Wang Euzhi said: "I don't know much. I just know that Nanjing University was specially established by His Majesty to spread science. We are the first batch of college students, only eight hundred. Some are specially recruited and some come through examinations."

Although Wang Fuzhi's words revealed a lot of information about Nanjing University, they were all disclosed by the imperial court during the recruitment process, so he did not know much about Nanjing University.

Zheng Sen's knowledge of Nanjing University was limited to this. For example, he was a special admissions student, so he was a little disappointed.

Immediately asked: "Brother Wang came here through special recruitment or examination?"

"take an exam."

"Are the test questions difficult?"

"Brother Zheng, does he know about the Royal Selection Section of the Provincial Examination last year? The entrance examination questions of Nanjing University are much more difficult than those of the Royal Selection Section, and the knowledge involved is more complex."

Royal examination?

Zheng Sen was slightly embarrassed after hearing this.

When the Da'ei imperial court held the provincial examination last year, Fujian had not yet surrendered. How did he know what the topics of the imperial examination were? However, he had heard a little bit about the Imperial Examination.

He then said: "I heard that the imperial examination course was set up by the imperial court to select officials. Could it be that Nanjing University was also opened to train officials?"

Such a guess made Zheng Sen inevitably frown.

Did he know that his ambition was to be in the officialdom? If the Da'ei imperial court trained him as a minor official, wouldn't it be an intentional insult?

Wang Fuzhi laughed when he heard this and said, "Brother Zheng must be from Fujian or Guangxi based on his accent, right? It's not surprising that he has misunderstandings about the imperial examination."

The Royal Selection Examination examines arithmetic and general affairs of prefecture and county yamen, which indeed has the purpose of selecting officials. But among them, those who are outstanding in arithmetic can enter the Academy of Sciences, and their treatment is the same as that of ordinary people.

In addition, officials in Da'ei can easily be promoted. It can even be said that if you want to be an official in Da'ei, you must first become an official.

Therefore, Nanjing University should have been established by the imperial court to train officials and scientific talents. "

"That's it." Zheng Sen suddenly understood.

He originally thought he knew a lot about Damei, but now he discovered that there were still many areas where his knowledge was lacking.

While talking, several people came to the main entrance of the school.

There were several tables on the side, and a few people who looked like masters were sitting behind the tables. Behind them was a red banner that read, "Welcome new students, please sign up here."

Both Wang Fuzhi and Zheng Sen had met Wei Jun, and felt that such a straightforward and concise style was somewhat similar to Wei Jun's, and was completely different from the style of the academy and school they knew.

But when they thought about the three months of military training that this university would provide, they felt relieved - maybe the imperial court opened this university for the purpose of training generals?

Next, the two signed up and each received a "Freshman Guidance Manual."

Moreover, the two of them were assigned a dormitory by fate, so they headed to the dormitory together.

The dormitory is a very ordinary courtyard in this spacious mansion, with three main rooms and four wing rooms.

After the leading teacher brought them in, he pointed to the wing with the number "53" and said, "That is your dormitory."

Zheng Sen was slightly surprised when he saw it.

When he signed up, he knew that four people would share a dormitory. He originally thought that this courtyard was one dormitory, but he did not expect that this dormitory was actually one room.

And this wing doesn't look too big, how can four people sleep there?

Before he could speak, the book boy next to him complained, "How can four people sleep in such a small room? But four people can sleep in the main room here? That's not fair!"

"Azhe, please don't be rude!" Zheng Sen feigned displeasure and scolded the boy.

The teacher who led them over was not angry at the boy's words, but explained: "The main room is more spacious, but eight people share a dormitory. The university just opened this year, and it has admitted another 800 people, but the conditions are worse. . But you are here to learn, not to enjoy, so why should you care too much about accommodation conditions?

Furthermore, it is only required to live on campus during the military training. If you can't stand it, you can just move out after the military training. "

At this time, Wang Fuzhi had already looked inside the wing room. When he came out, he said with a smile: "Brother Zheng, the beds inside are divided into upper and lower levels, and there are tables and chairs. It's not too crowded."

One of the royal wives had already known from his clothes that Zheng Sen must come from a wealthy family, and he understood why Zheng Sen could not accept four people sleeping together.

Not to mention Zheng Sen, even he would like to live alone in a house or even a small courtyard if possible.

But as the teacher said, Nanjing University is recruiting 800 students this year, and it is impossible for every student to live in a single room.

After hearing this, Zheng Sen went in and took a look, and found that it was exactly as Wang Euzhi said. There were two beds on the upper and lower floors, and two desks against the wall. It was not as cramped as he had imagined.

Moreover, Zheng Sen used to sleep alone in a large room, but now it was a novel experience to be able to live with three other people in such a small place.

So he walked out, preparing to say goodbye to the teacher who was leading the way, and then to call the boy to make the bed.

But he saw the leading teacher smiling at him and saying: "If any of you don't know how to make the bed and fold the quilt, you should learn it while the servants are here. Because during the military training, the dormitory must be checked every day. If the quilt is not folded properly, you must Points will be deducted and you will be punished.”

Zheng Sen was slightly embarrassed.

It is true that he does not know how to make the bed and fold the quilt, but as a scholar, it should be normal for him not to be able to do this, right?

The talkative book boy next to him couldn't help it anymore and said: "Our young master is here to study, not to learn how to fold quilts..."

"Shut up!" This time, Zheng Sen stopped shouting before the book boy could finish speaking.

He is not stupid. After learning about the various rules of the university that are very different from the outside world, he can naturally think that these rules may be a way for the university to train students.

Besides, as long as these rules are applied equally and others can learn to make their beds and fold their quilts, why can't he, Zheng Sen?

In fact, Wang Fuzhi had already gone in to make the bed at this time.

Although the Wang family can be considered a small landowner, before making the bed at home, there is the mother and then the wife, so it is not his turn to make the bed, but he does know how to do it after all...

The admission period lasted for three days, so Wang Fuzhi and Zheng Sen waited until the next day for their other two classmates.

Both are from Zhejiang. One is from Kuaiji, the same age as Zheng Sen. He is nineteen years old and his name is Yao Qisheng.

The other is a native of Yinxian County. He is twenty-four years old and his name is Zhang Huangyan.

Although he met Wang Fuzhi first, after getting familiar with each other, Zheng Sen became more friendly with Zhang Huangyan and Yao Qisheng.

Because Yao Qisheng, like Zheng Sen, was specially recruited, he was the same age as him, and he was quite heroic, which reminded Zheng Sen of those sailors of the Zheng family who traveled to sea all year round.

As for Zhang Huangyan, he passed the Zhejiang Provincial Examination last year and actually took the Nanjing University admissions exam and passed the exam.

On the fifth day of September, Zheng Sen and others began military training.

Military training instructors are all military and political officers from the Imperial Guard, and they have both sufficient military literacy and a certain level of culture.

Moreover, Zheng Sen also understood why Nanjing University conducted military training—not to train general officers, as he originally thought. But today's emperor believes that even scholars should have a good body.

Only when you are physically strong can you have sharp ears and eyesight, and can you read and study better.

Zheng Sen also agrees with this.

Coupled with the company of his new friends such as Wang Euzhi, he quickly integrated into the military training life of the university... (End of this chapter)
