At the beginning, Emperor Yang of Sui was kidnapped

Chapter 89

"My lord, I'm done reciting!"

Fang Yi held his head high, looking at Xu Mu expectantly.

Xu Mu glanced at the two fleeting figures at the window on the second floor, the corners of his mouth curled up.

The reason why he asked Fang Yi to recite the Three Character Sutra straight away was precisely for them to hear it.

This enlightenment reading has no less influence on Wang Tong than the "four actions" mentioned earlier.

However, in the Sanzijing, many things are taught, such as customs, allusions, history, etc., especially after "From the Sui Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty, one earth and space. It is no longer passed on, and the lineage is lost", it is written "Tang Gaozu, the uprising teacher. Eliminate the Sui chaos and create the foundation of the country."

Of course Xu Mu would not make these low-level mistakes and delete all the history of the "prophet" that follows.

In addition, Su Laoquan,27 these allusions after the Sui Dynasty were also excluded by him.

"Where's my reward..." Realizing that Xu Mu ignored him, Fang Yizhi reminded again in a low voice.

Xu Mu came back to his senses, touched his little puppet belt, and said with a smile: "Today I will teach you another method of calculating the height of mountains and the distance of mountains."

Fang Yi blinked his eyes, and when he mentioned map drawing, he regained his energy.

During the month that the lord left, he used contour lines and scales to draw topographic maps, and encountered many difficulties.

For example, the height of mountains is extremely difficult to measure, so the topographic maps he draws are not always so accurate.

After discovering this problem, he asked the lord for advice as soon as he came back.

Until today, the lord was willing to teach him again.

Xu Mu did not expect that Fang Yizhi, who was only in his early ten years, would actually show his amazing talent and passion for learning in the field of topographic map making.

Immediately popularized a theory with him, the similarity of triangles...

"What is the similarity of triangles?" Fang Yizhi was bewildered.

The two people on the second floor pricked up their ears when they heard something about Professor Xu Mu and the topographic map, and leaned against the window to listen.

After being exposed to contour lines and scale bars, they were amazed.

Knowing this way is very important for marching and fighting.

It can give the general enough data to estimate the speed of the march, as well as various ambushes that may be encountered along the way, etc.

"This method was actually proposed by Liu Hui in the Three Kingdoms period in "Sea Island Computing Classics". After summarizing, he found that there is a certain proportional relationship between two triangles with similar angles."

Xu Mu pondered for a while, and said this relatively profound theoretical point for people of this era.

Afterwards, Xu Mu drew two similar triangles with his own hands, removed several sides of them, and demonstrated it to Fang Yizhi.

"It's really the same!"

Fang Yi's eyes widened, his clear and tender voice echoed outside the small western building.

He has a strong thirst for knowledge, and he did a lot of calculations, and found that... as long as it is a similar triangle, the ratio obtained by dividing the two sides is exactly the same!

"My lord! I know! If we want to measure the height of the mountain in the future, we only need to establish an observation point, then measure the distance from the observation point to the foot of the mountain, and construct a similar triangle, then we can measure the height of the mountain! Similarly, knowing the height of the mountain, we can also measure the distance from the mountain to us. how far!"

After some explanations, Fang Yizhi, who had a basis in scale, quickly understood the theory Xu Mu was talking about.

He was so excited that he quickly picked up the map of the mountains of Wanmin City that he had drawn up before, and continued to measure.

Xu Mu nodded with a smile, and let him practice it alone, while he prepared to go to the old house to popularize the "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Classic".

But at this time, the two people on the second floor looked at each other in confusion.

"Mr. Wang, do you...understand?" Lu Chu was at a loss.

Wang Tong smiled wryly and shook his head: "No...no..."

Immediately, the two of them looked at Fang Yizhi, a child in his early ten years, at the same time.

He seems to understand...

With a thirst for knowledge, the two went downstairs...

Wang Tong claims to be a great Confucian, and he is extremely proficient in arithmetic, but he has not heard of Naoshizi's similar triangles for a while.

"Yizhi, what's the matter with the similar triangles my lord told you just now?" Wang Tong squatted down and asked in a friendly voice.

Fang Yi just left these two non-working adults, his father said yesterday that these two are not willing to submit to Wanmin City.

So now he doesn't like the two of them at all.

Not working, but eating and drinking here every day.

Gazing at the two of them, Fang Yi went on with his measurements.

Wang Tong and Lu Chu were taken aback, from Fang Yizhi's small eyes, they seemed to read five words.

Don't even understand this?
Even though the two of them have extremely high self-cultivation, they still feel depressed and slightly unhappy when they are despised by a naive child.

"Huh? What is this?"

The question in his heart could not be answered, but Lu Chu found a volume of scriptures beside Fang Yizhi.

After opening it and seeing the contents, Lu Chu was stunned for a moment, and stood there dumbfounded.

Wang Tong stood up and moved over.

It was also like being immobilized, and stood there in a daze.

Just now I heard Fang Yi reciting directly, but the two of them actually didn't hear it very clearly.

But seeing the original text of the Three Character Classic at this time, the two were deeply shocked.

Not only catchy, but also enlighten the people from all aspects, let the people know about inheritance, classics, loyalty, benevolence and filial piety.

It's just that when they saw "From the Sui Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty, one earth and space. If it is no longer passed on, it will lose its lineage", they rushed towards their faces, and the two of them felt Xu Mu's obvious ambition.

Or ambition!

What does it mean not to pass on?

Especially Wang Tong, combined with what Xu Mu said to him a few days ago, was full of thoughts.

The ambition is self-evident, Xu Mu wants to end this troubled world with his own efforts!

So there is no mention of Li Mi, no mention of Li Yuan, no mention of people like Dou Jiande...

Wang Tong took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart, and continued to look down.

I have to say that the eloquence of the "Three Character Classic" shocked him greatly.

It made him shake completely.

"Following such a master, maybe... I can really revive Confucianism and educate all people?" Wang Tong thought in his heart.

There are not many protagonists who are so ambitious, respect Confucianism, and emphasize education...

"Sir, look, there's another... Thousand Character Essay?"

Lu Chu interrupted Wang Tong's thoughts with a deep voice, and pointed to another thousand-character statement behind the Three-Character Classic.

"The heaven and earth are dark and yellow, and the universe is prehistoric.

The sun and the moon are in full bloom, and the celestial constellations..."

Wang Tong finished it and started to recite it.

While reciting, trembling.

One can imagine the shock in my heart.

Such a universally famous novel, the protagonist actually... took out two volumes at once!

……

This was naturally left by Xu Mu on purpose.

Just to lure two people into the bait.

When Xu Mu came back from the Lord's Mansion, he found Wang Tong standing alone at the door on the first floor, as if he was waiting for something.

He hurried forward and said hello, "Old Wang?"

Wang Tong looked solemn, as if he had made some important decision.

From a long distance away, he bowed down to Xu Mu and performed the courtier's salute.

Xu Mu was overjoyed, and hurried forward to help him up.

"Old Wang has figured it out?" Xu Mu raised his brows happily, you know, this is his future Minister of Education.

The most talented man of all time.

And...he has many disciples. Back then when he gave lectures on the bank of Luoshui, countless disciples came here attracted by his fame.

Those people in the future will all be prime ministers in the early Tang Dynasty.

If he kidnapped Lao Wang himself, wouldn't all these people fall into his trap in the future?
Wang Tong nodded solemnly, and said in a deep voice: "My lord has learned from the past and the present, and is far-sighted, ambitious, and Zhong Yan is not talented. I am willing to do my best to my lord!"

It was Qian Zi Wen who made him make this decision.

Overwhelm the last straw that persisted in his heart.

The main reason is that Xu Mu made him see the confidence and the future of this rebel force.

Hearing this, Xu Mu quickly took his hand and said happily, "Old Wang, there is an old house in the civil administration of Wanmin City, you are in the education, and there is Lao Zhang outside. The future is limitless. This world will be ours sooner or later!"

In the past, Wang Tong would have scoffed at such blatant declarations of rebellion, and would have criticized them even more...

but now……

Wang Tong smiled wryly and nodded.

then……

He was dragged to the Lord's Mansion by Xu Mu.

Next to his lord's exclusive study room, there is a sign that reads... Department of Education and Culture.

"From today onwards, you are the director of the Department of Education and Culture of Wanmin City!"

Wang Tong felt a little sudden about the enthusiasm and eagerness of the protagonist.

So soon... is it worth it?
However, he adapted quickly, and bowed to Xu Mu: "Zhong Yan should try his best."

Xu Mu is very relieved of him, he is not a rotten Confucian, and if he plans culture and education, the appalling literacy rate in Wanmin City will finally be saved.

Afterwards, Xu Mu talked to him about the current plan.

"The lord's mansion is going to build a school next... Well, the Wanmin School, for the common people to learn."

After a pause, Xu Mu then added: "All common people can go to school!"

Wang Tong frowned slightly, and asked doubtfully, "Can all the common people go to school?"

To be honest, the lord's generosity shocked him.

Although Confucius said that there is no distinction between teaching and learning, he definitely did not mean this.

Xu Mu glanced at him, nodded and said, "It's natural, it takes ten years to grow a tree, and a hundred years to grow a person. Although it is easy for children to teach, these common people... don't they have the right to acquire knowledge?"

"Wanmin City is now in urgent need of literate people from all walks of life if it wants to develop rapidly, so this school must be built!"

After listening to Xu Mu's explanation, Wang Tong was relieved.

He also understands that it is impossible for the scholars in Wanmin City to rely entirely on bondage.

Seeing him nodding, Xu Mu continued, "So next, in addition to the Three-Character Classic and the Thousand-Character Classic, you also need to compile supporting textbooks, such as making annotations for the Three-Character Classic and the Thousand-Character Classic."

Wang Tong naturally complied, this is what he is best at.

As for Lu Chu...he is still stubborn and stubborn, even if Wang Tong has surrendered, he still has no intention of submitting.

However, Lu Chu said that although he did not surrender, in the future, Wang Tong would promote culture and education, and he could bring those students from the Imperial College who had not surrendered to him to help...

Xu Mu immediately gave them a teaching position as a teacher.

Wang Tong edited the textbook with annotations, and Lu Chu and others taught, perfect cooperation.

even……

Based on Lao Lu's temperament, Xu Mu secretly prepared him the position of teaching director...
