191 Starve You to Death

For several days in a row, Zong Shu also stayed in the Great Song Academy of Sciences, watching Lin Lingsu and his disciples do experiments.

At the same time, Zong Shu exchanged conversations with fifteen new arrivals.

Two months ago, the "Great Song Times" published a "scientific question and answer" on why chopsticks look bent when put into water.

If you answer correctly, you will receive fifty taels of silver.

There will be brave men under the great reward.

Of course, what Zong Shu wants is not a brave man, but a talent who is good at observing life, finding problems and solving them.

Fifteen of them were close to the truth.

Since Lin Lingsu took Zongshu as his teacher, he has learned a lot of common knowledge in natural science, especially for light, and his understanding has been very profound.

After Lin Lingsu's selection, these fifteen people successfully entered the college and became the first batch of "unified enrollment" of the "Great Song Academy of Sciences".

Each of these students was given a "bachelor's uniform" provided by the Great Song Academy of Sciences, which was also designed by Zong Shu.

Let a special shop in Beijing tailor it for students, and use the finest fabrics.

These students are also the first batch of "100 workers" who have passed the assessment of the Great Song Academy of Sciences.

Zong Shu once fought for special treatment for hundreds of workers: riding a high horse, sitting in a sedan chair, wearing fancy clothes, and exempting from military service.

These fifteen students have already enjoyed it, and the clothes made for them are usually reluctant to wear.

When going out shopping, the Academy of Sciences arranges sedan chairs for the students.

When they returned home to visit their families, the Academy provided horses for the cadets.

Usually, I live in the college, and the food and accommodation are free.

Of these fifteen people, most of them are from the bottom of the people, Bianliang City accounts for nine people, and six people are from southern cities.

None of them are under the age of thirty, and most of them are guys and clerks from various workshops.

Usually they are reprimanded and reprimanded, and their status is very low.

Who knows, after answering the "scientific questions and answers" of the "Great Song Times", he received fifty taels of silver.

After receiving the silver, Lin Lingsu, the dean of the Great Song Academy of Sciences and the current national teacher, persuaded them to study in the academy from now on.

These craftsmen from the bottom never thought they would be able to study!

In the past, reading and studying to enter the college were the exclusive rights of readers!

It's like they're dreaming.

At first, they were worried that they would not be able to learn, but later they found out that what they learned was not the kind of Four Books and Five Classics that they imagined, but followed by experiments!

These people who were originally shop boys and workshop apprentices are exactly what Zong Shu fancies, and they are the initiators of the industrial revolution and the leaders of the technological revolution.

Only by bringing together these people with practical spirit and innovative consciousness can more sparks collide.

In the course of the conversation, Zong Shu noticed that one person was different.

This person looks like he is in his twenties, and he is not like a scholar when he is a scholar, and he does not have the standard configuration of a scholar's bag, such as folding fans and jade pendants.

Let's say that he is a shop buddy, but he doesn't look like it, because he has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and he has not been exposed to the wind and sun, especially a pair of hands, and he doesn't even have calluses.

This person should be Lin Lingsu mentioned to himself, and he wrote beautiful calligraphy, but Zong Shu forgot his name.

"Guys, in the past, you were looked down upon. But you have come to the Great Song Academy of Sciences, and this will be the place where you can show your talents. As long as you extract elements like iodine like the dean, you can be a teacher here, and you can be the provost or even the vice dean. ”

"As you know, our academy was inscribed by His Majesty himself, with the full support of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. You will do great things like the national teachers. A small amount of iodine can save the lives of thousands of people. This is much more meaningful than some sour scholars who memorize the beginning of people all day long, and the nature is good! ”

"And, no matter what others say, look up to yourselves! Any one of you, in my heart, is worthy of the champion! ”

"What bullshit! In the eyes of this young master, bullshit doesn't count! ”

Zong Shu said this, stood up, raised his voice an octave, and spoke impassionedly.

"Zong Shu, what nonsense are you talking about?" A voice suddenly rang out.

When I turned my head, it was Huizong!

When did Huizong come to the Great Song Academy of Sciences?

Because Zong Shu changed the Guizong Academy to the "Great Song Academy of Sciences", so that hundreds of workers can be students here, and excellent people can be teachers.

This made the people who had taught here, including Li Ruoshui, angry, and no matter how much money the literati and Su Ru gave them, they would no longer come here.

Huizong came here in person today.

Not only came, but he also brought Wang Hao, Chen Guoting, Cai Jing, Zhao Kai, Li Ruoshui and others.

The reason why Huizong came here was not to support Zong Shu's "Great Song Academy of Sciences", but because Liang Shicheng disappeared for three days.

Liang Shicheng has always been in the palace, and he has not been there for the past three days, and when he asked the little eunuch, he said that Liang Shicheng had gone to supervise Zong Shu throughout the process.

For three consecutive days, Zong Shu did not come to the palace to collect night incense.

It turned out that the person who collected the night incense went back, and there was no replacement for a while.

So the palace was full of large and small bedpans, some of which were not put away and flowed to the ground, which were dry and thin, making people sick.

Seeing this situation, Liang Shicheng, the chief eunuch in charge, was not there, and the others also pretended not to see it.

No one wants to do this kind of dirty and tiring work, so there is a special smell inside and outside the palace.

When Huizong learned about it, he was furious.

After asking carefully, Zong Shu actually only received the night incense once.

This kid also set a standard for collecting night incense, only one jar is full, and nothing else is collected!

That's it, this kid won't come again!

This is clearly the case, resist the will!

Wang Hao was resentful of Zong Shu scolding him as a "bastard", and when he thought that Liang Shicheng hadn't come back for three days, he might find that Zong Shu was playing tricks.

There was nothing to do in the next dynasty, so Wang Hao suggested going to the Great Song Academy of Sciences to have a look.

Actually, it is to see Zong Shu's jokes.

Several people changed into court clothes, put on civilian clothes and came to the Great Song Academy of Sciences, and as soon as they came in, they heard Zong Shu talking nonsense here.

Champion! It was selected through layers of selection, and finally selected by the emperor himself.

Could it be that the talents that the emperor fancies, in the eyes of Zong Shu, are all bullshit?

Today, with Huizong, there are two and a half champions. One is the imperial historian Chen Guoting, and the other is the prince and young master Li Ruoshui.

The other half of the champion is Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, this guy signed up for the imperial examination without telling Huizong, and finally became the champion, Huizong crossed out Zhao Kai's name in order to avoid suspicion.

Zong Shu had just encouraged fifteen people from a hundred jobs, and inadvertently annoyed Huizong, Chen Guoting, Li Ruoshui, and Zhao Kai.

"Zong Shu, I only came out with a champion in the third year of the Great Song Dynasty, in your eyes, is it really worthless?" Li Ruoshui's sword eyebrows were upside down.

"Champion, if you chant poems all day long, chew words, don't know about military affairs, don't know agricultural affairs, don't know business affairs, and only know riots, what's the use of the country and the people? As the saying goes, useless is a scholar, and the most useless is a champion! ”

Zong Shucai doesn't care what kind of prince young master Li Ruoshui is, this young master is still the prince grandmaster!

"I'm the champion of the Song Dynasty, how can I be compared with lowly people such as Baigong?" Li Ruoshui asked.

"Cheap? Let me tell you, what the Great Song champions can do, they can also do. But what they can do, champions can't do! ”

Zong Shu looked at the crowd: "Do you know how to plant seedlings?" ”

Seeing that everyone was silent, Zong Shu took a step closer towards Zhao Kai: "You can only interject!" Write articles all day long, there is a bird to use! ”

"The article is eternal, and the society is a good one," Li Ruoshui said: "How dare you despise the book of the sage so much?" ”

The Book of Saints Again! Just look at this kind of book, is it worth reading for a lifetime?

Zong Shu walked up to Li Ruoshui and said, "Don't mention the sage book again, I'm afraid that the more you read, the more confused you become." I don't know all the grains, starve you to death at the beginning of a person! ”
