To the south of Kaifeng Prefecture City, there is a place called Qingcheng, which is the Circular Mound that the Emperor worships the sky in the southern suburbs of the Emperor. The so-called Circular Mound is an 81-foot-high earth platform built with loess. Next to this earth platform, there is a palace dedicated to the emperor resting before and after the ceremony of worshiping the heavens, which is called Qingcheng Palace. They are all very old houses, built when the Song Dynasty opened and used for more than a hundred years.

However, this spring, the court allocated a large sum of money and instructed the supervisor to renovate the dilapidated Qingcheng Palace. It was completed by the end of the year, and it was completely renewed.

The first nobleman to move in was not Zhao Ji, who came to worship the sky, but Yelu Nanxian, the daughter-in-law of Concubine Xiaoliang, who married Princess Cheng'an from the Liao Kingdom.

Before entering the bridal chamber with Zhao Ganshun, she would always live in Qingcheng Palace. After Yelu Nanxian and the accompanying ministers, concubines, slaves and others who came from the Great Liao Kingdom, they settled in Qingcheng Palace, even if Wu Haogu and Zhao Anhui's mission were basically completed, they were considered wedding envoys, one represented Zhao Ganshun's father Zhao Ji, and the other represented Zhao Ganshun's mother Xiaoliang Concubine. After the matter, the two of them, and the wedding party, the Grand Monk Zhishen, who came south together, brought their respective entourages into the city.

Wu Haogu is now familiar with Zhao Anhui. Although the two are very different in age and are once enemies on the battlefield, they did not hinder their interactions along the way. As for the great monk Zhishen, he even became a close friend with Zhao Anhui.

The three of them were talking and laughing, and entered the city from Nanxun Gate together. It was afternoon when they entered the city, and they caught up with pig dealers. When the sheep dealers drove the animals into the city, the streets were full of vehicles waiting to slaughter pigs and sheep, and the smell was not very good. However, it did not affect the interest of the three of them at all.

What they are talking about now is a big deal of millions, and it also affects whether the Song Dynasty officials can truly become the Khan of God, and whether Buddhism and Confucianism can join forces to enter the world. It is a historical conversation!

After entering Nanxun Gate, they did not continue to follow the old Yu Street (the original Yu Street, because Zhao Ji now lives in Qionglin Palace, so they called the avenue in front of Qionglin Palace Xinyu Street, and the original Yu Street became the old Yu Street), but turned left and headed towards Yinan Bridge.

"Isn't this martial arts? Why are there so many red houses now?"

When Zhao Anhui rode a horse to the bustling Yinan Bridge, he suddenly found a red house in front of his right side. They were all two-story and three-story buildings, one next to another, which had a little bit of a huge house.

But in Zhao Anhui's memory (he once came to Kaifeng Prefecture as an envoy of the Western Xia), that red house should be the place where martial arts scholars live. Could it be that all martial arts students living in these red houses?

"It is not martial arts, but a house built by Wanjia Trading Company. And there is no martial arts anymore," Wu Haogu replied, "Martial Arts, Imperial Arts, and Imperial Arts have been merged into the Biyong Academy Palace and moved to the Xihuang City. Zhao Governor (Zhao Anhui has the official position of the governor), this Biyong Academy Palace is very different from the original Imperial Arts... "

The so-called Xihuang City is an independent area around the Qionglin Palace, which is divided by the city wall and the rest of the Xichengxiang. Among them, the east and south walls of Xihuang City borrow the west and south walls of Kaifeng Prefecture. They are all newly built walls, with hard red bricks wrapped in rammed earth, tall and strong. The west and north walls of Xihuang City are also newly built, connecting the west and south walls of Kaifeng Prefecture. The height, thickness and materials used are also the same as the newly built Xicheng District of Kaifeng Prefecture and some north and south walls.

The Biyong Academy is located in the Xihuang City, with an area of ​​second only to the Qionglin Palace.

Unlike the Imperial College, which was originally divided into martial arts and poor families, the academic system of Biyong Academy generally imitates the Yuntai Academy, and the truth is true, but it is cultivating practical talents for capitalism, so it is naturally a evil path!

The Biyong Academy also has six basic disciplines, including "Confucianism", "Literature", "Mathematics", "Studying", "Biology", and "Martial Arts". In addition, there are five major disciplines, including "Military Science", "Musics", "Geography", "History", and "Law". The professional disciplines are only two Yuntai Academy, and there is no affiliated college, and there is no distinction between "generalists", "doctoralists", and "junior colleges". In fact, it is a new school that trains military officers and civil servants. Like the original Imperial College, the new Biyong Academy also adopts "outside houses", "inside houses" and "upside houses". However, unlike the original Imperial College, the New Biyong Academy uses textbooks of different difficulties according to the principle of shallow to deep.

In addition, because there are eleven basic and professional disciplines, the number of teachers in the Biyong Academy is far more than the original Imperial College Third School, and the number of students is not as many as the original Imperial College Third School. There are less than 900 students in total. According to the enrollment plan of the Biyong Academy, 400 students from all prefectures and counties across the country will enter the outer room every year, while the number of students in the inner room and upper room is only 350 and 300 respectively.

In other words, there will be at most less than 300 students every year in the future (some people will be eliminated after the graduation examination) and students graduated from the Biyong Academy.

All students who graduated from the Biyong Academy can be qualified to be exempted from the left-listed Jinshi exam and to take the right-listed Jinshi exam. Compared with the Yuntai Academy, although the Biyong Academy is more than inferior in terms of education level and scale, they have more political privileges. Students can be exempted from the left-listed Jinshi exam, that is, they can participate in the provincial examination of the left-listed Jinshi exam. However, the Yuntai Academy and students can only participate in the provincial examination of the Biyong Academy with the right-listed Jinshi exam, of course, graduates of the Biyong Academy can also participate in the provincial examination of the right-listed Jinshi exam. In addition, all prefectures and prefectures and soldiers in the Song Dynasty can recommend scholars with both civil and military skills to participate in the provincial examination of the right-listed Jinshi exam.

Of course, there is basically no possibility for students recommended by the prefectures and prefectures to pass the provincial examination for the right-list Jinshi. Because the subjects for the right-list Jinshi exam will correspond to the six basic subjects and five professional subjects of the Biyong Academy. All must be qualified to pass the provincial examination.

How can those students who have not been educated by the Biyong Academy and Yuntai Academy pass all eleven subjects?

As for the Biyong Academy, there are three sources of students from Yuntai Academy, one is the examination; the second is the children of relatives and noble officials who go to school through the back door; the third is the recommendation quota for students from each Prefecture and Prefecture Army to recommend the college students from each Prefecture and Prefecture Army, which is linked to the number of recruitment of new Prefecture soldiers. If the court cannot provide the government soldiers or the court does not need the government soldiers to provide the government soldiers, the quota will be zero. However, the students of the Prefecture and Prefecture Army can still pass the examination to enter the Biyong Academy and the Yuntai Academy.

Moreover, the court now encourages the establishment of "new-style academy" similar to the Yuntai Academy. As long as it passes the review of the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial College, it can be qualified.

By the way, Imperial College still exists as a yamen, but it no longer directly opens official schools, but becomes an existence similar to that of the Ministry of Education in later generations.

"So that's it..." After listening to Wu Haogu's introduction to Biyong Academy, Yuntai Academy, Jinshi, etc., Zhao Anhui finally understood a little, but a new question arises, "In the future, just one Biyong Academy alone will have 300 students completing their studies in a year. Yuntai Academy is larger in size, and the number of students is probably twice that of Biyong Academy. This is 900 people, 900 a year, and 2,700 in three years... How many people can get the right-ranked Jinshi? What should we do if the remaining people do?"

In fact, there are more than 900. When the Yuntai Academy has the North and South Second Colleges, there are also seven colleges including "Knight", "Engineering", "Creation", "Ship Administration", "Law", "Medicine", and "Calligraphy and Painting". Moreover, each college has to subdivided majors. When these colleges reach the expected scale, the Yuntai Department alone can graduate about 1,200 students in a year.

If you add the Biyong Academy and the Gezhida Academy that will be opened soon, it is possible for more than 2,000 students a year in the visible future.

Compared with the millions of fresh graduates in later generations, there seem to be very few "university" and "junior college" students in a year.

But 2,000 a year, 6,000 in three years, and the number of regular Jinshi students is only 600 per subject (one year in three years) and less than one-tenth of the number of students in "university" and "junior college". Moreover, the Jinshi students cannot be monopolized by the palace. There are so many scholars in the country who study the Five Classics diligently in front of the window! They are authentic scholars...

So the way out for the "Courtary Students" who are 2,000 or more (certainly more and more) every year is necessarily industry and commerce... that is, serving all evil capital! Just like the millions of college students in the later Celestial Empire, no matter how hate capital or despise merchants, most of them can only choose to be with industry and commerce. According to the standards of the Song Dynasty, these people are the last business of industry and commerce. Haha, Wu Haogu, the richest man in the Song Dynasty, was a short-sighted, despicable and shameless businessman. Those who worked and ran errands for Wu Haogu would the Song Dynasty judge them as a noble scholar?

Therefore, those new academies based on practical learning and guided by "empirical" and "rationality" are for industry and commerce, and for the arrival of capitalism.

Wu Haogu, whose soul comes from later generations, is very clear that what can truly dominate the world is not power, but science! It is the truth!

If industrial and commercial intellectuals master the science and truth that can obviously overwhelm the intellectuals of the landlord class, and when all students in the world learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well and sell to capitalists, then the one who dominates the world is actually the economic foundation of industrial and commercial capital, which determines the superstructure!
