In a quiet Yayuan in the capital, Hu Xiwen, Sun Yun, and Chen Maoyi are learning new things. This Yayuan was also rented by Sun Yun, a wealthy man.
The Sun Yun family is different from the Hu Xiwen family. The Sun Yun family is considered a scholarly family. His grandfather and father are both scholars. His grandfather was a Jinshi and became an official at the fourth rank. His father was also a Juren family, but he never passed the exam. Finally he became a county magistrate.
Coming from such a family, Sun Yun's conditions are naturally much better than Hu Xiwen's. When he came to the capital, he came a few months in advance, so he simply rented an elegant garden, which is convenient for studying and living, and the main thing is quiet.
Although the hotel is comfortable to stay in, there are so many people in the hotel that it is difficult to calm down and study quietly. Especially many candidates at the same time are always invited to go around and participate in various activities, which delays their preparation for the exam.
"This new knowledge is also profound and profound!"
"In the past, I always felt that this new study was a heretical miscellany, not worth mentioning, and not worth learning."
"But when it comes to actually learning it, this new learning is quite difficult."
"If nothing else, mathematics alone is very interesting. Many problems and things can actually be calculated and solved using mathematics."
Sun Yun put down the Encyclopedia of Elementary Mathematics in his hand and couldn't help but admire it.
As a traditional scholar, he has never read the newly learned books. Now he has to study the newly learned content for the scientific examination.
After this study, I suddenly discovered that the content of the new study is actually very broad and profound, and there is deep knowledge in it.
And compared with the rote memorization of the Four Books and Five Classics, the content of this new study is broader, the knowledge is broader, and it is also more interesting. It requires more active learning and flexible thinking.
"It's really not easy!"
"I am currently learning the content and knowledge of basic physics. It turns out that many things are related to physics, such as the buoyancy of air, atmospheric pressure, buoyancy of water, friction, etc. Once you learn this knowledge of physics, it is still very useful. Yes, there is also electricity and magnetism. Electromagnetism can produce each other, electricity produces magnetism, magnetism produces electricity, and various phenomena."
Chen Maoyi also followed suit.
"I didn't bother to learn this before. I always felt that this thing was a heresy and not as good as the teachings of saints. But now it seems that this new learning still has merit. It specializes in studying the laws of nature and utilizing them. It¡¯s all these new things we¡¯re seeing now.¡±
"This steam engine actually boils water and lets the water steam push the piston to work. The principle is very simple, but when it comes to actually doing it, there is a lot, a lot of knowledge involved."
"No, this new school is very broad and profound. When my younger brother and sister were studying in the new school, I taught myself a lot of the new content and taught them."
"This new science is actually very powerful. For example, some professors in the new science are currently studying the calculation of the speed of light. It is said that the preliminary calculated numbers are very amazing, saying that the speed of light is about 290,000 kilometers per second."
Hu Xiwen also spoke.
"Brother Hu, have you learned anything new?"
When Sun Yun and Chen Maoyi heard this, their eyes widened slightly. Hu Xiwen had learned a new lesson in emotions. Doesn't this mean that he would have an advantage in this imperial examination?
You must know that few of you have learned this new thing before, and now you are sharpening your skills before the battle. However, the content of the new thing is very extensive. How much can you learn in these two months?
This is still self-study. I am afraid that everyone will do very poorly in the exam. Hu Xiwen has studied by himself before, so the advantage is too great.
"You also know the situation in my family. My family can only blame me for studying in the college, while my younger brothers and sisters all go to the new school."
¡°My parents are uneducated, and I am often the tutor in this family, so I started to learn new things very early. After self-study, I teach my younger brothers and sisters, and I know a little bit about the new things.¡±
¡°It¡¯s probably luck this time. I didn¡¯t expect that the imperial court would carry out reforms in this area.¡±
Hu Xiwen said with a smile, feeling happy in his heart. This reform is a great advantage for him. He has been reading books about his younger brothers and sisters since he was a child. Although he is self-taught, he is smart and can learn many things quickly.
"Brother Hu, Brother Hu, if we don't understand, you need to give me more guidance and teach me."
Sun Yun immediately said quickly: "Brother Hu must be able to go to high school this time. Brother Hu is only ten years old.". "
"Yes, yes, continue to study hard, the new knowledge is profound and profound, but this is the first time to introduce the new content. It must not be too difficult. As long as we study a little, we can still gain something."
"I heard that a lot of students went to Donghua Gate to make trouble, saying they were threatening to stop taking exams."
"Don't just join in the fun. When the emperor is angry, he will directly cancel your honors and exam qualifications, and it will be over."
"That's right, the emperor is introducing new learning for the good of us scholars, for the sake of the country, for the sake of the country, and for the long-term prosperity of the Ming Dynasty. It is always good to learn more things. Wherever they are making trouble, what good is it? "
"This reform of the imperial examination is said to be led by Liu Gong, the chief minister of the current cabinet. Although there are ministers in the court who oppose it, most ministers support it, and the emperor supports it even more."
¡°That¡¯s right, ignore those people, let¡¯s study hard and get to high school in one fell swoop!¡±
