Even though Wang Ling had been an official for so many years and done so many things, he never thought that the emperor would play like this.

What is certain is that the Academy of Sciences does belong to the government, but it is somewhat different from those yamen with management functions.

But even if they don't need to directly participate in management, they are still officials.

While His Majesty promoted the imperial examination system, he completely abandoned the imperial examination system.

On the other hand, he was doing something strange in the Academy of Sciences. Wang Ling couldn't understand this kind of thing anyway.

I don’t know why Your Majesty would do this. Isn’t it obvious that he is slapping himself in the face and demolishing himself?

Could it be that His Majesty has other arrangements?

Well, that must be the case.

Although Your Majesty cares about rules, when Your Majesty doesn't follow the rules, it turns out that Your Majesty is right.

"What's the foundation of your disciples?" Wang Ling thought for a while and asked.

"There is no big problem with the basics. In fact, there is not much difference between Luoyang Academy and County School in the early days. It will only be gradually reflected in the later stages. Besides, since they followed their son, they have been studying very hard..." Wang Ji said honestly

Said.

He was quite optimistic about these apprentices. They studied very seriously and worked very hard. The reason why he felt that they were still lacking was mainly because they had not experienced the systematic study at Luoyang Academy.

In addition, the time to follow him is not short.

Although Wang Ji had not studied for a long time at the time, he was exposed to some things in this area early because of Wang Ling's influence.

In addition, I was chased by teachers to study in class, and I already liked this, so I was able to stand out in a short period of time.

Wang Ji also admitted that there are indeed geniuses in this world, otherwise how would the emperor explain it?

But it is obvious that several of his apprentices are not among the ranks of geniuses, it is just that they work hard enough and are serious enough.

"Since there is no problem with the basics, there is no problem. Anyway, idle time is idle. You can give them each a question and let them think about it on their own, just like you did in the exam? It's just some ideas. If it's feasible, just give it.

In reality, if it doesn't work, you won't lose anything anyway, and you can just take this opportunity to examine them carefully."

Wang Ling suggested slowly, but actually he thought of more.

After hesitating for a moment, he decided to tell his son these words.

Although there are few people in the Academy of Sciences, this matter cannot be messed with.

Since the three high-ranking officials have all approached Wang Ji, there must be some inside information that they don't know about.

"If it is based on what you just said, perhaps in His Majesty's opinion, your apprentices are the next batch of candidates to enter the Academy of Sciences. You must give them this opportunity."

"Son, I understand..." Wang Ji nodded.

…

The next morning, Wang Ji came to Luoyang Academy as usual.

Because of his own fault, his eight disciples also benefited from this and were allowed to enter and exit Luoyang Academy freely.

For those who have not experienced higher education, it is undoubtedly a good thing.

They can take classes here...

Before this group of students came, the teachers in the academy were also idle, and occasionally they would help guide Wang Ji's disciples.

Although they are not formal academy students, they are actually the same as academy students. The education they receive is not bad, but they do not have student status or diplomas.

So, after entering the academy, Wang Ji called his eldest disciple over.

"Liu Ji, go talk to your junior brothers. I want to see how you are doing in your studies. Next, each of you will think of a project. You all need to know what you are doing. You can do it alone, or you can do it with several people.

, after you think about it, show me your ideas first!" Wang Ji resumed his teacher's posture.

After all, this is his apprentice.

Although I was worried, I was so panicked that I couldn't do anything.

But you can only do this kind of thing at home, or close the door and feel sad by yourself.

When in front of students, you still have to maintain that imposing manner.

"Okay teacher, please go and notify the junior brothers now!" Liu Ji nodded with his heart pounding, and hurriedly went to notify several junior brothers.

These disciples have all followed Wang Ji for nearly two years, so some details naturally do not need to be explained too much.

Wang Ji only needs to tell them and let them think about the project themselves, and they will know what to do next.

Regarding this matter, Wang Ji was still looking forward to it, but also a little nervous.

In terms of basics, they naturally have no problems. The conversation with his father last night also made Wang Ji react.

I still have not adapted well to the role of teacher, and I still look at these things with my previous eyes and thoughts.

I always feel that they have to pass the imperial examination or a large-scale examination, and when their results are good, they will be officially graduated.

Thus, a very serious problem has been ignored. In fact, as of now, their theoretical foundation is no different than what it was back then.

Maybe there are some partial subjects, but in fact I am also biased.

No one can be perfect, and no one is omnipotent.

If His Majesty hadn't given me that test question back then, would I be where I am now?

Maybe, but definitely not this fast.

However, what Wang Ji didn't expect was that no matter what the final result was, these students still brought a big surprise to themselves.

After lunch, eight students each submitted six written project plans.

Two of them are collaborative projects between two people, and the other four are solo projects.

From this point, it can be seen that these students of mine have probably considered these things a long time ago, so they submitted their answers so quickly.

Wang Ji held six project documents in his hand and felt instantly happy.

The projects of the Academy of Sciences are complex and of many types.

It can be related to the military, agriculture, or industry.

In short, as long as it has something to do with work, you can do it here.

And their ultimate goal is only one. No matter what you do, your starting point must be to consider improving efficiency.

What is improving efficiency?

To put it simply and straightforwardly, there are three points: use fewer people, produce more, and the quality must be at least the same.

As a result, Wang Ji saw project documents that he could not believe.

The industrialization of hydraulic forging machines was transferred to twine, rope, and cotton thread projects...

The industrialization of hydraulic forging machines is transferred to textile projects...

The industrialization of hydraulic forging machines is transferred to mining projects...

Three of the six projects are related to hydraulic forging machines. As a representative of high efficiency, hydraulic forging machines are naturally the equipment that the entire imperial court pays most attention to.

As Wang Ji's eldest disciple, Liu Ji inherited Wang Ji's agricultural skills.

But now that we have everything we need, it will be difficult to make breakthroughs.

So Liu Ji started thinking differently and submitted a research project on the agricultural output of Shu County, Jiangxia County and other counties being higher than other counties...

The other two are about smelting projects.

Wang Ji never expected that his student would really give him a big surprise.
