Chapter 296: Race for Admission
Following.
As the T-Class students returned to Chang'an and the state capitals, many felt the tremendous change in their children.
was unruly in the past, but now although it is not gentle and humble, it is also much gentler.
The original profligacy is now much more restrained, although it is not thrifty and thrifty.
There are many similar changes, and most of them are for the better.
Some of the children even offered to study hard.
Parents and elders see these changes in their eyes and are happy in their hearts.
To tell the truth, before sending them to Mingxiu Academy, they were mentally prepared that the child would not get better, and they just wanted to mix the name of a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven and say it well in the future.
also leave a way back for your children, and in the future, they may be able to get some preferential treatment with this name.
But who would have thought that in just two or three months, the original stubborn child would have such a big change.
This made them overjoyed and at the same time, they were grateful from the bottom of their hearts for the existence of Mingxiu Academy.
The child changed his ways, and the prodigal son turned back, of course, he wished that everyone in the world would know about it.
Therefore, in less than three days, the reputation of Mingxiu Academy spread throughout the entire Daqian!
At first, most people don't believe that a person can change so dramatically in such a short period of time, but after hearing more about it, they begin to doubt their own judgment.
And when they actually saw those children, they immediately realized that the rumors were right!
The prodigal sons who studied in Mingxiu Academy have really changed their ways!
Thereupon.
These people also all had the idea of sending their children to study at Mingxiu Academy.
Although three thousand taels of silver is a lot, for them, they can still get it by gritting their teeth.
If three thousand taels of silver can make his son change his ways, it will be a good deal!
Time passes.
In the blink of an eye, it is the sixth day of family leave.
In the Mingxiu Academy.
Rong Hao, a scholar from Hanlin, stood in the courtyard, watching the withered yellow fallen leaves drifting down from the sky, sighed leisurely, frowned, and said: "One day, the students of the T-shaped class will return to the academy, so that the gentlemen can prepare well, and don't be so angry with those children that they vomit blood like before." β
The voice fell.
A young man next to him said: "My lord, Mr. Liu, who teaches arithmetic, still doesn't want to go to the T-shaped class anymore, he said......"
Speaking of this, he paused and hesitated: "If the adult insists on letting him go to the T-shaped class, he will resign and go home and not be this gentleman." β
When Rong Hao heard this, his brows furrowed slightly and fell silent.
After a while, he looked at the young man and asked, "Wang Shuo, what do you think about this matter?" β
The young man named Wang Shuo was silent for a long time, and said: "The students think that the vast majority of the students in the T-shaped class come to the academy just to mix up the name of a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven, since this is the case, there is no need to be too strict with them, such as arithmetic and such exquisite knowledge, they just don't learn."
Mr. Liu is still quite good at arithmetic, and now the only one in the entire academy and even the whole world can understand the so-called advanced mathematics, and Mr. Liu must not be forced to resign because of the stubborn T-class students. β
Rong Hao was silent for a long time, sighed, and said: "No matter how stubborn the students of the T-shaped class are, they are also students of the academy, Fang Xiang clearly said that the students of the Mingxiu Academy must master three disciplines, among which arithmetic ranks second, so this arithmetic still has to be taught, Mr. Liu is unwilling to teach, so he recruited a doctor of arithmetic from Guozijian to teach them. β
Wang Shuo nodded, and said in a heavy tone: "The student understands. β
Rong Hao heard the loss in his tone, and knew in his heart that he didn't want to teach the students of the T-class either.
The words just now were not only about Liu Erli, but also about himself.
"The old man knows that you don't want to go to the T-shaped class, but since you are young, you have to take on more responsibilities, and the old man will tell Fang Xiang that the gentleman of your T-shaped class will add two taels of silver every month, which can be regarded as some compensation for you."
"Thank you, sir."
Wang Shuo bowed respectfully.
Rong Hao glanced at him and changed the topic: "The old man heard that you have been doing some experiments recently to verify the theorems proposed in the book, and you have made some achievements?" β
When Wang Shuo heard this, he was instantly interested, raised his eyebrows, and said excitedly: "The achievements have not been achieved, because what the students can think of, and what they can't think of, are all clearly and clearly explained in the physics books."
Physics, physics, the truth of all things in the world, students have never thought that everything in the world actually runs like this, and many things that violate common sense only after experiments do they know that they are actually facts.
The students are still only doing some of the simplest experiments, and when the money is allocated, the students can do more experiments, and if they can study the so-called electricity, from now on, I will be completely new! β
As a scholar of Hallym University, Rong Hao does not pay much attention to the so-called arithmetic and physics, in his eyes, these are small paths.
However, Fang's relative emphasis on arithmetic and physics far exceeds that of the Four Books and Five Classics.
Language, to be precise.
In the Ming Xiu Academy, the study of the classics of the saints is classified in the language, and the so-called language is the language and writing, and the natural implementation is to study the language and writing of the ancestors.
Language, physics, and arithmetic constitute the three main subjects of knowledge in the Ming Xiu Academy.
A must for any student.
Especially in physics and arithmetic, Fang Xiang allocated a large amount of money for the gentlemen of the academy to study this way.
Therefore.
Even if he doesn't look down on physics and arithmetic, Rong Hao must pay enough attention to it.
"Fang attaches great importance to physics, especially the so-called electromagnetism, and now you are the only one in the academy who has some understanding of electromagnetism, you have to study it well, and whether you can get more silver from Fang Xiang in the future depends on your electromagnetism."
Rong Hao looked at Wang Shuo and said earnestly.
When Wang Shuo heard this, his face showed excitement, and he said loudly: "The students must live up to Fang Xiang's expectations and strive to study the so-called electromagnetic thoroughly as soon as possible!" β
Speaking of this, he didn't know what to think, sighed, and said: "Actually, in the physics book printed by Zhu Fengxuan, there is already an explanation for electromagnetism, but I am really stupid, and even if there is an explanation in many places, I still can't understand it......
Having said that, I don't know who wrote this physics book, but it's really admirable! The laws and truths of so many things in the world can be studied so thoroughly, if students are allowed to study them, I am afraid that they may not be able to get started in two hundred years, three hundred years, or even five hundred years. β
I think of the many subtle laws in physics books.
Wang Shuo's eyes couldn't help but show admiration, and there was only worship in his heart.
Rong Hao glanced at him, and said in his heart: What are the laws and truths of all things in the world, compared with the knowledge of saints, they are just small paths.
I thought so in my heart, but I didn't say that, but said: "If you work hard, your future achievements may not be as good as this person." β
Wang Shuo said in his heart, how can I compare with others?
"Adults, students......"
Wang Shuo opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but before he could speak, he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside.
Immediately afterwards, I saw an errand officer walking briskly, as if he had something important to say.
"What?"
Rong Hao looked at the errand and asked lightly.
The messenger came to him, first saluted, and then said, "Mr. Rong, there are many people outside the academy!" β
"Who are they?" Rong Hao asked.
The messenger hesitated for a moment and said, "The little ones can't recognize it, but judging from the clothes, they should all be dignitaries who are either rich or noble." β
As soon as this remark came out.
Rong Hao chuckled in his heart, and thought: No accident, it should be the parents and elders of the students in the T-shaped class, seeing that their children have not grown, they came to the academy to ask for an explanation.
Although he had a guess in his heart, he still pretended not to know, and asked indifferently: "Do you know what they are doing here?" β
The messenger said: "They are so imposing that the little ones did not dare to delay, so they came to tell you." β
When Rong Hao heard this, he was basically sure in his heart that it was the parents of the students in the T-shaped class who came to ask for an explanation.
After a few breaths of silence, he said in a deep voice: "Send someone back to Chang'an to ask Zhao Zhengrong to send some more catchers over, and then gather all the existing servants of the academy together, and go out with the old man to meet them." β
"Yes! Mr. Rong! β
The officer bowed and turned to leave.
After he left.
Rong Hao looked at Wang Shuo, trying not to show abnormal emotions, and said, "You also go out with the old man." β
"Yes, sir." Although Wang Shuo didn't know what was going on, he could also sense that the atmosphere was heavy, and his expression became solemn.
A moment later.
The messengers gathered around Rong Hao.
Rong Hao took them, as well as a few young gentlemen, to the gate of the academy.
As soon as I walked out of the door of the academy.
I saw dozens of richly dressed middle-aged men standing there, looking excited.
"It's coming! Here it comes! The people of the academy are out! β
When these middle-aged men saw Rong Hao, their faces all showed excitement, and they hurriedly came up.
When the officers saw this, their hearts sank, and they hurried to stop them.
Rong Hao looked around, tried his best to remain indifferent, and said in a deep voice: "Your mood, the old man can understand, but the Ming Xiu Academy was founded by Fang Xiang and His Majesty, and many things are not things that the old man can do, even if you beat the old man, the old man can't do anything, so you better go back!" β
As soon as the words fell.
The middle-aged men erupted into a heated discussion.
"Is it still too late?"
"I knew that the quota in the academy was so tight, and I handed over the three thousand taels of silver when I said anything!"
"Hey...... At the beginning, I thought that it was not worth three thousand taels of silver to study in the academy, who would have thought that now I have silver but I can't read it, and I regret that I shouldn't have done it in the first place! β
The chatter continued for a moment.
Someone looked at Rong Hao and asked loudly, "If we pay more silver, can we be accommodating?" β
When Rong Hao heard this, he was slightly stunned, and subconsciously asked, "Accommodating what?" β
The man was also stunned and said, "Naturally, it's a matter of admission!" β
"Enrollment?"
Rong Hao was stunned when he heard these two words.
Aren't these people here to ask for explanations, or to drop out?
This time.
The middle-aged men looked at Rong Hao's expression, suddenly realized something, and said, "We are here to enroll our children in school!" Mingxiu Academy, three thousand taels of silver are ready! β
As soon as this remark came out.
Not only Rong Hao, but even Wang Shuo and other teaching gentlemen were all stunned.
For no reason, how can these people think about enrolling their children in school?
It stands to reason that after the students of the T-shaped class go back to visit their relatives, shouldn't these people think about withdrawing their children from school?
After all, for two or three months, the students in the T-shaped class didn't learn anything!
Seeing that Rong Hao and the group of teaching gentlemen were silent, the middle-aged men's hearts sank, and they hurriedly said:
"As long as I can let my child enter the T-shaped class, it will not be in the way to pay more silver, so I prepared 4,000 taels of silver, 3,000 taels of silver is the tuition fee for admission, and the other 1,000 taels should be donated to the college!"
"I'm also willing to pay four thousand taels!"
"Actually, I wanted my child to go to the academy before, but then there was a delay, so I asked a few gentlemen to be accommodating and let the child enroll."
Middle-aged men rushed forward to enrol their children in school.
Rong Hao was in a trance for a while, and finally realized that these people were not joking at themselves, but really wanted their children to enroll.
"Three thousand taels of silver is not a small amount, why are you willing to give this amount of money to let your children go to the worst T-shaped class?"
Rong Hao didn't want to ask more, but when he saw them scrambling, he finally didn't hold back and asked the doubts in his heart.
