Chapter 34 Running an academy, where do the teaching materials come from?
Chapter 34 Running an academy, where do the teaching materials come from?
Mathematics, you don't know it, or you really don't know it.
Zhang Liang accepted his fate.
He apologized with a smile.
"Your Highness is indeed amazing. You can solve such difficult arithmetic problems easily!"
Zhang Cang on the side was also shocked.
Unlike Zhang Liang, he is proficient in mathematics.
As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, and experts watch the way.
At this moment, Zhang Cang could see some questions slightly, and he frowned and muttered.
"Young Master Nineteen can solve this math problem so quickly, what's the trick?"
"Of course there is!"
Ying Changsheng nodded.
He was able to solve the problem.
To be honest, it is still achieved by relying on the cultural accumulation of more than 2000 years in later generations.
If he used the same method, he wouldn't be much faster than Zhang Cang in calculation.
"May I ask Your Highness to answer Zhang Cang's question?"
Zhang Cang asked cautiously with a respectful face.
For mathematics, he still loves it very much. At this moment, he is eager to know, is there any way to solve the equation so easily and quickly...
"My son's method is actually quite simple. It is nothing more than relying on a few formulas. You see, this is the formula I listed."
Ying Changsheng spread the piece of paper in front of him in front of Zhang Cang. The latter looked at it with interest and listened to Ying Changsheng's explanation.
Immediately, his eyes lit up, realizing how powerful this thing is.
Arabic mathematics, as well as these formulas, are simple and clear. After a glance, Zhang Cang understood the truth after listening to Ying Changsheng's explanation.
Even on the side, Zhang Liang, who didn't know much about mathematics, understood how to answer these questions after listening to Ying Changsheng's explanation for a while, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Young Master Nineteen spurred him in, Zhang Liang admired him so much!"
"What is this? It's just a few math problems!"
Ying Changsheng looked disdainful.
On the other hand, Zhang Cang said seriously.
"Mr. Nineteen is still too modest. Listening to what you said today, Mr. Nineteen, is better than I, Zhang Cang, who has read books for ten years. Right now, Zhang Cang will study this formula in detail. In addition, Zhang Cang feels , the nineteenth son invented the use of symbols to replace numbers, which is quite feasible, and it is much easier to calculate and write than to use words..."
"That's natural!"
Ying Changsheng nodded repeatedly.
Arabic numerals are nothing more than a few symbols, but this kind of simple and clear numerical symbols that can be easily outlined with a pen is obviously much faster to calculate and use than complicated characters.
Zhang Cang and Zhang Liang were talking about mathematics, but Zhang Liang on the side looked at the paper in front of him with interest.
Well, he doesn't quite know yet.
How did he get the paper? I saw him holding the paper in his hand and asking.
"Your Highness, there is one thing that Zhang Liang doesn't know. What is the name of this thing? Where did he come from?"
"This thing is called paper!"
Seeing that Zhang Liang was puzzled, Zhang Liang who was at the side explained it to him with a smile.
"This thing was invented by the Nineteenth Young Master a few days ago. Now it has been produced in Daqin, and its use has also begun to be promoted in the government offices. This thing is light to use and low in cost. It is really a good thing. Something!”
"It sounds like it is!"
After Zhang Liang heard these advantages, he couldn't help but nodded.
But Zhang Cang smiled wryly again.
"But it is precisely because paper is so light and easy to use that now we officials in charge of collecting books are out of luck!"
"Oh? With such a useful thing, isn't it good for writing and collecting books?"
Zhang Liang was surprised for a while, while Zhang Cang said with a wry smile.
"Advantages are indeed advantages. However, the collection of books in Xianyang Palace is as large as a sea of smoke. All of these collections are written on bamboo slips. Now we need to re-bind them with paper and write a book. Come on, do you know how much manpower is wasted in this?"
"This one……"
Zhang Liang was dumbfounded for a moment.
Well, this one is actually kind of scary.
After all, there are so many books, copying one by one.
When did Temeow copy it?
Shouldn't the wrist be exhausted?
"The only thing we can do is map it out slowly, copy it slowly, and find more writers and writers to do the work..."
Zhang Liang came up with an idea, and then looked at Ying Changsheng again.
"Your Highness, I am willing to agree to serve as the vice president of the academy, but this academy is easy to manage, and it is easy to recruit students. However, where do the academy's textbooks come from?"
Zhang Liang asked a big question!
On the side, Zhang Cang, who was invited by Ying Changsheng to be a math lecturer in the academy, was also stunned.
Yes, textbooks are a big problem!
"In Xianyang Palace, there are so many books, isn't it enough to be used as a teaching material?"
Ying Changsheng chuckled, not paying attention to this question at all.
"There are enough books, but if the students enter the academy to study, each person must not have a set of books to read?"
Zhang Liang murmured.
"Where did such a book come from? I'm afraid we have to find hundreds of writers and writers first, and slowly copy it over a few months before we can find the necessary teaching materials!"
"Uh……"
Ying Changsheng's face suddenly changed.
Well, this is really a serious problem.
In ancient times, it was really easy to engage in education.
Not to mention anything else, textbooks alone are more difficult to get.
Just like at the moment, even Zhang Cang and the others were consuming energy by transcribing the contents of the bamboo slips onto paper, which made them extremely busy.
Now, I want to run an academy, so many students, so many textbooks, copying book by book?
When did that meow do it?
But soon, Ying Changsheng showed a calm expression.
"Isn't it just a book? It couldn't be simpler. I have a method that can copy hundreds or thousands of copies of a book in one day..."
Ying Changsheng said with confidence.
"Your Highness, aren't you joking? Each person has only one hand, and they can only copy a few words in a day. Moreover, if you make a mistake on paper, the paper will be destroyed and you have to rewrite it." , this speed is not much faster, copying hundreds of copies a day? How many hands and feet does this person have to grow? "
Zhang Cang seemed to be familiar with Ying Changsheng and actually started joking.
"People naturally only have one pair of feet!"
Ying Changsheng gave a very serious answer.
Immediately, he asked Zhang Cang again.
"Do you have a seal?"
"Of course there are!"
Although Zhang Cang was wondering what Ying Changsheng wanted the seal for, he still answered honestly.
These days, seals are quite common, especially for officials like Zhang Cang.
"Take it out and let me see it!"
Ying Changsheng said to Zhang Cang.
