"It's just a "dictionary", and the master just gave up the Confucius Academy to Confucianism." After Kong Desheng left, Zu Mingjun quietly stood behind Li Fuzi and frowned.

Li Fuzi shook his head and said: "No, although the "Dictionary" is an excellent thing for children's enlightenment, it is extremely important for primary school, but it is not enough to make the old man give in so much? ”

"Why is that?" The ancestor was puzzled.

Li Fuzi asked rhetorically: "Let me ask you, do you think that the primary school we founded is only opened in a corner of Luoyang, Chang'an City, or will it be promoted to the whole world." ”

"Nature is the whole world!" Zu Mingjun did not hesitate to say, it was for this ideal that he did not hesitate to refuse the official position of the imperial court and stayed in the Confucius Academy.

Li Fuzi nodded with satisfaction and said: "You must know that although the momentum of a hundred schools of thought is beginning to appear, but the world is still the only one who respects Confucianism, this time the Confucian family's requirement is only that primary school education must be based on Confucianism, and it does not prohibit other hundred schools of thought, the old man thinks this is not too much." ”

Zu Mingjun couldn't help but froze, and looked at Li Fuzi in amazement.

"If Confucianism obstructs, the Confucius College and primary schools will be struggling, if with the help of Confucianism, the world will set up countless primary schools, benefiting countless children in the world, these primary schools in addition to learning the national language, but also compulsory arithmetic, this has no impact on the arithmetic line, but is an opportunity for the arithmetic lineage to flourish." Li Fuzi said.

Zu Mingjun naturally knew that what Li Fuzi said was very true, with the help of Confucianism, primary schools will definitely be able to open the Tang Dynasty everywhere, and when the time comes, the whole country will learn arithmetic, seeing that the opportunity for arithmetic to flourish has come, but Zu Mingjun is not happy at all.

"What about the Mo family? Even if the Mo family had a financial crisis last time, they still did not abandon the Master Academy, but we turned around and abandoned the Mo family. Zu Mingjun couldn't help but feel a little guilty, and felt a little shameless to face Merton.

Li Fuzi said calmly: "Although we rely on the help of the Mo family, but in addition to the Mo family's village, the Mo family has never taken the Confucius College and primary school under the Mo family, but let us develop independently, since we and the Mo family are not divided into priorities, then our move is not a betrayal of the Mo family, and I think this is also the end that the Mo family is happy to see, once the primary school is prosperous and the more talents in the world, the more beneficial it is for the Mo family, and there are a few people in the world who can enter the world, and there are so many people who study in the primary schools in the world, they will naturally be diverted to other hundred schools, The Mo family naturally benefited a lot. ”

"But!" Zu Mingjun naturally knows this truth, but psychologically he still can't pass this level.

Li Fuzi said categorically: "No, but Confucianism is the head of a hundred schools, and it is natural for Confucianism to lead primary education, and if there is no support from Confucianism, it will be difficult for us to promote primary education. ”

Zu Mingjun sighed helplessly, he naturally knew that primary schools would not be able to cross the level of Confucianism no matter what, but once Confucianism dominated primary schools, would there be a foothold for other hundred schools of thought in the future? ”

"Brother Zu is too worried! The Mohists never had the intention of competing with Confucianism for primary school. In the Mo Mansion, Morton said aloud to the apologetic Ancestor Mingjun.

"It's just that Brother Mo has strongly supported Confucius College for many years and donated so many primary schools, but now it has been usurped by Confucianism, and the younger brother really can't help it." Zu Mingjun said apologetically, Merton has a lot of help in arithmetic, but he has not been able to keep the Master Academy and primary school for the Mo family, and he is a little unable to face Merton in his heart.

Seeing this, Merton turned his mind and said meaningfully: "Brother Grandpa, you and I are both people of a hundred schools, some things can be said clearly, the world thinks that the competition between Confucianism and Mohist ideas is the same as fire and water, but I don't know that the future and Confucianism are not competing with Mohist, but arithmetic, as long as there is arithmetic in the primary school, Confucianism will definitely not be a monopoly." ”

Zu Mingjun suddenly raised his head, and said with an incredulous face: "Shall I wait for the arithmetic lineage?" ”

Merton nodded solemnly.

"Brother Mo is inevitably too much of an arithmetic lineage, arithmetic is just a hundred schools of thought, the reputation is not obvious, let alone classical theory, even the reputation of the ancestors is far from the sons of a hundred schools, how can it compete with Confucianism." Zu Mingjun said with a wry smile.

Merton shook his head and said: "Ancestor brother is too arrogant, although the reputation of arithmetic is not obvious, but it contains the best truth in the world, one is one, two is two, the number is the most real, it will never change, and the people of the world may not need the Mo family, but they must not know arithmetic, and even the Mo family's ink skills are based on arithmetic." ”

Ancestor Mingjun nodded proudly, as a lineage of arithmetic, he was naturally proud of the lineage of arithmetic.

"Even in Mo's view, the future of the hundred schools of thought will eventually be divided into two factions, one is led by Confucianism, with articles as the company, called 'Wen', and the other is based on arithmetic, with numbers as reason, to explore the eternal and unchanging truth contained in heaven and earth, Mo will call it 'Li', and the future dispute between the hundred schools of thought will definitely be a dispute between literature and science.

"A battle between the arts and sciences?"

Zu Mingjun couldn't help but feel excited in his heart, he never thought that the arithmetic line would have such a brilliant future, which was something he couldn't even think of.

"Confucianism, Legalism, historians, and even the Confucius Academy can be called the literary school, and the arithmetic lineage, the Mohist ink technique, the Taoist Waidan school, and the doctor, can all be called the Li school, and now the Mohist is in the limelight, attracting the attention of the world and hundreds of schools, and this is the time for the development of the arithmetic line." Merton looked at the ancestor on the side sincerely.

"Bright plank road, dark Chen Cang." Zu Mingjun's heart moved.

Now the Mo family takes the initiative in the Ming, and let the arithmetic in the dark, it can be said that it is a lot of sacrifice, the ancestor Mingjun is moved at the same time, but also feels a heavy responsibility, and at the same time can't help but feel a kind of glory, proud of his own doctrine.

"But can you count it as a scholar?" Zu Mingjun was a little unconfident and said, after all, the starting point of arithmetic is too low.

Merton said firmly: "Fighting, how many professions in the world need articles, and how many professions need arithmetic calculations, in the future, it must be the Li School that has the upper hand, and how can the world be governed by the articles of the flowers, and naturally countless sophisticated calculations and scheduling can make the world peaceful, and from then on, it is not surprising that the people of the Li School will enter the court as officials." ”

"Becoming an official in the court?" Zu Mingjun's heart was suddenly excited, he never thought that the line of arithmetic would go to a glory comparable to Confucianism, but under the analysis of Merton, he found that if it was really with the help of the Confucius Academy and compulsory education, so that the line of arithmetic could be popularized in the Tang Dynasty, this situation was not impossible to achieve.

"Thank you, Brother Mo!" Zu Mingjun was convinced, he came here with guilt today, but he didn't expect to get a brilliant future of arithmetic, an infinite brilliant future.

"The Mo family and arithmetic are in the same boat, and they are just in the same boat!" Merton said solemnly.

"Good! In the same boat! Jointly carry forward the school of science. Zu Mingjun suddenly got up and said proudly.

At this moment, a school of thought that gave future generations of non-math a headache but a love-hate dilemma was officially established.
