The servants of Li's mansion were very diligent today, they were woken up by the butler before dawn to be busy, even the pillars outside were wiped spotless.
There is a guest coming to the house, and it is a very important guest. They all knew about it a few days ago. In order to welcome this guest, the Sir not only asked them to tidy up a yard specially, but also asked them to Harsh to the extreme, fortunately, although she did not suffer less scolding, her salary has more than doubled, and the harsher the scolding, the more fierce the increase. Now which maid in the house has the most money, just look at who has been scolded the most by the lord That's it.
It was Qixi Festival yesterday, and today the lord entered the palace early in the morning. The maidservants of Li's mansion were naturally curious, who is going to come to the house
…
…
Li Yi has actually been in a good mood these days, especially when holding Xiao Yongning, that kind of intimacy that comes from the soul is something that no one in this world can give.
Today is the day to make an appointment with the old emperor, he could have waited at home for the palace to send Yongning over, but when he saw the old face of old man Chang at the door of his house, he knew that he was going to enter the palace again.
The early court of the Lizheng Palace was not over yet, and Chang De took him directly to the Qinzheng Palace.
After stepping into the gate of the palace, he found that he was not the only one inside, Li Xuan was there, and there were a few people who looked familiar. Looking carefully, it turned out to be Guozijian Jijiu and several doctors of mathematics.
"Uncle Li County."
Li Xuan didn't greet him first, but the Guozijian people seemed to be very familiar with him, and they all smiled and cupped their hands.
"Good morning, everyone!" Li Yi clasped his fists casually, and walked towards Li Xuan.
Guozijian Jijiu hurriedly chased after two steps, and said: "I don't know when Mr. Li will start the arithmetic class again. The doctor of Guozijian's arithmetic can go to sit in and learn the new arithmetic method..."
Several doctors nodded. His Majesty made a decree last time, but all the students of the Imperial College must learn new mathematics, but the problem is that the doctor who is in charge of teaching them has only a half-knowledge about it...
These days, several Ph.Ds in mathematics from the Guozijian have gone crazy. They are afraid that the court will have something for them to calculate. It can be forgiven once or twice. Whether the head can stay on the neck safely is another matter.
"I haven't been free in the past few months, let's talk about it after the year..."
The faces of the Guozijian Jijiu twitched, and the faces of several doctors of mathematics were terrified. After the year...
In five months, anything can happen, and it is not certain whether they will be able to see this County Uncle Li at that time, but they can't wait another day!
"What's the matter this time?" Li Yi ignored the people from the Imperial College and walked over to ask.
Li Xuan shook his head and said, "I don't know, I was also called into the palace early in the morning."
Li Yi frowned, and instinctively told him that trouble was coming...
After waiting for a quarter of an hour in the Palace of Qinzheng, the old emperor arrived late.
His condition seems to have been stabilized these days, and his complexion looks good. In all fairness, Li Yi hopes that the old emperor can live a few more years, and he can live a stable life for a few more years.
"I asked you to come here today because there is an important matter. I have thought about it for a long time, and I still plan to let you do it." After Emperor Jing sat down, he said straight to the point.
When he was talking, he was looking at Li Yi and Li Xuan.
"A few days ago, regarding the chessboard and rice, I and many courtiers almost fell into the trap of the envoys of the Qi State. Before that, the King of Jin used a new arithmetic method to save more than ten thousand taels of silver for the treasury." Emperor Jing said on his face. Showing a thoughtful look, he said: "Since then, I have discovered that the art of arithmetic is really unpredictable, and its importance is no less than that of governing the country and the people..."
The Doctor of Computing of the Imperial College was ashamed when he heard it. Your Majesty's words are simply slapping them in the face!
Li Yi was a little surprised. The old emperor actually had such insights. Technology is the primary productive force, and mathematics is the queen of science. After hundreds or thousands of years, people will understand this truth, although the level of mathematics in this era , is still far from realizing this point, but if the basic mathematics is played to the extreme, it is enough to make Jingguo take a big step forward.
"Therefore, I plan to set up a School of Mathematical Sciences in addition to the Imperial College, with Li Yi, Bo Li Yi of Chang'an County, as the supervisor. In addition to the Ph. The superintendent can make his own decisions."
"Count it as a college?" Li Yi was startled when he heard the words, isn't it, is it going to be so big this time
"In addition to the School of Mathematical Sciences, which is independent of the Ministry of Industry, there will be an Academy of Sciences." Emperor Jing glanced at Li Xuan, thinking of what he called "science", and said: "Supervisor Li Xuan, regarding the two colleges, I will Let the Ministry of Industry seize the time to supervise the construction."
Surprised expression appeared on Li Xuan's face, and he presented all the things that he summoned those strange folks to come up with a few days ago, but he never got a response, thinking that Uncle Huang had long forgotten, but the surprise at this moment is a bit big .
The supervisor of the Academy of Sciences is much more interesting than the inspector of Gyeonggi Province. Doesn't it mean that in the future, they can justifiably tinker with those things
Although what Emperor Jing said is very good and right, the establishment of the School of Mathematical Sciences and the Academy of Sciences is a pioneering feat of Jingguo. If the School of Mathematical Sciences is merged into the Academy of Sciences, the Academy of Sciences will also add the School of Agriculture, the School of Military Affairs, the School of Medicine, and the School of Life Sciences ——This great emperor will definitely be remembered by history in the future.
For an ancient man, it is very rare to be able to do this, but—he really doesn't want to be a prison supervisor!
One person can teach so many students without being exhausted. You need to recruit more teachers. Doctors in mathematics from the Imperial College are not bad, but the rigid thinking has not been reversed. A few words are not a big problem.
There is also Jin Wang, although he is young, but it is not in the way. This kid is born to be good at mathematics, so he can't let it go. If he didn't have a cheating device, he might have been crushed by him...
"Master Li, this is the list of students of the Computing Academy." Chang De handed a long memorial to Li Yi, even changing the name.
The list has been drawn up, it seems that Emperor Jing never thought about asking for his own consent, did he agree to force it, did you have any jokes
The memorial was as long as his arm, and it was densely filled with names. Li Yi glanced at it and frowned slightly.
"Your Majesty, this list... I'm afraid it won't work."
"Why not?" Emperor Jing looked at him suspiciously.
Most of these people were selected from the rich and powerful and officials. If he hadn't insisted on recruiting 30% of the poor students, I am afraid that all of the hundred places would be occupied by them.
Anyone can see that the imperial court attaches great importance to the School of Mathematical Sciences, which means that it is almost a blessed place for promotion. Whether it is a noble or a courtier, who doesn't want to put their own people in it
"I forgot to bring a small notebook..." Li Yi touched the sleeves at his waist, and said a little depressed.
"What?" The doubts on Emperor Jing's face became more intense.
"It's nothing..." Li Yi raised his head and said with a straight face: "Your Majesty doesn't know something, and doing arithmetic is the same as writing poetry and playing chess. It also pays attention to a talent. A person with extraordinary talent is extremely profound knowledge. Being able to comprehend it in a short period of time is like His Royal Highness King Jin, but there are also some people who do not have the talent for arithmetic, no matter how hard they work, they will not achieve much in their lives."
Emperor Jing nodded. Although he didn't know much about the new mathematics, what Li Yi said just now is applicable everywhere. Any one should pay attention to a talent.
General Xue couldn't write beautiful articles, and Prime Minister Qin didn't know how to lead troops to fight, but in fact, when they were young, the education they received was the same, and it was nothing more than talent.
"That makes sense, so in your opinion, how should you screen the students of the college?" Emperor Jing agreed with Li Yi's opinion, looking at him and asked.
Li Yi smiled and said, "It's simple..."
