Chapter 243 - Arithmetic Ninety-Nine Tables, Flood (Ask for a Monthly Pass Subscription, 2)
Li Xin and Meng Yi looked at each other, both remembering the fear of being dominated by Bai Ji. Thinking that in the Peach Blossom Garden, the two of them washed laundry and dishes, chopped firewood and hunted, all of which had to be done by themselves. I didn't think about it, I had to wash it myself when I came to eat a meal today.
There is a well outside the door, and there are buckets of grass and wood ash next to it. Qin Shi Huang didn't care, knowing that it was the rules here. Rinse it with water for a while, then add some plant ash to it. Directly rolled up the wide sleeves and rubbed hard. The waiter next to him was so frightened that he almost knelt on the ground, this kind of heavy work Qin Shi Huang actually did it himself?
"Get to work, pig's head!"
The silly eagle circled through the air, urging several wild boars to pull the cart and float by. It's a shame that they can't understand the birds, otherwise it would be embarrassing......
Li Sifeng Quji and the others all smiled bitterly, the emperor did it himself, so naturally they had to follow suit. Many children looked at it directly, and they were all dumbfounded.
This situation has not been seen since ancient times.
A brick can shoot several princes to death, all of them are top nobles. Now we all have to roll up our sleeves and wash the trays, wash them and drain them before putting them back in the tray cabinet. In fact, not only that, but it will also be steamed at high temperature in the future. Dietary hygiene is extremely important, and Bai Ji does not want to suffer from this disease.
After eating and drinking, I walked around first. Shang Shan Sihao and other great sages prepared to review the test papers, which were more than 800 copies. There are many Qianshou who can't even write their names, so they have to be helped by the invigilator. There are many white rolls, and it is slightly better on Xungui's side.
"It seems that Qianshou is still stupid after that."
After Zhou Qingchen flipped through a few test papers, he couldn't help shaking his head. Li Chun: No matter how foolish they are, the foundation of these foundations will still be there. Similar to "The Way of the Officials" and the Ninety-Nine Song Metropolis.
Ninety-nine songs are similar to the ninety-nine multiplication tables of later generations, except that they are fewer. From 13 to 19 to 9, none of these seven items are included. Bai Ji asked Chun Yuyue to know that Jiujiu Song was simply a basic exercise. Even many Qiandu capitals will sing two sentences.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a little story about the Ninety-Nine Song. At that time, Duke Qi Huan wanted to make Qi dominate the world, so he issued a notice to recruit talents. One day, a scholar came, and in front of Duke Qi Huan and the courtiers, he recited the Jiujiu Song on the spot. As a result, the hall burst into laughter, and even Qi Huan Gong felt extremely ridiculous, so he said: This ninety-nine song, my Qi country even a child. The other party is also very smart, and threatens that if you even pay attention to people like me, there will definitely be more talented people coming.
Today's ninety-nine songs are somewhat similar to the children's songs of later generations, many children can sing them, but they can't write them. Because they are illiterate......
As soon as Zhou Qingchen said this, he was immediately scolded by Bao Bailingzhi, "This is bad!" Such as Li Chun and Qin Shou, who have studied since childhood. If you don't have it, how can you be so stupid? ”
"Yes, yes."
Zhou Qingchen had to hide his face and do it himself, not daring to argue. In terms of seniority and status, Bao Bailingzhi can hang him up and beat him. In fact, Bao Bai Lingzhi is not optimistic about Qianshou, in this period when the theory of blood only pays attention to birth, who thinks so. However, Bao Bai Lingzhi is a little fairer and pays attention to seeking truth from facts.
Qin Shi Huang sat upright on his seat, picked up a test paper and said silently, "Ninety-nine-eighty-one...... Forty-nine, thirty-six, three-nine-twenty-seven...... Seventy-seven nine-...... Well, not bad, not bad. "The Way of the Officials" can also be written, without typos. The way of the officials must be precise and upright, prudent and firm, selfish, subtle, quiet and not harsh, and reward and punishment. Who wrote this volume, and why is it nameless? ”
Bai Ji pointed to his name, which had been sealed with a seal, "This is the move of the school palace to prevent people from cronyism and favoritism." Seal his name and correct it directly, so that no one knows his name. The score given will also be fairer, so as not to get into trouble. ”
"I see!"
Qin Shi Huang suddenly realized, he only felt that this method was very good, and the imperial examination could also be imitated in the future. This is also the way of the future, but there are too many ways to cheat.
"There are no omissions in this volume, and the handwriting is neat, so full marks should be given."
Then, Qin Shi Huang personally took the pen and gave points in the score column. After giving the score, he slowly removed the seal, and Qin Shou's name was on it.
"Haha, Tai Shi Teng is really a godson!"
Qin Teng hurriedly moved, with an indescribable pride on his face. This time, Qin Shou definitely gave him a big face, and Qin Shi Huang personally corrected it and gave him a full score, which is the only treatment. Previously, Qin Shou bullied the weak, and was also criticized by Qin Shi Huang by name, but this time it can be regarded as a retribution.
In fact, this is naturally deliberately done by Bai Ji. Qin Shou's nature is not bad, he is righteous, and he can change his mistakes and take responsibility. Therefore, he didn't mind selling face to Qin Teng and letting him be in the limelight. After all, Qin Teng is also a good official and fulfills his duties. Those present were all smart people, and they had all guessed faintly.
"Qin Shou will be able to start reading directly from the second grade in a few days." Bai Ji opened his mouth next to him and said slowly: "Several great sages are full of praise for it, and they will definitely be the pillars of the country in the future." ”
"Thank you for your praise!"
Qin Teng made another move, Bai Ji has the ability to predict the future. He said yes, then Qin Shou will definitely be able in the future!
"It's ingenious to divide the class system in this way. Those with a good foundation can study more advanced knowledge, and those with a poor foundation will lay the foundation first. So much better! ”
……
Once the scores are out, go straight to the class. As expected, Xungui entered the second grade after that. The two Shi brothers did not live up to the careful teaching during this time, and they both successfully became second-grade students. For this, they also have special wooden medals that indicate their status.
On the back is a painting of the Heavenly Destiny Xuanyu, and their names and student numbers are also engraved on the front. The student number was made out by Bai Ji, and Huang Tingjian and others thought it was good. With the medal, it will be much easier for them to enter and exit in the future. There are also school uniforms that have been set early, and there are two styles of winter and summer.
It's just the blackest robe, and the cheapest kudzu cloth is used. The style is also extremely simple, and it is estimated that there is not much difference between the style and the outside of the Qianshou based on the style and material. However, their chests are engraved with the word 'Xianyuan' in expensive gold threads. For women, they have long skirts and are also dark-colored. Bai Ji is cultivating their sense of identity with the Academy from all sides, and they will be proud of being from the Xianyuan Academy Palace in the future.
The dormitories of the classes are all properly assigned, and the children are talking about it. Occasionally, an elderly Qianshou wiped his tears and resolutely turned away. and Qianshou prepared a bundle and wanted to give it to Mr. Xuegong, but he was also directly refused. Similar to Qin Teng and others, they also prepared gifts, and they accepted them all.
They deserve it!
Qianshou is hard-won, and some have prepared more than a dozen eggs, which is a frugal family from the province; Some carried their legs, some carried fat and fresh river fish, and some gave their own cloth...... Their hearts, Bai Ji's heart understood.
The children of poor families are in charge of the family at an early age, and this is also true today. Many childish students had tears in their eyes and knelt down to see Weng Yuan leave. When they were away from home to study, they could no longer help the family with farm work. A normal ten-year-old boy can share a lot of responsibilities at home. Ploughing the fields, cutting firewood for cooking...... You can do anything. Especially now, if you go to any workshop, someone will ask for it, and you can get four or five yuan a day.
As the sun sets, the school palace gradually quiets down.
In the twilight, Qin Shi Huang stood on the second floor of Afang Palace. Standing by the railing, overlooking the magnificent school palace, there was a faint pride on his face. In the past, the name of the school palace moved Zhuxia, and now the Qin State Xianyuan School Palace is far better than Jixia!
"Your honor, it's dark now, it's time to go back......"
Feng went to salute, the scenery of the school palace was extremely moving, and he couldn't enjoy it in such a short time. In addition to these buildings, there are also a large number of exotic flowers and plants. In addition, many fruit trees are planted. Pavilions and water pavilions, houses and buildings are lined up one after another, evenly distributed and located in an orderly manner.
But now that spring has just begun, there are many things waiting for Qin Shi Huang to decide. Taking a day to preside over the ceremony in the school palace is already to give Bai Ji face. If it is delayed for a few days, it will be the head of Qin who will suffer. Spring is coming, and Qianshou is busy sowing seeds. However, there is also a flood because of this!
The snow melted and the rivers flooded. From Bashu to Nanjun, there is a risk of bursting the embankment. In the event of a flood, it is bound to cause human life and heavy losses in all counties. This matter cannot be delayed and must not be delayed. The spies from Nanjun galloped thousands of miles, ran and killed several good horses, and desperately sent the news to Nanjun County. It has rained heavily for ten days in Nanjun, and the river is overflowing, and there is a danger of bursting the embankment!
With the continuous expansion of the territory, all kinds of natural and man-made disasters have not stopped. In winter, several county towns were hit by heavy snowfall, and the heavy snow closed the mountains, and many livestock and poultry were frozen to death. It's just spring, and it's raining heavily in Nanjun and other places......
Qin Shi Huang specially asked Tai Bu for divination, and he knew it from the stars, and this time it was extremely dangerous. If there is a slight mistake, it is very likely to repeat the danger of the past beam! The horror of the flood was experienced by Qin Shi Huang himself. More than ten years ago, he was still the king of Qin, and his younger brother Chang'an Jun rebelled. At the same time, the water swelled and overflowed the riverbed, and a large number of river fish poured ashore with the river. People from all over the country had to flee to the east of the river on horseback in chariots.
When the flood hits, the forces of nature are beyond human resistance. Even in later generations, it will still cause a lot of property damage. Qin Shi Huang clearly remembered that countless Qiantou leaders left their hometowns, and some died of starvation on the road...... Thousands of miles of starvation, floating corpses everywhere!
At this moment, night fell, and the entire school palace was shrouded in darkness. Qin Shi Huang's sharp eyes flashed a little cold light, if there is a flood, there will definitely be remnants of the Six Kingdoms fishing in troubled waters. This silent night was like a flooding river, overwhelmingly surging towards him. If he slackened a little, the foundation of the Qin State would be threatened.
Just as he was about to leave, a blinding light appeared in the distance. Then, like radiation, a dazzling light bloomed in all directions.
In an instant, the school palace was as bright as day......
"This ...... This ......"
Qin Shi Huang's eyes widened with deep incredulity.
How is this done?!
