Joyful, joyful!

If that's the case, then you don't have to go to Shaanxi!

Even if you go, your life is not in danger!

The ministers don't believe this, Wang Li doesn't believe it, and Zhu Youzhen doesn't believe it!

But, it is indeed true!

This recital should have been delivered ten days ago!

It's just that the Sanggan River is cut off, the waterway is impassable, and the time is delayed!

The reason for the interruption was naturally that it was cut off by Liu Dong, and more than 7,000 catties of explosives were used!

If the Sanggan River is not cut off, the potatoes and sweet potatoes planted on both sides of the river will die!

Wang Li was puzzled that Yang He had neither soldiers nor money, nor food for disaster relief, so he really quelled the popular uprising?

However, according to the news reported back by the Jinyi Guard stationed in Shaanxi, Yang He really quelled the civil uprising!

I'll go!

This guy is really a talent!

It is said that during his time in Shaanxi, in addition to messing around, he took the initiative to find the rebel leader and negotiate all day long!

As long as you lay down your weapons and return to your hometown to farm, you will not be guilty of the past!

also made a promise that the imperial court would issue severance pay!

It's as simple as that, and you're done?

Wang Lining couldn't believe it when he died!

"Factory Gong, Governor Yang has really done it! Where the subordinates are with their own eyes!

On the day that Governor Yang wrote the book, Shen Yikui, Wang Jiayin, Wang Zuogui, Guo Tianxing and other leaders drove away Governor Yang's sedan chair and personally carried the sedan chair for him! ”

I'll go!

The rebel leader carried a sedan chair for him?

What a soil emperor!

is even more awesome than Yuan Chonghuan on the side of the superintendent!

I knew it was so simple, and I also went to Shaanxi!

But, as if, something is wrong!

"By the way, I remember...... Not long ago, wasn't Yang He besieged by Wang Zuogui in Hancheng? Is this guy lying and deceiving the king? ”

"Factory father, Yang He didn't bully the king!

In the siege of Hancheng that time, Hong Chengchou, who participated in politics, led the servants of the family to relieve the siege and killed 300 rebellious people!

Frightened, the two leaders of Wang Zuogui and Miao Mei knelt on the ground and begged for mercy......"

"Wait! Wait! ”

Wang Li hurriedly stopped Jin Yiwei's words: "Who are you talking about just now?" Who is the person who helped Yang He out of the siege? ”

"Back to the factory, it is Yansui's participation in politics, Lord Hong Chengchou!"

Hong Chengchou!

My good boy!

is only concerned about making money, how can you forget this big man?

This guy who defected to the enemy and treasoned against the country is actually in Yansui?

Boy!

If you want to fish for a few more years, this guy must not stay!

No, this guy has just made a meritorious service, and there is no black history!

If you rush to get rid of him, I, the factory father, will not be far from class!

If you don't do it, you will be beheaded!

Didn't the popular uprising in Shaanxi have subsided?

Just tomorrow to leave for Shaanxi!

I want to see what this Hong Chengchou, who has been stinking for 10,000 years, looks like!

Hey?

It's still not right!

This Ming Dynasty is not quite the same as the Ming Dynasty in history!

There is no Li Zicheng, no Zhang Xianzhong!

Princess Zhu Yujiao of Changping has also become the princess of Kunxing!

Moreover, the civil revolt has subsided!

Well, it's really different!

In this case, Hong Chengchou is probably not a "second minister"!

Yourself, there is no need to go to Shaanxi!

However, staying in the Beijing division really made Zhu Youzhen an eyesore!

That's what it is!

Subordinates don't go out to "run business", stay in the "company" all day to blow air conditioners, no boss will be happy!

Also, after blackmailing so many officials during this time, it's time to go out and avoid the limelight!

Go to Shanxi to see your own cigarette factory, and then go to Nanjing to see your own green building!

If the income is good, all of them will be made into chain stores!

There's a lot to do!

Don't nest in Jingshi, this is self-deprecating and boring!

……

Wang Li's expectation is really right!

Because the civil uprising in Shaanxi subsided, Wang Li proposed to go to Shanxi to "continue disaster relief", and Zhu Youzhen agreed!

Of course, Wang Li did not forget to "dig" a person!

This person is Xu Guangqi!

If you talk about the modern mathematicians of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Guangqi is called the first, and no one dares to call it the second!

What is the saying, "The end of science is mathematics, and the end of mathematics is phenology"!

If you want to play with the cannon well, without the support of modern mathematical theories, everything is empty talk!

Actually, if you put a little effort into tinkering, you can also build a cannon and a mortar!

But, what a lot of effort to do these things!

It's better to take time out to listen to the music, it's better to find your own Qin Huai Eight Uniques, it's better to think about how to make money!

So, Xu Guangqi likes to study mathematics and tinker with cannons, so let him tinker!

……

"Long live Lord, since the West Factory took over the Fujian Ordnance Bureau, this bureau has provided more than half of the country's ordnance!

However, in order to completely defeat Huang Taiji and recover a large area of land in the Northeast, there must be enough artillery!

It's a pity that the imperial court's finances are tight, and it can't come up with silver to purchase cannons!

The little slave is brave, please long live the Lord to transfer the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Lord Xu, to Fujian!

Master Xu is proficient in mathematics and once instructed the Shandong Ordnance Bureau to imitate the cannon......"

"Needless to say!"

Zhu Youzhen interrupted Wang Li's words, his face was slightly displeased: "This Lord Xu, as long as you can convince him, I have no opinion!" ”

"Then ...... Thank you so much! The little slave is going to persuade him! ”

Bidding farewell to Zhu Youzhen, Wang Li went to the Ministry of Rites.

Zhu Youzhen's displeasure and embarrassment, Wang Li can also understand.

If you want to let the "Rite Squire" go to the local "Ordnance Bureau", no one will be happy!

Zhu Youjian was already at odds with the minister, and asked him to come forward to mobilize Xu Guangqi, which was indeed a little embarrassing for him!

Moreover, Xu Guangqi's recital, hoping to open a new school and adding new mathematical theories to the imperial examination, was all opposed by Zhu Youzhen and the ministers.

In this way, Xu Guangqi felt isolated!

It's no wonder that no one can understand his recitals, his remarks, no one can understand!

Explaining his intention, Xu Guangqi did not raise his head, and continued to look through his "Euclid Original".

This is a mathematical work in Latin, Xu Guangqi has worked with Matteo Ricci for many years, and only now has he translated six chapters, which he has titled "Geometric Originals".

In this day and age, to translate such a mathematical work, there is no precedent to use as a reference, everything has to be started from scratch!

Words such as "parallel lines", "triangles", "diagonals", "right angles", "acute angles", "obtuse angles", "similarities" and so on are all "invented" by Xu Guangqi from scratch!

Therefore, the tediousness of the translation work and the vastness of the project are by no means imaginable for people of this era!

Matteo Ricci is no longer there for more than 30 years!

The elderly Xu Guangqi still wants to translate the remaining nine volumes of "Euclid's Originals", but he is no longer able to do it!

Touching the ashes, Wang Li did not give up, and muttered:

"The country is not armed, for a long time, once provoked, it is impossible to write. The ministry of enlightenment is not suitable for the battle of the army, and the righteousness does not sit idly by, so as to bear the grace of the country and the teachings of the teacher......"

These words are from a letter from Xu Guangqi.

It is a letter written by Xu Guangqi to Jiao Hong, the first-class champion of the seventeenth year of Wanli and the Hanlin Academy.

From these few sentences, we can get a glimpse of Xu Guangqi's heart to serve the country.

It's a pity that in this stormy Ming Dynasty, there is no heart to serve the country, what can it do?

"Lord Xu, haven't you always wanted to build a cannon?

Today, our factory will give you the Fujian Ordnance Bureau, and then give you enough silver!

Everything in the Fujian Ordnance Bureau is up to you!

Do you dare to try it? ”

Hearing this, Xu Guangqi raised his head, and a brief flash of joy flashed on his face: "Eunuch!" Get lost! ”

Xu Guangqi hates eunuchs, Wang Li can completely understand!

During the Apocalypse, Xu Guangqi was impeached and excluded by the eunuch party twice, and returned to his hometown in Shanghai to "live with the crown" for more than two years!

It wasn't until Zhu Youzhen succeeded to the throne that Wei Zhongxian reined in a lot, and then he was reinstated.

Wang Li came here, and he was mentally prepared for a long time!

In the face of Xu Guangqi's angry scolding, he didn't get angry at all, and asked with a smile: "Lord Xu, although the prince of this factory is a eunuch, he is different from Wei Zhongxian......

"What is the difference between being a eunuch?" Xu Guangqi interrupted Wang Li's words and pointed to the outside of the hall:

"Lao Chen has a few days to live, and he doesn't want to deal with half of the eunuchs!

Factory, please go back! ”

"Lord Xu, what you said is wrong!

What's the deal with the "half" eunuchs?

What do you think of our company?

Triangle? Quadrilateral?

By the way, Xu Guangren, the "flat-sided triangle" you translated in "Geometric Originals" is a bit inappropriate!

I think it's more appropriate to translate it as "equilateral triangle"!

Also, in the chapter on "Fractions", the word "proportion" is prone to ambiguity, so it is more appropriate to use "than" directly!

What do you think? ”

These words made Xu Guangqi's eyes light up!

His translation of "Geometric Originals" is almost unintelligible!

No one likes to watch it either!

However, the admiral of the West Factory in front of him not only read his "Geometric Original", but also pointed out the inappropriateness!

This eunuch is really different from other eunuchs!

"Lord Xu, if you want the cannon to hit accurately, in addition to accurately controlling the weight of the projectile and the weight of the medicine bag, the measurement of the distance is the most important!

Your trigonometric function theory in "The Whole Meaning of Measurement" has benefited our factory a lot! ”

Wang Li mentioned cannons and trigonometric functions, and Xu Guangqi was like meeting a bosom friend, and his attitude immediately changed.

"Factory Gong, have you read this official's "Measurement Quanyi"? Can you read trigonometric functions? ”

"How can you build a cannon and use a cannon, and you don't know trigonometric functions?

But well, Lord Xu just needs to understand!

As long as there is a ruler on the cannon, it is easy for the gunner to find the correct "angle", and then try to fire a few more shots to correct the error!

Lord Xu, do you want to ...... You went to Fu to build a cannon, and the factory helped you translate the remaining nine volumes of "Euclid's Original"? ”

"Factory ...... Factory, you also know Latin? Can you read "Euclid's Original"? ”

"Huh!"

Wang Li smiled faintly and said nothing: "Since Lord Xu doesn't believe it, let's take my leave as if the factory has never come!" ”

With that, stride out.

Xu Guangqi was willing to give up, panting and catching up.

Hum!

Can't cure you old man?

Is the nine-year compulsory education of the factory public in vain?

Is the advanced mathematics of the factory also in vain?

That's right, I really can't read Latin!

However, writing a brand new "Euclidean Original" in Chinese is not yet easy?

The remaining nine volumes of "Euclid's Originals", I only need one night of work to help you "translate" it!

No, the first half of the night is enough!

In the second half of the night, you can also find Liu Ruyan to help warm the bed!

Scold!

This old man is really cheap!

Ignore him, and he didn't leave in Lingji Palace!

Dry him first!

Hang it out until tomorrow morning!

"Brother Chen, on the Jingshi side, the West Factory will be in charge of you!

As long as Long Live Lord is ready to do it, Yuan Chonghuan's life depends on you! ”

Wang Li's face was solemn, but Chen Wangting laughed: "Factory father, is it really okay for us to guard and steal like this?" ”

"Brother Chen, have you gained twenty pounds again?

Is it okay?

You have been in Fujian for more than a year, and you are greedy for 80,000 taels, right?

You tell me that "the guards steal themselves"?

Are you sorry? ”

"This ...... Factory father, so you know everything?

Hehe...... You also know that so much silver is shipped over, and silver is shipped every day, and the white flowers are really bright!

If you don't take a little bit, I'm panicking......"
