Chapter 13 Sun Chengen’s decision

Sun Chengen was also a little embarrassed about this matter and released Zhou Mengchen's papers separately. After waiting for several days, all the papers were arranged, and the last dozen papers of the third grade were taken and taken to take a look. They were placed together with Zhou Mengchen's papers.

For a moment, Sun Chengen hesitated.

This is also another disadvantage of the eight-legged essay. The evaluation criteria are too vague. They all depend on the examiner's opinion.

If Sun Chengen didn't know that a certain test paper was written by Zhou Mengchen, he could still keep a fair mind. Now he already knows that other factors are inevitably mixed with various judgments.

Moreover, the questions in the imperial examination are much simpler than those in the provincial examination. This will lead to a situation. Not to mention the last dozen or so in the third grade, even if you put the last hundred in the third grade together and put the last one in advance by 100, there is a way to justify it.

It’s not that the examiner who drafts the papers is biased. It’s really not that the difference between the two parties is very small. It’s difficult for the exam to have objective criteria for judging.

It is normal to have more than a hundred people missing one after another.

The same problem is true for Zhou Mengchen's paper. It is absolutely no problem to win or not, but it is absolutely not a problem to fail the exam. But it seems reasonable to choose.

Sun Chengen thought for a moment and said to himself: "Stop it. Give Your Majesty a face."

Zhou Mengchen was awarded a 208th place in the third place.

There was no fixed number of Jinshi in the Ming Dynasty, as many as more than four hundred people, as few as two hundred people, but after Xianzong, three hundred people were considered the norm. Of course, taking three hundred people as the norm does not mean that 300 people must be taken to complete it. However, if you define this number, you cannot be too much.

Therefore, most of the Jinshi in the Ming Dynasty had more than 300 people, no more than 350 people.

But this time, Sun Chengen seemed to have to strictly follow three hundred people to take it.

The first class is three, the second class is ninety, and the third class is two hundred and eight. Zhou Mengchen is the third class is two hundred and eight, which means the total ranking of three hundred and one. I don’t know if Sun Chengen thinks 301, this number is more auspicious, or if Zhou Mengchen is the extra addition to him.

Of course, the ranking of the third class has not yet come out, which is only available in the palace examination. But in fact, the palace examination will not be reduced. The ranking of the third class Jinshi is reflected in the ranking of the imperial examination. Although the ultimate status is the ranking of the palace examination, the ranking of the imperial examination is quite different from the ranking of the palace examination. After all, many times, there is no paper in the examination room, especially in the ranking.

But overall, that's all. There will be no more changes.

Sun Chengen ordered Zhou Mengchen's ranking next time, which was a little less trouble, but it was not time to release the ranking. After all, Zhou Mengchen's problem was only one of the various problems. After Sun Chengen, he had to carefully look at the rankings to see if there were any tricks, and then search for the fallen report to see if there are any buried talents.

It will take some time to wait for the results to be released.

Zhou Mengchen didn't know that he had been decided. He was also very upset at this moment.

After he entered the palace last time, he was left alone by Emperor Jiajing, which seemed to be a honor for his subjects. However, although Emperor Jiajing did not say it clearly, the hint was already obvious, that was Zhou Mengchen, and now you have also taken the exam. Should you focus on doing the job for me?

After Zhou Mengchen returned, Feng Bao and Teng Xiang immediately came to the door.

Zhou Mengchen realized that he had to do a lot of things.

The first is the manufacturing and sales of clocks.

In fact, there is no problem with clock manufacturing, but Zhou Mengchen himself is not satisfied with pure handmade manufacturing and wants to make some mechanical processing. This is what Zhou Mengchen thinks is a problem. The sales problem is that Zhou Mengchen thinks is no problem, Huang Jin and even the eunuchs in the palace think there is a problem.

In Zhou Mengchen's opinion, with the royal family as the guarantee, and the high-ranking officials and nobles of the Ming Dynasty could not resist new things like clocks. Decades in history, Western clocks were also popular in the Ming Dynasty. How could they not be sold?

But Zhou Mengchen understood the Ming Dynasty imperial shop carefully and understood why this was?

The Ming Dynasty Imperial Shop is not so much a royal merchant, but rather a tax collecting institution.

There are two types of shops in the Ming Dynasty. One is converted from an official shop. The so-called official shop is mainly a couch room, which is a warehouse. As early as Taizu was in Nanjing, it became a building of thousands of couch rooms for merchants to use. But it had to pay.

This is also a forced monopoly nature. Whenever a businessman wants to trade here, the goods must be placed in the couch.

It seems that this is tax-oriented.

The income of official stores in the early Ming Dynasty did not necessarily enter the Da Nei. It can only be said that each has its own distribution. However, after it was changed to the imperial store, these incomes went straight to the Da Nei, becoming a type of income of the emperor.

One is also a business, but also an administrative monopoly.

The six imperial shops are called Baohe, Heyuan, Shunning, Fude, Fuji, and Baoyan. Rather than saying it is an imperial shop, it is better to say that the fur and other things sold in various places must be put into the imperial shops. Otherwise, let them see if they can start a business in Beijing.

In fact, all the businesses in Beijing were occupied by nobles and emperors and eunuchs. Ordinary people only do small business with bargaining shops. It is impossible to become a big businessman.

Perhaps the Ming Dynasty had the beginning of capitalism, but it was absolutely not available in Beijing.

Zhou Mengchen was really embarrassed by this imperial shop for them to buy things.

The second problem is the robot project.

No, the music box project in Zhou Mengchen's eyes.

Zhou Mengchen has not yet launched this project. Many problems are waiting to be solved. However, although it is troublesome, Zhou Mengchen feels that he can still complete the design work, so he has to see if the Ming craftsmen can complete Zhou Mengchen's design.

The third question is that Emperor Jiajing asked Zhou Mengchen to help me explain the issues of many great doctors.

Although Zhou Mengchen already felt that the blood type problem was already last year. The problem is that the information transmission speed in this era is too slow. Even though the journal "Grand Medical Jingcheng" has not yet completed the twelve issues. If you use a statement, refute, refute, and refute, Emperor Jiajing has not yet fought against his opponent for a round.

This is something that makes Zhou Mengchen very nervous.

Zhou Mengchen knew many scientific principles.

Because it's common sense.

But the problem is that many times, we do not understand how common sense was born. Zhou Mengchen must start the process of reversing the conclusion from this conclusion. That's fine. The biggest problem is that Zhou Mengchen's explanation must also conform to the values ​​of this era.

Otherwise, it is a rebellious and unacceptable.

In short, Zhou Mengchen was injured like a brain cell.

Among these three problems, the best solution is the first problem.

Zhou Mengchen told Tengxiang directly: "Since there are six imperial shops and I don't know how to deal with them, please report to Eunuch Huang. Just prepare the goods, build the storefront, ask Your Majesty to reward the ministers with some clocks and watches, and let out the news and wait for someone to come to the door."

Tengxiang said: "It's that simple? You must know that Eunuch Huang has spent 100,000 taels of money on this matter. Is there really no problem?"

Part of this small 100,000 taels was lent to Zhou Mengchen as the fund for the world surveying plan. The other part was for the various expenses of producing watches and watches.

Zhou Mengchen smiled softly and said, "How difficult is this? Please rest assured. If Eunuch Huang can't make this money, it's up to me."

After Zhou Mengchen sent Tengxiang, he immediately summoned several disciples. Except for these three disciples who have arrived in Wuchang because of the world survey plan, the rest are around Zhou Mengchen. After Zhou Mengchen broke down the design problem of the music box, he began to get busy.

Zhou Mengchen did not have too high requirements for this thing. It was driven by the clockwork and appearance of the human figure, and could make a series of actions within a certain range. It is best to have a certain sound.

However, Zhou Mengchen was in trouble with the most basic things.

That is, Zhou Mengchen couldn't sigh at the incompleteness of the five tones, but he had never learned vocal music. Zhou Mengchen had no problem with letting the metal strips make sounds, but it was a bit difficult for Zhou Mengchen to make this thing. Fortunately, Feng Bao was full of talent and thoughtfulness, played the piano well, and had great achievements in music. He actually helped Zhou Mengchen a lot.
