Chapter 51 The son of the richest man(1/2)
A news spread like wildfire in the pavilion.
"Zhang Sheng is going to talk about the method of mathematical techniques today!" Many scholars were both surprised and suspicious when they heard this.
If the meaning of the scriptures is the throne of theory in the Han Dynasty, then mathematics must be the practical throne!
Since Zhang Cang, the Wenhou of Peking, founded the Han family's performance evaluation system, the promotion, appointment and removal of officials has been closely related to his political achievements.
Even welfare benefits and retirement benefits are closely linked to the political achievements of officials.
For example, according to the system, those with the best performance exam can enjoy the benefits of giving a complaint!
What is a sue? It means paid leave.
In the Han Dynasty, this was an extraordinary honor and the highest reward for officials.
All famous officials of the world have enjoyed suing me.
On the contrary, those who have not enjoyed the sue will definitely not be considered famous officials.
If you want to have good political achievements, you will get the first place when you plan every year.
Assistants and staff who are proficient in mathematics and statistics are essential.
Because the Han Dynasty implemented the national policy of enrolling households and all the people.
The imperial power went to the village pavilion to count population taxes, calculate household registration value, organize the public to repair water conservancy, distribute disaster relief supplies, and report this year's achievements. These all require the assistance of officials who are proficient in mathematical calculations and statistics.
So, from the nine ministers of the central government to the local county roads, they all designed the officials.
As long as you are good at math, you will never have to worry about finding a job these days.
The nine ministers and each department has a large number of accountants. Every year, the nine ministers recruit talents who are proficient in mathematics and statistics.
At all levels of counties, there are even lists for recruitment every year to hire math talents.
Even if you are just a little bit of mathematical fur, you can still serve as a rose in your hometown.
What's even more terrifying is that because of Ning Cheng, in order to prevent another Ning Cheng from appearing, officials at all levels of government had to learn mathematics themselves. Thinking back then, when Ning Cheng was in glory, it brought about a wave of rhythm that the subordinates slapped the superiors.
A large group of particularly motivated clerks and assistants learned from Ning to become a good example.
Many bosses who are not good at math and have insufficient wrists are out of thin air.
Then, these people stepped on their boss's shoulders and kept crawling upwards.
As a result, mathematics has been gaining more attention in the Han Dynasty in the past twenty or thirty years.
A literary man, if he doesn't understand mathematics, he will be embarrassed to meet people when he goes out.
Today, I am still interested in mathematical calculations.
In order to please him, princes such as King Yan Shi, King Changyi King Feng and others studied mathematics.
King Liu Dan of Yan even became one of the best mathematicians in the world!
Other princes and kings followed suit and recruited mathematical talents in their country.
To be honest, as long as you read "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" thoroughly and can use it flexibly, then even if you cannot be recommended, you can still become an official through the means of being recruited by the government and being recruited by the princes and kings.
But how profound and obscure the way of mathematics is?
Anyone who is good at mathematical skills is a white-haired scholar or a son of a noble family.
This Zhang Sheng actually talks about the way to achieve math?
Many people don’t believe it.
"How is this possible?" Someone was talking: "Zhang Shengnian was only twenty years old. Even if he knew it, even a genius might not be able to know the way of numerology!"
This is also the doubt of most people.
The six arts of a gentleman: ritual, music, shooting, impulse, calligraphy, and numbers are recognized throughout the world. Those who can master these six arts are gentlemen.
And what is a gentleman?
A national sage!
"But in the past ten days, why has Zhang Sheng disappointed us?" said a brainless fan of Zhang Yue: "From my view, Zhang Sheng is not sure about things that he has never done! What's more, he will know when he hears this preaching..."
Many people started to sway.
"Or why, let's go and listen?" The scholars talked to each other: "Anyway, there's no money, so what's the point of listening?"
So, by noon, more than 200 people gathered at Zhang Yue’s doorstep, all of whom were wearing long robes and dressed in frobes.
These people are not just poor children.
There were also the children of officials and nobles from aristocratic families who heard the sound of the wind.
You should know that Nanling County is the location of Queen Bo’s tomb, not far from Taizong’s Ba Tomb, and also looks at the distance from Emperor Gao’s Changling.
Many of the heroes of Emperor Taizong and Emperor Gao chose to settle in Baling and Nanling.
On the one hand, he guarded his ancestors' tombs (many Han Dynasty heroes were allowed to be buried with the imperial tombs after their deaths), and on the other hand, he was waiting for an opportunity to return home.
Originally, these people didn't care much about Zhang Yue's actions at Jiating.
For the arrogant noble children, Zhang Yue’s tricks at Jiating were just self-interests among poor people.
It's not surprising.
However, in recent days, people have kept rumoring what happened in Ting Jia.
Many of the reading tips and methods mentioned by Zhang Yue are so magical.
Now, the nobles could not sit still.
They all focused their attention here, and even sent their retainers to Jiating to inquire about the news and listen to the lectures.
After these people returned, they became Zhang Yue's brainless fans and reported to their masters: "Zhang Sheng is a scholar, a man of heaven, generous and kind, and can be called a famous scholar..."
He handed over the notes he had recorded when he was listening.
Now, these nobles could no longer sit still.
After reading the notes recorded by the retainers, everyone was very excited.
The reason for their mistake is that they have long been to Jiating due to their reserved status.
However, I thought that no matter what, I was a famous minister of the country and a descendant of the marquis.
My ancestors were once extremely prominent, how could they go to Jiating so easily to ask a commoner for advice?
Where can we put the face of our ancestors?
What should I do if my family’s reputation spreads?
Then the stalemate came to an end.
But now, it was reported from the Jiating that Zhang Yue wanted to obtain the mathematical method.
These people can no longer sit still.
Mathematics! This is mathematics!
If this Zhang Sheng is indeed a genius, he can teach the way of mathematics and teach the karma of calculation.
But if I miss it, it would be more than worth the loss!
You know, you like math talents nowadays.
Compared to flattering the emperor, is the face of the family considered a P?
So, after the heroes who lived in Changshui Township, they immediately drove over after hearing the news.
Of course, it's not all for advice.
There are also people who want to step on Zhang Yue's head and make themselves famous.
After all, more than 200 scholars gathered in Jiating.
It is one of the places where the number of scholars in Guanzhong gathers the most.
If you can suppress Zhang Sheng here, then you will definitely become famous in Guanzhong and even spread throughout the world!
From then on, he became famous all over the world, reached the peak of his life of attracting attention from all over the world, admired by all the people, became a tall, rich and handsome man, and won the honor and wealthy man.
Therefore, among the gathering group of scholars, there were also a few people who were secretly preparing to smash the situation.
Among these people, a young man with a strong figure, wearing brocade clothes and more than ten servants following him was the most arrogant.
"Confucian scholars are all five worms, stupid people..." As soon as this man arrived at Jiating, he said without hesitation: "In my opinion, Zhang Sheng of Jiating is just a person who seeks fame!"
Such arrogance immediately aroused the anger of many people. Some people even pressed their hands on the hilt of the sword, trying to draw the sword and chop the boy to death!
But in the end, he was worried that this person had many followers and was afraid of something.
"Who is that?" someone asked, "How dare you be so arrogant!"
"Maoling Father Yuan Chang!" The noble prince jumped his eyebrows and snorted coldly: "Do you dare to be dissatisfied?"
Suddenly, there was silence.
Even those who wanted to draw their swords and kill this arrogant noble man had to quietly move their hands away from the hilt of the sword.
To be continued...
