Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

In fact, the reason why Li Xin wanted to give these two people a bad impression was not at all because of... er... well, at least not entirely because of his penchant for pretending.

He had already considered his identity: he was only seventeen years old, and Quan Chang'an knew that he was an ignorant dude. No matter who His Majesty Li Er sent to learn from him the re-examination bookkeeping method and Dashi characters, he would be rejected. The person sent here must be unhappy and unconvinced.

If you don't give them a warning first, and let them have such a strong resistance, they will definitely not learn well. Wouldn't Li Xin want to waste more time on them? He didn't want this, he just wanted to teach the people who came and sent them away.

In addition to the above reasons, it is well known that what these Confucian children hate most is deviantism. They have their own set of familiar mathematical notation system. If they want to change this system and switch to a more familiar and convenient mathematical notation system, they will definitely not be willing to cooperate obediently. Maybe they will come up with something like ancestral etiquette as a reason. Therefore, the easiest way is to hit them hard, so that they don't have the face to talk more, and learn from Li Xin obediently.

Judging from the current situation, everything is developing as Li Xin imagined. Of course, Wang Wenjian and Cui Wenyuan may still have some conflicts in their hearts, but that is irrelevant.

"Your Majesty sent us to learn the re-examination bookkeeping method and Dashi characters from His Highness King Chu, and I hope His Highness will not hesitate to enlighten you." Cui Wenyuan bowed his hands and saluted. There is no way, it is obvious that the skills are inferior to others, and it is obviously the most reasonable choice to surrender, at least to retain a little basic decency.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Li Xin didn't bother to continue hurting the fragile hearts of the two guys in front of him, he waved his hands casually and said: "Actually, it's not about whether to teach or not, it's just something you don't know, and I just know how to do it." , and I’m just willing to teach.” After speaking, he picked up a stack of writing paper from the small coffee table next to the recliner, and handed it to Cui Wenyuan and Wang Wenjian.

"This is a document that describes the basic usage of Dashi characters. You study it carefully, and come back to me after two days when you are proficient in using it. I will teach you the bookkeeping method for retesting at that time." Li Xin urged.

Wang Wenjian and Cui Wenyuan looked at each other. They originally thought that Li Xin had more vitriolic things to say to humiliate the two of them, but they didn't expect to throw things at them so readily?

Is there any trap in these materials? It's all about chickens and rabbits in the same cage, deliberately showing them to torture them and humiliate them?

The two who didn't know the situation had no choice but to thank them, and left the Chu Palace together, and agreed to come back together two days later, that is, on July 13th.

Of course, Li Xin didn't know what the two of them were thinking, he just waved his hands silently, said something perfunctorily, and then continued to enjoy the warm autumn sun that he couldn't get enough of, and imagined that he would hold his little wife and bask in the sun together fairy days.

In fact, this time Wang Wenjian and Cui Wenyuan really measured the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Although Li Xin can't be called a gentleman, he can barely be called a good person. What's more, disseminating scientific beliefs in Datang is something he is very willing to do, even if it is just to teach two idiots a little simple mathematics at the level of the first grade of elementary school, he is quite happy, why would he do anything?

Two mornings later, it was still outside the gate of Prince Chu's Mansion. Wang Wenjian and Cui Wenyuan stood quietly in front of the imposing gate with several rows of large copper nails as before.

The only difference is that the faces of both of them are a little haggard, with obvious black eye sockets, heavy bags under the eyes, and red bloodshot eyes.

"Brother Wang, how are you?" Cui Wenyuan asked.

Wang Wenjian was silent for a while, and said: "The king of Chu is really a great talent in mathematics!"

Cui Wenyuan nodded when he heard the words, and said, "To be honest, I think so too."

Although Wang Wenjian is a little lacking in sophistication and not as smooth as Cui Wenyuan, they are almost the same in terms of knowledge.

Since they received this set of "Mathematics Textbook for the First Grade of Primary School" from Li Xin, they studied it earnestly for two days, and it can be said that they forgot to sleep and eat.

At first, they just held the mentality of wanting to find loopholes and laugh at Li Xin, so as to win back the city. However, the more they study according to this material, the more they are convinced by the content. I have to admit that Dashi characters are much more convenient than the mathematical symbol system they are using now. It is like one in the sky and the other in the ground, full of the beauty of simplicity.

Both of them are the head bookkeepers of the household department, and they both copied the account books for a long time before, so they can naturally understand the value of this kind of writing-if tax accounts from all over the country can be recorded in this kind of writing, then the household department officials How much work can be reduced!

The more complicated the calculation process, the more convenient it is to express it in Dashi words, it is simply a miracle!

"I really don't know where the King of Chu got this set of things. If he invented it himself, then he is really smart and a little scary." Wang Wenjian said with emotion.

Cui Wenyuan gave a wry smile, and said, "Yesterday I found a great food scholar and showed him some materials. Do you know what he said to me?"

"what?"

"He said that he has seen these numbers before, but this is the first time he has seen the so-called 'vertical calculation'." Cui Wenyuan said in shock.

Wang Wenjian understood what Cui Wenyuan meant, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "This vertical calculation is really ingenious. Since I haven't even seen the cannibal before, I'm afraid it was really invented by the King of Chu himself. I really don't know what to say anyway. Starting today, I will no longer dare to treat him as an ordinary dude."

Cui Wenyuan said with deep emotion: "Rumors are harmful to people. The King of Chu is clearly a man of extraordinary wisdom. He is a genius!"

Wang Wenjian nodded and said, "I'm starting to have some interest in the double-entry bookkeeping method. Since His Majesty has so formally told us to come and learn this thing, there must be his intentions."

Cui Wenyuan licked his lips and said: "Yes, this kind of thing must be promoted in the future. And the King of Chu will never go to the Ministry of Households to teach one by one. I'm afraid this job will still have to fall on you and me in the future."

The hearts of the two moved, and at the same time they saw the word "promotion" from each other's eyes.

Although Li Shimin didn't say it clearly, it is obvious that as long as the two of them learn the double-entry bookkeeping method and Dashi characters well, their official positions in the Ministry of Household Affairs should be raised naturally.
