Great Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 118 121 The Patriarch of the Mono School

It was just the measurement of a shadow, and Kong Yingda naturally got the final result very quickly.

This time, they couldn't accept it anymore. Facts have proved that this street, which is considered extremely straight by everyone, actually has a certain curvature!

This result really shocked everyone.

And then, more people joined the measurement team one after another.

Humans are such animals, always blindly confident and suspicious.Although Kong Yingda and Yu Shinan have high reputations, they still believe in their eyes more.

Seeing this situation, Zuo Ming just smiled lightly, and then looked at Yuan Tiangang with a complicated expression in his eyes.

"Daoist! How are you thinking about the lecturer?"

"Since Lord Hou has proved the correctness of his theory, Pindao naturally has nothing to say. It's just that Pindao has little talent and learning, but he doesn't know where to start the teaching of the so-called 'astronomy and geography'?"

With a bitter smile, Yuan Tiangang said with a heavy heart.

"Don't worry about that! I will send you the textbook in seven days, and you can play it yourself after reading it!"

After Yuan Tiangang was settled, Zuo Ming was also overjoyed, and immediately said with a hearty smile.

This geography textbook is no better than a chemistry textbook. It's just some words and formulas, and it doesn't take much time.And geography textbooks, but there are countless illustrations.

There are sundial diagrams, lunar dial diagrams, and various contour topographic maps and meteorological wind and cloud maps.He doesn't remember many of these things himself, and many symbols have to be redesigned and redefined by himself, so it takes a lot of time.

There are also candidates for geography lecturers, and then it's the turn of physics and biology.

For physics, Zuo Ming decided to teach him temporarily, because Datang didn't seem to have any outstanding physicists.As for living things, he found the old man Sun Simiao.

This guy was originally a medical student, and he knows all kinds of animals and plants like the palm of his hand. Recently, he fell in love with the low-power microscope at Zuo Ming's house, where he was playing with a few leaves.

When Zuo Ming brought him into the microcosmic world, it also opened a new door for Sun Simiao. Now he just feels as if he has rejuvenated, and started the research and observation of various microcosmic organisms.

Even how some traditional Chinese medicines work has aroused his strong interest.

Seeing Zuo Ming, the first thing Sun Simiao did was to ask him to continue to improve the microscope. He wanted to see finer and smaller!He felt that there should be something more magical in those small cytoplasm.

For this request, Zuo Ming could only respond with a wry smile. Liuli Workshop was already trying to improve the purity of the glass, and he had no way to influence their progress.

After an explanation, Zuo Ming mentioned the proposal of letting him be a biology teacher.

However, unlike Yuan Tiangang and others, Sun Simiao does not seem to be very interested in this matter. Compared with teaching students, he is actually more inclined to continue his research in the laboratory.

However, although he was somewhat reluctant, considering that he still couldn't do without Zuo Ming's technical support for the time being, he could only reluctantly agree.

However, after seeing the textbook Zuo Ming gave him, his original dissatisfaction disappeared in an instant.

The textbook Zuo Ming gave him didn’t have much content, but it contained a lot of illustrations, and it talked about the photosynthesis and fertilization process of some plants, which he had never been exposed to before, which aroused his great interest.

A lecturer in biology is definitely not enough, so after dealing with Sun Simiao, Zuo Ming found a group of imperial doctors from the imperial medical office.

This group of people was much more talkative than Sun Simiao, but they did not forget their duties, they only agreed to go to the academy to attend classes during their shifts, and would stay at the Imperial Medical Office for other times.

Then he became a math teacher. This time he was not looking for an acquaintance, but a man named Wang Xiaotong.

This person is the only mathematician he has confirmed after asking around. Of course, the "great master" here is only relative to the cultural level of the Tang Dynasty.If compared with a person like Zuo Ming who has studied advanced mathematics, he is actually just a middle school student.

This Wang Xiaotong's official position is not high, only rank seven, so when he heard Zuo Ming's visit, he was really flattered and very enthusiastic.

Later, when he heard that Zuo Ming was going to invite him to be a lecturer in the academy he was going to build, Wang Xiaotong blushed with excitement.

The power of Zuo Ming was well known by the whole Tang Dynasty. If such a person came to invite him in person, he only felt that his ancestors had smoked and got such good luck.

Afterwards, Zuo Ming explained to Wang Xiaotong a series of formulas and algorithms including the ninety-nine multiplication table. For these things, Wang Xiaotong really knew them all at once.

Wang Xiaotong learned happily, and Zuo Ming spoke comfortably.

He finally understood why the teachers in his previous life preferred smart students, because as far as he was concerned, if he was facing a fool who couldn't teach, he would definitely beat him.

Wang Xiaotong is a person who loves mathematics so much that he is almost obsessed. Once he is confirmed to teach in the academy, he will resign from his official position directly. The decisiveness is really Zuo Ming's scalp.

When Wang Xiaotong wanted to resign, his wife naturally cried and made noises, but Wang Xiaotong was a stubborn donkey, no matter how much trouble she made, he always insisted on becoming a full-time teacher.

Such a person can marry a wife, which really surprised Zuo Ming for a while, but then in order to prevent this family conflict, he had to take out a large piece of gold, threw it over, and said bluntly, as long as Wang Xiaotong can Go to the academy to teach, and he will give him a gold ingot every month as salary!
This time, the girl burst into tears and burst into joy. She ignored the ancestral glory and other things she said just now, and just kept telling Wang Xiaotong to do a good job. If he can't do it well, he will be fired and don't go home in the future. .

Afterwards, as if she wished Zuo Ming would take Wang Xiaotong away now, she kept asking about the start time of the college.

This change of attitude made Zuo Ming speechless for a while, while Wang Xiaotong was so angry that his face turned black.

He really regretted marrying this woman, it really humiliated him.

Unable to bear the enthusiasm of Mrs. Wang's sister-in-law, Zuo Ming had no choice but to leave in a hurry. Anyway, the construction of the college cannot be completed in a short period of time. Later, he will hand over the mathematics textbook he made to Wang Xiaotong for him to read. There is no such thing as Hands-on teaching is necessary.

When Zuo Ming left the Wang family, the news that Zuo Ming was going to open a college spread throughout Chang'an.

First the legend of turning iron into copper, and then the theory of the earth, some deeds like fairy tales immediately pushed Zuo Ming's reputation to a peak.

Some people even compared him with sages such as Confucius and Mencius.

Later, Kong Yingda, a descendant of Confucius, spread a prophecy to the outside world-Confucius and Mencius are only minded, Zuo's masters things!

This can be regarded as directly establishing the Zuo Ming Ge Wu school's patriarch status.And it was also from this day that Zuo Ming originally wanted to name the college "Zuo's College", but had to change it to "Gewu College".

For this Gewu Academy, Li Shimin expressed his strong support. For this reason, he even forcibly merged the Guozijian into the Gewu Academy.

Since then, the Guozijian has ceased to exist, but has become a "rocket squad"-like existence.

As a student of the "Rocket Class" Guozijian, you will have the right to enjoy the best teachers and academic resources in the entire academy, but if you want to enjoy this right, you must always keep improving and keep your position, otherwise, you will be in danger. People may be squeezed down at any time.

After agreeing to Li Shimin's request to forcibly merge the Guozijian, Zuo Ming naturally wanted to put forward conditions, but his condition was also very simple, that is, to let Li Shimin assign a large part of Nanshan to the academy.

With the experience of creating Yong'an Wharf, Zuo Ming didn't need too much innovation in the construction of the college. All he had to do was recruit the newly established Creative Department of Zuo's Commercial Bank and put forward a few ideas.

The establishment of such a school naturally takes a long time. Before that, the former Guozijian became the temporary teaching office of Gewu College.

Of course, these are things to follow.

After finishing the college affairs, Zuo Ming was in a hurry to start preparing materials and supplies for the Jinshan Department of Western Turkic.

In order to be able to act conveniently, Zuo Ming also used the power of the prince in Xirong Road.

Li Shimin knew about their movements, and Li Shimin directly chose to let them go.He is now focusing all his attention on the east side, and he can only let these little ones make trouble in the west side.

If the trouble is good, he picks up ready-made ones, if the trouble is not good, it is just a loss of some supplies, which is harmless.

However, when Zuo Ming was busy and the sky was dark, a news suddenly came from the palace, saying that the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan had something to look for him.

For Li Yuan, Zuo Ming didn't like him at all. He didn't want to go at first, but his hometown unexpectedly sent an invitation card from Manichaeism, and said bluntly that he had a way to speed up the process of his Western Regions strategy.

The temptation to fight like this was right in front of him, Zuo Ming was naturally reluctant to let him go, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to Daming Palace.

During this period of time, due to the full state treasury and the increase of skilled craftsmen, the Daming Palace was almost completed, and Zuo Ming felt refreshed while walking.

However, when he arrived at Li Yuan's bedroom, his mood, which was already a little comfortable, did turn sour in an instant.

Because the one who invited Zuo Ming to come to Daming Palace was actually not Li Yuan, but the so-called Hundred Enchantress.

At this moment, Li Yuan was already covered in sores and turned into a monster like a toad, and looking at it like this, he might not be far away from death.

How could such a person who couldn't even be awake for a moment have such a clear mind to write such a complicated invitation?

However, despite being depressed, Zuo Ming did not lose his sense of proportion.

Without Li Shimin's acquiescence in this matter, the invitation from Baimei Yaoji would not be able to be sent to the palace, so he immediately let go of his mind and waited for the next step.
