"Ah?" Li Maocai and Chen Yubi looked at Zhao Hao blankly. Is the teacher talking about us?

"How long have they studied? You have only studied for a few days?" In order to retain the young and future cabinet ministers, Zhao Hao was forced to use his skills of magnetism.

"Do you know how they learn? They study day and night, forgetting to eat or sleep. They think sitting down to eat is a waste of time. They eat when they have time or eat while learning... Often they mistake ink for yellow sauce and dip it in steamed buns, leaving a mouthful of black food."

"Is that so..." The two of them felt better and couldn't help but reflect: "We really haven't worked hard enough."

"Besides, the research methods of you social scientists are not the same as those of natural scientists." Zhao Hao relieved the pressure on the two and said, "You don't need such complicated calculations. At most, you can learn about probability,

Calculus and functions are pretty much the same... at your level, it's no problem at all."

"Really, teacher?" The two of them seemed to have unloaded a huge burden.

"Really? You'll know if you learn from me." Zhao Hao asked with a smile, "How are you thinking about it? Which one are you going to choose?"

"Teacher, I want to study political science." Chen Yubi's answer was not surprising. After all, the study of power order is too tempting.

"Teacher, I want to study economics." Li Maocai's answer surprised Zhao Hao a little.

"Oh?" Zhao Hao looked at the Prime Minister's son and asked, "Why did you want to learn this?"

"I heard from my father that the problem of the Ming Dynasty is mainly economic." Li Maocai said shyly: "I am not overestimating my own abilities, but I want to see if I can do something for the Ming Dynasty in this regard."

"Well, you are all great." Zhao Hao was just saying New Year's greetings. "Then I will teach you these two kinds of knowledge respectively."

The two were overjoyed upon hearing this. They quickly put down their bowls and bowed four times to Zhao Hao, officially becoming his registered disciples.

"Can we get to the table now?" Zhao Hao also breathed a sigh of relief. The master-disciple relationship is not a teacher-student relationship, it is a lifelong bond. Betraying the master is a betrayal of the master and ancestors, and will be judged by the social court.

See where you are running to!

"Thank you, Master." Li Maocai and Chen Yubi climbed onto the kang happily, as if it was a great honor.

When they got on the kang, they exchanged a quick glance. The self-torture trick worked, brother...

After lunch, Zhao Hao rushed to Dashamao Hutong and took Wang Wuyang to teach the Zhang brothers.

There is no other way. I have to set off the day after tomorrow, so I have to divide my time into three parts.

Knowing that this was the last lesson that Teacher Zhao would give them, Zhang Jingxiu and others had been waiting for his arrival at the entrance of the alley.

When Zhao Hao jumped out of the car, he found that even Zhang Xiaojing was wearing a beautiful dress and came out with her brothers to greet him.

Today, Zhang Xiaojing wore a light green sweetheart-neck plum blossom-style skirt, revealing a white silk bamboo leaf-style collared blouse underneath. The jewelry she wore was just the right amount, neutralizing the otherworldly feeling of this celestial girl and making her look more approachable.

Zhang Xiaojing called "Brother Zhao" and bowed to him.

"Thank you, sister." Zhao Hao smiled and nodded to her, saying, "I don't have a companion today."

"The county lady said she would not come today." Zhang Xiaojing said with a smile.

"Well, she asked me for leave." Zhao Hao thought to himself, this is because she has an exam today.

While talking to the Zhang brothers and sisters, Zhao Hao was surrounded by the crowd and came to the school in the East Courtyard.

After the students took their seats, they greeted the teacher again. After they were seated, Zhao Hao began today's lecture.

The title of this last lesson is 'Why study science'.

“Science is not a specific discipline, nor is it an absolute truth. It is the way we look at the world and solve problems…”

On this warm sunny afternoon, Teacher Zhao began his sermon again.

But it was different from teaching a group of scientists how to do science in the morning.

In the afternoon, Zhao Hao faced a group of students who took science as an elective course as a hobby.

But after the popular science lessons in the previous few classes, he still hopes to lead them into the door of science and not let any of them escape.

Otherwise, why would I go through all this trouble?

Right, Xiaojing.

Therefore, Zhao Hao's lecture this time was very simple and vivid, and the focus was not on scientific research, but on the role of science in life.

"Ancient philosophers had many ways to understand the world and guide their actions, such as the study of things to gain knowledge. Science is just a similar method. But the inherent characteristics of science determine that it is the best way for us to recognize our environment and stay on the right track."

"Of course, we can also completely follow the teachings of our teachers and study the classics of the saints. But this means giving up the most precious ability to think independently, which distinguishes humans from animals!"

"I showed you last time that no two snowflakes are alike. This is especially true for complex and advanced humans like us, but without the ability to think independently, we would all be the same, with no difference."

"If you are willing to think independently, then science is your compass. It cannot tell you which way to go next, but it can always tell you where you are going. In this way, you may go the wrong way, but you will not lose your way..."

Zhang Jingxiu had several brothers, the oldest of whom was only sixteen years old. In addition, Zhang Juzheng was too strict in disciplining his sons on a daily basis, and as the saying goes, everything will turn into the opposite when it reaches its extreme.

How could the young men bear Zhao Hao's nonsense? They were so excited that they wanted to tear up the sage books, break off relations with their fathers, and then follow their master to roam the world and pursue the truth of the world.

Zhang Xiaojing's eyes sparkled with excitement, and she felt that Brother Zhao's words were like opening a skylight in her heart. It made her feel clearer than ever before, and she felt that she had never seen herself so clearly before and what kind of life path she wanted to take.

Teacher Zhao was very sensitive to the classroom atmosphere. Seeing that the Zhang brothers and sisters were all immersed in this bowl of rich chicken soup called science, he thought it was better not to overdo it.

If the young master and his aunt go against Mr. Zhang every day and run away from home, this crime will be held against me.

So Mr. Zhao immediately said, "But independent thinking is not a matter of argument. Science requires rigorous falsification, not unreasonable sophistry. How can we avoid becoming an argumentative person? At this time, the role of science is reflected. It can help us draw a boundary for current knowledge, let us know which things can be believed and which views should be questioned..."

Oh, it turns out that one has to learn science to a certain degree before being able to tear up the book and sever the father-son relationship...

The monks had no choice but to suppress their restless hearts.

'Play a thousand songs before you understand their sounds; look at a thousand swords before you recognize their weapons...' Zhang Xiaojing repeated to herself.

She stared at Zhao Hao without blinking, wondering why there was such fascinating... knowledge in this world?

It was the first time that Xiao Zhuzi was distracted in class.
