Chapter 1763: The Past of Capital University
The latest website: "Can you tell us a little bit, we don't even know what our academy was like before."
Before Du You could say anything, Li Mengyao asked curiously.
"Okay, okay, it's all about old sesame seeds and rotten millet. If you want to hear it, I'll tell you. Don't stand here, let's go in and sit." Bai Lao stretched out his hand to guide him.
"Don't dare to let senior please, senior please go first." Du You still made a humble move. Anyway, this senior gave me a very good impression, and Du You respected such an old man very much.
"Among us professionals, the most respected is the one who is the best. We are all at the same level, and your strength is stronger than mine. You don't need to be so respectful, just call me old man Bai." Bai Lao said very naturally.
Du You shook his head quickly: "Don't you dare, I'll call you Bai Lao." That's what everyone else called them.
Boss Bai laughed: "Hahahaha, such a polite junior is really rare. I don't know why those people still like to target you so much. Forget it, let's go together, don't be so polite."
Bai Lao simply strode inside, and the others followed behind.
The reception staff at the back whispered: "Master Bai is the one who likes to support the younger generation the most. Many people have received favor from Mr. Bai. It is all thanks to Mr. Bai that we have so many seventh-level professionals stationed here."
Entering the interior, everyone sat down one after another, and many people looked towards this side from a distance. Many people are very curious about Du You, a monster of the new generation.
"What you want to know, let's talk about it from the beginning. It is said that the predecessor of the Capital University was the National Academy of Sciences. In fact, it can be said that way. But at the beginning, it was the Imperial College and the Hanlin Academy."
"These organizations were originally responsible for the cultivation of talents for the entire country. At that time, because of the great changes in the world, the theory that reading is useless has become increasingly dominant, and those of us have also been affected."
"But thinking about it now, it's really useless to read too many of those books."
Unexpectedly, Bai Lao himself also thinks this way now.
According to Bai Lao's story, everyone has gradually gained some understanding of the academy back then. Because of the great changes in the world back then, seeing that the imperial power was about to fall, everyone in the court was trying to find a way out.
But the world is changing too fast,
Leading to a direct loss of control in many places.
You know, Daming had just been established at that time, and it was really helpless to become like this. There are still many who are dissatisfied with the royal family and want to rebel. In short, there is chaos everywhere.
In the end, for their own survival, scholars from the Imperial College and Imperial Academy organized together and decided to set up an academy. It is specially used to train the new generation of professionals, and it is also to instill loyalty and patriotism in the professionals.
This is also true, but the problem is that these people have completely different ideas, and there is a conflict of ideas.
Some people think that today the strong are respected and should not continue to obey the royal family. These people are the people headed by Bai Lao. They advocate freedom to improve their own strength and cultivate the strong. Because after seeing the situation in other worlds, they think that the preservation of all human beings is the most important thing, and the royal family is nothing.
These people, who seemed outright heretical to others, were eventually expelled.
So Mr. Bai led a lot of people, and everyone re-established an organization together to improve themselves. Although this organization did not exist later, it also trained many masters. According to what Bai Lao said, those who reached the eighth level at that time, plus he had two.
It is a pity that one of them died in the hands of foreign races during the foreign war, and now he is the only one left.
"It's a pity, the rest of the people are not of the same mind. Poor Grand Scholar, Mr. Wang, they have been devastated by them."
Bai Lao didn't know whether he was laughing or laughing at himself. At that time, their leader, the Grand Bachelor, organized the remaining people to continue running the school, which was the original National Academy, the predecessor of Capital University.
In the beginning, he was helped by the royal family, and he and the royal family can be regarded as one heart.
But the people inside have different ideas, especially the new generation of professionals, why should they pay for other people's lives when they have the strength. Some want to be free, some want to be famous, and still others want to be in power.
When these people formed a circle, the situation changed.
Some people gradually lost their academic ideals, and began to intrigue instead. Some people were eventually drawn in by the royal family and became part of the royal family, and the various struggles there became more intense.
There are also some people who were recruited by the aristocratic officials back then and became their people.
For the remaining people, some slowly split up and became independent, and some went to seek revenge on the original foreign race. In short, it was a very chaotic era. However, Mr. Wang, a university scholar back then, devoted himself to running the school, hoping to guide people's thinking and be an upright person. It's a pity that because he is too busy, the Grand Master doesn't have much time to practice.
By the time he reacts, he is already very old. And back then, many people did not dare to act openly due to the reputation of the Grand Scholars, but quietly made troubles secretly. As a result, the Grand Scholars died at the end of their lifespan.
The grand maester died, and the others were not restrained. Ambitious people left one after another, or formed their own organizations, or established other new academies, and began to bloom everywhere.
"Many universities today actually have the background of the National Academy of Sciences back then. Don't look at them and say nothing, because they don't want to be inferior."
Bai Lao continued. After the National Academy of Sciences was split, the remaining part was renamed Capital University, which is the current college. Of course, it was only the central part, not so big.
However, the royal family lost its biggest barrier, coupled with raids everywhere, offended many people.
The new generation doesn't take the royal family seriously, so after several years of war, the royal family just disappeared. Without the royal family, the entire land of the Central Plains would be even more chaotic.
For the sake of their ideals and to protect the land of the Central Plains, those strong men from the Capital University went out to chase and kill those who commit crimes. Because of these tasks, those strong people either died in battle, or left hidden dangers for themselves, and they didn't have much time to improve themselves. As a result, those people stopped moving forward one by one.
Those who are better can reach the seventh level, and those who are not good can reach the fifth or sixth level and cannot continue to improve. This is why there were some eighth ranks among those who split out back then, but Capital University did not have an eighth rank backer.
