Mr. Huang's face is not good-looking, but he recorded the results, and he has also turned over the test paper. Although he is not good at math, he can distinguish right from wrong by reading the method, so there is no objection.

   Math is different from other subjects, right is right, wrong is wrong, and there will be no disputes.

  Twelve teachers were standing on it, the boys couldn't believe it anymore, and the girls cheered after being stunned for a while.

   The classmates who were surrounded by the outside even rushed to the three girls and surrounded them to congratulate them.

  Cui Tong, Wu Yu and Zhong Lian did not expect that they could achieve such a result, and it took a long time for them to come back to their senses.

   The three of them hurriedly pushed aside their classmates and respectfully saluted Li Baolu, "Thank you Mr. Li for your teaching in the past. The students will not slack off in the future, and make persistent efforts in order to make further progress."

  Li Baolu nodded slightly and said with a smile, "You guys are doing very well. I hope you will not be complacent and study more attentively."

  Li Baolu paused and said: "The study of arithmetic is extensive and profound, and there are still many things to learn, and even if we have already learned the existing arithmetic, we should study more profound things."

"Most of the existing alchemy scriptures are preserved from the study of the ancient sages. After the Sui and Tang dynasties, arithmetic progress has been slow, and it is difficult to progress." Li Baolu said these words not only to the three girls in front of him, but also to all the students present, "The ancestors gave We have left treasures, and not only can we not dig out more treasures along the way of our predecessors, but we have left the treasures left by our ancestors in dust. What sorrow and pain should our ancestors be, and whether we can really know in our hearts Shameless?"

  The crowd was silent.

  The venue was silent.

"I know that most of you look down on math and think it's not very useful. After all, there are many examination papers in the imperial examination, and you think that only a few additions and subtractions are enough." Li Baolu glanced at the audience and said, "For ordinary people, these Arithmetic is naturally enough, but do you want to be ordinary people in the future?"

"Household officials have to survey fields, calculate taxes, and estimate income and expenditure. In case of natural disasters and man-made disasters, they have to dispatch money and grain. In wartime, they have to dispatch grain and grass. How can we do the best? Bridges, or even house construction, which palace design does not require mathematics? Besides, the Ministry of Personnel, the high-quality arrangement of manpower, and the assignment of responsibilities also need the knowledge of the classics, not to mention the Ministry of Punishment. The knowledge required to judge a case is the most complicated, and Arithmetic is also very important," Li Baolu raised her head slightly, looked at the male gentlemen who were behind, and said solemnly, "The Analects of Confucius you are studying is teaching you how to be human, and the "University" you are studying is teaching you how to be a human being. "The Doctrine of the Mean" is teaching you to be an official. It can be said that the Sinology class is the basis for you to be an official, but you need to add other knowledge to do things on the basis. For example, arithmetic, agriculture, law, etc."

"It's not surprising that the women's school came out on top in the math competition this time. Even if they can't surpass you this time, there will be times when they can surpass you. Your learning attitude is different." Li Baolu said: " The students in your boys’ college only regard arithmetic as a vassal, and only read only the books of sages. Not only arithmetic, but what other subjects besides Chinese studies are worth learning in your heart? But our girls’ college is different.”

Li Baolu raised her chin proudly and said, "Whatever they love in their hearts, they will study hard. And their hearts are fresh and they love a lot. What about you, what do you love? Also, for How much do you love it in your hearts, the Sinology that you try your best to learn?"

   "Mr. Li!" Mr. Huang let out a low voice in disapproval, and gave her a displeased look.

Li Baolu pursed the corners of her mouth and said, "Okay, this math competition is over, did you all come forward and get your exam papers and leave? See where you went wrong, study it yourself first, and then don't understand it later. Discuss with your classmates, and if you don’t understand, ask Mr.

  The girls breathed a sigh of relief. They felt that the atmosphere at the scene was very depressing, making them almost breathless.

  Zhong Lian stepped forward to take her paper, winked at her and said, "Mr. Li, their boys can learn arithmetic and make money for the emperor and make achievements, so what can we girls do?"

  Li Baolu smiled and said, "There are so many things that can be done."

She lowered her head and thought for a while, "It's too big to assign land and acres, calculate taxes and so on, and you have to be an official in the court, so I won't talk about it. But if you are good at math and learning, if you can improve a waterwheel, it will be small. Those who can benefit their own fields and farming, those who are big can benefit the country and the people, maybe they can still be famous in history.”

  Zhong Lian blushed and whispered, "How do you know that I'm tossing a waterwheel, sir?"

  Li Baolu just smiled.

Zhong Lian's mother, Princess Jingyi, and Qin Wenyin are good friends. When she came to visit Qin Wenyin these days, she often complained that Zhong Lian fell in love with woodworking, and was trying to make a windmill model with a knife and a saw all day. It was changed into a waterwheel, and the good embroidery room was turned into a woodworking room, with sawdust and wood blocks everywhere.

  Li Baolu occasionally listened to a sentence or two and wrote it down.

  Zheng Xu, dressed in casual clothes, leaned over to look at the exam paper Shi Wei had just borrowed. After a while, he got dizzy and raised his head and said, "The math problems from your academy are too difficult."

Shi Wei put away the test paper and asked for a beating with his hands behind his back: "It's so-so, isn't the imperial examination to increase the weight of math and learning? Our academy is also planning ahead. "

   Zheng Xu pouted, "I remember that your math is not very good, right? If you do this test, how many questions can you answer?"

   "Small meaning, it's just a few math problems..."

   Zhao Ning couldn't help laughing out loud, turned him an elbow and said, "Okay, Brother Zheng is not an outsider, why do you hide it from him?"

  Shi Wei changed the topic and said, "I can make 30% to 40%."

   Zheng Xu burst into laughter, "You're not better than me."

  Shi Wei snorted: "Is it better than you, but I have good teachers and good friends. As long as I am not careful, I can surpass you in a few days. As for you, I remember that your academy does not have a gentleman who is good at math."

  Shi Wei rolled his eyes and said, "By the way, isn't your academy also having a game today, why don't you stay in your own academy and come to us?"

   Zheng Xu was stumped, when he was willing to come, it wasn't his sister who transferred here, she has a lot of competitions today, and last night specially told him to come over today to cheer her up,

  If he dared not come, he might not even be able to enter the gate at night.

Seeing his expression, Shi Wei made a guess, hehe smiled and said, "Your sister transferred to our Qingxi Academy, would you like to come too? In fact, our academy is still very good. At that time, we will have three classes, and we will have a spare time after class. If you have time, you can go to the Gu Mansion with Brother Zhao to ask Mr. Gu for advice. Let me tell you, what does it mean to listen to Mr. Gu’s words rather than read ten years of books…”

   Zheng Xu ignored him, turned his head to Zhao Ning and said, "Brother Zhao, is your master's math really that good?"

Zhao Ning thought for a while and said, "My wife was admitted to the academy to teach with the first grades in arithmetic and history, and she can answer any questions I ask about arithmetic. Do you think her arithmetic is good? That's it. My teachers all said that in mathematics, I am afraid that he is slightly insufficient."

   Zheng Xu touched his chin and said, "How about I let my sister transfer to your wife's class?"

   "Don't think about it," Shi Wei said, "You thought that Qingxi Academy was opened by your family. Mr. Li's Yongmei class has already had two more students, and it is impossible to accept another one."

  Zheng Xu was disappointed, but he also knew that this would be the outcome, so he could only reluctantly turn his head to look at Li Baolu, "Brother Zhao, I will visit you more often if I have nothing to do in the future."

   Zhao Ning frowned, "If you want to ask questions, then you should ask my teacher, why are you staring at my wife?"

Zheng Xu lowered his head and said dejectedly: "I don't understand what your teacher said. I think your wife is a woman, so you must be more careful. Maybe I can understand it? Next year will be the year of the township examination. ."

   Zhao Ning gave him a sympathetic look, "I think the problem-solving method explained by the teacher is clear enough."

  Shi Wei laughed and said, "Brother Zhao, you don't understand, he's missing a string in his mind. If he could answer two questions on the test paper just now, I'll give him his surname."

   Zheng Xu turned to stare at him.

This time, even Zhao Ning couldn't help laughing out loud, and after thinking about it, he said, "It's not too early, my teacher is only invigilating this afternoon, and we'll wait for her to pick up my teacher. Go back, if you have any questions you can ask on the way."

  Zheng Xu breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and bowed to Zhao Ning to the end, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Brother Zhao."

   His math is really not good, because in the past years, there is at most one math question in the township and general examinations, and sometimes there is none, so he doesn't care at all, as long as he has learned "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", where can he learn other arithmetic?

   So when the new policy came out, Zheng Xu was dumbfounded.

   The most important thing is that even if the arithmetic problems were from the first half of "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", even though he had studied the "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", he really only mastered the first half.

  No, it's not mastering, because his father found many questions, which are said to be derived from the first half of "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", and he can solve very few of those questions.

   So difficult, how could it be the first half of the knowledge? Feel like you haven't learned anything at all?

  Although Shi Wei made jokes about Zheng Xu, when Li Baolu came over, he immediately corrected his attitude and helped Zheng Xu to please Li Baolu.

  Li Baolu was stunned by their kind words, and then said happily: "Why are your mouths so sweet today? Come on, what can I help with?"

"My lady has misunderstood us, are we the kind of people who are courteous only when we have something to do?" Shi Wei pushed Zhao Ning aside and walked to her side, and smiled ingratiatingly, "What we said just now was the truth, did you know that? Imposing, you said how can there be such a strange woman like you in this world, not only is she good-looking and knowledgeable, but also has such a strong aura, whoever married you has cultivated great virtue in a previous life, so lucky."

   Zheng Xu kept giving Shi Wei a wink, and seeing that he couldn't see his wink completely flattering, he immediately sighed in his heart.

   A light laughter sounded, "It is true that I cultivated great virtue in my previous life, and I am very fortunate. Thank you Shi Wei for your praise."

  Shi Wei froze, turned his head with a stiff smile, only to realize that Gu Jingyun was standing behind him at some point, while Zhao Ning had lowered his eyebrows and stood aside, very well-behaved.

  Shi Wei stiffly raised his hand to greet Gu Jingyun and whispered, "Mr. Gu, can you pretend you didn't hear anything just now?"

   "Hahaha..." Li Baolu couldn't help but burst into laughter.
