The emperor smiled inexplicably, but didn't say anything, which made Xiao Xiao's heart ache all of a sudden.Is it different from what Liu Ziming said?Xiao Xiao unconsciously looked at His Highness the Crown Prince at the side.

"The prince really knows how to get a disciple like Mr. Xiao," the emperor pondered, "but I feel that such a small disciple is too inferior. Why don't you go to the Imperial College and cultivate more talents like Mr. Xiao for the Baiyu Kingdom? how?"

Xiao Xiao frowned almost immediately, and Liu Ziming at the side also knelt down, hoping that the emperor could take back what he just said.But the emperor made up his mind, even though it was a suggestion, he said in an unquestionable tone, and before Xiao Xiao could refuse, he ordered Xiao Xiao to report to the Imperial College on a certain day.

Guozijian is a place to cultivate the pillars of the country. Almost every outstanding talent in each city will be recommended to study here after passing the provincial examination.Xiao Xiao is only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy at this time, how can he teach students who are as old as him, maybe even older than him?The emperor's order seems to be reused, but it is actually testing whether Xiao Xiao is really Mr. Xiao who is famous in Ancheng.If Xiao Xiao can persist in a place like Guozijian where the elites from all over the world gather, then at most he can only become the Jijiu of Guozijian, that is, a third-rank official, not a big man in this royal city; but if not, then It is the crime of deceiving the emperor, and even Liu Ziming has no way to save him.

Knowing Xiao Xiao's identity as a stranger and wanting to eradicate him as an unstable factor?Or was it just because of the rumors that Liu Ziming had a relationship with him?No one except the emperor knows, all Xiao Xiao can do is accept the imperial decree and shout "Long live the emperor".

Liu Kaize stayed in the palace to chat with the emperor about the past, while Xiao Xiao went to the dessert house to find Cong Xue and told her that he was going to the Imperial College to be a teaching assistant.The positions of Guozijian include one priest, who is from the third rank, and two Siye, who are from the fourth rank.There are Guozi, Taixue, Guangwen, Simen, Lu, Shu, and Suan, and each place has doctors and teaching assistants.Xiao Xiao is going to be a teaching assistant in mathematics.

The six schools and one hall of the Guozijian are sorted by grade, which means that mathematics is the lowest level of the Guozijian.There are five doctors in Guozixue, the official rank is five, the person who is in charge of teaching at the third rank or above, the grandson of the prince of the country, and the great-grandson of the second rank or above; there are also five teaching assistants, from the sixth rank, who is in charge of the doctor and the professor of classics ; There are also four direct lecturers, Dr. Zhang Zuo and teaching assistants, who teach classics.In the end, there were even two doctors of the Five Classics, who were at the top of the fifth rank, and taught the sons of the country with their knowledge of the Classics. "Book of Changes", "Shangshu", "Mao Shi", "Zuoshi Chunqiu", and "Book of Rites" are the five classics, while "The Analects", "Book of Filial Piety", and "Erya" do not set up academic officials, but attach middle school classics.

And what about Taixue?

There are six doctors, who are on the sixth rank; six teaching assistants, who are on the seventh rank.They are in charge of those who are above the fifth rank and the sons and grandsons of prefectures and counties, and those who live from the great-grandchildren of the third rank. Five of their scriptures are regarded as careers, and each scripture is a hundred people.There are 70 students, four students of classics, six students of Zhang Gu, and 15 students of Dongdu.

Guangwen Museum has four doctors and two teaching assistants.The person who is in charge of the Imperial Scholars.There are 60 students and ten from Dongdu.The four-door hall has six doctors, who are at the seventh rank; six teaching assistants, who are at the eighth rank; and four direct lecturers.Those who are in charge of teaching at the seventh rank or above, Hou Bozi's men make a living, and common people's sons are the sons of handsome scholars.There are 300 students, four students of classics, six students of Zhang Gu, and 50 students of Dongdu.

There are three doctors in law, from the eighth rank; one teaching assistant, from the ninth rank.Those who are in charge of teaching below the eighth grade and the sons of common people make a living.Laws and decrees are Zhuanye, and he also learns format laws and regulations.

In the Sui Dynasty, Luxue was attached to Dali Temple, and there were eight doctors.Calligraphy is two doctors, from the ninth grade, and one teaching assistant.Those who are in charge of teaching below the eighth grade and the sons of common people make a living.The Book of Stones, "Shuowen" and "Zi Lin" are Zhuan Ye, and he also studied other books.

Xiao Xiao is going to have two Ph.Ds in mathematics, from the ninth rank, and one teaching assistant.Those who are in charge of teaching below the eighth grade and the sons of common people make a living.

Xiao Xiao really can't be blamed for his reluctance, it's obvious that the emperor didn't call him "Mr. Xiao" sincerely at all, and he was sent to the Imperial College because he really wanted to test him.Otherwise, even being a Ph.D. in the Five Classics in Guozixue of the Imperial College would be higher than a Ph.D. in mathematics, not to mention that the emperor just asked Xiao Xiao to be a teaching assistant?A Ph.D. in mathematics is already the lowest level, down from rank nine. What is a teaching assistant?Not even an official rank!

Xiao Xiao was full of complaints and could not speak, and told Cong Xue with a bitter face that she might rarely come to the dessert house in the future, and hoped that she could help her look after the shop, then sat in the shop with a sad face and ate the latest cake.Maybe it's because life finally has some motivation. After Cong Xue comforted Xiao Xiao with at least 20 taels of gold, she patted her chest and excitedly assured Xiao Xiao that she would never disappoint his expectations, and also returned the account book. Take it out to Xiao Xiao to see the sales situation in the past half a month, and have rich associations with her ideal of becoming the first rich woman in Baiyu Country.After all, Xiao Xiao was defeated by this "female version of Zhao Ming", and she also wondered what kind of physique she was, so that she could turn one after another of people who are ascetic and indifferent to fame and fortune into money-seekers. The master who didn't come took out a pen and paper and first set a small goal of "[-] million" for Cong Xue, and then set an ultimate goal of "flowering everywhere in the country".Cong Xue happily took this piece of paper and pasted it on the counter, saying that she would look at this piece of paper when she was tired in the future, she must create greater value in her limited life.

Xiao Xiao listened to Cong Xue encouraging herself with the words she taught her, and left dumbfounded.A few days later, when it was time to report to the Imperial College, Xiao Xiao took the prepared teaching materials and got into the carriage.

The carriage was not allowed to enter near the gate of Guozijian. Xiao Xiao got out of the carriage and looked up to see the three characters of "Jixianmen" and the glazed tiles of the Zhumen. At first glance, it was a traditional Chinese building.The Guozijian students wearing gray gowns walked by on both sides. Xiao Xiao, who was dressed in ordinary clothes, attracted the attention of many passing supervisors, so he had to walk quickly to the door without looking sideways.

After entering Jixian Gate, the second road is Taixue Gate, which has Liuli Archway, Biyong Hall and Yilun Hall.The glazed archway is the only one specially set up for education, and it is also the only glazed archway in Baiyu Kingdom that does not belong to a temple.On the front of it is the book "Wuqiao Jiaoze", and on the back is "Xuehai Festival View", with colorful paintings, it is the place where Guozijian students do morning classes every day.

Piyong was the place where the emperor gave lectures.From the first emperor of Baiyu Kingdom, once he ascended the throne, he must give lectures here at least once a year.Piyong was built according to the system of the Zheng Dynasty. It sits north to south, with a square plane, five feet and three feet in depth and three feet in width. Surrounded by cloisters and pools, the pool is surrounded by carved white marble railings, and there is a stone bridge on the pool, leading to the four gates of Piyong, which constitutes the old system of "Piyong Panshui" in the past.There are 7 main rooms in the north of it, named Yilun Hall, where books are collected, and 33 side rooms on each side, where lectures are held. They are collectively referred to as six halls: the east is the straightforward hall, the sincere hall, and the Chongzhi hall. , West is Xiudao Hall, Justice Hall, and Guangye Hall.

After passing through the Taixue Gate, Xiao Xiao came to the Jingyi Pavilion, which is the place where the highest instructor of the Guozijian Jijiu works.When Xiao Xiao went in, he saw an old man with a white beard in moon white was writing something at his desk. After saluting, he handed over the emperor's letter of appointment to Jijiu, and then listened to the arrangement of Jijiu.Jijiu didn't say much, took out a piece of paper and wrote something, then stamped it and handed it to Xiao Xiao, asking him to take it to the Shengjian Hall.

The Shengjian Hall is the place where the supervisors who are in charge of promulgating study regulations, inspecting diligence, distributing grannies, reviewing expenses, assisting in offering wine and handling supervisory affairs work.After Xiao Xiao went to get the teaching assistant's clothes and school rules and motto, she was taken to the doctor's hall by a supervisor, and met her future colleagues.Now it's time for class, and there are not many people who study arithmetic. When Xiao Xiao came, there was only one sitting in the seat. When he came in, he looked up expressionlessly, and didn't even say hello.

"Okay, this table will be yours from now on," Jian Cheng smiled and cupped his hands at Xiao Xiao, "Tomorrow is Assistant Professor Xiao's first class, so you have to prepare well today."

"It should be." Xiao Xiao sent Jian Cheng away, while arranging things, she secretly glanced at the only person, wondering if she should go to say hello.After thinking for a while, Xiao Xiao stepped forward, bowed to the doctor, and said respectfully: "I don't know what the doctor's name is? I'm the new teaching assistant, Xiao Xiao."

The doctor gave Xiao Xiao a sideways look, snorted through his nose, and refused to even answer.Xiao Xiao frowned and repeated: "I'm Xiao Xiao, a new teaching assistant. I don't know what to call this doctor?"

"Why come here to get close? Anyway, I'm only staying for a few days before leaving!" the doctor said disdainfully.

Xiao Xiao asked puzzledly: "What do you mean leaving after a few days?"

"Don't all of you use arithmetic as a stepping stone?" the man said angrily, "You left within half a year, either to the Imperial Academy or to the Guangwen Museum, and none of them stayed!"

No wonder this man is so hostile!Xiao Xiao suddenly realized, but he didn't want to make his career unhappy in the future, so he shook his head and said: "Although I am only a teaching assistant, the doctor can rest assured that I will never abandon students. And what the doctor said should be those who have Someone from the background, right? I, Xiao Xiao, am just a plain-headed commoner from Xiao’s Village in Ancheng. Being able to be a teaching assistant is already favored by the emperor, and I’m afraid it will be difficult to go any further.”
