I looked at Jia Sidao and saw that he was thoughtful, but I didn't know what he was thinking. I continued: "The Law Department under the former Ministry of Civil Affairs has all been merged into the Government Affairs Council, which means that the legislative authority of our dynasty All will be transferred to the Government Affairs Council. This matter can begin from now on. The move will be completed by the end of this month. Starting from October 1st, the new Department of Law will first conduct a comprehensive review of our country's laws, and then according to specific Differentiating matters. For example, the commerce in our dynasty is much more developed than that in the previous dynasty, but the corresponding laws have never changed accordingly. This gives unscrupulous traders an excuse to evade taxes, so the laws related to business can be Extract the content and then re-perfect it based on the current actual situation. After that, the Department of Law will refine all our laws to adapt to the refinement of social division of labor."
Wen Tianxiang said: "Yes, I obey your order."
Everyone in the Government Affairs Council knows that Wen Tianxiang is a close minister of mine. In addition, Wen Tianxiang himself is talented and upright. Although his seniority in the court is not as high as that of other academicians, everyone basically recognizes Wen Tianxiang's status as the future president of the Government Affairs Council. .
At the north gate of Luzhou, a hundred fully armed guards surrounded Huainan West Road Commander Xia Gui and drove slowly into the city. Luzhou City is not big, and not long after, everyone arrived in front of the commander's mansion in the west of the city. Xia Qing He took Xia Gui's horse rein and said, "Father, handsome, I have been running around for a long time. Let's go back to the back room to rest for a while."
"No, Xia Qing, go to the study room with your father," Xia Gui said cheerfully.
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief," Xia Qing handed the reins of the horse to Xia Ping, captain of the Guards, and followed Xia Gui into the study.
"Xia Qing, come and see the map of Yangjia Town," Xia Gui immediately opened the military map on the table when he arrived in the study and said, "After this field trip, I have a clear understanding of the terrain around Yangjia Town. Although Jiazhen is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Shouchun City on its right is firmly in the hands of our army, so as long as our army cuts off the connection between Yangjia Town and the Mongolian Navy on the Huaihe River, it will become an isolated town."
"Father, our army only needs to launch a surprise attack from the Anfeng Army, let the Shouchun garrison block the communication between Yangjia Town and the Huaihe River enemy, and at the same time let our Shouchun Navy attack the Mongolian Navy on the Huaihe River. The winning rate should be 80% above,"
"That's right, and my father, Commander, I grew up in Anfengjun. The situation there has basically not changed. I am very familiar with the small mountain roads in Yangjia Town, Anfengjun. In addition, the Mongols have always thought that our army only knows how to fight. In the defensive battle, according to the intelligence, the Mongols' defense is not tight, so the battle to capture Yangjia Town and regain the south bank of the Huaihe River will definitely be successful." Xia Gui looked away from the map and said with full confidence, " Xia Qing, please discuss this matter with General Wang Sheng and start taking action after I come back from Lin'an. Also, please keep it confidential, as long as you and Wang Sheng know about it."
"Don't worry, Commander. Father, you need to be very careful when returning to Lin'an this time. Maybe this military reform meeting will be the final showdown between the imperial power and the prime minister's power,"
Xia Gui's face darkened and he nodded slightly: "Xia Qing, in your opinion, what should we do?"
"Father, this meeting is the time to make a decision. Xia Song and I have frequent contacts with Ouyang Jianqing on weekdays, and we often discuss the current situation in the dynasty. Among the younger generation of generals, most of them Most people will choose to support His Majesty the Emperor. Everyone has a common view, that is, our country should regain the Central Plains, and the attitude shown by His Majesty the Emperor after he ascended the throne is just in line with the taste of young people, especially His Majesty's instructions in Gongyuan, which have the most influence. The broadest group of people is not those candidates, but the ambitious young generation in the navy and army. Therefore, I feel that my father will definitely act according to His Majesty's will when he returns. Among the four theaters, Lu Wende is the best friend of Xiang Quan's faction. In Sichuan, Gao Gao, General Zhang Jue and Jia Sidao are at odds, and they will definitely support His Majesty. However, we still don’t know the attitude of General Li Tingzhi of Yangzhou. Although General Li was promoted by Jia Sidao, he should be on the side of the prime minister, but other He is introverted, low-key, and upright, so it is difficult to guess the attitude of the Yangzhou Army. I estimate that it is more likely to remain neutral. If so, then the vote of our Luzhou Army is crucial. , and this vote may ultimately determine whether the military reform can proceed smoothly. Furthermore, it is the key to determining whether the imperial power can stand firm in the military world. Therefore, Commander-in-Chief Father must think carefully. On the surface, Commander-in-Chief Father We are very close to Prime Minister Quan, and Jia Sidao will definitely win over our Luzhou Army. However, this world belongs to the Zhao family after all. Unless Jia Sidao and his party want to rebel, then that is a different matter, otherwise no matter what Stand on the side of the Emperor and use this vote as a certificate to express your sincerity to the Emperor."
After hearing this, Xia Gui said nothing and paced back and forth in the room. Xia Qing knew that his father was making a decision, so he said nothing, made a pot of hot tea, and left.
"Then again, Jia Sidao is not too kind to himself," Xia Gui said alone in the room.
Many of the generals who were at the same time as Xia Gui were persecuted by Jia Sidao. The existing general Gao Dao was lucky enough to have Song Lizong save his life, but the general Xiang Shibi and his like were unwilling to join the ranks of Jia Sidao. , left with injustice, Xia Gui was able to become the deputy commander in front of the palace. Although it was due to his military exploits, he was also inseparable from Jia Sidao. Of course, the premise was that Xia Gui had to surrender to Jia Sidao.
Jia Sidao said so, what about the emperor?
"Xia Aiqing, I can rest assured that I will hand over Huainan West Road to you,"
"Xia Aiqing, you need to always remember that you are my general of the Song Dynasty and my minister,"
"Xia Aiqing, I heard that you have two sons. Does Aiqing think that I am keeping one of your sons as a hostage?"
"I will ensure the normal supply of military pay,"
Xia Gui suddenly remembered the scene when the emperor summoned him before the expedition. Judging from this conversation, the emperor seemed to be pretty good to him. However, Xia Gui felt that the young emperor was too deep in the palace and he could not see through it. It was not as if he was in front of him. When talking to Jia Sidao, Xia Gui could know what he was thinking and what he wanted.
Many people in the court were spreading rumors, "Your Majesty, you are a man of God." What should you do when faced with such a man of God?
Xia Gui drank a cup of hot tea and started walking around the room again.
"Imperial power, prime minister power, neither party can be offended by me. Do you want to be a centrist? Although you can be safe for the time being, the future of the Xia family may be here. What should you do and how should you choose?"
Xia Gui kept thinking in his mind, "Imperial power, prime minister's power, prime minister's power, imperial power,"
Xia Qing, who was standing outside the study, didn't know how long she had been waiting. The door finally opened, and Xia Gui's rich voice sounded: "Xia Qing, it's time for dinner,"
In the past few days, I have held meetings with relevant departments on the seven major reform measures to be implemented in September. At the meeting, I specified the completion time and specific person in charge of each task for each department, and the top leaders of each department personally Supervision.
On the night of Lin'an in September, the breeze blew by, already making people feel a bit cool.
In the imperial study room, I first reviewed the voting results of the Government Affairs Council for officials from Fujian and Jiangxi provinces. Based on the number of votes, I drew up the final list of officials. It was basically the same as I expected in advance. The original two-way transfer envoys and mention points All the prisoners are retained, and I don’t want to know who belongs to which faction among them.
Quan Jiu put a cloak on me and said: "Guan family, Quan Jie came to see Jiu'er this afternoon and said that recently a scholar who applied for a job came to Lin'an University. He is very proficient in mathematics. Oh, by the way, This booklet is the work of that scholar, called "Algorithms for Daily Use". After reading it, Quanjue and many professors at the university agreed that it was a masterpiece about mathematics, but they didn't fully understand it, so they came here specifically Ask the officials for advice,”
"Really? There are still such mathematical talents in our country,"
I took the manual handed over by Quan Jiu and saw the seven characters written on it, Volume 1 of Daily Algorithms, written by Yang Hui.
"Yang Hui, Yang Hui triangle," I exclaimed.
"Does the official know this person?" Quan Jiu was startled by my call.
I didn't know if Yang Hui was the discoverer of Yang Hui's triangle. After all, the name was too common. I didn't answer. I immediately opened the book "Daily Algorithms" and read it carefully. Halfway through, I was able to confirm that this People should be the ones who manifest the Yang Hui triangle.
"Jiu'er, when you were cleaning up the books in Xianwen Pavilion, did you see this book named Yang Hui?"
Quan Jiu thought for a while and said: "The official family, the books in the Xianwen Pavilion have not been sorted out yet. From the books that have been compiled so far, it seems that Yang Hui's works have not been seen."
There are so many books in the Xianwen Pavilion that Quan Jiu and others cannot clear them all so quickly, and the late emperor Lizong's collection may not contain similar mathematics books.
"Xiaoqi,"
"The little one is here,"
"Go to Xianwen Pavilion and find all the books and materials written by Yang Hui."
"Yes, official family,"
After Xiao Qi left, Quan Jiu said: "Guan family, who is this Yang Hui?"
Students who have studied middle school mathematics all know that Yang Hui's triangle is a geometric arrangement of binomial coefficients in a triangle. Simply put, it is the coefficient problem after raising the power of the sum of two unknown numbers. Yang Hui's triangle is also called Jia Xian Trigonometry, because there is no biography of Jia Xian, a mathematician of the Northern Song Dynasty, in the history books. Fortunately, Yang Hui quoted many of Jia Xian’s mathematical thoughts in his book and carried them forward, so that we can understand Jia Xian’s major contributions to mathematics today. , It can also be seen from this point that Yang Hui has a good character. Plagiarism is common among later generations. We should learn from our predecessors. Yang Hui's triangle is called Pascal's triangle abroad. The French theory is later than Yang Hui's triangle. for nearly 400 years.
According to historical records, Yang Hui was an outstanding mathematician and mathematics educator in the Southern Song Dynasty of China. He was active in Suzhou and Hangzhou in the mid-13th century. He wrote many books. His famous mathematics books totaled five kinds and 21 volumes, including "Detailed Explanations Nine". Chapter Algorithm in twelve volumes (1261), Daily Algorithms in two volumes (1262), Multiplication and Division in Three Volumes (1274), Farmland Analogy Multiplication and Division Algorithm in two volumes (1275), Volume 2 of "The Algorithm of Continuing Ancient Pickings" (1275).
As one of the four great mathematicians of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, Yang Hui was the first mathematician in the world to arrange rich vertical and horizontal diagrams and discuss their composition rules. As for his birth date and other records, it is difficult to find them in later generations. This also reflects the ancient Chinese understanding of Science is not paid enough attention to.
"Yang Hui is a mathematical genius,"
It wasn't until I finished approving the memorial for the day that Xiao Qi ran back to the Imperial Study Room with sweating profusely to report: "The official family, the little one, the little one has not been found."
"Xiao Qi, have you looked for them all?" Quan Jiu asked.
"Go back to your Majesty, I've already looked for you."
"Guan Jia, let's continue looking for Jiu'er tomorrow. Since he is a mathematical genius, his works should be found,"
I said "yes" as an answer.
I couldn't find any information about Yang Hui in Xianwen Pavilion, which I think is normal.
