Now, all the candidates in the capital feel that it is a great honor to come here early. Not only can they watch the Oiran Contest, but they can also adapt to the new imperial examination system in advance, and even see many new things in the examination room.
Originally, after the imperial examination, some of the candidates who failed would choose to stay in the capital.
But after this exam, most candidates will probably choose to return to their hometowns.
The reason is very simple. They want to go back to their hometown to chat with their fellow villagers who were unable to take the imperial examination and brag about what they have seen and heard in the capital during this period.
With this experience as a foundation, I won’t have to worry about food and drink in the coming days.
Candidates could go to the examination venue one day in advance, which was unheard of in the history of the imperial examinations in the Great Qi Dynasty.
Sun Jijiu got up very early today. He found his most expensive piece of clothing and, with the help of his old servant, combed his hair neatly.
When visiting the examination hall for the first time, Sun Jijiu planned to lead the team himself.
He and Lu Chen were not on good terms, and he was even more disdainful of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Today, he wanted to personally see what the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which Lu Chen was so proud of, was really like.
That’s right, Sun Jijiu was there to find fault. If he found anything he was not satisfied with today, he would criticize it harshly in front of all the candidates watching the examination, letting them know that in the final analysis, it still depends on the Imperial College.
Looking at the examinees who had gathered at the gate early, Sun Jijiu said with a sullen face, "When you go there today, you must maintain your demeanor and be elegant. You must display the spirit of our Imperial College. Don't get all excited about something new and surprising, and act like you're uninformed. Just remember, these are just some gimmicks, not the path to greatness!"
After saying that, Sun Jijiu waved his hand and took the lead to get on the carriage, looking like a gang boss.
At the same time, Director Cao also led students from the two museums towards the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Before leaving, what he said was almost the same as what Sun Jijiu said.
Coincidentally, both parties arrived at the gate of the Chinese Academy of Sciences at the same time, and there was a faint smell of gunpowder in the air.
Fortunately, the Master's statue was placed at the entrance of the Imperial College. After both sides led their students to pay their respects to the Master, Sun Jijiu couldn't help but be the first to ask, "What about the people from the Chinese Academy of Sciences? How are they arranged? How will the candidates enter the examination hall to visit? Shouldn't there be a first-come, first-served system? Didn't you prepare a set schedule in advance? Don't you have anyone to lead the way? Your organizational skills are terrible."
"Where's Lu Chen? Let him come out. With so many of us visiting this place, shouldn't he greet us? Is there any etiquette?"
One is the imperial teacher of the current dynasty, and the other is the chief academic officer of the Imperial College. Logically speaking, neither of them is higher than the other in status.
But Sun Jijiu felt that since he was older than Lu Chen, he had the qualifications to take advantage of Qiao.
Who knew that just as he finished speaking, Li Xiang came out from the gate of the Chinese Academy of Sciences with a smile on his face and said, "Disciple Li Xiang, I am honored to meet you."
Sun Jijiu had never expected Li Xiang to be here. He hurriedly straightened his clothes and returned the greeting, saying, "This old man greets His Royal Highness the Prince."
Li Xiang walked forward with a smile, reached out to hold Sun Jijiu's hand and said, "Jijiu, there's no need for this. Master is busy today and has asked me to come and receive you all. Please follow me."
It hurts!
Looking at Li Xiang who was walking in front leading the way, Sun Jijiu felt extremely uncomfortable all over.
Li Xiang used to study at the Imperial College, and even now she goes there every now and then to ask some teachers for advice.
This clever little prince should have been branded as an imperial academy member, but now he has been poached by that evil Taoist Lu Chen. Just thinking about it makes Sun Jijiu want to beat his chest and stamp his feet.
What made Sun Jijiu even more uncomfortable was that he originally wanted to confront Lu Chen directly today, but who would have thought that Lu Chen would actually push the little prince out.
If you say that the little prince's status is not noble enough and he is not qualified to handle this matter, then you are definitely lying with your eyes open.
However, considering the little prince's age, Sun Jijiu felt very uncomfortable as he had to communicate with him as an equal.
However, Sun Jijiu soon had no time to feel sad, because including him, everyone who came to visit this time was stunned by the magnificent building before them!
Led by Li Xiang, everyone passed through the screen wall and walked into the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The first thing that caught their eyes was a large square. Various beautiful flowers were planted around the square, and there was a flagpole in the middle.
The dragon flag of the Great Qi Dynasty fluttered on the flagpole, giving it an air of dominance that looked down on everyone.
Looking past the flagpole, you can see three towering buildings standing before you.
At this time, Li Zhuo said, "The building opposite us is the main building of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Its main function is to conduct various experiments. Whether it is the subsequent research of Sheng'endan or various advanced technologies, they all come from this place."
"The building on the left is the office building of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Some of the main project leaders work here, and many major project decisions of the Chinese Academy of Sciences are made here. Many of the projects that benefit the country and the people that you have heard of were all incubated here."
"As for the building on the right, this is the library we just built. Its main function is to store various experimental materials and many important classics. The Chinese Academy of Sciences has already moved all the royal classics here, and we have also copied the collections of the Imperial College and the Hongwenguan."
When it comes to copying the collection of books, Sun Jijiu's heart bleeds. He is firmly opposed to this matter, but he can't resist the emperor's edict.
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
