Ruikangdi thought about it and felt that it was not impossible.
Anyway, the pen name looks very neutral, and when students see it, they will probably subconsciously think that Mr. Xia Hua is a man.
Ling Jiheng also knew that this was unfair to Chi Xingyue. But if he didn't do this, the book might never have a chance to be published.
Besides, even if Chi Xingyue’s name was really signed, would it be fair to Arabia or ancient India?
This world is not black and white.
Ruikangdi flipped through the book with great interest, and humbly asked for advice on the parts he didn't understand.
Ling Jiheng answered them one by one.
Seeing that the content on the pages was becoming more and more complicated, Ruikangdi closed the book and gently stroked the cover with his fingers.
"My dear, please go back first. I want to study this book carefully."
Ling Jiheng nodded and retreated, and found that the palace servants in the Yangxin Palace were very respectful to him.
Ling Jiheng didn't care and returned to the Hanlin Academy to continue his work.
Emperor Ruikang sat on the dragon throne for a long time before he took the book "Mathematics of the Great Zhou" to find the retired emperor.
I told the emperor my thoughts.
The emperor felt a little embarrassed, but was very tempted. He simply told him to keep the book and study it himself.
Then call over several Grand Secretaries who are good at math, and several Shangshu from the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Works, etc.
Let’s see if the methods recorded in this mathematics book can really solve real-world problems conveniently and quickly.
The palace, without Ling Jiheng's knowledge, became busy.
The adults, having just come across these distorted numbers, frowned and said, "What the hell is going on here?"
I thought learning how to use an abacus was better than learning how to add and subtract. My fingers snapped and in a short while, I had finished the account book.
As we read on, the numbers became more complex and the content became more profound, and we suddenly felt that this thing was really useful.
Most computing problems can be solved with just a piece of paper and a pen.
It is a lifesaver for those who don’t know how to use an abacus or whose hand speed is not fast enough.
"Master Cui, if the officials of the Ministry of Revenue learn these methods, they will be greatly enhanced in tax statistics."
Cui Jingzhong nodded, feeling that it was indeed the case.
Especially the table above gave him great inspiration.
If the account books are made like this in the future, it will be very clear at a glance.
"May I ask the Supreme Emperor, who is this Xia Hua Lay Buddhist?"
The emperor was still keeping it a secret: "Guess?"
"From what you said, it must be someone we are familiar with, but we didn't expect. Could it be Dean Wen?"
The emperor shook his head.
"Could it be Grand Secretary Chen from Wenyuan Pavilion? Grand Secretary Chen recently injured his hand, but the handwriting does match this!"
The emperor still shook his head.
The ministers looked at each other and felt that it was too difficult to guess.
Who on earth has such great talent?
Cui Jingzhong looked at the retired emperor's half-smile and an incredible idea arose in his mind.
"Is the author of this book a woman?"
As soon as the words fell, they attracted everyone's attention. They all thought that Lord Cui's idea was a bit shocking.
Unexpectedly, the emperor actually nodded, but he didn't tell everyone who had the idea.
Everyone can only guess in their hearts.
After discussion, the adults felt that this book was very valuable and worth promoting.
But the content inside, except for the first few chapters, is easy to understand and can be understood at a glance.
Later on, when it comes to equations and area and volume calculations, just looking at them is not enough.
It wasn't too tangled. Emperor Zhou said that he would let the author of the book teach.
A group of people left reluctantly, still wondering in their hearts who was so talented.
But no one answered.
A month later, "Da Zhou Mathematics" was officially released.
Appearing in various study rooms in the city.
At first, people didn't take it seriously until someone discovered that the author's signature was exactly the same as that of the retired emperor.
The students were shocked and rushed to the study to inquire about the news of "The Mathematics of the Great Zhou Dynasty".
When they got the affirmative answer, they were all stunned.
Those who have money can buy a copy and read it. Those who are short of money can rent it by the day.
I thought it was a book related to the imperial examination, but after careful study I found that it had no connection at all.
However, the content above was so novel that I couldn't help but read it.
At the same time, many people became interested in Mr. Xia Hua, whose name was followed by the Emperor Retired.
Despite asking around, I couldn't find any information about the other party. It was as if they were being deliberately hidden.
Chi Xingyue also sent someone to buy a few copies. When he saw the words "Xia Hua" on the cover, his eyes became moist unconsciously.
Hearing the twins' cries of "Ahhh", he quickly calmed down, put the books into the space, and played with the little ones.
In Rongsiyuan, Geng Suhua was extremely busy.
In a few days, Ling Jiran will get married.
The dowry was packed with loads, and the silver boxes were piled up one after another.
Huang Minbo also bought a house outside and decorated it with lights and decorations these two days. It is obvious that he is going to hold a wedding.
However, the wedding still had to be held in Yunrou County. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to explain it to the folks.
And so, more than half a month passed.
At the end of the year, Huang Minbo came to the Ling family with music and drums to welcome the bride.
Although I know they will be back soon, living in the same city, there are many opportunities to meet.
But Geng Suhua was still sad, feeling that after today, her daughter would no longer belong to her.
She will have her own home and her own life.
It was rare for us to see each other during festivals. How could we be together all day and night like we are now?
She suppressed her emotions and waited for Ling Jiran to say goodbye to her.
The moment she turned around, she could no longer hold back and sobbed.
As a result, those who attended the wedding also shed tears of empathy.
But soon, she smiled again and invited everyone to dinner.
Chi Xingyue followed and watched Ling Jiran get on the ox cart before coming back and sitting next to Shu Muyun.
Her hand was held, and she smiled, her eyes full of tenderness.
Ling Jiran came back half a month later.
First, they went to Yunrou County to hold the wedding, then returned to the parents' home three days later, and then returned directly to the provincial capital from Yunrou County.
The road was difficult to travel on in winter, and we had to stop and go many times, which delayed us for several days.
Fortunately, there was no heavy snow, otherwise we would have been trapped in the deserted mountains and would have been in danger of death.
The newlyweds went to the Ling family for dinner. When Geng Suhua saw Ling Jiran's rosy face and shy expression, she realized that Huang Minbo was still very considerate.
I breathed a sigh of relief and took my daughter back to the room to talk in private.
Ling Jiheng also called Huang Minbo to the study and asked him about his homework.
Originally, the imperial examination was to be held the year after next.
But when Emperor Ruikang ascended the throne, he opened an additional imperial examination, and after the New Year, the examination would be held again.
Ling Jiheng warned: "Although the land of gentleness is nice, don't neglect your studies."
Huang Minbo nodded: "Don't worry, second brother, Minbo reads and practices calligraphy every morning when he wakes up."
In Rongsiyuan, Geng Suhua felt a lot more relaxed after resolving a worry.
But there is a stubborn guy in the family who is old and doesn’t even have a blind date, which gives her a headache.
More importantly, Ling Jiren made it clear that he had to prepare for the war and would not come back for the New Year.
She was unconsciously nervous.
