Chapter 11                                                             �

The reason why Zhou Mengchen did not reject these people was that he realized that the group of people in the Imperial Heaven Supervision had some shortcomings, but in a sense, they were the people closest to science. Not to mention anything else, most of their math disciples were not too bad.

A considerable number of people can get rid of "Pythagorean Solution" by themselves, that is, their math level has reached the level of high school students in later generations.

Of course, it's just about the same.

After all, these people are somewhat proficient in subject matter, and in some aspects, college students in later generations are not as good as those in some aspects. In some aspects, a junior high school student can understand better than them.

But apart from these people, it is difficult for Zhou Mengchen to find a group that is more suitable for science than them.

Even if you are aware of the science, although a considerable number of people in various places in the Ming Dynasty did not have a poor level of mathematics. However, there is a dense group with good mathematics, but no one can surpass the Imperial Heaven Supervision.

What is the most important thing in the twenty-one world?

Talent.

The same was true during the Jiajing period.

How many things can Zhou Mengchen do alone? After all, he is not a humanoid computer. In terms of mathematical verification, a person has his limits. When Zhou Mengchen was in Wuchang, Cheng Dawei helped him a lot. But Cheng Dawei himself was a mathematical genius.

It is not easy for Zhou Mengchen to cultivate another person like this.

Liu Xiushui's performance proves this.

This junior brother has already made Cheng Dawei feel desperate. He can't teach him no matter how much. Of course, it cannot be said that he has not made any progress, but he is as smooth as silk as Professor Zhou Mengchen, and can be as clear as a little. Professor Cheng Dawei Liu Xiushui is like sailing against the current, picking gold in the sand.

This made Zhou Mengchen understand.

It’s not that he has a bad IQ, but that people like Cheng Dawei are also exceptional in this era. Most people are the same when facing mathematics.

Similarly, Zhou Mengchen's idea of ​​quickly cultivating mathematical talents was also shattered.

However, Zhou Mengchen needs a large number of basic mathematical talents. Not to mention anything else, Zhou Mengchen cannot handle the calculations of many large-scale engineering projects alone. Without enough mathematical talents, any kind of scientific development is a castle in the air.

The easiest mathematical talents to obtain are the group of people in the Imperial Heaven Supervision.

These people have a mathematical foundation. Zhou Mengchen doesn't have to lay a foundation for them, nor even teach any mathematical principles. He can directly throw out a calculation method and become an excellent calculation unit for Zhou Mengchen. Zhou Mengchen will naturally not give up.

"It really doesn't work." Zhou Mengchen thought silently in his heart: "My personal shame is nothing."

But what Zhou Mengchen didn't understand very much? What did Yang Hongliang understand again? He asked, "What do you understand?"

Yang Hongliang said: "The master's astronomy and calendar calculation method is the best in the world. How can he become a master's disciple casually? They are not qualified. In my opinion, the master is willing to teach it. It is a great master to be magnanimous, so that they can become a master's name. It is already good."

Zhou Mengchen didn't know what to say for a moment?

The ancient master-apprentice system, such as Cheng Dayi, Liu Xiushui and Yang Hongliang, was the mastermind or the disciples of Zhou Mengchen. However, in ancient times, in addition to the personal mastermind, many people also had a large number of disciples who were not included in the sect. They were just teaching casually.

Many great scholars are taught, and many people come to listen to them. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are listening to the lectures by someone.

Zhou Mengchen did not want to accept disciples, but wanted to take the people in the Imperial Heaven Prison for their own use. This seemed to be a good idea.

But Zhou Mengchen always had a strange feeling and said in his heart: "Do I also need true disciples, inner disciples, outer disciples, and closed disciples in the future?" He always had a ridiculous feeling, but this should be the best solution now.

Even if Zhou Mengchen felt strange, no matter how strange it was.

He also refused the solution, saying, "Yes, that's it. Just arrange it."

"Yes." Yang Hongliang said.

So, when Zhou Mengchen taught Yang Hongliang, Yang Hongliang was no longer alone in front of him.

Instead, Zhou Mengchen sat in the main hall, with three tables in the main hall, namely Cheng Dawei, Liu Xiushui and Yang Hongliang. As for the other twenty or thirty people, they stood outside and listened.

The Imperial Heaven Supervisory has been unable to bear the stigma. The people who came are the younger generation, and they grew up with Yang Hongliang since childhood. After Yang Hongliang's introduction, almost only Yang Hongliang's leader was followed. Of course, Zhou Mengchen offended Wu Heng ruthlessly, so the Wu family did not come.

Zhou Mengchen adhered to the attitude of rushing a sheep and rushing a sheep, and did not take these things seriously.

He just wanted to plant scientific ideas deeply in the Imperial Heaven Prison.

However, Zhou Mengchen did not expect that his will undoubtedly lay the foundation for a powerful university faction for more than a hundred years. This is a later story.

Zhou Mengchen teaches and reads every day.

Zhou Mengchen slowly involved Cheng Dawei in teaching his disciples. After all, Cheng Dawei's math level was enough to teach them. Zhou Mengchen spent part of his time studying the collection of books in the Imperial Heaven and even the Dawei.

The collection of books in the Imperial Heaven Supervision itself is very impressive.

It can be said that most ancient astronomical scriptures, as well as astronomical observation records from the Song and Yuan dynasties, are included here.

For those who are unintentional, these are all piles of old papers. But for those who are intent, this is a precious treasure.

It should be noted that even in later generations, astronomical materials from ancient China still played a role.

Moreover, although the Imperial Heavenly Prison is no longer able to do now, it has a special status at the beginning of its founding. Even now, the Imperial Heavenly Prison still has a special power, which is to borrow books from the Great Insider, including the Yongle Ceremony.

Zhou Mengchen studied and taught, and his life was peaceful.

But after a long time, he became a little anxious.

You know, he did not come here to be a mere eighth-rank official. Instead, he spreads his thoughts and wants to make a difference in the world. But now, he has been in the capital for so long, and there are more than 30 disciples. In the palace, it seems like a stone sinks to the sea.

There is no news at all.

Zhou Mengchen was nervous.

However, Zhang Juzheng did not have a deep conversation with him during this period. Instead, he went out early and came back late every day, and didn’t know what he was busy with?

On this day, Zhou Mengchen finally blocked Zhang Juzheng and asked, "Brother Zhang, what have you been doing recently?"

Zhang Juzheng said: "Nothing? It's just a visit to Liulichang and see if there are any new books on the market."

Zhou Mengchen could not see any clues on Zhang Juzheng's face, but he didn't believe that Zhang Juzheng had really done nothing during the period of time in the capital.

However, he did not ask in detail. He believed that Zhang Juzheng would handle it himself, and if he needed to tell him, he would not be polite. He just took a deep breath, told his troubles in detail, and said, "Brother Zhang, we have been in the capital for more than a month. For such a long time, Your Majesty has not seen me? Has Your Majesty forgotten this matter?"

"I've inquired about it. He Weibai has been dismissed from office and returned home. Ge Lao Yan was fined. This matter has been considered over."

"What did your Majesty think?"

Zhang Juzheng looked at Zhou Mengchen and said, "Aren't you doing a good job?"

"Question marks" almost popped up from Zhou Mengchen's forehead?" He didn't understand why Zhang Juzheng said that?

Zhang Juzheng laughed in silence and said, "This is not the status of speaking? We speak inside."

Zhang Juzheng led Zhou Mengchen to his room, looked around, closed the doors and windows, and confirmed that no one could eavesdrop, and then asked: "Brother Zhou, you have been in the capital for so long and have also heard a lot about Your Majesty? What kind of person do you think Your Majesty is now?"

After hearing this, Zhou Mengchen fell into deep thought. He didn't know how to answer this question for a moment?

Emperor Jiajing was an emperor who was difficult to summarize throughout ancient history. Zhou Mengchen thought about it for half a day, and after thinking about it, he said three words: "Smart people."
