Chapter 439 Students are easy to coax, children are easy to understand
"If that's all you're talking about, then just finish it. It's none of my business."
Ji Jiu was dumbfounded when he saw Zhang Shou yawning and showing an "I'm not interested" expression. After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said: "A tiger has no intention of harming others, but a tiger's heart is harmful to others. Teacher, you are a gentleman."
, so you don’t know the activities of those private academies. In order to compete for students and gain fame, they scheming, suppressing each other, and doing everything they can."
"Both the principals and gentlemen of those academies have been at each other's throats for many years. They attack each other's character just because of their different schools of thought. They also hope to become an official academy. Fortunately, they have not taken advantage of this since Emperor Taizu.
It's a trick, and if someone is proud of his knowledge and is not subject to conquest, then under the Taizu system, his students and disciples will never be allowed to enter the official position, so there are no real hermits in this dynasty."
"Thus, these people who open private academies to teach, even if they are not successful in their official career, still want their students to get ahead. This has been true for so many years. So don't look at the so-called conscription of these four
A great scholar is a Jinshi who only served as a county magistrate for one term and then became idle at home. The other three are all Juren, but their students..."
"That's a lot of Jinshi!"
Ji Jiu raised his voice again to emphasize. Seeing that Zhang Shou only showed an expression of interest, he didn't know whether people paid attention to his words, so he could only say with an extremely sincere attitude: "Teacher, these people are not even interested in Master Ge."
You don’t really buy it, let alone you who are young but famous? Moreover, you have also been the teacher of the third and fourth princes, so you are afraid that they have bad intentions!"
Zhang Shou was just pretending to be confused. Academic disputes have been the same from ancient times to the present. Otherwise, how could there be academic factions? And sometimes this thing really turns into a life-and-death dispute. Not to mention the debates among various schools of thought.
And later Confucianism suppressed Huang Lao and other factions, wishing to step on ten thousand feet... Anyway, in short, which dynasty and which generation of academic disputes can't fight to the death?
Of course, he could not and would not blame the emperor for thinking of recruiting four people from four academies to come to Beijing. If he were the emperor and wanted to develop various subjects, he would not have to rely on him alone. Don't talk about him.
The same goes for Ge Yong, the imperial master. If the academic elite hopes to unify the academic world, then the higher-ups without exception hope that a hundred flowers will bloom.
In this case, he should really be wary, because the phenomenon that the better the knowledge, the worse the character, is really very common.
However, Ji Jiu only introduced three people just now, and one of them even described himself as proficient in multiple Western languages. Could he understand that he was a person proficient in multiple languages?
English is still a minor language in this country, and French is not even that popular. Spanish... Because Spain is currently unifying, but it is still far away from achieving the achievement of the first empire on which the sun never sets, so the upper class of Europe has so far
The most popular language is probably Latin, so the question is, which languages does that guy learn?
When the Chinese language has been popularized in Haidong Continent by the descendants of Taizu's fleet who were exiled overseas, there are still great Confucians who are proficient in classics and meanings to learn foreign languages? This is really progressive! I'm sure they are not from the Foreign Languages Institute.
Is this what language geniuses wear?
"Well, I know everything." A lot of messy thoughts went through Zhang Shou's mind, and finally he nodded, and after thinking about it, he added, "You are serious, I will not take this matter lightly."
Seeing that Ji Jiu finally showed a happy expression, as if this compliment represented the supreme affirmation, Zhang Shou couldn't help but slightly change his previous understanding of this little oily guy. Of course, he knew this kid's ambition——
Otherwise, Ji Jiu would not have always been among the best in Banshan Hall, and he would have accepted Chu Kuan's instructions to take class notes for the emperor's review.
Lu Sanlang's ambition is different, everything is based on personal talents and interests; Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu are satisfied as long as they are independent from their original family, and being able to marry a princess and princess is a complete surprise; Zhang Chen hopes to grow up
If his father can look him in the eyes, it would be great if he could surpass his father Zhang Chuan; Zhu Er hopes not to be such a loser, always beaten by his father's eldest brother and sister...
Ji Jiu, on the other hand, is a very ambitious person who exploits every opportunity. But ambition is the original driving force for progress. In fact, he also needs this kind of person.
Therefore, seeing Ji Jiu's cheerful look, Zhang Shou nodded approvingly.
"If you feel that your studies are easy and you have too much free time, but you are not sure where to develop in the future, you might as well dabble in all aspects and find your direction. The first and second volumes of my elementary physics have just been printed.
You can come and have a look. Over at the Siyi Museum's interpreter, you might as well learn overseas writing to see if you have any talent. You can also learn about water control and construction..."
Before Zhang Shou could finish speaking, Ji Jiu suddenly asked: "Teacher, can I give it a try for the second enrollment period of Jiuzhangtang this year?"
Zhang Shou didn't expect Ji Jiu to ask such a question. He couldn't help but look at the person with interest, and then asked with a smile: "Why not?"
Before Ji Jiu, who was beaming with joy, could speak, he said slowly: "Although the third prince and the fourth prince are young, they also said they want to take the Jiuzhangtang exam. But I don't think they have a chance of passing the exam this year. Of course, I can't say for sure.
Even though they are young, they have very good qualifications, and the latest edition of Gurdjieff's arithmetic is available in the palace, and the emperor himself teaches them while reading it."
If Ji Jiu was just testing, then after getting Zhang Shou's answer now, he was completely determined. The third prince and the fourth prince actually planned to take the Jiuzhangtang exam, what else could he say? While the eldest prince was imprisoned, the second prince was
After the prince was punished and the queen was deposed, the two little princes who had been ignored by countless people actually became very popular!
Thinking of this, Ji Jiu immediately bowed his head and saluted: "Thank you teacher for reminding me, I will definitely do my best!"
He had already seen a question just now. Although Zhang Shou might change it afterwards, he could at least take a good look at the similar chapters about these in "New Edition of Gurdjieff's Arithmetic". Even if he misses this year, there will be next year or even the next year.
Year, the third prince and the fourth prince may not be able to pass the exam this year, but he must give it a try!
"Well, then you work hard. My teacher, Mr. Qi and Mr. Chu will probably compile a few books on auditing and accounts. There may be sample books published in the next few days. If you are interested, wait for the printing.
After you come out, you can go to Lu Sanlang's bookstore to buy a copy and take it back to read. Although I won't be able to make it to Guanglu Temple to check the accounts, maybe you can use it in the accounting office at home."
Seeing Ji Jiu's eyes lit up, he thanked him again and again before leaving. Zhang Shou stretched his body and then returned to Jiuzhang Hall. He saw that several students were still maintaining their previous postures.
He knew that probably no one had noticed what he had just said to Ji Jiu.
For these supervisors, most of whom come from poor backgrounds, it is better to grasp the present than to worry about things that are too far away.
So, Zhang Shou clapped his hands gently, and when several people raised their heads, he smiled and said: "Okay, you should also pay attention to the balance between work and rest. Just now Ji Jiu slipped over, which shows that other halls
It’s time for break between classes. There are only a few of you left these days, and the lectures have stopped. I always ask you to study by yourself or do questions. It seems that I am too harsh as a teacher."
He smiled and then said word by word: "I asked you to give each other questions to test each other before. Now are you interested in using your brains to test your future juniors, that is, the junior brothers in the second period?"
"Of course, you can't take the exam with your current courses. The overall difficulty can be kept slightly higher than the two exams you took. How about, do you have the confidence to show your abilities as senior brothers?"
His obvious question was naturally met with eager and overjoyed responses from the supervisors below.
Originally, there were only a few of them left out of dozens of people. Even if they had not been rotated under Wang Datou, the governor of Xuanda, or had done internships at Daming Public School, they could not be regarded as nerds who had never practiced.
But when others are busy, I can only stay here to study, so of course I am a little unconfident.
But now, Zhang Shou's words helped them find the focus of their work for the next few days. Especially when Zhang Shou added with a smile, he said that they can think carefully about all the questions for the written test and interview.
The questions may also be selected from the test questions given by their senior brothers, and each of them will become more energetic.
Finally, when Zhang Shou walked away from Jiuzhang Hall at noon, he felt relaxed and happy. He once despised some tutors in later generations who treated their students as long-term workers, but now he exploits his students... Well, he sends students when there is something.
It's actually pretty good.
Since he and Lu Sanlang no longer have dormitories in the Imperial College, he met up with Ah Liu who came to pick him up on time under the university archway of the Imperial Academy. In fact, he never knew when Ah Liu arrived and how long he waited.
Where did they go in the morning? Then the master and servant went to Xiao's house not far away.
As for the Liu family next door who finally had an owner again - Mr. Liu was picked up by Lu Sanlang early in the morning, and the two went to work together. As a former minister of the Ministry of War, even if Liu Zhiyuan only served as an adviser to Lu Sanlang, the little fat man
He is already lucky enough.
As soon as Zhang Shou entered the Xiao family gate, he heard Little Peanut's extremely painful wailing: "How come there are so many questions that can't be finished? Didn't the young master tell me to go to Jiuzhang Hall to work as a handyman? Why?
I'm stuck here doing the questions, I'd rather go to work... Ouch, little Xiaozi, why are you hitting someone!"
"Sixth brother said, if you are lazy, I will spank you with a ruler! It's useless, I am so much younger than you, and I do a lot of questions every day! Don't forget, when your salty uncle came over this morning,
And I scold you for not knowing how blessed you are despite being blessed."
"You are you, and I am me! I have not been a material for reading since I was a child... I would rather farm the fields, carry water, herd cattle, watch the door and sing in operas, than do these questions that make me dizzy at first sight!"
Listening to the low-level quarrel between these two minors, Zhang Shou couldn't help but smile at first, but when he heard Little Peanut's crazy complaints, he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart.
Because of Lao Xianyu and the fact that Xiao Peanut is indeed a very well-behaved boy, he deliberately cultivated this boy, but he did not expect that this boy turned out to be a student with learning difficulties, far less self-conscious than Xiao Cheng. Although the latter was young
, but as long as you use Zhu Tingfang to encourage you, people will be full of fighting spirit.
Otherwise, how could Xiao Cheng study while doing miscellaneous things? He has mastered Tang poetry and the four arithmetic operations very well, and the math problems he can do now have exceeded four-digit addition and subtraction, and three-digit multiplication and division? You know, talent is so small!
Therefore, he stopped at the door and listened, and found that the little peanut inside was being slapped with a ruler and was screaming, but he only dared to complain and curse, and did not dare to resist the discipline, so he suddenly coughed. Following a burst of rapid footsteps, he saw
Xiao Cheng ran out quickly, followed closely by Little Peanut, who was sweating profusely and even limped a little. It was obvious that Xiao Cheng had just slapped him badly.
By the way, that little Douding who is at least a head shorter than Little Peanut actually dares to slap him!
Compared to Xiao Cheng who jumped up to call Brother Zhang, and then started to proudly show off how much homework he had done today, and then started to ask when he would go to Jiuzhangtang to clean up in the afternoon, Xiao Huahua only felt that he was worthless.
Because of those four arithmetic problems, I was so irritated that I was sweating profusely, and now even my back was covered in cold sweat from fear.
And Zhang Shou's next words succeeded in forcing him to sweat profusely by less than half.
"There are only a few people left in Jiuzhangtang these days, and there isn't much to do. Cleaning only takes place once in the morning. Jiuzhangtang has self-study in the afternoon, so you don't have to go there. But Lu Sanlang and Mr. Liu are away.
The city is warming up for the Royal Chef Selection Competition, and I heard that a theater troupe will be invited to sing and help out. I think it will be very lively, do you want to go?"
"I think!" This overjoyed and hesitant voice naturally belonged to Little Peanut.
"I don't want to!" This resolute and flat voice undoubtedly belonged to Xiao Cheng.
So, the two boys who had only been together for a few days looked at each other. Little Peanut was puzzled that Xiao Cheng didn't like to join in the fun at such a young age, while Xiao Cheng was puzzled by Little Peanut's laziness that didn't like to study.
However, the former was unwilling to give up this rare opportunity to meet famous actors in the capital, while the latter was unwilling to waste precious time. The two of them immediately repeated their previous answers, and then started glaring at each other again.
"Okay, since one of us wants to go and the other doesn't want to go, then Xiao Cheng, please accompany us out of the city to have a look. When we come back, I will take little Peanut to accompany you to study and do questions."
Seeing that Xiao Cheng opened his mouth and still wanted to fight, he didn't even look at the ecstatic little peanut, and said with a smile: "We are not just going to watch the excitement, but we are also going to see if Mr. Liu is still alive after returning to Beijing.
The sword is not old yet."
As he said this, Zhang Shou thought in his heart, if Little Peanut could pretend to be a woman and seduce the eldest prince, must he be a natural star, right?
