Several people were walking back and forth, and it seemed that they were not here to attend the lecture, which undoubtedly made the teacher very dissatisfied.
The tone is also quite unkind.
The Ouchi guard couldn't bear it any longer.
However, Zhu Tianzheng spoke first and asked, "Is Zhu Qingfeng here?"
Well?
The teacher was obviously stunned for a moment and didn't react at all.
Eunuch Cao said quickly: "Your Highness, Fourth Highness, are you here?"
After hearing this, the teacher reacted, and his face suddenly became even more unhappy. He called His Highness the Fourth Prince by his first name?
"Who are you? Hurry..."
He said that he was going to drive people away.
An Ouchi guard had already taken out a token.
The teacher's face changed slightly, obviously he had some knowledge. When he looked at Zhu Tianzheng and his group, his face suddenly turned pale and his forehead was sweating.
Zhu Tianzheng naturally would not embarrass him and asked: "Where are the four old people?"
"Four... His Highness the Fourth is out..." The teacher probably knew Lao Zhu's identity. Who else dared to call His Highness the Fourth Prince by his first name, and address him as Lao Si.
But he was not sure whether he should tell the truth or not, so he stuttered.
Zhu Tianzheng said: "No need to be nervous, I just came to take a look. Who is in charge here now?"
"Your Majesty, this is Master Liu from the Academy."
"Take me to meet him."
The teacher didn't dare to neglect, so he hurriedly bowed and led the way. Soon, a group of people came to the outside of a certain room. There was also a sign on it that said "Teacher's Office".
There are many busy ladies in the office.
The leader, Mrs. Liu, was over fifty years old. When he saw the visitor, his expression suddenly changed, and he obviously recognized Zhu Tianzheng.
He quickly stepped forward and saluted, "I have met His Majesty!"
The other masters also saluted.
Zhu Tianzheng looked at Master Liu, "Do you know me?"
Master Liu quickly said: "Your Majesty, I saw him from a distance once in Jixia Academy."
Zhu Tianzheng was slightly surprised, "Are you from Jixia Academy?"
"yes!"
Master Liu replied, "We have just arrived here not long ago. This school was originally built by the princess. Previously, the princess hired a gentleman to teach the children to read and write. Not long ago, the Fourth Highness found Jixia Academy and we learned that This school, then came here.”
Zhu Tianzheng asked curiously: "What did the Fourth want you to do? Teach?"
Master Liu said: "Your Majesty, yes or no, His Highness asked them to edit the textbooks, and..."
He quickly told the story.
Zhu Tianzheng listened and flipped through the textbooks, Chinese, mathematics, and the pinyin and numbers.
He had heard of Arabic numerals before, but this was his first contact with Pinyin. Looking at these strange symbols, he couldn't help but ask, "What are these symbols?"
Master Liu had to explain patiently.
Zhu Tianzheng was confused and just asked: "Is this thing useful?"
Master Liu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it is not only useful, but also of great use. It is of great use to children who have just started to learn to read and write. It is beyond imagination. Your Fourth Highness is a scholar of heaven and man. He is really a literary star descending to earth..."
Master Liu was not stingy in his praise and praised the great talents.
Zhu Tianzheng was a little excited, after all, he was praising his own son.
But he still said: "This bastard, he is not doing his job all day long, doing all these useless things..."
Before he finished speaking, Master Liu stopped agreeing, "Your Majesty's words are wrong. In comparison, this is a major event that truly benefits the country and the people..."
Jixia Academy is different from other academies. It has been passed down for thousands of years and has always adhered to its own principles and not participated in government affairs. Therefore, although the students and teachers of Jixia Academy respect the imperial power, they also have their own integrity.
Master Liu obviously had strong objections to saying this was not doing his job properly.
The other gentlemen behind him did the same.
Zhu Tianzheng snorted, knowing the faults of these people in Jixia Academy and not caring about them.
He just said: "I'll find out if I ask you if it's really that useful."
"Go! Invite all the academicians from the Hanlin Academy and the Imperial Academy to offer wine."
"yes!"
The two Ouchi guards left quickly.
After a while, he returned and brought with him Li Qiushui, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, Xu Wenchang, a wine minister from the Imperial Academy, and several other officials, both from the Hanlin Academy and the Imperial Academy.
Before Li Qiu Shui entered the door, a voice came, "I heard that the Fourth Highness has done something else? Come and show me..."
This old guy can be considered a loyal fan of the great talent.
I heard that the matter involved a talented man who, at his age, could run faster than the imperial guards.
Even Zhu Tianzheng on the side didn't bother to pay attention. After asking some questions, he picked up the textbook on the table and started reading.
Zhu Tianzheng was speechless, but facing this stubborn old man who was devoted to learning, he really had no choice.
After Xu Wenchang and others learned about the situation, they also started reading.
In fact, the Hanlin Academy and the Imperial College have known about pinyin and numbers for a long time, and know their benefits, but the state agencies have too many things to consider.
And they are not able to launch a complete teaching system like Lin Bai, and most of them explore it on their own.
"Okay! It's really great! Let's not talk about the Chinese language. This math is simply too exquisite. This is only fifth grade math, and I am actually having a hard time. Is there anything more to come?"
Li Qiushui quickly looked at Master Liu and asked.
Master Liu replied: "Your Highness the Fourth Prince said that this is a five-year primary school textbook, and there will be a five-year middle school textbook later, and middle school mathematics will include algebra, geometry, physics, and chemistry. These are the real Gewu …”
He recounted the various ideas of the great talent.
Um! Naturally, this is an assumption, a pie created by a great talent to deceive these people into working.
As for whether or not to come out, and when to come out, that is a matter for the future. Let’s wait until we have caught enough fish!
But Li Qiushui and others were obviously excited.
The fifth-grade mathematics textbook alone is a struggle for them, and it is easy to imagine that there are so many more to come.
Xu Wenchang couldn't help but praise: "Your Majesty, the Fourth Highness is really a man of heaven. Your Majesty, this is the blessing of my great separation. If this teaching system is really established, the Tianli Academy of Wu Dynasty will not be worth mentioning at all."
"Not bad! Moreover, the exquisite pinyin allows enlightened children to recognize all words in a short time. As long as the books contain pinyin, it will not affect reading and greatly shorten the literacy process."
"Your Majesty, this is not only beneficial to the country and the people, it is a great cause that will last forever and is destined to go down in history."
"..."
All the ministers were excited.
Zhu Tianzheng was a little confused. As the leader of a country, he naturally knew that this thing was useful.
I was just not sure how much impact it would have, so I called in people from the Hanlin Academy and the Imperial College.
As a result, these people's reaction completely exceeded his expectations.
go down in history?
This is too exaggerated!
But if you think about it carefully, this seems to be a reform of the entire education system. It may not be an exaggeration to say that it will go down in history.
"Your Majesty, the Hanlin Academy must be responsible for this matter. It is the responsibility of the Hanlin Academy and it is unshirkable."
"The Imperial College is the highest academic institution in the imperial court, so it should be the Imperial College's responsibility."
"Absurd! Jixia Academy has been doing this all along, and now you want to get involved?"
"..."
While Zhu Tianzheng was still thinking, the Hanlin Academy, the Imperial College and the Jixia Academy were already arguing.
