Li Shimin didn't expect Kong Yingda's reaction to be so intense.

So he hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade: "Why should Kong Saijiu be so angry, Yuan Aiqing may have something outstanding in what he has learned, so he can make such a promise." ”

Li Shimin said this just to remind Kong Yingda.

After all, the Academy of Mathematics was founded not long after the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

None of the previous dynasties paid attention to it.

Now there are only two arithmetic professors in the entire Guozijian, and there are only more than 30 students.

As the saying goes, there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky.

In case Yuan Tiangang has learned some advanced arithmetic knowledge that is just enough to deal with this problem.

When the time comes, once it can really be completed on time, how should Kong Yingda withdraw?

However, his words not only failed to persuade Kong Yingda, but caused the dissatisfaction of the two professors.

Since the two of them were able to teach in Guozijian, they were naturally a little confident in their own knowledge.

Now listening to Li Shimin's meaning, it is obvious that there is something in his words.

Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?

Is this disgusting for the two of us for not being proficient in learning?

So they quit.

The two looked at each other and then both stepped forward.

One of them said, "The minister is also willing to bet with Lord Yuan." ”

Another said: "If Lord Yuan can really complete this matter on time, it will be considered that the minister is not good at learning and art, and the minister is willing to worship Lord Yuan as a teacher." ”

After listening to their words, Li Shimin couldn't help but rub his forehead.

These old pedants are all humble gentlemen on weekdays, and they don't care about anything.

However, when it comes to their profession, it can become particularly sensitive.

As long as someone dares to question their knowledge, then they have to argue with you.

Li Shimin saw that his words accidentally stabbed the hornet's nest, and quickly looked at Wang Qi on the side.

I want him to open his mouth to ease the tension.

After receiving Li Shimin's hint, Wang Jue immediately spoke: "Kong Saijiu, two professors, everyone is doing things for the imperial court, why should they be so-for-tat?" ”

Kong Yingda snorted coldly: "Lord Wang doesn't need to persuade again, the official's mind has been decided, and there will be no change." ”

One of the professors also spoke: "Xia Guan has never heard of such a profound method in arithmetic, if you can see it, you should treat it as a teacher. ”

When Wang Qi heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded.

He also didn't have anything to do with these three old stubborns.

Seeing this situation, Li Shimin had no other way.

He had no choice but to take out the majesty of the emperor and said: "This is a major matter of the country, how can you use it for gambling at will?" ”

He said to Kong Yingda with a straight face: "How can Kong Sacrificial Wine be so childish when he has an important position? ”

Li Shimin's words made Kong Yingda honest.

However, he still said stubbornly: "The minister wants to personally see Lord Yuan's miraculous method, and I hope that Your Majesty will fulfill it." ”

Li Shimin glanced at Yuan Tiangang quickly.

Seeing that he looked like an old god was there, he didn't seem to care about this kind of request.

So he coughed lightly and said, "If Yuan Aiqing has no objection to this, then he will follow the invitation of Kong Sacrifice Wine." ”

Yuan Tiangang opened his mouth and said: "The minister has no objection, so he will go back and gather the students to go to the household department." ”

Li Shimin nodded and said: "This matter is related to the follow-up planning of the pheasant slave, and I hope Yuan Aiqing will not ignore it." ”

Yuan Tiangang replied: "Weichen should do his best. ”

After everyone dispersed, they naturally began to prepare separately.

And after Kong Yingda returned to Guozijian, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

So he told the other officials of Guozijian what happened in the court today.

This operation immediately aroused the hatred of the others.

So they all said that Yuan Tiangang was a little too arrogant.

After Kong Yingda took two arithmetic professors to witness Yuan Tiangang's words, the others immediately spread the news in the community.

So soon, some students and Confucians in Chang'an City began to discuss.

Their views are very unanimous.

Basically, everyone thought that Yuan Tiangang was in a hurry to show himself, so he boasted about Haikou in front of the emperor.

Just when public opinion in Chang'an City began to spread, Yuan Tiangang had already brought thirty children about ten years old to the household.

When the officials of the household department saw these children, they almost beat Yuan Tiangang directly.

Who are you scolding?

Lao Tzu has been an accountant for half his life, but in the end he can't compare to a group of children?

You, Yuan Tiangang, even if you are a confidant of His Royal Highness King Jin, shouldn't you humiliate me so much, right?

It's not just these Wang Jue's subordinates who are angry.

Even Wang Qi almost didn't get angry when he saw these children.

How can you, Yuan Tiangang, be so arrogant?

Don't you know that doing so will cause trouble for His Royal Highness King Jin?

The most unbearable are Kong Yingda and the two arithmetic professors.

When they saw these children appear in the household department, they rushed directly to Yuan Tiangang.

Kong Yingda twisted Yuan Tiangang's shirt with one hand and asked angrily: "Yuan Tiangang, how dare you, a shameless puppet, humiliate me like this?" ”

Yuan Tiangang asked with a puzzled face: "Where did Kong Sacrificial Wine say this?" These are the students of the lower officials! ”

Kong Yingda's lips trembled for a long time before he glared and said, "You just want to lead them to fulfill Your Majesty's trust?" ”

Yuan Tiangang said: "Why not, they are already good at this!" ”

These children are all outstanding students in accounting.

Yuan Tiangang was carefully selected to come up with the top thirty people.

He said it for granted.

However, when you listen to the ears of the others, the taste changes completely.

There were thirty children in front of me.

How good can their arithmetic be?

If their arithmetic can be better than everyone present, then wouldn't these people have studied most of their lives in vain?

Kong Yingda grabbed Yuan Tiangang's chest and said tremblingly: "Okay... Good... Good! Since Lord Yuan is so confident, then the official is here to witness it with his own eyes. ”

He took a deep breath and continued, "If these dolls can't complete this matter on time, the official will definitely sue you in court and sentence you for the crime of bullying the king. ”

Yuan Tiangang also lost his temper at this time.

Do you frogs know what accounting is?

Do you know what is single-entry accounting and what is double-entry accounting? Do you know what an account is?

Thinking of this, he said coldly to Kong Yingda: "Since this official dares to make a military order in front of His Majesty, he is naturally sure of it. ”

Speaking of this, he opened Kong Yingda's hand and snorted angrily: "Kong Sacrifice Wine is best to look carefully, so that you know what it means to have people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky." ”

After saying this, he turned his head and said to Wang Jue, who was in a daze on the side: "Please also ask Lord Wang to ask the account books to come out, the time is limited, and the officials will start to calculate." ”
