Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 355
While Luo Youdu was playing with Chou Chou, there was a message from outside the temple that Chu Yan, a doctor of calculus, asked to see him.

Luo Youdu thought in his heart: "It came so fast!"

Then he said: "Let him wait in Wende Hall."

After giving Chou Chou to Fu Qing'er, Luo Youdu strolled to Wende Hall.

Chu Yan tied his hands and feet in the Wende Palace, feeling a little uncomfortable, anxious in his heart, looking around secretly, and seeing the slightly dilapidated Wende Palace, he sighed in his heart: "Your Majesty is a benevolent Lord!"

This Wende Hall is a side hall where Luo Youdu used his office for a short rest. Generally, only the core officials who are highly valued are eligible to be interviewed here.

Chu Yan has been working as a doctor of calendar in Bianjing for ten years, and he has been unknown, and he is convinced that he has never met Luo Youdu, so it is inevitable that he will feel a little uncomfortable when he suddenly receives this courtesy.

The sound of footsteps sounded, Chu Yan was too frightened to move rashly, bowed his head and said, "Chu Yan pays homage to Your Majesty!"

"Free gift!"

Luo Youdu pointed to the mat beside him and said, "Dr. Chu, take a seat."

Chu Yan knelt down on the mat respectfully, very reserved.

Seeing this, Luo Youdu smiled and said, "This is Wende Palace, there is no need to be too nervous."

Chu Yan calmed down and said, "I'm here for the mathematics compiled by Your Majesty."

Luo Youdu smiled and said, "What's Dr. Chu's opinion on mathematics!"

Chu Yan sighed: "Surprised to be a heavenly man! I studied all night and put Chinese numbers into "Zhou Bi Suan Jing" and "Nine Chapters of Math", and found that the original calculation method of more than hundreds of characters was calculated with Chinese numbers. It’s just a short formula, it’s unbelievable.”

He finally added: "Is Your Majesty a god-man?"

Later generations may think that Arabic numerals are very simple, but these simple ten numbers are the result of countless mathematicians studying evolution for hundreds or even thousands of years.

China already has a solidified system in terms of numbers, which is complex and profound, making it daunting.

This is why spells cannot be spread widely.

It's too professional, and most people can't accept it at all.

Even Luo Youdu, facing the three-dimensional equation in "Ji Gu Suan Jing", has one head and two people.

Randomly excerpt a sentence "If you build an embankment, the difference between the top and bottom of the west end is six feet eight feet two inches, and the difference between the top and bottom of the east end is six feet two inches. The height of the east end is less than the height of the west end. The height of Dongtou is 470 feet [-] inches, which is more than the height of [-] [-] feet [-] inches in Dongtou..."

All calculation methods and problem-solving algorithms are memorized word by word.

Chinese mathematics is ahead of the world, but Chinese counting methods are more than a thousand years behind.

It was not until the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty that Arabic numerals were accepted for use in China.

This also has to be praised, the ancestors are awesome.

With the backward counting method, it has led the times in this field for thousands of years.

The promotion and popularization of Arabic numerals will facilitate the counting of people all over the world, and it will also enable the history of Chinese mathematics to make great progress.

This mathematical progress can promote the progress of physical chemistry.

Luo Youdu was a businessman in his previous life, with little knowledge of mathematics, physics and chemistry.

As the emperor, it is impossible for him to study these things with all his heart. All he can do is to mark the passing lanes, and then let the people below study them, so as to stimulate the progress of the times.

Arabic numerals are the overtaking lane in the field of mathematics.

Luo Youdu looked at the amazed Chu Yan, and said with a smile: "In the doctor's opinion, can this set of numbers be incorporated into the "Ten Books of Suanjing"?"

Chu Yan is a great mathematician of this era, and the four books of "Nine Chapters", "Jigu", "Zhushu", and "Sea Island" are the most profound.

He had an apprentice named Jia Xian, and their master and apprentice broke the embarrassing situation that the art skills had stagnated after Wang Xiaotong in the early Tang Dynasty.

Chu Yan pondered and said: "I think it is feasible, but it needs to be tested."

"It doesn't matter!" Luo Youdu said: "There is no rush, you can take your time. I named the simple numbers after mathematics and used them in the world to facilitate people's daily calculations. The task of the doctor is to compare the Huaxia numbers with the "Ten Books of the Calculus" ", and recompile the "Ten Books of Suanjing" in a more convenient way."

"A doctor wants people, and I will give you people. If you want money, I will support you. In short, Huaxia Numerals are not only a tool that facilitates people's lives, but also the beginning of the revolution in spells. If I want to promote spells, doctors are the leaders."

Chu Yan's blood was boiling with excitement, and his eyes were shining brightly.

Luo Youdu showed a mysterious smile. After compiling the "Ten Books of Suanjing", Chu Yan must have reached a certain level in the use of Chinese numerals. I would like to mention a few general directions for him to study, not to mention far away, let the magic number together , It should not be difficult to move forward 500 years.

Luo Youdu specially met Chu Yan in the Hall of Wende today, and also gave a message to the outside world, Chu Yan has a very high status in his heart.

As the new year approached, Luo Youdu saw Zhang Jin again after a month and a half.

It is also Wende Hall, compared to Chu Yan's formality.

Zhang Jin was much calmer, and respectfully presented his achievements of the past one and a half months.

Luo Youdu looked at it seriously: Jiao Jixun, the Jiedu envoy of the Zhangwu Army, raised more than [-] sons, all of whom were in key positions in the Zhangwu Army.

Zhang Duo, the envoy of the Zhongwu Festival, believed in Buddhism. In order to build a temple for his mother to pray for blessings, he built the Enci Temple in Xuzhou and recruited peasants to build it.After the completion of the work, wages were not paid on the grounds of calling for labor.

Hou Tong, the envoy of Zhongzheng Jiedu, did not do any serious crimes, but he loved cockfighting. If his subordinates made mistakes, no matter how big or small their crimes were, as long as they offered famous chickens, they would be forgiven.Under his protection, it has become normal for subordinates to act recklessly, disturbing and hurting the people.

Gong Shu, the Jiedu envoy of Zhen'an, was awarded thousands of acres of fertile land because of Gao Ping's merits. In order to irrigate his own fields, he forcibly closed the river and changed the river course, causing tens of thousands of fields downstream to be affected. It has been more than eight years...

Luo Youdu looked at all these reckless acts, and was not particularly angry, but said, "I will summon them to Beijing, and you will fight on the way, and you will be directly sent to the sky prison!"

At the same time, Luo Youdu ordered Gao Huaide and Shi Shouxin to make preparations for going south to Suqian and west to Songzhou and Xuzhou, just in case.

In just two days, six Jiedu envoys were successively arrested by Wude envoys.

In an instant, the court was shocked.

None of the civil and military officials would have expected that the Lord Renjun, who was usually friendly and laughing with them, would be so ruthless when he struck down six Jiedu envoys in one go.

The method was radical and ruthless, no less than Guo Rong beheaded more than 70 heads in one breath after the Battle of Gaoping.

Often Chaochao meeting.

Civil servants and military generals are on both sides.

The atmosphere around is dignified.

Luo Youdu laughed happily. The first sentence recorded by the official historian in the record of daily life is "Your Highness is funny, gentle and approachable, and won the love of all officials."

Therefore, since Luo Youdu ascended the throne, the atmosphere of the court meeting has always been relaxed and comfortable.

National affairs are resolved one by one in a cheerful atmosphere.

Compared with Guo Rong's solemnity, civil and military officials prefer this new atmosphere.

But with Jiao Jixun, Zhang Duo, Hou Tong, Gong Shu and other six people arrested together.

Wen and Wu of the Manchu Dynasty suddenly realized that the benevolent emperor whom he was loyal to might be even more powerful than Guo Rong.

At least there were traces of Guo Rong's anger, but Luo Youdu took down the six Jiedu envoys without making a sound.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, up to several prime ministers, military chiefs, and down to local officials were not aware of it at all.

Even Jiao Jixun, Zhang Duo, Hou Tong, and Gong Shu themselves realized that they had been tricked the moment they were captured.

After Chai Shouli put Luo Youdu under house arrest in Xiangguo Temple, the six of them were all terrified. While preparing for a desperate fight, they sent people to Bianjing to investigate the situation.

As a result, Luo Youdu seemed to have nothing happened. He accepted his concubine against the Confucian family, publicized and educated, and discussed state affairs with civil and military officials in a friendly manner every day, without any intention of making things big.

Seeing this, the six people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and some even felt contemptuous.

Until it was taken by Wu Desi...

Luo Youdu came to the seat as usual and sat down, seeing that the atmosphere in the hall was different from before, he understood why.

It's funny that being casual is his character. After becoming the emperor, he didn't deliberately make himself bitter and hateful in order to maintain his dignity, and he still went his own way.

Majesty has never come from a sullen face.

"See Your Majesty!"

Luo Youdu said: "Zhu Aiqing is flat." He looked at the civil and military officials of His Highness, and said, "I think you have already expected the content of today's court meeting. Jiao Jixun, Zhang Duo, Hou Tong, and Gong Shu are all heroes! Jiao Jixun is here The Battle of Huainan and the Northern Expedition to Yanyou all made great achievements. But so what? Military merit is not a talisman for his crimes, nor is it a reason for them to harm and oppress the people, an excuse..."

"I will not be stingy with rewards for those who have made meritorious deeds. But I will not show any mercy to those who take credit for their pride and persecute the people."

He glanced at His Royal Highness General Xilie.

Han Lingkun, Han Tong, Gao Huaide, Pan Mei, and Cao Bin responded calmly, but Shi Shouxin didn't dare to look at them, feeling a little guilty.

He sat at the top and said sadly: "After all, he is a minister with meritorious service. I don't want to humiliate him with ordinary interrogation methods. I decided to select three people from the military and hold a joint military trial to convict them of their crimes."

"As for the candidates, the general of the left guard, Xiang Xun, will be the leader, and the Taifu Li Yun, and the commander of the palace, Shi Shouxin, will be assisted."

Luo Youdu looked at Shi Shouxin meaningfully.

This guy has changed a lot since he followed him.

It's just that I still get muddled occasionally, it's mostly a temper problem, and the impact is not big.

Luo Youdu just beat and beat this time, so as not to cause trouble.

Luo Youdu didn't intend to discuss this matter with anyone.

From the very beginning, he intended to make an example of others, and gave them an extra way to make them take it lightly and avoid rebellion.

Although the current Jiedu Envoys do not have the strength to rebel, they are really forced to the extreme, jumping over the wall in a hurry, forcibly recruiting strong men from the city, and defending the city to the death, it is still a bit troublesome.

"Okay, this matter has been decided. If you have something to do, you can report it. If you have nothing to do, you can retreat!"

He still had a smile on his face, but he didn't dare to deal with it with the old attitude...
