Chapter 392: The Ministry of Household Shows Off
At this moment, she explained her idea using the theories mentioned in the arithmetic book.
Gan Lun: "..." I don't understand, but it sounds so powerful.
Seeing that the time was almost up, he resisted the urge to continue asking and said: "You go to class first, and then explain it to me after class is over."
"I am going to attend the auction with my master today. Master, won't you go?" Zhao Ruxi asked.
"If I don't go, I won't go." Gan Lun waved his hands, but he knew in his heart that he couldn't stop Zhao Ruxi from going.
He knew that Zhao Ruxi had a painting that was going to be auctioned. Kang Shilin had already shown it off in the academy.
Humph, it's great to take this girl as your apprentice.
"Master, I'm going to class." Zhao Ruxi stood up.
Gan Lun said hurriedly: "I will accept your cousin's student. What is his name?"
No matter how many problems Zhao Ruxi solved for him, he owed Zhao Ruxi many favors. No matter how stupid her cousin was, he had to accept it.
"Zhao Jingli." Zhao Ruxi wrote Zhao Jingli's name, "When is it convenient for you? I will take him to salute you."
"I don't have class tomorrow afternoon, so you can bring him here when you have time," Mr. Gan said.
Both of them knew that Zhao Jingli was learning from Gan Lun, just like these students in the academy. The relationship between them was just an ordinary teacher-student relationship, not a more intimate master-disciple relationship.
Whether Gan Lun can really accept Zhao Jingli as his disciple in the future depends on Zhao Jingli's character and learning talent.
After Zhao Ruxi left, Gan Lun patiently finished the class and hurried out of the academy, urging the coachman: "Take me back to Beijing to the Ministry of Finance, please hurry."
The coachman thought he had some urgent business to deal with, and felt strange in his heart. After all, his old man had been in office for two or three years.
He did not dare to delay, and drove the carriage very fast, so that he could deliver Gan Lun to the Ministry of Finance in front of the lower office.
As soon as he entered the Yamen, Gan Lun met Qi Xugu, the Minister of Household Affairs.
Qi Xugu was only five or six years younger than Gan Lun, so they were almost the same age. They both worked as junior officials in the Ministry of Household Affairs and had a good personal relationship.
It's just that Gan Lun was obsessed with arithmetic and was not good at dealing with interpersonal relationships, so he only became a doctor of the fifth rank. Qi Xugu was good at dancing, and finally took the position of Minister of Household Affairs when Gan Lun became an official.
Qi Xugu didn't put on airs in front of Gan Lun. When he saw Gan Lun, he smiled and said, "Master Gan, have you solved any problems again?"
In the past, Gan Lun liked to study the difficult problems accumulated by the Ministry of Finance over the years. During this period, he frequently came to the Ministry of Finance to look for them. When he solved them, he would bring them to the Ministry of Finance to show off. Qi Xugu was already familiar with his routine.
When Qi Xugu revealed his intention, Gan Lun didn't feel disappointed.
He laughed and said, "That's not true. Hey, you won't be able to guess which question my student solved."
"Which one? Is it the most difficult one? You can do it, Mr. Gan. You have solved the problems that our household department has had for so many years." Qi Xugu said with a smile.
"Hehe..." Gan Lun smiled proudly, but shook his head and said, "But I told you, it wasn't me who solved it, it was my students who solved it."
"Okay, okay, it's not you, it's your student, okay?" Qi Xugu said.
He didn't believe a word Gan Lun said.
Gan Lun is one of the more powerful arithmetic masters in their household department, on par with Guo Jitong. Gan Lun didn't solve these problems. Could it be that his students really solved them? Don't be kidding.
Gan Lun was helpless when he saw this.
Zhao Ruxi originally warned her that she could solve the problem, but there was one condition: when he talked about these ideas for solving the problem outside, don't mention her name. She said that she was famous for her paintings, and she planned to do something like Dali Temple.
Many people couldn't stand her bad job, and it would not be good for her to become famous in mathematics.
Although Gan Lun was not good at flattery, he had been in official circles all his life and was very knowledgeable about worldly affairs.
He felt that Zhao Ruxi understood clearly and what he said made sense.
Even if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them.
Zhao Ruxi was young and a woman. It was not good for her to be too strong in the limelight. She could neither be an official nor teach in academies. On the contrary, the disadvantages were not small. Either she was coveted because she was too good, or she suffered from jealousy.
Suppress.
Princess Xiangyang, the daughter of Concubine Jin, is praised by the world for her talent in arithmetic. Even if Zhao Ruxi is Mr. Kumu's apprentice and outshines Princess Xiangyang, life will never be easy.
So when Gan Lun showed off his ideas for solving problems, he only talked about what his students had done.
He has taught many students. Among the disciples he has accepted is one who is an official in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and several others are teaching in the academy. Their arithmetic skills are not bad. No one can guess who he is when he says this.
Come.
Unexpectedly, people like Hubu didn't believe it. They all thought that he figured it out by himself and made the students famous. Otherwise, why didn't the students' names be mentioned? Who else wouldn't want to admit such a famous thing?
"Go, call the adults from the Ministry of Finance who are not busy, and listen together." Qi Xugu said to his entourage.
As the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he was very willing to let the officials of the Ministry of Revenue improve their arithmetic skills. Gan Lun solved these difficult problems, which also helped him a lot.
When the two of them were about to reach Qi Xugu's house, Qi Xugu saw Guo Jitong coming out of the room next to him, and quickly called him: "Master Guo, come here, and you can also come and listen to the problem solved by Master Gan.
"
"Okay, sir." Guo Jitong responded with a smile on his face, then turned to greet Gan Lun, "Sir Gan is so awesome. I heard that you have solved a lot of difficult problems during this time."
"It wasn't me who figured it out, it was my student." Gan Lun had a pale look on his face.
The smile on Guo Jitong's face did not change, and he praised: "Student? Which student? You are really better than me."
Qi Xugu also looked at Gan Lun expectantly.
He really hoped that Gan Lun's students had solved the problem.
If there was such a talent, he wouldn't need to support Guo Jitong.
Guo Jitong's money-making style makes few people think highly of him as long as he is a gentleman.
But he is very talented and good at studies, and he has to go to the Ministry of Revenue when there are difficulties, so even if he is not used to it, he can't do anything to him. As the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Qi Xugu sometimes has to support him, so as not to
If he gives up his job, then he will not be able to arrange his work, and he will be the one who is in trouble.
If Gan Lun's student was so good, even if he was not a Jinshi, Qi Xugu would be willing to transfer him to the household department. When the time comes, if he wants Guo Jitong to go, he can let him go, and he will no longer have to support this person with bad conduct.
"Haha, she is still young. It is not a good thing to become famous too early, so I can't say." Gan Lun said haha.
Qi Xugu suddenly looked disappointed.
At this time, other officials from the Ministry of Revenue came to Qi Xugu's house one after another.
Chapter completed!
