My years in the Northern Song Dynasty Guozijian

Ye An was ruthless, and naturally achieved certain results.It took me almost a month to memorize half of the Analects through the self-created "point-reading Dafa".The doctor can barely understand what he said here.In addition, Zhu Qian took a docile filly from elsewhere, and his riding and archery lessons gradually got on the right track. Although he was a little tired, he finally gained something.

But this is all for later, the most urgent task now is the math class in front of me.

Under the founding ideology of "emphasizing literature over military affairs", the Song Dynasty paid special attention to "promoting learning", and both government and private schools were very prosperous.

However, mathematics education in the Northern Song Dynasty was ill-fated. After Zhao Kuangyin established the Song Dynasty, he had no time to resume mathematics. It took nearly a hundred years to start preparing for this matter, but it was still in progress.Therefore, Fan Zhongyan and others re-established mathematics this time, and they themselves took great risks.

In mathematics, the most difficult thing is to find a teacher. Just getting the certificate has already turned off a large number of people.In the end, Zhu Qian took Pan Yuanqing to sign up, and finally chose to fill the vacancy for a Ph.D. in mathematics.But even so, this course is still a "rich class".After learning it, at most you can become a petty official, but you may not be able to use the knowledge of mathematics. It is really "the nobles disdain, the poor have nowhere to go".

Faced with such a subject, the people of Guozixue naturally don't pay much attention to it.In the first class, many people were preparing to sleep soundly. It was the afternoon, and the warm sunshine made everyone sleepy.Mathematics textbooks include "Nine Chapters", "Grandson", "Xia Houyang", "Zhou Bi" and so on, so many can be used as pillows!

Presumably the teacher naturally knew that this would be the case. The class bell rang for a long time before Pan Yuanqing came late.Still half asleep and sluggish, he just gave a brief introduction while standing on the podium, and then asked the students to read the questions in the book.

It was rare for the supervisors below to meet such a talkative teacher, and they all winked at what they should do.Ye An listened carefully for a while. Although Pan Yuanqing didn't pay much attention to classroom discipline, his teaching level was quite high.Starting from the basics, all knowledge points are taken care of in simple terms, anyway, he listens with gusto.

"Therefore, let's look at the next question, we..." Pan Yuanqing was slow, and before he could finish speaking, he heard snoring from below.Looking for its source, it was Zhao Zongshu who was sitting in the back row.

Ye An: "..." I told you to snore!

Seeing that the situation was not right, the people next to him hurriedly pushed him awake.Zhao Zongshu rubbed his eyes, still not knowing what was going on in a daze.

After checking the roster, Pan Yuanqing called him up and asked, "Where did you just talk?"

Zhao Zongshu was stunned, he didn't attend the class, he didn't know who to ask.

Frowning slightly, Pan Yuanqing said again: "So, I'll ask you one more question, and you can sit down if you can answer."

"Nowadays there are objects whose number is unknown. Three or three leaves two, five or five leaves three, and seven or seven leaves two. Ask about the geometry of objects."

"Ah?" Zhao Zongshu received a pure liberal arts education at home, and he was not very interested in arithmetic, so he didn't even understand the questions very well, and he scratched his head anxiously.

Ye An sighed, turned around secretly, secretly smirked and thought about giving his brother a hand.Unexpectedly, he has no experience, so that he was discovered.

"Doctor! Ye An helped to cheat!" Li Jia yelled loudly. He happened to be sitting diagonally opposite Ye An and could see everything clearly.Originally, this person and Ye An had always been in harmony with each other, but Fenzhai and Guo Zhonghe were roommates.Guo shot generously, and soon fell under the sugar-coated shells. This time, he consciously caught the handle and asked his elder brother for credit.

Seeing the eyes of the whole class focus on him instantly, Ye Anhao collapsed, is this person a primary school student!It's too tasteless to make a small report with the teacher! ?

"Stupid," Guo Zhonghe said sarcastically, "I said, do you have any brains? Is he worthy?" Now, everyone knows what each student is like.

"What did you say!" Zhao Zongshu blew his hair before Ye An was still alive.

"Isn't it right? He's an idiot, and you're not smart!" Guo Zhonghe continued to increase hatred.

Di Yong secretly rolled up his sleeves, already planning to teach them a lesson.

At this time, Pan Yuanqing said to Ye An abruptly, "Do you know the answer to this question?"

Ye An nodded and said the number 23.

Pan Yuanqing took a deep look at him. This question came from "Sun Tzu's Mathematical Classics". , from one mile. Ask Wei Tian about the geometry”

"Three hectares and 75 mu" Ye An blurted out.

"There is a wall five feet thick...how much do you wear?"

……

Pan Yuanqing asked a dozen more questions one after another.

Some Ye An thought for a while, but most of them answered quickly.

The expressions of the classmates also gradually changed from disapproval to shock, and finally the classroom was completely silent, only the two of them asked and answered.

"Come with me when get out of class is over." Pan Yuanqing remained expressionless, but his tone was obviously light, as if he was in a much better mood.After that, the students were asked to open the book and continue the lecture, but after the passage, everyone could not listen to it at all.

Guo Zhonghe's face flushed red, and he felt like a clown just now, but even if this kind of person was wrong, he would not find the reason on himself, but gave Li Jia a hard look at Li Jia who was the first to speak.

Li Jia wants to cry but has no tears, damn it!It's not easy to be a younger brother!

When the class bell rang, Ye Anyi followed Pan Yuanqing obediently.The Guozijian covers a large area, and doctors have their own small courtyards. For a new teacher like the other party, the place to live must be chosen by others.However, he probably wouldn't care too much...

Ye An finally knew what a "snow cave-like" room was. He saw that the whole room was completely unfurnished, with a bed, a table and chairs and two books.

"Sit down." Pan Yuanqing poured him a glass of water, "I don't have tea here, so I can only drink this."

"It's okay." Ye An smiled awkwardly, and then said a little embarrassedly: "Doctor, I have actually read some of the questions you asked." When he just crossed over, in order to quickly pick up the traditional characters, I bought two books that I was interested in, and at least I finished reading them.

Pan Yuanqing shook his head: "Even so, you have read this book, it is already very good." Then he took out a copy of "Sun Tzu's Mathematical Classics". This book has been handed down to this day, and only three volumes remain.Many things in it seem to be quite old now, even though some people who are well versed in arithmetic have little research on it, Pan Yuanqing thinks it is very valuable.

"Ah? I haven't read this book?" Ye An scratched his head, how could there be any ancient books in such a small place as Zhongmou County.

Pan Yuanqing was slightly stunned: "So, how did you solve it?"

"I just built a coordinate system in my mind, and then I figured it out after thinking about it." Seeing that the other person didn't understand, Ye An realized that the Song Dynasty was still six hundred years away from the proposal of this thing.

So I found a piece of paper and wrote and drew on it: "This was invented by a foreign mathematician named Descartes..."

It is quite difficult to explain modern mathematics to someone who has no foundation at all. Fortunately, the other party has a very deep knowledge of arithmetic, and some simple ones can be understood.

After listening to it all, Pan Yuanqing sighed softly: "Have the Hu people already studied it to this extent?" It seemed a little yearning.

It's not... When it comes to mathematics, China is still world-class at this time, and I'm really bullying people by bringing out great geniuses hundreds of years later.

After carefully collecting Ye An's manuscript, Pan Yuanqing looked directly at him and said, "I am willing to recompile a mathematics book. It not only contains some of my insights over the years, but also the achievements of previous generations. You are willing to join me. "

Ye An hesitated, although in modern times he should help his mentor with everything, but now he has to endorse and take care of outside business, so it may be difficult to spare time.That's all, it's just the kindness of the other party when we first met. Just about to agree, Pan Yuanqing said again: "In this way, you may be a little weak in your studies. I will say hello to the teachers of other subjects. During the exam Add some points appropriately."

"It's a deal!!!"

After that, the two had a brief chat. Seeing that it was getting late, Pan Yuanqing asked him to go back first.Ye An was in a good mood humming a song and returned to the dormitory, and was immediately watched by his roommates. Everyone saw him showing off in math class.Even Fan Chunren admired him very much. He tried to solve the problems at the beginning, but in the end he gave up thinking completely.

The whole house gathered around and blowing rainbow farts to Ye An, making him feel giddy.And when Wang Anshi stopped him for questioning the next day, his complacency reached its peak.

Wang Anshi couldn't see his appearance, and said coldly: "I don't care about other doctors, but here, I get as many points as I should, and I won't give you any points."

Ye An nodded like a quail.

Said so on the surface, but Wang Anshi has changed his opinion of him.After all, he has also seen some people who are seriously partial to subjects. Since this kid can learn arithmetic well, at least it shows that his brain is still useful, so he, a teacher, should teach him well!Thinking of this, Wang Anshi's voice softened a bit: "I'm doing this for your own good. You've heard of a man named Fang Zhongyong..."

"I've heard of it!" Ye An said without thinking.

Wang Anshi: "???" He didn't seem to say anything yet.

He smiled awkwardly, he had recited the full text back then, so he said it subconsciously, so he laughed and said that Jijiu had told them in class.

……Have it?Wang Anshi fell into confusion, and soon he couldn't control so much, and continued: "I mean, since you have this talent, you have to keep it, otherwise you will be wiped out by everyone sooner or later."

Ye An Zheng nodded and thanked the teacher.

……

Living in Guozijian is naturally incomparable to outside. After the short-term freshness passes, it is boring day after day.

If it is true that the biggest difference between Guozijian and modern schools, it must be in the dormitory. The dormitory of Guozijian is not just as simple as a dormitory.You know, Ye An and the others actually have at least four classes a day, and most of the rest of the time is for self-study, and the self-study is arranged in the dormitory.

In other words, the living room at this time is equivalent to a "dorm, study room, library", and students spend two-thirds of their time in the living room every day.Therefore, if the relationship between the roommates is harmonious, it will naturally be laughter and joy, but if the relationship is not harmonious, some will suffer.

As far as Ye An knew, from the time they moved here to the present, the only ones who hadn't had any conflicts in the house were their "Shou Yue Zhai" and Guo Zhonghe's house.Needless to say, keeping promises and fasting, Guo Zhonghe's dormitory was completely suppressed by him with force and money, and no one dared to object.

As for the rest, it is good to form cliques and secretly squeeze out. Some serious and even mobilized are all lawless yamen, and they are all brave and ruthless at the age of madness.

No, two more quarreled in front of the sacrificial wine.

Wang Anshi stared at the two students with swollen noses and swollen faces with a pale face, "So, it's because you snatched up stutterers that you got into this?"

"It's not just because of the food! That bastard Qian Yun has robbed me of food for several days. If I don't beat him, I won't let go of my hatred!" A tall and strong boy said, his name is Qiu Zheng, the only son of Dali Siqing, She was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child, and she is very domineering.

And Qian Yun's family, who was named by him, was not an idler. He rolled his eyes and said, "Joke, is your name written on the dishes? Do you still need your consent?"

"I clearly said that the roasted leg of lamb should be kept for me!"

"Enough!" Wang Anshi couldn't help roaring: "For mere appetite, you fought with your classmates, have you read all the books in the stomach of a dog! Get out of here and be punished."

The two turned around in silence, their expressions obviously a little unconvinced, which made Wang Anshi very angry.But he never expected that this was just the beginning.

In just a few days, there were several quarrels in the prison because of eating. Liang Guan, the prime minister of the Imperial College, would get along with each other. Wang Anshi focused on his studies with one hand and discipline with the other.

Originally, Ye An didn't intend to take care of it, but several times he made a small meal for Shouyue Zhai, and his roommates went out to show off proudly, which caused students from other Zhais to often come to make a living.Going on like this is naturally not an option, so he mustered up the courage and ran to knock on the door of the sacrificial wine.

Wang Anshi was writing a memorial to report the situation to Mr. Fan and the officials, and frowned after hearing the other party's intentions: "You mean, it's the Imperial College's problem that they fight?"

...There must be a reason for this, thinking so in his heart, of course he couldn't say that, Ye An tactfully said: "Students don't mean that, it's just about the school kitchen, other things are naturally irrelevant."

"The kitchen? Could it be that they still want to eat dragon liver and phoenix gall?" Wang Anshi mocked.

To be honest, Guozijian’s food is pretty good, even mutton, and there is never a shortage of leftover fruits and vegetables, but the chef’s skills are really not to be admired.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, wealthy families generally provided their own cooks.Not to mention the high salary of the cook, the most important thing is that she is familiar with most of the ingredients.Nowadays, the chef of Guozijian is not willing to put oil in frying things, and meat in soup. Even if he is given mutton, he will only cook it in this way.The food made can't even catch up with the restaurants outside, which makes the yamen who are used to delicacies from mountains and seas get used to it, so those few who can eat are naturally scrambled for.

Ye An analyzed the matter in detail, Wang Anshi temporarily calmed down his anger, frowned and said hesitantly, "So... are you going to invite two cooks?"

"That's not necessary." What is the price of the cook, they Guozijian has a monthly regulation, how can they afford it.Ye An bowed to Wang Anshi: "If you can trust the students with offering wine, leave this matter to me."

Wang Anshi also knew that this kid often came up with something new, so he nodded: "If that's the case, you will be fully responsible."

Ye An promised that he wasn't idle to make trouble for himself, but it's not a lot to gain favor in front of Mr. Wang in this way, and any fool knows to seize the opportunity!
