Chapter 230 Different Choices



The teacher smiled and replied, “It’s mainly the basics of mathematics and physics.

But don’t worry, we will teach you from the basics, and as long as you work hard, you will definitely be able to master this skill.”

At the same time, the electrical engineering booth was also surrounded by curious students.

A young man in a white robe with a handsome face asked curiously, "Sir, can the lightning in the sky be used by us humans?"

The electrical engineering teacher nodded and smiled, "Yes, classmate, the power of thunder and lightning you mentioned is one of the important topics we study in electrical engineering.

Through study and practice, you will be able to master how to use electricity safely and effectively to light up the world, drive machines, and even create lightning."

The young man was deeply attracted by the teacher's description. There was a gleam in his eyes, as if he had already seen that bright future.

The booths of chemical engineering and civil engineering were also bustling with activity.

Teachers used various experimental materials and architectural models to show students the mysteries of chemistry and the charm of architecture.

"Look at this chemical reaction, it's amazing!" exclaimed a female student in a green dress.

Oh, by the way, Mingda Academy also accepts female students. Although there are only a few who come to take the exam, there are still hundreds of people.

Firstly, the distinction between men and women in this era was not as serious as in later generations. Secondly, there were many women who wanted to make a name for themselves.

"Yes! I didn't expect that these seemingly ordinary substances could undergo such wonderful changes." Her companion also echoed.

In front of the civil engineering booth, a tall male student with a resolute face was carefully studying an architectural model.

He asked his teacher, "This bridge is so cleverly designed! Teacher, what are the requirements for studying civil engineering?"

The teacher patiently replied, “Studying civil engineering requires rigorous thinking and a solid mathematical foundation.

At the same time, you also need to have an innovative spirit and practical ability. Because architecture is not only art, but also the crystallization of science and technology."

As time goes by, more and more students have found their favorite majors.

They either gathered around the teacher to ask questions or gathered together to exchange experiences. Everyone was full of longing and expectation for the future.

But the most popular one is the stall of classics, history, and literature located in a corner of the square.

This place looks very deserted, but it cannot resist the fact that in the Tang Dynasty, studying and learning were the mainstream of society and what people wanted.

After all, for most readers, although strange and clever skills are quite magical, they are not as able to make people calm down and gain spiritual satisfaction as the classics, history, and collections.

What's more, if one can pass the examination of classics, history, and literature, he can become a student of the Princess Protector of the Nation's Mansion and have the opportunity to enter the officialdom. This is the destination that many scholars dream of!

Of course, the above point was inferred by the students present.

This is because although Mingda Academy enrolls thousands of students every year, there are only 20 to 30 students majoring in classics, history, and literature. Isn't this the place where the Princess Huguo's Mansion uses to train her close ministers and disciples?

Therefore, although the stalls selling classics, history, and literature are located in remote areas, they are still popular.

At this time, a middle-aged scholar was sitting behind the stall. He had a calm face and deep eyes, as if he could see through people's hearts.

A student in a blue shirt mustered up the courage to step forward, bowed, and asked, "Sir, how can I apply for the major of Classics, History, Philosophy, and Mir 2?"

The middle-aged scholar raised his head and glanced at him indifferently. His eyes seemed to be able to see through all appearances and look directly into people's hearts.

He spoke slowly, his voice steady and powerful: "If you want to apply for the Classics, History, Philosophy and Mir 2 major, you need to pass a special assessment."

The student in green robes felt a pang of anxiety and asked hurriedly, "Excuse me, sir, will this test be difficult?"

The middle-aged scholar smiled slightly, and this smile seemed to contain unfathomable meanings: "The difficulty varies from person to person.

For students who truly love the classics, history, and literature and have some understanding of them, it may not be difficult.

But for those who only seek gain and lack true knowledge, it is as difficult as ascending to heaven."

These words caused a great shock in the heart of the Qingshan student.

He originally thought that as long as he had enough knowledge, he could easily pass the test, but now it seems that this test is not simple.

He took a deep breath and said firmly, "I am willing to accept the test. Please give me your guidance, sir."

The middle-aged scholar nodded, signaling him to be patient: "The content of the examination is the understanding and interpretation of a classic.

You need to write a thoughtful article within the allotted time. The title is 'On Benevolence and Ritual in the Analects of Confucius.'

The student in blue robes fell silent after hearing this. He had originally thought the test would be a simple recitation or dictation, but he hadn't expected it to involve writing an essay on the classics.

This was undoubtedly a huge challenge for him, but he also understood that this was the time to test his true abilities.

So, the student in green clothes resolutely believed in himself and bowed to the middle-aged scholar, saying, "Sir, I am willing to accept this test. No matter what the result is, at least I tried my best."

The middle-aged scholar smiled with satisfaction after hearing this: "Very good, you have great ambition. Remember, no matter what the outcome, you must maintain your love and pursuit of learning."

The test began. The student in blue took a deep breath and began writing furiously.

He talked about his understanding and insights into benevolence and propriety in the Analects of Confucius in a fluent and profound manner.

Seeing this, the other students present also bowed to the middle-aged scholar and asked to take the test.

The middle-aged scholar smiled and nodded, agreeing to all the requests.

So, nearly a thousand students present took out their pens, ink, paper and inkstones, then sat cross-legged in the square and began their respective discussions.

Even the noise from other majors around them cannot affect their progress.

Time passed slowly, and suddenly a louder sound came from outside the school gate.

Many students taking the test were suddenly awakened and subconsciously turned their heads to look.

I found that another large group of students were running in from outside the school gate, and excitedly rushed to the stalls that were still recruiting students.

The students who took part in the scientific examination immediately understood that these more than a thousand students should be those who scored 99 points.

I didn't expect time to pass so quickly. An hour had passed in the blink of an eye.

Some clever students turned their heads to look at the professional booths and found that one-fifth of the stalls were gone.

It seems that many subjects are already full of students.

This scene immediately shook many students who were taking the imperial examinations in classics, history, philosophy and literature.

After all, this major only accepts twenty to thirty people, but there are nearly a thousand talented people taking the exam.

They knew in their hearts that although everyone had a love for the classics, history, and literature.

But in the end, only a few people can stand out.
