Regarding the turmoil in Xingtai and Cangzhou, although there were various channels to inform the capital, the upper and lower officials in the DPRK really couldn't care about it.
Firstly, the Imperial College was already in turmoil. The Imperial Doctor Yang Yiming, who used to be in charge of Suixingtang, sadly resigned. He did not even have the opportunity to be sent to study as an academic official, and directly retired "due to illness"; secondly, the emperor decided to expand the Sixth Hall of the Imperial College and strive to
To accommodate more supervisory students, this amount will be allocated from the internal treasury, but there is a prerequisite for such allocation.
The emperor tentatively agreed to the resignation of Lu Wan, Secretary of the Ministry of War, and at the same time approved the request for a public school. Therefore, he encouraged the students of the Imperial College to take education as their own responsibility.
It was given to Lu Wan to give lectures throughout the capital, with the aim of teaching students to read and write at least 200 words.
Of course, the supervisors of Jiuzhangtang also have tasks. They need to teach the basics of arithmetic. But since there are not many supervisors of Jiuzhangtang, they are naturally regarded as the emperor's additions without distinction. Just like those of Banshan Hall
The same goes for the disciples of Guijie who also received the same mission.
As soon as this decree was issued, the Imperial Academy was in an uproar, and the court was also in an uproar. One of Jiangge Lao's disciples directly brought out the famous "The people can do it, but they can't know it" to advise him, and then... he
The great scholar of Confucius took out Taizu's Quotations and was hit back - Taizu himself broke the sentence. Confucius's original sentence was "If the people can do it, let it be done; if they can't do it, know it."
No one expected that what was originally just a dispute in the Imperial College would suddenly turn into a wrestling match between two elders in the imperial court. Even Zhang Shou himself did not expect that Academician Confucius would suddenly jump out and directly confront Elder Jiang.
However, when he thought that the secret letter incident in Linhai Camp involved the murder of Academician Confucius, but nothing had been done yet, he probably understood the people's grievances, so he just stood aside and watched.
As for the supervisors of Banshan Hall, in the past when there was chaos between the DPRK and China, they would have gloated over the misfortune in various restaurants and restaurants, but now they have more important things to do. Since that day Ji Jiu
The others hurriedly brought back the great news that the name of Xu Heizi in the Banshan Hall branch examination was actually the destiny of the emperor's holy heart. Who dares to neglect it?
Seeing that there were less than three days left for the branch exam, at noon that day, when Zhang Shou announced the end of class amidst the ringing of the bell, he immediately saw a group of people shouting and cheering around, led by Ji Ji who was smiling with a smile on his face.
Nine.
"Teacher, we would like to ask one thing. Looking back at the Imperial Academy branch examination, will the final points be based on grades or the number of people?"
Hearing this question, Zhang Shou couldn't help but laugh: "What if we are divided according to grades? What if we are divided according to the number of people?"
Although Zhang Shou pushed the question back lightly, Ji Jiu saw some signs and couldn't help but feel excited secretly. He quickly apologized and said: "According to the score, it's just that those who have achieved a certain score can all be admitted."
The first class, and even the third class, the rest will go to the second class according to their specializations in the arts, and the last batch will go to the military for training. And if they are divided according to the number of people..."
He paused for a moment, and then said as if hesitating: "For example, if the teacher originally decided to only admit thirty or forty people in the first class, then he would only take the first thirty or forty people, and the rest
Even if his grades are good, he can only be dismissed."
Ji Jiu knew that many people behind him were not clear about the admission criteria for various imperial examinations, so he simply explained it in a simple and easy-to-understand manner. Sure enough, after he finished speaking, he heard a large number of voices of realization coming from behind him, and Zhang
Shou smiled at him.
"Of course it's limited to grades. If the grades of a hundred people all meet the standard for being recognized as excellent, then what's the problem if all of those hundred people are admitted to the first class? If only ten people can meet the standard, then the first class will be
Only ten people will be admitted. In the final analysis, it is the same as the previous monthly and annual exams. The assessment is just whether you are diligent or not, whether you are motivated or not, and dismissal is never the purpose."
Hearing Zhang Shou's answer, Ji Jiu couldn't help but feel a little subtle even though he had already guessed.
Limiting the number of people means that Zhang Shou wants to let outsiders see how selfless he is and how he would rather be incompetent than indiscriminate; and if he only limits the results, then judging from the results of the previous monthly and annual exams, unless it is the dozen or twenty who are really incompetent,
Of those who can be saved, most of the others will get at least one. The third session is guaranteed, and even the first session, it is not a problem to save fifty or sixty people.
In other words, this branch examination, as Zhang Shou just said, is indeed not for the purpose of elimination.
Not only Ji Jiu understood it, but the others also understood it, and couldn't help but cheer. Zhang Shou waited until the voice gradually stopped, and then said with a half-smile: "I still thought you were asking,
Zhang Chen broke his leg and is recuperating at home, Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu are in Xingtai, and Zhu Er ran away from home, how should the results of the four of them be calculated!"
As soon as he said this, the huge Banshan Hall fell into silence again. The chief and the two deputy chiefs were absent one after another, and the descendant of the chief, Zhu Er, suddenly got into trouble and ran away from home. It is said that the head of the Zhao Guogong Mansion, Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing, was furious.
, sent manpower to search everywhere, and saw that the search area had covered the entire Gyeonggi Province, digging three feet into the ground. Regarding this situation, there were many guesses behind the scenes.
Ji Jiu felt that there was something profound in Zhang Shou's gaze. His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly laughed and said: "Zhang Wu, Zhang Lu, and the others are on official business under the orders of the emperor. Naturally, this is a national matter. Zhang Zhai was accidentally injured in the first month of the year and missed the opportunity."
There is nothing we can do about the exam. As for Zhu Erlang...after the people from Zhao Guogong's mansion find him, there is nothing wrong with taking the exam again..."
"A soldier cannot move without a general, and a snake cannot move without a head. Since Zhu Erlang has not been found for several days, Banshan Hall must be replaced by an acting chief." At this point, Zhang Shou said with a smile, "Ji Jiulang, you have always been
You have excellent grades and are quite prestigious, so you can be the chief of the post."
I?
Ji Jiu was so surprised that he almost wanted to point to his nose and ask Zhang Shou to confirm again.
Who is Zhang Chen? The only son of the Duke of Qin, the future Duke of Qin, one of Zhang Shou's students when he set up a tavern in Cuiyunjian. It is said that he is second only to Lu Sanlang in terms of his trust. He is the leading figure among the dandies in the capital.
Arrogant and domineering, few people dare to offend him.
Who is Zhu Er? Although the second son of Zhao Guogong is useless, his identity is there. In addition, he is Zhang Shou's future second uncle. Even if many people are dissatisfied with him, looking at the Zhu family and Zhang
In terms of face, Shou could only hold his nose and admit it.
But what about him? He is just a bastard, and Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu have not surrendered to the disciples for a long time. They can be regarded as the old team who share the joys and sorrows. Even if his performance has always been acceptable, how could it be his turn to be the chief of the restaurant? Cuiyun back then
Which group of people will be willing and agree?
He did not dare to hesitate, and quickly lowered his head and said: "How can a student with few talents and limited knowledge be able to take on this important task? Even if the teacher is unable to choose an acting director for a while, the third and fourth princes are also in the Banshan Hall..."
Before Ji Jiu finished speaking, the fourth prince said: "Don't count me and third brother! My father said that my third brother and I have terrible foundations in Jingyi, and we must deal with them seriously in the palace from now on."
If you study classics and history well, you can only stay in Banshan Hall until before the branch examination."
Having said this, the fourth prince glanced at Zhang Shou with some resentment, and then whispered: "From now on, in the teacher's classes, we can only read the textbooks compiled by him."
Although the third prince did not speak, his face was full of unwillingness. When he returned to the palace from Zhaoyuan, the emperor brought them in front of him, taught them a gentle lesson, and finally informed them of his decision. He
For this reason, he and the fourth prince tried their best to plead, but in the end they still couldn't get his father to take back his life. For this reason, he only felt that the glimmer of pride in his bluffing was really stupid.
Seeing the attitude of the two brothers, many supervisors looked at each other. Seeing that the eldest prince was sent to the small Cangzhou to do such a small thing - the responsibilities he had were no more than those of Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu. The second prince was even more shocked.
The board is so tight that I still can't get out of bed. How come no one has started to make plans for the third and fourth princes?
But before they can find time, these two dragons are about to return to the palace?
Could it be that the third prince and the fourth prince were about to leave Banshan Hall had something to do with his previous inquiring? This thought flashed through Ji Jiu's mind, but for just a moment, he immediately stopped thinking about it and hurriedly said: "Even if the two princes will
Come on, there are so many talented people in Banshan Hall..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhang Shou interrupted as if nothing had happened: "No need to be modest, you will be the acting director. Okay, get out of class has ended long ago. It's late. Let's disperse!"
Seeing Zhang Shou say these words, he walked away. Everyone in the half-mountain hall looked at each other, and finally countless eyes focused on Ji Jiu. Young Master Ji Jiu, who was always known to be smart, was looked at like a thorn in his back, but he still had to force himself.
Calm. But when he returned to his seat and wanted to pack his things, he suddenly felt that it was dark in front of him, and he was surrounded by a big man named Zhang and three or five people.
"Mr. Ji Jiu, that's not right. From now on, I will be called Dai Zhai Chief."
"You know that I am the acting chief of the restaurant, so you should be brighter in your tactics."
Ji Jiu flicked the corner of his clothes and stood up pretending to be calm, but he smiled and said: "Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. I just want to say that you always sit next to me, and you will be separated for the exam later."
Can it be convenient for you at this time?"
He just pretended that he didn't see the scorching or dangerous gazes from all directions, and sneered: "Just think about it, our teacher can ask the emperor, who always only gives questions for the imperial examination, to give questions to us guys with half a bucket of water."
Question, will there be no success in this examination place? Just like the palace examination, if there are hundreds of tables placed in the square in front of Fengtian Temple, with three to five feet between each other, that is possible!"
This is simply ridiculous!
This was the first reaction of a large group of supervisors, but when they thought about Zhang Shou's personality, many people had to admit that it was indeed very possible... Weird situations like the emperor's question had already happened, let alone
other?
For a time, Ji Jiu, who had left behind an irresponsible and heavy speculation, took the opportunity to escape. Zhang Shou did not return to his dormitory. At noon that day, he went directly to Jiuzhangtang, while Lu Sanlang, who had finished teaching in the morning,
He spoke to everyone in advance, and when Zhang Shou came over, he gave up the podium.
In the past few months, Zhang Shou has fully seen how strong the learning ability of people with mathematical talents is. It has only been less than half a year, and he has already talked about quadratic functions in algebra, and geometry has ended with plane geometry and progressed to space geometry.
.As for the physics that was started to be discussed later, although the progress is a little slow, classical mechanics has been covered for less than half.
Thanks to Emperor Taizu who popularized those Arabic numerals, after initially struggling to accept the symbols used to formulate equations, these talented people soon showed their unusualness.
With Ah Liu on the lookout who has returned, Zhang Shou is not worried about anyone coming here to eavesdrop again - at this time, the supervisors of the Imperial College are too busy to confirm each other's positions, so how can they have time to care about him?
"In the past few months, to be honest, there have been a lot of messy things in Banshan Hall. In contrast, Jiuzhang Hall has been much calmer. In addition to doing a very interesting topic, some people accompanied Wang Zongxian there
Xuanfu Datong, accounting and accounting, etc., most people outside have ignored you. But it does not mean that as long as Jiuzhangtang reopens and there are people, that is enough."
Zhang Shou increased his tone and said word by word: "Because this is not enough!"
"What's the use of mathematics? Many of the senior officials in the court would shake their heads and say that it's of no great use. It's just the study of mathematics in the Qintian Prison, it's just the calculations in water control, and it's nothing more than the subordinates who keep accounts.
It’s just necessary. But in fact, you should see that there are wonderful principles in the world contained in it.”
After some opening remarks, everyone in the audience listened attentively, and Zhang Shou continued: "In the past years, most of you did not get much benefit from your talents, and it was not even enough to support your family, but
At least, you know that you have such a talent, but how many people in this world have never had the opportunity to discover their talent, so they disappear among the crowd?"
"So..." Zhang Shou patted the desk lightly and said slowly, "Educate all peoples. These four words proposed by the Army and War Department were laughed at by many people, because in the minds of those people, the seeds of reading naturally come from
Scholars, what's the harm in those illiterate families being illiterate for generations? This saves them having to compete with their descendants for the qualifications to enter school."
"So, regardless of reading and writing just 200 words, it is as difficult as heaven. Will a prodigy like Fang Zhongyong emerge from it? To be honest, I don't have high expectations. However, mathematics and science are different. Talented people
People will show their talent for being sensitive to numbers in a relatively short period of time, and what you need is to select these people one by one."
"Then, as their teacher, take them on a different path and let them become the successors of Jiuzhangtang!"
"Yes, I hope that you will personally select your successor!"
When Lu Sanlang sent Zhang Shou out of Jiuzhang Hall with complicated emotions, he couldn't help but asked softly: "They have just studied for less than half a year, and now they are going to be teachers and select talented students."
, will it be..."
"It all depends on people." Zhang Shou chuckled. Teachers who graduated from junior high school can become famous teachers, let alone these junior math masters?
