The academy is located directly in the capital, and the students in the academy are also eligible to participate in the imperial examination. These two points alone are very attractive to the Gongsheng students.
Even if they don't go out specifically to recruit people, I'm afraid there are many Gongsheng students who want to enter the academy. But the scene created by Han Du made Gong Sheng feel suspicious after he couldn't understand it at all.
This scene caused by Han Du actually had a counterproductive effect on the academy's recruitment of tribute students.
"Mathematics, physics, chemistry, and of course the Four Books and Five Classics that you care about most, and Mr. Fang, who is proficient in the meaning of the classics, will personally teach you the meaning of the classics." Han Du said with a smile.
When they heard that the Academy was indeed just like the rumors, and that Fang Xiaoru, the minister of the East Palace, was personally teaching them the meaning of the scriptures, everyone couldn't help but feel hot in their hearts. Having a future emperor and close minister as a teacher is a good thing that many people can only dream of.
Some people even think that maybe their ancestors are blessing them because they didn't get into the Imperial College.
However, there are still some people who are calm after all. Although Fang Xiaoru is a famous Confucian of his generation and a minister of the East Palace, Fang Xiaoru is not the only one who is the minister of the East Palace. Exactly what status Fang Xiaoru will have in front of the emperor in the future, these are all things that are not yet certain.
In this case, it is better to focus on the present, "I dare to ask Jing Haibo, although the academy teaches the Four Books and Five Classics, if students spend too much time on mathematics, physics, and chemistry, won't it delay our studies?" ?”
As soon as Han Du heard the meaning of this man's words, he understood that this man should be a person who "has no ears to hear anything outside the window and only reads the books of sages." Apart from being an official in high school, he knew nothing about other things. Care, let alone asking him to study mathematics, physics and chemistry.
This kind of person is not Han Du's cup of tea at all. Han Du smiled and didn't even bother to answer this person.
Fang Xiaoru, who was on the side, saw that the scene was a little cold, so he explained: "Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. If you are used to reading the Four Books and Five Classics, you may gain more by reading other books. Therefore, while you are studying the meaning of the classics, , learning mathematics, physics, and chemistry will only do you good, and there will be no harm. This is a fact that many students have confirmed."
When Han Du saw that Fang Xiaoru had spoken, he nodded with a smile and said, "Shi Fang said
That's right, but mathematics, physics and chemistry are extensive and profound, exploring the principles of all things, and are very practical. This is knowledge that can benefit the world and must be learned. "
Seeing Gongsheng looking at each other in confusion, Han Du continued: "In this case, I will show it to all the students."
After saying that, he opened a wooden box on the long desk and took out several one-inch long thin wooden sticks, a thin wire and a weight.
Seeing the confused expressions of the Gongsheng students gathered in front of him, Han Du stretched out his hand to signal and said, "Whoever can use these wooden sticks to hang the weight on the edge of this long case will be rewarded with one hundred sticks."
One hundred strings is a great prize!
It is a pity that all the Gongsheng students shook their heads after looking at it for a while, "Uncle, it is impossible to lift the weight with no support at the edge of this long case."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"That's right, let alone a hundred strings. If anyone can do it, I will eat this long case!"
Not only Gong Sheng, but everyone onlookers were constantly frowning and shaking their heads.
Unexpectedly, someone had a hobby of eating wood, so Han Du couldn't help but look at him twice.
Seeing that everyone said it was impossible, Han Du laid his hands to stop everyone's discussion and asked them to quiet down.
"Since everyone says it's impossible, why don't you just give it a try?"
Seeing Han Du's confident smile, the officials all looked sideways and looked at Han Du in surprise. Even Fang Xiaoru glanced at Han Du and frowned. He didn't think the weight could be hoisted.
Seeing that the effect he had expected was achieved, Han Du smiled with satisfaction, stretched out his hand to pass the thin thread through the weight, and tied the thin thread into a circle. Then I hung it on a wooden stick and tried the feel. I have to say that the weight of this weight is not small.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Han Du pressed the wooden stick against the edge of the long case with one hand, letting the thin wire stick tightly to the long case, and then relaxed his palm slightly. As soon as it was loosened, the weight fell straight down.
"That won't work." Han Du said with a smile.
Then pick up a wooden stick, place it horizontally under the wooden stick, and spread the two thin wires. Then he let go slightly, and as a result, the hearts of the onlookers dropped again following the weight.
"This still doesn't work." Han Du smiled again.
After saying that, he picked up the last piece of wood and his expression suddenly became solemn. Put this last wooden stick in the middle of the horizontal wooden sticks and hang it on one end of the weighing stick.
Han Du held his breath and concentrated, then he loosened his palm slightly and lifted it up gently. The weight did not fall down at all, but was hung firmly on the edge of the long case by the wooden stick.
For a moment, there were gasping sounds all around, and people stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what they were seeing. It was obviously three helpless small wooden sticks, but they were able to lift the weight out of thin air.
If they hadn't seen Han Du's constant attempts just now, even if someone told them that Han Du was a god, they would believe it without hesitation.
Lifting a weight out of thin air is something that no one except gods can do.
Han Du looked at everyone's reaction with satisfaction, opened his hands as if hugging something, and said softly: "Everyone, please see, this is the magic of physics."
"Here, you didn't stick it with something, right?" Some people still can't believe that the scene in front of them is real. I just thought that Han Du had created some kind of deception, or that he had stuck it with something.
Han Du took a step back, made a gesture of invitation, and said with a smile: "This Gongsheng, you can come forward and check carefully."
This Gongsheng student is also a lover of miscellaneous studies. He knows a lot about miscellaneous studies, but he has never heard of such a magical scene.
In order to clear up the doubts in his heart, he stepped forward to check it out without hesitation. Who knew that when his hand lightly touched the top wooden stick, his balance was immediately broken, and everything fell to the ground instantly.
For destroying other people's things, Gongsheng immediately showed apology on his face. However, this can be regarded as proof that Han Du did not interfere with it, and he really lifted the weight out of thin air.
Seeing Gong Sheng's embarrassed look, Han Du smiled and said, "It's okay. You can also learn what I did just now and lift the weight."
"Me? I can do it too?" The Gongsheng pointed at his nose and couldn't believe what he heard.
