In late April of the first year of Hongxi, an old minister who was over sixty years old entered Beijing to report to Emperor Hongxi, and this person was Huang Fu, who was the political envoy of Jiaozhi Chengxuan and the political envoy of the procurator of the criminal department.

In the third year of Yongle, the south was ****, and Emperor Yongle appointed Huang Fu to go to Liangguang to govern the army.

After the pacification, Jiaozhi was greatly governed, the people were satisfied, the society was stable, the economy was prosperous, and it became a famous new state in the Ming Dynasty, and Huang Fu was also able to serve as an official in the frontier for 19 years.

After Emperor Hongxi ascended the throne, he thought that Huang Fu was too cautious and unsuitable to continue to serve as the political envoy of Jiaozhi Chengxuan, so he recalled him and replaced him with Rong Changbo Chen Zhi, who was also in charge of Zhan Shifu after returning to Beijing, and assisted the crown prince Zhu Zhanji.

Huang Fu was a veteran of the Four Dynasties during the Hongwu Emperor period, and once served as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Punishment in the capital, and had a high prestige in the imperial court.

When he met Emperor Hongxi in the main hall, Li Yuntian, who was in the civil official queue, secretly looked at this thin old man with white hair and beard, but he was in good spirits.

Although Huang Fu was transferred back by Emperor Hong Xi because he thought he was too cautious, and because he was too old, it seemed to be a good treatment for him, but Li Yuntian knew that there was something else in this.

When Huang Fu was sent to Jiaozhi's office, Emperor Yongle also sent another person, this person was Ma Qi, the inner servant, as the town guard lieutenant of Jiaozhi.

During the Yongle period, the title of the inner servant who guarded in the field was "Zhongguan", which was an official position of the inner attendant.

And by the time of Emperor Hongxi, he strengthened the authority of those who guarded the internal servants in other places, and promoted the "middle officials" to "eunuchs" and became the town guard eunuchs.

Like "Zhongguan", "eunuch" is actually a kind of official position of the inner servant, and it is a high-level official position, and later due to various reasons, "eunuch" was generally referred to as the inner servant.

In fact, only those who are high and powerful in the inner servants will get the official position of "eunuch", such as the eunuch of the celebrant and the eunuch of the seal, the eunuch of the pen, and so on.

After Ma Qi took office, because he was guarding on behalf of the Son of Heaven, he acted unscrupulously, squeezed the people, looted the people's wealth, and acted as a prestige, and Huang Fu was repeatedly suppressed.

In the face of Huang Fu's suppression, Ma Qi was naturally not convinced, and immediately falsely accused Emperor Yongle of Huang Fu winning the hearts of the people in Jiaozhi, supporting the army and self-respect, and vainly trying to rebel, so that Emperor Yongle sent people to investigate, but it turned out that there was no such thing, and it was over.

It is interesting to note that Ma Qi was not falsely accused and convicted, but was sent by Emperor Yongle to reprimand him, and since then Ma Qi has become more unscrupulous.

After Emperor Hongxi succeeded to the throne, Ma Qi once again secretly played Huang Fu to buy people's hearts in Jiaozhi, holding heavy troops, so that the people of Jiaozhi only knew Huang Fu but did not know the Son of Heaven.

Jiaozhi was originally the place newly incorporated into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, so Emperor Hongxi attached great importance to it, and after verifying that Huang Fu was very famous in Jiaozhi as Ma Qi said, he decided to transfer Huang Fu back to the capital.

After all, Huang Fu has been an official in Jiaozhi for 19 years, and the officials of Jiaozhi are basically from his disciples, and in the long run, it is not conducive to the control of Jiaozhi by the imperial court, so Huang Fu wants to move his position and send Rong Changbo Chen Zhi to take over, so as to strengthen the control of the imperial court over Jiaozhi.

When Huang Fu left office, the people of Jiaozhi wept and said goodbye, which shows his high prestige in the local area.

It is rumored that when Emperor Hongxi heard the news, his brows furrowed slightly, for the Son of Heaven, a feudal official with a very high popular heart is a double-edged sword, which can not only stabilize the place, but also fight against the imperial court.

However, Emperor Hongxi was not thin on Huang Fu, and he was also in charge of the Zhan Mansion and assisted the prince, which could be regarded as a heavy responsibility.

"Your Majesty, Ma Qi, the lieutenant guard of Jiaozhi Town, is greedy by nature, and the minister is worried that it will cause trouble in the long run, so he will definitely remove the lieutenant officer of Jiaozhi Town." After reporting to Emperor Hongxi, Huang Fu bowed down and played loudly with a stern expression.

Li Yuntian couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, the town guards in various places were not only the eyes and ears of the emperor, but also had to suppress the power of local officials and restrain each other.

Even the brave and brave Emperor Yongle was worried that he would not be able to control his subordinates, so he sent a town guard officer, not to mention the gentle and kind Emperor Hongxi, who wanted to restrain the local officials with the town guard officer.

This is a contest between the monarch and the relative power, since Emperor Hongxi sent the inner servant Wang An to Gansu to serve as the eunuch of the town guard, he was one level higher than the town guard lieutenant officer, and it was obviously to strengthen the control of the military and political important places.

Maybe Ma Qi is really as greedy as Huang Fu said, but Ma Qi is the emperor's eyeliner in the final analysis, attached to the emperor and loyal to the emperor.

"Aiqing Frontier works hard for officials, take a good rest first, and discuss other things later." Sure enough, Emperor Hong Xi smiled slightly and quietly avoided this question.

"Thank you." Huang Fu couldn't hear Emperor Hong Xi's intentions, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a wry smile, and he bowed to Emperor Hong Xi to thank him, he had already done what he should do, as for the result, he could only resign himself to fate.

"Lord Huang, please stay!" After retreating, in front of Chengtian Gate, Li Yuntian walked a few steps quickly and called out to Huang Fu, who was talking and laughing with several ministers.

"Are you ......" Huang Fu saw Li Yuntian for the first time, looking at Li Yuntian quietly, a junior official of the sixth rank dared to call out to his dignified second grade official, it was really a little surprised.

"Xiaguan Metropolitan Procuratorate Huguang Dao supervises the imperial history Li Yuntian." Seeing this, Li Yuntian bowed to Huang Fu and gave him a salute. Introduce yourself.

"What is Li Yushi looking for?" When Huang Fu heard that the young man in front of him was Li Yuntian, who was ordered by Emperor Yongle to enter Beijing to deliver the edict, Huang Fu couldn't help but glance at Li Yuntian and asked in a deep voice.

"Lord Huang has been an official in Jiaozhi for 19 years, and he must know a lot about the geography and customs of Jiaozhi, and the lower official has set up a newspaper office, which has a special page to introduce the customs and customs of my Ming Dynasty, and the lower official hopes that the adult can provide some news about the lower official about Jiaozhi."

Li Yuntian explained to Huang Fu with a smile on his face, his purpose was definitely not the customs and customs of Jiaozhi, but the intricate situation, climate and landform of Jiaozhi.

As a second-rank member who has been in the Huan Sea for forty years, Li Yuntian believes that Huang Fu absolutely knows the intention of Emperor Yongle to send Jiaozhi to guard the lieutenant officials, but he still proposed to Emperor Hong Xi in the court to dismiss him, so the only explanation is that Ma Qi's practice must be very out of line, so it caused Huang Fu's worry.

This also means that Ma Qi will provoke a rebellion in Jiaozhi, and the Ming Dynasty will have a big war in Jiaozhi sooner or later, so Li Yuntian must be prepared first, and he can solve problems for the emperor at that time, this is the courtiers that the emperor hopes to meet, not those who complain all day long.

"This official will sort it out first, and hand it over to Li Yushi at that time." Huang Fu didn't know if Li Yuntian's move was Emperor Hong Xi's intention, after all, Li Yuntian was a celebrity in front of Emperor Hong Xi, so he agreed after a while.

"The lower official thanked Lord Huang." Li Yuntian bowed to Huang Fu when he heard this, saluted in a proper manner, and then strode away.

Huang Fu frowned and looked at Li Yuntian's back, although Li Yuntian was a saint, he was humble and polite, and he knew at a glance that he was not an idle person, and he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse to be targeted by him this time, after all, his return to Beijing this time could be regarded as a bright rise and a secret fall, indicating that Emperor Hong Xi was dissatisfied with him.

As the saying goes, the power of heaven is unpredictable, Huang Fu has experienced too much deceit in the officialdom, so he naturally has to think deeply about it.

Li Yuntian just wanted to collect some information from Huang Fu in case of emergency, where did he think that it would bring him such confusion, which made Huang Fu panic.

For Li Yuntian, the most important thing he has done at present is to formally propose Arabic numerals in the name of Ming Xin Jushi in the Ming Xin Pao, and then introduce the method of addition and subtraction, and give examples to prove the applicability of Arabic numerals.

As soon as this remark was published, it immediately caused a violent sensation among the scholars of the capital, especially the prisoners of the Guozijian, who were interested in following the method handed in by the newspaper, and found that it was not only fast, but also convenient, and it was simply perfect.

In ancient times, people did not use Arabic numerals, they used decimal arithmetic notation.

The so-called chip counting method refers to the fact that people use some small sticks of the same length and thickness to count and calculate.

Most of the sticks were made of bamboo, but also wood, animal bones, ivory, and metal, and about 270 pieces were made in a bunch, which were placed in a cloth bag and carried around the waist.

When you need to count and calculate, take them out and put them on the table, ** or on the ground to fiddle with them to make simple calculations.

Don't underestimate these inconspicuous little sticks, they have made great contributions in the history of ancient mathematics, and their use seems simple, but in fact they have gone through a full historical process.

In the arithmetic method, there are two types of arrangement: vertical and horizontal:

1 to 4 means placing 1 to 4 small sticks vertically.

5. Place 1 small wooden stick horizontally.

6 to 9, first place 1 small stick horizontally, and then place 1 to 4 small sticks vertically on top, which is equivalent to adding 1 to 4 on top of 5.

As for 0, when encountering 0, empty the sticks on the ground.

Its counting method is also very special, the stick is placed vertically in the single digit, the stick is placed horizontally in the ten digits, the hundreds are placed vertically, the thousand digits are placed horizontally, and the ten thousand digits are placed vertically...... And so on.

There is a law of counting chips: where the method is calculated, the first to know its position, a bit) vertical ten hundred) horizontal, hundreds of thousands of stiff, thousands of each other, thousands of responsibilities.

In other words, when counting in this way, a number has to be placed with many wooden sticks so that it can be used to express its meaning, which seems very troublesome.

Arabic numerals perfectly avoided this shortcoming, and they were also decimal arithmetic, so that the scholars could understand them very easily, and they did not have to go through the hassle of swinging sticks.

Moreover, Arabic numerals correspond to traditional capital letters, so that they can be written clearly and clearly at a glance, and their advantages are obvious.

As for the release of the law of addition and subtraction, it was regarded as a treasure book of algorithms by the scholars of the capital, which made the name of the Ming Xinju scholars among the scholars of the capital reach a new height.

Some of the scholars and prisoners even came to Mingxin Pavilion to ask for a new monk, but Qi Fu persuaded them to leave, saying that there would be an exam in a month, and if they could skillfully use Arabic numerals and addition and subtraction, then Mingyue would teach them a deeper level of arithmetic.

This made many scholars and prisoners eager to try, and they wanted to pass the guò exam with all their might, and to see the true face of Mingyue Jushi's Lushan, Li Yuntian successfully aroused the interest of these scholars and prisoners. One
