In just one month.

More than 10 colleges of higher learning have been built in Jinling City.

Jinling Academy, Medical College, Military Academy, Zongheng College, Business School, Agricultural College, Engineering College... And so on, almost all major industries are building colleges, which are enough to accommodate tens of thousands of students.

Behind these colleges, there are the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Taiwei Mansion, the Great Agricultural Order, the Taiyi Order, and many gate valves and wealthy businessmen who contribute money to fund the running of schools.

With the implementation of the all-subject system of the imperial examination, the entire Dachu almost overnight flourished in the style of study.

Everyone knows that Da Chu used the imperial examination to select officials. Regardless of whether he is from a noble background, a commoner or a scholar, as long as he can pass the exam, he can become an official.

Even if you can't be an official, you can learn a skill in the academy.

Rich families who are a little rich will naturally let their children go to the academy to study and learn a little more skills.

...

Mixed in with the many academies.

An extremely low-key, mysterious, but well-established princely academy has also opened.

Compared with other large colleges in Jinling City, Wanghou College is much smaller in scale, but the fees are ridiculously expensive, and the number of students recruited is also small.

The identity of the student, of course, is not ordinary.

County lords Li Yu, Di'er, and Zu'er, needless to say, the three of them are not here to learn, they are just idle and bored to make up the numbers.

Formal students, Prince Xiang Tiange, Yang Sui, grandson of Yang Chu, Da Nongling, Liu Ce, grandson of Liu Qi, Shen Xiaomei, Shen Mansion, Xiao Xiao, county lord... There are about sixty or seventy places, and there are more than 20 women alone.

The Great Chu Dynasty's defense of men and women was not as serious as that of later generations, and it was not surprising that noble women would also attend private schools, so it was not surprising that this academy recruited female disciples.

All the princes, gate valves, and wealthy families all squeezed their heads to send their children in, but each family had only one place at most.

A veritable princely academy.

...

Wanghou College officially opened.

Sixty or seventy young students gathered together, sitting in the school, waiting for the teacher to come with a bitter face.

A lot of them don't want to come!

How difficult it is for the national examination papers issued by Xiao Duhou!

It's like purgatory, and even Jinshi can't answer it. The level of their group of students can't even understand the questions, and they are too far behind.

Many of them are gentlemen, and they only care about playing on weekdays. They were all forced to come by the elders in the family, so they can't do it if they don't come.

"Alas~! It's a hard time~! ”

Prince Xiang Tiange had a declining face and sighed.

He, the prince of the East Palace, has a hard time!

During the day, he was sent to this princely academy to go to school, and when he went back to the East Palace at night, he had to follow the prince and young master to learn Confucianism.

The emperor asked the crown prince to come to the princely academy to study, and all the teachers in the East Palace were very unhappy. However, they have seen the questions of the national examination, and they also know that the gap in level is too big, and they can teach Confucianism.... Other studies are not good.

Therefore, the teachers of Donggong changed to evening teaching.

Xiao Duhou, the chief examiner, suddenly became his teacher, and he had a sad life in the future.

"It's okay, anyway, private school classes have always been messy. Xiao Duhou is a teacher, we have sixty or seventy students here, how can he control us! ”

Yang Sui looked around and pursed his lips disdainfully.

Several gentlemen nearby also nodded one after another. "Play" with the teachers, they are very experienced.

Just as the young men and women were waiting for the teacher to come with sad faces.

Chu Tianxiu walked in with a book in his hand.

He didn't come alone.

He came in a group of people.

Following Xiao Duhou, there were twenty young and middle-aged people, all of whom were well-dressed, lupine, and high-spirited.

The young students were all stunned when they saw this group of people appear with Xiao Duhou.

Come, it seems to be this year's Jinshi?!

What's going on?

Chu Tianxiu entered the hall and said with a smile: "Let me introduce to you, these twenty are all Jinshi of this year's Gengzi Imperial Examination, Dongfang Su, Sang Hongyang, Zhu Maichen, Zhang Yan, Dongguo Xiangyang, Kongjing, Su Wu, Ji Yin... Wait.

I applied to the emperor that all the jinshi of this session would serve as teaching assistants in this college for three to six months.

Each teaching assistant is responsible for supervising the studies of the three students to ensure that they learn, understand, and use. ”

All the scholars stood in a row, bowed to the little dusk marquis, bowed to the students, and then took their seats in the hall.

said it was a teaching assistant, but in fact, they were also the first batch of students of Xiao Duhou.

There are nine questions in the national examination issued by Xiao Duhou.

For example, the ground is 780,000 miles away from the moon, how is this calculated?

They still haven't figured out what happened.

To further his studies in the Princely Academy, by the way, he just supervised the studies of the young people.

Moreover, the Princely Academy also subsidized them with one hundred taels of silver per month, and the scholars were of course willing to come to further their studies.

The young students were directly stunned.

Twenty Jinshi from the Gengzi Imperial Examination came together as teaching assistants and accompanied sixty or seventy of their students to school?! Among the tens of thousands of scholars in the entire Great Chu, the smartest twenty came to Wanghou College as teaching assistants?!

Little Dusk, this is crazy!

There are Jinshi personal tubes, how can they be lazy!

"Our Princely Academy is different from other academies. Do you know what's the difference? ”

Chu Tianxiu said with a smile.

"Because the teacher is a little dusk marquis and a group of jinshi, the students are all princes, county lords, and the children of gate lords and eunuchs."

Prince Xiang Tiange said lazily.

"That's a little bit right! Because you are all noble children, you are destined to have no worries about food and clothing in this life.

It's the same with this little marquis.

Even if I don't teach well, even if you don't achieve anything, you will inherit a huge ancestral inheritance. ”

Chu Tianxiu smiled: "So, let's take it easy." I'll teach whatever I want, and you can learn whatever you want. If I don't learn, I won't be able to hit the palm of my hand.

When you come to this princely academy, you can just relax. ”

He really didn't care, because there were twenty Jinshi-level teaching assistants. One is in charge of three, how can you control them.

"Huh, really?"

"That's great!"

All the young people and girls were overjoyed and overjoyed. I thought it was suffering coming, but I didn't expect Xiao Duhou to be so considerate of them.

The twenty jinshi were full of seriousness, sitting upright, and took out paper and brushes from their sleeves.

They have learned the "casualness" of the little dusk marquis.

A random national exam question, they still haven't figured it out.

"In the first lesson of the day, I teach mathematics. Write 0 to 10 with numbers, 99 multiplication formulas, quick mental arithmetic three-digit multiplication, division, addition and subtraction, trigonometry, circle, geometry, how to calculate... It's not much, it's too simple, I'll just talk about it once, and the rest depends on your understanding. ”

Chu Tianxiu was writing and drawing on a huge blackboard that had been prepared a long time ago.

He really only spoke once.

I wrote a long list of Arabic numerals 0~10, then talked about the multiplication formula, and then began to do the multiplication and division formula.

The teenagers were stunned.

They felt like they were listening to a book from heaven, in the clouds.

What is the "ghost drawing" written on this blackboard?

They are usually zero, one, two, three, four, wu, lu, qi, 捌, jiu, pick, bai, thousand, ten thousand, how did the words of the eight classics become 0, 1, 2, 3....these strange things?

"Text..., turned into a number symbol?"

Sang Hongyang was stunned, he closed his eyes and thought deeply, when his eyes opened again.

The whole world has changed!

What was once an extremely complex textual mental arithmetic of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division has been transformed into these concise symbols and formulas.

He can solve extremely complex multiplication and division operations almost in a single breath.

Originally, it took a stick of incense to calculate the distance from the paper to the moon forty-one times, but now he only needs a short period of dozens of breaths, which greatly reduces the time.
