The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 53 Liu Bei's year-end bonus!

"Mr. Cai Da was ordered by the emperor to escort the royal collection of books to be printed by me. Now he has been stationed in Linzi at my invitation and will teach at the soon-to-be-completed Linzi College."

At this time Liu Bei spoke, because Liu Bei saw Chen Ziming looking at the portrait without turning his eyes, thinking that Chen Ziming had taken a fancy to the person in the painting.

"Ah! So that's the case, but what does it mean?" Although Chen Ziming had already guessed what Liu Bei was going to do, he raised the portrait in his hand and asked without daring to confirm it.

"Hahaha, all great talents, you have contributed a lot to me, and you have contributed a lot, but because I spend time on government affairs and have no time to care about marriages, I feel uneasy. Now, I should be a matchmaker for all the great talents. There is no doubt about his daughter, I will go there in person to propose marriage for all of you."

Liu Bei finally said what the year-end award he gave to Chen Ziming and others was.

"Well, my lord, I'm still young, and it's not too late to get married after a few years." Chen Ziming was the first to reflect that he felt that he was indeed too young, and this Cai Yan was even younger, which was not suitable for him to marry at all. age requirements.

"The military division doesn't like this woman, it's okay, there are other candidates." Liu Bei thought that Chen Ziming didn't like Cai Yan, so he made excuses.

"No, this girl is very good. I just thought that the lord is still married, so I should not marry." Chen Ziming dare not say that Cai Yan is not good, otherwise he will be sprayed to death by Confucian scholars all over the world.

"That's right, the lord should get married first!"

Xu Shu hastily spoke up in support of Chen Ziming.

"Yuanzhi, tomorrow I will go to Mrs. Xu's place, why should I discuss your marriage?"

Seeing that Xu Shu was the first to stand up to support Chen Ziming, Liu Bei immediately took Xu Shu into the army.

"This matter is settled here. I will personally propose marriage for all of you. As for when to get married, you can discuss it yourself when the time comes, but the marriage must be decided."

Liu Bei also knew the virtues of Chen Ziming and others, one was lazier than the other, how could it be so easy for people to control them.

Chen Gong and the others did not speak, they had indeed reached the age of marriage.

"My lord, I'm late!"

This is Jian Yong walking in wearily and saluting Liu Bei.

"Why does Xianhe look like this?"

Seeing Jian Yong's tired face, Liu Bei hurriedly asked.

"Without it, therefore?"

Jian Yong took out the year-end award suggestion that Chen Ziming gave Liu Bei.

"But there's not enough money and food?"

Liu Bei was a little confused. Although he didn't know how much food he had, but because of Chen Ziming and Mi Zhu's strong support, Liu Bei's warehouse was still very sufficient.

"No, I can't figure out how much it will cost." Jian Yong was very helpless, this required a lot of people to figure it out, but these things had to be distributed years ago, and there was simply not enough time.

"Let me see." Chen Ziming took Jian Yong's list, and then asked for the number of officials and the number of each position.

"Pen and ink serve." Chen Ziming asked for pen and ink and a piece of white paper, and then began to count.

The number of soldiers and officials, the number of officials at all levels, and the consumption of each need, as soon as the Arabic numerals come out, first multiply and then add to get a good result. Chen Ziming will calculate all the consumption of a cup of tea. For Chen Ziming , This is just a math problem for primary school students in the 21st century.

"Okay, this is what you need to consume." After Chen Ziming finished speaking, he took some and handed it to Jian Yong on a piece of paper.

"???"

Everyone in the hall was full of questions, what did Chen Ziming write, how did the result come out, and how long it took.

"what's wrong?"

Chen Ziming saw that everyone looked at him suspiciously.

"Military division, I don't know if this is Hewen Ye, and how can the military division calculate it so quickly?"

Liu Bei asked everyone's doubts.

"This, I won't be able to explain clearly for a while, I will go back and write down the way, so that the lord can understand it immediately."

Although it is mathematics in elementary school, for them who are illiterate in mathematics, Chen Ziming is afraid that he may not be able to explain it clearly after talking dry, so he should write it down and let them understand it by themselves.

After the Liu Bei Group's high-level year-end meeting was over, Chen Ziming went back to write elementary school mathematics textbooks. There was no way, before Chen Ziming left, Liu Bei reminded Chen Ziming repeatedly to write those things down quickly.

Chen Ziming didn't write anything complicated. He wrote out the Arabic numerals and compared them with Chinese characters, and then wrote out the table of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and then gave some simple examples. Of course, they are all very practical examples.In the end, some very complicated Liezi and problem-solving methods are also included.

In this way, a simple version of elementary school mathematics textbooks at the end of the Han Dynasty and Three Kingdoms was born, and then Chen Ziming ordered people to start engraving and printing. These things are very practical and can be carried forward.

When Chen Ziming was still working hard to write elementary school mathematics textbooks, Liu Bei had already started to act, bringing gifts, and one family to match several important ministers, the first one was Cai Yong, the wife he was looking for for Chen Ziming, Cai Wenji, a talented woman .

There is nothing to say. In this era, parents have the final say on the marriage of children, especially women, who have no say at all. As long as the elders nod, then the matter will be settled.

Chen Ziming's name is famous all over the world, no less than Cai Yong, a great Confucian, and his invention of rice paper and printing has long been known to the world. Although Chen Ziming does not admit that he invented it, it is of no use.

When Cai Yong heard that he was marrying Chen Ziming, he agreed immediately, and gave the marriage certificate to Liu Bei, and waited for the wedding day.

Liu Bei got off to a good start, in a very good mood, and immediately rushed to the next family. He had to settle the marriages of several important officials as soon as possible, otherwise the Chinese New Year would be uncomfortable.

Of course, he didn't forget his two brothers. Although they didn't get the nods from Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, they didn't need it, as long as Liu Bei thought it was okay. In this way, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's marriage was also settled.

Although as a top prince, it is very cheap to be a matchmaker in person, but the news that Liu Bei committed himself to be a matchmaker for his subordinates spread the next day, and everyone knew about it.

None of the ordinary people or scholars said that Liu Bei had lost his status. On the contrary, they all admired Liu Bei very much.

Liu Bei's wisdom spread throughout the world again.

"Liu Bei's general situation has been established, and he is my great enemy!"

Chen Liu Cao Cao's only sentence after hearing this incident.

"It's out of the ordinary, it's shameful to lose the face of us and other princes!" Yuan Shao's evaluation of this matter made his subordinates drop several points of loyalty to Yuan Shao instantly after hearing this.

"Yuan Shao's inadequacy and strategy, Liu Bei is the master, I should repay him, but I should give him a big gift." Even Guo Jia in Yecheng's eyes lit up after hearing about Liu Bei's affairs and Yuan Shao's evaluation of this time. , With a decision, but I don't know whether he is going for Liu Bei's sage, or Liu Bei, the matchmaker.
