A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

"You can also play?" Gu Qing looked at Chu Suiliang.

"Cough, cough, cough!" Chu Suiliang cleared his throat, stood up and left, "The Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China still has a lot of things to deal with, and it's getting late, so I'll take my leave."

"The excuses are so poor." Gu Qing stretched his waist and planned to take another nap.

Xu Jingzong hurried over, "Master Hou, it's a mess outside."

"Quiet, let me sleep for a while." Gu Qing yawned and lay down on the table.

Li Yifu, the governor under the door, heard a large group of officials quarreling non-stop. These people's mouths were full of verbal criticism against Gu Qing, some of them were eating his flesh raw, and some wanted to peel his skin and cramps.

Power ministers are in power, and the court is dark.

Officials from the court and the central government wrote memorials to impeach Gu Qing one after another. For a while, paper was expensive in Chang’an, and the memorials put in the Zhongshu Ministry piled up like a mountain, which had reached the point where a bullock cart was needed to pull them.

In Chang'an, in the residence of Li's family in Zhao County, there are a group of people sitting right now. These people are all big chaebols from Jiang An. These people have very solid family backgrounds and are discussing the maritime trade at the moment.

At the same time in the academy, Li Tai was facing the Shandong gentry from the land of Qilu. There has been a saying in Guanzhong since ancient times that the Guandong came out and the west went out. Offending them too much, it is even more impossible for the academy to become what these gentry said.

"Everyone." Li Tai went on to say: "I understand the meaning of all the seniors, but the academy has established its own rules since its establishment. If you don't want to stay, I won't force you. If you want to leave, I will wait for nature to send it off."

"This Gu Qing is powerful now, and his ambitions are clear! Your Highness the King of Wei, don't be confused." A young boy from the Shandong gentry stood up and said, "Now His Highness the King of Wei is the second person in the Academy, so don't lead the Academy on a wrong path. .”

"What do you mean? Do you want the Academy to draw a clear line from Gu Qing?" Li Tai asked with a smile.

"That's exactly what I mean." The other party nodded.

"Do you have money?" Li Tai asked back, "Can you support such a large academy with money? Even if all the money of your Shandong gentry is used, you can support the academy for how many years."

"What is the relationship between knowledge and money?" He replied to Li Tai, "The gentry has never been short of students, and there is no shortage of scholars! As for the children of ordinary people, it is better to exclude them. As long as these children can read and write, it is a great benefit. , It takes hundreds of years of background knowledge to start a noble family, and some knowledge needs years or even generations of accumulation to integrate the classics and meanings into one's soul."

"I understand what you mean." Li Tai sneered, "You mean that the children of ordinary people are no better than the children of your gentry? If you teach them so much, they won't understand anyway, right? Teaching these poor students Why don't you teach your gentry sons?"

Chapter 622 The Dark Court ([-])

"What does His Royal Highness King Wei think?" the other party also said.

"Then I'll come and talk to you." Li Tai continued, "The students in this academy are also students from poor families, and more than [-]% are from farming families. They understand everything you gentry children can understand. You Do you know how hard they worked to get ahead? Do you know how much hope their parents placed on them? You can be superior, but you can't belittle these poor students, they have worked much harder than you children who were born in luxury."

"His Royal Highness, why are you so stubborn!"

"I'm not obsessed with obsession, it's because your hearts are not enough to swallow the elephant." Li Tai smiled strangely. The purpose of these people is very simple. The academy has become a climate, and it was established from the struggle with the five surnames. This academy There are too many hopes for the students all over the world, and this hope cannot be shattered.

Seeing that the topic fell silent for a while, Li Tai said again, "Then why not, how about you compete with the ordinary students in our academy? Let's see how these poor students are doing."

"can."

Seeing that the other party did not refuse, Li Tai spoke directly to Fang Yi beside him, "Brother Fang, please make arrangements."

Fang Yi left here straight away, and half an hour later he called a child who was only seven or eight years old.

"I've met His Royal Highness King Wei, I've met Teacher Fang, I've met a few older brothers, I've met a few grandpas." The boy bowed to everyone obediently.

"How's your studies going?" Li Tai asked.

The boy took a sensible step forward and replied, "Go back to His Royal Highness King Wei, the boy is studying the Book of Changes with Master Li Chunfeng these days."

"Very good." Li Tai nodded.

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei." Said the gentry boy on the side, "You just asked such a child to compete with us. Could it be that you look down on us!"

"How do you say that?" Li Tai asked suspiciously, "Could it be that you are afraid?"

"His Royal Highness, please explain the rules." The elder of the gentry said.

"It's very simple, you ask the questions first, if the students from our academy can't answer, we lose, and if we win, how about this kid asking the questions?" Li Tai said leisurely.

"Boy, listen carefully." A young gentry boy walked out and said, "Since you are studying the Book of Changes now, then I will ask about the things in the Book of Changes, what is Liujia in the book of changes? .”

A group of elders shook their heads. The Book of Changes is broad and profound, and how many great wisdoms of the elders are combined, how could a child understand it.

"I know!" The child said, "Old Master Li Chunfeng said that the four seasons and six qi are used as the guide for prosperity and decline, and the Liujia value talisman is used as the position for judging good and bad. There are four in sixty, and Lianshan begins with the hexagram Gen, which is like a continuous mountain, so it is named Lianshan.”

Seeing the stunned expressions of the group of people, Li Tai was very happy in his heart.

"The reason why I study the Book of Changes with Mr. Li Chunfeng is because I feel that the Book of Changes tells about the Yin and Yang of the world, and the evolution of mathematics in the world. Many of them are related to physics such as Gewu, which is learned in our academy. It is also Mr. Li Chunfeng who finds out the connection. A task for the kid."

"Is his answer correct?" Li Tai watched with a smile.

"..."

"Since you guys don't speak, it's our turn to ask questions. Boy, you ask them questions now."

"Okay!" The boy saluted again and said, "The question the boy gave came from the algorithm of the grandson. Today there are chickens and rabbits in the same cage. There are 35 heads on the top and 94 feet on the bottom. Ask the chickens and rabbits how they are."

The complexions of several young gentry children began to change, and they began to count.

After half a stick of incense, seeing that the other party still hadn't typed it out, the boy urged, "Have you not figured it out yet? You are too stupid."

Everyone: "..."

"Pfft!" Li Tai covered his mouth and waved his hands repeatedly and said to these gentry children, "I'm sorry, I couldn't hold back!"

Everyone's face was livid.

"I'm still in a hurry to go to class. Let me tell you, there are twelve rabbits and 23 chickens." The little boy said, "Since you can't answer the question, I will make another simpler one, 15 chickens. Children, walk in a row of three people once a day, within 7 days, each person is in the same row with other people once and only once, how many ways to walk."

Everyone: "..."

What kind of shit topic is this!The disciples of the gentry have an urge to scold their mothers.

After half an hour...

"Haven't you figured it out yet?" the boy asked again.

"Go back to class first." Li Tai said to the boy.

"Yes!" The little boy said goodbye.

"Children are ignorant, please don't mind." Li Tai repeatedly cupped his hands.

"I'll take my leave." An old man left with a bad face, and a group of people followed suit.

After everyone had left, Li Tai looked at Fang Yizhi, "How did you calculate this, and how do you go?"

"I don't know either." Fang Yizhi whispered to Li Tai, "It is said that Gu Qing has the answer, but I don't know what algorithm it is."

"No matter what, I finally managed it." Li Tai let out a long breath.
