In the heavy rain, Yan Changqing walked for more than an hour before he returned to his residence in a remote corner of Nanjing.
Compared to the other sixth-grade officials and third-grade officials, he could only afford a house in this corner with his previous identity as a ninth grade mathematics doctor.
Although the house was not big, it was quiet and elegant. Not far from the door was the end of the Qinhuai River, which could be considered beautiful scenery.
The first thing Yan Changqing did when he got home was to fill himself with a bucket of hot water. He then immersed himself in the hot water.
In the misty heat, he recalled his life over the past year.
A year ago, he had transmigrated to the early eleventh year of Hongwu's reign and became a mathematics teaching assistant in the Imperial College.
If he had transmigrated to become a teaching assistant of another school, he would have no choice but to resign and run away.
After all, in his previous life, no modern person would read Confucian books for no reason. Even a professor of ancient Confucian literature who transmigrated to the Hongwu period was not a qualified teaching assistant of the Imperial College.
After all, the things that you spent most of your life studying and learning were just things that others had already known since they were young. The environment and atmosphere between the two were completely different. There was no comparison at all.
Fortunately, he had transmigrated to become a mathematics teaching assistant.
During the early Ming Dynasty, the top mathematics students were only at the level of high school students in his previous life. Most of the other mathematics students were at the level of middle school students.
For example, the Nine Chapters of Arithmetic and the Nine Chapters of the Book of Mathematics, which were the support of mathematics in the Song, Yuan, and Ming Dynasties.
Among them, the Nine Chapters on Arithmetic mainly involved the four basic operations, general fraction, reduction fraction, converting fraction into false fraction, as well as volume, area, and other geometry applications and Pythagorean theorem.
The Nine Chapters of the Book of Mathematics mainly involved the correct solution of natural numbers, fraction, decimals, negative numbers, and congruence expressions, as well as Qin Jiushao's algorithm.
And these contents were basically the mathematics knowledge of the middle and high school students in his previous life.
And this was only the highest level of mathematics development in the early Ming Dynasty. If it was compared to the level of mathematics knowledge that the mathematics teaching assistants in the early Ming Dynasty had.
In his inherited memories, the level of the mathematics teaching assistant of the Imperial College in the early Ming Dynasty was only at the level of a junior high school student who barely passed.
Even if he had a PhD in mathematics, which represented the highest level of mathematics in the country, he was still just a junior high school graduate with excellent results in his eyes. He was barely at the level of a high school student.
However, compared to him, this level of mathematics…
How should he put it? Even though he did not major in mathematics in his previous life.
However, with the mathematics knowledge he had in his previous life, it was not difficult for him to defeat two or three middle school students or high school students who were teaching assistants and Ph.D. students in mathematics.
Therefore, after he stumped the mathematics doctor and personally solved the problem in front of the mathematics doctor, he became a mathematics doctor from a mathematics teaching assistant.
At the same time, he was also the only mathematics doctor. Because the other mathematics doctor was also stumped by him, he took the initiative to demote himself to an assistant. Then, he treated Yan Changqing like a teacher with the doctor who demoted himself to an assistant.
After all, there was no such thing as worldly wisdom or experience in mathematics.
Perhaps women would lie to you, brothers would betray you, and subordinates would bite you back, but mathematics would not!
Because if he didn't know math, he didn't!!
No matter how much Incompetent Rage he was, he still couldn't solve the math problems that he couldn't solve before!
Therefore, even though it was rare for him to travel to the Ming Dynasty, Yan Changqing did not want to do business, nor did he want to become a civil official and prime minister.
He didn't want to do business because the class system in the early Ming Dynasty was too serious!!!
The merchants of the early Ming Dynasty could be said to have the lowest status. If they really wanted to do business, no matter how much they surpassed the current era's vision and business awareness, they would inevitably become someone else's white gloves.
They might not even have the freedom to live or die. This was the merchants of the early Ming Dynasty!!!
The reason why he didn't want to become a civil official was because during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, being an official and being a prime minister was a high-risk profession!!!
As a beggar, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang naturally had great hostility towards those civil officials. It should even be said that it was an unusually strong hatred!
After all, in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, 99% of the reason for his tragic childhood was due to the oppression of those corrupt officials.
Therefore, after Zhu Yuanzhang became the emperor, the harshness of the punishment for those corrupt officials could be said to be unprecedented!
Corrupted officials who have taken more than sixty taels of bribes shall be executed without mercy!
In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang had fought his way out of the chaotic world and finally ascended to the throne of the emperor. His killing nature was also among the best among the emperors!
According to incomplete statistics, in the thirty years that Zhu Yuanzhang was in power, he had ordered the execution of more than 150,000 corrupt officials!
It could be said to be the most in history!
Even the Prime Minister, the head of the civil officials, was killed by Zhu Yuanzhang!
In the early Ming Dynasty, there were a total of five prime ministers. When Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the prime minister system, four of them died badly!!!
Even the only person who seemed to have a good ending, Xu Da, did not have a good ending in the rumors of unofficial history.
Therefore, in Yan Changqing's opinion, choosing to be an official during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty was something that required a lot of courage.
At the very least, he lacked a little bit of courage, so he only wanted to stay in the Imperial College quietly and be a ninth grade mathematics doctor.
Whether it was the current Zhu Yuanzhang or the future Emperor Yongle Zhu Di, he was not interested and did not want to get involved.
Therefore, even though he knew that Zhu Di and the other vassal kings came to the Imperial College to listen to his lecture, he never deliberately made connections with Zhu Di or made investments in advance.
As long as he didn't mess around in the directorate, as long as he didn't enter the eyes of the Ming Dynasty's upper civil and military officials, princes, and even the Emperor.
To be honest, whether it was the future Zhu Yuanzhang who killed for his grandson Zhu Yunwen, or the future Emperor Yongle Zhu Di who used his status as a vassal king to purge the emperor.
In fact, none of it had anything to do with him, nor would it interfere or affect him.
After all, he was only a ninth grade mathematics doctor, the lowest existence in the Ming Dynasty's ninth grade and eighteenth grade official system.
To put it bluntly, the officials who were hit by a brick in Ying Tian Prefecture were basically of a higher rank than him.
