Zhang Shou felt that his experience in Cangzhou in the past few months, although it was not ups and downs - the uncle who had suffered an assassination was called ups and downs, thrilling - but after leaving the capital and seeing the folk scene with his own eyes, he also gained a lot.

At this moment, he sat in Ge Yong's carriage in which the emperor's usual clothes were sitting, and there was still an ice basin on a hot day, and he only felt that compared with the hard work of the road when he came, this return journey was much more comfortable. He even enthusiastically and sincerely advised Ge Yong not to read in the moving car, but he was given several big eyes by the teacher.

"An inch of time is an inch of gold, an inch of gold is difficult to buy an inch of time, my old man doesn't have so much time to waste as you, how can you do it if you don't hurry? Besides, if you look at your two future students in the car behind you, as soon as you get in the car, you can't let go of the papers, how can I lose to the apprentices? ”

Zhang Shou suddenly couldn't laugh or cry. A few days before his departure, he organized a large-scale donation for Wen Dao Yi School, and at the same time, under the witness of Ge Yong, he and Xu Weng agreed on the expansion of Wen Dao School's enrollment in the future. In the case that the reform of county school and state school is not easy, he can only start from the Wendao School, which is relatively mature in teaching and operation, and has a great reputation in Cangzhou.

As for the two students who were very interested in arithmetic and had quite good talents from Xu Weng's side, and planned to be the supervisors of the second phase of Jiuzhangtang, it would be considered an unexpected joy. No, those two students from poor backgrounds were all studying "Ge's Arithmetic New Edition" in the carriage behind, and they actually forced the tireless old lady Ge out of a sense of crisis!

"Teacher, time is very precious, and it is also a very admirable quality to live and learn, but don't forget that you are not old at all." Zhang Shou slapped a sycophant, and seeing that Ge Yong was not moved at all, he said with a smile, "I also know that learning is endless, and because of this, I hope that more people can work together to derive arithmetic to a new level." ”

"You're just lazy!"

Ge Yong ruthlessly exposed the essence of Zhang Shou, he was not embarrassed at all when he saw people, but nodded happily, he couldn't help but roll up the scroll in his hand casually, knocked it on Zhang Shou's head, and saw that people were still smiling freely, as if he would always be such a glorious appearance, he didn't know whether he should be angry or helpless.

"Your kid has such good qualifications, but he just looks like a lazy death."

"Those who can work hard, I don't want to become Brother Zhu who has all kinds of opportunities." Zhang Shou smiled and said without any guilt, "If you hadn't brought me back, teacher, I was afraid that Brother Zhu would drag me to help him for a day in Cangzhou." He is a conscientious and hard worker, but I am a lazy idler who can take a leisurely time, how can it be the same? ”

"You want to be idle before you're twenty? Dream on! If you really want to be leisurely, I said to take the canal by boat, but you still don't want to! ”

Zhang Shou opened the curtains and looked at the sky, and then said unhurriedly: "When the teacher came to Cangzhou before, didn't he say that the emperor also suggested that you take the waterway, because it was too slow, so he sent you a carriage?" Now on this trip to Beijing, with your habit of cherishing manpower and material resources, you will definitely not let the carriage return empty, but you will take a boat. ”

Don't even let me have the upper hand, you unscrupulous disciple!

Ge Yong glared at Zhang Shou with some anger, and finally stopped speaking angrily. However, when Zhang Shou diligently poured tea and handed water to wipe his sweat, the old man's freshly fried hair finally gradually smoothed out, and then he said happily: "I don't like to take a boat, especially from Tianjin to the capital. ”

"Even though I knew that if those slender men didn't do this, then they wouldn't know what else to do, and they would starve to death if they didn't work, but I still felt uncomfortable watching people pull the boat forward. So, whether it's the loom spinning wheel you came up with before, or anything else you're thinking about, I'm all in favor of it. ”

"Being able to put in less effort and get more output is the way forward. Even if some people will lose their jobs because of the increasing number of machines, the world is so big, and if you try to find it, you should always be able to find a job that people can do. Even if one day, all the work that everyone can do, the machine can do it, it is not a thing to be wary of. ”

The old lady narrowed her eyes slightly, and then said with some fascination: "Few people are willing to study arithmetic nowadays, and that's because it doesn't help them to be officials and help them live, but if one day, everyone can have no worries about food and clothing, and the officials may not need it either, then the rest of the time, can't they be devoted to studying?" ”

Zhang Shou was immediately amused by Ge Yong's good wish - I have to say that some people pessimistically believe that one day under the premise that all material life is satisfied, human beings will definitely fall into emptiness, but some people are optimistic that once they are liberated from the crisis of survival, human beings will definitely liberate the instinct of learning and exploration, and it must be an era of rapid development.

And his view is somewhere in between, and of course, it's too early to think about it.

However, he doesn't mind backing up his optimistic teacher. So, after his smiling approval and flattery, Ge Yong's face showed a visible change for the better, and then he imagined a beautiful scene of people all over the world studying mathematics together.

In the face of this scene, Zhang Shou really wanted to tell Mr. Ge that after hundreds of years, mathematics is really the first basic subject like Chinese, and everyone has to study for at least nine years (compulsory education), then three years of further study (high school education), and then students who choose science and engineering will have to undergo at least one year of horror baptism in advanced mathematics.

No matter how much the scumbags hate this, however, those with excellent qualifications and extreme talent will definitely stand out from it.

Under such an education and selection system, there will be absolutely no fish that slip through the net!

The teachers and students looked forward to the future in the carriage like this, and when this day was dusk, the group finally arrived in Tongzhou. This is the last stop before entering Beijing, however, when he arrived at the amphibious Luhe Station, Zhang Shou helped Ge Yong, the teacher who was the first in the grade, to get off the bus, and the post man who greeted him was terrified to the extreme after learning their identities.

"Ge ...... Master Ge, the post station is just full today. A courtyard to the west lived the political envoy of Zhejiang, the envoy of Hubei and the new Tianjin Dao. In the courtyard to the east lived three inspectors. Another yard to live ......"

He swallowed hard before stammering, "In the other courtyard lives the old Jiang Ge who has just returned to his hometown as the crown prince and the Taibao...... No, Mr. Jiang. ”

This is simply a narrow road!

It was only at this time that Zhang Shou learned that Elder Jiang Ge had bowed and stepped down. It can't be said that he is closed to news, anyway, they are heading to the capital, and the capital is not in a hurry to inform them of such news. As for bumping into it here, I'm afraid it's to blame the former Shousuke for packing up his bedding and running away, which is really a little faster.

Seeing that Ge Yong frowned slightly, Zhang Shou didn't speak, and the post man only felt sweating profusely, not to mention how bitter he was. Tongzhou Luhe Station is the main road to the capital, the post station in the entire North Zhili is also ranked in the top three, the problem is that there are too many important people, not to mention oil and water, when he ushers in the send, as long as it does not anger these high-grade old adults, it will be Amitabha.

Who would have thought that the former Lord Shoufu and the current Emperor Master Ge would both appear in his small post station on the same day? Jiang Ge Lao didn't dare to offend him even if he left office, could it be that he wanted to ask other officials who lived in the post station to make room for Ge Taishi?

They are all old Jiangge pomp, there are not many family members, but there are a lot of entourage, just because of the emperor's order to gallop back to his hometown, he occupies a whole courtyard in a grand manner! It's still the best courtyard that the political envoy of Zhejiang took the lead in letting out!

Ge Yong was about to cry when he saw the post man, so he looked sideways at Zhang Shou and asked, "It seems that this post station is really full, what do you say?" ”

Zhang Shou saw that there were a lot of onlookers, including the people who came and went here, as well as the family members of the post keepers and the officials who stayed here, etc., so he said casually: "The teacher is a first-class master, and it stands to reason that he naturally has to live in the post station, but since it is really full, there is no need to toss." Tongzhou is so big, there will never be no place to live. ”

As he spoke, he smiled at Ge Yong and said, "Teacher, it's rare for me to show my filial piety as a student, how about finding a century-old shop in the city to live?" Last time, I heard Yingying say that there is a century-old shop with an inn in Tongzhou, and the copper pot fish is special. ”

Seeing that Zhang Shou decided not to fight for this idle breath without thinking about it, Ge Yong immediately nodded appreciatively. His qualifications are older than Jiang Ge Lao, and his official quality is higher than that of others, not to mention that although he is now idle and doesn't care about things, because he is from the capital, the emperor has to come over to see him as a teacher from time to time, and Jiang Ge Lao, who is also a scholar, has to return to his hometown, but because of this, there is no need to fight.

He immediately smiled at the frightened poster: "It's okay if it's full, let's go live elsewhere." You don't have to work anymore. ”

Zhang Shou also nodded slightly to Na Yicheng, and then helped Ge Yong to get into the car. However. Before Ge Yong's feet stepped on the pedals, he heard a voice from behind him: "But is it Master Ge and Dr. Zhang?" Xiaguan is Liu Chuan, the political envoy of Zhejiang, and Xiaguan lives with Brother Qing of Hubei and Brother Chen of Tianjin Dao, if Master Ge does not dislike it, our courtyard can be vacated! ”

"Three kindnesses, my old man understands it. But there is a way that comes first and comes first, and there is absolutely no reason for letting people come first because the official quality is lower than mine, so let me come later. ”

Ge Yong got into the car first and sat down and said such a sentence, and when he saw Ah Liu next to him with one hand opening the curtain for himself, he said with a smile: "It's rare that I, a student, is willing to pay for filial piety, and I don't like to miss this opportunity." Thank you for your kindness, but you don't have to. ”

Seeing Ge Yong say this, Zhang Shou bowed his hand to the Zhejiang political envoy who hurried out.

"This Uncle Liu, it's rare for me to find such an opportunity to be courteous to the teacher, don't you rob me. I thank you for your kindness, and I also ask Uncle Fang to thank Neizhong Qinglian and Chen Daotai for my behalf. ”

The political envoy Liu Bu, who had already given up the house once, saw Zhang Shou boarding the car with a smile, followed by more than a dozen guards who were superb at a glance and escorted the carriage immediately, without the meaning of dragging mud and water at all, whether he was unwilling or reluctant He didn't know, but people were unwilling to stay longer but it was very clear, he was stunned for a moment, then he took a deep breath and raised his voice sharply.

"The old lady is really a model for others, humble and tolerant, worthy of being a model for my generation of court officials!"

He took the lead, whether it was the people who were watching around him, the officials who didn't dare to show their heads but hurriedly came to show their faces, and even the post men and post dings, all of them hurriedly echoed one after another. Isn't it right to praise an old lady who doesn't cause trouble?

After all, in a place like a post station, where people come and go, there are often only those who quarrel or even abuse each other for a good room and yard, but few can be calm and give in when the house is full. That's Master Ge, people with seniority and official products are there, if it is a shelf, who dares not to let it?

In the main room of the south-facing compound of the post station, when they learned that Ge Yong and Zhang Shou heard that the post station was full and left immediately without hesitation, the former head of Zhishi, Jiang Ge Lao, suddenly became colder with a cold face.

And when the entourage who reported the incident said with a smile on his face that they respected the old man's prestige, he finally couldn't help it.

He put down the teacup in his hand and scolded: "Respect my prestige? I'm an idler who has already returned to my hometown to retire, what other prestige can I respect? If there is only one Zhang Shou, Ge Yong is a dignified master, can he use me? If it weren't for his support for Zhang Shou in Cangzhou this time, so many non-parliaments would have been suppressed by the emperor? ”

Seeing that the entourage was silent, Jiang Ge Lao knew that he had lost his temper greatly, but at this moment, he was too lazy to endure it and was about to expel the person out, when he suddenly changed his mind and immediately ordered: "You take a few people to chase the teacher and student, just say that I am grateful to the emperor to return to my hometown, and I dare not be ashamed, how can I be cheeky to occupy a courtyard again, so that the two envoys have no place to live." ”

"Just say that I will let half of the courtyard come out, and ask Taishi Ge and Dr. Zhang to stay in this Luhe Station!"

The entourage was already completely dumbfounded, and his eyes suddenly looked at the equally surprised staff member beside Jiang Ge Lao. I think it was this Mr. Sima who told him and a few other people to watch the excitement from a distance, once Ge Yong or Zhang Shou was angry about the fact that the post station had no room to live in, then they tried to incite the emotions of the people around them, but this trick didn't work at all.

People don't make noise or make a fuss, just turn around and leave! And now, he still has to find a way to bring people back? Knowing this, he had just run out early to offer his courtesies like that Liu Bu's political envoy, at least he could sell it well!

Seeing that Mr. Sima was silent, he didn't dare to disobey his master's words, so he hurriedly agreed to go away.

And as soon as he left, Jiang Ge Lao said coldly: "If people know that I, an idler who has already become a scholar, actually forced the emperor's teacher to retreat, those guys will definitely hold on to it again!" I didn't expect that Ge Yong would cultivate himself when he was old, how could he have any humility and forbearance, I thought he was a real temper at the beginning! ”
