Chapter 659 Yang Xiu, who treats Guo Jia as a fool
Chapter 659 Yang Xiu treats Guo Jia as a fool
Guanzhong here seems to be a bit chaotic because Liu Cheng is preparing to develop education.
Of course, this kind of noise usually only exists among the literati, and some people who seem to be aware of some differences, among aristocratic families.
That is to say, in this seemingly chaotic situation, the affairs of Daxing Education are proceeding in an orderly manner.
First of all, Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao, who came to Chang'an not long ago and were solemnly received by Uncle Liu Huang, began to take charge of recruiting students.
People who sign up to be teachers need to study together after they are recruited.
At this time, Yang Xiu had also arrived at a large house in Chang'an City.
The house looks a bit desolate and dilapidated.
But the advantage is that the place is spacious.
Originally, Yang Xiu thought that when he came here, he needed to master several kinds of books before he could teach.
After arriving here, I realized that things were different from what I thought.
If you are a teacher, you don't need the Disciple Rules and the Three Character Classic. Of course, you can master these books.
You only need to master one of them.
From now on, a teacher will only teach one of them.
Of course, if there are not enough teachers, or if the teacher's teaching level is high enough, you can directly teach two or even three subjects.
Most of the people who came here to apply for teaching positions chose to teach subjects such as the Three-Character Classic, fables, and disciple rules.
There are not particularly few people who teach arithmetic.
The reason why it is not the least is because there is also the subject of "Nature" here.
There are really very few people who apply for the natural science course.
The main thing is that in the past, all these people were exposed to were Confucian classics.
They are no strangers to the Disciple Regulations and the Three-Character Classic, which were born out of it.
But the arithmetic performed using Emperor Shu's numbers is not that familiar.
The uncle's figures are not square at all, they look strange and make people feel uncomfortable.
Because of these changes, many people have some instinctive resistance.
Of course, arithmetic is somewhat better.
The most difficult subject is nature.
Because these are completely beyond their previous knowledge.
They feel it is very novel, and when it comes to teaching, they feel like they have no idea where to start.
They feel that things are too bizarre, many of them subvert their previous understanding, and they feel even more resistant.
After Yang Xiu discovered this situation, he directly enrolled in arithmetic and natural science.
I plan to teach these two subjects in the future after some training.
After some people saw Yang Xiu's choice, they couldn't help but shake their heads.
I think Yang Xiu’s choice is really stupid!
There were also some kind-hearted people who reminded Yang Xiu.
I'm afraid that a young man like him, who doesn't know the basics, would choose the strange arithmetic and the even stranger natural subject.
I will suffer a loss from now on.
In their opinion, arithmetic is relatively easy to talk about in these two courses, especially nature, which is simply a fantasy!
It will definitely not last long in the future!
The most permanent one is to focus on things derived from Confucian classics such as the Disciples' Regulations and the Three-Character Classic.
At this time, choose to teach nature as a subject.
I'm afraid that it won't take too long and he will be fired directly, leaving no students to teach.
Yang Xiu simply shook his head and refused the kindness from others.
And I think these people are very stupid and don't want to talk to them.
What is the most indispensable thing for big men nowadays?
The most indispensable thing is knowledgeable people who understand Confucian classics and the like.
The teacher who is most lacking is the man who understands nature.
Since it is lacking, it must be very popular.
I came here and chose to be a teacher, but I shouldered the mission of improving the relationship between my father and uncle Liu Huang.
If this is the case, then naturally you cannot follow the crowd.
You need to choose the subject with the smallest number of students.
Only in this way can you quickly stand out and attract others' attention...
Guo Jia came here and was slightly stunned when he saw Yang Xiu's age.
After all, Yang Xiu's age is really a bit too young.
He came here and taught Yang Xiu a few words.
But I found that I had made a mistake.
This young man's knowledge is not bad.
Confucian classics and the like are very solid.
"Whose family are you from? What's your name?"
Guo Jia asked aloud.
"Why choose these two subjects, nature and arithmetic?"
Yang Xiu said: "I am from the Yang family of Hongnong, and my name is Yang Xiu.
Hearing that Uncle Liu Huang was promoting education and that there was a shortage of teachers, he came over to contribute.
As for why I chose these two subjects, the main reason is that there are too few people choosing these two subjects.
I'm worried that I won't have enough time.
And I also have a strong interest in these new things.
I think these two things are very interesting.
Those fables and stories are too superficial.
I already knew it in the past.
There is no point in choosing them anymore.
Let's leave the opportunity to those people.
It's really boring to fight with them..."
Guo Jia found it a bit interesting when he saw that Yang Xiu looked like a young man but spoke in such a mature manner with some strong self-confidence.
Don't nodded at that moment: "You are right, a young man should have the vigor of a young man."
…
After arranging some things, the training here will start soon.
Trained by Guo Jia and others.
It is easy to train the disciples in these areas, mainly arithmetic and nature, which are a bit difficult subjects.
Not only do those who receive training find it difficult to learn, but those who teach also find it difficult.
Yang Xiu was very serious about his studies.
But this seriousness only lasted three days.
Because after three days, the person who taught Yang Xiu found out awkwardly that he could no longer teach Yang Xiu.
Yang Xiu has completely surpassed him.
His understanding of some things completely surpassed his...
Not only did he master all the various knowledge in this nature book, but he also raised many questions along the way.
Ask him all.
There's absolutely no way to explain it...
Yang Xiu's outstanding performance quickly attracted Guo Jia's attention.
"The young man is indeed full of energy, I was right.
With people like you joining in, the education promoted by the Emperor's uncle will be even smoother in the future."
Guo Jia said this to Yang Xiu with a smile, and then stopped letting Yang Xiu study here.
Instead, he started to be a trainer.
Training those who came in later to apply, and those who studied with him before...
In just three days, Yang Xiu had already achieved a gorgeous transformation.
Stand out from the crowd.
And those who signed up to study nature as a subject with Yang Xiu still had many things they had not mastered.
This made Yang Xiu couldn't help but shake his head.
So stupid!
There are obviously many things that are very simple and can be understood by just thinking about them.
But they just can't understand the reason.
And those people who originally studied with Yang Xiu now looked at Yang Xiu, who was much younger than them and looked like a young man. This former classmate came over and directly became their teacher. Here
The professor had a look of disgust on his face, as if he hated the iron.
For a moment, the feeling in my heart was forgotten.
There is a special feeling of shame and shame...
"Why is the earth round?
If it is round, but when we stand here, it is flat as far as we can see.
And since it is round, why does it not shake when we stand on it, but is very stable?
We big men are not the center of this world, so is the place we live in, which the emperor calls the earth, the center of the universe?
Also, why is the sun so bright?
And it looks bigger in the morning and smaller at noon..."
After teaching his former classmates and some subsequent applicants who came to study, Yang Xiu looked at Guo Jia and asked.
Guo Jia felt a headache for a moment as he listened to these words that kept coming out of Yang Xiu's mouth.
Originally, he liked Yang Xiu very much, but at this moment, listening to his hundreds of thousands of questions about why, he felt a little headache.
Yang Xiu is good at everything and smart, but he has too many problems!
The key is that he didn't know what he was asking.
My natural knowledge is only half-baked.
I learned all about it from my uncle.
For many of them, it is not clear.
What Yang Xiu asked at this time was completely out of line.
Why does this child have so many problems?
"Young Master, I don't know this either. I can only ask the emperor about this.
This book of nature was compiled by the emperor's uncle.
He has a special understanding of these.
If you have the chance, you can ask the Pope in person about these questions.
But before you invite Uncle Pope, you also need to do a good job in training."
Yang Xiu nodded, indicating that he understood.
After Guo Jia left, Yang Xiu couldn't help but smile.
Done!
My goal was achieved!
Here, I not only learned knowledge, but also stood out through my own efforts.
In just a short period of time, I found an opportunity to meet the emperor's uncle directly!
As long as the time comes, he directly meets with the emperor's uncle, lets him know his identity, and asks for some advice from the emperor's uncle, then a lot of the barriers between him and his father will be eliminated.
After all, coming here to support the emperor's uncle is important news...
I am really too smart, but in this short period of time, I have solved all these problems!
Others don’t know yet!
While Yang Xiu was thinking so happily, he had no idea that Guo Jia, who seemed to be unable to answer the question he just asked, also smiled secretly.
This Yang Xiu is as big as a brat.
He is young, but he is a very smart person.
It's just that he is a little smarter, but he doesn't know how to hide his edge.
It is easy to regard others as fools.
Just think of yourself as a smart person.
If you don't know how to restrain yourself with this kind of temper in the future, you will suffer a lot.
But even young people can understand.
It is normal for young people to be more sharp-edged and energetic.
People who are not high-spirited before the age of twenty do not look like teenagers anymore.
Thinking about it, when I was a teenager, wasn't it like this Yang Xiu sometimes?
But if you still have the same personality after you are twenty years old, that would be a bit stupid.
If this kind of wisdom goes on for a long time, not only is it not a good thing, but it may even turn into a bad thing.
It brings a lot of trouble.
Guo Jia thought this in his mind. In view of Yang Xiu's performance, he decided to give Yang Xiu some guidance in the future if possible.
Let's see if Yang Xiu can make some changes.
After all, everyone likes such a smart young man.
If you can change well, it will be a powerful assistant when the time comes...
While these things were going on, some new changes also occurred in the Great Wall.
One of the most important changes is that a few days ago, a brand new paper suddenly appeared in the Taobao store!
This kind of paper is extremely white, neat and smooth.
The quality is of the highest quality.
A knowledgeable person will know at a glance that this kind of paper surpasses all the most superior papers currently available in the Han Dynasty.
This is not the most important thing.
More importantly, this paper is extremely cheap.
Only sold for eight dollars a piece!
You must know that in the past, the cheapest paper that could not match the quality of this jade-like paper cost ten yuan a piece!
Some of the more expensive ones can be sold for fifteen yuan.
And this kind of paper is of such high quality that it only sells for 80 cents a piece.
This huge bargain suddenly alarmed many people.
It attracted many scholars and aristocratic families to buy and watch.
Paper is essential for readers.
Especially now, when bamboo and wooden slips are gradually being phased out because they are too bulky, and paper begins to rise, it becomes even more important.
Moreover, the cost of bamboo and wooden slips is not as cheap as paper.
Although the material is simpler, I can't write too many words.
And it’s too cumbersome to make.
It occupies a large area and is not convenient for transportation and storage.
So being replaced by paper is the most normal thing.
At first, when the news spread, many scholars did not believe it.
I didn't think it would be such a good thing at all.
But when I came to the store, saw this kind of paper, and after many inquiries, I was sure that it sold for eight yuan a piece, and I suddenly became happy!
I feel like this is taking a huge advantage!
This shop owned by Uncle Liu’s family is really interesting!
How can such good paper be sold so cheaply?
Uncle Liu Huang's advantage will not be taken advantage of unless it is in vain!
Many people from aristocratic families who were originally dissatisfied with Liu Cheng because of all the things he did, as well as some scholars, immediately became excited.
Outside Uncle Liu Huang's shop where they came, there was a queue to buy this high-quality paper.
I'm afraid I won't be able to buy it.
Some buy hundreds or even thousands of them!
I am particularly afraid that the price of Uncle Liu Huang’s paper will suddenly rise in the future.
In this case, they would not be able to take advantage of Uncle Liu Huang.
Some people even directly made bold statements, saying that they would buy out Uncle Liu Huang's paper.
No matter how much Uncle Liu Huang sells here, they will buy them all.
He said that he wanted to support Uncle Liu Huang's industry through this method.
In fact, secretly, he was laughing to himself.
I feel that Uncle Liu Huang is really a bit stupid when it comes to doing business.
A piece of paper can obviously be sold for fifteen yuan, but it is sold for eight yuan!
This kind of advantage cannot be taken advantage of.
At this time, buy this kind of paper in large quantities.
In the future, whether you use it yourself or sell it back at a high price when the time comes.
This is something that is extremely pleasing to the eye.
It feels really good to be able to take advantage of the hateful Uncle Liu Huang through this method.
However, what they didn't know was that Uncle Liu Huang, who had been taken advantage of by them, was sitting in his house, smiling happily!
