"A twelve-year-old boy..."

Li Longji was speechless and wanted to stare at Ye Chang, scolding him for bragging about lying and not making drafts.

The problem raised by the Imperial College assistant teaching staff can be easily solved by a twelve-year-old boy in Lushun Academy. Isn’t this saying that the assistant teaching staff of the highest institution of Tang Dynasty is not as good as a naughty boy in Lushun?

But Li Longji knew in his heart that Ye Chang's words... were probably not fake. Ye Chang has always been difficult to brag about such things.

Moreover, the example of how Ye Chang mentioned about Ding cutting a cow that he was suddenly aware of.

Why did Ye Chang do so many big things after he was born eleven years ago? From the initial water diversion of Hongqu to the great defeat of Dashi in the west of Pamir Mountain this year, he once said a meaningful sentence when summarizing these achievements.

He was able to achieve this result because he was closer to "Tao" than ordinary people.

Everything contains the great way. If you can understand the great way, you can borrow the power of everything.

Li Longji couldn't help but think deeply for a moment, and at this moment, the situation changed during the trial. Yang Fan solved the second question, and then Yue Xi solved the third question.

Qu Tanxun's eyes were red at this time, and he couldn't believe what he saw.

In addition to the first question, it seems to him to be a simpler question, and the second and third questions are all difficult questions that require some brains. The third question is Han Xin's military question, which comes from "Sun Tzu Calculation Sutra", which is unknown, but it is much more difficult than the examples given in "Sun Tzu Calculation Sutra". The method to solve this question is the common congruent solution used in the calculation of the astronomical calendar.

"How is this possible... Oh, yes, yes, Ye Chang elevates the monk and his rank, and Zhang Xiu, the nephew of Yixing, is under his command. The math of these young men is Professor Zhang Xiu. They are disciples who pass on the line again, and it is inevitable that they can solve these problems. But... how do they calculate so quickly?"

Although Qu Tanxun was anxious, he was not yet at the point of chaos.

The first three questions are just troublesome, but they cannot be considered difficult questions. The real problems are still behind. Thinking of this, he calmed down a little, then sat down, and as soon as he sat down, he heard someone among the students here shouting: "It's done."

They finally solved the first question and after they sent the answer to the little official, Qu Tanxun breathed a sigh of relief.

The first question is solved... the second question should not be too difficult, right?

The result disappointed Qu Tanxun. The second question was a question of finding area for irregular fields. The key was that this field involves polygons such as fan shapes, triangles, diamonds, trapezoids, etc., and needs to be cut and repaired - that is, several auxiliary lines are needed. Although the shape of the field in the question was drawn, everyone could not help but be stunned. After a while, Qu Tanxun said angrily: "How can there be such a field in this world? It is obviously difficult to do so.

The students from all over the country looked at each other. The questions they gave to each other were actually difficult questions, but who knew that the other party could answer them so easily?

"Do it quickly, do it quickly, pick up the easy ones to do it first." Qu Tanxun also knew that anger would not work, so he began to examine the question immediately.

Among the people around, some people couldn't help but start to whisper, but the officers were pressing against each other and they calmed down again.

This quietness made me hear the crisp sounds of Lushun Academy. It turned out that Yue Xi was starting to use the abacus. After a while, Yang Fan and Cai Chenguo also grabbed the abacus and started calculating.

"This sound is crisp, but that thing is really useful?" someone asked in a low voice.

"Originally available, don't forget that thing must have been invented by Ye Zhongcheng. What are the objects invented by Ye Zhongcheng over the years? Coal stove, kang, ground well, four-wheeled carriage, rut tracks. According to me, Ye Zhongcheng's talent and cleverness are no less than that of Luban Kongming."

The people now have some blind trust in Ye Chang. Lu Yu, who was crowded in the crowd, nodded slightly: In fact, there are more than these, Ye Chang has many very important inventions, but most people don’t know it.

In recent years, he has traveled around and wanted to find 36 famous springs in the world to make tea. In Chang'an and Luoyang, he saw textile workshops driven by water. These workshops were originally the first to be founded by Ye Chang, but now they have been learned by many people. Although their efficiency is not comparable to that of Liaodong, the scale is getting bigger and bigger.

This also led to an increase in cotton planting area in the Central Plains, and grain prices slowly rose. However, cotton prices were suppressed by these powerful people who controlled the textile workshops. Many tenant farmers had to give up renting and instead work in the workshops.

Lu Yu vaguely felt that Ye Chang seemed to be promoting this process intentionally or unintentionally, and his construction of roads, dredging waterways, and handling postal services were all alleviating the problems arising from this process. But Ye Chang was only his own strength, and the world was still the world of Li Tang. His kindness could only take care of what he could see.

The Jianghuai River and even the south of the Yangtze River are not within Ye Chang's power, and the situation there is very unoptimistic. Ye Chang transports large quantities of the Jianghuai grain to the Central Plains through waterways and tracks to alleviate the grain pressure in Guanzhong. However, in this way, the grain prices in Jianghuai rise, and when the green and yellow are not connected, they even feed on vegetables.

If this situation continues, there may be unexpected situations.

Although Lu Yu was young and had little knowledge, he also had this kind of emotion. How could local officials in various places not know? But today, I am so happy to be successful, love to listen to whitewashing words, arrogant, extravagant and delusional, and hate to see people who are indifferent to their own opinions. Who would be dissatisfied with their future? Use this to discourage the emperor's interest.

Just thinking about his own thoughts, Lu Yu heard everyone around him shouting: "Oh, so fast."

As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Yue Xi handing over the answer to another question, looking at his expression, he felt very relaxed.

Correspondingly, the Imperial College School had their faces alternated with blue and white, which seemed extremely stressful.

"There are four questions... The Lushun Academy has done the four questions in a blink of an eye. How long has it been, I don't know if there is any for a quarter of an hour?" Someone looked at the dripping copper pot on the side and exclaimed in shock: "It's just about a quarter of an hour."

There were ten questions in total, and four questions were eliminated in a quarter of an hour. Regardless of right or wrong, the speed of just talking was really surprising.

"Why is this happening? Could it be that the Imperial College is interested in letting the money out, and all the questions are easy to ask?"

"I have heard of someone who controls the gambling market and intends to bet on the test of the victory or defeat..."

"Don't talk nonsense. This major examination involves the title of the Imperial College of Computing and even a doctorate in the Corporate Learning School. How can students let go of their future?" Someone sneered in a reasonable manner: "You don't think about it. Those students in the Corporate Learning School have to rely on their math skills to serve as official positions. If they lose, wouldn't they say that they are not as good as the disciples taught by Ye Zhongcheng's private school?"

"Then why did Lushun Academy do so easily?"

"Do you understand the gap in strength and strength? If you are a doctor in the School of Mathematics, students are far from the mathematics skills of Lushun Academy, how can the questions they have asked be difficult?"

"The gap...is that big?" After hearing this, everyone around exclaimed.

Li Longji also felt a little embarrassed in the city. From the current perspective, the calculation level between the Imperial College and the Lushun Academy is really very different.

"Ye Chang, it seems that your confidence is not without reason." He glanced at Ye Chang with a slant.

"What is your Majesty's referring to?"

"Absolute advantage, so it seems that you can win in about two quarters of an hour."

"The sages don't know that Lushun Academy teaches mathematics based on the Zhou Li method, which is naturally different from the mathematics museum."

"The method of Zhou Li?" Li Longji thought of Ye Chang's memorial and shook his head with a smile: "What you said about Zhou Li is just six arts."

"That is, in "The Li Bao of Zhou", "Healing the Imperial College to Taoism, he taught the six arts. One is the five rituals, the second is the six music, the third is the five slash, the fourth is the five shaking, the fifth is the sixth shaking, and the sixth is the nine numbers. Although the rankings are in sequence, they are important but have no priority. As far as I know, the Imperial College is called the Vision Academy, but in fact it is mainly based on poetry, books and articles. Mathematics is only the auxiliary, and in its teaching and study, there is no ten. However, in Lushun, mathematics and calligraphy art, rituals and music are the same as those of the academy, and they attach great importance to urination. There is this difference, so this result is."

Li Longji nodded slightly, and he glanced at Ye Chang: "Why do you attach so much importance to mathematics?"

"I think that all the great ways in the world cannot be separated from the foundation of calculation and learning." Ye Chang paused gently: "Repair cities, dig rivers, collect calculation and levies, support military rations; planting in spring, harvesting in summer, storing in autumn and storing in winter, fishing and hunting vendors, and all labours are prosperous. Without calculation and learning, you will be in chaos."

Speaking of this, Ye Chang looked at Yang Zhao and Wang. In order to compete for favor in front of Li Longji, the two of them plundered the people as financial management methods, forcing the people to be poor, and greatly affected the market of industrial products in Liaodong. How could Ye Chang know about such stupid people? He felt that this time was an opportunity, so he said again: "I will say it bluntly that if there were people who were proficient in mathology in the hands of Yang Guang of the previous dynasty, who could trust and use it, I would like to come to the battle of the canal and the Liaodong battle, which would not cause resentment in the world, death and the country would be destroyed."

Li Longji was stunned. Ye Chang commented on the king of the previous dynasty, especially in front of him, which was rare. Moreover, there were words in Ye Chang's words, which seemed to have a deep meaning. He was now in this year and could not react to some things for a while.

"I'm so arrogant. Although you are very good at Lushun Academy, you can't improve the effectiveness of math in this way." Yang Zhao coughed, and then retorted.

As soon as he said this, Li Longji reacted: So that's it

Ye Chang was criticizing this tactfully. Nowadays, Jinshi takes scholars, and emphasizes articles, poetry and fu and neglects of mathematics. If according to Ye Chang's meaning, the math is raised to a level corresponding to articles, poetry and fu, wouldn't it mean that a large number of students will be elected from Lushun Academy every year? These people are in the officialdom and are incompatible with Ye Chang and form a large force, which will inevitably become the confidant of the priest.

Yang Zhao obviously understood this, so although he tried his best to avoid head-on conflicts with Ye Chang, he couldn't help but stand up at this time.

Ye Chang smiled and said, "Emperor Yang of Sui was digging a canal, and he started to work hard, conquering Liaodong, and gathering unlimitedly. If someone first calculates the country's financial resources, the limit of manpower can support it, and then calculates the river. The financial resources consumed by conquest are extremely human. Compared with the two, although Emperor Yang of Sui was cruel, how could he not know that these two should not be carried out in a hurry?"

"you……"

"Okay, don't fight." Li Longji said lightly, interrupting Yang Zhao's words.

It is better not to argue with Ye Chang when it comes to arithmetic matters. However, he did not want Yang Zhao to argue with Ye Chang, but he could not stop Ye Chang from confronting Yang Zhao.

Ye Chang was not a person who could easily stop the battle. His purpose was not that simple.

"The court's taxes are three times that of Jin Gong when he was prime minister. I am a little surprised. Now that the household registration is not three times that of that time, the land acre has not been three times that of that time, the industry has not been three times that of that time, and the annual tax on the treasury is three times that of that time. I don't know that the Ministry of Revenue is not good at studying or other reasons, and the sages need to be carefully examined."

"This" Yang Zhao took a breath, as if it was a toothache. Ye Chang's attack was really unbearable. Everyone on the city wall looked at him, waiting for his response.

After taking a breath, Yang Zhao said: "Ye Zhongcheng will not talk about this matter, but I will also apologize to the saints. As the Minister of Revenue, I have indeed had a history of increasing taxes without knowing the people's strength, which is a risk of fishing for exhausting the lake."

Everyone was stunned. Yang Zhao actually admitted this mistake.

What's going on? Acknowledging this fault is a big setback for Yang Zhao. The situation just now has not reached this point. What is Yang Zhao's plan?

Everyone looked at Ye Chang again and found Ye Chang calm and without any surprises. Then they heard Yang Zhao say: "However, there are three main things that I have calculated for the increase in this tax. One is the tax of Andong, two major chambers of commerce in Yunnan and Andong Bank. The second is the commercial tax of the capital city, the eastern capital is Chenliu and other important towns. The third is the tax of the capital capital. I am so stupid. The second is the tax of the capital. I have all the numbers. Only the tax of the capital capital is several times higher than before after the sages cut taxes year by year. It is not known to me."

Wang was watching coldly, watching Ye Chang and Yang Zhao fight to death, but after hearing what Yang Zhao said, his face changed, and he was waiting for a response after leaving the class. But at this moment, Ye Chang followed Yang Zhao's topic and said it.

"I know this. It is said that the sage is kind and exempted the people from the people's resident service. However, the interviewee of the Jingji asked the people to pay the transfer fee, and the freight fee collected several times better than the people's resident service. When I was in Anxi, I heard that the court used the old rules that the soldiers guarding the border should be exempted from the people's resident service. They were rotated for six years. However, when I was in Anxi, I found that Gao Xianzhi had lost his troops many times, but I was ashamed to tell the court that the name of the soldiers who died in the battle was still above the household registration. The interviewee of the Jingji actually used these people who sacrificed their lives for the country as fugitives and charged their family's resident service. Once, they collected them for thirty years.

Ye Chang was speaking slowly and his voice was not loud, but when he heard it, it seemed like a bolt from the blue. Even Li Longji stared at him, and his eyes moved around Ye Chang and Yang Zhao.

These two people are clearly singing and reconciling, and the point of their spear is the king

The court officials originally thought that Ye Chang and Yang Zhao were incompatible. The two sides used these competitions to attack each other, but they never thought that the two men had regained their tacit understanding again. Their real target of attack was actually Wang.
