"What you said is true?" the man asked suspiciously, "I'm Zheng Bai, you can call me Dr. Zheng."

Xiao Xiao nodded: "It's true."

Zheng Bai didn't know whether to believe it or not, but his expression softened a lot, and he put down the pen in his hand as if he wanted to communicate.Xiao Xiao didn't care about his change of face either, she sat at his table and wanted to inquire about the Imperial College, so that she wouldn't know if she made a mistake someday.He first asked Zheng Bai about the various departments of the Imperial College, and then began to ask about mathematics and his daily work.

"The main tasks of teaching assistants, Xuezheng, and Xuelu are to assist doctoral teaching and guide supervisors in self-study." Zheng Bai glanced at Xiao Xiao with some hesitation when he said this, and then continued when he saw no one passing by, "Nowadays Teachers and students have all gone to the promotion ceremony, so I will not hide it from you. In other places in the Imperial College, teaching assistants may be relatively free, and only need to help doctors manage students during class, but we are short-staffed in mathematics, and another Dr. Wang even You’re here on a errand, so you, a teaching assistant, may be busier than other doctors.”

Xiao Xiao nodded, not as surprised or angry as Zheng Bai imagined, but Zheng Baigao took a look.He continued: "Our mathematics is mainly taught in Guangyetang. Every morning and evening, there will be an entrance ceremony, at [-]:[-] in the morning and at [-]:[-] in the evening. The supervisors who participate in the promotion activities must personally place cards to 'turn on the gates'. Doctoral assistants It is necessary to ensure that all supervisors are in place, and no absences are allowed; but daily attendance does not have to be so strict, it is enough to print a black circle behind the name of the supervisor who does not arrive, and a red circle for those who arrive."

"Guozijian's courses are mainly based on Confucianism, including arithmetic, calligraphy, laws and regulations, etiquette, archery, music, etc. Lectures, self-study, and exams are the main teaching methods of the Guozijian. Lectures are classes, four times a month, on the first and fifteenth day of the junior high school. "Four Books" and other books on sexual theory, after the lectures are completed in the first ten days of each month, the teaching assistants, Xuezheng, and Xuelu will each lecture again. After the lectures, there will be re-lectures by the supervisors. Before the re-lectures, the doctor's office will write the topics On the small bamboo sticks, the students will draw, and explain according to the drawn topics, "Those who have triggers to penetrate will be rewarded, and those who fail to understand will be treated as instructions."

While listening carefully, Xiao Xiao planned to find a paper to write down, so that she would not know what to say in class later.He looked at the four big characters of "Four Books" and "Five Classics" written on the paper with some headaches, and when he thought of the classical Chinese essays he had memorized in high school, he felt a wave of despair rising from the bottom of his heart.However, he never expected Zheng Bai to be more desperate than him, and said faintly:

"Just now, those are all the homework of Guozixue and Taixue. We only have one arithmetic, and that is to learn arithmetic!"

The writing brush in Xiao Xiao's hand fell to the table in shock, and a large ink blot was smeared on the white paper.

It turns out that the "six studies and one hall" are only divided according to the titles and official titles of the professors' supervising fathers, the grades of the test students, and the content of each study is similar, but in fact the "six studies and one hall" are all They have their own majors, such as Calligraphy, which is for students who have excellent grades in Ming Shu subjects in the general examination. After entering Calligraphy, they major in Stone Classics, "Shuowen", and "Zi Lin", and also study other books; Jurisprudence refers to the students who have excellent grades in Ming law in the general examination. After entering the jurisprudence, they major in laws and regulations, and also study the format and laws... What are the four books and five classics? I can't stand it, it's a "high-end course" only available to Guozixue and Taixue!

Only then did Xiao Xiao understand that this Guozijian is completely different from the ancient Chinese Guozijian. It is more like a modern university. Students need to pass the "college entrance examination"—that is, only after the general examination can they be eligible to study in the Guozijian instead of Like the Guozijian in ancient China, it recruited those who had good conduct in the township examination and the sons of officials. After entering the Guozijian to study, they had to take the general examination.Among the six halls of the Guozijian, the Zhengyi, Chongzhi, and Guangye halls are for the first grade, with a semester of one and a half years; the two halls of Xiudao and Chengxin are for the second grade, with a semester of one and a half years.After two semesters of study, those who pass the exam can be promoted to the Zhixing Hall, also known as "Shangshe".The students of Shangshe are eligible to be received by the emperor after being selected and awarded official positions.

What is an examination?

Exams are exams.Bai Yuguo mainly adopts the points method for the academic assessment of supervisors. There are 12 exams in one year, and each test score is two for a good score, and one for the average score. , you can upgrade or graduate.When the students in Shangshe get sixteen points in the straightforward hall, the list will be presented to the emperor at this time, and then the palace examination will be held to select the "top three".

This "three tops" is also different from the "three tops" in ancient China.In ancient China, it was divided into "three best" according to the level of achievement: the first class awarded only three "Jinshi and the first", No.1 champion, No.2 second place, No.3 Tanhua; the second best awarded "Jinshi background" several , No. 1 is commonly known as Chuanlu; Sanjia bestows a number of "same Jinshi background", so there are hundreds of people at most, and dozens of people at least.But the "Top Three" in Baiyu Kingdom are really only the top three, the champion, the second place, and Tanhua. These three people are eligible to stay in the royal city to serve as officials. It is the county magistrate.

So what about those who always fail the exams but are unwilling to leave the Imperial College?

Either they have been students in this Imperial College for a lifetime, or they are relying on connections and looking for a back door to get an official position in this Imperial College——

"So what about Dr. Wang?"

"That's right," Zheng Bai said desolately, "He was originally a supervisor of the Taixue, but he failed the examination for three years, so he begged his family to donate him a Ph.D. Dangdang."

"Bai Yuguo puts the most emphasis on classics and righteousness, followed by policy theory, and finally essays and poems. Today, the sages open three subjects to select scholars, namely Mingjing, Mingfa and Mingshu. Those with excellent grades in Mingjing will enter Guozixue And Taixue, Mingfa subjects entered the law school, and Mingshu subjects entered Simenxue and Guangwenguan. The content and method of these three subjects are the same, namely oral examination, post scriptures, Mo Yi, policy theory and poetry Those who have mediocre scores in all subjects but excel in one of the exams will be assigned to our calligraphy and mathematics."

"Calligraphy is not bad. If you practice calligraphy well, you may be able to enter the Imperial Academy to become a bachelor in the future. But our arithmetic has always been regarded as heresy, and it is great to be able to enter the Ministry of Industry and be a principal..."

The more Zheng Bai said, the more wrinkled his face became, the goatee curled up, and he felt sad when he thought of arithmetic.This is not over yet, Zheng Bai seems to have managed to catch someone to talk about his unhappiness, he slapped the table and said sadly:

"That's why we are all unlearned and incompetent supervisors in arithmetic and teachers who ran away after a few days! There are also those who can't be promoted to hang up here, don't attend classes, and let the supervisors study by themselves every day! This arithmetic is a subject that needs to be taught by a teacher to understand, and he is simply a beast and scum for misleading people's future like this!"

Xiao Xiao didn't expect that this elegant-looking man would be so impassioned when he burst out with foul language, he even heard the sound of frightened treetop birds fluttering their wings outside the window.He quickly raised his hand to his chest, and said to Zheng Bai with a firm gaze: "Dr. Zheng, don't worry! I will definitely study hard so that every student can learn something!"

Zheng Bai nodded in relief, and asked Xiao Xiao to return to his place to prepare lessons after a few words.Xiao Xiao looked at the ten books she brought from Shengjian Hall, such as "Zhou Bi Suan Jing", "Nine Chapters of Numeracy", "Sea Island Suan Jing" - the titles of the books that she couldn't read made Xiao Xiao just raise his head. His determination couldn't help but gradually fell back.He couldn't help staring at the title of the book in a daze, and began to imagine in his mind that he would be "shushed" by the students on stage tomorrow, and regretted that he had foolishly come to the Imperial College.

Xiao Xiao originally thought that he was a high-achieving student in modern times, and he might be burned to death for talking about astrophysics, so it is always okay for him to talk about mathematics to students, right?However, he never expected that the Guozijian even strictly stipulated the content of textbooks and daily lectures. He, who may not even understand the textbooks, is simply hopeless.It took 1 minute to build himself up mentally, and Xiao Xiao opened the most familiar "Zhoubi Suanjing", secretly praying that the classical Chinese would not be too difficult——

"In the past, the Duke of Zhou asked Shang Gao and said. I heard that the doctor is good at numbers. May I ask the ancient Bao Xi to set up the calendar of the week. The sky cannot be ascended by steps, and the earth cannot be measured by size. May I ask the number to come from. Shang Gao said ．Numbering method. Out of circle and square. Circle out of square. Square out of moment. Moment out of ninety-nine. One and a half moments. The circle and the disk together. The result is three, four, five..."

"Duke Zhou asked Shang Gao, I heard that you are good at mathematics..." Xiao Xiao bit the bullet and translated in her heart, "May I ask the ancients... Is Bao Xi a personal name... Why can't the sky be a ladder... The earth can't be measured... What is Shuan Congchu... I will go! Let me die!"

Xiao Xiao closed the book with a snap, thinking painfully whether to ask Zheng Bai what it was all about.But what should I do with the good image I just established in people's hearts?And I must suspect that I also came in through the back door, and I can't even read the book.

Xiao Xiao sighed, slowly picked up "Zhoubi Suanjing" and planned to continue reading.As a researcher of astrophysics, Xiao Xiao heard about this astronomy book when he was in college, but he never thought that one day he would use this book to teach students. "Zhou Bi Suan Jing" is still stuck in the "Gai Tian theory"!The sky is a bamboo hat, and the earth is an overturned pot, which really makes Xiao Xiao very sad...
