Yang Shen finally knew why the Son of Heaven would summon such an ordinary Hanlin as him.

It turned out to be a festival wine at Yenching University!

To tell the truth, for the conceited and talented Yang Shen, the sacrificial wine is really not much of an official, his goal is to become a squire before the age of forty, to become a scholar before the age of fifty and even enter the cabinet, the ultimate goal is naturally to become the first assistant, to create a good story of the Ming Dynasty with two first assistants!

Can ...... now He is the six-year champion of Zhengde, and it has been less than three years since he joined the Hanlin Academy, and the only thing he needs to do is to boil his qualifications in the Hanlin Academy, and then wait for the opportunity to be released.

In the Ming Dynasty, there is a tradition of non-Hanlin not entering the cabinet, although it is not absolute, but more than ninety out of five are the case, and Hanlin is released to a place, and the accumulation of political experience itself is to boil up qualifications, of course, this is not to say that you can't directly become a Beijing official when you go out of the Hanlin Academy.

However, being an official in Beijing is the biggest flaw for the officials themselves, they have no experience in governing the locality, and they have never been county officials, state officials, or even officials such as government officials, so they can talk about governing the world.

If you don't have experience in governance at the bottom, you can't govern the big politics, and you still want to join the cabinet if you can't govern the big politics?

To put it bluntly, the qualifications of officialdom are a step-by-step process, Yang Shen is young, and he can also get up!

But now......

He was only from the Hanlin Academy of the sixth grade, and the sacrificial wine was from the fourth grade!

Jump four levels in a row!

It is indeed not uncommon for Ming officials to jump continuously, for example, the seven-rank speech official can directly become the waiter of the third grade, but there are prerequisites.

For example, if you boil your qualifications, you climb step by step to the prefect, Xuezheng and other local senior officials, and then transfer back to Beijing to become a speech official, and after being a speech official for a period of time, you directly start to jump.

What qualifications do you have, and you don't have any experience in local governance, so you want to go from the seventh grade to the third grade?

How can it be!

What's more, the official himself is an official and a lowly authority, and even in the Ming Dynasty, there is a saying that you don't change a waiter, and you want to jump to the political envoy as soon as you go down with a hammer?

The head is hot, and daydreaming is pretty much the same.

Yang Shen didn't think he would daydream, so he asked puzzledly: "Dare to ask why Your Majesty chose Weichen."

Zhu Houwei wants to say, because you are the first genius of the Ming Dynasty in history, because you are the champion, because your father is Yang Tinghe, because you can make Yenching University establish a lot less resistance from scholars......

"Because I want to see if the champion chosen by the imperial brother can be qualified for such a heavy task!"

Yang Shen's spirit was shocked, and there seemed to be a wave of pride erupting from his chest and abdomen, and the words that he was going to refuse were swallowed back raw in his throat.

"The minister must live up to His Majesty's trust!"

"Good! Good! Good! Zhu Houwei laughed and said: "I won't look at the wrong person, let alone choose the wrong person, Yenching University has a champion in charge, and I will rest assured."

At this moment, Yang Shen's heart suddenly rose with the mentality of serving the king with death.

"This is the charter of the school that I have drawn up by myself." Zhu Houwei asked Ren Xing to hand Yang Shen a booklet that was not too thin, and after Yang Shen took it with both hands, he said: "I will allocate 300,000 taels of silver to Yenching University every year for running a school and research, if it is not enough, Yang Qing can just come to me and ask for it, as long as it is reasonable, no matter how much, I will not be stingy."

"I understand." Yang Shen felt that he would definitely become a capable minister, so meeting a king who could fully support him would undoubtedly make his road to a godier smoother.

And Yang Shen can also see that the reason why the emperor opened Yenching University opposite Guozijian was really intentional, and he definitely didn't want to play against Guozijian, he supported Yenching University so much, the purpose was to suppress Guozijian and make Yenching University a holy place for miscellaneous studies.

Otherwise, why give Yenching University 300,000 taels of silver every Chinese New Year's Eve, you must know that Guozijian does not have this treatment, and the upper and lower officials of Guozijian are just taking money, and all the prisoners have to pay silver.

However, the students of Yenching University are not only exempted from restraints, but also include food and shelter, and even books, pens, ink, paper, and inkstones, not to mention anything else, this treatment alone is enough to make the jealous eyes of the Guozi prison students red.

You must know that for prisoners with ordinary family backgrounds, pen and ink inkstones are enough, but paper is definitely a big consumption.

In these years, paper is not cheap, and many students are reluctant to use paper to practice calligraphy, but take a stick to practice on food and even land, how hard it is, it can be seen......

However, I heard that there is a special papermaking workshop in the emperor's Tongzhou Industrial Zone, as well as a special printing factory, a pen-making and ink-making factory, and what pencils have been drummed up?

Wang Shouren Xingxue in Nanzhili, built two thousand township schools before and after, and the books of these township schools are printed by Tongzhou Printing Factory, and the pen and ink are naturally provided by Tongzhou, it is worth mentioning that I heard that the paper mill in Tongzhou has improved the papermaking technology, which not only reduces the cost and increases the output, but also makes the paper not only flexible and fair......

It's a pity that this paper is not sold on the market, and the emperor has not given it to his subordinates, so Yang Shen has not seen it.

"What do you think is the biggest difficulty in opening this Yenching University?"

"Student!" Yang Shen replied without hesitation.

Zhu Houwei said with a smile: "Yes, it is the source of students, there are many rich families in the capital, and there are many dignitaries and dignitaries, and the people who really can't afford to provide their children with education will not be as many as imagined, so the free school system cannot be as attractive as the poor areas."

For today's Ming people, they hope that their children and grandchildren can take the road of studying and taking the imperial examination, so naturally they have to learn the four books and read the five classics, and they can do a splendid article in one hand, but they can learn miscellaneous?

If you learn miscellaneous science well, you can be a businessman, a doctor, a craftsman, and so on, and it is obvious that it will not have much attraction.

However, I have thought of these for a long time, and I have already arranged for Jinyiwei to go to the people to collect, at least the source of students in the primary school will not be a problem, as for the secondary school......

There are not a few scholars in the Ming Dynasty, the imperial examination is hopeless, and there are many students who have wasted their years, and they have no reason to refuse when they choose the right age to enter the middle school and study the classics and things without worrying about food and clothing.

As for the high school department, those children who have failed to pass the examination for more than ten or twenty years are the source of students, because the first thing for them to consider is not the imperial examination, but survival, and survival, so I summoned such children to learn a skill, multiple means of making a living, and they have no reason to refuse at all.

As for the university...... That was years later, and I had my own charter. ”

"Wechen understood." Yang Shen sighed: "Your Majesty's wisdom is like the abyss and the sea, and Weichen admires it."

"Go, the student will arrange it, Aiqing only needs to follow the steps and run the school in accordance with the purpose of running the school in the booklet, and Yenching University will one day stand at the top of the literary world and become a holy place in the hearts of all scholars in the Ming Dynasty!"

"Retire!" Yang Shen bowed and retreated.
