Chapter 978: Talent is hard to find
For practical technical talents, there are also relative technical titles in the Great Song Dynasty, that is, they can be awarded officials, but because it is difficult to be promoted, the grades are very low, and the traditional concept of being an official is the right way to study, so the number of people participating in the medical and arithmetic examinations is very small. Zhao Yu saw that those who really loved it felt hopeless to make the list, so they retreated to these miscellaneous exams in order to be selected as a means of making a living.
In Zhao Yu's view, in fact, the Song Dynasty still attached great importance to medicine, and set up special schools in various states, and also established primary sub-departments, including three subjects: Fangmai, acupuncture, and ulcer. It is subdivided into Dafang Pulse Internal Medicine), Ophthalmology, Oral Tooth and Throat, Wind Medicine, Sores and Injuries, Obstetrics, and Pediatrics). The professors are from Hanlin medical officers, senior students, and good doctors abroad.
The scale of student enrollment has expanded compared with that of the Tang Dynasty, and the learning content of the Fangmai course textbooks is based on Su Wen, Difficult Meridians, and Pulse Meridians. It is based on the theory of Chao's Bo, Nagarjuna, and the golden wing. In addition, each subject also adds monographs of the subject, such as Dafang Pulse and Typhoid Theory. Acupuncture and ulcers are used in two departments, and three acupuncture meridians are added. In addition, there have been revisions, new revisions of medical classics such as materia medica and plain questions, as well as new annotations and revisions, which are also medical study books.
During the reign of Taizong, he edited the Taiping Shenghuifang, and later selected Shenghuiya as a textbook based on this book. With the development of surgery, anesthesiology and forensic science have also developed rapidly, in order to carry out intuitive teaching, diagrams and teaching aids are used, such as Zhongjing 36 kinds of pulse method diagram, "acupuncture and moxibustion bronze man" and so on. It also imitated the Tang system and opened up a medicine garden.
The graduation examination for students is divided into three sessions: the first is an ordinary examination, which asks the three classics and the five truths, and all three subjects must be tested; The second Chen's pulse department tests the pulse and proves that there are two ways of luck and righteousness; acupuncture, ulcer two test associations, three major meridians; In the third field, according to the nature of each section, it is assumed that there are three ways to control the waves. After graduating, the students either participate in the imperial examination, or directly appoint the best students to become noble pharmacists, and the rest are either appointed as doctors of this science, or appointed as professors of medicine in foreign provinces and states.
In Yuan Fengnian, on the basis of the original nine departments, the three specialties of surgery were grouped into "sores and ulcers" and "money and books", and the number of students also increased to 30, which was significantly higher than that of other disciplines. However, Zhao Yu found that the number of people who applied for the medical department this time was very small, and the level of those on the list was not high, especially the paradoxical fact that the number of surgeons was obviously small, focusing on internal medicine, while the osteopathic technique was developing rapidly, giving people the feeling that it was like internal medicine and surgery had a fight, and the surgery was beaten up violently and began to go downhill.
Although Zhao Yu was still staring at the hat of the 'Divine Doctor of the World' on his head, only he knew the true level. But he knew that the development of medicine was not only related to the morale of the army, but also to the surrender of the people. And he not only brought these miscellaneous subjects who could not be on the table in the past to the palace to participate in the palace examination together, but also classified them from the imperial hospital to the management of Taixue, just to show his importance and elevate their position, so as to change the social atmosphere.
As for arithmetic, Zhao found that this most basic discipline has not attracted enough attention from the society, and few people have conducted systematic and professional research. For example, several contributors to mathematics in the Song Dynasty, such as Shen Kuo, Yang Hui, Qin Jiushao and others, were all officials, and the study of mathematics was more out of interest than as a career, so the results were limited.
And Yang Hui, who made Zhao Hao feel the most pity, was a native of Qiantang and had been an official in Suzhou, Taiwan and other places. He inherited the ancient Chinese mathematical tradition, he widely quoted mathematical classics, compiled many mathematical monographs, detailed explanations of algorithms, daily algorithms, multiplication and division of the general variable arithmetic, continuation of the ancient odd algorithm, etc., leaving the 'Yang Hui algorithm' that has been passed down to future generations. Not only did he write extensively, but he was also an outstanding mathematics educator, paying special attention to the popularization of mathematics, and many of his works were written as textbooks for this purpose.
But it was such a baby, but he died in the first year of Xiangxing when Zhao Yu succeeded to the throne, and then he didn't have a chance to meet. If he can live to the present, Zhao Yu is still very willing to discuss mathematical problems with him, and asks him to go out of the mountain to serve as the head of the 'Mathematics Research Institute', responsible for teaching and disseminating mathematical knowledge. But at the moment, he could only collect his scattered writings, and he went into battle shirtless and taught it himself.
Today's ten questions from Zhao Yu are of medium and high difficulty according to the current level, involving basic rafter knowledge such as binary equations and polygon area finding. And with the fact that he has just been fried, it is not easy for these 'masters' on the field to solve half of them. In his heart, he had already admitted all these people, just to check their level.
After coming to the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Hao, an engineering man, has always had a wish in his heart, that is, to establish a scientific research institute. His immediate goal was to popularize the knowledge of physics, mathematics, and chemistry in order to improve the current state of the art and help to create advanced machinery and weapons for the current war.
You must know that since he became the emperor, especially when he returned to Jiangnan, he has not been able to concentrate on high 'research and development' for a long time, and they have been exhausted by daily public and private affairs. Therefore, what Zhao wants to do is to hand over his design ideas and goals to the researchers, and they will complete the complicated design and trial production, so as to exchange the ideas in his mind for real objects and put them into use.
Zhao Yu's long-term goal is to train a group of scientific research workers with modern knowledge and ideas for Guda, China, popularize basic science education, and improve the knowledge level of the people as a whole. In order to catch up with and surpass Western science and technology, and preemptively welcome the arrival of the industrial revolution, so that China can stand tall among the great powers for future generations, and skip that humiliating history
The palace examination was originally a ranking competition, and the examiners ranked in advance according to the merits after grading, and then the emperor appointed the champions, tanhua and lists. Three days after the palace examination, the Ministry of Rites will send the ranking and test papers to the royal pre-imperial review, so as to decide on the list of future dependents. Two days later, the chief examiner Ying Jieyan, Liu Huang and Xu Zongren, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, were summoned to the palace to discuss the matter, and under the guidance of the provocation gate, they went to the Zhile Hall in the back garden.
Zhao Yu considered that Zhiyuantang had almost become a long place for his wives, so it was naturally not convenient to meet with foreign ministers. So he took the hall not far away as his place to meet guests, and it was only separated from the outer court by a palace wall, which was convenient for people to come and go. The Zhile Hall was built on the small West Lake, and there was a bridge connecting it to the shore, but the three people who entered the palace had no intention of enjoying the scenery of the back garden, and their faces were solemn.
The three old men knew from the exam questions that His Majesty had deliberately abandoned the view of science in favor of a more radical and practical new school, which was very similar to the method used by Wang Jiefu to suppress the opposition in order to implement the new policy. And what they studied back then was also science, and some views have long penetrated into the bone marrow, but after all, they have been through trials and hardships for a long time, and they have fought in the court, and they also have a new understanding of science, but this does not mean that the government and the opposition can accept it. As soon as the gold list hand-picked by the emperor comes out, if the scholar of the school of science falls, won't it cause a big wave again.
"Your Majesty's summons is a matter of the palace test?" After entering, the salute has been completed, and Ying Jieyan asked first.
"Exactly, I've already reviewed it and felt that the ranking was a little inappropriate, so I made some new tweaks." Zhao Yu nodded and handed them the documents on the case.
"Your Majesty, why is Han Xintong the champion, although his strategy is extraordinary, but his views are decent, and there is not much new!" The three of them hurriedly looked at it, and Xu Zongren frowned and said. He remembered that he was ranked in the top ten, but he could enter the first list, and it was almost meaningless to be the champion.
"What do you think, sir?" Zhao Yu didn't answer, but asked Ying Jie strictly.
"I think what Xu Shangshu said is good." Ying Jieyan said.
"I thought that the 'application of what I learned' in his text would be the champion." Zhao Hao smiled and said with a smile, he actually doesn't care what school he is, as long as he can match his ideas, among the many moves, he can see these four familiar big characters, and it is estimated that 80% of modern schools have these words written on the walls and floors.
"Chen thinks these four words are excellent, and he deserves to be Chen Pu's favorite disciple!" Liu Huang stroked his beard and chuckled.
"It seems that Governor Liu knows a lot about this person, can you elaborate!" Zhao Yu asked, wanting to know more about the champion he had hand-picked.
"Your Majesty, Chen Puchu lectured in Shitang Mountain, and Xintong and his friend Yang Wan and other disciples received their teachings. Under the guidance of Chen Pu, Xintong searched all the classics of Lianxue, Luoxue, Guanxue, and Minxue in the Song Dynasty, forgot to sleep and eat, and carefully explored. Later, he reorganized and edited the classics, and re-annotated and revised many ancient books. It has been engraved with Huazao, through Zhou, Cheng, Zhang, Zhu Zhixue, cherished by beginners. Because of his profound knowledge, thoughtfulness, and unique approach, he has never been seen before, and is praised by others. Chen Pu was also deeply pleased with the fact that his disciples came out of this high-ranking apprentice and said: I am old, what is the regret of the people who drink water and die? Regard it as the one who bears the mantle. Liu Huang said.
"Well, it turns out that he is not only studying Zhu Li's learning, but absorbing the strengths of various families, so it is not enough to see it." Zhao Yu nodded.
"Your Majesty transferred Zheng Sixiao from the B list to the A list, and still used it as a flower, why?" Xu Zongren asked slowly. And it's not surprising to think about the way the emperor points the champion, which has always been unconventional.
"In the text, it is said that 'the affairs of China are orthodox, and the affairs of orthodoxy are out of the affairs of the saints and the affairs of the ministers, and the affairs of Yi Di are ominous, which is very great.' This sentence is very much in line with my heart, if it were not for his age of more than forty years, he would have taken it as the champion. Zhao Yu said.
"Your Majesty, this statement is obviously not on topic, it is very abrupt, why do you want to take advantage of it?" Liu Huang said with a wry smile.
"I have read his test paper, and this statement is written at the end of the volume, and I see that it is not unaware that the text is not correct, and the book is on the paper, most of it is a feeling in my heart, and I can't help but write it on the paper." Zhao Yu said, "And we are choosing talents for the country, and we are also useful talents, so it can be seen that they are loyal people!" ”
"Your Majesty, I can be described as fiery eyes, and I can read people's hearts from just a few words." Xu Zongren arched his hand and said, "Zheng Sixiao is a native of Fujian, and he was born as a student. After the fall of Jiangnan, he lived in the Buddhist temple in Suzhou, almost isolated from the world, and vowed not to marry. He sat and lay down and did not look north, and when he heard people speaking northern words, he covered his ears and hurried away to show his determination. Good at painting Mo Lan, the first emperor after the northern hunt painted Lan does not paint the soil, the roots are exposed, people ask the reason, Si Xiao replied: The land is taken away by the people, you still don't know it!"
"In other lives, he was inspired by morality, loyal to his father, and never gave up the hope of recovering the country, and kept the festival for Song. He compared shoes to pigs and dogs, saying that the top and bottom are lustful and greedy, like flies seeing blood, like ants admiring it, destroying the principles of heaven, the desire of the poor, and the week is not enough. The resentment and barbarism are palpable. ”
"Racist!" Zhao Yu blurted out after hearing this. From Xu Zongren's words, it can be seen that as an immigrant from the Great Song Dynasty, his attitude towards Meng Yuan was extremely fierce, and he was definitely the most racial-conscious person, and this kind of idea of distinguishing orthodoxy and unorthodoxy with strict Huayi is rare at present. And now the war between Song and Mongolia is a life-and-death war between races, and it is the time when such loyal people are needed to speak out.
"Your Majesty's selection of people is also eclectic, and its feelings can also become a good story if your Majesty appreciates it!" Liu Huang said with a smile.
"Then the people in the first list circled by His Majesty seem to be," Ying Jie Yan pointed to the list.
"Don't say it, sir, I'll make it clear." Zhao Yu understood as soon as he heard it, and interrupted his words and said, "This imperial examination is mainly for people who use hard work, not people who are full of wealth but do not know official business, and it is difficult to put what they have learned into practice. Therefore, those who have been officials have taken advantage, and although Lin Qing's article is not brilliant, it is concise and concise, the words can reach the meaning, the language is easy to understand, and the quoted articles are accurate. The same is true for half of the people who are from the first list. ”
"Hehe, congratulations to Your Majesty for choosing a good talent!" The three of them listened to Qi Qi Shili, and now since Emperor Yu said it so bluntly, he told them that what he chose to read was not the article, but the ideological character and ability to do things. Then it would be in vain for them to persuade them, but considering that His Majesty did not follow Taizu's example and let them fight, it was already much better.
"Alas, I am actually very dissatisfied, many of them are still embarrassed and need time to cultivate. In particular, there are few talents in arithmetic and medical sciences, and it is difficult to appoint them. To my disappointment, I was disappointed that I could not pick out a person who was proficient in astronomy, geography, and arithmetic, which is a pity! Zhao Yu did sigh and said.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, the minister thinks of one person, which is exactly what Your Majesty wants!" At this time, Liu Huang's eyes turned and he said.
"Oh, tell me quickly, where is he and what is his official position?" Zhao Hao asked anxiously
