"What?"
In the study room of Xue Mansion, Yongxingfang, Chang'an City.
Xue Baoru looked at the head of the Xue family in front of him with disbelief.
He hurriedly asked: "What did you just say? His Highness, King Yan, is writing a book?"
The head of the Xue family nodded slightly and said, "Back to Third Uncle, the news came from Ming Qi from the Ministry of Household Affairs."
"What Tian Yichu said himself cannot be faked."
Xue Baoru took a few deep breaths and calmed down the turmoil in his heart.
Then he asked again: "Bring me the letter from Mingqi."
The head of the Xue family nodded, and then quickly took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Xue Baoru.
Xue Baoru took the letter and hurriedly opened it and checked it quickly.
After a while, Xue Baoru's inner feelings, which he had finally calmed down, started to stir up again.
"The new method of closing accounts is derived from Jiuzhang Suan, but it has its own set of rules."
"The novice officials of the Ministry of Revenue only spent two days completing the accounts that used to take about ten days."
"The error is reduced by several percent compared with existing methods."
Xue Baoru held the letter and murmured a few words in a low voice from time to time.
In a short time, all the hundreds of words of letters had been read.
Xue Baoru put down the letter in his hand and looked ahead blankly.
I don't know how long it was, but just when the head of the Xue family was about to ask.
Xue Baoru gradually came back to his senses, and a flush instantly appeared on his face that was originally full of decay.
"Third uncle." The head of the Xue family hurriedly stepped forward.
If there is only one family in the family, not to mention that Xue Baoru was once the emperor, the head of the Xue family would not bear the slightest accident to happen to Xue Baoru.
Without waiting for the head of the Xue family to speak further.
Xue Baoru then slammed the table and laughed loudly: "Okay! Okay! Okay! If this method can be written down into a book! It should be handed down from generation to generation!"
"As expected of the queen, she is worthy of being a genius who can solve the great disaster in Guanzhong!"
After he finished speaking, Xue Baoru's expression suddenly darkened a bit.
No, he failed to keep Xu Yi as the king of Chenliu County after all that day.
Xue Baoru sighed heavily, and then said: "After King Yan's wedding, you and I will return to Qinghe County."
The head of the Xue family knew what he said. If he didn't worry about Xue Bao, he wouldn't be willing to come to this place in the capital.
In fact, it is not just the head of the Xue family who is unwilling to stay in Chang'an, but also the heads of many wealthy families in counties and counties.
...
...
After the news that Xu Yi was writing a book came out from the Ministry of Household Affairs.
It was like having wings, spreading back and forth among the upper-class dignitaries in Chang'an City at a very fast speed.
After arriving, the news gradually spread to the entire Chang'an City.
Some people expect it, and naturally some people will question it.
For a time, the entire city of Chang'an was abuzz with opinions surrounding this matter.
Until April 20th.
The fifth day when Xu Yi was crowned king.
It was the fourth day that Tian Yichu got the new method of closing accounts.
A big piece of news broke out from the court.
Tian Yichu, the Minister of Household Affairs, submitted a complete account book in the early morning!
This move was not only inconceivable to the civil and military officials, but also to Emperor Zhengde himself.
In fact, when Emperor Zhengde set the date for one month at first, he just wanted to put some pressure on Tian Yichu and hit Tian Yichu by the way.

Why, when things came to an end, Tian Yichu actually accomplished the impossible.
And it was a full five days in advance.
As the morning came to an end, the news instantly swept through the entire Chang'an City like a violent storm.
The fact that there is a Ministry of Household Affairs is there, who dares to question it?
Suddenly, countless pairs of eyes looked at the inner palace of Jingzhao Mansion again.
If this method could be spread, it would be of great benefit to the entire Zhou Dynasty, from the dignitaries to the peddlers and footmen!
It’s not like no one has thought of getting new accounts from the Accounts Department.
It's just that because all the officials in the Ministry of Household Affairs were silenced by Tian Yichu, no one dared to spread the news.
Even when I was working as an errand in the household department,
The son of a family is like Xue Mingqi.
He only dared to spread it quietly among the senior members of his family, and was strictly prohibited from leaking the matter.
No, in order to achieve temporary success, offending Yishang and Yiqin would be too much of a loss.
...
...
Around noon.
The warm sun passed through the window and shone in the study room of the inner house of Jingzhao Mansion.
The whole study is filled with warmth.
Xu Yi was sitting on the Taishi's chair, holding a wolf-hair pen and writing calmly on the white rice paper, "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic."
It is different from the one handed to Tian Yichu.
The nine chapters of arithmetic that Xu Yi is now familiar with are more basic and easier to understand.
In the courtyard.
Zhao Shou, Lu Wensu, Yang Xianan, and Jiang Ping were busy in front of the movable type printing machines.
Such machines already exist, so everyone is busy without panic.
As everyone was busy, new sheets of nine chapters of arithmetic came out of the machine quickly.
After being exposed to the sun and the breeze, the ink on the paper quickly solidified completely.
After it was completely solidified, the other children of the Lao Wu family quickly bound it up in order.
By midday, there were already hundreds of books in the courtyard.
The rice paper cut beside everyone has all been used up.
Zhao Shou wiped it, said something to the left and right, and then walked into the study.
"Six, all one hundred and fifty copies of the first volume have been printed." Zhao Shou reported softly.
Hearing this, Xu Yi put down the wolf hair in his hand, slightly moved his sore wrist and ordered: "Prepare some food."
"After lunch, take out fifty copies and send them to the Imperial College."
"Xian'an will take the rest to the Western Market for sale."
Zhao Shou heard this and asked: "Six, how much should we price these books?"
"One thousand taels." Xu Yi slowly stretched out a finger and chuckled.
"A thousand taels?!
"Zhao Shou's eyes instantly widened, his face full of disbelief.
Xu Yi nodded slightly and smiled softly: "Pass the news on the way to the Imperial College. If you are willing to buy, prepare a thousand taels of silver notes."
"Is this too much?" Zhao Shou asked in a low voice.
Xu Yi shook his head slightly and said: "No, after all, this kind of business can only be done once per book. After this, there will be no such store. It would be a big loss if we don't kill them once."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Shou nodded thoughtfully, then raised his hands and said, "Zhao Shou will prepare now."
Xu Yi nodded slightly, and then continued to write the second volume.
….

Just like Xu Yisuo, this kind of business can only be done once.
After all, the only people who can spend a thousand taels of silver to buy a book are those who regard money as dirt.
The rest are all trading firms under the aristocratic families.
In the past few days, news about Xu Yi's rewriting of the Nine Chapters of Arithmetic has spread throughout Chang'an City.
At today's court meeting, Tian Yichu submitted a letter to close the accounts, which is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.
With the popularity already so high, how could those wealthy families not take this opportunity to make a fortune?
And time is money!
It is precisely because of this that Xu Yifang decided to print the number of one hundred and fifty books.
Selling one hundred copies to Shijiada and earning one hundred thousand taels can also be understood as 'franchising'.
Fifty copies were given to the Imperial Academy free of charge to deepen his status in the minds of the Imperial Academy students.
Since the beginning, Xu Yi has never thought of monopolizing this business.
First, movable type printing has been around for hundreds of years, and Xu Yi couldn't stop aristocratic families from taking advantage of this opportunity to get a piece of the pie.
Second, even if Xu Yi really had a way to stop it, he would not stop it.
As for the original, it's very simple. What Xu Yi values is the impact of the book's full release, rather than the profit of more than ten chapters of the book.
Although the aristocratic family prospered through this, in fact they were also helping Xu Yi spread his literary reputation invisibly.
Not only did he get one hundred thousand taels to join, but he also consolidated his position in the hearts of the Imperial Academy students.
Not yet
It only cost one copper to spread the literary name to every county in the Zhou Dynasty.
Killing three birds with one stone, why not do it?
...
...
After lunch, Zhao Shou, Yang Xian'an and others walked out of the inner house of Jingzhao Mansion carrying one hundred and fifty books.
After everyone has completely left.
Xu Yi moved his body briefly before diving into the study again.
In the study room.
Xu Yi sat on the Taishi chair, moved his hands again, and then said with a wry smile: "For the sake of the horse, keep going."
After finishing his words, Xu Yi gathered all his concentration and continued to write.
Apparently, after Yang Xianan truthfully told the actual situation in the hinterland of the Yanshan Mountains.
Xu Yi still chose to continue spending money!
As the rustling sound continued in the study, time passed quickly.
When the sun sets.
The courtyard became lively again.
"Sixth Master! Sixth Master!" Zhao Shoufang shouted excitedly as soon as he walked in.
Xu Yi put down the wolf hair in his hand, stood up slowly and walked to the door.
"Six, sold out! All one hundred copies sold out!" Zhao Shou ran to Xu Yi with excitement on his face and reported loudly.
On his body, Yang Xian'an took out a thick stack of silver notes from his sleeve with a smile on his face.
"Six, a full hundred thousand taels!" Yang Xian'an handed over his hand and then presented the banknote.
Xu Yi waved his hand slightly and said: "Take the banknote first. In a few days, I will find some trustworthy hands and buy all the rubbings I find along the way."
"If not, come back and ask me for it when the time comes."
Yang Xian'an's face turned pale, he cupped his hands and said, "Follow the order!"
After Yang Xianan put away the banknotes again.
….

Xu Yi ordered again: "Pay attention to the feedback from the Imperial College and those who bought the new nine chapters of arithmetic in the past few days."
"Follow the order!" Yang Xian'an solemnly handed over his hand again.
...
...
"Basic Mathematics Volume 1."
In the study room of Xue Mansion, Xue Baoru looked at the seven big characters on the blue cover of the book in his hand and murmured in a low voice: "It is one of the six arts of a gentleman. It has been recompiled into nine chapters, so this name is reasonable."
As for the foundation and first, pure and pure is the literal meaning.
Xue Baoru made up his mind, and then began to read through it solemnly.
Although Xue Mingqi had informed the details in advance, the oral description was not as clear as the books.
Xue Baoru was flipping through the book and writing and drawing on the paper.
It took more than half an hour to finish reading the entire book.
Since then, you can understand it after reading it.
After more than half an hour, Xue Baoru put down his pen and book.
Close your eyes slightly for more than ten minutes to relieve the soreness in your eyes.
When he opens his eyes again.
The head of the Xue family on the side asked hurriedly: "Third uncle, how do you like this book?"
Xue Baoru took a deep breath of fresh air, and then slowly said: "Da, replace the original calculations with fixed special symbols."
"In simple words, the secrets of arithmetic in nine chapters are told."
"King Yan deserves to be called a genius."
After finishing his words, Xue Baoru pointed at the word "Basic" on the blue cover of the book.
Then he slowly said: "As for this, it seems to be just a foundation, but it has made rules invisibly."
"If this book is widely circulated, scholars all over the world will follow the rules set by His Highness King Yan in the future."
"Ah?" The head of the Xue family said with round eyes and a face full of shock: "If it is really like the third uncle's residence, then isn't His Highness the King of Yan writing the next book to be handed down from generation to generation?"
Xue Baoru nodded slightly, and then said: "In a few years, maybe scholars all over the world will respect His Highness King Yan as the ancestor of arithmetic...mathematics."
"This..." After hearing Dezu, the head of the Xue family instantly got goosebumps.
His face was stunned and he said: "This...this...this is no different from the sages of the pre-Qin Dynasty."
In the pre-Qin era, hundreds of schools of thought contended.
Qin Zhu is still popular among people today.
Just like Confucians worship Confucius, craftsmen worship Mo, and carpenters worship Lu Ban.
Xue Baoru nodded slightly and said with emotion: "Only one like this can be called a genius."
"Don't forget that His Highness Prince Yan of Guanzhong University had already begun to establish it. This time he wrote a book, although it is not a Confucian classic."
“But it’s still a matter of time and again.”
After the words fell, the head of the Xue family was stunned and didn't say anything for a long time.
The three things a saint does not do is establish virtue, meritorious services and words.
Xu Yi saved hundreds of thousands of victims from dire straits during the Guanzhong disaster, which was already considered an initial meritorious service.
Establishing words: It is said that the words are obtained, the reason is sufficient, and the body is there, but the words still exist.
If this mathematics is widely circulated in the world, then Xu Yi will be equivalent to completing his mission.
If you become a political leader in the future, you will be able to complete your moral character.
Then for thousands of years, there will be at least one semi-saint named!
Thinking about it, the head of the Xue family felt dizzy.
He couldn't help but murmur in his heart: "At such a young age, he has already accomplished outstanding achievements."
….

But soon.
The head of the Xue family sighed heavily, with lingering regret and regret in his expression.
Nothing else.
If it were based on the current actual situation, Xu Yi might not be able to complete his moral character in this life.
The so-called establishment means virtuous government.
However, although the prince was in the two counties of the vassal, he only had three guard battalions of soldiers. As for Shi, he could only govern on the land of his own town.
There are thousands of people living in the city, and even if the frontier army has a vast territory, it only has the land of two counties.
If Xu Yizhen really established his virtues and made meritorious deeds, he would become a saint, or a semi-saint.
If he helps him at all times, he will definitely leave his name in history in the future!
After all, it was his status as a prince that limited Xu Yi's virtue.
"Alas" thinking about it, the head of the Xue family couldn't help but sigh heavily again.
There was indescribable regret in the sigh.
Seeing that the head of the Xue family sometimes looked agitated and sometimes regretful, how could Xue Baoru not be able to tell what he was thinking?
"Ding Fu, do you think about His Highness King Yan's moral character again?" Xue Baoru asked slowly.
Xue Dingfu knew that he could not hide it from Xue Bao, so he nodded and replied: "Back to Third Uncle, yes."
Xue Baoru was silent for a while after hearing this, and then slowly said: "Mo, when we return to Qinghe, we will discuss it with those old guys before making a decision."
Xue Dingfu naturally understood who the old guys Xue Baoru was referring to.
I understand better what the discussion in Xue Baoru's mouth refers to.
Xue Dingfu frowned slightly, and then slowly said: "This matter concerns me, Xue Jiayan. I hope my third uncle will discuss it and think twice."
Iced Tea always reminds you: Remember to bookmark [] after reading it. I will update it next time so that you can continue reading. I look forward to the exciting continuation!
