Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World

Mr. Huang's complexion is not good, but he recorded the results and turned over the test papers. Although he is not good at math, he can tell right from wrong by reading the solutions, so there is no objection.

Arithmetic is different from other subjects, right is right, wrong is wrong, there will be no disputes.

Twelve teachers stood on it, the boys couldn't believe it and had to believe it, and the girls cheered after being stunned for a moment.

The classmates surrounded outside even crowded in front of the three girls and surrounded them to congratulate them.

Cui Tong, Wu Yu, and Zhong Lian also didn't expect them to achieve such a result, and it took a long time before they came back to their senses.

The three hurriedly squeezed away their classmates and saluted Li Baolu respectfully, "Thank you Mr. Li for your teaching in the past. The students will not slack off in the future, and make persistent efforts to make further progress."

Li Baolu nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "You have done a good job, I hope you will not be complacent and study harder."

Li Baolu paused and said: "The study of arithmetic is extensive and profound, and there are still many things to learn, and even if we have already learned the existing arithmetic, we should study more advanced things."

"Most of the existing calculation scriptures are preserved by the research of the ancient sages. After the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the progress of mathematics is slow, no matter how difficult it is." Li Baolu said these words not only to the three girls in front of him, but also to all the students present, "The ancestors gave We have left treasures behind, and instead of digging out more treasures along the path of our predecessors, we have left the treasures left by our ancestors covered in dust. How sad and painful our ancestors should be, and whether we can really understand the truth in our hearts? No shame?"

Everyone was silent.

There was silence in the venue.

"I know, most of you look down on arithmetic and think it is not very useful. After all, there are many examinations in the imperial examination, and you think that you only need to know how to add and subtract multiples." Li Baolu scanned the audience and said: "For ordinary people, these Arithmetic is naturally enough, but do you want to be an ordinary citizen in the future?"

"Officials of the Ministry of Households have to survey the acres of land, calculate taxes, and estimate income and expenditure. In case of natural disasters and man-made disasters, they have to allocate money and food, and in times of war, they have to allocate grain and grass. How can we do it optimally? Officials from the Ministry of Industry need to build water conservancy projects. Bridges, even house construction, and palace design, which item does not require mathematics? Besides, the Ministry of Officials, the arrangement of high-quality manpower, and the determination of responsibilities also use the knowledge of arithmetic, let alone the Ministry of Criminal Justice, which requires the most complicated knowledge to judge cases, and Arithmetic is also a very important item." Li Baolu raised her head slightly, looked at the male gentlemen who were behind, and said in a deep voice: "The "Analects" you have studied is teaching you to be a human being, and the "University" you have studied is to teach you how to behave. ""The Doctrine of the Mean" is teaching you to be an official. It can be said that the Chinese studies course is the foundation for you to be an official. However, the things to be done on top of the foundation need to be added with other knowledge. Such as arithmetic, agriculture, law, etc."

"It's not surprising to me that the girls' school won the first place in the arithmetic competition this time. Even if they can't surpass you this time, they will always be above you one time. Your attitude towards learning is different." Li Baolu said: " The students in your men’s college only regard arithmetic as a vassal, and they only read the books of sages. Not only arithmetic, but how many other subjects are worth learning in your mind besides Chinese studies? But our women’s college is different,”

Li Baolu raised her chin proudly and said: "They will work hard to learn whatever they love in their hearts. And their hearts are fresh, and there are many things they love. What about you, what do you love? Also, for How much do you love the Chinese studies that you have tried your best to learn?"

"Mr. Li!" Mr. Huang yelled in disapproval, and gave her a displeased look.

Li Baolu pursed her lips and said, "Okay, this arithmetic competition is over. Come forward and get your test papers and leave. Let's take a look at where you made mistakes. First, do your own research. If you don't understand, then you can go back and leave." Discuss with your classmates, and ask your teacher if you don’t understand.”

The girls all breathed a sigh of relief, they felt that the atmosphere at the scene was so oppressive that they could hardly breathe.

Zhong Lian stepped forward to take her paper, winked at her and said: "Mr. Li, their boys can be used by the emperors by learning arithmetic, and make great achievements. What can us girls do?"

Li Baolu smiled and said, "There are so many things we can do."

She bowed her head and thought for a while, "It's too big to survey the land and calculate taxes, and you have to be an official in the court, so I won't talk about it. But if you are good at calculation, if you can improve a waterwheel, little Those who can benefit their own fields and farming, the big ones can benefit the country and the people, maybe they can still be famous in history.”

Zhong Lian blushed, and whispered, "How does sir know that I am tossing the waterwheel?"

Li Baolu only smiled slightly.

Zhong Lian's mother, Princess Jingyi, is good friends with Qin Wenyin. When she came to play with Qin Wenyin these days, she often complained that Zhong Lian fell in love with carpentry. It was changed to a waterwheel again, and the good embroidery room was turned into a carpentry room, with sawdust and blocks everywhere.

Li Baolu listened to a sentence or two occasionally and wrote it down.

Zheng Xu, dressed in casual clothes, leaned over to look at the test paper Shi Weigang borrowed. After a while, he raised his head in a daze and said, "The arithmetic questions from your academy are too difficult."

Shi Wei put away the test papers, and asked with his hands behind his back: "It's not bad, isn't it that the imperial examinations will increase the proportion of mathematics, and our academy is also planning for a rainy day. It's more difficult now, and it's better than finding out that it's difficult when you go to the examination room. "

Zheng Xu curled his lips, "I remember your arithmetic is not very good, if you do this test paper, how many questions can you answer?"

"Small idea, it's just a few math problems..."

Zhao Ning couldn't help laughing out loud, bent his elbow and said, "Okay, brother Zheng is not an outsider, why do you need to hide it from him?"

Shi Wei changed the subject and said, "I can make 30% or 40% of it."

Zheng Xu burst out laughing, "You are not better than me."

Shi Wei snorted and said, "It's not better than you, but I have a good teacher and helpful friend. As long as I work hard for a few days, I can surpass you. As for you, I remember that your academy does not have a master who is good at mathematics."

Shi Wei rolled his eyes and said, "By the way, isn't there a competition in your academy today, why don't you stay in your academy and come to us?"

Zheng Xu wondered if he would like to come, or if his sister transferred here, she has a lot of competitions today, and last night she specially asked him to come here today to cheer her up,

If he dared not come, he might not even be able to enter the gate at night.

Seeing his expression, Shi Wei made a rough guess, and said with a smile: "Your sister has transferred to our Qingxi Academy, do you want to come too? In fact, our academy is still very good, and we will have three classes in one class. If you have time, you can go to the Gu mansion with Brother Zhao and ask Mr. Gu for advice. Let me tell you, what does it mean to listen to Mr. Gu's words is better than ten years of reading..."

Zheng Xu ignored him, turned to Zhao Ning and said, "Brother Zhao, is your teacher's mother really that good at arithmetic?"

Zhao Ning thought for a while and then said: "My teacher was admitted to the academy to teach with the first grades in mathematics and history, and she can answer all the mathematics questions I ask. Do you think her mathematics is good? That's right. My teacher said that he might be a little deficient in arithmetic."

Zheng Xu touched his chin and said, "How about I let my sister transfer to your teacher's wife's class?"

"Don't think about it," Shi Wei said: "You think that Qingxi Academy is opened by your family. Mr. Li's Yongmei class has already had two more students, and it is impossible to accept another one."

Zheng Xu was disappointed in his heart, but he also knew that this would be the result, so he could only turn his head and look at Li Baolu reluctantly, "Brother Zhao, I will often go to play with you in the future if nothing happens."

Zhao Ning frowned, "If you want to ask a question, you should also ask my teacher, why are you staring at my wife?"

Zheng Xu said dejectedly: "I don't understand what your teacher said. I think your teacher's wife is a woman, so she must be more careful. Maybe I can understand it? Next year is the year of the provincial examination, and there are still one year and three months left. .”

Zhao Ning looked at him sympathetically, "I think the problem-solving method explained by the teacher is clear enough."

Shi Wei laughed loudly and said: "Brother Zhao, you don't understand, there is a string missing in his mind. If he can solve two questions in the test paper just now, I will take his surname."

Zheng Xu turned to stare at him.

Now even Zhao Ning couldn't help laughing out loud, thought for a while and said: "It's getting late, my teacher's wife will only invigilate the exam this afternoon, we will pick up my teacher when we wait for her Go back, if you have any questions you don't understand, you can ask them on the way."

Zheng Xu breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and bowed to Zhao Ning to the end, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Brother Zhao."

His arithmetic is really bad, because there is at most one arithmetic question in the provincial and general examinations over the years, and sometimes there is none, so he doesn't care at all, as long as he learns "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", how can he learn other arithmetic?

So when the new policy came out, Zheng Xu was dumbfounded.

The most important thing is that even if the arithmetic problems in the past came from the first half of "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", even though he has studied "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", he only really mastered the first half.

No, it's not mastery, because his father found many problems, which are said to be derived from the first half of "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", and he can do very few of those problems.

So difficult, how could it be the knowledge of the first half? What should I do if I feel like I haven’t learned anything?

Although Shi Wei made fun of Zheng Xu in various ways, when Li Baolu arrived, he immediately corrected his attitude and helped Zheng Xu curry favor with Li Baolu.

Li Baolu was stunned by their good words, and then said happily: "Why are your mouths so sweet today? Tell me, what can I do for you?"

"Master, you have misunderstood us. Are we the kind of people who are courteous only when we have something to do?" Shi Wei squeezed Zhao Ning away and walked to her side, and said with a flattering smile: "What we just said is the truth, did you just tell the truth?" Imposing, you said how can there be such a strange woman like you in this world, not only is she good-looking, well-educated, but also has such a strong aura, whoever marries you has practiced great virtue in the previous life, so lucky."

Zheng Xu kept giving Shi Wei winks, seeing that he was completely obsequious and couldn't see his winks, and immediately sighed in his heart.

A chuckle sounded, "I did cultivate great virtue in my previous life, and I was very blessed. Thank you Shi Wei for your praise."

Shi Wei's body froze, and he turned his head with a frozen smile, only to realize that Gu Jingyun was standing behind him at some point, and Zhao Ning had stood aside with lowered eyebrows and eyes, very obedient.

Shi Wei raised his hand stiffly to salute Gu Jingyun, and whispered, "Mr. Gu, can you pretend you didn't hear anything just now?"

"Hahaha..." Li Baolu couldn't help bursting out laughing.
