Chapter 24: Circumferential Numbers

Rush to the list and add more, ask for recommendations and collections......

In the well-guarded lower palace, but suddenly attacked, Yu Xi and Mu Xia were shocked, and hurriedly shouted to protect the lord, drawing their swords and swinging their swords to kill that person.

"Slow down!" Zhao Wuxian hurriedly stopped them.

When the strange figure got closer, they saw clearly that it was actually a planner who usually paid special attention to appearance.

How did he become like this?

Ji Qiao's expression was a little obsessed and crazy, he also recognized Zhao Wuxian, so he couldn't help but come over, and his dirty hands tightly grasped the rails of the car, for fear that Zhao Wuxian would leave.

"A careless little gentleman? It's a careless little gentleman! I...... I've figured it out, I've figured it out! ”

At this time, he seemed to have suddenly comprehended the principle of buoyancy while taking a naked bath, and he was in a state of extreme excitement.

Zhao Wuxian looked at Ji Qiao with great sympathy, only to see that his lips were cracked, his hair was scattered, he was covered in sand, and his bottom was broken through several holes, and he couldn't help but feel a little ...... for this Spring and Autumn mathematician Guilty?

Because yesterday he was happy to get the territory and the talisman, and when he was happy, he forgot about this mathematician who was still desperately cutting the circle!

"Little gentleman, your circumcision technique is really useful, I spent a day and a night, without eating or sleeping, and cut it to three thousand and twenty-four sides! Finally, I finally got the approximate rate to find the circle and accumulate steps! ”

Zhao Wuxian admired it even more, the sky was pitiful, Ji Qiao slowly completed this great project with that complicated calculation chip, the workload is definitely not small, it is estimated that nearly 10,000 calculation sticks have been used, and the entire courtyard of Erjin is filled.

Ji Qiao slowly calmed down, like an elementary school dog eager to show off his arithmetic ability in front of the math teacher, he hurriedly reported the string of numbers, and then looked at Zhao Wuxian with an expectant look.

This is what awaits him...... Give someone a pat on the back?

Well, that's a good answer, I'll give you a little red flower next month? And then touch your head?

However, Zhao Wuxian listened to it and groaned, 3.1415, this is the result of Ji Qiao, and it is also the initial answer made by Liu Zheng in the Wei and Jin dynasties.

However, it's not perfect.

"Sir, you're pretty close to getting it right."

Ji Qiao's face is like a frosted eggplant, close to correct? So is it still not right? As a math expert, there's nothing more frustrating than doing arithmetic problems wrong.

So Zhao Wuxian pulled Ji Qiao into the house, asked the maid to take a towel and wiped his face, and then wrote a string of mysterious symbols with a brush on a piece of wooden tablet, 3.1415926.

Ji Qiao's mouth opened wide, he meditated hard, and the result of painstaking and painstaking cutting for a day and a night, Zhao Wuxian wrote it out in an instant.

Plopped, the arrogant Ji Qiao knelt on the ground suddenly, and Zhao Wuxian, who was still his student in name, did not dare to hold it up, so he hurriedly avoided it and also saluted Ji Qiao.

"Why should the gentleman be like this, he would kill the boy."

"Please teach me this mystical arithmetic!

"Mystical arithmetic? Okay, I'll agree, can't I do it, sir, hurry up, if you do it again, it will really break the life of the kid. Zhao Wuxian's heart was happy, he knew that his first important minister in the future was about to enter the urn.

It can be said that the finances of more than 2,000 households in the Xia Palace and the surrounding small towns, and even the millions of people of the Zhao family, are in the hands of the bag of calculations on the waist of Ji Qiao. With his help, Zhao Wuxian has a few more chances of winning, so to speak, he has picked up a treasure!

The room was dim, so that the maids were holding the palace lanterns beside them, and Wuxian and Ji Qiao sat opposite each other on the bamboo mats.

Since it would take another thousand years for Ah San to invent the Arabic numerals of later generations, Zhao Wuxian unceremoniously plagiarized them for his own use. As for the inventor, he did not take credit, but directly pushed it to Zhou Gongdan, who is said to have created the Zhou Ji Sutra and is quite accomplished in mathematics.

Zhao Wuxian pretended to be mysterious and said: "Sir, in fact, the kid once dreamed of Zhou Wengong, and he taught me this set of numbers, and I will name it ...... for the time being Circumferential figures! ”

"Circumferential numbers?" Sounding so powerful, Ji Qiao nodded heavily, he was very convinced of Zhao Wuxian's statement. The great powers of this world will dream of the ancient sages from time to time, and I heard that Kong Qiu, the wise man of the Lu Kingdom, also often dreams of Zhou Gong.

"However, Zhou Gong didn't say that he could pass it on to others...... Alas, it's really hard. ”

Ji Qiao's heart tightened, could it be the kind of secret technique that only passes on to direct descendants? He suddenly felt desperate, he could apprentice with an old face, but unless he committed suicide and went to Jiuyou's big and young priest's report to reshape him as a man, he couldn't become a gentleman's unsympathetic son! It's over, it's over, this mysterious circumferential number will miss him.

He was heartbroken, and his eyes were dark, but he heard Zhao Wuxian continue:

"Actually, my stupid boy is sitting on such magical arithmetic numbers, it's like a puppet, it's really a tyrannical thing. According to the boy's thoughts, Mr. is a genius in arithmetic, and Zhou Gong should actually entrust his dream to you, which is beneficial to the people of all generations, just like a sword for a warrior and a rouge for a beautiful woman. So I should have taught it on my behalf, but the boy was appointed by his father, and he was going to Chengdi to be the village ruler early the day after tomorrow, so I'm afraid I won't have this time for the time being. ”

Ji Qiao, who saw a hope again, muttered to himself: "There must be a way to achieve both, there must be!" ”

Zhao Wuxian seemed to remember at this moment, "When the kid is weak, he has to govern a hundred townships, and he doesn't know a lot of things, if there is an experienced planner by his side to assist......"

He then looked at Ji Qiao with a "you know" look.

Ji Qiao understands in seconds.

He is the chief planner of the lower palace, a sergeant, and can often walk around the head of the family, Zhao Ying, and he is tall and tall, and he can also handle the finances of the entire Zhao family of nearly one million people.

But Chengyi is only a small township of 100 households, and Ji Qiao has always been responsible for managing the upper plans of various places, so he knows that it is very barren and the people of the clan are untamable.

But at this moment, he patted his thigh without hesitation, stood up and said: "Don't worry, little gentleman, Qiao will go and submit his resignation and apply to be transferred to Chengyi as a planner, little gentleman...... No, Lord, you can't do without me! ”

……

Not to mention how much trouble Ji Qiao went to submit his resignation in the middle of the night, which caused a lot of trouble to Zhao Ying, who had already fallen asleep, and after the lack of Ji Qiao, the pillar of Ji Qiao, the work efficiency of the upper calculation, which was already close to the end of the year, was reduced by several percent.

It was only said that in the early morning of the next day, Zhao Wuxian wore a set of calfskin armor painted in black color, and took five sturdy young men selected from the stable to the lower palace schoolyard.

He carried a bronze "long sword" newly created by a craftsman on his waist - although the craftsman called it a long sword, Zhao Wuxian gestured with his hand and found that it was only two feet!

The circumference is 23.1 centimeters, two feet, that is, less than half a meter, which is also called long? It's a short sword, dear!

However, the truth is cruel, for a weapon like a bronze sword, two feet is really long. The craftsman then showed Zhao Wuxian the real short sword, which was only a foot long, forged into a willow leaf shape, and could only be used for self-defense, or for stabbing closely. For example, the world-famous fish intestine sword is actually similar to the dagger of later generations.

The sword commonly used by the sergeant doctor of Jin ** is two feet in the standard length, and the three-foot sword is rare in the world, after all, the casting and forging technology of this era is limited, and the ductility of copper and tin is like that, and it is easy to break if it is too long. Maybe you have to order the land of Wu Yue, where you specialize in forging swords, to find a few real ones that can be used. Sword......

The reason why Zhao Wuxian came here was to inspect the first armed force that Jia Sima had handed over to him.

The military structure of the Jin State is divided into: army, division, and brigade......

Seeing this, don't be in a hurry to scold. In fact, when Zhao Wuxian first learned about the military structure of the Spring and Autumn Period, he almost bit his tongue, but he flipped through the Zhou Li and Jin ** Law "The Law of Xuanzi", which was indeed written like this:

Where the army is controlled, 12,500 people are an army, Zhou Tianzi can build six armies, large vassal states such as Jin, Qi, Qin and other armies to build three armies, sub-states such as Song, Zheng and other to build two armies, small countries such as Cao, Di and so on only one army.

The generals are all served by the secretary. below the army level, 2,500 people are a division, and the division commanders are all senior doctors and middle doctors; 500 people are a brigade, and the brigade commanders are all served by doctors; 100 people are a pawn, and the captain is a sergeant; Twenty-five people are one or two, and both horses are sergeants; Five people are in the army, and the army has a captain, which is served by the corporal.

Of course, this is only a theoretical number, the three armies of the Jin State actually exceeded the amount stipulated by Zhou Li, and even the number of half of the army mobilized by the Zhao clan exceeded 30,000 soldiers. As for Zhou Tianzi, it is now difficult to even raise a full army.

The names of military divisions and brigades have existed since ancient times, so there are such sayings as "the defeat of the three armies", "the victory of the king division" and "the invigorating brigade" in the history books of the Spring and Autumn Period.

On the contrary, it was the military division brigade of foreign countries in later generations, which was the translated name.

The two horses who were in charge of these twenty people were named Yang Tongue Rong. He is in his twenties, with a round head and a tiger body, a beard on his chin, and leather armor, which looks very powerful, but his voice is polite and polite, with a bit of aristocratic temperament.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the military generals of Wenchen have not yet separated, and they can wield halberds to kill the enemy when they wear armor and wear armor, and they can write poems with high crowns and Bo belts.

He respectfully saluted Zhao Wuxian and introduced the composition of the two Zhao soldiers.
