Chapter 664: I Love My Teacher, But I Love the Truth Even More

"Of course I know this." I stretched out my hand to stop Li Yuanfang, who wanted to ride forward to teach this guy who didn't know how to teach the heavens and the earth thick, and nodded and smiled very gently. We are also the emperor of the Chinese Empire, and we are also a humble gentleman again, how can we be like bandits and bullies who look at people and clean them up.

Besides, this guy stopped there unarmed, and was frightened by the finger of the crossbow to be so amiable and respectable, such a psychological quality must not be a robber, let alone a master who came to carry out assassination.

"You, what do you guys want to do?! Help, there's someone robbing the academy! Ben Gongzi's polite smile and gentle words did not appease this guy, this unlucky baby twisted his buttocks, and rushed towards the playground not far away, crying wolf howl in his mouth.

"Hey, we're good people, I said...... My day, we are bandits? Ben Gongzi asked around with a black line on his face, and the guard shook his head very resolutely. Yes, we are not robbers, let alone ruffians. But the question is whether this guy is blind or dazzled, how can he see a decent gentleman like Ben Gongzi as a robber?

All of a sudden, the two classes that were playing football and running on the playground suddenly exploded, and one or two of them rushed towards this side with an indignant look on their sleeves. And the teacher in charge screamed, pulled out an iron rod that was stuck in the ground and used as a flagpole, and rushed towards us with a murderous ghost.

Ben Gongzi looked at these menacing students with a black line, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, could it be that I would become the first Chinese emperor in history to be beaten by the students of the school? Or did the rebels of the Industrial Revolution appear in advance a thousand years later?

"Childe, what now?" Li Yuanfang couldn't help but get nervous. Although there are a lot of people on our side, more than fifty good men who guard each other, but now they are not dealing with the enemy, but just a group of unarmed and hot-blooded youths.

"Let's go, it seems that it is really not so easy to make a private visit to Weifu, tell those students, what kind of person I am, let them not come nonsense, otherwise, it will really hurt people, and I will be guilty."

"No! First Squad, come with me! Li Yuanfang rolled his eyes helplessly, put away his crossbow and rode out, and then, the ten guards roared in unison, causing the students who were rushing towards this side to stop their steps.

"It's really Your Majesty!" The physical education teacher who pulled out the chess stick and rushed to the front line looked at this side for a few times, and subconsciously saluted me with a look of surprise. "Long live Your Majesty the Emperor!"

Seeing the teacher who rushed to the front like this, the students all looked at this side with disbelieving eyes. And the middle-aged man who had just been frightened and howled out obscenely came out from behind the student, approached the physical education teacher who was marching and saluted, and whispered: "Is it really Your Majesty?" ”

"Nonsense, you still don't salute Your Majesty!" The physical education teacher shouted loudly with his eyes glared, and now, all the students hurriedly bowed down.

"Okay, okay, everyone, please get up quickly, I have time today, especially to take a look at the situation of the academy, I don't want to, I frightened this gentleman, and I hope that Mr. will not blame me for being presumptuous." He jumped off his horse and walked up to the more than 200 people who had come to worship and laughed loudly.

Wen Yan comforted these students, and after a warm discussion with these students very cordially, he finally let the enthusiastic young man return to his place to go to class.

After wiping his sweat, he saw that the middle-aged man who had just blocked the way was still standing in front of him with a look of shame. "By the way, I haven't heard the name of Mr. Xiaotong for a long time, but I don't want to, but it's a blessing to see it today. Fang Cai's guards didn't intend to intimidate you, and I hope Mr. Xiaotong is not strange. ”

I really didn't expect to meet such an arithmetic master, I really heard Yuan Tiangang's name say, saying that he is a rare person in this era who can talk about mathematics and geometry with him Yuan Tiangang himself.

After listening, I asked Yuan Tiangang to invite Wang Xiaotong into the college to teach mathematics and geometry, originally wanted to meet this mathematician in person, but he has been very busy, but he never thought that he would meet in the academy today, but I believe that Wang Xiaotong and I are not satisfied with such a meeting.

Let the ticket guard stay away from me and Wang Xiaotong, save the psychological pressure on this buddy, and then slowly circle around the huge playground with him, those students are definitely too active in the playground now, especially the students who are running, one or two are like taking aphrodisiacs, and they are running long distances at the speed of 100 meters.

Well, just like when the school flower of our school stood next to the playground, a male student with excessive hormone secretion was showing off his infinite physical strength and the advantages of not being able to fall to death.

Although it is a bit disgusting to describe it like this, it shows a truth, His Majesty the Emperor is equivalent to idols and school flowers in their minds.

It was a pleasure to chat with Wang Xiaotong, a professional-level scholar who has a high level of attainment in mathematics and geometry. He even knew how to use the knowledge of proportions to determine the relative position of the Moon to the Sun.

As I listened to this guy constantly showing off his wealth of mathematical knowledge in front of me, I realized that I had met a wonderful scholar who was keen to combine mathematics with real life.

For example, if he thinks that the land filling and excavation in civil engineering or water conservancy projects can be calculated mathematically, or when calculating the embankments or ditches with different widths and narrowness at the east and west ends, when the number of laborers, the number of working days, and the number of earthwork that can be done per person per day are determined, the size of the embankment (the width of the east head, the width of the embankment, the length of the embankment, and the width and height of the west head, bottom, and height) can actually be regarded as a function of the height of the east head, which can ensure the continuity of the project. In order to determine the east head height, a cubic equation problem arises.

In short, there are several cubic equation problems proposed by Ben Gongzi, and this guy is at his fingertips, and he is not stuck at all. However, the solution method used by this guy made Lao Tzu's eyes black when he heard it, and it was too complicated. And this guy was able to use such a complicated method to calculate, even a super intellectual like Ben Gongzi who had learned the Microcalculus Society in later generations had to express his admiration for his research spirit.

In his opinion, although the equations set by Ben Gongzi, that is, the equations set up by letters, look strange, they ensure the corresponding use of each symbol, thus solving this great problem in the eyes of these mathematicians.

“…… It is because of the many equations and calculations that you have contributed to your majesty that I am able to teach today in a way that allows students to think about and absorb what we teach in the simplest way possible. When Wang Xiaotong said this, he saluted me, whether it was his posture or tone, he was far more respectful than just now.

It's not a loss to be an intellectual, I only worship people who are more talented than myself, but fortunately, this son is such a person, and more importantly, I have a good temper, and I don't care too much about Wang Xiaotong's actions.

"It doesn't have to be like this, I just hope that thousands of students in China can learn more knowledge in a shorter period of time. By the way, Mr. Xiaotong, I don't know how well the punctuation marks and those numbers are promoted in the academy? ”

"Your Majesty doesn't say it, the minister also has to tell Your Majesty, those punctuation marks and numbers, not only for those students to learn is very helpful, for the ministers and so on, the classics of the past, the sentence reading, all on their own, therefore, the world will be due to a certain book dispute and form many schools." Speaking of this, Wang Xiaotong couldn't help but shake his head.

"I think that with these punctuation marks, it will be possible to stop the doctrines of many schools of thought in the past." Wang Xiaotong said with emotion: "In the past, ministers also read ancient classics, but what every teacher said was different, which was difficult to ...... In the end, the minister decided to learn arithmetic, at least, the art of arithmetic, only one correct way, can get the answer, other directions, as long as there is a slight deviation, it will never be possible. ”

I nodded, indeed, mathematics pursues only the activity of truth through the use of abstraction and logical reasoning.

In contrast, those literati have the ability to hold a book that may have been written by others in just one day, read it for ten years, and then write reading notes that exceed the original book by several times or even dozens of times, and then begin to claim that they have read the works of their predecessors.

I am afraid that this kind of behavior has been happening and evolving frequently since the beginning of writing and into the 21st century.

Ben Gongzi doesn't have so much spare time to let the students in the academy hold the book and read for a decade or two to gain true knowledge, what I need is a group of social elites with brains, judgment, and practical ability, so the use of punctuation is appropriate.

"Thank you Mr. Xiaotong for accompanying me for walking such a long way, the college can have a gentleman like you who is dedicated to studying, and I think that I will definitely be able to cultivate many future mathematicians." Standing at the gate of the academy, I looked at Wang Xiaotong, who had a wealth of knowledge in mathematics, geometry, and astronomy.

Wang Xiaotong hurriedly avoided it and returned a salute. "Your Majesty, don't do that."

"It should be so, I have a word, leave it to Mr., and I hope that Mr. will leave it to your disciples." I stood up and spoke in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, please." Wang Xiaotong replied with a solemn face.

"I love my teacher, but I love the truth even more, Mr. Wang, remember." I said word by word.

When I rode away, I still saw Wang Xiaotong still standing outside the door of the academy, muttering in a low voice, as if he was still repeating my words.

"Childe, what do you mean by that? The little ones don't understand. Li Yuanfang asked curiously after getting closer to me.

"I love my teacher, but I love the truth even more, which means that I respect my teacher, but I respect the truth more, and if the teacher says something contrary to the truth, even if I respect the teacher who loves me, I will still choose the truth." I glanced at the guards around me and spoke out loud.

"You must remember that it is precisely because we have such a spirit of courage to believe and explore the truth that we can have the prosperity we have today.
