Baidu otaku as Chongzhen

Chapter 156

Listening to Xu Guangqi's explanation of the Ming Dynasty version of "education industrialization", Yang Huaihe's lips dripped all over the floor. This mouthful of fat is not ordinary fat. If it can return to the previous years, 7000 people will learn , The rice that can be transported can be as high as 700 million shi, and the value is more than 1000 million taels.

This value is far more than glass making and all kinds of golden fingers, and there is no need to fight to the death with the bureaucrats to rob the salt industry controlled by the bureaucrats.The only disadvantage is that the reputation of the Imperial College is too bad now, and few people are willing to study in the Imperial College. Moreover, it is impossible for the country to make official positions for these thousands of people, and most of them have to go back to their hometowns. This cannot be changed. The attraction of the Imperial College It's limited and needs to be improved.

"...Since the Chenghua period, this hole has been unstoppable. It was not until the Zhengde period that the Guozijian really began to overflow. In the Jiajing period, it was out of control. You can go to school if you don’t have money, and even the repelled students from the prefectural, prefecture, and county schools can be donated to the prison. Now, the standard of the Imperial College has dropped seriously..." Xu Guangqi also hated iron when he talked about the history of the Imperial College Steel, thousands of people were enrolled before, and they were able to maintain it, which was considered good. As a result, it suddenly became a bad street during the Jiajing period.The scene of thousands of people studying is completely useless. If the court wants to get money from the Imperial College, there is no way.It was a good way of making money, but it was played as a dead snake.

"Master Sun said that at the beginning, six to seven thousand students were enrolled, which was not bad? The management is still strict, so there is no need to assign jobs to these people? The real excess is still in the Jiajing period. Is it?" Yang Reform's mind is actually still on the issue of job assignment. If no job is assigned, the attractiveness of the Guozijian will be a bit low. Now that Xu Guangqi said it, he feels that there is no problem.People in the past could stand the treatment without job assignment, why can't they accept it now?From the Chenghua year to the Jiajing year, it's been a while!
"It's true that at the beginning, the management was strict, but later, during the Jiajing period, it became excessive all of a sudden. As for the 'allocation of work' that your majesty said, does your majesty know that I have historical rules? Seeing that the emperor didn't understand many things, Xu Guangqi had to teach them slowly, which is also his duty as an emperor teacher.

"Calendar? How do you say this?" Yang Reform's understanding of the Ming Dynasty is that he heard a few words from his history teacher that the Ming Dynasty was dark and that the Ming Dynasty was very decadent. After reading some novels about Ming Dynasty, he got a general understanding. , that's all.They don't know anything about what the real Ming Dynasty was like.

"Lishi means that the students of Guozijian have completed their studies in the classroom, completed six classes, and after they are qualified, they are assigned to various yamen to experience things. As early as Taizu Hongwu's reign, there are generally three months, half a year, It doesn't wait for a year, the main thing is to let these excellent students of the Imperial College understand and be familiar with government affairs, so as to lay the foundation for them to quickly start government affairs in the future. This, also sometimes, fills in the shortage of officials to ease the pressure of government affairs, or large-scale government affairs. For example, Qing Tianmu, Qing Army Project, these things require a lot of manpower, and Guozijian students will be assigned to record the events..." Xu Guangqi said that he explained the origin of this matter very clearly.

History?Isn't this an internship?Damn, who said that people are pedantic?This government affairs internship has been done.Also use people from Guozijian to clear Tianmu and Qingjunmu, this, who is so smart?Come up with a good way to kill multiple birds with one stone?You can do all kinds of things without spending money. Originally, Yang Reform thought that the Ming government's manpower would clean up the fields in the world, and he was very skeptical. What can such a man do well?Now it seems that others are not fools, and they will use this free manpower to do this.

"So, that is to say, Lishi is also an internship? So, it's good governance! Why haven't I heard of it? Also, Master Xu said that Lishi can only be obtained after completing six courses and passing the test. Go to the history? What if you are unqualified? Wouldn’t you not be able to practice?” Yang Reform wondered, how could such a good policy be lost?This is a bit like the current credit system!If you don’t have enough credits, you won’t be allowed to graduate. If you don’t complete the course tomorrow, you won’t be allowed to record your career, let alone graduate.

"Oh... Your Majesty is right. This is good governance. In the early years, it has indeed sent a lot of talents to the court. Many of the ministers, cabinet ministers, and frontier officials are from the Imperial Academy, the imperial examination and the Imperial Academy. They are all from serious backgrounds, but after that, the imperial court did not have so many job assignments, and the Guozijian gradually became stagnant. Coupled with the gradual prosperity of the imperial examination, all the students who originally followed the way of the Guozijian , began to turn to the imperial examination, and the history of the Guozijian gradually fell into disrepair." Xu Guangqi still has a lot of emotion about the abandonment of the Guozijian, as His Majesty said, it is somewhat a good way to relieve financial pressure. Unfortunately, He couldn't continue playing because of his predecessors, and he, Xu Guangqi, couldn't jump out and scold the former emperor, so he could only express a few words with emotion.

"So that's the case, I understand a little bit...Master Xu also talked about how this Guozijian teaches, what courses are there, and if this Guozijian wants to graduate, what experiences do you need to go through?" Yang Reform thought: Sure enough, I guessed it right, there were so few official posts in the Ming Dynasty, a county, a normal official, who received a national salary, but only a few people, the imperial examination can be rounded up, the Imperial College sends hundreds of people every year, How are places allocated?It will definitely decline gradually!From this point of view, I still have to think of a way, maybe to expand the scope of this "national distribution". There is a way out!Otherwise, tens of thousands of students are enrolled every year. Even if the admission is loose and the exit is strict, there may be more than a thousand students who can graduate every year. There are not many positions to be assigned, and it is impossible to attract others to study in the Imperial College.Well, with the addition of the village chief's treatment for the veterans of the new army, the things that the Ming Dynasty can distribute up and down, I guess they are all paid for by myself!Thinking of this, Yang Reform himself was a little dumbfounded.

"This Guozijian is divided into three classes: high school, middle school and junior school. Justice, Chongzhi, and broad industry are the elementary level, Taoism, sincerity is the intermediate level, and straightforwardness is the advanced level. Those who have mastered the four books can enter the elementary class and study for more than one and a half years. If you have a clear understanding of arts and science, you can study in the intermediate class, and sit in the class for another year. If you have both classics and history, and you are excellent in arts and sciences, you can go to the straightforward class. This is the six classes and three classes established by Taizu Hongwu. There are only ten classes in the middle level of Taoism, and there are only ten classes in sincerity, and there are only four classes in this class. If you come out of the class, you have passed all the homework, and you have enough points, you will participate in the calendar, which is March It doesn't wait for a year, and then select the outstanding ones to become officials according to their historical achievements..." Xu Guangqi briefly talked about the process from entering the Imperial College to becoming an official.

"The curriculum of the Guozijian is basically within the scope of the 'Six Arts'. The etiquette, music, mathematics, and policy theory are all within the scope of the teaching. In the end, it is the history." Xu Guangqi thought about what he had said less, and added another sentence .

"Wait, Master Xu, you said that there are eighteen students in this junior class and only four in this advanced class. In other words, the elimination rate is quite high? Basically, most of the people will be eliminated?" Yang Reform discovered, The class setting in the early years of the Ming Dynasty was very famous. Eighteen classes were eliminated into four classes. It is not easy!If I want to open a university town with 4 people, doesn't that mean that at least three to 4 people must be allocated?Yang Reform was also a little scared of this number.This number of people is indeed a bit too much. In the Ming Dynasty, official officials probably only had this number!

"Indeed, Your Majesty, it is necessary to be promoted to the Discipline Hall, relying on points. One exam in Meng Yue, one exam in Zhong Yue, and one exam in Ji Yue. No points, every year, if you accumulate more than eight points, you can be promoted to the willful hall, and those who fail to reach the eighth point will still be in the hall. As your majesty said, there will definitely be quite a lot of people who will be eliminated. Abuse, that’s for sure.” [The first month of a season is called Meng Yue, the second month is called Zhong Yue, and the third month is called Ji Yue. 】

Yang Reform was dizzy, isn't this the later university point system?Why is there a Ming Dynasty?There is still one point, half point, eight points per year to pass, and those who fail will be repeated. Is this the idea of ​​the time traveler?Yang Reform burst into tears. Is this plane a real historical plane?How do you hear these things, they are all so familiar!
Yang Reform is paralyzed. There is nothing new under the sun. You are right. Some people pick up things hundreds of years ago, brush them, clean them, and use them as soon as they come. .Well, this thing is already in line with the international advanced level in the future anyway, so I can use it directly, and I don’t have to bother to come up with a lot of 21st century things.

Yang Reform suddenly felt that traveling to the Ming Dynasty was quite boring. He wanted to give full play to his advantages as a time traveler, do something eye-catching, and do something that created the era, but he did not expect that there were many things in the Ming Dynasty. It has been in line with the international advanced level of the 21st century.I wasted my mind on that.

……

"The Imperial Academy also teaches the 'Six Arts'?" Yang Reform thought that he had just heard from Xu Guangqi that the Imperial Academy also taught the Six Arts.

"Returning to Your Majesty, yes, when you enter the Imperial College, you need to learn Zi, classics, history, and anthology, as well as current affairs, policy theory, etiquette, music, mathematics, and more importantly, historical events. Indispensable, therefore, the old minister told His Majesty earlier that there is no problem at all for His Majesty to promote mathematics in this Imperial College. This Imperial College was originally intended to teach mathematics, but the current Imperial College is not going to be a great climate... "

"..." Yang Reform made a big detour and returned to his original point. He came to Xu Guangqi because he was planning to promote mathematics. As a result, the topic of "education industrialization" was too attractive, and he talked for a long time about this important topic. The founding of the Guozijian reopened the topic of "education industrialization". Now, Xu Guangqi finally brings this topic back to the original point. It is completely feasible to promote mathematics in this Guozijian. What needs to be considered is the current reputation of this Guozijian. The street is smelly, and it is unreliable to rely on him to promote mathematics.

Yang Reform felt ashamed, he was a little bit crooked.
