Although these were all his guesses, he still said firmly:
"Do you really think that arithmetic is useless?"
As soon as these words came out, many students couldn't help but lower their heads and fell into deep thought.
They should understand for themselves whether arithmetic is useful or not. After all, most of the students at Lan Xiang Academy are children from poor families.
In their hands, they have more or less ways to make a living.
And in these ways, calculation methods are more or less used. Therefore, the improvement of learning arithmetic for them is actually obvious.
Then, some students said:
"I keep accounts for the horse and carriage company. It seems that since I learned arithmetic, it is much easier to keep accounts."
"I am in the grain store, doing inventory and checking accounts for others. Not to mention, since I learned arithmetic, my efficiency has become much higher. In the past, it took three or four days to complete the inventory, but now it only takes two days. And Extremely accurate!”
"Yes, yes, when I was settling accounts in the brothel..."
Halfway through the student's words, he felt countless eyes around him, all of which were directed towards him.
He coughed lightly, quickly lowered his head, covered his face and left.
"So, brothers, I think you've already noticed it."
Zhao Yu smiled faintly and assumed the posture of a humble gentleman.
"Please ask yourselves, is the arithmetic taught in our Lanxiang Academy really useless?"
"Of course not!"
Many people shook their heads in unison and began to reflect on the skills learned at Lan Xiang Academy.
Although it is of little significance for the imperial examination, it can make their future lives much better.
This little thing alone makes countless students feel grateful to Lanxiang Academy in their hearts.
When Zhao Yu saw this, he breathed a sigh of relief and spoke again:
"Think again, our academy has evening self-study. During the evening self-study, no matter what you study, it is all your own freedom. If you don't understand something, you can ask the teacher on duty."
"I would like to ask you all, apart from Lanxiang Academy, do other academies offer this evening self-study?"
Hearing this, the students shook their heads subconsciously.
In fact, when they first entered Lanxiang Academy, they were extremely shocked when they heard that there was such a thing as evening self-study.
After all, according to the living habits of Dazhou, although it is not possible to work at sunrise and rest at sunset. But once the sun sets, most people still choose to return to their homes.
Even if I study hard late at night, I sit alone in front of the cold window and read with an oil lamp.
But this Lanxiang Academy has brought students together for the first time, and even arranged for teachers to be on duty.
Just based on this, countless students can no longer find faults.
At this time, the students actually felt grateful towards Lan Xiang Academy.
However, a small number of students still refused to give up and continued to ask:
"But even so, our academy still pays too much attention to arithmetic. In my opinion, it is just a trivial arithmetic, and there is no need to waste so much time on me!"
After hearing this, many students nodded in agreement.
In the eyes of most students, arithmetic is just a trivial matter and not worth mentioning.
But only Yang Dong knew in his heart that arithmetic was never a trivial matter. To a certain extent, if you want to develop science, you cannot avoid the development of mathematics.
This is also the reason why Yang Dong didn't have much sense of involvement when he saw time travel in his previous life.
But one thing to say, he still likes the part about flirting with girls.
Ahem...
At this moment, a gentleman wearing a navy blue robe outside the door slowly walked into the dormitory.
In fact, he had been listening to the students' debate outside the door for a long time.
Even this gentleman was a little surprised by Zhao Yu's speech just now.
You know, these students don't know the reason why Lanxiang Academy vigorously develops arithmetic.
But just because students don’t know it doesn’t mean that gentlemen don’t know it.
In fact, it was precisely because of the poor initial work of the gentlemen that the students were shaken by the teaching model of Lanxiang Academy.
But as the saying goes, it's not too late to make things right.
This gentleman has now realized the omissions of these teachers.
So he gently pushed open the dormitory door and said in a deep voice:
"Students, you are actually worrying too much."
As soon as these words came out, there was an immediate silence in the dormitory.
The students' eyes turned to the teacher one after another. Many students even bowed slightly to salute Mr.
The gentleman returned the gift and then spoke eloquently:
"Actually, what you don't know is that when our Lanxiang Academy was first established, the Chief already set the tone."
"Students who graduate from our academy can directly enter the yamen for internship without passing the imperial examination."
As soon as this statement came out, all the students present opened their eyes wide and were dumbfounded!
"What? They can actually enter the yamen directly without passing the imperial examination? How can such a good thing happen in this world?"
A touch of absurd feelings emerged in the hearts of many people.
But soon, they came back to their senses.
Who is the headmaster of Lanxiang Academy? That was the famous Zhou Shixian, Mr. Yang!
In the capital, everyone knows that Mr. Yang is a close confidant of His Majesty.
In this way, we can make a bold guess.
For example, behind Lanxiang Academy, it may be His Majesty on the Dragon Throne, not Manager Yang.
Only in this way can they, the students of Lanxiang Academy, enter the yamen directly without passing the imperial examination.
But at this time, some students asked in confusion:
"Sir, may I ask what this internship is about?"
"The so-called internship actually means that after you are successful in your studies, you can be arranged to go to the yamen for three months of experience based on your grades. During the experience period, the salary is 60% of that of other officials."
"After completing the training, outstanding candidates can stay in the yamen and be appointed as officials."
The teacher's words instantly caused an uproar among the students present.
It turned out that they could enter the yamen to practice without passing the imperial examination!
Although it’s just an internship, didn’t you hear? Not only are there salaries, but those with outstanding performance can also be appointed as officials.
In this way, wouldn't their future be extremely bright?
At this moment, all the students present were grateful that they had not left with other students a few days ago.
Otherwise, such good things will never happen to you.
And if you really miss it, you will probably regret it for the rest of your life, right?
At this point, many students have completely given up the idea of leaving Lanxiang Academy.
At this moment, the gentleman spoke again:
"Arithmetic is not a trivial matter. If you want to be appointed in the future, stay in the yamen. You need to study arithmetic well! I remember what the mountain chief said... Arithmetic talents are a rare type of talent in the imperial court.

Some people died, but not completely...
