Daqin: Assist Zulong at the beginning and become a public enemy

Chapter 224 Working hard together

Chapter 224 Working hard together

Prime Minister's House.

Li Si and his eldest son Li You were sitting together, and in front of him were the three math questions that Ying had just asked.

"Father, the first problem is easy to solve, but the second and third problems are really too difficult."

Li Si nodded and kept his gaze on the table.

Since the founding of Taixue, he has felt a great crisis.

Because of the rebellion everywhere outside the pass, the empire temporarily abandoned most of the cities and lands outside the pass. For this reason, Li You also retired from the position of prefect of Sanchuan County, and now he is at home.

The Li family grew stronger due to the rise of Li Si, and Li's descendants spread across many counties in Daqin.

If the children of the Meng family and the Wang family occupied the imperial army, then the children of the Li family controlled the political situation of the entire empire.

But now, Li Si discovered that Ying Zheng seemed to be deliberately suppressing the Li family, and even scholars and officials who had a relationship with Li Si were demoted one after another.

"No matter how difficult it is, we have to figure it out. After all, this is our last hope."

Li You saw his father's stern words, and his face was a little sad.

"Father, have you thought about leaving Qin?"

Li Si was taken aback by Li You's words. Looking at Li You, Li Si's eyes revealed a hint of confusion.

"What do you mean?"

"Father, you may wish to think about it. Didn't Wen Xinhou leave Xianyang because of His Majesty's suspicion? Now that your father is also suspected by His Majesty, you might as well learn from Wen Xinhou to advance by retreating, and go to the table first, and wait until the court is in chaos. , let His Majesty beg you to come back."

Li Si snorted coldly: "If I leave, do you still have life to come back? Yu'er, I thought my father had trained you enough, but now it seems that it is not enough."

Li You showed doubts on his face, but he didn't dare to have any objection to his father's criticism, so he could only lower his head and agree.

"Remember, power is not the same as money. Money is gone, but as long as there is a means to make money, money will naturally come back. But once power is lost, there is absolutely no possibility of it coming back. So, this time no matter what , my Li family must at least occupy the dean of one of the eight courtyards."

"My child understands."

There is also a calculation scene in the Mohist General Academy.

As soon as the Six-Fingered Black Man learned the selection rules of the School of Mathematics, he summoned all the disciples of the Mo family who were good at calculations to Xianyang.

His purpose is very simple, that is, to take advantage of this selection to control the School of Mathematics in his own hands.

He is very clear that he is not the only one who has this idea, and other people from all schools of thought must also have this plan.

Now it depends on who is faster, who can occupy more resources, and who can continue to grow in the future.

"Juzi, I haven't seen such a scene for many years." Master Ban stroked his beard and looked at the scene in front of him with a smile.

"Yes!"

The Black Man with Six Fingers looked at the scene in front of him with a lot of emotion.

The Mo family has always been known for keeping a low profile, especially at the end of the Warring States Period, even Mo Xia, who was often seen in the past, is hard to find.

Once upon a time, the Black Man with Six Fingers also thought that the decline of the Mo family was just around the corner, but he did not expect that Ying Gang's appearance completely saved them.

"Sir, I have solved these three problems."

Six Fingers Heixia looked back and saw a boy standing there with a smile on his face.

"Qin Benxi, have you solved it?"

The young man in front of him is a descendant of Qin Huali, the great disciple of Mozi, the founder of Mohism.

Qin Huali has a very high reputation in the Mohist school. As the second great son of the Mohist family, although he did not inherit all the strength of the master of Mozi, he also made the Mohist family grow stronger.

It is precisely because of his prestige that future generations had to stay in the Mo family.

In Qin Benxi's generation, the family's talents have withered, and they have been completely reduced to ordinary children of the Mohist school.

"Yes, I have solved all three questions."

Heixia Six Fingers had an excited expression on his face when he heard the words, he waved his hand and said, "Quick, show me the answer."

Qin Benxi gave the answer to Six Fingers Heixia, and told him his thinking on solving the problem.

Heixia Six Fingers suddenly realized after hearing this, looked at Qin Benxi in front of him and said, "My good boy, you have already solved such a problem, good, good!"

Master Ban looked at Qin Benxi in front of him and asked, "How old are you this year?"

"The disciple is 13 years old this year."

"13 years old!" A trace of sadness flashed in the eyes of the six-fingered black man.

The dean of the Eighth Academy is at least a window for Qin to publicize to the outside world. Although there is no specific age requirement, Ying Zheng will definitely not allow a teenager to hold such an important position.

"When Gan Luo was 12 years old, he was Minister of Foreign Affairs of Qin Dynasty. You are 13 years old. You can also be called a child prodigy!"

When Qin Benxi was told by the master class, he felt a little embarrassed, and stood aside silently.

Master Ban just turned his head and saw the six-fingered black man beside him frowning, and asked softly, "Why does the giant have such an expression? Do you think I'm wrong?"

Six Fingers Heixia sighed softly, "Too young."

"what?"

"Too young! Think about it, although Qin Benxi's talent is outstanding, his age is really not enough to convince the public! Since the Taixue Order has been divided into the Eighth Academy, and it is still selecting suitable people from all over the world to inherit the number The dean of the academy, what he wants must be some people with high prestige who can teach his children. How can Qin Benxi's age deter those people?"

The smile on Qin Benxi's face slowly dissipated when he heard this.

What Six Fingers Heixia said is indeed true. My age is indeed the biggest problem. It would be fine if the Mathematics Academy is full of people of the same age as me, but if there are gray-haired old men, how should I order them? How to teach each other.

The master class laughed out loud when he heard it.

"Why are you laughing, am I wrong?"

The master class shook his head: "The words are correct, but the giant has forgotten one very important thing."

"Oh?"

"We are just selecting some talented people from among our disciples to participate in the re-examination at that time. As for whether Benxi can be selected, this problem should be considered by Tai Xueling and His Majesty. What are we thinking so much about here? And His Majesty's will said that the selection of talents is not only to choose the dean, but also to select some professors and disciples of the Mathematics Academy. With Benxi's talent, even if he can't be the dean, it is always impossible to be a teacher and disciple. problem!"

"Benxi, what do you think?"

Qin Benxi became anxious immediately, looking at the two people in front of him, he quickly argued: "Young master, Master Ban, I, Qin Benxi, am a disciple of the Mohist school, how can I go to other courtyards."

The Black Man with Six Fingers waved his hand: "We are all in the Tai Academy now, and we are all the same people. In the future, there will be no distinction between family backgrounds, but only different knowledge. You really wronged your talent in the Mohist School. Going to the Mathematics Academy It is your best destination. This matter is settled like this, I will report your name today, you should study hard and prepare for the re-examination after a while."

Qin Benxi saw that the giant was so determined, so he didn't say any more.
