Chapter 262 You look down on people!
Chapter 258

Cheng Yaojin wanted to compare calligraphy with Wei Hao, and none of the officials in the court knew that Wei Hao's calligraphy was the worst. than this.

"Uncle Cheng, you use a brush and I use a fountain pen. Let's compare who can write faster, as long as you can recognize the characters, you can let him come!" Wei Hao looked at Cheng Yaojin and said.

"Huh? Are you writing fast?" Cheng Yaojin stared at Wei Hao and asked.

"Just compare and you'll know, 100 pennies!" Wei Hao immediately looked at Cheng Yaojin and raised his eyes triumphantly.

"No, I know you too well! It's better than writing!" Cheng Yaojin immediately shook his head and said.

"Then why don't I come? You've been writing for most of your life, and I've been writing for just a few years. Are you embarrassed?" Wei Hao immediately shook his head and said.

"This kid has failed his studies now!" Cheng Yaojin looked at Li Jing and said.

Then he patted Wei Hao on the shoulder and said, "You can't lose to the old man once, you have to know that your father-in-law's private money has been lost to you!"

"No, my father-in-law's private money, I asked Siyuan to take it back, father-in-law, you go back and ask Siyuan for it, I gave Siyuan 500 coins yesterday!" Wei Hao said to Li Jing with a smile.

"How much?" Li Jing heard it, and looked at Wei Hao in shock.

"500 coins, she was asked to get more, but she said she didn't need so much!" Wei Hao replied immediately.

"Oh, good!" Li Jing nodded when he heard it, knowing that this kid is rich, very rich, and took away more than 4000 of their money in two days. Now everyone is poor, and only Wei Hao is rich.

"My God, Senior Brother Yao, help me, I'm out of money!" Cheng Yaojin immediately looked at Li Jing and said.

"Brother Yao, I don't have any here either?" Yuchi Jingde also shouted.

"Brother Yao, this, the money, the old man is gone, someday you will send me 20 pennies!" Fang Xuanling also said to Li Jing.

"Success!" Li Jing nodded with a smile.

Then Wei Hao asked them with a smile: "Do you still want to ask questions?"

"Get out!" Cheng Yaojin heard it, and said a word to Wei Hao.

"There's a lot of money, and you still have a question?" Yuchi Jingde also shouted dissatisfiedly at Wei Hao.

"Then why do you want money?" Wei Hao looked at them in confusion and asked, then said with a smile: "Besides, you don't want the face of scholars?"

"Get out, I'm a military commander! I don't care if scholars lose face or not?" Cheng Yaojin raised his head high and said loudly.

And those civil servants in the back sighed, they were ashamed, and now that Wei Hao has been fulfilled, many people privately call Wei Hao a master of arithmetic, everyone, that is not a common name.

"Okay, the palace gate is open, let's go!" Li Jing said to Wei Hao, and then everyone walked inside.

Not long after arriving at the Ganlu Hall, the gate of the Ganlu Hall opened. Wang De announced that he would go to court. Wei Hao followed those ministers and continued to hide behind the pillars. It's okay to sleep in the morning, and I asked Li Shimin if he didn't come?
After going to court, Li Shimin asked about the things he had done before, and also discussed the spring sowing.

Although it is not yet time for spring sowing, it will be soon. Li Shimin wants to ask the Ministry of Civil Affairs if it is ready, and what difficulties the people still have. For the affected areas, are the seeds ready? Can the affected areas be harvested now? If it can't be planted, Li Shimin needs to ask.

The ministers of the Ministry of Civil Affairs answered one by one, and it was the Ministry of Industry to answer when it came to farm tools.

Wei Hao has been sitting there, thinking about those farmlands of his own family. He doesn't know if they are ready now. He plans to plant 200 mu of cotton this year. Now there are only so many seeds, and there are no more.

The land for cotton planting also needs to be selected well. It does not need too good farmland, and it is a waste to use too good farmland.

"Well, this cotton still needs to be watched by yourself. Don't worry about handing it over to others. If you do it well, you may make a lot of money this year, hehe!"

Wei Hao sat there thinking about it, and then he thought that he would build a house this year, and he didn't know if he had got those bricks and tiles, as well as cement, steel bars, and glass. None of them had come out yet, especially the steel bars. , I promised Li Shimin that if you want to make steel, you can do it together. Cement and glass are simple, and you can build a kiln by yourself.

Wei Hao was sitting there thinking about it, when Li Shimin called Wei Hao.

"Wei Shenyong, Wei Shenyong!" Sitting on it, Li Shimin shouted, his eyes fixed on the pillar, and he knew that Wei Hao was hiding behind.

"Hey, royal father, my son is here!" Wei Hao poked his head out from behind the pillar immediately.

"Come out and sit!" Li Shimin said to Wei Hao with a dark face.

"Hey!" Wei Hao immediately moved the futon and sat out.

"The volume of the cone, do you have an answer?" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and asked.

"Yes, of course, what's the matter, has anyone figured it out?" Wei Hao nodded, then looked at the ministers and asked.

How dare those ministers look at him, they all lowered their heads and looked left and right.

"Well, Shen Yong, I want you to be a doctor of mathematics, okay?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"Doctor?" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin in shock. Is there a doctor now?
"Well, how about letting you teach arithmetic knowledge to arithmetic students?" Li Shimin then asked.

"Ah, the doctor is a teacher?" Wei Hao immediately looked at Li Shimin depressed and asked.

"Yes, to impart knowledge. Of course, if you are a doctor, it means that your arithmetic has been recognized by everyone. If you go to teach, everyone will have no doubts!" ​​Li Shimin nodded, looked at Wei Hao and said.

"Then I won't go! Teaching isn't fun, and I still have to build a school. When the time comes, my students, um, I will teach them arithmetic and Gewu. Just count the students over there. Forget it, they probably won't learn it. They just want to be an official, and they can't understand the mystery of mathematics and Gewu, and the huge benefits brought by Gewu!" Wei Hao shook his head and said.

Not interested, the people who are studying in the schools under the Imperial College are all the children of officials, and they all want to be officials.

"Well, there is still a mystery in arithmetic? And that Gewu, what's the mystery? Let's hear it!" Li Shimin asked immediately.

"You don't understand after talking about it. You are all ignorant people, so don't talk about it!" Wei Hao said while sitting there, waving his hands.

"No, you!"

"You, me!" Just as Wei Hao's words fell, the people in the hall all looked at Wei Hao depressedly, even Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao depressedly.

"Wei Shenyong, you have to know that you are a master of arithmetic, and you should contribute to the cultivation of those students of arithmetic!" Fang Xuanling said while sitting there at the moment, looking at Wei Hao.

"Don't worry, I will train it, but it's not to go to the Imperial College, it's useless to go there, there are all your children, they just want to be officials, and now they are old, my arithmetic, but I need it from an early age. I taught you!" Sitting there, Wei Hao nodded and said.

"Well, okay, what is the volume of this cone?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"One-third of the volume of the cylinder, do you know the volume of the cylinder?" Wei Hao said and looked at the ministers, who didn't know when they heard it.

"I don't know about a cylinder. It's pi multiplied by the square of the radius. Do you know the square? The multiplication of two identical numbers is called the square. For example, I said before that the diameter is 30 inches and the height is 60 inches. If it is a cylinder, it is 3.1415926. 15 multiplied by the square of 60 and then multiplied by [-] is the volume of the cylinder, and divided by three is the volume of the cone I mentioned earlier, don’t you know?” Wei Hao asked those ministers.

"It's nonsense, what is the 3.1415926 you mentioned?" A minister refuted Wei Hao and said.
A minister knew about it and immediately stopped him.

"What?" The minister looked at the minister next to him in confusion.

"This was written by Zu Chongzhi. Through calculation, the relationship between the circumference and diameter was calculated more than 100 years ago!" The minister next to him whispered.

"Ah? Me!" The minister was ashamed when he heard this.

"Why do you say you are right?" A minister asked Wei Hao.

"You don't know how to verify it. Take a drum, measure the diameter and height inside, then fill it with water, pour it into a cuboid box, measure it and you'll know, really!" Wei Hao looked at it contemptuously. said those ministers.
When the ministers heard it, they looked at me and I looked at you.

"Shen Yong, how did you know?" Li Shimin asked Wei Hao curiously.

"I figured it out. It's not like them. They know the meaning of the day, the words of the sages, etc., but they don't know why they say that, what else can they say, and they know how to pick up people's teeth!" Wei Hao immediately looked at the ministers with contempt and said. .
When the ministers heard this, they dared not speak up, and now it was Wei Hao's turn to be proud.

"Okay, the Ministry of Industry, let's verify what Wei Hao said is correct, and the Imperial College, record this algorithm, and the students of mathematics will need to learn this!" Li Shimin immediately said to the ministers below.
Officials from the Imperial College and the Ministry of Industry nodded.

"Okay, let's go, Wei Hao, ambush, Xuan Ling, pharmacist, follow me to the study!" Li Shimin stood up after speaking.
Wei Hao and several others immediately stood up and said yes.
Soon, they arrived at Li Shimin's study, and Li Shimin asked them to sit down, and then said: "You must pay close attention to the matter of spring sowing, especially in the south. The north is mainly wheat, so you don't have to worry about it, but in the south, some Rice is planted in some places, but it is necessary to pay close attention to it, and the seeds also need to be prepared. Once the people have no seeds, the local governments need to provide them.

In the past two years, there have been no wars in many places, and the population has increased a lot, but the food production has not increased. If there is not enough food, it will be bad if there is a famine. In addition, silkworm farmers also need to pay attention. Whether the planting area of ​​mulberry leaves is enough, whether it needs to be planted or not, also needs to be counted by people from various governments!The plan for a year lies in spring. If you don’t do those things well in spring, you will be hungry in autumn and winter! "Li Shimin sat there, staring at Fang Xuanling and the others and said.

"Yes, I plan to send officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Industry to various places to inspect the planting situation!" Fang Xuanling nodded and said.

"Well, it's going to be sent out. In the past two years, the number of wars has decreased, but it's time to recuperate. By the way, Shen Yong, you have so many lands, are you ready?" Li Shimin asked Wei Hao stand up.

"Father, I don't know, my father is in charge of it, and my father scolds me every day for not caring about family affairs, so in the next period of time, I will also be busy with family affairs!" Wei Hao rubbed himself The head opened and said.

"How much land does your family have now?" Fang Xuanling looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"I don't know, five to sixty thousand mu. My father said that those fields are all rented out, and there are also food crops for me. The manpower is enough, but I need to keep an eye on it. I can't delay the farming time!" Wei Hao He spoke immediately.

When Fang Xuanling and the others heard this, they shook their heads wryly. Wei Hao's family has [-] to [-] mu of fertile land.

"Well, please help if you have time, no matter what happens, don't delay the farming season!" Li Shimin nodded.

Then he said to Wei Hao: "When are you going to start working on the iron and steel? Now there are wars happening on the frontier. Although they are small-scale, the consumption of military supplies is still very large. Moreover, For grenades, it also requires a lot of steel.

At present, the grenade is very easy to use. From last winter to the present, my Tang soldiers have never been defeated in the border areas. Those Turkic people who came to rob, and everyone in Tubo turned their backs on their backs and killed a lot of enemies. But now, we still Without the strength to completely solve these problems, Datang does not have enough financial and material resources to fight such a large-scale battle, so he can only wait and control the border area first! " Li Shimin said to Wei Hao.

"Father, this can only be done after the freeze is thawed. And the construction of those things also needs to wait for the spring, or wait until the busy farming is over, okay?" Wei Hao said immediately, clasping his hands.

"Well, well, of course, farming is the most important thing, but steel is also important. Now the total amount of steel in my Tang Dynasty is only 20 catties a year, which is far from enough!" Li Shimin sat there, nodded and said .

20 catties!Isn't that equivalent to 150 tons of later generations? A country, just such a little steel, is definitely not enough, not to mention other things, as far as the armor of those soldiers is concerned, 1 soldiers need nearly 10 steel, not to mention weapons. There are also agricultural tools, etc., all of which require steel.

"That's all?" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin and the others in shock and asked.

"Well. That still includes those poor-quality pig irons! Otherwise, how could iron be so expensive, 100 yuan a catty of iron!" Li Jing nodded and said.

"My God, is it so expensive?" Wei Hao looked at them in shock and asked.

He really didn't know that iron was so expensive, Wei Furong bought it before, or Li Shimin rewarded it.

"Well, I can't buy it yet. By the way, Shenyong, if you go to buy steel, how much can you make in a year?" Fang Xuanling stared at Wei Hao and asked.

"How much do you want?" Wei Hao looked at them and asked.

"Of course, the more the better!" Li Shimin said first.

"Let's talk about it first, I need to use steel to build a house this year, about 20 catties!" Wei Hao said while looking at them.

They heard this and looked at Wei Hao in shock. It takes so much iron to build a house. Where they use iron to build a house, they are iron nails.

"Your house is built with iron nails, can't it be stacked with iron nails?" Changsun Wuji stared at Wei Hao and asked.

"I asked you to tell me this, uncle, your house is stacked with iron nails? As long as I'm useful, don't worry, I'll give you a guarantee for how much you want!" Wei Hao said to his eldest grandson. After Wuji finished speaking, he looked at Fang Xuanling and said.

"Then, we need another 20 catties. If we have 40 catties of iron, I think our iron deficiency will be greatly alleviated!" Fang Xuanling looked at Li Shimin while talking.

Li Shimin nodded and agreed, but he was curious, Wei Hao's house needed so much iron?
"Can you make a profit, 20 catties, you look down on people, don't you? I've already done my best, so this is all I can do?" Wei Hao looked at them and said very unhappy.

"No, you mean you can get more? You used up 20 catties yourself, plus we want 20 catties, that's 40 catties!" Li Jing immediately reminded Wei Hao.

"I know, let's do this, set a small goal, a year... um... 200 million catties, it's about the same!" Wei Hao said while sitting there, watching them.

They all looked at Wei Hao dumbfounded, 200 million catties, a year equal to Datang's output of nearly ten years, this is too scary.

"I said Wei Shenyong, you should think about it carefully, if you don't, then I will punish you!" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and said, thinking to himself, why is this kid still blowing up?

"You can rest assured, but the cost is quite a lot. I estimate that the construction of the entire steel plant will not be enough without 10 yuan!" Wei Hao then said to them.

"10 jin, don't worry, the Ministry of Civil Affairs will give 15 jin, you can do it with confidence, we don't want 200 million jin, just 50 jin, how many things can be solved with 50 jin?" Fang Xuanling immediately said to Wei Hao excitedly.

"Yes, if you get another 10 yuan from the internal money, it will cost 50 catties, okay?" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and said excitedly.

"Success, don't worry, the money is in place, and we will start working soon!" Wei Hao nodded and said while patting his chest.

"Well, I really hope that you can succeed. The salt item has solved the big problem of the court. Now every month, the Ministry of Civil Affairs can earn [-] to [-] guan, which is very good!" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao. , said happily.
