"Come in!" Kong Yingda frowned. When he was studying, he hated being disturbed the most.
Kong Yingda is not yet the Jijiu (principal) of the Imperial College, but a doctor of eunuch studies of the Imperial College (equivalent to the head of the department).
Sun Shuwei pushed the door open, cupped his hands and said, "I've seen Dr. Kong."
"It's Shuwei, is there something wrong with you coming to me in such a hurry?" Kong Yingda closed the book and asked.
He was a little surprised. Sun Shuwei was his assistant (teacher). He was usually quite steady, but why was he so irritable today?
Sun Shuwei said: "Dr. Kong, yesterday a good friend of mine taught me something called Pinyin. I have tried it. This method is of great help to people who are new to literacy! It can make people recognize characters quickly!"
The families of Sun Shuwei and Chen Wenqin were family friends, but Chen Wenqin's family fell into decline when his father died early, so he could only make ends meet by teaching people how to read.
However, he entered the Imperial College to teach, but this did not affect the relationship between the two.
Yesterday, Chen Wenqin came to Sun Shuwei's house with the pinyin he got from Lin Xuan.
When Sun Shuwei listened to Chen Wenqin's explanation of the usage of Pinyin, he tried to spell a few words using Pinyin, and was immediately astonished.
He was originally a teacher, so he could see how helpful pinyin is to literacy.
So I requested a copy.
Chen Wenqin did not refuse, but still explained to him that this pinyin was invented by Bolinxuan of Jingyang County.
The two of them discussed Pinyin until very late. If Sun Shuwei's wife hadn't sent someone to hurry them up, they wouldn't have known it was already midnight.
Chen Wenqin could only stay at Sun Shuwei's house that night. The next day, Chen Wenqin went to Lin's house to teach.
Sun Shuwei came to the Imperial Academy with the copied pinyin and reported the matter to Kong Yingda.
"Oh? Show it to me!" Kong Yingda became interested.
The current method of teaching people to read has been used for many generations.
Sun Shuwei was originally in charge of teaching and was very proficient in those methods. Under such circumstances, he still praised the method called Pinyin. It seemed that this method should be of some use.
Sun Shuwei took out the copied pinyin and explained the pronunciation and usage of each pinyin.
Kong Yingda understood it quickly and learned it in a short time. He tried using it and exclaimed: "Who created this method?"
"This method was created by the uncle of Jingyang County!" Sun Shuwei said.
Uncle of Jingyang County?
Kong Yingda thought of the young man who wrote the inscription on the humble house at that time. It would not be strange if he invented this method.
"This method is of great use to students all over the world who have just learned how to read. I want to come and ask for advice in person!" Kong Yingda said.
"Dr. Kong, you want to come to ask for advice?" Sun Shuwei was shocked.
Who is Kong Yingda?
He was the thirty-first generation of Confucius, and he was a great Confucian himself, so he was very respected by scholars.
"Why don't I come to ask for advice?" Kong Yingda said calmly.
Confucius, the ancestor of the Confucian family, is revered as a saint, although he has a lot to do with the creation of Confucianism.
But the most important thing is his idea of "education without discrimination".
It has epoch-making significance in the history of educational development. It advocates that regardless of national boundaries, anyone with a desire to learn can enroll in school and receive education, pioneering the popularization of education.
The pinyin invented by Lin Xuan has a great impact on education. As a descendant of Confucius, as long as he can educate all people, what's the harm in him coming to ask for advice?
"This..." Sun Shuwei still felt something was wrong.
"Okay, I'm leaving now, please keep an eye on Taixue's side," Kong Yingda said.
"yes!"
Kong Yingda tidied her clothes, stood up and left the room.
As soon as he left the room, he met a middle-aged man.
"Meet Dr. Kong!"
Kong Yingda saw clearly that the person coming was Li Chunfeng, who was supervising arithmetic at the Imperial College. He smiled and said, "It turns out to be Dr. Li. I have something urgent. Let's talk to you when we have time!"
"Dr. Kong is so anxious, has something happened? Is there anything I can do to help?" Li Chunfeng asked.
"It's okay, I just went to visit Jingyang County Bo." Kong Yingda said with a smile.
Li Chunfeng was stunned and asked to visit the uncle of Jingyang County?
"Dr. Kong, I wonder if I can go with you?" Li Chunfeng asked.
Kong Yingda asked doubtfully: "Is Dr. Li going?"
"I heard that the uncle from Jingyang County is very accomplished in arithmetic, and I have always wanted to meet him." Li Chunfeng said with a smile.
Li Chunfeng was very knowledgeable in arithmetic. When Lin Xuan competed with Wu Xing Qiwang, he showed his extraordinary arithmetic ability.
He later studied that question and he could figure it out, but not as fast as Lin Xuan.
He had always wanted to discuss some mathematical issues with Lin Xuan.
Therefore, I took the liberty to propose that I go with Kong Yingda.
"Then let's go together." Kong Yingda said.
…
Lin Xuan was enjoying Chunyue and Yuhe massage when he heard the servant reported that Kong Yingda had come to visit, and he was stunned at that time.
I was still thinking about how to ask Kong Yingda to help him pick out the characters, but unexpectedly they came.
Lin Xuan came to his senses, stood up quickly, tidied his clothes, and went to greet him.
When he came to the door, he saw Kong Yingda standing at the door with a very elegant-looking middle-aged man.
"Lin Xuan has met Mr. Kong!" Lin Xuan saluted respectfully.
There was no reason why he was disrespectful, because of his relationship with Confucius and the special and important position that Confucius represented in the feudal dynasty, rulers of all dynasties and generations treated the Confucius family very favorably.
No matter how talented the Kong family is, they will be given official positions and titles.
Historically, it was because Cao Cao killed Kong Rong, a descendant of Confucius, that the people turned against him, and hundreds of thousands of troops went south and returned in disastrous defeat.
Of course, Cao Cao's failure had a lot to do with the Sun-Liu alliance, but it is undeniable that Kong Rong's death also played a big role.
This shows the position of the Confucius family in the hearts of people all over the world.
Kong Yingda smiled slightly and said: "I have taken the liberty to interrupt you. I would like to introduce you to you. This is Li Chunfeng, a doctor of the Imperial College of Economics."
When Kong Yingda was talking to Lin Xuan, Li Chunfeng kept looking at Lin Xuan in surprise.
Li Chunfeng?
This is a legendary figure.
Li Chunfeng was very accomplished in arithmetic and wrote ten sets of arithmetic scriptures.
But he is most famous for creating the legendary "Tui Bei Tu" with Yuan Tiangang.
"Tui Bei Tu" calculates the historical trend of the Tang Dynasty and after the Tang Dynasty. It can be said to be a wonderful book.
Lin Xuan took a closer look at Li Chunfeng and found that he was looking at him in surprise. He was panicking. Could he have realized that he had traveled through time?
"Lin Xuan, I have met Dr. Li!" Lin Xuan said calmly.
"I took the liberty of disturbing you, and I hope the Marquis of Jingyang County will forgive me!" Li Chunfeng said with a smile.
"I just saw Dr. Li staring at me. I wonder why?" Lin Xuan asked.
He was very nervous, but if he didn't know whether Li Chunfeng was as magical as the legend said, he would definitely not feel at ease.
Li Chunfeng smiled and said: "I know a little about fortune telling. I just saw that the Marquis has a strange face, so I took a few more glances. I hope that the Marquis will forgive me!"
Lin Xuan was shocked and asked quietly: "I wonder what's so strange about my face?"
"This..." Li Chunfeng was a little embarrassed.
Lin Xuan said: "Dr. Li, just say it directly."
"At first glance, Lord Marquis, you only see wealth and no nobility, but upon closer inspection, you can see that he has both wealth and nobility. Logically speaking, a person's appearance should not change." Li Chunfeng said doubtfully.
Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. What Li Chunfeng said was only about being rich but not noble. He should be talking about before he traveled through time.
But after he traveled through time, he naturally became rich and wealthy.
But Li Chunfeng could see that his appearance was different from before, so Yuan Tiangang, who is said to be more powerful than Li Chunfeng, could he tell that he was not from this world?
Thinking of this, Lin Xuan's heart tightened, wondering if he should find a way to kill Yuan Tiangang.
Time travel is his biggest secret and must never be exposed.
Lin Xuan was worried that Li Chunfeng would notice something unusual, so he put away his thoughts and said with a smile: "You two, please come in quickly!"
Lin Xuan took the two of them to the Lin family hall and asked the maid to bring tea.
"I wonder why Mr. Kong and Dr. Li came here this time?" Lin Xuan asked.
Kong Yingda asked: "I heard that the Marquis of Jingyang County created Pinyin, and I would like to ask the Marquis of Jingyang County for advice."
"Don't hesitate to ask for advice. If Mr. Kong has any doubts, Lin Xuan will definitely tell him!"
Lin Xuan didn't know how Kong Yingda knew the pinyin, but after thinking about it for a moment, he knew it was Chen Wenqin.
If he had known that pinyin could attract Li Chunfeng, he would not have done it.
But it's too late to regret now.
Li Chunfeng cupped his hands and said, "I want to discuss arithmetic with Mr. Hou."
"I wonder if Dr. Li knows a person named Yuan Tiangang?" Lin Xuan asked.
