Outside Shiqian Hall, Liu Teng blocked the door and said that His Majesty had a decree and asked them to wait for a while.
Gao Zhao, Liu Fang, Cui Guang, and Cui Liang stood in a row, with doubts on their faces: Does it feel like His Majesty is afraid that they will see something?
What is Your Majesty doing?
What else can Yuan Ke do, naturally make smoothies.
With a look of helplessness on his face, he watched Gao Ying commanding several palace ladies and hurriedly hiding things.
"Don't be so panicked, I'm the emperor!"
Gao Ying had a sarcastic look on his face: "I don't care, uncle, the other three are about to become spirits. If you look at all these things, you can guess 70% to 80% of them on the spot.
It is true that His Majesty is the emperor, but what about San'er and Li Chengzhi? But you must not harm them... Otherwise, if you have such a good plan, you will not dare to offer it to Li Chengzhi even if you kill him..."
Yuan Ke was stunned: This is really true!
Whatever...
About half a moment later, Yuan Ke asked Liu Teng to let him go.
"I have met His Majesty, Your Highness!"
The four people were greeting each other while their eight eyes were looking around.
Does everything feel like the same as before?
In addition to more fragrance: milky, fruity, honey...well, there is also a bit of wine!
Several people looked strange: Could it be that the emperor and the queen were hiding in the palace and eating something secretly?
Everyone had their own concerns and did not raise any suspicions. Gao Zhao kept gesturing to Liu Fang, asking him to say first: You go first, so I can play the part...
What kind of advice can you give? At most, you can just ask, but you have to wait first...
Liu Fang took out a memorial from her sleeve and handed it to Yuan Ke respectfully: "Your Majesty, please read it!"
"Sit down!" Yuan Ke pointed to the table tables below him and took the memorial.
With just one glance, Yuan Ke frowned: Please appoint Li Chengzhi as a doctor of imperial estimating!
It wouldn’t be so strange for him to ask Li Chengzhi to get a doctorate in the Book of Songs. What’s going on with this doctorate in arithmetic?
Yuan Ke looked down and suddenly had a strange look on his face.
On the first day he went to the eunuch, Li Chengzhi invented a method that allowed warlocks to save time on calculations and even assistants?
Simple arithmetic, vertical calculation...as long as the literate can learn it, there is no need for calculation chips. When there is no paper or pen, you can just use a stick to calculate?
Really or not, neither Xi Kangsheng nor Gao Baoer seems to have mentioned that Li Chengzhi can do arithmetic?
Then I thought about it: They never mentioned that Li Chengzhi could make ice, didn't he make it too?
If Liu Fang really follows what Liu Fang said, anyone who can read can learn it. Wouldn't it be possible for the officials to build houses, utensils, and fortifications, but when it comes to reclaiming land, building rivers, building roads and bridges, etc., they can just bring over a small official? Solve various problems and no longer need to appoint additional officials who are proficient in arithmetic?
Switching to the army: The leader of the team can calculate the weapons, clothing, food, water, and other utensils required by the soldiers under his subordinates?
If one day, on a whim, I doubt the officials and whether there is corruption in the palace, can't I just pick up a pen and figure it out?
Yuan Ke immediately paid attention, and just as he was about to reach out for a pen, Cui Guang handed forward a pencil as thick as his thumb.
"Your Majesty can use this pen: you can write without dipping it in ink, and it is not as easy to stain your hands and clothes as a charcoal pen... This pen was also made by Li Chengzhi..."
Yuan Ke took a closer look, feeling a little impressed but also a little speechless.
Isn't this just hollowing out the wooden stick and pressing the graphite strips in?
Just like Li Chengzhi making smoothies with ice, changing the horizontal position of calculating chips into the firm position of using a pen, etc., it all feels so simple and there is no difficulty at all!
But why couldn’t the predecessors and other officials figure it out?
He shook his head, took the pencil, casually thought about the multiplication of two sets of numbers, and followed the steps in the memorial to calculate on the paper.
When a problem was solved, Yuan Ke was surprised: If he had used calculation chips, he might not have even laid out the calculation formula at this time?
I just don’t know if I’m right...
Liu Fang pointed down at the memorial: "Just now we are seeking accumulation. Your Majesty can use this method of seeking business to verify..."
Although Gao Zhao didn't know what was written in Liu Fang's memorial, when he heard that Cui Guang had just mentioned Li Chengzhi, he knew that it must be related to Li Chengzhi. Then he saw Gao Ying standing behind the emperor, his eyes shining brightly, and his heart became even more suspicious.
.
While the emperor was discussing with Liu Fang, Gao Zhao poked Cui Guang: "What are you talking about?"
Cui Guang whispered: "We will invite Li Chengzhi to be the doctor of the Imperial College..."
Gao Zhaomeng froze.
I tried my best to get Li Chengzhi into the eunuch, but I haven't even tried to find out whether he is a person appointed by heaven. Are you going to take him away for me?
He shook his head violently: "That's inappropriate!"
"What's wrong?" Cui Guang glanced at him with a half-smile, then pointed to the memorial in the emperor's hand, "The algorithm created by Li Chengzhi is unprecedented, and it saves all ministries, divisions, and
How many conveniences are there for officials in the department, prefectures, counties, and other counties, so why can’t they be promoted?”
Arithmetic?
He thought he was Doctor of Songs...
Gao Zhao seemed to be choked, shocked and angry.
Cui Guang has praised him to this extent, how can he be false? Looking at His Majesty again, there is a look of surprise on his face. Li Chengzhi may have been promoted to an official today...
I had expected that there would be twists and turns, and I specifically requested a decree from His Majesty, but I didn’t even know that Liu Fang and Cui Guang would suddenly turn out to be unexpected?
In just a few days, Li Chengzhi invented the art of making ice in the hot summer and created an unprecedented calculation method. Even Liu Fang and Cui Guang took the initiative to petition for him?
He is simply a monster. If he is allowed to continue like this, even the cooked duck will fly.
Just as he was wondering, he heard the emperor sigh quietly: "This method really achieves twice the result with half the effort, and Li Chengzhi lives up to his reputation as an all-rounder... I followed Master Liu and made Li Chengzhi a doctor of the Imperial College, seventh grade!"
Gao Zhao's eyes darkened: Sure enough...
The emperor paused for a moment and then said thoughtfully: "I wanted to inform Master Liu: I have an errand to send Li Chengzhi to do. If he asks for leave from time to time, I must give him permission..."
Do you sometimes ask for leave?
What kind of errand was Li Chengzhi running that required the emperor to personally greet them and make them accommodating?
Not only "sometimes", I have been deceived by Li Chengzhi for three months!
You actually said you want to make some money so you can buy a house in Beijing?
Hmm...make money?
Thinking of this, Liu Fang and Cui Guang's hearts jumped.
Are you asking him to sell ice?
Thinking about it again, I really can’t say for sure, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence?
Seeing that the two old men only exchanged glances but said nothing, Yuan Ke thought they were discussing how to speak.
"Your Majesty, you are here because of the ice... Don't be impatient. We'll see after the meeting on the third day of the lunar month..."
The two old men looked at each other: Your Majesty is indeed very confident... Who gave him such confidence?
If it was just to promote Li Chengzhi, how could they possibly hire two lieutenants and one minister? They really just wanted to trick the emperor into talking about selling ice.
But let’s look at it now: Why bother questioning the emperor?
Call Li Chengzhi and you will know...
Liu Fang and Cui Guang all bowed down: "I obey your order!"
Cui Liang was stunned: Isn't this what they discussed when they came?
The emperor made it clear that he didn't want to say more because he was afraid that Gao Zhao would think too much. Gao Ying said with a smile: "I have a private matter that I would like to ask my uncle for help. If there is anything wrong, please follow me to Zhaoyang Palace first!"
Gao Zhao's heart was moved, he lowered his head and said: "I obey your order!"
