Prince of Chaos

Chapter 650 The Power of Mathematics

Zhu Changluo's idea of ​​transferring the middle and lower ranks of the important towns on the nine borders was formed only recently.

During this period of time, Zhu Changluo had been thinking about how to silently change the status quo of Xuan and Da towns. Later, Zhu Changluo finally thought of a way, which was to start with the middle and lower level officers.

These people cannot participate in the decision-making among the generals and soldiers, but each of them can lead hundreds or thousands of soldiers to defend and defend with them. In a sense, these people are The prestige and ability of the grassroots in the Ming army are all there.

Moreover, the most important thing is that these people are not valued very much, and they can only live outside the power edge of the military town for generations, but they can influence the soldiers at the bottom.

Therefore, they are recruited in batches to the military academy to arrange their studies, so that they can get different expectations and hopes in their military academy study career, and by the way, instill Zhu Changluo's thoughts in them.

If things go on like this, there are more batches to be rotated, and there is enough time.Naturally, Zhu Changluo could use the authority of the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies to promote these outstanding performers.

At the same time, when these people are transferred, the outstanding students trained in the military academy can be placed in the middle and lower ranks of the Nine Sides officer system with the opportunity to learn and experience.

If this happens more often and over time, the middle and lower level officers will become a new military force with military academy background as a force.

At that time, it will be easy for Zhu Changluo to change the military system of Nine Sides.

However, this process may take a little longer.

However, Zhu Changluo is not afraid, he is still young and has plenty of time.

It is completely possible to change the status quo of the Daming Frontier Army in the form of this silent, warm-boiled frog.Make it a military force loyal to itself.

The current generals and generals are all daring!
Although they eat the salary of the imperial court and enjoy the official positions of the imperial court, they are too personal.

This is especially true for those generals who are in key positions!
Taking the Qibai Rebellion in the 20th year of Wanli as an example, Qibai was originally a Mongolian naturalized general of the Ming Dynasty, and was finally promoted from a guerrilla general to the position of deputy commander in the Ming army system.

However, this person is ungrateful!

He learned the bad habits of the general soldiers of the Han people and raised private soldiers in the name of servants.

Originally, Qianbai didn't intend to make trouble, he retired peacefully.

As a result, a tribal rebellion broke out in the Taohe area. Gu Daobai wanted to invite Taohe to fight, but was rejected by the governor at the time.

However, the governor did not suppress Taohe's rebellion, and returned in a big defeat, which made Qiao Bai have a different heart.Since then, he has embarked on the road of no return to rebellion.

And the wealth of his rebellion is the [-] servants he raised!
These [-] family members were all elite soldiers armed with money and food from the Ming Dynasty, but in the end, these people only recognized worship and not the imperial court.

It can be seen from this that the corruption of the Nine Sides is definitely not because the governor is incompetent and the general soldiers are timid, but because these people are too selfish. …

He took the money and food given by the court as his own money and food as it should be.

Then, while enslaving local military households to farm for them as slaves, they began to raise private soldiers in the name of servants.

These private soldiers are all their own personal armed forces, and they will never rush to the front line when something really happens.

Therefore, these private soldiers are naturally grateful to them.

This caused the imperial court to spend a huge amount of money and food, and ended up raising a large number of moths that lay on Daming's body and sucked the bone and sucked the marrow.

If things go on like this, can Daming's borders be well guarded?

The answer is definitely not good.

Therefore, in order to change this status quo, in order for the Ming army to directly obey the orders of the imperial court again, Zhu Changluo had to change the status quo.

Transition the Ming army from privatization to the imperial court, and then to your own hands.

So, in Zhu Changluo's final vision, Ming's army is going to be royalized.

They want to become the emperor's private army, and no one can touch them except the emperor!
Even the Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies cannot command them. The only command they can listen to is the imperial edict of the emperor!

Of course, there is still a long way to go, and it is just the beginning.

There is still a long way to go, and the road is long and difficult!
After resting for a while, Zhu Changluo finally withdrew his thoughts.

At this time, Sun Xian reminded again: "Master, the Qionglin Banquet has begun."

Zhu Changluo got up and moved around, and said, "Let's go."

5000 people gathered in the auditorium of Xishan Academy, and large round tables were placed in the open space on the first and second floors of the auditorium.

There are two or thirty people sitting around each large round table. These people are all wearing official uniforms, sitting together nervously, and the excitement in their eyes is beyond words.

At this moment, they were all looking forward to the arrival of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

After an unknown amount of time, just as everyone was still anxiously waiting for the fact, a high-pitched voice sounded in the auditorium: "The Holy Prince is here!"

Everyone's attention was instantly attracted by this sentence, and everyone stood up and bowed in one direction.

"The minister waits to welcome the Holy Prince!"

Zhu Changluo strode into the auditorium amidst the salutes and greetings of the crowd, and walked straight to behind a huge round table at the top of the auditorium.

Zhu Changluo looked at everyone, stretched out his hand and said, "Be flat."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

At this moment, everyone stood up again, and focused all eyes on Zhu Changluo.

Zhu Changluo raised the wine glass on the table and said: "Please be seated, gentlemen. This Enke Qionglin Banquet is a celebration banquet for all the newly promoted bachelors, and you are the protagonists of this banquet. I am accompanying guests today. You can enjoy enjoy, don't care about the rites of the ruler and ministers."

After everyone listened, they bowed again: "Thank you, Your Highness."

Then, everyone began to take their seats.

Zhu Changluo also took advantage of the opportunity to sit down. Apart from the eight ministers from the Cabinet's Military Aircraft Department, the rest at his table were the first and third members of the Enke Mathematics Department and the first and third members of the Fanyu Department.

The six newly-promoted Enke scholars were sitting with the crown prince and the ministers of the military aircraft department, and they seemed extremely nervous and excited. …

Such an honor, compared to the champions of the previous generation, they have never had such an honor!

This shows how important Enke is to Zhu Changluo this time.

He almost gave the Enke scholars the greatest face!

It made these people even more grateful to the crown prince!

Wang Xijue, Shen Sixiao, Dong Qichang and the others looked at the six first-class scholars who were sitting with them, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, the future is awesome!
However, there is also a person whose age is similar to them.

When they saw this Mathematics Bachelor who was about the same age as them, everyone became curious.

However, who here has not experienced wind and rain, experienced big scenes?

No matter how curious they are, they will not take the initiative to ask questions, everything depends on the crown prince's attitude.

After Zhu Changluo finished speaking, he sat down in his seat, and Zhu Changluo looked at the six new Enke bachelors in front of him.

Zhu Changluo naturally set his sights on the oldest Cheng Dawei.

Zhu Changluo looked at Cheng Dawei and asked: "Cheng Shuji is old and strong. At the age of 66, he went to the Coenke Mathematics Department and won the No. 3 ranking in the first class. I really admire him."

"Gu is young, but Gu also respects learning, especially Cheng Jishi, who lives and learns as a model, makes Gu feel that learning is boundless and knowledge is priceless."

Faced with Zhu Changluo's praise, Cheng Dawei immediately stood up and bowed and said: "Your Highness is absurdly praised, and I am ashamed to be worthy of it. I am old and have no skills. I only have a deep study of logarithms. His Highness Enke took the examinations for scholars. This minister was able to become famous in the capital. All this is a gift from His Highness, and this minister is extremely grateful."

Zhu Changluo smiled and said: "Cheng Jishi is too modest. As far as Gu knows, Cheng Jishi is not only proficient in mathematics, but also has written a book. Gu also found Cheng Jishi's masterpiece and read it. Cheng Jishi's book will definitely be handed down to future generations. It has been through the ages. Enke just happened to pick up the leftover jewels of several families like Cheng Jishi this time. Speaking of which, this is also Gu’s luck.”

Cheng Dawei was extremely moved, he really didn't expect the Crown Prince to have read his book.

Cheng Dawei couldn't help but bowed again: "I was born in the prosperous age of Ming Dynasty, and I am happy to meet the crown prince. It is a blessing that I have cultivated for hundreds of generations. If my alma mater can contribute a little or two to Ming Dynasty, I will have no regrets in this life." Yea!"

Zhu Changluo said with a smile: "The revival of the Ming Dynasty is imminent, and all industries are flourishing. There is always an opportunity for Cheng Jishi to show his skills and serve the Ming Dynasty. Before coming, I heard the people below say that the measuring scooter was invented by Cheng Jishi. I heard this news even more Great joy!"

"The tape measure seems simple, but it is extremely practical. Cheng Jishi was able to invent what he learned and apply it, and he invented the measuring scooter, which coincides with what the sages said about the pursuit of knowledge and the unity of knowledge and action. This is the way to simplicity! Talk to Gu , how was the tape measure invented?"

Zhu Changluo's praise made Cheng Dawei and the other extremely Enke scholars very excited.

The crown prince actually praised their invention as a way to coincide with the sage's character to extend knowledge, and to unite knowledge and action.

This compliment is extremely high!

Dawei Cheng thanked him, and then talked about the invention of the tape measure.

Cheng Dawei said: "The invention of measuring the walking cart was really accidental. In the sixth year of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng, the chief assistant of the dynasty, violated the emperor's order and ordered the measurement of the world's fields. At that time, I was still studying mathematics in my hometown. The huge task of measuring the field caught the young man.” …

"Chenna walks in the fields every day and measures the land with the people pulling long ropes all day. This method is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also has a huge error. But the task is urgent, and the field must be measured within the specified time. .”

"So, after thinking hard, I finally had a flash of inspiration, and finally invented the measuring walking cart. The principle of this cart is very simple. It is to make a scroll, and then wrap the long rope marked with the scale in it, and then pull the cart along the edge of the field. Walking in a straight line, the long rope with scales is naturally dragged out, and detailed field values ​​are obtained."

After Zhu Changluo heard it, he clapped his hands and said: "This method is wonderful! The isolated Xishan Huangzhuang invented a small tape measure because of your measuring scooter. Don't look at it as a small invention. But it has driven Xishan The development of all industries in Huangzhuang. Its contribution is great!"

Cheng Dawei was also very excited when he heard the crown prince's praise.

Originally, the invention of the measuring scooter was just an emergency work, but in the eyes of the crown prince, it was unexpectedly so useful.

No wonder the Crown Prince attaches so much importance to mathematics. Obviously, mathematics has brought great benefits to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

After chatting with Mr. Cheng, Zhu Changluo chatted with the remaining five Enke new bachelors based on this, and asked them about their situation.

Finally, at the conclusion, Zhu Changluo praised them for being smart and eager to learn, and they will definitely become the pillars of the court in the future.

After Zhu Changluo praised these people, they were all excited and happy.

They all expressed that they would serve the court with what they had learned, and live up to the ardent expectations of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Several cabinet ministers and ministers of the Military Aircraft Department also smiled kindly at them, which made them feel the different treatment and favor.

In particular, Shen Sixiao, the chief minister of the Ministry of Engineering of the military aircraft, directly asked Zhu Changluo at the banquet, wanting to ask these talented people to work in the Ministry of Industry.

Zhu Changluo did not express any opinion on this, but said: "I don't care about these things alone. If your Ministry of Industry really needs great talents in mathematics, you can go to the School of Mathematics to recruit talents. They are willing to go, and I will not stop them. However, if they want to If you continue to concentrate on mathematics research in the School of Mathematics, Gu will also strongly support it. The same is true for other court offices, and you must not force it!"

Zhu Changluo's words are equivalent to giving a golden arrow to the mathematicians of the School of Mathematics. They can accept or reject the recruitment and appointment of the imperial court according to their own preferences.

This grace is not insignificant!
It can be described as the majesty of the emperor's grace!

After hearing Zhu Changluo's grace, the nearby Enke mathematicians all got up and bowed to Zhu Changluo, "I will thank the emperor for his kindness."

At this time, Zhu Changluo also got up while drinking.

Zhu Changluo said with pride: "I heard that the Qionglin banquet of the eight-legged Jinshi has an elegant act of flying flowers to receive orders, and reciting poems and composing Fu. But today I don't make it difficult for you. After all, dancing and writing may not be your forte! Therefore, Gu came out today. A question, see if you can answer it quickly?"

After all, Zhu Changluo looked around at the crowd, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but focus on Zhu Changluo.

Zhu Changluo said: "The first question is, from one plus two plus three to one hundred, what is the sum?" …

After Zhu Changluo asked this question, the entire Qionglin Banquet fell silent, and everyone was thinking about this question.Even the cabinet ministers, military ministers and six ministers who accompanied Zhu Changluo at the table couldn't help stroking their beards and thinking.

These one hundred numbers may not sound like a lot, but if you add them up like this, you really have to do a lot of calculations to get the answer.

After three breaths, Zhu Changluo was disappointed, and Zhu Changluo said unwillingly, "Can't you answer quickly?"

At this time, Xu Guangqi who was in the corner stood up.

Xu Guangqi said: "I have figured it out."

Zhu Changluo looked over after hearing the reputation, and when he saw Xu Guangqi standing up, a satisfied smile appeared on Zhu Changluo's face.

Zhu Changluo said, "What is a number?"

Xu Guangqi said: "The number is five thousand and fifty!"

When Zhu Changluo heard the answer, he immediately shouted, "Okay!"

Then, Zhu Changluo looked at Xu Guangqi expectantly and said, "Tell Gu about your algorithm."

Xu Guangqi replied: "The minister arrived at the answer according to the calculation method His Highness once said."

When Zhu Changluo heard Xu Guangqi talk about counting, the smile on his face became even better.

This is a mathematical trick he showed off when Xu Guangqi appeared in front of others.

However, when Zhu Changluo proposed to count them separately, Xu Guangqi was astonished as a man of heaven.

He never thought that mathematics could still calculate problems in this way.

Zhu Changluo encouraged: "Tell me carefully."

Xu Guangqi said: "When one is added to one hundred, there are a total of one hundred numbers. Except one hundred, there are still 99 numbers. Among them, one plus 99 makes one hundred; two plus two 98 makes one hundred, and so on. Among the 99 numbers, there are 49 groups whose total sum is one hundred, and there is also a single fifty. These 49 one hundred plus one hundred, a total of fifty one hundred, fifty one hundred is five thousand, Five thousand plus the remaining fifty, the total is five thousand and fifty!"

After listening to Xu Guangqi's problem-solving ideas, everyone suddenly realized that it was this kind of algorithm, which is really amazing!

Everyone looked at Xu Guangqi with admiration. Obviously, they were also shocked by such a simple algorithm.

Zhu Changluo laughed loudly and said: "Okay, okay, wonderful! Wonderful! Zixian, this method is very wonderful."

Then Zhu Changluo said directly: "Xu Guangqi listens to the order!"

After Xu Guangqi heard Zhu Changluo's voice, he immediately knelt down to listen to the order.

Zhu Changluo announced: "Xu Guangqi is talented and intelligent, he is good at counting, and he loves him very much. The way of mathematics is the way to study the extremes of the world. The purpose of setting up a mathematics college alone is to calculate the extremes of the world with numbers. Xu Guangqi , quick thinking, can be put to great use. From now on, he will be the dean of the School of Mathematics, and will receive the title of fifth rank. Appreciate it!"

Xu Guangqi received the order excitedly, "I thank God for my kindness."

After Zhu Changluo canonized Xu Guangqi, Zhu Changluo felt that it was not enjoyable enough, so Zhu Changluo asked another question.

Zhu Changluo said: "Since ancient times, no one has known how high the sky is. But I don't think so! Gu thinks that no matter how high the sky is, numbers can be counted, and no matter how wide the land is, numbers can be counted! Today I have a single problem, to calculate the distance between the earth and the moon. If Those who can count will be rewarded with loneliness!"

After hearing Zhu Changluo's question, everyone was shocked.

They never thought that Zhu Changluo would calculate the distance between the earth and the moon.Who knows? …

Since ancient times, the sun and the moon have hung high, and mortals have been in awe when they see it.Today, the crown prince actually wanted to calculate the distance between the earth and the moon.

This is a remarkable memorabilia!

Anyone who can calculate it will definitely be able to pass down the eternal fame!

Seeing everyone's shocked expressions, Zhu Changluo released another blockbuster!
Zhu Changluo said: "Guwen Taixi had a mathematician in ancient times. Based on the movement of the moon in the sky and periodic solar eclipses, he calculated that the distance between the earth and the moon is 60 times the radius of the earth! Today, Gu wants to tell you a secret, From Zheng He's diary, the experience of Taixi people, and Chen Zhenlong's verification, we know that the earth is round."

"So, if you want to calculate the distance between the earth and the moon, I suggest you first try to calculate the size of the earth? Since ancient times, the legend of the round sky and the earth have cast a mysterious and elusive color on the sky and the earth."

"Now I want you to uncover this layer of mysterious and elusive colors with numbers. I want to see how big this land is! How high is this sky!"

After Zhu Changluo uttered the last two words deafeningly, everyone present was stunned.

Everyone here may be thinking about this question, but the final conclusion is that the sky is unpredictable and the depth of the earth is unknowable.

Now, the crown prince told everyone how big the land is in front of everyone. This scene is really shocking!

Unexpectedly, Zheng He 200 years ago knew how big the land was in a daze, and now even Tessie knows it too.

But they seemed to wake up from a dream, and only now did they realize that the ground was round.

No wonder the crown prince wants to open Enke of Mathematics and Enke of Fanyu.It turned out that this was all because Taixi already knew the secrets of the world, and since Daming stopped exploring the West, he stopped exploring.

For Daming, who claims to be a kingdom of heaven, this is absolutely unacceptable.

Therefore, Daming must also calculate the size of the land before Taixi, and what kind of world is there outside of Daming.

And this is extremely important to Daming's future!

That's why Zhu Changluo threw out these questions in this just-right reality, throwing a thought bomb into the minds of those who are still immersed in the heaven and the kingdom!

I hope that this bomb can catalyze Daming's desire to explore the world. From then on, with infinite curiosity as the driving force, he will pave his way to a new world of his own.

Zhu Changluo had gone to great lengths for this moment.

He is always worried that after the mathematics subject is over, people in the world will be enthusiastic about mathematics, and after a few days, they will still return to the road of emphasizing literature and despising mathematics.Therefore, Zhu Changluo must give them a big one!
To shock everyone at once, let them experience the power of mathematics!
