Four hundred and ninetieth chapters seek common ground while reserving differences
The first-year supervisors of the Jiuzhang Hall of the Imperial College had no way of knowing what kind of lively scene the Xinglong Teahouse was on the rematch day. Because the matter of choosing the chief of the cell really posed a very big problem for them. The most important thing was
Yes, the third prince, who was originally the most qualified to dominate everyone in terms of status, was actually excluded from the candidates by Zhang Shou!
However, except for the Third Prince, who is a minor, everyone else is an adult after all. The three cobblers can still stand up to Zhuge Liang. After someone raised his voice, after this noisy morning, the chief of the restaurant came out with something new.
When Zhang Shou, who had had a very lively lunch and returned from Xinglong Teahouse in the outer city, quietly walked to the gate of Jiuzhangtang, he found that no one was empty, but it was full of people. Standing on the podium
Ji Jiuzheng of the Central Committee asked word for word: "Are there any objections to the provisions of Article 9? If you object, please raise your hands. If you don't object, it will be passed!"
Hearing these words, Zhang Shou couldn't help but smile, and he had a sense of immediacy in a modern meeting - if someone said they were in favor, please raise their hands, maybe not everyone would raise their hands; but if someone said they were opposed, please raise their hands, most of them would
At that time, no one would bother to come out to oppose and stand on the opposite side of everyone. From this point of view, Ji Jiu is another kind of genius.
"Okay, in that case, we have passed these nine rules, and they will be tentatively set as the rules for the first grade of our Jiuzhang Hall in the future. Of course, the rules of the Imperial College must be abided by. Xu Heizi from the Shengxing Hall was here before.
He has been watching our selection of the chief priest all morning. He always likes to find fault with him, so everyone should always pay attention..."
Just looking at Ji Jiuna and Lu Sanlang's tone of guarding against fire and theft, Zhang Shou couldn't help but want to laugh. But when he found that there was no objection or any laughter, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
I wonder if Xu Heizi came over this morning and put a lot of psychological pressure on these students?
Immediately afterwards, Ji Jiu made a suggestion that surprised him: "Zheng Rong is young, but I think we don't need to take too much care of him. He was also very good at taking care of himself when he was in Banshan Hall.
I suggest that if the teacher cannot take care of it and needs someone to take over, if we need to recommend someone from our grade to take over, start with him."
The panicked voice of the third prince then sounded: "Me? No, no, I can't do it, it's you, Chief Ji Zhai..."
Before the third prince could finish his words, Ji Jiu interrupted him: "Zheng Rong, have you forgotten the time of the previous entrance interview? You asked us so many questions that time that we almost doubted our life... Don't put this
The questions are all given by the teacher to excuse you. I was once a student at Banshan Hall, so I don’t remember them as clearly as you."
"Furthermore, the first person to talk has the least psychological burden, because no one can compare with you, so you can show off all your skills first. Besides, isn't this also the rule for teachers in interviews, based on age?
?”
The third prince was speechless by Ji Jiu's few words. After a long while, he replied calmly: "Okay, I'll give it a try. Just don't laugh at me... But I think it won't be when the teacher needs someone to take over the class."
, let’s make this kind of preparation again. In fact, the teaching materials are all ready-made. We can preview them in advance and then take turns teaching them to everyone. If the explanation is not clear, we can ask the teacher to come forward.”
He was a little stumbling at first, but gradually he became more fluent, and unknowingly he raised a question that had been lingering in his mind these days.
"In the past, when my father taught me and my fourth brother about Master Ge's "New Edition of Arithmetic," he would not be impatient to explain it one by one. Instead, he would let us read the book by ourselves first, and then ask questions, and he would answer them one by one. If he couldn't understand it again,
Yes, take us to ask Patriarch Ge for advice. I heard that it seems to be like this no matter the other six halls of the Imperial College or major academies around the world?"
"Teacher just gives a general lecture. Answering questions depends on whether the disciple is a close disciple. So most students need to work hard and think on their own. If they can't figure it out, it means they have poor understanding?"
"During the few months I stayed in the Imperial College, I heard that even Suixingtang didn't teach every day in the past. It was because the teachers in Banshan Hall and Jiuzhang Hall gave lectures in person every day, which gave them a sense of crisis. Those national
Only then did academic officials such as Dr. Zi and teaching assistants begin to have to do this? However, in the past, Han Changli Gong had an article "Teacher's Theory", didn't it say, 'A teacher is someone who preaches, teaches, and solves doubts'?"
When the third prince said this, some students who had never attended an academy looked at each other, but some of them had attended a private academy, and some of them immediately shook their heads.
"This is normal. Regardless of whether it is a private school or an academy, when students are admitted, their studies depend on themselves. If you don't rely on yourself to ask more questions, make more friends on your own, help each other, and make progress together, you will just study hard by yourself, unless you have top-notch qualifications."
"But even those who are top-notch in qualifications but aloof from others, who study hard by themselves, and finally pass the exams and become Jinshi, may not actually have any great achievements. Because most people who have no friends don't
Being popular with teachers often makes it difficult to get along well with superiors and subordinates in the officialdom. Therefore, even if they have outstanding abilities, people with such high prestige often fail quickly."
The third prince was suddenly stunned. He had grown up with the fourth prince since he was a child. As a member of the royal family, of course he could not be called a close friend. It was only later that he was released by his father to go to Banshan Hall, and only then could he finally talk to others.
But the age difference between the two of them and the others is too big, so they can't talk about anything in common. Although most of the dudes who come from wealthy backgrounds are very good at social affairs, and people including Ji Jiu often pay attention to their brothers, but Zhang
Shou kept a close watch, and the two chiefs, Zhang Chen and Zhu Er, also warned many people.
Therefore, the third prince has not been exposed to too many ugly things, and has always believed that a good person should have a smooth life. Just like when he studied history with teachers selected by several emperors, those people told him about famous people in ancient and modern times.
Such an example!
Even though Zhang Shou's lecture on history in Banshan Hall was unrealistic, and even though he had heard of the White Horse Disaster, a tragic massacre that eventually broke out due to class and group conflicts over time, it was hard for the third prince to believe how outstanding a group of unsophisticated scholars who followed rebellious ministers and traitors could be.
Therefore, he has always regarded the concept that the emperor instilled in him as a maxim of wisdom.
But now someone told him that even if an outstanding person finally stands out, if he is too aloof, his wings will eventually be broken.
Therefore, at this moment, he frowned in an unacceptable way, and then said seriously: "Then in the future, everyone must not get into trouble alone. If you have problems, bring them up. Let's discuss them more and make more friends. Don't be alone."
He is a very good teacher...and the teacher is very nice. He is very willing to answer everyone’s questions and solve their doubts. He is a very good teacher.”
Hearing the third prince describe him in such a matter-of-fact tone, even though Zhang Shou had developed a very thick skin due to too many compliments in the past two years, he still felt a little blushing.
You know, compared to the teachers in private schools or academies mentioned by the third prince who teach by word of mouth and then let the students understand on their own, teachers like him are actually lazier. They have thrown things to students before and then called them training, then
That's the best example.
From the end of last year to the few months before the Chinese New Year, he had to go to class every morning and afternoon, and only took one day off every ten days. This was the most diligent period of his life. He was really exhausted, so he had been there for a long time.
I'm thinking of hiring a student teaching assistant to help.
You know, no matter which era the teacher is from, he really answers every student's questions... Where does the time come from, and where does the energy come from?
Only teachers who are hired by wealthy families with large sums of money and only teach one or two children can barely survive!
With this thought in his mind, Zhang Shou finally coughed heavily and walked out.
He saw that the room was completely silent at first, then Ji Jiu on the stage looked at himself at the door with an astonished expression. Heads in the huge Jiuzhang Hall suddenly turned around, and when they saw it was him, they all turned around again.
Turning back, Zhang Shou couldn't help but think of the scene in which later generations of teachers raided self-study classes.
He shook his head in amusement, and then stepped into the threshold: "Look, you have elected the chief of the prison?"
Ji Jiu saw Zhang Shou looking at him with a half-smile but not a smile. Even though he was elected as the chief of the village today by everyone, and he could not talk about using any means, he still felt a little guilty. Fortunately, he immediately put this emotion aside.
Pressed down.
"Teacher, everyone has never experienced recommending and being recommended, so I volunteered to stand up and suggested that those who want to be the chief of the fast come up and tell them why they want to be the chief of the fast and what they plan to do after becoming the chief of the fast. You can
How can I help everyone? It just so happened that Xu Jiancheng of the Shengqi Department came here, and Zheng Rong did not participate in the election, so I suggested that Zheng Rong and Xu Jiancheng should be there to supervise the voting."
He paused and his tone had completely calmed down: "After all, the teacher trusts us, and it would be bad if cheating occurs. And, since I was the first to propose it, I will be the first to stand up and speak my mind.
talk."
When the third prince saw that Zhang Shou had walked to the edge of the podium, he quickly stood up and said, "Yes, Chief Ji was the first to say that he wanted to be the chief of the prison. He said a lot of things from his heart, and I listened a lot.
Very touched and inspired..."
It is relatively normal for Zhang Shou to feel very inspired. After all, with the third prince's relatively poor experience, it would not be difficult for Ji Jiu to deceive this boy. However, the third prince specifically emphasized that he was very moved in the front, but he was
Somewhat confused.
However, it was definitely not the right time to ask such a topic, so he just smiled and nodded at the little guy.
However, the third prince, who felt encouraged, became more and more confident. He held his head high and said: "Furthermore, after becoming the chief of the fast, he also encouraged everyone to come up and compete to be the chief of the fast, because the chief of the fast does not mean to be condescending and control other people."
Classmates also mean a kind of responsibility..."
Hearing that the third prince began to preach about the responsibilities of the chief of the village for Ji Jiu, Zhang Shou couldn't help but smile and glance at Ji Jiu again. Although he tried to look at him calmly, his expression was clearly very nervous. He knew this Huaxu
The boy who is able to interact with Chu Kuan must have won the post of chief with three points of sincerity and seven points of eloquence.
Therefore, before the third prince really explained everyone's "campaign platform", he interrupted with a smile: "Zheng Rong, I met the emperor and your fourth brother at Xinglong Tea House before. The emperor said, you always I can only spend half a day in Jiuzhang Hall, and I have to go back to the palace for the rest of the time to attend classes. It’s already past afternoon, why don’t you go back to the palace?”
"I……"
The third prince did not expect that Zhang Shou would actually ask this question that he had never wanted to ask. His expression suddenly changed. After hesitating the word "I", he couldn't say anything. He seemed to feel that everyone else around him was surprised. Looking at himself in a strange place, surprised by the difference between him and others, and thinking about how he insisted on being called by his name before, he felt ashamed.
"You said before that you hoped that your classmates and I would all call you by your name Zheng Rong. I did so, and judging from Ji Jiulang's intention, others should also do the same. However, I hope you can understand that one's family background is You are born with it, there is no need to avoid it. Although everyone calls you the third prince, it is to respect your origin, but it is also to respect the emperor who can make the world peaceful and prosperous."
"So, don't think that everyone can't accept your differences from others."
Seeing that the third prince's somewhat sad eyes had gradually recovered, Zhang Shou smiled and said: "Facing the differences between yourself and others instead of forcing the same is also a sign of growth. Okay, although it is already late today, but you It’s not too late to go back to the palace soon. Remember to tell the emperor all the things you haven’t finished just now about choosing the chief of the meal.”
"Okay!" The third prince nodded solemnly, and then began to pack up the textbooks he had brought. Finally, he bowed respectfully to Zhang Shou, and then bowed his hands to the others one by one. Then he said, "Teacher, everyone, I will go back to the palace first. See you tomorrow. Farewell!"
After watching the third prince hurried back, Zhang Shou glanced at the others and saw that most of them looked as normal, which made him quite satisfied.
"What I just said to Zheng Rong is actually also said to you. Among you, there are officials and officials like Ji Jiu, businessmen, poor scholars, accounting disciples, and ordinary people who are just good at arithmetic since childhood. people."
"We all have different backgrounds, and our future prospects will definitely be different, but now we are all sitting here. If we cannot face these differences, if we cannot seek common ground while reserving differences, then all kinds of disputes will definitely occur in the future."
"So, I hope you will take a good look at those second-year seniors. Not only have their performance been remarkable this year, but from the beginning to the end, there has never been any unpleasantness among the classmates, so you'd better study hard. Learn from them. There are dark and treacherous corners everywhere in this world, but in this hard-earned school, try to keep such activities to a minimum."
Speaking of this, Zhang Shou did not look at Ji Jiu's expression at this time and said directly: "I asked you to choose the chief of the prison this morning. Next, I will do one more thing, which is to group. This time, a total of thirty people were admitted. If there are two people, eight people will form a group, and they will be divided into four groups in total. However, this time it is not free grouping, but... drawing lots. Zheng Rong is not here, so I will take his place."
"Such a grouping will continue until you leave Jiuzhangtang."
