Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Because of the coming of the imperial examination, the entire capital has become very lively. Talented people from all over the world are constantly showing off their talents in various parts of the capital. Various activities such as poetry gatherings, cocktail parties, literary gatherings, etc. are also emerging in endlessly.

    The imperial court is also preparing for this imperial examination. There are too many people coming to take the imperial examination this time. More than 50,000 people have come to the capital to take the examination. To hold such a huge imperial examination, all aspects are needed  Be well prepared.

    Gongyuan, the place where the examination is held.

    At this time, Liu Jin and Wang Shouren, accompanied by Fang Yongliang, Minister of Rites, were inspecting the preparations for the Gongyuan. This was the first time Zhu Houzhao had held an imperial examination since he came to the throne. Zhu Houzhao also paid special attention to this matter. The examiner this time was Cabinet Minister Wang Shouren.  , the level is much higher than before, which also shows how seriously the emperor takes this matter.

    "How come it has been so many years and there is still no change in the Gongyuan? This is not okay. Our Ming Dynasty has developed in all aspects, and the Gongyuan has also made some changes."

    Liu Jin walked around the Gongyuan, constantly inspecting. It was already the second year of Zhengde. When he took the imperial examination, it was still the twelfth year of Hongzhi. Thirty years have passed.

    However, apart from the fact that the scale of the Gongyuan has become larger, all other aspects have remained the same as before. The examination seats are still cramped and cramped, and it is okay to sit in them. However, if you want to sleep in them, you will not be able to stretch out at all.

    Also, the sanitary conditions here in Gongyuan are still the same as they were decades ago. The exam seats near the toilets are still smelly. Anyone who is unlucky enough to get a bad number will lose more than half of their combat effectiveness during the exam.

    Seeing this, Liu Jin was quite dissatisfied.

    It can be seen from the small Gongyuan that the progress of ancient society was extremely weak. Over the past few decades, earth-shaking changes have taken place in the Ming Dynasty, but here, it is still so simple and without any changes.  .

    "Mr. Liu, this place for scientific research has always been like this. It wouldn't be good if it were to be changed easily, right?"

    When Fang Yongliang heard this, he thought about it and said.

    "What's wrong?"

    "This candidate has studied hard for decades just to stand out one day, but how can he take the exam well in such an environment?"

    "Seize the time to make rectifications, such as installing electric lights. It was already winter during the exam, it was getting late and early, and it was difficult to see clearly. The brightness of candles is limited, and it is not safe and convenient. I just replaced them all with electric lights, which are brighter and more efficient."  Safe and convenient.¡±

    "The hut needs to be renovated. It needs to be flushed with running water and a sewage system should be built to prevent the stench from spreading to the sky and affecting the candidates. In addition, a boiling water room should be added in the examination room so that candidates can drink boiled water during the examination. Drinking cold water in winter will cause diarrhea.  , affecting the exam.¡±

    ¡°In addition, there are a very large number of people taking the exam this time. More than 50,000 people came to the capital to take the exam. The relevant preparations must be prepared and not messed up.¡±

    Liu Jin looked around and said.

    "yes!"

    When Fang Yongliang heard this, he nodded quickly.

    As long as Liu Jin opens his mouth, it will be easy to handle. Anyway, the court now has money. This money is spent on the imperial examination, and everyone has nothing to say. Besides, if this is improved, students who take the imperial examination will be more praised in the future.  word.

    "This condition is indeed too crude."

    Wang Shouren smiled and sighed: "I think we also walked out of here back then. The exam lasted a few days. It was really difficult."

    "Now times have changed, and some things really need to change."

    Wang Shouren was also filled with emotions. When he took the scientific examination, he was still a young man under 30 years old. Thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye, and he will soon be in his 60s.

    What was once a scholar has now become a powerful cabinet minister. Time flies too fast.

    Thinking back on how hard it was for me to survive a few days in this small examination room, it was really not easy to think about it.

    "Yes, I will make rectifications carefully."

    Fang Yongliang also said quickly.

    "Old Wang, time flies so fast. When you and I were at the same time, thirty years have passed. Time is not forgiving!"

    Liu Jin smiled and recalled with Wang Shouren how they took the imperial examination together.

    "Yes, it has been thirty years, but I still remember it fresh. I was taking the exam in No. C 23, the same booth."

    &nbspIt includes history, geography, physics, chemistry and other contents, and improves the status of this new subject in the exam.  "

    Liu Jin thought for a while and suggested again.

    Now, Liu Jin feels that it is time to reform the content of the traditional imperial examination. Rote memorization and out-of-context imperial examinations will only constrain people's thinking, constrain the imagination and creativity of talented people, and are detrimental to the progress of society.  and development are useless.

    It is necessary to add content to the new learning, so that the new learning can gradually replace the old learning and become the mainstream of the Ming Dynasty. Only in this way can the progress and development of the Ming Dynasty be truly promoted.

    With the development of New Learning to this point, it cannot always stay outside the center of power. In the long run, it will inevitably produce huge problems and contradictions. The final result may be bourgeois revolution and the overthrow of everything old.

    Of course, in Liu Jin¡¯s view, the most important thing is to emancipate the mind. Only in this way can we truly promote the scientific and technological progress and social progress of the Ming Dynasty, and establish the foundation for the Ming Empire to be invincible in the world.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
