Zhang Shou, who is proficient in the way of borrowing, is very sure, even if Lu Juan turns around, his action of seemingly wiping Zhu Ying's tears will not reveal any flaws. It wasn't until the person completely disappeared outside the door that he put down his hand, and then smiled apologetically at Zhu Ying, who was standing there: "Lu Shangshu, how much is true and how much is false, no one can tell the difference, I think it would be better to bluff him." ”

Zhu Ying was simply embarrassed and angry, especially when she saw that Ge Yong and Chu Ying Qi Jingshan were all smiling, she was even more angry: "Ah Shou! Why do you want to bluff people, why do you have to say I'm crying! ”

"It's because you don't have the impression that you're the kind of person who will cry angrily, and he will be shocked when he says you cry, right? He is a delicate and thoughtful person, which scares him, and he can not sleep well and eat well for several days. After all, we can't do anything with him now. ”

Zhang Shou smiled like a child, and then said very innocently, "Who wants you not to believe me, and suddenly rush out to question him?" Don't scare him, what if he goes back and launches a general attack with those who have a grudge against your father? ”

"I ......" Zhu Ying was suddenly dumbfounded. After a while, she had to lower her head, "I don't know that you met him yesterday, and you have already asked, can't I apologize to you......"

"Of course not! You who have just asked the teacher for guilt are majestic and full of spirit, and even Lu Juan, the secretary of the military department, was shocked by you, not to mention me. If you want to say something wrong, it's because I didn't make it clear to you first, blame me, how can you make you apologize to me? ”

"I ......" Zhu Ying was choked by Zhang Shou's first four words, and when she heard the end, even if she was as generous as her, she couldn't help but blush, and had to shout: "You are playing me again!" ”

Seeing that Zhu Ying showed a distinct childlike attitude, Ge Yong couldn't help but sigh, and then said to the two people on the left and right: "Look, Yingying is such a tricky and powerful girl, and she has surrendered to Zhang Shou!" ”

Chu Ying exchanged a look with Qi Jingshan.

Today, Zhang Huaili and Lu Xuan, one is directly folded in Zhang Shou's hands, and the other is indirectly defeated in Zhang Shou's hands, and Zhang Shou has also received the support of Wang Jie and Zhou Xun, and has obtained a great authority that was impossible for Dr. Guozi to get.

But at this time, Zhang Shou had already finished teasing Zhu Ying and came to them with a smile.

"Teacher, Mr. Chu, Mr. Qi, the emperor suddenly brought so many people over today, why didn't he see the celebrant who had been to Guozijian that day, Bingbi Chukuan?"

As soon as these words came out, Ge Yong's face suddenly darkened. He took a step forward in annoyance, and suddenly poked Zhang Shou's head with his fingers. Zhang Shou, who had already received the teacher's hand, subconsciously slid a step, and Ge Yong's move suddenly failed.

"Do you dare to hide? You're embarrassed to ask Chu Kuan! You kid ran to the ceremonial supervisor yesterday, and a lot of idiots thought you were the second prince, you just caused trouble for no reason! ”

"Do you know what kind of place the celebrant and the outer office is? That's where Taizu once castrated! The first batch of eunuchs in the ceremonial eunuchs, all of whom were selected orphans from the north and the south, began brainwashing and education at the age of three or four, and were castrated at the age of five or six...... Anyway, from generation to generation, all of them have been raised loyally, even if their ancestors and parents stand in front of them! ”

Zhang Shou suddenly gasped, and at that moment, he thought of the Ottoman Empire's Demisheme system. The Sultan sent men to the conquered Christian villages to recruit slaves, who were then trained by the Guard, completely cut off from their relatives. After a long period of brainwashing and military training, these people remained celibate for life, did not marry wives, did not have children, and became the most powerful army around the Sultan.

Later, the Guards abolished celibacy, and gradually the Dmisheme system, and at that time the Ottoman Guards were mixed with no people, and a once-famous army was almost destroyed.

Although there is still a difference between celibacy and eunuchs, it has to be said that the situation is different and reasonable.

Because of this distraction, Zhang Shou was poked in the head by Ge Yong. He stood up straight, didn't dodge anymore, and said curtly: "That day on the Yuehua Tower, when Chu Kuan mentioned that the emperor asked me to be the doctor of the country, didn't I put forward the condition that he should find those people who had come here to make trouble to be my students?" I just asked him to ask for students. ”

"Oh?" Only then did Ge Yong withdraw his hand and frowned, as if he was a little entangled. And Qi Jingshan, who was on the side, was also a person who had experienced the Gefu door blocking incident at that time, and knew that Zhang Shou had judged that these people were at least proficient in arithmetic, so he immediately asked with great interest: "What did Chu Kuan say?" ”

Zhang Shou thought about it, and simply told Chu Kuan what he said to him that day. When he said that most of the remaining arithmetic supervisors in the Guozijian were not going well, and in the end, many of them were summoned by dignitaries to teach servants, and he saw that the faces of the three elders of the arithmetic department in front of him were all very bad, and it was not until he said what he answered Chu Kuan at that time that Ge Yong's stiff face eased a little.

"Servants of wealthy families, arrogant and bullying, even if they have learned a little bit of meridian fur, most of them are not right-minded, not to mention the quiet place of the country's eunuch, others are categorically difficult to tolerate being in the same column as the servants, so it is easy to recruit people in, and it is easy to break the atmosphere! You do it right, let's see how those innocent people are, if it's not enough, you can recruit students, and I and Lao Qi and Lao Chu can support you in this matter. ”

Zhang Shou saw Qi Jingshan bowing slightly, and Chu Ying on the side also nodded again and again, he couldn't help but ask the question he wanted to ask the most in the past few days: "Teacher, Mr. Qi, Mr. Chu, I don't understand, you are all grandmasters of arithmetic, if you insist, the emperor also insists, the Jiuzhangtang of the Guozijian will not fall into that way...... Why me? ”

Zhu Ying was finally freed from the complicated emotions just now, and when she heard Zhang Shou's last sentence, she couldn't help but be stunned. When she saw that Ge Yong and Qi Jingshan Chu Ying didn't speak, she couldn't help but say, "Of course, it's because Ah Shou taught you well!" ”

Ge Yong suddenly smiled: "Xiao Yingying, you are half right. Zhang Shou, you brought out two good students in Rongshui Village, and after Zhang Chen and Lu Sanlang swarmed over, you found Lu Sanlang again, from this point of view, your student luck is very strong, and the most important thing is that these students of yours are all young men in their prime. ”

Chu Ying didn't plan to speak, but at this time, she couldn't help but say: "That's right, in the past, even those who had some talent were all going to be officials, small ones were more than twenty, big ones were thirty or forty, I can't afford to wait, once the official road is lost, who will be obsessed with what they have learned?" ”

Qi Jingshan also smiled: "The three of us, Lao Ge is a generation of famous families praised by Emperor Taizu, Lao Chu is a wealthy family, I was too lazy to be an official after taking the Jinshi as a stepping stone, I was also a second-class Jinshi back then, I was in charge of Qin Tianjian, and I was an official all the way to Taichang Siqing." Wang Datou was discovered by Lao Ge and was dragged onto the thief ship. Plus Lao Ge, the disciple who was the secretary of the household department......"

He paused for a moment and said meaningfully: "If you count them, 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 almost don't know anything, and Lao Chu and I are the same, the students of the year are now forty or fifty years old. The Ten Books of Reckoning...... It's too difficult, and few young people can put in the effort to learn. ”

Well, the nine-chapter arithmetic was simple at first, but the business chapter can see people go crazy, not to mention other books...... Ancient Chinese arithmetic, from terms to words to questions, is too unfriendly to beginners, and almost everyone who can learn it is a genius!

Zhang Shou finally generally understood the intention of making himself Dr. Guozi, but at this time, Ge Yong came to a lore.

"Emperor Taizu left some extremely superficial arithmetic books back then, but because they were too superficial, the homes of civil and military officials were only used to teach their newly enlightened children, and later Emperor Taizu abdicated, and the fleet went to sea but capsized because of the storm......"

The abdicated Taizu actually died of capsizing? Zhang Shou gasped. He saw Ge Yong pause suddenly, as if hesitating whether he should say it or not, but after all, his teacher still said it.

"In that shipwreck, the court kept it secretive, and only said that the emperor died of illness, which also changed many things in the future. There was a lot of bloodshed, and although there were still many people who admired Emperor Taizu's achievements, those superficial enlightenment books were gradually lost and unsystematic. At this time, everyone realized that those things were simple back then, but if one or two volumes were missing, it would be equally difficult to understand. ”

"And the big ship sails all over the world, everywhere you go, you see the Nanyi and Xiyi, in the eyes of my court, there is no prosperity at all, let alone the prosperous era, especially the Xiyi side of Emperor Taizu who keeps saying that he should be vigilant, everyone only sees a small country, but our country is a place to dare to call the king, and when I see silk tea, I regard it as a treasure, which is really disappointing the more I look at it."

"My dynasty has been developing all kinds of artillery since the early years of Taizu, and the big ship has been bombarded twice, regardless of which country, it will be honest immediately. The land in the land of Xiyi is not as rich and rich as that of our dynasty, which inevitably makes people feel that even if such a small country is occupied, it is not interesting at all. ”

"And those Xiyi words and pictures, one ghost drawing, one is unethical, and when they are brought back, they are denounced as deviant, and many things are not translated into the right mouth."

"In short, a lot of things have actually been fought for many years."

A sentence of many things has actually been fought for many years, and Zhang Shou vaguely understands the complexity.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the population of the world was not large, and at that time, he could not even plant his own land, and even if the predecessor mentioned that he wanted to colonize, it would attract countless opposition. However, when the results of the exploration are discovered, those small countries outside are not as good as themselves, and some officials will definitely feel that it is not interesting to show off their military power in that kind of place.

And what about the Americas? It was one of the richest places in the world, if not one. Because there is only America, there is no desert, there is no Gobi or anything like that, only endless jungles. Why aren't there any sea ships going to the Americas?

Perhaps, the fleet organized after Taizu's abdication capsized on the way to the Americas? Converting the current age to the Gregorian calendar, it seems that it is not the era when Columbus discovered America, right?

And several domestic battles for the throne seem to involve not only the bloodshed of the palace, but also the civil war, which also makes some people in the center of the Celestial Empire naturally feel that it is completely unnecessary to spend the effort outside, and it is better to concentrate on running their own Celestial Empire power first.

"Now the two parties in the imperial court are fighting, one is not to allow foreign books to enter the country, and the other is not to allow Xiyi people to live in our country permanently. As for the sea ships, Nanyi and Xiyi both admired the silk porcelain of our dynasty, and the imperial court still attached great importance to Nanyang, the kings and nobles over there were very easy to send, as long as a large number of luxury goods were shipped over, there were countless spices, gems and mahogany, mahogany has always been Taizu's favorite! ”

Ge Yong instinctively hid one thing and didn't say anything.

Third, the court was worried that Taizu did not die at the beginning, but he never returned to China, and there were descendants scattered abroad and the founding of the country as king, so they have been quietly looking for it! Otherwise, it is true that merchant ships are not forbidden, but every time the official ships of the imperial court go to sea, it costs a lot, how can they always send them out?

Why is the Ming artillery so strong? Isn't it that Taizu rewarded skilled craftsmen and even personally instructed them to create those incredible weapons that weighed more than a thousand catties? It's a pity that the descendants are not good, and some of the descendants of the skilled craftsmen have been displaced to the north, otherwise, even if the Beiyu colludes with Donghu, how can they be the opponents of the Ming Dynasty?
