Chapter 153: The Arithmetic Hall Raised by the Queen's Mother

Under the personal leadership of Kong Yingda, Li Zexuan walked through the rows of neat and magnificent houses, and came to a room that looked significantly more dilapidated and dwarfed to the south of Guozijian, and the sign hanging in the center of the room was written with the words "Arithmetic Museum".

"This is the Arithmetic Museum, Li Xiannan, go in, the old man is here today to see what you bring is useful!"

Kong Yingda pointed to the house in front of him and smiled.

Li Zexuan frowned slightly, he looked at the dilapidated and small room, and remembered that on the way he had just come, he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy when he saw those magnificent "Taixue Pavilion" and "Guozi Academy" and other school halls.

He himself is not the kind of person who can't endure hardship, but there is no harm if there is no comparison, why is it that the school hall of the same Guozijian is tall, and the school hall of his own is short and poor?

Kong Yingda waited for a long time and didn't hear Li Zexuan speak, and when he looked back strangely, he saw that Li Zexuan's face was a little ugly, and after thinking about it for a while, he understood.

"Hehe, don't blame Li Xiannan, the Guozijian Teaching House is nervous, and the students in the Arithmetic Hall are the least, so in order to save resources, the Arithmetic Hall is assigned here. Although the house is a little simpler, I believe that Li Xiannan should not mind, how can my generation of scholars be affected by external conditions? ”

Li Zexuan was speechless, what is this? Just because there are few students, do you deserve to be bad?

He complained frantically in his heart, then thought about it and asked, "I don't know how many students there are in the Arithmetic Academy?" ”

This Kong Yingda remembered it very clearly, and he replied without thinking: "There are now thirty-two students and one teaching assistant in the arithmetic hall, which is far lower than other halls, so he was arranged here. ”

In the Tang Dynasty, Guozijian was a central government-run school, and the educational resources were not only rich in variety, but also of high quality.

And there are different schools for students from different backgrounds. The historical records record: "Guozixue, 300 people, if the descendants of the civil and military three grades or above are from the great-grandchildren of the second rank or above, and the second rank of the commander, the county duke, and the fourth rank of the Beijing official with the son of the third rank of the honor;

Taixue, with 500 births, with the descendants of the fifth rank or above, the great-grandchildren of the ministry officials of the fifth rank and the great-grandchildren of the third rank and above of the rank of the honorable officer;

Four schools, 1,300 students, of which 500 are honored officers with no seal above the third grade, four grades with seals and more than seven grades of civil and military affairs, and 800 people, with the handsome and different people of the Shu people;

Law, 50 students, calligraphy, 30 students, arithmetic, 30 students, to the eighth grade and below the general scholars. ”

In the Tang Dynasty, students from local state and county government schools also had the opportunity to enter the central government school, which allowed the children of the common people to enjoy more educational resources.

After passing the assessment, the children of the common people in the state and county government schools are promoted to the arithmetic, calligraphy, law or four subjects of the central government school, and then if they have excellent grades, they can also be promoted to Taixue, and Tai students can make up for the national students.

Such a hierarchical subsidy policy not only made it possible for the children of the common people to obtain better official education resources through their efforts, but also expanded the scope of the audience of official education in the Tang Dynasty and increased the number of people. This has not been done in any previous dynasty.

At this time, a person walked out of the house, it was Xu Hongzhi that Li Zexuan had seen in the ready-to-wear shop two months ago, Xu Hongzhi stepped forward and smiled: "Kong sacrifice wine, Dr. Li!" ”

Kong Yingda nodded, and Li Zexuan hurriedly said: "Mr. Xu, you are my father's best friend, you can just call me Xiaoxuan." ”

Although he was jointly pit by Xu Hongzhi and Li Er to teach in this country, Xu Hongzhi is a figure of his father's generation after all, and the respect he should have must have.

Xu Hongzhi smiled and said: "Dr. Li, your arithmetic ability is above the old man, and you are a doctor of arithmetic personally awarded by His Majesty, as the so-called master is a teacher, regardless of age, what's wrong with the old man calling you Dr. Li?" ”

Kong Yingda also agreed: "Hongzhi is right, it should be like this, Li Xiannan, go in and give a lecture!" ”

Li Zexuan was helpless, looked at Tie Dan and Lan'er, and said to Kong Yingda: "Mr. Kong, one of these two children is my apprentice, and the other is my sister. ”

Kong Yingda frowned and hesitated: "But there is no precedent for women to enter our dynasty!" ”

Li Zexuan shook his head and said, "They are just auditing, not enrolling." ”

It is estimated that Lan'er will only be enthusiastic for two or three days, and Li Zexuan did not expect her to learn to be rich and become a talent.

Kong Yingda nodded: "Well, that's okay." ”

..............

Li Zexuan commanded a few family members, carried the blackboard and chalk in, and hung the blackboard.

The students inside had already heard that a new teacher would come today, and when they saw Li Zexuan, they were all stunned, they didn't expect this newly appointed doctor of arithmetic to be so young, it is estimated that many of them are older than Li Zexuan, is this new gentleman reliable!

All the students were deeply skeptical of Li Zexuan's ability.

Li Zexuan saw that the blackboard was hanged, he turned around and looked at these students, all of whom were a group of teenage children, of course, many of them were fourteen or fifteen years old. At this moment, all the students hurriedly stood up and greeted in unison: "Hello sir!" ”

Despite all their suspicions, the deep-seated concept of respecting teachers and respecting the way of teachers forced them to put on a superficially respectful attitude.

Xu Hongzhi, who was standing at the head of Li Zexuan, also saw a strong distrust in the eyes of the students, he frowned, and was about to scold, Li Zexuan hurriedly waved his hand to stop it, he looked at the thirty students and smiled:

"Hello. Today is the first lesson I give you, my name is Li Zexuan, and I am also a doctor of Guozi supervision appointed by His Majesty himself, I know that many of you look at me as young and think that I am not qualified to teach you arithmetic.

Hehe, in the next two quarters of an hour, I will give you the opportunity to ask questions, if your arithmetic questions stump me, then I will immediately ask Your Majesty to resign, if you can't stop me, then you will have to listen obediently to the lecture from now on. Alright, if you have any questions, just ask them! ”

As soon as Li Zexuan finished speaking, the entire sect house was suddenly silent, and everyone, including Kong Yingda, looked at him incredulously. You must know that in this era, the teacher is greater than the sky, what the teacher teaches, what the student learns, and where there will be a teacher who is willing to say these words to the student.

After a while, the students all reacted, a few couldn't help whispering, and more than a dozen students in relatively plain clothes got up together and respectfully bowed to Li Zexuan:

"The student is terrified, the student has absolutely no intention of questioning Mr., and asks Mr. to take back his life!"

The voices of these dozen people suddenly covered the noise of the teaching room, and the rest of the students, regardless of whether they had doubts about Li Zexuan in their hearts, quickly got up together and said:

"The student is panicked, please take back your life."

Xu Hongzhi next to him also hurriedly glanced at Li Zexuan, signaling that he didn't have to be like this.

Seeing this, Li Zexuan smiled and said:

"Hehe, sit down, all of you! Whether you mean that or not, what I say will never be taken back, since I want to be your teacher, of course, I will surpass you in ability, you can rest assured and bold to come to the question, if anyone can stump me in arithmetic today, I will not only resign from the post of doctor of arithmetic, I will also recommend him to Your Majesty as a new doctor of arithmetic! ”

"Coax!"

Li Zexuan's last sentence stabbed the hornet's nest, many of these students in the arithmetic hall were selected from other states and counties to enter the Guozijian, they studied hard, didn't they want to have a good future? If Li Zexuan can be stumped now, then they are likely to ascend to the sky in one step, how can they not be moved?

Xu Hongzhi's forehead was sweating anxiously on the side, Kong Yingda was calmer, looking thoughtful, Tie Dan and Lan'er were not worried at all when they sat in the back, they were full of confidence in Li Zexuan.

"Student Bazhou Ke Shiqing, dare to ask Mr. for advice!"

The students were making a fuss below for a long time, and finally one of them couldn't help but get up and challenge Li Zexuan.

"It turned out to be Ke Shiqing, he has the best grades in the Academy!"

"Yes, Dr. Liu has praised his talent before!"

"I'm afraid this new gentleman is going to be planted."

........

Li Zexuan heard the discussion in the hall and nodded with satisfaction, this Ke Shiqing is good, if he wants to come, he will come to the strongest, which will save him a lot of time.

"Good! Ke Shiqing, right? Regardless of whether you stumped me today or not, your courage is worthy of praise, you can solve the problem! ”

Li Zexuan said with a smile.

Thank you for the hateful Woo, Xia Qingwei, Alone in loney, Dream Chifeng, and the monthly pass of the surname Gong and the preface of the word Gong.

Thank you for the huge reward of the surname Gong Mingxuan Lao Gong, uh, it's dozens of minutes late to update, you just say I'm coming to the eldest aunt, is this really good? Emphasizing, chivalrous people are pure masters!
