Zhengxue Academy, No. 1 College in Ninghai, Zhejiang.

The people of Ninghai County are proud to study in the Zhengxue Academy, which has more than 800 disciples. On the other hand, the academy in Ninghai County is somewhat lifeless, with less than 200 disciples.

Fang Xiaoru had an extraordinary reputation. As one of the few great Confucian scholars in the Ming Dynasty, his influence was not comparable to that of local county schools. The people here don't care about the propaganda of the county school or what the Zhengxue Academy teaches. As long as they can send their children to the Zhengxue Academy, it is a glorious thing.

Being able to study under a great Confucian scholar is no better than going to a county school to study. Are there any famous Confucians in your county school? If not, don't harm my child. He will become someone like Fang Xiaoru in the future.

Taizhou Prefecture, Linhai Prefecture.

In the second hall, He Wenyuan opened the letter and looked at Juanxiu's words, with a strong smile on his lips.

Ye Jinguang and Xie Tingxun saw this scene and looked at each other. Xie Tingxun joked: "I guess it was Professor Ye who wrote the love story again, which made Governor He so happy."

Ye Jinguang clapped his hands and said, "It's a shame that these two beauties are a match made in heaven, but they live in two different places."

He Wenyuan carefully folded the letter and looked at Ye Jinguang and Xie Tingxun: "Those who work for the country cannot have so many loving children. Ling'er wrote to say that she has led a team to the Imperial College in Peking and will serve as the director of the Confucian Academy of the Imperial College in Peking. Vice-President, President Dong originally wanted to retire, but the Emperor came forward to retain him."

Ye Jinguang couldn't help but sigh: "Ye Ling'er can be regarded as a hero among girls. He single-handedly made the Yongjia School take root in the Imperial College. I heard that many people in the Imperial College admired the practice and investigation of the Yongjia School, and the Craftsman College even wrote about practice. Entered into academy training."

Xie Tingxun nodded heavily.

Who would have thought that a humble little girl back then would step by step become the vice-president of the Confucian Academy of the Imperial Academy of the Ming Dynasty! This is related to her family education, her own life teaching, and even more to the enlightened Emperor Jianwen.

Xie Tingxun thought of something and asked: "There is news that the scale of the Imperial College in Peking is extremely large, but there is also news that the scale of the Imperial College in Peking is not large. Why is this?"

He Wenyuan put the letter into his arms, patted it gently with his hand, and said with a smile: "The size of the Imperial College in Peking is not huge, and the land it occupies is almost the same as that of the Imperial College in Nanjing. It's just that the Imperial College in Peking used a lot of concrete technology, and it was built more It is a three-story building. One building can accommodate all the disciples of a certain academy."

"Teaching buildings, accommodation buildings, academic buildings, Cuju courts, etc. are standard facilities. Different colleges have different dedicated buildings. For example, the Confucian College has a library. The collection of books there is currently less than 30,000, and it is still being collected. According to Ling'er, they want to build the largest and most complete library in the Ming Dynasty, covering all the classics in the world."

"There is also the Craftsman Academy. They have some confidential materials and documents that need to be stored underground. It seems that a lot of underground houses have been dug down there, specifically for the latest and most secret research. By the way, the Imperial College is newly released The School of Chemistry, I think it will be allocated a lot of basements."

Ye Jinguang and Xie Tingxun understood that although the Imperial College in Peiping did not occupy a large area, they had taken up a lot of space both upward and downward.

Xie Tingxun sighed: "When can we visit the Imperial Academy in Peking?"

Ye Jinguang also yearns for it.

The Imperial College in Peking will lead the future culture of the Ming Dynasty. It is the place where various cultures collide most intensely. It is very tolerant of all kinds of ideas and theories, and can be regarded as a true openness to all rivers. The most important thing is that the Peking Imperial Academy will rely on the court's continuous financial support to promote the transformation of various ideas into practical results.

As long as you have an idea, find like-minded people, and get approval from the college and the Imperial College will give you money, just go for it.

If you lose, all your money is ruined. It doesn’t matter. We won’t hold you responsible, and it won’t affect your next application for funds. As long as the college thinks your research is promising, possible, and promising, it will strongly support it.

This confidence and strong support for tolerating failure have created astonishing knowledge, one of which is the theory of a round earth. In order to verify this statement, the entire Imperial Academy Navigation Academy will go to sea.

Zhang Mo walked in, holding a document in his hand: "Don't discuss matters about the Imperial College.

Yes, there is a problem now. Take a look. "

He Wenyuan took the document, opened it, and frowned slightly: "Sixty disciples of Zhengxue Academy will be promoted to the Imperial Academy in Peking! Where did this news come from?"

Zhang Mo sat down and picked up the tea bowl: "Where else could it be? It was naturally handed over by Ninghai County Academy. After the big debate between Fu Xue and Zhengxue Academy, he stayed quiet for a few years, focusing on learning and had no desire to He planned to enter the Imperial College and have an official career. But who would have thought that this year he not only planned to take the imperial examination and target the Imperial College in Peking, but he also made such a high-profile statement that he would definitely enter the Imperial College in Peking."

Xie Tingxun was a little confused: "Fang Xiaoru is a great scholar, why did he change his attitude?"

He Wenyuan pondered for a moment and shook his head: "Everyone who is engaged in learning also needs to let learning gain a foothold. The number of disciples in Zhengxue Academy has increased from 300 to 800, but no one has entered the official career. This is a blow to its reputation, and it is not good for the people. It’s a good thing. People’s families not only want their children to learn knowledge, but from the bottom of their hearts they also want their children to succeed in their studies, get an official position, and jump out from the bottom.”

"Under such circumstances, even if Fang Xiaoru no longer wanted to participate in the imperial examination, he had to take it due to pressure. An academy without the possibility of promotion cannot last long. What's more, most of the disciples there come out, people who are full of benevolence, justice and morality. They are not happy with the people, the businessmen look down on them, and the yamen don’t like such old-school people, and they can’t get rid of them despite their efforts..."

There was no other way out but to change his identity through the Imperial College.

Ye Jinguang agreed with He Wenyuan's analysis and said: "It is not difficult to understand that Zhengxue Academy participates in the examination. But the problem is that Fang Xiaoru will not be so domineering and arrogant. It is not like he can say it if he is promoted to the Imperial Academy of Peking collectively. of."

He Wenyuan put down the documents and said with a smile: "Of course this is not what people from the Zhengxue Academy said. Of the sixty disciples, who can guarantee that not one of them will be selected? The requirements of the Peking Imperial College are not low. Once one person fails, that will It has greatly damaged the prestige of Zhengxue Academy. So these words must not have been said by people from Zhengxue Academy. It must have been deliberately arranged by people from Ninghai County School."

Zhang Mo, Xie Tingxun and others nodded repeatedly.

It is possible. You must know that Ninghai County School and Zhengxue Academy are in the same county, and the competition for students is fierce. However, every year, the local county school is not as good as Zhengxue Academy. The number of students in Ninghai County increases year by year, but the number of students in the county increases. Decrease every year.

With such an unbalanced mentality, it is not impossible to spread rumors and slander...
