Huizong mobilized his troops and came to the Academy of Sciences of the Song Dynasty. He originally wanted to ask for guilt, but he did not expect this result.

Still a happy outcome for everyone.

Zong Shu handed over all the match production technology and business to Liang Shidao, which was equivalent to giving Huizong a cornucopia.

Zong Shu also boasted that he wanted an apprentice like Su Yi to pass the first prize, which was equivalent to giving Huizong another one million taels of silver.

At the same time, Cai Jing was also given three hundred thousand taels of silver.

Chen Guoting and Li Ruoshui didn't participate in this bet because they didn't have much money. They could easily spend hundreds of thousands or millions. How could they have the nerve to reveal their little wealth?

The underlying reason is that both Chen Guoting and Li Ruoshui have the unique aloofness of literati, and they always use money to talk things over, which is an insult to politeness.

Although Wang Fu, Chen Guoting and Li Ruoshui did not participate and could not benefit from the bet, they believed that Guo Shu would lose 100%.

If Zong Shu loses the bet and loses his money, this guy will be dealt a heavy blow.

The main reason why this guy is so crazy is that he was very lucky in the past and has never been beaten by reality.

You can totally see how miserable Zong Shu will be after he loses a month later.

Therefore, although Wang Fu, Chen Guoting and Li Ruoshui were criticized, they were still very happy.

…

Zong Shu called Su Yi over alone.

The other fourteen students were very envious that Su Yi could get guidance from Zong Shu.

Lin Lingsu once said that there was a student named Su Yi who answered the questions best and his handwriting was also the most beautiful.

Zong Shu was very interested in such people.

When asked, Su Yi said that his ancestor had been a county magistrate, but later his family fell into decline. He did not like being arranged by his family since he was a child. He had a headache when he mentioned school and exploded when he mentioned school.

Su Yi often skipped classes, went up trees to dig out bird's nests, went down to the river to fish for small fish, and sometimes watched ants move around all day long.

As soon as I saw the "Science Questions and Answers" published in the Song Dynasty Times, I rushed over.

When he came here, he was impressed by the atmosphere of the Song Academy of Sciences, and he liked the atmosphere here very much.

Especially the huge stones standing on both sides of the Academy of Sciences of the Song Dynasty. There are two lines of words engraved on the stones:

"Agriculture is the foundation of a country; science and technology is the foundation of a strong country."

"Carry forward the spirit of craftsman and cultivate craftsmen of great countries."

In addition, the teachers in the college were doing experiments seriously, and these experimental equipment were something he had never seen before.

All of this made him seem to have found the value of life and the destination of his dreams.

Hearing this, Zong Shu was very happy, he is a fellow-traveler!

This is simply amazing! What a talent! What does it mean to study things? This is it!

After hearing that Su Yi was good at arithmetic, Zong Shu decided to test him.

I came up with a question that will cause headaches for primary school students in the future: There are two pipes in a pool, one for water in and one for water out. How long does it take to fill or empty the pool?

Su Yi took out a dozen calculation chips and didn't list any equations. He just waved them around and finally gave the correct answer, which surprised Zong Shu.

This guy can even figure out this kind of problem. In the future, he can win the National Olympiad gold medal.

Su Yi looked at Zong Shu with amusement.

I didn't believe it, so Zong Shu took out a problem from the mathematician Gauss, adding from one to one hundred.

Su Yi still used his calculations and finally calculated the result.

It can be seen that Su Yi's method is similar to the principle of abacus.

Su Yi was still very proud, so Zong Shu decided to give him a small blow.

"You figured it out, but your method was too stupid and took too long," Zong Shu said, "This kind of arithmetic is an instant kill for me!"

Zong Shu told Su Yi about concepts such as "arithmetic sequence" and "tolerance", and finally came up with the "summation formula of arithmetic sequence".

No matter how much you add, as long as you apply this formula, it will really be an instant kill.

Seeing this formula, Su Yi was extremely impressed.

When Su Yi first came to the academy to hand over his answers, Lin Lingsu told him the basic knowledge of optics.

Lin Lingsu solved several of Su Yi's problems with light at once, but Lin Lingsu said that compared to his master Zong Shu, he was like a drop of water to the ocean.

"When you pass the first prize, I will let you serve as a mathematics teacher in the college." Zong Shu said.

Su Yi thought to himself, did Zong Shu really ask him to take the first prize? Isn't this a joke?

"Su Yi, you nigga, get out of here!" A loud roar suddenly came from outside.

Who is this, yelling in the academy?

Su Yi hurriedly hid in the house, signaling Zong Shu not to expose him.

Zong Shu was about to go out and take a look when he saw Li Gang coming in with a man of about forty years old, followed by Li Shaoyan.

Su Yi had no time to hide, so he could only stand and look at the person coming with an unconvinced expression.

Li Gang introduced: "Zong Shu, this is Su Mengfu, Mr. Su, the Imperial Arms Supervisor."

Seeing that Zong Shu didn't recognize him, Li Gang brought up Su Mengfu's ancestor. It turned out that Su Mengfu's grandfather was Su Song.

Su Song, this is a real genius.

Su Songguan became the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and became the Prime Minister during the reign of Emperor Zhezong of the Song Dynasty.

There were too many famous people who served as prime ministers in the Northern Song Dynasty. Among the famous prime ministers, Su Song may not be ranked high.

In the Song Dynasty, there was only one person who combined a prime minister and a scientist: Su Song.

Su Song was an outstanding astronomer, astronomical machinery manufacturer, and pharmacologist. He was an expert in classics and history, and a hundred schools of thought. As for algorithms, topography, mountain classics, materia medica, exegesis, and laws and regulations, he knew everything.

He led the manufacture of the world's oldest astronomical clock, the "Water Movement Instrument Platform", and pioneered the modern clock escapement.

Needham called him "one of the greatest naturalists and scientists of antiquity and the Middle Ages."

No wonder Su Yi was so proficient in arithmetic and good at making machines. It turned out to be his family background.

The reason why Su Song could study science while dealing with government affairs was mainly because this period was when the technology of the Song Dynasty was at its most developed, and the emperor was more open-minded and encouraged various inventions.

Three of the four major inventions were produced at this time, and the divine arm bow, which made the cavalry the most fearful, was also invented at this time.

But later, each emperor became more talented and more artistic than the last, and technology was increasingly ignored.

Therefore, as Su Song's descendants became smaller and smaller in officialdom, their status naturally became lower and lower.

As a result, when Su Mengfu came here, he could only be a seventh-grade official like an imperial military weapons supervisor.

Su Mengfu asked his son to study poetry and books since he was a child, in order to seek fame and restore the glory of his ancestors in his official career.

Su Yi also studied very hard. When he was sixteen years old, he suddenly became very interested in the "Illustrated Book of Materia Medica" and "New Yi Xiang Fa Yao" left by his grandfather Su Song.

In the end, he became obsessed with arithmetic, mechanics and astronomy, so much so that he often skipped classes, giving Su Mengfu a headache.

Su Mengfu once tied Su Yi up and hung him from a tree to beat him, but several branches were broken and it didn't work.

Su Yi also secretly ran away from home! Later, after asking around, he learned that Su Yi had gone to the Academy of Sciences of the Song Dynasty.

Su Mengfu had heard before that the Academy of Sciences of the Song Dynasty specially selected some people from among all the workers to be students, and he agreed very much.

Only by improving the status of Baigong and developing science and technology can the strength of the Song Dynasty be enhanced.

Su Mengfu understood the power of technology better than others. But when things happened to him, he changed his set of standards.

Su Mengfu tried his best to prevent his son from studying science and technology, and wanted him to immerse himself in the Four or Five Books and other required books.

Because pursuing fame will give you much more than studying science and technology!
