Zheng Ruozeng picked up an egg and said while eating, "Lord Luo......"

"Don't call me an adult, we are brothers."

"Done!" Now that Zheng Ruozeng has resigned, he is not in the officialdom, and the whole person is much more relaxed: "No, these two books are really compiled by you?" ”

"Have you seen anyone else compile it besides me?" Luo Xin pursed his lips and said: "It's not me Luo Xin who blows it to himself, now the scholars of the Ming Dynasty are all boastful, and there is no one as pragmatic as me." Those who did not become officials devoted themselves to studying the Four Books and Five Classics, and took the imperial examinations one after another. Those who have already become officials have even thrown away the Four Books and Five Classics, and they only know the drill camp, do they still have the heart to study arithmetic? ”

"Alas......" Zheng Ruozeng sighed, his face was deeply approving, and at the same time, he admired Luo Xin even more:

"No, I didn't expect you to have such a degree of research on arithmetic, but I still don't believe it, you compiled two books in a few days, I'm afraid this is also the result of your years of research, right?"

Luo Xin nodded and said: "Yes, you also know that I have been at home for a long time over the years, and I have nothing to do, so I study arithmetic." In the past few days, I have just sorted out the results of years of research and compiled them into a book. ”

"Is there a follow-up?" Zheng Ruozeng asked expectantly.

"Yes!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "I'm going to compile six volumes first. ”

"Your first two books can already be called classics in arithmetic, and I think we can promote these two books before Sirloin and them have translated that book of logic."

Luo Xin pondered silently, and Zheng Ruozeng continued to persuade: "No, opening an academy is very important. No, you are already a generation of grandmasters in Shilin, "Confucius and Mencius Hebi" has established your status, no one dares to question it, not even Xu Jie, who is not dealing with you, "Yanglin Hundred Articles" and "Yanglin Poetry Collection" have established your status as a generation of talents. If you are promoting these two volumes of arithmetic, you will definitely be able to establish your status as a master of arithmetic. So, when you start an academy, the impact is not the same. ”

"Our academy is not for scientific research, nor is it for recruiting those Shilin children, you know, without the purpose of scientific examination, those Shilin children would not be able to enter our academy, our academy is facing those poor children, my reputation is not big, what is the effect? And ......"

Luo Xin hesitated and didn't speak, but Zheng Ruozeng smiled and said, "Are you afraid that Your Majesty will be jealous of you?" ”

Seeing Luo Xin's stunned expression, Zheng Ruozeng smiled and said: "What you have experienced over the years, as long as you have a heart, you can see that Your Majesty is jealous of you, who made you high!" If it weren't for the fact that His Majesty was jealous of you, Xu Jie would not have been so blatant about you. ”

Luo Xin nodded, for those who can see that Emperor Jiajing is jealous of himself, Luo Xin is not strange, there are many smart people in this world, especially those who have a conflict of interest with you, will care more about you. However, Luo Xin didn't expect that Zheng Ruozeng, a sesame petty official in Nanjing, would also pay attention to him.

"It seems that Zheng Ruozeng is really a great talent, I have picked up a treasure."

"You are afraid of opening an academy in your name, so that Your Majesty will be jealous of you, after all, in that case, maybe in a few years, you will be all over the world. With your reputation, it's not impossible. You are already famous on the side of the military general group, and you are almost mythologized, which is enough to make Your Majesty jealous. If you are in the civil service system, as long as you are an emperor, you will be jealous. ”

When Luo Xin heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and nodded.

"However, as far as I can see, Your Majesty is no longer so jealous of you, and this is also the result of your obscurity and walking on thin ice."

"yes!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "That's why I don't want to open the academy in my name, I want to open it in your name." ”

"No!" Zheng Ruozeng shook his head and said: "The academy we opened is not for the purpose of scientific research, so Your Majesty will not be afraid of you, in Your Majesty's opinion, you are looking for a way for the poor people."

However, opening a college is not just about teaching students, it will have problems in all aspects, and the government, and the gentry, and so on. With your signboard, all problems will be solved. ”

Luo Xin thought for a while and said, "Okay, then the first thing you do when you take office is to promote this count." ”

"No problem!"

Zheng Ruozeng's eyes were burning, and he knew that Luo Xin's complete handing over to him was an assessment of his appointment. If he can complete the task perfectly, Luo Xin will give more power to himself in the future. If he doesn't do it well, Luo Xin will continue to look for a more suitable person.

"Then I'll go back to Suzhou today."

"Go about your business. I will promote these two books first, and at the same time spread your reputation, mainly to make people remember that you are a great Confucian, a great talent, plus a generation of arithmetic masters, and when your reputation rises to a higher point, our academy will come into being. ”

"Hype!"

"What?"

"Nothing."

Luo Xin left Hangzhou and became a shopkeeper again. returned to Suzhou, began to deal with various government affairs, read the secret letters sent by Hu Zongxian, and wrote a letter to Emperor Jiajing.

But he didn't stay idle for long, and two things kept him busy.

The first thing is that Hu Zongxian has encountered a problem, and the bandits have basically won the victory, leaving only Zhang Daoyuan and the leader of the White Lotus Sect. The problem also lies in Hu Zongxian's great victory, which forced Zhang Daoyuan and the White Lotus Sect to retreat to the deep mountains and old forests, which made it very difficult for Hu Zongxian to suppress bandits.

Moreover, after Zhang Daoyuan and the White Lotus Sect retreated into the deep mountains and old forests, they were like fish in water, and attacked the imperial army through a small force, which made the army anxious, and they could not find the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan, but lost a lot.

The remaining small group of Zhang Daoyuan anti-thieves and White Lotus Sect disciples is not a big deal, if it is just like this, Hu Zongxian can win and return to the court. But he didn't catch Zhang Daoyuan and the White Lotus Sect leader, which allowed Hu Zongxian to continue to search in the deep mountains and old forests.

Moreover, Hu Zongxian was worried that the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan would send people into the rear of the army, you must know that this deep mountain and old forest is very vast, and it is impossible to block it at all, so a few people who secretly came out have no way to know.

Who knows if Zhang Daoyuan and the White Lotus Sect have hidden shadows in various state capitals?

Once these shadows are burned, killed, looted, and prevented from fire in the southern state capitals, it will cause great panic and cause great accidents.
