Through conversation, Zhao Hao learned that Hua Shuyang has been fond of arithmetic since he was a child.

Arithmetic is one of the six arts of a gentleman, and the Hua family is the richest man in Wuxi, and it really needs children to be good at financial management. Therefore, Hua Shuyang studied arithmetic with the famous mathematician and Xiuning businessman Cheng Dawei in addition to his studies. In addition, he was talented and far beyond ordinary people, and soon dabbled in the works of his predecessors that could be found such as "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", "Zhou Ji Sutra", "Arithmetic Classics", and "Fixations".

But there are many things he can't understand, like some Tianyuan Technique, Quaternary Technique...... Hua Gongzi was in a fog, and he still couldn't understand it when he asked for advice everywhere. Cheng Dawei is already considered the world's top mathematician, but he still can't answer Hua Shuyang's questions.

Since the Song Dynasty abolished the 'Ming Arithmetic Subject' from the imperial examination, the once brilliant arithmetic science in China has gradually declined, and in this dynasty, only daily application is left, and few people have gone to study this subject. Moreover, most of the great mathematicians in our history are good at arithmetic and solving equations, and they are far ahead of the world in calculus specific problems, but they only regard mathematics as an application and a kind of interest, and they lack speculation about the deeper things in mathematics, so they naturally cannot axiomatize it.

And axiomatization is necessary for future generations to systematically study mathematics and conduct in-depth research. Without this step, it will always be difficult to enter the door of mathematics; can only look up to the achievements of the predecessors, and cannot understand it......

It wasn't until Hua Shuyang saw the book "Elementary Mathematics" that he suddenly found the key to solving those difficult questions. He can see from the book that the author has sorted out a whole set of discipline systems, as long as he follows the author all the way to learn, his questions will not only be solved, but he will also enter the classroom and become a generation of mathematicians.

What makes him even more fascinated is that in this book, any assertion can be affirmed or denied, and this argument is rational and objective, completely free from any sophistry and authority, and can accept any doubts and refutations!

This is very different from traditional Confucianism. Confucianism could only succumb to Song Confucianism's commentary on the words of the sages, and those with a little critical thinking ability would inevitably have doubts. So the rebellious psychology came into being, but the psychology still could not prove its own correctness, and it still followed the old path of idealism.

Hua Shuyang had a bold idea, if he could build the knowledge of things on the basis of mathematics, use mathematical methods to study the world, and then axiomatize it, wouldn't he be able to find the absolute truth that could stand anyone's test?

No matter how proud Hua Shuyang was, he couldn't resist this temptation. So he made up his mind, even if he didn't let his father-in-law enter the door, he would worship Zhao Hao as a teacher!

Anyway, the daughter-in-law has married into the door, what are you afraid of?

It's a big deal, when the time comes, kneeling on the washboard is ......

~~

One of the two is dedicated to apprenticeship, and the other is willing to accept apprentices, which can be described as dry firewood and fire, just a little bit.

Zhao Hao made a little fuss, and then sighed helplessly: "Originally, I didn't plan to accept any more apprentices, but when I came to Wuyang, I said a lot of good things for you; Second, there are not many people in this world who are willing to learn mathematics, so in order not to lose this knowledge, I will make an exception to accept you. ”

"Great!" Hua Shuyang was pleasantly surprised, he had heard Wang Wuyang say that he almost fainted to death at the beginning, so he had the pity of the master and the subordinates. I didn't expect it to be my turn, but I only knelt for an hour......

It seems that I like the master more than the sixth brother......

Hua Shuyang bowed to Zhao Hao four times happily, and then got up to meet Wang Wuyang, the senior brother.

Wang Wuyang was still a little surprised, and said in his heart, why didn't the master embarrass him? But when he heard that Hua Shuyang had changed his name to 'Senior Brother', he suddenly came to his senses.

No matter how many apprentices the master accepts in the future, I am the senior brother of the mountain, and they all have to respect me!

Thinking about it, Wang Wuyang regained his bright smile, smiled and helped Hua Shuyang, who was bowing, and said, "Senior brother, don't worry, senior brother, I will teach you well." ”

"Thank you, senior brother......" Hua Shuyang thought that Wang Wuyang just said a scene. Unexpectedly, this senior brother is serious......

After lunch that day, Zhao Hao's nap time came.

Hua Shuyang also wanted to find a place to squint for a while, but was dragged to Gao Wu's room by Wang Wuyang, and asked him to change out of the hibiscus brocade robe and put on the same big shuttle narrow-sleeved short robe as himself.

Hua Shuyang fiddled with the narrow cuffs, and couldn't help but smile with novelty: Is this going to ride and shoot? "I haven't worn much of this style yet."

"Being well-dressed is not only convenient for riding and shooting, but also for work." Wang Wuyang threw a rag to Hua Shuyang and said, "Wipe the furniture, tabletops, bedheads, and windowsills in all rooms, don't make any noise, and make a noise until the master takes a lunch break." ”

"Ah, you still have to work?" Uncle Hua's face was full of surprise, the richest man in Wuxi and the son of Hua Taishi, but his ten fingers did not touch the spring water.

"Nonsense, didn't you see it all that day?" Wang Wuyang glanced at him and said: "After I entered the door, I worked every day, and I didn't rest for a day." ”

After speaking, he lay down on Gao Wu's bed, stretched his waist and said, "You can be regarded as having someone to work for me......"

Gao Wu would go to the front to help at this time, and Wang Wuyang happened to occupy the magpie's nest and took the opportunity to stare for a while.

"...... you" Hua Shuyang knew that what Wang Wuyang said that day was true, looking at the rag in his hand, he still asked a little unwillingly: "Can I let the scholar do it?" ”

"No, Master said that you must bow down and practice everything in person to hone your mind." Wang Wuyang shook his head resolutely.

Hua Shuyang asked dejectedly: "I have to do it all when I sweep the courtyard, serve tea and pour water, pinch my shoulders and beat my back, and wash vegetables and pick vegetables?" ”

"It's all the same." Wang Wuyang closed his eyes comfortably and said, "If you don't do this, how can you wear off the arrogance on your body?" How can you find the heart of a child? How can you stop being impetuous? ”

"Uh, okay......" Hua Shuyang thought about it and made sense, Wang Wuyang was also the son of the Wang family, he could put down the work he did, and there was no reason why he couldn't do it. Otherwise, wouldn't Master look down on him?

Thinking of this, he took the basin of water, took the rag, and began to work.

~~

An hour later, about the master was about to wake up, Wang Wuyang also came out of Gao Wu's room and stretched his waist, and saw Hua Shuyang still wiping the windowsill.

He stretched out his hand to wipe the place where Hua Shuyang had just passed, and then showed him his finger and said, "There is still ash, I haven't wiped it clean." ”

"This is the outside, is it so serious?" Hua Shuyang rolled his eyes and muttered in a low voice: "It's raining all day, how do you wipe it clean?" ”

"You think it's just for you to work?" Wang Wuyang put on the shelf of the senior brother and taught: "This is cultivation, do you understand?" ”

"I'm studying math, not sweeping the floor!" Uncle Hua was so angry that he threw the rag to the ground.

"If you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world?" saw that Zhao Hao didn't know when, standing at the door with his hands in his hands.

Hearing this, Qiaoqiao almost turned his back on it, if you want to talk about laziness, this Caijia Lane, no, is there anything better than your Zhao Gongzi in Jinling City?

How can you have the face to educate your apprentices like this?

Unexpectedly, Hua Shuyang showed a teachable look, bowed down and picked up the rag and said, "Master, I was wrong......

"It's good to know what you're wrong and work hard." Zhao Hao didn't expect that his words would have such weight in the hearts of the second apprentice, and he was embarrassed to pretend for a while.

He said warmly to Hua Shuyang: "Since you are going to take the township exam, don't be distracted by mathematics for the time being, first work with Wu Yang to write essays, if you can take the test to solve the yuan, I will teach you "Elementary Mathematics". ”

"Yes, Master." Hua Shuyang's eyes lit up when he landed, and he suddenly felt energetic to work.

"Master, didn't you also let me win the Xie Yuan...... Wang Wuyang panicked when he heard this: "There is only one Xie Yuan?" ”

"Then it's up to you to have the ability." Zhao Hao smiled and said, then glared at him and said, "You will bully your junior brother less in the future." Do you remember that you should love and help each other? ”

"Yes, Master." Wang Wuyang is naturally more deferential than Hua Shuyang.

"I know, why don't you hurry up and pick vegetables!" Zhao Hao waved his hand and drove Wang Wuyang to the room.

"It's not necessary for them to help." Qiaoqiao served Zhao Hao a plate of longan, and whispered: "Originally, one was fine, but now that the two apprentices are working, I am about to lose my job." ”

"Don't worry, none of them can cook." Zhao Hao smiled and comforted Qiaoqiao and said, "If you really have nothing to do, you can also help me peel the dragon's eye." ”

"Think beautifully!" Qiaoqiao reached out and slapped Zhao Hao on the head, turned around and ran away.

Zhao Hao smiled and sat back on the chair, peeling the crystal clear dragon eye, while looking at the rainbow that quietly appeared in the western sky, he couldn't help but be a little drunk.
