Chapter 1336 Question
Zheng Ruozeng picked up an egg and said while eating it: "Mr. Luo..."
"You don't call me Master, we brothers are right."
"Finish!" Now that Zheng Ruozeng resigned from his post, he was no longer in the officialdom, and he became much more free and easy: "No, are these two books really compiled by you?"
"Besides me, have you seen others compiled it?" Luo Xin curled his lips and said, "It was not that I, Luo Xin, who brag for myself. Nowadays, scholars in the Ming Dynasty are all talking big and not as pragmatic as me. Those who have not become Shangguan are all focused on studying the Four Books and Five Classics, and have been in the imperial examinations. Those who have become Shangguan have even left the Four Books and Five Classics, and only know how to do things. Do they still have the intention to study mathematics?"
"Oh..." Zheng Ruozeng sighed, with deep agreement, 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 the result of your years of research, right?"
Luo Xin nodded and said, "Yes, you know, I have been at home for a while and have no things to do, so I studied mathematics. These days I have just sorted out the results of the years of research and compiled them into a book."
"Is there any future?" Zheng Ruozeng asked expectantly.
"Yes!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "I'm going to compile six volumes first."
"Your first two volumes can be called classics in mathematics. I think we can promote these two books before Sharon and others translated that logic."
Luo Xin thought silently, and Zheng Ruozeng continued to persuade: "If you don't have a talent, it's very important to open a college. If you don't have a talent, you are already a master in Shilin. "The Combination of Confucius and Mencius" has established your status. No one dares to question it, even if you don't deal with Xu Jie, you can't. "Hundred Psalms of Yanglin" and "Yanglin Poetry Collection" have established your status as a talented man. If you are promoting these two volumes of mathematics, you will definitely establish your status as a master of mathematics. In this way, when you start a college, your influence will be incomparable."
"Our academy is not for scientific examinations, nor for recruiting those Shilin children. You also know that without the purpose of scientific examinations, those Shilin children will not be able to enter our academy. Our academy is facing those poor children. Is my reputation very much? What's the role? And..."
Luo Xin hesitated and did not speak, but Zheng Ruozeng smiled and said, "Are you afraid that Your Majesty will be afraid of you?"
Seeing Luo Xin's expression was stunned, Zheng Ruozeng smiled and said, "Anyone who is interested can see that Your Majesty is afraid of you. Who made you more capable than the Lord! If you hadn't seen Your Majesty fearing you, Xu Jie wouldn't be so blatant to you."
Luo Xin nodded. It was nothing strange for those who were interested to see that Emperor Jiajing was afraid of him. Luo Xin was not surprised. There were many smart people in this world, especially those who had conflicts of interest with you, who would care more about you. However, Luo Xin did not expect that Zheng Ruo, a sesame official far away in Nanjing, would also pay attention to him.
"It seems that Zheng Ruozeng is really a talented person. I have found a treasure."
"You are afraid of opening a college in your name and making Your Majesty afraid of you. After all, in that case, maybe in a few years, you will be full of talents all over the world. With your reputation, it is not impossible. You are already famous in the military group and are almost mythical, which is enough to make Your Majesty afraid of you. If you are a civil servant system, as long as you are an emperor, you will be afraid of you."
Luo Xin heard this and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"But, now according to my observation, Your Majesty is no longer so afraid of you. This is also the result of your hidden secrets and walking on thin ice."
"Yes!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "That's why I don't want to start a college in my name, I want to start a college in your name."
"No!" Zheng Ruozeng shook his head and said, "The college we run is not for the purpose of scientific examinations, so Your Majesty will not be afraid of you. In Your Majesty's opinion, you are finding a way for the poor people.
However, opening a college is not just about teaching students. There will be problems in all aspects, including government officials, stern officials, gentry, etc. With your signature, all problems will be solved."
Luo Xin thought for a while and said, "Okay, then the first thing you did when you took office was to promote this calculation."
"no problem!"
Zheng Ruozeng's eyes were bright. He knew that Luo Xin gave him this matter completely, which was an assessment of his taking office. If he could complete the task perfectly, Luo Xin would hand over more rights to himself in the future. If he did not complete it well, Luo Xin would continue to look for a more suitable person.
"Then I'll go back to Suzhou today."
"You go and do your business. I will promote these two books first and spread your reputation, mainly to make people remember that you are a great scholar, a great talent, and a generation of math masters. When your reputation reaches a higher level, our academy will come into being."
“It’s hype!”
"What?"
"nothing."
Luo Xin left Hangzhou and became a hand-off manager. When he returned to Suzhou, he began to deal with various government affairs. He read the secret letters sent by Hu Zongxian and wrote letters to Emperor Jiajing.
But he didn't have time to relax, and two things made him busy.
The first thing was that Hu Zongxian encountered problems. The bandit suppression had basically won, and the only thing left was to capture Zhang Daoyuan and the leader of the White Lotus Sect. The problem was that Hu Zongxian had a great victory, forcing Zhang Daoyuan and the White Lotus Sect to retreat to the deep mountains and forests, which made Hu Zongxian's bandit suppression very difficult.
Moreover, after Zhang Daoyuan and the White Lotus Sect retreated into the deep mountains and forests, they were as if they were fish in water. They attacked the imperial army through small groups, which made the army very anxious. They could not find the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan, but instead suffered a lot of losses.
The remaining small groups of Zhang Daoyuan's thief and the White Lotus Sect's disciples were no big deal. If it were just like this, Hu Zongxian could win and go to the fore. However, he did not catch Zhang Daoyuan and the White Lotus Sect's leader, which made Hu Zongxian able to continue to search for the deep mountains and forests.
Moreover, Hu Zongxian was worried that the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan would send people to the rear of the army. They should know that the deep mountains and forests were very vast and could not be blocked at all, so it was impossible to know that a few people secretly came out.
Who knows if Zhang Daoyuan and the White Lotus Sect have hidden secrets in various prefectures?
Once these secrets burn, kill, loot, fire prevention, etc. in the southern prefectures, they will cause great panic and cause great accidents. In this way, Luo Xin, the southern ruler, is inseparable from the responsibility, and this black hat has been taken off.
