Forty-eight years of Qianlong

Chapter 289 I Was Recognized
Zhao Xin felt that he had made a mistake. He should have bowed and apologized before, instead of trying to be a teacher.

"What is this?" The woman asked, pointing to a symbol written by Zhao Xingang.

"It's the Greek letter, which is pi."

"Oh, the little girl understands, but what is Greece that the gentleman is talking about?"

"Uh, Europe, on the Aegean Sea."

"Where is this Aegean Sea? Is Europe what foreigners call Europa?"

"Girl, we're talking about spherical geometry now."

"Okay, please continue, sir."

Zhao Xin was repeatedly distracted by the woman's question. He sorted out his thoughts and continued: "I just talked about the calculation of the area of ​​a sphere, and now let's talk about spherical trigonometry."

Brabla spoke for almost half an hour, and the few people in the bookstore were all in a daze and couldn't understand at all.The woman looked down at the paper on the table for a while, and looked up at Zhao Xin for a while.

"Let the antiradial point of A be A', and the radius of the sphere be r. Then the area of ​​the spherical triangle ABC is half the area of ​​the spherical diagonal ABA'C. Well, it is easy to verify, then, that the area of ​​the spherical triangle is equal to sigma alpha. You do you understand?"

The woman looked at the weird symbols all over the article, and said to herself, if I want to understand, then I'll be damned!But she felt that the big man in front of her was really powerful. Mr. Gao Xi wrote a book, and this man finished it in two pages.

"These symbols are all the characters of the Xila country you mentioned?"

"It's Greece."

"Why don't you use my Chinese characters to express it."

"Trouble, it's not easy to use, understand?" Zhao Xin didn't want to mention Euclid, he was worried that the more he talked, the more problems he would have. "If you can use a symbol to express the meaning, there is no need to write a bunch of words."

The woman stared at the two blank papers in a daze, raised her head and said to Zhao Xin, "Can you give me these two papers?"

Zhao Xin was about to speak when he heard a man coughing behind him, and then said, "Zhenyi, what are you doing?"

The woman turned her head and said with joy: "Father, I am asking this gentleman about the method of Pythagoras. Are you done with your work?"

"The big girl's family, how decent is it!" The middle-aged man scolded his daughter, then cupped his hands at Zhao Xin and said: "Wang Xichen in Jiangning, the little girl has offended me so much, I hope this master will forgive me."

Zhao Xin was eager to get away quickly, so he also cupped his hands and said: "Wang Yuanfang, I can't be offended. Ling Ai is interested in geometry, which really surprises me. You don't have to be polite, Mr. Wang. I have something to do, so I will leave for now."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Xin waved his hand to Steward Yu and walked away.

Seeing that Zhao Xin was about to leave, the woman surnamed Wang hurriedly chased him outside the bookstore, and said to Zhao Xin, "Mr. Wang, you didn't get the manuscript!"

"I'll see you off!" Zhao Xin waved his hands without looking back.

"Where does Mr. stay? The little girl still wants to ask you about the geometry of this sphere."

After hearing this, Zhao Xin stopped and turned back, "Miss Wang, I'm leaving Guangzhou tomorrow."

The woman surnamed Wang asked slightly disappointed: "Ah? Then, can you leave an address, sir? I would like to ask you for more advice in the future."

"This, this, oh! I have a Zhuangzi in Sheyang Lake in the north of Jiangsu Province. The current steward's surname is Xu. Just send the letter to him. See you later!"

Seeing the back of Zhao Xin and his men "fleeing in a hurry", the woman's eyes flickered, and she was still holding the two draft papers full of formulas in her hand.

Coming out of the bookstore, Zhao Xin went to buy tea again.At present, there is a great demand for tea in the market in Fuldan City, and the price of black tea in Guangzhou is 18 taels per load excluding tax, and 12 taels for green tea.

There is no pollution in the tea of ​​this year, a proper pure natural green drink, and the price is still cheap.How many catties should I buy?

"Let's bring a hundred tans. You don't need to put them in boxes, just put them in straw bags." Ten thousand catties of tea sounds scary, but it's actually not much for Beihai Town.

After listening to Zhao Xin's order, Guanshi Yu has become numb.This guy usually starts with a hundred loads of things, and he doesn't know how to transport them later.

At this time, there was a crowd of people on Gaodi Street, and Zhao Xin's size was very conspicuous in the crowd.Over the years, he has also met many Manchu and Qing officials, especially the military officers in the prisoner camps. Zhao Xin's speech and behavior at this time seems to be a banner man.Of course, if there was a bannerman military officer present, Zhao Xin would have to tell the truth when people asked his old name, because he really didn't understand.

It was precisely because of his demeanor, coupled with the company of the Cai family, that even if someone was curious, they would just stand aside and watch.

But the bad thing is because of his height, it's too eye-catching!
No, Fu Ming'a, who had just come out of a grocery store in Suzhou and Hangzhou, noticed Zhao Xin who was diagonally opposite.

"Master, that guy is really tall!"

After hearing the words of his subordinates, Fu Ming looked in the direction of the finger, then waved his hand indifferently, thinking that maybe it was sent by some family in Beijing to handle errands.But at this moment, a voice that made him often have nightmares suddenly entered his ears, and Fu Ming'a's footsteps stopped immediately.

"Where does this tea come from?"

"So that the master will know that these are all produced in Fujian."

“Oh, Fujian black tea is pretty good”

Although it is winter now, the city of Guangzhou is still quite warm, and the temperature in the afternoon is around [-] degrees.But at this moment, Fu Ming looked at the big man not far away, his hands and feet were cold, like falling into an ice cave!
"That's right! This stature, this voice, it's him! My God, why did this demon king come to Guangzhou City?!"

Fu Ming'a belongs to Zhengbai Banner, and is a defense officer under the Guangzhou Garrison Eighth Banner, rank five.

In recent years, Qianlong requested to abolish the Eight Banners of the Han army stationed in various places, and let them go out one after another to be included in the Green Battalion. Therefore, the insufficient soldiers were transferred from the Eight Banners in Beijing to make up for it. Fu Ming'a was one of them.He was transferred from Beijing in June this year. Before that, he was a prisoner in Beihai Town for two years, and dug a gold mine in Solenji Island for a year. When exchanging prisoners, he went back with Li Dagang and others. left the capital.

After Fu Ming'a was captured in the battle of Furjiaha River, he saw Zhao Xin heal the wounded soldiers under his own eyes. Afterwards, Zhao Xin visited the gold mine many times. Even if he was killed, he would never forget Zhao Xin. New look and voice.

The two personal servants saw Fu Ming's forehead was sweating, his eyes were straight, and his whole body was trembling, and they were worried and asked strangely: "Master, are you feeling unwell? Do you want me to find a doctor?" "

After standing there in a daze for a while, Fu Ming looked at Zhao Xin in a trance, wearing a six-in-one hat and a braid hanging down the back of his head, and he gradually came to his senses.

This is in Guangzhou!This is my place!However, the reward offered by the imperial court to Zhao Xin is 1 taels regardless of life or death, and he will be promoted to five ranks.

Thinking of this, Fu Ming'a's mouth showed a sinister smile.

"You two keep an eye on that tall man for me. Let's see where they go next. Don't startle the snake! Master, go to the Nanhai County Government Office. If you have anything to do, go find me there."

"Master, what if they leave the city?"

"Follow him to death! Find out where the tall man is staying."

Across the street, Zhao Xin took the receipt from the steward Yu, thought for a while and said, "I heard that there are many ivory carving shops on Agate Street, let's go and have a look."

The most famous handicrafts in Guangzhou history are ivory carvings, jade carvings and wood carvings. Zhao Xin has heard of them, but has never seen them.

Steward Yu rubbed his sore legs and nodded helplessly.Fortunately, Agate Street is not far from Ximen, so let’s get out of the city as soon as you finish your tour, you’ll be shopping this day!

He and Zhao Xin got into the carriage respectively, and the group passed through Guide Gate and headed north along Mishi Street.

Maybe it was because the day went too smoothly, or maybe everyone was tired from walking. At this time, including the guys from the Cai family, no one noticed that there were two people following them not far away.

Zhao Xin is not a spy. Although he knows some knowledge of practical psychology, those methods are only used when negotiating or interrogating people.If Seldan, who was born as a hunter, was present, he might be able to detect someone following him; in fact, it is not necessarily true, Seldan is familiar with the northern forests, but right now he is in a city with a population of one million.

An hour later, when Zhao Xin finished shopping on Agate Street and left, the spies around him had already turned into government servants of Nanhai County.
Fu Ming is only a fifth rank defensive player, he does not have the right to deploy troops, and he is in a hurry right now, so he can only find important people from the Nanhai County Government.That's because Fu Ming'a is a fifth-rank official, and he's also a bannerman. If he's an ordinary person, why don't he stay cool?

When these people followed Cai's carriage out of the city, they saw that the carriage finally entered the office on Tongwen Street.Only then did the follower stay, and then go back to report.When it was time to light the lanterns at night, Tusab, the governor of Guangdong, had already got the news; it didn't take long for Sun Shiyi to know too.

In the signing room, Sun Shiyi slapped the table and shouted loudly: "What a thief! How dare you come to Guangzhou to stir up troubles! Where is Fu Ming? Tell him to come see me immediately!"

As soon as the words fell, the governor Tusab walked into the house, cupped his hands solemnly, and said, "Cai Shiwen's subordinate officials have already asked clearly! That person will leave tomorrow."

"Leave? How did he go?"

"Cai Shiwen didn't say, the strange thing about that person is that he suddenly appeared in Haizhuan Temple last night."

Sun Shiyi got up and paced back and forth in the house, without speaking for a long time.At this time, an aide said: "To make Taiwan, you can't let the tiger go back to the mountain! It's better to kill the wrong one than let it go."

Sun Shiyi's eyes flickered, but he didn't speak, but just looked out the window with his hands behind his back.After a while, the subordinates reported that Fu Ming had arrived.

When the people came to the house and prostrated, Sun Shiyi turned and stared at Fu Ming A Dao: "Tell me what you saw on the street this afternoon, from beginning to end!"

Half an hour later, Fu Ming's mouth was dry and he clasped his hands and said: "Zhitai, if the officials speak falsely, they will be struck with a thunderbolt!"

"How many times have you met Zhao Ni in the north?"

"I can't remember whether it was seven or eight times, but I can't forget the man who turned into ashes."

At present, Guangzhou General Cuntai went to inspect the naval camp, and Sun Shiyi was the largest in the entire Guangzhou city.He discussed with several staff members and finally made up his mind.Now mobilizing troops is a trivial matter, if you really want to catch Zhao Ni, it will be a great achievement, and everything can be discussed with Qianlong.

"Take my token and order the deputy general of the Chinese army who supervises the bid to lead people to surround the Thirteenth Office, and no one can let go!"

After Sun Shiyi finished speaking, he preached to Tusa: "Master Tu, this Taiwan has the right to control the bidding. I order you to send the generals of the Chinese Army who will take the bidding and lead 1000 people to surround Haizhuan Temple overnight!"

Tusab cupped his hands and said, "How will the Cai family deal with it?"

Sun Shiyi said: "It's just a businessman, let's keep an eye on them first. If Zhao Ni himself is really caught, he won't be able to escape by ransacking his family and destroying his family!"

Fu Ming who was on the side heard this and couldn't help shaking.

When the troops of the Chinese army who supervised the bidding began to mobilize, Zhao Xin just came out of the office after having dinner, and strolled back to the firm.When Liu Zheng saw that the others had returned, he couldn't help complaining: "Brother, you can really go shopping!"

Zhao Xin casually handed Liu Zheng an ivory ball with eight layers hollowed out, and asked, "Well, have the herbs and tea been delivered?"

"It's all here." Liu Zheng took it subconsciously, looked down, and asked in surprise, "For me?"

"Yes, I bought it in the ivory shop on Agate Street this afternoon. It's ivory." After Zhao Xin finished speaking, he said to Liu Zheng, "I'll go to the warehouse next door to check the goods."

Liu Zheng probably guessed what Zhao Xin was going to do, so he carefully carried the ivory ball back to the house and put it away.He thought about going to the warehouse to help with the inventory, so he went downstairs. When he reached the stairs, one of his soldiers suddenly slipped down the ladder at the entrance of the building, and said to Liu Zheng, "Sir, something is wrong!"

Liu Zheng was stunned for a moment and didn't realize it. He only heard the soldier continue: "A large number of officers and soldiers emerged from Tongwen Street and came towards us."

"Go! Go up and have a look."

The two of them went up to the roof from the ladder, without using binoculars, they saw dense torches on Tongwen Street in the north, like a line of fire, as if someone had brushed a stroke on the dark street with a golden pen.Liu Zheng's heart sank suddenly, feeling that something was going to happen.He whispered to the soldier: "You keep an eye on it first, and report anytime there is any situation."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and got off the ladder, hurried to the room where the platoon leader of the guard was, opened the door and said, "There is a situation! Everyone, get ready to fight!"

Zhao Xin said he was counting the goods, but in fact he moved very quickly. A few minutes later, he had already come out of the warehouse. When he opened the door to go in, he almost bumped into Liu Zheng who was looking for him.

"Brother Zhao, something has happened! There are many officers and soldiers outside."

Zhao Xin was also taken aback, but he quickly reacted and went up to the second floor.At this time, soldiers in twos and threes were standing behind the windows of the building, each with two pistols; an M1911 and a revolver from Beihai Town.

He went to the window and opened the curtains to have a look. Sure enough, the densely packed torches outside the building had surrounded the White Bear Walk on three sides.However, because there is a fence at the entrance of Baixionghang, the side facing the Pearl River has not been fenced yet.

"What should we do?" Liu Zheng asked eagerly.

Zhao Xin thought for a while and said, "Wait for a while, we'll see the situation."

"Why don't I go out and ask? This is a business area, and officers and soldiers dare not mess around."

Zhao Xin said: "Don't go, send a servant to ask."

A servant of the Baixiong Bank tremblingly left the gate of the business, walked to the brightly lit fence, bowed to several officers and soldiers, and asked tremblingly: "Master, what's going on here? ?"

A military officer in leather armor stepped out from under the torch and said, "Under the order of the Tai Tai Master, arrest the rebels! It has nothing to do with idlers!"

　Let me tell you, the reason why I wrote Wang Zhenyi is because she was the only unrestrained mathematics lover at the same time.Mathematics in the early and middle Qing Dynasty was a family tradition, with emphasis on the calendar.Including Wang Zhenyi, these people can only be regarded as astronomers, not mathematicians at all.Many people regard being an official in the imperial examination as the first priority, and mathematics or calendar are just personal hobbies.It is completely useless to recruit these people, and the mathematical terms these people are accustomed to are very different from those of later generations, and it will take time to accept them.
