Ming Dynasty: Every day, Zhu Yuanzhang is in trouble

After putting down the letter, Yao Guangxiao took out the mathematics textbooks from the package that Liu Bowen sent him.

Sit here and look through it?

I want to see what this mathematics textbook highly praised by Liu Bowen is like.

What kind of teaching materials could enable Liu Bowen to give such an evaluation?

Give Liu Bowen such great confidence.

In fact, he doesn't really believe in these math textbooks.

I don’t think it will be as magical as Liu Bowen said.

In his opinion, most of the words in this letter were exaggerated by Liu Bowen.

One reason is that he wanted to trick himself into teaching.

On the other hand, it was to bring fame to his grandson-in-law.

Although he is a monk, he is different from ordinary monks.

Other monks eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures.

But he neither eats vegetarian food nor recites Buddhist scriptures occasionally.

What I think about in my heart is only the affairs of the world.

I want to show my talents.

Whenever he thought of these things, he felt uncomfortable all over.

I only regret that I was born too late. By the time I had learned enough and was ready to show off my talents, Zhu Hongwu had already started to pacify the world...

I have a lot of knowledge, but I have no place to put it to good use...

This became his biggest regret.

It is also because of this that he pays attention to many things.

I know how many things have happened in the capital over the past year or so.

I also know how wonderful the Ming Dynasty has become now.

And among these things, there is also a person's name.

Mei Yin!

And we also know that Mr. Qingtian did a lot to make Mei Yin his grandson-in-law.

This matter does not seem to be very glorious in the eyes of secular people.

Considering Mr. Qingtian's reputation and talent, it is indeed too shameful for him to do such a thing.

Daoyan also knew that Mr. Qingtian was a man who valued his reputation.

He is not afraid of his reputation and is willing to do such a thing. Perhaps Mei Yin is really talented.

At this time, another letter like this arrived, in which the writer highly praised the arithmetic book written by his grandson-in-law, which aroused some interest in him.

At the same time, I also had some more ideas.

I think the most likely person involved in this matter is Mr. Qingtian, who wants to use this to make his grandson-in-law famous.

Thus finding a backer for the Liu family.

It seems that Mr. Qingtian is indeed old.

I have already started thinking about the aftermath...

Yao Guangxiao's thoughts were floating in his mind, and he soon saw the true situation of the matter.

With this mood in mind, he opened the arithmetic textbook in front of him and wrote the first grade volume.

I was shocked after just a few glances.

"1, 2, 3..."

It is a good idea to use foreign language to replace it.

It is indeed much more convenient...

Daoyan is different from ordinary people.

He was not just a Confucian scholar, but had dabbled in Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.

I don’t think what Mei Yin did was so outrageous.

On the contrary, I think this thing is really clever.

Since it is such a good thing, it is natural to take it and use it for reference.

Besides, even Confucianism is not static.

From ancient times to now, I don’t know how many times it has developed
Many things from various schools of thought were absorbed into it.

In the pre-Qin period, it was not uncommon for Confucianism, Mohism, Legalism and many other schools of thought to absorb each other.

Daoyan flipped through the pages quickly and soon finished reading this thin math booklet for the first grade...

There is nothing strange about this thing. It is just some very basic arithmetic methods.

As long as people understand what arithmetic is and know some simple addition and subtraction.

However, this horizontal writing method is a little bit difficult to get used to...

Thinking this way, Daoyan then flipped through the second volume, and still quickly finished it...

It didn't take long before I had read six books.

However, Daoyan's speed in reading these books gradually slowed down.

Not as fast as before.

After a while, Daoyan suddenly realized that it was getting so late.
The sun sets in the west and dusk falls.

It was already difficult to see clearly in the room.

Only then did he reluctantly take his eyes away from the mathematics textbook spread out on the table.

He is currently reading the eleventh book.

Daoyan was a little surprised. It felt like he hadn't been watching for long, but half a day had already passed.

Then he turned his attention back to the arithmetic textbook.

There was a lot of curiosity and shock in their eyes.

The ease and casualness at the beginning was gone, and it turned into a shock.

This is really not that simple!
I just read what Mr. Qingtian said in his letter and thought he was exaggerating.
After reading it carefully, I found that this book is indeed very exquisite.

When I first saw it, I didn't think much of it, I just thought it was superficial.

But as I read further, the things recorded in it became more profound and exquisite.

The verbal description is too straightforward.

When I first read it, I had some complaints about the writing style of this book. I felt that this book was too colloquial and could not even be called a book.

If this can be called a book, then it would really lower the quality of the book.

But now, when I look at it again, I discover the subtlety of it.

These books, though straightforward.

However, this will indeed make it easier to teach disciples, promote knowledge, and enable people to learn.

After all, this book is used to teach people, not a classic work.

I remembered what Mr. Qingtian said in the letter: when it comes to teaching and educating people, one should not deliberately raise the threshold to keep many people out.

Instead, we should try to lower the threshold as much as possible to allow more people to walk within the threshold.

Combined with the mathematics textbooks he saw in front of him, he completely agreed with this.

Such simple and easy-to-understand mathematics textbooks are indeed easier to understand.

It is conducive to cultivating new talents.

Comparing it with works such as Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art and Zhoubi Suanjing, I feel that Mei Yin's arithmetic textbook is better.

The Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art, the Zhoubi Suanjing, etc. are indeed good things.

But the wording is too concise.

Try to express your meaning with one word as much as possible and you won’t waste more words.

For someone like him, reading these works is naturally stress-free.

There is no such thing as reading difficulties.

But for most beginners, it takes a lot of effort to figure out what it means.

Without a professional teacher to guide you, you can't get started at all.

These are probably what Mr. Qingtian said, that they are artificial obstacles to teaching and educating people...

Collect your thoughts and touch your fat belly.

Daoyan walked out of the meditation room, left the temple, and came to a small shop. He bought two pounds of pork offal, ate it with rice, and wiped his mouth after finishing it in a daze.

He then entered the Buddhist temple again, went into the meditation room, lit the oil lamp, and prepared to continue reading the arithmetic book.

Daoyan never gave up drinking and eating meat.

Just don't eat it inside a Buddhist temple.

In fact, he didn't believe in many things at all.

The Buddhist temple was just a place for him to rest.

Besides, he himself studied Taoism.

Later he became a monk and found a place to settle down.

If he really believed these things, he would not be a monk who was obsessed with giving people a white hat.

Show your ambitions...

Monk Daoyan, with greasy hands, continued to flip through the arithmetic book.

However, just as his hand was about to touch the arithmetic book, he stopped.

He went outside to fetch some water, washed his hands thoroughly, then returned to the meditation room, sat there, lit a lamp, and continued to look at the arithmetic numbers.

Unconsciously, I became addicted...

It was not until the next morning that Daoyan lay down.

In my mind, many numbers and corresponding arithmetic problems are constantly flying around.

Now, he is really convinced.

These arithmetic books deserve Mr. Qingtian’s praise!

This book is indeed wonderful.

At the beginning, it is indeed very simple, but it becomes more and more profound as time goes on.

A gradual process is highlighted.

At the same time, some doubts arose in his mind.

This is such an exquisite book, which is very suitable for teaching students. Was it really written by Mr. Qingtian’s grandson-in-law?
The more he thought about it, the more impossible it seemed.

Because there are a lot of things involved in it, and it is written too perfectly.

There is a lot of knowledge that he already knew but has not been clearly summarized, and it is all included in it.

The summary is also very clear.

Knowledge is something that best highlights a person's ability.

Before this, there was no news about Mei Yin's reputation in academics.

The one who knows the most is Mei Yin, who was lucky enough to marry the princess and made some death-defying remonstrations.

Important crops such as sweet potatoes were also discovered unexpectedly.

There are also some clever tricks.

As for this subject, there is nothing famous about it.

So after some thought, he soon formed his own opinion.

I feel that Mr. Qingtian’s great help is definitely indispensable in this.

Mei Yin is not very knowledgeable, but Mr. Qingtian is different.

Mr. Qingtian, you are truly a man of great learning, and you have dabbled in many things.

I also know a lot of people.

If Mr. Qingtian helps and works hard, this book can be completed.

As for why Mr. Qingtian did this, it was still the same as he had thought before.

It's nothing more than considering Mei Yin as the future supporter of their Liu family.

So Mr. Qingtian is ready to give it a push.

Let him and his grandson-in-law become completely famous.

If something really happens in the future, I can also protect their family...

As for why he chose Mei Yin, his grandson-in-law, instead of his son.

This... If his son could be trusted, why would Mr. Qingtian go to so much trouble to make his own granddaughter a concubine for Mei Yin?

In addition to his ordinary identity, Mei Yin also has a special identity.

He is the emperor's son-in-law.

With this kind of relationship in place, I can make good friends with Mei Yin on his side.

Then in the future, even if others pass away, their Liu family will still have a backer.

It won't become extremely miserable...

In a short period of time, Daoyan had thought all of this through.

I can't help but sigh about this.

Mr. Qingtian is getting old after all, and he has started to think about his affairs after death, but this is also human nature...

After lying here and thinking about a lot of things for a while, Daoyan didn't want to sleep anymore.

He quickly packed up his things, left the Buddhist temple and headed for the capital.

Before, he thought that Liu Bowen was very hasty in inviting him, a monk, to teach.

But at this time, I felt that Liu Bowen was really good at judging people.

Anyway, at this time, Emperor Hongwu was still in existence, so even if he wanted to find someone to rebel, he couldn't.

Since this is the case, we might as well focus some of our energy on this first.

In this way, it is also closer to the capital.

In the past year or so, it has been very lively there and a lot of things have happened.

He also wanted to get a closer look at the atmosphere in the capital...

Of course, there is another reason besides this.

He had already found out through some means that the Crown Prince and some princes liked to go to Mei Yin when they had nothing to do.

If I go there now, I will definitely have the opportunity to meet the prince and some princes of the Ming Dynasty in the future.

In fact, for him, it doesn’t matter whether he can meet the prince or not.

What he wanted to meet most were actually the princes of the Ming Dynasty.

After all, the prince is supposed to inherit the throne in a proper way, which is very boring.

The prince is different.

Among the Qin kings, perhaps there will be people who are unwilling to be lonely and want to touch the throne!

I might as well come here first, get acquainted with them, and then see which prince is suitable for rebellion.

When the time is right in the future, we can guide them step by step in this direction.

By then, with my own abilities, I will surely be able to make a splash!
Show what you have learned.

Find a new emperor and change the Ming Dynasty.

Daoyan was very sure about this.

When Zhu Yuanzhang was alive, the situation would not change much.

But as soon as Zhu Yuanzhang died, he could take advantage of the situation and stir up trouble.

The reason is simple: Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang's practice of enfeoffing his sons as princes and letting many of them take power in local areas and become princes with real power was too outstanding.

The Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, the Rebellion of the Eight Kings...

The dispute between Yang Yong and Yang Guang, the Xuanwu Gate Incident...

Many things are happening.

Zhu Yuanzhang has now done this again, the chaos in the Ming Dynasty is inevitable!
As long as Zhu Yuanzhang dies, many things will get out of control.

The Ming Dynasty will inevitably be plunged into war again.

Then, it will be his chance.

As for the fact that from ancient times to the present, there has never been a successful rebellion by a vassal king...

Daoyan held a Zen stick in one hand and a broken bowl in the other, with a kind smile on his chubby face.

But at this moment, there was some light flickering in those triangular eyes, and they opened and closed like the pupils of a sick tiger.

Revealing a terrifying momentum and extremely strong confidence!
Daoyan came here just to break this thing!
If he cannot break it, how can his knowledge be demonstrated?

This trip to the capital is bound to be turbulent!
Of course, in addition to these, he also had another idea, which was to take a good look at Mei Yin, the grandson-in-law of Mr. Qingtian.

See how talented he is in arithmetic and above.

At that time, I only need to weigh it briefly to see that he must have cheated on the teaching materials! (End of this chapter)
