Chapter 364 Measure the Field
Li Shan has been very busy recently, waiting for Chang'an's reply, and at the same time preparing various affairs in advance, such as brewing wine. In name, he said that he had to wait for Li Shimin's reply and obtain permission from the Jingzhao Du family, but in fact Li Shan didn't care. , the big deal is to change the name.

What is Yuhuchun?

I am obviously Erguotou!

In addition, Li Shan has to be busy with teaching... But this time it is not medical skills, but arithmetic.

All kinds of rumors about Li Shan have been spread everywhere in Dai County. Those local powerful families look down on medical skills, and they can't learn poetry, but they choose arithmetic... This is a very useful thing, whether it is to manage the family It is useful for taking care of common affairs, or becoming an official.

Many people invited him, and Li Shan started to teach in desperation. The students are basically the children of the local powerful clan. Of course, they are now the personal guards of the county magistrate in name.

However, if you want to learn arithmetic, you have to pay tuition... Those who are not clear-headed send money privately, and those who are smart enough to ask privately.

As for the one who sent ten pieces of jerky...that's completely mindless!
In Li Shan's plan, these powerful clans are very useful... At that time, He Lou Ziqian managed Longxi, and both He Lou's family and his in-law Liu's family moved to Longxi for a generation. There are many people in the clan who are good at grooming and raising horses, such as The Zhang family in the south of Dai County got their start in the early years by slowly accumulating wealth through businessmen in Yunzhou.

At dusk, after a day's exhaustion, he went back to the post house, looked around and saw no one, Li Shan was stunned for a long time before he remembered that Mrs. Zhou had said early in the morning that the house was completed today, so they should have moved in.

Go out from the side door, and make a half circle. On the back of the post house, on a large open space, there are three red brick mansions side by side. Office, living in the back.

Li Shan did not take much care of the construction of the house. The shape is a bit weird and has the characteristics of this era, but it also has Li Shan's handwriting in Zhujiagou. The most typical one is the roof...it is actually flat.

"Is it leaking?"

"Lang Jun is back." Mrs. Zhou greeted him at the gate of the backyard, "Lang Jun is really ingenious, and he really didn't miss it."

Li Shan entered the house and looked up, and couldn't help but chuckle. It must be that the craftsmen were worried, and actually built two layers of roof, the top is flat, and the other is a roof made of tiles to imitate rain leakage.

A few days ago, Li Shan found a piece of limestone. It happened that there was a coal mine and a high-temperature brick kiln. He came up with the idea and tried to burn cement... After many attempts, he barely succeeded, but it was not very useful.

Paving the road... This requires a lot of resources to tilt, and Li Shan feels that there is not enough here and there for his own affairs.

Buildings... The cement buildings of the later generations need steel bars as their framework. In this era, where can I get steel bars, let alone know how to get them, and even if I get them, it is impossible to use them here.

Finally, after thinking and thinking, Li Shan simply asked someone to build such a roof... not for anything else, but for feelings. I remember when the neighbors who went out to work built a new house when they were in elementary school and junior high school, they got such a roof. Very convenient.

Turning around, Li Shan nodded with satisfaction, entered the inner room, and smelled a faint fragrance. Xiaoman was holding an incense ball to incense the bedding, and the clothes hanger beside him was neatly hung with Mingguang armor... Xiaoman understands this best.

"Lang Jun." Xiaoman jumped off the bed and put his arms around Li Shan's arm, "It took so long to complete, I really feel sorry for you."

Li Shan responded casually. He originally wanted to wait until the guards were all completed. It was Ma Zhou who advised him not to be too deliberate... This guy's mouth is really stinky. Everyone was shocked.

Why are you startled?
For example, in the Spring and Autumn Period, Wu Qi sucked gangrene, and the mothers of the soldiers were frightened... My son will die.

Turning to the next door to take a look, Li Shan suddenly turned his head and glanced at Mrs. Zhou, now there is a place, and after being a monk for so long, it is finally over!
During this period of time, the three of them slept on the same bed, and Li Shan didn't care about flying around, but Zhou's skin was thin, and he couldn't show his face in front of Xiaoman, and Xiaoman...couldn't do it for the first time. just fly?

"Where's the old horse?"

"Mister lives in the outer courtyard." Zhou said softly, "I've already returned."

During this period of time, Ma Zhou was not very busy. Many things Li Shan said to be directly explained to the following, and some things... Li Shan did not explain the follow-up arrangements thoroughly, so Ma Zhou resumed a leisurely pace of life.

Until a few days ago, Li Shan began to teach mathematics.

At first, Ma Zhou dismissed it. He had learned "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", but he was quickly humiliated by Li Shan. He sat in class every day and learned it obediently, although he was convinced.

"Today there are chickens and rabbits in the same cage. There are 35 heads on the top and 94 feet on the bottom. How many are the chickens and rabbits?"

Li Shan heard this sentence as soon as he entered the door. He made an equation in his mind and blurted out: "Twenty chickens have three, rabbits twelve."

Ma Zhou's lips trembled, "Have you read "Sun Tzu's Mathematical Classics"?"

"No, what is that?"

"That……"

"It's easy...uh..." Li Shan waited for a long time before saying, "You haven't learned this yet."

"That……"

"Learned in Lingnan."

"What Lingnan learned again?"

"Yeah." Li Shan also felt that this excuse was useless, and after thinking about it, he added: "There are some Hu people who are proficient in arithmetic."

Ma Zhou sighed, and didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, in the eyes of the world, and in his eyes...they are two people!
"To give Fangyuan today..." Ma Zhou suddenly asked again, "What do you want to do?"

Li Shan asked Xiaoman outside the door to fetch a disc and demonstrated it to Ma Zhou.

Ma Zhou has a foundation in arithmetic, and quickly figured it out. He raised his head suddenly, but lowered his voice, "You want to measure the fields of the whole county?"

Li Shan smiled, the guy in front of him really couldn't see the elegant demeanor of a white-clothed gentleman in history, but he knew a little about it, even without Li Shimin, he could still be famous for future generations.

This is a tape measure that didn't come out until the Ming Dynasty. It is the most useful for measuring land. It came out when Zhang Juzheng reformed to measure the fields of the world... Indeed, Li Shan was going to measure the fields of Dai County.

In this country, for thousands of years, land has always been the most valued production resource from the emperor to the common people. The fighting, war, division, and reunification for thousands of years have all been based on the land.

To measure land, to say small is small, to say big is also big... The key is that the world's aristocratic families must be naturally vigilant about this.

Before he knew it, beads of sweat dripped from Ma Zhou's forehead, and he thought of Cui Bo's head hanging around his neck.

Li Shan can understand that it is absolutely impossible to measure the world's land in the era when powerful families are prevalent.

The last time the land in the world was measured on a large scale was Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty. At that time, the clan system had not yet prevailed in the world.

The next large-scale measurement of the world's land was Wang Anshi's square land average tax law in the Song Dynasty. At that time, the clan system had disintegrated, but even so, Wang Anshi's fate was still there.

Li Shan glanced at Ma Zhou, who was gradually calming down, and he realized that he would not be so stupid.

Measuring the fields in Dai County was to coordinate with the following series of actions...Of course, Li Shan also had other intentions, but it was not time to mention them.
