The happy life of a prodigal

After all, it is not a small matter.

Fang Xiu thought so, turned and returned to his courtyard.

Xiu'er and her little maids were still sitting around the table, playing mahjong for three people.

After Fang Xiu saw it, a smile appeared on his face, he sat down, and said cheerfully: "Come on, let's continue!"

............

The scholars have to compete with the students of the new academy in math...

The news spread throughout the entire Kyoto Prefecture in just one day.

Zhuxuanzhai did not deliberately conceal the news.

The news was even published on the front page headlines of the day.

The people of Kyoto prefecture naturally found it extremely interesting when they saw it.

Thousands of scholars went to the imperial palace that day, and then went to Fangfu in a mighty way.

They all watched this scene.

At that time, they wondered what happened.

What are these scholars going to do.

How should Xin Anhou respond?

Unexpectedly, the news of the competition appeared the next day.

It has to be said that Marquis Xin'an is indeed magnanimous.

If it was me, I would definitely not agree to the demands of these scholars.

After all, these scholars are all well-read poems and books. Although they read the Four Books and Five Classics, it is not that they have not read some miscellaneous books.

For example, most of the scholars have read the scriptures.

Many of the students in the new-style academies are from poor families, and they may have just learned to read. Although there is a special math class in the curriculum, how do they compare with those scholars?

Isn't it still a typo in the end?

This competition was unfair from the very beginning!

Those scholars are clearly bullying the small with the big.

The people think so.

Scholars but...

I thought so too.

They knew that this was really unfair to the children in the new style academy.

But how can this be?

Compared with the imperial examinations, what are these?

Don't say that sacrificing their reputation is sacrificing their lives. If the imperial examination can be preserved, then there is nothing to say!

The scholars think so.

In the new academy, those students seemed extremely excited.

At this moment, it is in the first new-style academy in the whole of Kyoto Prefecture - Fangxiu Academy of Arts and Sciences.

Many children gathered together to discuss this issue enthusiastically.

"Have you heard? Marquis Xin'an is going to pick someone from among us to compete with those scholars!"

"Try what?"

"Of course it's a competition to learn arithmetic. Compare the Four Books and Five Classics. Are you better than others?"

"It's like arithmetic, we may not be able to compare..."

"That's different!"

"It's indeed different. Among other things, the scholar in our inn must be inferior to us in arithmetic!"

Chen Zhaodi looked around, with a very firm expression on his face, and at the same time, confidence was revealed in his firmness.

When the people around heard this, they all nodded in agreement.

"Zhaodi is one of the best students in mathematics in our academy. If you are a candidate for Xin'an, you should have a chance to recruit your brother, right?"

"Not necessarily, we are too young, and we have read too few classics on mathematics. If you ask me, Xin'anhou may still choose people from Fangxiu Institute of Technology.

I heard that the students of the Polytechnic College are all talented scholars who failed the rankings, they are not only proficient in arithmetic, but also proficient in any...work..."

"project......"

"Yes, engineering! So if Marquis Xin'an chooses someone, it must be someone from the Academy of Science and Technology."

"That's not necessarily the case. So what about scholars? Those scholars are also scholars. Everyone knows how to recruit younger students in arithmetic, and they are almost better than sir!"

Zhao Hao stood beside Chen Zhaodi, looked around, and said loudly.

When Chen Zhaodi heard this, he didn't know what he thought of. He glanced at Zhao Hao and said nothing.

At this time, a voice suddenly came from not far away.

"Mr. is here!"

Chapter 778 Arithmetic Genius

No matter what time it is, a sentence of "Mr." comes, which can always quiet the whole class.

The children of Liberal Arts College were also like this. When they heard this sentence, Mr. came, they all returned to their seats in a hurry, stood upright, and did not say a word.

It wasn't until the gentleman stood still in front of the podium that he stood up respectfully, bowed, and thanked: "The students have met the gentleman."

The arithmetic gentleman just nodded, took out a copy of "Basic Arithmetic" from his arms and put it on the table, then looked around with a dignified expression, and said: "You should more or less understand what happened in front of Xin'anhou's mansion yesterday." Have you heard it from your family?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole school suddenly became lively.

The children all started discussing in low voices, and finally replied in unison: "I have heard of it, sir!"

The arithmetic gentleman still nodded lightly, with a calm look, and continued: "This competition is of great importance, it is related to your future imperial examinations, and it is also related to the future fate of the imperial court.

Therefore, whoever is proficient in arithmetic must do his best.

Sir, I will give each of you a test paper. You take the test well. If you do well in the test, you can represent our new academy and compete with those scholars.

If they win, the dean will give a bonus of 500 taels of silver!

Of course, the importance of this matter is far more than 500 taels of silver. You...you are the pillars of the future and the facade of our new academy, so you must take the exam well! "

Having said that, he paused for a moment, his gaze skipped over every scholar, with an incomparably dignified expression.

When the children saw this scene, their expressions became serious, and they no longer had the same playful smiles as before.

Because they know what kind of mission they shoulder.

They are all the faces of the new-style academy, and they may not be as good as the talents of the Polytechnic Academy in some aspects, but their development potential is greater than those talents.

They are the future of the new academy.

The mathematics teacher said this, sighed leisurely, and continued: "The difficulty of this test paper is relatively high. You have just learned arithmetic for a short time, so it is not normal. When you see the test paper, you can do it. Do as much as you can, forget about what you can't do... I don't blame you, sir."

The mathematics teacher looked worried.

He is not a scholar, and he has not obtained any fame.

Even before coming here, I hadn't read any books.

Zou Zou's speaking style in this article is only learned after studying with other gentlemen for a long time in the past few months.

Therefore, the change in the imperial examination has nothing to do with him.

However, listening to the discussion of several gentlemen in the academy, he also vaguely understood something.

It seems... this change in the imperial examination is still prepared for the academy.

If the imperial examination is changed, the development of new-style academies will be closer to a higher level in the future.

From then on, the original private schools will gradually decline, more and more people will be able to study, and there will be more and more new-style colleges.

That's why this gentleman has a worried expression on his face, hoping that his students can live up to their expectations.

But, on the other hand, he knew that it was not good to put such a heavy burden on these children.

oops......

After all, my mind is muddled, I don't know what I'm talking about, I don't know what I'm thinking.

The math teacher shook his head, handed out the test paper in a daze, then returned to his podium, said with a smile: "Answer well, don't talk to each other, don't peek, and it's okay if you can't answer." thing.

This is for those older people in the polytechnic college! "

After saying this, the children seemed a lot more relaxed, and they took out the charcoal pencils they had prepared one after another, and began to answer.

The whole school was silent.

Then, gradually, the expressions of the children changed.

Everyone frowned, including the clever Zhao Hao, who sighed and shook his head from time to time.

Anyone can see that this topic... is a bit difficult.

Naturally, when you compete with those scholars, they don't care about your age.

Therefore, no matter what, it is necessary to select the strongest group of people.

The difficulty of this test paper was originally set according to the talents from the Academy of Science and Technology. How could a group of children from the Academy of Arts and Sciences be able to learn it?

but......

In this quiet voice, there was a voice that seemed so crisp.

The sound of brushing and brushing gradually resounded throughout the school.

Everyone, including Mr., couldn't help but look in the direction where the voice came from.

It's Chen Zhaodi!

Everyone couldn't help sighing, and immediately understood what was going on.

The arithmetic man looked at Chen Zhaodi, and he felt hopeful.

The boy is quick at everything, especially arithmetic.

I still remember when I was in class for the first time, no child could figure out addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, but she was the only one who knew it better than anyone else.

Obviously, he has never read the classics of mathematics, but he can calculate extremely fluently.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that her family runs an inn.

But no matter what, this child does have a talent in mathematics that ordinary people don't have.

Mr. Na knew this very well.

In just three or four months, the child finished reading "Basic Arithmetic" in a daze.

Don't look at this arithmetic as basic, but in fact the difficulty is not small.

Even when I was older, I went to the Academy of Science and Technology to study, and I still used this "Basic Arithmetic".

In other words, the only formal arithmetic classics currently produced by Zhuxuanzhai is "Basic Arithmetic".

During this period of time, Mr. Na also read a lot of classics on mathematics that he had never read before, such as "Suanjing" and "Comprehensive Algorithms". These are all classics on mathematics that have been passed down for thousands of years and hundreds of years.

But in his opinion, it is as simple as pediatrics. Compared with "Basic Arithmetic", it is really far behind.

Therefore, one can imagine how powerful this Chen Zhaodi is.

Although this math master had never competed with Chen Zhaodi, in his opinion, if he really competed, he might not be able to win.

It's just exaggerated to such an extent.

The mathematics teacher stared blankly at Chen Zhaodi who was furiously writing, and a wave of hope rose in his heart.

perhaps......

Zhaodi can really get a good grade in the exam, and become one of the five people, representing the new academy to fight against the scholars!
