Chapter 388 University Enrollment Expansion
"This is a good thing. Now the entire Xuan Town is booming and the people are getting richer. It's the right time to recruit more students." Tang Ruowang kept nodding, agreeing with Liu Wenzhong's idea very much.

"In that case, I'll leave this matter to you, after all, you are good at it."

As Liu Wenzhong spoke, he took out a piece of paper and began to write on it.

The content on the paper is mainly Liu Wenzhong's arrangement for this expansion of enrollment, which includes a series of things such as the number of recruits, the method of enrollment, and so on.

"The method of recruitment should follow the method of the previous exam. As for the exam questions, you can arrange these things yourself, and I won't interfere too much." After Liu Wenzhong finished writing, he handed over the enrollment expansion regulations to Tang Ruowang.

Tang Ruowang took the regulations, looked at them for a while, and then bowed his hands to Liu Wenzhong, "Does Master Liu have anything else to do? If not, then I will retire first?"

"No more, you can go down." Liu Wenzhong waved his hands, and then lay down on the table again, busy with his own affairs.

Tang Ruowang stuffed the regulations into his arms and walked out of the office hall.

Looking at the sun in the sky, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, "This is a place of freedom and respect for knowledge, and everyone here is very enlightened. If everyone in the empire is like Xuanzhen, how great would it be?"

Tang Ruowang knew that the empire would never become like Xuanzhen.

Tang Ruowang rode his bicycle and headed towards the university in Xuanzhen.

The university in Xuanzhen is located outside the city of Xuanzhen and was built independently.

The shape of the university building is generally similar to that of this era, the only difference is that there is a seven-story building in the center of the university.

This building is not only the school's library, but also the office of the school's faculty and staff. It also houses the school's student files and other materials.

The entire school occupies a small area, and it is incomparable with the universities of later generations.

But in this era, it is already considered good. There are more than 100 classrooms in the school, all of which are made of cement.

There are also various laboratories in the school, but these laboratories are still the most basic laboratories.

The school is a square with the library building in the middle.

In front of the library there is a square that can accommodate tens of thousands of people. The square is paved with cement and surrounded by willow trees.

The classrooms of the school are arranged radially around the library, and the student dormitory building is at the outermost edge.

There is a lot of greening in the school, and there are trees next to almost every road.

There is an artificial lake in the southeast of the school, covering an area of ​​about seven or eight acres.

To the west of the school is a huge playground, which is paved with cement, and there is a viewing platform beside the playground.

The whole school is surrounded by a tall wall, with a total of two gates, a south gate and a north gate.

The south gate is the main gate, which is similar in structure to the university gates of later generations.

Just above the gate hangs a school name plaque written by Liu Wenzhong.

The name of the school is also very simple, it is called Daming University.

The design of the entire university was designed by Zhao Wen with reference to the universities of later generations. Except for the different shapes of the buildings, the overall layout of the universities is not much different from that of later generations of universities.

Tang Ruowang rode his bicycle to the bottom of the library building, parked his bicycle in the carport under the library building, and then walked in.

His office is on the second floor of the building, next door to a huge conference room.

Tang Ruowang walked into his office, opened the window, sat on his desk, spread the regulations that Liu Wenzhong handed over to him on the desk, and then began to copy them.

After copying, he sealed the regulations that Liu Wenzhong had handed over to him, and then walked out of the office with the copied regulations.

Time passed slowly, and after lunch, the sky dimmed.

Because there is no electricity, there is no such thing as late self-study in the university at this time.

After a day of teaching, all the teachers returned to their offices in the library building to pack up.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tang Ruowang gathered all the teachers into the conference room.

The meeting room was brightly lit by dozens of tallow candles, and the teacher who was hit by Tang Ruowang sat quietly on the chair in the meeting room.

The layout of the meeting room is similar to the layout of the meeting room in later generations of universities. The leader sits at the front of the meeting room, while ordinary faculty and staff sit opposite the university leader.

Except for Tang Ruowang and others among these teachers, the rest are all young teachers trained by Zhao Wen himself in advance.

After a short meeting, Liu Wenzhong's enrollment expansion plan was finally implemented, and various details of the enrollment expansion were also finalized.

Like the previous admissions, the admissions this time are also in the form of examinations, and the admissions are made in order of grades.

A total of 4000 students will be enrolled in this expansion, and only two subjects, Chinese Studies and Mathematics, will be taken.

As for the news of the expansion of enrollment, it will also be passed on through the Da Ming Daily.

"The test papers for the exam also hope that everyone can work together and try to make the test papers within two days.

According to Mr. Liu Wenzhong's plan, the exam is scheduled for five days later, that is, October [-]rd. Please hurry up.

As for this exam, it will be publicized through the Da Ming Daily. Starting tomorrow, we will have to register the number of applicants and arrange the exam room, so it will be hard for you these few days. "

Tang Ruowang announced the adjournment of the meeting after a few words of advice.

……

"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers, Daming University is going to expand its student enrollment. From today to October [-]st is the registration period for the exam, and there is no waiting after the deadline. Come and see, students who want to be admitted to Daming University, don't miss it. "

Early the next morning, a newsboy carrying a messenger bag appeared in the streets and alleys of Xuan Town.

They waved the Da Ming Daily in their hands and shouted with all their might.

A 20-year-old scholar wearing a blue T-shirt had just stepped out of his yard when he heard the yelling of the newsboy.

"Daming University? Enrollment expansion?" The scholar's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly searched for the voice.

As for the hottest thing in Xuanzhen now, apart from Zhao Wen personally leading the troops out, it was the matter of selecting students from universities to become officials.

After learning about this at that time, almost all the scholars in the city were excited.

If you want to say which thing the Chinese people are most passionate about, I am afraid that there is nothing else other than being an official.

At the beginning, many scholars in the city, especially the ones with a family of scholars, although they did not say anything publicly about the university established by Zhao Wen, secretly they were very contemptuous.

Those parents who have experienced the imperial examination, in their eyes, the university established by Zhao Wen is deviant.

Since ancient times, being an official has been through the imperial examination. Except for the Sanshe method of Wang Anshi in the Song Dynasty, almost all the rest are obtained through the imperial examination.

Therefore, when Zhao Wen got out of university, these people tried their best to prevent their children from going.

Since ancient times, to study is to be an official, not to be an official, who still reads.At the beginning, these people thought that they could not become officials if they went to college, so they didn't have much interest in going to college.

Of course, not everyone is like this, otherwise, the university would not be able to recruit so many students.

But a few days ago, when Liu Wenzhong selected outstanding students from the university to go to Shanxi Town, they realized that the previous imperial examinations were no longer valid, and now they had to go to university.

Although the newspapers said at the time that they were going to practice, these mature people understood in an instant that this was not a practice, and it was obvious that Zhao Wen was going to start building his future ruling team.

If you don't participate at this time, it will be too late in the future.

As Xuanzhen became more and more prosperous, many gentry dragged their families to Xuanzhen near Xuanzhen, especially in Beizhili.

Of course, Zhao Wen was also happy to see these gentry come to Xuan Town, except for those bullies and evil gentry.

The gentry who can be put into Xuan Town by Zhao Wen are basically gentry who have been carefully investigated by Zhao Wen, have a clean net worth, and have not done evil things, otherwise Zhao Wen would not have let them in.

After these gentry entered Xuanzhen, they also helped Xuanzhen a lot.

The gentry who came to Xuanzhen, when they saw what Xuanzhen looked like, they immediately understood that it would be a matter of time before Xuanzhen replaced Daming, so the gentry who entered Xuanzhen also put their treasure on Zhao Wen .

"What? Daming University is going to expand its enrollment? Is it true?" The former scholar held the newspaper he had just bought, and the excitement on his face was undeniable.

Before the afternoon, the people in the entire Xuan Town knew about the expansion of Daming University's enrollment.

Xuanzhen Zhencheng, a middle-aged scholar wearing a round neck shirt and a square flat crown sat in the study, looking at his son standing in front of him.

"Chang'er, this expansion of university enrollment is an opportunity for you and our Sun family. Even though we are doing well in Xuanzhen and even have some business, we are still outsiders to Xuanzhen. .

If you want to fully integrate into Xuanzhen, it depends on you this time. "The middle-aged scholar stroked the long beard on his chin and said earnestly.

Sun Qingchang looked at the newspapers on the table, and said with some dissatisfaction: "I was going to the university when I was recruiting students, but you refused to let me go, and said that this university is deviant and not the right path."

The middle-aged man became a little embarrassed, "What are you talking about? Didn't you know that this university can be an official as a father? I didn't see Mr. Zongbing say that the university can be an official."

"According to your opinion, those who cannot be officials are deviant, and those who can be officials are right?" Sun Qingchang retorted.

Sun Qingchang's words really stumped the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man hesitated for a long time, but he didn't know how to explain it.

From ancient times to the present, these gentry have basically been like this. Anything that benefits them is the right way.Anything that is not good for oneself is deviant.

This kind of rule is the same all over the world.All the prosperity of the world is profit, and the world is all profit.

The reason why so many people turn to Zhao Wen is not because of Zhao Wen's charisma, but because Zhao Wen can bring them benefits.

"It's different now, I've been in Xuanzhen for so long, and I finally figured out a lot of things.

Especially this time, select personnel from the university and go to govern the captured Shanxi Town.

From this incident, I can see that Mr. Zongbing is already dissatisfied with traditional scholars like us. The middle-aged man stood up, walked out of the study with his hands behind his back, and looked at the sun in the sky.

"That's right, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the gentry's appetite has become more and more greedy, especially those in the southeast.

The appetite of these people was even greater. Under the collusion of officials and gentry, the imperial court was fooled into canceling commercial taxes and various taxes that were not beneficial to them.

Then they dug the corners of the imperial court. The Ming Dynasty can be like this now, and they have more than half of the credit. "

Sun Qingchang said with a puzzled expression: "Father, but we are also gentry. Besides, what does this have to do with the commander-in-chief? What does it have to do with the university?"

The middle-aged man turned his head, smiled wryly and shook his head.

"Why doesn't it matter? It's a big deal. Master Chief Soldier wants to train his own team, and he plans to use the talents he cultivated to replace the entire Ming Dynasty.

From ancient times to the present, no matter whether he is a foreigner or not, as long as he wants to stabilize the country, he must rely on us people.

But now, Lord Chief Soldier directly throws us aside and trains us again. "

The middle-aged man walked to the yard in front of the study, paced slowly, and gradually analyzed it for his son Sun Qingchang.

"If that's not the case, why do we pick those stinky brats from the university? Why don't we who raise people and get promoted?

I went to a university to attend lectures before, and most of the content taught was practical.Although the Four Books and Five Classics of Confucius and Mencius are also taught, they do not take up much weight.

Obviously, what Mr. Zong Bing wants is someone who understands practical knowledge, not those of us sour scholars who only care about others. "

The middle-aged man felt extremely bitter when he thought that Zhao Wen didn't trust them who were well-versed in poetry and books.

But there was nothing he could do about it.Xuanzhen has a strong army and horses, even if he has 1 people who are unwilling, it is of no use at all, and he will be expelled if he doesn't do well.

"To be honest, I also admire the courage of Lord Zong Bing. If he can really change the entire Ming Dynasty from top to bottom, maybe he will reproduce the scene of the Tang Dynasty." The middle-aged man looked at Sun Qingchang, slowly explained slowly.

The middle-aged man was right, Zhao Wen just wanted to train a new batch.

Otherwise, relying on these officials, even if he has great abilities, he will only be the next Chongzhen.

For these gentry in the late Ming Dynasty, Zhao Wen really couldn't believe it.

"But we are also gentry, and I still have a reputation as a scholar, will the commander-in-chief trust me?" Sun Qingchang couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he heard his father say this.

If this is the case, Mr. Zongbing rejects gentry so much, why would he choose me as a gentry boy?

The middle-aged man laughed loudly, "Don't worry, who is the commander-in-chief, since he dares to choose you, he is sure to turn your mind around.

Otherwise, during the previous enrollment, Mr. Zong Bing had incited you so badly with a few words in the newspaper.

I remember that you liked this art of numerology before. I thought it was useless before, but I didn't expect it to be completely absorbed today.

If you don't understand the art of mathematics at all, even if you are given the chance, you will not be admitted to this university. "

Sun Qingchang's father was relatively open-minded, and he was not one of those sour scholars who only know what to do with others. At least he understood the meaning of Zhao Wen's series of actions.
