Chapter 261: Explanation of the Stage Play
After solving a few equations, as the final finale project, Huzi directly offered a problem of chickens and rabbits in the same cage.
There are thirty-five on the top, ninety-four on the bottom, how many pheasants are there?
This question is recorded in Sun Tzu's Sutra, and the meaning of the classic interesting question is more difficult to calculate without using equations.
In later generations, junior high school students can solve the problem, at this time, anyone who can calculate this type of question is a big man.
The problem came out, and after everyone in the school put pen to paper and calculated it for a long time, someone began to find a solution.
Huzi was not in a hurry, and waited for a while before he said, "Is there a solution?" ”
Most of them answered, and after the answer, Huzi asked, "Who will do the math?" ”
The others in the school were not polite, and immediately recommended Zhang Shi, "Zhang Shi, you go!" ”
It is also quite appropriate for the father to answer the son's question.
Zhang Shi was not polite, and got up directly to answer, saying, "If you come, you will come, and you won't." ”
Without saying a word, Zhang Shi walked forward directly.
A piece of cement wall is written with charcoal, and the dim light is faintly invisible.
Zhang Shi began to write there, and while writing and chanting, he said: "This is a new solution, you can set the chicken has x, there are 35 heads on it, so there are 35 chickens and rabbits, so the rabbit is 35-x, and each chicken has two legs, that is 2x, and the rabbit has four legs, then it is 4 (35-x), there are 94 legs in total, and it can be synthesized 2x+4(35-x)=94, as long as you solve this equation, you can get a few chickens, know how many chickens there are, then the rabbit is not simple." ”
As he spoke, Zhang Shi began to solve this equation.
"First, it starts to split into 2x+140-4x=94, and then it becomes 46=2x, and finally it gets x=23, which means that there are 23 chickens and 12 rabbits."
A very simple question, after Zhang Shi calculated, he threw the charcoal down, and said with a smile: "Agreed." ”
After the calculation, Huzi smiled slightly, and said: "The calculation is not counted, it is very correct, this simple equation is here, next, I will teach you to read and recite the thousand-character text, you remember how to write the words in it, and it will be indispensable to use it in the future." ”
Soon, the recitation of the thousand-character text spread throughout the room.
"Heaven and earth are yellow, the universe is desolate, the sun and the moon are shining, the sun and the moon are shining, the sun and the moon are in the sky, the cold comes and the summer comes and goes, the autumn harvest and the winter hide..."
What Huzi learned every day was handed over to these people who came to study at night.
For these people, simply recognizing a word, and then being able to simply understand arithmetic, will be of great help to their daily life.
When he heard this, Emperor Hongzhi had no intention of continuing, and got up and left directly.
It's also very good that Emperor Hongzhi can patronize this night school, and he participates in the whole process, and there is no need to wait until this night school is over.
Emperor Hongzhi got up to leave, and Xie Zhi and the others naturally had to leave after him.
Out of the school, without waiting for Emperor Hongzhi to ask, Xie Zhi said: "Your Majesty, do you want to stay here to rest, or go to the county government." ”
If they slept in Xue Zhuang, the conditions would definitely be very simple, and it would be impossible for any one family to put down so many of them.
The only way to do this is to stay overnight.
This is not the worst, although they are all houses made of cement, but the conditions inside are very poor, at least the bedding will definitely not be so clean.
This is also Xie Zhi's governance after the clouds, if it is before, it is estimated that it is impossible for the members of the family to have a set of bedding for one person, let alone leave it for the guests.
After Xie Zhi asked, Emperor Hongzhi said in a deep voice: "Go back to the county government, Xuan Tangyin and the troupe will go together." ”
If it weren't for the fact that there were still many problems that needed to be solved in that big drama, Emperor Hongzhi would definitely not have traveled so much and returned to the county government.
Emperor Hongzhi spoke, and Xie Zhi immediately replied: "Yes, the minister will do it immediately!" ”
He Liang had always been with the coachmen dressed up in Jinyi Wei followed behind their group, and after Emperor Hongzhi had an order, Xie Zhi immediately called He Liang and said, "Inform Bohu to take his people to the county government immediately." ”
The content of the big play was polished and processed by Xie Zhi, but those performers were trained by Tang Yin.
When He Liang informed Tang Yin, Mu Bin had already instructed his men to put up the carriage.
After tossing and turning in front of the Fengtian Temple for a day, I finally got to the clouds after a tiring boat, but it was so late, I couldn't rest, and I had to run to the county office, and I was tired.
The carriage was quickly set up, but Emperor Hongzhi greeted: "Thank you, prince, you two will come with me in the carriage." ”
Dealing with the matter of the drama troupe, it is also necessary to ventilate, knowing the thoughts of Emperor Hongzhi, Xie Zhi can also grasp what to say and what not to say in front of those courtiers.
Therefore, Emperor Hongzhi shouted alone, but Xie Zhi did not refuse, and responded directly: "Obey the order." ”
Then, he followed Emperor Hongzhi into the carriage.
As the carriage began to drive, Emperor Hongzhi finally spoke: "So? You don't need to tell me? ”
How to answer, you have to think about it, you can't just come up and speak directly, right?
Even if you open your mouth, you have to know what you are saying!
Emperor Hongzhi spoke, Xie Zhicai smiled and replied: "There are too many things to say, and the minister just doesn't know where to start." ”
Zhu Houzhao is still quite studious after all, and after a trip to the school, he no longer cares about the things there, and asks directly: "That so-called equation is your style, right?" How to get rid of it, Hongu understood a little. ”
Zhu Houzhao was studious, and Emperor Hongzhi did not stop him.
That being the case, Xie Zhi replied: "This is simple, as long as Your Highness knows the solution of the equation, in such a situation, it will be much easier to assume it, for example, 4x, then it is 4 times x, and this 4 times x is 4 x, multiplication is, 4 people, 3 apples per person, how many apples are there in total, save one by one, save trouble, understand these, it will be easy to calculate." ”
After explaining for a long time, Zhu Houzhao listened carefully, and finally said: "This palace understands a little." ”
Since it is understood, then it is good, Xie Zhi smiled and said: "Your Highness understands, these simple arithmetic also play a more important role in daily life, so the minister thought that using this method may save a lot of steps." ”
After explaining the problem of the equation, I need to explain the problem of that troupe.
Xie Zhi smiled at Emperor Hongzhi, who had been waiting for a long time, and said: "Your Majesty, the big drama just now, the minister chose the name of a stage play for it, compared with other big dramas, there are less drama elements, and the general operas have the purpose of edification, but this stage drama is more of a propaganda role, and the essence of propaganda is to let ordinary people know about the imperial court, and understand that His Majesty is doing his best for the world's major affairs, in this way, how the imperial court, they themselves can clearly know, There is no longer a need for those scholars to sing praises for the court by word of mouth, so that the court will have less ties to the scholars. ”
In the past, the news was closed, and the court relied on the scholars, and if the scholars were offended, those ordinary people who did not know the reason were very likely to rise up under the bewitchment of the scholars.
This approach is also indirectly suppressing the expansion of the civil service.
Immediately afterwards, Xie Zhi said: "Naturally, if it is strictly said, it is inevitable that there will be a crime of trespassing, but the minister thinks that the members of these troupes can be fixed by the imperial court, and the person who plays His Royal Highness is played by a designated person, and the person who plays the role of His Royal Highness cannot be changed at will, so that the person who plays the role of His Majesty can also be prevented from acting in the name of His Majesty, and it can also protect the royal majesty to a certain extent." ”
At this time, although opera is already very widespread, Dou E is wronged, and Emperor Tang Ming often acts, but after all, what is staged is the past of the previous dynasty, like today, which directly starred in the emperor of this dynasty, it is not easy to accept.
On top of this matter, some emperors directly forbade rehearsals of their own dynasty.
In fact, this will is also to prevent someone from taking advantage of the secret scandal of this dynasty and becoming the object of entertainment for everyone.
Xie Zhi's idea, Emperor Hongzhi did not reply immediately.
This is also a new thing, and it is not so easy to accept it for a while, and there is always a time to digest it, Xie Zhi did not urge and waited for Emperor Hongzhi to finish thinking slowly.
Emperor Hongzhi is not the kind of stubborn person, and he can still accept it if he thinks it clearly.
