I'm really not doing business

Chapter 210 Zhu Yijun's small arithmetic class has started
"There are indeed many things that are feasible or not, but for some people, it is absolutely impossible; but for some people, it is not impossible." Zhang Siwen said a word to Jiaohong, which is not so easy to understand, but it is meaningful .

The purpose of setting up some regulations is to set a threshold, and then use reasonable means to use the power in your hands to seek personal gain. This fact is too common, even the relatively fair imperial examinations are included.

Threshold Threshold, if you pass it is the door, if you cannot pass it, it is the threshold.

Jiao Hong was silent for a moment before opening his mouth and said: "From the year of Hongwu to the period of Xuande, the officials of the Ming Dynasty were inspected and promoted. After three examinations and nine years, they were able to become officials. However, in the seventh year of Xuande, the examination of literary meaning, movement, and writing began, which basically cut off the chance of officials to be promoted to obtain official status."

"If all three are useless, let's do it for the people."

This was a decree issued in the seventh year of Xuande, and after that, the door to being promoted from an official to an official position was completely closed.

There is a general ceiling in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty. Non-jinshi are not allowed to enter the Imperial Academy, and non-Hanlin are not allowed to enter the cabinet. In the Wanli period, only those who became Shujishi were eligible to join the cabinet; Jinshi is also divided into three classes, and the top three enter the Imperial Academy. , the second class can take the Imperial Academy exam, and if they fail the exam, they can also seek a job in the capital, while the third class can only be sent out to be an official.

As for juren, at the time of the development, there were still senior officials. In the Wanli period, the upper limit of juren was the sixth rank.

This will try, that is, the carp leaps over the dragon's gate.

That's why Jiao Hong really had no ambition for an official career, that's why he confronted Sun Jigao face to face and scolded the Confucians angrily. He knew that a person like him would not be able to settle down well in the officialdom.

Everyone is greedy, are you greedy?Everyone appeases, do you appease?Everyone is blind to a certain thing, can you turn a blind eye to it?Jiao Hong is very confident in his knowledge, but he has no confidence in being an official.

If Topi hadn't been in the Quanchu Guild Hall this time, he wouldn't even be able to refer to it.

"Because of my father, I don't plan to be an official." Zhang Siwen spoke surprisingly, and directly brought up an explosive topic, which made Jiao Hong dumbfounded and dumbfounded.

As the eldest son of Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Siwen entered the officialdom and became an official. Isn't that a matter of course, and it has skyrocketed ninety thousand miles?

Seeing Jiao Hong's stunned look, Zhang Siwen said with a smile, "Although my father has never said this, if it is Chinese style this year, some people will say that my father will become a minister of power, Yan Song and Xu Jie. Don't make trouble for father, he has enough trouble."

"If I don't become an official, I will have a place to go. I plan to learn arithmetic well and then go to Gewuyuan."

"Gewuyuan?" Jiao Hong was full of doubts, what kind of government office is this?
Zhang Siwen began to explain the various aspects of the Royal Gewuyuan, which is still under construction.

Zhang Siwen yearns for the Gewuyuan. He is very good at arithmetic. With the help of all kinds of novelties in his father's Wenchang Pavilion, he can flexibly use the 81-level abacus, and he can measure the area of ​​​​irregular land between Between the two, I can use the sine table for triangulation mapping, and I also personally made a 10-point sine table.

At this time, he is fully qualified to enter Gewuyuan.

Zhang Siwen knew clearly that he had no future in politics. His father, Zhang Juzheng, did not intend to hand over the big business of the Zhang Party to Zhang Siwen, it was for His Majesty.

Zhang Siwen didn't think it was unfair, his father had talked about the theory of public and private, Zhang Dang was public, and Xiao family was private, if Zhang Juzheng wanted to leave these things to his son, there would be no Zhang Dang at all.

Zhang Siwen likes mathematics. In the past, he was a bit deviant and useless. Now Gewuyuan, which is built with arithmetic logic as the core, is the temple in his mind and the place he yearns for now.

Jiao Hong chatted with Zhang Siwen for a long time. Jiao Hong was very interested in Gewuyuan, but he had never studied arithmetic at all.

The next day, Jiao Hong entered the Guozijian and became a supervisor of the Guozijian, so there were not so many problems with reference.

Jiao Hong was born in Juren, so it was not difficult to enter the Imperial College.

Sun Jigao immediately didn't dare to continue making troubles, the reason was very simple, Jiao Hong was a member of the Quan Chu Guild Hall, if he continued to make things difficult, he just didn't want to give Yuan Fu face.

If you don't give Yuanfu face, you are courting death.

After Jiao Hong entered the Imperial College, he immediately regained his self-confidence. The poor students had a lot of stationery. These supervising students had good etiquette, but they were not very good in terms of learning.

When Jiao Hong entered the Imperial College, he came to learn arithmetic, and he was also somewhat interested in arithmetic.

But soon Jiao Hong realized the difficulty of arithmetic.

The mathematics of Guozijian is a separate points system.

Jiao Hong just entered the school, and he entered the degree hall. There are twelve exams a year, with a 0-point system. "Mathematics Treasure Book", "Algorithm System", "Taixi Algorithm".

After another year of exams, with a score of 90, you can enter Minglitang. Minglitang is the disciple of the eldest son Zhu Zaiyu, and is responsible for marking the papers of Dushutang and Bypassingtang.

There are six schools in Guozijian. The three schools of Zhengyi, Chongzhi, and Guangye have a one-and-a-half-year schooling system. In addition to the original grades, the arithmetic score must reach 60 points to be promoted to the second school of Taoism and Sincerity. The schooling system of these two schools is also one year. Half, the arithmetic score must reach 80 points or more, in order to be promoted to the rate hall, to obtain the qualification of a child student, and to start preparing for the township examination.

Mingli Hall and Zhixing Hall are the two "upper homes" in the Imperial College.

Cultivating the Tao, sincerity, and circumvention are the middle homes, while justice, dedication, broad career, and degree are the bottom homes.

Upper, middle and lower are three grades.

If the applicants are recruited, they will be transferred to the monastery hall. For the students of the Juren background, the Imperial College does not require classes or examinations, because most of the applicants enter the Imperial College to gain status, mainly for the examination.

When Jiao Hong started to study arithmetic, he didn't think there was anything scary at first, wasn't it just addition, subtraction, multiplication and division?Then as the topic gradually deepened, Jiao Hong began to feel numb, and then his scalp began to tingle.

He even wondered how he passed the Juren examination, whether his father used money to open the way for him when he didn't know.

The enlightenment of mathematics directly stunned him. Is it really learned by humans?
Xuezheng stood in front and said, "I have a jug of wine. I take it with me when I go out in the spring. When I meet a shop, I double it. When I meet a friend, I drink a bucket. The shop friends go around, and there is no wine in the lake. May I ask if there is any wine in this pot? How many buckets."

This test is both arithmetic and logic, and after repeated calculations, Jiao Hong finally got a result, but he made a mistake. After walking it again, it was right.

The answer is: 15/16 buckets.

Jiao Hong found a new pleasure.

On the third day of October, Zhu Yijun came to the Wenhua Palace as usual, held a grand court meeting, and started the monthly regular court.

After seeing the big gift, everyone looked at His Majesty the Emperor on the stage.

Feng Bao flicked his fly whisk and said loudly: "The envoy of Xuan Ryukyu Kingdom has an audience."

"My minister Zheng Xian, the minister of Ryukyu Zhengyi, and my minister Shi Zhengyou, the head of the palace of the King of Zhongshan, see your majesty, long live your majesty, long live, long live, long live." Two Ryukyu envoys entered the hall and saluted.

Zheng Xian and Zheng You bowed again, Zheng Xian bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, the late king has passed away, I beseech Your Majesty to confer your son Shang Yong as king."

The Ryukyu envoys entered the court this time to ask the emperor to confer Shangyong, the eldest son of the Ryukyu Kingdom, as the king of Zhongshan. The old king died and the new king was already in power, hoping to be canonized by the court.

"The Ministry of Rites has already heard about this matter. I don't understand. The son of the king is Shang Kang, why should he support Shang Yong as the king?" Zhu Yijun asked with a frown.

According to the records in "Fan Guoyi Notes", the heir apparent appointed by the old king was Shang Kang, and the heir son Shang Kang was still alive. As a result, the courtiers of Ryukyu surrounded Shang Yong as the king. This must be asked clearly.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Shang Kangbo is not from the concubine Zheng." Zheng Xian bowed again and replied very respectfully.

Ma Ziqiang, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, bowed his head to salute after leaving the class, turned to look at the Ryukyu envoys and said, "Is that true? But the Shang Yong you are surrounded by is not from the concubine."

In the sixth year of Longqing, the old king had already passed away. The reason why Ming Dynasty has been reluctant to confer the canonization must be due to the fierce struggle between the court and the court. They support another one, which is inconsistent with etiquette.

So until the fourth year of Wanli, there was no new king.

And recently, the coastal defense inspectors of Zhengjiupin are driving hydrofoil sailboats on the sea. It only takes one day from Songjiang Mansion to Ryukyu, and it only takes two days from Yuegang to Ryukyu. The speed of information transmission has been greatly improved. A big improvement. After a recent visit, I found that the Ryukyu problem is not just as simple as the non-concubine.

The mother of the new king surrounded by Ryukyu is a Japanese, and the mother of the prince Shangkang is a Ming.

Ma Ziqiang didn't make it clear, but he just gave the Ryukyu envoy a chance to make it clear directly that if he wanted to jump around here in Daming, he would have both ways, and he didn't even think about it.

Cold sweat immediately broke out on Zheng Xian's forehead, and the court already knew about it.

"Your Majesty, let me report in detail that it was not the Ryukyu soldiers and civilians who betrayed Ming Dynasty, but the Japanese Japanese pirates who caused endless harm to the Ryukyu Islands. I implore Your Majesty to send the Great Ming Army to help the Ryukyu fight against the Japanese." Zheng Xian didn't say anything. Too clear, but explain the reason clearly.

As a vassal state of Ming Dynasty, Ryukyu had to be canonized by the emperor, but the reality is that Ryukyu was repeatedly invaded by Japanese pirates. As the suzerain country, it was still unable to help eliminate Japanese pirates.

The Japanese were fierce, fighting everywhere, occupying the fertile land in the port, and the Ryukyu envoys entered the Ming Dynasty, and they complained every time, but the court could only say a few nice words.

Daming has the national conditions of Ming Dynasty, and Ryukyu also has the national conditions of Ryukyu. Ryukyu has been deeply infiltrated in all aspects. In fact, there is no way to do it. It can only play this kind of trick of sitting on the fence. Also seek Daming's canonization.

Zhu Yijun nodded and said, "Let's announce the decree."

Feng Bao stepped out, flicked his whisk, and said in a frustrating manner: "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict says:"

"I am bound by the destiny to rule the world. All political orders are announced, and only the constitution is followed. In the Ryukyu country, far away from the sea, the sound teaching is gradually being cultivated to serve the righteousness. It has been around for a long time. Therefore, the king Shangyuan, showing the lot Noble titles, those who are hereby passed away, and belong to the country, please give them titles, and still give them leather hats, crowns and clothes, etc., you should strictly observe etiquette, and benefit from loyalty and diligence."

"Chin this."

What’s interesting about this imperial decree is that even though he was given the Pibian and Crown Clothes, he still didn’t recognize Shang Yong as the king, but only let Shang Yong take charge of state affairs temporarily. There was no corresponding seal and ribbon, and no canonized officials were sent to Ryukyu. Host canonization.

Daming has not fully investigated the situation in Ryukyu. The speed of the Ming's navy is much lower than that of the Beijing camp. This is not because Yu Dayou is inferior to Qi Jiguang, but because the navy needs ships, and shipbuilding takes time. Gun, it is really difficult for the navy to go ashore to fight.

And Yu Dayou gave a clear time, that is, about seven years after Wanli, Daming's navy will have the ability to attack.

Therefore, Ryukyu still has to wait, and so does Daming.

"I would like to thank Your Majesty Long En." Zheng Xian sighed heavily, the result was not very good.

Zheng Xian was actually not reconciled, either the imperial court sent troops to pacify the Japanese, and the Ryukyu would be directly attached to it, hello, me, hello, everyone; He refused to send troops, and he refused to be canonized, which made Ryukyu feel uncomfortable.

No matter how unwilling Zheng Xian is, there is nothing Da Ming can do to give up his claim to Ryukyu. It was not possible in the past, and it is even more impossible now because of the opening of the sea. However, Daming’s navy has not recovered to the point of attacking, and it will take time. Accumulation, so it can only be so up and down.

It is difficult for the imperial court, and it is also difficult for Ryukyu, so they can only resign themselves to maintaining the situation.

After the envoy came down from the hall, Zhu Yijun touched the memorials. This stack of memorials was all from this month.

"Is Xu Guochong here to be reviewed by the Imperial Academy?" Zhu Yijun held the memorial in his hand and said playfully.

Xu Guochong was waiting outside the hall. When he heard the announcement, he hurried up to the hall, knelt on the ground, and said tremblingly: "See Your Majesty, Your Majesty's congratulations."

Zhu Yijun held the memorial book in his hand and said: "My superior said that this arithmetic is a magic trick. There is a reason for the number of false words, and it can know the coming and going. Governing the world is a waste of effort, and it is useless."

"I've rejected it for you, but you still have to go up and say, let me reduce the burden by one or two."

The first stumbling block in mathematics was exaggerated by Confucian scholars as a demonic technique.

For example, in the past, when Li Chunfeng was engaged in astronomy and calendar, when Wu Zetian ascended the throne, some people said that Li Chunfeng deduced that Wu Zetian was going to usurp the Li family as early as 40 years ago!

Li Chunfeng, an astronomer and mathematician, suddenly became a master of forecasting.

There is also a "Tui Bei Tu" written by Li Chunfeng himself, who processed the prophecies and rumors of the past dynasties, and finally became the top of the top stream in forecasting, but if there is something wrong, the Tui Bei Tu will be taken Come out and hype.

In fact, such things as push back pictures have very obvious traces of collective creation, and not only the horizontal creation by Li Chunfeng with many people, but also vertical ones. , and then create an illusion that it predicts very accurately.

This thing is deceptive. For example, an incident happened in August of the fourth year of Wanli. A Confucian student named Ma Dengru started to fiddle with ghosts and ghosts because he was not good at reading. The devil.

Shu Ao of Huai'an Mansion said in a memorial: Ma Deng Confucianism has no success in martial arts, so he will be a demon, and he created "Tui Bei Tu" and "Zhengfa Tu", which is proof to confuse the public.

According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, spreading rumors about the prophecy will be beheaded for public display, so he was directly escorted to the capital.

Making "Tui Bei Tu" was made by myself, and it is the only way to cheat.

Now, the point of reviewing Xu Guochong is that the advocacy of arithmetic in the Ming Dynasty was to encourage the arrogance of demonic techniques. This worry cannot be wrong, because everyone in the past dynasties has said that arithmetic is a minion of tigers, and arithmetic is the ghost of demonic techniques.

On the other hand, Xu Guochong also said in practice that this thing is too difficult.

Zhu Yijun rejected Xu Guochong for the first time, and the second time Xu Guochong stopped talking about the magic tricks, but pleaded with the supervising students of the Guozijian, let him let go of the rein, and he was telling the truth.

It is too difficult to learn at all.

Zhu Yijun thought for a while and said: "Xu Censorship and I have different opinions. Xu Censorship says it's difficult, but I'm still learning. Why don't I think it's difficult? I have an idea."

As soon as the emperor said that he had an idea, the officials were shocked immediately. Your majesty's ideas are always so unexpected. Your majesty, please don't come up with an idea. up.

Zhu Yijun didn't care whether the ministers were happy or not, and said with a smile: "Then I will come to Yilun Hall tomorrow to talk about arithmetic, why not talk about recruiting skills."

Yilun Hall of Guozijian, which was called Chongwen Pavilion in the Hongwu period, was renamed Yilun Hall in the Yongle period. It was the place where the emperor went to give lectures after the emperor visited the Guozijian. The Chuan Siqing passed down the system and preached to teachers and students to study hard and respect teachers.

Zhu Yijun felt that since it was a place to give lectures, could he, a gentleman, be a teacher in person and teach mathematics to the students of the Imperial College?
Zhu Yijun's reading of the Four Books and Five Classics is not bad, but Guozijian's lectures on the Four Books and Five Classics are very good, but his arithmetic is not very good.

If the monarch and teacher are one, then fulfill your obligations as a monarch and teacher in the world, and talk about it in person.

Can't you?Zhu Yijun plans to go into battle by himself and talk about recruiting skills.

The technique of recruiting messengers was created by Guo Shoujing, Zhu Shijie and others in the Yuan Dynasty. It was widely used in Shishili and Siyuan Yujian. The recruiting technique was called Newton's interpolation formula in later generations.

Hearing what the emperor said, Zhang Juzheng hurried out of the queue and bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, I think it's better to talk about the Four Elements Art, because recruiting is too difficult."

Zhu Yijun said very confidently: "Mr., are you afraid that I won't understand? Didn't I show you how to calculate the line of sight of the sun, moon and five stars using the method of recruiting difference in the Piandian yesterday, that is, when you read Astronomical Operation Theory."

"I can explain clearly, sir, don't worry."

Zhang Juzheng was not worried about the little emperor, he was worried about the supervisor.

"Your Majesty can understand, but the supervisors don't understand. I'm not worried that your Majesty will not understand, but I'm really worried that the supervisors will not understand. I am even more frightened by Tianwei's calculations, and I am even more unwilling to learn." Zhang Juzheng didn't want to prevent the emperor from going to Yi Lun Tang gave lectures to the superintendents, but His Majesty engaged in recruiting methods as soon as he came up. Isn't this killing people?
Lectures are fine, but they can't be so difficult, otherwise the students won't be able to understand, and His Majesty will think that the supervising students are too stupid, which will damage the friendship between the monarch and his ministers.

"Then why don't we say that since the powers of the ancestors are the same, the accumulation cannot be different?" Zhu Yijun actually didn't want to talk about the quaternary art, it was a bit too simple.

"Your Majesty, I think the Siyuan technique is just right. No matter how difficult it is, the supervisors may not be able to understand your majesty's earnest intentions." Zhang Juzheng immediately opposed it when he heard that he wanted to talk about the principle of the ancestors. Only then can you study it, let the supervisors learn this, they can learn it, right?

Zhunzhun: earnestly and patiently teach.

"Okay then, I will go to Yilun Hall to give lectures on mathematics in the afternoon of the third day of every month." Zhu Yijun followed his husband's advice and chose the simpler quaternion technique to explain.

After Zhang Juzheng succeeded in compromise, the courtiers all heaved a long sigh of relief. Zhang Juzheng fulfilled his mission of Yuanfu and sealed the emperor successfully.

If His Majesty is really asked to talk about recruiting skills, if the student can't understand, wouldn't he hang himself to apologize?

The quaternion technique is simple, just right.

Zhu Yijun is still a bit regretful, but actually wants to talk about this triangular surveying and mapping method. This is Zhu Zaiyu's biggest achievement after entering Beijing, and now he has begun to measure and calculate. The previously seriously out-of-scale map can finally be further corrected.

Talking about the triangulation method can effectively respond to the first kind of wind public opinion, arithmetic is useless and absurd.

It's because I don't know how to use it, I don't understand it, and I rely on arithmetic theory. It's not that there is a problem with mathematics, but that there is a problem with people.

But the triangulation method is also a cutting-edge arithmetic that only Minglitang will be exposed to.

"What does Xu Xun think about my handling? Look, you say it's difficult, but I don't think it's difficult. I'll go and tell the students of the Imperial College about this." Zhu Yijun seemed to be asking Xu Guochong that he was going to give a lecture, but Xu Guochong disagreed. agree.

Whether Xu Guochong agrees or not, he has to agree.

"I would like to thank Your Majesty for your grace." Xu Guochong realized that something was wrong. He originally asked the emperor to reduce the burden, but the emperor wanted to go out in person.

The Confucian scholars of Guozijian actually don’t want to learn arithmetic for one reason, that is: they don’t know whether the emperor’s arithmetic is really good. Do you like it?

Now it is a mule or a horse, and it can be pulled out for a stroll.

Zhu Yijun showed a sunny smile, indicating that Xu Guochong can leave, can he explain clearly, explain clearly, won't he know in the afternoon?
After lunch in the afternoon, Zhu Yijun went to the Yilun Hall of the Imperial College with a lot of tails.

Fan Yingqi, Sun Yingao and others waited for the Guozijian's sacrificial wine, and carefully selected [-] supervising students with far-leading grades from Mingli Hall and Bypass Hall to come to study.

Zhu Yijun appeared in the school, and after everyone saluted, Zhu Yijun's small arithmetic class started.

　I know about the name change of Zhang Juzheng's sons, but it's just for the convenience of reading, asking for a monthly ticket, woohoo! ! ! ! !
