Chapter 118: The foundation of the supervisor of li, the source of the dispute
Zhang Shou, who was proficient in the art of borrowing, was very confident that even if Lu Wan turned around, his seemingly wiping Zhu Ying's tears would not reveal any flaws. He didn't put down his hand until she completely disappeared outside the door, and then apologized.
He smiled at Zhu Ying who was standing there blankly and said, "No one can tell how much of Lu Shangshu's words are true and how false. I think it would be better to bluff him."
Zhu Ying was so embarrassed and angry, especially when she saw Ge Yong, Chu Ying and Qi Jingshan all smiling, she became even more angry: "Ah Shou! Why do you have to say that I'm crying if you want to bluff me!"
"It's just because you are not the kind of person who can cry in anger in his impression. He will be shocked if you cry, right? If you scare him, he won't be able to sleep well for several days if you scare him.
I feel like I can’t eat well. After all, we can’t do anything to him now.”
Zhang Shou laughed like he was teasing a child, and then said very innocently, "Who wants you to not believe me and suddenly rush out to question him? Don't scare him, what if he goes back to ruin everything and unite with those who have a grudge against your father?
What should we do if our people launch a general attack?”
"I..." Zhu Ying suddenly became speechless. After a while, she had to lower her head and said, "I didn't know that you met him yesterday and asked about him. Can't I apologize to you..."
"Of course not! You were so majestic and arrogant when you just launched an army to accuse me. Even Lu Wan, the Minister of War, was shocked by you, let alone me. If you are wrong, it's because I didn't explain it clearly to you first. Blame me, why?
Can you make an apology to me?"
"I..." Zhu Ying choked on the four words Zhang Shouxian and turned pale. When she heard the last word, even though she was as generous as she was, she couldn't help but blush and had to shout: "You are teasing me again!"
Seeing that Zhu Ying showed a clear childish attitude, Ge Yong couldn't help but clicked his tongue, and then said to the two people on the left and right: "Look, such a cunning girl like Yingying has surrendered to Zhang Shou!"
Chu Ying and Qi Jingshan exchanged glances.
Today, Zhang Huaili and Lu Wan, one was directly defeated by Zhang Shou, and the other was indirectly defeated by Zhang Shou. Moreover, Zhang Shou also received the support of both Wang Jie and Zhou Xun, and obtained a doctor of Guozi who was originally unavailable.
It is possible that he may have great authority. Speaking of which, Ge Yong, a closed disciple with a good talent in arithmetic, has good luck in career and career. In fact, his luck in officialdom is also quite strong.
But at this moment, Zhang Shou had finished teasing Zhu Ying and came to them with a smile.
"Teacher, Mr. Chu, Mr. Qi, the emperor suddenly brought so many people here today. Why didn't you see Bingbi Chukuan, the eunuch who went to the Imperial College that day?"
As soon as these words came out, Ge Yong's face suddenly darkened. He took an annoyed step forward and suddenly poked Zhang Shou's forehead with his parallel fingers. Zhang Shou, who had already received the teacher's powerful move, subconsciously slipped away, and Ge Yong made this move.
The move suddenly came to nothing.
"You still dare to hide? You still have the nerve to ask Chu Kuan! Yesterday, you went to the Li Jianwai Yamen. A bunch of idiots thought you were the second prince. You are causing trouble for no reason!"
"Do you know where the Si Li Jian Wai Ya is? That's where Taizu once eunuched! The first batch of eunuchs in the Si Li Jian were all selected orphans from the Northern and Southern Barbarians. They started brainwashing and education at the age of three or four.
The terms castration and brainwashing were also invented by Emperor Taizu... Anyway, from generation to generation, all of them have been raised to be loyal and loyal, even if their ancestors and parents stand in front of them, they will do it without fail!"
Zhang Shou suddenly took a breath of cold air. At that moment, he thought of the Demishem system of the Ottoman Empire. The Sultan sent people to the conquered Christian villages to recruit slaves, and then they were recruited into the Guards and trained, completely isolated from their relatives. These things
After a long period of brainwashing and military training, the people remained single throughout their lives, never married or had children, and became the most powerful army around the Sultan.
Later, the celibacy system was abolished in the Guards, and the Demishem system was gradually abolished. At that time, the Ottoman Empire's Guards were a mixed bag with no one at all, and a once-famous army had almost collapsed.
Although there are differences between celibacy and eunuchs, it must be said that the sentiments are different but the principles are the same.
Just because of this distraction, Zhang Shou was stabbed in the head by Ge Yong. He stood up straight, did not dodge anymore, and said sarcastically: "That day at Yuehua Tower, Chu Kuan mentioned that the emperor asked me to serve as the emperor.
When I was a doctor, didn't I put forward a condition and ask him to find those people who had come here to cause trouble to be my students? I just asked him to get students."
"Oh?" Ge Yong then retracted his hand and frowned, as if he was a little confused. Qi Jingshan, who was on the side, was also the one who personally experienced the incident of blocking the door of Ge Mansion. He knew that Zhang Shou had judged that these people were at least proficient in arithmetic.
At that moment, he asked with great interest: "What did Chu Kuan say?"
Zhang Shou thought for a while and simply told the truth what Chu Kuan said to him that day. When he said that most of the remaining arithmetic supervisors in the Imperial College had a difficult career, many of them were dismissed by high-ranking officials.
When he summoned the professor's servants, all he saw was that the third senior math teacher in front of him looked very bad. It wasn't until he said what he said in reply to Chu Kuan that Ge Yong's stiff face softened a little.
"Servants of rich families are arrogant and bully their superiors. Even if they have learned a little bit about arithmetic, most of them have evil intentions. Let alone the quiet place of the Imperial College, it is absolutely intolerable for others to be in the same category as the servants. If you really recruit them, you will not be able to tolerate them."
It’s easy to spoil the atmosphere! You’re doing the right thing, first see how those people with clean financial status are doing, and if they are not enough, then you can formulate a test to recruit students. Lao Qi and Lao Chu can support you in this matter."
Zhang Shou saw Qi Jingshan nod slightly, and Chu Ying nodded repeatedly. He couldn't help but ask the question he wanted to ask the most in recent days: "Teacher, Mr. Qi, Mr. Chu, I don't understand. You are also masters of arithmetic.
If you insist, and the Emperor insists, the Imperial Academy Jiuzhangtang will not collapse into that state... Why me?"
Zhu Ying was finally freed from the complicated emotions just now. When she heard Zhang Shou's last words, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. When she saw that Ge Yong and Qi Jingshan and Chu Ying were both silent, she couldn't help but say: "
That’s of course because you teach well, Ah Shou!”
Ge Yong suddenly laughed: "Xiao Yingying, what you said is half right. Zhang Shou, you brought out two good students in Rongshui Village. Later, after Zhang Chen and Lu Sanlang came over like a swarm, you
I have discovered Lu Sanlang. From this point of view, your student luck is very strong. The most important thing is that you students are all young men in their prime."
Chu Ying didn't intend to speak at first, but now she couldn't help but said: "That's right, in the past, even those students who had some talents in mathematics and mathematics were all aiming to become officials, ranging from more than 20 to more than 30 years old.
At forty, I can’t afford to wait. Once the career path is wasted, who will stick to what they have learned?”
Qi Jingshan also smiled and said: "There are three of us. Lao Ge is from a famous family praised by Emperor Taizu. Lao Chu comes from a well-off family. After passing the Jinshi examination as a stepping stone, he was too lazy to become an official. I was also a second-class Jinshi at that time and managed Qintian.
From prison to prison, he worked as an official all the way to Taichang Temple Qing. Wang Datou was discovered by Lao Ge because of his talent, so he dragged him onto the pirate ship. In addition, Lao Ge's disciple who was the transfer minister..."
He paused and said meaningfully: "If you count, there are only a few high-ranking officials in the court who are proficient in arithmetic, but there are almost no young successors... Even Lao Ge's children and grandchildren are almost ignorant of it.
, Lao Chu and I are the same. The students back then are now in their forties or fifties. The ten books of arithmetic...are too difficult, and few young people can make the effort to learn them."
Well, the nine chapters on arithmetic are simple at first, but the Shang Gong chapter can make people go crazy, let alone other books... Ancient Chinese arithmetic, from terminology to words to questions, are all too unfriendly for beginners to learn it.
Almost all of them are geniuses!
Zhang Shou finally understood the intention of appointing him as Doctor of the Imperial Academy, but at this time, Ge Yong made a decisive move.
"Emperor Taizu did leave behind some extremely basic arithmetic books, but because they were too basic, they were only used by civil and military officials to teach their newly enlightened children. Later, Emperor Taizu abdicated, and his fleet capsized due to a storm when it went to sea.
…”
The Taizu who abdicated died in a boat capsizing? Zhang Shoudeng took a breath of cold air. He saw Ge Yong paused for a moment, as if hesitating whether he should continue talking, but in the end, his teacher still said
came out.
"The imperial court kept a secret about that shipwreck and only told the outside world that the Emperor Taizu died of illness. This also changed many things that followed. There was a lot of bloodshed. Although Emperor Taizu's achievements were still admired by many people, those superficial enlightenment books were gradually lost.
It was no longer systematic. Only then did everyone realize that those things seemed simple at the time, but if one or two volumes were missing, it would be equally difficult to understand."
"And the big ships sailed all over the world. Wherever they went, the Nanyi and Xiyi they saw. In the eyes of people in my court, there was no prosperity at all, let alone a prosperous age. Especially Emperor Taizu kept saying that we should be vigilant.
Over in Xiyi, everyone only sees a lot of small countries, but our country dares to claim the title of king even in its own territory, and silk tea leaves are treated as treasures, which really makes people more and more disappointed."
"Our dynasty has been developing various artillery since the early years of Taizu. With two blasts from a large ship, no matter which country it is, it will immediately become honest. The land in the land of Western Yi is not as rich and solid as our dynasty, which makes people feel that this
There is no point in growing a small country even if it is occupied."
"As for those Western Yi writings and pictures, some were ghostly drawings and some were immoral. When they were brought back, they were denounced as deviant. Many things were translated incorrectly."
"In short, many things have been fought over for many years."
The phrase "many things" has actually been debated for many years, and Zhang Shou vaguely understood the complexity.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the world's population was not large. At that time, even the land of one's own could not be cultivated. Even if the senior mentioned colonization, it would attract countless objections. But when the exploration results turned out to be small countries outside,
If everyone is inferior to himself, there will definitely be officials who will feel that there is no point in showing off one's power in such a place.
What about America? It is an extremely rich place in the world, and it can even be said that there is no other place. Because there is only America, there is no desert, there is no such thing as the Gobi, there are only endless jungles. Why are there no sea ships going to America to enclose land?
Perhaps, the fleet organized by Taizu after his abdication capsized on the way to America? Now converted to the Gregorian calendar, it seems that it is not yet the age when Columbus discovered America, right?
Several battles for power in the country seemed to involve not only bloodshed in the palace, but also civil war. This naturally made some people in the center of the Celestial Dynasty feel that it was completely unnecessary to expend external efforts, and it was better to concentrate on running their own great Celestial Kingdom first.
.
"Now the two parties in the imperial court are fighting, firstly, not allowing foreign letters to enter the country, and secondly, not allowing Western Yi people to live permanently in our country. As for sea ships, both Nanyang and Western Yi admire our silk and porcelain, and the imperial court still attaches great importance to Nanyang.
Yes, the kings and nobles over there are very easy to deal with. As long as a large number of luxury goods are shipped there, countless spices, gems and mahogany will be shipped. Mahogany has always been Taizu's favorite!"
However, Ge Yong instinctively concealed one thing and did not say it.
Thirdly, the imperial court was worried that Taizu was not dead, but he never returned to the country, and his descendants were scattered abroad, and he founded the country and became king, so it has been searching quietly! Otherwise, the merchant ships would not be able to stop it, but the imperial official ship would spend a lot of money every time it goes to sea, so how could it be possible?
Kung Fu is always sent out?
Why are the Ming Dynasty artillery so powerful? Isn’t it because Taizu rewarded skilled craftsmen and even gave personal guidance to create those incredible weapons weighing more than a thousand kilograms? It’s a pity that the descendants of the descendants are unworthy, and some descendants of skilled craftsmen have lived in the north. Otherwise, the northern captives would
Even if he colludes with Donghu, how can he be the opponent of Ming Dynasty?
