Li Qinzai himself may not have noticed that what really changed the Tang Dynasty after he traveled through time was not the divine arm bow, the pulley block, gunpowder and the three-eyed gun.
What changed Datang was the basic knowledge of science and engineering he brought from his previous life.
These are the things that can truly strengthen and rejuvenate a country. Gunpowder and three-eyed blunderbuss are tools made on the basis of knowledge at best.
Li Qinzai knows the importance of basic knowledge of science and engineering better than anyone else, and he has told Li Zhi more than once.
When he saw that Li Zhi had paid enough attention to it, he became less concerned about it.
Those who are supposed to teach can still teach, but if they don’t learn well, they just let it go. A group of little bastards have been learning for nearly a year, and now they are only at the elementary school multiplication and division level. What can they do?
Li Qinzai did not have such a high consciousness. He could not dedicate himself to the Tang Dynasty, nor could he work hard for his students.
He just wants to live a simple and peaceful life, and does not want to live a life that is too busy or complicated.
If a student has no talent, it is better to compile a complete textbook by himself and pass on the basic knowledge of science and engineering. Books will naturally wait for the right person.
Why do so many masters leave a unique martial arts secret book under the cliff?
Of course it's to weed out the idiots.
Li Qinzai was indifferent to students and didn't care about teaching. This is probably the same mentality.
It would be great to compile textbooks directly. Books would help him fully screen out talents and idiots, so why bother to teach in person? Originally, when he became this teacher, he was chased away by Li Zhi.
The students of the Imperial College settled in the new dormitory. On their first night, they were curious about everything.
The Datongpu is very novel, and the hard kang under the Tongpu is also very novel. Outside is the construction site where craftsmen are working day and night. There are several houses under construction with very novel names.
It is said that some are called "Canteen", some are called "Teaching Department", and some are called "Experimental Classroom". These new and unheard-of names make the students of the Imperial College seem to have entered a brand new world.
With excitement and anxiety, the students in the Imperial College gradually fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Xu Changsong took the students to the entrance of the Li family courtyard.
Xu Changsong learned well this time and did not allow the students to make any noise. A group of people waited patiently at the door. When the sun rose at three o'clock, Buqu came to announce that the Fifth Young Master had just woken up and ordered the students to go in.
After a group of students entered the door, they saw Li Qinzai wearing a dark blue gown, sitting in the courtyard with a sleepy look on his face and yawning. It was obvious that he was still out of breath after getting up.
Everyone formally bowed to Li Qinzai as a disciple.
The students who originally had some doubts about Li Qinzai also stopped being scornful today.
The three questions that Li Qinzai casually answered yesterday impressed them very much. Although this gentleman is very young, almost the same age as them, he is respected as a master and should have an attitude towards learning.
Li Qinzai was also sizing them up.
Most of the students in the Imperial College came from poor families. Children from powerful families, such as Qibi Zhen, Shangguan Kun'er and others, usually would not enter the Imperial College to study with children from poor families. Their families would hire famous teachers.
"Children from a poor family" does not mean that the family is impoverished. That is not called a "poor family", but that is called "no family".
Children from poor families usually refer to families below the elite class and above the poor class. The family is not rich but they are barely able to support one or two scholars.
The poor are not even qualified to be called "poor families", and they are even less able to support scholars. Children from poor families can become half-laborers at the age of eight or nine, so how can it be possible to spend many years supporting them to study and become literate.
"Let the senior brothers take you to the classroom and learn from the basic knowledge," Li Qinzai lazily ordered: "The knowledge here is different from that of the Imperial College of Mathematics. You have to learn everything from scratch. You can memorize Jiujiu Ge in two days.
.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a student stood up and said respectfully: "Sir, I have memorized the Nine-Nine Songs by heart."
Li Qinzai was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
The foundation of science students of clear calculation is really much better than that of those little bastards. The little bastards are so proud that they didn't care about any knowledge of clear calculation before coming to Zhuangzi to study.
But the arithmetic subject of the Imperial College was different. The people they relied on to get into the imperial examination were people who worked hard, so they naturally worked harder.
"Then let the senior brothers teach you the numbers and arithmetic symbols of the Tang Dynasty. You must learn the numbers and symbols as soon as possible. They are the basic tools for all calculation knowledge."
All the students agreed.
Li Sujie led a group of little bastards on the stage, with malicious smiles on their faces. When they walked in front of everyone, the students saluted very innocently and called them "senior brothers."
The little bastards returned the gift very politely, and then enthusiastically led the students into the backyard classroom.
Li Qinzai twitched the corner of his mouth, pointed at Li Sujie and said, "Don't go too far."
Li Sujie said sternly: "Sir, don't worry, the junior brothers have just arrived. As senior brothers, we haven't had enough time to take care of them. How can we go too far?"
Li Qinzai hummed, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep without saying a word.
These students in the Imperial College really deserve a good welcome from their senior brothers. They thought they were in a garden on earth with birds singing and flowers fragrant, but they didn't expect to fall into a jungle purgatory filled with wolves and cubs.
Knowledge can't be learned just by asking for a few words. It also has to go through the baptism of the soul. The princes and dandies have to be whipped if they have nothing to do. Can the students of the Imperial College be exempted from the vulgarity?
…………
The excited students were led to the backyard by Li Sujie.
The new school has not yet been completely built, so all the disciples are temporarily studying in the Li Family Villa.
Everyone stood in the empty yard of the backyard and couldn't help but feel strange when they saw the thick leaves and dust on the ground.
It's summer now, and it's not the leaf falling season yet. Where did the thick leaves in the yard come from?
On the porch outside the classroom, little bastards such as Li Sujie and Li Xian stared at the students with smiles and kept looking at them. The light in their eyes made people shudder. It always felt like they had entered a wolf's den and a group of wolves were trying to figure out where to eat them.
.
Li Sujie waved to everyone, pointed to the fallen leaves in the yard with a smile, and said: "Master once said that studying is not just about studying. You have to do all the chores inside and outside the school by yourself..."
"When we first came here, this place was just a deserted courtyard in another courtyard. We personally cleaned up this deserted courtyard. Now that the junior brothers are here, of course they should express their opinions, otherwise the senior brothers How do you keep balance in your heart, right?"
All the students were stunned, looked at each other, and finally nodded reluctantly.
Li Sujie still smiled and said: "Cleaning the yard is just one of them. The sage said, 'Disciples are responsible for their work.' 'Disciples' naturally includes juniors, so the daily cleaning inside and outside the school, the arrangement of books, floor cleaning and waxing, etc., are all Sorry for your trouble, junior brothers..."
The students were a little dissatisfied. One student stood up and said displeasedly: "You are too bullying!"
Li Sujie still smiled and said: "Bullying people? Ha! Sir, your knowledge is unparalleled and reaches the heavens. He is the only person in the world who can grasp the principles of heaven and earth. How can you teach such peerless knowledge lightly?"
"Junior brother, you take the matter of studying too simply. Do you think that just by giving me some training and a discipleship ceremony, you can have the master teach you peerless knowledge?"
"Which of us senior brothers is not from a powerful family in the Tian family? So what? Did you know how much hardship we suffered when we came here to study?"
Li Sujie's smile faded, and she pointed at Qibi Zhen and said: "He is the son of General Qibi Heli. He is a guard behind the gate. He is thick-skinned and thick-skinned. He was punished by his master and whipped. The pain caused him to burst into tears..."
Then he pointed at Shangguan Kun'er, and Li Sujie said: "He, the grandson of Shangguan Yi, the assistant minister of Zhongshu, stays up all night before every exam. He can't sleep at night and hides in the room secretly wiping his tears."
Pointing at himself again, Li Sujie said angrily: "For the sake of Mr. Bo's favor, I risked my life and insisted on accompanying him eastward to Baekje. I personally participated in the battle of Baijiangkou, and I served Mr. Bo throughout the whole battle to destroy the Japanese kingdom." , I saw with my own eyes that the Japanese country was destroyed by Mr.…”
What he said made the students of the Imperial College dumbfounded, and a chill ran down their backs.
Li Sujie and the little bastards seemed to have opened the valve of painful memories. It was originally a ritual to train and bully their junior brothers, but it inexplicably evoked sad memories, and their eyes turned red.
Li Sujie sniffed hard and said: "Studying? What do you think studying is? Studying means being humble and submissive! Why can't you bear the hardships that the senior brothers have endured? If anyone can't accept it, why don't you do it now? Turn around and go back to Chang'an."
