Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

The old man said: "It's all a method they came up with to torture people. 'Tired to death' means that they colluded with the people in the government, borrowed a hundred catties of heavy shackles from the government, and gave them to those who couldn't pay the rent. Put it under the sun, the shackle is very heavy, and the cow will be exhausted even if it is on the belt."

"Bocceball is a bit more troublesome. They have a kind of big basket with buttons on the mouth of the big basket. The two baskets are put together mouth to mouth. When the mouth is closed, the two baskets are connected together. They put people in, and then put When the mouth of the basket was closed, people couldn’t get out of it, and then they put the basket on the ground and kicked it with their feet, and the basket rolled on the ground like a ball.”

Lin Yuan echoed: "It seems that they are really nothing." Then he asked: "Then why is their salary higher than yours? And it's ten times higher?"

The old man smiled ashamedly and said: "To be honest, among us, only the people from the Rent Collection Bureau know how to measure and liquidate the land. Some of us are carpenters, some are blacksmiths, and some work in dyeing workshops. It’s just to help others.”

Yang Xiaolin asked from the side: "Is it difficult to liquidate the land? What do you not understand?"

The old man smiled helplessly, and said, "Anyway, we haven't done it, and everything is what people from the Rent Collection Bureau said."

Lin Yuan said: "Land liquidation was carried out in the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty carried out land liquidation nationwide. Since it is nationwide, it will take a lot of people. If the liquidation method is difficult, then master There are fewer people, so it is not difficult to clear the land, and I know a way."

The old man smiled and asked, "Did you mean the method of 'measure the four sides and take half of the opposite side'?"

Lin Yuan asked: "What is 'measure the four sides, take half of the opposite side'?"

The old man smiled and said: "It's the original method of measuring land. Our county once had a liquidation. At that time, the people who liquidated it used something called a 'bow', which is also used by the Rent Collection Bureau. This thing is very similar. The compasses we use as carpenters have two open feet. When measuring, we turn once and turn once. Turning once is one step. We walk around a piece of land. After walking, we measure how many steps there are on each side of the piece of land. come out."

Lin Yuan nodded and asked with a smile, "What does that have to do with 'half from the opposite side'?"

The old man smiled and said: "Don't worry, let me speak slowly." The old man picked up the chopsticks, dipped some water, and drew a quadrilateral on the table. The four sides are not equal. It is the shape of the land, most of the land is not square, but all four sides are unequal, which is called 'four unequal fields', do you know how to find out how many acres this land has?"

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Isn't this just a problem of finding the area of ​​a scalene quadrilateral? But it is impossible to find the area by knowing only the four sides, because the area is not unique, and one more angle must be known. Cut this quadrilateral into two triangles, and use a few formulas of trigonometric functions to solve the area of ​​this quadrilateral." However, Lin Yuan did not say this method, but looked at the old man and asked, "How to solve it?"

The old man said: "At that time, the method of liquidation was: there are two sets of opposite sides of the four sides, add the lengths of the opposite sides together, and then take half to get two numbers, and then multiply these two numbers together, this is the land. I laughed out loud, but the people from the Rent Collection Bureau said that this method would not work, and the calculated size would be larger than the actual size, and they have a better method!"

Lin Yuan asked: "Then what is their solution?"

The old man replied: "They don't want to talk about it! There are also mysterious tools, but the adults seem to believe in their methods, so we follow them, and we don't say much. The carpenter is not doing well in the recent war." If you do it, it would be nice to have a salary of five yuan."

Lin Yuan asked: "What is the mysterious tool?"

The old man said: "It is said that we can accurately measure the size of the land, but we don't know."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "So that's the case."

Hearing Lin Yuan's words, the old man smiled and said, "If there is nothing else, I'll leave first." Lin Yuan said a few words politely, and the old man got up to leave. Are these people from the Rent Collection Bureau assholes?"

Yang Xiaolin said: "If what the old man said is true, this group of people is indeed nothing!"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "That old man doesn't need to lie to us, so his words should not be false, let's go teach them some lessons!"

Yang Xiaolin's eyes lit up when he heard this, he nodded and said, "Okay!"

Lin Yuan stood up, threw the tea money on the table, and said to Yang Xiaolin, "Let's go!" Then he took Yang Xiaolin to the window. As soon as Lin Yuan came to the window, the salaryman inside turned his head He asked without hesitation, "What's your name?"

Lin Yuan said: "Lin Yuan!"

The people inside laughed and said, "It's actually the same name as Lin Shuai!" Then he picked up the account book at hand and looked through it, and said, "There is no such person! This is where the gentlemen of the Rent Collection Bureau receive their salaries. Are you Shouldn't you be going there?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Give me all the salaries of the rent collectors, they are trash anyway."

The man inside frowned, and said in surprise: "What are you doing? How dare you come here to act wildly! Go out and have a look, the governor's yamen is right next to you! Hurry up, and watch out for the arresters!"

Lin Yuan chuckled and said, "How can I be afraid of the police! Give me the money quickly, or I will go in and rob it!"

The man inside stood up as soon as he heard it, and said in a panic: "This is in broad daylight, do you want to rob?"

Lin Yuan smiled lightly and said, "It's not robbery, it's because I can't see the money being wasted by those trash!"

At this time, the group of people on the side also noticed Lin Yuan. They dared not speak out against the rent urging bureau. Now that they saw Lin Yuan trying to grab the money from the rent urging bureau, they were all secretly happy and smiled. Watch the fun.

The man inside turned his head and shouted, "Come here, hurry up, someone wants to steal money!"

Lin Yuan smiled when he heard the man's panicked voice, then turned to Yang Xiaolin and said, "Let's go in and get it by ourselves."

The inside and outside of the window are separated by wooden partitions. The wood is carved into small grids. Yang Xiaolin nodded at Lin Yuan, punched out, and hit the wooden grids hard. It shattered immediately after the punch, and a big hole appeared in the wooden partition!

Seeing this, everyone around cheered. Yang Xiaolin grabbed the wooden partition with both hands and shook it violently, only to hear a "click", and the wooden partition was forcibly pulled down from above!The crowd applauded again, Yang Xiaolin leaped onto the high platform and entered inside!

Seeing that Yang Xiaolin pulled down the wooden partition and jumped in, the people inside were so frightened that they ran away screaming "Wow", Yang Xiaolin reached out and grabbed a stack of envelopes, and said to Lin Yuan: "Look, there's a lot of money here! "

Lin Yuan reached out to take an envelope, and poured the money inside into his hand. All that was exposed were one-yuan "big bills". There were fifty bills in one envelope. No wonder the envelope was so full!Lin Yuan took the banknotes in his hands, threw them over the crowd, and said with a smile, "Everyone, take it! Stealing from the rich and giving to the poor!"
