Chapter 137: Numbers and Clocks (Plus 2)
Can this strange symbol be calculated? It's incredible! How did he do it?
"Grandson, how did you come up with such a strange and simple method?" Wu Zetian asked.
"Your Majesty! This is an occasional feeling when the grandson counts, it's nothing! But I just feel that it is quite useful, very concise. ”
"What Sun Er said is simple, why haven't others found out about it for thousands of years? It can be seen that Sun Er is really a genius! It's a real rarity. ”
"Your Majesty has an overreputation, and my grandson thinks that the counting method of this symbol can be promoted to the whole country, and compared with the previous methods, this is afraid to save a lot of manpower and material resources!" Wu Yanzhi pleaded.
The promotion of Arabic numerals, of course, has great significance, and there is no need to repeat it here.
"Well, my grandson's words are reasonable. It's such an easy way, why not? My grandson is really a genius of my martial arts family! But this symbol should have a name, right? Grandson, what do you think it's called? She asked.
"Grandmother, grandchildren think, why not call it Da Zhou Kaiyuan number? As soon as this number is promoted, it must be used for thousands of years, 10,000 years, and 10,000 years! It seems more appropriate to name it Da Zhou Kaiyuan. ”
When Shangguan Wan'er heard this, she secretly said in her heart: "King Donglai is really a rare genius in the world. He invented the Banzai chronograph, which no longer required a special person to manage the hourglass, saving a lot of trouble.
This thing is going to be popularized, but it's ten million times stronger than that sandglass! And he can use it anytime, anywhere, which is extremely convenient. In addition, this strange symbol is also very useful!
It is very inconvenient to write and count on weekdays, or when you are counting numbers, but it is very easy to use this method.
This is actually nothing, the key is that his name is good, what long live, what Da Zhou Kaiyuan, these names made the emperor and her old man listen to it, but she was so happy! ”
When he heard Wu Zetian, he was full of spring breeze: "Very good!" Wan'er, all under the system. Promote this notation method to the whole country, and order Donglai Wang Wuyan to concurrently serve as the Kaiyuan envoy. The first is to go to Chengjunjian (Guozijian) to teach this method to arithmetic students, and order the prime ministers to listen to Wu Yanzhi's lecture with the six Shangshu and Shilang.
The second is to promote this long live chronograph to the whole country. This stuff is very good, I think each county should have at least two. There is also a question of time proofreading, the production of this timekeeper, and the cost. It takes a person who can handle the matter. ”
Shangguan Wan'er nodded in response.
After looking at this long live timer, Wu Yanzhi led Wu Zetian to see this fairy bed.
"Grandson, why is this called the fairy bed? What's so special about it? ”
"Your Majesty, please see, this bed was made by dozens of craftsmen and took more than half a year to make. There is nothing else special, that is, this cushion is very special, please sit down and know. ”
When Wu Zetian heard it, this bed was indeed different, there was already a big cushion on it, unlike the usual bed, which had to be padded with a quilt.
So she slowly sat on the mat with the support of Shangguan Wan'er and many female officials.
It didn't matter if she sat down, but it really scared her!
"Grandson, what's in here? How can it still bounce? She asked, a little surprised.
"Your Majesty, here is a spring ......" Wu Yanzhi slowly told Emperor Wu Zetian about the structure of the mattress.
His mattress is not ordinary, this spring is of course unique, it has never been there since ancient times, and the natural martial arts are going to talk about it.
Finally, Wu Yanzhi also said that the addition of magnets can produce some strange healing abilities, increase sleep effects, and strengthen the body.
Hearing this, Emperor Wu Zetian nodded frequently: "It is indeed a good thing!" The grandson bothered more. ”
Finally, after looking at the sofa again, Wu Zetian was naturally full of praise: "Grandson, I think this free chair is even better than the fairy bed!" I spend most of my time sitting in this chair, so I can't sleep in a bed, can I? ”
"It's true, although my grandmother's body is very healthy, after all, it can't be compared with young people, and she usually sits in this leisure chair for a while longer, and she doesn't feel tired.
Although this thing is good, but the grandson doesn't know how much is needed in the palace? The grandson wants to produce more, and each palace will distribute a few sets! ”
When Wu Zetian heard this, this grandson seemed to know everything, and he was so considerate of himself. can't be let out easily, he is about the same age as the two Zhang brothers, it is better to let him stay in Shendu for more. One is responsible for the defense of the imperial palace in the capital, and the other is responsible for some palace affairs.
Thinking of this, he said, "Well, this method is good! In my opinion, you can go out to inspect once a year, and then handle the affairs of copper and iron, let the judges and inspectors under your command run away, and they have learned about the same, right? ”
"Aunt Qi, grandchildren have decided to go to Xingzhou next month to set up a steel-making workshop, and teach a few more inspectors and supervisors, and the future steel-making matters will still be handed over to them.
In addition, Sun Er is going to look for several places to mine and smelt iron in various parts of Hebei to increase the steel production of the Great Zhou.
In addition, the grandson also knows some methods of gold mining. Now that I am in Dazhou, the annual gold output is only tens of thousands of taels. The grandson wants to increase it to 230,000 taels for him! Wu Yanzhi said.
He could already see from Wu Zetian's expression that the emperor wanted to keep him in Luoyang. However, I still have some important tasks to complete.
This is an urgent need to increase steel production. Whether it is the production of agricultural tools, weapons, or other necessary iron tools, today's steel production is far from sufficient.
In addition, the soda ash was recovered, and it was all in Taiyuan, and it had to be transported back to Luoyang. The oil smelted will also be transported to Chang'an and Luoyang.
When Wu Zetian heard this, he smiled and nodded. I originally wanted to keep him in Luoyang, but now it seems that it can't be done for the time being. So he said: "My grandson thinks about the state affairs of the Great Zhou Dynasty everywhere, I am very relieved!" You can do things without worry. By the way, I will give your father Yuzhou Thorn History and Bachuan County Prince. You have a younger brother, even though he is a concubine, he is also allowed to be a knight. ”
"Grandson thank Grandma!" Wu Yanzhi was very happy.
This is a great gift! As the eldest son, he was given a knighthood, but he didn't expect the emperor to be happy, and he also gave his father a county duke, and let his younger brother inherit the title. Although it will be lowered by one rank, it is also a county duke, a very high title.
"Grandmother, grandson still has something to do. Grandmother, grandchildren have built Jiuding, has been completed, five days later is the auspicious day, according to the uncle King Liang, the day can be held to celebrate the ceremony! This matter is very important, please show it to my grandmother! Wu Yanzhi said.
"This matter has already been played by King Liang, I thought about it last night, so let's do it according to your plan! By the way, you serve as the commander-in-chief of the transportation of Jiuding to Mingtang! The Jiuding is so heavy, according to King Liang's estimation, I'm afraid it will take 100,000 people to transport, right? ”
100,000 people transported, what are you kidding? I saw him smile slightly: "Tell my grandmother, if you follow the most primitive method, you really need 1100,000 people!"
However, Sun Er has asked Shang Fangjian to make a special car to transport Jiuding, and this matter only needs 1,000 people, and all Jiuding can be transported to Mingtang in two days! "Please Baidu "Throw Book Network" Thank you for your support!
