"What, Yang Dui, what difficulties have you encountered?" Li Xiu saw Yang Dui's desire to speak but stopped, thinking that he could not solve any difficulties. When Yang Nong passed away, Li Xiu also promised to take care of Yang Dui, so he immediately asked.

"No, the prince consort misunderstood. It's not that I encountered difficulties, but that I want to recommend someone to you!" Yang Dui waved his hands repeatedly. He is now the second-in-commander of the Ministry of Agriculture. He was originally a Xu Jingzong competing with him. However, some time ago, Xu Jingzong assisted Li Xiu in dispatching the supplies of the army, which was considered a great contribution. As a result, he was promoted to the Central Secretariat and no longer held the position of the Ministry of Agriculture. Li Xiu was not in charge of the affairs, so he was the de facto chief official of the Ministry of Agriculture. With Li Xiu under his belt, no one dared to provoke him.

"Recommended someone to me?" Li Xiu looked at Yang Dui in surprise when he heard this. He couldn't figure out why the other party was so good at recommending someone to him?

"Mr. Prince Consort, this school has been built, and it must be a teacher. In addition, it also needs someone to manage it. I just happened to have a suitable candidate here, so I want to recommend it to the Prince Consort!" Yang Dui finally expressed his purpose at this time. In fact, when he knew that Li Xiu was building the school, he already had this idea, so after the school was built, he would come here as soon as possible, just to wait for Li Xiu.

"Oh? I am indeed looking for people for the management of the school. I wonder who the person you are recommending?" Li Xiu immediately smiled and said with a smile. It is easier to find a teacher in the school. After all, Chang'an is a place where scholars all over the world gather, and the imperial examinations have been held before. Many candidates who failed the exam are stranded in Chang'an. It is easy to recruit people from them. However, the school also needs a manager, which is equivalent to the principal of later generations. Li Xiu has not found a suitable person for this.

"You have to report to the prince-consort, and there is indeed a suitable candidate for his subordinates. This person originally served as a doctor of mathematics in the Imperial College, but his personality is too square and offended some people. He was also excluded in the Imperial College. In the end, he resigned from his post and refused to do anything. He was about to go back to his hometown to work as a farmer. I happened to have a good relationship with him. When I heard that the prince-consort was going to build a school, I thought of him the first thing I thought of." Yang Dui explained with a smile.

"That's great. I don't worry about the person you recommend. I don't know when you will bring the person here to see me. If it's good, I'll let him take office after the New Year!" Li Xiu patted Yang Dui on the shoulder when he heard this and said, since it was recommended by Yang Dui himself, there should be no problem. Moreover, the other party was a doctor of the Imperial College before. Although he was only a ninth-rank official, it was enough to show his talent. After all, not everyone can enter the Imperial College.

"If the prince consort has time, I will bring him this afternoon so that he won't have to go back to his hometown!" Yang Dui said happily when he saw Li Xiu agreeing.

"Okay, I'll wait for you at home in the afternoon. You can bring the person when the time comes!" Li Xiu nodded immediately.

That afternoon, not long after Li Xiu had lunch, Yang Dui came to visit him with a man. When they entered the living room, Li Xiu realized that the person who came in was a middle-aged man of medium size. He looked over thirties, looked a little thin, had a very square face, and his facial features were like carved from a rock, looking very firm.

"Go to the prince-consort in the sky!" When the middle-aged man came in and saw Li Xiu, he immediately saluted him, and his face showed a bit of excitement. He had served as a doctorate in the Imperial College, so he was naturally very good at math. Li Xiu was also a famous math master of math in the Tang Dynasty. He had long wanted to come and pay homage, but he had no chance. Until today, Yang Dui found him and said that Li Xiu needed someone to manage the school, which made him agree without hesitation.

"Mr. Tian doesn't have to be too polite!" Li Xiu said with a smile, then asked him and Yang Dui to sit down, and asked someone to serve a tea ceremony. "I wonder where Mr. Tian is. Do you have any plans to live in Chang'an in the future?"

Li Xiu had a good first impression of Tian Chou, but he heard Yang Dui say that Tian Chou was planning to go back to his hometown, so he was worried that he would not work in the school for a long time, so he asked.

"I reported to the prince-consort, Tian is from Yangcheng, Henan Province. He originally worked in the Imperial College and his family lived in Chang'an. However, because of some things, Tian had to go back to his hometown to farm. However, he heard that the prince-consort needs someone to manage the school and was recommended by Brother Yang, so Tian came to try it out. If the prince-consort is willing to use it, then he naturally doesn't have to add it to his hometown."

Tian Chou said very respectfully at this time, and even put his attitude very low. This was not because of Li Xiu's identity, but because of Li Xiu's attainment in mathematics. It was precisely because of this reason that he wanted to get this position very much, so that he had the opportunity to ask Li Xiu for advice from time to time.

"Mr. Tian's ability to serve in the Imperial College is enough to show his talent. Speaking of which, I am also very curious about the Imperial College. It just so happened that my children in my family are at the age of going to school. I wonder if they can go to the Imperial College?" Li Xiu did not immediately promise to let Tian Chou stay, but instead asked about the Imperial College.

In the face of Li Xiu's inquiry, Tian Chou immediately answered. At this time, Li Xiu learned that the Imperial College was equivalent to a noble school. Students from different levels of origin could only study in different disciplines. For example, the highest Imperial College only accepts children from third ranks or above and grandchildren of the country, and students from second ranks or above and great-grandchildren of the country, while the second ranks of the Imperial College only accepts children from fifth ranks or above and county ranks or above. From third ranks, great-grandchildren, it can be said that the ranks are clear and not something that ordinary people can enter.

In addition, Li Xiu also learned that if you want to study in the Imperial College, you must complete the elementary school. For example, Jin'er and Ping'anlang have not even started primary school, and it is impossible to enter the Imperial College. After all, the Imperial College is equivalent to a university in later generations, and children who have not even studied in elementary school will naturally not be able to enter.

After asking about the Imperial College, Li Xiu learned about Tian Chou's attainments in mathology, which also made Tian Chou's eyes lit up. After answering Li Xiu's several questions, he took the initiative to take out some things he couldn't understand in mathology and asked for advice. Li Xiu also answered them one by one. Moreover, from these questions, Li Xiu found that Tian Chou's mathology was quite good. Although he was not as good as Li Chunfeng, he was also considered the most outstanding mathologist of this era.

"Okay, if Mr. Tian is willing, then stay in the school I built to serve as the mountain chief. What about the affairs of the Prime Minister's School?" Finally, Li Xiu finally made the decision. This Tian Chuang is quite good in terms of knowledge and character, so Li Xiu was very satisfied with him.
