Take a plane to the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 146
Zhu Changyuan never expected that there are such high-end mathematical talents in the Ming Empire, and he had to admire: "Mr. Xu is not simple, he knows so much. Yes, I used the foreign method before!"

"Haha, I just said, how can there be any ghost drawing symbols to solve problems." After a pause, he asked again: "But the equation solution Mr. Tang said, what is the technique of Aix (X) or my love (Y)?"

"Exactly." Zhu Changyuan was completely convinced this time, he did not expect that there were so many talents in the Ming Dynasty, and there were people who understood this stuff, he said: "Mr.

"I really don't understand. Mr. Tang wanted to teach me before, but I thought it was too awkward, so I didn't learn it, and it was not easy to understand." After speaking, he seemed to think of something, and said: "But it is I learned a few numbers from Tang Ruowang, which are quite easy to use in daily life, much easier to use than Chinese characters.”

While speaking, he wrote it out for Zhu Changyuan to read, and Zhu Changyuan laughed after reading it. Isn't Xu Ermo's writing just Arabic numerals?

"Actually, it's not difficult to understand, it's just that Tang Ruowang made it too complicated." Looking at Xu Ermo's writing an X and a Y, he asked, "Is that what that guy wrote?"

Xu Ermo said, "Exactly."

"Actually, you don't have to use this thing. It's the same if you replace it with other characters. You will understand when I say it. For example, I use "zhi", "hu", "zhe" and "ye" for these words, which can also be replaced. "

"Can you?"

"Okay, I'll teach you another day, I'm not free today."

Xu Ermo said cheerfully: "Well, I will go to the mansion to ask for advice another day."

The two chatted for a while, and Xu Ermo left.

At this time, almost all the workers from the Ministry of Industry who came to the morning shift also came. Zhu Changyuan glanced at Liu Yunzhou, no matter whether he could solve the problem or not, he didn't intend to care about it, it was boring.

As soon as Xia Congliang entered the door, he hurried to Liu Yunzhou's seat and said, "It's not good, it's not good."

Liu Yunzhou said: "What's wrong."

While talking, I saw Yuanwailang Li Ji walking in from the door with a serious face, and seeing Zhu Changyuan and Xia Congliang standing in the hall without a straight face, he said angrily: "What happened on the balcony mountain?" , when will it be finished?"

Xia Congliang said with a bitter face, "My lord, in the past it took us at least a month to level the base of the tower, but now we've been given three days, how can I finish it, even if you break my leg, I can't help it. "

"You don't need to break your legs. The official department has already notified Mr. Xue that the imperial court withheld our three-month salary." After Li Ji finished speaking, he walked to the middle of the three of them, looked at Zhu Changyuan again and said emphatically. Emphasized, "All the personnel of the Ministry of Industry's Cleaning and Cleaning Department, everyone has a share, and each of you will deduct three months of your salary."

"The Ministry of Wenge sent a message, saying that we will give us another three days. If the base of the tower cannot be leveled in three days, then it is not a matter of three months' salary. You will give me a drink for the next year. Go northwest."

Xia Congliang shrank his neck, felt a chill in the summer, and said: "My lord, it's not enough, this, this, no one has the ability to guarantee that it will be finished in three days?"

"If you don't want to be fair, you have to be fair! If you are not fair, you will have nothing to eat!"

Zhu Changyuan heard them quarreling for a while, and couldn't help but ask: "Will my salary be deducted too?"

"What do you think!" Li Ji asked angrily.

"But I just came to the Yamen for a few days. Besides, what happened on the balcony mountain has something to do with my money?" Zhu Changyuan seemed quite aggrieved.

Li Ji smiled coldly, and said with a sneer: "Are you a three-year-old child who doesn't understand the rules? Since you are a member of the Cleaning Department, of course you have to detain him!"

Well, let you deduct, anyway, I don't expect these wages to live.

Zhu Changyuan didn't care too much about these salaries. Officials of the sixth grade are dignified and dignified, and their monthly salary is only ten shi, which is five taels in silver, which is only 60 taels a year. Would I care about this money?

I don't care, I don't care, but it's really uncomfortable to be taken advantage of for no reason.

You must know that although the money is not much compared to Zhu Changyuan's own wealth, if it is placed among ordinary people, it would be necessary to buy a house in the capital.

"Today, right now, both of you." Li Ji pointed to Xia Congliang and Liu Yunzhou, "Pack up my things and live in the balcony mountain for me immediately, and I will work day and night to level the base of the tower within three days. "

"Yes, my lord!" Although the two of them were reluctant, there was nothing they could do. Everyone knew the reason why the first rank of officials crushed people to death.

Looking at Zhu Changyuan, Li Ji pondered for a while and asked, "Has the Ciqing Palace been cleaned up yet?"

Zhu Changyuan said: "If you go back to your lord, it has already been cleaned up."

"Okay then, after cleaning up, you go to Balcony Mountain, and you will live there tonight, and bring some clothes and bedding home." After Li Ji finished speaking, he sighed himself, shook his head and went out.

The three chiefs looked at me and I looked at you, and they all shook their heads.

Xia Congliang said: "Don't be dazed, just go home and prepare some clothes and thin quilts, anyway, there is nothing wrong with summer." He tilted his head and asked Zhu Changyuan: "Master Zhu, do you know where the balcony mountain is?"

Zhu Changyuan nodded and said: "You guys go first, I'll go home and make some preparations, and I'll be there later."

They patted the horse all the way home, took some clothes, and went straight to the balcony mountain.We arrived at the place in less than half an hour.

Guanyin Pagoda, this building was designed and built by Xishi Tang Ruowang. It is a building that combines Chinese and Western elements. It is located at the southern foot of Balcony Mountain, so it is convenient to come and go.

Only when he arrived at the scene did Zhu Changyuan realize how lively it was, and it couldn't be described as crowded.

Leaving aside those officials who participated in the construction, thousands of farmers were recruited, and this is only the number of people required in the early stage of the project.

The location of Guanyin Pagoda has been determined, and the base of the pagoda has been processed. It is a platform with a length and width of tens of meters built with large and small stones. The only shortcoming is that the platform is not very flat.

On the high platform, several guys in official uniforms were pointing. Zhu Changyuan took a closer look, and there were two of his colleagues, Liu Yunzhou and Xia Congliang, and there were several people in red official uniforms beside them.

Zhu Changyuan was also sweating all over his forehead. It seems that the court's punishment was very effective. Not only Xue Lianqian, a doctor from the Ministry of Industry, came to the scene, but it seemed that there were two higher-ranking officials in front of him.Both of them are wearing red official uniforms, and they are very dignified.

"Who are those two people?" Zhu Changyuan stopped his horse and tied it to a nearby tree, and asked the boy beside him.

The servant took a look and said, "You mean those two, one is Liu Zongzhou, the left servant of the Ministry of Industry, and the other is Liu Zunxian, the current Minister of the Ministry of Industry."

Holy crap, the bosses are here, could this guy also be fined with a salary?

Zhu Changyuan straightened his clothes, followed the workers, went up to the high platform and stood at the end of the officials' team, and heard Xue Lianqian introduce to the two leaders: "All the directors of the camp repair department are here, and they will be there in three days. The foundation has been leveled, please rest assured, this time we have not only increased the manpower, but also added three leveling rods."

"En." Liu Zongzhou, the left servant of the Ministry of Industry, said: "It doesn't matter if there are too many people. The Master said that three people must have my teacher. Call all colleagues over and listen to their solutions. Maybe we can find a solution."

Liu Zunxian also nodded, agreed with Liu Zongzhou's point of view, and said: "Liu Shilang's words are not bad. This pagoda is related to the important matter of praying before the autumn harvest next year, so there must be no delay. The meaning of the court is the meaning of His Majesty. I hope that all colleagues will work tirelessly and complete it early! Otherwise, the blessing event next year will be delayed, and none of us can escape the responsibility."

"Yes, my lord!"

"Work!" Yu Guang didn't give up any chance to show himself in front of the boss of the Ministry of Industry. Once Liu Zunxian stopped talking, he began to organize farmers to carry out leveling.

The first is to drag the level bar onto the platform.

Then, under Zhu Changyuan's surprised gaze, he started leveling.

I don't know why, the Ming Dynasty in the parallel world lags far behind in civil engineering technology. The principle of Dingping is correct, but the accuracy is very poor.

This method of leveling is called vertical leveling.The so-called determination of level by vertical means that the vertical is determined first, and then the plane is determined.The specific operation method is: first make a T-shaped wooden pole, when it is leveled, the horizontal pole is parallel to the ground, the vertical pole is raised to the sky, and then the middle of the vertical pole is hollowed out, and a small iron hammer hangs down from top to bottom.

The hammer hangs down naturally, pulled by a silk thread, and swings from side to side.Once balanced, its position is exactly in the middle of the leveling bar, neither to the left nor to the right, and it is properly vertical.

Since the horizontal bar and the vertical bar below are perpendicular to each other, once the vertical bar is vertical, then in theory, the horizontal bar should be horizontal, so it is not impossible to establish the level.

However, there is a big problem that cannot be solved, that is, the length of the leveling rod is too short, and each leveling only has a few meters of ground, so continuous leveling to the end, not only has a large error, but also takes a lot of time.

Furthermore, the vertical bar and the cross bar of this leveling bar are difficult to achieve true verticality.

Therefore, the ancient leveling is such a continuous cycle to reduce the error, back and forth, and finally level the foundation.

It was very troublesome for Zhu Changyuan to come to a conclusion.

Besides, what is the leveling method in modern society? One is to use a level to measure, which is naturally very accurate. The error will never exceed three millimeters within a radius of [-] meters.The second method is the local method of migrant workers on the construction site, which is to cut a long and thin water pipe, fill it with water, and level it with the water planes at both ends equal.The error of the second method is slightly larger, but it is also within one centimeter, which is much better than the parallel world method of leveling the field.

Liu Zongzhou, the servant of the Ministry of Industry at the front, was full of style when he spoke. He opened his mouth and said, but closed his mouth on the Analects of Confucius.Zhu Changyuan asked Xia Congliang next to him in a low voice: "This guy who opens his mouth to Confucius and shuts his mouth to sages, his speech is really difficult to understand. Please translate it for me."

Zhu Changyuan has an advantage, that is, if we are low-educated, we can humbly ask questions without fear of embarrassment.

Xia Congliang originally wanted to answer it properly, but after hearing Zhu Changyuan's question, he looked at Liu Yunzhou in embarrassment, and said, "This, this, let Master Liu explain it to you, he knows better than me!"

Zhu Changyuan would not take the initiative to provoke this guy, he snorted and said, "Why?"

Xia Congliang put on a bitter face, and said in a low voice: "My lord, Mr. Liu, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, is named Zong Zhou!"

Zhu Changyuan didn't quite understand for a while, and said: "What's wrong with Zong Zhou, and Mr. Liu... Uh, uh! I understand." Nima, these two things should be related, one is called Liu Yunzhou, and the other is called Liu Zongzhou.

I bought a watch last year, what the hell is going on.

"What's the matter?" Xue Lianqian looked at Zhu Changyuan, and asked, "If you have any good ideas, you don't need to talk about them in private, you can talk about them, don't make them behind closed doors."

"Ugh!" Zhu Changyuan and Xia Congliang stared at each other.

Liu Yunzhou next to him was a complete loser, and said, "Just now I saw Mr. Zhu talking so loudly, it seems that there is a better way?" After speaking, he looked at Xue Lianqian with a smile in his eyes.

　Four hundred characters extra, what a shame, woo woo. . .
