At noon on April 30, the admission regulations of Lin'an University were posted on the bulletin board in front of the Gongyuan Gate. This regulations was handwritten by He Ji, the president of Royal Lin'an University. The characters are square and round, solemn and elegant, and he is worthy of being a master.
Handwriting. However, it was not He Ji's calligraphy or the content above that caused a sensation, but a new writing format.
"How come this is considered an innovation?" No one understood.
The charter changed the traditional writing rule of writing vertically from right to left. Instead, it was written horizontally from left to right. Some strange symbols were used to separate sentence breaks. Next to the bulletin board, two newly hired university teachers were responsible for interpreting and explaining to the readers.
The candidates explained the unclear points and pointed out that this is the way of writing that will be used in universities in the future. The meaning of the sentence break symbols will be explained one by one after the class begins.
If the signer was not He Ji, it would definitely be considered a "wrong" charter.
After checking their identity documents, the candidates each received an examination syllabus. Candidates who had taken the imperial examination immediately noticed that the content of the examination was completely different from previous imperial examinations. In addition to traditional literature, a lot of natural knowledge was added.
, common sense of life and simple physical theory, and the proportion exceeds the literature part.
"Mechanical physics, chemical engineering, what are these?"
"I can understand agricultural plants and medicine, so just apply for this department."
"It's ridiculous. Everyone knows about these departments, so it must be difficult to get into the exam. I think it's better to take the chemical engineering exam. If everyone doesn't understand it, there will be fewer people applying, so it's easier to get into the exam."
"Brother Zheng, what you said makes sense."
"Brother Wu Cheng, what are you going to take the exam for?"
"My little brother likes architecture and Yi Xue. It seems that this mathematics class is of some use, so I will apply for the mathematics class."
The candidates were chatting while filling in their application forms. People in this era really didn’t understand, and most of them vaguely chose the department they applied for.
The university is divided into seven departments and will enroll a total of 140 students. A written examination will be held on the afternoon of May 10th and an interview will be held on the 11th. The final results will be based on the comprehensive scores of the written examination and interview, and the top 20 students will be admitted.
With the help of Jerry Polo, the preparations for the Royal Lin'an University went much more smoothly, so I left it to them with confidence.
In the mid-13th century, although the economy of the Song Dynasty still ranked first in the world, precursors of science had appeared in backward Europe. From the early 13th century, many European countries began to establish comprehensive universities, similar to the one Jerry studied.
The University of Padua was founded in 1220.
The development of productivity is inseparable from science and technology, but it is a pity that our ancestors realized it too early and understood it too late. The development of science and technology comes from talents. Therefore, if a country wants to develop steadily and in the long term, education is the key.
It can be said that the economy represents today's life, technology brings tomorrow's opportunities, and education is the foundation for future development.
The establishment of Lin'an University has received mixed reviews from outside. Only I know that this is the trend of history and no one can change it. As long as we can persist, we, the land of China, will always be one step ahead of the world.
We cannot just stay in the "ancient civilization".
I did not go to Gongyuan, but asked Xiaoqi to transfer the copywriting of Qian Shuoyou from the Ministry of Civil Affairs. After reading it, I said to Wen Tianxiang and Lu Xiufu: "Do you know this Qian Shuoyou?"
The two looked at each other and said, "I don't know."
"From the information of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, it seems that the current transfer envoy between Zhejiang and Zhejiang is a potential friend with both talents and virtues. He does not seem to be a Jia Party member. The Ministry of Civil Affairs also speaks highly of him. I just find it a little strange that Jia Sidao did not recommend him this time.
One of our own?"
Wen Tianxiang said: "Your Majesty, maybe Jia Sidao knew that he was wrong this time and recommended a neutral person to avoid causing your Majesty's dissatisfaction again."
"Well, it's possible. It seems that Jia Sidao had good intentions. When the late emperor was still alive, he always believed that Jia Sidao could bring peace to the country with his words and military power. Even if he encountered a powerful Mongolian army, he could handle it.
With ease, this is
It created an illusion for the late emperor, and I cannot do without this person in the Song Dynasty. When I was still the prince, I always kept a low profile and Jia Sidao thought that I was weak and incompetent. However, after the vision from heaven, I gradually became stronger. That Jia Sidao
Road
Be careful. Jia Sidao is indeed smart, he knows how to advance and retreat, and understands the priorities. However, I have seen through him. What he wants is a balance in which the power of the prime minister is slightly greater than the power of the emperor, rather than replacing the imperial power with the power of the prime minister. Moreover, the court
The Queen Mother and her party can also contain the expansion of the prime minister's power. Of course, how can I allow the three powers to stand in tandem for a long time?" I finished speaking in one breath and said to Lu Xiufu, "By the way, Junshi, let the Longya Intelligence Department also investigate.
Check the situation of potential lobbyists."
Zhao Fu in history was so incompetent that Jia Sidao did not replace him, which shows that Jia Sidao was positioned as a powerful prime minister rather than usurping the throne.
Lu Xiufu said: "I will arrange an investigation on this person. Your Majesty's analysis is incisive, and I can't do it better."
I smiled and continued: "Jun Shi, how are you doing with Mr. Li in Yangzhou lately?"
"Back to Your Majesty, Mr. Li has developed nearly 300 Dragon Ya members in the Yangzhou defense area in accordance with His Majesty's decree, including about 200 people in the army. The expansion work of Yangzhou is now nearing completion. In terms of the overall situation, it is quite good.
In order to make things smoother. In recent months, Jia Sidao has written frequently to Mr. Li. In his letters, he repeatedly mentioned the support he gave Mr. Li back then, meaning that Mr. Li should not forget this kindness."
"Haha, this is Jia Sidao." I thought for a moment and said, "Jun Shi, please write back to Li Tingzhi. First, ask him to carefully examine the two hundred Long Ya members in the army again, and be sure to be careful.
, I plan to give priority to equipping these two hundred officers and soldiers with muskets as the backbone of the new army in the future.
Secondly, we should make more use of the crisscrossing waters around the city defenses to set up barriers to prevent the Mongols from suddenly moving south. Thirdly, if possible, send special agents to the nearest territory to enter the northern territory, contact the anti-Mongolians, and spy on all kinds of intelligence.
.As for dealing with Jia Sidao, just one word: drag."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I understand that I also sent people to sneak into Mongolia based on the method provided by Zhang Shijie."
"Well, very good. Song Rui, what's the progress in the Gunpowder Department?"
"Back to Your Majesty, there is no progress yet. Yun Bofei has been staying at home in recent days. He said he wanted to retreat and think about the improvement of muskets."
"Well, he must have encountered a bottleneck. Let him pay attention to his health and let him make his own decisions in other aspects."
"Yes, Your Majesty, there is one more thing. Wen Zhang wants to see Your Majesty."
"Really? Let him in."
I saw Wen Zhang looking a little uneasy after entering the house. He changed his usual liveliness and asked curiously: "Wen Zhang, what's the matter?"
Wen Zhang whispered: "Your Majesty, this time, there was something wrong with Jinhua's bandit suppression."
"Isn't it just the assassination of Gai Jiaotian? I have already ordered the criminal department to investigate the case. I will tell you when there is news."
"Your Majesty, no." Wen Zhang plucked up the courage to say, "Dozens of young guardsmen were injured in this suppression of bandits. No one died at the scene. However, an injured guard was infected a few days ago due to improper treatment of his wounds on the day of the battle.
leading to death."
"die?"
"Yes, so I asked the emperor to punish me, but I didn't get the full credit."
I immediately understood what Wen Zhang said. There were some minor injuries, but due to the lack of timely treatment by the military doctors accompanying the team, viral infections or excessive blood loss resulted in many unnecessary deaths. Just like during the Long March, the Red Army lacked medical treatment and medicine.
Many people with minor injuries who should have survived were sacrificed for this.
"I didn't think carefully about this matter. My original intention was to build the Youth Guard into a new army, but I didn't equip the Youth Guard with military doctors according to the military structure. I don't blame you for this. Wen Zhang, you can recruit twenty more when you expand your recruitment this time.
For young men who are familiar with medical skills, I will arrange for imperial doctors to teach them. Also, you can select three to five people from each hundred-man team who have common knowledge of medical skills or are interested in this field, and let them receive training together as battlefield nurses.
."
Wen Zhang asked curiously: "What is a nurse?"
"During a war, it is unrealistic for doctors to follow the army to the battlefield. Nurses are temporary doctors on the battlefield. They provide simple professional treatment to the injured at the first time, such as bandaging, disinfection, etc., and then return to work after the war stops.
The treatment is done by doctors. Therefore, nurses are also members of the army, and their establishment is the same as that of soldiers. I will tell you in detail after you have recruited the staff."
