If there is any mistake that Daming has always made, then nine times out of ten people will think that it is due to paying too much attention to the splendid article and not realizing the role of scientific and technological development in social change.

As a person of later generations, Zhu Changluo clearly knows the direction of the future development of society, so he has always attached great importance to the cultivation of science and technology.

Even when he was a prince, there must be a math problem among the problems, and since entering the East Palace, Zhu Changluo has asked all the officials of the East Palace to practice counting, which is also the reason why he listed the calculations and objects separately in the edict on his accession to the throne.

But you must know that in today's season, counting and calculating things has always been a small way, if you want to find someone who can write articles in the court, you must grab a lot of them, but it is even more difficult to find someone who is proficient in mathematics and physics.

The only ones who can get their hands on it are the officials of Qin Tianjian, but Zhu Changluo knows in his heart that with the development of Qin Tianjian up to now, there are very few people who are really good at arithmetic, most of them are good at astrology, but for the development of mathematics and physics, even a self-made person like Xu Guangqi may not be useful.

Therefore, Zhu Changluo issued an edict to seek talents, and wanted to recruit private scholars and Confucians to teach in Beijing, because compared with the imperial court with a strong officialdom atmosphere, the folk atmosphere is relatively tolerant.

Of course, this is also inseparable from the development of the commodity economy during the Wanli period, it is precisely because of the increasing number of businessmen that more and more people will begin to study mathematics, after all, the most basic function of mathematics is a trading tool.

And if he remembers correctly, in the thirtieth year of Wanli, there was still a master of mathematics in the folk world still alive......

"Have you ever heard of the name Cheng Dawei?"

Glancing at Fang Congzhe, whose forehead was full of sweat, Zhu Changluo didn't blame him too much.

After all, it is a small road at this time, and not everyone has a forward-looking vision, not to mention that the court was really turbulent in the previous period, and it is understandable that he did not take this matter to heart.

"This ......"

However, when they heard this name, the ministers present all looked at each other, a little confused, and even Sun Tianguan, who had the resumes of hundreds of officials in the court in his chest, was also confused, and couldn't remember what kind of official and what position this person who was emphasized by the Son of Heaven was.

Only the last Ye Xianggao frowned slightly, and said with some uncertainty.

"What Your Majesty said, but Mr. Cheng Rusi, who is the author of the Algorithm Sect?"

"Yes, it is the compiler of the Algorithm Sect, Mr. Ye knows this person?"

Zhu Changluo's eyes lit up, and he nodded.

If he remembers correctly, although the history of the development of mathematics in ancient China is very tortuous, it is still moving forward, and a new star of mathematics appears almost every two or three hundred years, and if you want to explain the most famous mathematician of the dynasty, it is none other than Cheng Dawei!

The greatest achievement in his life was to smelt the essence of his predecessors and write the Algorithm Tongzong, which is known as the book of mathematics and arithmetic that must be hidden in the family.

This book uses abacus as the basic calculation method, and expounds nearly 600 mathematical problems from ancient times to the present.

However, it is a pity that such a figure from the past and the present has lived in seclusion in his hometown all his life, and has never been an official, and even before the algorithm is unified, few people know his name......

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister was fortunate to see Mr. Binqu in his early years, and he had several encounters, and his attainments in counting a single are indeed breathtaking!"

Ye Xianggao arched his hand and spoke.

Seeing that everyone else was looking at him suspiciously, Ye Xianggao explained again.

"Mr. Binqu is not a person in the court, but a folk hermit, in the early years of business for a living, handed over to the broad, like to collect ancient books, study arithmetic together, the old man in the early years of the study tour, had been to Huizhou Mansion, at that time Mr. Binqu has returned to his hometown, determined to gather the strengths of the family, write a concise and practical abacus chapter, when the old man in Mr. Binqu Township for a few days, deeply feel that Mr. Binqu is knowledgeable, has always been respectful, but then because of the exam, it gradually broke off contact, but in recent years there are a few letters exchanged, Therefore, I only learned that Mr. Binqu had written an abacus collection two years ago, and named it the Algorithm Tongzong! ”

With Ye Xianggao's explanation, everyone suddenly realized that this Mr. Cheng was not a person in the officialdom at all, but a real folk Confucian, so it was no wonder that they didn't know it.

To tell the truth, among these people, they do have an understanding of arithmetic, but it is only an understanding, only Ye Xianggao has worked hard to study this way, and it is not incomprehensible for him to know the people in this way.

However, after listening to Ye Xianggao's words, Fang Congzhe was very annoyed, the reason why he kept dragging this matter was because he had nowhere to start, if the Son of Heaven wanted to convene the great Confucians of the world, there must always be a name, he was not proficient in counting, and he didn't know which people were good at it, so he naturally didn't dare to act rashly.

But how did he forget, there is a counter around him, you know, when the Son of Heaven was in the palace, he personally went to the Ye Mansion to apprentice, and finally invited Li Ye and the others back to the palace together, this matter has been talked about in the court, and the reason why Ye Xianggao was able to get the blue eyes of the Son of Heaven was because of his attainments in counting?

"In this case, leave this matter to Mr. Ye to handle, please Mr. go to Huizhou Mansion, be sure to invite Mr. Cheng to Beijing, I want to invite Dr. Guozijian to him, and ask him to teach a subject of mathematics!"

However, there is no regret medicine to take in this world, Zhu Changluo doesn't care why Fang Congzhe didn't do things well, since he has given him a chance and didn't grasp it, don't blame yourself for giving the opportunity to others.

Zhu Changluo shook his head and continued to speak.

"In addition, from now on, Guozijian counts, and the doctors of the two departments of Gewu are promoted to the official positions of the sixth grade, and the teaching house school is set aside separately, and after Mr. Cheng arrives in Beijing, the grade treatment will be treated according to the five grades, so as to recruit the heart of the world's talents!"

"Obey the order!"

As soon as the words of the Son of Heaven fell, Sun Piyang's heart was really shocked, it was nothing to promote the grades of the two Guozijian doctors, but it can be seen that this position of Cheng Dawei in His Majesty's heart was directly promoted to the grade of an official position for the sake of him alone, which is not unimportant.

But what he didn't expect was that this was not over, the Son of Heaven paused, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and continued.

"Also, when Mr. Ye went, he took my secret decree with him, saying that if Mr. Cheng is willing to enter Beijing, then Mr. Cheng will also serve as the chief examiner of Enke's mathematics subject this year!"
