Chapter 109 107. "Huang Chu": Chu wants to include this arithmetic as a required course in ethnic studies (please subscribe for a monthly ticket)

When Huang Yueying and Gan Ning visited Wang Can, what she said at Song Zhong's house in the afternoon also spread.

In this era, literati had a circle.

Coincidentally, Song Zhong's disciples included both those from aristocratic families and those from poor families.

In addition, "Huang Chu" had previously said that there must be a dispute in the north, but now that the two sides are at odds with each other and are confronting Li Yang, Mr. Xiao's name has become even more resounding.

Now the news that Sun Ce captured Wancheng and that his brother Sun Quan was defeated by Chen Deng also happened to reach Xiangyang. Compared with Sun Ce, Sun Quan was really weak.

In addition, the news that Sun Ce wanted to marry Chu Anjun for Sun Quan also spread, so the scholars who originally had a good impression of Soochow instantly switched sides.

"Soochow plotted against me, Jingzhou Chuzhi, and almost abducted Chu Anjun. Even though he apologized, he was clearly still coveting me. If not, why would he want to marry Chu Anjun for his brother?"

"Oh, it's obvious that he is evil-minded."

"Exactly! The tens of thousands of dollars in compensation are not as good as the price of Chu paper! Do you really think Mr. Chu An is so far behind?"

"I originally thought that since the little overlord Sun Bofu bravely defeated the three armies, he must also be a hero, but now... he has used tricks behind the scenes."

"You are too naive. Without these means, how could he have built such a big foundation?"

"So, I think the young gentleman is right. If a person like this is killed like that in Jiangdong, it is impossible to say that he will die at the hands of a common man in the future!"

"Then Jiangdong will be in chaos again...hey..."

"After all, it's hard for the people."

In just one night, many people knew about this.

…

At Wang Can's house.

Wang Can saw the two people who had arrived at meal time and asked with a smile, "Isn't Achu just here to enjoy the meal?"

"Really?" Huang Yueying thought for a moment, then nodded.

This appearance made Wang Can laugh again, and the latter had no choice but to shake his head.

"Mr. Zhongxuan, Achu is not here for a meal..." Gan Ning explained, "Actually, we also brought some books with us."

As he said that, he took out a wooden box and handed it over.

Wang Can took it and opened it, with surprise in his eyes as he looked at the neatly bound books, "What kind of book is this?"

"Nine." Huang Yueying replied, "I have visited major aristocratic families before, and some of the contents of "Nine" were included. Together with the books kept by my mentor Cheng Yangong, and the part about the flower gardener teaching my sister, it not only completed the "Nine"

", and also made some additions."

Wang Can was surprised, "Seriously?"

"Naturally." Huang Yueying smiled.

"Nine", also known as "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" in later generations, is one of the ten great arithmetic classics in ancient China, and is also the most well-known to later generations. It is a combination of several previous arithmetic classics.

"Book of the Later Han Dynasty" records that his great-nephew Ma Xu "was well-read and good at "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic". However, there is no mention of "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" in Ban Gu's "Book of Han", so it is speculated that this book

The book was written around the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty. The great scholar Zheng Xuan once entered Taixue to study "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic".

Just because it has been written does not mean it has been widely circulated, and Taixue... is not accessible to everyone.

In addition, wars are everywhere nowadays, and it is too common for classics to be damaged.

Wang Can's collection of books contains part of "Nine Chapters on Arithmetic", but not all of it, so he is surprised.

So, without caring about anything else, he went directly into the main hall, sat down casually, and started reading a book.

After browsing it for about once, you can know the contents of this volume. Until you browse the last few volumes, your brows gradually wrinkle. Obviously, this is the part added by the layman.

Huang Yueying is not in a hurry. It will take some time for the added content to be recognized by people of this era.

Part of the content she added was related to arithmetic and partly to physics, including some preliminary discussions on speed, density, distance and even parabolas.

Because, these can all be used in this era.

After half an hour, Wang Can put down the book, exhaled a long breath, and sighed, "I haven't read such arithmetic content for a long time. Achu brought it over...why?"

"I want to ask my brother for help."

"oh?"

"Chu wants to include this arithmetic as a required course in the clan school." Huang Yueying paused, "But... among my clan's students, most of them are ignorant children, so I would like to ask my brother to slightly modify this arithmetic.

, making it easier for children to learn and understand.”

Wang Can hissed, "Meng Tong should first learn the Seven Classics and Eight Meanings. Even a mature scholar may not be able to understand these Nine Chapters clearly!"

For people in this era, classics and meaning are their main learning direction.

Most of the content such as arithmetic only needs to be understood briefly. Only people in some special positions need to learn it completely.

Huang Yueying shook her head.

"Actually, that's not the case. There are very few people today who treat "Nine". Is it because "Nine" is not practical enough? No!"

"It is true that books are hard to come by these days and the road to education is difficult. Most people can only come into contact with one of these disciplines when they are older."

"There is Chu paper in Jingzhou, which costs five cents for medium-grade paper and ten cents for fine paper. Outside Jingzhou, my brother should know the price of Chu paper."

Wang Can nodded. He had just been to Soochow, so of course he knew about it, so he asked, "Why is the Chu paper in Jingzhou only worth five cents?"

"I just want everyone to be able to use it." Huang Yueying sighed, "I decided this together with my sister to make it easier for scholars to study."

Wang Can smiled bitterly, "I see, Jingzhou scholars, you are really lucky."

"It's luck." Huang Yueying smiled, because next year, she will throw out a batch of books and cause chaos again. "Nowadays, Chu paper is not hard to find. In this case, why not let children be exposed to one more from an early age? Wait.

When they grow up, they will be able to have some abilities and gain a foothold."

Wang Can sighed, "In that case, I will agree to A Chu's request."

"Thank you for your hard work, brother." Huang Yueying nodded, "By then, this book will be widely known in the world. Of course, Chu Yi will not let brother's hard work go in vain."

"Oh?" Wang Can smiled.

"Chu Yi has 100,000 yuan to offer." Huang Yueying smiled.

Wang Can laughed, "Could it be..."

"Exactly." Huang Yueying nodded, "Today, Zhou Mu sent someone to deliver it to the mansion. Originally, my sister didn't care about the money. It would be troublesome to transport it back to Chu'an."

Wang Can nodded helplessly, "In that case, I would be disrespectful to you as a brother. It will take a long time to complete this book..."

"Nothing, I just wanted to add this subject to the clansmen in the coming year."

Wang Can then agreed. In this way, there was indeed no need to rush.

And Huang Yueying finally felt relieved. She originally wanted to do it herself, but she really didn't have so much time. If she didn't do some hard work, she would be really sorry for herself.

Then, I asked Wang Can.

Anyway, Wang Can's job with Liu Biao was basically writing a letter... There was no diplomatic work like this in history.

Therefore, Huang Yueying is very at ease. For talents, the most uncomfortable thing is that their talents cannot be used.
