    "I never thought it was such a coincidence that everyone is here today." Dugu Ming looked at the people gathered in front of the side door of Ye Mansion, greeted with a smile, and then waved his hand: "Since Mr. Ye is not here, I will leave first.  If you have nothing urgent, please leave." He is the oldest among the new nobles, so he can speak like this.  After finishing speaking, he waved his hand, returned to his carriage, and drove away.  He took the lead to leave, and soon after, other members of the new aristocracy also left one after another. The modest ones greeted Yuan Gongdao, Du Fu, and Xiao Bolang, while the arrogant and cold-tempered ones left without saying a word.  In just a moment, the dozen or so people gathered at Ye Chang's side door dispersed and left.  Xiao Bolang was a little confused: "What is going on? There were many people there just now, but they all dispersed in an instant." Du Fu didn't quite understand. He looked at Yuan Gongdao and said, "Does Duke Yuan know the reason?"  " "They came here to make their position clear. Even if the imperial court does not sacrifice prisoners for Ye Gong, they will stand on Ye Gong's side.  "Yuan Gongdao has been in officialdom for many years, but he knows the true meaning hidden in this little gesture. "How could they side with Ye Gong?  "Brother Xiao was a little surprised. "Aren't you also on Mr. Ye's side?  " Yuan Gongdao also looked down upon this knight-errant and said lightly. Du Fu lowered his head and thought, he was smart after all, and he knew what Yuan Gongdao didn't say before he went too far. Ye Chang tied the economic interests of the powerful to himself.  The strategy of working together should be said to have worked, and it can even be said to have been very effective. Those noble relatives who were not very favored by Li Longji, such as Princess Xincheng's consort Dugu Ming, did not get much benefit from Li Longji, and they even did not get much benefit from Li Longji.  They will also be bullied by the Yang family. On the contrary, on Ye Chang's side, they have endless economic benefits. Even their own industries, which are independent of Ye Chang's industrial and commercial group, also adopt the same management method as Ye Chang's.  Method. To a certain extent, they have separated themselves from the old elites and formed a group that is very wealthy economically but extremely frustrated politically. Their next step is to consolidate their own interests and then gain.  Political power. And the only person they pushed to the forefront who could guarantee their rights and interests was not the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Longji, nor the old ministers like Yang Zhao. Only Ye Chang, to a certain extent, they needed.  "I need them more than Ye Chang. "I also have something to do. Since I don't know when Ye Gong will return, I'll take my leave first. Zimei, what about you?  "Yuan Gongdao asked. Because Du Fu had something urgent to find Ye Chang, he still insisted on staying. Even Xiao Bolang left first. In the evening, he finally waited for Ye Chang. "Is it possible that Zimei looks like this?  What difficulties did it encounter? Was it insufficient funds or insufficient staff?  "Ye Chang smiled when he saw him. "It's just the same thing. I have received a lot of letters recently," Du Fu said about the cause of the incident. With Ye Chang's vigorous promotion, Chang'an and Luoyang have now implemented the house number system like Lushun.  , with the help of the strong trade network of the Andong Chamber of Commerce, mailing letters have also begun to sprout. Just find any inn associated with the Andong Chamber of Commerce, and you can send it to the residents of these cities with house names. And the "Min Bao" headquarters,  At No. 140, Nanheng Street, West City, letters from all over the country were sent every day. Some of the letters sent from Luoyang recently made Du Fu feel something was wrong. "These are the letters.  "After Ye Chang received the letter, he opened it and read it, his brows gradually furrowed. "Minbao" was placed in high hopes by Ye Chang. Firstly, it would control the clear flow of public opinion, secondly, it would advocate new trends and fashions, and thirdly, it would popularize some natural knowledge. For example,  , he used Minbao to introduce the situation in Anxi, Hezhong, Dashi, Tianzhu, and Persia. In addition, almost from the first issue of Minbao, he promoted the vernacular of articles and punctuation of sentences.  Because the main target of "Minbao" is the people in the market, the article is vernacular, and the same is true for the punctuation of sentences, and these letters are all about digital symbolization.  Ye Chang believes that symbolic numbers are easier to calculate than Chinese characters, and the popularization of mathematics is in great need of symbolic numbers. There is no doubt that mathematics has a role in natural science. Ye Chang wants to promote various methods.  The emergence of invention and innovation requires the development of mathematics. After reading the letter, Ye Chang sneered: "What does it mean to be beautiful?"  "These letters are all attacks on arithmetic. They say that the vernacular arithmetic in the "Min Bao" is misleading and spreads fallacies. It also involves mathematics and is fallacy. The key is that these letters are from the East.  It was sent from the Imperial College of the Imperial Academy, and the person who wrote the letter was a student of the Imperial College of Arithmetic. Unlike some people in later generations who believed that the imperial examination was just a test of the Four Books and Five Classics, when the imperial examination was launched in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the content of the examination was quite rich, including not only mathematics.  Arithmetic, even in the Imperial College, was specialized in??Taking into account the Taipei students, a total of twenty people will be admitted.  It's just that these imperial students were not placed in Chang'an, but in Luoyang.  "There is not much news in Chang'an Imperial College. Should I pay attention to these letters or ignore them?" Du Fu was still a little sensitive. There were some words in the letter. He felt that they pointed to Ye Chang, so he came to find Ye Chang to get an idea.  "What are Zimei's own thoughts?" Ye Chang asked.  "Frankly speaking, if Chang Ran had not been involved, I would have selected the letter with the best words and published it in the People's Daily." "Oh?" "To show that the People's Daily is impartial and impartial.  Secondly, it¡¯s OK According to Chang Ran, it¡¯s just a matter of hype.¡± Hearing Du Fu say ¡°hype¡±, Ye Chang couldn¡¯t help but laugh.  "In that case, let's make some hype." After laughing, Ye Chang's eyes flashed: "It's been ten years since I started running a private school in Wolong Valley in the second year of Tianbao, and it's time to  Let these children from the past come out. " "Huh?" Du Fu was stunned for a moment, but seeing Ye Chang's confident look, he didn't ask any more questions.  Chang'an and Luoyang are so close that there are special trains running between them every night, so only three days later, in the Imperial College of Luoyang, some students gathered together and read the latest issue of "Ming Pao".  "You are really arrogant" "You are not ashamed to speak out" "I am really not the one to stir up trouble, but this matter cannot be tolerated, everyone" Everyone yelled and cursed. The reason was that although their letter was published in Ming Pao, there was Ye Ye beside him at the same time.  Chang's comment: The words of corrupt Confucians are useless and useless.  "This matter must be reported to Sir." Someone suggested: "This is what Ye Zhongcheng said. He is an important minister of the dynasty and a border general. I can't wait for a mere imperial student. How can I resist him?" "That's what he said.  "You guys, this is the old emperor. Ye Zhizhou is not as good as before," the person who just said that he was not a troublemaker shook his head.  People in the Tang Dynasty liked to call people by their place of origin. Ye Chang was a martial artist, so some people called him Ye Xiuwu, and Xiuwu belonged to Zhizhou, so some people called him Ye Zhizhou.  He established great achievements in Liaodong, and some people also called Ye Andong "Oh? Brother Zhu, why did you say this?" "Have you forgotten the rumors from years ago? For the sake of the twenty-nine noble lords, Ye Chang actually dared to wave to the emperor.  Therefore, although he won a great victory in Talas, expanded his territory thousands of miles, and captured tens of thousands, he has never heard of a reward until now. Moreover, when the emperor visited the Hot Spring Palace in winter, he was not able to accompany him.  Why is this?" "Why?" "The Holy Family has been lost, and Ye Chang is going to die." Brother Zhu said proudly: "As an official in the court, ability is important, but the most important thing is the Holy Family. Did you know that Li Linfu  Why did he die? It was not because of old age and illness, but because he lost his holy family. As a result, he had to go to Liaodong to live out his life." This man told nonsense, which made the surrounding students stunned.  As students of arithmetic, they naturally disliked Ye Chang. As early as when Ye Chang used some popular reading books to explain the originally mysterious and mysterious arithmetic in a simple way, they had a kind of worry.  This is to equate the sacred discipline of arithmetic with accountants, court officials, and village heads. The highest level of arithmetic should be to become an eunuch, calculating calendars and celestial phenomena. How can merchants who are always willing to spend money come into contact with these sacred things?  knowledge?  "No wonder he responded to us personally in the newspaper. He probably just had too much time to do." Someone said with a smile.  "He has lost his holy favor. After all, he is also a minister of the dynasty. We and others are still talking quietly, so it is better to ask the husband." "Exactly" Everyone agreed, and they went to see their husband together.  Nowadays, the arithmetic department of the Imperial College is under the supervision of the eunuch, and their husband also has close ties with the eunuch.  This assistant professor of the Imperial College named Qu Tanxun is now the number one person in arithmetic in Dongdu. Although there is still a secretary here, the students trust Qu Tanxun more.  In fact, the reason why they were so hostile to the mathematics in Minbao was because Qu Tanxun was behind it.  "Based on what you see, how should we deal with it?" Qu Tanxun asked with a smile after asking about the cause and effect.  He sat cross-legged and looked very calm. The student named Zhu said: "The teaching assistant is a master of arithmetic today. His family background is not comparable to that of Ye Zhizhou. Please write an article to refute it, so as to correct the source and prevent the spread of falsehoods."  "Yes, the teaching assistant is proficient in arithmetic. If he doesn't come out, who else can take up this position?" The student surnamed Zhu said impassionedly.  Qu Tanxun looked around at everyone again, feeling very satisfied.  He was not originally from the Central Plains. His ancestors came from Tianzhu and came to Chang'an from the Western Regions. He served as chief minister for several generations.The eunuch of the Tang Dynasty was in charge of formulating the calendar.  However, the monks and his party drew on the strengths of other families and established the Dayan Calendar, which replaced the Jiuzhi Calendar translated by his ancestors, and also shaken his family's status among the eunuchs.  Therefore, after Yi Xing passed away, at the age of only seventeen, he persuaded fellow eunuch Chen Xuanjing, Nangong Shuo, who had served in the eunuch, and others to attack the Dayan Li for plagiarizing the Jiu Zhi Li, and the plagiarism was not accurate.  The lawsuit came before Li Longji, but they were disappointed. Nangong Shuo and others were convicted, and he, the instigator, was driven to the Imperial Academy in Tokyo, far away from the political center of Chang'an City.  He has been waiting for the opportunity, hoping to return to Chang'an one day, but when he saw articles popularizing knowledge of mathematics and astronomy from Ye Chang's books and "Minbao", and when he saw articles praising Monk and his party, he  He was terrified and angry.  He, and Nangong said that they are all from astronomical arithmetic families. These families have monopolized astronomy and relatively advanced mathematics for generations. It can be said that the monopoly of knowledge is the foundation for their ability to settle down in the court.  However, the "Min Bao" still has those popular mathematics books, and they want to publish the knowledge they have monopolized for generations. This will interrupt their family's path to wealth. Which is tolerable, but what is unbearable? "You can enter the Imperial College to study arithmetic, but it is only temporary.  Smart people." He said slowly: "There are at least two harms to allowing these fallacies to spread. First, they will spread falsehoods and mislead fools, and even evil people will use what they have learned to preach and act in disobedience.  Secondly, it makes the young people, who are so rough and have only a little knowledge, dare to praise them, but make what they have learned useless." All the students nodded. This is not the first time that Qu Tanxun said these things.  Students don't care much about the first point, but they attach great importance to the latter point. To put it bluntly, if mathematics becomes popular, it means that the mathematics they learn will be useless. They want to use mathematics to get promoted and make a fortune.  The sweet dream was shattered. Therefore, they will never tolerate this. "I am not doing this for my own name, but for the world, the court, and all the kings." Qu Tanxun then said: "Ye Zhizhou is powerful.  I resisted it like a mantis holding a chariot, but I had to do it." He spoke generously and tragically, as if Ye Chang would kill him if he made a sound.  The students around him were young after all, so they were a little excited. The man named Zhu raised his arms and said, "Assistant, please don't worry. If Ye Chang really dares to use force to force others, we will dare to beat the Dengwen drum." "Exactly, that's right."  Let the world know that we, even the students of the Imperial Academy, are also loyal and righteous people." Qu Tanxun nodded with satisfaction. This was the effect he wanted.  Although the Qu Tan family has been operating in the eunuchs for many years and is quite influential, compared with Ye Chang, an important official with real power, he is far behind.  If he didn't create some momentum, he felt a little uneasy.  Although there was a big shot in Beijing who promised that as long as he could overpower Ye Chang and make Ye Chang suffer, he would definitely promote him - but it is better to have one more person to rely on than to rely entirely on others.  "Whatever the teaching assistant wants to do, we will have to follow him," the student surnamed Zhu said again.  Qu Tanxun smiled at him, and the two exchanged knowing glances.  He squinted his eyes and pondered for a while, then the generalist said: "In that case, I have a plan." "Assistant teacher, please tell me." "Declare war on Minbao and Ye Zhizhou." "Declare war?" Everyone was frightened after hearing this.  A big jump.  This is not an ordinary person, this is an important minister of the court. Even if Ye Chang has lost the favor of the saint, as Zhu Xuesi said, he is a famous general who kills people profusely. Students like them, who carry swords on their waists just for decoration, can also show off to them.  Ye Chang declares war?
