If we say that when many students first took the Jiuzhang Hall entrance exam, even though they were poor, they might have been accustomed to groveling on the surface, but deep down they had an untimely arrogance that the world was turbid but they were the only one who was pure, then, after only three days in Jiuzhang Hall, their arrogance was shattered. Because the things Zhang Shou threw out were really unheard of, and it took time to accept and understand them.
The pace of the lectures was frighteningly fast! At first, they were confident that the pace of one book a day was just right for them, but now they wished it could be slower so that they would have more time to absorb these new systems.
Therefore, when the fat boy Lu Sanlang once again stood up in the lecture hall that morning, no one would intentionally or unintentionally provoke the head of the hall, who was the son of a minister. Facts have proved that Lu Sanlang is indeed qualified to be the head of the hall, and he can answer any questions fluently. And Qi Liang, who came from the countryside, is indeed worthy of being Zhang Shou's earliest student and knows much more than them.
"Have any of you finished the assignment the teacher assigned yesterday?" Hearing the mixed responses, Lu Sanlang instructed Qi Liang to collect some homework. After scanning it, he said in a deep voice, "Those who can squeeze out time to do this first deserve praise. But those who haven't done it don't have to continue, because the teacher has changed his mind."
"The teacher has secured a big project for everyone from the Ordnance Bureau."
Seeing that the twenty or so people below were at first bewildered, and then most of them showed expressions of surprise and joy, he said proudly: "The Arms Bureau has a very complicated fourteen-ring secret box with words, each ring has four words, a total of fifty-six words. These fifty-six words are all from the Thousand Character Classic. What we have to do now is to cooperate with the teacher and try to unlock the secret box..."
When Zhang Shou finished his morning classes at Banshan Hall and was about to go to Jiuzhang Hall to see the progress of Lu Sanlang's "tackling" of the students, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be someone behind him. Turning around, he saw the Third and Fourth Princes following him on foot. He immediately laughed and said, "Why, you still want to go to Jiuzhang Hall to take classes? The progress there is too fast, not suitable for the two princes."
The Third Prince nodded obediently, but the Fourth Prince rushed to say, "Teacher, we are not going to Jiuzhang Hall to take classes for free. Father bought a lot of those books of Grand Tutor Ge, saying that he would study them while teaching us in person! I want to tell you, teacher, that you are going to be promoted!"
Well…
Zhang Shou was a little surprised when he heard the innocent shouting. He looked around subconsciously and saw that the noble students who had not left the room, including Zhang Chen, were almost all staring at him. When he looked outside the Banshan Hall, the people who had not walked far also stopped and looked at him with extremely subtle eyes.
The students in Ruexing Hall who were aiming for the imperial examinations might show some reserve at such times, but the children of noble families in Banshan Hall who were born into prominent families were very sensitive to any word about promotion.
Everyone knows that Zhang Shou has only been a doctor of the Imperial College for a short time, so how can he be promoted again? The most important thing is, if Zhang Shou does not become a doctor of the Imperial College, what will happen to their studies? Can they stop going to school
