Wu Ma Xin smiled and nodded, and felt a little in his heart: This person is really interesting, what kind of celebrities do you know some of the neighbors in the village.

All the way down, the farmers in the fields are greeting him, and it seems that his popularity is really good. Being popular is also considered a celebrity, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Gradually, seeing the scattered houses, Zu Yigang said excitedly: "Brother Wuma, not far ahead is my house." ”

As the two were talking, a carriage full of rice came across them. The driver said to Zu Yigang: "Ancestor, thanks to you, this year is another bumper harvest, and the grain yield is twice as much as that of other states." ”

"Great. Zu Yigang was also excited, "Wait for me to measure the circumferential surplus, and then improve the machine, and I will guarantee a few more cars next year." ”

"Okay, we all believe you!" said that, the carriage sped behind him.

Wu Ma Xin asked, "Ancestor, what is that machine machine you are talking about?"

"I made them a little brinket to irrigate and scoop rice. Zu Yigang said, "Install a large wooden wheel in the place where the water flow is very fast, and use wide wooden planks where the wheel hits the water, so that the water area of the wheel is increased and the rotation is more powerful." Then hang a wooden shaft several feet long on the wheel. At the time of spring sowing, a wooden barrel is hung at one end of the wooden shaft, which can take water to water the ground, and when it comes to the autumn harvest, the wooden barrel is removed and connected to the stone pole, which can control the rise and fall of the stones. This can not only save manpower, but also increase production, so why not. ”

"It's hard to say that you're a celebrity, and you're really clever. Wu Ma said heartily approvingly.

"Haha. Zu Yigang smiled, "It's nothing, it's all a small thing to do." I have to figure out the exact circumferential surplus, that's the big deal. ”

"Circumferential surplus?"

"Hmm. Zu Yigang stopped at the door of a house and said, "When you arrive, this is my house, you will understand when you go in." ”

The yard is very large, the ground is densely packed with circles made of bamboo, all of which are the size of a zhang in diameter, a person holds a rope, keeps measuring and comparing, and does not dare to have a little error.

Zu Yigang introduced: "This is my second brother Zu Yisen, he is responsible for making the circle, and it must be exactly the same size, not the slightest difference." ”

In the bamboo circle, two people coil the iron wire, the first person circles the regular hexagon, the second person continues to divide, circle the twelve-sided, and then the first person divides the twenty-four sides, the two alternately wiring, the iron money is more and more dense, almost the entire bamboo circle is spread. Every time they finished it, the two of them used tools to strictly compare and did not dare to slack off.

"This is my third brother Zu Yifeng and my fourth brother Zu Yisheng, they are responsible for using the method of cutting the circle to cut the bamboo circle, until it is 24,576 sides to cover the entire bamboo circle. ”

Zu Yigang was extremely excited when he said it, but Wu Ma Xin was confused when he heard it.

"This is my fifth brother Zu Yiming. Zu Yigang pointed to the man who bent down and measured it with a rope, "He is responsible for measuring the side length and area of the polygon." ”

"Oh, oh. ”

Zu Yigang pointed to the person sitting on the ground in the distance. The man sat cross-legged, sweating, and in front of him lay a small wooden stick, which was red and shiny to the touch, and was stained with wet sweat.

"This is my sixth brother Zu Yizhuo, he wants to use the results of the measurement to calculate the circumferential surplus, which is the most critical and the most stressful. ”

"Is that the math out?"

"The circumference is endless, and non-human beings can do it. Zu Yigang shook his head and said, "We can only count the diameter of 100 million as one zhang, the circumference of the surplus is three zhang one foot four inches one minute five centimeters nine milliseconds seven flicker, the number of three zhang one foot four inches one minute five cents nine milliseconds six flicker, the positive number is between the two limits of the flap. ”

"Oh. ”

Zu Yigang said unfinished: "The circumferential surplus number hides the ultimate between heaven and earth, and everything for everyone is implied in it, birth, old age, sickness, death, blessing, luck, wealth, and qi, when the mystery of the circumferential surplus is revealed, it is the ultimate of human beings." ”

Wu Ma's heart was like listening to a book from heaven, and he didn't even dare to say "oh".

"Big brother, is this your friend?" The sound of wind chimes floated, which finally made Wu Ma's heart feel more comfortable, and there were already three more girls around him.

Zu Yigang said: "Brother, let me introduce, this is my seventh sister Zu Yanan, eighth sister and ninth sister, we concentrate on the art industry, and they will take care of the food and clothing." ”

Wu Ma Xin nodded, as if he had said hello.

Zu Yanan said: "Big brother, let the brothers stop being busy, come and eat." ”

"Look at my memory, I almost forgot what I was doing. Zu Yigang said, "Brother, coarse tea and light rice, don't dislike it, come, come, come, come, I want to toast you today." ”

Wu Ma refused in a heart, and was so angry that Zu Yigang's eyes were bigger than the bamboo circle on the ground: "What, don't you like me to break here?"

"No, that's not what I meant. ”

"Then don't shirk. As soon as Zu Yigang spoke, he took Wu Maxin's hand and walked towards the backyard. The backyard is not much better than the front yard, the east and west piles are full of things that Wu Ma Xin has never seen, and they are disorganized. Zu Yigang was excited: "This is the guide car, that is the thousand-mile boat, and the one that drips water is called the timer, but unfortunately it hasn't been done yet, hehe." ”

It's not dark yet, but the moon is already out.

Wu Ma Xin picked up the wine glass and said convincingly: "Brother, you are really a great celebrity. ”

"Hey, hey. Zu Yigang did not give in, but looked up at the moon and said, "Sooner or later, one day, I will engrave my name on the moon." ”

Wu Ma couldn't help but be in awe, he believed that there would be such a day, and the moon would be engraved with the word "ancestor".

After three rounds of drinking, Zu Yigang was already drunk, and Wu Ma Xin refused to be retained by everyone and left. The moon had already begun to round and brighten, and he did not dare to delay any longer. When I arrived at the main city of Yangzhai, it was already dawn, and the city gate was crowded with people. There is such a prosperous place in Shenzhou, which is completely different from the withering of other states, and it seems that the person in charge of Jizhou is by no means simple.

Wu Ma Xin followed the crowd towards the inside, and heard a group of people beating gongs and drums shouting: "The wasteland in the north of the city, Hu Ming's birthday, a banquet for the whole state, please come." ”

"Okay!" the people raised their arms and cheered, and the crowd hurriedly turned around, Wu Ma had no intention of going over, but he was caught in the flow of people and could not go backwards, so he had to go with him.

The wasteland in the north of the city is vast and boundless, and the middle is surrounded by the officials and soldiers into a circle with a diameter of more than ten zhang, and the people are crowded all around, and the people are crowded, and the heart of the witch horse comes late, and it is a few zhang away from the edge of the circle. There are all kinds of monsters gathered in the circle: a tengu that looks like a white-headed wild cat, a brute who has only one eye and one wing, a fox that looks like a fox and has a pair of light and thin wings, a horse with a white body and a black tail, and a one-horned tiger tooth, a leopard with a leopard print, a dog with a cunning body, and horns, a shusi shaped like a harrier eagle but with human feet, a deer with a white tail and a horse's feet and human hands, a jackal mountain beast that looks like a monkey but is covered with pig hair, and a fox that looks like a pig but has a big bead on its body...... These strange beasts, which are usually fierce and abnormal, are extremely docile at this time, looking around numbly. Presumably, these are today's feasts, and the people are drooling when they see it.

Wu Ma Xin was looking at today's dinner like an ignorant person, and suddenly he was tapped on the shoulder, and he turned around, the man was about his age, white in appearance, and his three locks of mustache showed the spirit of a king. Since receiving the guidance, Wu Ma Xin's perception of the five elements race is very strong, and he can judge the other party's race almost in a single look, but the person in front of him surprised him, and after several observations, he couldn't find out where his five elements belonged.

The man smiled and said, "It's still early for dinner, can you take a step to talk?"

"Naturally. ”

The two of them squeezed out of the crowd, and the people in front of them were still swarming from all directions, looking at these two people who were willing to stay near and far away. Walking to a pure place, the man said, "I know that you are from Duanguo, and I also know that you are from the Wuma family, and I also know that the mission of the Wuma family is to merge the five clans, am I right?"

"That's right. Wu Ma couldn't help but be cautious, "May I ask who Your Excellency is?"

"We share a common purpose. The man smiled and reported to his family: "My name is Ji Qi, and I am now in charge of Jizhou." ”

"You are the son of Dayu?"

"Well, that's right. Ji Qi said, "But it doesn't matter whose son it is, the important thing is that I am myself, and I want to be the king of the entire Shenzhou." "Sure enough, with great ambitions, it is no wonder that Jizhou is much more prosperous than other states, and it is impossible for people without ambition to do it.

"In the heart of the witch horse of the Witch Horse family. Wu Yixin hugged his fists and said, "Brother Ji is from the Jiasui clan, I can't feel the breath of the five elements from your body at all." ”

"You're not the first person to say that. Ji Qi smiled, "It's strange to say, in addition to the five clans in the world, there are two kinds of special people, one is you, who has all the five elements, and the other is me, the five elements lack the five elements, so you naturally can't feel any breath." ”

Wu Ma's heart was stunned for a while, but he didn't dwell on this matter, the world is so big, naturally there are countless special cases, if he has all the five elements, he will allow others to have all the five elements. After a pause, Wu Ma Xin asked, "You say we have a common purpose?"

"Exactly. Ji Qi said resentfully, "Chixian Shenzhou used to be extremely prosperous, but since the expulsion of the alien race, it has been in a slump. Because the Jin people were driven away, the weapons and equipment were ten backward, and most of them were wooden sticks with rough and blunt spearheads; because the fire people were driven away, it was not easy to take fire, so they could only keep the fire every year, and they did not dare to extinguish it, and they had to change the fire every time the season changed; because they drove away the wooden people, the vegetation was sparse, the flowers and plants withered, the grain yield was not high, and there were frequent famines, and starvation was everywhere; because the water people were driven away, the salt became a strange commodity, so they had to buy private salt at a high price, and the private salt was made by the water people who had been searched, and once they were caught, the light ones were distributed to the country, and the heavy ones were never recovered。 If it weren't for Zi Song Zhi's insistence, Shenzhou would have prospered, and the people's livelihood would have withered like now. The breath of wood breathing, the source of water quenching thirst, the natural five materials, together is common prosperity, and division is harmful. ”
