On a hot summer day, the cicadas are chirping, and the sound of reading has returned to the Imperial College campus.
Although the senior students of Suixingtang are doing internships in various yamen, the two middle-grade classes also went to visit their families during the holidays. There are only lower-grade students in the school at the moment, but there are still thirty-three classes.
However, Lao Liu refused to increase the number of teachers, insisting on a shortage rather than an overabundance, forcing Song Ne to give lectures from morning to night every day. He was so tired that he had blisters at the mouth. Even Teacher Luo had to rush to the shelf to teach the students.
"Morality and the Rule of Law" came up...well, it was the "Da Ming Law".
However, he himself did not show his face for several days, saying he wanted to concentrate on thinking about the future of Guozixue, which made Teacher Luo couldn't help but wonder if he was avoiding leisure to spend the summer with his sister?
Teacher Luo really knew Lao Liu. He did go to escape the summer heat. But he did not leave Nanjing City. Instead, he took the teacher and his family to Qingliang Mountain inside Qingliangmen.
This was once the favorite summer resort of the emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Legend has it that the dense bamboo forest on the mountain was planted by Empress Li.
It is said that during Li Yu's reign, whenever the hot summer came, he would leave behind the annoying government affairs and take his beloved Zhou Hou to the summer palace on the mountain to enjoy the coolness and write lyrics.
Hundreds of years have passed, and the palace built by Li Yu has long since been annihilated, replaced by the summer palace of His Royal Highness the King of Chu... Nowadays, he has multiple jobs and is getting busier. In addition, he has grown older, so he often returns to the palace for accommodation every day.
inconvenient.
So he asked his father to give him Qingliang Mountain as his residence when he was in Beijing. Zhu Yuanzhang agreed, but he didn't give any money.
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang paid for his brothers to build palaces in Beijing. But when they got to Lao Liu, the old thief picked them up and gave him money? It would have been nice not to ask him for money to support his son.
Of course, Lao Liu also had no money, so he had no choice but to ask the Prime Minister Hai Zheng Yamen to take action and build the "Hai Zheng No. 1 Sanatorium" here.
His Royal Highness the King of Chu is also a member of Hai Zheng Yamen. Isn’t it reasonable to try out the health care area completed in the first phase?
~~
In the bamboo forest in Qingliang Mountain, there is a small pool that draws water from the mountain spring. By the pool, there are mountains of rocks and pebbles on the ground, and there is a hexagonal pavilion.
When people sit in the pavilion, the river breeze brings coolness, and the many bamboos create coolness, but there is no hint of heat.
Liu Li is wearing a green skirt, with hair like a waterfall, burning incense and playing the piano in the pavilion, which adds a sense of elegance to this freehand painting.
Zhu Zhen and Liu Bowen sat across from each other next to a desk, which was piled with books. Looking at the covers, they were all arithmetic books such as "Measuring the Circle Sea Mirror", "Four Yuan Jade Mirror", and "Yang Hui's Algorithm"
.
"The ancient formula of Nine Returns is 'Return the number to make ten, add up the addition and division from the top. Half and half are five strategies, and the positioning is correct'..." Liu Bowen took Yang Hui's "Multiplication and Division Tongshiba" and ordered to the side
Liu Xiang, who took the record, said:
"On the basis of these four ancient formulas, Yang Hui added thirty-two new formulas to make them more clear. I will record them all in the chapter on the reduction and division of abacus, and I will make annotations later."
"I want it." Zhu Zhen nodded while eating shaved ice from the side: "Add in the 'Multiply Division' and the abacus division, and the content is almost the same."
"No, do you really plan to compile a mathematics textbook?" Lao Liu said speechlessly.
"It's not just a junior mathematics textbook, there are also intermediate and advanced ones." Zhu Zhen said ambitiously: "With the mathematical skills of our master and apprentice, we should be able to cope with it."
"Actually, mathematics is what I'm least worried about." He scratched his head and said, "The military textbooks are pretty good, but the engineering subjects at the back, household subjects, are the most worrying. It seems that no one can help me, so I can only take them myself.
"
"You are so ambitious that you really want to rewrite all the teaching materials for Guozixue?" Liu Bowen was speechless. "If you really do it, the Confucius Temple will no longer enshrine Confucius, but you, Zhu Sage."
"Haha, that's not a bad idea." Lao Liu went crazy and said with great ambition: "Otherwise, why would I take over Guozixue? I want to rename it Guozixue University and cultivate talents to change the Ming Dynasty!"
"The Ming Dynasty has only been established a few years ago..." Liu Xiang couldn't help but complain in a low voice.
"Write the word 伱." Lao Liu rolled his eyes at him. "You don't know anything and you're still arguing here."
"I'm going to poop..." Liu Xiang put down his pen and stood up in depression, his mother said in his heart, you know, you are not the King of Chu, you are the King of Understanding.
"So, you are going to separate subjects to recruit scholars?" Liu Bowen knew his thoughts clearly.
"Well, I'm going to combine the reform of Guozi studies with the reform of the imperial examination." Zhu Zhen nodded and said, "If they don't study Guozi studies, they won't be able to take the imperial examination."
"This way you don't have to worry about Guozi studies being marginalized," Liu Bowen said.
"I'm not that narrow-minded." Zhu Zhen said with a smile.
"You know, it will change the future of the Ming Dynasty..." Liu Bowen said with a teasing smile: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu has really accomplished this matter. In the future, scholars will not be able to worship Chu Palace even if they don't want to."
"Why, Master, do you think I want to eat shit?" Zhu Zhen raised his thick eyebrows.
"Absolutely." Liu Bowen said calmly: "If you do this, sooner or later you will be attacked by a group of people."
"Is that an exaggeration?" Zhu Zhen exclaimed.
"When you divide subjects into scholars, whose fault is it? Isn't it the fault of the Four Books and Five Classics? This is going to destroy the jobs of those great scholars." Liu Bowen said with a smile:
"Do you know why they are against Song Ne?"
"Because they are eager to reopen the imperial examination." Lao Liu said.
"That's right." Liu Bowen nodded and said, "Just like that Chen Qianfu who was skinned by you men. He is a famous scholar who specializes in "The Legend of Gongyang". The so-called 'hard work can bring about a lesson', and relying on this lesson can get people to be named on the gold list."
, he also relied on this classic to teach for most of his life, and achieved both fame and fortune.
"As a result, the imperial court stopped the imperial examination and let the schools select talents. How can he not be impatient?" Liu Bowen said with a smile: "If it were you, you would be impatient too."
"That's right." Zhu Zhen nodded and said, "Destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents."
"For them, your method of selecting scholars by dividing subjects is not as good as school." Liu Bowen said lightly: "At least they can generally understand what is taught in school. If you open up the method of selecting scholars by dividing subjects, what are the clear methods and clear calculations?
, they know nothing about Ming Gong and other subjects. How can they have the nerve to think of themselves as senior scholars and teachers of scholars?"
"Didn't I leave them a Ming Jing Jinshi?" Zhu Zhen yelled at Qu: "Besides, no matter which subject you take, you have to test Jing Yi. Their major is still a compulsory course."
"Go ahead and lie to ghosts." Liu Bowen chuckled and said, "Scholars are not simple-minded Qiu Ba. People can see through your monkey tricks at a glance."
"Hehe..." Lao Liu smiled nonchalantly: "But I asked Song Ne to give me a chance. Guozi learned from dozens of heads falling to the ground. I don't believe that in a few years, there will still be people who dare to jump?"
"In the past few years, it has been a matter of course to select scholars by subject. What can they do to me?" Zhu Zhen said lightly.
