I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 892
"I don't know if you have heard of it. During the Three Kingdoms period, there was a famous story about Cao Chong calling an elephant!"

This kind of folk story with very educational significance was actually very widely circulated in the Ming Dynasty.

It can almost be said that it is well-known and well-known to everyone.

On the contrary, Zhu Zhanji, who was born in the palace and was born as the grandson of the emperor, was a little confused.

"Cao Chong is indeed known to me. He is the youngest son of Cao Cao. He is said to be very intelligent. However, he may be jealous of talents and died of illness before he was ten years old!
When did he have a story of his likeness, handed down? "

Yang Suwen shook his head and smiled,

"His Royal Highness, don't worry about it. You have been taught by the world's famous masters since you were young. What you have learned is the way of the emperor and the strategy of war. It is not surprising that you don't know these little stories compiled by the people!"

As he spoke, he looked up at Chen Hong and Yue Feng, meaning, if you know, please tell His Highness the Crown Prince.

Chen Hong shook his head straight, asking him to fight, slash and drink, he is fine at all, but if asked to tell stories, he is really not good at it.

It was even worse for Yue Feng, among these few people, he was the one who read the least. Although he had heard this story before, it would be too bad for him to tell it perfectly.

Seeing that they were all shaking their heads, Yang Suwen had no choice but to tell them.

"It is said that during the period of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao controlled the state affairs of the Han Dynasty and became the real ruler of the Han Dynasty.

At that time, foreign missions visited Dahan. They knew that Cao Cao was the one who had lost the game in this country. In order to please him, they gave him many rare treasures as gifts for the audience.

Among them is an elephant that is one foot tall and weighs more than ten thousand catties. "

"At that time, Cao Cao's youngest son liked it very much, it was a huge beast that was rarely seen in the north.

Cao Cao doted on the youngest son very much, so he took him to watch it himself!

After seeing the elephant as majestic as a city wall, Cao Chong bluntly said that he was both surprised and delighted, very happy.

He asked Cao Cao, "This elephant is so tall and majestic, I don't know how heavy it is." "

"In order to satisfy his son, Cao Cao immediately asked the people around him to find a way to weigh the elephant!

But there is no scale in the world that can support an elephant. It is really a problem to get a number to cut. "

Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji also fell into silence.

Even if this question is posed to him now, he is actually a good solution.

he asked hastily,

"How did they do it in the end? Even Ben Gong can't think of a suitable solution for a while. Could it be that Cao Chong really figured out a way at a young age!"

Yang Suwen smiled slightly,
"Your Highness, don't worry, you will understand when I finish speaking."

"At that time, Cao Cao ordered them to find a way to call the elephant, and those officials dared not obey, and they all started to speak out.

Some people say that if an elephant is killed and divided into pieces, it can be weighed.

Some people also say that it is enough to build a huge scale.

But whether it is killing an elephant or building a steelyard, it is not advisable.

Cao Cao was very angry at that time and reprimanded them as incompetent people. "

"Seeing his father getting angry, Cao Chong suddenly came up with a good solution. He didn't need to slaughter the elephant, and he didn't need to waste time and effort to build a steelyard!"

Finally it was the protagonist's turn to play, and Zhu Zhanji's heart was full, looking forward to staring at Yang Suwen with bright eyes, urging him to speak quickly.

Yang Suwen didn't gossip anymore, and said directly,
"At that time, Cao Chong led the people to the river, and asked people to prepare a big boat.

Then he ordered people to drive the elephant to the boat. After the boat stabilized, he ordered people to draw a line on the edge of the boat at the same level as the water surface.

Then drive the elephants off the boat..."

Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji's head flashed, and he finally understood what the solution was.

He couldn't help shouting,
"Miao, it's really wonderful, not to mention whether this incident happened to that well-known little genius back then.

The person who really came up with this method is definitely an amazing talent. "

Yang Suwen was not very angry when someone interrupted his words suddenly. In fact, his goal had already been achieved. Whether he finished telling the story was not a big deal to him.

But at this time Yue Feng asked curiously,
"Cao Chong claimed that the elephant used ten sundries to replace the weight of the elephant to measure the weight of the elephant, but what does this story have to do with what we are going to do next?"

Others also looked forward to it.

Yang Suwen continued,
"As long as you can understand that water can support an elephant, this principle, what I'm going to say next, will be easy to understand."

"We can completely prepare a large ship directly above the secret room and empty the large ship.

Then use gunpowder or digging by hand to make a hole above the secret room.

It is indeed time-consuming and laborious to transport the gold back and forth through the passage to the ground, but if it is directly sent from the secret room to the lake, the distance between the two is a straight line, and it is much closer. "

Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.

Chen Hong exclaimed,
"Brother Yang, are you planning to transport the gold away with a big ship!

But at that time, the water in the northwest corner of the lake had been drained, and the boat could not move even when it was parked there. The result was still the same. "

Yang Suwen shook his head and said,

"No, the main purpose for us to get rid of the lake water is to obtain the gold below, not to let the lake water dry forever.

When we load the gold on the ship, we can completely blow up the dam and let someone flow back, so that the ship god can leave without anyone noticing! "

"If our actions are fast enough and our actions are secret enough, who would have thought that we did all of this!"

Chen Hong slapped his hands fiercely and said,

"Miao, in this way, not only the people below don't have to toss back and forth, but the people on the boat can also help, and the speed can be much faster. This is simply a genius idea!"

But Yang Suwen was not so optimistic, he said lightly,
"Actually, there is another problem that we must consider clearly.

If Ma Dazhong looted too much gold, a ship might not be able to load it at all.

We still need a more secure method to ensure that we don't leave a tael of silver to that old thief! "

"Yes, you must never leave a car of silver for the old thief.

As for one ship not being able to fit, let’s just get two ships. There are enough ships in Nanjing, how much do you want to find but can’t find it? "

"You can't say that. If it's just one ship, it can be used as an excuse that it needs to be repaired. If two ships are damaged at once, wouldn't it be suspicious?"
