Chapter 206 Suicide

   Soon, the news that Master Yu was lazy and bad-tempered spread among the major academies in Los Angeles.

   There are also scholars from other academies who came here specifically to shop around, wanting to take the opportunity to see what the rumored Master Yu is like?

  Yu Xiaolian felt that she was inexplicable and became famous overnight.

  There are always three or two scholars at the door of Taotaoju, pretending to pass by, and then peeking into the store.

  Yu Xiaolian who did it read a storybook, and she has the burden of being an idol.

  Well, you have to sit up straight, and you can't lie on the counter without image.

  The book has to be held with one hand, which makes us look elegant.

   Keep your eyes open and read a book.

  They look at their chant, they have to be calm, calm.

  Yu Xiaolian's calm and coercive state lasted for five or six days, and finally broke out one afternoon.

"Hey...you two, if you want to buy something, just come in and buy it. If you don't buy anything, don't wander around the door wretchedly. What are you looking at? What are you looking for? You both have one nose and two eyes, what's so good about it? It's the two of you... why are you staring blankly? Why don't you leave quickly?"

  Really, you can get it just by looking at it, but it looks like it has no head, which made her pretend to hold it for a long time.

   Seeing that Yu Xiaolian was angry, the two scholars ran away in a hurry. The next day, when Yu Xiaolian went to the academy for class, Mr. Ying talked to Yu Xiaolian.

   Said that the matter of her cursing people yesterday had already been spread in various academies, so she should not swear at her in the future and pay attention to her image.

  Yu Xiaolian: "..."

   I regret not swearing anymore!

  If that is considered swearing, then you have never seen what swearing is!

  In the next few days, apart from going to Shuren Academy for classes, Yu Xiaolian would tease Yu Zixuan and Yu Ziqian in the backyard, and hand over Taotaoju to Zhao Erya.

  She is not a monkey in the zoo, you can watch it if you want.

   But I didn't expect that even though she had already learned the basics, there were new rumors about her on the street.

  The reason why Fuzi Yu refused the more favorable conditions of other academies and only wanted to teach in Shuren Academy was because her sweetheart was studying in Shuren Academy.

  Rumors spread all over the place, and some people even claimed to have mastered Yu Xiaolian's big secret, knowing who her sweetheart was, and where he lived.

   Facing these things, Yu Xiaolian has already lazily explained.

  She has a deep understanding of one sentence now-there are many people who are popular.

  On this day, Dean Ying approached Yu Xiaolian and said that Qiu Wei was about to come. Although the students of their academy were eligible to participate, they would also take an internal exam.

  The academy wanted to give some test questions to the students, and asked Yu Xiaolian to come up with two similar math questions based on the test papers from previous years, so that these students could figure it out.

  Yu Xiaolian understood that ancient academies also had a thorough examination.

  She understands, she understands everything, after all, she has experienced it all.

  Dean Ying stroked his beard and said with a smile, "This time, other academies will learn from my school. I have already received souvenirs (gifts) from other deans. When the time comes, there will be two of us, one and half."

  Yu Xiaolian and Dean Ying smiled at each other, showing fox-like smiles together.

  Considering how keen these students are on spreading rumors during this time, Yu Xiaolian decided to give a few more test papers to her idle students.

  Master Ying vacated a room for Yu Xiaolian alone, and then asked someone to bring the hand-copied papers of previous exams to Yu Xiaolian.

   This is the first time Yu Xiaolian has seen Qiu Wei's test questions. The test paper is mainly composed of essays, supplemented by mathematics.

  The entire examination paper is about three meters long, with ten topics in total, covering poetry, poetry, practical writing, historical knowledge, and understanding of Confucianism.

  On the last folding page, Yu Xiaolian found ancient word problems.

   After reading the arithmetic questions in a few test papers, Yu Xiaolian found that the ancient arithmetic questions were very pragmatic.

For example, this question: There are Tianchi basins in all states and counties to measure rainwater, but I know that the water in the basins is the number of rain. I don’t know the amount of rain depending on the type of the pot. Assuming that the diameter of the basin is two feet eight inches, the bottom diameter is one foot two inches, the depth is one foot eight inches, and the depth of the rainwater is nine inches deep.

Another example is this question: The granary was opened to collect grain, and someone sent 1,500 shi of rice. It was found that there was grain in the rice, and a handful of rice was sampled, and it was counted 250 grains, with 30 grains in it. The grain in the batch of rice is about ().

   You can see that the questions asked by others are very close to life, and they are all common knowledge in life.

  Unlike those modern teachers who set up questions for the sake of difficulty, he doesn't care how outrageous the logic of the question is in real life.

  Speaking of which, before the Imperial Examination in Great Liang, there were no math questions, but the reason why there were math questions later was because of fifteen years ago.

  Fifteen years ago, the Tunzhou River was so silted up that the flood could not be vented. The emperor sent Yin Zhong, the Minister of Industry, to Tunzhou County to build water conservancy works.

   Re-dredging the Tunshi River to assist the Yellow River, vent floods, and prevent the occurrence of extraordinary situations.

  However, due to poor calculation skills, the minister of the Ministry of Industry at that time made a serious mistake when releasing the flood, which caused the entire embankment to burst, destroying the official post station and nearly 40,000 private houses.

  Ministry Minister Yin Zhong committed suicide after being severely reprimanded by the emperor for his careless and unrealistic plan for river control.

  Yin Zhong is Fu Yi's classmate and good friend. After Yin Zhong's death, Fu Yi felt very sad, but it was more of a pity, because Yin Zhong was a rare talent, he was just not good at math.

  Fu Yi even complained to the emperor in his heart, why did he have to assign Yin Zhong to the Ministry of Industry?

  Since then, Fu Yi has united with some colleagues to give the emperor an excerpt, requiring all academies to popularize mathematics, and the imperial examination should also test mathematics.

  With the tragic example of Tunzhou County, the emperor also felt that it was necessary to popularize mathematics, so he agreed to the request of Fu Yi and others.

  Yu Xiaolian bit the tip of her pen, and she had to come up with some practical questions.

  Yu Xiaolian was going to go home for lunch when she was so busy in the academy that she had lunch.

When passing by the Zhao Family Escort Bureau, the head of the Zhao Escort stopped Yu Xiaolian, smiled wrinkled, and said, "Master Yu, didn't you say last time that you wanted to find some nursing homes with good skills? There is news, there is If you have time, come in and sit down?"

  Half a month ago, Yu Xiaolian told Biaotou Zhao that he wanted to buy two nursing homes with good skills. At that time, Biaotou Zhao and Yu Xiaolian said that if you want to buy a good nursing home, you should not rush, but take your time.

  Yu Xiaolian thought she would have to wait a month or two before getting any news, but she didn't expect to find a suitable candidate in just half a month.

  The two people recommended by Escort Zhao, one is Li Meng and the other is Li Lie, they are a pair of brothers.

   Li Meng and Li Lie are from Haicheng. They used to work as a nursing home in the home of a rich man. Later, Haicheng was captured by the Mongolian Kingdom. Cao Chengtong wanted to distribute food to the poor people in order to buy people's hearts.

  Where does this food come from? Naturally, they robbed the homes of the rich and landlords.

  The poor and poor people benefited, but the rich and landowners were forced to disperse their wealth overnight.
