Facing the doubtful looks of these two people, Fang Xuanling also sat down and spoke seriously.
"You two must also know about Cheng Taichang, right?"
Zu Guang nodded and smiled.
"Cheng Taichang's name is almost unknown to everyone in Chang'an City, and we are not immune to it."
"I wonder how you two feel about Cheng Taichang? It doesn't matter, just speak frankly.
We are just chatting privately, and it will definitely not be spread out."
Fang Xuanling's behavior made these two people more and more confused, but they also knew the personality of Fang Xuanling.
Now that it was about this matter, both of them stood on a more fair standpoint and praised the extraordinary talent Cheng Taichang.
"The "Chang'an Xunbao" refuses to be dismissed every time, especially the encouraging couplet in the "Chang'an Xunbao" that was published not long ago, which really expresses the aspirations of our generation of scholars.
"
"Moreover, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms serialized in Chang'an Xun Bao is so wonderful that I can't put it down."
"Every time the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is serialized in the "Chang'an Xunbao", the official will copy it down for future study and appreciation."
"It's a pity that Luo Guanzhong, the author of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", is not well-known, otherwise Zu would have to visit him personally to make friends.
Someone who can write such wonderful articles is really an extraordinary person."
After seeing the statements of these two men, Fang Xuanling secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At least they didn't feel disgusted or disgusted with Cheng Sanlang.
In this way, she would be more confident in persuading these two people. Fang Xuanling couldn't help but think of the news that His Majesty had deliberately leaked.
"Speaking of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", I know some little secrets... about this author."
Hearing these words, Zu Guang and Assistant Teacher Hu both brightened up and looked at Fang Xuanling.
"He is the third young master of Duke Lu's mansion and the young minister of Taichang Temple."
#####
"It's actually him..." Zuguang's eyes widened, and after a long time, he patted his thigh with a look of surprise.
"So it turns out that with Cheng Taichang's talent, he was able to write the "Three Character Classic" and also make such good couplets to encourage learning.
It’s not surprising that he wrote such a magnificent "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"."
Assistant Professor Hu also nodded in agreement, but he had more doubts in his heart. The two of them were called here by the Prime Minister.
What do you mean by not talking about business and only talking about Cheng Taichang? Could it be that the business we are going to talk about next has something to do with Cheng Taichang?
At this time, I heard Fang Xuanling speak slowly.
"Have you two heard about the Cheng University that Cheng Sanlang wants to establish?"
Seeing the two men continuing to nod, Fang Xuanling smacked her lips before getting to the point.
"The Cheng University founded by Cheng Sanlang is not well received by some people, so it has been unable to find enough teachers as the semester is approaching."
Fang Xuanling paused, grinding his teeth secretly before speaking.
"Your Majesty is interested in helping us, so I will invite you two to come over for discussion."
Zu Guang and Assistant Teacher Hu's eyes widened in an exaggerated way. What do you mean by this? Your Majesty wants to help Cheng Taichang and help him find a teacher.
That means that the two of us will be kicked out of the official class and work for Cheng Sanlang, right?
Seeing the dark lines on the faces of these two people and their hesitant expressions, Fang Xuanling opened her mouth to comfort them.
"Don't get me wrong. What I mean is that your official rank will remain unchanged. You only need to teach students at Cheng University for three years."
"Of course, within the next three years, your salary at Cheng University will be three times your current salary."
"After three years, I will naturally be reinstated and return to arithmetic. If I do it well, Your Majesty will not be stingy..."
"As for the study of arithmetic, I will leave it to the other two academic officers. Fortunately, there are not many students in arithmetic, so they can handle it."
Seeing Fang Xuanling chatting in front of him, Zuguang couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.
So what do you and Assistant Hu do? Suspend your salary and keep your job, and then go to help His Majesty with private work?
Does this count as His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty poaching himself?
"In addition, there is one more thing. I know that, Dr. Zu, you have inherited your studies from your father. You have a long family history. I don’t know how many people in the world want to become Dr. Zu’s disciple."
"However, because of the system of the School of Mathematics, many talents have been blocked, which is really disappointing."
"If you teach arithmetic at Cheng's University, those talented people who would otherwise have no way to study will be able to get what they want."
Hearing Fang Xuanling's words, Zu Guang couldn't help but feel a little excited. Yes, their ancestor's family was a family of mathematics, and Zu Chongzhi was the most famous among his direct ancestors.
Zu Xun, the son of the ancestor Zu Chongzhi, was also an astronomer and mathematician who left a mark in the history of mathematics. He proposed the "Zu Xun principle" on the calculation method of the volume of a sphere.
His grandfather Zu Zongru did not make much achievements in mathematics, but his father Zu Xiaosun relied on his talent in mathematics and music.
He solved the problems of tuning and the twelve-melody palace, and in his own generation, he also learned from his father in terms of arithmetic and temperament.
However, I preferred arithmetic, so I took root in the Imperial College of Computer Science and stayed there for more than ten years.
And the prestige of their ancestral family in the world of mathematics is definitely the leader. Countless mathematical talents want to worship the door wall.
However, since his ancestor Guang was a court official, he naturally did not have much time to recruit disciples. However, the number of talented people who could enter arithmetic and learn arithmetic was really pitiful.
His ancestral position was low and he had no way to change it. The most he could do was give some advice to some young people who came to study in his spare time.
This made Zu Guang, who was very happy to preach and teach, quite regretful, but he had no choice but to do it. After all, whether the court paid attention to arithmetic or not was not a matter for a scientific and technical talent like him to decide.
Thinking of this, Zu Guang, who was already a little moved, couldn't help but glance at Assistant Hu next to him subconsciously.
Assistant Professor Hu saw Zu Guang's gaze and realized that this familiar colleague was already moved. He nodded gently and expressed his opinion.
Zuguang nodded and saluted Fang Xuanling sternly.
"If Cheng Taichang is really willing to promise Xiaguan to teach arithmetic in the university.
Even if the salary is small, I am still willing to go, I just hope that he can allow me to recruit more arithmetic talents."
Hearing these words, I looked at this great mathematician who was committed to his studies, who focused on theory and knowledge, and who was not disturbed by external things.
Fang Xuanling stood up and bowed respectfully to the two of them with a solemn expression.
"Thank you both for being so understanding and nurturing talents for the country."
"I don't think Fang Xiang is like this. I just hope that learning arithmetic can make more people understand its truth and find out its truth."
