Chapter 188: New Calculations

"Sister, the emperor is not the kind of person who likes women who don't understand anything, you do something practical, even if you have a little bit of your own thoughts, as long as you don't hide it from the emperor, he doesn't care about you." Huang Shimei continued to persuade Wan Guifei: "As long as the ministers outside agree, the emperor is naturally willing to push the boat along the river." ”

"Which ministers really think that their sister is virtuous, instead of thinking that their sister does not abide by the way of concubines?"

"Justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, besides, even if my sister has done something wrong, but this heart that works for the country and contributes to the court, who can say that it is not at all?" Huang Shimei said slowly: "Filial piety comes first, no matter what you do, there is no filial piety in the world; All evils and fornications are the head, and there is no one in the world who is perfect regardless of the traces. ”

Hearing this, Concubine Wan's eyes became firm, and she nodded and said, "The palace will pay for it, can you make the effort?" This recruits, looking for a factory, this palace is not easy to go. ”

Huang Shimei laughed and said: "Where do you say that, the four sisters of Guifei Niangniang and us all contribute so much money." It's up to us to do things, as long as the concubine Niangniang comes to a tea party from time to time, a party, and brings our guests over,"

"Hahahaha......" Concubine Wan smiled heartily, and immediately agreed, tomorrow she will send someone to send silver, and the five of them will divide it equally, each of them will pay five hundred taels first, and refund more and make up for less. At this time, Xu Qi suddenly broke in, came in with a small wooden jar and said, "I also want to participate, I have money!" ”

In an uproar, Xu Qi opened the small wooden jar, accidentally knocked it to the ground for a while, and rolled the silver fruit on the ground.

---- Xuanwu Gate

Three poles on the sun.

"Who realizes the big dream first, I know it in my life, the grass hall is asleep in spring, and the day outside the window is ......delayed" Xu Qing turned over a carp and kicked the quilt away. Because of the fragrance of sleep, Xu Qing unconsciously recited the poem.

At this time, a voice came from outside the door: "Lord Xu is really a good export!" ”

Xu Qing naturally knew that this was Wei Xian coming, brushed his teeth with mint salt water, Xu Qing put on his official uniform, and sat down with Wei Xian at the official office in front. On weekdays, Xu Qing has never been there, but not today, because there are a few doctors of arithmetic who are too learned to come, so he has to sit in the office. By the way, Xu Qing ate some baked cakes in the self-cafeteria in the school yard. After thinking about it, Xu Qing left half of it and put it on the table of the official office, and poured half a bowl of soup and put it on the table.

didn't wait long, and the soldiers outside arrived: "General, there is a bachelor from the Zhaowen Pavilion outside the door, and the doctor of Taixue is asking to see you." ”

Xu Qingxin finally came, so he got up and went outside with the soldiers to greet him. But seeing a couple of early gentlemen, walked in. Xu Qing swept these people and put his mind at ease. In ancient times, being an official was a glorious thing, and when a young man became an official, he was young and ambitious, and he must be proud, so he walked with his head held high. But when he is an old official, he knows how to be respectful, and most of them are a little hunchbacked.

The people in front of him are all hunchbacked people. Seeing Xu Qing go out to greet him, several people immediately knelt down and said, "Xiaguan and others see Lord Xu." ”

Xu Qing hurriedly helped them up and said, "Doctors, please sit in the official office." ”

Unlike other officials, these doctors were all literati, and they were different from the kind of literati of the Qing Dynasty. Since he is a literati, he must also have the arrogance of a literati, and to deal with these bachelors, Xu Qing needs to retreat as advance.

Xu Qing's official office is not big, a few seats are placed in front of them, and they can see clearly what Xu Qing has on the table at a glance. Seeing half of the baked cakes and a bowl of clear soup on Xu Qing's table, several doctors couldn't help but nod and praised one after another: "Lord Xu is in a high position, and he can live so simply, he really has the demeanor of two saints." ”

Xu Qing smiled in his heart when he heard this, cleaned up the things on the table, and then said to a few doctors: "Doctors, the Holy Lord instructed me to compile this new arithmetic and teach new numbers to students all over the world. It is difficult to compile a book, and it is difficult for Xu to do it on his own, and he still needs your help. ”

Several doctors took over and said, "Lord Xu is holding the bull's ear, and we will follow it." ”

"Ahem, the first thing is to know these new numbers, please look at ......"

Xu Qing told Li Yuan and them what he told them last night, and told these doctors. They are worthy of being proficient in arithmetic, as soon as Xu Qing said the law, they understood in their hearts, and they didn't know how much faster than Li Yuan. From noon to night, Xu Qing had already used Arabic numerals to repeat the elementary school arithmetic he thought of.

Like a soulful song, everyone present quieted down, immersed in the beauty of the new number, unable to extricate themselves. At this time, Wei Xian sent a few bowls of tea, and everyone took a sip. The doctors got up and said to Xu Qing: "Thank you, Lord Xu, for your teaching......"

Xu Qing waved his hand and said, "You don't need to thank you for doing things for the imperial court." It's just that my new numbers have been placed here, and everything that can be thought of in my stomach has been said, so you can use it to make up a book. ”

Several doctors bowed and said, "Your Majesty obeys." ”

Xu Qing sighed and added: "The compiled books should be written in the vernacular as much as possible, and some events that can be encountered in life should be selected as example topics. It is necessary not only to explain the arithmetic thoroughly, but also to let the reader know the application. ”

Several doctors glanced at each other and asked suspiciously, "Lord Xu, this new sutra should be in the vernacular?" ”

Xu Qing nodded and said: "This new arithmetic should not only be seen by scholars, but also benefit the people, which is also the purpose of my creation of the new number." ”

Arabic numerals can be widely used in order to facilitate calculation, and convenient calculation is to make people understand and learn. In this way, the people will not be deceived by the word games of the great families. If the family monopolizes knowledge, it will go against Xu Qing's original intention.

---- camp state

Prince Li Jiancheng has been dispatching troops for half a month, and due to the heavy snow blocking the road, there has been no trace of the enemy for many days. For half a month, there has been no meritorious service. It seems that Xue Yantuo got half of the letter, and only shrank in his hidden tent, refusing to send cavalry out.

When the first spring breeze blew to this northern fortress, Li Jiancheng was also tired of the days when he could not find the enemy, especially when his cronies had already told him the news of Li Shimin's victory in Tuyuhun.

The white jade wine glass and the jade wine pot were overturned to the ground by Li Jiancheng, and then the drums gathered. Li Jiancheng said, why should he find Xue Yantuo when the snow is still deep and the cavalry is inconvenient, beat him hard, and then let the generals come up with ideas.

The generals hesitated for a moment, and persuaded Li Shimin not to send troops, and to defend the city fortress as the main task. Li Jiancheng was furious, whipped several generals with strong opposition, and half an hour later, a group of people and horses left the camp in the state city. Subsequently, a letter of 100,000 urgency rushed from Yingzhou to Chang'an.

I saw this biao man and horse, well-armed, tall and big, and a good elite momentum. In fact, this is Li Jiancheng's own pro-army, Long Wujun. Li Shimin, the king of Qin, also had his own pro-army, called the Shence Army. In addition, the Shenwu Army and the Yulin Army are the pro-army of the old man Li Yuan, among which the Yuan Cong Forbidden Army under Xu Qing is the one who followed Li Yuan from the beginning of Taiyuan, and also belongs to the Shenwu Army.
