Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 140 Old Zhu's Little Thoughts

"Meet Your Majesty the Emperor!"

"Father!"

With Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance, both Kaos and the other princes saluted him respectfully.

In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang was still the largest.

Of course, for the princes, what they are most afraid of is being tested for their homework.

"Okay, let's be casual, I'm not here to ask you to do anything."

Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly.

Hearing this, the princes were visibly relieved.

Especially Zhu Xi, he was really afraid that he would be beaten again, after all, his behavior just now was a bit stupid.

The third child, Zhu Li, stands calmly, and is much more mature and stable than his second brother.

Zhu Di lowered his head, unable to see the expression on his face clearly.

As for Lao Liu and Lao Qi, there was only restraint on their immature faces.

"Kaos, tell me, what is your new topic?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked impatient, and he also found the question just now very interesting.

When Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth, Kaos immediately said, "I obey the order."

"The title is this: It is said that there was a man called Diophantus, who was given by God to be a child for one-sixth of his life, and after another one-twelfth, a thin beard grew on his cheeks. , and one seventh later, he got married and had a son five years later."

"This child who came late only lived half of his father's life, and the god of fate took him away mercilessly."

"In this way, Diophantus spent the last four years of his life and returned safely."

"Ask, how many years did Diophantus live in total?"

As soon as this topic came up, Lao Zhu was a little confused.

Zhu Yuanzhang has not been in contact with too many descriptions of these fractions, and they do not conform to the general statement of the current Ming Dynasty.

Although he could understand it, he really didn't understand what Kaos said continuously.

As soon as you remember the back, you forget the front.

"What fraction, Kaos, please say it again."

Zhu Yuanzhang had to ask Kaos again.

Upon seeing this, Kaos immediately repeated it again.

Not surprisingly, Zhu Yuanzhang still didn't understand it, mainly because the description was too jerky and he wasn't used to it.

"Father, my son has finished writing."

At this time, Zhu Yan took the paper full of words and handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

When Kaos repeated it just now, he recorded it directly.

"Well, the third one is not bad."

Zhu Yuanzhang took the paper from Zhu Yan's hand and nodded.

Kaos on the side also said to Zhu Bian, "Thank you, Third Prince."

Don't look at Kaos now that Daming's official language is pretty good, and his reading is okay.

But the brush writing was still too difficult for him.

It's not that he doesn't want to write, but that he can't.

"It's just a hands-on effort."

Zhu Bing nodded slightly.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the topic and fell into thinking.

It's a pity that this is obviously a bit beyond the standard for him.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything, he just looked at the third brother Zhu Yan and said, "How about the third brother? Do you know this question?"

Zhu Yuanzhang happened to listen to the question just now, and Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Yuanzhang's performance.

For Zhu Xi, he didn't expect it, Zhu Di, his brain is not in this aspect.

Zhu Yan thought about it for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Father, my son can't think of it for the time being."

"Your Majesty, this question is indeed somewhat difficult. It is normal for His Royal Highness the Third Prince to be unable to solve it."

Kaos explained from the side.

Just now Zhu Bian made a rescue for him, and now he is explaining for Zhu Bing.

Kaos is still very good at life.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, he could see Kaos' thoughts to the end at a glance.

But this doesn't matter to Lao Zhu.

Kaos is just a foreigner, with no power, no power, and no official position.

Even if Zhu Bian made friends with him, that's fine.

"Okay, then tell me, what is the answer to this question?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Kaos.

"Father! Can you allow Erchen to think again."

Zhu Yan interrupted Kaos' thoughts about answering, and cupped his hands towards Zhu Yuanzhang.

At first glance, it seemed that Zhu Yan really couldn't solve this problem, but he still had confidence in his mind.

Spend a little more time and it can always be solved.

"Oh, third child, it seems that you are quite confident."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Bian and said, "Okay, then I will give you a little time. How about it, it's limited to the Mid-Autumn Festival. If you can solve it, I can satisfy your request."

"Thank you, Father."

Zhu Yan immediately thanked Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Father, can sons and ministers also do it?"

Zhu Xing came up, and when he heard the reward, he became interested.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Xi, wanted to refuse, but then looked at the other princes:
"Yes, not only you, as long as it is my son, anyone can solve this problem, and I will satisfy one of your requirements."

The so-called no joke, Zhu Yuanzhang said this in front of all the princes, it is naturally impossible to go back on his word.

As soon as this remark came out, Zhu Xi immediately said: "Thank you, Father."

He even remembered the requests he could make with Zhu Yuanzhang in his mind.

"Thank you, Father."

Zhu Di rarely spoke on his own initiative.

Obviously, this reward also made him act.

As for the sixth Zhu Zhen and the seventh Zhu Yu, these two also imitated their brothers and thanked Zhu Yuanzhang.

Although they knew that this reward had nothing to do with them.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said: "Kaos, you heard it too, before the Mid-Autumn Festival, you must not reveal the answer to any of them."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Kaos immediately promised.

He is very clear that everything he has now and in the future depends on this man in front of him.

His words must be obeyed.

Even if it is Zhu Yan, he will not reveal his answer.

After all, this is only the third prince, the real prince is not here.

Even if he really wants to invest, the third prince Zhu Yan is not the best candidate.

"And you, I don't blame you if you can't solve it, but if someone lets me know what method I want to use, then I will not be soft."

While speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes fell on Zhu Xi and Zhu Di intentionally or unintentionally.

These two are the most likely to go astray.

"Yes, Father!"

All the princes replied loudly.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and said again: "By the way, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. I won't be in the palace this year. Go outside. Remember, you can't reveal your prince's identity outside."

Lao Zhu didn't directly tell his sons to go to Su Jing's, if he did, it would definitely spread quickly.

No need, although I have already decided to go to Su Jing's for the Mid-Autumn Festival, but it's better to wait for a while for things to ferment.

"Really? Father? Go outside to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival this year?"

Zhu Xing was so excited that he almost fainted.

One after another, it made him feel a little unreal.

"Of course it is true, but you have to remember what I said."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

"Father, where have we been?"

The sixth Zhu Zhen asked Zhu Yuanzhang timidly.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him and said with a smile: "We will know this in due time, anyway, it must be more interesting than being in the palace."

The fun at Su Jing's house must be better than the cold palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang is not the kind of emperor who spends most of his life in the palace. He knows what the outside world is like.

"Okay, that's it. You guys study hard for me too. I want to see if any of you can solve Kaos' problem."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, and the princes returned to their seats.

Dahondo is, after all, a place of learning.

However, these princes didn't know that after class, Kaos was summoned by Zhu Yuanzhang alone.

Inside the Hall of Fong Xian.

"Your Majesty, the minister is here."

Kaos said respectfully to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang was not polite, and said directly: "Kaos, what is the answer to that question?"

Ok?
Kaos was taken aback, a little surprised.

This is why Zhu Yuanzhang called himself here?

How could such a dignified emperor do such a thing?
"Kaos, what I'm talking about is the question I mentioned in the main hall just now, which is the question of how old that person named Diophantus lived."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought that Kaos didn't understand, so he explained.

Kaos immediately said: "Your Majesty, if you want to solve this problem, let's set it up."

"Stop, stop, stop, I didn't ask you how to solve it, what I asked was the answer."

Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted Kaos directly and urged.

Lao Zhu didn't care about the process of concluding the question at all.

All he was thinking at the moment was what Su Jing taught his son Zhu Sui about mathematics.

This question can not only be used to test your own son.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Diophantus lived to be 84 years old, gave birth to a son at 42, and died at 80."

Kaos immediately replied.

"Ah."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Okay, I understand, you can go back."

Knowing the answer, Zhu Yuanzhang sent Kaos away directly.

This made Kaos really confused, and he couldn't figure out what Zhu Yuanzhang's purpose was.

But he always kept his identity in mind, and he couldn't talk too much. Whatever Lao Zhu asked him to do, he would do it.

As Kaos left, Zhu Yuanzhang also took out the piece of paper on which Zhu Fen wrote the title, and read it several times.

Lishui County.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, and although the chill is getting stronger, the popularity on this street is obviously much stronger.

The most obvious thing is that there are more small businesses and hawkers, selling all kinds of snacks.

Of course, it must be the one that sells the most moon cakes.

Most of them are handmade and sold by themselves. There are some differences in shape and taste, but the same thing is the condensed deep lovesickness.

At the same time, there are more voices of scholars in Lishui County.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is so pleasant to write poems to the moon.

But in Su Jing's other courtyard, there are none of these.

Su Jing seemed to have forgotten about the Mid-Autumn Festival, but taught Zhu Biao and Zhu Xi as usual every day, and the bustling streets outside had nothing to do with him.

"Master Su, with this lever principle, is it really possible to pry up the entire earth with one person?"

Zhu Biao asked Su Jing.

What Su Jing just said is exactly the classic statement of Archimedes: Give me a fulcrum, and I can pry up the whole earth.

"Theoretically, it is possible, as long as the lever is strong enough, the mass is long enough, and it has a stable and firm fulcrum, even if it is just one person's strength, after being infinitely magnified by the leverage, it is enough to lift the entire earth. "

Su Jing replied very positively.

Anyway, Archimedes said this, whether it can be realized or not is not Su Jing's business.

When teaching, you must answer in the affirmative when it is time to affirm.

Zhu Biao carefully wrote down that although he and Su Jing didn't study physics for a long time, they didn't learn much.

But he deeply felt that physics can be seen everywhere in life.

Some applications of physics actually have specific applications long ago, but the principles are not clear.

"Master Su, this is the result of my observation and statistics. The average, variance, and average difference have all been calculated."

Zhu Wei took a statistical form and handed it to Su Jing.

This is the homework left by Su Jing for Zhu Wei, mainly to observe the data of some plants.

The data itself is not very useful, the purpose is to let Zhu Li get in touch with and learn statistics.

This is a very important tool that must be mastered as soon as possible.

Waiting until next summer will be the day when the pea experiment will officially start.

At that time, there will be a large amount of data that needs to be recorded and analyzed.

Boom~~~~~Boom~~~~~
The door suddenly rang.

"coming."

Zhu Biao yelled and came directly to the door.

There were more than a dozen people standing outside the door, and Zhu Biao recognized them at a glance. These were all shopkeepers under Su Jing.

Sun Ping stood at the front, holding a small gift box in his hand: "Young Master Niu, if you want to interrupt, we are here to give the master a Mid-Autumn Festival gift."

"Come in quickly."

Zhu Biao immediately opened the door and let the shopkeepers walk in.

"Why are you here?"

Seeing these people, Su Jing said with a flat face: "I remember I said that there is no need to give gifts during the New Year and holidays, and there is no shortage of things in my house."

Sun Ping put down the gift in his hand, and said with an apologetic smile: "Boss, we all know, so this is not coming here before the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Do you not do it if the boss refuses to do it?
Obviously, these shopkeepers are very clear about this matter, and those who can become shopkeepers still understand this bit of sophistication.

"Okay, put things down."

Su Jing didn't criticize anything harshly, it's not easy to scold them for this kind of thing, it's out of good intentions anyway.

"Niu Yi, make a cup of tea for each of them."

Su Jing said to Zhu Biao again.

"Okay, Master Su."

Zhu Biao ran back to the house immediately, and soon brought out more than a dozen cups of tea.

"Master Niu, let's do it ourselves."

The shopkeepers didn't dare to ask Zhu Biao to deliver it in person, and took the initiative to receive it one by one.

"Leave after drinking, I won't leave you to eat."

Su Jing said lightly.

"Thank you, my boss!"

The shopkeepers replied in unison, without any sign of loss.

Being able to drink a cup of tea with Su Jing already made them very happy.

Soon, more than a dozen shopkeepers left one by one without staying. Their goal has been achieved, and Su Jing's home also has a lot of gifts.

"Take these in."

Su Jing looked at the gifts all over the place, shook her head slightly and said, "It's Mid-Autumn Festival again, let's reunite."

"Yes, Master Su."

Zhu Biao and Zhu Huan separated several times and took all these gifts in.

After finishing all this, Su Jing said to the two of them: "Niu Yi and Niu Su, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, you should go home when the time comes."

I am alone, and I can't let the two students also consume me here.
