Emperor Xiaoyao of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 87
"I'm taught, thank you for reminding me, Your Highness." Jin Yu more or less knew that the feudal society generally didn't like merchants. The main manifestation was that he was not even qualified to wear fancy clothes, and his status was lower than that of peasants. Of course, food must be better. .Originally, Jin Yu was hesitant, because he was short of manpower, and planned to start a business by himself, but Li Chengqian reminded him that it seemed that this road would not work, and it would be better to find an agent to manage it.

Li Chengqian does not show favor with others easily. Seeing Jin Yu accepting it humbly, he secretly praised him as a compliment. Because he saved his own sister, Li Chengqian did not put on airs as a prince, and said kindly: "I have long heard that the Tang chef The art is very good, how about I borrow flowers to present Buddha and ask Gui Tang to cook this hare?"

"Your Highness won the award. It is an honor to return to Tang to be able to cook delicious food for Your Highness." Jin Yu has been busy recently and hasn't tasted game for some days, so he readily accepted Li Chengqian's proposal.This time the lion can also improve his appetite by the way, so the lion is sensible and not picky eaters, and he had already protested with Jinyu on hunger strike before.

"How is the third brother's studies recently?" After Jin Yu entered the kitchen with the hare, Li Ke didn't speak. Instead, Li Chengqian asked first after eating a few mouthfuls of shaved ice.

"I've been watching Cheng Huaimo's new mathematics for a while, and it's a bit difficult to understand." Li Ke sat upright, with his head slightly lowered, with a respectful expression, and shook his head slightly when he spoke, indicating that he didn't learn very well.As a prince, he still has his own pride, so he didn't bow down like the lower officials.

"Cheng Huaimo? But Lu Guogong's eldest son?" Li Chengqian really didn't have much contact with these meritorious children, and his impression of Cheng Huaimo was a little vague.

"Exactly." Li Ke nodded and admitted.

Now Li Chengqian was really surprised, and asked: "Cheng Huaimo created a new type of arithmetic?"

"Guitang taught it to Huaimo." Li Ke quickly clarified: "A few days ago, Huaimo asked his younger brother to help him, and it happened that the younger brother also knew that Guitang taught him some arithmetic, so he had the audacity to ask for the notes. .”

"Gu really didn't expect Gui Tang to have such a skill." This was beyond Li Chengqian's expectation, Li Chengqian thought in his heart: This kid knows too much, right?Let the third brother have the cheek to borrow notes to learn by himself, it seems that this kind of arithmetic is really extraordinary, and I must be betting on the right treasure this time.

"It's not an exaggeration to say that this calculation is like a god. My younger brother was lucky enough to see Gui Tang do the calculation once. He can do it easily and effortlessly. It is no worse than the professor of the Imperial College, or even better." Li Ke at this time. The mentality is exactly the same as Cheng Huaimo's introduction to himself about the magic of mathematics taught by Jin Yu.The person in front of him is the future emperor, who can make Li Chengqian value Jin Yu, and make Jin Yu hug this thick thigh tightly, even if there are some dark hairs, it doesn't matter, after all, it will be of great benefit to Jin Yu.Li Ke already knew Yang Ying's identity at this time, if he didn't take the opportunity to pull Jinyu, who else could he pull?

"Oh? Third brother, let's talk about it." Li Chengqian was curious about Jin Yu, Li Ke could take the initiative to introduce Jin Yu's magic, of course Li Chengqian would not refuse.

"Then my younger brother will make a fool of himself." Li Ke recalled the content of his notes, and aroused Li Chengqian's interest with the problems of meeting on the march and distribution of military rations, and poured out what he knew in simple terms to Li Chengqian.It can be said that Li Ke spared no effort to help Jin Yu secretly this time.

Jin Yu stuffed a piece of rabbit meat with his own hands, and the internal organs were given to the lion as a matter of course. The lion ate it very happily. To describe it in one word, it is gobbled it up. Jin Yu felt a little sad to see it.I haven’t been able to take a lion to go hunting in this period of time. I said that in my previous life, the place was small and there were few prey. Now there is no wild animal protection law. The wild animals in the mountains and plains can not only have game to eat, but also let the lion exercise. Jin Yu doesn't want to make a lion a degenerate pet, and there is still some wildness that should be there.

Jin Yu patted the lion's head guiltily, and softly promised to take it out hunting in a few days.Of course the smart lion understood. He just ate the internal organs of the hare. The sensible lion didn't lick Jinyu with his tongue, but just rubbed Jinyu's knee vigorously with his huge head.

Unable to pull the hook, unable to clap hands, Jin Yu lowered his head and had a head-to-head meeting with the lion dotingly.

Jin Yu played with the lion for a while, and then stood up after guessing that the rabbit was almost done. He went into the kitchen and explained to Xueniang, and went to the backyard to find the two little brothers in peace.Under Jin Yu's guidance, Xueniang has made great progress in cooking.Datang's first high-standard chef training class was basically taught by Xueniang, and Jinyu only showed up occasionally.In fact, Jinyu does not have the conditions to teach comprehensively. Many dishes are not yet on the market, and the variety is not as rich as later generations, especially the lack of peppers, so some Sichuan dishes are still not available.

Calculations are indispensable for learning arithmetic, because there is no one to greet them in the backyard, and the younger brothers have no pens and paper in their hands. At the end of the talk, Li Ke simply found a wooden stick and squatted on the ground to draw it. Jinyu’s backyard is not short of wooden sticks , because Jin Yu often used a chopping knife to cut some small wooden sticks for making candles when he was free.

When Jin Yu came in, it happened to be the time when the two brothers were in high spirits. The two younger brothers squatted on the ground, one scratching and pulling, the other listening quietly, pointing their fingers from time to time and asking their own questions.

"The king of Shu is very interested, squatting down to paint?" Because Li Ke's back was facing Jin Yu, Jin Yu couldn't see what he was doing, and Jin Yu thought Li Ke was painting something.

"It's just right that Gui Tang is here! I just don't know how to ask this question. Gui Tang will figure it out." Li Ke wiped the sweat from his forehead as if seeing a savior, and gave up his seat.

"Is this ``` arithmetic?" Jin Yu heard what Li Ke said, and took a closer look. The crooked numbers, it seems that Li Ke stole it?
Li Ke was a little ashamed, and explained the cause and effect to Jin Yu, emphasizing again and again that he forced Cheng Huaimo, for fear that Jin Yu would pursue Cheng Huaimo's private teaching. After all, it is not a glorious thing to learn or teach secretly these days.

Regarding Li Ke's knowledge of mathematics and Fang Xuanling's visit later, Jin Yu knew that the mathematics would not be hidden for long, and Cheng Huaimo had no malice, so of course Jin Yu would not pursue anything.Since Fang Xuanling came here on behalf of Li Er, it meant that Li Er still attached great importance to this, and it was not a bad thing for Jin Yu, so Jin Yu felt less uneasy at the beginning.

Seeing that the two had spoken clearly and reached a memorandum of understanding, Li Chengqian took the opportunity to repeat his question again. He really wanted to see how miraculous this Jin Gui Tang was.

The question raised by Li Chengqian can be regarded as an application problem of linear equations in two variables. Jin Yu has a lot of things recently, and he has stopped teaching Cheng Huaimo for several days. Of course Ke, a scholar who steals, won't.

After Jin Yu listened to the question, he listed two formulas, and solved it after three times, five divisions, and two, but the younger brothers didn't understand the two formulas.Jin Yu had to spend a lot of time talking, looking at the young brothers who were still ignorant, he said helplessly: "This arithmetic is about a step-by-step process. If you don't understand the basics in front, you will not understand what follows."

After Jin Yu gave the answer, Li Chengqian calculated it, and it turned out to be correct, which was indeed a bit miraculous for him.After listening to Jin Yu's speech, he nodded and said, "It's Gu who came in rashly. But Gu still hopes to have the opportunity to discuss arithmetic with Gui Tang."

Li Chengqian blushed a little after speaking, what do you mean by discussing mathematics?I don't know it at all, I want to learn, but I can't shame myself to ask for a teacher, after all, Jin Yu is too young, let Li Chengqian call him a teacher, Li Chengqian, as the dignified crown prince, really can't do it.

"It's easy to talk, easy to talk, Gui Tang must know everything and talk endlessly." Looking at the blushing little boy in front of him, Jin Yu didn't intend to argue with him at all, but gave Li Chengqian a step down.

Seeing Jin Yu being so upbeat, Li Chengqian felt that he had seen the right person, and that the overtures just now were not in vain. He praised Jin Yu, and stated the real purpose of his trip straightforwardly: "Guitang is really a good man. Cool guy! I came here today, and I want to ask Gui Tang for confirmation, and I hope Gui Tang will cooperate."

"Please speak, Your Highness." Jin Yu gestured for the two princes to sit down and talk.

"A few days ago, someone sent a piece of paper to Gu. The characters on it really puzzled Gu. Can Gui Tang explain to Gu?" After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he handed the copy of the pinyin attached to the anonymous report letter to Jin Yu. .

Jin Yu took it over, glanced at it, and said with a smile: "No wonder I couldn't find it. It turned out to be picked up. This is a prescription. The characters on it are called pinyin, and a group of three or five is a word." Zhiyin." Jin Yu pointed to the pinyin on it, and continued: "For example, this spells out to be wild chrysanthemum, and this spells out to be rhubarb. At the beginning, it was specially written like this because it was afraid that others would know the compatibility of the medicine. "

"So that's how it is." Hearing what Jin Yu said, Li Chengqian didn't realize the meaning of the pinyin, but only verified his guess that he didn't believe that he would cooperate with Qin Cheng to rebel.Feeling more relieved at the moment, he said, "I'm afraid Gui Tang is also wondering why this thing is in Gu's hands, right?"

"Please make it clear, Your Highness." Of course, Jin Yu didn't believe that Li Chengqian came to him just for a piece of paper full of pinyin, and there must be something inside that he didn't know.

"To be honest, some people told Gu that this was a secret letter for Gui Tang's rebellion." Li Chengqian mocked, pointing at the piece of paper.

"How is it possible? How could Guitang rebel?" When Li Ke heard this, his reaction was greater than that of Jin Yu, and he stood up excitedly to fight for Jin Yu's injustice.

Li Ke reacted so strongly, but Jin Yu was embarrassed to do any more radical actions, and said with self-deprecation: "This person really thinks highly of Jin, but Jin can't bear the crime. I wonder if Jin can sue this person The crime of false accusation?"

Li Chengqian raised his hand to signal his third brother to sit down, continued to show his affection to Jin Yu, and said solemnly: "Gu does not believe that Gui Tang rebelled, and Gu will give Gui Tang an explanation for this matter, and please Gui Tang trust Gu. "

"Okay, then please trouble Your Highness." Jin Yuqing is self-clearing, and he is not afraid of false accusations from others at all, but he is a little annoyed.The world is so big, how can you not have your own shelter?Going to a foreign country, maybe you can really plot a rebellion and make a king for fun.

But when Li Chengqian's words reached Li Ke's ears, it was different. Li Chengqian was making a big deal to ensure that Jin Yu was fine. This promise was strong enough. It seems that this thigh was even hugged?
"Haha, it's good for Guitang to believe in Gu." Li Chengqian understood the situation and said, "Gu's stomach is hungry, Guitang is almost ready, right? The third brother mentioned soju can't be missed."

"It's already been prepared, and your highnesses are welcome to move." The Chinese wine table culture has a long history, and Jin Yu stepped aside for fear of not drinking or wanting to drink.
