One thousand one hundred and eighty-fifth section shame
After a moment, a piece of white paper was placed in front of Zhang Ji.
When Zhang Ji took it over and took a look, he saw that it was full of ghost symbols and a bunch of numbers like 1234, which made his eyes hurt and his head swell.
Zhang Ji didn't recognize any of the ghost-drawing symbols.
But those numbers were very familiar to him.
Nowadays, many grassroots officials no longer like to use words like 1234 to mark the sequence.
They began to use the number 1234 created by the Mohists to mark the order.
What's more, some people use so-called punctuation marks to break up sentences and chapters.
Zhang Ji couldn't bear to see this and also sneered at it.
How can we be careless about words?
If you all act the way you do, do you still need the system and etiquette of the sages and kings?
Of course, the most important thing is that these inconspicuous things are so simple that ordinary people who have never studied or understand any principles can use them skillfully.
This is sin!
If all the mud-legged people understand culture, what will the scholar-bureaucrats do?
Do you still want to show off?
this is the key of the problem!
Therefore, Zhang Ji only glanced at it and said: "Play the piano randomly! Is there anyone who writes equations like this?"
Regardless of whether these ghost symbols and numbers are real equations.
Even if it is true, we must not admit it!
Otherwise, wouldn't something as elegant as this equation, a patent of scholar-bureaucrats, become something that the general public can learn from?
If things continue like this, the country will no longer be a country!
However, the craftsman opposite Zhang Ji calmly handed over a piece of white paper again: "If you are not used to it, you can take a look at this one!"
Zhang Ji took it over and looked at it, and his expression suddenly changed.
It is indeed an equation, and it is a standard equation created by Wenhou of Beiping.
His words said: This rate was originally calculated as an equation, and each was named one Tiejing. Later, the method was seven hundred and twenty-one, and the actual number was seventy-six, which was seven hundred and twenty-one and seventy-six Tiejing, and used The number of catches is determined by law. The number of catches in a well is determined by the number of catches. Therefore, seven hundred and twenty-one is the depth of the well, and seventy-six is the length of the drawstring. , give a good example!
Zhang Ji raised his head and looked at the craftsman opposite him.
He has a rough appearance, his face is full of smoke, and his hands are covered with calluses.
But it was such a person who solved his problem in an instant.
Moreover, it can use the most orthodox equation solving method to describe its problem-solving ideas!
horrible!
Can any craftsman solve such a difficult problem?
So what else do we scholar-bureaucrats do?
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Ji shook his head in his heart. He refused to believe that craftsmen could do this.
"The arithmetic question is just an introduction!" Zhang Ji snorted arrogantly, with a straight face, no longer caring about the demeanor of a scholar-bureaucrat or the demeanor of a noble prince.
He knew that if he were defeated by a craftsman in the Xuanshi Palace today in full view of these ministers.
Then, he will be too embarrassed to go out in the future!
Even our ancestors will be shamed!
"Please listen to my question again!" Zhang Ji, who was furious, thought for a moment and asked another question.
This time, he showed no mercy.
He directly used a unique trick, a topic that only high-ranking officials would study.
A question about the distribution of manpower.
The general meaning is that there are XX people in County A who can transport XX stones and materials every day, and they can transport XX miles every day. County B, C, D, and Wuxu each have relevant people to transport related materials and walk on the same road. These six counties will have to transport XX materials this year. The total amount of grain transferred to the imperial court is XX, and the transfer points designated by the imperial court are all the same distance from each other. I want to ask how to use the most economical method to transfer the grain, and at the same time, give the transfer points for each county. The amount of grain and grass.
This is a real problem.
Historically, those who have mastered the method to solve this kind of problem have been senior officials of the country, at least they can serve as county magistrates!
If he were born well, he would be able to gain a foothold in this court!
Zhang Ji originally thought that this question was enough to save his face.
But the truth soon gave him a heavy blow - the craftsman opposite him just spent a little time to reveal the answer and write him the equation to solve the problem!
Zhang Ji was immediately ashamed and annoyed. He could no longer care about his dignity and asked three questions in a row, one of which was even a high-end question that he could not even calculate!
However, the result was still easily solved by the other party!
…………………………………………
Liu Che sat on the throne and looked at the washing utensils with a slight smile on his lips.
Liu Che has full confidence in Grade A masters.
This is because the Grade A master craftsmen of the Shaofu are technical elites selected from hundreds of thousands of Shaofu employees.
They have participated in countless large-scale, demanding, and extremely precise projects.
There is even someone who is the chief designer of the Baoxie Road project.
Would such a person not understand mathematics?
Are you kidding me?!
More importantly, although their status is relatively low, it is outside.
Within the Shaofu, these master craftsmen are all number one in their respective fields.
Under the Chinese social model, a big boss in an industry will naturally have the authority to direct and arrange the work of the people below.
And if a person serves as the actual manager and commander of a large workshop with hundreds or even thousands of people all year round.
His level is not much different.
In later dynasties, are there still few high-ranking officials who came from state-owned enterprises but ended up dominating a city or even a province?
In fact, such craftsmen can not only serve as officials, but also become local chief officials!
Of course, in the past, due to limited culture and knowledge, the status of these craftsmen was low and naturally they could not get ahead.
However, after Liu Che came to the throne, he supported the Mohist family, and the Mohist family cooperated with the Shaofu. During the cooperation process, the Mohist culture and knowledge were passed on to countless people.
Among them are these craftsmen.
No bragging, no blackmail.
These thirteen Grade-A masters are now not only number one in their respective fields, but also all of them are intellectuals who have mastered knowledge and culture.
However, their knowledge is different from the knowledge understood by scholar-officials, ministers and nobles.
They basically don't care about Quzi, Jiazi, Mencius and Xunzi, who are also ministers of the Spring and Autumn Period.
What they master is knowledge in mathematical geometry and material structure and smelting.
Therefore, if Zhang Ji were to test them on the classics of any one of the hundreds of schools of thought (even if they were from the Mohist school), they would definitely not be able to answer the question.
But, if it is mathematical geometry, or branch supervision, then haha...
Of course, Liu Che couldn't let his censor Zhongcheng suffer.
That would be too embarrassing.
After all, Zhang Ji represents the face of the Han Dynasty and his face.
It's okay to let Zhang Ji suffer a little and gain experience.
But it would not be fun to have a dignified censor, Zhongcheng, lose his dignity in front of hundreds of officials!
This politics is also about fighting and pulling.
After hitting a stick, you must give a candy!
