After the exam, there is an intense marking session.

After the New Deal, the imperial examination system has been reformed, and every year there are students in the natural sciences who enter the officialdom through the imperial examination, even if they are a showman, at least they can be a clerk in the county government, and the gap between officials and officials no longer exists, as long as the assessment is excellent at the end of the year, officials can be promoted to officials.

If you are a person, you can work as an errand in the government, and your career will be smoother.

However, when these natural science students first entered the officialdom, they were usually in auxiliary positions.

For example, general judgment, chief bookkeeper, discipline, experience, etc., these positions have stronger requirements for professionalism.

Another profound implication of this approach is that in the process of reforming the imperial examination system, we should try to maintain a smooth transition and avoid unnecessary conflicts.

If the students under the new system directly serve as the leaders of the county government and the government office, the impact on the traditional group of scholars is too great.

Now that people start from auxiliary positions, and then promote upwards after excellent assessment, what else do you have to say?

Rao is like this, the annual examination every four years is still the top priority of the Daming Imperial Examination.

For example, Xu Pu and these people still insist on reading the Four Books and Five Classics every day, and the other books are regarded as strange and ingenious.

In their eyes, the so-called natural sciences are nothing more than all opportunistic tricks, and it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance.

But when they saw the electric light with their own eyes, everything changed.

I thought it was just an oil lamp, but no oil was added, and no one lit it, so it turned on!

Xu Pu suddenly realized that things might not be so simple.

The rhythmic sound of a steam stove reminded him of a steam train.

The car that doesn't need mules and horses and no human power to run.

The mystery of the electric light may be related to the steam furnace, but the principle of it is puzzling to him.

For people in the Academy of Sciences, this kind of thing is commonplace, but for those who have not studied systematic scientific knowledge, it is simply a miracle!

The three-day exam ended quickly, and everyone left the examination room, not thinking about how well they did their articles and whether they could be named on the gold list, but ...... What is an electric light?

Why is it lit?

And so, a magical scene appeared.

The gentlemen did not rush back to the inn, nor did they go to the door of the examiner, but poured into the Academy of Sciences, and their demands were not too much, except that someone would explain the principle of the electric light.

When Belin saw so many people, she thought something was wrong and nervously couldn't do it.

After learning the truth, I suddenly felt a sense of ridicule.

I really didn't expect that the Academy of Sciences would also have a day when it was sought after.

I think that at the beginning, when the Academy of Sciences was just established, it was sneered at by the Hanlin Academy, and stepped on it from time to time to show his identity as an orthodox scholar.

Feng Shui takes turns, and the current Hanlin Academy is becoming colder and colder, and it has long lost its arrogance in the past.

Only when the imperial examination was held in the imperial court did the Hanlin Academy have the opportunity to perform.

Headed by Cao Nai, more than 30 examiners were selected from the Hanlin Academy, the Ministry of Rites and other yamen to review the test papers.

After the first pass, there is a cross-check.

If the two examiners give roughly the same score, the score of the paper will be determined.

If the discrepancy is too large, it will be reviewed by a third examiner.

When all the results are out, all examiners will need to conduct another review of the top 30.

After five days of closed grading, finally, the final results came out.

Outside the Gongyuan, the sedan chair of the lords had already been prepared, Cao Nai greeted everyone, sat in the sedan chair, and went home.

"Master, you're back!"

As soon as the sedan chair stopped, the porter had already come out, set up the stool, and opened the sedan curtain.

Cao Nai got off the sedan chair and did not forget to instruct: "Someone will come to the door in the next few days, you just say that the old man is not well, and he will not be a guest for the time being, but you can leave the name card first." ”

"Yes, sir!"

When the porter was instructed, he naturally knew what to do.

As the saying goes, the prime minister's seven-rank official in front of the door must know the rules if he can be a porter in the house of the first assistant of the cabinet.

Just after the spring season, the master is the chief examiner, and those students will definitely rush to pay respects.

Since it is a salute, it is naturally indispensable to worship, and of course it is indispensable to have your own share.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but have a smug smile on his face.

Throughout the night, however, it was surprisingly quiet.

Not to mention that someone came to the door, not even a dog appeared.

Early one morning, Cao Nai got up and washed up, and slowly came to the front hall for breakfast.

The porter came over with two dark circles under his eyes, and greeted him first.

"How many people came last night?"

Cao Nai picked up a steaming bowl of eight-treasure lotus seed porridge and stirred it with a spoon.

"Back to the old man...... Nobody ......"

"Huh?"

Cao Nai raised his head and asked suspiciously, "Didn't anyone come to the door?" ”

"This ...... Not really. ”

The porter secretly said in his heart, I waited all night, let alone people, I didn't even see a ghost!

Cao Nai's brows furrowed, and he slowly put down the porridge bowl, secretly thinking, how could there be no one?

Could it be ...... This guy is lazy and goes to bed early?

"yes, got it!"

In any case, be calm.

The porter bowed down and said, "Master, you eat first, and the little one will go back to make up for sleep, I didn't sleep all night last night, and I can't open my eyes." ”

Cao Nai was puzzled and asked, "Why didn't you sleep?" ”

The porter said weakly: "Wait for someone to come!" ”

Cao Nai was speechless for a moment, okay, I just wronged others......

The meal was tasteless, and when he saw the hour, he got on the sedan chair and walked towards the palace.

In the past, when I went to the court, I took a break on the road, but today I can't sleep at all, and as soon as I close my eyes, I can't help but wonder in my mind, where has this person gone?

The old man is the main exam, if you don't come to pay respects, what are you waiting for?

Could it be that the title of this first assistant is too big, and all the students dare not come to the door?

Not really......

"Master, it's here!"

"Huh?"

Cao Nai opened his eyes, but found that he had arrived at the noon gate.

At this time, it was not yet dawn, everyone was waiting at the door, and when they saw Cao Nai's arrival, they stepped forward to salute.

Zhang Yi walked over and said with a smile: "Cao Gong worked hard! ”

Cao Nai nodded in response.

Zhang Yi asked again: "The threshold of Gong Cao's house was about to be broken last night, right?" ”

"Uh-huh, uh-huh......"

Cao Nai had to agree randomly, but the smile on his face was a little stiff.

When the door was opened at noon, the hundred officials entered the palace and saw that the emperor had come to court.

Now, whether the emperor comes to the court or not depends on the mood, and today can be regarded as arrested.

Cao Nai took the lead in the performance, mainly talking about matters related to the examination papers.

After the examination, there is another temple examination.

Only by passing the palace examination can you get the meritorious name of Jinshi.

After listening to this, Zhu Qizhen nodded and said: "Now that the results have come out, the celebrant will seal it and make an announcement." ”

"Yes!"

Cao Nai saluted and retreated, and Zhang Yi was just about to step forward, but was preempted by Bei Lin.

"Enlighten the emperor, and the ministers have something to play."

"What?"

"In recent days, a large number of students have come to the Academy of Sciences to observe and study, and there are thousands of people, can the Academy of Sciences set up some temporary positions for these people, so as to speed up the research process of some topics while popularizing science?"

Belin is in a hurry now, thousands of people, all young talents.

Such a good resource took the initiative to send it to the door, so hurry up and take it under your command!

Zhu Qizhen asked, "Who are they?" ”

"Back to the emperor, they are all people who came to participate in the examination."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the hall.

Cao Nai looked at him with strange eyes, and secretly said in his heart, no wonder no one in his family came, it turned out that he was snatched away by the Academy of Sciences!

At this time, Xiao Weizhen, the head of the Hanlin Academy, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the results of these students have not yet been announced, and it is not appropriate to have too much to do with the imperial court, not to mention that they still have to prepare for the palace examination, if they are distracted for other purposes, it is really inappropriate." ”

This person was the first person to lead the thunder in the first place, and it was strange to say that six people were tied together, Xiao Weizhen was still the first, but he was seriously injured himself, and the other five were killed on the spot.

Afterwards, the incident was determined to be a natural disaster, and the five families were paid pensions in a hurry.

However, Xiao Weizhen was miraculously cured and continued to serve as the head of the Hanlin Academy.

Zhu Qizhen originally planned to replace this old pedant, but the cabinet came over to intercede, plus they just did an experiment, which can be regarded as objective and realistic, the experiment is risky, and the fault is not in the person.

The Academy of Sciences often fails experiments, and there are casualties, and if the experiment causes death, it is a bit unreasonable to say that people will be dismissed.

Zhu Qizhen was not thinking about these, he just felt that since there was an Academy of Sciences, the responsibilities of the Hanlin Academy would be simpler, and it would be good to be only responsible for literature and history.

Although those old scholars are old-fashioned, they are still very suitable for the study of literature and history.

In that case, just let him continue to do it.

Anyway, now that the Hanlin Academy has become more and more declining, this position is not so important.

However, Xiao Weizhen kept the Academy of Sciences in his heart, because he ...... Watch your eyes.

was cracked by thunder, and he lost the face that he had saved for half his life.

Afterwards, he did not sink down to reflect on his mistakes, but blamed all the problems on the Academy of Sciences.

Those traitors in the Academy of Sciences have long known that the thunder will be cracked, but they don't stop it, and they watch jokes there!

has such a mind, and on weekdays, he goes to great lengths to catch the pigtails of the Academy of Sciences.

Today, I finally have a chance!

Those lifters have just finished the exam and have not yet released the results, they are the most sensitive, what is your academy going to do?

What is the purpose of approaching these people in such a big way?

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, I saw that the emperor's face sank.

He was secretly proud in his heart, this time, the Academy of Sciences had committed a taboo.

Why is the last imperial examination a palace examination?

Because everyone, before entering the court as an official, must be a protégé of the Son of Heaven.

The emperor personally presided over the examination and was the nominal mentor of all candidates.

And isn't it a bad attempt for the Academy of Sciences to privately contact these people without permission?

Zhu Qizhen said in a deep voice: "Is the Hanlin Academy idle and has nothing to do, you students want to go to the Academy of Sciences to gain some knowledge, what does it matter to you?" ”

Xiao Weizhen's face turned dark with a brush......

No, why is it on your own head?

Seeing this, Cao Nai said: "The emperor is angry, and Bachelor Xiao is also kind, before the results are announced, it is indeed a little inappropriate for the students to have too much contact with the imperial court." ”

Zhu Qizhen shook his head and said, "The Academy of Sciences is not a ministry, what's wrong?" Besides, those students are willing to get in touch with scientific knowledge, which is a good thing, and it should be encouraged. ”

"But ......"

Cao Nai hesitated: "The palace test is about to start, if you are distracted by other things at this time......

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said: "The Qing family is too worried, according to me, everyone has a studious heart, this is my luck to be Ming, Belin!" ”

Belin hurriedly stepped forward: "The minister is here!" ”

"You immediately go down to arrange, set up some temporary positions in each research group, let the students choose for themselves, what they like, what they are interested in, and directly arrange past internships, during this period, give people some subsidies, after all, they are all here to catch the exam, and there are not many entanglements on the body, as for how much...... It's up to you. ”

"Yes!"

Zhu Qizhen said again: "I only ask you to do one thing, to ensure the safety of personnel, you can't go to dangerous posts, understand?" ”

Belin saluted, "Obey the order!" ”

"That's right......"

Zhu Qizhen suddenly changed his words and asked, "What discipline are you more interested in?" ”

"Back to the emperor, judging from the past few days, there are the most people who are interested in the power laboratory, accounting for eighty percent!"

"So much?"

Zhu Qizhen felt a little surprised, and when he thought about it carefully, it was also common sense.

Because everyone has seen electric lights with their own eyes, such a magical thing, it's no wonder that they are not interested.

Speaking of which, there is also a credit to the prince!

Thinking of the crown prince, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously, and he asked, "Electric power laboratory...... Is there enough space? ”

"Back to the emperor, the new base specially expanded the power laboratory, but there were 800 more people all of a sudden...... It's not enough......"

Zhu Qizhen nodded, yes, more than 800 people is really a bit much.

"You explain to the students that there are many magical things in the Academy of Sciences, and electric lights are just one of them, so try to divert people as much as possible."

"Obey the order!"

After talking about the questions of the Academy of Sciences, the others came to the prelude one after another.

Cao Nai glanced at Xiao Weizhen and sighed helplessly.

The Hanlin Academy has declined, or rather, the traditional scholars have not been able to keep up with the development of the times.

Even he, the head of the cabinet, is not as good as the Academy of Sciences.

Xiao Weizhen also saw Cao Nai's expression, and his heart was even more mixed, and he didn't know what to do.

He is unwilling to be eliminated by the times, unwilling to lose his former power, but what can he do?

As far as the eye can see, the world is changing with each passing day, and everyone is improving.

Small traders and peddlers, and even children from ordinary people's families, were sent to the school to study.

In the past, it was unimaginable.

The way of the world has changed!
