Chapter 107: The Great Warring States Eunuch (I)
Fangjiazhuang, today is a festive situation.
Naturally, it won't be because Fang Yiai is back, and not many people know that he left.
First, the farmers were busy working on the construction site and did not notice him, and second, since he was in the summer, he usually stayed at home for several days without going out, which is also a common thing, and no one will find it strange.
The reason for the excitement of the farmers.
Because it took two months, the school was finally built. The elders are looking forward to sending their children to school as soon as possible to change their children's future destiny.
In the past, when they saw scholars on top, they were angry and would scold "poor scholars".
However, deep down I still envy it, a little ...... Can't eat grapes say that grapes taste sour.
The entrance to the school.
The dragon flying phoenix dances a few big characters "Huaxia No. 1 Primary School" is the word inscribed by Mr. Li Gang.
Occupying the top of the mountain, a gray cement road leads directly from the bottom of the mountain to the school. The school, made of red bricks and green tiles, exudes fiery vitality, and the style is similar to that of rural primary schools in later generations.
Now the village has also begun to build cement roads.
Fang Yiai's plan is to connect the cement road to every household, and finally connect it with the official cement road. If the official road has not been repaired, he also plans to pay for it himself and lead the cement road to Chang'an.
We have money.
Of course, if you want to move the official way, you still need Li Shimin's nod, this kind of free good thing, I think Lao Li will not refuse.
If you want to get rich, build roads first!
Although Fangjiazhuang is much richer than other villages with its ice-making and mosquito coils, it is actually limited by transportation.
The project has not stopped......
At Li Gang's request, the middle school also began construction.
I don't know what they think, it seems that they like to go up the mountain, and the middle school is chosen behind the elementary school, a taller and bigger mountain.
Or everyone thinks that learning should be high.
In the next village, I have heard of this school, the school is built on the top of the mountain, you can see it at a glance, there is no need to hide it, and the people in the village are still eager to show off everywhere.
I don't know how many people envy the people of Fangjiazhuang!
"Why don't we have this good fate, we can't meet one, a good master like the second young master."
"Yes, if it's a fiefdom of Fang Xiang, how good it would be here in our village."
The people passed by from a distance, and in the distance, they could see the red wall on the top of the mountain, and they all showed envious expressions. In this era, reading people are very valuable, as long as you have read for a few days, you will never do this coolie again.
They also want their children to go to school, but they don't have the conditions!
First, the books are too expensive to buy, and the second is that they can't hire a gentleman, even if they grit their teeth and don't have books, they are all black-eyed, and it doesn't work if no one teaches them.
Therefore, those who can read and write, there are also people with a bit of family background. Or...... It's that the child is willing to work hard, otherwise he won't be able to learn at all.
But how many sensible children can there be?
Let's just say that none of the children in the village are reading, as for they have no concept of reading, when they understand the usefulness of reading, they are already adults, and they take on the burden of the family, where is the opportunity.
The affairs of the school, Fang Yiai can let go of it, and he is completely a hands-off shopkeeper.
The positions of mountain chief and prison are held by Li Gang and Yan Silu, and he is only a teacher.
There is no shortage of teachers in the school, there are three old gentlemen Li Gang, and countless readers yearn for it.
However, there is one thing he can't escape......
Fang Yiai proposed to start a math class, and Li Gang did not stop him.
But according to his idea, mathematics and Confucianism have the same class hours, which raises a problem, when there are many Confucian students today, there is a shortage of arithmetic talents, and he and Li Taineng are qualified to be mathematics teachers.
Relying on just the two of them is completely insufficient.
Therefore, Fang Yiai hit the idea on Guozijian.
The only one who has a foundation in mathematics is Guozi's supervision subject, and I am going to invite a few students to give it to Li Tai for training and teaching first-grade mathematics, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
Li Tai had already started to take action to contact the prisoners of Guozi, or those who were not in the first place in the Ming arithmetic department.
Guozijian, as the highest institution of learning in the Tang Dynasty, has no conflict with the primary school of enlightenment, and Li Tai originally came forward and negotiated with a few superintendents.
Teaching in Fangjiazhuang allows me to get in touch with more advanced mathematics. They have heard that Fang Yiai's arithmetic level is very good, so King Yue worshiped him.
Besides, there is a salary to be paid, and the students recruited by the arithmetic school are all disciples with low social status, which is a great temptation for them.
However, after the Guozijian learned of this, he immediately refused, and the prisoner said that he was unwilling to delay his studies, but he was not allowed even to fail in the imperial examination.
said yes, I want Fang Yiai to talk about it in person.
He knew that the person who came was not good, and he was afraid that it would be a Hongmen banquet, but he still took Li Tai with him.
Guozijian.
Wang Xiaotong, a doctor of arithmetic, greeted him in person and complimented: "Fang Xianzi, the name of the county has been admired for a long time, and I finally saw it today." ”
"Dr. Wang's name, I am also like thunder, I have also read the "Ancient Calculations", and the solution of its equations has benefited me a lot."
"The county has read the book of the lower official?"
Fang Yiai didn't expect Wang Xiaotong to be so excited, and still nodded, this is not a lie, this book is the earliest record of cubic equations in ancient China.
The two exchanged pleasantries and went to the arithmetic discipline.
To tell the truth, arithmetic has a low status in Guozijian, with hundreds of students in each of the four disciplines of Taixue and the four disciplines, and only more than 30 in arithmetic.
In other words, today's arithmetic is not taken seriously, and those who pass the imperial examination can only get a very low official position, and for example, Dr. Guozi is on the fifth grade, and the doctor of arithmetic is only the lowest from the ninth grade.
However, today's events have already been spread.
At this time, there was a crowd of people outside the discipline, and doctors, teaching assistants, and students from the other four departments also came to watch.
It's the first time that the discipline has been so beautiful.
Although in ancient times, the history of economics was emphasized over science and engineering, and arithmetic was never taken seriously, but at this time, arithmetic represented the Guozijian, which had a bit of a taste of hatred and hatred.
"I have long heard that Fang Xianzi has made some achievements in arithmetic, and I took the liberty to invite you here today just to ask for advice." Wang Xiaotong arched his hand and said.
In the courtyard, pen, ink, paper and inkstone have been placed.
Fang Yiai can be regarded as understanding, this is the academic dispute, Guozijian is the highest university in the Tang Dynasty, even if it is not valued in arithmetic, it also has its pride, I heard that Li Tai worshiped him because of arithmetic, so he naturally wanted to compete.
"Why don't you let Qingque do the work for you, give the young man a chance, just think about his studies."
He brought Li Tai here today, the meaning is very simple, whoever wants to fight with me, first beat my apprentice, of course, you can't say that, after all, he is here to invite someone.
The little fat man was eager to try, so he stood up, and there was a posture of abusing a rookie after retreat and hard practice.
