Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 139 Kaos' Math Problem

Lao Zhu's heart was covered with a layer of gloom.

The smarter and more capable Su Jing is, the happier he is.

Because only in this way, Zhu Biao can learn more things, and he can sit in his own position in the future, and he can be more stable.

But in the same way, Su Jing is also a double-edged sword, if he can't control it, Zhu Biao will be injured.

The only thing that makes Lao Zhu feel more at ease is that Su Shi does not have any power in the court.

Talented and capable, but only lonely.

Don't look at Lao Zhu's usual look of contempt for Su Jing in front of Empress Ma.

But in fact, it was only because he wanted to reassure Queen Ma.

Empress Ma's love for Su Jing was visible to the naked eye.

"Su Jing, Su Jing, I hope you are really smart enough."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed slightly.

"Chongba, what's wrong with you, what are you feeling?"

Empress Ma walked towards Lao Zhu with a plate of snacks.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "Sister, what delicious food did you bring me?"

"The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and the imperial dining room has made a lot of mooncakes. I think they look good, so I'll give you some to try."

Empress Ma put the moon cakes at Zhu Yuanzhang's table, and happened to see Zhu Biao's reply.

"Did Biaoer write back again? What did you write this time?"

Queen Ma reached out and took a look.

"Just some recent things."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care at all, and ate mooncakes on his own.

Sugar-oil mixtures are always popular in ancient times when supplies were scarce.

Even though Lao Zhu is already the emperor, he has eaten a lot of delicacies from mountains and seas.

But his memories of being a commoner are still there, and mooncakes are still very delicious to him.

"I didn't expect Mr. Su to do such a thing during this matter. You really deserve to be Mr. Su!"

Empress Ma sighed after reading it.

She has always recognized and appreciated Su Jing's ability.

She also knew that her husband, Emperor Zhu of Ming Dynasty, was always suspicious of the people around him.

Empress Ma can also understand, after all, in the throne of the emperor, it is impossible not to be suspicious about many things.

But she is also clear about the importance of Su Jing to Daming.

She must be a good lubricant between Lao Zhu and Su Jing. Talents like Su Jing must not disappear inexplicably because of Lao Zhu's suspicion.

Whether it's the shoes made by myself, Zhu Biao's jade pendant, or the cloak that Lao Zhu himself used.

These are all for armoring Su Jing.

Of course, no matter how thick the armor is, for Lao Zhu, it can't compare to Queen Ma's words.

Reminiscing about old times is only for his own family in Lao Zhu.

"Indeed, Su Jing behaves like a general, and Biao'er can learn a lot."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded after eating two moon cakes.

Empress Ma was slightly taken aback when she heard this, and then said with a smile: "Chongba, what's the matter, you, I don't see you commenting on Mr. Su like this on weekdays."

No matter how Su Jing performed before, Zhu Yuanzhang always had to find several directions to fight.

Even though Empress Ma knew that it was Zhu Yuanzhang's stubborn mouth, it is still very interesting that the stubborn person suddenly stopped talking.

"Sister, what you said, I am the emperor, of course I must be fair. Su Jing has done a good job, what's the matter with a few compliments?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was serious, as if it really happened.

Empress Ma covered her mouth and smiled, without bothering about it, she said casually:

"Chonghachi, the Dahondo is very lively recently, do you know that?"

Zhu Yuanzhang heard the words, and immediately said: "It's that Kaos, he asked to go to the main hall to study, I agree, those little ghosts must be around Kaos asking questions."

Even if I am quite interested in the affairs of the Great Qin, how can those young sons be spared?

Queen Ma nodded and said: "Yes, now the princes are pestering Kaos after class, but Kaos is very serious about studying. I have asked several teachers, and they all have good comments on this Kaos .”

"It seems that he plans to stay in Daming for a long time."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Empress Ma and said, "Sister, you don't know about this. Daqin, where Kaos is located, is currently at war with the enemy. Isn't it normal for him to want to stay in Daming?"

"So that's the case, but I think too much."

After hearing this answer, Queen Ma relaxed a little.

For the foreigner Kaos, even though Empress Ma and Lao Zhu treat him with a smile, they still have vigilance in their hearts.

Even because he went to study in Dahontang, even the guards in Dahontang increased a lot.

"It's also a good thing for them to hear more about the outside world. Maybe in the future, my iron cavalry of Ming Dynasty will set foot on the territory of Great Qin."

Old Zhu said with incomparable confidence.

Although Daming still had many foreign aggressions and needed foreign troops almost every year, this did not hinder Zhu Yuanzhang's ambitions.

"Okay, these things are not something that I, a woman, should get involved in, but there is something I want to ask Chongba for your opinion."

Empress Ma changed the subject and said to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Old Zhu frowned slightly, and asked in doubt: "Sister, why are you half-talking, what's the matter?"

Empress Ma gave Zhu Yuanzhang a blank look and said, "Chongba, what did you eat just now?"

"Mooncake, what's the matter, it's quite delicious."

Zhu Yuanzhang picked up another moon cake and dried it in one bite.

The moon cakes made by the imperial dining room are the treasures among the treasures.

On the palate it is delicate and pleasantly aromatic.

Seeing that Lao Zhu didn't react like this, Empress Ma directly pointed out:
"It's the Mid-Autumn Festival soon. What are you going to do with Biao'er and Mu'er? We spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together in previous years."

The Mid-Autumn Festival, on this land of China, has always been a festival of reunion.

Although Lao Zhu's "paid leave" for officials is only three days, the Spring Festival, the winter solstice, and the emperor's birthday.

But when it comes to the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the officials have a family reunion, Lao Zhu will not be too harsh.

It's just that he didn't care about it himself, and somewhat forgot about it.

Hearing Empress Ma's words, Zhu Yuanzhang remembered that the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming soon.

It is a problem that Zhu Biao and Zhu Wei are still with Su Jing.

"Let them come back, it's not enough. How they lived before is how they live now."

Zhu Yuanzhang said naturally.

This is the case with the royal family. Even festivals have their own rules and regulations.

Empress Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, with a hint of anger on her brows: "Chongba, you are really a elm-headed man! Both parents of Mr. Su's family died, and he was unmarried. It was hard to accept two students. Mid-Autumn Festival Are you thinking of taking them away?"

Empress Ma's words also made Zhu Yuanzhang aware of her concerns.

Su Jing!

That's right, Su Jing's parents died in years of war, and there are no siblings in the family, let alone married now.

This Mid-Autumn Festival is a reunion festival for other people, but for Su Jing, it can only be celebrated by one person.

"What do you mean, girl?"

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately asked Empress Ma, he knew that at this time, Empress Ma probably already had an idea.

Empress Ma breathed out lightly and said, "That's right, I think, anyway, the princes have admired Mr. Su for a long time, and it happens that Mr. Su is alone."

"This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, how about our family going to Mr. Su's place together?"

Go to Su Jing's place for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Empress Ma's proposal made Zhu Yuanzhang unexpected.

If this happened, then Su Jing's reputation in the court would probably increase a lot.

The emperor went to the common people's house to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he still took his wife and children with him.

This is definitely a great honor.

Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated, and he didn't answer right away, even though it was Empress Ma's proposal.

Just because he is the emperor, the place to go is Su Jing's home.

These are no ordinary two people.

At that time, Su Jing will inevitably become the attention-grabbing existence.

This is a strong political signal.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was still considering the possible impact of this incident.

"Chongba, I have always believed in Mr. Su's character. We treat him with sincerity, and Mr. Su can also treat us with sincerity."

Empress Ma said from the side.

Of course she knew what Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking about, and she also knew that the reason for believing in character was actually very thin.

What is character?
What is it to believe?
This is nothing for a country.

But Queen Ma still said so.

At this moment, Empress Ma just thought about Su Jing from the standpoint of an ordinary person.

As for whether to agree or not, what are the advantages and disadvantages, that is something that the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang should consider.

After being silent for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang slowly raised his head and said, "Okay, then our family will go to Su Jing's to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Then I'll go get ready. Mr. Su is afraid that the Mid-Autumn Festival is not a normal day, so don't bother him too much."

Empress Ma nodded, with a bit of joy on her face, and said, "By the way, remember to tell Biaoer to notify Mr. Su in advance."

After finishing speaking, Queen Ma turned around and left.

Seeing Empress Ma's happy look, Lao Zhu couldn't help feeling a little better.

Go to Su Jing's place for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

It's a pretty good proposition indeed.

Coincidentally, it can also make those sons who are noisy and want to see Su Jing realize their dreams.

He quickly dealt with the government affairs memorial in his hand, and wrote a letter to Zhu Biao to tell him about the Mid-Autumn Festival. Lao Zhu also got up and left Fengxian Hall.

Of course, he didn't go to rest, but went straight to Daihondo.

At this time in the main hall, the situation is still similar to before.

Kaos was surrounded by a group of princes, but differently, Kaos was the one who asked the question.

"Princes, listen up. My question is this. A dying husband made a will for his pregnant wife. If he gave birth to a son, one of the three estates will go to the wife, and three The second one goes to the son, if the child is a daughter, then the second out of the three inheritance goes to the wife, and the third one goes to the daughter. Finally, the wife gave birth to twins, and the existing inheritance is 3500 copper coins, so how should the money be distributed? More reasonable?"

Kaos slowly spoke his question to the princes in front of him.

It has to be said that Kaos has some skills.

Just went to school with the princes for a few days, and they have already become one.

Not only that, he also discovered that the teaching of the princes of the Ming Dynasty mainly focused on Confucianism education.

In mathematics, very little is taught.

So he would talk about some interesting Roman math problems and share them with the princes.

Because it's not boring reading, the princes' mood is quite high.

What he is talking about now is a question of Roman heritage.

The topic is not complicated, because a topic that is too complicated is too difficult for the princes to understand with their mathematics education level.

But such a simple question made all the princes frown.

"The son and the daughter each share one and two of the three shares, so the mother should not be able to share the money."

The second prince Zhu Xi just thought briefly and said.

Without waiting for Kaos to answer, the sixth prince Zhu Zhen said: "Second brother, how can you not give it to mother, didn't you say you want to share it?"

The third prince Zhu Yan also said: "Second brother, if it is according to what you say, then this mother should share all the money, it must be wrong."

Hearing what the two younger brothers said, Zhu Xi's face was also a little ugly.

But in this regard, he is really not very good at it.

The fourth child, Zhu Di, was the calmest one. His mind was still on marching and fighting.

He hadn't thought about this question at all.

It was the Roman fighting methods that Kaos talked about that attracted him very much.

Especially the Trojan horse scheme, such schemes fascinated him.

Several princes argued, of course, it was mainly the second and third children.

Because now the boss Zhu Biao is not here, and the fifth brother Zhu Xi is not here either.

The sixth Zhu Zhen and the seventh Zhu Yu are both only six years old. This kind of problem can only be said to be fun to listen to, but the real solution cannot be solved.

As for the fourth child, Zhu Di, he was not considered for the time being.

"Third brother, then tell me, how should this property be best distributed?"

Zhu Xing was a little dissatisfied.

Zhu Yan smiled, looked at Kaos and said, "Kaos, I have a distribution plan, listen to it and see if it's right."

Kaos immediately nodded and said, "Third Prince, please tell me."

After going through zakat with these princes, Kaos recognized the intelligence of the third prince the most.

Zhu Wei replied: "The daughter gets 500 guan, the mother gets 1000 guan, and the son gets 3000 guan."

"Compared to a daughter, a mother is two out of three, but compared to a son, she is one out of three."

After listening to Kaos, he immediately said to Zhu Bian: "The third prince is smart, Kaos is ashamed of himself, it is really admirable."

Zhu Xun was a little dissatisfied, but after hearing Zhu Xun's answer, he really couldn't refute anything.

The sixth and seventh looked at the third Zhu Zhu with admiration.

"This question is exquisite, Kaos, you are the best."

Zhu Yan was not complacent, but said this to Kaos.

Kaos shook his head and said, "Third Prince is admirable. This question is just what I heard, and I didn't come up with it. But I have another question, and Third Prince may try to solve it."

"Oh, let's hear it."

Zhu Yan became interested.

He is still very happy with this opportunity to show his wisdom in front of his brothers.

When Kaos was about to speak, Zhu Yuanzhang's hearty voice came:

"Any interesting question, let me listen to it."
