Chapter 387 Attracting Foreign Population to Live in
The purpose of holding the general exchange conference is to test the students' mastery of the knowledge they have learned. In this competition, the top three in each subject will not only receive huge cash rewards, but also receive precious certificates of honor issued by the government.
At first, according to Lin Chuyi's original plan, the competition was limited to students from vocational colleges and imperial examination colleges.
However, after careful consideration, she changed her mind and relaxed the entry requirements to include students currently studying in academies across the country, as well as scholars who had already achieved academic success.
In this way, students from other places will also have the opportunity to sign up and compete for generous prizes and high honors in various subjects.
The new rules seem to be somewhat disadvantageous to local students. In recent times, the three states have welcomed a large number of foreign students, which has made the competition extremely fierce. It has greatly increased the difficulty for local students to win the top three places.
After all, more participants means more brutal competition, and their chances of success will naturally decrease accordingly.
But Lin Chuyi didn't think so. She founded both the vocational college and the imperial examination college. She knew very well the level of the students in the colleges. She didn't think that the outstanding students she cultivated would be inferior to those from outside.
Even if we take a step back and say that in the end the competition was won by the outside students, it doesn't matter. It can be regarded as a wake-up call to the students in the college, telling them with facts what "there are always people who are better than you" means.
Of course, the most important thing is that such a move is equivalent to sending a signal to the outside world that the Imperial Examination Academy welcomes students from all over the country to join.
The emergence of the Imperial Examination Academy was only to cultivate more and better high-quality official talents for the Great Chu. It was not and would not become a tool for party struggles in the court.
With the concerted efforts of all departments, the first all-subject exchange competition came to a perfect end, and the final result was almost what Lin Chuyi had expected.
In various competitions in the field of literature, students from the imperial examination academies and students from outside the country were evenly matched and it was difficult to tell who was better.
However, in other competitions besides literature, foreign students were completely unable to compete with local students. Not to mention vocational college students, they were far behind, and even students from the imperial examination academy could easily leave them far behind.
The result of this competition was both expected and unexpected. For Lin Chuyi, everything was under control, but for the foreign students, it was a heavy blow.
Their self-confidence was greatly frustrated, and their former high spirits and ambitions were gone. As a result, they began to reflect deeply on their shortcomings and actively seek ways to improve.
Just at this time, at Lin Chuyi's suggestion, the Imperial Examination Academy issued a joint statement.
The statement said that the Imperial Examination Academy warmly welcomes students from all over the world to come for exchanges and studies, and also welcomes them to join the Imperial Examination Academy family.
As long as you hold a junior college diploma, you can enroll in the Imperial College without having to change your household registration to become a resident of the Sanzhou area.
As soon as this news came out, many foreign students began to become interested. With this statement, they could successfully enter the imperial examination academy and receive formal education based on their status as outsiders.
When you have achieved success in your studies, you can return to your hometown to prepare for the exam. With the good foundation laid by the imperial examination academy, it will no longer be difficult to surpass those candidates of the same level in your hometown.
After they passed the imperial examination and obtained the qualification for the joint examination, they could come to Beijing to take the examination in the name of their hometown.
If one could achieve excellent results in the metropolitan examination and the palace examination, it would undoubtedly be a very glorious thing for the state capital where one lives.
Not only can he bring honor to his family, but he can also get the support of his family. His career will be smooth and he will rise to prominence. Such a bright prospect, just imagining it makes one's heart surge and get excited!
However, if one had to obtain a household registration in the Three States in order to enter the Imperial Examination Academy, the situation would be completely different.
This would mean that they could only take the imperial examinations in Sanzhou as students of Sanzhou in the future. Not only that, the competition pressure would be extremely huge, and if they stayed here alone, they would probably face all kinds of inconveniences and difficulties.
Now that the last of their worries had been eliminated, they were naturally very happy to stay and become a member of the Imperial Examination Academy.
As a result, the Three States welcomed a large number of scholars from other places to live there for a long time. In fact, these scholars were not the first batch of foreign residents accepted by the Three States.
As the number of graduates from vocational colleges continues to increase, more and more professional talents are joining various industries, and local competition in the three states is becoming increasingly fierce.
Some people, realizing that they cannot compete with their peers, simply find another way out and go to other states to look for new opportunities and development space.
Thanks to the professional knowledge they learned in vocational colleges, these people have a clear advantage when competing with their counterparts in other states.
Whether graduates are engaged in the catering industry, clothing production, carpentry and other fields, some have achieved outstanding achievements and made their mark in other states.
However, these people simply chose to seek development opportunities in other places, and did not move their registered permanent residences out. Therefore, they still retain their resident status in the three states.
In the process, they never tried to hide or conceal the fact that they were from the three states. When asked by others, they would even frankly introduce their hometowns.
However, their description of the three states was very different from the inherent impression of the local people. Some people thought that they were just talking nonsense out of vanity and did not take these words to heart.
However, there is another group of people who became very interested in their descriptions and actually embarked on a journey to the Tri-State area, eager to see with their own eyes whether the place was really as beautiful as described by the other party.
When they arrived in the Tri-State area and lived there for a while, they were amazed. After learning all the information they wanted to know, they returned to their hometowns with the local specialties they bought in the Tri-State area.
They could not wait to tell their fellow villagers about what they had seen and heard along the way. When they learned that those people had learned their skills in vocational colleges in the three states, and that the admission requirements of vocational colleges were only to meet the two requirements of being a local and having a junior college certificate, many local people began to think about moving their families to the three states.
The reason why they have such thoughts is actually very simple. Although their current life is not bad, it is just barely enough to make ends meet. If there is a chance, who doesn't want to live a better life?
What's more, there are vocational colleges in the three states that specialize in teaching various skills. As long as you study for a few years and successfully graduate from the college, you can make a living by relying on the skills you have learned.
You have to know that what vocational colleges teach are all genuine skills. Look at the shops opened by Lanzhou people in the local area. Which one of them is not full of customers and has a booming business? They must be making a lot of money.
If they themselves can live such a good life, why would they need to worry about their children's marriage?
The more the local people thought about it, the more excited they became. After discussing with their families, some families soon made the important decision to sell all their property and move their families to the three states.
With the first person trying it out, there will naturally be a second, a third, and so on...
At this moment, the Three States area is in a golden period of vigorous development. If someone is willing to take the initiative to join in, become a part of this land, and work hand in hand with everyone to build the Three States area, for Lin Chuyi, it is simply a blessing in disguise, so she will accept everyone who comes.
