Datang: I am so happy to marry a disfigured princess!

Chapter 179 Consort Lin actually speaks for us?

The next day, in Taixue.

Lin Heng yawned, his eyes still a little blurry.

What the hell is this day like? I can’t even wake up!

But compared to those officials who had to go to court before dawn, it was already much better.

As soon as he entered Taixue, Lin Heng met Kong Yingda. A group of doctors gathered around the old man, who seemed to be talking about something.

Kong Yingda looked troubled and seemed to be in a dilemma.

Lin Heng said hello with a smile, and Kong Yingda immediately signaled with his eyes to leave quickly!
He was immediately puzzled, and then the doctors looked over, looking at Lin Heng with evil looks on their faces.

"Consort Lin, we have something to say!"

Lin Heng finally came to his senses. These people were gathered together. They were not having a meeting, but what were they discussing?
And the topic of discussion is yourself?

He was a little confused and said: "What are you guys talking about? Just say it."

At this time, Kong Yingda's eyes also turned helpless.

Early this morning, these gentlemen came to complain, saying that they were entrusted by the parents of those students in Class Ding [-].

Why do you want to learn arithmetic when you come to Taixue University?Besides, they are all obsessed with it?
When they were studying at Taixue, they studied Confucian classics. Even if they didn't just study, they were still Confucian classics in name, so it would be easy to pass them on.

But now they are obsessed with calculations, which they learned at Taixue. How can they be willing to do so?
Counting, it was just learned by the descendants of officials with no status or status or by civilians who were recommended. How could their descendants learn this?
At that moment, someone asked: "Consort Lin, this is the Imperial College, the place where Confucianism is taught and taught. To allow the students of the Imperial College to learn arithmetic is really against the laws of learning!"

"Calculations are of no use in governing the country. Is it possible that in the future, these children will be asked to come up with abacus to deal with political affairs in the court?"

"The Confucian way is the foundation for learning and one's life. If you disobey the way and fall astray, your future will be lost. Consort Lin, of course we admire your achievements, but now you are teaching as a doctor in Taixue. To educate students, we must not harm these disciples!"

Lin Heng was stunned for a moment, and then he understood the whole story. Are these people acting like this because he taught them math?
He immediately said with a smile: "I see that counting is not a useless method. Learning to count can train the thinking logic of all living beings and make their minds sounder. Moreover, Confucius once said that disciples must develop in a balanced way. Is it possible?" Will taking one more course ruin your future?"

However, these scholars in front of me have all read Confucian classics for many years and respect Confucian culture like gods. In their view, studying Confucian culture is the duty of students, and learning other things is a waste of time.

"What the sage said was about etiquette, music, Yi, Yu, and shooting. They are the equal development of body and mind. He never said that there are numbers that can be calculated together!"

"In my opinion, what achievements can be achieved by learning to count? Moreover, the families of these people said that it is ridiculous for these people to immerse themselves in counting after returning home!"

"If you ignore Confucian knowledge and only focus on studying and calculating, the lives of these people will be ruined!"

Hearing this, Lin Heng said with a smile: "Then I heard that when you were teaching, these students didn't even want to attend class. Now they are interested in studying mathematics. How can this not be an improvement?"

"Is it possible that letting you teach and watching them waste their time without going to school is a sign of their future and they will have great achievements in the future?"

"Isn't this a little too ridiculous to say?"

Lin Heng's words immediately blocked everyone's mouths.

They were angry because they had also taught students in Class Ding [-], but because these students looked down upon them, they were helpless and no matter how hard they tried to persuade them, it was useless.

But on the first day Lin Heng came, they went to study what Lin Heng said that night. Wasn't this a slap in the face to them? Wasn't it a loss of face for them?
At that moment, there was someone whose face turned red and was speechless.

However, there are still some people who continue to scold Lin Heng. They look like they are saying that if Lin Heng teaches arithmetic again, he will fight you to the death!
The movement here obviously attracted many students to look over, including students from the class taught by Lin Heng himself.

"What's going on? Why are so many gentlemen here?"

"It's probably Prince Consort Lin who teaches arithmetic here. These gentlemen know about it and are criticizing it." "Tsk, what's the use of counting? Why does Prince Consort Lin teach these things? Is it possible that he will become a businessman like him in the future? ?”

After hearing this, all the students in Class Ding [-] were immediately dissatisfied and said: "Wang Ze, Consort Lin is certainly a merchant. He can rely on the skills of merchants to save millions of victims in Shandong. That's where the merit lies!"

"But I heard that His Majesty asked your father to go to disaster relief. Your father, who has studied sages for decades, did not even dare to go to court. As his son, how dare you look down on Consort Lin?"

The man named Wang Ze immediately turned red and defended himself: "Why do I look down on Prince Consort Lin? I just said that this calculation is useless. You are already an incurable person. How can you learn these things?" What’s the use?”

For a while, all the students in Class Ding were blocked.

They were indeed interested, but they couldn't really tell what the numbers were for.

But at this time, a student who had been studying until late last night stood up and said directly: "The way of mathematics is the foundation of the movement of the world. Everything has its own laws and can be explained based on mathematics. How can it be useless? "

What he said was exactly what was written on the cover, and he remembered it clearly.

Wang Ze sneered: "The foundation of the movement of heaven and earth? Then you might as well tell me how to explain these things using mathematics and physics?"

At that moment, many people were making noises, asking the disciple to tell the corresponding truth.

But they have just learned addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. How can they understand the subsequent things?

Just as the students in Class Ding [-] were blushing, a voice suddenly came from behind, asking about the student named Wang Ze.

"Do you know how far away the sun is from where we live? Do you know why there are twelve hours in a day? Then why does the sun have different days in the sky in different seasons? Can you tell the specific time when the sun is in the sky? How long will you stay?”

When the student saw Lin Heng, he was immediately stunned. It was inevitable that he was afraid, but after hearing these words, he also argued: "If you know these things, what's the use?"

Lin Heng said with a smile: "Then let's talk about a simpler one, why are there day and night?"

Wang Ze immediately blushed and said: "The replacement of the sun and the moon is a law of nature..."

Lin Heng continued to ask: "Can you explain this natural law clearly? Use what you have learned to explain it in detail?"

"This...this is the science of astronomy. Why do I need to know it? Why do I need to explain it?"

Lin Heng waved his hand and said: "Look, you can't even explain the most basic daily routine in your life, so you just say that counting is useless, but what if I tell you that all these can be explained by counting? "

For a moment, everyone behind Lin Heng's eyes lit up.

This sounds really awesome!

Wang Ze was immediately speechless, and others behind him did not dare to speak.

After all, the person in front of them was the Prince Consort of Lin, and he already had a successful career, so why should they go again?

Lin Heng immediately looked at the doctors who were standing aside not far away, and said with a smile: "If you are dissatisfied, please report it to His Majesty."

"I just did what a gentleman should do."

When those people heard this, they immediately blushed, and their eyes showed not only anger but also shame.

After saying that, Lin Heng waved his hand: "Everyone, go back to class."

All the students behind him responded: "Okay, go back to class!"
