The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain

Waited for Zhu Bai to leave for a while.

Bai Gui took another look at the living room. The furnishings were almost the same as before, and there were no changes. They were still as simple as before, except that there were a few more books on the altar table sandwiched between the two straight-backed chairs against the wall.

The book is not the Four Books and Five Classics.

He looked closer and saw several new books.

"Introduction to Education", "Educational Psychology", "Revised Chinese Textbooks for Middle Schools" and other newly published books.

In 1868, Ushensky, an educator from Rakshasa country, published "Man is the Object of Education". In 1877, Kapterev published the first "Educational Psychology" of the Rakshasa Kingdom. In 1903, the Kenyan psychologist Thorndike published "Educational Psychology".

In normal colleges in the early Republic of China, "Educational Psychology" was one of the standing textbooks.

"It should have been specially bought by Mr. Zhu after he became the principal of Zishui County Normal University."

Bai Gui thought.

He flipped through the books and found that these books contained annotations written by Mr. Zhu in small regular script. From time to time, he could see yellowed pages with dog-eared corners, which showed that he was reading carefully.

It just so happens that I have some free time at this time.

He simply sat on the chair and read slowly.

Lean less.

Mr. Zhu walked in and when he saw this, he was surprised and said: "Meihe, I didn't expect you to be interested in this."

"The vocabulary mentioned here is really weird. I am too old to learn these things. For example, what is educational psychology and Pavlov's dog? It went around and around. It took me a long time to figure it out. …”

He smiled freely.

"I have been exposed to these in the normal school, and also learned about them in the medical department of the Oriental School."

"I can tell you sir later."

When Bai Gui heard Mr. Zhu's words, he quickly stood up and bowed respectfully, and then replied seriously.

Confucius said: "When three people are walking together, there must be my teacher."

Therefore, the disciple does not have to be inferior to the teacher, and the teacher does not have to be better than the disciple. There is a certain order of learning, and there is a specialization in the arts, that's all.

He did not think that helping Mr. Zhu learn this knowledge would be humiliating to Mr. Zhu.

Likewise, Mr. Zhu is an open-minded teacher, so I will not offend him for this.

In addition, the professional knowledge of educational psychology is obscure, and it also involves some medical knowledge. For old-style literati like Mr. Zhu, it is indeed difficult to understand. Even if they know these principles, they know the reason but do not know the reason, and have only a half-understanding.

For example, Pavlov's dog, this experiment is about classical conditioning.

Meaning: Initially, the dog will salivate when seeing food, and then add a neutral stimulus, such as the ringing of a bell. After a period of time, as long as the bell rings, the dog will salivate without touching the food.

"No!"

Mr. Zhu shook his head and said, "I'm going to resign recently. I'm going to resign from the position of principal of the normal school... If I don't do it, I won't learn these things."

"Yes, sir."

Bai Gui nodded after hearing this.

He didn't think it was because Mr. Zhu didn't want him to teach. But if Mr. Zhu really wants to resign as the principal of the normal school, he doesn't need to know so much about educational psychology.

Besides, Mr. Zhu is old, so it is normal for him to be unable to learn these things.

It's not good to force it.

Both of them knew that the other was a gentleman.

The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water.

I don’t think this kind of answer without much explanation will make the other party feel dissatisfied.

"I heard from Mr. Xu that he has been organizing people recently to compile county chronicles. It happens that the student is still at home and knows a little bit about compiling history books, so he plans to come and recommend himself. I wonder if he will agree?"

Bai Gui closed the book, placed it on the tribute table, and asked softly.

"Oh, Meihe, you plan to compile the county annals. This... is a bit too humiliating."

Mr. Zhu hesitated.

He knew Bai Gui's talent, and being able to write two masterpieces, The Qin Empire and Guns and Guns, undoubtedly proved his ability to write history books. Moreover, Bai Gui was well-read in poetry and books, so it was not difficult for him to be absorbed in ancient scrolls.

But...he can do this because he is old. But Bai Gui can't do it, because Bai Gui is still young and has more things worthy of him to do.

Leave the time to young people...,

And they, the old masters, went to compile history books and free up space.

This was the reason why he resigned and chose to compile the county annals!

It's not just that the government has not paid the wages owed to the teaching staff of the normal school. Money is a trivial matter. According to his reputation, he can't go without a bite to eat.

"It's not that I'm showing off my talent, but I'm planning a wedding recently and I can't leave..."

"Staying at home and not having much to do."

Bai Gui silently complained that his father Bai Youde and Aunt Wang were fighting all day long and had no leisure time, and their ears were about to become calloused.

I just happened to run to White Deer Academy and steal half of the rest of my life.

Anyway, if you ride a horse from Bailu Academy... it's not that far from Bailu Village.

"Then...that's fine."

Seeing that there was no reason to refuse, Mr. Zhu nodded and agreed.

He didn't agree because he was afraid that it would delay Bai Gui's affairs, and that compiling history would easily weaken the young man's character and ambition. Everyone who has compiled history in the past has either been tired of government affairs and retired to seclusion, or he has been working as a sinecure in the Hanlin Academy to compile history...

For example, Sima Guang had political disagreements with Wang Anshi during the Shenzong Dynasty, and was demoted and relegated to Luoyi for fifteen years, during which he devoted himself to compiling history.

I have never seen an energetic young man come here to write history.

Writing historical novels and editing history are two different things.

The two then talked about other things, mostly about Bai Gui's experiences in Japan.

"It's a good thing if you plan to further your studies and study abroad."

"Although I haven't been out of Qin Province for a long time, the current situation has changed too much. It's not a peaceful and prosperous age. You can exert much more power in writing books than in your official duties..."

Mr. Zhu said.

Bai Gui's reluctance to serve as an official coincided with his behavior in the past. Otherwise, it would not be difficult for him to find an official position. However, he knew the world well and knew that being an official was of no use, so he chose to educate the countryside instead. , to be a college teacher...

If you can't be a teacher in the academy, then you can't be a teacher in a normal school, so you can compile the county annals!

From time to time, the master's wife Zhu Bai prepared the meal.

The food was not rich, just a few steamed buns, some pickles, and white porridge.

However, Zhu Bai's craftsmanship is very good. Even though the food is simple, it tastes extremely delicious.

The most important thing is that this is the taste that Bai Gui is used to eating at Bailu Academy.

"It's late today, so you can stay in the academy for the night."

"You can go back tomorrow."

"I've made your bed."

Zhubai said.

"Thank you, Master."

There is nothing wrong with Bai Gui.

Nights in Bailuyuan, especially winter nights, are a bit dangerous. Not only are there snow and ice on the road, but there are also wild beasts running down from the mountains looking for food.

Walked out of the living room and arrived at the wing.

Quietly.

Only Mr. Zhu and Mr. Zhu Bai were left in Bailu Academy of Nuo University, which looked lonely. Mr. Zhu and Mrs. Zhu Bai have two children, one is Huairen and the other is Huaiyi. Both children are in their hometown and not in the academy.

The county-level normal school is not located in Bailu Academy.

"The academy doesn't even have any doors..."

Bai Gui put on his clothes and got on the kang, sighing.

Emotionally, he doesn't want White Deer Academy to be lonely, but this is the general trend, and the old school will definitely decline. For the country, the current new learning is better and can save the world.

Confucianism is no longer suitable.

At least it's not appropriate now.

Fortunately, Mr. Zhu is an open-minded person and does not hold back.
