Chapter 61: The Night Talk between Master and Disciple
In the evening, Wang Shimao and his family held a grand welcome banquet for Zhao Hao in Yanshan Garden.
At the banquet, Zhao Hao met Wang Shimao's nephew and son. Although they were still young, they were all talented and beautiful.
The eldest of them, Wang Shiqi, is already twelve years old, and will pass the exam for Yingtian Prefecture Jieyuan in another fourteen years.
But Wang Shizhen was not here, and he couldn't rashly abduct other people's children, so he had to swallow his saliva and talk about it later.
It was already the third day after the dinner, and Zhao Hao was arranged to stay at Tingyuxuan next to the Peony Garden.
The lights outside the building are brightly illuminated, illuminating a pool of clear water in front of the pavilion. I saw lotus flowers planted in the pond, and more than a dozen kinds of flowers and trees such as bananas, green bamboos, hydrangeas, peonies, etc. Beside the pond, the raindrops fall on different plants, and you can hear the sound of rain with unique interests, and the realm is wonderful.
Ma Xianglan and Qiaoqiao sat side by side on the bamboo bench under the eaves of the corridor. Listening to the sound of rain, they fell asleep unknowingly as they waited for Zhao Hao to come back.
Zhao Hao felt warm in his heart, why did he take them out?
Because I feel like home wherever I go.
He walked over lightly, still awakening Ma Xianglan.
She quickly rubbed her confused peach blossom eyes and stood up.
"I'm back, the bath water is cold."
"Then it's hotter." Qiaoqiao said casually, then opened her eyes and saw that Zhao Hao had already stood in front of her, and she felt embarrassed to stick out her tongue.
"Oh, you're back, I'll go boil water."
"Just make do with it." Zhao Hao smiled and pointed to the corner of his mouth. "I rarely meet my apprentice, and I will have a long talk tonight."
Qiaoqiao hurriedly reached out and touched the corner of her mouth, and found a strand of black hair stuck to her lips. She quickly turned around and went in with shame.
Seeing this, Ma Xianglan sighed inwardly, "Young Master who is unaware of it..."
~~
The two girls lit incense in Xuanzhong Study, brewed fragrant tea, arranged fruit refreshments, and then went upstairs to go to bed.
Zhao Hao took advantage of this skill to cool off with the warm bath water and change into a loose and breathable silk dress.
When he returned to the study wearing his shoes, Hua Shuyang had already brought Jin Xuezeng and Yu Shensi in.
"Master." The three of them quickly stood up to greet them.
"Where is General Wang?" Zhao Hao looked around and didn't see the purple beard.
"General Wang is so sleepy that he goes back to sleep." Jin Xuezeng replied: "Just tell him what's wrong tomorrow."
"Well, that's fine, let's just do it." Zhao Hao said in his heart. General Wang looked at the thick lines, but he didn't expect his heart to be quite delicate.
He sat down in the chair, sighed comfortably, and asked habitually: "How are you doing your homework?"
"Return to Master, "Conic Curve" is much more difficult than "Geometry Originals"." Jin Xuezeng and Yu Shensi, two disciples with great mathematics, smiled bitterly:
"If it weren't for the second senior brother, we would probably have not even finished the first chapter."
"That is to say, you have learned it to the second chapter..." Mr. Zhao's mouth twitched secretly. It's only been a month since he was a full blown...
"The second chapter has been completed." Hua Shuyang said with a depressed expression: "But the third volume is a bit difficult. The trajectory is three-dimensional, which is different from the previous concept. I can only understand it roughly. It will take some time to fully understand it."
In other words, the third volume is almost done?
The "Conic Curve" has only seven chapters in total. From this point of view, if you can't stand the flood season, you will have to have a glorious graduation.
Mr. Zhao felt a whine in his heart, and he shouldn't have taught a math person surnamed Hua! That's asking for trouble.
Today, Japan plans to tell his disciples that the mathematical methods in this book are outdated. They only need to have a rough understanding to learn "The Principles of Mathematical Sciences" by themselves.
But after asking, I realized that the so-called difficulty and ease are really just a relative concept.
What you think is difficult is not necessarily difficult for others.
He then changed his words with a fake smile: "Then think about it more. It's not bad to understand it thoroughly... This volume is the key to learning that book."
"Yes, Master." The three disciples nodded together, and all said excitedly: "It is really exciting to solve this problem!"
"It's great." Mr. Zhao held back his tears and said to Jin Xuezeng and Yu Shensi: "Don't just be addicted to learning, you must first focus on Chongming."
"Yes, Master." The two of them nodded quickly.
Zhao Hao was afraid that Jin Xuezhe would not be able to stand alone in Chongming, so he asked Yu Shensi to be a dog-headed military advisor. In this way, the martial arts were Wang Rulong, the literary arts were Yu Shensi, and the right-hand man helped him, so the career of the island owner of Jin Arches should not be a big problem.
"By the way, have you visited Suzhou Prefecture to visit the pier?" Zhao Hao picked up the teacup and blew the heat.
"I went yesterday." Jin Xuezeng nodded and said a little annoyed: "Prince Cai didn't take me seriously at all. The first sentence is that the court actually sent two newcomers to be magistrates, which is really a mess."
"He just talks bad things about my father behind his back." Zhao Hao blew off his mom and said distractedly: "I dare not meet him in the face."
"I guess I'm afraid of being beaten by my master." Jin Xuezeng laughed and said, "After knowing that I am a new Jinshi, I don't ask, 'The master really beat the little master'?"
"What kind of shit is Xu Fan? Now he is our junior brother." Yu Shensi corrected angrily.
"Just understand the meaning." Jin Xuezeng had no choice but to look at his master, worried about the next three years.
Oh yes, it was two years. Because Yu Shensi was going back to Shandong for the provincial examination... Fortunately, it was okay.
~~
"His second sentence is, fortunately Chongming Island is already a mess, so I'll just go and do whatever I want..." Jin Xuezeng complained to his master again: "Master, listen, is this human word?"
"The words are not nice, but that's the reason." Zhao Hao smiled and said to his seventh disciple: "I heard that your county government has collapsed?"
"Hehe, it seems like this is happening." Jin Xuezeng scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "It's not once or twice, it's no big deal."
"That's true." Zhao Hao nodded. He liked the optimism of Golden Monkey, or heartlessness.
Chongming Island was still very young at this time, and it was far from the third largest island in the country four hundred years later.
During the Tang Dynasty, two sandbanks rose at the estuary of the Yangtze River forty miles north of Taicang, which was the predecessor of Chongming Island.
After that, the Yangtze River continued to carry rolling mud and sand, and new sandbanks continued to rise, and then the sandbanks gradually connected to form three major sand islands, namely Dongsha, Xisha and Nansha.
At that time, the largest salt farm in the country was located here. The Song Dynasty named it the Tianci Salt Farm. Because Chongming was rich in population and prosperous in business, it was upgraded to a state in the Yuan Dynasty.
However, in this dynasty, the court imposed a severe maritime ban, and Chongming suffered a devastating blow. Not only was it downgraded to a county, but also because of the changes in the river tide, the originally superior salt fields collapsed very little. Yanding also took advantage of the Japanese siege to escape into the mainland, and he never returned after the victory in the fight against the Japanese.
Finally, last year, the first year of Longqing, the court abolished the 350-year-old Tianci salt farm. A large number of officials and their families withdrew.
The island's population is already ten...
