Chapter 350: Alternative Test (Part 2)
Lu Duosun looked at the students, some lowered their heads in shame, but some were still unwilling to accept it because they had not received education in this area.
"I know some of you may not be convinced, but you can go to any private school in Bianliang to ask. Mathematics has now become a compulsory course in the Song Dynasty.
The Imperial College in Songzhou is under construction, and there will be many subjects added in the future. In other words, your future exams will not only take the classics, history, and collections, but also the study of studying things.
These knowledge are taught by Your Majesty himself, and many of them have been proven. Of course, if you are not good at scriptures and are proficient in studying matters, the court will also arrange official positions for you!"
After Ludoson said that, the scholars were all surprised. Although they had heard of this before, they still thought that those were just traitors.
But what Lu Duosun said in his own words today was that he was a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and a First-rank minister of the court. It was impossible to talk nonsense in front of so many people.
"There is another game of study tomorrow. The test is very complicated and it is more difficult than mathematics. It doesn't matter if you don't know. If you are interested, you can learn it.
In the future, Your Majesty will designate several academies in the world, including them in the south and the north. As the highest institution of the Song Dynasty, students who graduated from several institutions will be given priority to admission to the court!"
After Lu Duosun said that, he turned over and left the camp with Guo Zhiyu. Zhao Kuangyin coughed twice: "I heard it all. You still have a chance, so you will go and rest. The last exam tomorrow is here!"
After saying that, the celebrities dispersed the crowd, Guo Hao was always paying attention to this place in the palace. He was holding a monocular lens in his hand and let go when he saw the crowd dispersed.
"Teacher Wang, would you be a little too hasty when you say I did this? The younger generation of the Song Dynasty has not yet grown up, and these people really have no chance to get in touch with those knowledge."
"When you come back to Your Majesty, I think it's just right. If Your Majesty wants to promote the study of physics and revive the hundreds of schools of thought, you must show your importance, and scientific research is the best way.
Now the old minister has created six major academies, namely Shigu, Bailu Cave, Songyang, Yuelu, Suiyang, and Maoshan. Among them, Suiyang Academy has been designated as the Imperial College, and other academies can also be granted a title.
Your Majesty can son these six major academies as the core and spread to the surrounding area. In the early stage, agriculture and military were the main research topics, which were used to enhance the strength of our Song Dynasty.
As for the other knowledge that Your Majesty mentioned, those time-consuming and labor-intensive things, the old minister thinks it is okay to slowly draw it."
Wang Pu's words make sense. Guo Hao wants to study the atomic bomb now, which is simply impossible.
However, improving agricultural tools, manufacturing weapons, and increasing the combat power of the Song Dynasty is the top priority for the Academy of Geju and those academies. The telescope in Guo Hao's hand is the research results of the Academy of Geju, which can be used in war in the future.
In addition, it is a life-changing and many small inventions that are convenient for the people. The Gongshu is best at this, and the glass provided by Chen Lin made kerosene lamps, which are the ones used in the camp, which are similar to those of later generations.
Since Guo Hao returned from Songzhou last time, he has been thinking about how to start education. Now, he has successfully taken the first step through this imperial examination.
As long as scholars realize that what they have learned will take exams in the future, many people will definitely learn it, so that those talented students will have the opportunity to stand out.
There are many people in history who are in a mess in liberal arts, but science is very good, and vice versa. There are many people like this.
Today, the Song Dynasty has a population of 30 million, which is incomparable to later generations, but Guo Hao believes that the population of the Song Dynasty will be increased in a few years.
However, before this, he also made a series of regulations: women must be over 16 years old before they can get married, and men are also sixteen years old, otherwise they will violate the law.
Moreover, close relatives cannot get married, and the stable woman who delivers her baby must undergo professional training. At the same time, the concept of disinfection was proposed, which was first applied to the military.
Although the population of the Song Dynasty was small, he did not want to see fetal death prematurely. In ancient times, the rate of fetal death was very high, which was related to the age of the mother.
Moreover, having children is a difficult problem for women. In addition to the reasons for physical development, there are also medical standards and hygiene conditions.
So Guo Hao had issued an order long ago and implemented it nationwide, but there are still people among the people who do not abide by it, and some things are not as simple as they thought.
The exam is over, and the candidates have to stay and wait for the results. Officials from the Ministry of Rites worked overtime to correct the test papers, which took seven days.
On the day of the announcement, many people were surprised to find that things didn’t seem to be as bad as expected. Although there were not many places in the Jinshi, more than 100 people were admitted to the same Jinshi!
First place Jiang She, second place Li Su, third place Liu Cha...
When Li Su saw that it was evening, he was a little disbelief. Lu Ren quickly congratulated him. He and Long Tao were both Jinshi, but Li Su continued to look down.
"Hey, why don't you have a brother Guan's name? Did he fail the exam?"
"Hey, I'll just say that, look at his big and thick-bodied appearance, he doesn't look like a scholar, and he hasn't passed the exam before, so it's normal for the first time to fail."
Long Tao said proudly, but Li Su felt something was wrong. Although they had not been in contact for a long time, Guo Hao left during the day the next day, saying that he was going home to live.
But Guo Hao's words that night left a deep impression on him.
"No, Brother Guan is so eloquent and has a good literary talent. Even if he is not a Jinshi, he should be the same Jinshi."
"Brother Li, you're thinking too much. That kid doesn't know where to listen to a story, and then remember, where can he see his literary talent?
Besides, I have long thought he was sneaky. Maybe he was not a good person and had been arrested by General Zhao!"
Li Su shook his head, always feeling something was wrong. After returning to the camp, all the candidates who failed the exam went home one after another, and the rest were arranged elsewhere.
Three days later, Guo Hao summoned Jinshi under the Zilou, especially the top scholar Jiang She. I heard that he had a good answer to mathematics.
When Guo Hao appeared in front of everyone, Li Su was stunned. The man who was squatting in the camp for dinner and talking to them was the current emperor!
"We have seen my emperor, long live my emperor!"
"Please be calm. Thank you for your hard work these days. Being able to pass such a complicated exam and stand out from it is enough to show your character and ability. Which one is Jiang She? Look up and let me see."
Jiang She raised her head when she heard this, Guo Hao nodded with a smile and said, "Your math is good. It seems that you are very talented, especially the Nine-Nine-Cross Proverb. You are the only one who wrote it right. Can you recite it to me?"
After Guo Hao finished speaking, Jiang She was stunned for a moment, then started to carry it with a stuttering sound. After taking it, it was stuck when it was Sanqi.
"Don't be nervous, take your time."
Guo Hao thought he was too nervous, but Jiang She thought for a long time but couldn't remember it. Guo Hao frowned and asked, "I just finished writing it before, why have I forgotten it now? If you give you a piece of paper, you can write it out."
After saying that, he asked the eunuch to bring paper and pen, but Jiang She held the pen and sweated in cold sweat. After thinking for a long time, she couldn't write down any of them.
"What's going on? He doesn't know how to do it? He doesn't know how to multiply formulas, so what about other substitutes?"
As he said that, Guo Hao asked Jiang She several more questions, but he couldn't calculate any of them. Guo Hao took his paper and asked him to memorize the article he wrote, but Jiang She also forgot about it.
Guo Hao's face turned gloomy and he looked at Lu Duoxun and Wang Pu on the side. Wang Pu's expression was full of shock, while Lu Duoxun was a little nervous.
"What's going on? This is the top pick you chose?"
"Return to Your Majesty, Jiang She, she may be too nervous. She was flattered when she saw Your Majesty, so she was speechless..."
"That's right, the student was shocked and frightened when he saw His Majesty, so he was incoherent for a moment. Please give the student a chance..."
Guo Hao had already discovered some clues at this time, but Jiang She didn't admit it yet, so he sneered and said, "Since that's the case, I will give you another one. I will give you the first couplet, and you can match the second couplet!"
"Thank you, your Majesty, please give the question!"
"My first couplet is: Work hard to understand the word "all over the world, you should do it!"
After hearing this first couplet, all the students on the scene began to think that they could not do math, they could not investigate things, and if they could not do couplets, then what kind of face do they have to say that they are scholars?
Jiang She thought for a moment and replied with a smile: "Try to eat chicken all over the country!"
