Chapter 118: The First Lesson
Wei Zhongxian almost wanted to laugh out loud, what he was most unaccustomed to was that these people were all sanctimonious, they couldn't do anything big, and they would chatter above the court.
It's just that he is also a little curious, Zhu Youxiao is so protective of Lin Ping'an, and even does not hesitate to harden these ministers, what is this for?
Although he couldn't understand the truth of this, it was naturally an extremely happy thing to see Yang Lian and the others deflated, so he hummed a little song and walked out of the hall with a smile.
Shi Fenglai finally breathed a sigh of relief, today's Zhu Youxiao was too abnormal, which also made him feel strange, but he didn't think much about it, because he was very happy, since Lin Ping'an was still Lin Ping'an, then he was still the Shi Fenglai who Lin Ping'an gave poems, and this was enough.
For a few days, nothing happened, and Jiang Xingzhou and the others finally swallowed their hearts back into their stomachs.
Shi Gan came once and described what happened in the court that day, and several people jumped up excitedly.
His Majesty the Emperor is so protective of Lin Ping'an, so what are you afraid of, as long as you follow the dean, the future will be limitless.
So these people were like chickens, and they worked hard to do a good job in this academy.
Lin Ping'an was not idle, and after consulting with the four great talents, he divided the teaching subjects of the academy into three categories, namely the Four Books and Five Classics, mathematics and natural science.
The Four Books and Five Classics have been handed over to the Four Great Talents, in this regard, Lin Ping'an is self-aware, and occasionally prostitutes, but if he really teaches the Four Books and Five Classics, he asks himself if he has this ability.
The rest are mathematics and natural science, which can only be taught by Lin Ping'an himself.
Ancient mathematics because there is no introduction of equations and other concepts, so it is more abstract, take the ancient very famous pheasant rabbit cage problem, if in modern times, that is, a simple binary equation can be solved, junior high school students can easily solve, but in ancient times, it is very brain-consuming.
What Lin Ping'an wants to talk about is equations, for him, a high-achieving student who graduated from 985, this kind of thing is not difficult, as for the things in advanced mathematics, Lin Ping'an decided to give up, after all, he didn't want to train a few mathematicians in this world.
As for natural science, Lin Ping'an plans to combine physics, chemistry, and geography to talk about some easy-to-understand things, such as why telescopes can see far away? For example, why can hot air balloons carry people into the air? Why is the Earth round? Why do two things change when put together?
These knowledge were all learned by high school students in later generations, and Lin Ping'an felt that it was enough to set the difficulty in this position, after all, the ancient people had never been exposed to these, and it would take at least three or five years to start from scratch.
When the teaching subjects of Zhulin Academy were announced, it immediately caused an uproar, in addition to arithmetic, physics and chemistry were something they had never heard of, and while they were full of curiosity, they also had a trace of doubts about Lin Ping'an.
"Does our dean really have such great ability?"
Many students had the same question mark in their hearts, and even Jiang Xingzhou and others couldn't help but be a little worried.
"Brother Xingzhou, will the dean mess up the reputation of our academy if he does this?"
Liu Wushuang asked worriedly.
It has been a few years since the opening of the Bamboo Forest Academy, and the lectures on weekdays are the Four Books and Five Classics, poems and songs, etc., and even arithmetic is rarely involved, let alone physics and chemistry that I have never heard of.
Wei Wuya nodded, and said in a deep voice:
"If you want to be different and look different, it's understandable, I'm afraid that my ability is not enough, and when the time comes, I will make people laugh."
Song Zhice on the side shook his head and denied:
"In my opinion, this will definitely not be the case, although the dean is young, but he is calm, since he has done this, he is naturally confident, and we should not have any doubts."
Hearing this, the other three nodded, and Jiang Xingzhou said:
"Tomorrow is Dean Kobayashi's first class, and we'll all listen to it then."
"Then you have to go early, I heard that most of the students in the academy will go to the class, but don't we can't squeeze in by then!"
Liu Wushuang said jokingly, and his heart was also full of a trace of anticipation.
Early the next morning, Lin Ping'an started class, and what he wanted to talk about today was the pheasant rabbit in the same cage from "Sun Tzu's Sutra".
At this moment, the entire classroom was full of people, and those who didn't grab a place could only stand, but what was interesting was that the Xinwang Palace also came.
Although his arrival caused a small commotion, everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Ping'an at this moment.
Lin Ping'an was dressed in green clothes, standing on the podium, looking long and jade, although he was young, he had an extraordinary temperament.
Many female students also came today, it seems to be the atmosphere of the college, they are all wearing plain long shirts, a little powder, looking beautiful and elegant.
At this moment, they looked at Lin Ping'an on the podium, little stars appeared in their eyes, Su Meier bit her red lips tightly, and her eyes stared at Lin Ping'an without blinking.
"Nymphomaniac!"
Liu Yiyi glanced at Su Mei'er and let out a chuckle in her heart, but she was the same as Su Mei'er, looking at Lin Ping'an tightly, and her heart was inexplicably a little excited.
Behind Lin Ping'an was a black wooden plank, which made everyone feel a little surprised.
There is no way, there has never been a blackboard in ancient teaching, and Lin Ping'an deliberately made a wooden board before this, which was brushed with ink, so that it was made into a simple blackboard and hung on the wall of the classroom.
In front of him was a table with a wooden box on top of it, and inside it was a box of chalk that he had newly made.
When doing this at that time, Jiang Xingzhou and the others felt very strange, they watched Lin Ping'an pour the adjusted gypsum into the cylindrical mold, and they didn't know what Lin Ping'an wanted to do at all.
"It's called chalk."
After the plaster solidified, Lin Ping'an turned the mold upside down and pointed to the small white sticks and said.
Then he wrote on the homemade blackboard with chalk, and as he moved, a beautiful line of small print appeared on the blackboard.
Not to mention, Lin Ping'an is not good at writing calligraphy, but he still has two brushes for chalk writing.
Looking at the stunned Jiang Xingzhou and the four people, Lin Ping'an smiled, picked up the prepared brush and waved it a few times, and the line disappeared, and then he wrote a line of words again in the original position.
"How, isn't it convenient to use this thing to teach?"
At that time, Lin Ping'an casually threw the chalk on the table and said with a smile.
The chalk snapped and broke, which made Jiang Xingzhou's four people feel extremely distressed, and the four of them picked up the chalk and put it in front of their eyes to watch carefully, and their mouths made an exclamation sound.
"The dean is indeed a man of God!"
Liu Wushuang couldn't help but mutter, he simply couldn't put down these chalks.
At this time, Lin Ping'an picked up the chalk and wrote a row of Arabic numerals under the gaze of everyone.
Looking at the numbers on the blackboard, everyone looked puzzled.
What the hell is this?
I've never seen it!
Lin Ping'an smiled slightly, wrote the corresponding traditional Chinese characters under each Arabic numeral, and then said:
"The first thing I'm going to teach you today is a method of counting."
As he spoke, he pointed to the Arabic numeral 1 with the whip in his hand.
There was silence in the classroom, everyone listened intently, and when Lin Ping'an combined these Arabic numerals to form a hundred-digit number, these people's mouths let out an exclamation.
If you follow the previous counting method of the Ming Dynasty, just describing a hundred-digit number requires a long series of words, which is extremely cumbersome and easy to make mistakes.
Lin Ping'an's use of this Arabic numeral counting method is not only simple, but also intuitive, which is really breathtaking.
Zhu Youzhen's heart was surging, he only came today with a hint of curiosity, wanting to see what Lin Ping'an's so-called natural science was?
When he saw the blackboard and chalk just now, he was already very surprised, and at this moment, he heard Lin Ping'an explain the counting method of the Arabic numerals, and it was even more difficult to hide the excitement in his heart.
As a child of the royal family, Zhu Youzhen has received a comprehensive education since he was a child, in addition to the Four Books and Five Classics, naturally including arithmetic, he also remembers that when he was a child, if he wanted to write a hundred-digit number, it would take a long string of words to finish, but today's Lin Ping'an only used three symbols to replace this string of words, which is really extraordinary.
"He is indeed the one who has been instructed by the god of medicine."
He sighed silently in his heart: "His ability is unfathomable, it seems that God blesses the Ming, and the emperor's eyes are like torches, which is admirable!" ”
Although Zhu Youzhu is young, he naturally does not need to go to the court, and he is also very low-key, but it does not mean that he does not care about political affairs, on the contrary, this young prince is in the palace of King Xin almost every moment watching every move in the court.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao was naturally clear about the matter of protecting Lin Ping'an at the court meeting that day, and he seemed to understand the good intentions of his imperial brother at this moment.
Lin Ping'an's explanation continued, and after explaining the ten most basic Arabic numerals, he wrote on the blackboard symbols such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and parentheses.
These were originally the most basic things in the later life, but when they were placed here, it was a completely unfamiliar field.
In fact, everyone present can understand the meaning of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, because as early as the Spring and Autumn Period more than 2,000 years ago, there were ninety-nine songs in Chinese history, that is, the ninety-nine multiplication table of later generations, but these symbols of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division were not used in the expression.
At this moment, Lin Ping'an directly wrote out the ninety-nine multiplication table of later generations in the blackboard, and everyone immediately understood the meaning of these symbols, and at the same time let out a sigh of amazement.
The reason is still that, simple and intuitive!
After saying this, Lin Ping'an's mouth was a little dry, he took a sip of tea, and finally wrote the title of the pheasant rabbit in the same cage on the blackboard.
Looking at this question, many people can't help but be a little disappointed, because this question is from "Sun Tzu's Arithmetic", many people have already learned his solution, Lin Ping'an took it out at the moment, but he underestimated their meaning.
Jiang Xingzhou and the four of them were also a little stunned, today's class was very amazing at the beginning, and it completely calmed everyone, but at this moment, is it a bit anticlimactic to take such a question?
Zhu Youzhen smiled dumbly in his heart, he looked at the students around him, and said with a secret smile in his heart:
"Dean Kobayashi is really interesting, I'm afraid he underestimated his group of students too much."
Indeed, this question is not difficult, and it is a representative topic in "Sun Tzu's Sutra of Calculation", but anyone who has been exposed to arithmetic must know the solution of this problem.
Lin Ping'an looked at everyone's demeanor, and naturally knew what they were thinking, only to see him smile slightly and say:
"Many people must know the solution to this problem, but today I want to explain how to use the numbers we learned earlier to solve this problem more easily."
Hearing this, everyone suddenly became interested, and looked at Lin Ping'an with wide eyes one by one, their eyes full of expectation.
At this moment, the second gong sounded outside the classroom, Lin Ping'an put down the chalk and said briefly to everyone: "Continue in the afternoon." ”
Everyone was a little reluctant, when the gong sounded for the first time before, these people didn't move their buttocks, and Lin Ping'an didn't rest, it sounded again at this moment, and everyone realized that it was almost noon unconsciously, and their stomachs were already a little hungry.
So everyone walked out of the classroom and walked towards the cafeteria of the college.
Lin Ping'an came to Zhu Youzhen's face and said:
"His Royal Highness King Xin smiled, if you don't dislike it, can you try my cooking skills?"
Hearing this, Zhu Youzhen's eyes widened, and he pointed at Lin Ping'an and shouted:
"Don't tell me, you can cook!"
