Chapter 1253 Science Heading a Ball

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Last autumn, a total of 86 candidates passed the imperial examination at Yufeng Academy, and 20 candidates passed the examination at Xiangshan Academy.

    Coupled with the thirty -six people who were previously held, a total of 142 scientific disciples were qualified for the test.

    "But there were five people including Jiao Hong who had to give up the exam due to the sudden death of their parents and grandparents at home. They were mourning and did not go to Beijing Such a high rate of failure is not a problem with the feng shui of the science school, but a normal phenomenon.

    People in this era have a short life expectancy. By the time their children and grandchildren reach high school, they are already very old.  Children and grandchildren who are overjoyed after passing the exam, feast for days, and drink excessively will naturally become extremely happy and sad.

    Therefore, 137 disciples finally participated in the examination, accounting for 7.2% of the total number of candidates.

    The admission rate for the Longqing Five-Year Examination this time is 21%, which means one Jinshi will be selected out of five candidates.

    But the science disciples got an admission rate of 59.1%, with three out of five candidates getting Jinshi

    Such a terrifying admission rate completely proves that science is the study of imperial examinations. Even if it is not designed specifically for the imperial examinations, it can definitely improve the imperial examination results significantly.  Now no matter how Mr. Zhao explains that their science has nothing to do with the imperial examination, no one will believe it

    Of course, the flow of information in this era is slow. Unlike in later generations, there will be experts on the day the rankings are released, and they will wipe out the three generations of science.

    With Zhao Hao deliberately keeping a low profile, the terrifying admission rate of science disciples was only noticed half a year later.  Then Xiangshan Academy and Yufeng Academy were passed through by scholars seeking education

    Therefore, Xiangshan Academy at this time still maintains the tranquility of the past.

    In the academy, the eighty-one Chinese-style candidates had no time to celebrate, so they ushered in the long-awaited ultimate special training, making final preparations for the palace examination on the 15th of next month!

    And Teacher Zhao will personally serve as the speaker of the ultimate special training as promised!

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? As soon as I think that I am finally qualified to be taught by a teacher in person, I cannot help but burst into tears of excitement.

    It¡¯s not that the senior brothers teach poorly, but as disciples, they have never been qualified to listen to the master¡¯s teachings, which makes them always clearly and painfully aware that they are just insignificant nominal disciples nominal disciples, not real disciples.  At least a disciple who would not be taken seriously by the teacher!

    Now, they have finally passed the Jinshi examination and can become formal disciples and listen to the teacher's teachings with their own ears.  Is there anything happier than this in the world?  there is none left!

    Mr. Zhao will never admit that he is being a rogue

    ??~~

    ??Although the Fragrant Mountain in spring is not as red as in late autumn, the flowers are everywhere in colorful purples and reds, which is equally dazzling.

    Because Xiangshan is a royal property, logging of trees is prohibited and the beautiful forest-like environment can be maintained.  On both sides of the mountain road leading to Xiangshan Academy, towering trees block out the sun.  Dappled sunlight shines through the dense foliage and onto the unknown wild flowers along the road.  The gentle breeze stirs the green leaves and makes a soft rustling sound, and the faint sound of gurgling streams makes pedestrians feel more happy.

    Mr. Zhao got off the car at the foot of the mountain and chatted happily with Yu Youding, Wang Wuyang and others who came to greet him. They walked slowly along the stone steps to the gate of the academy.

    We are all old acquaintances, and the only one worth mentioning is Yu Youding.  His nickname was Tonglu, and he was a top student in the same department of Shen Shixing. They had been together in the Hanlin Academy for many years, and had a close personal relationship with King Shen.  Moreover, he is from Ningbo, Zhejiang. Ningbo has always wanted to join the Jiangnan integration and does not want to be marginalized.

    At that time, although Mr. Zhao created the Jiangnan Economic Mutual Aid Association, he added Ningshaotai, Huichiguang and other state capitals to it.  But this kind of peripheral organization is obviously just doing things.  One year later, as expected, all industries in the ten prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River were prosperous, and the market was booming. Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce all benefited a lot.  The entire integrated area is like a magnet, firmly attracting people and money from surrounding areas, flowing rapidly to the ten prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River.

    And those peripheral state capitals can also drink soup to offset the outflow of population and wealth, but it is absolutely impossible to keep up with the changes in the ten prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River.

    People in places like Shaoxing, Taizhou, and Huizhou think this is not bad.  But Ningbo is in pain.

    Because Ningbo originally had a shipping department, it was the center of Ming Dynasty¡¯s foreign trade and one of the most prosperous trading cities.  But after the tribute incident that year, the imperial court closed the Shipping Department.  Later, the international trade center built by Wang Zhi in Shuangyu was destroyed.

    After these two heavy blows, Ningbo's vitality was severely damaged, and it was the target of Japanese pirates' looting As a result, the rich in Ningbo went north to the provincial capital, Suzhou and even Jinling to escape disaster.  Businessmen went south to Fujian and Guangdong to continue smuggling.  Ningbo was completely devastated and finally withdrew from the ranks of first-tier cities in the Ming Dynasty.  Even after so many years of quelling the Japanese invasion, there has been no improvement at all.

    &nbrotation.  But in order to achieve the observation effect, it must be built large enough.

    The long pendulum is twenty feet long and the pendulum weighs fifty-six pounds.  The connection between the beam and the pendulum on the beam at the top of the suspension tower is specially designed to minimize friction.

    This kind of pendulum has large inertia and momentum, so it is basically not affected by the rotation of the earth and swings on its own, and the swing time is very long.

    There is an iron pen cast at the bottom of the pendulum, and each swing will leave a scratch on the white sand table spread out underneath.

    According to people¡¯s experience, the pendulum should always swing back and forth on a flat surface, so it will leave only a scratch on the sand table.

    But observing its actual swing trajectory, people will find that every time the pendulum swings, it will deviate slightly from the original trajectory and rotate.

    And at different latitudes, the rotation period is different.  For example, in Beijing, the pendulum moves clockwise, with a 30-hour cycle.

    The farther south you go, the smaller the rotation amplitude and the longer the period. Obvious differences can be observed in Nanjing and Guangzhou.  If you build a Foucault pendulum on the equator, it will not rotate.  If one is built in the southern hemisphere in the future, the rotation will become counterclockwise, thus proving simply and clearly that the earth is rotating around its axis.

    However, currently only Yufeng Academy has another Foucault pendulum.  When the disciples from Kunshan discovered that the rotation period of Foucault's pendulum of exactly the same size in Beijing was shortened by eighteen hours, it was completely consistent with the result calculated using the formula in the book.  This has convinced the disciples that the earth is a sphere rotating around its axis.

    Because those who still don¡¯t believe it will be expelled (Remember this website¡¯s website address: www.hlnovel.com
