Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly left Yi Garden and headed straight for the Hall of Diligent Government.
On the other side, while Lu Ya was waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang, he also walked into the Hall of Diligent Government and started to stroll around.
Li Wenzhong stood guard at the entrance of the hall. When he saw this situation, he looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.
This kid was really disrespectful.
Is this Hall of Diligent Government a place you can wander around?
Li Wenzhong really wanted to go up and persuade him to wait obediently and not wander around, or else he would make the Emperor angry.
However, after thinking about it, he still stopped this thought and wanted to observe Lu Ya more.
At the same time…he wanted to see the Emperor's attitude towards this young man.
……
On the other side, Zhu Yuanzhang rushed all the way to the Hall of Diligent Government and saw Li Wenzhong guarding the door.
"Siben (Li Wenzhong's handwriting), why are you here?”Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and asked.
Li Wenzhong hurriedly cupped his hands and said,"
"Your Majesty, I escorted Mister Lu into the palace, so I waited here. Please forgive me, Your Majesty.”
As the general guarding the Imperial City, unless the Emperor personally summoned him, otherwise, Li Wenzhong could not enter the palace without permission.
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression softened slightly and he nodded slightly."
"Where is Mr. Lu?"
" He..." Li Wenzhong hesitated.
"Why are you being so wishy-washy? If you have something to say, say it.”Zhu Yuanzhang was a little impatient, and his tone became a little heavier.
Li Wenzhong was shocked and hurriedly said,"
"Your Majesty, Mr. Lu has entered the palace."
"Bastard, why didn't you say so earlier?" Zhu Yuanzhang pushed Li Wenzhong away angrily and walked into the Hall of Diligent Government, looking around.
In the end, he saw Lu Ya in a corner. His eyes lit up immediately. He hurried over and laughed.
"State Preceptor, why are you here?"
Lu Ya stuck his head out and waved at Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Chongba, come here quickly."
Zhu Yuanzhang did not hesitate and immediately ran over. Then, he squatted beside Lu Ya, looking like he was ready to be taught.
Li Wenzhong and the Head Eunuch saw this scene, and they were both shocked.
How…how was this possible?
Li Wenzhong's heart was beating wildly, and his face was filled with disbelief.
He knew how domineering Zhu Yuanzhang was.
It could even be said that if anyone dared to challenge Zhu Yuanzhang's authority, no matter how high their status was or how much credit they had made, they would not be able to escape the fate of being killed. This was the deterrent force that Zhu Yuanzhang had created.
But now, what did he see?
The Emperor was actually so respectful to a young man. He was no longer as imposing as before. Instead, he was like a…follower.
How could this not shock Li Wenzhong?
The eunuch next to Li Wenzhong was even more horrified by this scene. As an internal official who served Zhu Yuanzhang day and night, he also knew Zhu Yuanzhang's temper very well.
Besides Empress Ma, who else dared to call Zhu Zhongba?
Lu Ya didn't know that the normal communication between him and Zhu Yuanzhang had already left a very shocking impression on people.
He had no intention of being disrespectful to Zhu Yuanzhang. The way they interacted was more like friends and teachers.
There was no distinction between top and bottom.
"State Preceptor, what are you doing here?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked curiously.
Lu Ya pointed at a book on the bookcase and smiled."
"Have you read this book seriously?”
Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze fell on the book that Lu Yazi was reading.
Meng Xi's Pen Talk!
Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned pale as he said,
"I've been busy with government affairs recently, so I don't have much time to look at it.”
"Ha!" Lu Ya glanced at him and said in a disappointed tone,"" Read less of Confucius 'words and more of Mengxi's writings. They contain the true truths of heaven and earth. They will be your weapon to transform the Confucian school in the future. Don't underestimate them.”
"I've learned my lesson."
Zhu Yuanzhang was as obedient as an old man.
Lu Ya stood up, took out Meng Xi's Pen, and walked out from the corner.
At this moment, Lu Ya saw that there were other people in the hall. He suddenly realized something and gave Zhu Yuanzhang a look.
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately understood and said sternly,
"All of you, step down. Without Zhen's orders, you are not allowed to enter.”
Li Wenzhong and the Head Eunuch immediately retreated.
After walking out of the hall, the Head Eunuch and Li Wenzhong looked at each other in silence.
After a while, Li Wenzhong suddenly said,"
"Eunuch, I still have some matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first.”
"Farewell, General Li." The Head Eunuch bowed slightly and watched Li Wenzhong leave. He then stood guard in front of the palace door, his face expressionless. No one knew what he was thinking.
In the Hall of Diligent Government.
Lu Ya flipped through Meng Xi's Pen Chat and said,"
"How's the multiplication formula I taught you?”
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said,
"State Preceptor, don't worry. I've memorized it and remembered it in my heart.”
"Recite it." Lu Ya said.
Zhu Yuanzhang started reciting.
From one to one, to nine to eighty-one, he memorized every word perfectly and was extremely skilled.
Lu Ya listened carefully. After Zhu Yuanzhang finished reciting, he asked,"Where's the vertical multiplication? How are you doing?"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled awkwardly and said,"
"This is a little difficult. I'm still learning.”
Lu Ya nodded and said,"
"I'll give you a question to test you."
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately sat up straight with a serious expression.
Lu Ya thought for a moment, and his gaze suddenly fell on a memorial. It was about the statistics of the Ministry of Revenue's money and grain.
Lu Ya's eyes immediately lit up, and he slowly said,"
"Listen up. Assuming Xu Da leads 14,500 soldiers to the north, each soldier consumes three catties of money and food every day. How much does the Ministry of Revenue have to spend?"
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately began to calculate in his heart.
The premise of mental arithmetic was to first learn the vertical formula and then combine it with the multiplication formula. This way, one could calculate the answer efficiently and quickly.
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a minute and immediately calculated the result.
"Imperial Preceptor, it's 2.61 million jin.”
Lu Ya nodded and said gratefully,
"Very good, you didn't fall behind on your math homework.”
Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it and asked,
"State Preceptor, this method of calculation is something that only the accountant can learn. Why are you asking us to learn this? What use does it have for governing the country?"
"It's very useful." Lu Ya closed the book and said seriously," You don't have to be proficient in mathematics, but you have to understand basic operations. Mathematics can help you get accurate data, and accurate data can help you make the right decision."”
