When Zhang Shou heard the words "disciple of Ge's family", he knew that Ge Yong was extraordinary because of the way the dandies dared not say a word in front of Ge Yong, as well as Zhu Ying's introduction when she quietly reminded him.
However, he still misjudged the severity of the situation. Because when he admitted on behalf of Ge Yong that everyone was Ge's disciples, and then said that the promises made last night were valid, and at the same time pointed out that those who wanted to slack off could leave immediately, Qingfeng Xulai Hall was suddenly in an uproar.
The power and reputation of ancestors and parents are certainly useful, but not everyone is willing to be compared vertically and horizontally with other people's children or even their own good children all the time, and to live a life of feasting and drinking today.
Who wouldn't be happy if they could have an identity that they could show off and feel proud of, instead of having to apologize in front of their brothers who have already embarked on a successful career, or even in front of outstanding peers
As a result, Zhang Shou received countless curses and oaths - anyway, as a disciple of Ge, everyone present, including Zhang Chen who was a little reluctant at first, said that they would never give up, even if they had to continue learning mathematics which was like a heavenly book.
So, when he said the next words, he received another wave of heartfelt gratitude.
"I said yesterday that mathematics requires talent and cannot be forced. So, although I gave you a lesson today, I didn't force you to master the ten mathematical books thoroughly. Fingers have their strengths and weaknesses, and so do people. We had a long talk last night because I was trying to get a feel for your background based on your advice."
Lu Sanlang and Zhang Chen, the two sworn enemies, exchanged glances at the same time.
No wonder Zhang Shou was testing the situation last night and Mr. Ge showed up tonight. It turns out that this is a collaboration between teacher and student!
"Knowing your strengths and weaknesses, I can teach you in accordance with your aptitude and find a path for you to take in the future. I will sort out the secret manuals of the Ge Sect that the teacher left behind and pass them on. Of course, the teacher teaches everyone. If you want to pass it on to others, it is fine with my permission."
As Zhang Shou spoke, he was secretly calculating in his mind.
To be honest, those pure playboys are of no use and there is no need for them to stay in Cuiyun Room for a long time. After teaching them some simple and practical things, they can be sent back to the capital to develop various industries.
But since they were called disciples of Ge, it was appropriate to pass on various geometry and algebra textbooks that were like heavenly books to them. As long as these people showed off their status as disciples of Ge, they would definitely print a lot of books to please the founder. Then these mathematics textbooks would have a chance to be introduced to the scholars and the people, and there would always be people who admired Ge Yong and would study them.
Anyway, the old man is a rare master of mathematics in this era! Even if he is found to be using tiger skin as a banner, his attention will be attracted by those theories. Even if Ge Yong wants to settle accounts with him, Zu Chongzhi's lost "Zhuishu" is enough reason!
In the history of the Ming Dynasty, even though the Yongle Encyclopedia collected a lot of classics, and there was at least a book called "Mathematical Tongzong" for practical mathematics, theoretical mathematics gradually declined. Few people used the Tianyuan method for setting equations, and even fewer people understood the method of increasing, multiplying and square rooting!
By the Qing Dynasty, mathematics had basically developed based on Western learning, which was purely a catching-up process.
