My Daming New Empire

"It's almost finished. Hu Liangshi has been tidying up day and night these days."

Hu Liangshi is the female official next to Lan Yan, and also the apprentice brought out by Lan Yan.Zhu Zhanji has met her several times, and she far surpasses him in some chemical knowledge theories.

Although she is a woman, Zhu Zhanji is also ready to reuse her.Among other things, he must be qualified to be a director of the Institute of Chemistry, or a professor at Habayashi School of Health.

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "In the past few days, I will focus on the important affairs of Qiu Wei. After staying for a few days, I will go to see your results."

Today is the seventeenth day of August, the last day of the nine-day rural examination.No matter whether it is the Department of Counseling, Jinyiwei, Metropolitan Procuratorate, or the Six Divisions, they dare not be sloppy now. They are keeping an eye on the [-] examination rooms across the country to prevent fraud.

Daming has two capitals and fourteen prefectures, a total of sixteen provincial units, which are sixteen examination rooms.

In addition, there were sixteen capitals in the Ming Dynasty, and some capitals and the Chief Secretary were intersected. There was also an examination room for the four capitals in the southwest, and an examination room for the seven military guards in the northwest.

In addition to the Jiaozhi Cheng Xuanzheng Secretary and the Jiugang Xuanwei Chief Secretary, a total of [-] examination rooms were formed.

However, both Jiaozhi and Jiugang are in Nanyang, and there are not many scholars there, and even fewer can meet the standards required by Ming Dynasty.

The examination room was set up there this year, not for the local people, but for those scholars who provide cultural assistance.

Before Zhu Zhanji went to sea, the Ming Dynasty sent thousands of scholars, and even recruited people, to various countries in Southeast Asia for cultural dissemination, teaching the locals to speak Ming dialect and learn to write Ming characters.

They were all directly awarded the position of academic officer. Some of them had given up the idea of ​​scientific examination, but most of them still wanted to follow the orthodox background.

Although even if you win the Juren, get admitted to Jinshi, and enter the officialdom, you will not have a higher status, but the upper line of Jinshi can be a second-rank minister.

If they don't take this path, the upper limit can only be the county magistrate at most, which is completely different.

It is also because of them that the imperial court has decided that next year's Chunwei, that is, the general examination, will be postponed to March, leaving enough time for these students who have passed the exam to enter Beijing.

In fact, Zhu Zhanji has no interest in the righteousness of these people, but these are the selection criteria of the imperial court. Zhu Zhanji must follow this rule before other subjects are popularized and there are no substitute exams.

So this afternoon, accompanied by Xie Jin and Hu Yan, he came to Yingtianfu Guozijian to encourage the students who had finished their exams.

Yingtianfu Guozijian is the highest educational institution in the Ming Dynasty. In the 15th year of Hongwu, it was established by Zhu Yuanzhang's edict as the national educational management institution and the highest institution of learning in the Ming Dynasty.

The official name of Yingtianfu Guozijian should be Daming Guozijian. It is located in the south of Jilong Mountain in Yingtianfu, covering an area of ​​several thousand mu.

In the 12th year of Yongle, the highest educational institution in Ming Dynasty, the number of students reached 9000, and in the 15th year of Yongle, the number of students exceeded 1.

As long as he entered the gate of the school, it meant that the identity of the student had completely changed. Even if he failed the imperial examination in the future, it would be easy to make up for a job as an official.

Although the number of students here has exceeded 1, it does not mean that it is easy to enter.

If local students in Ying Tianfu want to enter, they must at least have the status of a scholar, while students from other places can only enter if they raise people.

Moreover, he must be recommended by local officials. In a state capital, no more than five people can be recommended in a year, and they must go through an assessment.

It is much more difficult to get into here than Peking University and Tsinghua University in later generations.

In addition to Daming students, there are also many Dongying and North Korean students here, and there are hundreds of students from Jiaozhi.

Most of them are outstanding elites from countries deeply influenced by Confucianism. Most of them, after coming to Daming, are unwilling to go back and want to become real Daming people.

As the future of the empire, the hope of the empire, those talented students who had experienced nine days of torture, saw Zhu Zhanji's arrival, and immediately revived with full blood on the spot.

Their madness is much more fanatical than the students of later generations, even if Habayashi guards are waiting in full force, they are still thrown into chaos by their impact.

In the face of these future officials, the soldiers of the Habayashi Guard did not dare to treat them roughly, they could only put their arms around their arms and deal with their impact with difficulty.

The students of later generations have experienced the thought of enlightenment and the idea that everyone is equal.

But now that Confucianism is in power, the ethics of heaven, earth, monarch, relatives and teachers have been integrated into everyone's blood.

Seeing Zhu Zhanji's appearance, Master Wu was so excited that he burst into tears.

Zhu Zhanji, like the leaders of later generations, waved to the students while walking towards the inspection stand in the school field.

Seeing this scene, Hu Yan couldn't help saying to Zhu Zhanji in a low voice: "Your Highness, this Ming student respects you the most!"

This is indeed the case. Although there have been rumors that Zhu Zhanji doesn't like Confucianism, for the entire Ming Dynasty, Zhu Zhanji is still the most trusted heir of most people.

Because Zhu Zhanji's ability has been experienced and presented for many years.

In the 12th year of Yongle, 16-year-old Zhu Zhanji went into battle in person and killed 43 enemies.

It was also in this year that the Beimingshan Copper Mine was discovered. The gold and copper produced here not only alleviated the money shortage in Daming, but also drove an economic cycle in the entire north of Daming.

It made Daming's garrison in the north no longer a burden, and completely changed the situation in the north.

There is no need to build the Great Wall anymore, because the territory of the Ming Dynasty has reached as far as Mobei, and the area around the Great Wall has become the hinterland.

Especially in the 13th year of Yongle, the appearance of new muskets completely changed the situation of the war, and the cavalry on the grassland no longer had any advantage.

A soldier who has undergone simple training and holds a musket in his hand can deal with several cavalry who have been trained for many years.

The number of people on the prairie was small. In the past, they relied on the mobility of cavalry to become a serious problem for Daming, but now, they could not pose a threat at all.

Then, Zhu Zhanji established various research institutes in Xiamaqiao. Although these are miraculous skills and ingenuity in some people's eyes, no one can deny that these ingenious skills and ingenuity have changed Daming and made people's lives better and better. more convenient.

Moreover, Zhu Zhanji vigorously developed trade when he was young, and after 13 years in Yongle, he changed the original exploration and cooperation trade to free trade.

This not only allowed the imperial court to make huge profits, but also promoted the development of the private economy and made people's lives better and better.

Afterwards, he wiped out the pirates, and directly captured Dongying, which Meng Yuan had not conquered twice, and captured the Dongying royal family to Daming.

After three years at sea, Zhu Zhanji didn't seem to have done any major things, but when he came back, he directly brought back goods worth more than 2000 million silver, which is comparable to the tax of Ming Dynasty for one year.

There is also rice brought back from the Nanyang region. Although it is not profitable for the common people to farm, no one can deny that the people of Ming Dynasty do not have to worry about starving no matter whether they encounter natural disasters or man-made disasters.

Whether it is martial arts or martial arts, Zhu Zhanji, the heir, is qualified, and none of these students thinks that he is not the master of Ming Dynasty.

At this time, some of his minor shortcomings were naturally covered up.

An heir who can bring long-term peace and stability to Daming, and make Daming prosperous, can no longer demand more.

He doesn't like Confucianism, so it's a big deal in the future to learn a little more mathematics besides Confucianism, and it will be fine.

For this grandson, they are willing to change themselves.

The commotion brought by Zhu Zhanji gradually subsided after a cup of tea. Under the arrangement of the professor, all the students were divided into different squares according to their grades and sat on the campus.

This reviewing stand is based on the method of stage sound amplification, and eight large tanks are buried under the reviewing stand, using the principle of sound resonance to spread the sound.

Although there is some distortion, the sound amplification effect is still very good.

It was not until the students under the stage were all crowded tightly and sat around the reviewing platform that Zhu Zhanji walked to a hollow copper pipe in front of the stage.

The voice of his speech will pass through the copper pipe and be transmitted to the vibrating membrane sewn with thin sheepskin under the copper pipe.The bottom of the copper pipe is horn-shaped, and the sound passes through the vibrating membrane, forming a resonance space with the eight-port large cylinder, and then transmits it.
