Han Dao world

Chapter 710
More than half an hour later, Liu Xie and Yu Fan completed the test by walking around Jianzhang Palace.

Yu Fan's performance was perfect.

Liu Xie invited him to get on his horse, walked side by side with him, walked into Chang'an City, walked into Weiyang Palace, and came to Qingliang Palace, please be the honored guest.

Zhao Yun and others withdrew, and Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were also arranged to wait outside the hall, with only Zhou Zhong and Zhuge Liang as companions.

Seeing this scene, the anxiety in Zhou Zhong's heart finally dissipated.

Liu Xie and Yu Fan had a lot of chats, including the Tuna technique handed down by Yu's family, Yi Xue handed down by Yu's family, and "Lunheng" written by Yu Fan's fellow countryman Wang Chong.

It has been a hundred years since Wang Chong passed away, but his "Lunheng" has not been dissatisfied with the circulation, and few people know about it.Liu Xie knew about this book, on the one hand, it was the impression of his previous life, and on the other hand, Cai Yan mentioned this book.

When Cai Yong was living in the rivers and lakes, he went to Kuaiji and saw "Lunheng", and he deeply admired it.But Cai Yong has the bad habit of a scholar. While gaining a lot of fame with the arguments and methods mentioned in the book, he never mentioned this book, so many people have not heard of this book.

Yu Fan didn't have the idea of ​​collecting treasures, seeing that the emperor was interested, he immediately talked about it, even surpassing his family's Yi Xue.

Liu Xie immediately decided to print [-] copies of this book and distribute it to the world with funding from the Shaofu.

Yu Fan was very grateful.

Kuaiji is far in the southeast, and its humanities are not as good as that of the Central Plains, or even the neighboring Wu County, and it is often regarded as a barbarian.Yu Fan was very knowledgeable and wanted to rectify the name of Kuaiji, but he didn't find the opportunity.

This time he entered the court, in addition to assisting Sun Ce, he also had the idea of ​​making a name for himself.

It's just that he didn't expect that the first person to agree with him would be the emperor, and with the help of the emperor, he wanted to print Wang Chong's legacy in the world.

Yu Fan was a little excited.

The emperor's courtesy to him was even worse than that of Sun Ce.More importantly, although Sun Ce obeyed his advice, Sun Ce himself was not good at studying, and he was not very interested in the knowledge that he regarded as precious. The emperor was very interested in it, and he saw its value at a glance.

In terms of realm, Liu Xie is more than one step ahead of Sun Ce.

If you are like this, what can you ask for.

After talking with Yu Fan for a long time, I still couldn't get enough.Liu Xie decided to settle other matters first, leaving Yu Fan behind for a long talk.

He first asked about Zhou Zhong's itinerary, especially about Lujiang Dutian.

With mental preparation, Zhou Zhong calmed down a lot and told what he saw and heard.

Liu Xie thought for a moment. "Duke Zhou, let's make a deal."

"Deal?" Zhou Zhong was a little uneasy.

As a minister, making deals with the emperor, if this is recorded in history, wouldn't his reputation be bad?
"The biggest difficulty in Lujiang Dutian is not the public opinion, but your Zhou family." Liu Xie cut to the chase, with an ugly face and a not very pleasant tone.

Why is Zhou Zhong troubled?It is simply because he knows what to do, but he doesn't want to do it.

In the face of righteousness and profit, he chose profit.

If he could take the lead in announcing his support for Du Tian, ​​Yan Xiang would never be so embarrassed.

With the Lujiang Zhou family taking the lead and opposing Dutian, the Lujiang clan would be so unscrupulous.

Zhou Zhong prostrated himself on the ground in embarrassment. "I... feel ashamed."

"I will make a ten-year agreement with you. The Lujiang Zhou family supports Du Tian. If ten years later, your family's property is not as good as the income from the existing land, I will make up the gap for you and discuss the way of Du Tian again. How about it? "

Zhou Zhong raised his head in astonishment, looked at Liu Xie, just met Liu Xie's slightly cold eyes, his heart tightened, and he immediately lowered his head again.

It stands to reason that he should reject the emperor's proposal at this moment and firmly support Dutian without any conditions.But when the words came to his lips, he changed his words.

"……only."

"That's it. You write a letter to inform your family first. Other matters will be discussed later."

Zhou Zhong nodded in agreement again, and then made another request.

"What Your Majesty just said, can it not be included in the daily note?"

The corner of Liu Xie's mouth twitched slightly. "If you don't record it in the living note, you are not afraid that I will break my promise? Don't worry, the daily note is hidden in Lantai, and I will not make it public during my lifetime. You don't think I will live less than ten years?"

Zhou Zhong broke out in a cold sweat from fright, and quickly apologized.

He understood what the emperor meant, and he must remember it, but he didn't have to worry too much. When he was alive, there was a high probability that few people knew about this transaction.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhou Zhong bowed again and withdrew.

Liu Xie gave another order. "Duke Zhou, go talk to Duke Yang and discuss Sun Ce's appointment the day after tomorrow."

Zhou Zhong glanced at Liu Xie in surprise, surprised and delighted, and couldn't believe his ears.

He is Doctor Guanglu now, just a subordinate of Guangluxun, so he is not qualified to discuss matters with Taiwei.Judging from Liu Xie's meaning, it is clear that he intends to let him take over as Sikong.

"I didn't say it clearly enough?"

"Clear, clear." Zhou Zhong came to his senses, replied repeatedly, and went out happily.

Yu Fan sat aside and watched, with a look of disdain on his face.

Zhou Zhong's performance was really inconsistent with his identity, and it was hard to believe that such a famous official like him had such a face.

"Zhongxiang, the Xiangshu school has numbers. Do you also study numbers?" Liu Xie looked back and resumed the topic.

"Although Chen Yu didn't work hard in mathematics, he has a lot of experience." Yu Fan was not humble at all.

"Then who else do you know who are proficient in arithmetic?" Liu Xie said with a smile: "Both Taixue and Lecture Halls need a lot of teachers who are proficient in arithmetic. Although you are proficient in arithmetic, you still need some help."

"I didn't pay much attention to this, and there is no suitable candidate at the moment." Yu Fan stroked his beard, and then said: "If your Majesty needs it, I can inquire and recommend some people. In addition, I can also choose some materials that can be made. Teach them some basics of arithmetic, and it will not be difficult to have a few people who are good at arithmetic in the future."

Liu Xie nodded. "I think that since it is a number, the image is very important, and the number should not be underestimated. If it is countless, the image is just a shape."

As Liu Xie said, he took a piece of paper, first drew a cross on it, then drew a sine and cosine wave, and pushed it in front of Yu Fan.

"Do you know what this looks like?"

Yu Fan, who was still talking eloquently just now, looked confused. "Is this... the Elephant of Water?"

"This is what I told you just now that the odd changes and the even remains the same, and the symbols look at the quadrant." Liu Xie raised his eyebrows pretending to be mysterious. "Take it back and study it. I think it will take a few days for you to understand."

Feeling competitive, Yu Fan accepted it generously. "The minister will show his shame, go back to study and study, and then come to discuss with His Majesty."

"Very good." Liu Xie asked Zhuge Liang to fetch another book and put it in front of Yu Fan. "This is the mathematics of the Western Regions sorted out by Lantai. It has some new ideas. You should also understand it. It may be helpful. Stones from other mountains can be used to make jade."

When Yu Fan heard that he studied mathematics from the Western Regions, he was a little disgusted at first, but after hearing Liu Xie's words, he had to reluctantly accept it.

"How about I use these in exchange for your breathing technique?"

Yu Fan was stunned and burst out laughing. "Your Majesty sits on the world, but exchanges with the minister. I really don't know whether to be happy or worried."

"I think you should be happy."

Yu Fan thought for a while and nodded in agreement. "Your Majesty is right, I should be happy."
