The fact that books can be printed by the official is usually only possible if the imperial court finds books specially written by powerful people.

However, Zhao Ce's arithmetic writing is simple and easy to understand, and even illiterate people can learn it.

Liu Daxia also highly praised this book.

Recently, he took advantage of his free time to help Zhao Ce proofread. The more he proofreads, the more he sighed at the magic of this book.

It's not because of how profound it is.

It is precisely because this book is so easy to understand.

Reading and writing is a difficult task for ordinary people.

It is even more difficult to learn arithmetic.

However, Zhao Ce's books changed these complex numbers into simple and easy-to-understand symbols.

With easy-to-understand and catchy formulas, even for those who don’t know how to read, it’s perfectly OK to learn these.

Since Emperor Taizu, the Ming Dynasty has been popularizing basic mathematics.

But no matter how popular this is, the effect is minimal.

Now that this book is available, the effect of promoting it will definitely be twice the result with half the effort!

After Liu Daxia proofread the book, he sent it to the palace with his memorial.

......

Inside the warm cabinet.

Emperor Hongzhi was discussing the issue of disaster relief with several cabinet masters.

Prince Zhu Houzhao listened aside and was drowsy.

Recently, what he has to learn has increased dramatically, and the daily learning tasks have become so heavy.

In order to train him, Emperor Hongzhi also asked him to study and follow him to handle political affairs.

It’s not his turn, the prince, to make the decisions in these major national affairs.

So he could only listen while dozing off.

While discussing the matter, the few people passed the memorials in their hands to the emperor.

Emperor Hongzhi had just finished reading a memorial to report the disaster, and Xie Qian from the other side suddenly said, "Shangshu Liu's memorial also comes with a book?"

After saying that, the rest of the people turned to Xie Qian curiously.

The memorial in Xie Qian's hand was written by Liu Daxia, Minister of War.

Since last year, Liu Daxia has been advocating the abolition of the old military system and improving the treatment of ordinary soldiers.

Now, they naturally believe that this memorial is a memorial about the deduction of food and winter supplies by frontier soldiers.

"This memorial by Shangshu Liu is not for the Ministry of War."

"I didn't expect that Secretary Liu would proofread these miscellaneous books, and even handed the memorials himself."

Xie Qian glanced at the cover of the book and said something novel.

Thinking of Liu Daxia's sharp memorials in the past, but with a book "Basic Mathematics", Emperor Hongzhi was also a little confused.

He personally took the memorial and read it carefully.

After reading it, he put the memorial in his hand aside and looked at the book in his hand.

The three cabinet masters sitting beside him were already flipping through the remaining memorials.

"Author: Zhao Ce, essayer: Liu Daxia..."

Emperor Hongzhi chanted softly. When he heard the name, Li Dongyang, who was beside him, subconsciously looked up at the book in his hand.

Since it was presented by Liu Daxia, the emperor must take a closer look.

Opening the book, Emperor Hongzhi glanced at the front.

Numbers, symbols, simple and easy to remember multiplication tables, basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division examples...

The content gradually goes from shallow to deeper, and with the ordinary arithmetic level of Emperor Hongzhi himself, he can still see it clearly when he sees it all the way.

After reading it, Emperor Hongzhi praised: "So arithmetic can be so easy to learn?"

After saying that, he showed the arithmetic book in his hand to the people in front of him with some joy.

While they were looking through, Emperor Hongzhi said: "This book is simple and easy to understand. If it is used to enlighten young children and teach illiterate people, it will definitely be of great effect."

Now the Ministry of Revenue uses the loan and credit accounting method that Zhao Ce had previously sent.

They are naturally familiar with this number.

It was the content in the book that made the ministers present frown slightly.

After roughly finishing, Li Dongyang murmured: "Can arithmetic be so simple and easy to learn?"

The previous accounting method surprised Emperor Hongzhi.

Nowadays, there is no doubt that even illiterate children can understand this arithmetic book.

If this book can be really promoted, it will be a merit of education for the people!

After several days of arrangements for disaster relief, the several people who were worried finally showed a relaxed smile.

Although the disaster has not yet eased, at least they have received a pretty good news.

The low pressure for several days has finally been easier.

Several people looked at this arithmetic book and began to be excited to verify it.

"Although this book looks simple and easy to understand, we are all people with some arithmetic foundation."

"To understand the real beauty of this book, it is better to find someone who is not good at this to try it out."

Xie Qian's words were unanimously recognized by everyone.

Several people glanced at him and their eyes fell on the prince Zhu Houzhao who had just woken up from sleep.

Zhu Houzhao felt the eyes of everyone falling on him, her head was a little confused, but her body subconsciously sat upright.

Just as I was about to ask what was going on, a book was stuffed by my father in front of me.

"Prince, look at this book."

"Oh." Zhu Houzhao lowered her head obediently, and then saw the number that made him hate him very much.

When the previous method of credit and accounting was first learned by the Ministry of Revenue, my father asked me to study it day and night!

Now that he suddenly saw this number, he subconsciously remembered the various debit and lender data calculations.

Zhu Houzhao raised her head and asked carefully: "Father... I've finished reading..."

Emperor Hongzhi said expressionlessly: "Calculate this number."

After saying that, on the paper beside him, a new formula was set up again according to the example in Zhao Ce's book.

Zhu Houzhao took this formula and glanced at the examples in the book with a blank look, and quickly figured out the same method.

Emperor Hongzhi looked through the following examples and gave him a few more difficult questions.

Zhu Houzhao compared the examples in the book and quickly calculated them one by one.

He didn't understand some of these questions, so he subconsciously wrote them according to the examples in the book.

After finishing writing, he looked up at a group of people who were excited to watch him, and Zhu Houzhao laughed dryly.

"Write, wrong?"

Emperor Hongzhi patted his prince's shoulder with satisfaction.

"Yes, it's all right."

Xie Qian nodded and said honestly: "Using the understanding of His Royal Highness the Prince, you can do these questions according to the examples at once, which shows how simple and easy-to-understand the examples in the book are."

Liu Jian subconsciously nodded, and Li Dongyang coughed lightly.

Emperor Hongzhi also chuckled and said, "Since that's the case, then according to the meaning of Shangshu Liu, he will be sent to each prefecture after official seals, and then printed to each prefecture by the prefecture."

"In this way, after spring plowing, you must have a copy in every village in the Ming Dynasty."

All the people agreed and began to discuss other issues with great enthusiasm.

Zhu Houzhao looked at the people in front of him in a daze, then looked down at the formula on the white paper.
Chapter completed!
