"If that's what you're talking about, then just say it, it's none of my business."

Ji Jiu saw Zhang Shou yawning, with an expression of disinterest, and he was immediately dumbfounded. After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said: "The tiger does not hurt people, people are harmful to the tiger's heart, teacher, you are a gentleman, so you don't know the deeds of those folk academies." In order to compete with each other for a source of life, they made a name for themselves, intrigued, suppressed each other, and did everything they could. ”

"Whether it is the head of those academies, or Mr., they have been attacking each other for many years, attacking each other's character just because of different schools, and they hope to become official scholars, but fortunately, they don't eat this set since Emperor Taizu, and if someone is proud of their knowledge and is not subject to conquest, then the Taizu system, and their students and disciples will never be allowed to enter the office, so there is no real hermit in this dynasty."

As a result, these people who open private academies to give lectures, even if their careers are not smooth, they all want their students to get ahead, and this has been the case for so many years. So don't look at these four so-called great Confucians who were recruited, that is, a Jinshi who only served as a county magistrate and was idle at home, and the other three were all lifters, but their students ......"

"That's a lot of jinshi!"

Ji Jiu raised his voice again and emphasized, seeing that Zhang Shou only showed an interested expression, he didn't know whether people paid attention to his words, so he could only say with an extremely sincere attitude: "Teacher, these people don't even buy Master Ge, let alone you who are young but famous?" Moreover, you have also been the teacher of the third prince and the fourth prince, so I am afraid that they have bad intentions! ”

Zhang Shou just pretended to be confused. The academic controversy has been the same since ancient times, otherwise how could there be a scholarly valve? And this thing, sometimes it really turns into a life-and-death struggle. Not to mention the controversy of the hundred schools of thought, as well as the later Confucian suppression of Huang Lao and the rest of the factions, I can't wait to step on 10,000 feet...... Anyway, all in all, which dynasty and which generation of academic battles must not fight one head at a time?

Of course, he can't and won't blame the emperor for thinking of the four people who recruited such four academies to enter Beijing, if he were the emperor and wanted to develop all the disciplines, he wouldn't all rely on him alone. Don't talk about him, even Ge Yong, the emperor, is the same. If the academic valve wants to unify the academic world, then the people at the top without exception want a hundred flowers to bloom.

In this way, he should indeed be vigilant, because the better the knowledge, the worse the character, the phenomenon is very common.

It's just that Ji Jiu only introduced three people just now, and one of them even has the description of being proficient in many Western languages, can he understand that he is a person who is proficient in multiple languages?

In this English language, French is not even very popular, Spanish is ...... Because Spain is currently being unified, but it is still far from achieving the achievement of the first empire on which the sun never sets, so the most popular language in the upper class of European society so far is probably Latin, so the question is, what languages did that guy learn?

In the case that the Haidong Continent has been popularized by the descendants of Taizu's fleet who have been exiled overseas, there are still great Confucians who are proficient in the scriptures and meanings to learn foreign languages? That's a lot of progress! Are you sure it's not worn by a language genius at the School of Foreign Languages?

"Well, I know it all." Zhang Shou turned a lot of messy thoughts in his heart, and finally nodded, thought about it and added, "You have a heart, I won't take this matter lightly." ”

Seeing that Ji Jiu finally showed a happy expression, as if this praise represented supreme affirmation, Zhang Shou couldn't help but slightly change his previous understanding of this little oil. Of course, he knew that this kid was self-motivated - otherwise Ji Jiu would not always be at the top of the Mid-Levels Hall, and he even accepted Chu Kuan's instructions to make class notes for the emperor.

Lu Saburo's self-motivation is different, everything is based on personal talent and interests; Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu are already satisfied as long as they are independent from their original families, and it is a complete surprise to be able to marry a princess and a county lord; Zhang Chen hopes that his father can look at him squarely, of course, it would be better to surpass his father Zhang Chuan; Zhu Er hopes that he will not be so wasteful, he is always beaten by his father's eldest brothers and sisters......

And Ji Jiu, that is completely a person who sees the seams and is ambitious. But ambition is the original driving force for progress, in fact, he also needs this kind of person.

Therefore, seeing Ji Jiu's cheerful look, Zhang Shou nodded approvingly.

"If you feel that your schoolwork is easy and you have too much idle time, but you are not sure where to go in the future, you may wish to dabble in all aspects and find a direction. My elementary physics has just been printed in volumes 1 and 2, which you can look up for. On the side of the translation of the Siyi Pavilion, you might as well learn overseas languages to see if you have any talent. Water control and construction, you can also go to learn about ......"

Before Zhang Shou finished speaking, Ji Jiu suddenly asked, "Teacher, can I try this year's second phase of enrollment in Jiuzhangtang?" ”

Zhang Shou didn't expect Ji Jiu to ask such a question, so he couldn't help but look at the person with interest, and then asked with a smile: "Why not?" ”

Without waiting for Ji Jiu, who was overjoyed, to speak, he said slowly: "Although the third prince and the fourth prince are young, they also said that they want to take the Jiuzhangtang. But I think they may not be able to get into this year, of course, I can't say, don't look at them small, but their qualifications are very good, and the new edition of Ge's arithmetic has been available in the latest volume of the palace, and the emperor personally taught them while watching. ”

If Ji Jiu was just a temptation just now, then when he got Zhang Shou's answer at this time, he was completely determined. The third prince and the fourth prince both planned to take the Jiuzhangtang exam, what else did he say? After the eldest prince was imprisoned, the second prince was punished, and the queen was deposed, the two little princes, who had been ignored by countless people, became hot!

Thinking of this, Ji Jiu immediately saluted and said, "Thank you for the reminder, I will definitely go all out!" ”

He had already seen a question just now, although Zhang Shou might change it afterwards, but he could at least take a good look at the similar chapters about these in the "New Edition of Ge's Arithmetic", if he missed this year, although there will be next year or even the year after tomorrow, the three princes and the four princes may not be able to be admitted this year, but he must give it a try!

"Well, then you can do it. My teacher and Mr. Qi and Mr. Chu will probably compile a few books on auditing and accounts, and there may be a sample book in the next few days, if you are interested, after it is printed, you can go to Lu Saburo's bookstore to buy a copy and go back to see. Although you can't catch up with Guanglu Temple to check the accounts, maybe you can use the account room at home. ”

Seeing that Ji Jiu's eyes lit up, and thanked Xie Fang before he retreated, Zhang Shou stretched his waist and stretched his body, and then returned to Jiuzhang Hall, and when he saw that several students were still maintaining the posture just now, he knew that probably no one noticed what he had just said to Ji Jiu.

For these prisoners, most of whom come from poor backgrounds, it is better to grasp the present than to take care of things that are too far away.

So, Zhang Shou clapped his hands lightly, and when several people raised their heads, he smiled and said: "Okay, you all pay attention to the combination of work and rest, just now Ji Jiu slipped over, which shows that the other classes have a break at this time." These days, there are only a few of you left, and the lectures have stopped, and I always let you study on your own or do problems, which seems that I, the teacher, are too harsh. ”

He smiled, and then said word by word: "I asked you to test each other with questions, but now are you interested in using your brains to test your future juniors, that is, the juniors and disciples of the second phase?" ”

"Of course, you can't take your current course to take the test, and the overall difficulty can be maintained at a slightly higher level than the two exams you came in. How, do you have the confidence to show your ability as a senior brother? ”

His obvious question was naturally met with joy and unison from the few prisoners below.

Originally, there were only a few of them left in the end, even if they were either rotated from the side of Wang Datou, the governor of Xuanda, or went to Daming Public School to intern, they can't be regarded as nerds who have never practiced, but when others are busy, they can only stay here to study, so of course they are inevitably a little unconfident.

But now, Zhang Shou's words have made them find the focus of their work in the next few days. Especially when Zhang Shou added with a smile, the Tao is that all the questions in the written test and the interview can be thought about, and the questions of the interview in the future may also be drawn from the exam questions made by their predecessors, and they will be more energetic one by one.

In the end, when Zhang Shou walked away from Jiuzhangtang at noon, it was just relaxed. He once despised some of the later generations of mentors who treated their students as long-term workers, but now he squeezed them himself...... Well, it's actually nice to send students when there's something to do.

In view of the fact that he and Lu Sanlang now have no house in Guozijian, he met Ah Liu, who came to pick him up on time, under the university archway of Guozijian—in fact, he never knew when Ah Liu arrived, how long he waited, and where he had gone all morning—and then the master and servant went to Xiao's house not far away.

As for the Liu family next door, who finally had a master again, Mr. Liu was picked up by Lu Sanlang early in the morning, and the two went to work together. As a former squire of the military department, even if Liu Zhiyuan is just a consultant to Lu Sanlang, the little fat man is lucky enough.

As soon as Zhang Shou entered the gate of Xiao's house, he heard Xiao Peanut's extremely painful wail: "How can there be so many questions that can't be done?" Didn't Childe say that I should go to Jiuzhangtang as a handyman? Why lock me up here to do the problem, I'd rather go to work...... Ouch, Xiao Xiaozi, why are you beating people! ”

"The sixth brother said, if you are lazy, I will beat you with a ring ruler! It's useless, I'm so much younger than you, and I do a lot of questions every day! Don't forget, when your salted fish uncle came over this morning, he scolded you for not knowing how to be blessed in the midst of blessings. ”

"You are you, I am me! I wasn't reading material since I was a child...... I'd rather go to farming, fetch water, herd cattle, watch the door and sing, I don't want to do these things that make me dizzy at first sight! ”

Listening to the low-level quarrel between the two minors, Zhang Shou couldn't help but laugh at first, but when he heard Xiao Peanut's crazy complaints, he couldn't help but move in his heart.

Because of the old salted fish, and Xiao Peanut is indeed a very well-behaved boy, so he intended to cultivate this kid, but he didn't expect that this is a learning difficulty, far less than Xiao Cheng's consciousness, although the latter is young, as long as Zhu Tingfang is encouraged and encouraged, people will be full of fighting spirit.

Otherwise, how could Xiao Cheng study while doing miscellaneous work, Tang poems and the four operations were all mastered, and now the math problems he can do have broken through the addition and subtraction of four digits, multiplication and division of three digits? You know, the talent is so big!

Therefore, he stopped at the door to listen, and found that the little peanut in it was whipped by the ring ruler, but he only dared to complain and scold, and did not dare to resist the discipline, so he suddenly coughed. With a burst of hurried footsteps, I saw Xiao Cheng running out with a smoke, followed by a sweaty little peanut, walking even a little limp, obviously just smoked by Xiao Cheng.

In other words, the ghost Xiaodouding, who is at least one head shorter than the little peanut, really dares to smoke!

Compared to Xiao Cheng, who pounced on him and called Brother Zhang, and then began to proudly show off how much homework he had completed today, and then began to ask Xiao Cheng when he would go to Jiuzhangtang to clean up and work in the afternoon, Xiao Peanut only felt that he was simply useless, and he was originally sweating profusely because of those four arithmetic problems, and now even his back was in a cold sweat.

And Zhang Shou's next sentence successfully forced a small half of his sweat back.

"Recently, there are only a few people left in Jiuzhang Hall, and there is not much to do, so cleaning only needs to be done once in the morning. In the afternoon, the Jiuzhang Hall is there to study on your own, so you don't have to go there. However, Lu Sanlang and Mr. Liu are warming up for the Imperial Chef Selection Contest in the outer city, and I heard that they will also invite the opera troupe to sing to help, and it is estimated that it will be very lively, do you want to go? ”

"Yes!" This overjoyed voice without hesitation naturally belongs to Little Peanut.

"I don't want to!" This categorical and flat voice undoubtedly belonged to Xiao Cheng.

So, the two boys, who had only been together for a few days, glanced at each other. Little Peanut wondered that Xiao Cheng didn't like to join in the fun at a young age, while Xiao Cheng was puzzled by Little Peanut's laziness that didn't like to study.

However, the former was unwilling to give up this rare opportunity to see the famous characters of the capital, but the latter was unwilling to waste precious time, and the two immediately repeated the answer just now, and then began to stare at each other again.

"Well, since one wants to go, the other doesn't want to go. Then Xiao Cheng, you will accompany us out of the city to have a look, and when you come back after reading, I will take the little peanut to accompany you to read and do the question. ”

Seeing that Xiao Cheng opened his mouth and wanted to fight, he didn't look at the little peanut with a face full of ecstasy, and said with a smile: "Let's not just go to see the excitement, but also to see if Master Liu is still old after returning to Beijing." ”

said so, but Zhang Shou thought in his heart, Xiao Peanut could pretend to be a woman and charm the eldest prince, could it be a natural horn, right?
