Hongwu Daming: Why hasn't my son rebelled?

Chapter 11 His Royal Highness the Liao King will have supernatural powers!
Ying Tian Mansion at this time is the time when the spring is warm and flowers are blooming in February.

As the saying goes, spring comes early, and autumn harvests are busy. Most of the common people have already started working in the fields outside Yingtianfu City. Wang Chusi also worked hard in the fields with a hoe on his shoulder.

Because this opportunity to farm is really hard-won, not to mention this is his own field!Ever since Emperor Zhu came and drove the Yuan people away, every household filled out the household registration booklet to divide the land.

The most important thing is that the annual taxes paid are far less than those in the Yuan Dynasty. In the Yuan Dynasty, although the taxes seemed to be very low on the surface, those who collected taxes benefited from both sides. Receive ten copies!As in the past, all the things grown in the field were paid, and they still owed taxes. I really watched the whole family starve to death, and there was nothing I could do.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, although there have been more taxes on the surface, they are as much as they say. Whoever dares to collect more taxes, the emperor really directly peeled their skins, filled them with grass and hung them up. Now there is still a hanging at the gate of the government office. As for the human fur man, he was the former magistrate of the county. He had only been in office for two years. Because of the over-collection of taxes, his life was gone. Anyone who mentioned it clapped his hands and cheered!

There is hope in this day, and I work hard.

While Wang Chusi was working, he saw a group of soldiers on horseback, surrounded by two young men, came to the foot of Zijin Mountain. The group of people were also holding two long poles. I also followed a lot of ordinary people who came to watch the excitement, and the busy farmers in the surrounding farmland also gathered here one after another, wanting to see what this was about.

Wang Chusi also put down his work, followed to watch the fun, but looked at the two young men, who were dressed differently from the others. Looking carefully, Wang Chusi was so frightened that he was about to lose his grip on the hoe. , I heard someone whispering beside me:

"Hey, those two are wearing dragons?"

The people around were also taken aback when they heard this, but someone with knowledge explained:

"That's called a python with four claws."

"Then the two of them are princes!"

"Amazing!"

The common people said from a distance that Wang Chusi didn't understand these things, but since he was a prince, he must be a great person. The dragon begets the dragon and the phoenix, and the emperor's son is indistinguishable.

Wang Chusi was thinking like this in his heart, when he saw a person running back in front of him, he said with an excited expression on his face:

"Do you know who these two princes are? What are they here for?"

The others saw that this man seemed to know something, and hurriedly urged him to speak quickly. The man took a sip of water and said:
"I just inquired about it. The taller one is the third son of today's emperor, and he is His Royal Highness King Liao. He is here to test how high this Zijin Mountain is!"

Wang Chusi was startled and said:

"How high is the mountain? How do you measure it? Does His Royal Highness King Liao want to drill into the mountain to measure it?"

The other ordinary people were also happy when they heard it, and said one after another:
"Hey, that's a supernatural power."

"I'm afraid it's not a fairy?"

"It's also possible that he just casually said that he came out for an outing."

The common people said so in their mouths, but they were the same as Wang Chusi in their hearts, and they all wanted to see, how does His Royal Highness King Liao measure the height of Zijin Mountain?
………………

At this time, Zhu Qi didn't know that the people who watched the excitement gathered behind him were talking about the surveying and mapping of mountain heights.

After all, he was far away and couldn’t hear him. He came over grandiosely, and it was not a confidential matter. It was impossible to keep it secret, and he didn’t drive away those people. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang was different from other emperors. A beating, not to mention Zhu Qi's temperament, it is impossible to drive away the people.

Seeing that the positions were almost the same, Zhu Qi began to arrange the people under his command and started the work of surveying and mapping.

First of all, the first benchmark is lowered, and after a thousand steps, the second benchmark is lowered.

Then start from the first pole and gradually back up until the highest point of the mountain peak coincides with the highest point of the pole in the field of vision, mark the position where you stand, and record the distance of the number of steps back.

Then start from the second pole, repeat the previous action, confirm that the top of the second pole coincides with the highest point of the mountain, mark the position where you stand, and record the distance of the number of steps back.

The soldiers of the Jinwu Guard, listening to His Royal Highness Liao Wang's order, were also at a loss, thinking what they were doing here, setting up poles here, retreating back and forth, playing with benchmarks from beginning to end, with Shan Gao What's the matter?

They were puzzled in their hearts, but they didn't dare to ask any more questions. They could only execute the order, and then saw His Highness King Liao start to write and draw on the ground with a branch after obtaining all the data. don't know.

Zhu Di couldn't understand either, so he couldn't help asking:

"Third brother, what are you doing?"

Zhu Qi was doing an arithmetic problem, and he answered casually: "It's doing the math."

Zhu Di has also learned arithmetic, but he has never done it like the third brother. Besides, what does these things have to do with Shan Gao?He still wanted to ask again, but Zhu Qi had already clapped his hands, threw aside the wooden stick on which the arithmetic question was written, and said:

"The calculation is over, the first mountain is 120 feet high, let's go, the next mountain!"

Everyone in Zhu Di is stupid, so it's over?Looking at Zhu Di's bewildered expression, Zhu Qi knew that he didn't understand. Using the algorithm of similar triangles to calculate the height of mountains was not his own creation. Zhu Qi said openly at this time:

"It's called the similar triangle algorithm. Do you know the multi-difference technique? It's very troublesome to explain. I'll talk to you later. Time is limited. Let's quickly measure the data and go back to make a sand table."

Zhu Di also hurriedly responded, and a group of people collected the benchmarks, and rode their horses to the next hill.

Only a group of common people were left standing there, but someone well-informed quickly sent back news that His Royal Highness King Liao had already calculated the height of the Zijin Mountain!

A group of people rushed over and asked:

"Tell me! How much is it?"

The man said:

"What I heard just now is 120 feet high!"

Most people don't know how high this mountain is, but they estimated it to be 120 feet, which seems to be about the same. At this time, an elderly man suddenly shouted:
"I heard from my grandfather that this mountain is really a hundred feet high!"

Everyone was shocked again. So, is this a calculation?

"Is it really right? Is it so powerful?"

"How did His Highness calculate, did he really cast a spell?"

"His Royal Highness King Liao must have cast a spell! You see, His Highness wrote and drew just now, isn't it just doing something!"

"It is estimated that just a while ago, His Highness's soul came out of his body, entered the Zijin Mountain, and flew from the ground to the top!"

"That's right! It must be so."

Everyone hurriedly ran to the place where Zhu Qi was writing and drawing on the ground just now, and saw a bunch of incomprehensible symbols on the ground, which confirmed that His Royal Highness King Liao used his magical powers to measure and map the height of Zijin Mountain.

Wang Chusi was the same as the others, with a shocked expression on his face, and he always regarded His Royal Highness King Liao as a man of supernatural powers. After all, it took less than a stick of incense to stand at the foot of the mountain and just walk a few steps , The matter of calculating the height of the mountain is beyond the scope of Wang Chusi's understanding.

Wang Chusi ran home with a hoe on his shoulder, and when he saw a fairy, this is it, so hurry up and tell the mother-in-law at home!

Our Royal Highness Liao will have supernatural powers!
