Qin Huan listened to the people from Guozijian and Hongwenguan scrambling to give advice, and waited quietly, the expression on his face did not fluctuate too much.
Although his surname is Qin, he has nothing to do with Prime Minister Qin. Because of his sensitive identity, he has never agreed to any prince's solicitation.
Moreover, from the bottom of his heart, he did not agree with the King of Shu becoming the next emperor.
If it's just mediocre qualifications, it's fine, the country that has been stabilized by several generations of emperors in Jingguo is hard to lose in his hands, but what the King of Shu has done in recent days has made him a little vigilant.
Not to mention being incompetent and talented, if a generation of emperors did not even have the most basic virtues, under the circumstance of being surrounded by foreign enemies, Jingguo might be destroyed.
As for Li Yi, son of Chang'an county that everyone was discussing—Qin Huan never doubted His Majesty's ability to know people. Since His Majesty asked him to teach the princes and princesses arithmetic, it shows that Li Xianzi does have such qualifications.
But in any case, this matter has nothing to do with him, and he no longer pays attention to this matter. Qin Huan glanced casually around the hall, and when he was about to take it back, his expression suddenly froze, and he looked in a certain direction.
Beside the table above, King Jin's chubby figure was lying on the table, biting the tip of his pen, frowning, as if he was thinking about something.
Not long after, his brows stretched out again, his round face looked a little proud, he picked up a pen and wrote quickly on the paper, after a while, his brows wrinkled again...
Seeing this scene, Qin Huan felt a little puzzled.
…
…
Seeing that the Guozijian was extremely belittled by Li Yi's new mathematics, Emperor Jing frowned and asked: "It's not that the new mathematics created by Li Xianzi is convenient and easy to implement. I asked the Guozijian to try it out for a year. If it is possible, it will be implemented in the world. It will create a new situation in arithmetic, with such merits, why can't Li Xianzi become the prince's teacher?"
An old man snorted coldly and said: "The old man has seen Li Yi's new arithmetic, it's just crooked, how can it compare to the method handed down by the ancestors, how convenient is the method of calculation, he wants to replace it, these people who have forgotten their ancestors, If the old man encounters it, he must smash his head!"
Qin Huan looked away from King Jin, glanced at the old man, and couldn't help but twitched his mouth.
Li Xianzi even dared to beat the king of Shu, so why was he afraid of an old Confucian, he was afraid that before he knocked the opponent's head off, his old bones would be torn apart first.
After the old Confucian finished speaking, the Guozijian Jijiu immediately stepped forward and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, although some people in the Guozijian think that Li Yi's new arithmetic is remarkable, it cannot replace our plan. If it is carried out rashly, I am afraid it will only be wrong. My son, if the foundation of our Jingguo students is damaged, I will die and die..."
In front of Emperor Jing, Guozijian's words of offering wine were already very euphemistic.
It probably means that Li Yi's new arithmetic is something that our Imperial College doesn't like at all. Your Majesty, you layman, don't compare blindly. When it comes to this, our Imperial College is professional.
Afterwards, several people came forward to speak, with the general idea not much different from Guozijian's sacrificial wine, and dismissed Li Yi's new arithmetic as worthless. If such people are allowed to teach the princes and princesses about arithmetic, not only will their Guozijian and Hongwenguan lose face, Your Majesty Your face is about to be thrown outside the palace gate.
Emperor Jing frowned, and finally a hint of doubt appeared on his face.
Although he also dabbled in arithmetic, he was not arrogant enough to be more powerful than people like Guozijian. Everyone, including the two great scholars, criticized Li Yi's new arithmetic. Could it be that he was really wrong
Thinking of the way Li Yi taught the prince and princess in the past, Emperor Jing became even more suspicious.
Seeing the suspicion on Emperor Jing's face, the officials of Guozijian and the scholars of Hongwenguan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The teachers of the princes have a respectable and extraordinary status. This is an invisible protective umbrella in itself. Without this status, Chang'an County is just Chang'an County, and it will be much easier for them to deal with.
Qin Huan glanced at Yan Bing again, and found that he still had a dead face. His Majesty was obviously about to be persuaded by them. Could it be that Yan Bing really wasn't going to do something
Forget it, anyway, this matter has nothing to do with him, Qin Huan shook his head, unintentionally cast a glance at King Jin behind him, and found that he had put down his pen, stretched his waist, and the expression on his face seemed to be a little satisfied
"In this case..." Thinking that Li Yi himself seemed not too satisfied with this job, Emperor Jing thought for a while, and said, "I will be selected from the Imperial Academy..."
"Royal father."
Suddenly there was a child's voice behind him. Emperor Jing turned his head and saw Jin Wang Li Han standing behind him, holding something in his hand.
After a closer look, it was discovered that it was a memorial just submitted by the Ministry of War, which recorded the details of various military expenditures, and it was exactly what the two ministers were arguing about just now.
He took the memorial from Li Han's hand, and said: "You can't mess with this, Han'er wait a little longer, and the father will play with you when the emperor is over."
"Father, they miscalculated a question." King Jin raised his head, looked at Emperor Jing and said.
The nine-year-old fat man was actually quite handsome, and when he raised his head to speak, he had a cute feeling.
At this moment, his face was a little smug, like a child who has done a good deed and is waiting for an adult to praise him.
And that's exactly what happened.
Emperor Jing was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile, and said, "Don't make trouble, Han'er, let's go over there and play."
Even if Li Yi once told him that King Jin was very gifted in arithmetic, Emperor Jing didn't think he would be better than the master of arithmetic in Guozijian.
If something goes wrong with this memorial, the Ministry of War will lose many heads. How could Yan Bing play tricks on this matter
"Father, they really made a mistake!" Father didn't believe him, Li Han felt a little wronged, and said anxiously.
Emperor Jing frowned, and was about to reprimand him, but when he saw King Jin's aggrieved face, tears were about to come out, he remembered that he hadn't talked to him for a long time, his heart softened, and he said: " Well, then Han'er told Father, where did they go wrong?"
The little fat man smiled again, and opened the memorial in Emperor Jing's hand. When he saw the strange characters densely packed on the memorial, Yan Bing, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, changed his face and looked at Emperor Jing, "Your Majesty, this..."
Emperor Jing waved his hand and said, "Just make another copy after you go down."
Yan Bing watched as King Jin opened the long memorial and spread it on the ground. The blank space had already been filled, so he could only nod with a wry smile.
"Here, this is here." The little fat man pointed to a place and said confidently: "Father, look, the transportation of grain and grass between Liangzhou and Youzhou should not be allocated in this way. In this way, there will be too many people on the road." Too much consumption... ”
King Jin half-kneeled on the ground, pointed to a calculation formula he listed next to him, and said, "If there is more here and less here, it will be the optimal allocation. At least 10% of the loss can be reduced, and there will be a lot of silver in the calculation." Woolen cloth… "
The members of the Guozijian didn't take this matter to heart at all, and Yan Bing and Emperor Jing didn't think that a nine-year-old boy could point out the mistakes in the court's military expenditures, so they didn't care too much.
Although King Jin's words were vague, Qin Huan, who was always sensitive to silver, quickly understood.
The Department of Accounting has always been aiming to do the most things with the least amount of money, no matter where the application is, it wants to reduce the application by 20%.
The amount of military expenditure is huge, and it is the largest allocation from the Ministry of Households every year. He has always been very cautious. However, because the Ministry of War has its own set of calculation methods for this, and with the help of experts in mathematics from the Imperial College, Qin Huan has hardly doubted their correctness. sex.
The results of it
Obviously, the problem can be solved with only 100,000 taels. The Ministry of War asked the Ministry of Households for 120,000 taels. Of course, the money was not embezzled by the Ministry of War, but was thrown on the road for nothing...
And that's just one time.
One time 20,000 taels, how much is ten times
If the Ph.D.s in mathematics at the Imperial College are all at this level, how much money will the treasury waste that shouldn't be wasted over the years
Qin Huan's heart was filled with anger when he thought of His Majesty's tax reduction and exemption, the treasury was empty, and he was worried about money every day.
Of course, he would not be so impulsive. His Royal Highness is just a child less than ten years old. What if he made a mistake
So Qin Huan squatted down and began to check the calculations by himself.
Not long after, Qin Huan's breathing gradually became heavy. He looked up at Yan Bing, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and the people of the Imperial College, his eyes were bloodshot, like a beast that would prey on someone.
