I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 306 Fang Xiaoru is coming to the ring!Arithmetic useless?
This commotion was so great that no one in the capital knew about it.

Countless arithmetic students knelt down and begged to become Zhu Yunzhen's teacher.

Although Zhu Yunxuan did not agree to their request.

However, he also gave lectures in the capital for three full days, attracting people from the capital to attend and benefited a lot.

In the capital, everyone's mathematics level has suddenly improved a lot.

It has facilitated the daily lives of countless people and made it easier for merchants to do business. Everyone is discussing arithmetic.

This allowed the people of the capital to know that there was such knowledge in arithmetic.

When it comes to profound things, it is like a book from heaven, making countless people in the capital unaware of its seriousness.

However, such a huge momentum naturally attracted the attention of interested people, especially the Neo-Confucianists. After all, Zhu Yunxuan was still hostile to them.

Seeing that Zhu Yunzhen's reputation among the people has greatly increased.

How could they sit still?
Fang Xiaoru has been restless these past few days!I feel as if there are ants crawling all over my body!
But let him lower his face and give lectures to the people in the capital.

That is absolutely impossible.

Thinking that he is a great scholar and represents the superior laws of heaven, these stupid people can only obey him.

Just be obedient!

Why do you need to reason with them?

The power of heavenly principles was undoubtedly exposed in Fang Xiaoru's heart.

The so-called natural principles were essentially created by Neo-Confucianists like Fang Xiaoru in order to force the people to do so.

Because of the existence of heavenly principles, there is no need for education, and it varies from person to person.

It is simple and convenient for the people to follow the laws of heaven one after another.

So from the bottom of his heart, Fang Xiaoru looked down on Zhu Yunxun's behavior of lecturing.

However, Fang Xiaoru still paid attention to "Elementary Mathematics" compiled by Zhu Yunxun. The content was so abstract that Fang Xiaoru could not understand it at all.

And even he couldn't understand it, Fang Xiaoru concluded, and others couldn't understand it even more.

Moreover, no matter how many times Fang Xiaoru read "Elementary Mathematics", he could not find any practical use.

It's really of no use.

It is incomparable to Confucianism, let alone Zhu Xi’s Neo-Confucianism, which was passed down by Confucius and Mencius.

Although Zhu Yunxun's reputation seems to have greatly increased after taking this step.

But in fact it is a bad move!
Fang Xiaoru felt that this was the time for him to fight back!
This time, it's impossible for Zhu Yunzhen to render himself speechless again, right?Fang Xiaoru felt that he had a good chance of winning this time!

then……

The next day, early morning.

Fengtian Temple.

It was still above the court, but this time, it was Fang Xiaoru who attacked Zhu Yunxun.

Today, the layout of the court has long been different.

Although Zhu Yunzhen is the great grandson, he is at a disadvantage!On the contrary, Fang Xiaoru, who seemed to have little power, now has the upper hand!
Behind him, there were countless ministers who stood up for Fang Xiaoru!
There are even many vassal kings who want to take this opportunity to bring down Zhu Yunxian!They still have not given up on the position of crown prince!
Finally, there was an opportunity for Zhu Yunzhen and Lao Zhu to have mutual dissatisfaction.

How could they let it go?
So Fang Xiaoru is now acting unscrupulously!There is a faint trend of becoming the leader of hundreds of officials!

"Your Highness Taisun, I heard that in recent days, Your Highness has begun to promote arithmetic?"

"Compiled a book called "Elementary Mathematics"? May I ask Your Highness, how is the effect now?"

Fang Xiaoru looked arrogant.

There was no respect for Zhu Yunzhen in his words.

Although he called Zhu Yunxuan his grandson.

But in fact, Zhu Yunzhen could no longer be the crown prince in his heart!

Sooner or later, he will make Zhu Yunxian step down from the position of crown prince!

Dignity is shattered!

Zhu Yunxuan glanced sideways, and saw that the other party's villainous attitude was not surprising.

This person is afraid that he already hates himself to the core.

And after a big ups and downs, he finally regained power, and he was about to be overthrown.

It is not unusual to have such an attitude.

"Fang Jijiu, what do you have in mind?" Zhu Yunzhen replied with a smile, noting that he had knocked on the door.

Naturally, he would not refuse Fang Xiaoru who wanted to be humiliated.

Although Zhu Yunxuan had given up trying to decide the winner with Fang Xiaoru in the imperial court, if he could take this opportunity to make Lao Zhu understand that Neo-Confucianism was a hundred times worse than his own psychology.

Also good.

Zhu Yunzhen didn't believe it. Lao Zhu was really confused and couldn't see the shortcomings of Neo-Confucianism!

Although it is difficult to change Lao Zhu's thinking.

But Zhu Yunzhen believes that he can do it!

"I don't want to take it seriously. I just don't understand something, and I want to ask my grandson for advice." Fang Xiaoru answered.

"May I ask, what is the use of this arithmetic?"

Fang Xiaoru looked sarcastic.

Pretending, he said: "I have been thinking about it all day and night, and I can't find the use of this arithmetic."

"Just one word can explain the knowledge of governing the world."

"Perhaps I am stupid. After searching for a long time, I really can't find the use of this arithmetic?"

"Could it be that it's just a fantasy, half useless?"

"Please ask Your Highness to clear up my doubts."

Fang Xiaoru tried his best to ridicule and kept the same idea over and over again. Arithmetic was useless!

Not comparable to Confucianism.

Not even as good as Neo-Confucianism.

However, Zhu Yunzhen linked this work to the study of mind, and Fang Xiaoru criticized arithmetic for being useless, which is equivalent to criticizing the study of mind for being useless!

Zhu Yunzhen naturally would not give in.

"Then you have some self-awareness and know that you are stupid."

Zhu Yunxuan said lightly.

Fang Xiaoru suddenly became furious, like a dog whose tail had been stepped on.

I wish I could bite someone on the spot!
"you!"

But worrying about Lao Zhu above him, he could only groan and remain silent in the end.

After all, Zhu Yunzhen is also a grandson.

If you dare to insult the grandson in the court, the matter will become a big deal!

I'm afraid Lao Zhu will also dislike him!

So Fang Xiaoru still held back, but he still couldn't help but said: "Then let's get my grandson's advice!"

The tone is very aggressive.

Immediately afterwards, several more people emerged from behind Fang Xiaoru.

Help Fang Xiaoru find his place.

"Your Highness, since ancient times, arithmetic has been the most useless. It is indeed gratifying that Your Highness has written a new work now."

"But there is nothing to be happy about. You need to be humble and cautious, and study the knowledge of saints."

"His Highness's words and actions are unnatural. I hope you can correct them more."

Completely suppressing people with heavenly principles.

Even His Highness Taisun must submit to the laws of heaven they say.

Lao Zhu, who was above, also looked puzzled.

As early as when Zhu Yunzhen printed "Elementary Mathematics", Lao Zhu had already obtained this book.

However, it was really difficult for Lao Zhu to understand "Elementary Mathematics".

Lao Zhu flipped through the book for two days in a row, but found nothing. He could only understand the very beginning.

For this reason, Lao Zhu ordered people to watch it repeatedly before teaching him.

Just now I know what the general content of "Elementary Mathematics" is.

In addition to the basic content that everyone knows at the beginning, there are equations, geometry, algebra, functions... and the content inside becomes more complex the deeper you go.

It seemed that Lao Zhu was confused.

To be honest, these things are useful, especially regarding mathematical operations, which simplify a lot.

But the things behind it gradually became mysterious.

It seems completely divorced from real life, and even Lao Zhu has no idea what the use of these things is.

On this point, Lao Zhu and Fang Xiaoru have the same views.

Arithmetic is useless, even if it is useful, it is just to facilitate some basic arithmetic for ordinary people.

That’s just the calculations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division!

Where can it be used?
On that day, Zhu Yunxuan vowed to let the world see it and let the common people comment on whether it was better to study the mind or the Neo-Confucianism.

After tinkering for a long time, you came up with something like this?

To be honest, even though Lao Zhu had full confidence in Zhu Yunzhen, he couldn't help but start to have doubts at this moment.

Not to mention other ministers and generals.

In their view, this bunch of abstract numbers are really useless!
However, this is just their superficial view.

Only Zhu Yunzhen in this world knows where the real application potential of arithmetic lies, and how powerful the real power of arithmetic is!

This is knowledge that can change the world!
Mathematics is the basis of all physical subjects!

Without mathematics, there would be no piles of formulas in later generations, and physics would not be quantified!

And humans cannot control advanced physics!

It can only stay on the surface superficially. Even if you know the principles, you can't really apply them in practice!
Even more impossible to master!
"Okay, let me break this prejudice!" A thought silently flashed through Zhu Yunzhen's mind.

This is also an opportunity.

Let everyone realize the importance of mathematics!
If we can start developing mathematics hundreds of years ahead of time, what will the situation be like hundreds of years later?
moment.

Zhu Yunxuan felt that a huge sense of historical responsibility fell on his shoulders.

Heavy, but unshirkable!
Just because he is the great grandson of the Ming Dynasty!The leader!
