Chapter 1039 The No. 1 Academy in the World
Jixiatang.
This "Jixia" is not the "Jixia Academy" in Qi State, but the Jixia Hall of the Imperial College. The general form is a hall, which is a place for scholars from the Ming Dynasty to discuss academic research. Scholars from all over the world discuss academic research and conduct academic exchanges. Perhaps they look at problems from different perspectives and solve problems, but they will compete for the long and short-term debates and argue. But in the end, they will promote the controversy in academics again on the land of China, making the Ming Dynasty the center for the development and prosperity of academics at that time.
The seats around Jixia Hall were filled with students from Imperial College early on. There were nearly 10,000 students from Imperial College in Nanjing, but there were only more than a thousand seats for Jixia Hall. At this time, the corridors and corridors were full of people, and even the windows were filled with people watching.
Some of them are from the vassal states such as Tang, Gui, Lu, and even vassal states such as Korea, Japan, and sulfur balls. Those international students who "look for culture and education" often study liberal arts, mathematics, geniology, agricultural science, engineering, business, and medicine, while the latter can only study classics (Confucian science), legal and political science, and medicine. If you come out, you will be good ministers, and if you enter, you will be good doctors. This is the way of education of the sages.
Moreover, those who can study in the Ming Dynasty are all local powerful people. They are also willing to learn the knowledge of governing the country, but they are happy to be happy. They are also very curious about traveling around the world and "the ancestors of China discovered the world."
Travel the world!
How rare!
How lively!
It's hard to meet in your lifetime.
The students were crowded everywhere, and the teachers always had a seat. As for Fang Yizhi and Zhu, although they came late, because Mrs. Quina was a sponsor of the Imperial College, there was a private room specially reserved for Zhu on the second floor of Jixiatang.
Tangtang Imperial College accepts funding?
When will the Imperial College Entrance Examination not accept funding?
When did the "donation of life" be stopped?
However, in the past, the money donated to the imperial court was handed over to the imperial court, but now it is handed over to the Imperial College for teaching.
However, because the number of students in the Imperial College is limited, the price of donated students has been increasing in recent years, from the initial 200 taels to 1,000 taels.
Even if you don’t have a strong recommendation person, you may not be able to rank as a member of the list if you have money.
In addition to donating children, there is another special kind of donation, which is to donate directly to the Imperial College. Mrs. Quina donated tens of thousands of taels of silver to the Imperial College. It was not to let her son go to the Imperial College, but to reputation, there is a Lady Building in the Imperial College, which was donated by her.
As for convenience.
Zhu Shengwuneng conducted various experiments in schools as an outsider and participated in academic research. In fact, this situation was very common in the powerful class of the Ming Dynasty. Those powerful children who received modern science education, either out of curiosity or hobbies, devoted themselves to science.
They have the time and energy to study science.
Of course, the most important thing is to be rich!
Whether it is scientific research or experiments, it requires a lot of money as a support. Ordinary people often consider employment, food, clothing, housing and transportation due to their livelihoods. But they are different. Driven by hobbies, they can study science for more than ten years.
In fact, many European scientists of this era were aristocrats themselves, or they received funding from aristocrats and scientific research cost money.
Just like today, in addition to the professors and well-known scholars of the Imperial College, there are several honorary ministers. Their goal of funding scholars is to make a name for science or to make a name for themselves, but with their support, many poor children can engage in research in this area, which is a good thing for the Ming Dynasty. Even now, funding scholars has long become a kind of trend in the Ming Dynasty.
"Marquis Lichuan is here too."
In the box on the second floor, Fang Yizhi said softly when he saw the person in the front row downstairs.
"I heard that Lichuan Hou sponsored an expedition team to conduct an expedition in Borneo, and his interest should not be on the expedition."
After a smile, Fang Yizhi just glanced at Lichuan Hou and then listened to the speech on stage.
In addition to his speeches, he was also interested in various animal and plant specimens brought by the "Qi Ming Xing". There were many animal and plant specimens, which were unheard of. Of course, the fact that they inserted "boundary monuments" around the world also caused a sensation in Nanjing.
I'm afraid this is also the reason why the honorary ministers such as Lichuan Hou came here. Compared with the cabinet, there are a few of the honorary ministers in the Governor's Office of the Five Army who are not wary, and they wish they could turn the whole world into the Ming Dynasty.
They are consistent with His Majesty's viewpoint.
"…In this regard, the Europeans and our views are consistent. They were attacked by natives in the local area, and those natives were women, using bows and arrows, similar to the legendary female Amazon warriors. This is also the reason why they named it the Amazon River. Through our field test, it is more like the "Women's Country" in the Shanhai Jing..."
Listening to the explanation of the young man on the podium, Fang Yizhi just nodded slightly, as if he was in agreement. In fact, his views were the same as His Majesty. The ancestors of China found that it was not important whether it could be proved, but that there would be thousands of explorers and scholars who would prove all this through adventures.
"So have you ever had close contact?"
"Because of time and their hostility towards me, we did not have direct contact with them..."
The speaker is unintentional, and the listener is intentional. Someone may have the idea of going to Amazon to explore. What is the woman's country like? What is the personality of the woman in the woman's country? Such thoughts are hard to guarantee that they will emerge in the hearts of some young people. When the time is ripe, they will seek funding. There are countless heroic ministers in the Ming Dynasty, and wealthy businessmen are willing to fund such adventures, for reputation and reputation! Even the emperor himself is willing to fund overseas adventures. Overseas adventures can not only bring reputation, but also wealth.
Finally, with the support of others, the brave explorers will embark on their adventure. They will remeasure the earth, measure mountains and rivers, measure oceans, and rediscover the world!
And in the adventures of such generations, and generations, they can prove the view that "the ancestors of China discovered the world", Fang Yizhi is not sure, but one thing that is certain is that in the end they will discover the world and the Ming Dynasty will discover the whole world!
When he sighed, Fang Yizhi saw an officer hurried to the front row, and then whispered something in the ear of Lichuan Hou. Mu Wensu, who was originally smiling, suddenly stood up and left in a hurry, without even saying goodbye to the people around him.
What's wrong?
"Something must have happened!"
Looking at the background of Lichuan Hou, Fang Yizhi suddenly had such an idea in his mind, and something big must have happened, otherwise he would not have left here just like that.
