I'm a marquis in Datang

Du Qi waved his hand and said, "Mr. Wang, sit down!"

After Wang Ji took his seat, he quickly asked, "My lord, what's the matter with you coming to the academy today?"

Du Qidao: "There is indeed one thing about the academy's mathematics. When I was in Yanmen before, I asked people to give the academy the new number calculation methods and formulas. Over the years, how has the academy's mathematics developed?"

Wang Ji heard the words, and said with a guilty expression on his face: "My lord, although the new arithmetic method is indeed classic, it is also much simpler. But this kind of knowledge is difficult to become an official after all, and there are not many people who really come to learn it. It’s just that there are many people who have learned a little from others. Those who specialize in studying this Dao are as many as two slaps away.”

Du Qi was thinking quickly.

To promote the development of arithmetic, we must promote the advancement of mathematics. It seems that simple development is obviously not enough, and guidance is needed.The best guide is a big reward.

This is the reason why there must be brave men under heavy rewards.

Du Qi said: "In view of this, I plan to spend [-] guan to set up a competition and set up first, second, and third prizes. Among them, the first prize is [-] guan, and the number of people is one."

"The second prize is [-] guan, and the number of people is five. The third prize is [-] guan, and there are dozens of people."

"As long as people who come to participate and can compete for places, they can get money. Ten guan and a hundred guan are no small sums. Now, I have directly changed it to an award of tens of thousands of guan. There will definitely be many people coming."

Du Qi said: "This competitive competition is named Hua Luogeng Competition.

every year. "

"Your son is wise!"

When Wang Ji heard this, a bright smile appeared on his face.

He is not a fool.

As soon as he heard Du Qi's words of praise, he roughly understood Du Qi's intention.It is through heavy rewards that many people go to study.Although Wang Ji made it clear that a person who studies arithmetic, with this competition, will definitely win the first prize and earn money.

The problem is that the candidates for the first prize are mainly still in the academy, and it depends on their level of intensive research.Of course, the scholars in the academy were somewhat bloody and prepared, so they all planned to participate.

Wang Ji took advantage of the situation and said, "My lord, there are competitions for people who study arithmetic every year, which can attract many people. Then, should the rest of the knowledge, such as scholars and schools of thought, be rewarded in this direction, so as to motivate scholars to learn?" interest of."

"No!"

Du Qi shook his head and said: "What we need to do now is simply to increase everyone's interest in arithmetic. Other than that, I have no other ideas for the time being. Therefore, there will be no bonuses for the learning of other schools for the time being."

When Wang Ji heard this, he sighed inwardly.

Pity.

Send troops to Turkic

Du Qi suddenly said: "However, there can also be other rewards."

Wang Ji hurriedly said, "Sir, please tell me."

Du Qi said: "It's very simple. I encourage inventions and creations. There are also Mohist people in the academy who study Mohist knowledge, ponder over Mohist mechanism techniques, and manufacturing techniques. But any invention that can be widely promoted and is beneficial to the country and the people Yes, I will reward them all. As long as I think it is acceptable, I will reward at least [-] guan.”

Ten thousand?

Wang Ji was shocked again.

Ten thousand consistent, this is not a small amount.

Wang Ji said: "My lord, many people in the Mohist family have made good inventions, so don't they want to give countless money."

Du Qidao: "No matter how many inventions can benefit the country and the people, no matter how many, I don't think there is anything. In short, you just arrange it and see what happens."

"Yes!"

Wang Ji answered with a nod.

He thought about it in his mind and roughly came to a conclusion.

Du Qi's approach was to praise arithmetic and the people of the Mohist school, because these two things were good at arithmetic and the Mohist school.

Anyway, it's not bad.

After all, there are rewards.

Du Qi continued: "Mr. Wang, you will implement the specific arrangements. I hope that you can truly implement the arrangements to ensure that there is something to be achieved, instead of nothing being achieved by the academy."

"understand!"

Wang Ji replied with a solemn nod.

Du Qi said: "Okay, you can arrange it, I'll go first."

Wang Ji stood up and said, "Master, go slowly."

Du Qi got up and went out. After Wang Ji sent Du Qi away, he finally returned to the study, arranged for someone to call all the teachers in the academy, and announced Du Qi's decision in front of everyone.

When everyone heard it, some people were happy and others were sad.

Those in charge of arithmetic and Mohist theory cheered endlessly, while the rest felt a little regretful.

Because the benefits given by Du Qi are only given to these, and no other people are involved.

Among all the people, Wang Ji has the highest prestige.As soon as he spoke, everyone stopped talking and went down to make arrangements.As time passed, the academy began to get busy quickly, and many people began to prepare.

The matter of the academy is a trivial matter in Chang'an.

Time passes day by day.

On September [-], Li Yuan issued an imperial edict ordering his abdication.Li Shimin immediately asked for his resignation, and after a lot of evasion, finally on September [-]th, Li Shimin succeeded to the throne in the Xiande Hall of the East Palace and formally took charge of the government.Soon after, Li Yuan officially moved, leaving Ganlu Hall, but going to Daxing Palace.

Li Shimin formally entered the imperial city and ruled the world.

Li Shimin's ascension to the throne opened the prelude to the Zhenguan period.The imperial court has decided that this year is the last year of the Wude period, Li Shimin will change Yuan Zhenguan, and next year will be recorded as the first year of Zhenguan.

As time went by, the academy's arithmetic competition was in full swing, and many people who were proficient in it emerged.

These people are not born well.

They are also not good at Confucianism, but although these people cannot become officials, many shops like such arithmetic talents, and these people who are proficient in arithmetic are booked out in advance.

These scholars are also very happy that a person has a way to do things before he graduates from the academy.

Especially under this kind of promotion, numbers are gradually spread, especially Arabic numerals are easy to remember, so gradually,

Countless people knew about the new numbers, which was what Du Qi wanted to see.

As long as more and more people study arithmetic, it will be better and better in the foreseeable future.
