Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 2174, this is the requirement of the times
"Sell the newspaper! Sell the newspaper!"

"The reform of the imperial examination, the reform of the imperial examination, and the addition of new study-related examination subjects and content."

"The imperial examination introduces a score system, and the old content and the new content account for a seven-to-three ratio. From then on, the imperial examination will also read new knowledge."

"Sell the newspaper! Sell the newspaper!"

"A big change in the imperial examination!"

"The imperial court refurbished the tribute courtyard, added electric lights, boiling water rooms, and improved the huts. From then on, there will be no more stinky names!"

With the yelling of newsboys, a new day in the capital begins, and as the imperial examinations are approaching, at this time, the imperial court suddenly carried out major reforms on the imperial examinations. Suddenly, the entire Ming Dynasty was discussing this matter .

There are a large number of scholars staying here in the Royal Hotel in Beijing. Every day, many scholars here recite poems, discuss the world, and give advice.

This is the center of every imperial examination. In the past, every time the imperial examination was held, many people went to high school. When the rankings were announced, this place was very lively, and a large number of people came here to make money.

"Big news! Big news!"

"The imperial court has made major changes to the imperial examination!"

"Not only do we have to test the content related to new learning, but we also implement a score system. The content of our Four Books and Five Classics only accounts for [-]%, and the remaining [-]% is all related to new learning."

A scholar hurried to the middle of a group of people with a newspaper and shouted loudly.

"what?"

"Do you want to test the new content?"

"Is there still a point system?"

As soon as the others heard it, they immediately exploded, which is not bad. Those who read the books of sages have always been extremely despising of new learning, thinking that new learning is heresy, and it is not in the mainstream.

There have been many conflicts between the new school and the old school for this reason, and it has been a long time since they can't understand each other.

However, the content of the new learning is now required to be tested in the imperial examination, accounting for [-]%, which makes these students of the old learning dumbfounded.

"No reason!"

"How can I, who read the books of sages and sages, learn those heresy and third-rate things, and they are also included in the imperial examination!"

"Isn't that degrading?"

"Yeah, this is really a ridiculous joke that makes people laugh out loud. How can we, disciples of saints, learn those miscellaneous things?"

"There is also this point system, how can it be truly fair? Convince the world?"

"That's right, there will be a large number of people with the same score in the college entrance examination every year in Xinxue. If this imperial examination appears, how can it be fair and just?"

"This is simply nonsense. How can we wait for the disciples of the saints to join hands?"

When the scholars present heard this, they immediately burst into flames.

Everyone seemed to be filled with righteous indignation, and they were very opposed to it. Some even expressed their opposition extremely strongly, saying that they would give up the exam at the beginning.

"Everyone, the newspaper is here, the newspaper is here, everyone, please read it carefully!"

At this time, someone came with a lot of newspapers, and immediately everyone hurried over, one by one, and quickly read the newspapers.

After carefully reading the reform this time, each of them began to think again.

"The imperial court still took great care of us scholars. Considering the coldness of the exams in winter, we specially added a boiling water room and installed electric lights in all of them. In addition, we also remodeled the latrines, so there will be no more stinky names in the future."

"This is indeed a grace to us scholars."

"However, the reform of the imperial examination has had a great impact on us. Let's take a look at the content of this new exam. Mathematics, geography, physics, chemistry, etc. are all required to be tested. There will be too much to learn in the future. "

"Besides, there are only two months before the exam. Even if we study hard from scratch now, I'm afraid it will be too late."

"Yeah, even if it is to be changed, it will have to be changed in the next imperial examination. In this case, we still have time to study."

"This point system cannot be said to be bad. In fact, relatively speaking, this point system may be fairer. In the past, the imperial examination papers were marked by the personal preferences of the examiners. Now the point system is implemented, especially for the new content. , all have standard answers, and the influence of the examiner's personal preferences will be greatly reduced."

"That's not bad!"

"The content of the new exams all have standard answers. One is one, yes is right. There is no influence of personal preference. In the past imperial examinations, when we wrote articles, we had to answer questions according to the examiner's preferences."

"Sometimes, no matter how good the answer is, if it doesn't meet the examiner's preferences, it will still fail."

"From this point of view, new learning is relatively better. If the point system is introduced, it can't be said to be a completely bad thing."

"The emperor said that it is because the current Ming Dynasty is changing rapidly and undergoing earth-shaking changes. This puts forward more and higher requirements for the officials of the court. The most important thing is to adapt to this new era of rapid development and change."

"The emperor's scholars are all the disciples of the emperor, the pillars of the country in the future, and the cornerstone of the court. It is very important to read the books of sages, but it is also necessary to keep learning with the development of the times, to have a wider range of knowledge, to know more things , know more, only in this way can we adapt to this new era, and in the future we will be able to better guard the side of the emperor and seek the well-being of the people of Liming in the world."

"The introduction of the content of the new learning is not to deny the learning of the saints, but to have higher requirements for the disciples of the saints. This is the requirement of the times, and it is also an inevitability to adapt to the development of the times."

Everyone read all the contents of the newspaper. When they saw the summary and comments at the end, many readers were speechless.

To be honest, is this newly learned content really useless?Is it really heresy?
No, we live in this era, and we can most feel the tremendous changes brought about by the new learning in this era. The cars and trains we take when we go out, the lights and telephones installed in our homes, no matter in all aspects, our basic necessities of life, food, housing and transportation are all affected by the new learning. huge impact.

Huge changes are taking place. People's lives are becoming more and more affluent, and travel is becoming more convenient and faster. All aspects are inseparable from the development of new learning.

From the princes in the court of the emperor to the common people in Liming, everyone supports the development of the new learning and affirms the great role and benefits brought by the new learning.

Although he despises new learning, he has to admit that the reason why Ming Dynasty can be strong and prosperous today is inseparable from new learning.

In this ever-changing new era, all kinds of new things are emerging one after another. The electric light invented yesterday has just begun to disperse the night. Today, the telephone has entered thousands of households, and you can talk to your family even if you are far away. , Telling about four years of love.

In the future, there will inevitably be more changes and more new things will appear. If you do not adapt to the development of this new era, it may be really difficult to say that you can manage one side well.

"Everyone, hurry up and learn the new content, sharpen your guns before the battle, and you will be happy if you are unhappy."

"Yes, yes, there are still two months to go. This sudden change may not necessarily be a bad thing. Many people who have lost their names in the past are very likely to be named on the gold list this time."

"Since it is the requirement of the emperor and the times, I and other scholars should learn and study hard, so that I can be more loyal to the emperor and manage the people of Liming well for the emperor."

"That's right, Daming is indeed developing very fast now. If you don't learn some things, you really don't know anything."

"As mentioned above, this time the imperial examination will not test new content that is too difficult, but will only test some basic content, so if you study hard now, it will still be very useful."

"This new learning content accounts for [-]% of the mark."

"Let's go, let's go, who wants to buy some new books to study hard?"

"Brother Li, let's go, let's go together."

"I'm going too, I'm going too."

Many scholars are also in a hurry to buy some new books, planning to study hard while there are still two months left, and sharpen their guns before the battle.

This sudden change in the imperial examinations is a bit uncomfortable for many people, but for those who have repeatedly failed in the past, they see the hope and opportunity of high school this time.

The new learning content, if you can study it well and seize the opportunity, maybe you will be able to pass high school this time, because this time, everyone has not learned the new learning and is at the same starting point.

There are even some people who have learned some new learning content by themselves in normal times, and each of these people can't help but secretly laugh in their hearts.

I usually go to read some new books when I have nothing to do. I didn’t expect such a good thing, and I can still use it during the imperial examination. This feeling is good.

I have inherent advantages over others, as long as the questions I ask this time are not too difficult, I might be able to pass high school by then.

Of course, there are still many die-hard new students who are extremely unconvinced. They feel that this is a mess. The imperial examination is related to the foundation of the imperial court and the country's talent selection. If it is said to be changed, it will be changed, and it is still two months before the imperial examination. Change, this is not child's play.

These students are extremely dissatisfied, and they don't even want to, they don't bother to learn new content. They clamored to unite together, threatened to cancel the exam, and even planned to unite together to go to Donghuamen to write a letter to the emperor, demanding that the emperor cancel this reform.

For these traditional scholars, any changes are unacceptable. The sage book is the best theory, and there is no need to learn other things and content at all.

Now to change the content of the imperial examination at will, this is chaos, which will lead to turmoil in the country and the country, and shake the foundation of the country.
