In the blink of an eye, another three months have passed.
Xie Xin did not complete the main task immediately, but concentrated on teaching the students.
While constantly consolidating the scriptures previously taught, five courses were introduced: mathematics, archery, horseback riding, calligraphy, and ideological and moral character. After arranging the course schedule, he patiently taught the students.
Due to the increase in courses, the time between classes has been compressed to fifteen minutes. However, for students, it does not matter if they can learn more and have less rest time.
Just looking at the students who were able to have some fun before, but now can only take a short break before starting class, Xie Xin couldn't help but think of what he was like when he was in school.
"Is this considered lucky? Or is it unfortunate?" Xie Xin couldn't help but ask himself.
After three months of study, the students have basically learned the addition and subtraction of mathematics, and have begun to learn the multiplication formula.
Arabic numerals were used in letters of thanks and were officially accepted by students.
It's just that these numbers are no longer called Arabic numerals, and are officially renamed Xie's numerals.
After all, genuine Arabic numerals were invented around the 3rd century AD, but now it is only 169 AD, which is still more than 100 years before it was created.
Since the emergence of Xie's numbers, Li Feng, Lou Gui, Mao Jie and other older students who had already had cultural background before entering school were naturally very happy. They thought that with these numbers, it would be easier to calculate numbers in the future.
Much more.
As Xie Xin also pirated the abacus and gave them a brief lesson, these guys who originally could only read scriptures with their hands in hand now began to take out "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" and calculate some of the knowledge in it.
, and also enjoy it.
Gongsun Dugengjue wrote a letter about the abacus and Arabic numerals, along with an abacus, and asked someone to send it to Gongsun Sheng in Liaodong.
The result was that one month later, everyone in the world knew about the letter of thanks from the Huaxia Private School. Following the Enlightenment Trilogy, a new numerical symbol was created, and a convenient calculation tool was also invented.
For a time, abacus replaced abacus and became the mainstream calculation tool.
For this reason, Xie Xin gained another three hundred reputations.
I completed a side mission in the academy and got a lottery opportunity, some experience, spiritual stones and so on.
It’s just the lottery rewards obtained in the branch line, and the items in them seem to be inferior to those in the main line lottery.
For example, if we talk about the main plot of the lottery, even high-level martial arts are included; the side plot of the lottery is, at best, just relatively powerful secular martial arts.
So after some selection, Xie Xin got a copy of "Kong Ming Fist". On the roulette wheel, this set of boxing techniques can be regarded as the top prize. The best one is only the first half of "Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon"
department.
Xie Xin benefited, but Gongsun Du was not so lucky.
Not only was Gongsun Sheng severely criticized in the letter, but he also made it clear that there would be more severe punishment waiting for him when he returned!
At the same time, Gongsun Sheng sent Xie Xin a large amount of apology gifts.
I don’t know if Gongsun Du leaked the secret, but Gongsun Sheng specially selected some real exotic flowers and herbs and sent them over. Unlike Yuan Shu, who was ignorant, there were really some good things this time.
Three of them are the raw materials of the Rejuvenation Pill, two are the raw materials of the Body Tempering Pill, and one is the raw material of the Foundation Establishment Pill.
According to Xie Xin's estimation, if he wanted to purchase these exotic flowers and plants, he would need at least several hundred gold yuan. Xie Xin was naturally very moved that Gongsun Sheng was willing to spend such a large amount of money on himself.
Okay, enough nonsense, let’s get back to the topic.
In addition to mathematics, Xie Xin also sorted out knowledge about ideology and moral character and taught it to students based on the Analects of Confucius.
In this course, Xie Xin teaches students the basic etiquette and rules of society, so that they can understand more or less what is good and evil, right and wrong, and what are the basic etiquette in daily communication.
Those who have learned are doing well, and those who have not learned have been taught by Xie Xin and are much more polite when meeting each other, and there is less noise when eating.
It's just that Xie Xin feels that the innocence and liveliness of the children will be slowly wiped out.
After thinking about morality, Xie Xin also taught the students horse riding, archery and calligraphy.
In Confucianism, a gentleman has six arts, including charioteering, calligraphy, and archery. Yu originally referred to driving, but now chariots have been eliminated, so it is replaced by horseback riding.
For archery, Xie Xin chose the martial arts training ground in Huangjiacun.
Everyone in the villagers here is good at shooting, so Xie Xin spent money to hire an old hunter to guide the students.
And riding a horse is not a big problem.
Huang Zhong suppressed bandits before and obtained 5,000 horses. Later, with the approval of the Qin governor, Huang Zhong developed a horse farm near Huangjia Village and raised 2,000 horses.
As for where the other three thousand horses went?
It's a secret!
Anyway, there are only 2,000 horses in the trophy register...
No matter how helpless Huang Zhong was, he had to admit that his status in the Han bureaucracy was relatively low.
There are many things for which it is not his turn to make decisions.
But thanks to this, Xie Xin bought fifty horses for only 70% of the original value.
After getting rid of Huang Zhong's relationship and paying the storage fee, he was put into a horse farm and raised together.
This was a helpless move. After all, the animal pen in the outer courtyard and inner hall did not have enough space to keep more than fifty horses. Moreover, there were now three pigs, two cows, five sheep and ten chickens inside.
With the horses in hand, Xie Xin also took advantage of the situation to make Takahashi saddles and stirrups and distribute them to every student in the school. Of course, after these students leave the school, these things have to be recycled.
Because of the help of these two things, the students quickly learned to ride horses. Although they were not yet proficient and did not control the horses well, they were able to ride steadily on the horses for the time being.
At this time, Gongsun Du took action again...
It's just different from last time. This time he sent a set of saddles and stirrups back to Youzhou after consulting Xie Xin. Moreover, he clearly stated this fact in the letter!
And Xie Xin allowed him to do that because he felt that the value of those exotic flowers and herbs was too high, and mere abacus and Xie's numbers couldn't make up for it, so he simply gave the Gaoqiao stirrups and saddles to Gongsun Sheng to help him improve the Youzhou cavalry.
combat effectiveness.
So, half a month later, Gongsun Sheng wrote for the second time.
On the one hand, I thanked the thank you letter and sent some gifts; on the other hand, I also formally sent an invitation to the thank you letter, saying that as long as the Hua Xia Private School is willing to move, the Gongsun family will build the Hua Xia Private School into the second largest academy in the Han Dynasty, even if it means selling everything!
Of course, I didn't say anything. It was also explained later that if Xie Xin didn't want to go, he would also be invited to come to Youzhou to play during the summer vacation. The two brothers hadn't seen each other for a long time, so it was time to get together.
Seeing the word summer vacation, Xie Xin suddenly realized that time flies so fast.
Since the last winter vacation, it’s time for summer vacation again unknowingly.
Yes, there are about two weeks left, and the summer vacation stipulated in the thank you letter is coming.
"Youzhou? Let's go have a look and complete the main mission on the way!" Xie Xin thought for a while and put the letter away.
I originally planned to use the summer vacation to improve my cultivation level. But now I think about it, it might as well go to Youzhou for some fun.
Cultivation can be done on the road. There are so many spiritual stones now, so I don’t have to worry about the speed of practice.
Moreover, it is not good to improve your realm too quickly, as it can easily breed inner demons.
Moreover, "Erjiu Xuan Gong" is also marked, and the improvement of the state of mind is also of great significance to cultivation.
"Want to go to Liaoxi for fun?" Xie Xin called all the disciples together and asked.
"Go! You must go!" For Bian Linglong, who has been bored in private school for several months, it is naturally the best thing to go out and play.
Not to mention her, Xie Yi and Lou Gui are also ready to make a move.
"Teacher, the disciple's parents..." Although Mao Jie wanted to go, he had received a letter from his parents before, asking him to go back during the summer vacation.
"I don't have any problems here. I really don't understand what that dad is thinking." Ji Ling said helplessly.
Ever since Xie Xin took him in as a bodyguard and as a registered disciple, his father, Ji Shu, seemed to have no son as he didn't even come to see him a few times.
Even though the holiday was about to come, his father just sent someone a letter.
"If the teacher asks you to come back, come back. If the teacher doesn't let you come back, just stay by the teacher's side!"
The main meaning of Ji Shu's letter is this.
It made Ji Ling look at it, and she couldn't help but wonder if she was born by her little mother...
Guo on the side was a little moved, but after looking at the smiling Guo Jia in her arms, she gritted her teeth and refused.
The north is colder than the south, and even in summer, the climate is somewhat different between the north and the south. There have been cases where residents of Chenliu died when they arrived in the north because they were not acclimatized to the climate.
So for the sake of her son, Ms. Guo thought it would be better not to go.
In fact, there is no need for her to refuse, Xie Xin really doesn’t intend to take her there.
Historically, Guo Jia followed Cao Cao in his Northern Expedition and eventually died of acclimatization. Although I don't know if it is true, but as a precaution, it would be better for Guo Jia not to let him go to the north.
Otherwise, such a genius would have died early in infancy, which would be a great and irreparable loss to history and Xie Xin!
After some discussion, Xie Xin decided to lead Lou Gui, Xie Yi, Bian Linglong and Ji Ling to go north to western Liaoning under the leadership of Gongsun Du during the summer vacation.
As the general manager, Gongsun Kai stayed to take care of Xie's mother. Guo took care of the five maids and also chatted with Xie's mother.
As for Li Feng, he planned to go back and ask his father before making a decision.
But if nothing unexpected happens, he will set off with Xie Xin and others.
Because this was his first group activity after becoming Xie Xin's disciple. The other senior brothers who could go all set out with Xie Xin. How could he, a younger junior brother, not go?
Sure enough, three days later, Li Feng returned to the private school and said that he would go to Youzhou with Xie Xin and others.
The official list has been finalized, and two weeks have passed in just a blink of an eye.
Summer vacation has arrived, Xie Xin and others also packed their luggage, each prepared a horse, and embarked on the road to Youzhou.
