It was indeed a masterstroke for the academy to make the arrangement of the twenty trees public. Everyone can participate and compete based on the number of moves. The more he plays, the more he loves to play. The more he loves to play, the more he admires Han Jingyun who can solve sixteen or twenty lines.
"Brother Zheng, there is no need to underestimate yourself. The academy is indeed unpredictable in mathematics. After this incident, this is also recognized by others."
Brother Zheng shook his head, "I'm afraid it's more than that. Don't forget that in addition to mathematics, the academy also has physics and chemistry."
He glanced at the Baiwen Monuments standing side by side outside the academy gate, and continued to sigh, "Since these two subjects can be placed side by side with mathematics, it's not bad after all."
After hearing this, Brother Gao looked at the person in front of him strangely, smiled and asked in surprise: "What? Does Brother Zheng still want to go to the academy to study?"
"Haha." Brother Zheng laughed and shook his head, "I really want to go and experience it, but after all, I am old and I can't let it go. But the dog is young, so I can let him go in and experience it."
Brother Gao was shocked when he heard this, "Brother Zheng wants to send your son to the academy? Not to the Imperial College?"
"That's the plan." Brother Zheng stroked his beard and nodded.
"What about the imperial examination?"
"You can also participate in the imperial examination in the academy."
...
After this incident, the academy became famous and Han Jingyun became famous.
But at the same time, Han Du was frightened. The girl just didn't know the importance of doing things, and even instigated several princes to go to the gambling house. That is to say, everything happened for a reason, and Lao Zhu was unwilling to care about it. Otherwise, Han Jingyun could be doomed just by this incident.
For this reason, Han Du figured that Shibo Division didn't have too many things to do right now, and he still had some free time, so he took the time to go to the academy to keep an eye on Han Jingyun, and by the way, he continued to teach physics and chemistry.
Otherwise, it would not be good to leave all mathematics, physics and chemistry to Han Jingyun to teach. She likes to do mathematical research but has no reason to do some hands-on experiments, and physical chemistry is a subject that requires hands-on experiments. Therefore, when Han Jingyun taught, he simply taught them knowledge.
Want to do an experiment? go alone.
From then on, Han Du began to live a life of running back and forth between the Shibo Department and the academy.
On this day, a rather unexpected person found Han Du.
"Xue Gongbu's visit to the academy is really a blessing."
Xue Xiang smiled and waved his hand, "Master Hou, please stop making fun of me. I am a commoner now and I can't bear the words of Master Hou."
When Han Du heard this, his heart suddenly tightened. Did something happen to Xue Xiang? "What did Xue Gongbu say? Just call him Handu. By the way, what does Xue Gongbu mean?"
"I have already submitted my resignation to the Emperor, and I want to retire and return home." Xue Xiang waved his hands, looking extremely free and easy.
"Then, are you ready to say goodbye to me and leave Beijing to return to your hometown?" Han Du's tone was somewhat sad. At Xue Xiang's age, this farewell may be forever.
Xue Xiang looked at Han Du carefully with a smile, and then said: "Originally, I also planned this, but the emperor suddenly gave me a house in the capital and hundreds of acres of fertile land in Yingtian Mansion, and allowed me to stay in the capital. Since So I don’t plan to go back, since there aren’t many people in my hometown anymore, so I might as well just stay in the capital until the end of my life.”
Han Du did not expect that things would turn around like this. He was stunned for a moment and quickly congratulated, "Congratulations, sir."
"Same joy, same joy." Xue Xiang agreed with a smile, and looked at Han Du with a smile, "I heard from the prince that it was you who suggested to the emperor that he could keep the officials in the capital without having to return to their hometowns? "
Han Du thought for a moment and smiled casually, "I proposed it to the emperor, but I didn't expect that the emperor would agree."
Xue Xiang nodded, the emperor's thoughts were indeed unpredictable and unfathomable.
"Then why did you make this suggestion to the emperor in the first place? What did you think?"
Han Du smiled and felt that there was nothing to hide from Xue Xiang, so he said: "Why do you think Qian Yuan lost the world?"
"The emperor said that Yuan Yuan lost the world because of his tolerance." Old God Xue Xiang said in a clear voice. Obviously, his concept was the same as that of Lao Zhu, which was that Yuan Yuan lost the world because of his tolerance.
Han Du did not argue with him on this issue and continued to ask, "Why do you think the former Song Dynasty lost the world?"
Xue Xiang glanced at Han Du and was silent for a while. He still couldn't think of the biggest reason why the former Song Dynasty lost the world, so he asked: "What do you think?"
"I think the former Song Dynasty lost the world due to corruption." Han Du solemnly replied.
Xue Xiang frowned after hearing this, "Corruption has existed since ancient times and is not uncommon in all dynasties. Why do you say that the former Song Dynasty lost the world because of corruption? Besides, there was Bao Gong in the former Song Dynasty, so it can be regarded as the Qingming Festival, right? "
"A person's integrity is of little use to an era." Han Du shook his head and sighed, "The economy and culture of the former Song Dynasty were undoubtedly the best in the world, but in the end they were defeated by the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. Ordinary people may lament this, but in the eyes of the boy, they bring it upon themselves. Zhao Pu, Wang Quanbin, Ding Wei, Wang Qinruo, Cai Jing, Qin Hui, Jia Sidao, Tong Guan, Gao Qiu, Zhang Jun, Liu Guangshi and others , each and every one of them is a huge corrupt man with huge wealth, even as rich as the country. They embezzled money and violated the law, sold their official positions, expropriated taxes, used public services for personal gain, and each and every one of them used their power to make a lot of money."
"Why do you think these officials are so corrupt?"
Xue Xiang thought for a moment, but had no answer, so he shook his head slightly.
Han Du continued: "In my opinion, the emperor of the former Song Dynasty had a problem with his thinking. The emperor believed that they could not threaten the power of the royal family, so he often turned a blind eye to his corruption. Senior officials of the former Song Dynasty Not only is it corrupt, but almost no one is held accountable for corruption, and the vast majority of corrupt officials die of old age, which is the result of the connivance of the former Song emperor."
"But there is another reason, that is, the houses in Kaifeng in the former Song Dynasty were so expensive that officials could not afford them. Not only ordinary officials could not afford them, but even the first and second-rank officials of the imperial court could not afford them, so they could only afford them. Let’s rent a house to live in. I wonder if you’ve ever heard of a story?”
"what story?"
"During the period of Renzong of the Song Dynasty, because the court became wealthy, Renzong wanted to expand the palace. After all, the palace of the former Song Dynasty was originally just a residence for military governors. Standing in a restaurant in the capital, you can overlook the entire palace. But time and time again They wanted to expand, but they failed in the end. The reason was that the price of palaces in the capital was too expensive, and even the wealth of the palace at that time could not afford to demolish the residential buildings next to the palace."
