Shuren said, "Times have changed. Now is the scientific era. In front of cannons, all people in the city wall are equal. In the future, the country will not be strengthened by the danger of mountains and rivers. The land in Nanjing City is small, and the new school does not need to be located in the city. There is no need to care about the protection of the city wall."
"For the reason, he decisively requested to set up a school outside the city.
After it was decided to enclose land outside the city, some people took advantage of the situation and suggested setting up a school in Jiangning Town, because there are already a large number of research institutes, museums, heavy industry factories and mines in the southwestern suburbs of Nanjing all the way to Ma'anshan, which are very suitable as supporting facilities for science and engineering.
But Zhu Shuren denied it again. He explained the difference between "basic science and applied technology" to other important officials in the DPRK. In the final analysis, the Ming Academy of Sciences and the factories, mines, and research institutes in Jiangning and Ma'anshan still make up for their shortcomings through hard work and promote scientific and technological progress through hard work and trial and error.
There is a lack of ideological basis for guiding practice with theory.
Therefore, what is needed to engage in basic theoretical research is a relatively clean environment that is not disturbed by the noise of the industry. The Academy of Sciences and major research institutes have already established their own positioning, and there is no need for Nanjing University to join in the fun.
So after a final calculation, Nanjing University was moved to the outskirts on the other side of Nanjing City. After crossing the Zijin Mountain District, it acquired additional land for construction in the gentle hilly area of Xianhe Mountain in the eastern suburbs of the city.
This choice is actually quite normal. Because according to the inertia of history, the Nanjing city of later generations in parallel time and space only had three large university towns in total, Xianlin and Jiangning in the south of the Yangtze River, and Pukou in the north of the Yangtze River.
At this time, there was no bridge on the Yangtze River, and it was too inconvenient to cross the river, so Pukou was definitely excluded. Jiangning was also used as a base for applied technology and experimental trial and error, so Nanda had no choice but to be placed in the "Xianlin University Town" in later generations.
"Yes.
However, during the Ming Dynasty, the place name of this place was definitely not called "Xianlin", but was called "Xianhe Mountain" and "Fanghelin" respectively, which were combined and abbreviated in later generations.
Anyway, the hilly dry fields outside the city were not valuable. With a stroke of his pen, Zhu Shuren did not even need to acquire land. He directly allocated thousands of acres of land at the Imperial Mansion in Xianhe Mountain by the Ministry of Internal Affairs as the land for the first phase of the construction of Nanjing University.
The local environment was densely forested and very quiet, and there were not many cultivated fields. In the first phase of the university's opening, the staff was not large, so Zhu Shuren ordered not to destroy the trees excessively, but to just choose an open space in the woods to build a house and run the school.
When the hilly dry fields are covered in the future, we will consider enclosing more land or clearing forests.
Zhu Shuren's decision was obviously influenced by the education of later generations. He also visited Harvard and MIT in later generations. Those universities did not even have walls, but built houses one by one in the woods, and the environment was quite quiet.
The real value of a university lies in its masters, not its buildings.
Considering that it takes time to build a house and supporting facilities, and it also takes time for the teaching team to get used to each other, and for colleagues to get to know each other well, those "foreign teachers" also have to master Chinese first.
The imperial court finally set the official opening time of Nanjing University to three days after the Lantern Festival in the eighth year of Xiaokang, which is the eighteenth day of the first lunar month. The last few months of the seventh year of Xiaokang were first used to do the above-mentioned things, which was regarded as "
"University Preparatory Period".
At the same time, the Ministry of Rites is about to organize an additional "Nanjing University Entrance Examination" after the autumn of this year. The autumn of the provincial examination is in September, and this entrance exam will be held on the 10th and a half days of the lunar calendar. The time will be staggered so that the Ministry of Rites can coordinate
manpower.
After the exam is completed, the results will be released at the end of October. Those who rank in the top few hundred can enter the first class of NTU. The reference qualifications are that anyone who has the title of scholar, supervisor of students, or higher can take the exam.
However, the content of the exam only covers mathematics, physics and chemistry, plus a practical thesis, and the topic selection is still biased towards engineering management and financial management. It can be regarded as a little intimacy and a fig leaf for people who are used to writing eight-legged essays.
However, the score of the application essay only accounts for 30% of the total score, which is equivalent to the college entrance examination essay. Therefore, if mathematics, physics and chemistry are too poor, it is impossible to be admitted only if the application essay is well written. In addition, the other liberal arts subjects of the Four Books and Five Classics
The content 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 version and will be gradually adjusted in the next few years.
And considering that this year was a surprise attack, although most people did not do well in math and had never studied physics at all, others were the same.
As a result, some smart people began crazily cramming in math after the court announced the exam time, trying to take advantage of the opportunity to make a surprise attack.
"Hurry up and get ready to cram in math! If you are late, it will be too late! It is said that the imperial court's current examination qualification selection conditions strictly require that only those who have the reputation of being a scholar can take the exam!
However, Fang Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry suggested at the meeting yesterday that in the future, "ordinary employees who are already engaged in basic experimental work in the Academy of Sciences should also be granted reference qualifications." If they pass the exam, they can study for several years and obtain professional titles in the Academy of Sciences in the future.
It can also be improved.
Those of us who have read the Four Books and Five Classics, if we really want to study mathematics and physics, we are probably not as good as those handyman craftsmen in the Academy of Sciences. Why don’t we take the exam quickly while the previous three imperial courts did not allow unsung craftsmen to take the exam! After passing this village, we will take the exam.
This store no longer exists!”
Of course, not all the staff in the Ming Academy of Sciences are researchers. There are also many who are just craftsmen, but because they are good at studying, doing experiments and tinkering with machinery, they are also left to do odd jobs in the Academy of Sciences.
Of course, these people don't even have the reputation of being scholars, and they don't have the opportunity to read through the Four Books and Five Classics, but if it comes to mathematics and geometry, these people are probably much better than scholars.
As a result, the scholars who were still complaining and wanted to change careers heard that Fang Yizhi was fighting for the rights and interests of ordinary laboratory workers and craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry system at the court meeting, but the regent temporarily refused and won three rights for the scholars.
There is a time difference of two years, so of course the scholars must work hard to seize the opportunity.
Mathematics and physics textbooks in Nanjing were temporarily sold out. People who wanted to take the exam began to study the questions, and no one made irresponsible remarks.
