Chapter 105 Daming National Peking University

The sudden appearance of the Ming Dynasty Express has aroused the curiosity of many people, but it has also caused more people to be frightened.

Of course, people are panicked about unknown things, especially many ministers.

They always think this thing is whipping the corpse.

Everyone was cut down, and they were criticized in the newspaper again, and then they were spread to the people and were scolded.

And this time I write an extra case, what if I write it once and it is harmful to officials?

Anyway, someone has an objection again.

Of course, given that the emperor's violent temper has slashed many people recently, some people have opinions, but they have to endure it first.

When the time is right, then the Ming Dynasty report will be ruined.

They didn't know that Chongzhen was also enduring it. When the time was right, he would settle the accounts one by one.

After experiencing the extra mission, Chongzhen had already personally felt the corruption of the bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty.

To cure corruption, we must prevent and guide, and even scrape bones to heal injuries, that is, to chop people's heads and promote capable officials.

But is this over?

Of course not!

Most importantly, reform the origin of officials.

Now all officials are admitted to the imperial examinations.

The imperial examination system was a good system in ancient times, but if the Ming Dynasty really changed completely, it would definitely not be able to rely on the imperial examination system.

In other words, the imperial examination system must be reformed.

You can't just take the eight-legged essay exam, otherwise those who come out will be quarrels who can make verbal tricks.

There was a big problem with ideology at the end of the Ming Dynasty. The Confucian theory of moral supremacy was the political correctness of the Ming Dynasty.

Morality is very good, but once it reaches the political level, it becomes distorted and it is a bird's moral character with the American imperial democracy after the funeral.

So, it needs to be changed.

But it is not that the imperial examination will be changed now. After all, the imperial examination has been around for hundreds of years. It is definitely not that the emperor could cancel it with a wave of his hand and then create another system out of thin air.

So how to change it?

Don’t try the imperial examinations first, and now set up a university.

Let’s start with the talent needed by Chongzhen.

This university is completely separated from the imperial examination system.

The school Chongzhen was handed over to Founderhua for preparation at the beginning of this year.

It is just northwest of Beijing City, called the Ming National Peking University.

On July 10, while the people in Beijing were still discussing the Ming Dynasty Express, Chongzhen had already quietly left Beijing and came to the northwest suburbs.

If you remember correctly, this place should be where Peking University is located in later generations.

The Ming Dynasty National Peking University is not large in scale, and it can even be said to be very small and looks simple.

The school motto is written at the door: Seek truth from facts and explore the truth.

This is what Chongzhen wants to change.

All scholars in the Ming Dynasty were like charlatans, all of whom were the kings of mouths and the originators of keyboard warriors.

The ideology of New China in the 21st century is much simpler, just seeking truth from facts!

Chongzhen entered the gate of National Peking University and walked around it. He said to Fang Zhenghua: "How many people can be accommodated here?"

"Report to your Majesty, you can accommodate 300 people at present."

300 people?

"Yes, the military academy next door should be built as soon as possible."

"yes!"

"Where is Song Yingxing and Xu Guangqi? Are you here?"

"Go and have a look."

Soon after, Fang Zhenghua came back and said, "Prince, both lords have arrived."

"Call in quickly."

Xu Guangqi and Song Yingxing walked in quickly and said, "I will meet your Majesty. I don't know that your Majesty will arrive. Let Your Majesty wait for a long time and be guilty."

"Everyone is free from politeness. Today I ask you to come here just to talk about other things, so don't be rude."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chongzhen took the two of them into the university and said, "What do you think about here?"

The two had doubts.

Chongzhen said: "I will give you an agricultural university configuration. In the future, all officials of the Agricultural Council will be promoted from here. We must select people who have a better understanding of agriculture."

"Your Majesty, this... they have no fame, I'm afraid..."

"The special case of officials in the Agricultural Council is, of course, I don't say that I can be promoted casually, but I have to go through the exam, and you and the two of you will give the test questions."

Xu Guangqi said: "Your Majesty, this matter is quite serious."

"Xu Aiqing, you have planted fields. You are very clear about agriculture. Many officials don't understand at all. How can you manage it well if you let people who don't understand manage it? I want people who understand do what they are good at. As long as they can grow more crops from the field and let the people eat, they can do whatever they are useful."

Of course, Xu Guangqi could farm, and his "Complete Book of Agricultural Affairs" records a lot of agricultural knowledge.

The emperor was right. Now many officials in the Ming Dynasty do not know how to farm, but local land administration and water conservancy are all under the supervision of those officials, which leads to a situation where they don’t know anything and just do nothing.

"Your Majesty's wiseness."

Seeing that Xu Guangqi and Song Yingxing didn't say anything, Chongzhen continued, "Come on, come and see two people with me."

Xu Guangqi and Song Yingxing continued to follow the emperor.

When I walked to the courtyard behind, there were two people waiting.

"Long live the grass people who meet the emperor!"

"Two gentlemen, please don't give me a gift." Chongzhen went over to help the two of them up.

These two are famous figures in the late Ming Dynasty.

One is named Xu Xiake, yes, that's the one who likes to travel around the mountains and rivers.

Xu Xiake was 43 years old this year and had already traveled to many places in the Ming Dynasty. He had detailed records of many famous mountains and historical sites, as well as local customs and people's livelihood.

Another one is Wu Youxing, yes, who is a famous infectious scientist in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties in history.

Neither of these two people were officials, but they were both found by Chongzhen.

What to do?

Worked as a professor at the National Peking University of Ming Dynasty.

Why did this decision?

Because there are not only the colleges of agriculture, but also the colleges of engineering, medical and geography.

All of these subjects are subjects with very high practical value.

For example, the Agricultural College is the main force in the new agriculture of the Ming Dynasty.

Medical schools are the most prepared for the wars that will come later.

Not to mention that the School of Geography has entered the commercial era, the demand for minerals is greater and road construction is greater. You must know geography well.

And these things can no longer be dragged down.

We have to make arrangements in advance to let their roots sprout.

The emperor was very polite and very polite: "Two people have worked hard all the way, thank you for your hard work."

"I dare not, the emperor summoned me, and the people went on a journey day and night."

"Come on, let me know the two ministers who introduced me. This is Lord Xu, my Minister of Works, and my pillar of the Ming Dynasty!"

Of course, both of them knew Xu Guangqi's name and hurriedly said, "I have met Lord Xu."

Xu Guangqi also politely. Although he was a sage, these two people were invited by the emperor. He, the Minister of Works, dare not be entrusted.

"This is Song Yingxing, Lord Song. In the first half of this year, he planted the sweet potatoes from Shuntian Mansion. He harvested a total of 10,000 stones (1.2 million kilograms) in the summer heat!"

"I've met Lord Song."

"Two guys are polite."

If other ministers were present, they would find that the emperor had completely changed his face and became kind and kind, giving people a very comfortable feeling when he made every move.

Zhang Chen is a person who attaches great importance to real talents.
