In Qiu county, Fanyang County, the ancestral family is a famous local family. Of course, there is the grace of the ancestors of the ancestral family. However, hundreds of years have passed, and the ancestral family has gradually declined.
However, after Zu Mingjun created the parabola, the Zu family gradually had the momentum of ZTE, and Zu Mingjun became the hope of the Zu family. Only in the year of weak crown, his position in the Zu family has been pivotal.
"Hello, young master!" Zu Mingjun walked out of the courtyard, and the servants of the Zu family saluted one after another.
Zu Mingjun nodded and asked, "has this issue of Ink magazine arrived?"
The steward of the ancestral house quickly handed over a copy of Ink magazine and said, "I inform you, the ink magazine has just arrived, and the old slave is preparing to send it to the young master?"
Another reason why Zu Mingjun is famous in Qiu county is that he is a close friend of Mozi. Merton is famous for his novel Liang Zhu. Even in Qiu county, it is well known. He is often asked about Mozi.
Zu Mingjun took over the ink magazine. The first issue of the ink magazine in Chang''an city was only a penny. However, when he arrived in Fanyang County, an ink magazine was full of twenty Wen. Although the price is not cheap, it is in short supply.
Although some restaurants and teahouses do not buy 20 copies at once, one for each table, as pan''s restaurants do, they often buy one ink magazine and put it in the store to attract customers, but one ink magazine is not enough for people to see, which has created a career, that is, doctor of newspaper reading.
Some literate people are invited by the restaurant and teahouse to read newspapers in the store. For everyone, it is a great enjoyment to drink tea in the teahouse, listen to newspapers and periodicals and understand national affairs. Especially after Liang Zhu''s publication, people are never tired of hearing it, and they are often overcrowded.
This issue is the finale of Liang Zhu. It can be said that the whole country is looking forward to this ink magazine. This issue of Ink magazine has just arrived in Qiu county and was immediately robbed. Zu Mingjun was lucky to keep one because he paid a deposit in advance.
After watching the finale of Liang Zhu, Zu Mingjun reluctantly put down the ink magazine in his hand and looked through all the ink magazines after returning from Chang''an city. From the annual report of Mojia village to the night of the Lantern Festival, to the ink technology exhibition, and then to Liang Zhu, he couldn''t help sighing.
"It seems that brother Mo had a wonderful life in Chang''an city!" Zu Mingjun looked at his boring life day after day in his hometown, which was suddenly dull.
"Da Da!"
A swift horse''s hoof startled the tranquility of Qiu county. A post soldier rode a tall horse and went straight to the ancestral house.
"Excuse me, this is the ancestral house!" the post soldier ran down the horse road.
"Exactly! I don''t know what''s the matter with the messenger!" the steward of the ancestral house looked at the Posthouse suspiciously. He didn''t understand how the Posthouse could find the ancestral family.
"This is the letter of call from Chang''an city to call the ancestors and famous kings into Chang''an city." the post soldier shouted.
"The call up letter of Chang''an city!" the ancestral home was soon disturbed.
"Is it the call of the imperial court? Hurry and invite the young master here." the ancestral family leader who heard the news quickly shouted.
Soon! Zu Mingjun came in a daze. He was not outstanding in the Imperial College at that time. Except for arithmetic, most of the others were ordinary. He couldn''t think of his ability to be recruited by the imperial court.
"Xiaosheng is zumingjun!" zumingjun arched his hands.
Seeing Zu Mingjun, the Posthouse soldier reached out and handed him a letter: "this time, the firearm supervisor recruited master Zu."
"Firearm supervisor, brother Mo!" Zu Mingjun suddenly realized.
However, the Zujia people frowned. They thought that the imperial court had recruited the zumingjun to be an official, but who could have thought that it was the firearm supervisor of mojiazi.
The post soldier nodded and said, "Marquis Mo asked the villain to bring a word to master Zu. There is a famous arithmetic knowledge that needs to be studied for thousands of years. Do you have any interest?"
"The famous knowledge of arithmetic through the ages." the ancestral family suddenly brightened their eyes. Their ancestral family started with arithmetic, and a parabola benefited the ancestral family a lot. If they can study a profound arithmetic, they will not be able to reproduce the glory of their ancestors.
"Ballistics!" Zu Mingjun opened the letter and showed it to the ancestors.
"Isn''t this a stone throwing soldier?" the second uncle of the ancestral family despised him.
"No, Mingjun is the hope of my ancestral family. The ancestral family is going to let Mingjun train for several years and find an official and a half post for him. How can he enter the army and be a big soldier." many people of the ancestral family shook their heads one after another.
Zu Mingjun explained, "this is not to join the military, but to assist the firearms supervisor in studying the catapult so that the catapult can accurately hit the target. After the successful development, naturally, the younger generation will naturally leave the firearms supervisor, and my ancestral family can obtain a new mathematics."
The third room of the Zu family shook his head and said, "the kindness of the Mo Hou has been accepted by the Zu family, but now the situation of the Mo family is not clear. How can my Zu family rashly stand in line."
Now the debate between Confucianism and Mohism is back in the limelight. Their ancestors are bent on studying mathematics. Naturally, they don''t want to participate in it. If they rashly stand on the side of Mohism, I''m afraid it will be disadvantageous to their ancestors!
At the thought of the dispute between Confucianism and Mohism, many people of the ancestral family immediately flinched.
"Well, don''t argue any more. This is about Mingjun''s future. First ask him what he thinks!" the owner of the ancestral family looked at him and said.
Zu Mingjun bowed and said, "your elders, my ancestral family has gradually declined since our ancestors. Our ancestors'' conjugation skills are extremely advanced, but there are few people who will meet. Over time, I''m afraid there are only my ancestral family songs and high and low, nothing!"
All the elders of the ancestral family immediately looked unhappy. Although they usually had higher eyes than the top and thought that the ancestral family was a master of mathematics, they could not deny that the ancestral family had declined.
"Because the ancestral family''s arithmetic is profound, but it is not practical. I once witnessed the rise of Mohism in Chang''an city. Why? Because Mohism promotes useful learning. Usefulness will not be forgotten or abandoned." Zu Mingjun enlightens the deaf.
All the ancestors of the ancestral family immediately thought deeply.
"But isn''t arithmetic useless? I heard that brother Mo was in the imperial court and used it to calculate the population in a hundred years, so as to change the marriage law of the imperial court. Isn''t this the use of arithmetic? Isn''t this ballistics my grandmaster? Dr. Shen of Chang''an City, even brother Mo, can''t calculate it as long as he is willing to work hard." grandmaster said proudly.
The Zujia people nodded sadly. It is undeniable that Shen Hongcai and Mo Jiazi have won a lot of Zujia at least in mathematics.
"Brother Mo''s words are not bad. This is the arithmetic knowledge that has been spread all over the world. As long as it is useful to the catapult, it will use ballistics. This is the usefulness of arithmetic. Now it is the Mohist school that has given our ancestral family an opportunity to show the usefulness of arithmetic, not asking our ancestral family, and we are not qualified to pick and choose here." Zu Mingjun shouted.
"Well said!" the master of the ancestral family nodded and said, "the foundation of the ancestral family is arithmetic. Now, driven by the Mohist school, hundreds of schools of thought are gradually rising. If arithmetic does not separate and catch up, I''m afraid it will sink again. Now there is a knowledge of arithmetic in front of us. How can the ancestral family miss it? If heaven doesn''t take it, it will be blamed."
"The master of the house is wise!" Zu Mingjun said happily.
"The ancestral family does not participate in the dispute between Confucianism and Mohism, but it is related to arithmetic. The ancestral family can''t miss it anyway. Immediately prepare a horse and send the ancestral king to Chang''an city." the master of the ancestral family said,
Zu Mingjun shook his head and said, "no, brother Mo has arranged it. Brother Mo enlisted the child with the help of the imperial court. The child can take a post horse and go straight to Luoyang. After Luoyang, he will be picked up by a carriage in Mojia village."
Sure enough! When Zu Mingjun simply cleaned up and walked out of the gate of Zu''s house, he really saw that the post soldiers had been waiting here.
"Brother Mo knows me too!" Zu Mingjun laughed, turned on his horse and went straight to Chang''an city.
