Chapter 949
Neither the crown prince nor the elder brother spoke, because they also needed the support of the courtiers. Since these courtiers were against it, it was not appropriate for them to help Lao Qi rashly.

However, they also wanted to see how Lao Qi would deal with the opposition of these ministers.

Shen Bingzhu calmed down and listened carefully to the objections of these ministers. After all, it was nothing more than a breach of etiquette.

Seeing this, the fourth elder brother was a little relieved, and couldn't bear other people's objections, so he said, "Seventh brother, since you proposed the Institute of Technology, what's your opinion?"

The fourth elder brother understands that every big move of the seventh brother can have a huge impact on Daqing, and it is also beneficial.

At this time, everyone's eyes were on Seventh Brother.

Kangxi also looked at Seventh Brother with burning eyes, hoping that Seventh Brother would have a valid reason to convince these courtiers.

Shen Bingzhu smiled lightly, with a calm expression and a confident mind, "The classics and history collections are classics left by countless ancestors. They alert the world, encourage learning, and use them to govern the country. Our ancestors told us that when the general rule changes, it becomes clear.

Looking back at history, the method of selecting talents has also been constantly changing, from the recommendation system to the imperial examination system. Ordinary people, as long as they read books, can often become scholar-bureaucrats and provide more and more talents for the whole society.

Besides, the content of the imperial examination system not only includes a subset of classics and history, but officials need to write official documents, so there is an extra subject in the exam, which is specially used to assess the writing of various official documents; There is another subject of arithmetic; an official must not know how to judge a case, so there is another test paper for the law...
These test subjects are not perfected at one time, but in the process of social development, the superiors and rulers find that some subjects need to be added to meet the needs of reality.

It is unfair to these workers that we now enjoy the convenience of primary industrialization without being willing to acknowledge the role of those who made these contributions.

In addition, some people are good at science and engineering, and they also specialize in technology.Therefore, during the imperial examination, arts and sciences can be set up.Such changes are to adapt to development, not static.

You adults are all elites, you should understand my words.You can't completely deny it from your own selfishness, and deny the development of society brought about by the convenient knowledge of science and engineering.

If you oppose it now, you may achieve temporary success, but the society continues to develop, and you don't want to become a stumbling block to history in the eyes of future generations, right? "

Indeed, as Shen Bingzhu said, they can all see that Gewuzhi's social development has spread to every convenience.

The reason why they oppose is also because they want to keep the benefits they have already obtained.

Everyone was silent, they didn't want to be described as old antiques that hinder social development.Such a reputation is too ugly.

The elder brother, the prince, the fourth elder brother, the fifth elder brother, the eighth elder brother, the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother were all shocked by Shen Bingzhu's words.

A lotus blossom on the tongue is nothing more than that!
Kangxi nodded, "Prince Chun made some sense. The society is constantly developing, and the lower levels have undergone drastic changes. The upper-level rulers and managers should also change their policies according to the changes.

Minister of Rites, next year's imperial examination will add a subject, which will include science, including mathematics. Of course, the mathematics in these are more difficult than traditional examinations, such as gewuzhi, chemistry, species and so on.You can study with Prince Chun about the specific exams, and you must select qualified science talents. "

"Yes, Long Live Lord." The Minister of Rites replied, although they still wanted to resist, but they really felt that the progress of science and technology was changing their lives, and they couldn't deny it.

Seeing that these ministers had surrendered and accepted, Shen Bingzhu was a little relieved, and then he started to build the Institute of Technology.

In the city, it was obviously not suitable, so a large piece of land was directly marked out on the saline-alkali land and barren land outside the city, and several mountains were also enclosed.

As for the construction of the railway, after a few days of debate in the court, it was also decided.

After these years of study, Elder Brother Ten has achieved very good results in mathematics, but this kind of knowledge is of no use in the court, and he has only done odd jobs these years, and has not done anything serious.

Now the construction of the Polytechnic Institute is in the arms of Brother Ten.

So after going down to court, the tenth elder brother took the ninth elder brother to prepare a generous gift in a hurry.

Brother Nine asked: "Brother Ten, what are you going to do with such a generous gift? Is it necessary to give such a heavy gift if it is not a festival?"

Elder Brother Ten shook his head, "It's true that it's not a festival, but I want to give it to Brother Seven now, and let Brother Seven arrange a good job for me."

Brother Nine was taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood, "Do you want to show off what you have learned in the Polytechnic Institute?"

Elder Brother Shi nodded, "Yes, anyway, I don't have a good job in the court, and there is a fourth brother in the household department, I don't want to get involved, lest the credit be lost, and I will not be able to get out if I get all dressed up.

But Seventh Brother's Institute of Technology doesn't have so many taboos. I can help Seventh Brother supervise the construction of the Institute of Technology, and then I can be a teacher.It can be tiring, but it's safe and I enjoy doing it. "

Brother Nine thought for a while, "Okay, let's do it. At that time, Brother Seven will be the dean, and you will be the deputy dean, and you will be very prestigious. By the way, I heard that Brother Seven will start to build the railway, probably in the academy. You don’t have much energy, as long as you tell Seventh Brother that you are willing to do something, even if you don’t give gifts, he is willing.”

Elder Brother Ten looked at the gift that was already prepared in his hand, "Forget it, since it's already prepared, let's give it to Brother Seven!"

They came to Prince Chun's mansion together.

Because they knew that Seventh Brother would come home on time after finishing his work outside, and he would never go out to socialize, no matter who invited him.

The euphemistic name is to go home to accompany the pregnant wife and children.

So come to the house and look for Seventh Brother, you can definitely find it.

As expected by the ninth and tenth elder brothers, Shen Bingzhu was indeed at home.

Seeing the old ten and the old nine holding the gift, Shen Bingzhu was surprised, took a sip of tea, and asked, "Why did you two suddenly give me a gift?"

Brother Nine smiled and said, "Of course I want something!"

Shen Bingzhu raised her eyebrows, "What is it? If I can do it, I will do my best."

Elder Brother Shi smiled and said, "Brother Seven, you also know that when I was incapable of writing or martial arts, it was with the encouragement of you and Sister-in-law Seven that I discovered that I still had some talent in mathematics, so I worked hard to learn mathematics. Academy, I also want to find something to do in it!"

Hearing this, Shen Bingzhu was taken aback, "Do you really want to make a big splash in the Polytechnic Institute?"
