The Royal Academy of the Ming Dynasty has a couplet that is no less powerful than Hengqu's Four Sentences, and has Three Hundred Questions that stumped the scholars in the capital. Therefore, the Ming Royal Academy became popular instantly. There is an endless stream of people coming here to pay their respects every day, not only scholars, but also officials from the court and ordinary people come to watch the fun.
The people simply came to watch the fun, while the officials, while watching the fun, had no intention of trying to see if they could answer these questions. After all, many officials were once scholars, and they pride themselves on being diligent in their studies. It's a pity, but what they had in mind was quite beautiful.
"Master Liu's arithmetic is one of the best in the Ming Dynasty. I wonder if he can solve the difficult problem of the Hundred Questions in Mathematics?"
The man named Master Liu shook his head and corrected: "Master Qin, what you said is wrong. Now the number one person in arithmetic in the Ming Dynasty is Han Jingyun. I don't dare to call myself a leader."
Han Jingyun's reputation had been famous for a while, but she didn't make too many public appearances and only went to the Empress's house from time to time. Therefore, it was gradually forgotten by people.
But although most people have forgotten Han Jingyun, at least the officials of Qintian Prison have never forgotten it for a moment. Other officials were just watching the excitement and didn't know how high Han Jingyun's mathematical attainments were, but the officials of Qintian Prison knew that they were nothing compared to Han Jingyun.
Han Jingyun also came once and looked up at the first question of the Hundred Questions on Mathematics. To others, the words in the book seemed like gibberish, but to Han Jingyun, they were thought-provoking. Whether algebra above the fifth power could be solved using this method, she really hadn't thought about it.
"What are these questions about? Does anyone know what the first question in mathematics means? Is it possible that someone randomly asked the question, but in fact there is no answer to it?" Some readers were confused by the confusing words of mathematics. I was very confused, and because I was incompetent, I maliciously speculated on the sinister intentions of the person who asked the question.
Another person on the side was also dressed as a scholar. After hearing this, he shook his head and said: "This first question of mathematics is too difficult. Not only you, I have never heard of anyone who can understand it."
"No one can understand this, so it can be considered a question? In my opinion, maybe
This is not the title at all. It is deliberately said to be confusing and confusing. "
"That's not the case," the person who just shook his head shook his head and asked, pointing to another question: "When you look at the first physics question, which one do you think landed first?"
The man took one look at it, laughed immediately, and said proudly: "Does this need to be said? Iron is heavier than wood, so of course the iron will fall to the ground first."
When he finished speaking, he saw an unexpected look on the face of the person who asked him.
"What? Did I say something wrong?"
"Brother, of course you are wrong." The man nodded and said to him: "Someone has tried this a long time ago. As long as the two balls are the same size, no matter how heavy or high they are, they will hit the ground at the same time."
"How is this possible? This is impossible." The scholar suddenly became excited, as if the person in front of him was lying to him.
But he just shook his head and said: "Brother is not the only one who doesn't believe this. There are too many people in the capital who don't believe it. If you don't believe it, you can go to Jubao Gate now. I heard that the Military Command Department General Liao’s son doesn’t believe it either, and he is throwing iron balls and wooden balls down there right now.”
Anyone who has seen the scene of iron balls and wooden balls falling together can't help but feel shocked. This is also the reason why no one questioned the authenticity of Han Du's three hundred questions.
After all, things like the iron ball and the wooden ball hitting the ground at the same time are real. No one dares to doubt the authenticity of Han Du's question until they are completely sure.
...
In Jinshen Hall, Lao Zhu has been paying close attention to the academy since it was built. At the beginning, the academy was in a bad mood, which made Lao Zhu wonder whether the academy he built by Han Du could succeed. If it failed, Lao Zhu didn't take the loss in manpower and material resources seriously. The key was the loss of face, which made him very uncomfortable. After all, this academy bore the name of the Ming Dynasty Royal Family.
However, as the Ming Royal Academy became famous in the capital, Lao Zhu's worries gradually dropped.
The Imperial Academy of the Ming Dynasty challenged all scholars with three hundred questions. This was equivalent to a declaration of war. As long as these three hundred questions were not completely resolved in one day, the name of the Imperial Academy of the Ming Dynasty would be forever tarnished.
On the head of scholars all over the world. It can be said that with these three hundred questions, even if the Ming Emperor's Academy cannot recruit a single student, it cannot be ignored.
Seeing that Lao Zhu had eaten an extra bowl of rice, Empress Ma couldn't help but smile and asked: "Did anything good happen to the Emperor? He couldn't stop laughing even during the meal?"
Lao Zhu laughed, stopped his bowl and chopsticks and said to Queen Ma: "Sister, have you ever heard of the Ming Dynasty Royal Academy?"
"I heard that people in the capital are talking about the academy. Even if I don't want to hear it, my ears can't be clean." Empress Ma curled her lips, "What? This academy was built by the emperor?"
"This..." Lao Zhu was a little embarrassed. After dismissing Han Du from his post, Empress Ma was dissatisfied and wanted Han Du to be reinstated. But Lao Zhu didn't want to do it, so he asked Han Du what he wanted to do.
"Didn't my sister ask us to reinstate Officer Han Du? We thought about it and thought it would be a good idea to ask Han Du about this. But he said he wanted to teach. In this case, we gave him a piece of land and let him work on it. .”
Queen Ma was naturally dissatisfied with Lao Zhu for not reinstating Han Du, but since this was Han Du's idea, she couldn't say anything more.
"I didn't expect that he would actually create such an academy." Seeing that Queen Ma didn't pay attention, Lao Zhu said with a chuckle.
"Having established such an academy, does he still want to become a great scholar?" Queen Ma asked unexpectedly.
Lao Zhu smiled indifferently, "Who knows what he thinks? But judging from what he is doing now, he might really have this idea. Sister, you don't know, Han Du is at the gate of the academy I asked three hundred questions, but so far, no one has been able to answer the previous question."
Queen Ma naturally knew this, but since the emperor wanted to say it, she pretended to hear it for the first time. After Lao Zhu finished speaking, Empress Ma asked casually: "When will the academy open? I want to take a look."
Lao Zhu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I haven't asked Han Du about this, but it's okay. I'll just ask him later. If you want to go, sister, you might as well go and have a look."
