An hour later.
There was an object shaped like a shield on the table. There was an iron nail on the top, and the bottom was divided into five areas by wooden strips. There was also a small ball on the right side, and there was a spring structure underneath to bounce the ball up.
Teaching Aids
The base is a small stool that can be opened and propped up.
Looking at this strange thing, Li Yuanzhao fell into deep thought: "Is this a teaching aid?"
Isn't it just a teaching aid? Fang Zheng was very proud.
This is the classic marble scam, popular at the entrances of primary and secondary schools.
He has always suffered from this. He was cheated out of more than 20 yuan in elementary school and missed out on dozens of bags of spicy strips. It is a lifelong regret.
As for the specific principle of this thing, I saw it later on TikTok. Because of my miserable childhood, I remember it very clearly.
Right now, this thing is just right as a teaching aid, and can be used to trick children into learning to do their homework.
"Not only can it be used as a teaching aid, but you can also make money with it!"
"Huh? How to make money?" Li Yuanzhao looked at the teaching aids in confusion.
Fang Zheng picked up the pen and wrote down ten taels, twenty taels, fifty taels, seventy taels, and one hundred taels on the teaching aid from left to right. Then he asked, "Your Highness, do you have money? If you do, I can play two games with you."
"How to play if you have money?"
"It's simple. You pull the rod at the back, and when the ball bounces into the corresponding box, I'll give you the corresponding amount of silver. Ten taels for each bounce. I'll let you try it twice first." Fang Zheng said calmly.
"Then you will definitely lose money!" Li Yuanzhao laughed, stretched out his hand and pulled the lever.
The ball popped out and landed easily in the seventy-two taels column.
"Give me money!" Li Yuanzhao stretched out his hand.
Fang Zheng's face darkened: "What's the money for the trial?"
"You'll lose so much! I'll play ten times first, and then I'll give you a hundred taels." Li Yuanzhao generously took out a hundred taels silver note and slapped it in front of Fang Zhengyi.
Fang Zheng took the banknote with a smile and moved his fingers twice silently under the marble panel.
"I'm willing to admit defeat."
Half an hour later, ignoring the prince who was chasing him anxiously, Fang Zhengyi fled out of the palace with 1,500 taels of silver and teaching aids.
....
One month later
Inside the cabinet, there was harmony and everyone was working on their own business.
Zheng Qiao suddenly said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has made another report."
Li Yansong asked, "Why do you want to let the emperor's grandson enter Yucai Primary School?"
Everyone in the room raised their heads. Zheng Qiao rubbed his brows and said, "Yes, it seems that His Highness is determined to send the emperor's grandson there. This is the third time."
Zhang Dongxiang snorted coldly, "How can the emperor's grandson leave the palace so easily? In the past, he studied in the Zhanshi Mansion. This is not a good example. Even though many ministers in the court sent their young people to Yucai, the teaching there is modern and there is no risk."
"Then where are you going to send your grandson?" Zheng Qiao joked.
Zhang Dongxiang's face suddenly turned red, and he said angrily, "I thought their food was good and the tuition was cheap. Besides, you didn't send it? Didn't Mr. Li send it?"
Li Yansong showed displeasure: "I didn't want to send my child there at first. I just saw that those colleagues with weak wills in the court sent their children there. If I don't send one, it will seem unsociable. The child will have no playmates in the future."
"Mr. Li said it well. Didn't you go to Yucai Primary School for classes in the middle of the month? How is the situation there now?" Zheng Qiao said with a smile.
Yucai Primary School is a boarding school, and it is very difficult for ordinary parents to visit their children. In addition, they are busy themselves and basically have no time to visit.
Li Yansong shook his head and said, "What can I see? I was only there for a short while. There were only young children there and they couldn't understand the lectures. But according to the kindergarten teacher's report, the situation inside is not bad. Aren't we going home for the day off today?"
When it comes to kindergarten teachers, everyone in the cabinet can't help but prick up their ears and many people have wild thoughts.
A major feature of this kindergarten teacher is her regular home visits. She wears a moon-white cheongsam and sits down at every home.
There are also some etiquettes for sitting down. You have to sit sideways with your legs together, and sometimes you can even reveal a part of your snow-white ankle.
There is charm in every gesture...the whole family is looking forward to coming!
"I don't know how many words I learned or how many poems I memorized when I went home during the holidays." Zhang Dongxiang said this while stroking his beard.
Everyone fell into thought.
Yes, when I signed up, I listened to Fang Zheng’s nonsense and signed up on impulse.
He did have outstanding academic performance when he was young, which shows that his family had good teaching methods. But is what suited him really suitable for others?
Fang Zhengyi's brain is obviously different from that of an ordinary person...
"What's the point of thinking so much? You'll know when you get off work and go to Yucai to take the child home."
.....
By the afternoon, the entrance of Yucai Primary School was crowded with people, and horse-drawn carriages blocked the entire street.
This was the end of the first semester at Yucai Primary School and the school was on holiday. People who hadn’t seen their children or grandchildren for several months came to pick them up in person.
Therefore, all the people who came were high-ranking officials wearing official uniforms.
Although it was only three or four in the afternoon and not yet time to get off duty, few people present cared about getting off duty on time.
You're not a low-level worker, so why do you have to be so punctual when leaving get off work?
Zhang Dongxiang was among them, standing on tiptoe and looking nervously into the campus.
It is said that children are closer to their grandparents. Although he has many grandchildren, the one he sent this time is the youngest one.
His name is Zhang Ling, and he is only five years old. I haven’t seen him for such a long time, and I was worried that he might be suffering from something wronged in there.
Waited for more than ten minutes.
The big iron gate outside gradually opened, and Zhang Biao stood aside with a knife in his hand. Seeing this, everyone was afraid to step forward.
Until a whistle sounded, fifty children dressed in colorful clothes lined up and came out, waving pieces of paper in their hands.
Zhang Dongxiang anxiously searched among the children, and after a moment he locked his eyes on Zhang Ling.
Shouting: "Ling'er!"
Zhang Ling was also stunned. A bright smile appeared on her pink face, and she stood up and ran quickly towards Zhang Dongxiang.
"grandfather."
Hearing the familiar voice, Zhang Dongxiang looked at Zhang Ling carefully.
Taller! Stronger! Looks good too, no harm done!
Everything looked good. The wrinkles on Zhang Dongxiang's face were completely stretched out and he picked up Zhang Ling.
Zhang Ling smiled and kissed Zhang Dongxiang on the face.
Homework done!
After being hit by this sudden move, Zhang Dongxiang was overjoyed.
He looked at his grandson with a smile on his face, and when he saw a crumpled piece of paper in his hand, he asked, "What is this paper?"
Zhang Ling said crisply, "This is the tuition list for next semester that Principal Fang asked us to give to our families!"
