Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 146 At least the top three
As soon as Su Jing said this, everyone in the courtyard was stunned.

Because everyone except Su Jing and Zhu Wei knew that this question was exactly the one Kaos asked.

That's a question that these princes have been thinking about and asking the teacher for advice, but they can't solve it.

If Su Jing can solve it, they can understand it.

But this made the old fifth Zhu Jian half a stick of incense to untie it, isn't it a bit too exaggerated.

It is simply too difficult for a strong man.

Zhu Wei didn't know what his brother and father were thinking, so he picked up the paper and glanced at it, then nodded and said: "Yes, Master Su."

Zhu Wei agreed so calmly.

This.
Not only Zhu Xi and the others, Zhu Yuanzhang also stared at Zhu Xi with wide-eyed eyes.

Can my son Lao Wu really solve it?

Zhu Wei returned to the house, took out a pen and paper, and directly calculated on the stone table in front of everyone.

It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang and others couldn't understand those Arabic numerals.

They could only see Zhu Wei's "ghost drawing talisman" for a while, and the half-burning incense must have not arrived, so Zhu Wei raised his head and said:
"Master Su, I have calculated that Diophantus' lifespan is 84 years old."

For Zhu Wei, this is just an extremely simple one-dimensional equation.

It's just that when describing the topic, it is not a very direct description, and the conditions need to be extracted.

For Zhu Wei, who has experienced Su Jing's mathematics teaching, this kind of problem can only be solved by writing an equation.

The difficulty of the questions that Zhu Huan usually practiced is roughly the same as this.

And as Zhu Xi gave the answer, Zhu Xi and the others immediately looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.

This question was posed by Kaos, but they knew that their father Zhu Yuanzhang must know the answer now, otherwise he would not have brought it up here.

All the previous shocks need Zhu Yuanzhang's answer to be revealed at this moment to be implemented.

Zhu Wei's calmness, is he pretending, or is he really so powerful.

The questions that have been difficult for them for several days, just draw a bunch of incomprehensible symbols in front of their eyes, that is, the effort of drinking a cup of tea, and they are solved.

The eyes of the crowd were fixed on Zhu Yuanzhang.

Su Jing was indifferent, but Zhu Wei was a little puzzled.

I just solved such a simple problem, why is everyone like this?
He really didn't realize that not everyone had accepted Su Jing's teachings like him.

"Master Su, did the student explain it wrong?"

Zhu Wei asked Su Jing with some doubts.

Su Jing shook her head and said: "No, it's just your father, I don't really dare to believe it."

Zhu Huan turned his head to look at Zhu Yuanzhang, and said doubtfully, "Father, this question is not too difficult, and the child should not be able to do it wrong."

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to say something to Zhu Wei, but hesitated for a while, and still didn't say anything, but turned directly to Su Jing and said:
"Su Jing, have you never seen this question before?"

He still didn't believe it, this was Kaos' question.

Lao Zhu could ask the school officials of Daben Hall specifically, and asked them to answer them carefully.

"Uncle, I'm not talking about you. There's really no difference between seeing this simple question and not seeing it. If you don't believe me, you can ask Niu Su to take a look at the question I gave him before, and you will know."

Su Jing shrugged, only thinking that the matter was really funny.

This question is really not difficult.

Even if you don't learn linear equations in one unknown, you can solve them just by using "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic".

Although one looks at this question and knows that it must be written by a foreigner, the wisdom of our ancient Chinese is not inferior to them.

At least before the Ming Dynasty, it was an absolute leading position.

Looking at Su Jing's expression, Zhu Yuanzhang probably understood that Su Jing was not lying, because it was completely unnecessary.

Besides, it wasn't Su Jing who untied it, but his son, the fifth Zhu Huan.

He just can't understand it.

In fact, it was Zhu Yuanzhang's own thinking that was wrong.

Those academic officials in Dahontang are all proficient in Confucianism.

This arithmetic, in Daming, is just a low-level elementary knowledge, and the princes don't need to study much on weekdays.

Asking them is naturally extremely difficult to answer.

In fact, if Lao Zhu took this question to the household department and asked a few small officials, he could figure it out in minutes based on the numbers and calculations they were in contact with on a daily basis.

This wave, it is purely that Lao Zhu got the wrong direction.

Of course, among the teachers of the previous princes, there was another person who was proficient in arithmetic, and that was Liu Bowen.

But now, Liu Bowen is half under house arrest.

It can only be said that there are some yin and yang mistakes.

"Fifth brother, do you really know it?"

The second child Zhu Xun looked at Zhu Xun as if he was looking at a monster.

"Second brother was joking, it's all taught by Teacher Su."

Zhu Wei immediately replied.

The third child, Zhu Wei, looked at the problem-solving steps written by Zhu Wei, so he was a little unclear, so he asked, "Fifth brother, what do these characters mean?"

Zhu Fen immediately explained to Zhu Fen that it meant Arabic numerals and some addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

After a short explanation, Zhu Yan understood the meaning of these formulas.

Looking again, his eyes were full of light: "Fifth brother, I understand, that's how it is, this question can be answered in this way, it's amazing!"

His brain works well by itself, and he is willing to move.

This question itself is not complicated, as long as the thinking is right, it is not difficult.

And Zhu Yan actually figured out the answer a long time ago, but his method is just a little example.

It is to make an assumption about the age of Diophantus, starting from the age of 60, and verify it slowly.

But he himself is not satisfied with this calculation method, thinking that this is not considered a solution.

However, with the idea of ​​this hypothesis, it is not so difficult to understand the linear equation in one variable.

"Third Brother, Master Su taught me these things."

Zhu Wei replied seriously.

Now he also realized that the topic that seemed simple to him was not simple to others.

This made him understand even more how happy it is to be able to study by Su Jing's side.

The fourth Zhu Di watched and listened silently, his eyes never moved away from Su Jing.

"I lost."

Zhu Yuanzhang took the initiative to admit defeat: "If you have any request, you can just ask Su Jing, and I can do it."

He is not someone who can't afford to lose, and the emperor has no jokes.

Hearing this, Su Jing just smiled and said, "Uncle, I didn't do this question. If that's the case, then you should agree to Niu Su's request."

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little surprised. He wanted to tell Su Jing that his promise was extremely precious.

This is not an opportunity for everyone.

It can be said that Daming, as long as he mentions it to Zhu Yuanzhang, he can do it if he can do it.

But before he said it, Zhu Huan had already said: "Mr. Su, this is absolutely impossible. The students can solve this problem, all rely on Mr. Su's teaching, the promise of the father, the students dare not accept it."

Even though Zhu Huan is young, he is very clear about the weight of Zhu Yuanzhang's promise.

For Su Jing, it is definitely better than myself.

"Niu Su, what I taught you is correct, but you also learned it."

Su Jing touched Zhu Wei's head and said with a smile: "Besides, I don't lack anything, so you can accept it with peace of mind."

He really doesn't care.

At this moment, Zhu Wei was a little anxious, and he even wanted to tell Su Shi the real identity of Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Su Jing, do you really not regret it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Su Jing at this moment and said.

Su Jing said: "Uncle, you are underestimating me. I know that you have an unusual status, but if I, Su Jing, want something, I will naturally fight for it by myself."

"I don't eat the food that comes from you."

Even if he didn't know Zhu Yuanzhang's real identity, Su Jing knew that this promise was very precious.

But as he said, he disdains the food that comes when it comes.

"it is good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "Su Jing, that's a good point. I like to hear that. If you want something, you have to fight for it yourself."

Zhu Yuanzhang, who had just conquered the world, quite agreed with this point.

"Old Five, if you have any request, you can say it now."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Huan again and said.

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Xi and the others became envious.

They tried their best to solve the problem before, just for Zhu Yuanzhang to agree to a request, and now they are directly obtained by the fifth brother Zhu Huan.

But it's just envy, because Zhu Wei did it in front of them, relying on hard power.

Zhu Wei thought for a while and said, "Father, can I save it temporarily? I'll mention it when I think about what I want."

saved.

Zhu Yuanzhang was quite surprised to hear this answer.

But if you think about it carefully, this is the most efficient use of Zhu Yuanzhang's promise.

As long as it is not used, it will always be there.

How should I put it, although Zhu Wei did not learn to do business with Su Jing, he still learned a lot under the influence of his ears and eyes.

"Okay, just do as you say."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, he was very satisfied with Zhu Huan's performance just now.

"Thank you father."

Zhu Huan immediately saluted and thanked Zhu Yuanzhang.

The bet was lost, and Zhu Yuanzhang was in a bit of trouble. He agreed to Xu Da and Chang Yuchun's affairs, so how should he complete it now?
At the beginning, I thought I could stump Su Jing, but Su Jing didn't make a move at all.

Sure enough, even Kaos from Daqin was far inferior to Su Jing.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang lost the bet at this time, he didn't feel too disappointed.

"Uncle, why, are you still thinking about the telescope?"

Su Jing looked at Lao Zhu and smiled.

The other party did not hesitate to use such a method, and wanted the telescope made by himself.

I can't get it now, and I must still be thinking about it in my heart.

"Yeah, your telescope is better than the boss's, but unfortunately I lost."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and admitted directly.

Su Jing smiled and said: "Why do you have to go around so many detours for such a small matter, just tell me not to do it, how do you know that I don't want to do it?"

"Ok?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback for a moment, and then said pleasantly, "Why, are you willing to do it?"

Su Jing smiled and said: "What's the point, it's just a few telescopes, it's just a waste of time, the most important thing I lack is time."

So simple that Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't believe it.

He looked at Su Jing suspiciously and said, "Why did you agree so readily?"

Still suspicious, this is the habitual thinking after becoming the emperor.

Su Jing looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Because I can probably guess why you want the telescope. Since my things can help the soldiers on the front line of the Ming Dynasty, then I just spend some time, so why not?"

"Without them defending our home and country, I would not be able to live in peace and stability here. We can be safe and sound because they are carrying the burden forward."

Su Jing has always had a high respect for the soldiers who defended the country.

It was like this in the previous life, and it is also like this in this life.

Hearing Su Jing's words, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes on Su Jing changed obviously.

Without soldiers to defend the country, there will be no stability in the rear.

These words almost reached Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

There are many things to consider in ruling a territory as large as Ming Dynasty, including internal and external troubles.

In matters of people's livelihood and military affairs, there are always people who have different ideas.

Zhu Yuanzhang has always insisted on using troops abroad, but this has also increased the burden on the country, and the burden on the country is also the burden on the people.

Now Su Jing's words hit his heart right away.

The current battle of Ming Dynasty is to defend the family and the country!

Without the bloody battles of the frontline soldiers, how can there be a stable life for the people in the rear.

"Su Jing, what you said is very good. The soldiers on the front line are carrying forward with heavy burdens. I would like to express my gratitude to you on their behalf."

Zhu Yuanzhang said very solemnly.

This is his sincere thanks. In Su Jing's words, he felt the righteousness of his family and country.

In the depths of Lao Zhu's heart, his doubts and fears about Su Jing were also reduced a bit.

Su Jing's awareness is high enough!
"Thank you for what?"

Empress Ma and Zhu Biao finished washing the dishes, and walked towards this side with a smile.

"It's nothing, I just chatted with the uncle casually."

Su Jing replied with a smile.

Zhu Yuanzhang also nodded.

"Mr. Su, I seem to have heard that you guys are doing quizzes here, what's going on, it seems quite lively."

Queen Ma asked again.

"Mother, this is how it happened."

At this time, Zhu Xi also ran out to brush his face, and briefly described the situation at that time.

After hearing this, Queen Ma was also quite surprised.

"Fifth, it seems that you and Mr. Su have learned very well."

Empress Ma looked at Zhu Huan and said.

Zhu Huan immediately said: "It's all taught by Mr. Su."

Empress Ma nodded, and said to Su Jing: "Mr. Su taught the two of them, it's really hard work."

"Okay, thank you for coming and going, let's chat."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hands.

Not in the palace anymore, Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't like these superficial etiquette.

Su Jing also quite agreed: "Well, uncle, you are right, it would be great to chat."

He also doesn't like empty etiquette, why don't we get along as friends?
"Okay, I'm a woman, I don't understand."

Empress Ma smiled and sat down beside her.

In the small courtyard at this time, there is a harmonious scene.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Su Jing, look at this prosperous Ming Dynasty, how do you think it is today?"

When chatting, you always talk about yourself.

Everyone likes to boast, and Zhu Yuanzhang is no exception.

Su Jing smiled and said: "Naturally, he is a great talent. Even among the many emperors in history, he must be at least among the top three."

Top three?

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's face froze.

He himself thinks he is No.1, why is he only in the top three?
Empress Ma who was on the side heard Su Jing's words and asked curiously, "Then who is the number one in Mr. Su's mouth?"
