Mingshi

Chapter 1331 Questions
Zheng Ruozeng picked up an egg and said while eating, "Master Luo..."

"Don't call me an adult, we are brothers."

"Success!" Now that Zheng Ruozeng is not in the officialdom after resigning from office, he is much more free and easy: "No, you really compiled these two books?"

"Besides me, have you ever seen someone else edit it?" Luo Xin curled his lips and said, "It's not that I, Luo Xin, brag to myself. Nowadays, scholars in Ming Dynasty are all boasting, and there is no one as pragmatic as me. No one Shangguans are all devoted to studying the Four Books and Five Classics, taking the imperial examinations again and again. Those who have already become Shangguan have abandoned the Four Books and Five Classics, and only know how to make money. Do they still have the mind to study arithmetic?"

"Alas..." Zheng Ruozeng sighed, his face deeply agreeing, and at the same time, he admired Luo Xin even more:

"No, I didn't expect you to have such a level of research on mathematics, but I still don't believe it. You compiled two books in a few days. I'm afraid this is also the result of your years of research?"

Luo Xin nodded and said: "That's right, as you know, I've spent a lot of time at home all these years. I don't have much to do, so I study mathematics. The past few days are just sorting out the results of years of research and compiling them into a book That's all."

"Is there any follow-up?" Zheng Ruozeng asked expectantly.

"Yes!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "I'm going to compile six volumes first."

"The first two volumes of yours can already be called classics in mathematics. I think we can promote these two books before Sharon and the others translate that logic book."

Luo Xin was thinking silently, and Zheng Ruozeng continued to persuade: "No, reputation is very important to open a college. No, you are already a master of a generation in Shilin, and "The Combination of Confucius and Mencius" has established your status. No one dares to Doubt, even Xu Jie, who is against you, can’t. "Yanglin Baipian" and "Yanglin Poetry Collection" have established your status as a generation of talented scholars. If you promote these two volumes of mathematics, you will definitely be able to lay a solid foundation. You have the status of a master of science. In this way, when you open a college, your influence will be incomparable."

"Our academy is not for scientific examinations, nor is it to recruit those scholars. You know, without the purpose of scientific examinations, those scholars would not be able to enter our academy. What our academy is facing is Those poor children, my reputation is not big, what's the use? And..."

Luo Xin hesitated and didn't speak, but Zheng Ruozeng said with a smile: "Are you afraid that His Majesty will be afraid of you?"

Seeing Luo Xin's stunned expression, Zheng Ruozeng smiled and said: "Through your experience these years, anyone with a heart can see that His Majesty is afraid of you, who made you so great! If you can't see that His Majesty is afraid of you, Xu Jie wouldn't do this to you so blatantly."

Luo Xin nodded. It is not surprising that Luo Xin can see that Emperor Jiajing feared him. There are many smart people in this world, especially those who have conflicts of interest with you, and they will care more about you.However, Luo Xin did not expect that Zheng Ruozeng, a small sesame official far away in Nanjing, would also pay attention to him.

"It seems that Zheng Ruozeng is really a great talent. I have found a treasure."

"You are afraid to open a college in your name and make His Majesty fear you. After all, in that case, maybe a few years later, you will be full of peaches and plums. With your reputation, this is not impossible. You are on the side of the generals group. The reputation is so great that it is almost a myth, which is enough to make His Majesty afraid. If you are full of peaches and plums in the civil service system, as long as you are an emperor, you will be afraid of you."

Hearing this, Luo Xin couldn't help nodding with a wry smile.

"However, according to my observations, His Majesty is no longer so afraid of you. This is also the result of you keeping a low profile and walking on thin ice."

"Yes!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "That's why I don't want to open the academy in my name, but in your name."

"No!" Zheng Ruozeng shook his head and said, "The college we opened is not for scientific research, so His Majesty will not be afraid of you. From His Majesty's point of view, you are just looking for a way for the poor people.

However, opening an academy is not just about teaching students, it will have problems in various aspects, with the government, with scholars, with gentry, and so on.With your signboard, all problems will be solved. "

Luo Xin thought for a while and said, "Okay, then the first thing you do when you take office is to promote this business."

"no problem!"

Zheng Ruozeng's eyes were burning, he knew that Luo Xin's entrusting this matter to him was a test for his appointment.If he can complete the task perfectly, Luo Xin will give himself more rights in the future.If he does not do well, Luo Xin will continue to look for more suitable people.

"Then I will go back to Suzhou today."

"Go and get busy with your business. I will promote these two books first, and at the same time spread your reputation. The main purpose is to let people remember that you are a great Confucian, a great talent, and a generation of arithmetic masters, waiting for your reputation. Climb another high point, and our academy will be born."

"Hype!"

"what?"

"It's nothing."

Luo Xin left Hangzhou and became a shopkeeper again.After returning to Suzhou, he began to deal with various government affairs, read the secret letters sent by Hu Zongxian, and wrote letters to Emperor Jiajing.

But he was not idle for long, and two things kept him busy.

The first thing is that Hu Zongxian encountered a problem, the suppression of the bandits has basically won, and only Zhang Daoyuan and the leader of the White Lotus Sect are left to be captured.The problem also lies in Hu Zongxian's big victory, which forced Zhang Daoyuan and the Bailian sect to retreat to the deep mountains and old forests, which made it very difficult for Hu Zongxian to suppress the bandits.

Moreover, after Zhang Daoyuan and the White Lotus Sect retreated into the deep mountains and old forests, they were like ducks in water. They attacked the imperial army with a small group, but caused the army to be devastated. They could not find the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan, but lost a lot.

The remaining small groups of Zhang Daoyuan's rebels and Bailian sect followers are not a big deal. If this is the case, Hu Zongxian can win and return the court.But he failed to capture Zhang Daoyuan and the leader of the White Lotus Sect, which made Hu Zongxian only able to continue searching in the deep mountains and old forests.

Moreover, Hu Zongxian was worried that the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan would send people to the rear of the army. You must know that the deep mountains and old forests are so vast that they cannot be blocked at all, so there is no way to know how many people sneaked out.

Who knows if Zhang Daoyuan and the White Lotus Sect have hidden sons in various state capitals?
Once these secrets burn, kill, loot, and prevent fires in the southern state capitals, they will cause great panic and accidents. Therefore, Luo Xin, the southern manager, cannot escape the responsibility. This black hat is taken off. deal.
