Chapter 89 Begin to ask for advice, this is called a system of quadratic linear equations
"Mr. Zhao, I take the liberty of disturbing you today mainly because we have read the Three Character Classic written by Mr. Zhao.
This is a shocking work and we want to discuss it with Mr. Zhao personally."
Although His Majesty had already explained this to these people no less than 10 times when he was in court in Chang'an City.
Even while riding in the carriage, I explained to them again.
This master is 17 years old and is his sworn younger brother. When he arrives, don't have doubts because of his young age.
Even though everyone had already been mentally prepared to come to Zhaojiazhuang and see the so-called master in His Majesty's mouth, especially at such a young age, they still felt murmuring in their hearts.
At such a young age, do you really have such great abilities?
Or does it mean that he has his own master? In fact, those things were written by his master, and those who were his apprentices wrote their own names? "
We are all guests, please take a seat!"
The group of people took their seats one after another.
"Masters, if you have any questions, you can ask my dear brother for advice.
My good brother is a warm-hearted person, and he will definitely tell you everything he knows!"
"Thank you, shopkeeper Li, Mr. Zhao. My surname is Kong, and everyone calls me Kong Fuzi.
Since Shopkeeper Li has said so, I will take the liberty to ask Mr. Zhao a question!"
"It's okay, Confucius, just ask!"
He calls himself Confucius, so he must be from Shandong, and must be a descendant of Confucius, a great Confucian from Shandong.
Today's various academic disciplines in the Tang Dynasty can be regarded as a hundred schools of thought contending and a hundred flowers blooming.
Confucianism, in particular, does not restrict people's thoughts as seriously as later generations did.
It was only with the rise of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism in the Song and Ming dynasties that many modern people said something crazy.
If the law of nature destroys human nature, starving to death is a small matter, but being unruly is a big matter, and it binds human nature even more, which makes people a little disgusting.
"Mr. Zhao, I wonder which sect Mr. Zhao is a disciple of? But I am a Confucian?"
"I have no connections and no affiliation, I'm just an idle person."
Ah, how could an idle man with no background or sect be able to create such a stunning masterpiece?
"Although I have no sect and am just an idle person, I usually study the books of various sects carefully."
That’s it. Just saying this makes it clear!
"Master Zhao, who doesn't know your master?"
"My master?"
"I don't know what these masters know, but my good brother's master has passed away."
It's such a pity. I don't know what kind of wise man can teach such an outstanding disciple.
"I don't know, Master, what do you think of Confucianism?"
Seek common ground while reserving differences!
Seeking common ground while reserving differences, although it is only 4 words, it is full of great wisdom.
"What is meant by seeking common ground while reserving differences? In fact, in the Tang Dynasty, besides Confucianism, there were other doctrines.
Since every theory appears, it means that it has its own truth.
Especially those that have existed for hundreds of years and are still handed down, it shows that their doctrines have many things that are beneficial to the people.
Because only doctrines that are beneficial to the people will be accepted by the people and continue to spread.
What we can do is to integrate the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought and integrate them.
Just like people, can you guarantee that a person has only advantages and no shortcomings?
Since Confucius founded Confucianism, it has spread throughout the Central Plains.
Today's Confucianism, after generations of repairs, is developing in a more perfect direction, and only what is beneficial to the people is good!"
Look, what Mr. Zhao said was profound. It did not belittle and ridicule other doctrines, but at the same time let them know what shortcomings there were in their own Confucianism.
"Seeking common ground while reserving differences, that's it. Thank you Mr. Zhao for clarifying my doubts. Mr. Zhao, I still have one more question!"
In the next half hour or so, Confucius began to talk about the problem non-stop.
Zhao Mu slowly answered them.
Every answer was flawless and even better, making the few of them feel excited.
I also realized more and more how powerful Mr. Zhao was.
"To be honest, Mr. Zhao, these problems have been bothering us for a long time.
It's just that after many discussions among us, we didn't come up with any results.
Today, Mr. Zhao mentioned something like this, which made us suddenly enlightened. Mr. Zhao, please enjoy and pay my respects."
This worship is not the praise of Zhao Mu by a few people, but the admiration from the heart of scholars who are more knowledgeable and has nothing to do with age.
"Mr. Zhao, just now, Mr. Zhao, you said that you have studied books from various sects?
I wonder if Mr. Zhao can count?"
"Arithmetic, I've also done some research."
"In that case, I have another question that I would like to ask Mr. Zhao for advice."
please.
When the master asked the question about chickens and rabbits living in the same cage, he looked at Zhao Mu expectantly.
However, when he heard the question he asked, Zhao Mu felt awkward all over.
I don't know what to say to such a simple question.
"Mr. Zhao, I wonder if this question is difficult?"
"Master, it's not that this question is too difficult, but I feel that this question is too simple.
In fact, it can be solved through a system of linear equations of two variables.
Lingling, I remember I told you about this issue before, so it’s up to you to explain it to these ladies."
"It's the young master!"
Linglong stood up and saluted the ladies, and then began to talk endlessly about how to solve the problem of a chicken and a rabbit in the same cage.
Set up the equation and replace the chicken with a symbol and the rabbit with a symbol.
After a system of linear equations of two variables, the quantity corresponding to each symbol is finally calculated.
In this way, the problem of chicken and rabbit in the same cage can be calculated.
Ah, this?
The linear equations of two variables are replaced by symbols. Several people kept making strokes on their hands while thinking about what the Linglong girl said.
"Wonderful, wonderful, Mr. Zhao used this method, it is so convenient."
If we were to count the chicken and the rabbit in the same cage, it would take at least half an hour.
But using this system of linear equations of two variables, it can be calculated in just a few breaths of time.
I really didn't expect that the personal maid next to Mr. Zhao would be so powerful and terrifying.
"Mr. Zhao, in fact, apart from this problem, we have several other questions!"
Now that many questions have been answered, several people are becoming more and more addicted to it.
I wish I could ask all the questions that I have been confused about these years.
"I went back to my hometown in Shandong last year and visited Mount Tai.
When I saw the majestic Mount Tai, I thought how great it would be if I could measure the height of Mount Tai.
But I know that Mount Tai is so high that it is extremely difficult to measure.
I returned to Chang'an and discussed it with other people, but no results were found.
