Ming Dynasty: Teaching The Prince Dragon-Slaying Skills At The Beginning

In the heavy rain, Yan Changqing walked for more than half an hour before returning to his residence in a remote corner of Nanjing.

Compared to other sixth-grade and third-grade officials, with his previous status as a ninth-grade math doctor, he could only afford a house in this corner at most.

Although the house is not big, it is quiet and elegant. Not far from the house is the end of the Qinhuai River, which can be regarded as a beautiful scenery.

The first time he got home, Yan Changqing put a bucket of hot water on himself, and then immersed himself in the hot water.

In the misty heat, I thought about my life over the past year.

A year ago, he traveled back in time to the beginning of the eleventh year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty and became an arithmetic assistant in the Imperial College.

If he traveled through time and became an assistant professor at the Imperial Academy in other studies, then he might have no other choice but to resign on the spot and run away.

After all, as a modern person in the past life, who would have no trouble reading Confucian books such as the Four Books and Five Classics? Even a professor of ancient Confucian literature who traveled through time and came to the Hongwu era was not a qualified assistant professor of the Imperial Academy.

After all, the things you have worked hard to study and learn for most of your life are just things that others have known since childhood. The environment and atmosphere between the two are completely different, and there is no comparison at all.

Fortunately, he traveled through time and became an arithmetic assistant.

The top level of mathematics in the early Ming Dynasty was equivalent to the level of high school students in the previous life, and the development of most other mathematics categories was around the level of junior high school students.

For example, "Nine Chapters on Arithmetic" and "Nine Chapters on Mathematics" were the mathematical support for the Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties.

Among them, "Nine Chapters on Arithmetic" mainly involves four arithmetic operations, general division, reduction, and conversion of mixed numbers into improper fractions, as well as geometric application knowledge such as volume and area, and the Pythagorean theorem.

"Nine Chapters of the Book of Numbers" mainly involves the correct solutions to natural numbers, fractions, decimals, negative numbers, linear congruence formulas (Dayan Qiu Yi Shu), Qin Jiushao algorithm, etc.

And these contents are basically within the scope of mathematics knowledge for junior high school students and high school students in previous lives.

And these are only the highest theoretical level of the overall development of mathematics in the early Ming Dynasty. If we fall back to the actual level of mathematical knowledge mastered by the arithmetic teaching assistants in the early Ming Dynasty.

Sorry, in the memory he inherited, in his eyes, the level of an assistant professor at the Imperial College of Calculation in the early Ming Dynasty was no more than that of a junior high school student with barely qualified grades.

Even a doctor from the Imperial College of Mathematics, who represents the highest level of arithmetic in a country, in his eyes is still just a junior high school graduate with excellent arithmetic scores, barely reaching the level of a high school student.

However, this level of mathematics compares to him.

How should I put it, although he was not a math major in his previous life.

But based on the mathematics knowledge he had mastered in his previous life, it would not take much effort to challenge a mere two or three junior high school students, or arithmetic assistants and arithmetic Ph.D.s who are high school mathematics students.

So after he stumped the doctor of mathematics and personally solved the problem that stumped the doctor of mathematics in front of the doctor of mathematics, he became a doctor of mathematics from a teaching assistant in mathematics.

He is also the only one with a Ph.D. in mathematics, because another Ph.D. in mathematics took the initiative to demote himself to a teaching assistant after being stumped by him, and then treated Yan Changqing with the courtesy of a teacher together with the previous doctor who demoted himself to a teaching assistant.

After all, in arithmetic, or mathematics, there is really no sophistication or qualifications to speak of.

Maybe women will cheat on you, brothers will betray you, and subordinates will bite you back, but mathematics won’t!

Because if you can’t do math, you just can’t! ! !

No matter how incompetent and furious you are, you still can't solve a math problem that you couldn't solve before!

Therefore, although it is rare to travel to the Ming Dynasty, Yan Changqing neither wants to do business, nor does he want to become a civil servant prime minister and dominate the world.

I don’t want to do business because the class system was too serious in the early Ming Dynasty! ! !

Businessmen in the early Ming Dynasty can be said to be the lowest class. If they really want to do business, no matter how far they surpass the vision and business awareness of the current era, they will inevitably become the white gloves of others.

They may not even have freedom of life and death. This is what a businessman was like in the early Ming Dynasty! ! !

The reason why I don’t want to become a civil servant prime minister is because during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, being an official or prime minister was really a high-risk profession! ! !

As a beggar, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty naturally had great hostility towards those civil servants. It should even be said that he had extremely strong hatred!

After all, in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind, ninety-nine percent of his tragic experiences as a child were caused by the oppression of corrupt officials.

Therefore, after Zhu Yuanzhang became the emperor, the severity of the punishment for corrupt officials was unprecedented!

Corrupt officials who have embezzled more than sixty-two pieces of stolen goods will be put to death without mercy!

In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang fought his way through the troubled times and finally ascended to the throne of emperor. His murderous nature is among the best among emperors throughout the ages!

According to incomplete statistics, during the thirty years that Zhu Yuanzhang was in power, as many as 150,000 corrupt officials were executed under his orders!

It is simply the best in history!

Even Zhu Yuanzhang, the head of the civil service like the Prime Minister, kills at will!

There were a total of five prime ministers in the early Ming Dynasty. Until Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the prime minister system, four of them ended badly! ! !

Even "Xuda", the only one who seemed to have a good death, did not die a good death according to unofficial rumors.

Therefore, in Yan Changqing's view, choosing to be an official during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty was really a matter of great courage.

At least he lacked a little bit of courage, so he just wanted to stay quietly in the Imperial College and be his ninth grade doctor of mathematics.

Whether it is the current Zhu Yuanzhang or the future Yongle Emperor Zhu Di, he is not interested and does not want to get involved.

So even though he knew that King Yan Zhu Di and other vassal kings came to the Imperial Academy to monitor his lectures, he never went out of his way to establish a line, establish friendship, or invest in advance with King Yan Zhu Di.

And as long as he doesn't mess around in the Imperial Academy, and doesn't get into the eyes of the upper-level civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty, the princes, and even the emperor.

So to be honest, whether it is the future Zhu Yuanzhang who goes on a killing spree for his grandson Zhu Yunwen, or the future Yongle Emperor Zhu Di who takes over the throne as a vassal king.

In fact, it has nothing to do with him, and it will not interfere or affect him.

After all, he is only a doctor of arithmetic from the ninth rank, and is the lowest being in the Ming Dynasty's official system of ninth rank and eighteenth rank.

To put it bluntly, any official who was hit by throwing a brick at Yingtian Mansion was basically more senior than him.
