Chapter XXXVIII

"Since the three poems of Biansai are so peerless, so Yumen Pass will definitely be famous, why don't Your Majesty add a fire and encourage the soldiers of Bianguan!" Empress Eldest Sun suggested.

"What the queen said is very true, and it is in line with my heart." Li Shimin was quite touched by the feeling of being enlightened, and he was very interested at the moment and wrote the big words "the first pass in the world".

"Come on, send these five words to Yumen Pass immediately!"

"Yes!" Pang De immediately bowed down to take Li Shimin's ink treasure, turned around and ordered.

"Huh! Catfish effect, Mo Sheng really has great wisdom, a catfish effect shows the true meaning of competition in the world, this little catfish has only been in the Guozijian for one day, and it has mixed the water of the Guozijian. Li Shimin thought of what happened in Guozijian today, and couldn't help but have a gloomy face.

It's not better than not knowing, I'm more frightened, the students I spend a lot of money to train are vulnerable in front of the Mo family, and it is more serious to expose the problem of the school supervision system, attach importance to literature and despise reality, a Mo family has five elites in succession, and the one that admits defeat is still an irrelevant calligraphy.

"Disaster victim problem!" Empress Eldest Sun looked at the two arithmetic problems in front of her, and her eyebrows furrowed.

The dignified imperial reserve officials couldn't even calculate how much food the victims needed, and when something happened, it wasn't just a rush and full of mistakes, and it wasn't the people of Li who suffered at that time.

Empress Changsun is not a deep resentful woman, of course she knows why Li Shimin is angry.

Li Shimin can see that these students' articles are full of flowers, beautiful and fluent, but they can't really deal with problems one by one, that is, the high scores and low ability that later generations said, Guozijian set up arithmetic, but few people pay attention to it, and few people have studied them in depth, and all the energy is used to pile up beautiful words.

can only add icing on the cake, but cannot solve problems in a practical way, is such a talented and incompetent official really a good official? Li Shimin was deeply skeptical.

"Your Majesty, don't be angry, don't talk about the students of Guozijian, it is estimated that many arithmetic students can't calculate the problem of the Mo family!" Empress Changsun gently comforted, revealing another serious fact, this is not an isolated case, but the entire empire is this kind of atmosphere.

Li Shimin couldn't help but feel embarrassed in his heart, he was also in high spirits at that time, and he was eager to solve these two problems, but it turned out that he would only be the first, and the second one had no clue.

However, the second is the real practical problem of dealing with the displaced people, the displaced people and the disaster victims cannot be fixed in one place, where there is food, where there is food, there is a real situation, where there are still displaced people in the world.

If you can calculate the tolerance limit of the local disaster victims in advance and make arrangements in advance, then you can take disaster relief measures in advance, and the empire will avoid a lot of turmoil, which is a blessing for all people!

"Pound, give an order to Guozijian that from now on, Guozijian's students must learn arithmetic well before they can graduate. Otherwise, no official position will be awarded! Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

"Nope! In addition, in the assessment of all princes, one more arithmetic is added. Li Shimin paused and added. If Merton had been here, he would have smiled bitterly.

Li Shimin's short words. directly pushed him into the fire pit and offended all the students of the Guozijian Prison, which is okay, anyway, he has already offended before.

But the latter sentence directly made all the princes hold a grudge against him. Even in the Hereafter. Arithmetic is also a discipline that makes people meditate hard and scratch their scalps, not to mention in the era of Datang, which emphasizes literature and light numbers.

In this dispute between Confucianism and Moxi, although most people were amazed by the brilliance of Biansai's three poems, the arithmetic problem proposed by Merton for the victims of the disaster, whether it was two Guozijian students, also caused a lot of waves in the arithmetic class of Chang'an City.

An ancestral monarch who was once defeated at Merton's command. I've been pondering Merton's questions. But it's obviously very simple, but it's like a fog in front of him, and Zu Mingjun can't break through the fog in front of him.

People like Zu Mingjun have a lot of people in Chang'an.

Countless people want to prove themselves, but they have never had a chance, and now the opportunity has come, as long as they can take the lead in solving the problem of Mo Jiazi, that is, they will take the first step, even if they can't defeat Mo Jiazi. At least a student who proves that he is better than the students of the National Prison.

So many people are quietly cracking this problem, but unfortunately he has no clue. Flipping through the works of predecessors, for a while. Arithmetic quietly rises in the lobby.

Especially after Li Shimin ordered the students of Guozijian and the prince to take the arithmetic examination in their studies, arithmetic became even more popular. The Ten Books of Arithmetic, which usually does not sell, suddenly became a hot seller.

"Zhou Ji Sutra", "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", "Island Sutra", "Zhangqiu Jian Sutra", "Xiahouyang Sutra", "Five Classics of Arithmetic", "Jigu Sutra of Arithmetic", and "Fixation" are the "Ten Books of Arithmetic".

Ten thick books were neatly stacked on the table of the prisoner. All the students looked at Merton with hatred one by one, and it was the culprit in front of them that made them fall into the pit of arithmetic and couldn't extricate themselves!

"Merton, you're doing us a bad deal!" Qin Huaiyu glared at Merton with an indignant expression! His studies were already at the bottom, but this time he added arithmetic, which was basically hopeless.

"That's it!" Cheng Chumo and Yu Chi Baolin looked even more miserable, how pitiful and pitiful they were.

Merton also smiled bitterly, he didn't expect Li Shimin to come to this trick, he was originally in a difficult situation, he offended so many people at once, and he was not treated anywhere again, especially Kong Huisuo, the descendant of the Kong family, who gritted his teeth at him.

He was not good at math in the first place, and now he has to re-learn arithmetic, and the torment is unspeakable.

"Mo Jiazi!" Kong Huisuo looked at the nine chapters of arithmetic in his hand and gritted his teeth.

The only one in the entire Guozijian who saw Merton with a good face was Shen Hongcai, a doctor of arithmetic. It turns out that the status of arithmetic in the country is very embarrassing, although it is a little higher than calligraphy, but it is basically the second-to-last, and not many people pay attention to ordinary studies at all.

Now, the emperor ordered arithmetic to be listed as a compulsory exam, and directly promoted the status of arithmetic like a rocket.

Correspondingly, his status in the country has also been greatly improved, but he has the power of life and death whether the student can graduate smoothly, and the original colleagues who ignored him are now greeted with smiling faces, so that this old pedant who has been frustrated all his life has a feeling of rejuvenation from a dead wood.

All of this was brought by the Mo family. It seems that it is not a bad thing for Mo Jiazi to come to Guozijian. Shen Hongcai, a doctor of arithmetic, thought in his heart.
