Yu Qian held the sign, raised his head and said to Zhao Shuwen: "I heard that there are twenty-one branches of the Imperial College. Why do you only have seven major and minor subjects here? I want to learn all the subjects. Is there any way?"
Zhao Shuwen's mouth trembled, little guy, he is not a big person, but his tone is not small, seven courses are not enough for you?
Yu Yanzhao was very dissatisfied with Qian's choice, and quickly persuaded him: "Qian'er, it's not about being good at your studies. If it's just superficial, it's better not to study. Too much study will only make you tired and distracted, so you might as well choose less." Door."
Yu Wenming was also very surprised by Qian Qian's move to select all the courses in one go, and waved his hands repeatedly: "Your father is right, what you need in coursework is proficiency. If you blindly pursue broad knowledge, you will fall behind."
Zhao Shuwen said to Qian seriously: "I need to tell you that no matter which subject you study in social studies, as long as you achieve excellence in the annual assessment, including passing the county school assessment, you will receive a reissued scholarship from the imperial court. Although it is not much, only 500 to 50 taels, this honor only belongs to a few people. If you study multiple subjects, it is likely to cause your energy to be scattered. Not only will you lose your scholarship, but you will also lose the possibility of entering the county school. .”
Zhao Shuwen understands this truth, and the Imperial College also understands it, so usually the prison students only choose two secondary courses, of course, except for some perverted and super powerful prison students.
Yu Qian was a little nervous. His grandfather was against it, his father was against it, and his husband was also admonishing him. He looked down at the signs in his arms and said thoughtfully: "Whether one is good at learning or not depends entirely on one's hard work. If you study two subjects and fail If you have free time, why not practice more? It’s just getting up early and going to bed late, it’s just a bit harder.”
Yu Wenming and Yu Yanzhao looked at each other, feeling helpless towards the stronger Yu Qian. This child has been stubborn since he was a child and has a very tough character.
Seeing Yu Qian's insistence, Zhao Shuwen said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. If you feel pressured, you can give up a few courses. Although the threshold for entering the county school is high, it is still okay based on your understanding. Since you enter the social school, then Just go get two sets of county school uniforms.”
Yu Qian saluted Zhao Shuwen and said goodbye to his grandfather and father.
Yu Wenming and Yu Yanzhao were a little reluctant to leave, but they were relieved when they thought that they would come to pick up Yu Qian in the evening.
When Yu Yanzhao saw Zhao Shuwen staring at Yu Qian until he couldn't see him anymore, he asked curiously: "Does Sir care so much about every student?"
Zhao Shuwen smiled heartily: "Not really, it's just that Yu Qian is young and has great ambitions. I just thought about whether this boy will disrupt the Imperial Academy and become a figure in the storm in ten years."
Yu Yanzhao inquired: "Can Guozijian be the leader in learning in the world?"
Zhao Shuwen nodded solemnly, and said seriously to Yan Zhao and Yu Wenming: "The knowledge of the Imperial College is far beyond your imagination. To be honest with you, many wonderful ideas and knowledge are constantly appearing in the Imperial College. Past perceptions and knowledge may not be suitable for the present. In terms of medicine, suturing, anesthesia, and disinfection have become the norm in surgical medicine. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation has been proven to be an excellent medical technique and has saved many lives over the years..."
Yu Yanzhao and Yu Wenming nodded repeatedly as they listened to the Imperial Academy's knowledge.
Zhao Shuwen sighed: "It's a pity that I haven't been studying in the Imperial College long enough. The knowledge there is getting better and better day by day. I heard that a navigation college and an engineering and mechanical college were set up last year. These are all new knowledge. How much money do I have to ask for?" The second textbook, the textbook from the Navigation College was sent, but the Engineering Mechanical Institute refused to send the textbook on the grounds of confidentiality, and I don’t know what they are keeping secret..."
Yu Wenming scratched his beard and said with a smile: "The Imperial College has a good reputation and has gathered countless elites. I heard that the imperial court is closely following the Imperial College when recruiting scholars. There are also some scholars who would rather give up the official positions given by the imperial court and go to the Imperial College to further their studies. Years ago, this was something I didn’t dare to think about in the past.”
Zhao Shuwen nodded solemnly, no, some people passed the Jinshi examination and looked down upon the Imperial College. They went to the Imperial College for a tour and showed off their skills to fight and judge.
Anyone who is ambitious would rather enter the imperial court three years later than go to the Imperial College to study for a period of time and master new knowledge. Three years later, they will be entrusted with important tasks, while those who entered the court directly three years ago are still struggling at the bottom.
"Is that scholarship real?"
Yu Yanzhao asked.
Zhao Shuwen said seriously: "The scholarship is a special fund from the imperial court, so it is naturally true."
Yu Yanzhao shook his head: "What I'm asking about is not the scholarship for social studies, but the scholarship for the Imperial College. I heard that the winner is worth one hundred taels?"
Zhao Shuwen suddenly realized and said with a smile: "Yes, it's one hundred taels. This is still the reward of the branch. If you make a contribution, the court will give you additional rewards, up to a thousand taels. If Yu Qian is dedicated to learning, he will definitely be able to do it one day Enter the Imperial College and get a scholarship."
Yu Yanzhao is looking forward to it. The difference between silver and silver is second. Having the honor of having a scholarship will be good for Yu Qian to enter officialdom in the future. Besides, the Imperial College is a place to make friends, so there will be more or less care...
Yu Wenming was very dissatisfied with Yu Yanzhao. He looked down on the Imperial College and Social Studies before, but now he thinks about Yu Qian going to the Imperial College. He is still a child. Are you thinking too far ahead?
"Please sir, please take your time."
Yu Wenming bowed and said goodbye.
Zhao Shuwen solemnly promised: "Teach and educate people without any reservations. To raise scholars for the country, you should do your best."
Yu Qian put on a dark blue social school uniform and a square hat on his head, looking very energetic.
There were thirty-seven new social studies students, all seven or eight-year-olds, sitting neatly in a classroom that could accommodate forty people. When Yu Qian entered the classroom, he saw that there was still room in front of him, so he sat down directly.
When the gentle young man next to him saw his deskmate, he pulled Yu Qian and said, "My name is Xu Gu."
"Yu Qian."
"Then we are friends."
Xu Gu has a very outgoing personality.
Zhao Shuwen walked into the classroom, and the original noisy sound suddenly disappeared. Xu Gu, Yu Qian and others stood up and saluted: "Disciple has met Mr."
"Everyone is polite, please take a seat."
Zhao Shuwen returned the courtesy and then wrote on the blackboard: "Today is your first day in social studies, so there will be no academic courses. I will only talk about the rules of social studies."
Yu Qian and others were in awe.
Zhao Shuwen said solemnly: "The rules of social studies are not strict, but they are not relaxed either. Come and read every morning, and go home at sunset. There are three classes a day, each class lasts an hour, and there are two rest breaks every month. Every day There will be assessments every month. There is summer vacation in June and July, and the summer exam will be arranged before the summer vacation. The winter vacation will be from mid-November to mid-January, and the winter exam will be arranged before the winter vacation."
"The results of the summer and winter exams are very important and will be recorded in the file, which determines whether you can successfully advance to a higher level of further study. If you have excellent results, you can get a scholarship. The coursework left in the course is usually not allowed to be delayed. . If you are not serious about your studies, the teacher has the right to punish you, slap your palms, stand guard, your choice..."
Yu Qian listened carefully and remembered everything in his heart.
Zhao Shuwen continued: "You can freely arrange your time outside of schoolwork. There will be two Cuju performances every seven days..."
"Cuju? Sir, you mean we can still play Cuju?"
Xu Gu was pleasantly surprised, and other students also stared.
Zhao Shuwen said with a smile: "Of course there is Cuju. What the court needs is not a weak nerd, but a heroic young man full of vigor and vitality. Sitting all day long will inevitably hurt the body. Playing Cuju once or twice can activate the meridians and strengthen the muscles and bones." "
Yu Qian couldn't believe that social studies was so interesting that he actually allowed students to play Cuju.
Then came the distribution of teaching materials.
Xu Gu looked at his stack of books, then turned to look at Yu Qian's stack of books, and reminded: "You can only receive one textbook for one course, and you have received too much."
Yu Qian shook his head: "I didn't get much."
Xu Gu didn't believe it, so he grabbed it, looked at it, and said, "How can you have seven textbooks, while we only have four."
Yu Qian sorted out the textbooks and smelled the aroma of books: "I chose two sub-courses, but of course there are only four textbooks. I chose five sub-courses, and it's not normal to have seven."
"Five, five doors?"
Xu Gu's eyes widened with shock on his face.
The main subjects of Confucianism and Mathematics take up a lot of the course schedule. Learning two more subjects is a bit overwhelming for everyone. But now this Yu Qian has chosen five subjects at once, three more than himself. This, this is simply This is nonsense...
Yu Qian picked up the textbook "The Art of War" and flipped through the first page. Here is the preface written by the Imperial Academy of Military Affairs, explaining the essentials of the art of war. Most of the contents are excerpts from ancient works on the art of war, such as "The Art of War", "Sun Bin's Art of War", "Six Tao", "Wei Liao Zi", "Sima Fa", "Taibai Yin Jing", etc.
But the excerpts here are not pure excerpts. They all have marginal notes by Mr. Guozijian.
Soldiers have no constant momentum, water has no constant shape, and the art of war is by no means a one-size-fits-all approach.
The "Art of War" textbook advocates students to think dialectically about issues and put forward their own opinions and thinking while absorbing the experience of the ancients.
Yu Qian was quickly attracted by the "Art of War". Surprisingly, it also recorded some wars of the Hongwu Dynasty as cases, depicting specific situation maps and terrain maps.
Picking up the pen, Yu Qian also began to deduce on the paper, thinking about who will attack first, how to defend, what the damage will be, where to open the gap, and win in one fell swoop...
Zhang Xuehua stood beside Yu Qian and watched for a long time, but Yu Qian was immersed in his own world without realizing it. He didn't raise his head until he finished performing a battle...
"Report of Qiantang Social Studies: There is a student named Yu Qian. He took five subjects to study in the society, completed the coursework, and became the first person in Qiantang Social Studies. After examination, this boy was quick in thinking, solid in Confucianism, and good at thinking and doing. , is a talent that can be created..."
Zhao Shuwen wrote a letter and arranged for it to be delivered to the capital Yang Shiqi.
Qiantang is not far from Nanjing. Within a few days, Yang Shiqi received the letter. After reading it, he immediately went to Wuying Hall to ask for an audience.
