Wu Changqing was really awarded an official, and he started from the sixth-rank, even the fifth-rank herbalist. The starting point was too high, and many students found it incredible.
In the past, in the imperial examination, even if it was a champion, it had to start with the sixth-rank Hanlin.
And now, Guan Mengfei, who is ranked only 20th in total, has directly won a five-grade doctor, and has also been rewarded with five thousand taels of silver. This really exceeded many people's expectations.
For an article level like Guan Mengfei, it is a super level performance to participate in the imperial examination to be admitted to a third-class Jinshi. And now, he got a higher start than the top pick.
Many students are excited because they know that this is just the beginning. As long as they study hard and get a good result in the next exam, they can get an official position.
Some even smarter people, from Wu Changqing’s awards, found that Wu Changqing prefers people with excellent grades in miscellaneous subjects.
A total of six people were awarded official posts this time, among which Wei Ziwen was the only one who achieved excellent results in Confucian classics, and the others were outstanding in miscellaneous subjects. Among them, Ye Jinliang, who won the sixth rank, was even the last one in Confucian classics.
Since learning miscellaneous subjects can quickly become an official, and the study of Confucianism has become unimportant, then what else is the study of Confucianism? The most correct way is to spend time studying the classics on miscellaneous studies.
Many people have secretly prepared to adjust their strategies, preparing to focus on studying physics and arithmetic and other miscellaneous subjects.
After announcing the award, Wu Changqing, Shen Lianming and others went to another room to discuss the next teaching work.
As soon as the adults and teachers left, the students began to become active.
"Congratulations to brother Wei, congratulations to brother Wei."
"Brother Li's words are wrong. Now we can no longer call Brother Ziwen and Brother Wei, we have to call Master Wei."
The fifth-rank official and the sixth-rank official are already middle-level officials in a country, and they start at the fifth-rank. In the future, as long as they don't make mistakes, it is only a matter of time before they rise to the third-rank and second-rank. They are the core stratum of a country.
How could other people not envy this kind of life.
"This is all thanks to the Governor's appreciation. Although I have an official status now, our colleagues don't need to be so productive."
Wei Ziwen laughed and said that he was also a little surprised by this result. He was not outstanding in terms of total score, but in the end he also got a good official position.
Some people ranked ahead of him in total scores, but got nothing.
"Brother Feng, what's the matter with the Governor? It is obvious that your total score and sub-subject are the first, why didn't you give you an official?"
Liu Tao held a grievance for Feng Xianzhong, but Feng Xianzhong himself didn't particularly care.
He believed that Wu Changqing must have had other plans for not appointing an official to himself, not because of his incompetence.
As a genius, he still has this confidence.
Ignoring the comfort of others, Feng Xianzhong just continued to read the book silently.
Similar to him is also related to Meng Fei, even if he has already obtained an official position, and has also received a huge amount of silver reward of five thousand taels, but he does not seem very happy, and continues to indulge in a drawing.
That was the blueprint sent to him by Wu Changqing, on which was the technology of howitzer shells. Wu Changqing asked him to specialize in research and then make this thing.
Howitzers are the kind of shells that can be exploded after they fly out. The current shells fly out are large iron balls. The momentum is very scary, but the lethality is actually extremely limited.
The howitzer is different. It flies over the enemy's head and explodes, the effect is the same as a grenade. The difference is that the charge in a shell is ten times more than that in a grenade.
When this kind of shell exploded, the damage range could reach more than ten meters, which was very terrifying.
Of course, the technical content of this shell is also very high. If the iron shell is too thick, it will not make a sound, and if it is too thin, it will easily explode in the barrel. Moreover, how to ignite is also a big problem.
Wu Changqing lit up this technology and knew the principle of manufacturing, but there are still some difficulties in making it by hand.
Moreover, it was impossible for him to personally handle such a dangerous matter, so he left it to Guan Mengfei to study.
Guan Mengfei didn't dare to care about the tasks that Wu Changqing personally explained. After accepting the reward, he hurried to the Weapon Shop, he needed the cooperation and experimentation of craftsmen.
Before long, Feng Xianzhong was also called to the back room, and Wu Changqing personally arranged work for him.
"The reason why I didn't appoint you an official is because I don't want to waste your talent. You don't need to worry, as long as you have completed what I explained, you will at least be a Guozijian Jijiu from now on. When you have enough knowledge, I still have some very important projects for you. If you can invent and improve something I need like Guan Mengfei, let alone an official position, I will prepare it for you."
Wu Changqing attaches great importance to Feng Xianzhong. This is a very rare genius.
In the future, I am afraid I will leave it to him to make things like steam engines.
Wu Changqing can only provide theories and technological processes, and the actual hands-on work must rely on talents like Feng Xianzhong, Guan Mengfei and others.
"Students follow the teachings."
Faced with this man who was a few years younger than himself, Feng Xianzhong was very respectful. On the one hand, it is because of Wu Changqing's power and achievements, and on the other hand, he admires Wu Changqing's talents.
He had some contempt for Wu Changqing in the past, but after reading the physics books written by Wu Changqing, he never dared to have such thoughts.
Moreover, now Wu Changqing has promised him the official title, which makes him have to be grateful.
Guozijian Jijiu is a senior official from the fourth rank, about equal to the president of Peking University in later generations, and his status is very high.
"This is the intermediate physics that I wrote. You should study it carefully. If you don't understand, you can come to my house to find me. Usually I leave Suzhou for something, and you will take the place of physics to teach those students."
Wu Changqing handed him a middle-level physics book, and the content on it began to become more profound, including complex mechanical motions and principles, as well as basic electromagnetics.
Feng Xianzhong was ecstatic when he heard the words, and he could come to the government office for advice at any time. Not everyone can enjoy this honor.
And this intermediate physics made him even more precious. Now that he has studied elementary physics, he has more questions about the world, and he is eager to find answers.
As for letting him take the place of lessons, it raised his identity to a level and distinguished him from other students.
"Students must study hard."
Feng Xianzhong said.
"Well, spend all your time on this, as well as study arithmetic. As for the classics, there is no need to waste time, it is of no use to you."
Wu Changqing was also very dissatisfied with Feng Xianzhong's Confucianism exam. This is not a waste of talent. This kind of brain is really a waste of studying the Four Books and Five Classics.
Feng Xianzhong was speechless when he heard the words. He didn't know why his governor hated Confucianism so much. But since Wu Changqing spoke in person, he can completely abandon the study of Confucian classics in the future.
