Chapter 1268 - Trying to Capture the Past (Page 1/1)

Sun Ce was chatting with Xu Yue, and Kan Ze and Zhao Ying sat together.

Xu Yue has no worries about food and clothing, devotes himself to researching knowledge, and lives a comfortable life. After having Yan Jian and Kan Ze, he was even happier, and he usually studied arithmetic, chatted with them in his spare time, exchanged ideas, and discussed directions. Yan Jian wrote "The Theory of Tides", but his main interest before was not in these miscellaneous studies, but Confucianism, and it was a bit reluctant to discuss problems with a master of arithmetic like Xu Yue, but he was young and willing to work hard, and he was still qualified to be an assistant. Kan Ze's arithmetic foundation is stronger than Yan Ji, but he can talk to Xu Yue very well, and he is also a teacher and friend. Although Zhao Ying was young, he was quite talented, and Xu Yue attached great importance to him, accepted him as a disciple, and taught him everything.

After Zhuge Liang came, he chatted with Xu Yue twice, and his cleverness shocked Xu Yue, and Xu Yue also wanted to take Zhuge Liang into his door, but unfortunately Zhuge Liang refused.

"General, this son is very smart, he can draw inferences from one another, if he learns now, his future achievements will definitely be above me. It's just that he lost his childhood, his brother traveled far away, and there were only two sisters at home to take care of him, so he couldn't help but be anxious. If the general promises his future, takes him to the peace, and learns from me for several years, he will definitely be able to come out of the blue and be better than the blue. The general doesn't have to worry about money and food, my family of five can't eat enough food to feed his four sisters and brothers. Two years later, his two sisters got married, and they were just two brothers......"

Looking at the bitter Xu Yue, Sun Ce didn't know how to explain it to him. Although he had not yet met Zhuge Liang, he guessed that Zhuge Liang's refusal of Xu Yue's invitation was not because of life problems, but because of ambition. He told Ji that in order to cultivate the way of the world, his goal was not to be a scholar who sought knowledge, but a minister who ruled over a hundred officials and ruled over all the people.

"Master, I really can't promise you this, it's not that I'm reluctant to do it, but everyone has their own ambitions and can't force it. Kong Ming is talented, but he is not a person who is willing to do learning in the study. Teenagers, they always like to dream, go out and go into the phase, govern the country and level the world, you know. ”

"I understand, I understand." Xu Yue laughed and said: "Learning and excellence is a master, I also thought about it when I was young, but there was no way to repay, and then I was favored by Master Liu, and led me into the door of arithmetic, I originally wanted to wait for him to save, and I could also be a small official in the Taishi Department, but I never went to ......" Thinking of the life of the ancestor Liu Hong, Xu Yue sighed and looked gloomy. "If he could live a few more years and meet the general, maybe he would have achieved more."

"The best way to remember him is to sort out his academic achievements and pass them on to future generations. A hundred years later, no one may remember what official he was, but there will definitely be people who remember his Qiyao technique and his plus and minus number abacus. Sun Ce turned his head to look at Kan Ze and Zhao Ying. You have such a famous teacher's teaching, and you have the academic foundation left by Liu Huiji, you must devote yourself to learning and make greater achievements in order to live up to the time. ”

Kan Ze and Zhao Ying bowed and saluted. "As a general's order."

Sun Ce knew Kan Ze, but he also knew Zhao Ying, who would later change his name to Zhao Shuang, and was the first mathematician in Chinese history to prove the Pythagorean theorem. Chinese have long known the phenomenon of hooking three strands and four strings and five, but really take this as a theorem and prove it mathematically, Zhao Shuang is the first person. It is a pity that contemporary people do not realize the significance of this step, nor do they follow this path, and the proof of the Pythagorean theorem does not introduce Chinese mathematics into the realm of mathematical logic, but only as a practical technology.

He came into this world, of course, not to waste such an opportunity. He didn't know what kind of achievements Kan Ze could achieve, but Zhao Shuang was enough to inherit Xu Yue's mantle and raise Huaxia mathematics to a higher level. With such a mathematical genius, Zhuge Liang doesn't need it, let's let him go into politics. The last time Zhang Zhongjing came to Pingyu to prevent the epidemic, he said that there was a doctor Hu in Nanyang Materia Medica, who was familiar with mathematics in the Western Regions, and he had promised to go back and let him translate the mathematical works of the Western Regions for Xu Yue and others' reference.

The so-called mathematics of the Western Regions is mostly a remnant of Greek mathematics. The Greeks had been dead for many years, and the Romans, like the Han Chinese, were pragmatic and not interested in the pure scholarship of the Greeks, but there were still many remnants of Hellenistic Central Asia. Sun Ce did not think that the Greek civilization was superior to the Chinese civilization, but taking the initiative to attract foreign academic nutrients would undoubtedly play a good role in promoting the intellectuals of the Central Plains, at least let them know that there was another academic model.

As he was talking, Xu Shu came in and said that Yan Jian and Zhuge Liang were back.

Sun Ce was very happy and immediately asked Xu Shu to invite them to meet. After a while, Yan Jian came first. He and Sun Ce have met many times, they are already familiar with it, and they are not restrained, they stepped forward to salute, took the couch by themselves, and sat with Kan Ze and Zhao Ying. Zhuge Liang never appeared, Xu Shu said that he went back to the house to put down his things, but after waiting for a full meal, Zhuge Liang did not appear.

Xu Yue was a little unhappy and muttered a few words. Seeing this, Yan Jian said hello and prepared to get up to take a look. Sun Ce waved his hand, stopped Yan Ji, and laughed softly: "It is estimated that he has something to delay, there is no need to worry, and it is not a big deal." I also have a lot of things to do, and I can't stay long. Anyway, there will be a gathering on New Year's Day, not worse than these two days. Master Xu, Mancai, Derun, and you, Ah Ying, I will invite you together, no more trouble, and you will go together when the time comes. ”

Xu Yue nodded again and again, promising to arrive on time. Sun Ce got up to say goodbye, and Yan Jian took the initiative to send off the guests. He sent Sun Ce to the door and said with a forced smile: "It's still Kong Ming who has the foresight to say that the general must have been busy in the past two days, so he hasn't asked to see him." ”

Sun Ce was about to go to the workshop office, but when he heard this, he stopped again. "What else did Kong Ming say?"

Yan Jian seized the opportunity and said what Zhuge Liang had just said. Sun Ce pondered for a moment. "You tell Kong Ming that he can go to me anywhere. If he is willing to stay in Pingyu, I am always welcome. If he still wants to travel for a few years, it doesn't matter, he can settle down in Pingyu first. Langya will not be peaceful in the past two years, and his sister and younger brother are not safe at home, so let's move to Pingyu together. ”

"Wow. I'll tell you the truth. Yan Jian was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly bowed down to thank him. He watched Sun Ce leave, until he couldn't see the backs of Sun Ce and the others, then he turned around happily and went straight to the side courtyard where he and Zhuge Liang lived. As soon as he entered the door, Zhuge Liang stood in the courtyard, dressed in new clothes, his hair was combed again, his face was washed clean, and some thin powder was put on. Seeing Yan Jian coming in, he dusted off his clothes and walked out of the door.

"Why are you going?" Yan Jian grabbed him.

Zhuge Liang was surprised. "Didn't General Sun ask you to summon me?"

Yan Jian smiled. "You guessed it, General Sun is very busy today, and he is already gone."

"Uh......" Zhuge Liang's face flushed slightly, revealing a hint of embarrassment. He had made so many preparations, and he had been thinking about what to say when he met Sun Ce, but he didn't expect Sun Ce to leave, and he was very disappointed.

Yan Jian saw it in his eyes and couldn't help laughing. He told Zhuge Liang exactly what Sun Ce had just said. Zhuge Liang listened, pondered for a moment, turned around and went back to the house to change into new clothes, picked up the "Metaphysical Original", and walked towards Xu Yue's main courtyard.
