In the middle of the night, firecrackers rang out, and fireworks flew all over the sky, but Jia Xian, the dean of the Technical College, was frightened, little rabbit cub, you also look at the time of trouble, the prince is here, and the prince is here, if you disturb the nobles, can you afford to be guilty!

The old man hurriedly ran away, stopped the students from dying, and came to Wang Ningan to apologize.

Wen Yanbo said with a dark face: "There are no rules, is this still a place to teach and educate people?" You are simply ashamed of the court's favor, you must reflect, from top to bottom, you must thoroughly review! ”

Jia Xian nodded hurriedly, even more ashamed, "The lesson of Prime Minister Wen is that our court must be changed...... It's just that I also ask for the understanding of the Duke of Wen, our technical college, even the rats are public, the student found his daughter-in-law, and the big guys were happy for him, and he forgot for a while, please take care of the Duke Wen. ”

"Humph!" Wen Yanbo flicked his sleeves and turned his head to look at Wang Ning'an, he looked up with his face, full of disdain, and said in his heart that he didn't see it, just such a bunch of unseen things, dog meat can't be on the table, you still hold it as a baby, the old man doesn't believe that they can do anything big!

Wang Ningan didn't mind much, on the contrary, he felt that young people should make a little fuss, really follow the rules, be honest and obedient, and there are no inventions in this world.

"Dean Jia, this is a gold dollar, give me a share of the money, and wish the newcomers to be single-minded and grow old together." As he spoke, Wang Ningan took out a golden coin and stuffed it to Jia Xian.

Jia Xian's hands trembled a little, and everyone said that King Xiliang was approachable, and there was no difference between high and low, but now he really deserves his reputation.

"The old man thanked the prince for the students."

Wang Ningan said with a smile: "I want to thank you, it is not easy to teach and educate people for the country, I have asked, they put the tractor test site here because you are a college with high quality students, strong hands-on ability, and quite a good achievement in running a school." ”

Jia Xian hurriedly waved his hand and said: "The prince praised it falsely, and the little old man didn't dare to be ashamed." Saying this, Jia Xian couldn't hide his pride, he took out a book from his arms and sent it to Wang Ningan.

"The Yellow Emperor's Nine Chapters of the Calculation of the Grass".

Wang Ningan took it in his hand, opened it and read a few pages, revealing a look of surprise.

"This is written by Dean Jia?"

Jia Xian nodded, "It is indeed written by Xiao Lao'er, and it is now one of the school's teaching materials. ”

Wang Ningan didn't answer in a hurry, but went to the room, asked someone to add a few lights, and looked carefully.

It took half an hour for Wang Ningan to see a small half.

What surprised him most about this book was a very peculiar triangle made of numbers...... Wang Ningan thought hard for a long time before he remembered that this was called the "Yang Hui Triangle" in later generations, that is, the binomial coefficient table...... A very remarkable mathematical discovery!

The person in front of him is called Jia Xian, not Yang Hui, could it be that Yang Hui plagiarized, or was there a mistake in later generations...... Wang Ningan can't think clearly, in fact, it's not the problem of these two, Jia Xian's works were later lost, Yang Hui has introduced it in his writings, Jia Xian has used this method, so Yang Hui's triangle is also called Jia Xian's triangle...... All in all, this unattractive little old man in front of him is definitely a great mathematician!

This also explains why the students he taught are very hands-on, because any part has to use mathematical calculations, and with a famous teacher to guide them, they will naturally get twice the result with half the effort.

Wang Ningan is very excited, in the Great Song Dynasty, finding a scholar is everywhere, but finding a mathematician is even more difficult! Wang Ningan and Jia Xian talked about it, and the more they chatted, the happier they became, until dawn, Jia Xian's face was full of light, and he sighed: "The old man was really a frog at the bottom of the well in the past, but I didn't expect the prince's arithmetic skills to be so deep, and the class got an axe." ”

"No, no, no......" Wang Ningan waved his hand again and again, "I haven't studied for a long time these years, and it turns out that my ability may not be able to defeat Jia Gong." ”

Between the conversations, Wang Ningan had already used honorifics.

He knows that the whole of modern science, engineering, and even sociology is based on mathematics, and he also knows that people who are talented in mathematics are only one in two thousand!

Every mathematician is a baby bump.

"Jia Gong, what other people do you know who are proficient in arithmetic?"

Jia Xian thought about it for a while and said: "Lord Wang, you also know that the imperial court has never attached importance to arithmetic, that is, in the last ten years, there has been a change, to say that he is proficient in arithmetic, the old man has a student named Yao Shunfu, don't look at his age, but he is obsessed with arithmetic, and he has a deep study of the astronomical calendar. ”

Wang Ningan nodded happily, "Jia Gong, this time the imperial court wants to build a railway, a large project of thousands of miles, a little negligence and sloppiness cannot be tolerated, it needs to be carefully calculated and scientifically constructed, I want to ask Jia Gong to come over and serve as an engineer to assist in the construction." ”

Jia Xian didn't have any excuses, and said happily: "If the prince can afford it, Xiao Lao'er will never refuse, it's just that the academy has just started, and the students can't be thrown away, and Xiao Lao'er is also old, and there must be an assistant for some things...... Lord, you see? ”

"No problem, Jia Gong, you can bring a helper over at will, each person will receive a monthly allowance of 20 yuan, and the board and lodging are all free...... If Jia Gong has any requirements, he can come to me directly, no matter when, just ask. ”

……

A real scientist, Wang Ningan never dared to slack off, his attitude also made Jia Xian greatly moved, what is called a soldier for a confidant to die, the old gentleman did not hesitate at all, directly selected 20 of the best students, with Wang Ningan set off to return to Beijing, ready to participate in the railway project, he sent someone to Yao Shunfu to send a letter, let this student also come over, together for the country.

On the way back to Beijing, Wang Ning'an's face was full of spring breeze, and he picked up the baby, can he not be happy!

But Wen Yanbo was angry and complained.

"Erlang, didn't the old man say that you, a craftsman, an inferior person, are all doing the last job, but you attach so much importance to it, it will inevitably make the hearts of real scholars chill!"

"Wen Xianggong, I don't know who you are talking about, could it be you?"

"Scholars attach importance to morality, light life and death, are not afraid of power, do not yield fame and fortune, plan for the family and the country, preach the learning of sages, and take responsibility for the society of the country...... Every move, word and deed is an example in the world. Let's talk about these guys, which ones are up to the top? ”

Wang Ningan snorted, "Brother Kuanfu, if you say so, don't ask for a tractor, don't buy a seeder, you and your group of scholars use their hands to plow the land, slash and burn, regardless of gains and losses, don't want fame and fortune...... It's just right, under the blue sky and the bright moon, raise the spirit of Haoran, it's best that you don't eat the fireworks in the world, and go to Shouyang Mountain to be a hermit, how about it? ”

"Wang Ning'an!"

Wen Yanbo gritted his teeth in anger, and suddenly he laughed again, "Hahaha, Erlang, you are still not smart, sooner or later you will understand, the people of the world still have to respect scholars, do you believe it or not?" ”

"Of course I believe it, because the power to write history is in your hands!" Wang Ningan smiled contemptuously, "Believe it or not, after decades, these scholars dare to say that it is you who advocate progress, lead civilization, and agitate the trend that make the wise open, and as a result, there are all kinds of inventions and creations...... It's all your work, am I right? ”

Wen Yanbo closed his lips tightly, revealing a look of horror. Wang Ningan just smiled indifferently, he knew too well the literati's ability to be greedy for heavenly merit. Was there the Great Voyage first, or was there the Renaissance, was there colonization, industrialization, or was there ideological enlightenment first?

Think about it a little and you'll know which is more important!

Nine out of ten of the so-called sociology is to explain the reality of the world at a stage, rather than to create a leading ...... In the end, it's the doers, not the talkers, who change the world.

Therefore, no matter how many masters, no matter how prosperous their thoughts, no matter how good they dance, no matter how good they dance, how talented they are, how chic they are, they can't stop machine guns and cannons, and iron hooves trample on them......

Wang Ningan is a very realistic person, he has long seen through the ghost tricks of the literati to steal the sky, his face is full of disdain, Wen Yanbo snorted vigorously, "Even if you are right, what can you do?" You're alone, after all! ”

"Soon it won't be."

"What do you mean?" Wen Yanbo asked anxiously.

Wang Ningan laughed, "Brother Kuanfu still doesn't know?" Because of the reform of the imperial court, a large number of officials should be enriched, and the imperial examination should also be adjusted...... So...... The history of the future will not be allowed to be written by you! ”

"You, you ......" Wen Yanbo got up excitedly, but forgot that he was sitting in the carriage, his head touched the roof of the carriage, and he grinned in pain.

"Wang Ning'an, you are dying, sooner or later, all the scholars will come to you to settle accounts!"

"So what? Am I afraid? Brother Kuanfu, it's better that you don't get out of it, or else! Wang Ningan gestured with his hand on his neck, Wen Yanbo only felt a chill all over his body, and he didn't dare to say more.

After returning to Beijing, envoys from various vassal states arrived, all carrying generous gifts, and Song Zhen, Zhang Fangping, Pang Ji, and the three governors also sent personnel to offer gold and silver local products.

Don't think that only Wen Yan will squeeze oil and water, these few people will start to work, it is very dark, in total, there are a total of 5 million, and there are 100,000 coolies, of which 50,000 are from the Wa Kingdom alone.

Talents, labor, materials, and funds...... It's all together, and it's finally time to get started!

At this time, Fan Chunren suddenly found Wang Ning'an, his face was blue and he was very unhappy.

"Senior brother, do you care?"

Wang Ningan took a breath, "What happened?" ”

"It's not Xiao Yan, he forcibly expropriated land in Xuzhou, provoked a popular uprising, and actually put the people on the list of heroes and strong, and wanted to move to the Japanese country, in fact, he forced the people to die! Can you sit idly by and ignore such a big thing? ”

Wang Ning'an was also startled, he hurriedly took a blood letter from Fan Chunren's hand, which described in detail how many Xuzhou Tuiguan Yan Dao, in order to requisition land to build railways, and the cruelty of the people, below is a bunch of blood-red palm prints!

Wang Ningan took a deep breath, "Yaofu, tell me first, where did you get this?" ”
