After dinner, Zhang Junping asked them to rest and then go to the academy to study until the end of the three o'clock.

The younger brothers and sisters went to rest, but Zhang Junping couldn't rest. He had to deal with the things in the mansion.

In such a large Zhang family, there are many things every day. Some housekeepers can handle, while others can only be handled by him, the head of the family.

"Agui! Go and see if Lu Bo is in the mansion, please come here!" Zhang Junping ordered Zhang Gui.

"I wonder what your husband has to give?" Zhang Lu quickly came to the study.

"Lu Bo, please arrange someone to go to the market to see if there are any large pieces of bluestone slabs. Buy more and get one in a square foot. The bigger the better!"

"Here!"

Although Zhang Lu didn't understand what Zhang Junping was doing, he still agreed.

Zhang Lu knew very well that as a servant, he didn’t need to understand too much, and he did whatever he wanted. This is the bottom line.

"Also, according to this recipe, find a craftsman to make a batch of chalk!" Zhang Junping wrote the recipe and production process of making chalk on paper and handed it over to Zhang Lu.

"What is Langjun's chalk?"

"When it's done, Lu Bo will know!" Zhang Junping smiled.

In the morning class, Zhang Junping felt it was inconvenient. He had to finish writing on the desk now, and then post it to the wall to show everyone and explain the structure of the words to them.

Then the younger brothers and sisters were learning to write on paper based on what they wrote.

Learning to write like this is too laborious and too expensive!

The landlord's family has no surplus food either!

Teaching with bluestone slabs is awesome!

Zhang Junping can write on the bluestone slab with chalk and explain it to everyone. Brothers and sisters can also use brushes to dip them in water to learn to write and practice on the bluestone slab.

afternoon.

"Now I want to teach you the numbers, what are numbers, the six arts of gentlemen, rituals, music, archery, imperialism, books, and numbers.

It can be seen that ancient literati also learned to ride horses and shoot archery!

What I want to teach you below is the number of the six arts of gentlemen!”

"0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9" Zhang Junping picked up the brush, wrote down ten numbers 0 to 9 on the paper and gave them to his younger brothers and sisters to see.

"Brother, what is this? Why is it different from what we learned before?" Zhang Junhui raised his hand and asked.

If you have any questions, raise your hand. It was the rule that Zhang Junping just set for them in the morning.

"This is the number, invented by an Indian! It is used to calculate and record it is very simple, much simpler than our numbers!"

"Brother, what is an Indian?"

"India is a country west of our Song Dynasty. It is west of the mountains and ridges! In that country, we believe in Buddhism!

In the former Tang Dynasty, there was a monk named Xuanzang. In order to study Buddhist teachings, in the first year of Zhenguan, he traveled across the mountains and ridges, heading west for 50,000 miles, and finally arrived at a country where Buddhism flourished, which is India!"

"Wow! Fifty thousand miles away, how long does it take to go?"

“It took Master Xuanzang four years to arrive in India!

Okay, that’s all for the Buddhist matter. You just need to know that these numbers were invented by Indians!

Let’s continue to learn how to read and write these numbers!

When you all learn it, I will teach you addition, subtraction, multiplication and division!"

Ten numbers are naturally simple, and soon all seven younger brothers and sisters will learn it.

“1+1=2

1+2=3

1+3=4”

After they learned to write ten numbers, Zhang Junping taught them from simple addition.

I didn’t teach much, and I just taught them additions within ten in the afternoon.

At night, they continued to teach them Taizu Changquan.

I practice martial arts in the morning and night, then I study literature and mathematics in half a day.

In the evening, after taking his younger brother and sister to practice Taizu Changquan and let them go back to rest, Zhang Junping began to write articles in the study.

Zhang Lu was still very quick in his work. In one day, he found more than a dozen articles written by the dynasty's bosses.

The imperial examinations in the Song Dynasty were divided into three levels, namely the provincial examination, the provincial examination and the palace examination.

After passing the provincial examination, you will become a Jinshi and you will have an official position.

The imperial examination mainly tests classical meanings, policy theory, and poetry.

Among them, policy theory is tested separately.

According to Zhang Junping's understanding, the meaning of the classics is similar to the reading comprehension questions in later generations, and a passage in the collection of classics, history, and numerology is commented on.

On the subject, this is equivalent to a propositional argumentative essay, which comments on an allusion or a historical figure recorded in the classics and history according to the requirements of the examination.

The strategy is equivalent to the essay on the civil service examination in later generations, expressing opinions on a certain current event, and how to deal with it if it is yourself.

Poetry and essays are about writing poems and lyrics.

The poetry and essay exam was cancelled by the late Song Dynasty, but now, during the reign of Emperor Zhenzong, it has not been cancelled.

However, for Zhang Junping, poetry and essays are the simplest.

There is a saying that I can recite 300 Tang poems well, and I can recite them even if I can’t write poems.

I have to worry about this when I am full of poetry, songs and essays from the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties?

The only thing about strategy is more troublesome.

The subjectivity of this strategy is too subjective! Even if you use gorgeous words to pile up, if the core viewpoint is not recognized by the examiner, you will not expect to get high scores.

Therefore, Zhang Junping asked Zhang Lu to find articles from senior officials of the dynasty to study and understand their political philosophy.

Then, based on their ideas, practice writing policy theory.

As the boss of the training center, I have always believed that exams have tricks, and as long as I grasp the tricks, the exam will become very simple.

In addition to memorizing the Four Books and Five Classics and imitating the articles of senior officials of the current dynasty, Zhang Junping also had one more thing, that is, writing books.

Publishing books and biography is an achievement that every literati desires.

The first book that Zhang Junping planned to produce was the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

This is a grand work.

But it helped him gain a lot of reputation and a lot of money.

A Romance of the Three Kingdoms should be able to surpass Sima Guang's smashing of the tank and killing snakes.

Later generations had different opinions about Sima Guang, but in Zhang Junping's view, smashing the jar and killing the snake were both for the sake of becoming famous. Some people deliberately promoted it, which was the same as the hype and character setting in later generations.

In this era, we pay more attention to fame than later generations. We can make money by gaining fame, so we do everything we can to become famous.

In this era, becoming famous not only makes money, but also becomes an official. It is also strange to speculate about smashing the tank and killing snakes.

But in Zhang Junping's opinion, these methods are still too rough.

It is better to write a few classic works and write a few poems and make them convenient.

Just like he sang aloud to kill people that day, it was also a hype and famous method.

During the day, I took my younger brother and sister to learn martial arts and literature, and read and write at night. Life is simple and compact.

On the third day, Zhang Lu found a suitable teacher. Although he could not reopen the academy, he could still teach his younger brothers and sisters, and Zhang Junping also had some free time.
