Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796

Chapter 396 038 Soloviev is going to teach Nicholas again

After the letter of credence was completed, Soloviev returned to St. Petersburg, which seemed to have resumed his daily life.

Although the official establishment of the Imperial Village Middle School still had to wait for the first batch of preparatory students to start the formal entrance examination, which was equivalent to the primary school to junior high school, and the school system of the middle school was a combination of junior high school and high school, followed by graduation.

In this era, this was already equivalent to a high level of higher education, and the school system was not standardized.

Soloviev came back to teach Nicholas and Mikhail. He also made a syllabus before, and he had to complete the course equivalent to the Imperial Village Preparatory School in 1810, and then the two grand dukes had to take the entrance examination.

Although they could both be admitted no matter what the score was, as a teacher, Soloviev decided to teach them after discussing with General Langzdov. In addition to the teaching content, they also needed to complete homework and the exams that had become a routine.

The most troublesome thing for the two grand dukes is undoubtedly that there are too many teachers. Several top teachers are dealing with their two children. What's more terrible is that the mother and the emperor's brother still agree to this course!

Moreover, the homework has been added.

"Boss, you have added homework for us today. Please be kind and leave it for tomorrow."

"That won't do, Your Highness. I asked you to go to welcome your sister back. You have already had a holiday. You have two days less homework. With your brain, you can complete this amount."

"That's not good. There are fireworks on the street today."

"What's the point of watching fireworks? Don't you like to use guns and cannons the most on weekdays? There will be a test firing of new cannons on the training ground on the weekend. Do you want to go and watch?"

Solovyov is a cunning guy who knows the psychology of these two children very well.

Moreover, he personally supervises the completion of the homework of the two grand dukes. While they are doing their homework, they can also complete some work by themselves.

Nikolai was in a lot of trouble. After all, once Solovyov started to work hard, the elementary school math problems he used were a bit difficult for him.

"Why? It doesn't work?"

"If the equations listed before were fine, and the numbers could be calculated directly, what is this?"

"This is an indeterminate equation. You will be able to use it when you learn functions in the future. These are also the basics of artillery. They are not cavalry and infantry. Just knowing how to fight is enough. To shoot accurately, you can't be bad at math. I have said this many times, and when firing artillery, the trajectory is there."

Nikolai didn't ask for him to learn too well, but at least he shouldn't fail, and General Langzdov also supported him to do so.

When Nikolai finished his homework, Solovyov had already done some translated manuscripts. He didn't end up with "The Hero of Ryazan", but he did it one by one in order, and the editorial department was also urging him to update.

"Boss, what is this?"

"I translated the Zuo Zhuan before, and this is the Water Margin Story, which is also a famous Chinese novel."

"It's a story about Khitan again. I saw that many officers and soldiers of the Guards were passing around the picture album."

"Did you read it too?"

"Of course, but I don't have the patience to lock myself in the study and read books all day like my sister-in-law."

"No matter what you want to do, Kolya, you are the Grand Duke, and you will always have to do things in the future. Whether you lead the Guards like His Highness Constantine or supervise a region as a governor, you must always be patient. With patience, you will be able to do things well in the future, and if you lead troops to fight, you will be able to win."

Soloviev always had some room for words, and did not say in too straightforward a way that Alexander was killed in a trap.

I always have to advise this kid Nicholas. When he was lost in thought while looking at these manuscripts, Soloviev added another question.

"Your Highness, let me ask you, if you add integers from 1 to 100 in order, what will you get?"

This question is a piece of cake for Gauss, who was of the same age, and he can also bring out the operation rules of arithmetic progressions. It's okay to teach a child of Nicholas' age.

Soloviev is also testing him, and if he doesn't know how to do it, he can teach him something.

Anyway, according to Nicholas' current level, he can still master the thousands, not too bad, and should still be at the level of his age.

"Well, from 1 to 100"

He thought about it at this moment, and Soloviev still had time to consider the words and sentences of the translation.

Alexander promised him before that as long as the letter of credence could be submitted through the merchant group this time, he would get a medal.

Speaking of which, the medal he got was always genuine, much better than those strange things. Russia often caused big counterfeit medals when issuing medals, and the review was also very rough.

Speaking of which, Russians are addicted to awarding medals, which they learned from Europe, and Paul also tied bonuses and pension benefits to it, which can be regarded as the root of all evil.

At this time, you can't forget your medals!

And Nicholas is now scratching his head, and he started complaining as soon as he added up to 12.

"This is really boring. Although you can calculate it by adding them one by one, it's troublesome enough."

"How much have you calculated?"

"12."

Nicholas didn't respond, but Mikhail reported the progress.

"That's 78. Adding them up one by one is very troublesome and time-consuming."

Then, Soloviev called Nikolai and told him about the arithmetic progression.

".So, from the beginning to the end, it is 50 times 101, and the final result is 5050. I met Dr. Gauss in Dresden. He did this when he was a child and was also called a child prodigy."

By the way, the investment of the Duke of Brunswick is still worth it.

If Napoleon had not quickly passed through Berlin, the Duchy of Brunswick would have been temporarily destroyed for a while, and Gauss would have been a professor at a local university with his funding instead of going out to teach in Göttingen.

"That's really amazing! When you are with your sisters, you sing, paint, and write poems. You can do these things, boss."

"What? Your talent is limited. I can let you learn some mathematics, but it is unlikely that you will have any groundbreaking insights."

And Solovyov thought in his heart that I was forcibly snatching the job of the mathematics professor, and the professor only saw that they were grand dukes, not the little dukes of Saxe-Weimar, and they were a little studious and had some mathematical talent.

The cultural level of the male family members of the Romanov family, who burned books and buried scholars, is really hard to describe. The best Alexander, who was taught, also had many problems and could not study in depth.

On the contrary, there are many daughters-in-law who are studious in this family, which is really strange.

But if there is a daughter-in-law who is feudal and superstitious like their family in the future, the country will not be far away from being destroyed.

The strange thing is that all the daughters-in-law of the Romanov family who are studious are when the country is on the rise.

As for studying, Solovyov would not allow such a thing to happen.

"Just learn all these contents well, and you won't have homework today. If you don't do well in the monthly exam, you will have to do more homework."

He would not allow such a thing as 3 points being enough.

And this time about indeterminate equations, it was still a mathematical concept left by Diophantus, the man who asked questions on the tombstone.

Since Nicholas learned it, he has finally entered the door of algebra, but he just doesn't have to be as immature as Alexander.

At this time, Solovyov remembered the saying "old Tartars have no immaturity". Because of the relationship between Peter the Great's maternal family, the Naryshkin family, they also have some Tartar blood, but it is very thin.

As for the Queen Mother, since she has already endorsed this matter, he doesn't have to worry.

Nicholas has no homework today, but his whole body feels two pounds lighter.

But the time for the fireworks show has passed, so he can only run to the Alexander Palace to play with his second sister.

Elena always brought back three children. Nicholas's eldest nephew was only four years younger than him, so they could still play together.

What about Solovyov?

He ran to Count Bobulinsky's restaurant at this moment. The editor wanted to discuss the details with him.

This is not another problem. Although the Russian censorship system was basically non-existent in the early days of Alexander's rule, it always existed.

Since it exists, it is impossible to do nothing, so we have to find problems in the story of Liangshan heroes.

". The situation is as I said. After reading the content, Prince Kurakin thought that this book was all about rebellion and was not suitable for serialization in newspapers."

"So what?"

"Baron, you have to think about it. After all, 30 years ago, the rebellious Cossack Pugachev and the Kazakh herdsmen made a lot of noise."

"So. Prince Kurakin said the same thing after reading the content later?"

"Yes, even these people, like the Cossacks who surrendered back then, are not suitable for publication."

"Ah, it's so boring, this book is so Fortunately, forget it. Since the Attorney General has said so, I will give up the translation of this book, but it cannot be considered as a breach of contract. "

"It is indeed not a breach of contract. This is the "force majeure factor" mentioned when we signed the contract. You added this clause."

"As for the content to be serialized, it is not that there is nothing else that can be published, but this content is still related to the Cossacks. "

Soloviev is bold. If he directly plagiarizes "Fire and Sword", it will feel a bit disgusting. After all, what kind of characters are praised in Sienkiewicz's book.

He himself and Bao Hong's descendants are in the Guards, so he can write some short stories and novellas from the perspective of the Zaporizhia Cossacks.

No long ones, there is not so much content.

Just writing like this has more or less proved that the Poles are the ones who caused their own death.

What is written is more like a political analysis, but Soloviev still has some appeal among readers.

He wrote these things, and the only one who was unhappy was probably Czartoryski. The Polish girl was not very sensitive to this aspect, and the Polish prince who loved to commit suicide would not be able to say anything after seeing it.

After all, Soloviev always liked to restore history in his writings. If these protagonists found the archives, they would also find that they were not very good.

The Poles did those immoral things in the 17th century, just state them directly.

Similarly, if they did good things, there was no need to exaggerate them. They led to the siege of Vienna, and finally led to the partition of Austria and Prussia, and they also had to ask Russia for help.

But the Russians can also have reasons. The Russian princes still have some claims to those places in Ruthenia, but the Poles came to occupy them. Between the Western Slavs and the Eastern Slavs, only Russia and Poland have always been enemies, and the others are all small Karami.

Speaking of which, the Poles also did what they did when they were strong in the past, and finally suffered the bitter fruit in the past twenty years.

If Poland wants to restore its country at this time, it must rely on the powerful countries nearby.

They are so desperate that they can soon look forward to Napoleon, but this restoration is also very short-lived.

For the Poles, Soloviev's sympathy is not for those Polish nobles. Instead, he plans to use this novella to explain how the Poles are finished.

After telling the editor about this idea, the other party also agreed, and Kurakin did not continue to embarrass him.

But there are also unhappy people, such as Nicholas.

In addition to liking military affairs, he is also interested in these fighting and killing, and even mentioned it in front of the Queen Mother.

"Mother, Colonel Solovyov was translating a Khitan novel while supervising us to complete our homework."

"I know he has this ability. What are you going to do, Kolya?"

Although Queen Mother Maria came from Württemberg, she was somewhat proficient in Russian.

"I want the complete version, and I want it published."

"But Your Highness, because this book involves a group of bandits, the Minister of the Interior and the Procuratorate have asked the newspaper not to publish it."

"This is not a problem. Kurakin is a bit nosy. I don't like Solovyov very much, but he has some skills. He is Nikolai and Mikhail's teacher, and he has some writing skills. He can't be banned completely. He should be published in a small range. For example, send me some content."

Speaking of which, the Queen Mother is still interested in some poems and novels, and she can also call the reading maid to read aloud to pass the time.

Speaking of which, the people of the Württemberg family always serve in the army in big countries, and they are not interested in these books.

After Solovyov knew about it, he could only smile.

What he didn't expect was that the Queen Mother, who had always disliked him, actually allowed this matter to go through. However, it couldn't be published in newspapers on a large scale, or published and distributed. It could only be circulated in a small range as a form of entertainment among the nobles.

"That's not bad, not bad."

However, he also accepted a task from Alexander to give an open class at the Imperial Village Preparatory School.
