In the heavily guarded lower palace, they were suddenly attacked. Yu Xi and Mucha were shocked, and they quickly shouted to protect the lord, and they were about to kill the man with a sword.

"Hold on!" Zhao Wuxi hurriedly stopped them.

After the strange figure approached, they could see clearly that it was a planner who usually paid special attention to appearance.

How did he become so miserable?

Ji Qiao's demeanor was a little obsessed, and he also recognized Zhao Wuxi, so he couldn't help but come over, his dirty hands tightly grasping the rail of the limousine, for fear that Zhao Wuxi would go away.

"Young gentleman without shirt? It's a gentleman without shirt! I... I figured it out, figured it out!"

At this moment, he seemed to be in a state of extreme excitement, as if Archimedes, who suddenly realized the principle of buoyancy while bathing naked.

Zhao Wuxi looked at Ji Qiao with great sympathy, and saw that his lips were cracked, his hair was disheveled, his body was covered in sand, and his lower robe had several holes.

Because yesterday he was so happy that he got the territory and the military talisman. When he was happy, he completely forgot about this mathematician who was still trying to cut a circle!

"Little gentleman, your technique of cutting a circle is really useful. I spent a day and a night without eating or sleeping. I cut the whole thing, and I cut 3,024 squares! Finally, I got the contract to find the steps of the circle. Rate!"

Zhao Wuxi admired it even more, God is pitiful, but Ji Qiao used that complicated calculation to slowly complete this great project. The workload is definitely not small. the yard.

Ji Qiao slowly calmed down. He was like an elementary school dog eager to show off his arithmetic skills in front of the math teacher. He hurriedly reported the string of numbers, and then looked at Zhao Wuxi with a look of anticipation.

This is waiting for him... praise?

Well, that's a good answer. I'll give you a little red flower next month? Then touch your head?

However, Zhao Wuxi pondered after listening to it. 3.1415, this is the result obtained by Ji Qiao, and it is also the original answer given by Liu Zheng's first method of cutting a circle in the Wei and Jin Dynasties of later generations.

However, it's not perfect.

"Sir, your calculation is very close to correct."

Ji Qiao's face is like an eggplant beaten by frost, is it close? So, isn't it right? As a math expert, there is nothing more frustrating than getting an arithmetic problem wrong.

So Zhao Wuxi took Ji Qiao into the house, and asked the maid to take a towel to wipe his face, and then wrote a series of mysterious symbols with a brush on a wooden slip, 3.1415926.

Ji Qiao opened his mouth wide. He thought hard and worked hard to cut the result of a day and a night. Zhao Wu Xie wrote it in an instant.

With a plop, the arrogant Ji Qiao suddenly knelt on the ground. Zhao Wuxi, who was nominally his student, didn't dare to ask him for help, so he hurriedly avoided and also saluted Ji Qiao.

"Why do you do this, sir, you will kill the kid."

"Please, little gentleman, teach me this mysterious arithmetic!

"Mysterious arithmetic? Well, I've agreed, but it's not enough, sir, get up quickly, if you do this again, it will really shorten the boy's life." Zhao Wuxi's heart was filled with joy, he knew that his future first An important minister is about to enter the urn.

It can be said that the finances of more than 2,000 households in the Xia Palace and the surrounding small towns, and even the millions of people in the Zhao family, are in the pocket of the Qiaoqiao waist. With his help to govern Chengcheng, Zhao Wuxi has a few more chances of winning. It can be said that he has picked up a treasure!

The room was dark, so the maid was holding the palace lantern by the side, and Wu Xie and Ji Qiao sat opposite each other on the bamboo mat.

Since it would take another thousand years for Asan to invent the Arabic numerals of later generations, Zhao Wuxi rudely plagiarized it and used it himself. As for the inventor, he did not take credit, but directly pushed it to the Zhou Gongdan who was said to have created the Zhou Bi Suanjing and was quite accomplished in mathematics.

Zhao Wuxi pretended to be mysterious and said, "Sir, in fact, this kid once dreamed of Zhou Wengong, he taught me this set of numbers, I'll name it... Zhou Bi numbers for now!"

"Zhou Bi's numbers?" Ji Qiao nodded heavily, sounding so powerful, he was very convinced by Zhao Wuxi's statement. The great masters in this world dream of the sages of ancient times from time to time. It is said that Confucius, the sage of the state of Lu, often dreams of Duke Zhou.

"However, Duke Zhou and his elders didn't say whether it could be passed on to others... Alas, it's really difficult."

Ji Qiao's heart tightened. Could it be the kind of secret technique that is only passed down to direct descendants? He suddenly burst into despair, he could be shy and apprentice, but unless he committed suicide and went to Jiuyou's Da Si Ming and Shao Si Ming to report and reshape himself into an adult, he would not be a gentleman's son without mercy! It's over, it's over, this mysterious number of Zhou Bi will miss him.

He was heartbroken, his eyes darkened, but he heard Zhao Wuxi continue:

"Actually, my stupid boy is sitting on such magical algorithm numbers, just like a man who loves jade. It's really a waste of time. According to the boy's opinion, Mr. Zhou is a genius in mathematics, and Zhou Gong should actually entrust it to you in a dream, which is beneficial to the world and the people. Things are like a sword given to a warrior and a rouge given to a beautiful woman. So I should have taught it on my behalf, but the boy was appointed by his father, and he will go to Chengdi to be a village slaughter early the day after tomorrow.

Seeing another hope, Ji Qiao murmured to himself, "There must be a way of both, there must be!"

Zhao Wuxi seemed to remember at this moment, "When the boy is weak, he will govern hundreds of villages and towns. He doesn't know much about many things. If there is an experienced planner to assist him..."

He then looked at Ji Qiao with a "you know" look.

Ji Qiao understood in seconds.

He is the chief planner of the lower palace, and his rank is a sergeant. He can often walk around the head of the family, Zhao Yang.

But Chengyi is just a small township with a hundred households. Ji Qiao has always been in charge of the management of various places, so he knows that the place is very barren and the clan people are difficult to tame.

But at this moment, he patted his thigh without hesitation, stood up and said, "Don't worry, little gentleman, the overseas Chinese will go to submit his resignation letter and apply to be transferred to Chengyi as a planner, little gentleman... No, Lord, you must not Don't want me!"

Don't mention how much trouble Ji Qiao went to submit his resignation letter in the middle of the night, which caused much trouble to Zhao Yang, who was already asleep. After missing Ji Qiao's pillar, the work efficiency of Ji Qiao, which was approaching the end of the year, dropped by several percent.

Just to say that in the early morning of the next day, Zhao Wuxi wore a set of calfskin armor painted black, and brought five strong young men selected from the stable garden to the lower palace school grounds.

At his waist was a bronze "long sword" newly made by a craftsman - although the craftsman called it a long sword, Zhao Wuxi gestured with his hand and found that it was only two feet!

Zhou Chi is 23.1 centimeters, two feet, that is, less than half a meter. Is this also called length? It's a short sword, dear!

However, the truth is cruel. For a weapon like a bronze sword, two feet is really long. The craftsman then showed Zhao Wuxi the real short sword, which was only about a foot long, forged into a willow leaf shape, and could only be used for self-defense, or to stab close to the body. For example, the world-famous fish intestine sword is actually similar to the dagger of later generations.

The standard length of the swords used by the sergeants and sergeants of the Jin army is two feet. Swords with three feet are rare in the world. After all, the casting and forging technology in this era is limited, and the ductility of copper and tin is just that, and if it is too long, it is easy to break. Maybe you can find a few real long swords that can be used in Wuyue, where you have ordered the sword forging specialization...

The reason why Zhao Wuxi came here was to inspect the first armed force that Sima handed over to him.

Jin's military system is divided into: army, division, brigade...

Seeing this, don't scold you in a hurry. In fact, Zhao Wuxi almost bit his tongue when he learned about the establishment of the army in the Spring and Autumn Period, but he turned over the Zhou Rites and the Jin military law "The Law of Xuanzi", and it was written like this:

Where an army is formed, 12,500 people make up an army, the emperor of Zhou can build six armies, the great vassal states such as Jin, Qi, and Qin can build three armies, and the second states such as Song and Zheng can build three armies. The second army, small countries such as Cao, Zhu, etc. only have one army.

The generals are all served by the minister. Below the army, 2,500 people make up a division, and the division commanders are all senior doctors and middle doctors; five hundred people make up a brigade, and the brigade commanders are all made by junior doctors; a hundred people make up a pawn, and the **** leaders are all senior sergeants. ; Twenty-five people are one or two, and the two Sima are all served by sergeants; five people are in the army, and all of them have a corporal leader, and the corporal is the post.

Of course, this is only a theoretical figure. In fact, the three armies of the Jin state all exceeded the amount stipulated by Zhou Li, and even the number of half-armies mobilized by the Zhao family exceeded 30,000 soldiers. As for Zhou Tianzi, it is now difficult to even raise a full army.

The names of the military division brigade have existed since ancient times, so there are such expressions as "the defeat of the three armies", "the victory of the king's division", and "the brigade of bad vibrancy" in the history books of the Spring and Autumn Period.

On the contrary, it is a foreign military division brigade in later generations, which is the translated name.

The two Sima who lead these twenty people are named Yang Tong Rong. He was in his twenties, with a round head and a tiger body, a beard on his chin, and a leather armor. He looked very mighty, but his voice was gentle and aristocratic.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the civil servants and military generals have not yet separated, and they can wield halberds to kill the enemy when they go into battle. When they go into battle with Gao Guanbo, they can compose poems. This is the case with many ministers in Jin and Chu countries. so.

He respectfully saluted Zhao Wuxi and introduced the composition of the two Zhao soldiers.
