Zhu Biao was studying seriously in Su Jing's class, and the princes in the main hall were also studying seriously.
However, the motivation to study seriously is still a little slack now.
The excitement Su Jing brought to them was only temporary after all.
For people like Zhu Xi and Zhu Di who are not interested in reading, forcing them to study can only be painful.
Only Zhu Fan, who was good at studying, became more diligent under Su Jing's stimulation.
Not only did he study the Four Books and Five Classics seriously in class, he also learned mathematics from Kaos during breaks.
Ancient Roman mathematics still had many achievements.
Of course, similar to China, the scientific achievements of ancient Rome were mainly extended on the basis of ancient Greece.
Christianity, as the state religion, actually imprisoned the thoughts of the time, and the active academic atmosphere of the ancient Greek period no longer existed.
Christianity is to Europe what Confucianism is to China.
"Teacher Kaos, my brother's reply has arrived."
Zhu Fan came to Kaos with the two questions that Zhu Biao had returned.
This is exactly what Zhu Yuanzhang had people give him.
"Oh, have you solved it yet?"
Kaos was a little excited. He also wanted to know whether the questions he asked could stump Su Jing.
Zhu Fan didn't even look at it himself, he opened the paper in front of everyone.
"This is my fifth brother's handwriting."
With just one glance, Zhu Fan recognized Zhu Tie's handwriting.
"The fifth prince solved it?"
Kaos was shocked. Although he had never met Zhu Ru, he also knew that Zhu Ru was only a nine-year-old child.
The earliest question was solved by Zhu Zhu, and Kaos was already quite surprised.
Now, was this second question solved by Zhu Ru?
He immediately checked Zhu Ru's problem-solving steps. Although some Chinese characters were not very familiar to him, he still understood the whole process.
Zhu Rui is really solved!
Kaos was stunned in place, his brows furrowed, and he couldn't believe it.
"How's it going? Is Fifth Brother's answer correct?"
Zhu Xiang on the side was a little anxious. He couldn't understand it, but it didn't stop him from watching the fun.
Zhu Fan also looked at the problem-solving steps on the paper and fell into thinking.
These days, he has learned a lot of mathematical knowledge from Kaos, which has greatly improved his mathematical level.
As far as mathematics is concerned, not to mention among these princes, even the academic officials in the main hall are no longer as good as him.
Of course, this is mainly because mathematics was really not taken seriously in the Ming Dynasty.
"Third brother, you are talking!"
Seeing that Kaos didn't answer, Zhu Xi said to Zhu Fan.
Zhu Fan was stunned for a moment and said: "It should be right, at least I don't see any problems."
It was not Zhu Fan who came up with the question, so he could only say that it should be.
"That's right. The steps to solve the problem are perfect."
Kaos replied seriously. Looking at the steps to solve the problem, he really couldn't find anything wrong with it.
He looked at Zhu Fan again and said, "Third Prince, is it really your brother who did this?"
At this moment, Kaos still couldn't believe that a nine-year-old child could solve this problem.
Even in Rome, there are very few people who can solve this question.
Zhu Fan replied: "Yes, according to what my eldest brother said in the letter, the fifth brother had no clue at first, but he figured it out immediately after Mr. Su divided the chessboard into black and white on demand."
After hearing Zhu Fan's words, Zhu Xi said with a serious expression: "No wonder, with Mr. Su's on-demand, it is natural for the fifth brother to make it."
He didn't understand, but as long as he knew that Su Jing was awesome, that was all.
Kaos listened to Zhu Fan's words and was shocked instead of lessened.
Su Jing only made it after asking Zhu Ru to do it, which did not weaken Zhu Ru's mathematical ability too much.
On the contrary, it showed the terrifying level of Su Jing's mathematics.
When I saw this question, I probably already knew how to do it.
That's why I taught my student Zhu Zhu to solve the problem. If Zhu Zhu couldn't solve it, he would point out the key points.
this.
Kaos originally thought that the mathematical gap between himself and Su Jing would not be too big, and he might even be better than Su Jing.
But now it seems that I am really overestimating my abilities.
Not a player of the same level at all.
Just the students taught by Su Jing already have such terrifying strength.
Kaos knew that Zhu Rui had been studying with Su Jing for only a few months.
A nine-year-old child became like this after being taught by Su Jing in a few months.
It can only be said that Su Jing is definitely a high-level boss with a commanding position.
"Mr. Su's attainments in mathematics are beyond my comparison."
Kaos sighed slightly and said sincerely.
At this moment, he regretted why he didn't learn more about mathematics when he was in Rome.
He knew too little of Roman mathematics.
In this battle, he lost, not Roman Mathematics.
When Zhu Fan heard this, he felt that Su Jing became even more mysterious.
Because he was studying mathematics with Kaos these days, he felt the great charm of it.
He studied very seriously, and Kaos was already an extremely powerful teacher in his eyes.
Unexpectedly, Kaos felt inferior to himself.
How high is Su Jing's level?
"By the way, Mr. Su also sent me a question."
Zhu Fan took out another piece of paper, which was the topic Su Jing wrote about cows eating grass.
"What's the topic? Let me take a look."
Zhu Ping is still very good at joining in the fun.
However, as soon as he scanned the questions, his head felt a little big.
There are cows, grass, etc., the acres are not the same, I have no clue at all.
"How do you explain this? Is it possible to bring some cows to eat?"
Zhu Xi shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
His brain gets itchy when he thinks too much.
Zhu Fan took out a pen and paper and began to try to list the equations.
However, this is not a linear equation of one variable, but a linear equation of three variables.
Compared to Diophantus's age question, it directly changed from one yuan to three yuan.
Sure enough, looking at the formulas he listed, Zhu Fan fell into deep thought.
He will not.
"Teacher Kaos, how should we solve this problem?"
Zhu Fan asked Kaos. He knew the linear equation in one variable, but he really couldn't understand the linear equation in three variables.
Kaos said: "It's not difficult. There are three algebras here. Let's transform them first, and then..."
This question did not stump Kaos. Although it seems that the difficulty has increased by two levels from one to three yuan, in fact, the solution is to solve the equation from three yuan to two yuan, and then from two yuan to one yuan. .
Su Jing's original intention was not to really stump Kaos. It was just that Kaos asked a question about a linear equation of one variable and returned to the question of a linear equation of three variables.
It's just a courtesy.
"I understand, that's how it is."
Zhu Fan understood it quickly. After all, he had already learned how to solve linear equations, and the rest was not that difficult.
"Is this solved? Kaos, are you too humble? I feel that there is not much difference between you and Mr. Su!"
Zhu Xi said to Kaos.
In his opinion, Su Jing and Kaos solved each other's questions with just a glance, and the difference in level should not be too big.
Kaos looked at Zhu Xi and said, "Second Prince, Mr. Su just didn't make things difficult for me. Kaos can still see this clearly."
"is that so?"
There was some confusion on Zhu Xi's face. After all, he had no interest in these math problems at all.
"It would be great if I had the opportunity to consult Mr. Su face to face."
Kaos sighed slightly.
Su Jing made Kaos realize that the level of mathematics in Ming Dynasty was very high, but mathematics did not seem to be taken seriously in Ming Dynasty.
This main hall is already a place where the princes study, and the teacher who teaches them doesn't know anything about mathematics.
From this point of view, neither Rome nor the Ming Dynasty, as rulers, paid much attention to the learning of these arts.
But this is normal. After all, what rulers need to learn most is how to rule.
Thinking about it this way, this Mr. Su must have other outstanding qualities.
Otherwise, how could Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang let his heir, Prince Zhu Biao, study with Su Jing all the time?
Kaos really admires and yearns for such a character.
"There will be opportunities in the future."
Zhu Fan replied.
Su Jing's reputation has become even louder and louder.
Up and down the court, no one knew about it.
This was obviously done deliberately by his father, Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Fan was astute and had already guessed what was going on.
"I hope so."
Kaos nodded slightly.
Even though he is a foreigner, he is also quite sensitive to politics.
In the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty, he just played his role well.
For Su Jing, he only appreciated and respected Mathematically.
As for other things, if possible, don't get involved.
It's another beautiful sunny day.
The carriage escorting Liu Bowen has arrived in Lishui County. Liu Bowen has not left his mansion for a long time.
Under house arrest, although Liu Bowen was theoretically allowed to travel, Liu Bowen had never left the house.
Looking at the bustling crowd on the street, Liu Bowen was still shocked.
There were not many places as prosperous as Lishui County in the Ming Dynasty.
"Okay, I'll just walk there by myself."
Liu Bowen said to the guard beside him.
The guards nodded and immediately retreated. It seemed as if they were not here to monitor Liu Bowen.
However, Liu Bowen knew that the moment he stepped into Lishui County, his every move would be monitored.
How could it be possible that where Prince Zhu Biao was, there would not be strict protection.
But Liu Bowen didn't care. Compared to the fact that he could see Su Jing soon, nothing else mattered.
After getting off the carriage, he went straight to Su Jing's courtyard without any hesitation.
Not long after, he arrived outside Su Jing's courtyard.
Dong Dong~~~~Dong Dong~~~~
As the knock on the door rang, Zhu Biao stood up and came to the door, and saw Liu Bowen at a glance.
"Master Liu!"
Zhu Biao was a little surprised to see Liu Bowen here.
Like Song Lian, Liu Bowen was also Zhu Biao's teacher, and his teaching time was also not short.
Zhu Yuanzhang was actually dissatisfied with Liu Bowen's house arrest, and he expressed it to Zhu Yuanzhang.
But it was of no use.
The tolerant Zhu Biao and the domineering Zhu Yuanzhang disagreed on many things.
However, this did not change or weaken the trusting relationship between them.
At this time, Zhu Biao couldn't figure out why his father would let Liu Bowen come out.
Liu Bowen bowed towards Zhu Biao: "Master, it was the master who asked me to come."
He didn't explain much. Zhu Biao was a smart man and didn't need to say much.
Moreover, this is Su Jing's home, so you still have to be careful not to reveal your identity.
Zhu Biao nodded and immediately brought Liu Bowen in.
"Mr. Su."
Liu Bowen bowed to Su Jing and saluted.
"Old Liu!"
Su Jing saw Liu Bowen and said with a smile: "Long time no see. Why are you alone? Isn't your master here?"
Su Jing still felt very good about Liu Bowen's impression.
Much smarter than Lao Zhu, and less stubborn.
"The master had something to do at home and couldn't come, so I came by myself."
Liu Bowen replied seriously.
Su Jing looked at Liu Bowen's posture, frowned and said: "Old Liu, what's wrong with you? Why do you feel that something is wrong with you!"
"Is there some kind of wild beast in my house? Why are you so reserved?"
As soon as Liu Bowen arrived, Su Jing noticed something strange about Liu Bowen.
"No, I'm just a little nervous when I see Mr. Su."
Liu Bowen replied.
nervous?
Su Jing was stunned, somewhat confused about the situation.
"No, Lao Liu, what's the matter with you? Why are you so nervous when you see me? And you're speaking like a gentleman, it's really awkward for me to hear!"
Su Jing looked at Liu Bowen and said, "Can we all be normal? It's not the first time we've met, so why are we seeing each other like this?"
"And I also heard Niu Yi say that you have also been his teacher, so we are colleagues. Just be casual."
After teaching Zhu Biao for so long, Su Jing naturally mentioned Liu Bowen.
Zhu Biao's explanation of Liu Bowen's identity is that he was his teacher.
"Then I'd better call you Mr. Su."
Liu Bowen said.
He didn't want to argue with Su Jing about the title. Anyway, he just had to respect Su Jing enough in his heart.
"Alright."
Su Jing smiled and said, "Since we're here, let's go have a meal first. If anything happens, we'll talk about it later."
Although he knew that Liu Bowen must have something to do when he came, nothing could stop Su Jing from doing his job.
The world is big, and eating always comes first.
Liu Bowen wanted to say something else, but Zhu Biao had already taken the lead and said: "Master Liu, just listen to Master Su. Eat first and then talk after you are full."
After hearing Zhu Biao's words, Su Jing nodded with satisfaction.
Zhu Biao was educated by him, not bad.
Although eating on time is just a trivial matter, the medical and health technology in the Ming Dynasty was not high.
Eating on time can greatly improve your immunity.
Improving your own immunity is a guarantee of good health.
Rather than getting sick and then treating yourself, it’s better not to get sick at all!
Liu Bowen nodded and said, "Okay then, just listen to Mr. Su."
Zhu Biao had already spoken, what else could Liu Bowen say?
Su Jing smiled and said: "That's right, Lao Liu, go to Jinling Hotel, there happens to be new dishes, I make sure you haven't tried them!"
The dish development director of Jinling Hotel has always been Director Su Jingsu!
