Zhang Shou returned to Beijing yesterday and was very prosperous. Today, he suddenly ignored his vacation and came to the Imperial College. The group of people in the doctor's hall were naturally nervous for a while. When Zhang Shou came over, he went to see Zhou Jijiu and Luo Siye first, and they were shocked.
After a pleasant conversation, the group of doctors and teaching assistants with pricked ears outside heard clearly what Zhang Shou said about the second enrollment period of Jiuzhangtang, and they gradually felt at ease.
When Zhang Shou said goodbye and left, a doctor in his early thirties in the doctor's hall breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Anyway, if you want to toss, you will continue to toss Jiuzhangtang, and it will not involve the mess of Sixth Hall. As long as there is no Xie Wanquan again."
, that’s fine.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that there was silence around him, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat, realizing that he had said the wrong thing and should not have mentioned that taboo name.
Sure enough, the next moment, he heard a faint voice: "Can you forget about that kid? He is now in Lu Shangshu... Ahem, Lu Jijiu's Daming Public School is like a fish in water, and many poor young people have entered his door.
He is so proud that he holds his head high. Do you know what the people say about him? He is an upright man who does not hesitate to break with a teacher of low conduct and destroy his own future!"
"Dr. Zhang has been traveling abroad for several months. As soon as he comes back, he comes to Jiuzhangtang to check and read homework regardless of rest. You all stay in the Imperial College all day long, but you don't care about your students. Instead, you gather here to gossip. Isn't it too idle?
?”
Luo Siye suddenly came out of the back room and scolded him, once again suppressing the discussions outside. However, no one said anything about what Luo Siye said.
Nowadays, teachers hired by wealthy families, or private tutors who teach several students at home, will indeed assign homework to students on a regular basis, and then read it carefully, provide comments and guidance.
However, at the academy level, because there are so many students, most teachers will only select the students they value and give detailed guidance. Ordinary students may not get comments once a year.
And when it comes to the Imperial College... I also know that in its heyday, the highest institution of higher education had four to five thousand or more people, from the priests and clerks, to the doctors, teaching assistants, academics, etc. in the doctor's hall, to the minor officials in the departments below.
, there are no more than fifty people! Of these fifty people, more than half are engaged in pure management work, and the others may not be able to teach enough, so why do they have to change their homework?
What's more, after Gaozong's restructuring, the doctors in various subjects appointed by Emperor Taizu became doctors of the Five Classics... Those doctors who came out of the examination room generally only talked about what they were good at, and after the lectures were completed, who had the time to write an article one by one?
An article about prison students? You may not be able to finish it even if you read it for several days or nights!
Therefore, there is no suspense that the Imperial College was completely defeated by those academies in terms of educating talents. It is a big-pot institution with thousands of students - or an institution where more than half of the Imperial College graduates are just to get a good reputation and then go to find a job. How can it be
Can it compare with those private academies where dozens of people take the boutique route and hundreds of people take the broad route?
This is because the personnel composition of Banshan Hall and Jiuzhangtang are different, and they are almost semi-independent of the original Imperial College, so Zhang Shou can let it go with the support of the emperor. Anyway, it will not shake the foundation of Liutang. Now Banshan Hall has one point
The number of people in the hall dropped sharply from the first to the third hall. The original huge room was given over to Suixing Hall, and most people had nothing to say.
As for fighting with Zhang Shou, with Yang Yiming’s painful lesson before him, who would fight against Zhang Shou again?
Zhang Shou didn't know that his sudden visit to the Imperial Academy to supervise his homework would cause a lot of trouble to the doctors and teaching assistants.
After inspecting his own territory, he left the Imperial College to meet up with Ah Liu, and after retrieving the horses, he took Ah Liu and transferred to Lu Wan's Daming Public School. Because he only learned from Lu Sanlang yesterday that he had left Beijing.
The public school that was just a plan at that time not only had a place to run the school, but also had its first batch of students.
In a place like the inner city of the capital, where every inch of land is at a premium, Lu Sanlang, a powerful father, not only got a piece of land with a house, but Zhang Shou also saw the brand-new archway at the gate, with the four characters of Daming Public School flying and phoenixes, signed
It was impressively stamped with the emperor's seal - as for how he recognized the small seal, it was because the title "Master of Zhaoming Pavilion" was stamped with the same words on the piece given to him by the emperor.
When Xie Wanquan came out after hearing the news, he was no longer depressed than before, and he was in high spirits. He told Zhang Shou that Lu Wan happened to go to discuss sponsorship matters with several guild halls, and then he took Zhang Shou to inspect the house with a smile on his face, and then said
Autumn moves have begun.
When Zhang Shou heard the words "elementary school" and "middle school" in his mouth, and thought of the message he had sent to Lu Wan through Lu Sanlang, he suddenly felt an indescribable emotion. Of course, what he was even more embarrassed about was Xie Wanquan's eloquent words.
Continuous introduction.
“The primary school only teaches arithmetic such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and reading and writing. Because we are from poor families, we originally wanted to have classes in batches every five days for half a day, but because even children aged seven or eight have to help at home.
I have to work, so even if reading at night hurts my eyes, oil lamps or candles are all expensive, so after Lu Jijiu and I discussed it, we decided to hold some evening classes..."
"The reason why division is not taught in arithmetic is because most people don't use it in daily life. And if there are students who are talented in arithmetic, once the students who come to take part-time classes in Jiuzhangtang find out, they will select extra people and use scholarships.
and other forms of funding..."
"The first batch of 300 primary school students have been recruited now, and they will take classes in rotation. As for middle school, Lu Jijiu feels that we should not rush it, because without a complete primary school education, opening middle school classes may not be worth the gain... In fact, the most important thing is that there are no teaching materials.
.”
"The first and second volumes of Gurdjieff's new arithmetic are okay, but after reading it, starting from fractions, the difficulty increases sharply. I feel that it may not be suitable for those who just want to be able to read, do arithmetic, and get a good job.
Children. After all, many people are not even considered poor, let alone students."
He took Zhang Shou around a lot and talked a lot. It wasn't until his mouth went dry that Xie Wanquan realized that most of what he just said was about showing off in front of Guan Gong... because a large part of it was...
Lu Wan told him. As for Lu Wan, it seems that according to Lu Sanlang, he learned and sold it from Zhang Shou.
He coughed a little, feeling that he was a little carried away. After all, if the supervisors of Jiuzhang Hall hadn't taken turns to teach, he wouldn't be able to do it by himself. But before he could speak, he was almost scolded by Zhang Shou's next sentence.
Choked to death.
"Did Lu Jijiu ask you if Xie Sheng was ever married?"
Xie Wanquan blushed and was about to ignore the topic quickly, but suddenly thought of Lu Wan's heart-to-heart and meaningful attitude when he talked to him several times, and he couldn't help but be stunned. It couldn't really be like what Zhang Shou said, right?
?Lu Wan didn't appreciate his talent, but appreciated him for something else? But then, he thought of a more important question.
Lu Wan has three sons, but she has no daughters!
He couldn't help but complain: "I never thought that a serious person like you, Dr. Zhang, could actually joke!"
"I'm not joking. When men get married when they are college students, when women get married when they are college students, do you dare to say that you never thought about catching your son-in-law?" Zhang Shou deliberately continued to tease, seeing Xie Wanquan's face turned red with embarrassment, thinking of what he did in the past
The guy and Tang Ming were so arrogant when they ran to Rongshui Village to find trouble with him that he just felt that the young man in front of him was actually quite cute.
By the way, he doesn't seem to have the qualifications to say that he is a young man... He is several years younger than him now, well, let's keep pretending...
Zhang Shou was not just teasing, but also said with a smile: "Don't think I'm making fun of you. You cut off your relationship with your former nominal teacher, which will inevitably affect the reputation. Even if the people are against you, you
You must know that those who write history books and literati's notes are scholars. You must at least train your students to be on the stage, so that you can rely on them to fight against public opinion."
"So, before that, since Lu Jijiu values you very much, you might as well ask him to help solve your life-long matter. In this way, you can dedicate your life to the great cause of Daming Public School and devote your life to your descendants."
Even though Ah Liu who was standing outside the door was always serious about his words, he couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth at this moment, thinking that his young master's temper was really beyond words. He seemed to be tolerant and generous and did not hold grudges, but that was because his enemies could be killed in the blink of an eye.
They will be eaten to death! Not to mention idiots like Yang Yiming, look at Zhang Chen and Zhu Er back then, and Xie Wanquan now?
When Zhang Shou deceived Xie Wanquan, he was confused and agreed to compile Chinese language textbooks suitable for primary school students in person - Zhang Shou also said the word Chinese - and then handed it over to Lu Sanlang's bookshop for printing. Only then did he feel satisfied
Say goodbye and leave.
As for the trivial matter of not seeing Lu Wan, he didn't take it to heart at all - it would have been better not to see him. The wily Lu Wan was much harder to deal with than Xie Wanquan, who was as tender as a green onion! In other words, if someone eavesdropped
It would be better if his words were reported to Lu Wan.
And when he took Ah Liu out of the huge archway of the public school, he couldn't help but look up at the sun that had already passed the zenith, and then he remembered that because he had eaten breakfast late, Ah Liu was not there when he came out.
He had a bag of vegetable buns, so he went to the Imperial College and the Daming Public School, completely forgetting about lunch. Thinking of this, he turned to look at Ah Liu.
Those who are close to vermillion are red, and those who are close to ink are black. Now Ah Liu can be regarded as a competent food seeker.
"Ah Liu, do you know where there is something delicious at this time?"
"There are many restaurants that offer food and drinks at any time of the day in the capital, but not many of them are delicious." Ah Liu thought about it very seriously, then his eyes lit up and he said, "Among the guild halls in the outer city, there are a few
It’s a good shop. Moreover, because there are many businessmen and scholars coming and going, the stove fire is left open for cooking for twelve hours. Why don’t you go there and have a look?”
Zhang Shou originally just wanted to tease Ah Liu, but when he heard the young man mention the guild hall, he immediately thought of Shopkeeper Hua, who was already in charge of the Suzhou guild hall. After thinking about it for a while, he smiled and said: "Okay, let's go out of the city to find a home.
Let’s have lunch at the clubhouse.”
However, Ah Liu did not agree immediately, but asked seriously: "Why don't you go and ask the eldest lady to come with you?"
"I've missed lunch a long time ago. If I go to see her again, am I going to invite someone to have afternoon tea?" After Zhang Shou joked, he couldn't help but think seriously. When he was in the Imperial College, he often took the opportunity to take a break between classes in the afternoon.
Use tea to supplement your consumption. In this case, afternoon tea seems to be popular among the right people...
There is also afternoon tea these days, but it mostly consists of various cakes, sweet soups, preserves, steamed pastries and other Chinese snacks. Although milk tea is high in calories, it may suit girls' tastes... But although green milk is good, milk tea seems to require black tea.
?By the way, tea export sales are huge. Is black tea available now? But speaking of black tea, black tea seems to go better with European cakes and biscuits.
Zhang Shou was about to have a late lunch, but his mind was thinking of Chinese afternoon tea and English afternoon tea. He just got on his horse and wandered all the way out of the inner city. If it weren't for someone beside him who was controlling the direction.
Ah Liu, he didn't know where he was going. As for the eager gazes of some older girls and younger wives along the way, he had long been accustomed to ignore them.
And Ah Liu had long been accustomed to Zhang Shou's occasional distractions, so he directly held the reins of Zhang Shou in his own hands. When he arrived at the so-called guild hall area where various provincial guild halls gathered in the outer city, he found the Suzhou guild hall in a moment.
However, after a slight hesitation, he pulled Zhang Shou's horse and stopped outside the Yangzhou Guild Hall opposite.
He threw the reins of his horse to a Zhike who came out, and then turned around to help Zhang Shou off the horse. He saw that his young master was still thinking about it, and he went straight in without even having time to look up at the sign.
He didn't care about the horse before leaving. He helped Zhang Shou inside with both hands. When he passed the threshold, he didn't forget to remind him repeatedly.
It was already past dinner time, and there were only two or three tables of guests in the huge place on the first floor of the guild hall, which was originally used as a teahouse. Most of them were businessmen and scholars staying in the guild hall. But when they saw two strangers, they didn't
When the guests with their luggage came in, a young waiter knew they were here for dinner and immediately rushed over with a smile. However, as soon as he said "Old Customer", he was stunned by Ah Liu's name of the dish.
After announcing the names of eight dishes at once, Ah Liu stretched out two fingers to the dumbfounded boy and said, "Two portions of all."
As soon as the young boy heard this, he knew that he was actually a regular customer who had been here before. But looking at the master and servant in front of him, they were probably around 16 or 17 years old, and neither of them were tall and strong. He couldn't care less about the master and the servant.
It was against the rules to sit at the same table, so I couldn't help but remind him: "Old customer, I'm afraid the table won't fit in two servings each. Can you two really eat it? It would be a shame if it was a waste."
It wasn't until he heard the word "waste" that Zhang Shou came back to his senses. He didn't hear the previous conversation, so he said disapprovingly: "We both have great appetites, just do it."
However, when he saw the young man responding submissively and seeing several tea patrons not far away peeking at him, Zhang Shou felt that something was wrong. But Ah Liu looked calm, and he could only secretly think about having such a big stomach.
Wang Baodi thought it shouldn't matter. However, after waiting for a long time, he was finally shocked when he saw three waiters carrying long plates filled with food.
Ah Liu, what do you want to do? Do you think they are pigs? Can two people eat so much?
