At this time, Wang Ju's ten volumes of elementary mathematics arrived in the capital.

There were too many math books before the Song Dynasty, but this math book was different, long before it came out, there were many advertisements on the bamboo paper. Therefore, as soon as it came out, it aroused the curiosity of some people.

In fact, the ancient and modern exchanges are the same, and it cannot be simply interpreted by admiring foreign countries, at least aside from the military, in terms of culture, science and technology, and economy, the Song Dynasty has stood at the peak of this world. But why are the cotton cloths and glasses of Dashi, the secret colors of Goryeo, the Japanese swords and paper fans, and the Xia Guojian so famous? Is it true that Goryeo secret color celadon has outperformed some porcelain of the Song Dynasty? Another example is Xia Guojian, in fact, the quality and beauty of the Taoxi sword produced by Wangjiazhai later have surpassed that of Xia Guojian, and there are many styles, but why does the price always fail to match Xia Guojian?

It's mainly imported products, which everyone thinks are rare.

The same is true, now Wang Ju uses the text symbols of Waiyi to solve math problems, so let's see how he solves them. This time, such a thick arithmetic book must finally have an annotation.

And it's really not expensive.

When it came to the market, it was always more than 900 yuan, and it was only more than 900 yuan when it turned into real money. You must know that a thin unannotated "Book of Changes" costs more than 100 yuan. Therefore, some people immediately buy, and others wait and see. But those who bought it were immediately surprised.

This math book is not only math, but also too much water.

For example, when talking about the principle of trigonometry, Wang Ju deliberately came up with a problem, wanting to be poor and go to the next level. Then he drew a picture with an accompanying text saying that the earth might be round. The sun is the heart, the moon revolves with the earth, and the earth revolves with the sun. This would explain many astronomical phenomena.

Then he asked, if you really stand tall, you can see far, and use this topic to explain the principle of the eyeball. and the difference between myopia and presbyopia.

For example, the growth of potted plants is used to solve the problem, which absorbs some water and a little soil. However, the plant is split apart and the water is removed. Its actual weight exceeds the soil it absorbs. So where do these nutrients come from? So he used the light one as the top and the turbid one as the bottom to explain that the air is not vacuum, and there are many substances. Then a few more examples, such as the burning of charcoal, explain some of the substances in the air.

Strictly speaking, it is a combination of elementary school mathematics and nature.

But when it comes to the scientific aspects, it is only a rough talk, not a detailed explanation.

In addition, he also talked about the abacus, and talked about the Longmen accounting method, which was more advanced and simple than the four-pillar settlement method adopted by the Accounting Department of the Third Division of the Song Dynasty.

That's a good thing.

Some businessmen immediately smell the value in it. Even Tang Jie, the third envoy, heard about this, but when he sent someone to buy them, these ten math books were no longer available on the market.

Karasuke is also known for his big mouth.

He immediately wrote a letter to impeach Wang Ju, this book is beneficial to the country and the people, why Wang Ju did not hand it over to the imperial court, but used it for profit.

Zhao Ji was worried about the situation in Yanzhou, and said angrily: "Tang Qing, this book is only 800 wen handed over to the merchants, do you think it can make a profit?" ”

"Then why don't you hand it over to the third division?"

"I have a set here, you take it first. Besides, the carved plate is still there, and it will be printed in the coming year, so why bother. ”

"But the minister thought it would be better to name it the Elementary Arithmetic."

"Hence the name Elementary Mathematics. It's the study of numbers, do you think it can replace Confucianism, or Taoism and Buddhism? ”

"Not really." Tang Jie replied honestly.

"That's it, I will say to Wang Ju and ask him to print a few hundred more copies and distribute them to the three divisions and various transfer envoys."

Tang Jie went down with this set of books, and Zhao Ji came to Jixian Academy, found Wang Ju, who was repairing the book, and asked, "Why is it called mathematics?" ”

Anyway. It's always a little bad to get into school.

"陛xià. Chen has always said that for thousands of years, everyone has too deep misunderstanding of strange tricks. So much so that Zhuge Liang's wooden oxen and flowing horses were lost. If there is such a thing, how much manpower will be saved in the mountainous area. ”

The main wooden cattle are already mythical, and there is no need to push them, a large group of wooden cattle and homeless people will run with goods, of course, "lost". In fact, at this time, the people of Bashu also invented two kinds of cars, "there is a small car in Shu, which carries eight stones alone, and the front is like a bull's head; and a cart, pushed by four men, carrying ten stones." In fact, it can be used as a wooden cow and a flowing horse. But how does it compare to the legendary Wooden Ox Flowing Horse?

Therefore, Zhao Zhen was silent and said: "Wu Hou's ingenuity is also, but Qing is not much inferior." ”

Wang Ju laughed and laughed, yes, compared with the legendary Zhuge Liang, he is definitely inferior......

He also said: "Therefore, the minister named the student to make everyone pay attention to it." It is learning, of course, it is only a kind of primary school, but it will be of great use in the economy and people's livelihood. For example, this time to repair water conservancy, it is precisely because of the use of the minister's mathematics that the waste is not strict, and this alone may save more than one million yuan of money. ”

"What Qing said is extremely, at least it is a primary school. The third division made Tang Jie find me and wanted to ask for this book, and I also agreed, asking you to send someone to reprint it, and send hundreds of copies to the third division when the time comes. ”

"Okay, it's not that the ministers don't send it, but I'm worried that they won't like it. I immediately wrote to Hangzhou and asked them to reprint them, and they could send them to Sansi next spring. But His Majesty, the minister is also going back. ”

"Your second uncle has returned to Yanzhou, don't be in such a hurry."

"Wangjiazhai suffered heavy losses this time......"

"I have issued the third edict, let Lu Xu, Zhao Zhong, Gui Niang Lang bury, and the patriarch of your small village, Wang Quan, go to Beijing with your servant to inquire."

That is, he is going to breathe a sigh of relief for Wang Ju.

However, Western Xia did a very stupid thing, what people in this era say is a matter of life, it is fooling, just like the Qi people of the Song Dynasty.

But there is one that is no less than the principle of heaven, that is, to enter the earth for peace.

If you're dead, don't bother him, and it's better to even have fewer evaluations. But Sima Guang didn't take it seriously, and as soon as he took the position, he immediately demonized the just-dead Zhao Ji. So this incident has a deep impact on Zhao Ji's two sons, Song Zhezong, Song Huizong! Song Zhezong can still be rational, Song Huizong directly erected a monument, didn't you scandalize my Laozi, I will directly erect a monument and knock you all down, the first is Sima Guang, and the second is Wen Yanbo. Then there are Lu Gong, Lu Dafang, and Liu Zhi. Fan Chunren, Han Zhongyan and Su Dongpo and others. It also includes Zhang Dun, who opposed Song Huizong's ascendancy. Zhang Shangying, who went against Cai Jing.

Therefore, when the matter came out, almost all the ministers and ministers shut their mouths.

Peace is good, but Western Xia is so desperate, can they hope for peace?

However, it has far-reaching implications, not only for the time being, but also for the peace ministers, but also for many people.

"The minister has to avoid it even more."

"No, you don't."

"Your Majesty, the minister's actual stay in the capital is not beneficial to His Majesty, and the move to reduce troops. The difficulty is in Shaanxi, now that there is Han Gong in Shaanxi, who dares to disagree? Fangchang Hedu and the two-eight-point system are implemented smoothly, and there is no need for ministers. But this incident happened, and the people of Wangjiazhai could no longer stay in Wangjiazhai. As Zhao Zhong said, if you want them to be safe, you must migrate to Zheng Baiqu. But from the security army to Zheng Baiqu, there is a long distance. People want to move with their families, property, and even the remains of their ancestors. It's not easy. The ministers must help them. ”

"Can it be resettled elsewhere in Yanzhou?"

"Your Majesty, Guo Kui will go to Yanzhou, and he will be safe. However, the officials of the DPRK and China are mixed. Even if Yao Shun is resurrected, it is difficult to screen them one by one. If an official like Lu Shu goes to Yanzhou again, even if he moves to another place in Yanzhou, maybe there will be a tragedy. In particular, the minister's grandparents and father have already been insulted once, and the minister doesn't want them to be insulted again under Jiuquan. ”

Zhao Ji was speechless.

In fact, he really can't think about these things sometimes.

The bones of the ancestors of his trusted ministers were dragged out by the enemy and whipped to the corpse, and Guan Jian Lu Shu ignored it and didn't save it, and it didn't matter if he didn't save it. In the end, you have to fight for a thousand meritorious horses, and it is just a matter of riding down. There are also many important ministers in the Guan Jian court who support them and take the initiative to cover them up.

This is my Great Song?

"And Zheng Baiqu. The minister also had to take a detour to appease him. The beginning of spring is coming, and we can't miss work anymore. Western Xia is perverse, peace is hard to find, and Suizhou is lost out of thin air, and there will be wars in the future, but the scale is just the size. However, when the war broke out, the biggest headache was food and grass. The early completion and late completion of Zheng Baiqu is not only a matter of saving labor and money, but also a matter of saving money and silk once the war resumes, I don't know how much money will be saved. ”

"There is Han Qi in Shaanxi."

"Han Gong agreed to repair the canal, but his attitude towards the annexation of Yintian will be unclear."

"Huh."

"The minister heard that Han Gong has thousands of acres of property......

"Thousands of acres!" Zhao Ji was taken aback.

"Han Gong has been a minister for many years, and since Renzong in the imperial court, all kinds of official salaries are thicker, and Han Gong's money and silk can't be used, so he has nowhere to go, so he has to manage the fields. After so many years of being prime minister, how much will you get paid? Wang Ju said lightly. I don't know if the land of Hanjiazhuang has spread to Neihuang County, in that case, its field yield is not calculated in mu, but in li, and the maximum length can reach more than 100 li.

So in terms of mergers, Han Gong has another attitude. I am not opposed to the annexation, but after the annexation, it will bring the harm of the hidden field, which is the strictest. The people have no way to live, and the population will swell very quickly. Then, in a few decades, if there is a major disaster, there is no need to deal with external insults, and the internal collapse will collapse on its own. ”

"This population ......"

"Your Majesty, didn't the minister say to His Majesty in Xiangguo Temple? Channeling. Not only in the South, but also in the North. But the specific ministers didn't think about it either. Moreover, the country's top priority now is not the population, but the finances. You have to do things step by step, and you can't rush it. ”

"Slowly."

"Medium."

Maybe Zhao Ji is still young now, and he lacks the ability to think independently and control, but he is in a hurry, and in the face of the shortcomings of the Song Dynasty, the pressure can be imagined.

But Wang Ju didn't want him to die young.

Don't do it more, delay it for four or five years, and then it'll be fine.

Otherwise, with Sima Guang's grudge, not only Wang Anshi, but also himself would be even more miserable.

"Let's go," Zhao said.

"But before leaving, the minister said a word, please listen to your majesty, and you can't make a statement to the outside world. It is very difficult for the state to suppress hereditary, but it can control hereditary in moderation. This one is not difficult. The first few years of Majesty are transitions, and when the transition is completed in these years, then you can control the three people and the three families. ”

"Three people and three families?"

"Wen Hanfu, Lu Hanfan." (To be continued)
