Chapter 185 Preaching for Mathematics

The Imperial College School had already disbanded. Students in groups of three or three began to wander around. Seeing people gathered at the door, they all rushed over.

Fang Xing nodded and said, "If you have any questions, please tell me."

Zhao Sheng handed the bag to his companion, glanced at the crowd around him, and said seriously: "Do you ask Mr. Fang, did the preface in that book be made by himself?"

Fang Xing said inexplicably: "Of course I did it. Do you have to ask someone to catch the preface?"

Zhao Sheng was relieved when he heard this, and stopped bowing his hand. Instead, he looked at the people surrounding him and said loudly: "Mr. Fang, you wrote in the preface that mathematics is the basis of all learnings. How dare you ask if it is the He family's speech?"

The students around all took a breath. Most of the people here bought Fang Xing's books, but they just sneered at the preface.

But no one has ever thought about the act of blocking Fang Xing and questioning him in public.

"I'm in trouble now!" someone said gloatingly.

"Is Masu here?"

"No, he seems to be going to experience things today."

The so-called experience is internship. As a student in the Imperial College, you often have this kind of internship opportunity.

"What a pity. If he were there, his face would be ugly today, and his master's dignity would be gone."

“…”

There were various discussions here, but Fang Xing had already changed his face.

Damn! This is for me!

After sneering, Fang Xing said, "Do you think there is something wrong with my preface?"

Seeing that more and more people were coming, Zhao Sheng said with a sigh: "Of course there is a problem. You said that arithmetic is the basis of all learnings, so where does my famous teaching be placed?"

Damn it! What a poisonous thing!

But Fang Xingyi was not afraid, and he said, "Have you learned arithmetic?"

"Learn... I've learned."

If a student in the Imperial College dares to say that he hasn't learned it, outsiders will think you are lazy.

Hearing Zhao Sheng's voice, Fang Xing looked around and said, "What I mean by the foundation of all learning is the widespread application of mathematics in all aspects. For example, an old farmer, a businessman, an official, or even a Grand Secretary, can use mathematics in all walks of life. Do you have any objections to this?"

Fang Xing avoided the direct confrontation with Confucianism, because he would die miserably and no one could save him.

And the old peasants and businessmen in the past did not need to learn Confucianism.

As for officials who must study Confucianism, it is because of academic monopoly. If you do not study Confucianism and have poor academic performance, you will not even have the qualifications to enter this system.

There is no weapon that is more powerful than this monopoly, so the eight-legged essays have become popular since then.

When Zhao Sheng saw someone's face showing contemplative expression, he shouted: "Of course I have objections!"

"I also have a Confucianism. We are never willing to fall behind in the Six Arts of a gentleman!"

The six arts of gentlemen, but what Confucius taught at that time were: poetry, books, rituals, rituals, spring and autumn, and music, and there was no number included.

This is to summarize Fang Xing's mathematics into Lao Master's Confucianism, which will eliminate the possibility of Fang Xing being alone.

This is to not only try to snatch the basin on Fang Xing's head, but also to weaken his reputation for publishing books.

Brother can't bear it anymore!

Fang Xing smiled at Zhao Sheng and said, "My math is not the kind you said. As for which one it is, I won't tell you!"

Turning around, Fang Xing said to everyone like a pyramid schemer: "Dear students, today I will take advantage of the opportunity to tell you about the application of mathematics in all aspects."

Everyone looked at Fang Xing with anticipation. No matter what he said, either everyone gained something or just threw a rotten egg over.

Fang Xing did not see Zhao Sheng's dark face behind him, and said to himself: "The way of mathematics lies in application, not as a god who is above the top."

"For example, if a farmer learns mathematics, he can analyze the family's income and expenditures and predict the subsequent expenses based on the family's situation. This is not an estimate, but an accurate calculation."

"And those small farmers can also calculate whether it is cost-effective to rent other people's fields to plant, and these often require experienced old farmers to calculate."

"right!"

At this time, a student in the crowd who was probably born in a farmer stood up and said, "Mr. Fang, what you said is correct. My family used to be able to calculate income by my father, but I could only be at a loss."

Fang Xing gave a warm smile to this prison student who dared to reveal that he was from a poor family and then continued: "Then it was the merchant. The merchant learned mathematics. He could easily calculate the amount of money he bought and sold, and added a batch of goods. How much profit could he make with the cost? But in the past, he needed to hire an accountant."

Speaking of merchants, no one dares to stand up and speak, because the status of merchants in the state is not high. The so-called scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are at the end.

Fang Xing said without any offense: "As for craftsmen, I dare to say here, a craftsman who knows how to do math must work harder and more laboriously than others if he wants to become a good craftsman!"

Craftsmen cannot rely solely on experience. Size calculations, stress calculations, and all aspects of engineering accounting...

Fang Xing looked at the students around him and finally talked about the scholarship.

"The last one is a scholar, that is, an official."

This guy is trying to die!

There are many people around you looking at Fang Xing with this kind of eyes. You dare to regard mathematics as a must-learn for officials. This is not challenging everyone.

"I don't need to say more about the benefits of the minor official. Everyone knows, what about the parents' officials?"

Fang Xing seemed not to see those eyes and said, "There is a phenomenon now, that is, most people who have just been appointed as parents will hire one or several staff members to consult or calculate money and food."

"This is the parent official!"

Fang Xing said with a sad face: "I don't know anything, and all the affairs are controlled by the officials or staff below..."

He is about to kill himself!

Many people are waiting for Fang Xing to start spraying, for example...

Aren’t you mediocre officials?

"Ahem! Then why not learn math well?"

Fang Xing changed his mind and was disappointed, and he said with a smile: "For example, the Ministry of Revenue, after learning the advanced part of mathematics, he can analyze the abnormal changes in the various parts of our Ming Dynasty and even the whole country, and can be expressed intuitively in a graph at a glance."

"In that case, can the Ministry of Revenue make a better response based on these specific fluctuations in entering and leaving the country in combination with changes in climate disasters?"

"There are also the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of War..."

Seeing everyone waiting for the words below, Fang Xing glanced at Zhao Sheng disdainfully, touched his stomach and said, "It's time for dinner. I'll continue with you next time if I have the chance."

He just left?

Everyone looked at Fang Xing out of the gate in amazement, and then left under the escort of the servants.

"This hasn't mentioned the specific example yet, why did you leave?"
