Heavenly Dao Formula

Chapter 240 Jinxia's First Lesson

The day the school started finally arrived.

The first day of class was held in the open space in front of the lobby of the Privy Council Headquarters.

A hundred or so low tables are lined up one by one, with straw mats placed under the tables, and the children who come to class sit on the floor. Under the warm sun in the morning, they don't feel too cold.

Beside these low tables, there are also an equal number of chairs, which are the seats reserved for the spectators. Participating in the observation included local people and scholars who came from other places after hearing the news, but the most were the family members of the class attendees.

Openly recruiting all school-age children and waiving tuition fees was unheard of in the past hundreds of years. Coupled with the news that masters from all over the world boycotted the Bureau's practice, everyone's curiosity about the school reached a peak. Compared with the children who signed up, there were more people who applied to sit in. Not even one of the hundreds of chairs was vacant.

At the same time, Zhou Dacai also chose a teahouse closest to the secretariat as his counterattack location. In order to increase the momentum, he booked the entire third floor, and invited many poor scholars who would not pay attention to it at all, to add a torch to this act of righteousness.

Of course, another aspect is also out of self-safety considerations.

Scholars will not be punished for their words. This is a law set by Daqi at the beginning of the founding of the country, but the Prime Minister of the Privy Council does not play cards according to common sense. What if he becomes angry after being exposed and wants to find someone to vent his anger? Obviously, it is the safest way to recruit more people to share the risk. Zhou Sheng did not forget the essence of the Privy Council - alchemists are executioners who have been granted privileges, their abilities can be used to deal with evil spirits, and naturally they can also be used to kill people.

He didn't want to be remembered by a high-level alchemist all the time.

"Brother Zhou, it seems that the school has started teaching." Someone leaned on the railing and watched.

The best thing about this teahouse is that you can use the height of the three-story building to cross the wall of the Privy Council Mansion and see a corner of the mansion. Although separated by more than half a street, but with the observation mirror of the West Pole, they can barely see the movement of people on the open ground.

"Everyone must be ready, right?" Zhou Sheng looked at the crowd and said.

"Don't worry, everyone can't wait." The invitees are gearing up one after another. Scholars not only value fame, but fame is also very important. If I could add an experience of defeating the Prime Minister of the Privy Council in my biography, it would be a good face to say it, and it might become a great achievement when I was an official in the future.

After all, anyone who knows a little bit about current affairs knows that the conflict between the six ministries of the imperial court and the Privy Council is not something that happens every day.

"Hey, look at the roof of the lobby..." Mr. Hu suddenly yelled, "There seems to be a woman standing there, she looks so beautiful!"

"Where is there?" Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but become agitated, even more interested than Wendou.

Zhou Sheng also subconsciously aimed the lookout at the top of the command hall.

The other party was actually right.

In the blurred vision, I saw a beautiful woman standing on the ridge of the roof, a snow-white robe fluttering in the wind, like a fairy who is not close to the fireworks of the world. Even if you can't see the whole picture clearly, this temperament alone is enough to make people feel that she is outstanding.

Zhou Sheng felt jealous.

This person will be standing on the top floor of the Privy Mansion, and she is probably also a member of the alchemists. In other words, she is either Xia Fan's subordinate, or the guardian of the Privy Council Mansion. Either way, she has a close relationship with Xia Fan.

And that Princess Guangping who is petite but not inferior in facial features...

Xia Fan why?

And Ruyan Liu...

This woman had an affair with Fu Cheng was a rumor he intended to spread, but in fact he already had a similar guess in his heart. No matter how absurd the actions of the Jinxia Affairs Bureau—or the Privy Council behind it—is an organization that can be put on the table, it is not a place where lowly brothel girls can get in. If it wasn't for Liu Ruyan's special relationship, how could the school lift her to such a high position?

Thinking of this, the boredom in his heart became even worse, "Okay, it's better for everyone to focus on the business."

"Liu Ruyan has come out!" Mr. Hu was the first to spot the target again.

The students holding the binoculars immediately adjusted their vision, "Is that the bitch who betrayed Brother Zhou?"

"Why are there several people behind her?"

"Wait, what's in the cart?"

Everyone quickly discovered the strangeness. The child sitting on the straw mat stood up and was guided to the cart, and then got plates, bowls and chopsticks from it.

"Are they... going to eat?" Someone asked in surprise.

As it turns out, that's true. I saw the children passing the cart one by one, receiving their own food, and then returning to their seats to bury their heads in eating.

what is this……

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, wanting to say something, but they didn't know where to start.

It is only natural to eat when you are hungry, but shouldn't this be done before coming to school?

Reading the books of sages is a solemn thing. Bathing and burning incense before class starts is an ancient method. It is understandable if they can’t do it now. No one will blame them for not following the rules, but isn’t it too maverick to eat breakfast directly in school? point?

"Glamorous!" Finally Mr. Chen concluded.

Fortunately, this accidental episode only took about two quarters of an hour, and they finally got what they wanted to see - Liu Ruyan stood in front of the children and opened the book, and began to teach the first enlightenment lesson in the school.

At this distance, it is impossible to see exactly what she taught. Everyone is waiting for the students in the audience to bring them first-hand information.

At about a quarter of an hour, there was a brief pause in the square.

The scholars in the teahouse also waited for the classroom record sent back from the front.

But when Zhou Sheng spread out the messenger, the onlookers couldn't help being dumbfounded—what are these weird symbols talking about?

The letter was written in Zhuyin, but no one present had ever seen a Zhuyin like this!

Could it be that Liu Ruyan's attainments are so high that she can independently invent a new set of phonetic rules? Looking at this point throughout history, only a very small number of great Confucians can do it.

"Don't worry about it!" Zhou Sheng said in a deep voice, "Whether the phonetic notation works well or not has to pass the test of time. She can't just teach pronunciation without teaching poetry and chapter theory. We just need to continue to wait for the opportunity."

But the facts did not develop as he expected. After a quarter of an hour, it was no longer Liu Ruyan who re-entered the podium, but another woman.

She claimed to be the chief engineering consultant to Her Royal Highness, the person in charge of the New Machine Building Bureau, Mo Yun.

Although I don't understand the specific meaning of these titles, this person's status is obviously extraordinary, and what she is responsible for teaching is arithmetic.

This time, the content of the letter sent to the teahouse was much shorter.

Probably the transcriber himself was also shocked by what Mo Yun said, and on the second page he simply summed it up in one sentence: "This method seems to be quite different from the current calculation method, but the more I listen to it, the more I feel it is more Reasonable and complete. It’s just that there are still many things I don’t understand, so I won’t go into details, so as not to make you laugh and mislead everyone.”

Zhou Sheng suddenly had a bad feeling.

At noon, there was a second meal in the school.

Although there were a lot of snacks and pastries in the teahouse, the atmosphere in the air was obviously a bit depressing—everyone had held back a stomach full of ink, and planned to rely on their wit and writing to identify Liu Ruyan, who represented the bureau, and become famous in one go, but Now that the ink has been rubbed dry several times, there is not a word written on the white paper in front of them.

Finally ushered in the afternoon class, the third person on stage exceeded everyone's expectations.

The other party is none other than the Prime Minister of the Privy Council, the founder of the Bureau, Xia Fan.

The course he teaches is called Gewu.

After the gastroscopy, it was found that it was a bacterial infection of gastritis, but fortunately it was not the worst case T.T

Everyone must pay attention to the body
