At this time, Yingtian Prefecture is the time when flowers bloom in February.

As the saying goes, people are diligent in spring and are busy harvesting in autumn. Most of the people have started to work among the fields outside Yingtianfu City. Wang Chusi also carried a hoe to work in the fields, working very hard.

Because this opportunity to farm is really hard-won, let alone his own land! Since Emperor Zhu came and drove away the Yuan people, every household filled in household registration, made booklets and distributed land. The land was no longer owned by the landlord, but by his own.

The most important thing is that the taxes paid every year are much less than those during the Yuan Dynasty. During the Yuan Dynasty, although the taxes seemed to be very low on the surface, those who collected taxes benefited from both sides. The Yuan court paid one, and the people collected ten! Like before, all the things planted in the fields were paid, and they still owed taxes. They really watched the whole family starve to death and had no choice.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, although there have been too many taxes on the surface, the amount of taxes is as much as you say. Who dares to collect more taxes? The emperor really stripped them of their skins and stuffed them up. Now there is a man hanging from the door of the government office. He is the former county magistrate. He has been in office for less than two years. Because of the excessive taxes, his life is gone. Everyone who mentions it will applaud!

With hope this day, I work harder.

Wang Chusi was working, but he saw a group of soldiers riding horses surrounded by two young men to the foot of Zijin Mountain. The group was carrying two long poles, and they didn't know what they were for. There were many ordinary people following behind him who were watching the fun. The busy farmers in the farmlands around him gathered to see what they were doing.

Wang Chusi also put down his work and followed him to watch the fun. He just looked at the two young men, dressed differently from others. After a closer look, Wang Chusi was so scared that he was almost unable to hold his hoe. Then someone else whispered:

"Oh, those two people are wearing dragons?"

The person next to him was shocked when he heard this, but someone who knew the goods explained:

"That's called python, and what about four claws."

"Then they are princes!"

"It's amazing!"

The common people said from afar that Wang Chusi didn't understand these things, but since he was a prince, he must be an amazing person. The dragon gave birth to dragon and phoenix gave birth to phoenix, and the emperor gave birth to the son, which is not bad.

Wang Chusi thought about this in his heart, and saw someone running back in front of him, and said with an excited expression:

"Do you know what these two princes are? Are you here to do something?"

When the others saw that the man seemed to know something, they hurriedly urged him to say it quickly, and the man took a sip of water and said:

"I just found out that the taller one is the third son of today, the current King of Liao. He is here to test how tall the Purple Gold Mountain is!"

Wang Chusi was shocked when he heard this and said:

"How high is the mountain? How to measure it? Does His Highness the King of Liao have to drill into the mountain to measure it?"

The other people were also happy when they heard this and said:

"Oh, that's a magical power."

"I'm afraid it's not a god?"

"It may also be just talking casually and going out for an outing."

The common people said this, but their hearts were the same as Wang Chusi. They all wanted to see how His Highness the King of Liao measured the height of the Purple Gold Mountain?

……………………

Zhu Qi didn't know that the people watching the fun gathered behind him were talking about the high mountain surveying and mapping.

After all, he could not hear it even if he was far away. He came over openly, not a confidential matter. It was impossible to keep it confidential, and he did not drive away the people. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang was different from other emperors. If their prince went out and drove away the people, he would definitely be beaten up. Moreover, with Zhu Qi's temperament, it was impossible to drive away the people.

Seeing that the location was similar, Zhu Qi began to arrange his subordinates and start surveying and mapping work.

First, I put down the first benchmark and put down the second benchmark through a thousand steps.

Then start from the first benchmark and gradually retreat until the highest point of the peak and the highest point of the benchmark overlap in the field of view, mark the position where you stand, and record the distance of the steps you take to retreat.

Starting from the second benchmark, repeat the previous action, confirm that the top of the second benchmark and the highest point of the peak overlap, mark the position you are standing, and also record the number of steps you take to retreat.

The soldiers of the Jinwu Guard were confused when they listened to the orders of His Highness the Liao King, thinking about what they were doing. They set up poles here and retreated, playing with benchmarks from beginning to end. What does it have to do with the mountain high?

They were confused, but they didn't dare to ask too much, so they could only execute the order. Then they saw that His Highness the King of Liao had obtained all the data, and began to write and draw on the ground with a branch, and they couldn't understand the symbols at all.

Zhu Di couldn't understand it either, so he couldn't help asking:

"Brother Third, what are you doing?"

Zhu Qi was doing arithmetic questions and answered casually: "Calculate the numbers."

Zhu Di also learned arithmetic, but he had never calculated like the third brother. Besides, what does these things have to do with the mountains? He wanted to ask again, but Zhu Qi had clapped his hands and threw the wooden stick for writing arithmetic questions aside, and said:

"I'm done, the first mountain is 120 feet high. Let's go and the next mountain!"

Zhu Di was stunned, it was over? Zhu Qi looked at Zhu Di's confused expression and knew that he didn't understand. Using algorithms similar to triangles to calculate mountain heights was not his own. Zhu Qi said openly at this time:

"This is called a similar triangle algorithm. Do you know the heavy difference technique? It's very troublesome to explain it. Let's talk to you slowly. Time is limited. Let's quickly measure the data and then go back to make a sand table."

Zhu Di also responded quickly, and the group of people closed the benchmark, rode their horses and rode their horses to the next mountain.

Only a group of people were left standing there, but someone well-informed still sent back the news quickly, saying that His Highness of the Prince of Liao had already calculated the height of the Purple Gold Mountain!

A group of people hurried over and asked:

"Speak quickly! How much does it count?"

The man said:

"What I heard just now is one hundred and twenty feet tall!"

Most people don’t know how high the mountain is, but after estimating it, it seems that it is about the same as 120 feet. At this time, an old man suddenly shouted:

"I heard from my grandfather that this mountain is really about a hundred feet high!"

Everyone was shocked again. So, is this a perfect match?

"Is that really right? Is that amazing?"

"How did your Highness calculate? He really casts a spell?"

"Your Highness the King of Liao must have cast spells! Look at what Your Highness just wrote and painted, isn't it just a ritual?"

"I guess it was calculated that the time when His Highness's soul left his body, entered the Purple Gold Mountain, and flew from the ground to the top!"

"That's right! It must be like that."

Everyone hurried to the place where Zhu Qi had just written and calculated the numbers. When they saw a bunch of symbols on the ground that they couldn't understand, it confirmed that His Highness the King of Liao used his magical powers and surveyed the height of the Purple Gold Mountain.

Wang Chusi, like others, had a shocked expression on his face, and regarded His Highness the King of Liao as Wenqu Star and a figure full of magical powers. After all, in less than a stick of incense, standing at the foot of the mountain with just a few steps, the matter of calculating the height of the mountain was beyond Wang Chusi's understanding.

Wang Chusi ran home with a hoe. When he saw the god, he quickly told the wife at home!

Our King of Liao knows magical powers!
