Chapter 542 Where did this idiot from at the Imperial Academy come from?
Seeing Yang Shaofeng's bewildered expression, Wang Guangyang felt much more at ease.
The Zhu Emperor, sitting in the main seat, grinned widely, looking disgustingly pleased.
Yang Shaofeng blinked.
You two seem to be having a good time, right?
I hope you two can keep it up.
Yang Shaofeng shook his head with feigned helplessness and said, "University? It's a school in Dengzhou, prepared for students who have completed their studies at the prefectural school."
"It includes different colleges such as the School of Medicine, School of Civil Engineering, School of Chemical Engineering, School of Materials Science and Engineering, and School of Mining, and further subdivides into different majors such as Pharmacy, Medicine, Geology, and Architecture based on each college."
Upon hearing the names of so many colleges and majors, Wang Guangyang immediately wiped his mouth with his sleeve.
If I could facilitate the establishment of a university in Jinan...
This is far from just being remembered in history; it's at least destined to be celebrated for eternity in Jinan!
Wang Guangyang became more and more excited as he thought about it, but Yang Shaofeng changed the subject and sighed, "If we want to build a university in Jinan, the first problem we need to solve is to find a large enough open space."
"Now that we have enough land to build a university, the next step is to have enough teachers, such as those who teach medicine, metallurgy and iron smelting, mining, and how to make harvesters and other agricultural tools."
"Many subjects need teachers."
"But even with teachers, there still needs to be enough students."
“Each student needs at least four years of study time, and medical students need five or even seven years.”
"..."
After a slight pause, Yang Shaofeng added, "Provincial Governor Wang overlooked one issue."
Wang Guangyang was slightly taken aback and asked, "What's the problem?"
Yang Shaofeng said, "The Imperial College."
"His Majesty and His Highness the Crown Prince have issued an edict to split up the Imperial Academy, so that each provincial administration commission in the country will have a school affiliated with the Imperial Academy."
"The Imperial Academy of Shandong Province will inevitably be located in Jinan Prefecture."
Yang Shaofeng smiled meaningfully: "If we establish a university now, what will happen to the Imperial Academy later..."
Wang Guangyang was completely dumbfounded.
Where did the Imperial College come from?
Jinan University is my sweetheart, you bastard!
Just as Wang Guangyang was wailing in his heart and even wanted to burst into tears, Emperor Zhu snorted coldly and said, "Actually, this is fine too."
"Let the Imperial College complete its dismantling and relocation first."
"Four years later, the students of Dengzhou University will have almost completed their studies and can be transferred to teach. At the same time, the roads and workshops in Jinan Prefecture should be almost finished. Then, we can use the Imperial Academy as a foundation to fully develop the university."
"In this way, we can say that we can do both without any problems."
Wang Guangyang's eyes lit up, and he immediately bowed to Emperor Zhu, saying, "Your Majesty is wise and sagacious!"
We'll wait four years, that's fine!
In any case, even if Jinan University were established now, the Shandong Provincial Administration Commission wouldn't have enough money to support it. It would be better to wait four years before doing so.
Let's see what excuse Yang the madman will have then!
……
Beijing.
The plaque that originally stood at the entrance of the Imperial College with only the three characters "Imperial College" has now been replaced with a plaque with the five characters "Yingtian Imperial College".
The once bustling academy was now sparsely populated, and the former glory was gone.
Li Shanchang looked up at the plaque that read "Yingtian Imperial Academy" and sighed deeply, saying, "This place will be the Imperial Academy of Yingtian Prefecture from now on."
Standing next to Li Shanchang, Zhu Biao smiled and said, "Yes, this place will be the Imperial Academy of Yingtian Prefecture from now on."
After a slight pause, Zhu Biao smiled and said, "A National Academy that is everywhere is much better than one National Academy in the capital."
Looking at Zhu Biao's expression, Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen exchanged a glance, both sensing that Zhu Biao had something on his mind.
In fact, Zhu Biao did have some things on his mind.
For example, Terengganu Medical College and that so-called Terengganu University.
What kind of impact will these two schools have on the Imperial College?
If medical schools and universities are everywhere, what is the point of the Imperial College?
Zhu Biao, Li Shanchang, and Liu Bowen stood in front of the Imperial College gate for a long time before returning to the palace.
Upon returning to the palace, the Office of Transmission handed over a large number of impeachment memorials.
Zhu Biao simply couldn't believe the contents of the memorial he had seen.
The magistrate of Jinghai County submitted a memorial impeaching the magistrate of Luan County, and the magistrate of Leting County submitted a memorial impeaching the magistrate of Zunhua County.
No way, what the hell is this?
Jinghai was a county under the jurisdiction of Beiping Prefecture, while Luanxian was a county under the jurisdiction of Yongping Prefecture.
Leting was a county under the jurisdiction of Yongping Prefecture, while Zunhua was a county under the jurisdiction of Beiping Prefecture.
Of course, these are not the key issues.
The key point is that the magistrate of Jinghai County was named Zhou Chengren, the magistrate of Luan County was named Zhou Liangyu, the magistrate of Leting County was named Wang Zhaohu, and the magistrate of Zunhua County was named Geng Xingming. All four of them were second-class Jinshi (successful candidates in the highest imperial examination) in the Xinhai year of the Hongwu reign (1381), and all of them came from Ningyang County School.
They were from the same hometown, born in the same year, taught by the same teacher, and were all students of the emperor. It would not be surprising if the four of them formed cliques, but it would be surprising if they impeached each other and fought amongst themselves.
Suppressing his curiosity, Zhu Biao opened Zhou Chengren's memorial and continued reading.
"Impeach Zhou Liangyu, the magistrate of Luan County, for forcibly plundering the people."
Looking at Zhou Liangyu's memorial, it reads "Impeaching the magistrate of Jinghai County for forcibly plundering the people."
The two memorials were largely similar, both impeaching the other party for misconduct, including leading their respective county constables to Beiping Prefecture to plunder and relocate people.
Zhu Biao stared blankly at the several memorials for a long time, feeling a sense of bewilderment—he recognized each word individually, but couldn't understand them when put together.
"What kind of mess is this!"
After casually having someone hand the memorial to Li Shanchang, Zhu Biao rubbed his forehead and sighed, "If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have preferred to leave them all in the capital... Oh well, it's fine this way too."
Li Shanchang took the memorial with a bewildered look on his face, but closed his eyes after only glancing at it a few times, clearly unable to bear looking at it.
Damn it, thank goodness none of those bastards are in the capital.
Otherwise, wouldn't they drive me crazy?
Liu Bowen curiously took the memorial from Li Shanchang, but after just one glance, the smile on Liu Bowen's face froze completely.
In order to bring more people into their own counties, the four county magistrates actually led their yamen runners to Beiping Prefecture to snatch people.
No.
Is there any royal law?
Are there any laws?
How come Ningyang County is full of such audacious scoundrels!
No, this behavior must be severely punished, otherwise who knows what these four bastards might do!
With a dark expression, Liu Bowen bowed to Zhu Biao and said, "Your Highness, these four magistrates should be severely punished. However, considering their loyalty and concern for the people, I believe a small punishment will suffice as a warning."
