The news that Luoyang Tai's students challenged Ye Chang has become a topic of conversation in the entire Chang'an City in the past few days.

Seeing that the New Year is coming soon, Chang'an City is lively, and with this topic, the excitement will go to the next level. Every day, people run outside the east gate to watch the tent erected little by little, and then there are merchants who walk the way to Jing Zhaoyin, trying to advertise themselves like a ball market.

This has now become an important income for Jingzhao, and Jingzhao Yin is looking up and down, waiting for a year ago to share the profit. However, the Son of Heaven stared, and King Jingzhao Yin didn't dare to go too far, but only approved a few of them.

December 11 has arrived in a blink of an eye, the test shed has been built, everything is ready, and it seems that only the east wind is owed.

"The king has put a lot of thought into it." After Ye Chang heard about it, he smiled and said to Ye An beside him.

"Indeed, the place should not be too far away, nor too long, it must have a canopy, but it must not cover the sight of the Son of Heaven on the city tower, the king still has some skills."

"The ability to pat on the back, the ability to loot the people." Ye Chang muttered, expressing disdain.

He really looked down on Wang, this guy was an interview envoy for Jing Zhaoyin and Gyeonggi, in order to compete with Yang Zhao for the holy favor and show that he also had financial management skills that were not inferior to Ye Chang, he desperately searched the people and set up a name, ostensibly to reduce the people's taxes, but in fact received some taxes after twenty years - as for whether the people can make up this money, it is not a matter for him to consider.

Today, almost all yeoman farmers in Gyeonggi have disappeared, and all of them have been transformed into tenant farmers and even serfs of the powerful and rich.

"Chunming, are you sure about those little junior disciples?" Ye Chang turned to the young man standing beside him again

In the past eleven years, a twelve-year-old boy has become a young man in his twenties. The original black and thin short figure is now tall and strong, and the eyes that were numb at the beginning have also become flexible and vibrant.

Pursing his lips and smiling, Ye Chunming said: "Lang Jun, just rest assured, although I am stupid, Cai Chenguo, Yue Xi and Yang Fan are extraordinary, it is Master Zhang, and it is also said that the three of them are blue." ”

Zhang Shi is Zhang Xiu, the lay nephew of the monk and his party, an unknown figure in history, but because of his acquaintance with Ye Chang, he has become today's premier master of mathematics, physics and mechanics. As Ye Chang's influence on this era is increasing, there are more and more people like Zhang Xiu whose fate has changed dramatically.

However, Zhang Xiu and other national treasure-level figures, Ye Chang did not dare to leave him in Chang'an, and it was very bad to be abducted. He has always stayed in Lushun, Liaodong, and has opened a school in Lushun since Tianbao six years, although Chunming's reading performance is not very outstanding, but because of his loyalty to Ye Chang and personal stability, he has become Zhang Xiu's assistant.

Speaking of his three junior disciples, Chunming looked at Ye Chang's eyes full of admiration. Zhang Xiu once said more than once that if it weren't for Ye Chang's school system, it would have been impossible for these children to succeed in such a short period of time.

Of course, it will not be Ye Chang himself who competes in mathematics with Tai students - the result of Ye Chang's own end, nine times out of ten, he loses, because he can't understand the mathematical expression of this era. But the people mentioned by Chunming are different, Zhang Xiu fused the new mathematics brought by Ye Chang and the old mathematics he learned from his uncle, and taught them together, so that these teenagers are the heads of two families, and naturally there will be no things that they can't even understand the questions.

"Even so, we still have to win all the games of tomorrow." Ye Chang pondered for a while, and then said, "Chunming, you summoned the three of them and went to the test room with me to have a look." ”

"Yes"

Chunming had no doubts about his arrangement, and he answered and walked out. Ye An was a little strange: "Do you want to go to the test room to see?" ”

"That's natural, familiar with the exam room......"

Thinking that in another life, every time before the big exam, the students always have to familiarize themselves with the venue, Ye Chang couldn't help but smile.

After a while, Cai Chenguo, Yue Xi, and Yang Fan were brought to him.

It's a pity to say that Ye Chang's private school was originally set up to cultivate talents among the nephews of the Ye family, but at the same time, it also recruited an equal number of children with various surnames of Xiuwu and children bought by Ye Chang's trustees, each of the three accounts for one-third, but the success rate of the Ye family's children is lower, and there are almost no decent characters among the children at the beginning, even Ye Chang's nephew Ye Zhu, whose knowledge can only be regarded as average. However, among the children with foreign surnames, there was a Cai Chenguo, and among the children bought, Yue Xi and Yang Fan appeared.

Cai Chenguo is now nineteen years old, not tall, with a smile on his face, and he looks very confident. Yue Xi and Yang Fan are a little thinner, the two are one year younger than Cai Chenguo, but they are taller than him. They are all Tianbao three years of learning, and now it has been eight years, and they spend four hours a day studying, two hours of work and exercise, which can be described as a dual development of intelligence and body.

"Lang Jun" is like Chunming, their title to Ye Chang is not an official position, such a title gives them a special sense of intimacy.

"Tomorrow will be the time for you to make a name for yourself." Ye Chang looked at them: "Are you nervous?" ”

Cai Chenguo raised his chin slightly, and said with a smile: "What's so nervous about this, Master Zhang has already told us that the arithmetic masters in the imperial court are inferior to us. We have to pass on Master Zhang's true biography, and we have learned Lang Jun's wonderful skills, if we lose, it will be a strange thing."

"It's good to have confidence" Ye Chang said: "Let's go to the test site today, everything is pre-planned, and if you don't prepare, you will be wasted."

"We understand that Lang Jun ordered us to make all kinds of plans, and that's why."

In the education of these teenagers, Ye Chang attaches great importance to the formulation of plans, from learning plans to emergency response plans, there are a wide variety of types, so most of these teenagers are very planned.

The carriage had already been prepared in front of the door, and out of low-key considerations, Ye Chang did not ride a horse this time. took the three of them to the test room, and when they saw a few sides of the wind, Ye Chang frowned first.

The reason why it is placed outside is nothing more than to be lively, but it does not mean that for the sake of being lively, these teenagers have to stay in the cold wind - that is pure tossing people.

Seeing that an errand from Jingzhao Mansion was guarding the test shed, Ye Chang summoned him: "On the north-facing side, make a wall with wooden planks, so that the north wind will not blow directly." ”

Although the errand officer belonged to Jing Zhaoyin, he knew that his boss was not on good terms with Ye Chang, but he did not dare to neglect Ye Chang's orders, and immediately recruited manpower and blocked that side according to Ye Chang's instructions.

"Prepare another six-foot stove, put it on the side tomorrow, and start a fire, don't be cold......"

"Ye Zhongcheng, you only need to prepare three." Ye Chang was instructing, but he heard someone interject

He frowned, and when he spoke, someone who didn't agree with him interjected, which was both impolite and not in his eyes. Now in Chang'an City, there are only a handful of people who dare to do this, and Fang Cai's voice is clearly not among these people.

He followed the sound and saw a man with deep eyes and a caucasian, looking at him with disdain.

Behind this person, there were more than 20 people, all of whom were cold-eyed and even hostile.

Don't think about it, this group should be the Tai students from Luoyang, and the one who spoke was their assistant teacher Qu Tanxun.

Since Du Fu came to the news, Ye Chang sent someone to check the root of this Qu Tanxun. The ancestor of this person's family came to the Tang Dynasty from Tianzhu and was extremely accomplished in astronomy and mathematics. However, the monk and his entourage presided over the compilation of the Great Yan Calendar, which affected his family's status in the eunuchs. When the monk and his party were alive, he did not dare to speak out, and after the death of the monk and his party, he jumped out and hooked up with the old in the Taishi prison, and attacked the "Great Yan Calendar" for plagiarizing his family's translation of Tianzhu's "Nine Execution Calendar".

This is not completely wrong, the "Great Calendar" does have references to the "Nine Calendars", but it is not to the point of plagiarism. Not only that, Qu Tanxun also decided that the "Great Yan Calendar" was not as good as the "Nine Execution Calendar", and in his opinion, he did not copy it correctly.

The lawsuit went to Li Longji, who asked people to compare the two calendars, measure the changes of the sun, lunar eclipses and stars, and the "Great Yan Calendar" was seven or eight out of ten, while the "Nine Calendars" were far inferior. At this point, the so-called plagiarism theory is self-defeating, and Qu Tanxun and others have also been convicted.

Ye Chang not only runs the arithmetic school privately, but also supports his nephew Zhang Xiu, for Qu Tanxun, he is naturally a big enemy, and it is normal for him to hate Ye Chang.

It's just that the simple struggle between academics and human feelings is implicated in political battles, and this Qu Tanxun is really self-defeating.

"What, Ye Zhongcheng is not dissatisfied?" Seeing Ye Chang looking at him for a long time, Qu Tanxun raised his chin and said with a proud face.

"The six-pot furnace is not for you, but for the students of tomorrow." Ye Chang said calmly: "In winter, it is cold and freezing, and students have stoves, so they should be more comfortable after all." ”

"That's why I said, there's no need, just three seats. My students are not as pampered as Ye Zhongcheng's housemaids, they have been cold for decades, and this little bit of suffering is nothing to them" Qu Tanxun looked back at the students who were following him: "Look, these young men with fine clothes and fine food want to compete with you to learn arithmetic." Are you not like them, you have to enter the family of the rich and noble as a servant, and arithmetic is the place where your family will live in the future, can you stand this cold? ”

This guy is very sharp-toothed, and he has successfully aroused the anger of the students on his side. Ye Chang frowned slightly, walked over and gave Qu Tanxun a slap in the face.

There was a "pop" sound, and the sound was extremely crisp.

Qu Tanxun dared to provoke Ye Chang, so he naturally calculated Ye Chang's possible reactions.

In his mind, Ye Chang is an important minister in the court, a celebrity today, and an immortal disciple in the rumors, he must be a self-respecting person who cherishes his feathers, and he sarcastically said a few words, in order to maintain his image, he can only endure it for life, and there will be absolutely no excesses.

Even if Ye Chang can't bear it and argues with him, he won't have anything to lose - how famous is Ye Chang now, he is just an unknown guy, Ye Chang quarrels with him, isn't it for him to create momentum?

As a result, Ye Chang didn't play his cards according to common sense at all, instead of having a verbal quarrel with him, he directly slapped him and slapped him over, causing him to turn around in half a circle, and his brain was full of flies buzzing.

"You...... How do you hit someone."

The students behind Qu Tanxun were stunned, and then pointed at Ye Chang and shouted.

Ye Chang pursed his lips and glanced at them coldly, he had been in the position of the main general for many years, and with one word, he decided the life and death of thousands of people, and naturally cultivated a kind of prestige. Previously, he didn't show this kind of majesty to the little official, but now it was different. Swept away by his gaze, those students realized that in front of them were not ordinary scholars and celebrities, but figures who were also in the forefront of the famous generals of the dynasty

"Every year, the Anton Chamber of Commerce goes to Chang'an Luoyang Taixue to worship Qian Wanguan." Ye Chang said slowly: "As far as I know, all the prisons of Luoyang Taixue have been renovated, and there are kang and stove fires in winter, and all living beings eat every day, and the court also has rewards. This person doesn't care about nonsense, and erases the kindness of the imperial court and the Anton Chamber of Commerce, I can't bear it."

Hearing this, the anger of the students suddenly turned into embarrassment.

At the beginning, Li Shizhi's son once made trouble for Chang'an Tai students to find Ye Chang, but the matter was settled by Ye Chang, and every year since then, the Andong Chamber of Commerce has donated funds to Taixue - everyone knows that this money is actually paid by Ye Chang. Therefore, to a certain extent, Ye Chang was kind to them, the students and teaching assistants of the country.

But they came to find Ye Chang trouble, to put it nicely, it was a dispute over academic Taoism, and to put it badly, it was to be ungrateful and revenge

This stubble matter, because Ye Chang himself never mentioned it, for so many years, the students have been used to it, but now that they are coming, how can Ye Chang have the obligation to give 10,000 yuan a year to support them?

"I ...... I...... You are obviously afraid of fighting with us tomorrow, so you will do this today" Qu Tanxun came back to his senses at this time, he covered his face, jumped his feet, pointed at Ye Chang and shouted: "Don't think we are afraid, isn't it just some stinky money, without your stinky money, we can live the same"

"Joke, who are you who dare to do this for all the students?" Ye Chang sneered: "Okay, since you said that I am afraid of fighting with you and others tomorrow...... In this way, if you can win tomorrow, the amount of Andong Chamber of Commerce to fund Mr. Taixue Zhu and students every year will rise to 50,000 yuan. ”

After Ye Chang finished speaking, he threw up his sleeves and left. Qu Tanxun was still about to scold, but suddenly Ye Chang turned his head and glared at him, he couldn't help but be so frightened that he took a few steps back and took a few steps, and then sat on the ground.

Just now, Ye Chang was stunned, and it was so far

His embarrassed appearance naturally fell into the eyes of the people watching the excitement, and everyone laughed.

For this guy, the people who watch the excitement really can't sympathize, Ye Chang just said what he said, and anyone with a little brain can judge that this guy is really a thing that doesn't know what to do.

Someone said in a weird way: "Tsk, what a big bet, this gentleman is so powerful, I think I can get 50,000 yuan a year...... It's just that you have to be careful, if you accidentally fall like Fang Cai, you will lose 10,000 yuan of funding every year, and there will be some gentlemen and students who want to find this gentleman."

Qu Tanxun's face suddenly turned pale.
