Who are the people who can enter the academy now? In the first year of the academy's establishment, all students viewed the academy with suspicion and scrutiny.
At that time, the students recruited by the academy were either those who really liked arithmetic and physics, or those who could not pass the Chinese Imperial Examination but wanted to stay in the capital.
The capital is large and difficult to live in. It is not easy for a student to stay in the capital for a year and wait until the next year to take the exam again. If the family were not a wealthy landlord, they would not be able to afford such consumption.
If you want to stay in the capital, renting a house is a huge expense. Even a modest house would cost more than ten dollars a year. But these students are all coquettish. Can they live in such a poor house? If they lived in a house like this, would their classmates find out and be ridiculed?
Furthermore, staying in the capital is not just about making ends meet. Students always have a few friends. When traveling in the spring, escaping from the heat in the summer, climbing mountains in the autumn, and admiring the snow in the winter, there are always a few friends to get together with, right? Come and go, it's all money.
The reason why many students wanted to take the college entrance examination was because the college not only provided free accommodation, but also made money.
Later, after Han Du improved the academy's reputation several times, more and more people wanted to join the academy. It didn't take long for the academy's reputation to completely overtaken the Imperial College, becoming the number one academy in the capital and the number one academy in the Ming Dynasty. .
The students who enter the academy at this time are truly elites from all over the world.
But the girl held such elite standards for a child less than ten years old. Han Du wanted to ask her, "Are you polite?"
But Han Jingyun was still unconvinced and said, "What the elder brother said are ordinary people, but is he an ordinary person? He will inherit the throne in the future, and he will face all the best people. If you don't work hard now, One point, what can we do in the future?”
Han Du looked at the girl and thought to himself: When I used to criticize others, I always said that your family has a throne that you want to inherit? Unexpectedly, even if there is a throne to be inherited, there will still be a chicken baby's mother.
Seeing that the girl was stubborn, Han Du flipped the book forward and raised his brows.
Pointing to the content inside, he said: "The prince has done very well in his previous studies. This alone is enough to prove that the prince's intelligence is far beyond ordinary people. What else are you dissatisfied with?"
"Moreover, for his age, being able to learn to this extent is far beyond ordinary people. In my opinion, the prince has done a very good job." Han Du raised the book in his hand and looked at the girl .
Han Jingyun's face drooped and he looked unhappy.
And when Zhu Yunye rarely met someone speaking for him, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and snicker. In the past, his father would also help him speak a few words in front of his mother and concubine to defend him. But after his father was lectured several times by his mother and concubine, he never spoke to him again.
Han Jingyun lowered his head after being lectured by Han Du. When he saw that his son dared to gloat about his misfortune, he immediately slapped him on the back of the head.
"What are you doing?" Han Du shouted angrily when he saw it.
Han Jingyun was so frightened that he suddenly withdrew his hand and said aggrievedly: "Brother, you have gone too far. You can just teach me a lesson. Can't I teach him a lesson?"
Han Du walked up in two steps, quickly pulled Zhu Yunye into his arms, reached out and rubbed the back of his head. He asked with concern: "Your Majesty, are you okay? Do you have a headache?"
How could it not hurt after being slapped like this by my mother-in-law? But when Zhu Yunye saw Han Du's nervous look, he shook his head and said firmly: "It doesn't hurt."
Han Du then straightened up, turned around and lectured the girl: "I'm not telling you, no matter how old you are, you still don't have a heavy blow. You can't hit a person's head. Especially the back of the head, which is the most vulnerable place. Even a slap in the face could knock someone silly. What's more, he is still a child? If you really hit him by mistake and get into trouble, let alone learn the things you taught, and even be a normal person. It’s difficult for everyone.”
Han Du's words immediately frightened Han Jingyun, and he quickly took Zhu Yunye over and eagerly looked at the place where he had just been beaten. After checking, he asked softly: "Do you feel uncomfortable?"
After all, this is her biological son. In the past, she put away the gentle side of her mother-in-law and used a tough attitude to demand her son. This was because she hoped that her son would become a talented person in the future and be able to maintain the legacy left by his father's generation. It's not that she really doesn't like this son. As Zhu Yunye is Han Jingyun's eldest son, how could she not like him?
It had been a long time since Zhu Yunye saw his mother-in-law treating him so tenderly, and he burst into tears, tears of grievance flowing down his face.
Han Jingyun was also shocked by his son's sudden emotional outburst. He hugged him hard and said over and over again: "My mother and concubine will never force you again, and I will never force you again..."
After Han Jingyun calmed down, the three of them sat down again.
Seeing that the girl's face was still worried, Han Du asked with a smile: "What? Haven't you figured it out yet?"
Han Jingyun sighed, looked at his eldest brother and said, "You know how old you are at the age of three. He is just too playful now and doesn't like to learn these things. I'm still a little worried about his future."
Han Du simply put down the tea cup and said seriously: "The future will be known in the future. What are you worried about? Why do you think you are old at three years old? People don't only live for three years in this life, they live a long life. No matter how eager you are, , you should also let the prince do the right things when he is at the right age. For example, now, the prince is still young and it is time for fun, so what if you let him play more? "
"This... is just a joke, I'm afraid it's not good, right?" Zhu Biao felt very happy when he saw Han Du beating up his beloved concubine so much that he lost his temper. But at this time, he had to stand up and speak for Han Jingyun.
Han Du immediately turned his gaze to Zhu Biao and said seriously: "What's wrong with a child being playful? The reason why a child is playful is because he is exploring everything around him, which can better stimulate his curiosity. . As long as you have curiosity, no matter what you learn in the future, you will get twice the result with half the effort.”
Then he looked at the girl and said: "And if you control him too strictly now, it will be equivalent to killing his curiosity. If he doesn't even have curiosity, how can he be interested in everything around him in the future? You Every day I think about what will happen when the prince inherits the throne in the future, but have you ever thought about what if he is no longer interested in inheriting the throne? What should you do? "
Han Jingyun was immediately shocked. If her son was not even interested in inheriting the throne, then everything she did now, including what she did in the next few decades, would become a joke.
A heavy cold sweat broke out from Han Jingyun's forehead and slid down his cheeks. Fortunately, her elder brother reminded her, otherwise she would have made a big mistake. "Thank you, brother."
Han Du snorted and stopped blaming the girl. He reached out and picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
"Haha, it seems that Han Du is really good at teaching children." Zhu Biao laughed dryly, trying to lighten the atmosphere.
Sure enough, Han Jingyun felt much better after Zhu Biao's gag.
When Han Du saw that his sister had realized her mistake, his voice was no longer harsh, but he said softly: "And in my opinion, whether the prince can be a good emperor in the future has little to do with the mathematics you taught him."
"Why?" Han Jingyun couldn't understand. From what she saw, mathematics was an extremely profound subject, and it was a test of a person's intelligence. If you are good at mathematics, it can easily prove that this person is smart.
A smart emperor will of course be a good emperor.
Han Du smiled and said, "Do you think that the smarter you are, the more wise you will be?"
"Isn't that true?" Han Jingyun asked doubtfully.
Even when Zhu Biao heard Han Du's words, he had to be cautious and listened carefully.
Han Du smiled and shook his head, "In my opinion, the most important thing for a superior is to manage people. As long as they can control people, everything else will not be a problem. Just like what Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty said, when it comes to leading troops in battle, He is not as good as Han Xin, he is not as good as Xiao He in terms of managing government affairs, and he is not as good as Zhang Liang in terms of strategy. Which of these three is not wiser than Han Gaozu? But it was only Han Gaozu who eventually became the founding emperor, and no matter how smart the others were You can only serve as a minister."
"Is it enough to just be able to take care of people?" Han Jingyun looked at his brother with some suspicion.
Han Du burst out laughing and said, "Do you think it's easy to manage people? If you want to manage people, you need a very broad knowledge. Although it doesn't require that what you learn is very difficult, it must be broad-based, no matter what kind of knowledge it is. You must understand a little bit about everything. Only in this way can you not be easily fooled by the people below and be able to make clear judgments."
Seeing that the girl was silent, Han Du shook his head again and said, "Because of this, it seems to me that you are teaching too difficult mathematics to the prince. In fact, it will not be of any help to him in the future."
Han Du glanced at the girl subconsciously. He vaguely remembered a saying that seemed to say that the more talented he was in mathematics, the more he was a political idiot. Being an emperor is all about political skills, so being good at mathematics is not only useless, but will actually cause obstacles.
Zhu Biao looked at Han Du thoughtfully and asked, "The idea of managing people is new, but it seems to make some sense."
Han Du said with a smile: "It's not that it seems to make sense, but it actually makes sense. Just like me, I am in charge of the Jiaofang Division. If I want to manage the Jiaofang Division well, do I still need to pick up the guests in person?"
"Pfft! Hahaha..." Zhu Biao was immediately amused by Han Du's words.
Han Jingyun seemed to think of his eldest brother standing at the door of the Jiaofang Division soliciting customers, and suddenly said in embarrassment: "Brother, what are you talking about?"
Han Du looked at the two of them seriously, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "What you say is rough, but your reasoning is not rough."
Zhu Biao was stimulated by Han Du's words again, and he bent down with laughter.
After a while, Zhu Biao slowly recovered and said to Han Jingyun: "Did you hear that, my beloved concubine? It's better not to control Yun Ye too tightly in the future. It's okay to just let him play for a while."
Han Jingyun nodded and agreed.
