In front of the Institute of Mathematics.
In the luxurious carriage of the Li family, Li Zexuan forcefully changed the topic. Kong Yingda saw that he could not persuade the young man in front of him, so he simply went with the flow and discussed the issue of pinyin with Li Zexuan.
There were brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone in the carriage. Li Zexuan took the brushes and brushes and wrote and drew while teaching Kong Yingda some pinyin knowledge. This old Confucian scholar's cultural foundation was indeed profound. In less than half an hour, Kong Yingda had a simple grasp of pinyin.
"Not bad, not bad. Professor Li, pinyin is indeed magical. If you can spread this method of learning words, your name will definitely go down in history. I want to be the first to spread pinyin in the six institutes of the Imperial College. I wonder if Professor Li is willing? "
After Kong Yingda understood the magical effects of pinyin, he could not help but praise.
Li Zexuan pondered for a moment and nodded. "Of course!"
Although the students of the Imperial College had long learned how to read, there was still a need to teach them how to read. Most of the students belonged to the elite class of the current young people. After they understood the benefits of pinyin, when they left the Imperial College, they would either become officials, enter the court, or just become teachers. However, they would all bring pinyin to other places. They would also be the first batch of seeds to spread pinyin. Thus, Li Zexuan agreed with Kong Yingda's idea very much.
"Then from tomorrow onwards, I'll have to trouble Professor Li to teach pinyin to all the instructors, professors, and teaching assistants of the Imperial College every afternoon. I estimate that after four or five days, all of them will have mastered the pinyin literacy method. At that time, they will teach the students of the Imperial College. What do you think? "
Kong Yingda thought for a moment and said the pinyin teaching plan that he had been considering for a long time.
Kong Yingda had learned that Li Zexuan would be "lazy" every afternoon. Although this guy had his own "legitimate reasons", the fact that he was "lazy" was indisputable. Therefore, Kong Yingda deliberately set the training time to be every afternoon.
This way, it would not delay the teaching plan of the School of Mathematics and Mathematics, and it would also promote pinyin in the shortest time possible.
When Li Zexuan heard Old Man Kong's words, he was immediately flabbergasted. Damn, is this old man purposely messing with me? Does this count as me digging a hole and burying myself?
"Chancellor Kong, you mustn't do that. You might not know but this junior contracted a strange illness when I was young. Later on, I was saved by my master and this junior avoided the misfortune of dying early. However, for the next few years, this junior must rest every afternoon. Otherwise, this junior will definitely lose my life!"
Li Zexuan suddenly had an idea and immediately cried out pitifully.
Although Kong Yingda didn't know what it meant to spit out a mouthful of old blood, at this moment, he was really about to vomit blood because of Li Zexuan. He had lived for so long and had seen countless people and things. What kind of strange things had he not heard? As soon as he heard Li Zexuan's words, he knew that this kid was talking nonsense.
"You, you, you …."
Kong Yingda pointed at Li Zexuan with a face full of anger. He was so angry that he trembled and couldn't say anything.
When Li Zexuan saw the situation, he felt that he had gone overboard. He immediately stood up and patted Kong Yingda's chest to soothe his heart.
"Uh, Chancellor Kong, calm down, calm down. This kid was just joking with you, please don't take it seriously."
Kong Yingda drank a cup of tea and only then did he catch his breath. He lectured Li Zexuan with a solemn face.
"Brat! I know that you have some attainments in mathematics and have some smarts in other areas but you have to know that a Daoist also has a conscience. At the beginning, a man's nature is good because he has a conscience. Therefore, a teacher should follow a person's good nature and promote their good nature while suppressing their evil. This is to pass on Daoism.
As a teacher, if you don't study how to teach and educate people wholeheartedly, how can you be a role model for others? The spread of Pinyin is extremely important to the education of our Great Tang. You have to do it diligently. Otherwise, in the future, you will have to stay in the Imperial College to teach and not go anywhere! "
Kong Yingda's voice was stern and he was so frightened that he spat at Li Zexuan's face. Li Zexuan's face was full of helplessness. It seemed that Old Kong was really angry this time.
"Yes, Chancellor Kong's lesson is right! This kid will definitely teach Pinyin to the teachers of the Imperial College. "
In order to ensure that he could continue to rest in the afternoon, Li Zexuan could only compromise and sacrifice these few days to teach Pinyin to the teachers of the Imperial College.
Otherwise, what else could he do? He couldn't go up and fight with this old man. Although he was sometimes a little muddle-headed, he still knew how to respect the old and love the young. Moreover, Kong Yingda had the moral high ground and his words weren't without reason. The spread of Pinyin was indeed very important!
Kong Yingda nodded his head in satisfaction and prepared to get off the carriage. Suddenly, he turned his head and said, "I heard from His Majesty that you, the Crown Prince, King Wei and the others are working together to compile a dictionary that includes Pinyin. If you don't have enough manpower, you can tell me and I will send some scholars of the Imperial College to assist you."
"Thank you for your kind intentions, Chancellor Kong, but I have enough manpower."
He had received news yesterday that Su Shizhang, Xue Shou, Yan Xiangcun from the Eastern Palace, as well as Xiao Deyan, Gu Yin, Jiang Yaqing, Xie Yan and the other scholars of the Literature Hall under Li Tai were all in the back hall of the workshop. The compilation of the "Great Tang Dictionary" was already in full swing and they had enough manpower.
"Yes, this dictionary is very important. Professor Li, you must pay attention to it. After the compilation of the dictionary is completed, you must inform me. I must go and take a look at such a grand literary event."
"Of course, of course! Rest assured, Chancellor Kong! "
Li Zexuan hurriedly cupped his hands and promised. He only hoped that the "Chancellor" would leave quickly and not create any more trouble.
...
A moment later, Li Zexuan wiped the sweat off his forehead. He had finally sent away the old-fashioned great scholar of the present age. He thought to himself, It seems that this brother's good days are about to come to an end. This is really f * cking miserable! But it should only take a few days of hard work. He hoped that the instructors of the Imperial College could learn Pinyin fast enough.
After a while, the bell for the morning class rang. Li Zexuan went home with Iron Egg and Lan'er in a low mood. The two little guys could see that Li Zexuan was not in a good mood, so they did not talk and laugh along the way. They were very obedient and accompanied Li Zexuan.
After lunch, the two little guys continued to go to school. Of course, it was still the "luxury car" that picked them up. Li Zexuan enjoyed this last leisurely afternoon alone in the West Courtyard. He could not help but start to think about spring again. If only my baby Yuxi was here! He could hug his wife every day, eat, sleep and play with Doudou. This kind of life, even the gods would not change!
As he thought about it, he could not help but drool.
