Once Lingzhou prospers and develops, it will surely attract the attention of all parties over time, becoming as eye-catching as Hangzhou.
In addition to merchants, there are many points worth noting.
The surrounding West Asian countries, as well as the vast entire Mobei range, still have many tribes and countries that have little contact with China.
Not all the barbarian tribes in Mobei have fought against the Han, and many of them have really been living a small life on the grasslands. From time to time, they even get beaten while trying to conquer China because of the rise of some cavalry tribes, such as Mo Si.
But the principality...
In short, the world is vast and unpredictable. Even the huge scale of China seems much smaller than the entire planet.
And these countries have naturally become interested in Lingzhou——
In the past, there was only a small scale, cattle and sheep livestock were underdeveloped, and farming was difficult because of the cold weather in the northwest. How could such a poor place with little needs be built into a majestic, luxurious and magnificent place in the blink of an eye?
Extremely?
It's like there is a company in an inconspicuous small county town. This inconspicuous small company is also filled with inconspicuous county youths. But one day... the employees of this company suddenly won the lottery.
Suddenly he was driving a sports car.
Once such a strong contrast appears, it can be said that no one in the entire county cares more about it.
After all, the story of sudden wealth is the most attractive story, and Lingzhou now belongs to the kind of story protagonist who makes wealth myth, so naturally the world is attracting attention——
Not to mention the surrounding tribes and states, even countless merchants in Hangzhou were strongly attracted and wanted to look for opportunities on the trade routes around Lingzhou.
And as a result, all kinds of people were attracted to Lingzhou...
From all over the world.
…
In the midst of such a wave of the times, Lingzhou College’s enrollment is also in full swing.
Not only that, to Li Sheng's expectation, Lingzhou College even set up a specialized intermediate school and primary school - what was generally called "mengxue" in this era, that is, the study of enlightenment.
Li Sheng was also very surprised by this when he came here. How did these ancients know about middle schools and elementary schools?...
However, Li Sheng soon learned that this was the idea of Chang Sun Chong, a young scholar from Chang'an. Although Chang Sun Chong had no influence on the academy in Lingzhou, the atmosphere of Lingzhou Academy was completely opposite to the rustic environment here.
He was very open-minded and quickly used Chang Sun Chongfa's ideas in Chang'an Weekly.
With primary schools and secondary schools, more students will enroll. In addition to primary schools and secondary schools, Lingzhou College itself, naturally...
In addition to welcoming Li Sheng, the number one idol in the academic world, he is naturally also recruiting disciples.
While Li Sheng was shutting up in the depths of Lingzhou's research institute, in the outside world, Lingzhou College also welcomed a new batch of students.
The economic and strategic packages for the South China Sea have been presented. After a series of economic and strategic strategies were implemented, more than half a year has passed since Zhenguan missed the beginning of spring, and this year has finally arrived in autumn.
"Autumn is a season of sobriety", this is a theme often used by scholars in China's rich grain-producing areas to write poems, but...
For the hard-working people in the northwest, autumn is really chilling, because...
In autumn, it will snow.
For this reason, the gentlemen of Lingzhou College, such as Wei Ziyu and others, reached a consensus on the matter of enrollment after some discussions.
First of all, according to Li Sheng's meaning, everyone is taught regardless of distinction, and everyone who wants to learn is taught. But Lingzhou College is the same as Chengxi Academy in Chang'an. These are top universities, not to mention the graduate school of the Zhongzuo Institute, and Lingzhou College
The state also has a research institute - in the eyes of Wei Ziyu and others, entering the research institute is equivalent to becoming a disciple.
The number of disciples who enter the house is always limited. It is impossible to recruit all the students in Lingzhou University. There are simply not so many pitfalls to arrange so many carrots, so there must still be selection criteria, such as academic performance...
The same goes for college admissions.
In the future, it will definitely depend on the school's test scores. There is no doubt about this.
Both Wei Ziyu and other teachers from Lingzhou University, as well as Li Sheng himself, all hold this view.
But at this stage, middle schools have just been opened...
In this case, the current enrollment of Lingzhou University is not enough, and there are too many pitfalls and too few carrots.
Therefore...at the current stage, Lingzhou University also needs to look for students everywhere and collect young scholars with outstanding talents and solid foundation to enter the college, but...of course, it cannot be limited to middle schools, or even to the northwest area.
.
Lingzhou used to be just an ordinary military settlement in the northwest. Now it is rich and prosperous, with merchants coming and going in an endless stream. How can it be limited?
This enrollment is naturally the same as the Chengxi Academy in Chang'an, facing the world!
However, Lingzhou still has some characteristics that are different from the academies in Chang'an.
Because...because the Chengxi Academy in Chang'an basically recruits 100% of the scholars under the rule of the Tang Dynasty itself.
And here in Lingzhou, from time to time... we meet some students from foreign countries.
If time goes by, if Li Sheng is to say, most Chengxi academies in Chang'an will also have to accept international students. After all, "Hua" refers to civilization, how can the heart of civilization not export civilization? And Hangzhou and the Zhongzuo Institute will obviously also establish colleges, then
In the future, young people from outside China will also be admitted to school by sea.
But because of its special location, Yeongju University is already accepting students.
However, Wei Ziyu and other faculty and staff are of course also thoughtful. They naturally want to accept international students, but the construction of a college like this costs a lot of the national treasury budget, so the natural priority is to bring scholars from home countries. As for foreign students... then
Of course, there are some criteria for screening, and there is a screening process to make people convinced.
Li Sheng basically had no interest in participating in this kind of thing, but Wei Ziyu and others conducted a test based on the folk customs in the northwest area.
First of all, there are many nomads in the northwest. The folk customs are primitive, but relatively few have read books, or there are not many opportunities to study. As for those from foreign countries... they usually come from the families of princes and nobles.
China wants to spread civilization all over the world, and naturally it will not only accept young people from the families of princes and nobles when accepting international students. This is a strategy when executing strategic plans, and it is not something that an orthodox empire would normally do.
So in the end, the screening method given by Wei Ziyu and others was to walk from the outermost edge of Lingzhou City to Lingzhou City College.
The time is the beginning of autumn. Because of the latitude here, there is already one or two feet of snow on the ground when autumn begins. And the location...
