Chapter 138: Li Shimin digs a pit

As soon as Li Shimin got Wang Haoran's measurement data, he sent someone to Li Chunfeng for inspection, and he also brought the measuring tools, which Li Chunfeng requested. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info and the next day, Li Chunfeng came to the palace to face the saint.

"What was the result?" Without waiting for Li Chunfeng to finish the etiquette, Li Shimin couldn't wait to ask.

"Back to Your Majesty, the ministers and others reviewed overnight, and there was no mistake in the calculation, but Wang Yuma finally used the results of each group of measurement data to find an average as the final answer, which inevitably makes people feel a little random."

"How far do you think this answer might be from the real thing?"

"As Wang Juma calculated, the maximum and minimum values of the answers calculated by each set of data are far apart, nearly a thousand kilometers!"

"Haha...... Li Aiqing, this is how you are too serious, have you ever heard of the little young master guessing the glue tooth? Li Shimin asked with a smile.

Of course your majesty has heard of it. In addition, charity private schools set up by charities outside the city also teach this technique, which is called probability. Li Chunfeng was not interested in this probability theory, and felt that it was not of great use except for the use of Du Bo. However, he knew that Wang Haoran was a celebrity around Li Shimin, so he didn't dare to say much against it.

"Well, this method of measuring the moon to get the average is exactly that, some people may measure too big, some people measure too small. If you take the average of these values, the difference of 1,000 kilometers becomes less than 500 kilometers. You see, the measured results show that the moon is more than 4,000 kilometers large, and the distance between the moon and here is as much as 510,000 kilometers. The most important thing is the meaning, because in the past, the world knew very little about the things in heaven, so it was better to broaden the world's horizons. Li Shimin talked eloquently about the theory he learned from Wang Haoran, not to show off to Li Chunfeng, but to convince Li Chunfeng, and he also wanted Li Chunfeng to announce the measurement results to the people, after all, Li Chunfeng's achievements in astronomy and arithmetic are well known to everyone. If he comes forward to announce it, the people will definitely have no objections, so that the influence of this matter can be spread to the maximum, and then it can expand the thinking of the people, and it may not be possible to produce a few more Wang Haoran in the future!

"Your Majesty is far-sighted, and your subordinates have been taught!" Li Chunfeng is definitely not stupid, he can naturally guess Li Shimin's thoughts, "Wang Juma and his research team are a group of young people about twenty years old, and it is extremely rare to be able to measure this degree of accuracy. ”

"These boys are truly amazing! You can go with me tomorrow to reward them, and by the way, announce the measurements. Li Shimin decided to create more momentum for this matter, but inadvertently he saw the folds on the table again, frowned slightly, thought for a while and then changed his words: "En...... It's better for you to announce it tomorrow, and I'll make another plan for the reward. ”

In the afternoon, Wang Haoran received a holy decree that Li Shimin asked him to go to the Taiji Hall early tomorrow morning to listen to the reward. This made Wang Haoran confused, the Taiji Hall is a place for the ministers of the court to discuss national affairs, and if you measure the moon, you have to go to the Taiji Hall to listen to it, it seems to be a bit too much, right? Isn't there anything to talk about in the Imperial Court tomorrow? It's impossible! Li Shimin used force around Datang, so he had to follow up from time to time, right?

Wang Haoran couldn't think of Li Shimin's intentions, so he had to rush to the palace early in the morning before the hundred officials went to court to see if Li Shimin would summon him over first to reveal the situation. However, Wang Haoran did not wait for Li Shimin's summons, but met Fu'an, who was "passing by".

"Eh, isn't this the king's master? Why did you come here so early? Fu'an greeted him with a smile.

Wang Haoran was not sure if this Fu'an was instructed by Li Shimin to come, and seeing that there was no one else around, he simply lowered his voice and asked directly: "Father-in-law Fu, I just had a small fight a few days ago, but I didn't expect His Majesty to summon me to the Taiji Hall to listen to the reward, is there anything else?" ”

"Master Ma is too humble, and it is not too much to listen to the appreciation in the Taiji Hall for such a great credit for measuring the size of the moon. As for whether there are other things, we don't know. Recently, His Majesty has been worried about the Tang Dynasty's position and attitude towards the Japanese Kingdom, and our family still has to think of some ideas to ease His Majesty's mood, how can we have time to pay attention to other things. ”

"Oh? What's going on here? At this time, Wang Haoran was sure that Fu'an came by Li Shimin's will.

"A few days ago, His Majesty ordered the formation of two expedition teams to investigate the history of exchanges between the Tang Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom, and one of them went to the Wa State for investigation. However, almost all of the Manchu ministers of civil and military affairs opposed it, and jointly wrote a letter demanding the disbandment of the expedition, and His Majesty is now in a dilemma. ”

I see! Although Li Shimin set up an expedition team, its main task was to find some evidence that could prove that it had the same roots as the Japanese state, and to promote the process of assimilating the Japanese state. However, not many Tang people were willing to agree with this, but preferred to treat the Wa State with a downward attitude, because they had enough proud capital, economy, culture, and military ...... Which one is not on top of the world? Therefore, it is natural that Li Shimin's expedition team was ostracized, and no one wants to be compared with the humble race.

However, just such a thing, can Li Shimin avoid Wang Haoran? Wouldn't it be okay to discuss it with Wang Haoran directly? Wang Haoran couldn't figure it out, and he didn't have much time for him to ponder.

Soon after all the ministers went to court, Wang Haoran received an order to enter the Taiji Hall to listen to the rewards. Li Shimin's reward this time was very generous, money and silk were only a fraction, and the most important thing was that Li Shimin named Wang Haoran's research team the Datang Research Institute, and the director was naturally Wang Haoran, and some other positions were not designated as anyone, and Wang Haoran was fully arranged. It should be noted that these are not official positions, because merchants cannot be officials, and Wang Haoran's research team is basically full of merchants, so Li Shimin set up another name in disguise, and the staff in the institute can eat public meals, and at the same time, he can let these people know that he Li Shimin is the big owner of these people.

Li Shimin's series of strange behaviors made Wang Haoran feel inexplicable, could it be that Li Shimin's conscience found that he finally realized that he was too deductible before?

The truth soon surfaced, and after Li Shimin finished rewarding, he mentioned the matter of the expedition and said: "The day before yesterday, Zhong Aiqing jointly asked for the disbandment of the expedition, and the considerations were reasonable. It just so happens that Haoran is also here now, Haoran, since you proposed the matter of the expedition, then you should tell the ministers about the necessity, if you say that you are not convinced by the ministers, then I will disband the expedition! ”

Got caught! The first thought in Wang Haoran's mind was to be pitted, no wonder Li Shimin was suddenly generous, it turned out that he was going to pit others! In fact, Wang Haoran didn't officially tell Li Shimin about the expedition, that is, he just mentioned it casually, which is good, he was so cheated that he couldn't refute it, and he suddenly became the opponent of the ministers!
