Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

And Zhang Yan, who thought that he would have no chance to use it in the future, so he just read it as a bedtime reading, naturally did not expect that he would be able to reproduce it completely through the system one day in the future.

Chapter 50 Declining

"Oh... I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it."

"You two sons, the most important thing in my life is talent, and the two of you have achieved so much at such an age, they are obviously talents among talents."

"A few days ago, I led troops to fight in Hedong and Taiyuan, so I didn't have the opportunity to meet you two for the first time, but now that I have met two talents with the help of Wei Xian, it is a kind of meeting for us to meet. fate."

"Benhou, I am a rough person, and I don't know how to say those pleasant and touching words, so I will not be polite to you two, but speak directly."

"I admire the talents of the two of you very much, and soon I will also set out to go to the Lujiang area to take up the post of prefect."

"I hope to get the help of the two of you. I don't know if you two are willing to follow me. As long as I can meet all the conditions, you can open your mouth. I will definitely do my best."

Quite sincerely, he said in the direction of the two, perhaps due to the improvement of his status, Zhang Yan has become more confident than before when communicating with others.

And considering that these two people are likely to play a very important role under his command, Zhang Yan naturally spoke directly and put his sincerity in front of them.

In fact, if you really talk about it in detail, the olive branch thrown by a prefect and prince-level force like Zhang Yan is not too bad.

But after hearing Zhang Yan's solicitation, although the two were quite moved, Zhang Ju was the first to speak and politely rejected Zhang Yan's request.

"This... Zhang is very grateful for the love of the Marquis of Wan. It's just that I have always had a dream in my heart that I want to fulfill, so I am really sorry. I hope that you will forgive me, Marquis of Wan. "

Apologetically, he cupped his hands in Zhang Yan's direction. Although Zhang Ju was quite moved by Zhang Yan's invitation, but thinking of the goal he had always insisted on in his heart, he finally declined Zhang Yan's invitation. invite.

Hearing that Zhang Ju had refused, although Ma Jun and Ma Deheng on the side were quite moved by the idea of ​​becoming an official, they still gritted their teeth and rejected Zhang Yan's invitation together.

"I also hope that the Marquis of Wan Kingdom will forgive me, and I will definitely obey my orders."

Gritting his teeth and rejecting Zhang Yan's invitation, Ma Jun, as a man who has just grown up, actually has a strong desire to be appreciated by others, especially to become an official like those scholars from big aristocratic families.

Especially when the inviter was a prince who recognized him very much, Ma Jun felt that it was a pity to reject Zhang Yan's invitation.

But unlike Zhang Ju, Ma Jun came to visit with his friends this time. If Zhang Ju is Zhang Yan's guest, then he is Zhang Yan's guest, and he must consider when making a decision. Some feelings to Zhang Ju.

Therefore, although he felt a little pity in his heart, Ma Jun still chose to stand behind the same front with his friend Zhang Ju in the end.

"Hey, Brother Zhang, why did you refuse...Although I also know that you really want to continue to study your calculation method, and really want to annotate the two books left by your ancestors..."

"But it might not be a good choice to follow the Marquis of the Kingdom of Wan. Who said that following the other party can't concentrate on studying the numbers..."

With a silent sigh in his heart, Ma Jun also felt a little hard to understand Zhang Ju's decision.

Unlike the other party who has a better family background, Ma Jun is a real poor boy, so this rejection is obviously more painful and difficult for him to make a choice than his friend Zhang Ju.

As for the other side, after hearing that the two rejected him one after another, even though Zhang Yan was a little more confident than before, he still couldn't help but feel a bit of lamentation.

……

"Um... can't you?"

A trace of suspicion suddenly rose in his heart about his behavior just now. Zhang Yan also remembered that in the novels of his previous life, most of the protagonists as the protagonists invited each other outright. As long as their attitudes were frank enough, the invitations were often Everywhere is beneficial.

It's just that after I tried to invite him in a similar manner, he was rejected by the two of them one after another, and I immediately hated the plot arrangements of those novels in the previous life.

But after silently sighing his own stupidity in his heart, scolding himself for believing the plot of the novel, Zhang Yancai turned his head to look at Zhang Ju, who was the first to refuse among the two, and wanted to try to see if he could persuade the other party.

After all, Zhang Yan saw the changes in the expressions of the two of them successively during that glance just now, and also remembered them in his heart.

For Ma Jun who is relatively more hesitant, Zhang Ju is obviously the one who really needs to spend energy to settle.

"Here, I don't know if it's Mr. Zhang, what are your plans in the future, you might as well tell me and ask Benhou to help you with your advice."

"Although in terms of intelligence, I may not be able to compare with you people who are educated, but as a dude with some strength in Luoyang, maybe I can help you in some aspects."

"I am really pleased with the talents of the two of you. Even if you can't be with me in the future, if you have any difficulties, you can talk to me in detail. Where I can help is naturally Will not refuse."

Asking Zhang Ju with a sincere face, Zhang Yan did not forcefully question why the other party was unwilling to follow him at this time, but tried to understand the thing that the other party had always wanted to accomplish from the side, and see if he could do something Help each other in some ways.

And if it is really possible to leave some good impressions on the other party through this matter, then recruiting the other party to go to Lujiang with him may or may not be the last possibility.

Therefore, just sighed softly for a moment, Zhang Yan forcibly regained his energy, and looked at Zhang Ju who was sitting by the side with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

And hearing Zhang Yan's attitude, Zhang Ju naturally calmed down, and explained his difficulties to Zhang Yan in a good voice.

"Don't think too much, Marquis of the Kingdom of Wan. It's not that I don't want to serve as an official under your command. It's just that Zhang has always been committed to recreating the glory of his ancestor Zhang Pingzi, so he has always devoted himself to researching data. After counting one, I hope that one day I can thoroughly study the books compiled by my ancestors, and make annotations for the two books "Sun Wang Lun" and "Ling Xian Lun."

"Although it would be a very good choice to be with you, Marquis of the Kingdom of Wan, but compared with the glory and wealth, I want to complete the knowledge of studying things and knowledge that my Zhang family has been studying with great concentration all the time. , so that the things left by the ancestors will not be dusted because of our stupidity."

He explained to Zhang Yan with some regret on his face, Zhang Ju naturally understood that the other party was a great prince of a place, and it was not easy to be able to invite him in such a low voice.

Only after thinking about his dream all along, he finally made his choice.

Contrary to his expectations, after hearing his explanation, Zhang Yan's complexion suddenly became a little weird.

Chapter 51 The Last Straw That Overwhelmed Zhang Ju

It was just beyond his expectation that after hearing Zhang Ju's explanation, Zhang Yan's complexion suddenly became a little weird.

"Eh... to become an official?"

"Did I just say that I wanted to invite you to become officials?"

Looking at the two people in front of him with complicated expressions, Zhang Yan saw their refusal, and thought they were unwilling to follow him.

But after carefully listening to Zhang Ju's explanation, Zhang Yan found that the other party didn't seem to hate him, but just didn't want to start his political career.

If the other party is not satisfied with him, then no matter how much Zhang Yan tries to persuade him today, it will be of no use.

But if he just misunderstood what he meant, then Zhang Yan's hanging heart could be put back into his stomach.

……

"Didn't you become an official?"

"Then you just said, Marquis of Wan, to go to Lujiang with you..."

On the other side, after seeing Zhang Yan's puzzled expression, Zhang Ju also looked at Ma Jun at the side, as if feeling a little puzzled.

Under the dubious eyes of the two, Zhang Yan naturally explained to them with a wry smile.

"I'm not asking you to be officials with me, but to be scholars with me..."

"Simply put, I pay to support you and accept you as my disciples."

"But unlike those staff and advisers, I will not ask you to perform government affairs as my officials, but will give you a fixed salary every month, and at the same time allocate special funds for you every quarter or every year As a budget for your research."

"If you choose to follow me, you will be more carefree in both life and research environment than before, and it will allow you to concentrate more."

He explained aloud to the two people present that Zhang Yan actually had no intention of letting such a typical technical talent go under his own staff as an aide or an ordinary official. This was a waste of the other party's talents.

After hearing Zhang Yan's explanation, Zhang Ju's eyes became a little brighter in an instant.

"Oh? In this way, I have misunderstood your kindness, Marquis of Wan, this time. It is really a bit ridiculous."

"It's just that according to what you said, the Marquis of the Kingdom of Wan, if we go to you and study and study wholeheartedly according to our own ideas, then what good will this matter be for you, the Marquis of the Kingdom of Wan?"

Wei Wei asked Zhang Yan with some curiosity, after Zhang Ju heard what the other party said earlier, he suddenly felt a great emotion in his heart.After all, he has inherited all kinds of knowledge from his studies since he was a child, so he naturally knows how important an environment that allows him to immerse himself in the field of mathematics is for his future.

But after thinking about it, if Zhang Yan just blindly pays for their research, then it is obvious that this matter has almost no meaning to Zhang Yan, and it is naturally impossible to talk about the followers of the previous disciples.

If it is said that Zhang Yan is willing to pay to support them this time, but without any purpose, Zhang Ju naturally doesn't believe it.So after hesitating for a moment, he also directly asked the other party the question in his heart.

"I don't know if you do this, Marquis of Wan, what benefits will it have for you?"

"If we all acted according to our previous ideas, wouldn't it be equivalent to spending money to support two useless people?"

Hesitantly asked Zhang Yan, Zhang Ju was not that kind of fledgling scholar, so naturally he knew that there was no free lunch in the world, but he just guessed in his heart the real purpose of Zhang Yan wanting to accept himself and others as diners.

After hearing Zhang Ju's question, Zhang Yan first smiled slightly, and then explained loudly to the two people present as if he had expected the other party's question.

……

"If you say that I invited the two of you to join me this time, but there is no purpose, I definitely don't believe it with the knowledge of the two of you."

"It's just different from those ordinary needs. The reason why I want to invite you to be my disciples is that I hope that after you two have completed your studies, you can share the experience and the knowledge you have gained in the learning process. Selflessly pass it on to other people in the Lujiang area who are interested in this kind of knowledge."

Smiling and explaining to the two people present, Zhang Yan first explained his purpose, showing that he is definitely not the kind of person who wants nothing else, which made Zhang Ju and others relax.

And then, as if he remembered something, he spoke out again, and added an additional sentence in the direction of the two:

"In addition, it is definitely unrealistic to say that you are completely free to conduct research according to your own preferences. At that time, the Marquis will probably put forward some requirements for you as the direction of your future research."

"And these requirements will definitely be roughly related to your hobbies and expertise, and will not deviate too much."

To fully explain his purpose to the two, Zhang Yan actually wants to take these two under his command. The main purpose is to hope that they can study with peace of mind on his side, and as a pure academic staff, some "slightly "Science and technology that exceeds the current technical level of the Eastern Han Dynasty has been researched.

And if the other party is willing to pass on that knowledge in the form of teaching or accepting apprentices, a research and education position similar to that of a university professor in later generations is obviously the most suitable for these two.

After Zhang Yan went to Lujiang to take up his post, as long as the productivity and material reserves reached a certain level, basic education, enlightenment education, and the "School Palace", a place of higher education like the universities of later generations, would definitely be popularized in the Lujiang area. .

As the prefect of Lujiang, who has obtained the blueprint for the wonder construction of "The Great Royal Library of the Alexander Empire", and will definitely be able to open the exchange authority for the blueprint of the wonder construction of "National University" at a certain time in the future, he will establish a high-level talent education and technology research center. The "Lujiang University" that is the responsibility of oneself is obviously a matter of certainty.

His face began to gradually become full of confidence. Zhang Yan believed that as long as Zhang Ju was not a fool, he would naturally understand the new model of the country's funding for scientific research that he described to him.

For any scholar, this model must have extremely fatal gravitation and temptation for them in the somewhat turbulent era of the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

After looking at Zhang Ju's thoughtful face for a while, it seemed that he wanted to persuade the other party in one go, Zhang Yan then opened his mouth again and gave an example to the other party.

And this example obviously became the last straw that crushed Zhang Ju.

Chapter 52 Count? Dogs don't even count!

"Mr. Zhang, I will not hide it from you anymore. Since you also said that you want to annotate the two books handed down by your ancestors Zhang Heng and Zhang Pingzi, then as long as you are willing to follow me, I can promise you, When you join the job... that is, the first job after entering the working state is to thoroughly study the two mathematics books written by your ancestors, "Lingxianlun" and "Wangsuanlun" as soon as possible."

"And after the research is thorough, I will immediately order you to preside over the compilation of a "Ling Xian Wang Suan Lun Zhu". As long as your comment is completed, I will help you proofread your work for free, and at the same time contact scholars to copy a lot , from Lujiang under the rule of Benhou, it will be promoted and disseminated, so that this theory will never be lost, and this can be regarded as fulfilling a wish you have been insisting on for so many years."

"You should know that anyone who joins the Marquis' camp and is willing to serve him, whether it is a general or a scholar, will be given a gift by the Marquis, as a gift for the bond between us."

"It's like the horses and armor of several generals under my command. If Mr. Zhang, you are willing to agree to this Marquis..."

……

"No, this Marquis doesn't care about those things today, no matter whether you are willing to join me, Mr. Zhang, this time this Marquis will give you the book that was originally intended to be a gift between you and me, as a gift. It's a small service I've made to support your cause."

A series of bombshells came out of Zhang Yan's mouth. He first promised the other party that he would wholeheartedly support the other party in the mathematical research he loves.And then, after seeing Zhang Ju's expression became a little loose, Zhang Yan gritted his teeth and directly agreed to the other party to wait until the annotation was completed, and he would come forward to help contact a special person to proofread it, and even help the other party to write a book and argue .

After all, after Zhang Yan arrived in Lujiang, the big library was going to be completed, and the collection of tens of thousands of books must not be short of Zhang Ju's commentary.

As for the so-called copying of books, after Zhang Yan took out his hand to apply movable type printing, the work of batch printing is no longer difficult to complete.
