Chapter 35: The Puzzle of Numbers

Zhu Xiongying received the best education of this era. There is a foundation. Of course, it can't withstand such a large amount of work and calculation for a while. But slowly got used to it. It's also about experience. The two abacus can be played all day with a crackle. There will never be more, or less, problems.

Of course, the accounts are all sorted. Naturally, there is nothing wrong with letting him find out.

On this day, He Xi called Zhu Xiongying to the study and asked Zhu Xiongying how she was doing. Zhu Xiongying was slightly resentful and said, "Fortunately, I am not dishonored." It's all over. ”

He Xi hummed while reading the official document, then paused for a while, raised his head and said, "That's it?" ”

Zhu Xiongying said: "What else can I do, I didn't come here to study the plan." ”

He Xi looked at Zhu Xiongying and sighed. Shaking his head, he said, "Forget it." You don't have to count anymore. It was decreed that in the future, these confidential documents would no longer be shown to the emperor and grandson. You go and take a break first, and I'll adjust my thinking. ”

He Xi shook his head in disappointment and rubbed his temples with his fingers, looking unexpected.

Zhu Xiongying was asked out in confusion.

In fact, He Xi also knows that these data can actually see a lot of problems. But people who can see this problem must have enough experience and mathematical ability. It is very likely that Zhu Xiongying will not be able to do this thing.

There are prodigies in the world. But not much. In He Xi's opinion, Zhu Xiongying can't be said to be not smart. But it's just a middle-aged person, but with careful cultivation since childhood, he is more outstanding than many of his peers. But not to the point where it is smart.

He Xi wants to suppress Zhu Xiongying.

There is no other reason, we must teach students according to their aptitude.

Arouse the students' interest first, and then listen to the following teachings. Different methods for different people. Encourage children with low self-esteem. But for a child like Zhu Xiongying who is too proud and has been spoiled since he was a child, he has to use other means.

Zhu Xiongying is not a genius, but he himself may think he is. At this moment, I must be mad by today's situation.

Because of this, he wants to know more about what lies behind these numbers.

-------

He Xi was not wrong at all.

Zhu Xiongying returned to his room and looked at a room of account books. A few numbers that have already been transcribed by themselves. tilted his head to look, but he couldn't see anything famous. He secretly said in his heart: "What is in this?" ”

didn't wait for Zhu Xiongying to come out. Then some of the officials came in and saluted, and they had to carry away boxes and boxes of books. Zhu Xiongying said: "What are you doing here? ”

These officials hurriedly saluted and said, "Please don't embarrass the villain, Your Highness." The villain also acts on orders. ”

Zhu Xiongying looked at boxes of account books. was extremely disgusted before, and only felt that He Xi was torturing him. But now, there is a great interest in my heart. He said secretly: "This is the first exam question my uncle gave me, but I missed it." "He was tempted to keep the books.

But after a moment of silence, he finally waved his hand and said, "Go, go." Don't let me see it. ”

When all the officials are gone.

Zhu Xiongying immediately studied the ink, and then wrote down the numbers on a piece of paper.

They are several totals, for Fushun Coal Mine, Shenyang Iron Works, annual output, the total number of projects in various places, that is, a piece of soil transportation dozens of zhang for one work. An adult strong man can only do a few jobs a day. Already grain production. Inventory levels. Wait a minute.

Zhu Xiongying calculated for a long time, and used impressions on these figures. But I can also remember probably, for example, the first two large numbers, and the following decimal numbers are omitted.

Zhu Xiongying pondered for a long time and checked the calculations repeatedly. Suddenly, he said: "In this way, the granaries in various places will be empty in a month and a half at most." ”

The whole person suddenly felt that he had discovered the secret.

No matter when, he immediately rushed out.

------

He Xi reunited with his wife and son after a long absence, but He Xi also knew that even if he was in Liaodong, he would not stay in Shenyang for a long time. And he didn't want his wife to live with other enemies. For no other reason, Daming has been operating Shenyang for more than ten years. The walls of Shenyang are strong, no less than the big cities in the interior. In addition, there are iron factories and coal mines around, and there are several health stations. As long as the Tartars do not have the strength to annihilate the tens of thousands of troops of the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop. No matter how far the situation has fallen. The city of Shenyang is safe.

But it's not the same elsewhere.

For example, Niuzhuang is now called Yingkou.

It's better to be bustling every day. But the walls have not yet been repaired. If the Tartars really have a heart, thousands of people can't come, hundreds of people sneak in, and kill one by surprise, it's still possible.

And He Xi himself can take that risk. But the plan will never let the wife take that risk.

He Xi is about to go on patrol, and every minute of his free time is spent with his children.

At this moment, He Xi put his son He Yuansi around his neck, running left and right, and made a sharp turn from time to time. Let He Siyuan laugh happily.

And Princess Anqing looked at the father and son like this, and she was also sitting on the side, smiling on her lips, holding a book in her hand. But I wasn't looking.

At this time, Zhu Xiongying broke through the guard's barrier and said loudly: "I have discovered the secret. It was only a split second later that he saw it. He suddenly felt a strong sense of discomfort, as if the previous image of He Xi in his heart collapsed suddenly.

This is very common in later generations.

But in this day and age, it is unusual. This era pays attention to strict fathers. Pay attention to the dignity of the father, and the relationship between the father and the son, just like the monarch and the minister, has a serious and insurmountable nature, and perhaps the people do not care about this. But there is no real dignitary who does not maintain dignity in front of his son.

There is even a saying that hugging grandchildren does not hug children.

At least, the crown prince has never treated Zhu Xiongying like this.

Prior to this, Zhu Xiongying's view of He Xi was a minister who was actually difficult to be a deputy under the fame. Now it suddenly becomes vivid and concrete. It's just that Zhu Xiongying feels that he is not suitable for this occasion.

Zhu Xiongying said very knowingly: "Sorry to disturb me." I'll just go. ”

Then he turned and left.

He Xi didn't take it seriously. Picking He Yuansi off his neck and letting him lean on Princess Anqing's side, He Xi smiled slightly and said, "I'll go see what's going on." ”

After He Xi left, Princess Anqing took the book in her hand. said: "We continued to listen to the story, but we said that in Zixiao Palace, Hongjun Daozu preached three times, and it has come to an end. ------”

That's right, what Princess Anqing is talking about is the flood famine.

Or the background of the torrent. Among He Xi's computers and mobile phones, these are actually the most. But it's also the least valuable. Princess Anqing has synthesized dozens of books. Extract the whole background and tell it to your children as a mythological story.

------

After He Xi came out, Zhu Xiongying saw it and felt ashamed, and immediately said, "Please rest assured, uncle." I will never tell anyone about today's events. ”

He Xi said: "Ruthless may not be a true hero, how can a poor son not be a husband." There's nothing to hide from this. But there are some people who have no family affection between father and son. Cold. Everything is about etiquette, is that right? ”

Zhu Xiongying only felt deafening.

It's not just this verse, but also He Xi's attitude.

Rigidity in science, murder in etiquette. These concepts are known to many people. But I don't understand why.

It's like the prince had breakfast with Fang Xiaoru that day, where should he sit, how to hold chopsticks, and how to put down chopsticks. What are the standards for using chopsticks. Wait a minute. Everything has constraints. It's a small thing. Don't get along with father and son on a daily basis.

More and more, no more. Even morning and evening, please be good. Serve decoction or something. A paradigm has been formed, that is, a paradigm in which father and son are like kings and ministers. But there are thousands of human feelings, and everyone has different ways and choices to express their feelings.

How can it be generalized?

It's just that Zhu Xiongying is the son of Zhu Biao, and his teachers are all from the East Palace. Fang Xiaoru is in the same vein. In fact, the real Confucians, after understanding the reasoning behind it, are much more flexible, just like those who have only read a few books. I regard the things in the book as golden rules.

No offense at all.

Zhu Xiongying had never heard such a statement before.
