Daqin: I was overheard by Zulong

Chapter 248 Worshiping the Prince as a Teacher?
When Xu Fu and Gongsun Zhui returned to Xianyang City, the biggest discovery was that Daqin's fine wine had risen by more than one level!
Especially the good wine that Ying Zheng gave them. It is no exaggeration to say that that was the real reason they stayed.

"Where is Prince Ganqing, there is a real good wine, alas, then I have to ask Confucius for everything!"

"Yes, yes, Confucius, let's make a deal, and we will be waiting for your fine wine tomorrow!"

Xu Fu and Gongsunzhui looked serious, but Kong Jia looked indifferent, "Some small things are left to me. The old man and the prince are friends who have forgotten the years. It's just a little wine. The prince still has to give this face to the old man." .”

Kong Jia didn't drink very well, but he didn't speak modestly at all, and he also drank a little too much. The three of them went to the layman together, but before they got out of the Imperial Prison, they saw that there were still lights burning in the room by accident.

"Well, it's so late, how come there are still people working hard in the Imperial College?" Gongsun Zhui looked surprised.

"Uh, that's not right!" Kong Jia took a closer look, and most of the wine woke up. "That's Zhang Cang's room. He hasn't been to the Imperial College for a long time. Who ran into his room?"

Angrily, Kong Jia went straight to the place where the lamp was lit, Xu Fu and Gongsun Zhui also followed, but when they went to the room to check, it turned out that Zhang Cang was really inside.

Seeing Zhang Cang writing and drawing with a pile of paper, Kong Jia couldn't help being curious, "Master Zhang, what kind of wind is this that blows you to the Imperial College?"

Kong Jia, Xu Fu and the others approached, but they didn't get any response from Zhang Cang, which made Kong Jia and the others even more surprised.

Xu Fu took a closer look and said, "Ah, count, what time has it been, and you are still struggling to count? Mr. Zhang is too serious!"

Everyone was an official in the same dynasty, and Xu Fu drank a little more, so he didn't seem to be guarding the door when he spoke, and his voice was surprisingly loud.

"Go out if you have nothing to do, I'm busy and don't have time to talk to you!" Zhang Cang was suddenly upset when he was interrupted.

"What are you busy with? Even though you have been busy for so many years, I haven't seen any results from your work. Your health is important. Mr. Zhang should go back and wash up and sleep early!" Kong Jia laughed.

Xu Fu and Gongsun Zhui also joined in teasing Zhang Cang.

"Yes, Mr. Zhang, it's almost the third night. Don't let anything happen to you, an old man."

"It just so happens that we go back together, and there will be a caretaker on the way, so let's pack up and go back quickly!"

Zhang Cang couldn't solve the problem anymore, seeing three drunks surrounded him reeking of alcohol, interrupting his work, Zhang Cang's lungs exploded.

"You guys know how to drink and chat every day. With Daqin in your hands, what kind of development can you get?"

"What?" Kong Jia and Xu Fu were provoked by Zhang Cang's words. They are also the heads of Confucianism, famous schools, and Taoism. They originally tried to persuade Zhang Cang to go back to rest earlier, but they didn't expect to be yelled at by the other party. How can I bear it!
But Zhang Cang saw their expressions of displeasure, and wanted to argue with himself. Zhang Cang preemptively said, "Then tell yourself, what have you done for Daqin? I'm making a nine-nine multiplication table here, do you understand?"

"There is also the latest multiplication vertical calculation, and the use of Arabic numerals, you don't know it!"

When Kong Jia and the others heard the words, they really didn't know, and shook their heads involuntarily. Gongsun Zhui couldn't help asking: "Master Zhang, what multiplication table, what numbers, what are these?"

"I know you are nothing, listen carefully!" Zhang Cang took out a blank piece of paper and explained the nine-to-nine multiplication table, vertical calculation and Arabic numerals to the three drunks.

Originally, Xu Fu and others didn't take Zhang Cang's words seriously at first, but as Zhang Cang's explanation deepened, the expressions of Kong Jia and others gradually became serious, and they all woke up from the wine.

"My God, Zhang Cang, you can do it, this is an epoch-making creation!"

"You are really improving on the way of counting, no wonder you are so sleepless tonight, admiration!"

"Master Zhang, this is unkind. To create such an inscrutable thing, you have to buy me a drink!"

"You guys!" Zhang Cang shook his head helplessly, "If I created these, I would be willing to treat you to drinking for a year, but I didn't create this!"

"What? Impossible!" Kong Jia's eyes widened, "In the whole of Daqin, who else is as capable as you? In terms of calculations, who else is better than you except yourself?"

"Actually, this is not difficult to guess at all, it is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Zhang Cang said seriously.

"Prince..." The three drunkards were suddenly dumbfounded, with disbelief on their faces.

"The prince actually created these, it's impossible! This is too puzzling!"

"Yeah, you've studied it all your life, can't you compare it to that kid? How can the prince be so strong?"

"The crown prince is so strong!" Zhang Cang shook his head with a wry smile, "Everyone should leave first, I'm going to stay up late again tonight, I have to research something quickly, otherwise I won't be able to sleep."

Zhang Cang had no intention of talking to Kong Jia and the others, Kong Jia nodded slightly, and was about to move, but stopped again.

"My lord Zhang, why do you have to chase after the end? You know that the prince is very capable. Instead of chasing after the prince, it is better to directly worship the prince as a teacher, so that you can be on par with the prince's knowledge!"

"This..." Zhang Cang's eyes lit up when he heard Kong Jia's words.

That's right, why didn't I think of it?Why do you have to build a car behind closed doors by yourself, and go directly to the prince to apprentice, wouldn't it be over?Can't all the problems that bother me be solved?

"Hey, that's not right!" Kong Jia seemed to be thinking of something, "Zhang Cang, your current identity seems to have the title of Prince Zhanshi, which means that you are actually the prince's teacher, and now you want to pay homage to him?" The prince is your teacher, isn't this a disorderly generation?"

Zhang Cang's expression was stagnant, and he waved his hand and said, "You old masters have said that three people must have my teacher. Whoever has the most knowledge is the teacher. This is the meaning of learning. You only care about your status and seniority, but you also learn." Shit!"

Zhang Cang rolled his eyes at Kong Jia, and then hurriedly packed his things. He had already made up his mind to find Zhao Yi to apprentice with him early tomorrow morning, and he must let Zhao Yi accept him as his disciple!

On the other side, in the royal study room of the palace, it was already midnight, but the room was still brightly lit.

Zhang Han strode in and knelt down in front of Ying Zheng. "Your Majesty, what do you want from me?"

Ying Zheng waved his hand, "Quickly send capable black ice warriors to Kuaiji to see if there is a new shipyard near the sea!"

"I just heard that the shipyard over there has started construction and a warship has been launched. You must ask Hei Bing to find out, and then come back and report to me!"

After hearing what Ying Zheng said, Zhang Han was surprised, but he immediately agreed to leave.
