The wedding was coming soon. Even in Jiuzhangtang, Zhang Shou received a lot of congratulations. Even the freshmen in Jiuzhangtang all tried their best to congratulate him on his upcoming marriage to Zhu Ying. But compared to this upcoming event,
He was overjoyed, but what made him even more worried was that on the one hand, he had to teach numbers and physics, and on the other hand, because of his promise to the third and fourth princes, he had to lecture on foreign history at the Sutra Banquet.
If Lu Sanlang hadn't been able to teach him often, he wouldn't have been able to cut it in half by himself!
Therefore, he left the marriage to the Wu family to discuss with the Zhu family of the Duke of Zhao. As for the continued improvement and commercial development of the pendulum clock, he also left it to Guan Qiu and Zhu Ying, and even the emperor and the fourth prince.
When he visited the workshop incognito, he just pretended not to know about it. As for the suspicious person sneaking into the workshop... he didn't care.
If you have the ability, secretly learn all his mathematics, physics and chemistry knowledge, then integrate it, and then apply the knowledge into practice to create better products!
He was just lucky to meet Guan Qiu who could draw inferences from one instance and to have the mechanical watch, a relic of Taizu, as a guide. Otherwise, he would never have been able to make a pendulum clock. God knows how much he wasted on those escapements and transmission mechanisms.
How much effort did it take to draw a rough sketch for Guan Qiu to see, and then explain it clearly and I don’t know how much time it took!
Until now, he, a time traveler, has not been able to break out the glass, so the dial can only be made of white crystal! Zhao Si and Luo Xiaoxiao, two people who have retired from weaving and spinning machinery, are leading a group of craftsmen on the
In the yard behind the underground workshop, he was studying burning glass day and night! As for whether there was an informant from the emperor, he didn't care at all, since he didn't want to be rich anyway.
At this time, when Zhang Shou received a notice from Lu Sanlang early in the morning that the audit of Guanglu Temple had been completed, and even the Jiuzhangtang students who had been trained in the household department were about to return with them, he finally had to
Not facing a tougher problem.
There is such a Jiuzhang Hall, and students from two classes have to attend classes together. There are not enough teachers, and there are not enough classrooms. So what should we do?
Just as he assigned a bunch of exercises to the students as usual, and then went to the door of Jiuzhang Hall to cool down and think, he saw Zhou Jijiu and Luo Siye coming hand in hand from outside, walking fast and fast, clearly looking anxious.
His expression. He stepped forward to greet them with some surprise. Before he could ask the two of them their intentions, Luo Siye was there in front of them.
"Dr. Zhang, the emperor gave an edict to several academicians in the cabinet, saying that the eldest prince will be demoted to a commoner and imprisoned in Zongzheng Temple for life. If he is not pardoned, he will also send the second prince to Qiongzhou Mansion to plant a sacred tree! Not to mention that he will not be pardoned.
Do you know that we are going to appoint a crown prince?"
Zhang Shou naturally showed a surprised expression: "Is this happening?" Even though I know, I have to pretend not to know!
Seeing that Zhang Shou was obviously shocked, Zhou Jijiu thought that he was finally well-informed, and felt a little better. He then said seriously: "Dr. Zhang, you have to know that although this is not an explicit intention,
, but since the news has been spread, it is very likely that the Holy Will has been decided, and the matter is a done deal, and there is no room for recovery, so..."
He drawled a long note, hoping that Zhang Shou would pick up the conversation, but to his disappointment, Zhang Shou not only didn't take the conversation, but instead looked at him with blank eyes: "So what? Da Sicheng
Can you make it clear?"
Zhou Jijiu was almost pissed to death by Zhang Shou, who was pretending to be a bully! But how could he say that if the eldest prince and the second prince were really kicked out, then once the prince is established, the third prince in your Jiuzhang Hall will be the hottest incense.
Hey, as a teacher, it is best for you, as a teacher, to allow other academic officials of the Imperial College to get a share of the pie, so that everyone can earn the reputation of being the prince's teacher now, the prince's teacher in the future, and the emperor's teacher in the future!
Luo Siye had to force out a smile. If it had been any academic officer, he would have been able to join forces with Zhou Jijiu to convincingly bring out a student like the Third Prince - he did not expect to be a teacher, but he could
At least I hope to become familiar with the young future Prince of the East Palace.
But facing Zhang Shou, he could only say sincerely: "Dr. Zhang, this news should have reached the four mountain chiefs on the Yashe side. If they came to the capital to be the prince's division before, then they haven't been there yet."
If they have a clear goal, then they must be rushing forward with all their strength! Looking back at the Sutra Banquet, you will be them..."
Before Luo Siye could say the words "biggest rival", Zhang Shou said calmly: "Speaking of which, there is something I forgot to tell Da Sicheng and Shao Sicheng. I saw them when I entered the palace a few days ago.
When he was the emperor, and at his request, I would only talk about foreign history at the banquet. Uncle Weinan from the Ordnance Bureau happened to have a lot of information, which saved me the trouble of talking about other things."
Zhou Jijiu and Luo Siye were immediately choked to death by Zhang Shou.
The last time Zhang Shou gave a lecture at the Imperial College, he won praise from many supervisors and graduate students because he told a section of foreign history that no one knew about. Looking back, Zhang Shou still wants to teach it at the Jingyan? That is not top-notch.
Even if the minister of civil and military affairs is a well-educated scholar, Zhang Shou is not afraid of making fun of the Fang family!
What's more, are these guys easy to deal with? You can find fault in an egg. Just a few words about a barbaric country that doesn't follow etiquette. Its rise and fall is of no importance at all. All your hard-working preparations can be wiped out!
Zhang Shou didn't care about Zhou Jijiu and Luo Siye's disapproval, and said to himself: "I told the emperor that except for arithmetic - of course I prefer to call it mathematics - I am not very good at anything else.
So what I can teach the third prince is mathematics, and the rest can only be asked by the emperor to hire someone else. As for the stories of the rise and fall of these foreign countries, they are actually based on history, nothing more."
Everything they could say was snatched away by Zhang Shou, and Zhou Jijiu and Luo Siye suddenly felt bitter. However, if they had hoped that the four mountain chiefs could dampen Zhang Shou's spirit before, then now they
I don’t want this to be the case at all.
If the third prince is in Jiuzhangtang, he is at least a member of the Imperial College. But if the four mountain chiefs get the upper hand and he is taught by them alone in the palace, what good will it do to the Imperial College? What good will it do to them?
?
Seeing the uncertain expressions of Zhou Jijiu and Luo Siye, Zhang Shou said with a smile but not a smile: "I have something to discuss with Da Sicheng and Shao Sicheng. You know, Jiuzhangtang sent to Xuan Da to assist Wang
Most of Zongxian's students are coming back, and the affairs of Guanglu Temple and the Ministry of Finance are almost coming to an end. As a result, the two groups of students combined will no longer be able to sit in the Jiuzhang Hall."
Although the emperor had previously inspected the Imperial College, with a wave of his hand, the Ministry of Household Affairs had indeed allocated money. Nowadays, the Imperial College is undergoing extensive construction projects everywhere. The emperor even generously allocated a piece of land next to the Imperial College to build a dormitory for the imperial students. As for the original one,
The dilapidated old school building is planned to be demolished and rebuilt into a new one.
However, these classrooms, which are still on paper, have already been divided up by a large number of academic officials through private discussions. Where is the share of Jiuzhang Hall? In his view and other academic officers, Jiuzhang Hall has already taken over.
With such a huge advantage, now we only have this small number of people, and we still have to compete with the other six halls for space? Now Zhang Shou is also in charge of Banshan Hall, so he can use those noble disciples as an excuse!
Zhou Jijiu was not willing to compromise on such a matter, so he immediately coughed.
"Dr. Zhang, you must also understand the difficulties of the Imperial College. There are more people in other halls than Jiuzhang Hall, but there are always too many monks and too few people. This house really cannot be moved. Although the emperor vacated the land before, there are still many places near the Imperial College.
The North City was originally sparsely populated, but over the past hundred years, it has become lined with various houses and shops, and it can no longer expand."
"Well, I know that Da Sicheng and Shao Sicheng have difficulties." Zhang Shou nodded, as if he didn't want to argue anymore.
When Luo Siye calmly pulled Zhou Jijiu away, the two principals and vice-chancellors of the highest university in the Ming Dynasty continued to make excuses. Then he said slowly: "In fact, before Lu Jijiu from the public school
I mentioned that the public school outside the city is currently under construction. There is plenty of land and even more houses. Since many Jiuzhangtang students are working part-time there, it is better to move the entire Jiuzhangtang there."
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Siye, who had originally planned to agree with Zhou Jijiu, took a deep breath. He almost subconsciously shouted angrily, "A public school is a public school, and the Imperial College is the Imperial College. How can they be confused! Dr. Zhang, don't forget,
You, the students of Jiuzhangtang, are all supervisors after all, and they don’t want to be confused with the sons of traffickers and lackeys!”
Those supervisors from humble backgrounds are willing to do so, but how can officials' children like Ji Jiu and nobles like the third prince be willing to condescend to them in this way?
"Isn't there nothing I can do?"
Zhang Shou remained calm and composed as before, and spread his hands helplessly: "It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Since the doctors in the Imperial College Doctoral Hall have always felt that Jiuzhangtang is really out of place in the Imperial College, what else can I do? I'm hiring now.
After two terms, there is already not enough space and not enough people, so what about next year and the year after that?"
Before Zhou Jijiu and Luo Siye could react, he chuckled and said: "Since so many people think that besides the Sixth Hall of the Imperial College, the Banshan Hall and the Jiuzhang Hall are all redundant. Now that there is not enough space in the Imperial College, the Banshan Hall
The place has been vacated. This huge place in Jiuzhangtang is occupied by a group of farmers, butchers, businessmen and the like, so why not give it up too? Then I will give it up."
Seeing that Zhang Shou actually brought up the exchange of classrooms between Banshan Hall and Suixing Hall, and also brought out the exact words of a certain academic officer in the Doctoral Hall who were angry and resentful, the two pictures of Zhou Jijiu and Luo Siye
His face was completely gloomy.
The sutra banquet is about to begin, and Zhang Shou is clearly about to fight against all the wise men on his own, but at this critical juncture, he would rather leave the Imperial College alone!
If they were allowed to succeed, they might as well stop being the priests and winemakers!
Just when Zhou Jijiu and Luo Siye were about to go all out and argue, they suddenly heard a weak voice: "Teacher, Chief Ji Zhai asked me to ask, teacher, what are the questions you have assigned?
One solution, or multiple solutions?”
Seeing the third prince coming out of the door hesitantly with a shy smile on his face, and glancing at them in surprise, Luo Siye quickly took a handful of Zhouji wine, and then forced out a smile.
.
"Since Dr. Zhang is giving a lecture, Mr. Zhang and I won't be bothered anymore."
Even though he was shocked and angry, Zhou Jijiu didn't want to show his ugly face in front of the third prince. He immediately nodded to the third prince in a polite manner and bowed in return in a very polite manner. He couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart for such a well-educated and sensible person.
Why did the student just fall in love with Zhang Shou? After turning around and leaving, he realized that Luo Siye had also quickly caught up with him, and he immediately snorted.
"This is absolutely impossible!"
Luo Siye agreed knowingly: "Yes, this is absolutely impossible. Those students who took the Jiuzhangtang exam were not only after the teacher Zhang Shou, but also for the name of the Imperial College and the name of the supervisor.
Head. As long as we insist that if Jiuzhangtang moves away, we will definitely not be given the title of supervisor, and presumably they themselves will also put pressure on Zhang Shou!"
Zhou Jijiu said decisively: "That's right. If he wants to start a new business, he also wants to see if others recognize the name!"
At the door of Jiuzhang Hall, Zhang Shou saw the third prince looking at the retreating figures of Zhou Jijiu and Luo Siye, pressing his chest and letting out a long sigh of relief. He couldn't help but smile and said: "What, Zheng Rong, did you hear me?"
You were arguing with someone outside, so you came out to support me?"
"Hehe." The third prince smiled sheepishly, and then whispered, "Because the voices of the teacher and the elder Sicheng and the younger Sicheng were both loud, I heard it. I didn't dare to come out at first, but it was Ji Zhai
The chief said, I might as well come out and have a look. If I'm lucky, Da Sicheng and Shao Sicheng might leave in anger, and he really guessed it..."
Knowing that it was Ji Jiu who persuaded the third prince to come out, Zhang Shou couldn't help but smile. Looking at the third prince who was smiling sincerely, he couldn't help but touched the little guy's head, and then took the third prince's hand.
He went straight into Jiuzhang Hall. Although at first glance, most people were writing furiously, as if they were concentrating on solving problems, but he knew that many people were simply distracted.
He sent the third prince to his seat, and then walked to the front, gently patted the podium with the awakening wood, and when everyone looked up in a hurry, he said lightly: "I was telling them just now, since
The Imperial College cannot spare enough buildings to accommodate the two generations of Jiuzhangtang supervisors, so Jiuzhangtang might as well move to the outer city. After all, the public school has plenty of land and buildings."
Some people pricked up their ears and listened briefly to the conversation he had just had with Zhou Jijiu and Luo Siye, but some people were too busy doing the questions to pay attention. When he said this, there was an immediate buzz in the classroom.
There was a buzz of discussion.
"I know that many nobles and young men from wealthy families don't care about the title of Imperial College Student, but many of you still care about it. But in the Imperial College, what you learn is completely different from the sage books in the other six halls. I believe
Everyone has received a lot of cold looks. In contrast, anyone who has taught in a public school for a few days has experienced what it feels like to be respected."
Zhang Shou observed the expressions of the students as he spoke. Seeing that most of them had complicated expressions, and a small number of them were a little unwilling, he said in a deep voice: "The reason why I raised this matter is because your seniors are about to leave."
Xuanda Governor's Mansion, returned from Guanglu Temple with great honors from the Ministry of Household Affairs. So many people have made great achievements and are highly praised. Is it because they are supervisors? Is it because they come from Jiuzhang Hall? "
"No, it's because they are studious and self-motivated. It's because they have enough talent to do things that others can't do. Even if they graduate, they will all have a bright future! The reason is very simple.
In your career, you should know how to regulate your energy and make yourself prosperous!"
