Chapter 554 Dear Albert, it’s time to take medicine! (please order, please vote)
On the sixth year of Tianli, on the second day of the second month, there was misty rain.
Today is the day when the first "College Entrance Examination" of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will be released!
Although the Ministry of Rites of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had long stated that the college entrance examination is by no means an imperial examination, and he will not be awarded an official immediately after passing the examination, and may not even be awarded an official. However, this examination was the first time since the founding of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, a "big competition" for students across the country. Moreover, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom court attached unprecedented importance to this college entrance examination. After Wang Libin brought Prussian primary and middle school science textbooks back to China, he was preparing for it! Even for this "big competition", a "Taixue" called "Taiping University Hall" was opened!
Although the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom held many imperial examinations before, those imperial examinations were not formal. It was not the national competition held by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom court, but the imperial examinations held by the kings of the Heavenly Kingdom. In fact, it was the examination for the kings to recruit civil servants and staff for themselves. The Wu Palace in Luo Yao Kingdom also held several so-called imperial examinations, and hundreds of "Jinshi" were selected. However, the "subject content" of these Jinshi was insufficient, and there were no good officials to be admitted after passing the exam. Generally, low-level officials started to do it. Therefore, the people of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom did not take these "Jinshi" seriously.
This highly anticipated "college entrance examination" was regarded as a formal imperial examination competition, attracting the attention of countless people, at least countless scholars.
Outside the south gate of Taiping University Hall, covered by rain, there were 118 "Heavenly Pagodao Pillars" south. Thousands of candidates squeezed under the turban shed, their eyes trembling with the sound of several Taiping Army gongs holding umbrellas. Weng Tonghe, a candidate in Suzhou Prefecture, stood at the corner of the shed with his sleeves, holding his breath. He had long been Luo Yaoguo's aide, and he had military achievements. If he wanted to be an official, the prefect dared not say that he would definitely have it. There was no problem with the magistrate, and he could also make a flaw. But what he wanted was the "top scorer in the college entrance examination"!
Only by having the top scholar and military merits can you go far in the officialdom of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!
So in the past two years, he has endured loneliness and refused to become a high-ranking official. In addition to traveling to Beijing for several trips to Luo Yaoguo to earn meritorious work, he was studying mathematics, physics and chemistry hard. Not only did he finish the middle school courses, he also secretly studied some college mathematics courses with Yung Wing, in order to make a big splash and win the top scorer.
However, the college entrance examination is really difficult!
Although he will definitely be able to get into Taiping University, this top scorer may not be sure of being the top scorer.
"The first name - Hua Hengfang, Suzhou Prefecture!" The person in charge of the sing name was the Hakka accent, which was extremely loud, and he called out twice in a row.
"Hua" Weng Tonghe's eyes turned dark and he almost fainted. Fortunately, a young candidate from Guangdong next to him, Wu Tingfang helped him: "Brother Weng, don't worry, there is still the second place, Tanhua."
"Second place - Huang Sheng, Guangzhou Prefecture!"
Not me yet!
Weng Tonghe had cold sweat on his forehead. He knew Hua Hengfang and Huang Sheng. Among them, Hua Hengfang had already learned to become an engineer at the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau Shipyard. He was a real science genius! Huang Sheng also went to the United States to study and was the director of the Shanghai Tongwenguan! The university textbooks Weng Tonghe wanted to study were all translated.

Tupolev followed Yang Xiuqing with sweat. He actually didn't know much about smelting iron, and he was really driving the ducks to put them on the shelves. He obviously came according to the drawings, but he still exploded.
"The dead and injured are all given preferential treatment," Yang Xiuqing's eyes swept across the ground, and then his cold eyes swept over Tupolev: "Continue to work, you must do it!"
The sound of wooden clogs came from behind Yang Xiuqing, and Daozi quietly walked behind Yang Dongwang with a secret letter: "Dongwang, it seems that there was a fraud in Tianjing. Someone caused trouble after the competition, and King Luo Wu deducted two or three thousand people to participate in the "repeat class"!"
"What did you get in the exam?" Yang Xiuqing asked with a frown.
"Mathematics, physics, chemistry, Confucianism, Taiping classics." Daozi replied.
"What's this? Where can I take the imperial examinations? Who can do this?" Yang Xiuqing's eyes turned back to the blown blast furnace and said to Daozi, "Teach you have a little harder to go to Shanghai to see if you can invite a few people who can build blast furnaces! Also, don't be afraid of spending money, make more drawings and formulas!"
"Hayi!"

The carved copper bed at Buckingham Palace was shining warm in the fireplace. Prince Albert was curled up in the silk quilt, his intestines mixed with the sound of rain in London outside the window, which looked like the rhythm of death knocking on the door. He was exhausted due to the war with the Russians during this period. In addition, he knew that his life was not long, and his mood was always a little depressed and his physical condition was getting worse and worse. I didn’t know what he had eaten a few days ago. As a result, he vomited and had diarrhea. Could it be that his death was coming?
It was said that he died in 1861, but now he is only in 1856, and there are still 5 years left!
"God, save me. I am still young and don't want to die." Prince Albert was praying with God when he suddenly heard the sound of the door being pushed open.
"Tap, tap, tap"
The high heels broke the silence of the corridor, and then Prince Albert heard his wife's cheerful voice: "Dear Albert, it's time to take medicine."
The same moment.
On the San Francisco dock, the smoke from the steamboat was not dissipated, and Huang Shiren's thousand-layer cloth shoes were already stepping on the mud outside the dock. He suddenly heard a familiar sound of gongs and drums. He looked up and saw a Cantonese opera team singing "The Father of Heavenly Demons", but the person who beat the gong looked a bit strange, not like a Han or a white man, and of course he was not a black boy with a cinnabar talisman on his face.
In the salty sea breeze, a gilded statue of Hong Xiuquan was being carried on a parade. The statue has been changed to three heads and six arms - holding the Bible on the left, the True Covenant on the right, and holding the "Chen Dynasty Field System" in both hands. Xianfeng was wearing the black robe of the True Covenant on the True Covenant on the hand, holding the "True Covenant on the Hand" in his hand, muttering words, probably chanting the scriptures, but his eyes were dazed at the oil-paper umbrella of the Japanese geisha - she looked a bit like Rinko, but unfortunately it was not her!
"Senator O'Connor is putting gold foil on the King of Heaven in the cathedral." De Ling, together with Xianfeng, suddenly pointed to the Zhenyoupai Cathedral in the distance, and opened his voice to a group of Chinese and Irish people below, "His Japanese lady said that you must learn to pray in Hakka, because the King of Heaven said that the Father spoke Hakka."
At this time, the Chinese on the dock suddenly became excited. Smith, who was running for San Francisco mayor, walked up with his wife in a kimono in a sleeve, and a Colt 1851 naval pistol in his suit pocket - the trigger guard was engraved with the "Gangnan Manufacturing Bureau".
Huang Shiren looked at the scene in front of him that seemed a bit unreal, and for a moment he was a little suspicious that he had really arrived in the United States or Guangdong? Or he was still in Shanghai, just a dream.
"What do you call this brother? Where did you come from?" A Beijing movie with a somewhat hoarse voice suddenly rang in Huang Shiren's ears.
