The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 777

[Chapter 777 Arithmetic]

The scholars thought this way and began to discuss in a low voice.

After about half a stick of incense, it gradually became quiet.

Fang Xiu stood aside and watched this scene silently, without saying a word or disturbing them.

After a while, the leading scholar finally made up his mind and said: “Okay, Xin’an Hou, the students hope to discuss the content, rules, and location of the competition with you.”

There is nothing to say, Fang This time, Xio plans to convince these guys.

Therefore, I didn’t say anything, I just waved my hand and said one word: “Okay!”

After determining the basic theme, the following things became relatively simple.

The location is very simple, just at the auction next to Baolefang.

The main hall of the auction is large enough for ten candidates to answer questions together, and the view is relatively wide and the location is relatively spacious, so there will be no possibility of cheating.

The rules are also very simple. Five people will be selected among the scholars, and five people will be selected by the students of Fangxiu Academy.

The content of the first competition was arithmetic. The adults from the Imperial College of Computer Science set questions and gave them to ten people to answer. The one with the higher score won.

As for the content of the subsequent competition, it has not been determined so far.

The reason is very simple. Neither knowledge of law nor medicine is what scholars are good at, and none of the students at Fangxiu Academy have ever studied it.

The Six Arts of the Gentleman

are like archery, calligraphy and painting, and they require the accumulation of age and time.

Even if some of the scholars were able to defeat the students of these academies, it would still seem a bit weak.

Naturally, these scholars, who hold themselves to be gentlemen, are unwilling to do this.

Therefore, let’s try arithmetic first.

Of course, in the eyes of these scholars, it is impossible for these children to beat themselves just by trying arithmetic.

Things will be much simpler after that!

From the changes in the imperial examination, it can be clearly seen that the Marquis of Xin’an highly respected arithmetic.

In the subject of arithmetic, the students of the academy failed miserably, so is there any need to compete next?

With these thoughts in mind, these scholars gradually dispersed.

Although Xin’anhou suffers from a brain disease, he often does things that are incomprehensible.

But there is one thing that everyone can rest assured about.

That is Xin’anhou’s promise!

From the current point of view, as long as it is something promised by Xin’anhou, it seems that there is nothing that cannot be done!

Not to mention the Shenji Camp or the Zhuxuan Zhai, it is the strategy of integrating the land and the Ding into one.

So many people are not optimistic about Xin’an Hou’s situation.

If this is the case, then the changes in the imperial examination should be nothing.

There is no problem with Fang Xiu.

The location and content of the competition have been determined.

The next time was to select some students who were better at arithmetic.

Other than that, there’s nothing else to worry about.

What’s more, he only said that he would not consider taking the imperial examination now, but he did not say that it was certain.

The imperial examination

must be changed.

As for how to change, we really need to think carefully about it.

It’s not a small thing after all.

Fang Xiu thought this and turned back to his courtyard.

Xiu’er and several other little maids were still sitting around the table, playing three-person mahjong.

After Fang Xiu read it, a smile appeared on his face, he sat down and said happily: “Come on, let’s continue!”

The scholars wanted to compete with the students of the new academy to learn

the news, and it took only one day to spread the news. All over Kyoto Prefecture.

Zhuxuanzhai did not deliberately conceal the news.

The news even appeared on the front page of the day.

When the people of Kyoto Prefecture saw it, they naturally found it extremely interesting.

Thousands of scholars went to the imperial palace that day, and later to the Fang Mansion.

They all saw this scene.

At that time, they were curious about what happened.

What on earth are these scholars going to do?

How should Xin’anhou respond?

Unexpectedly, news of the competition appeared the next day.

I have to say that Xin’anhou is indeed generous.

If it were me, I would definitely not agree to the requests of these scholars.

After all, these scholars all read poetry and books. Although they read the Four Books and Five Classics, they had not never read some miscellaneous books.

For example, most scholars have read the Sutra.

Many of the students in the new academies come from poor families and may have just learned to read. Although there are special arithmetic courses in the curriculum, how can they compare with those scholars?

In the end, isn’t it still a loss?

This competition was completely unfair from the beginning!

Those scholars were clearly using the big to bully the small.

The people thought so.

The scholars

thought so too.

They knew that this was indeed unfair to the children in the new academy.

But so what?

Compared with the imperial examination, what are these?

Not to mention sacrificing their reputation is sacrificing their lives. If the imperial examination can be preserved, there is nothing to say!

The scholars thought so.

In the new college, the students seemed extremely excited.

At this moment, we are in Fangxiu Academy of Arts and Sciences, the first new-style academy in Kyoto Prefecture.

Many children gathered together and discussed this issue enthusiastically.

“Have you heard? The Marquis of Xin’an wants to select people from among us to compete with those scholars!”

“What is the competition?”

“Of course it’s a competition for learning. A competition for the Four Books and Five Classics. Can you beat them?”

” It seems that we may not be able to compete with him in arithmetic.”

“That’s different!”

“It’s indeed different. If nothing else, the scholar in our inn can’t compete with us in arithmetic!”

Chen Zhaodi looked around with a very serious expression. Firm, and at the same time, firm and confident.

When the people around heard this, they all nodded in agreement.

“Zhao Di is the best one in arithmetic in our academy. If Xin’an is a candidate, Zhao Di should have a chance, right?”

“Not necessarily, we are too young and have read too few arithmetic classics. If you ask me, Xinan Hou will probably choose people from Fangxiu Polytechnic College.

I heard that the students in that Polytechnic College are all talented people who were previously unsuccessful. They are not only proficient in arithmetic, but also proficient in various engineering industries.

” “Engineering” “Yes, engineering! So

if

Xin’an Hou chooses someone, he must choose someone from the Polytechnic Academy.”

You know, he is almost better than Mr. Zhao!”

Zhao Hao stood beside Chen Zhaodi, looked around and said loudly.

When Chen Zhaodi heard this, he didn’t know what he thought of. He glanced at Zhao Hao and said nothing.

At this time, a voice suddenly came from not far away.

“Sir is here!”
