Su Hao had never thought about being able to become famous by making maps. He had always thought that he was a geological expert, and surveying and mapping was just a side job for him, while prospecting was his main job. Who knew that he might have made a mistake by mistake?
He created a contour map that transcended the times and actually alarmed the Minister of War. Is this an unintentional act?
"Brother Chen, since Wang Shangshu attaches great importance to this map, why has he never heard any instructions from the Ministry of War in the past six months?" Su Hao asked strangely. According to his idea, since Wang Yi'e attaches great importance to his map,
If he is interested, he should be summoned to Beijing. How come he keeps ignoring him?
Chen Dao said with a smile: "In the past six months, the officials of Zifang Division have caused you great harm. Wang Shangshu has ordered the officials of Zifang Division to organize officials to study your cartography method in order to compile an outline of the cartography. Zifang Division
Dozens of officials and scribes worked hard for half a year. Everyone has figured out the essentials of cartography, but no one knows how to measure the elevation of mountains. This time, the Ministry of War has sent me to accompany you to Yunnan.
, I just want to see your surveying and mapping methods with my own eyes. If Jiangxi Dusi’s words are true, you may be transferred to the Ministry of War for reuse."
Su Hao burst out laughing. It turned out that the people in the Ministry of War were not convinced and wanted to figure out the surveying and mapping methods on their own. However, after struggling for half a year, there was no result. The method Su Hao taught to the soldiers in the survey camp was hundreds of dollars.
Gradually formed over the years. Ancient China did not have the concept of trigonometric functions. It is definitely hopeless to develop a set of geodetic technology out of thin air.
The Zifang Division mentioned by Chen Dao, whose full name is Zifang Qingli Division, is the department in the Ministry of War that is in charge of national maps, city gods, towns and cities, camp drills, military examinations, patrols, Guanjin and other affairs. The Ming Dynasty military was very concerned about maps.
Attention, in the 26th year of Hongwu, there was a customization, which required that all key points and dangerous areas across the country should be drawn and submitted to the Ministry of War for record. However, the maps at that time could only mark the location, which could not be compared with Su Hao's proposal.
Compared to the high line map.
"Brother Chen, if you just want to test the surveying and mapping skills of my survey camp, why go to Yunnan? Just find a place and give it a try." Su Hao said casually.
Chen Dao said: "This is the order of the Ministry of War. How can I, a small chief, change it without authorization? However, if it is convenient, Brother Yu would like to see the skills of our brothers in Kanyu Camp in advance. We will stay at the Qiaoshe Inn tonight.
, how about we stay for a day tomorrow and arrange for the soldiers from the survey camp to do a survey and mapping of the surrounding area of Qiaoshe Post to open Brother Yu’s eyes, how about that?”
Chen Dao spoke in an understatement, but Su Hao was slightly shocked. He knew that Chen Dao's suggestion was definitely not a whim, but had been arranged long ago. It was impossible for the Ministry of War to personally send people to lead the team in advance.
There is no need to test the soldiers' ability. If Su Hao is bragging and Kanyu camp can't actually do anything, then wouldn't it become a joke if Chen Dao accompanied them to travel thousands of miles to Yunnan?
As for why there is no need to conduct tests before setting off from Fengcheng, there are reasons. The survey battalion was trained in Fengcheng. If a surveying and mapping exercise is conducted in Fengcheng, the soldiers will be familiar with the surrounding environment, and it will be difficult to reflect the real situation.
On a more level level. Thinking more sinisterly, if Su Hao wanted to cheat and had measured the terrain of Fengcheng in advance, what would Chen Dao be able to test?
Su Hao was not afraid of tests. After half a year of training, especially after conducting field exercises in Luoshan, the surveying and mapping capabilities of the surveying battalion soldiers were completely up to standard. There was no need to worry about any rigorous tests. Su Hao felt a little unhappy.
Yu Chendao was too thoughtful. He pulled out the troops without saying a word before using Su Hao's casual words to elicit the request for a test. This was obviously to guard against Su Hao or Jiangxi Dusi.
This means cheating.
Chen Dao is such a fat guy, he is cheerful and cheerful all day long, and he seems to be quite kind, but he didn't expect that he has so many evil intentions. The Ministry of War sent him to lead the team to Yunnan, and I'm afraid it's not just to help Su Hao and the others lead the team, right?
Su Hao was thinking a lot in his mind, but he didn't show it on his face. Since Chen Dao wanted to fight with him, he would just fight with Chen Dao as well.
"Haha, if Brother Chen wants to see it, I will make arrangements for it tomorrow, which will be just in time for the soldiers to warm up. I just wonder if spending a day in the woodcutter will violate the orders of the Ministry of War." Su Hao said.
Chen Dao said: "It's not war time now. The mobilization of the army will not delay time. To be honest, this inspection is just an excuse for Brother Yu. In fact, Brother Yu is a northerner and is not used to boats.
It’s bumpy, I want to borrow a excuse to have a day off tomorrow.”
Just pretend, Su Hao thought to himself. However, if Chen Dao wanted to pretend, he couldn't expose it, so he could only accompany Chen Dao and talk about him.
In the evening, the fleet arrived at Qiaosheyi, north of Nanchang. Chen Daoling ordered the fleet to dock and anchor. Hao Tong and Deng Kui arranged for several soldiers to stay on the side of the ship to guard the ship and its belongings, and then commanded
The other sergeants lined up to go ashore, and the ten embroiderers who were bored in the cabin also went ashore with everyone, and followed the group to the post house.
The Qiaoshe Posthouse is a small posthouse with not many guest rooms. After discussing with Su Hao, Chen Dao decided to let the soldiers pitch tents in an open space outside the posthouse for the night, while the embroiderers lived in the posthouse. Chen Dao
As officers, he and Su Hao could enjoy the benefits of living in the inn. Chen Dao's entourage and Chen Guanyu, whom Su Hao brought with him, also moved into the inn.
The postmaster's name is Yu Yi. He is a middle-aged man in his 40s, and his manner of speaking is quite polite. But Su Hao can feel that he is polite, but he does not look frightened. Su Hao put this feeling
When he told Chen Dao, Chen Dao laughed and said: "The guests who pass by Shuimayi every day are either rich or noble. Can he take us two sixth-rank officials seriously? Don't change it to a little peace.
That’s what it means to be restless.”
"I see." Su Hao understood. It is true that Yi Cheng's official position is not high, and he is a minor official who has not entered the mainstream. But he has seen countless high-ranking officials. A sixth-grade military officer like Su Hao, in Yi Cheng's
In his eyes, it was really not enough. Chen Dao was a sixth-grade civil servant and a capital official, so he was somewhat of a deterrent to Yu Yi.
The housekeeper took Su Hao, Chen Dao and others to their respective rooms, and brought them water for them to wash up. After the two washed up, they gathered together again with their entourage. Su Hao asked: "Brother Chen
, this inn should be in charge of food, right? I’m really hungry, I don’t know when food will be served.”
Chen Dao said: "Of course the post house has to take care of the food. Let me call Yu Yi to come and ask."
Seemingly knowing that Chen Dao was going to call him, Yu Yi appeared without waiting for Chen Dao to bother. He said to Su Hao and Chen Dao with a smile: "Two adults, I have something to report.
The stove broke down a few days ago, and I have never bothered to ask Dr. Zao to repair it. Therefore, our post cannot supply food for official missions and merchants. If you two adults don't mind, it's not far from the post house.
, there is a Wangjianglou restaurant, the food is very delicious, how about inviting you two adults to have a meal there?"
"What? The stove is broken?" Chen Dao glared and asked, "This is a post house. The stove has been broken for several days. Why don't you find someone to repair it? Is there any reason to let officials go to a restaurant to eat?"
Yu Yi replied calmly: "Mr. Chen, I don't know. There is only one Dr. Zao in my Qiaoshe town. His mother-in-law fell ill a few days ago, and he went back to the countryside to take care of her, so he couldn't find her."
It’s the person who repairs the stove.”
Hearing that the stove was broken, Su Hao almost thought that he knew how to repair the stove. Then he thought, now that he was an official, he was afraid that it would be an insult to his courtesy to help a postman repair the stove with dirty hands.
He said: "Yu Yicheng, since your stove is broken and there is a restaurant nearby, you should go to the restaurant to order some food and serve it to the guests. This is also your duty, right? Let the guests go to the restaurant by themselves, isn't it?
Isn’t it out of character?”
Yu Yi said: "Su Baihu, it's not just the villain who refuses to order the food. It's really the villain who doesn't know what the tastes of the two adults are and is afraid that the food ordered will not be delicious. You two adults can go to the restaurant to have a meal. This meal
The expenses are still paid by our post. The two adults can each pay five liters of rice, and the brothers outside can each pay three liters of rice."
When Su Hao was about to say something more, Chen Dao stopped him and said to Yu Yi: "Yu Yicheng, I'll go have a meal first. You can calculate the amount we should pay. Let's go."
Just pay when you get there.”
"Yes!" Yu Yi said with a slight bow.
Chen Dao pulled Su Hao out of the post station. Su Hao said in surprise: "Brother Chen, why don't you let the postmaster arrange meals for us? Judging from what he meant, he is clearly shirking responsibility."
Chen Dao said with a smile: "Since my brother Gai has seen that he is trying to dodge, why bother forcing others to do something difficult?"
Su Hao said: "This is his responsibility. There is no reason to push him away."
Chen Daodao said: "Everything in this world is full of surprises. There must be a reason for Yu Yicheng to make excuses like this. When you go out, you would rather offend a gentleman than a villain. This Yu Yicheng is just a villain."
"So, could it be that he made up the damage to the stove to deal with us?" Su Hao asked.
Chen Daodao: "In my humble opinion, I'm afraid that's the case. If the stove is broken, could it be that their own postmen don't eat anymore? It must be that Yu Yi doesn't want to receive us, so he made such an excuse."
After hearing what Chen Dao said, Su Hao was helpless. He first went to Hao Tong and Deng Kui and told them to arrange for the soldiers to go to the town to buy rice and vegetables, and then cook and eat when they came back. At the same time, he also specifically told them that they would be housed.
The embroiderers in the inn also sent a meal. After the explanation, Su Hao and Chen Dao went to the Wangjianglou restaurant that Yu Yi had mentioned. Naturally, Chen Guanyu and Yu Yi's two followers were also close.
