Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 168 Guanghan Palace Academy of Arts and Sciences
Wen Zhenmeng, Huang Daozhou and others severely humiliated Wu Kongjia and others who took the lead in making trouble, and then bowed their hands to the surroundings, and walked away complacently amidst the applause of the common people.

Their task has been completed, and now, no matter the people around or the students who failed the ranking, they all understand that Wu Kongjia and others just don't have the ability to make the ranking, and they are making trouble here without reason.

The people around had already started booing, and some of them even shook their heads and left after Wen Zhenmeng, Huang Daozhou and others left.

Although they like to watch the excitement, they still have a steelyard in their hearts.

This group of students who failed the ranking made it clear that they were here to make trouble for no reason, disgusting people, they felt disgusting just looking at them.

Even, many students who failed the rankings began to sneak away.

They also understood that Wu Kongjia and the others were using them, and it would be a disaster if they were implicated.

These people are not stupid, they are just being hotheaded and being used by others.

Now that they have all reacted, they will naturally not stay here foolishly and continue to be used by others.

Not long after, there were less than a hundred failed students kneeling in front of the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, and the surrounding people gradually became sparse, and there was no more excitement at the beginning.

Wu Kongjia and the others are riding a tiger right now, because their Grandpa Wei didn't send anyone to make them withdraw!

No way, they dared to make such a fuss because of Grandpa Wei as the big backer. Grandpa Wei didn't say anything at the moment, no matter how shameless they were, no matter how embarrassing they were, they had to bite the bullet and hold on.

They were not the only ones who failed the ranking this time. Nearly 4000 people participated in the general examination. Even if Taichang broke the record and took more than 3000 tributes, there were still more than [-] students left.

What did these more than 3000 people do after they failed the ranking?

Nearly half of the people are ready to go home, because they are here to catch the exam, and they don’t have any other messy ideas. If they pass the exam, it’s good. If they don’t pass the exam, they will continue to work hard next time.

The exams are over, and they didn't pass the exam, so naturally they should go home.

Another 800 people were fooled by Wu Kongjia and others, and they ran to the yamen of the Ministry of Rites with enthusiasm, and they became sober after a while. At this moment, they only had one thought, and that was to go home quickly.

As for the remaining 800 people, they were all determined to serve the country. They had already registered at the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, and they were waiting for the court to arrange errands for them.

So, what errands will Taichang arrange for these people?

This will have to be investigated to be sure.

As for how to investigate, it is very simple. You can almost get a general idea by calling up the answer sheets of these people's meeting and taking a look.

At this moment, the R&D room of Chengguang Palace can be described as very lively, Xu Guangqi, Bi Maokang, Wang Zheng, Song Yingxing and Sun Yuanhua are sitting around the huge drawing table to compete for people.

The so-called snatching people is actually rushing to read the piles of test papers in the middle.

All the students who failed the rankings and applied to the Ministry of Industry, their answer sheets have been moved here, and they are allowed to choose.

They were really excited, because they had wanted to recruit disciples for a long time.

They have too many things to do right now, and they are too busy.

Xu Guangqi, for example, is not just in charge of the Ministry of Industry. He is good at binoculars, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and even guns and artillery. He also wants to help Xu Ji, Bi Maokang, Sun Yuanhua and others, but he has no time!

Another example is Wang Zheng. At the moment, he is in charge of steam engines and ships, even machine tools and waterwheels. He is too busy to split them!

If they do it alone, they don't know how much work will be delayed, so they all want to recruit a bunch of disciples to help.

However, most of the scholars scoff at these things they are good at, and are not interested at all. Usually, it is not easy for them to find a disciple.

It's different now, people from the two capitals and thirteen provinces of Ming Dynasty gathered together, and the seven or eight hundred students who failed the rankings were chosen by them!

These are all students who are determined to serve the country, and there is no benefit in the notice to recruit these people, which basically eliminates the possibility of opportunistic people trying to climb up in this way.

In other words, these are scholars who really want to do something for the country and the people.

As for why they failed the rankings, it must be because something distracted them, such as learning the art of war strategy, or delving into strange Yin skills or something.

In short, these people are all determined to serve the country, and there is no problem with their loyalty. Moreover, they can all pass the provincial examination and become Juren, so there must be no problem with their ability.

The reason why Xu Guangqi and Bi Maokang chose them was to see what other people they were good at besides stereotyped articles in the "Four Books and Five Classics". If they were good at something similar to them, they would naturally accept them without hesitation.

As for how to look at it, it's also very simple. Isn't there a question in the test?

Be prepared for danger in times of peace, and be prepared when you think about it. If you are prepared, what are you prepared for?Call for money, call for food, call for soldiers, call for weapons?However, where are the money and food, and where are the weapons?
They just have to look at the question carefully.

If it was about weapons, then Bi Maokang and Sun Yuanhua were looking for them; if it was about other weapons, then Wang Zheng and Song Yingxing were looking for them; for Xu Guangqi, both were fine.

However, there are really not many scholars like this these days. Most of the scholars who are determined to serve the country will only study the art of war and strategy. There are really very few who really work hard on weapons or even odd Yin skills.

Fortunately, less is less, there is always something. They have been busy for a long time, and they have finished reading the answer sheets of seven or eight hundred people. Everyone has accepted more than ten answer sheets in front of them. These are the disciples they want to recruit. .

As for the rest, it can only be handed over to the emperor.

Where is Taichang now?
Taichang is having a drink with Lu Xiangsheng, Bi Ziyan, Bi Zisu and others on Qionghua Island in the middle of Taiye Pond.

If the eunuchs saw these people, they would be so frightened that they would immediately rebel!

Because these people are the chief officials of the Sixth Ministry of Nanjing and the Metropolitan Procuratorate!
What did the emperor call these people over for?
No need to ask, the emperor is definitely not bored and looking for someone to drink, these people are here to replace them!
In fact, there are more than a few officials from Nanzhili on Qionghua Island at this moment. Lu Xiangsheng, Bi Ziyan and others have also brought over a dozen capable officials under them. These people are all living here at the moment. .

There used to be a Guanghan Palace here, and the area was quite large.

However, during the Jiajing period, there was a fire here, which burned part of the palace, making the entire Guanghan Palace look like a mess.

Jiajing hadn't been here a few times, and the amount of restoration work was a bit large, and Jiajing didn't bother to restore it. Gradually, this place was abandoned.

However, at this moment, Guanghan Palace has been completely restored. Although the original luxury is gone, the area is larger than before, and the most inside are houses, which are row after row. Just like a military camp, it is estimated that it will not be a problem to accommodate thousands of people.

Of course, this place is no longer called Guanghan Palace, but the Academy of Arts and Sciences.

The College of Arts and Sciences, if people of this era can understand it, is an academy for the study of arts and sciences, and at the moment, liberal arts and sciences do not mean liberal arts and science, but literary theory, because there is no such thing as science at the moment .

Taichang, of course, means the gathering of talents from arts and sciences. He just hopes that the talents who come out here in the future will be talents who understand both arts and sciences.
