Chapter 286: Yenching University
Chengxian Street in Andingmen, the highest university in the Ming Dynasty, Beijing Guozijian has been noisy!
Guozijian covers an area of forty or fifty acres, and there are all kinds of school buildings, pavilions and pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, beautiful.
Chengxian Street is named after Guozijian, which means that those who walk on this street are all virtuous people of the Ming Dynasty, and the students studying in Guozijian are either official students or people's livelihood.
Guansheng refers to the children of official eunuchs, these people can't go through the imperial examination route, so they rely on their identity as the son of an official to enter the country and become an official, and they can enter the officialdom after successfully graduating after gilding, of course, the children of officials want to enter the country and have to get the emperor's consent, but in fact, the emperor is basically too lazy to care about these, so this matter falls on the head of the officials.
There are many officials and students in the officialdom, but because they are not Jinshi from the imperial examination, they are despised by the Jinshi in the officialdom as well as the people, and if it is not for the strong background, the career is also difficult.
In addition to the official students is the people's livelihood, the people's livelihood is divided into tribute and life, tribute refers to the talent, the show with excellent grades, the student is the person who will try to fall behind, and can directly enter the country to study, after all, the person itself can be an official.
There is also a smaller group of students, who are sent by various vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, but they can enter the country and become students, and their identities in their respective countries must be the top group.
Whether it is a people's livelihood or an official student, or a tribute student or a jusheng, they are all collectively referred to as prisoners, national eunuchs, and prisoners.
Guozijian has Guozijian sacrificial wine, that is, the principal, doctors, almost all department heads, and a large number of uneducated Confucians, as well as Hanlin of the Hanlin Academy.
In later generations, this Guozijian is the first university founded by the central government, and the only one that can compare with it is Nanjing Guozijian, which is still Guozijian......
And the basic professors are academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences......
It can be seen from this that the Guozijian is so strong, so strong, then the students in the Guozijian are naturally proud, basically belong to the kind of people who read except for the prisoners and jinshi are rubbish!
However, the prisoners felt provoked!
Three months ago, the houses opposite Guozijian were relocated, and then all the original buildings were torn down and demolished, and hundreds of civil carpenters built on them, building rows and rows of extremely neat looking houses, these houses have two, three or even four floors!
The most popular cement is used, and the cement is mixed with iron!
In addition to houses and pavilions, walls have also been erected outside the area of sixty or seventy acres, and such a large-scale effort has naturally aroused the curiosity of the people in the capital, and naturally also aroused the attention of the prisoners.
But for a few months, no one even knew what this complex was for!
It is almost unthinkable for this to happen, but it is true, because the civil workers themselves do not know, they only know to do what the foreman says, and the foreman does not know, they only listen to the overseer.
And the supervisor is the master of ceremonies, the chief eunuch Zhang Yong!
Zhang Yong rarely came, and often came a few of his righteous sons, but it was obvious that these eunuchs were all silenced, no matter how they asked, no matter how they bribed, they couldn't ask anything useful.
But one thing is certain, it must be the emperor who built this building, because there are only a handful of people in the world who can make Zhang Yong a supervisor!
After hiding for three months, the people of the capital have become strange, and the prisoners have gradually lost interest, but today, the answer has been revealed!
The answer was revealed by a plaque and a notice.
There are only four big characters on the plaque......
Yenching University!
There is a lot of content on the notice but it is not complicated, at least the people of the capital can clearly understand it after listening to the eunuch read it, and then the news on the notice is like a hurricane spreading to all directions, quickly spreading throughout the capital, and then going north......
Yenching University, a new school established by the Son of Heaven, is not a private school or an official school, because it is directly under the royal family!
The Son of Heaven is a scholar, to open up the wisdom of the people, and a new envoy from the second grade has been set up, and what Wang Shouren did when he went to Nanzhili is not a secret to Guozijian.
But Nanzhili and Beizhili are far away after all, and the Guozijian in Nanjing has no reaction, and Beijing's nature will not react, of course, this also has a lot to do with the fact that Wang Shouren is currently only playing county school at most.
If you want to study, you will learn to study, and the imperial examination will not threaten the status of the prisoners, let alone miscellaneous studies.
But......
The capital of the Ming Dynasty already has a Guozijian, as well as academies, private schools, and dignitaries and dignitaries directly hire Xixi to teach the children of the family, what is the meaning of setting up a school in the capital?
Xing is also Xing, but why did the Son of Heaven build this so-called Yenching University opposite Guozijian!
This is a provocation, a declaration of war!
It is the Son of Heaven who wants to challenge the status of Guozijian in the Ming Dynasty with new learning!
At least that's what the prisoners themselves think.
In addition, the notice also stated that Yenching University will be divided into primary school, middle school, high school and university department.
The primary school is enlightened and arithmetic, the secondary school has one more Gewu, and the higher school has more, Confucianism, arithmetic, Gewu, medicine, business, astronomy and geography, music and painting, as well as chemistry and biology and so on.
In the Faculty of Higher Education, you can choose two of the three major subjects of Confucianism, Gewu and Arithmetic, and the rest can choose at most two and at least one......
As for the university department...... Didn't say it......
The bells and whistles are not interested in the inmates, but there are some things that they are interested in, and they can't bear it!
Because of the admission rules on the notice.
The enrollment rules are very simple, as long as the students of the primary school meet the age requirements, regardless of gender, they can enroll, the limit is 500, free tuition, pen, ink, paper and inkstone and all other miscellaneous fees.
Students recruited by junior high school, starting at the age of ten, must have been enlightened, and can only enter after passing the arithmetic exam, the number of 500, also free.
The high school is stricter, in addition to arithmetic, the object must be understood, but you don't need to know too much, and then you have to choose one of the other categories to take the exam, and those who pass will enter the high school, there is no limit to the number of people, and there is no question of whether to pay or not.
That's all there is to the requirements of the enrollment rules, which means that no matter whether it is a showman, a lifter or a supervisor, you can enroll!
The most important thing is that anyone who interferes with the enrolment of a child who wants to go to school will be punished severely!
To what extent the punishment was not written, but it can be guessed.
The prisoners are noisy and shouting, and the key to boiling back against Yingtian is what is the purpose of the Son of Heaven? Will it have an impact on Guozijian, and even whether Yenching University is likely to replace Guozijian!
At this time, hundreds of prison students had gathered in front of Yenching University, and the noise was like a vegetable market, just here a stone flew out of the crowd, right in the middle of the plaque of Yenching University!
The plaque was smashed out of a pothole!
