Chapter 220 Jixia Academy
Su Che wanted to make a name for himself, but he came from a humble background, so he had to be careful about the degree.
You must never do anything shocking, otherwise you will put yourself in danger.
A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.
Su Che naturally knew such a simple truth.
If Su Che had a noble status and a starting point like Ying Zheng, he wouldn't have to care about worldly opinions, even if he behaved like a monster.
But Liu Bang was different. If Su Che wanted to do something, he had to be more cautious.
He thought for a long time before finally deciding to take out the modified version of the Nine-Nine Technique.
The art of ninety-nine of this era has a total of 36 sentences, from "ninety-nine equals eighty-one" to "two twos equal four."
Su Che's revised version of the Nine-Nine Art has a total of 45 sentences.
The changes are not huge, but that is what makes them so valuable.
This small change can make math lessons easier to learn.
In fact, Su Che also has "Big Nine Nine".
The so-called Big Nine Nine is the 19X19 mnemonic table.
But this is a little beyond the scope.
So Su Che thought about it and felt that there was no need to take it out.
At this moment, even this little trick caused surprise to the enlightenment teacher Dai Chuke.
Facing Dai Chuke's question, Su Che answered truthfully.
"Sir, I wrote this myself. I saw that the students in the class had a hard time reciting the Nine-Nine Techniques, so I was wondering if I could reform the Nine-Nine Techniques from simple to difficult?"
"If we start from the simplest to the most difficult, it will be easier to learn."
“So we have this now.”
Listening to Su Che's words, Dai Chuke stared at the words carved on the bamboo slips. They were indeed very childish, as if written by a child.
"You actually did this?"
Dai Chuke still couldn't believe it.
He just thought it was interesting at first, but he soon realized that after the transformation, the Nine Nine Techniques became more easy to understand. It is not easy to make any knowledge easy to understand!
Dai Chuke stared at Su Che and asked curiously, "You gave it to me because you want me to help you promote it? Aren't you afraid that I will take away the credit for you?"
"I haven't thought about this." Su Che replied.
In fact, Su Che also had some considerations, otherwise he would not have taken it out a month later.
Although Dai Chuke looks fierce, he is not a bad person. He has his own pride and integrity and would never do such a despicable thing.
Of course, as the saying goes, you can never judge a person by his appearance. What if Dai Chuke would do such a despicable thing?
That's nothing.
Su Che didn't care.
For him, making changes to a small formula of Jiujiu was just a piece of cake and it was easy. Even if he had memorized it, he could easily take out countless of them.
Dai Chuke smiled and nodded, saying, "I will help you publish it. Don't worry, I won't take all the credit from you. I believe that soon, many people in Wei will know that a rare genius has emerged in Fengyi!"
As Dai Chuke said, he did not take away the credit of his students. After publishing the modified Nine Nine Technique, it immediately caused a small sensation and also made Su Che more famous.
But, that’s all.
It's just an enlightenment book and it's impossible for it to cause much of a sensation.
Su Che also knew this, so he was not too disappointed.
After all, he didn't want to shock the world.
I chose to slowly accumulate fame!
Time flies.
Three years passed in the blink of an eye.
Due to Su Che's outstanding performance, he did not go to the Enlightenment Academy last year. However, due to his age and family conditions, he could not go out to study, so he has been studying at home.
Mr. Dai Chuke cared very much about Su Che's knowledge. He believed that Su Che would have a great future, so he brought some books to Su Che every now and then.
There are Confucianists, Mohists, Taoists, and Legalists.
Su Che initially thought that Mr. Dai was a Confucian, but later found that it was not that simple. This enlightenment teacher had no taboos and knew a little bit about everything!
Su Che also asked this question.
Dai Chuke just laughed in response and didn't answer.
In his opinion, as long as it is useful knowledge, it doesn't matter which school or faction it comes from, as long as it can be used!
During these three years.
The name of Su Che, the young genius, spread throughout Fengyi and even the entire Wei State!
In this era, fame is the basis for studying.
It is for this reason that Su Che has been cultivating his own reputation.
If you come from a humble background, you have to accumulate things slowly.
Another year has passed in the blink of an eye.
At the age of ten, Su Che was able to go out to study.
With the introduction of someone, he got the opportunity to study at the Jixia Academy in Qi State.
Traveling with Su Che were several noble sons of the Wei State.
Although Old Man Liu was reluctant to let his beloved third son leave, he could not ruin his future.
In this way, Su Che left his hometown and took a carriage of a Wei noble to Qi.
This year.
Old Master Liu’s fourth son was born.
After much deliberation, Old Man Liu finally gave him the name "Jiao".
It was also in this year that the Qin State in the west.
King Zhuangxiang of Qin, Ying Yiren, died of illness, and the 13-year-old Crown Prince Ying Zheng ascended the throne as King of Qin.
However, according to the tradition of the Warring States Period, the king could not rule the country before he was crowned.
One of the major reasons for this is the cruelty of national competition, which requires the king to be mentally mature and ensure effective governance.
Starting from Qin Xiaogong, except for Qin Zhaowang and Qin Yingzheng, the other five monarchs of Qin State all ascended the throne when they were adults.
King Zhaoxiang of Qin ascended the throne at a young age, and even after he came of age he was still unable to rule the country himself. It was not until he was over 50 years old that he regained power.
It took King Zhao of Qin more than 40 years to travel this distance.
And today's Ying Zheng also has to go through this long road before he can rule the country himself.
The Qin State’s capping ceremony could be held at any time between the ages of 21 and 23.
In other words, Ying Zheng's period of throne vacancy would last at least eight years.
This tradition was forcibly transcended during the time when Su Che imitated Ying Zheng because of his genius and the support of Bai Qi and others.
But this time, Ying Zheng was not mature enough and had no support, so he naturally could not abolish the rules of his ancestors.
In the next eight years, the young Qin King Ying Zheng will bide his time and train his minions in secret.
There are few records about this period in relevant historical materials such as "Records of the Grand Historian".
However, it can be inferred that during this period, Ying Zheng was growing rapidly and constantly accumulating his political power.
After all, the first thing Ying Zheng did after he took power was to put down the Lao Ai rebellion in one fell swoop.
You must know that during this period, many ministers lost their rights, and even Lu Buwei was sidelined to a certain extent. The power of the Lao Ai group was growing stronger day by day.
Such a situation is extremely dangerous for any emperor who is inexperienced in the world.
However, Ying Zheng, who had just taken power, cut the Gordian knot and easily put down the rebellion of Lao Ai.
This is enough to show how extraordinary Emperor Ying Zheng was!
now.
Qin State.
The thirteen-year-old Qin King Ying Zheng had already selected several of his allies, namely -
Wang Jian.
Meng Tian.
Li Si.
These are rare talents!
Wang Jian, the future general of the Qin army.
He is a man of great talent and has great potential. He is highly regarded by veteran generals in the army. The most exaggerated one is that he has the talent of Bai Qi!
However, even if he is not as good as the God of Death Bai Qi...
If you have half of General Bai Qi's ability, you'd be amazing!
Meng Tian is roughly the same age as Ying Zheng.
Meng Tian's grandfather Meng Ao was the general of the Qin State, and Meng Tian's father Meng Wu was a general of the Qin army and was very influential in the army.
Making friends with Meng Tian can help Ying Zheng further control the Qin army.
As for Li Si, although he was a retainer of Lu Buwei, he was a man of great talent and a disciple of Xunzi, and Ying Zheng had heard of him long ago.
Naturally, Li Si was unwilling to be a retainer forever. As long as Ying Zheng was willing, it would be easy to win him over.
In fact, Li Si had already had this idea.
He had already prepared his strategy for meeting Ying Zheng - "destroy the princes, establish the empire, and unify the world"!
The distant Qin State.
The destinies of three ministers and a future emperor are about to collide.
And this side.
Su Che was riding in a carriage of the Wei nobles and had already left the Wei border.
Along the way, Su Che did not show the inferiority and sensitivity of a countryman. Instead, he was very calm. When those noble children came to talk to him, Su Che could respond calmly and even chat with them for a long time, talking about some topics that interested them.
When discussing academic matters, Su Che had more topics to talk about. He displayed his profound knowledge without reservation, which made these noble children admire him very much.
After embarking on the journey of studying at the Jixia Academy, Su Che no longer had to be so low-key and could occasionally show his brilliance.
Those who traveled with Su Che basically all had the surname "Wei", which shows how noble their status was.
Before the Spring and Autumn Period, the surnames of nobles were inherited from their ancestors, so they remained unchanged for hundreds of generations and were relatively stable.
The surname of a noble is derived from the ancestor with whom he is most closely related by blood, and it will also change with the changes of fiefdoms and official positions.
Therefore, one person's descendants may have several surnames, or the father and son may have different surnames.
Those who could have the surname "Wei" in the State of Wei were basically royal relatives.
Commoners like Liu Bang also have their own surname, and Liu is his surname.
After all, even if they are commoners, they may have once been nobles.
However, for ordinary people, the concept of surname is simply irrelevant.
Starting from the Qin and Han Dynasties, the concept of surnames will be integrated and the distinction will be completely abolished.
In fact.
In the even earlier Shang Dynasty.
The word "common people" does not refer to the common people, but the nobles.
Before the merger of the country and the wild, the people were citizens of the country, part of the country's ruling class, and the main force of the army.
The real lower class people don’t have a surname, only their own name.
Later on, they gradually developed "surnames".
Times are changing.
The common people became real people.
Surnames are also mixed up.
In Su Che's modern times, even words have been abandoned.
The carriage made a creaking sound and the body of the carriage kept shaking. Su Che looked at the pristine scenery outside the window, but he was thinking about another thing in his heart.
It has been four years since I personally intervened .
During these four years, Su Che followed the rules and took every step carefully. He didn't do anything particularly exaggerated, and he didn't even practice martial arts much.
As the saying goes, the poor are good at literature and the rich are good at martial arts. The Liu family already had a hard time supporting Su Che's studies, and they also wanted to train him in martial arts? It was really a foolish dream.
Therefore, Su Che could only practice some basic skills of cultivating immortals to make his body stronger and healthier - even so, there was still a considerable expense.
Fortunately, Su Che could go to the mountains to hunt some prey and look for some mountain products when he went out to play. At first, it was some pheasants, rabbits, wild vegetables, wild fruits, and fungi. Later, when he became a little stronger, he began to hunt some jackals, tigers and leopards as supplements.
With Su Che's current strength, protecting himself should not be a problem, but he is still a long way from being able to defeat ten thousand enemies.
The martial power level in this world is not that high, is it considered a low-level martial arts world?
It seems to be similar to the last time I simulated Ying Zheng.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month passed, and Su Che and his party finally arrived at the Jixia Academy.
Su Che finally got his wish and met Xunzi.
After this meeting and some conversation, Su Che successfully became Xunzi's disciple and became the youngest disciple.
Originally, Xunzi didn't want to accept a disciple because of his old age, but after a conversation, he found that this child was very talented and rare in the world, so he couldn't help but accept him as a disciple.
Xunzi's disciples were all very surprised. It had only been a short time, but the teacher actually accepted another disciple?
Some time ago, Xunzi said that he did not want to accept any more disciples, but he still accepted a disciple named Zhang Cang.
It hasn't been such a long time and yet another one has been received!
After Su Che paid his respects to Xunzi, he went to pay his respects to his fellow disciples. When he saw the chubby Zhang Cang, he couldn't help but laugh: "Hello, little disciple."
"Hello, hello." Zhang Cang and Liu Bang were the same age. Zhang Cang, who was only ten years old, looked a little silly. After hearing that he had become the senior brother, he was particularly happy and said with a smile: "From now on, I am not the junior brother anymore, you are!"
"Then junior brother, you must take good care of me in the future and shoulder the responsibility of being a senior brother." Su Che said.
"Ah?" Zhang Cang's eyes widened when he heard this. He couldn't believe it for a moment : "This is not right!"
"What's wrong?" Su Che was a little surprised.
"As a junior fellow student, shouldn't I be filial to my senior fellow brothers?" Zhang Cang asked back.
When he first started, his senior brothers all fooled him because he was the youngest disciple and should be filial to his senior brothers. Zhang Cang was ordered around many times because of this. Why is it that when it comes to the new junior brother, it is the senior brothers who have to take responsibility?
"Disciples should serve their teachers. Even the teacher's self-cultivation chapter says that a gentleman honors his teacher and is close to his friends. I have never seen a saint say that one should serve his senior brother. Instead, it is the senior brother who should take care of his junior brother." Su Che said seriously.
When Zhang Cang heard this, he was completely dumbfounded, because he felt it made a lot of sense!
"Okay!" Zhang Cang nodded helplessly and muttered, "I'm going to go find them and ask them for clarification!"
As a result, not long after, Zhang Cang was convinced by other reasons and was speechless for a moment.
Why do the words of my senior and junior brothers make so much sense?
Looking at the dejected Zhang Cang, Su Che just found it very funny.
