I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 239: The epitome of the times

The next day, Qin Lin and Qin Erhu went together again and went to Nanjing.

However, this time Qin Lin went to buy pepper seeds, while Qin Erhu went to work in a steel plant.

"It's still a tiger, you are blessed, my dad refused to agree to me to go to the factory.

Qin Lin said with emotion that compared to growing peppers, going to the factory is much more stable. Those foremen said that they would conduct training and provide church services. But he can only grow peppers on his own, and he can't even find a teacher.

"Lin Zi, don't be discouraged. If you grow peppers well, you will be making a fortune."

The two encouraged each other and walked towards the city.

The two of them are just a microcosm of the changes of the times.

There are many people like them around Nanjing.

When their respective opportunities arise, some people with a bit of courage and courage will take the opportunity to meet various challenges.

And among them, there will definitely be some people who will break their heads, but there will certainly be people who can seize the great changes in this era, thereby changing their status and life.

The tremendous changes Wu Changqing brought to this era have greatly affected all classes of this era.

The common people are facing choices, and scholars are also facing choices.

In the new university admission notice, there are more novel subjects, such as foreign languages.

In order to meet the needs of translators in the ever-increasing overseas trade, Songjiang has opened a foreign language school early on.

However, most of those who have achieved success in their studies end up entering major commercial firms and doing things for businessmen.

Moreover, most of those people are quick translations, basically speaking but not writing.

Just a foreign language school in Songjiang can no longer meet the ever-increasing demand.

Therefore, the university has also opened foreign language courses in keeping with the times.

To learn a foreign language in a university, you must learn both spoken and written translation, which is much more difficult. However, if they are successful in their studies, their future development will also be greater.

For example, Wu Changqing said that in the future, a special diplomatic agency will be set up specifically to deal with foreign countries. If you want to be an official in this department, you must first master one or more foreign languages.

In addition to foreign languages, there is also a medical department dedicated to training doctors.

At the entrance of the Confucius Temple and the university hall, countless scholars gathered in front of the admission announcement.

"What kind of subject is this foreign language subject, and why the top three candidates in the first foreign language examinations can be awarded official posts of the sixth grade, the seventh grade and the seventh grade respectively."

A scholar was surprised that the admission announcements of other disciplines did not directly state that the top three candidates would be appointed officials. Although this is already a practice, the government has not stated it clearly after all.

And this foreign language admissions announcement, unexpectedly clearly marked the price.

As long as the top three are assessed, the officials will be awarded directly. And it's still a high-ranking official from the sixth rank, which is really tempting.

"You don't even know a foreign language, it's what a foreigner said and what Panbang said."

Another scholar explained.

"Isn't this just a dialect? How difficult is it? It's much easier than learning the Four Books and Five Classics and writing articles."

The scholar who asked the question was puzzled. He could become a sixth-rank official by learning a few dialects. There is such a good thing in the world.

Originally, he was planning to apply for physics, but now he has changed his mind and plans to study foreign languages.

Physics, because more and more people are studying now, the competition is very high.

In the last physics examination, the students who scored more than 80 points did not get official positions. When the university was founded, the physics subject could pass 80 points or more, and a seventh-rank officer would never run.

Those of them who have not seized the opportunity before, the effort needed to get ahead at this time is several times that of their predecessors.

Whenever I think of this, there are countless scholars beating their chests, and those who regret it will die.

"Learning a foreign language is still very promising. Even if you don’t pass the top three, you can work in a firm. My uncle’s firm hired a half-hearted translator. He could not write, and his monthly salary would be twelve taels. After studying in the university hall, other firms will definitely rush to ask for it. A monthly salary of 20 taels is not difficult."

Another scholar also inserted a sentence, which made many scholars who were already tempted to make up their minds.

The monthly salary is twenty taels, which is already a month's salary for a sixth-grade official position.

Of course, the biggest advantage of being an official is not the salary, but the ability to use power to accumulate money.

A job with a monthly salary of 20 taels is definitely not as good as a sixth-rank official position, or even worse than an 8-rank official position.

However, as long as you don't compare it with those who are in office, the job of twenty taels a month is definitely the top job of this era.

Some students from poor backgrounds are still very satisfied with this job.

"Medical sciences, we scholars, why are we going to become doctors."

Among the many discussions, some scholars expressed dissatisfaction.

In this era when everything is inferior and only a high school, no occupation is more noble than a school official. As a result, many scholars look down on other industries.

Even doctors who can save lives, when they are not sick, these scholars would not take a look.

Now that they are required to study medicine and become doctors, some scholars feel insulted.

"What's wrong with being a doctor? A good job in any profession is the way out. The hospital magistrate is a fourth-rank official, and the imperial doctor is a sixth-rank official. The governor said that future hospital magistrates must be people who understand medical skills. Moreover, in the future, even if they are just ordinary doctors, the imperial court will give the eighth-grade subsidies and status treatment."

It was Wei Ziwen who was speaking. He had just come out of the university hall and heard this kind of disparaging remarks about medical skills, and immediately refuted it.

"I have seen Master Wei."

Many scholars salute, and now Wei Ziwen is also famous in Nanjing. Although his official position is not very high, his articles often appear in the eyes of the public because of the people's newspaper he is responsible for.

Therefore, his reputation is much higher than that of other officials.

Moreover, he was also a student of Wu Changqing, and he was the first batch of people to be appointed officials in the university hall. It is said that he was very trusted by Wu Changqing. He is a celebrity around Wu Changqing, and his promotion in the future is certain.

"The Governor personally gave me instructions to let a hundred flowers bloom. The traditional talents of classics are needed by the Governor, and the talents in new disciplines are needed by the Governor. The Governor also needs talents in unpopular disciplines such as foreign languages ​​and medicine.

No matter what subject you choose, you must study carefully, earnestly specialize in research, and be at the top of the crowd. As long as you can achieve good results, your future will naturally be a smooth one. "

Wei Ziwen also learned some methods from Wu Changqing, and would also inspire others through speeches.

His remarks excited many scholars who wanted to choose foreign languages ​​and medicine.

Wei Ziwen's words are tantamount to giving them a reassurance that they can focus on their studies.

Even some of the more traditional scholars were excited.

They were worried that Wu Changqing was too partial to new disciplines, and that the traditional Four Books and Five Classics had no way out. But after seeing Wei Ziwen, they found that continuing to study the traditional Four Books and Five Classics does not seem to be a dead end.

As long as you learn well, you can still be an official, just like Wei Ziwen.
