"At the age of eight or ten." Luo Xin thought for a while and said, "At this age, he can take care of himself, and he absorbs knowledge very quickly."

"Well, the third question is, what do we teach? According to the adults, they will not teach the Four Books and Five Classics, and they should teach them to study things."

"Yes, these people will become scientific talents in the future."

"What will the lord teach these people?"

Luo Xin pondered for a moment and said, "Let's start with three subjects. The first subject is Chinese. This subject is mainly based on the Three Character Classic. First teach the child to recognize words."

"Yes, the Three Character Classic is the best elementary school, and recognition of characters is the basis. If you give a good name in Chinese, you will be a great master."

Luo Xin couldn't help but smile and continued, "The second homework is mathematics."

"math?"

"It's just counting."

"Well, but wouldn't it be too difficult?"

"It's not difficult to start with basic teaching. I'll compile a textbook for you to see."

"Adults want to compile textbooks?"

"Well, soon, when you come back from Nanjing, the first volume will be almost done."

Zheng Ruozeng's eyes showed disbelief. How could it be so easy to edit a book? It often takes a person several years, or even a lifetime, to write a book. How could it be so easy to edit a book?

However, Zheng Ruozeng didn't know how to contradict Luo Xin, after all, Luo Xin was very sure. So he decided to wait to come back from Nanjing before talking about it.

"Is there any more?" Luo Xin asked.

"Not yet."

"Another subject should be added."

“What subject?”

"Martial Arts." Luo Xin said in a narrow voice: "I don't want to teach a group of nerds, and I don't want to teach them the power of a chicken. Of course, I don't expect them to become powerful generals. At least I'm healthy. I will send someone to lay the foundation for their martial arts."

"Yes, only with a strong body can you have strong energy." Zheng Ruozeng agreed.

"But there is one problem." Luo Xin said: "The students in our college cannot follow the path of imperial examinations. Because I regard the Chinese subject as one of many subjects, and will not let them study the Four Books and Five Classics hard. After laying the foundation, they will learn to investigate things. I will refine them into physics and chemistry. I don't have the time and energy to let them go to the imperial examinations."

"This is not a problem," Zheng Ruozeng said: "Those colleges were not scholars in the past."

"But we always have to give them a way out. Let's go forward while exploring."

The two of them gradually fell asleep.

The second day.

Zheng Ruozeng resigned when he returned to Nanjing, Luo Xin returned to Suzhou and began to edit books, and Sharon and others began to translate logic.

Another seven days later.

Luo Yuan has been completely renovated, and Luo Xin has also completed the first and second volumes of mathematics. In fact, it was not written by him. He just slightly changed the primary school mathematics textbooks of later generations and copied them out.

Luo Xin handled government affairs for a while, but in fact there was no government affairs, everything was on the right track. Luo Xin came to Hangzhou again. He had already received a letter from Zheng Ruozeng, and in a few days, he would return to Hangzhou.

When Luo Xin came to Hangzhou, the first thing he did was to buy two small houses near Luoyuan as a gift to Zheng Ruozeng. When someone came with his family, he had to arrange a residence, and it was not easy for them to live in Luoyuan with Sharon and others.

The remaining house was given to another teacher. This teacher was Luo Xin's aide, a scholar, and he did not pass the imperial examination. He was not young anymore and lost the confidence to continue the scientific examination. Luo Xin took him to Hangzhou and asked him to serve as the Chinese teacher at Luoyuan College.

In addition to Lu Daqing and Wan Daquan, there was also a team of cavalrymen. Luo Xin was planning to stay in Luoyuan to take care of Luoyuan and solve some problems. He was also a martial arts teacher at the academy.

Because they wanted to take care of Luoyuan, Luo Xin did not buy a house for them, but asked them to live in Luoyuan.

At this time, Luo Xin had an idea in his mind, that is, to run for one year. If everything develops in a good direction, Luo Xin will prepare to convert the manor outside the city into a real college. Moreover, the places around the manor belong to Luo Xin, and there are enough places to build a college.

Before Zheng Ruozeng arrived, the convoy transporting books from the capital arrived, and there was also a small printing workshop. The books translated by Luo Xin in the future needed to be printed, and they could not be sent to the capital every time. For example, the mathematics compiled this time was not large in use, so a small workshop was needed.

After putting all the books into the library, Luo Xin handed over the first volume of mathematics to the workshop and asked them to print it.

Another day passed, and Zheng Ruozeng finally arrived with his family.

Luo Xin sent Zheng Ruozeng to the house he had purchased. Zheng Ruozeng looked calm, but his wife kept expressing her gratitude.

Luo Xin ordered food and food to deliver it in the tavern, and then welcomed Zheng Ruozeng here. Before leaving, he threw down a book of mathematics and left with a smile.

Luo Xin lived in Luoyuan that night.

Early the next morning.

Zheng Ruozeng ran to Luoyuan with red eyes and two dark circles. Luo Xin was practicing martial arts at this time, so Zheng Ruozeng walked back and forth in the narrator, extremely anxious.

After Luo Xin received the power, Zheng Ruozeng came straight to Luo Xin.

"Where is the second volume?"

Luo Xin looked at the dark circles on his face and shook his head and said, "Kaiyang, you'd better go back and have a nap."

"I won't sleep, give me a second volume!"

"You have finished reading all the books?"

"I've finished reading!"

"Did you understand all?"

Zheng Ruozeng rolled his eyes: "I have also studied arithmetics. It's not difficult for you to do it. It's just that there is an extra number such as 12345, and there are any signs of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, which is not difficult to understand. Am I also a talented man?"

Luo Xin gave a thumbs up and walked towards the room. Zheng Ruozeng followed behind and shouted:

"Where is the second volume?"

Luo Xin picked up the second book of mathematics from the table and handed it to Zheng Ruozeng. Zheng Ruozeng immediately sat on the chair, completely forgot about Luo Xin, and started to read there in a fascination.

Luo Xin ignored him and started washing and eating. After smelling the smell of the rice, Zheng Ruozeng finally put down his book and came to the dining table. He served a bowl of porridge himself and started eating.

"You didn't have breakfast?" Luo Xin asked in surprise.

Zheng Ruozeng rolled his eyes and said, "Don't you see how early I came?"

Luo Xin looked at him with laughter and cry and said, "Who told you to come so early?"

"What? You feel so heartbroken when you have a breakfast?"

"Eat, eat hard." This time it was Luo Xin's turn to roll his eyes.
