Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 486 Education Textbooks and Confirmation of Teachers
After the New Year's Eve, Li Zhiyun became busy with state affairs again.

The Turkic disaster has already been chartered. After discussing with the courtiers, Li Zhiyun formulated a plan to 'separate' the Turks, and sent people to follow up at all times.

For the rest of the time, Li Zhiyun decided to think about the education of his heirs.

The eldest son, Cheng Jing, is six years old this year. According to the rules for entering school at the age of five, several of his children are about to enter school.

In this regard, Li Zhiyun has some thoughts.

As a latecomer, he naturally didn't want his sons to only know how to read books by rote, so he decided to change the educational textbooks a little.

The first is Chinese, which he will not move for the time being, after all, it is to teach children to read.The second is mathematics, which he will not let go of. Logical thinking ability is very important, and mathematics is the best subject for cultivating logical thinking.

Therefore, he stayed up all night to write a basic tutorial on basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and Arabic numerals.

This kind of workload is completely a piece of cake for him.

Starting from the basic reading and writing of numbers, and then to the arrangement of numbers like tens of millions, as well as basic calculation methods such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, nine-to-nine multiplication tables, vertical calculations, etc.These are all his majors in his previous life, and there is no such thing as forgetting.

For example, the ninety-nine multiplication table, the memory engraved in the depths of the soul, is hard to forget.

However, he couldn't teach in person because he didn't have enough time.Therefore, he asked Li Chunfeng to learn first.

Li Chunfeng has to do the calculations.

This buddy is a mathematician, an astronomer, a scholar and so on.

Previously, Li Chunfeng had mixed with Qin Wang Li Shimin, and later Li Shimin died. Li Chunfeng first resigned from office and returned to his hometown, and then was recalled to the court by Li Zhiyun to work in the Taishi Bureau.

After spending a whole morning, Li Chunfeng, who is talented and intelligent, quickly figured out the basic rules of number calculation and reading and writing.

"How?" Li Zhiyun took a sip of tea.

Just discussing mathematics with Li Chunfeng, he twisted and twisted, and there was no scum left in Li Chunfeng.

There is no way, I learned this in my previous life, how could Li Chunfeng, an 'ancient man', do it better than him.

Moreover, Li Zhiyun taught him Arabic numerals, so he could not be Li Zhiyun's opponent.

"It's amazing." The young Li Chunfeng praised: "The numbers given by His Highness are simply unbelievable. Not only are they easy to read and write, but also paired with His Highness's specific arithmetic symbols, it is simply a groundbreaking move."

Isn't that right, the ancient calculation method is almost based on empty brain calculations, and it can only be done by accumulating experience.

As for Arabic numerals and four arithmetic operations, there are traces to follow.

As long as you know addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division within ten, as well as the ninety-nine multiplication table, and basic vertical calculations, you can handle most calculations.

"I don't know what this number is called? Where did His Highness learn it?" He asked.

Li Zhiyun coughed, "This is an exotic calculation method. I think it looks good. I have made some improvements. From now on, it will be called Tang Numerals."

Hey, so what if you plagiarize, no one asks him for copyright fees anyway.

"I see." Li Chunfeng nodded.

Li Zhiyun instructed: "You get to know these as soon as possible, it will be of great use in the future."

"Yes." Li Chunfeng agreed, and then asked again: "Your Highness, when will you talk to the lower officials about area calculation and auxiliary lines?"

"It won't be too late until you understand the basics first," Li Zhiyun said.

In fact, he didn't say it because it was a huge workload, and it couldn't be finished in a short time.

Mathematics involves so much knowledge that it is unimaginable. Basic area calculations are no more than pediatrics, and there are also problems such as parabolas, functions, equations, etc.

Write it all out, and Li Zhiyun can't handle it in less than half a year.

He has a lot of things to do now, how can he have so much free time to compile mathematics textbooks.Besides, that kind of knowledge is too profound, and it would take a lot of effort for Li Chunfeng to fully understand it.Moreover, he taught Li Chunfeng these things only to train him to be a math teacher for children, not to train him to be a master of mathematics.

Of course, when Li Zhiyun is free in the future, he must teach Li Chunfeng these knowledge well.

Because, he is the most suitable person to learn mathematics.

"My minister obeys."

Li Chunfeng bowed out holding the mathematics booklet written by Li Zhiyun as if he had found a treasure.

Li Zhiyun thought to himself.

These basic arithmetic methods should be able to cope with children's learning.As for the more esoteric, it can only depend on fate.

No way, mathematics is not something that can be memorized by rote.

In addition, in the curriculum planned by Li Zhiyun, foreign languages ​​are temporarily erased.No way, Datang's biggest opponent, the Turks, they themselves may not know how to study systematically.Moreover, Turkic is already on Li Zhiyun's must-kill list, so it doesn't make much sense to learn Turkic.

Politics, in ancient times, was basically tied to language, and Li Zhiyun didn't know how to write any textbooks.

As for history, Li Zhiyun has already decided to let the historian be the teacher, starting with the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, to give lessons to the children and let them study systematically.

Geography is also very important. In this area, Li Zhiyun arranged relevant officials to serve as teachers.As for biology, chemistry, and physics, Li Zhiyun can only temporarily put it down.

Because of Datang's current knowledge system, these three courses are basically still in a state of barbaric growth.

For example, biology, who the hell knows what the biological structure is, if you want to teach it, you can only teach children to recognize animals.

As for chemistry, Taoist priests have some knowledge about this thing, but these people are not much different from neuropathy, so let's rule it out.

Needless to say the rest of the physics.

Don't understand mathematics, learn physics ass.

Even if Li Zhiyun brought out the concept of universal gravitation, the entire Tang Dynasty could not find a few who could understand it.

The preliminary set is Chinese, mathematics, history, geography, physical education, five courses.As for biology, it can only be regarded as a popular science class, and it is really difficult to find a special person to teach it. It is quite suitable for the cook to come to the class.

But if he dared to find a cook to teach his sons, the people in the Ministry of Rites would go crazy and tell him that he didn't understand anything and just messed around.

Of course, the above courses are only for elementary school students. When the sons grow up, they will definitely learn more and more things.

Such as criminal law, etiquette, military law and so on.

That's something for later, so I won't show it for the time being.

Immediately, Li Zhiyun appointed another teacher.

In terms of language, we should find a few more, such as Kong Yingda, Yu Shinan and others.

Mathematics, let's say Li Chunfeng is alone.

History and geography are handled by the historians in charge of history books. These people know history and maps best.

As for sports, leave it to the generals.

Hey, this is a real military training course, martial arts is a must.

By the way, this is also a pavement for children to learn the art of war in the future.

After finishing it, Li Zhiyun planned to put these courses in the four primary schools under the Imperial College.

That's right, the name is Simen Primary School!
This thing was created by Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and it was originally used to educate the children of the clan.After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Lao Li decided to further improve the status of the four elementary schools, to promote to the university position, and at the same time further open to the children of meritorious officials.

Now, Li Zhiyun decided to completely define the four primary schools, which will be responsible for teaching children in the future, that is, primary schools.

Also, he wants to change the name of Simen Primary School to Chang'an No. [-] Primary School!

In the future, Chang'an Primary School will not only accept the children of the clan and heroes, but also the child prodigies from all over the world.

At the same time, he is also preparing to formulate the entrance examination and the school year system.

He had to discuss these matters with the old scholars of the Imperial College.
