"I'm not afraid! If you want to set up your own academy, my grandson, Sun Fan, will be the first to sign up!"
Li Zexuan's very realistic words woke everyone up. Many times, there is a big gap between ideals and reality. As the highest government-run institution of higher learning in the Tang Dynasty, the Imperial College has no doubt about its superiority. In the 360 prefectures and 1,500 counties of Tang Dynasty, how many children from poor families struggled to get in, because for them, entering the Imperial College was equivalent to having half a foot in the official career!
At this time, it is really difficult for these students to give up their bright future in the Imperial College!
But Li Zexuan's profound knowledge and novel and interesting teaching methods deeply attracted them. Even Cheng Chumo, Yu Dongcai and others who dislike learning the most have to admit that they can learn a lot of novel knowledge in Li Zexuan's class. .
This difficult-to-choose "choice question" left many students in a dilemma, and the mathematics hall became quiet again.
But some people don't care about the so-called "future". When most people were meditating and struggling, Sun Zifan was the first to jump out and said loudly.
Li Zexuan said before that if they continue to stay in the School of Arithmetic Science, they will definitely be promoted to the fourth school by the end of the year. He really doesn't care about this at all. He took the initiative to transfer from the School of Arithmetic School to the School of Arithmetic School at the beginning. How could he care more about it than the School of Arithmetic School? What about the lower four schools?
For him, the most important thing when hanging out is to have fun, and the atmosphere of the math school makes him very comfortable. There are no boring fights to get rich, and there are no intrigues. There are only mutual learning, laughter and scolding. He likes to stay here. , and for his father, Sun Fujia, he sent his son to Li Zexuan because he was interested in Li Zexuan's knowledge and wanted his son to come and learn more. It happened that the father and son had the same idea. Sun Zifan So he was the first to stand up and express his intention to hang out with Li Zexuan.
"Tai is also willing to go to sir's academy!"
Li Tai raised his head and smiled.
He was the first among the students in the Mathematical School to know that Li Zexuan wanted to leave the Imperial College and start his own business. He had already made a decision in his mind, so when Li Zexuan told the news, he was not surprised at all, but it made him depressed. Unfortunately, I originally wanted to delay for a while before stepping forward to show my importance, but was overtaken by Sun Zifan.
"Ah~! King Wei actually wants to go!"
"Yeah! This is too crazy!"
What is Li Tai's identity? After hearing his decision, some wavering students couldn't help but whisper below, thinking it was too crazy, but there are things even crazier than this.
"Count me, Old Cheng! Aren't you just a broken Imperial College~? I, Old Cheng, don't care at all! It's better to follow Mr. Li!"
As Li Zexuan's best friend, Cheng Chumo certainly couldn't show weakness and stood up and said loudly.
"Count me in, Li Huairen!"
Li Huairen also stood up. In fact, it didn't matter whether he stood or not. When his father left, he asked him to "hang out" with Li Zexuan. Wherever Li Zexuan went, of course he had to follow him, otherwise when Li Xiaogong came back, he would But there is no good fruit to eat from him.
In addition, he has a good relationship with Cheng Chumo! When he first transferred to the Mathematical School a few days ago, he took extra homework with Cheng Chumo, and he already had the faint intention of becoming Cheng Chumo's younger brother. If the eldest brother wants to go, why should the younger brother not follow?
"Count Qin Huaiyu among them!"
Needless to say, the relationship between the old Qin family and the Li family is as strong as iron. If Qin Huaiyu doesn't come out to support Li Zexuan at this time, Qin Qiong will deal with him after he returns.
"Count me Yu Dong as the only one!"
This guy was also a "top student" in Taixue Academy at the beginning, and he didn't care about his future.
"Count me as the fierce king!"
"Count me Duan Wenbo!"
"Count me Kong Quancun!"
"Count me in..."
.............................
Students continued to stand up and express their opinions, with sonorous and firm voices rising one after another. In just half a quarter of an hour, almost twenty-one students had stood up, but Meng Wenhao, Ke Shiqing, Zeng Ziran, Liu Yan and others in the front row had good results. But the poor children from average families lowered their heads one by one, frowning and gritting their teeth as if they were deep in thought or struggling.
Li Zexuan was a little disappointed, but he really didn't blame these people. The result now is better than what he expected. After all, these children from poor families came to the Imperial College with the responsibility of changing their family's life. In a sense, they no longer live for themselves. They cannot make decisions easily and casually like Cheng Chumo, Sun Zifan and other second-generation officials. They have too many things to worry about. many!
"Hey! Meng Wenhao, sir, you are so kind to you! Why don't you say anything! You are so worthy..."
"shut up!"
This weird situation was easily noticed by others. Sun Zifan was the first to jump out and pointed at Meng Wenhao and said dissatisfiedly. However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by an angry shout from Li Zexuan.
"Sun Zifan, Li Tai, Cheng Chumo, Wang Meng, Yu Dongcai, Duan Wenbo, Kong Quancun, Song Tianyou, Li Huairen, Qin Huaiyu, Guang Gaohan, Jiang Wenchang, Bi Hongyuan, Lou Yanming, Ji Ouyi, Mu Yihan, Gu Ruochen, Yin Shenghao, Si Tingxuan, Hua Yunfan, and Xiao Lanjue, I am very happy that you are willing to give up your great future and follow me to the academy to pursue the truth. However, the fate that each of us carries is different. Just be yourself. You’re not qualified to dictate other people’s choices!”
Li Zexuan said in a deep voice to the twenty-one students who were standing. Then he looked at the students who were sitting with their heads lowered and said softly:
"No matter what choice you make, as your husband, I respect your decision. Whether it is striving for a bright future or pursuing the truth in your hearts, there is no talking about who is right or wrong. What is right and wrong, I and you Waiting for teachers and students, I only hope that you can get the future you want. After many years, as long as you don’t regret it!”
"Don't feel guilty! None of you owe me anything! Besides, it's not like the academy where I am a teacher can't recruit students. There are so many people who want to learn my skills. You all keep your heads down. Are you still Are you sympathizing with me?"
"Sir! That's not the case! Students also want to..."
When Meng Wenhao heard this, he stood up hurriedly and explained to Li Zexuan with a look of shame on his face.
"Haha~! Wen Hao, you don't need to say more, I know what you want to say! You are one of my most valued disciples, and you are also very talented in arithmetic. After I leave, I hope you can continue to study hard. Arithmetic is just a subject. There is no end, you have only scratched the surface now! Once a teacher, always a teacher! If you have any questions in the future, you can come to see me at Yanhuang Academy on the eastern outskirts of Chang'an City!"
Li Zexuan waved his hand and smiled.
Once a teacher, always a teacher! !
"gentlemen!!"
Meng Wenhao was greatly touched, and he shouted with red eyes. He wanted to say something, but couldn't.
"Okay! Let's go as a teacher! Everyone, see you at Yanhuang Academy in September this year!! If other students change their minds, I welcome you as a teacher!! Finally, I want to give you a word, Yanhuang Academy, where I am a teacher, may not be the same in the future. Worse than the Imperial College! If you believe it, you will have it, if you don’t believe it, you will have none! Choosing Yanhuang Academy does not mean giving up on your future. It just depends on whether you have the guts to take a gamble. You will see for yourself in three years!"
Li Zexuan smiled meaningfully, waved his sleeves, and left without taking away any clouds!
The more than forty students in the Mathematical School, whether standing or sitting, were all staring in the direction of Li Zexuan when he was a child, in a daze. After a while, Li Tai broke the silence and said: "Okay! Let the class be over! The teacher is gone, what are you still doing?"
After that, he packed up the things on the table, stood up and came to Meng Wenhao's side, whispering: "Wenhao! You pack up and follow me!"
