"I am worried about the country and the people, and I am still sighing at midnight. You here are all the best students in Yandi. I think that if you want to take part in the imperial examination, you should not just do it to be an official, but to become a master, right?
Those who come to study in the study are all young students who have not yet entered the officialdom, and they all still hold the sincere grievances of governing the country, settling the family, and bringing peace to the world.
A student stood up and raised his head and said: "Of course not! I am lying in a lonely village and do not feel sorry for myself. I still want to serve the country. No matter whether I am an official or not, no matter where I am, in this life, I should worry about my country and forget about my family, and sacrifice my life to help those in need." .”
Liu Zhiheng smiled and said: "Since we have to worry about our country and forget our home, and we have to sacrifice our lives to help the people in the world, we can't just talk about worrying about the country and the people, but we must let the tillers have their fields and the residents have their houses."
An Le sneered: "I thought you were so capable, but it's easy for you to say it. It's a pity that national affairs cannot be solved with a few empty words in the study."
Liu Zhiheng ignored her and looked at a student sitting in the first row.
"If I remember correctly, your name is Dai Chunshan, right? You are a student of Tianfu Academy, and your father is the Minister of Household Affairs. He is in charge of the money and food of the entire Great Xia Dynasty. I think you must know how much fertile land the imperial court has. ?
"Of course I know this. Our government has a total of four million hectares of land that can be cultivated."
"Okay, how much uncultivable land is there?"
"This...I don't know about this, but the fertile fields in this world are limited. Most of them are bitter soil and dry land. There are many fields that can't even be harvested even after hard work."
"If you mastered the method of turning salty, bitter soil and water-deficient dry land into fertile land, how much more fertile land do you think our Great Xia Dynasty would be able to produce?
Liu Zhiheng's words directly shocked the whole study. Everyone was talking excitedly at the same time, a little excited and a little unbelievable.
"Master? Can you really turn bitter soil into fertile farmland?"
"Of course, that's what you came here to learn. Of course, it's not just these. There are floods in the south every year. When it's serious, thousands of miles of fertile fields will be inundated by floods, farmland will be destroyed, and houses will be washed away. Because of the secondary consequences caused by natural disasters and disasters, Countless people have died in the disaster, don’t you want to change all this?”
…
"Not only that, if you know how to build water conservancy projects, you can store water and allocate water sources reasonably, so that there will be no shortage of water when it doesn't rain, and you can control floods and prevent droughts."
…
"Da Xia wants to give a lot of silver to Bei Yi and Bei Liao in the north every year to buy short-term peace. Are you willing to let your country be inferior to others? What we fight in war is to provide logistical support. If we have more Iron ore, better weapons, and endless food, can we drive away the barbarians who kill my people at the border every year?"
…
"Now tell me, is this astronomy and geography useful?"
Everyone was a little excited. In fact, Anle was also convinced, but she just couldn't bear to admit defeat.
"You said you can do these things if you can?"
"I said, I don't need to prove it to you. If you believe me, stay. If you don't believe me, just leave. If you don't believe me, just leave."
"Will I leave if you want me to?"
Liu Zhiheng laughed again, "The girl does not have the spirit of seeking truth and pragmatism. She is used to judging people by their appearance, and she is unwilling to admit her ignorance. She is afraid that she will not be able to learn astronomy and geography, and she is not suitable to learn such things... Ziyang, send the girl away."
"yes!"
"No need to send it! I will leave by myself!"
An Le was about to leave in a hurry, but was held back by Jiang Liuyun on the side.
Jiang Liuyun quickly bowed to Liu Zhiheng and said, "Please look at my face, layman, and give her a chance."
Jiang Liuyun thought that he and Liu Zhiheng were destined to have a poetry club, and Liu Zhiheng might be able to give Anle a chance.
Unexpectedly, Liu Zhiheng didn't even raise his head, waved his hands and said: "You don't cherish such a good opportunity to study. You don't think about how to get into school yourself, but you think about asking for mercy. I am here to teach, not for you to be friends. It’s her friend’s, so in that case, you can go with her.”
Jiang Liuyun wanted to say something, but Ziyang waved his hand, and the two guards standing outside immediately invited him out.
Ziyang wished that these two people would be driven away by Liu Zhiheng.
Although they were reluctant, Jiang Liuyun and Princess Anle were both decent people, so they had no choice but to grit their teeth and leave.
Princess Anle and Jiang Liuyun were taken outside. Anle was about to curse a few words when he saw two people standing in the corridor.
It's Duan Wu Jiu and Hei Yan.
An Le and Jiang Liuyun looked at Duan Wujiu and felt that he was dressed luxuriously and had an extraordinary bearing. However, they did not connect Duan Wujiu with King Yan at all. After all, they had met several princes in the capital, and how many of the nine princes were there? He was a mediocre man, but the appearance of the man in front of him was unparalleled in the world. I was afraid that no woman could compare to his elegance. I thought he was a child of a noble family and came to study in the study.
There are really outstanding people in Yandi. Jiang Liuyun has not seen an unattractive person all day long.
An Le looked at Duan Wu Jiu and almost forgot to be angry. Are there any such good-looking men in this world?
"Let's go." Jiang Liuyun tugged on Anle's sleeve.
Jiang Liuyun really wanted to stay and listen to the class, but he also knew that if Anle was allowed to leave alone, she might cause some trouble.
Anle said unconvinced: "I have never been kicked out of the house in my life."
"This is the residence of King Yan after all, so don't be presumptuous." Jiang Liuyun was rarely serious.
Anle muttered: "It's just King Yan."
Even so, she still didn't cause trouble and waved her sleeves and left. Jiang Liuyun nodded to Duan Wujiu and left.
After everyone left, Duan Wujiu lowered his head and gave Hei Yan a few instructions.
Black Flame was very frightened, but nodded and went to do it.
Duan Wujiu looked into the study again and saw Liu Zhiheng walking to the desk and sitting down, unhurriedly unfolding the book in his hand.
"Those who are willing to stay can pay homage to Master Lao Shenxing. Those who are unwilling to stay can leave immediately. Every inch of time is worth every inch of money. If you have time to question whether I, the Master, am capable, why not sit down and look at the test papers you did today. "
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. After coming so far, could they really just leave like this? No matter what, you have to listen to the explanation before leaving, right?
Although everyone has never seen the lady, she is a fifty-two-year-old woman. She just looks younger, so it’s okay to salute her, right?
I don’t know who took the lead in writing, but one person went to bow first and said: "Student Fang Xiaotian pays homage to the Master."
Soon everyone bowed down to see the Master one after another, and then took their seats.
Liu Zhiheng glanced at Chun Cao behind him, and Chun Cao immediately handed down the test paper in his hand.
Chuncao has a good memory. He can tell whose name it belongs to as soon as he holds the paper. Although he has never met the students below, he didn't issue any wrong papers.
Everyone saw that the maids around the master were doing things so properly, and they became more convinced of her.
Everyone took the exam paper and saw the red markings on it. When they saw the comments written by the master, the students' faces turned blue and white.
Liu Zhiheng also held the test paper and sighed heavily.
"I have taught many students in my life, and I have to say that you are the worst class I have ever taught!"
