Chapter 694 I Come To Compete With Them
"Famous?" Lin Xuan asked in a daze, "Our academy has just been established, so what's the reputation?"
Xu Geng: ...
Xu Geng had no choice but to explain to Lin Xuan when he met a principal who didn't care about the academy.
The matter still has to start from the last time Goudan settled accounts with that cloth village.
The spread of ancient news was very slow, and the matter of dog egg settlement was not widely spread at the beginning.
The owner of the cloth shop has a friend who is also a businessman.
Because of what happened to Boss Buzhuang, he was also a little worried about what his accountant would do.
These businessmen have never read any books. After so many years of business, they can understand the account books, but if the account books have been tampered with, they will be a little blind.
So he found the owner of the cloth shop and wanted him to introduce Goudan to him.
Where did Boss Buzhuang go to find Goudan, he only knew that Goudan was a student of Boyuan Academy.
By the time they found Boyuan Academy, it was already on vacation.
Originally, they had already given up, but they inadvertently found out that a child of a family was also studying in Boyuan Academy. With the mentality of giving it a try, they came to invite the student over.
As a result, the student did not disappoint them. There was no problem with the accountant, but the student found some mistakes in the account book.
The accountant is not very capable, otherwise he wouldn't be working as an accountant in a shop, he just relied on the experience he had learned before.
But a seven or eight-year-old child unexpectedly discovered so many problems, which immediately surprised him. If he was not embarrassed, he would have worshiped that student as his teacher.
One can still be said to be a genius, so what about two?
As time went by, it was found that most of the students in Boyuan Academy were very good at arithmetic.
This matter became more and more mysterious. Not long ago, it was rumored that Boyuan Academy was the No. [-] Academy in the Tang Dynasty.
Many people find it strange, isn't it just an account?As for being so mysterious?
The imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty were very open, and it was not as rigid as the Ming Dynasty and required writing stereotyped essays.
There are more than 50 permanent subjects such as scholar, Mingjing, Jinshi, Junshi, Mingfa, Mingzi, and Mingshu.
That is to say, the imperial examination of arithmetic is required, and Boyuan Academy has only been opened for half a year, and those students were ordinary children who were illiterate before.
In just half a year, he has surpassed those accountants who have been working for decades in arithmetic.
It is not right to say that it exceeds, after all, those accountants have not studied systematically, and they only rely on experience.
But ordinary people don't know.
And this also made other academies hate it.
After all, their academies have been in operation for hundreds of years, or a short period of more than ten years. Now an academy that has been open for half a year has surpassed them in reputation. How can they bear it?
So there's the challenge.
"What do they want to compare? Do they count?" Lin Xuan asked.
Xu Geng smiled wryly and said, "If it's better than math, but they all know that Li Jianzheng is also in Boyuan Academy, how dare they come to us to try math."
Li Chunfeng's accomplishments in mathematics can be regarded as top-notch now, and those people are not stupid, so naturally they don't know how to compare mathematics.
"Not a student ratio?"
Lin Xuan thought it was a comparison between students.
"Of course not. The students in our academy are considered to be better at learning. They just learned how to read characters now. Even if they are better than the students." Xu Geng said.
"That's true, since they want to compare you with them." Lin Xuan said indifferently.
Xu Geng smiled wryly and said, "There are many great Confucians in those colleges. Although the gentlemen and I from the colleges all came from the Imperial Academy, they are still young after all, and are not as good as those great Confucians."
Lin Xuan: ...
Lin Xuan has seen those gentlemen, the younger one is in his 30s, and the older one is in his 40s, do you call this old?
But compared to the great Confucianism Xu Geng said, maybe it can be said that it is not big.
Lin Xuan finally understood that Xu Geng came to him because he couldn't compare.
"It's okay to lose, just try your best."
Lin Xuan thought that Xu Geng was afraid that he would lose face if he lost, so he came in advance to vaccinate him.
"Master Hou, if I were myself, I would be fine if I lost, but now it's in the name of the academy. Once I lose, the impact on the academy will be too great. I'm afraid it will be difficult for the academy to recruit students in the future." Xu Geng said.
Lin Xuan frowned slightly, but he forgot about it.
The reputation of the college is very important, just like those famous schools in later generations.
The greater the reputation, the more people want to go, and the stronger the school's teaching staff, the greater the reputation, it's like a cycle.
Those common people can't tell the difference between good and bad. When the time comes, Mr. Yi Ting can't compare with other academies, so why would they let their children study in Boyuan Academy.
That's right, Boyuan Academy's tuition fees are indeed low, and it also takes care of the meals.
But for those common people, since they can't learn well, they might as well farm at home. Half-year-old children were also relatively important labor force in ancient times.
Except for the people in Zhouzhuang who would send their children here in order to reduce or exempt rent, I'm afraid they won't be able to recruit anyone.
Although the academy is just for fun for Lin Xuan, but if he was shut down like this by others, wouldn't he lose face?
"Can I ask for foreign aid?" Lin Xuan asked.
Xu Geng shook his head and said, "Of course it's not possible. It must be a student of the academy. Although Li Jianzheng is not a student of the academy, he still teaches in the academy and can participate."
Lin Xuan's eyes lit up, and he said, "Then it's simple, I'll go to Dr. Kong to borrow some people, just put a name on it."
"Master Hou, this is feasible, but it's a lie. The gentlemen of the Imperial College will not agree." Xu Geng said.
Literati have the character of a literati, even if they don't, they will pretend to be.
They wouldn't do such an obvious deceitful thing.
This doesn't work, that doesn't work, do you want me to do it?
Well, it's not impossible for him to do it himself, if it's poetry or something, he can do it.
If it is more than writing articles, he will be blinded. After all, he doesn't know much ancient Chinese. If someone asks a topic that he hasn't learned, he can't help it.
"Is the topic of the competition determined?" Lin Xuan asked.
"Not yet. They are writing in the afternoon. They must come up with the topic. They should have prepared it long ago. However, it takes too long to write an article, especially a good article. It should not be compared. It is very likely that it will be compared to some Questions and answers or poetry competitions." Xu Geng guessed.
Lin Xuan nodded, like the imperial examinations are given a few days, because writing an article requires a lot of time to think about ideas.
Although those colleges are well prepared, if they propose to write an article, it will not take long to write a good article, and any fool will know that there is a problem.
Naturally, those colleges would not make such a mistake.
"How many days until the time they said?" Lin Xuan asked.
"Three days."
"Okay, I understand. You go back and prepare well. I will compete with them then." Lin Xuan said.
Since it was Bishi, he had nothing to be afraid of.
When it comes to poetry, who can compare with Lao Li (Li Bai) and Lao Du (Du Fu).
