Looking at the old man's excited expression, Zhu Zhanji shook his head with a smile.

This old man of his own family, seeing this firearm is closer than his own grandson.

In addition to the old man, the dolls born by the old man have also inherited the fine traditions of the old man, and they are with the old man, and they move faster than the other.

is the only one whose father Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Gaochi, is too fat to move his legs, and he is out of breath when he walks, which is still under the torture of Zhu Zhanji recently, and his body has lost a lot of weight.

However, when his father Zhu Gaochi passed by him, he couldn't help frowning and accusing: "You kid just mess around with your grandfather, it's hard to get some silver, give some benefits to the people, and give the officials a handout, war, war, you know that there is a war when you get up in a day, you grandparents and grandchildren just mess around!" ”

For Daddy Zhu Gaochi, there are more places for the court to use silver, and although the border in the north has been disturbed, isn't this a normal thing, since ancient times, all dynasties, which dynasty will not have such a thing, send some troops, name the general to clean up, why this every time the emperor has to drive the expedition in person, and as soon as he set off, he will make a big move, revitalize the army, and work hard and lose money.

It's not going to be a good day at all.

Looking at his father Zhu Gaochi frowning and looking sad, Zhu Zhanji let out a long sigh.

Secretly said that what Dad said was right, as a big country, he gathered the strength of the whole country to crusade against foreign enemies at every turn, which seems to be majestic, but he knows what he actually does.

The majesty is out, and the name is also out.

But what is behind it, it is the unspeakable suffering of the common people, and the trauma of the Ming Dynasty.

This trauma was not inflicted by others, but by the court that collected taxes for the war.

Recalling Wei Qing, Huo Quai, and Li Guang of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty during the Han Dynasty, the wolf Juxu was sealed.....

In the entire history of China's foreign wars, it can be counted on your fingers, but what kind of life are the people in China?

Now his grandfather Yongle's generation, why not.

Strong is also strong because of his grandfather's decades of hard work and accumulation of national strength.

The emphasis on agriculture and the suppression of commerce ensured the satisfaction of the Ming Dynasty in basic agriculture and grain.

Therefore, he Zhu Zhanji's attitude towards his father, he Zhu Zhanji can't deny it.

But on the other hand, his grandfather was not wrong.

The north has been the first enemy of the Chinese Dynasty since ancient times, the Xiongnu, Khitan, Mongolia, and then the current Tatar and Warat.

and then in the future was reached by Warat to the gate of the capital.

The people of the north were too much of a threat to China.

In this period, it can be said that Mongolia in the north was the weakest time, and after the destruction of the Yuan Dynasty, its nobles fled to the north and were divided into many forces.

The old man actually knows the situation in China, and he knows his father Zhu Gaochi's thoughts even better.

It is even clearer that he can no longer fight in the Ming Dynasty.

But what can I do?

Don't you fight?

After decades, hundreds of years, Mongolia in the north didn't even need these, and in a few years, such a powerful figure came out to unify the north, and immediately became a fierce enemy that could threaten the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, the old man's idea is very simple, take advantage of his illness and ask him to die.

Whether it is said that he wants to establish a great cause, whether it is said that he loves to fight, or whether it is a general of the expedition to the north.

He, who is a grandfather, has fought all his life, and he can't leave the disaster to his children and grandchildren in the future.

His father, Zhu Yuanzhang, swept away the noble forces in the country when the Ming Dynasty was established for his children and grandchildren, abolished Zhongshu Province, and further concentrated power.

These are not accumulating virtue for the children and grandchildren of future generations.

If his father Zhu Yuanzhang really doesn't care about future generations, does he need to abolish Zhongshu Province and kill Xungui?

No, you don't.

If he Zhu Yuanzhang lives for one day, those generals and nobles will not dare to rebel.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang is the ancestor of the rebellion, why do they think they can fight with the big brother who took the lead in the rebellion.

At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang could conquer the world with only one broken bowl, but now that he has mastered the world, do you think he can rebel?

Therefore, Zhu Di also understands his father Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts.

And he, Zhu Di, is also learning from his father Zhu Yuanzhang.

His father cleared the inside, then he Zhu Di cleared the outside for the Ming Dynasty!

Knowing all this, what can he Zhu Zhanji do.

Daddy and Grandpa are right.

None of them can be refuted.

However, he, Zhu Zhanji, is still a little selfish.

Later generations Qingchui used the Ming Dynasty territory to disgust his ancestors all day long, but he didn't know that without him in the Ming Dynasty, you wouldn't dare to brag about his unbroken Chinese inheritance in later generations.

What are the four ancient civilizations, only China has been inherited to this day.

What disguised as a state of civilization.

Without the nail of the Ming Dynasty, with the 276-year national ancestry, it was firmly nailed in the history of China, so that the ridge of the Chinese nation stood straight and straight.

Besides, you are the only one of the four ancient countries that has been inherited to this day, then it is not blowing you, it is disgusting you.

Therefore, this battle must not only be fought, but also fought beautifully!

Knock off the knees that can't be stiffened by the blow to him!

If you can't stand up, lie down!

"Stinky boy!"

The old man in the distance shouted, and Zhu Zhanji hurriedly put away his thoughts and rushed over.

The entrance to the arsenal.

Many craftsmen are experimenting with newly developed artillery.

However, it was not so much about testing artillery as it was about testing new types of shells.

Like the firecracker, the artillery of the Yongle period was still in the embryonic stage of artillery.

But even so, the firearms controlled by the Ming Dynasty army are still at the current world's first-class level.

To put it simply, it works exactly the same way as a firebolt.

It's just that it has changed from the use of individual sergeants to the form of cannons.

The same is done by the explosion of gunpowder in the powder pool, which causes the impact force to cause the ammunition in the barrel to be fired down the barrel.

These ammunition can also be iron, stones, buckshot, etc.

It's just that the caliber is larger, the range is farther, and the power is greater.

But such firearms have great limitations.

Therefore, on the basis of the original artillery, Zhu Zhanji tried to improve it, and the improvement ideas given were also very simple, which was also improved by Zhu Zhanji through his understanding of the artillery in his previous life.

But it's not so much about improving artillery as about improving ammunition.

Because the firing device of the artillery has always been used as an igniter and a tool for aiming to a large extent.

For example, the barrel of the cannonball can be fired in a predetermined direction.

But obviously, the impact generated by an explosion in the barrel alone was not enough to increase the power of the gun.

Regarding this point, Zhu Zhanji's deepest memory is a war TV series of the Qing Dynasty.

During the Qing Dynasty's naval wars with foreign countries.

When a Qing Dynasty shell fell on a foreign battleship, all the foreign soldiers on the battleship panicked and lay on the ground.

However, after waiting for a long time, the shell did not go off and did not explode.

In the end, it turned out that the shell was simply an iron ball.

There was no explosion at all.

This is Zhu Zhanji's memory when he was a child, and the feeling of being completely backward in technology has been unforgettable for decades.

And now the artillery of the Ming Dynasty is actually the same reason, although the iron ball is a bit ridiculous, but the reason is the same.

Through those hard objects, hurting people from a long distance, to put it bluntly, is there any essential difference between it and bows and arrows and catapults?

And the explosion only occurred in the barrel ....

This is not what Zhu Zhanji wants to see.

The direction of this improvement is ammunition.

The fundamental reason why modern artillery weapons in later generations can be fired for a long time and only explode when they reach their destination is precisely because of the advanced degree of ammunition.

Although the impact force and firing power generated by the ammunition are the same as the principles of today's artillery.

But ammunition is simply divided into two parts.

One is the base of the ammunition, which is the cause of the impact and power of the ammunition and missiles.

The base of the gun, through an automatic striking method, such as a firing pin, will break the more fragile part of the ammunition base, and at the same time the primer will be broken, generating sparks and igniting until it is fired through the barrel.

After the power generated by the gunpowder at the base of the ammunition is finished, or after hitting the target, the gunpowder in front of the ammunition is automatically detonated in many ways.

For example, the detonator at the head of the ammunition triggers the ignition program through the impact of the warhead, igniting the internal gunpowder and exploding.

Or, through the rotation of the spiral, it will automatically explode after how much it has been rotated.

There is also electronic detonation and so on.

But in general, there are two kinds, trigger type and fuze modulation type.

Although there is certainly no such advanced technology in this era, it can't be copied, and some simple ones are not possible according to the principle.

According to the way of warfare in today's era, the easiest way to achieve the purpose of firing and then exploding is to delay the lead time!

For example, in today's era, an explosion still occurs in the chamber of the artillery, generating power.

However, the entire cannonball is made into a large iron ball, which is large enough to withstand the explosion of the artillery chamber, and then a fuse is left in the reserved opening of this iron ball.

While the fuse explodes to produce a driving force, it also ignites the fuse.

When the shell reaches a certain distance, the fuse burns out, igniting the internal gunpowder and exploding from the inside.

This process has a delayed effect.

Of course, this is the simplest manifestation of time delay.

It can be replaced in many other ways.

However, this process is a long trial period.

It is this craft that they have mastered today.

And what these craftsmen are experimenting with is precisely this delay time, as well as the range, as well as various parameters.

For example, how much gunpowder, how far a firing range can be produced in what caliber artillery.

All of this requires a little bit of recording, and then in this way, the data of the artillery is accurate.

At the same time, the smoothness of the iron wall inside the barrel of the gun also affected the change of some data.

In short, what Zhu Zhanji gave them was an idea and direction of development, as well as a way to improve, and as for how much they could improve and how accurate they could make artillery, it depended on themselves.

But even then, with the current mastery of such artillery and ammunition, it is a hundred years ahead of the world.

And with Zhu Zhanji and his party coming here, the craftsmen who were testing artillery also discovered them at the same time.

Just when they were confused, when they saw Zhu Zhanyong in this group, they suddenly relaxed.

However, when Zhu Zhanji and the others came closer, these craftsmen suddenly realized that the clothes they were wearing were a little special.

After thinking about it, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he came to Zhu Di and them, knelt down and said, "Caomin, knock on the emperor!" ”

Listening to the shouts of these people, where could Zhu Di take care of these little things at this time, as the emperor, he still said to those craftsmen with a smile on his face: "Get up quickly, tell me what is special about your artillery." ”

Hearing this, after those craftsmen glanced at each other, they hurriedly replied: "If you go back to the emperor, why don't you let the grass people demonstrate it for the emperor?" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Di did not allow it.

It's best to be able to see the effect with your own eyes.

"Come, you demonstrate, I'll watch."

Then, at the signal of those craftsmen, everyone retreated four or five steps.

Although the strength of the barrel was strengthened during the production, the technology was limited and the safety was not foolproof, so it was still the best choice to retreat.

In the event of an explosion, it would be good to have a few fewer deaths.

As the crowd retreated, the craftsmen quickly lit the fuses on the cannons.

In just a few seconds, a loud bang rang in everyone's ears.

At the same time, under everyone's gaze, a large black iron bump was launched at a rapid pace.

Looking at this scene, whether it was Zhu Di or Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui beside him, they couldn't help frowning.

Because there is nothing special about this firing method, it is exactly the same as the artillery of the Ming army.

Even those shells that were not as powerful as those equipped by the Ming army, because of the dispersion of ammunition, could hit a whole area of the enemy.

However, when those who know how to do are frowning and puzzled.

Rumble!

A loud bang rang out again.

In the distant woods, there was also a shocking explosion.

Those who were present, especially those who knew how to do it, were taken aback.

Because they didn't expect that there would be a second explosion.

After seeing this scene, the old man Zhu Di suddenly looked at Zhu Gaochu beside him, and Zhu Gaochu also understood very well, when he shouted to Zhu Gaosui beside him: "Third child, go." ”

So saying, the two of them rode together towards the exploding woods in the distance.

While Zhu Di was waiting, soon Zhu Gaoxu, the king of the Han Dynasty, and Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, returned together.

When he came to Zhu Di's face, he still couldn't suppress the shock on his face, and said to Zhu Di: "Dad, the trees around five or six meters have been blown up, and the trees within three or four meters have been blown down, and a deep pit has been blown out on the spot. ”

Listening to Zhu Gaoxu's words, Zhu Di had a further understanding of the power of this artillery, and the expression on his face became more and more solemn.

Compared with the kind of artillery that the Ming army is equipped with to hurt people with hard objects, this stepping horse is really called artillery!

Even after the explosion is launched, it can produce a second explosion!

Just imagine, but this kind of thing is used on the battlefield, if it can reach the scale and range, and the cavalry charges a der, and directly saturates the strike!

Crucially, on closer inspection, he had noticed that the firing procedure for this cannon seemed to be simple.

Loading gunpowder, cleaning the muzzle and barrel.

Then reload the black cannonball and just ignite it.

Including the gun carriage, which comes with wheels, it can be easily moved, and it can also move up and down, left and right, which can't help but make Zhu Di, who has experienced a hundred battles, see that this thing is more useful on the battlefield.

What was the hardest battle in previous wars?

Naturally, it was siege warfare.

The casualties were the most severe.

But if there is this thing, more than a dozen of them will be put up like this.

A salvo, although I don't dare to guarantee how high the accuracy is, but even if it is lucky, it is much better than taking human lives to fill it!

Although the artillery in the past also played a role in siege warfare, it had little effect, and a very important reason was that the firing was all in kind, and it could not have much power after hitting the city wall.

But now it's different.

After this thing is launched, it can explode again, and the power of the key explosion is not bad at all!

Thinking of this, Zhu Di's heart suddenly tightened, and he looked around and behind him with a tense face.

Seeing that although there were many people who came today, most of them were important ministers in the court, Zhu Di also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This is the most important weapon of the country!

Never be known!

It is precisely because he knows how powerful this thing is, it is even more impossible for Zhu Di to let it fall into the hands of the enemy.

If the Mongols also got such a thing, then the city wall on which their Ming Dynasty defense depended would be completely lost.

I dare not say that the siege will be easy, but at least it will drop a lot of grades.

More than a dozen bombarded the city gates.

You are a steel plate, you can't blow it up, and it can blow you up and collapse.

As if he saw through the worry in the old man's heart, Zhu Gaoxu, the king of the Han Dynasty, hurriedly said to everyone around him: "What you see today, no one is allowed to reveal half a word to the outside world, this is a secret, and those who leak it will be beheaded all over the house!" ”

Listening to the murderous expression of the Han King Zhu Gaoxu, and Zhu Di who was indifferent to it on the side, everyone present understood the importance of these two for this, and couldn't help but tighten their hearts and warn themselves not to be careless.

"Grandpa, second uncle and third uncle, is this thing okay?"

Zhu Zhanji deliberately ran to the three of them and teased.

Listening to Zhu Zhanji's words, how could the three of them not know Zhu Zhanji's thoughts, Zhu Di was the first to speak: "Don't talk nonsense, how many of this thing are there?" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji turned his head and looked at his younger brother Zhu Zhanyong beside him, and said, "Come on, tell grandpa about the results of your errand." ”

Then, Zhu Zhanyong slowly walked out and said: "Grandpa, the artillery mount of this thing is simple to make, and it is not a problem to have enough manpower to get dozens of them out in a month, but the shell takes a little longer, and many processes are still being perfected." ”

"If you only talk about the current shells, a month...... You can get dozens of them out. ”

As Zhu Zhanyong finished speaking, Zhu Di's face suddenly sank.

Dozens, who is this enough?

Not to mention the kind of saturation blow that he Zhu Di thought, it was that these dozens of planes were gone in one salvo.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Di suddenly said solemnly: "No, it's not enough!" You kid has been tossing for so long, and you got such a point? ”

Hearing this, Zhu Zhanyong's eyes suddenly widened.

"Grandpa, we're not the Ministry of Imperial Works, we're researching ....."

Before the word 'hair' was finished, the old man Zhu Di immediately interrupted his words and said categorically: "I don't care about you, I want fifty such artillery pieces and ammunition in three months or three months...... I want at least a thousand! ”

"Impossible!"

Zhu Zhanyong immediately said: "Grandpa, it's absolutely impossible, there aren't many craftsmen here in total, most of them have their own research and development items, where is there a lot of manufacturing capital." ”

"Besides, the silver is not enough, just these ammunition, we are usually reluctant to use even one, this is grandpa, you are here, so we are willing to blow it up once. It's still a thousand, grandpa, you just dismantled and sold it, and it's not enough to make a thousand. ”

When it comes to this silver, Zhu Zhanyong is not afraid.

In front of the old man, it is a big pour of bitter water.

Looking at this kid's arrogant appearance, the old man was stunned.

But after coming back to his senses, he smiled and said, "Okay, okay, don't you want silver to be virtuous with your eldest brother?" I gave it, as for the craftsmen, transferred from the Ministry of Works, in short, whatever you want, hand it over, I am not allowed, but only one thing, in three months, I want fifty artillery pieces and a thousand ammunition! ”

Listening to the numbers in the old man's mouth, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui on the side were itching in their hearts when they thought of the scene after having such a cannon scale.....

It's so cool to go to war with this thing, whether it's a fortified attack or a frontal battle.

And a thousand shells are enough for them to be happy.

However, the two of them were happy, but Zhu Gaochi and Hubu Shangshu, who were standing aside, had black faces.

Especially that Xia Yuanji, after this trip, he didn't talk about eating and spitting it out, and now he has to put in a lot of silver, what is this called.

And Zhu Zhanji's father, Zhu Gaochi, was obviously a little calmer, he hurriedly came to Zhu Zhanji's side and asked, "Boy, how much silver does it cost to do this?" ”

Zhu Zhanji was also polite: "Can't you have a million taels of silver?" ”

As soon as this number came out, Zhu Gaochi, the father who was a little calmer just now, couldn't help it, and after scolding for a while, he asked Zhu Zhanji again: "Stinky boy, you are honest, how much silver do you want, don't take it with the court pit, the court is not a big family, and there is not much silver for you to eat." ”

Seeing his father's serious appearance, Zhu Zhanji didn't scare him anymore, and after calling Zhu Zhanyong on the side over and calculating, he said, "At least 200,000 taels." ”

Hearing this number, although Zhu Gaochi was quite acceptable, he was still very painful.

200,000 taels of silver, which can do a lot of things in the imperial court.

But now I can only change this little thing, which is enough for my own few losers to Huo Huo once.

The imperial court wants to earn these 200,000 taels of silver, and I don't know how long it will take.

"One hundred thousand taels! Couldn't be more. ”

Listening to his father Zhu Gaochi also talking about the price, without waiting for Zhu Zhanyong's kid to say something anxiously, Zhu Zhanji was the first to say: "300,000!" 200,000 is still up to a special time, try to reduce the cost, barely enough. Since you don't appreciate it, Dad, there is less than 300,000, and this business is gone! ”

Party A is in hand, and I have it in the world.

The old man said that he wanted to give as much as he wanted, and you were an accountant and bargained.

Hearing Zhu Zhanji's words, Zhu Gaochi saw that he was not decreasing and rising, and immediately glared and said, "Impossible, 150,000, at most 150,000." ”

"Four hundred thousand! One less is not for sale! ”

“...........”

Seeing that the two of them were arguing there, the old man Zhu Di didn't care about them, anyway, this matter always had to come out with a result in the end.

It depends on whether the father is powerful or the son is powerful.

Just saw such a big surprise in this arsenal, and the old man Zhu Di couldn't help but want to go inside to take a look at it at this time.

After all, Zhu Zhanyong's kid just said that there are many craftsmen here who are studying different crafts.

As everyone entered the interior of the concrete arsenal, a crisp sound could be heard from time to time.

Looking at the spear in the craftsman's hand, Zhu Di's eyes were immediately attracted, and he couldn't move it.

Compared with the guns of the Ming Dynasty, the spear in the hands of the craftsman is a real gun.

Instead of a lump of iron, which is then connected with a wooden stick, it is the same as a cannon fire.

Of course, the principle is the same, even the power has decreased a lot, and the range of the attack has also decreased.

But the victory is in the improved accuracy.

In front of the craftsman, there was a target.

At a distance of more than 30 meters, the craftsman was able to accurately hit that target.

However, seeing the old man hurriedly walking over, Zhu Zhanji took the lead and said: "Grandpa, don't think about this thing for the time being, there are only two in total, they are still in the experimental stage, and they can't be mass-produced, each of which requires a craftsman to train for a long time to achieve this kind of accuracy." Under the circumstance that it cannot be large-scale, its actual role on the battlefield is not as strong as that of the current Ming army's equipment. ”

Hearing Zhu Zhanji's words, although Zhu Di was itching when he looked at the gun that could hit accurately, since the eldest grandson said so, it was obvious that the development had not yet been completed.

I couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

Although it doesn't seem to be as powerful as a firebolt, it's area-of-effect damage when sprayed.

But this thing is really good.

At a distance of more than 30 meters, the target is much stronger than a bow and arrow.

Seeing that the old man was like this, Zhu Zhanji took the initiative to say: "Grandpa, come here, my grandson has actually prepared some practical things for you to use for grandpa." ”

As he spoke, he ordered someone to get out a new type of firearm that had been developed a long time ago.

One is an improvised version of a grenade, and the other is an explosives pack.

It's not particularly technical, but it's easy to use.

Replace the stones from the catapult with the explosive pack.

After ignition, throw it.

Fry a large slice.

This thing is an easy version of the artillery.

However, due to many limitations, the power of the artillery is not as large as that of this explosive pack.

Compared with the size of the explosive package, it is still necessary to make it as you like.

As for the grenade, it's the same.

It's the same as the artillery shells that were out there before.

Leave a lead, light it and throw it out, and it will blow up after a while.

As for the other battlefield roles, it is not for him Zhu Zhanji to worry about, as long as things are given to the old man, how to use them is his business.

In short, it is very practical, simple to make, and can be mass-produced.

As long as the raw materials are sufficient.

Think of the scene of standing at the head of the city and throwing grenades and explosives bags, inexplicably comfortable.

Fry a piece.

Although these things are not as shocking as the artillery seen before, they can still fill in the gaps in the use of firearms by many Ming troops.

Seeing these, whether it was Zhu Di or Zhu Gaoxu, or Zhu Gaosui, their faces were full of smiles.

Just when everyone was laughing, someone suddenly came to the palace to spread the news.

After the man crossed the surrounding people, he came straight to Zhu Di, and then hurriedly bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, I got the news that the treasure ship team led by Zheng He has returned!" ”

As soon as this person's words fell, Zhu Di suddenly showed a look of surprise: "Ma Bao is back?" ”

"Back to the emperor, exactly."

Hearing this, the old man is really happy.

Not only did he get so many good things today, but Ma Bao, who was sent by him to the West, also returned.

For a while, the old man immediately greeted the second and third children and said, "Let's go, let's go back!" ”

And by the old man's side, when Zhu Zhanji heard that Zheng He was back, his eyes also flashed, and the excitement in his heart was irrepressible.

It's not that he really has a good relationship with Zheng He, but this time Zheng He went out, he asked Zheng He to help him bring back a treasure!

With that thing, his Zhu Zhanji's plan for the transformation of the Ming Dynasty can be greatly accelerated!

Not only that, but the value of this treasure will have a profound impact on future generations.

Even in the 21st century, the value of this treasure is very great!

For a while, Zhu Zhanji was also anxious to urge the people around him, and he couldn't wait.......

Along the way, Zhu Zhanji didn't wait for the old man to leave slowly, so he simply said hello to the old man and returned to the palace.

As for the old man, he didn't take the dragon ride, but took the carriage instead.

Looking at their anxious appearances, although Zhu Gaochi also admired the eunuch Ma Bao very much, and had a very good relationship.

But he was not in a hurry.

In his opinion, what should be seen will still be seen, and the first one is not necessarily what the relationship is.

Of course, it's also because I can't ride a horse because I can't do it.

He could only sit in a sedan chair slowly, walking with the bachelors of the cabinet and a few scholars, at the back of the line.

As for Zhu Zhanyong's kid, he was not in a hurry, so he accompanied his father and them, and he was behind.

But when the group of them walked back leisurely, when passing by Zhu Zhanyong's house, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but look at the scale of this mansion in surprise, and said to Zhu Zhanyong on the side: "Stinky boy, you really enjoy it, no wonder your kid is not at home every day, dare to make a paradise here?" ”

Listening to his father's words, Zhu Zhanyong deliberately pretended to be stupid and said: "Dad, what are you talking about, this is not my son's mine, the mining area is so far away from here......"

But before Zhu Zhanyong could finish speaking, Zhu Gaochi immediately interrupted him, and then pointed to the road behind them that they had traveled before, and said, "This road has been repaired to the gate of the mansion, you said it wasn't yours?" ”

Listening to his father's words, Zhu Zhanyong didn't realize this matter, and he didn't expect that his father would conclude that this house was his own just by relying on the intersection of this road.

Extreme Soul Chaos

Just when Zhu Zhanyong wanted to defend something, his father Zhu Gaochi suddenly thought of something when he saw his unnatural expression, and as soon as he raised his hand, the entire team stopped.

Looking at the ministers who came over around him, Zhu Gaochi looked at his kid with a smile and said, "Let's go, are you leading the way for your father, or will your father lead the way?" ”

Hearing his father say this, Zhu Zhanyong still said stiffly: "Dad, this is really not my son's house." ”

But where would Zhu Gaochi believe it.

When he was in the reservoir just now, how could this kid cooperate with his brother to fool the old man, he Zhu Gaochi saw it in his eyes.

Immediately, Zhu Gaochi said to the guards beside him: "Go, knock on the door." ”

It took less than a moment for the knock to sound at the door.

The man Huang Yan saw when he was looking for someone before appeared in front of everyone again.

Just as this person was looking at the people outside suspiciously, his eyes suddenly saw Zhu Zhanyong in the crowd, and hurriedly shouted enthusiastically: "Third Highness! You're back! ”

As this voice sounded, Zhu Zhanyong, who was hiding in the crowd and trying not to show up, immediately rubbed his head helplessly.

Looking at the expression of His Royal Highness, the person who came to open the door couldn't help but wonder.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaochi suddenly chuckled and said: "Although your father and I are not as shrewd as your grandfather, after all, we are also your father, and your little effort is not enough." ”

After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards the compound.

And Zhu Zhanyong had no choice but to follow.

When passing by the old man, in the face of the old man's doubts, Zhu Zhanyong could only smile and say: "It's okay, it's all my own people." ”

After speaking, he caught up with his father Zhu Gaochi.

As the group walked into the compound, they found that the inside of the house, which seemed to be on the outside, had a lot to offer.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a huge garden.

However, to their surprise, the first people they saw when they came in turned out to be several children.

couldn't help but feel a tightness in Zhu Gaochi's heart.

These dolls, could they be the children raised by Zhu Zhanyong's kid outside?

This kid secretly got married outside?

Not only Zhu Gaochi, but also several scholars and scholars around him, their first reaction was this idea.

couldn't help it, Zhu Gaochi took the lead and walked over, looked at the dolls and looked at them carefully.

Seeing that they were squatting on the ground, with some strange symbols written on the branches, I couldn't help but ask, "Child, what are you doing?" ”

Hearing Zhu Gaochi's question, several children looked up, then didn't look at him and said, "We are counting." ”

"Count?"

Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and figured out what it meant, and then said, "What kind of count, do you want grandpa to tell you?" ”

Although Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanyong are not yet married, it is no problem to call themselves a grandfather at Zhu Gaochi's age.

However, this time, the children did not raise their heads and said, "You won't." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and laughed.

This big fat man hasn't laughed so sincerely for a long time.

Of course, it was also because he mistook these children for his grandsons outside.

Zhu Gaochi, who has not yet hugged his grandson, is naturally happy from the bottom of his heart when he faces these dolls.

Looking at his father's joy, Zhu Zhanyong pouted helplessly, he didn't know what his father was thinking at this time, so naturally he couldn't understand what it meant to be a parent.

"It's the first time Grandpa has heard someone say this, so let's talk about it, see if Grandpa will, if Grandpa really can't, Grandpa won't quarrel with you, how about it?"

Before the meeting, the adult was so annoying, and several children were quite helpless, but seeing that the big fat man was quite cute when he smiled, although he frowned his little eyebrows, he still said: "Okay, then I'll give you a random question, if you answer it, we'll take you to calculate it, how about it?" ”

Zhu Gaochi immediately smiled and said, "Wow, you say." ”

Hearing Zhu Gaochi's words, the tallest doll among the dolls looked left and right, and after seeing the pond, he straightened up his small body and asked in a milky voice: "Let me ask you, how much water is in this pool?" ”

As soon as this question came out, Zhu Gaochi was stunned on the spot.

I wanted to talk about a pool of water, but after thinking about it, I thought it was nonsense, but how does this thing count?

He Zhu Gaochi really didn't think about it.

couldn't help it, in order to save face in front of the child, Zhu Gaochi hurriedly said to Xia Yuanji, the head of the household next to him: "This question is too simple, grandpa let this grandpa answer it for you." ”

Hearing that the prince pushed himself out, Xia Yuanji was also confused.

"This ....."

After thinking about it, he said, "It's better to let people take buckets, and there are as many buckets as there are buckets of water." ”

However, what Xia Yuanji, the head of the household, never expected was that when those dolls heard his words, they showed a look of disdain.

Seeing this scene, not only Xia Yuanji's face was embarrassed, but also the scholars and scholars around them were also embarrassed.....

Zhu Zhanyong, who was hiding in the corner, was almost unrestrained.

The six Shangshu of the current dynasty, the bachelor of the cabinet, which one is not famous for his talent and learning, but now, he is stumped by a few dolls.

This made him how Zhu Zhanyong could not laugh.

It's not that this algorithm is so difficult, in fact, China has been extremely developed in mathematics since ancient times.

During the Qin and Han dynasties, the eighth volume of the "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" was about using matrices to solve linear equations, and the first example was about Gaussian elimination.

In Europe, linear algebra was not founded by Gauss until the 18th century.

During the Song and Yuan dynasties, Zhu Shijie's "Quaternary Jade Jian" talked about the method of finding multiple higher-order equations, and the equations appeared up to 14 times in the example problems.

In Europe, in the 16th century, there were Vedic quadratic equations, Cardano cubic equations, and Ferrari quadratic equations. The problem of solving equations of five or higher order did not appear until Garois in the nineteenth century.

In short, in terms of mathematics, ancient China was centuries ahead of the outside world, and it can be said that it was hanging.

However, it is a pity that even if China was ahead in ancient times, under the rule of such a feudal dynasty, such scholarship could only be treated as a strange skill.

To put it bluntly, this is not what mainstream life needs.

Therefore, even the scholars and scholars of the imperial court in front of them did not know much about it.

Even the arithmetic methods that I learned were only up to the level of calculating accounts and the like.

Now they are asked to calculate how much water there is in this pool, and they are dumbfounded.

However, Xia Yuanji, who was the head of the household, suddenly felt as if he had been insulted, and asked the child with a red face: "Don't just ask me, do you know how much water there is?" ”

Seeing that Xia Yuanji still refused to give up and refused to return despite the difficulties.

The children looked at him helplessly and shook their heads, as if they were looking at their own stupid son.

This scene completely stimulated Xia Yuanji, and he suddenly felt that his brain was swollen.

And Zhu Zhanyong, who was on the side, was even more red when he saw this scene.

The crown prince Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but hold his head with one hand, but he was actually secretly wiping his tears.

The other ministers, though they were able to hold back, were clearly struggling.

But only Xia Yuanji, who was pushed out by the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, couldn't laugh, and really compared with these children: "Look at what I do, you say it yourself, how much water is there!" ”

Seeing this, the child's leader could only helplessly glance at the little friend next to him, and the little friend immediately understood, came to the edge of the pond, and then stretched out his hands, because he was still young, even if he stretched out his hands, it was only about a meter away.

And after the boy measured it a few times, he came to the other side and began to measure.

When it was over, he stood in the pond.

Looking at the height of the water in the pool, he silently muttered a few words to the child next to him.

Later, the children came to the dry field again.

Then he took the branch and wrote it on the ground.

（15×5.2×0.5）

Finally, he said to Naxia Yuanji: "39 cubic meters!" ”

Hearing this, although he looked at their children with a serious appearance, Xia Yuanji couldn't help but say: "What kind of cubic meters are you talking about, I don't understand, just tell me, just tell me, just how many buckets of water are equal." ”

Seeing that the white-bearded old man in front of him was still so hard-mouthed, several children let out a long sigh.

Then they looked at each other and came to the bucket.

After carefully measuring it, he came to the ground again and began to calculate.

（π×(24cm×24cm)×453

81430.0803

39/0.08143≈478.9

After calculating, the kid threw the branch in his hand confidently and said to Xia Yuanji: "479 barrels!" ”

Listening to the child's words, this time, everyone present was shocked.

After an incredible glance at each other, everyone didn't know whether this answer was correct or not.

Seeing that Xia Yuanji was so confident and had that strange symbol, his heart really beat a drum.

But after all, he is the head of the imperial court, how can he admit defeat so easily, otherwise, he will not be ridiculed by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty in the future?

"The Great Luo of the Worlds"

If it really spreads, I'm afraid that his exploits may not be recorded in the history books, but this interesting story should be remembered clearly.

I had no choice but to stalk my neck and say, "I don't believe it!" ”

But these children said disdainfully: "If you don't believe it, you will go and fall!" ”

As he spoke, he kicked the bucket beside him.

Now, it can be regarded as forcing Xia Yuanji into a corner.

In front of everyone's eyes, he really can't get off the stage.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaochi, the crown prince on the side, also said kindly: "Lord Xia, don't forget it." ”

But the more Zhu Gaochi said this, the more stubborn Xia Yuanji became.
