Forty-eighty-seven Ade's truthful words

At the same time, because the board books written by the lecturer on the blackboard are all horizontal, as a student, I have to copy them. In addition to switching to a dipping pen, most people's writing format has also been changed to horizontal left-to-right - when the wrist of the right hand is not raised, and the ink is not dry, it is easy to erase the previous handwriting by using the right-to-left format, and the vertical text is very troublesome in recording all kinds of mathematical formulas.biquge.info

Someone once protested to the teacher, saying that he asked for vertical lines to suit most people's habits, but the lecturer spread his hands and bluntly said that we are not used to writing vertical lines, and we don't know how to express mathematical formulas in vertical lines. Besides, hasn't Daming always paid attention to respecting teachers, is the student adapting to the teacher or the teacher adapting to the student?

When this sentence came out, those students had nothing to say, so they had to continue to write awkwardly and horizontally. However, after a long time, I gradually got used to it - after all, people's eyes are arranged left and right, and the horizontal field of vision is larger than the vertical one, and modern people basically don't need to turn their necks to read horizontal documents. The traditional way of reading in China is to shake your head, because reading vertical characters definitely requires turning your head up and down, and it is slower in degree than horizontal.

And after accepting the first habit of short hair, other changes naturally followed...... For example, some people have gone one step further and have begun to learn to use short-haired cursive and alternative simplified fonts in their notes - so that the writing can be much faster. However, Shi Kefa could not accept this, he still insisted on using regular characters, and wrote every word meticulously one stroke at a time. Even if it slows down because of this, and he has to copy notes late into the night every day, he still does not waver - Shi Kefa is absolutely unacceptable to the theory put forward by Shorthair that "words are only tools used to record thoughts and language, and any tool is based on simplicity and practicality".

Reading and writing has always been regarded as a very sacred thing in China, and folklore has it that Cangjie made words, and ghosts and gods cried, because of the ability to record the will of heaven was learned by mortals. Since ancient times, scholars have always been nobler than ordinary people, isn't it because the way of writing is difficult to master!

To this day, those short-haired people themselves - although they are different from what Da Ming learned, but they are all cultural people, even Shi Kefa cannot deny this. But these people actually say that writing is just a tool, and that scholars can use words, just as farmers can use hoes, and craftsmen can use axes and saws, and there is nothing to be proud of—this is simply digging the roots of scholars! As a dignified scholar who finally came out of the imperial examination, he Shi Kefa couldn't accept this!

It's just that the shape is stronger than people at the moment, and even though Shi Kefa is very keen to see the sinister intention of short-haired people to reduce the status of readers, he is helpless in such an environment. He had debated with Zhao Lide in class with several like-minded people about the rights and wrongs of the "theory of writing tools", and this group of scholars had successfully forced Zhao to admit that their short-haired simplified font did not really reflect the breadth and profundity of Chinese culture, and could only be regarded as a superficial, rather superficial thing.

But Mr. Zhao, after readily admitting the shortcomings of simplified words, jumped out of their topic. No longer arguing with them about the short-haired Chinese culture literacy, but directly threw out two practical problems for them, the contemporary Confucians, to solve - a certain merchant owes a sum of money and grain to the official warehouse, and now he has to repay it, because the time is relatively long, more than ten years, and compound interest needs to be calculated. In addition, the government wants to collect agricultural tax on a certain land, which is an irregular plot of land, in which there are not only flat land but also hillsides, please determine the area of tax to be collected......

It is essentially arithmetic and geometry and requires them to do related operations. Shi Kefa and the others were very unconvinced, but it was not easy to say that they could not do these miscellaneous things -- according to the content of the training a few days ago, this was exactly what they were in charge of. Of course, in the actual administration, the relevant officials must be responsible for the calculation, but you, as the chief official, must not be ignorant of this, and the following people say how much is how much, right? Otherwise, someone will buy off the people below and damage the public féisī, and when the accounts are not right, the board will still be slapped on the ass of the confused official.

A group of Confucians gritted their teeth and calculated for a long time, but the answers they came up with were varied, and they knew that there must be something wrong without others saying it. Then Zhao Lide counted it on the spot and showed them it, and the step by step process was clearly written on the blackboard, and it took about ten minutes before and after.

When the answer came out, even if Shi Kefa and the others had already been mentally prepared, they couldn't help blushing a little - none of them were right, but a few low-level officials who were silent came up with the correct answers, but there was only one of the two questions that were correct - Ade casually asked the person's teacher, but it was from Xu Guangqi's lineage.

"This kind of arithmetic is not what we are good at, and some mistakes are inevitable - does Mr. Zhao dare to compose poems by writing poems?"

There were still some people among the students who were not convinced, but Shi Kefa was already embarrassed to speak again-sure enough, Zhao Lide immediately replied to the person:

"I'm sorry, this is neither the capital nor the south of the Yangtze River, and I'm afraid there aren't many people who can understand Chinese in the place you want to govern. No matter how good the ability of poetry and music is, it is not used here. ”

When Ade said this, the faces of the students in the room were quite depressed - the first batch of officials sent by Qian Qianyi this time were undoubtedly all Donglin Party members belonging to his faction. Poetry is against them, and talking and chatting is their forte, but it is more difficult for them to do something practical in a down-to-earth manner.

So in the end, what Zhao Lide said to them can be regarded as heartfelt, quite realistic:

"Ladies and gentlemen, when it comes to literacy, there are really few people on our side who can compare with you. It is impossible for us to spend a lifetime studying a few books and figuring out the meaning of every sentence and word in them...... However, in order to manage a government and a county, and to govern the land by the people, it is far from enough to have literature. Maybe in the Ming Dynasty, you can also rely on the masters, lay officials, and village gentry, all of them do things according to the old rules, fill in the lyrics and compose poems comfortably, and be happy to find a few fans to sing and one or two, and be a happy peace officer. But not here, as I've been briefed these days, you should know what a complex environment you're going to be facing. Even on this Qiongzhou Island, the Inner 6 Li Tong did not really recognize the rule of the Ming Dynasty in the past, let alone the other two islands, you were the first to go to govern as court officials. There is no old precedent to follow, and you have to rely on yourself to break through the obstacles! ”

"Just come when you read the book]ωA~p And to tell the truth, with the current situation in the DPRK and China, we Qiong Haijun and Qian Shangshu are standing together with you Donglin. Lord Qian sent you here, and it was certainly not for nothing that he did for us - after you have accumulated enough experience and knowledge, I believe you will be transferred back to the mainland. But after you return to the Ming Dynasty, can you be a peace officer? -- What is the current Ming Dynasty like, you Donglin Party members usually like to talk about current affairs, and you must all know something. The situation in Liaodong is already a mess, so there is no need to talk about it for the time being. It is Shaanxi, Henan, Shanxi, and Shandong, which was drawn by us not long ago...... Even if it is a place in the south of the Yangtze River, whether it can be supported by the traditional theory of the so-called 'half of the Treatise on Governing the World' by your Central Plains scholars, you should also know in your hearts. ”

There was silence in the classroom, and if everyone was debating at the banquet table, these Donglin scholars would definitely not admit defeat. But right now in the classroom, Zhao Lide is their lecturer, and their previous questioning has violated traditional etiquette. However, the short-haired teacher has always encouraged questions in his lectures, but it can be ignored.

But what Zhao Lide said at this time, that is, no matter how clever the words are, the scholars can't erase their conscience and say that they are wrong, although the literati group of the Donglin Party talks a lot on paper, but the patriotic blood in their hearts, and the idea of serving the country are still relatively sincere, they just lack practical guidance.

After a long time, with Shi Kefa as the guide, more than a dozen students arched their hands and bowed for a long time:

"I hope that Mr. will teach us."

Ade smiled and pointed casually outside:

"It is precisely because of agreeing to teach that Qian Shangshu will send you here-the environment on our side is far worse than on the mainland. But our Joan Navy has plenty of money and food, and you must have seen it with your own eyes these days. But of course, these things could not have fallen from the sky, nor could anyone give them to us - all this qiē harvest could only be done with our own hands. And the tools we rely on ......"

Ade pointed to the equation on the blackboard:

"That's it - mathematics is the foundation of most natural sciences. Of course, the same is true for language and writing. If we start with children, we will focus on teaching them two things - Chinese and mathematics. However, your knowledge of the written language is far greater than what is needed to study other subjects, so there is no aspect in the training courses that have been arranged for you. And your mathematical foundation is too weak to have to strengthen your training in this area......"

"That...... What do we need to learn about these things? ”

Someone among the students asked, Zhao Lide thought about it and pointed to himself:

"I, Zhao, am in the Qiongzhou Mansion at present, in fact, it is similar to your future work after taking office, and I am in charge of managing people. Therefore, for all kinds of miscellaneous science, you only need to have a general mastery, and there are other people in charge of engineering technology. And your situation is similar, as long as you know a little bit about each subject - it is impossible to teach you much in just one month. If you are interested, you will be able to bsp yourself in the future;
