Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 555 Apprenticeship
This layman watches the excitement, while the expert watches the doorway.

Human life is inseparable from digital computing.

In the past, one, two, three, four, five, people couldn't write, and it was difficult to calculate if the number was too large.

1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 do not have such troubles. With the mature brain of an adult, as long as it takes a little time, the addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of two or three digits can be easily mastered.

The popularization of Huaxia numbers has brought great convenience to the people's lives.

But that's all...

But for an insider like Hulasd, the feeling is quite different.

Hulasd is a well-known scholar in the West. He has been exposed to Western mathematical theories, and he can see the value behind these simple numbers at a glance.

The combination of these simple numbers can be infinitely large, and it is simple and true.

In Western mathematics, a test question needs to be recorded on a piece of paper and a few sheepskins, but it can be brought into this Chinese number, which is a simple formula.

From simple to complex first, then from complex to simple.

Mathematics can only be developed step by step if the foundation is simpler.

This enlightenment work of mathematics contains great wisdom in the eyes of Hullasde.

Li Congde stood aside impatiently, but Hu Rasde pulled the bookstall peddler to ask questions.

Seeing that the bookstall vendors were getting impatient, Hulasd graciously bought one copy of each of the books on the bookstall.

The book stall peddler cheered up, and said, "I don't read much, and I don't know how to ask university questions. This is a business, and I still know the basics. Feel free to ask the distinguished guests, and I will tell you everything."

Hulasd asked all the way along the "Enlightenment of Magic", and asked about basic multiplication and basic division.

Hu Rasde knew all these simple knowledge, but he didn't know how to express it in Chinese numbers.

He already has a deep foundation in arithmetic. As long as the book stall peddler describes a use, Hulasd can understand its meaning and can't help but marvel.

Until the last page, the ninety-nine multiplication table.

Hearing the peddler's explanation, Hulasd was shocked.

The book stall peddler was a little speechless, and he could tell that the "old hat" in front of him was not an illiterate who didn't know anything, but just didn't understand the Chinese numbers promulgated by the imperial court.

But the ninety-nine multiplication table is a thing of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, so there is no fuss about it.

Could it be that there is no such thing in the West?

Holding the book in his hand as if he had found a treasure, Hulasd had only one thought in his mind: he must find a way to come to the Central Plains to study.

Most of the treasure tree kings are highly respected scholars. Their task is to learn and influence believers with their own knowledge, and they do not need to participate in preaching.

Studying knowledge is the greatest contribution to their sect.

After reading a copy of "Enlightenment of Magic", Hu Rasde obviously has more to say.

The bookstall peddler was a little bit apologetic, it was common for people to be tricked by doing business.

Hulasd is gorgeously dressed, and he looks like a rich man.

The price offered by the peddler at the bookstall was extremely high, and he made a lot of money. Seeing this, he said: "I am just a small peddler, and I only know so much. If you really want to understand the profound things, you can go to the mathematics and physics hall. This book "Shu Shu "Enlightenment" was compiled by Chu Yan, a scholar of the Mathematics and Physics Museum, at the request of His Majesty... When it comes to magic, there are few people in the Central Plains who can compare with him."

Hulasd loves spells and his heart is itchy. After asking about the whereabouts of the Taishi Bureau, he looked at Li Congde and said, "If the prince feels bored, you can go back first. If you leave the Central Plains this time, it may be difficult for you to come here in your life." Bianjing, if you don’t have a good communication with Central Plains scholars, you will have trouble sleeping and eating.”

Li Congde was impatient at first, but after hearing Hu Rasde's words, he felt very happy, and agreed, "Let's go, let's go together. I have admired the Central Plains culture for a long time."

There was a hint of sarcasm in the corner of Hurast's eyes, and it disappeared in a blink of an eye.

According to the directions given by the book stall peddler, Hu Rasde asked two more people along the way, and found the location of Wenli Pavilion.

Although number is one of the six arts, like Yushe, it is at the end of the six arts and is not valued by people.

Therefore, before Luoyu's new dynasty, spells were generally associated with the Taishi Bureau.

Because astronomy and calendar require calculations, most astronomy and calendar experts are proficient in arithmetic.

Before the complete development of science, the status of art is not high.

When Luo Youdu promoted Huaxia Numerology, he transferred Chu Yan from the Taishi Bureau, found an abandoned guild hall, and established a mathematics and physics hall to promote mathematics.

Looking at the solemn and thick guild hall in front of him, Hu Rasde declared his identity as a student and begged to see Chu Yan.

After Chu Yan learned Chinese numerals from Luo Youdu, he spent sleepless nights combining numerals with Chinese past dynasties to study logical laws and arithmetic formulas.He was originally a generation of mathematicians, with the full support of Luo Youdu, based on Huaxia Numerals, supplemented by Sifang Mathematics Collection, and studied knowledge with a group of scholars, he has made great achievements, and his level is far better than himself in the same period in history.

Facing Hu Rasta's visit, Chu Yan didn't hide his secrets, and invited Liu Yao, Zhou Jie, Zhou Maoyuan, and Hu Wanqing together to conduct academic discussions with him.

Chu Yan and others were amazed by the many Western theories of Hurade. Although they were novel and unique, they were not beyond his understanding.

However, Chu Yan's research results based on Huaxia numbers in recent years far surpassed Hulasd's understanding of magic numbers.

The profound theory shocked Hulasde as a heavenly man, and he knelt down to worship his teacher on the spot.

Luo Youdu didn't know it himself, but he was actually under his influence.With the implementation of Huaxia Numerals, under the research of Chu Yan, a scholar of Mathematics and Physics, and Liu Yao, Zhou Jie, Zhou Maoyuan, Hu Wanqing, etc., combined with the experience and experience left by the ancients, they have gradually made up for it with their own efforts. own shortcomings.

Hulasd originally wanted to stay in China because of Manichaeism, but now he only has one idea, to be a good student and learn the mysterious and profound culture of the East.

After that, Luo Youdu received Li Congde and Hu Rasde twice symbolically.

Having made up his mind to wait and see the outcome, Luo Youdu regretfully expressed his attitude, just like the rhetoric of the Goryeo envoy.

"The imperial court has been fighting for days, and there is a serious shortage of food and grass. It is impossible for the troops to go on an expedition. If your country can be responsible for all the military pay and food for our army, I will be obliged to do so."

Li Congde was secretly happy, but his face was very embarrassed, and he said bitterly: "Khotan is a small country, unable to support the army of the Central Plains."

Luo Youdu said: "Let your father wait for me for a few years. I expect that the Kara Khanate will not dare to attack Khotan immediately. You should prepare to defend against the enemy first. As long as I regain my vitality, I will not tolerate him coming to fight."

Li Congde was completely dumbfounded, what he wanted was offense, not defense.

Luo Youdu continued: "If the Kara Khanate attacks Khotan during this period, I will order the Xichuan Uighur and Guiyi Army to send troops to help for the time being."

He predicted that Li Shengtian in Khotan would not sit still and look for opportunities to attack the Kara Khanate.

As for whether the Guiyi Army will send troops to support Li Shengtian when he attacks the Kara Khanate, we will wait and see...
