Zhu Changyuan never expected that there would be such a high-end mathematical talent in the Ming Empire, and he had to admire: "Xu Gongzi is not simple, he knows so much, yes, I used the foreign method before!" ”

"Haha, I'll just say, how can there be any ghost drawing talisman to solve the problem. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info paused, and then asked: "But what is the solution of the equation that Mr. Tang said, what is the technique of Aix (x) and what I love (y)?" ”

"Exactly." Zhu Changyuan was completely convinced this time, but he didn't expect that the Ming Dynasty was full of talents, and some people understood this thing, and said: "Xu Gongzi really makes Zhu awe-inspired, he knows so much." ”

"I really don't understand, Mr. Tang used to teach me, but I thought that thing was too awkward, so I didn't learn it, and it was quite difficult to understand." After speaking, he seemed to think of something, and said: "But I learned a few numbers from Tang Ruowang, which are quite easy to use on weekdays, much easier to use than Chinese characters." ”

Write it out and show it to Zhu Changyuan while speaking, Zhu Changyuan laughed after reading it, isn't what Xu Ermo wrote out is Arabic numerals.

"Actually, it's not difficult to understand this thing, it's just that John Tang said that he was too complicated." looked at Xu Ermo and wrote an x a y, and said, "Is that thing written about this thing?" ”

Xu Ermo said, "Exactly." ”

"Actually, you can do without this thing at all, and it's the same with other characters, as soon as I say it, you will understand. For example, I use these words "zhi", "hu", "person" and "also", which can also be replaced. ”

"Is that okay?"

"Yes, I'll teach you another day, I'm not free today."

Xu Ermo said happily: "Okay, I'll go to the house to ask for advice another day." ”

The two chatted for a while, and Xu Ermo took his leave.

At this time, almost all the people from the Ministry of Industry who came to work in the morning came, Zhu Changyuan glanced at Liu Yunzhou, regardless of whether he would solve that problem or not, and he didn't plan to care about it, it was boring.

Xia Congliang just entered the door. ran to Liu Yunzhou's seat in a hurry and said, "It's not good, it's not good." ”

Liu Yunzhou said: "What's wrong. ”

While he was talking, he saw Li Ji, a foreigner, walking in from outside the door. With a serious face, seeing that Zhu Changyuan and Xia Congliang were not standing in the hall, they said angrily: "When will the matter over there on the balcony mountain be dealt with?" ”

Xia Congliang grimaced and said, "My lord." In the past, it took us at least a month to level the base of the tower, but now we are given three days, how can we do it, even if you break my leg, I can't help it. ”

"There is no need to break your legs, the officials have already informed Lord Xue that the imperial court has detained our rice for three months." After Li Ji finished speaking, he walked to the middle of the three of them, looked at Zhu Changyuan and emphasized it again. "All the personnel of the Ministry of Industry and the Cleaning Department have a share, and each of them will deduct your rice for three months."

"The Wen Pavilion Department has spoken, saying that it will give us three more days, and if the tower base is not leveled in three days, then it will not be a matter of three months of rice, and you will have to give me a drink of the northwest wind for the next year."

Xia Congliang's neck shrank, and Da Xia felt a cold air, and said, "My lord, it's not like that." This, this, no one has the ability to guarantee that it will be finished in three days? ”

"If it's not enough, it's also flat! I'm not even, there's no food! ”

Zhu Changyuan listened to their rambling argument for a while, and couldn't help but say, "Do you want to deduct my rice?" ”

"What do you say?" Li Ji asked angrily.

"But I've only been in the yamen for a few days. Besides, what happened on the balcony mountain has a half-penny relationship with me? Zhu Changyuan looked quite aggrieved.

Li Ji smiled coldly and sneered: "Are you a three-year-old child who doesn't understand the rules, since you are a person from the Qing Officials Division, of course you have to deduct it!" ”

Well, let you buckle. Anyway, Lao Tzu doesn't count on these wages to make a living.

Zhu Changyuan didn't care too much about these taels of rice, Nima's dignified six-grade official, a month's worth of rice is only ten stones, which is converted into five taels of silver, and it is only sixty taels a year, so Lao Tzu cares about this money?

I don't care if I don't care, but it's really unpleasant to do a big deal for no reason.

You must know that although this money is not much compared to Zhu Changyuan's own wealth, if it is placed among ordinary people, it will be necessary to buy a house in the capital.

"Today, right now, you two." Li Ji pointed at Xia Congliang and Liu Yunzhou, "Immediately pack up my things and live in Balcony Mountain, and I will level the tower base within three days day and night." ”

"Yes, sir!" Although the two were reluctant, they couldn't help it, and everyone understood the reason why the officials crushed people to death.

Looking at Zhu Changyuan, Li Ji pondered for a while and asked, "Is the Ciqing Palace cleaned up?" ”

Zhu Changyuan said: "If you go back to your lordship, it has been cleaned up." ”

"Alright then, you can also go to Balcony Hill after cleaning up, and you will stay there tonight, and bring some clothes and bedding home." After Li Ji finished speaking, he also sighed, shook his head and went out.

The three principals, you look at me, I look at you, and they all shook their heads.

Xia Congliang said: "Don't be stunned, just go home and prepare some clothes and thin quilts, anyway, there is nothing in the summer." Tilting his head, he asked Zhu Changyuan: "Does Lord Zhu know where the balcony mountain is?" ”

Zhu Changyuan nodded and said, "You go first, I'll go home and make some preparations, and I'll go over later." ”

I patted the horse all the way home, got some clothes, and went straight to Balcony Mountain. It took less than half an hour to get there.

Guanyin Tower, this building is designed and built by Xishitang John, it is a combination of Chinese and Western buildings, and the site is selected at the southern foot of Balcony Mountain, which is convenient to come and go.

When he arrived at the scene, Zhu Changyuan knew how lively it was, and it couldn't be described as crowded.

Leaving aside the officials involved in the construction, the number of farmers recruited was in the thousands, and this is only the number of people needed in the early stages of the project.

The area where the Guanyin tower site is located has been determined, and the base of the tower has been processed, it is a platform with large and small stones that is almost tens of meters long and wide, and the only defect is that the platform is not very smooth.

On the high platform, several guys in official uniforms pointed and pointed, and Zhu Changyuan looked at it, including his two colleagues Liu Yunzhou and Xia Congliang, and a few people in red official uniforms next to them.

Zhu Changyuan also sweated a lot, it seems that the punishment of the imperial court is still very effective, not only Xue Lianqian, the Ministry of Labor, came to the scene, it seems that there are two higher officials in front of him. Both of them are wearing red official uniforms, and they are very majestic.

"Who are those two people?" Zhu Changyuan stopped the horse and tied it to the tree next to him, and asked the little guy next to him.

The little guy took a look. said: "What do you mean by those two, one is Liu Zongzhou, the left attendant of the Ministry of Industry, and the other is Liu Zunxian, the current secretary of the Ministry of Industry." ”

, the bosses are here. Could it be that this goods have also been fined?

Zhu Changyuan straightened his clothes, followed the workers, went up to the high platform and stood at the end of the officials' line, and listened to Xue Lianqian introduce to the two leaders: "The directors of the camp and repair department are all present, and the foundation will be leveled within three days without stopping day and night." Please rest assured, this time we have not only increased the number of personnel, but also added three new leveling rods. ”

"Hmm." Liu Zongzhou, the left waiter of the Ministry of Industry, said: "It is good if there are many people, Zi said that there must be my teacher in the threesome, call all my colleagues over, listen to their methods, and maybe find a solution." ”

Liu Zunxian also nodded, agreed with Liu Zongzhou's point of view, and said, "Liu Shilang's words are not bad. This tower is related to the blessing of the next autumn harvest, so it should not be delayed for a moment. The meaning of the imperial court. That is what Your Majesty means, and I hope that all colleagues must work tirelessly and complete it as soon as possible! Otherwise, if we delay next year's blessing event, none of us will be able to escape the involvement. ”

"Yes, sir!"

"Get to work!" Yu Guang did not give up any opportunity to behave in front of the boss of the Ministry of Works, and once Liu Zunxian stopped talking, he began to organize the peasants to carry out leveling.

The first is to drag the leveling bar onto the platform.

Then, in Zhu Changyuan's surprised gaze, he began the leveling work.

I don't know why, the Ming Dynasty in the parallel world lagged behind a lot in the technology of civil construction. The principle of leveling is correct, but the accuracy is very poor.

This method of leveling is called vertical leveling. The so-called vertical is to determine the vertical first. Then the plane is determined. The specific operation method is: first make a T-shaped wooden pole, when leveling, the crossbar is parallel to the ground, the vertical rod is pestled to the sky, and then the middle of the vertical rod is hollowed out, and a small hammer hangs down from top to bottom.

The hammer naturally sags, and there is a silk thread on it. Swing from side to side. Once balanced, it is positioned exactly in the middle of the leveling rod, neither to the left nor to the right, and is properly vertical.

Since the relationship between the lower crossbar and the vertical bar is perpendicular to each other, once the vertical bar is vertical, then theoretically speaking, the crossbar should be horizontal, so as to determine the level, there is nothing wrong with it.

However, there is a big problem that cannot be solved, that is, the length of the horizontal rod is too short, and each time the leveling is only a few meters of the ground, so continuous leveling to the end, not only the error is large, but also quite troublesome.

In addition, it is difficult for the vertical rod and cross bar of this leveling rod to be truly vertical.

Therefore, the ancient leveling is such a continuous cycle to reduce the error, back and forth and finally smooth the foundation.

Zhu Changyuan came to the conclusion that it was very troublesome.

Besides, what is the leveling method in modern society, one is to measure with a level, which is naturally very accurate, and the error within a radius of 100 meters will never exceed three millimeters. The second method, which is the soil method of migrant workers on the construction site, is to cut off a slender water pipe, fill it with water, and level it with equal levels at both ends. The second method has a slightly larger error, but it is also within one centimeter, which is much stronger than the parallel world method of leveling the field.

Liu Zongzhou, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, was full of rhetoric when he spoke, opened his mouth and said, and closed his mouth to speak. Zhu Changyuan asked Xia Congliang next to him in a low voice: "This guy who opens his mouth and closes his mouth to Confucius is really difficult to understand, you can translate it for me." ”

Zhu Changyuan has an advantage, that is, if we have low knowledge, we will ask questions with an open mind, and we are not afraid of being embarrassed.

Xia Congliang originally wanted to answer well, but after listening to Zhu Changyuan's question, he looked at Liu Yunzhou with some embarrassment, and said, "This, this, let Lord Liu explain it to you, he knows better than me!" ”

Zhu Changyuan didn't take the initiative to provoke this guy, snorted, and said, "Why? ”

Xia Congliang grimaced and said in a low voice: "My lord, Lord Liu, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, is known as Zongzhou!" ”

Zhu Changyuan didn't understand too much for a while, and said, "What's wrong with Zong Zhou, and Lord Liu... Uh, uh! I understand. "Nima, these two goods should be related, one is called Liu Yunzhou, and the other is called Liu Zongzhou.

I bought a watch last year, what the hell is this.

"What's wrong?" Xue Lianqian looked at Zhu Changyuan and asked, "If you have any good ideas, you don't need to talk about them in private, you can say them, don't do it behind closed doors." ”

"Ugh!" Zhu Changyuan and Xia Congliang have big eyes and small eyes.

Liu Yunzhou next to him was a complete loss, and said, "I just saw Lord Zhu talking about it, it seems that there is a better way, right?" After speaking, he looked at Xue Lianqian with a smile in his eyes. (To be continued.) )

ps: Four hundred more words, what a loss, woo woo...
