Chapter 139: Interview
Soon, Wang Bo found Li Yuncong's test paper.
When Wu Qing saw Li Yuncong's words, he couldn't help frowning, the handwriting was like a young child learning words, crooked, really naΓ―ve.
However, Wu Qing carefully looked at the answer question, and slowly a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and after Wu Qing quickly read it roughly, he couldn't help laughing and said: "This person is really a talent in mathematics, physics and chemistry!" β
Wang Bo was very surprised, what is mathematics, physics and chemistry, so he asked: "Childe, what is mathematics, physics and chemistry?" β
Wu Qing was stunned for a moment, pondered for a moment, and said: "Mathematics, physics and chemistry, I call it, mathematics, physics, and chemistry. These three disciplines will be the cornerstone of the future of science. β
Wang Bo was even more shocked, he had never heard of these three sciences, and what was this "science", so he hurriedly asked: "Gongzi's knowledge is admired by Bo, but what is this 'science'?" β
Wu Qing was stunned for a moment, how could he say that the emergence of this science was mainly driven by people's materialist worldview, but most of the Tang Dynasty in this period were idealistic and naΓ―ve materialist worldviews. The reverence for the gods is still very strong. Even the intellectual, with their naΓ―ve materialism, still revered imperial power and attributed unexplained natural phenomena to divine inspiration.
But since Wang Bo wanted to ask, Wu Qing said: "Zi'an, you said that 'the sky is round and the earth is square', is this correct?" β
Wang Bo was stunned for a moment, but he didn't understand the meaning of Wu Qing's question, thought about it, and said: "The sky is like a round cover, and the earth is like a chess game. β
Wu Qing smiled bitterly in his heart, it seems that Wang Bo can only have a talent in poetry, but he is really not good at philosophy.
"Zi'an, I thought. The sayings of the ancients can be inherited, carried forward, and the wisdom of the ancients can be recognized. However, our generation is for future generations, and we should take our ancestors as an example and forge ahead; Based on the teachings of our ancestors, we should innovate and change. The wheel of history is always advancing, and outdated ideas can only be the stepping stone of new ideas of our generation. The ancients believed that the sky was round and the earth was round, and I thought. The place where I live may not be square, maybe it should be round? β
Wu Qing said and exhaled a long breath.
Wang Bo fell into deep thought, Wu Qing's words. The reason is obvious, that is, it denies the theory of the ancients. He had to admit that Wu Qingzhi's talent was indeed higher than himself. But Wu Qing still didn't answer his question. What is science?
Wu Qing continued: "If I reject the theory that the sky is round and the earth is round, then I need to establish a new doctrine, then I need to practice surveying, if I sail from Yangzhou in a sea boat, and after going out to sea, I will sail all the way east. So where will I go? Is it still boundless east, or is it back to square one? The world doesn't know, and I don't know, so I need all kinds of knowledge to help me achieve it. Then I call the truth contained in all this knowledge 'science.'"
In Wang Bo's mind, he couldn't help but think of a Tang Dynasty navigation chart, after going to sea, all the way to the east, where will it go? He couldn't help but be attracted by this question, then looked at Wu Qing and said, "If Gongzi can achieve the goal of going to sea one day, Wang Bo is willing to go east on behalf of Gongzi!" β
Wu Qing said with a smile: "This matter is impossible to achieve now, if he can build a super sea ship that can go to sea one day, I think it will be realized when he goes to sea!" β
Wu Yidao and Ya Jiu's faces also had excitement, but they knew that they might only be able to be Wu Qing's guards in this life.
Wu Qingzi didn't pay attention to the thoughts of the two, he looked at Li Yuncong's answer carefully, the first question was a math problem, that is, the chicken and rabbit in the same cage.
Li Yuncong's solution is very simple, and it is also what Wuqing needs, that is, "If the head is all chicken heads, the number of feet is seventy; But if the number of feet is ninety-four, there are twenty-four feet remaining. four rabbit feet, two chicken feet, two rabbit feet more than chicken feet; The remaining twenty-four feet are extra rabbit feet. There were 12 rabbits and 23 chickens. β
Wu Qing nodded and read the rest of the physics and chemistry questions, although in Wu Qing's eyes, these questions are very simple, but in this era, it is really quite good to be able to solve the answers.
Putting down the test questions, Wu Qing said: "Zi'an, let's eat first, after it's over, let's divide it well, all poetry and medicine will be reviewed by you, and the rest will be left to me." β
Wang Bo naturally agreed, and he also knew that a large number of the sixteen students chose poetry.
It was a busy night, and it wasn't until late at night that Wu Qing and Wang Bo finished reviewing and classifying them together. According to the first interest, based on the answer to the first question, the sixteen people were divided into four categories, namely poetry, music, architecture, and mathematics.
Wu Qing was also quite disappointed, He Zhizhang and Zhang Ruoxu, who had high hopes, both chose poetry, and Wang Bo praised the poetry of the two. Wu Qing could only accompany him. There are only two people in architecture, but only Li Yuncong in mathematics. There are three people in the music, which is very good.
According to this classification, Qingxin Academy may offer very few subjects in the future, which makes Wu Qing's heart heavy.
On the second day, Wu Qingyi met with 16 students one by one. Undoubtedly, the first one is He Zhizhang.
After He Zhizhang gave the salute, Wu Qing let him sit in the guest seat.
Looking at this young scholar who was quite free and easy, Wu Qing smiled and said, "How old is Zhizhang?" β
He Zhizhang replied, "There are seventeen students. β
Wu Qing turned to Wang Bo and said with a smile: "Zi'an has already passed the imperial examination when he was sixteen years old. Zhizhang still needs to work hard. β
Wang Bo smiled: "When the son is thirteen years old, he is ashamed!" β
He Zhizhang's face showed a trace of shame, in front of these two prodigies, his talent was really a little low, suddenly, he seemed to come back to his senses, and said: "The student is stupid, please ask the teacher for guidance!" β
Wu Qing nodded and said: "In terms of talent and learning, you are not as good as the two of us, although your poetry is good, it is only in the state to learn, if you go out of this Yangzhou, out of this Huainan Road, and then look at the world, how smart can you be?" I am born to be useful, maybe you have real talent in a certain area? β
Only then did He Zhizhang understand that it was because of his own learning, as Wu Qing said, his talent can only be regarded as average when looking at the world. But I have followed my father in business since I was a child, and I only know what I know best. Suddenly, he seemed to understand something.
He Zhizhang gave a deep salute, and then said: "The teacher's words made the students suddenly open, and the students were taught!" β
Wu Qing smiled and said, "Since you understand, let's go down and write me an article on the way of doing business, and let me see how talented you are!" β
"Follow the teacher's teachings, the students understand!" He Zhizhang retreated.
Wu Qing looked at Wang Bo at the head of the head and said: "Zi'an, don't blame me, He Zhizhang's business talent is far better than poetry, and the purpose of Qingxin Academy is to teach students according to their aptitude." β
Wang Bo smiled bitterly and said: "Childe is reasonable, how can Bo blame Childe!" β
Next is Zhang Ruoxu, for Zhang Ruoxu, Wu Qing knew that this is also a poet in the bitter memories of the past few days! But now his poetry is not very good, but on top of music, he has a different experience, that is, he feels that the existing pentatonic form, that is, Gong Shang Jiao Zhengyu, can not express perfect music, but he doesn't know how to improve it.
It is true that Wu Qing knows that it is a seven-tone pattern, but it is too early to put forward this theory at this time.
Zhang Ruoxu's musical talent made Wu Qing like it very much, and after a conversation, he retreated.
Next is the mathematics, physics and chemistry talent, Li Yuncong. Li Yuncong's appearance is very ordinary, it is precisely because of the ordinary, Wu Qing feels that he is very unusual, he has a pair of small eyes, and his stature is a little short and fat, but those small eyes are very godly, he bowed his hands, his voice was super loud, and said: "Student Li Yuncong, I have seen the teacher!" β
Wu Qing looked at this mathematical, physical and chemical talent, really liked it in his heart, and said, "Sit down and talk!" β
Suddenly, Wu Qing came up with an idea, he wanted to see how powerful this kid's mathematical talent was, so he said, "Yun Cong, have you ever seen the three questions you answered in a book?" β
Li Yuncong was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Back to the teacher, three questions, the student has never seen it, the student likes to count since he was a child, likes to play with abacus, but he is forced by his parents to learn poetry, which makes the student very distressed." β
I see, can it be said that Li Yuncong is a genius in mathematics, physics and chemistry? So Wu Qing said: "I will ask another question, you will answer it on the spot, if the answer is correct, you will follow me in the future, and learn to be a teacher!" β
Li Yuncong's little eyes lit up, and he got up and arched his hand: "Please also ask the teacher to come and see!" β
Wu Qing pondered for a moment and said: "On the pasture, there is a piece of grass, if the grass grows equally every day, this grass can be eaten by ten cows for twenty days, and fifteen cows can be eaten for ten days, so how many days can this grass be eaten by twenty-five cows?" β
The question is very clear, and the topic seems to be simple, but after Wang Bo thought about it, his face changed, how can this be calculated?
I saw Li Yuncong ponder for a moment, got up and picked up the brush on the bookcase, then spread out the bamboo paper, pressed it with a paperweight, and then began to calculate.
But after a stick of incense, Li Yuncong stood up, held the bamboo paper in his hand, and said, "Please take a look at the teacher, this is the student's answer!" β
Wu Qing praised in his heart, and after being slightly surprised, Wu Yidao took the bamboo paper and handed it to Wu Qing, Wu Qing opened it and looked at it, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he laughed and said: "Yun Cong is really a genius in mathematics, physics and chemistry!"
