The Ming Dynasty started with saving the eldest grandson

Chapter 150 Internal Purification
In the next few days, besides spending time with his parents at home, Chen Jingke also spent the rest of his time visiting all his friends.

And gave a gift brought back from other places.

What makes him a little regretful is that Xu Yungong has not returned from a business trip and has not seen anyone.

What he paid most attention to was the arithmetic circle.

As "Fundamentals of Arithmetic" gradually spread across the country, more and more arithmetic masters came from all over the country to study in Yingtian.

Cheng Yimin and others did not take it too seriously and gave them the newly compiled "Intermediate Mathematics".

From these people, many people with good talents and good character were attracted to join.

As word of mouth spread among these people, the status of the compilation group of "Hongwu Suanjing" became higher and higher.

Gradually it started to feel like a holy land for arithmetic.

The Imperial College of Computer Science has recruited another batch of students, and it is still full.

There are currently four classes with a total of 520 students.

This is also thanks to Zhu Yuanzhang's special decree to add [-] places to the arithmetic class.

In the past, there were only thirty people in each session, and it was miserable to still not be able to recruit enough people.

No wonder the Confucian scholars in Ming Jing Ke bullied them.

But things are different now. With the opening up of the arithmetic subject in the National Science and Technology Weightlifting Institute and the establishment of the Hongwu Sutra Compilation Group, the strength of the arithmetic class has increased...

No Confucian scholar dared to bully them anymore, and the most they could do was slander them in private.

But correspondingly, without a common enemy, different voices gradually began to emerge internally.

Many people have expressed dissatisfaction with Chen Jingke's status.

What qualifications does a teenage boy have to represent us?
As for the fact that Hongwu's sutra calculation was based on Chen Jingke's work, they automatically ignored it.

This time when Chen Jingke came back, he could clearly feel the cynicism from many people.

He was not surprised by this, it would happen sooner or later.

It is already rare that it has not exploded until now.

He didn't even think about reconciling, there was no need.

Cheng Yimin and other old men felt very sorry for him. They wanted to argue with those people, but he stopped him.

He said in front of everyone:

"The purpose of our gathering is to promote arithmetic and for no other purpose."

"It would be best if we could continue to study arithmetic together."

"If that doesn't work, just get together and part ways."

"Coax." The whole place was in an uproar. It was originally a good thing, but it suddenly broke up.

Many people's faces became ugly. Their purpose was to fight for the right to speak, but now Chen Jingke turned the table over.

What is harmed is their own interests.

Without this small circle, they are nothing and will be knocked back to their original shape in seconds.

Some people couldn't help but accuse: "What qualifications do you have to ask everyone to disband?"

Many people echoed: "Yes, you've only been here a few times, and everyone has done the work. Are you going to disband if you say you want to disband?"

"I think you just want to have all the power..."

Chen Jingke discovered that many of the people who accused him were the first to join.

On the contrary, the latecomers are relatively silent.

I can't help but sigh in my heart, people will change.

Silently keeping these people in mind, he said:
"I am the editor-in-chief of "Hongwu Suanjing" appointed by His Majesty. Is this status enough?"

Everyone lost their voice in an instant. The organization was relatively loose on weekdays, and the relationship between superiors and subordinates was not so clear.

So many people have forgotten that the compilation group of "Hongwu Suanjing" was not a small circle formed by private individuals, but a formal organization established by the imperial court.

Chen Jingke ignored them and said:

"Mr. Cheng, how long does it take to finish the Sutra?"

Cheng Yimin's face turned livid, he glared at the booing people angrily and said:

"The main content has been written, and we only need to do the final summary verification, which can be completed in a month at most."

Chen Jingke smiled and said: "Okay, I will report this matter to Your Majesty and present the Hongwu Sutra to Your Majesty in one month."

"The famous history is just around the corner. I would like to congratulate everyone first."

But no one present was happy, and everyone's expressions were ugly.

Chen Jingke didn't stay any longer, turned around and left.

Cheng Yimin snorted: "Are you satisfied now?"

After saying that, he raised his legs and chased after him.

Several more core members also chased out.

As soon as they left, the hall was in chaos, and those who forced the palace became the target of everyone's condemnation.

Those who were watching the excitement saw their jobs being smashed and stood up to accuse.

Those people were naturally unconvinced and retorted.

The two sides became more and more excited as they talked, and almost started fighting.

Cheng Yimin caught up with Chen Jingke, sighed and said:

"It's my fault, I indulged them too much."

The other people who came later had almost the same expression.

Chen Jingke answered the question: "How long has it been since Mr. Qiu came here?"

Cheng Yimin was stunned for a moment before replying: "He came once a year ago, and then he never came again."

"I invited him several times, but he always declined because he was busy with government affairs..."

At this point, he suddenly woke up and said, "Are you saying that he didn't come because he saw the internal discord?"

Chen Jingke sighed: "A piece of loose sand cannot create a climate."

Cheng Yimin was even more ashamed: "It's my fault, I thought everything was too simple."

Others were too ashamed to raise their heads.

The compilation group of "Hongwu Suanjing" was an organization established by the imperial court.

This opportunity could have been used to establish a rigorous internal organizational structure to bring everyone together.

Qiu Guangan and Chen Jingke both made this suggestion before.

But they are teachers and are used to a relaxed environment.

I think it’s better to be more relaxed when doing academic research. Besides, everyone joins in voluntarily, so it’s not good to be too strict.

It was really good initially, they were happy.

But now the facts have slapped them hard.

Even if there is no result, it will collapse internally.

Looking at the few people blaming themselves, Chen Jingke was very happy.

purpose achieved.

He had indeed expected this result.

It was weak at the beginning, so it was not easy to gather a group of people, and it was not easy to pick and choose.

So as long as there is merit, all of them are brought in.

As the arithmetic circle gets bigger and bigger, and more and more interests are involved, some people are bound to have their own evil intentions.

Even if he really followed his previous proposal and established a rigorous organizational structure, it would be difficult to avoid this situation.

Split is a matter of time.

Although the rigorous internal structure can delay the time of division.

But Chen Jingke did not forcefully build such a structure.

The first is that he has no time to manage; the second is that he also wants to use this matter for internal purification.

The third reason is to cultivate a group of qualified managers.

Cheng Yimin and others are too bookish and capable, but politically too naive.

I believe that after this incident, they will mature.

At that time, you can rest assured and leave the small circle to them to manage.

The fourth reason is that you only know how valuable something is once you lose it, and you will be more loyal to your new circle and less likely to cause trouble.

Finally, after this purification, the remaining people can more clearly understand who is the core of the organization.

Don't have other thoughts just because you are away for three or four months.As for how to kick those thorns out, he had naturally been prepared for it.

When the Hongwu Sutra compilation team was first formed, preparations were already made.

However, he did not reveal his plan and let them worry for a while first.

I just told them to compile the "Hongwu Suanjing" as soon as possible without making any mistakes.

He turned around and left.

What happens in public cannot be hidden from anyone.

Soon the news spread that the arithmetic clique was about to be disbanded.

Everyone who pays attention to arithmetic is in disbelief.

How could the circle that was so prosperous just a moment ago disappear?
The entire group of planners were silent.

The bond that tied everyone together disappeared, and Ji Guan was about to be knocked back to his original form.

The students in the Imperial College of Computer Science are the most unacceptable.

This small circle represents so many things.

They can learn more knowledge here now, and in the future they can join forces with other planners through this circle.

It's all gone now.

They began to frantically search for the culprit. When they learned that it was Chen Jingke who proposed the dissolution, they began to accuse him.

So what if you are the editor-in-chief appointed by His Majesty?So what if Sutra is based on your work?
Putting all this aside, what did you pay for?
Others are doing the work, you are just showing up in name, why should you disband just because you say it is disbanded?
However, they couldn't even see Chen Jingke's face at all, and all the accusations were like a punch on cotton.

The only one who feels uncomfortable is himself.

So they began to turn their guns and blame those who were making noises.

Do you still have any conscience?
No matter what you say, Chen Jingke is still the editor-in-chief appointed by His Majesty.

The Sutra is also based on his works.

It is also creditable.

So what if he comes less?This is no reason for you to be ungrateful.

Naturally, those people refused to admit defeat and began to refute fiercely.

Anyone who has ever had a verbal spat knows that unilateral output will not last long.

After saying a few words, I felt bored.

Only when both sides continue to output can the fight be lively.

Seeing that those who were making noises dared to talk back, the students of the Imperial College became even more angry.

Start spraying in all directions.

In order to make their comments justified, they began to search for what Chen Jingke had done.

Many of the people who started making noises were his students?
Was he the one who suggested compiling the Sutra?

Did he get the decree from His Majesty?

Is he the one who wanted to promote arithmetic and asked His Majesty to reopen the imperial examination for arithmetic?

Was he the one who saved the Imperial College of Computer Science?
……

When these old stories were uncovered, everyone realized that Chen Jingke had done so much silently.

Those who had criticized him were even more ashamed.In order to make up for their mistakes, they tried their best to spray those who made noises.

At this time, the Confucian scholar from the Imperial College once again sent an assist.

Those of you who learn arithmetic have low morals and do not understand the righteousness.

To do such an ungrateful thing.

It's really ridiculous, ridiculous.

Then Chen Jingke deserves it. He actually got along with you insects, and now he is suffering the backlash.

Now everyone in the arithmetic circle could not help but feel embarrassed.

They all said that this matter has nothing to do with us and should not elevate the behavior of individual individuals to the entire industry.

Then he turned around and joined the crusade.

They were even more ruthless and even expressed their intention to write a letter asking His Majesty to deprive those people of their right to sign on the scriptures.

But Chen Jingke soon said:
The Sutra Compilation Group was established by the imperial court. It was all a favor from the Holy One and had nothing to do with him.

The calculation can be completed because everyone has contributed, and everyone will be named according to their merit.

After the writing is completed, it is appropriate for the group to disband. There is no other reason. Please don’t misunderstand me.

Don't even attack certain people.

As soon as these words came out, they won unanimous praise from everyone.

Chen Ban reads as a true and sincere gentleman.

The ugliness of those people is increasingly highlighted.

It’s not like no one said he was just trying to gain fame.

But the person who refutes it only needs one sentence to end the topic:
I am my great-grandson who studies with me, and my future achievements are limitless. Do I need to praise you for your bad arithmetic skills?
But in any case, the dissolution of the arithmetic circle has become inevitable.

It’s not like no one tried to reorganize, but firstly, they didn’t have enough prestige, and secondly, no one believed anyone when this happened, so they had no choice but to give up.

The arithmetic circle is not just a simple interest group, but also an academic circle.

Many people join not to become officials, but to study knowledge.

Without profound academic knowledge, there would be no way to attract many people.

The more this happens, the more everyone will understand how difficult it was to establish the small circle before.

He also recognized Chen Jingke more and more.

Many people have called for him to stand up again.

Chen Jingke was just paying attention to the change in public opinion and had no intention of standing up at this time.

The time has not yet come.

Now stand up and kick those thorns out?
If he does this, it will solidify his reputation of fighting for power and profit.

Although everyone may not say anything on their lips, there will be a thorn in their hearts.

After the compilation of the calculation is completed and the group is officially disbanded, it will be time for him to appear again.

In the past few days, except for taking time to express condolences to Li Wenzhong, he has been staying at home.

Qiu Guang'an actually wrote him a letter with only a "?" mark on it.

Chen Jingke replied with an "=" sign.

Although the two sides did not form an explicit alliance, there was a tacit understanding.

Many things don't require much language, just a simple symbol to understand what the other person means.

Qiu Guangan wrote the letter, which in itself means that he wants to continue the alliance.

Otherwise it will continue to be indifferent.

The question mark is not about why he did this, but whether he has thought of a way to end it and when he plans to end it.

Chen Jingke’s reply meant the same thing and everyone was happy to cooperate.

The equal sign tells him that he is ready and waiting patiently.

In fact, Chen Jingke also wanted to tell Qiu Guangan something.

For example, he can still sit on the throne of the left minister of household affairs for a few more years, and there is no need to rush to find his next position.

The imperial court is about to undergo drastic reforms, whether it is building a new capital or water conservancy construction, which will require a large amount of materials.

At this time, it is most taboo for the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs to experience turmoil. Even if Lao Zhu is suspicious, he will not change people casually at this time.

As long as Qiu Guangan himself doesn't cause any trouble, there is no problem in continuing to sit in this position for three to five years.

Even going one step further, it is not impossible to become the Minister of Household Affairs.

However, considering that he was always under Lao Zhu's surveillance, he thought it was better not to say anything.

It's not that I can't say it, but there are some things that don't need to be said.

At that time, if Lao Zhu's bad taste breaks out and Qiu Guangan is replaced, who can he talk to to reason with him?

Two more days passed like this, and I saw that I had taken seven consecutive days off. It was a little unreasonable to not go to work.

Get ready to enter the palace.

Before setting off, Fang Xiaoru asked him to meet him at his old place.

After meeting, he received news that he couldn't believe:

"What? Ye Yunliu actually worships you as his disciple?"
