The Tang Dynasty started from saving Empress Changsun

Chapter 209 Palace Marriage Law

Afterwards, Chen Jingke called Xu Shanying and the other five together again, and said, "You have read those books, now I will give you some questions."

As he spoke, he picked up a branch and wrote three questions on the ground:
What is a soldier.

What is the meaning of military existence.

What is the purpose of soldiers.

"It's these three questions. You can discuss them at will, read any information, or ask anyone."

"In short, you can use all available means to find the answer, but I hope that what you give me is the most authentic answer in your heart."

"There is no need to force everyone to have the same answer. For the time being, there is no fixed standard for this question. Every answer may be right."

"Okay, you can think about this question, and tell me the answer in two days."

"Here." The five of Xu Shanying looked at each other in blank dismay, what are they doing?Besides, is this a question that the five of us are qualified to think about?
But since the order was issued from above, they can only work hard to find the answer.

After finishing these trivial matters, Chen Jingke went to Erya Courtyard to look for Wu Shu. This was the meeting place they had agreed on just now, and they found her here without accident.

Right now, she is showing off with the two sisters Yihe Yilian holding a mirror. Obviously, this kind of glass mirror has successfully conquered the two sisters.

Meanwhile, Zhou Xiang and other elders are working hard with their ledgers.

Seeing Chen Jingke coming over, they just said hello and continued to do their own things.

Chen Jingke didn't join the group of three women, but went to Zhou Xiang and the others to watch their audit.

Zixiao Temple has fully switched to a new-style account book. For more than a month, everything has been going well without any problems, and this type of account book is very convenient for checking.

Xiao Zhang only needs to look at the numbers at the beginning and end to roughly know whether there is a problem.Although the large account is troublesome, the calculation speed is also faster than before.

Right now they are conducting a monthly audit of the account books, and after the accounting is completed, the account books for this month will be temporarily sealed.

At the end of the year, a general accounting will be carried out, and then the account books for one year will be completely archived and sealed.

It can only be read with the consent of Sun Simiao, Chen Jingke and Wu Shu.

Calculating bills is tedious and boring.For example, what Zhou Xiang and the others are doing right now is simple addition and subtraction, but they can't make mistakes after repeated hundreds or thousands of times, which is a test of patience.

It’s okay if there is a computer, but it’s really a tormenting thing to check the calculation manually.

Something that can be called an accounting magic tool appeared in Chen Jingke's mind, the abacus.

He had thought about making this thing before, but was delayed by the glass issue.Now that I have time, let's do it.

So I came to Yinshufang again to find Mei Laoshi and the others.

To a carpenter, this stuff really doesn't have much technical content, so after describing it like this, they would immediately understand it.

Several craftsmen work together, you make the frame, I make the beaded wooden pole, and he makes the beads. It didn't take long for a slightly rough abacus to be made.

The frame is made of light-colored wood, and the beads are made of dark wood, which is easy to see at a glance.

Chen Jingke shook it a few times, making a rattling sound, the sound was very nice.Dial it by hand, it is very smooth and smooth.

Immediately satisfied, he said: "That's right, that's how it is. You can make a hundred of them according to this pattern, and then each student in the school will have one."

All the craftsmen have children studying in the school, which means that their children also have children, and their attitudes are suddenly different.

They all said that it must be built well.

Then Chen Jingke took the abacus back to the Erya Academy, and deliberately threw the abacus with a rattling sound.

Wu Shu knew his man's character, so he must have come up with something good to show off.

It was amused in his heart, but he still cooperated and said: "Really, what are you holding, it's so strange."

Chen Jingke said triumphantly: "You will never guess it. This is a good thing. It comes and goes. If anyone can guess what it does, I will reward you a lot."

Yihe chuckled and said: "Then you have to talk about the reward first, if it's too little we won't bother, it's not worth it."

Chen Jingke said angrily: "I didn't expect you to learn badly from them. Is this really that kind of stingy person? Whoever guesses correctly will promise Yihe to him."

"Pfft..." Wu Shu and Yilian beside him laughed.

All the big men on the side immediately started booing:
"A real person must count on what he says."

"I've been waiting for this opportunity for a long time."

"This time I must guess right."

Yihe was a little dumbfounded, but she didn't expect to get burned.But it is not easy for her to manage the Erya Academy for so long. Although her cheeks are flushed with embarrassment, she still said loudly:

"Let's be fair if we want to come, what if I guess right?"

Chen Jingke smiled and said: "You guessed it right, you can choose any of these ten elders."

"Haha..." Everyone roared with laughter.

"Yihe chooses me and chooses me."

"Why choose you, choose me."

Yihe couldn't hold back anymore, she was the one to suffer anyway, she stomped her feet and said, "You guys are bullying, sister, you have to help me get justice."

Wu Shu blinked and said, "I think everyone is very good, why don't you think about it?"

Yihe refused, and said: "Sister, why are you bullying me with them?"

Wu Shu smiled and said: "Okay, my sister will help you, can't you help me? Don't be joking, everyone, come and guess what it is. If you guess correctly, let the real person treat everyone to dinner."

Everyone also knows that jokes should not be taken too far, so they turned over this article and started guessing.

It's just a pity that none of them were specialized in mathematics. Their mathematics knowledge was learned from Chen Jingke later. After guessing for a long time, no one could touch it.

Seeing that no one could do it right, Chen Jingke was even more proud, and said: "You can't guess it, so now I will tell you the answer, it is for arithmetic."

What he didn't see was that when he made the announcement, Wu Shu silently said two words: Suanchou.

"Count?" Zhou Xiang asked suspiciously, "How does this thing count?"

Chen Jingke first briefly explained the rules of the abacus, and then read a few sets of numbers at random, and the result appeared after a dozen.

Everyone checked it out, and it was undoubtedly correct.

The curious people read a few more sets of numbers, and did all the calculations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, and they were all correct.

Now everyone no longer had any doubts, and they all marveled at Chen Jingke's whimsical ideas.

Even Wu Shu was very surprised. Although she guessed that it was something similar to counting chips, she didn't expect it to be so convenient and quick.

With such a useful tool, counting will no longer be so troublesome in the future.

Especially for accounting, it is simply not too convenient.

Settle accounts?She immediately thought of the matter that Chen Jingke walked around here and left again, and she still didn't understand what was going on.

This little man is really smart.

Compared with simple calculations by hand, the abacus is indeed very useful, but it is useless right now.Learning and mastering the abacus takes time.

You can't use it to settle accounts until you have mastered it proficiently, so Zhou Xiang and others still have to use their hands to calculate accounts.

However, there are only one month's accounts, and the amount is not very large, so it didn't take long to complete the accounting.

Chen Jingke asked Tianranju to send a lot of delicious food over, which can be regarded as a reward for everyone.

In the afternoon, he didn't run around anymore, and just stayed in his small courtyard to study knowledge.

At night, Yi Nu finally found an opportunity to launch a night attack, and Chen Jingke couldn't stand the fierce action like a little tiger.

Early the next morning, he went to Hongwen Museum to visit Lu Cai, and this time he brought the science textbooks he had prepared.

For his arrival, Lu Cai naturally welcomed him very much.After getting in touch with Chen Jingke, when communicating with other people, he always feels that he is playing the piano against the cow.

It is obviously a very simple truth. He said it once and the listeners looked blank, and then they either continued to look blank, or they became impatient.

After all, chronological classics is the best knowledge in this age, and although other studies will not be dismissed as heresy, they are also objects of discrimination.

But even when talking about Confucian classics with others, he is also a different kind.After all, it is really difficult for a materialist atheist who sympathizes with the people at the bottom to find a sympathetic person in this era.

But Chen Jingke is different, he only needs to mention it, and Chen Jingke can understand it immediately, and draw inferences from one instance.

In terms of thinking, Chen Jingke is more radical than him... All this made him feel like a confidant.

Some time ago, he learned that Chen Jingke was inconvenient, and he was very disappointed.How can you be unhappy to see someone you've been thinking of visit suddenly at this moment.

In addition to the above circumstances, there is another point that he was summoned by Li Shimin because of helping to write "Huaxia Civilization".

After some questioning, the emperor was very satisfied with his knowledge, and then gave him a task.

He naturally knew what was going on, and was very grateful to Chen Jingke, and he solemnly expressed his thanks as soon as they met.

Chen Jingke accepted his thanks generously, and then asked about some tasks.

Lu Caidao: "The sage ordered me to write the Marriage Law, but you know me, and you never believe in the theory of fate. Hey, it's just that the holy order is hard to violate, so I have to do my best."

Chen Jingke smiled and said: "Although you don't believe in the theory of strange powers and chaotic gods, in terms of understanding this way, there are few people in the world who can match it. A sage asked you to write it, which is a wise man."

Lu Cai smiled bitterly and said, "The real man is joking, I prefer to write articles against the theory of life."

Chen Jingke thought for a while and said, "Actually, the sages are not really superstitious. The main reason is that all the other races are proud to marry a Tang girl and propose marriage."

"The imperial court is too much trouble and it's not easy to refuse directly. The main reason for asking you to write the marriage law is to have an excuse to refuse the matter."

"You just have to think along this line of thought, and make the logic of the book smooth and self-consistent so that you can't find any faults."

Lu Cai suddenly realized, and said gratefully: "So that's the case, thanks to the guidance of the real person, otherwise I really don't know where to start."

Chen Jingke smiled and said: "Mr. Lu is too polite, I just happen to know some news."

After chatting for a few more words, he took out the science textbook he wrote and said, "Here is a book, Mr. Lu, please correct me."
