451 The Earliest Scalpers (8/110)

The Imperial Council, which had gone astray, was discussed until dusk, and it was over.

For this meeting, in fact, many people outside are speculating.

They were thinking that it was estimated that Xingguo Gong was going to take action, and he was going to take action against the people who made trouble before, especially the prisoners of Guozijian.

The reason for this speculation is because yesterday the Yamen of the Beizhili Prefect arrested Kong Dazheng, the nephew of Yan Shenggong, under the supervision of Jinyiwei.

This matter, in the circle of readers, still has a great impact.

Generally speaking, no one will be full enough to move people related to Yan Shenggong.

The officials of the prefect's yamen went to arrest people with great fanfare, and these officials and other related people would not keep it secret, so naturally it spread quickly.

For them, this is a signal for Xingguo Gong to make a move.

In the eyes of ordinary people, after Xingguo Gong heard about the matter on the Jingshi's side, he didn't even go to exterminate the thieves, and the military power said to let it go, and then he came to the Jingshi, which must be very important. If you shoot out in anger, it will definitely bleed five steps or thousands of miles, and it will definitely bleed anyway.

Moved Kong Taizheng, this is the harbinger.

Subsequently, the high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty and the high-ranking officials above the ministry were discussing in the Wenhua Palace, or what happened after the Duke of Xingguo entered the palace, this is an obvious signal.

So, the vast majority of people are just waiting to see how powerful Xingguogong's counterattack will be? There were also a small number of people who hurriedly sent people to Shandong to ventilate and report the news.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that after the meeting in the Wenhua Palace ended, it was only the emperor who interrogated Kong Dazheng and ordered him to enforce the law impartially, and there was no other movement at all.

At that time, people were rejuvenating the country, and there was no action. It seems that she took Princess Kunxing with her, and she actually went to the mountains and rivers.

A day later, news came out that Xingguo Gong was going to build a academy in a place outside the Jingshi City, by the Tongzhou River. I have sent someone to contact the cement factory near Jingshi, and I am looking for craftsmen, and it seems that it will start work soon.

At this time, many people are a little dumbfounded.

They can't understand that Xingguo Gong is thundering and raining, so he really just cleaned up Kong Dazheng, and then there was nothing? It seems that a few of the prisoners of Guozijian were implicated in Kong Dazheng's case, and they were not arrested for other people's trouble with the steam engine, so forget it?

What makes them a little incomprehensible is that looking at the posture of Xingguo Gong, it seems that he is not thinking about going back to the southwest to lead the troops to suppress the thieves.

Seriously, they are a little confused about the logic of Zhang Mingwei's behavior.

This is actually very normal, Zhang Mingwei is not a person on the same plane as them, and his world view and outlook on life are completely different. Using the ideas of this era to speculate on Zhang Mingwei's words and deeds, it would be strange to be able to guess it!

A few days later, someone saw that the construction site by the Tongzhou River had indeed started. All of a sudden, there were a lot of people running to watch.

In this way, the topic on the Jingshi side slowly changed from Xingguo Gong's revenge to Xingguo Gong's opening of a academy.

Almost everyone knows that the academy that Xingguo Gong wants to open is definitely not an ordinary academy, but a academy that teaches new learning.

As a result, some people who are interested in Xinxue, and more people who are interested in Xingguo Gong have begun to inquire about the specific situation of this academy. For example, how to enter the college, tuition fees, and so on.

Perhaps Xingguo Gong knew about the situation outside, and then in the current issue of "Ming Pao", a special page was published with the description of the Daming Jingshi Academy.

People from the outside guessed correctly, the academy is mainly to teach new learning, and will set up subjects such as physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, and mathematics. Xingguo Gong himself is the dean of the college, and the first batch of students he will recruit will be the students of the college, and the students to be recruited are divided into two groups, one is literate students, and the other group is illiterate students, and both men and women can be enrolled.

As long as you become a student of the college, the tuition fee is free, and the poor students also have a living allowance.

In the next issue of Ming Pao, there will be two exam questions, and if someone can answer them correctly, they can be admitted without the exam; Otherwise, there will be a rigorous set of admission interviews. Of course, this is limited to the first student to answer.

As soon as these news were announced, they immediately caused a sensation in Jingshi.

The first reason is that women can also enter this Daming Jingshi College to study! This has never happened before! Otherwise, there would be no story of Zhu Yingtai disguising herself as a man.

Many people feel that this thing has become a system! Especially the people on the Jingshi side are a little puzzled by this.

Everyone's daughter, just show your head like this, okay?

However, some people explained, saying that the students of the Daming Jingshi Academy, male and female students are not mixed, but will be separated. This part of teaching female students will mainly be in charge of Princess Kunxing.

This answer has been accepted by many people. As long as the boys and girls are separated, they are not considered to be in the limelight. What's even more rare is that it is Princess Kunxing who is in charge!

Speaking of which, today's Princess Kunxing is also very famous in Daming. Whether it is unmarried, accompanying Xingguo Gong's side, and fighting together in the south and north, it can be regarded as a heroine. The princess of the Ming Dynasty, the only one!

In addition, it is also because of Princess Kunxing that many people have thought of the new female soldiers under her, called health soldiers and literary soldiers, which have never been done before. Since there are special female soldiers, what is so strange about having special female students?

The second reason that caused a sensation in Beijing was that there would be so much new content, and it was divided into physics, chemistry, biology and so on. And there is no one of the four books and five classics, poems and songs, etc., that I usually know!

Many people are curious, they don't know what physics, chemistry, etc., what is the content and what is so special?

With such curiosity, there are naturally more topics.

The third reason that caused a sensation in Beijing is that the college is rich in money, and the students enrolled are not only free of tuition, but even poor students have living allowances.

Such a good thing is that many people are moved.

This is the academy run by Xingguo Gong in the current dynasty, if you can get in, you will be a student of Xingguo Gong in the future, and you will benefit a lot in the future, and you will have a great future!

It doesn't matter if your family is poor, because there is no tuition fee, and there will even be subsidies.

In this way, everyone began to wonder, what kind of exam questions will be produced in the next "Ming Pao", and as long as they can be answered, they can be admitted without examination?

Many people are worried, there are so many people in the Ming Dynasty, no matter how difficult the question is, it is estimated that there will be people who will, right? If someone else answers first, won't you lose an easy chance to get in?

Of course, some people worry that they are not intelligent enough to answer; However, more people feel that they should be able to, and maybe they can answer it!

So, on the Jingshi side, many people began to inquire about these two questions. I even inquired about the head office of "Ming Pao", and even the old mother who was cleaning inside, someone inquired. If you find out, wouldn't it be better to prepare early?

In the end, though, they were all disappointed.

The news obtained by the headquarters of "Ming Pao" is the same, and the exam questions have not come at all, and it is said that Xingguo Gong will give them before they are printed.

Today, except for a few people, others don't have the energy to ask Xingguo Gong directly.

According to rumors, it is said that the emperor has quietly asked, and he was dumbfounded after listening to the question. Of course, this is a matter in the palace, it belongs to the grapevine, and no one knows whether it is true or not!

Knowing the problem directly does not work, many people start to think of other ways again.

For example, the topics proposed by Xingguo Gong must be in the category of new learning, and they can be sure of this.

As a result, many wealthy people want to take the opportunity to let their living children become protégés of Xingguo Gong, and those who hug Xingguo Gong's thighs have gone to collect some new books that have been circulated before, and then hire the master to start researching and guessing the questions.

Even some people, who have a relationship, have found Huang Zongxi and Fang Yizhi and asked them for advice, what may be the exam questions? There are even some who directly ask Huang Zongxi to teach them first, and maybe they happen to learn the answer!

In short, the Jingshi side, around the topic of Daming Jingshi Academy, is very lively.

Then, there is another phenomenon, which also naturally appears.

At the entrance of the headquarters of "Ming Pao", there are still a few days before the next issue of "Ming Pao" is printed, and there are people queuing here. I just want to get the newspaper as soon as possible, so that I can get the exam questions as soon as possible, so that I don't regret it easily.

If you know the answer to the exam question and the result is preempted by others, it will definitely be regretted in your intestines.

Of course, those who can come here to line up a few days in advance are definitely not the poor people, nor the candidates themselves, but their own servants. Or someone sees a business opportunity, deliberately runs to queue, and then sells the location.

The emergence of this situation also caused the helplessness of the Five Cities Terracotta Division.

Because at night, it's a curfew. These people are reluctant to leave, or else the front line will be gone.

If it were a normal situation, the Five Cities Terracotta Division would definitely not be so verbose, and it would be to arrest people directly. However, this is related to Xingguo Gong, so they don't dare, they can only ask for instructions, and finally open the net.

In this way, the day when "Ming Pao" published the exam questions finally came.

At this time, the long queue is said to be as long as several miles!

The current issue of "Ming Pao" was also reprinted.

At the top, when the time point before the "Ming Pao" is going to be sold, the candidates themselves will come to occupy the pit. There are even some candidates who are not alone, they are accompanied by a lot of masters or something, in case the candidates themselves don't know, there are people who can ask.

As a result, the candidates who got the "Ming Pao" first looked at the question excitedly, and then they were dumbfounded.
