Li Shan has been very busy recently. While waiting for a reply from Chang'an, he is also preparing for various matters in advance, such as making wine. In name, he has to wait for Li Shimin's reply and obtain permission from Jingzhao Du Family, but in fact Li Shan doesn't care.
, at worst, change the name.
What Yu Hu Chun?
I am obviously Erguotou!
In addition, Li Shan is also busy teaching...but this time it is not medical skills, but arithmetic.
Various rumors about Li Shan have spread all over Dai County. Those local tribes despise medical skills and cannot learn poetry, but they choose arithmetic... This is a very useful tool, whether it is managing a family
It is useful for taking care of common affairs or serving as an official.
After being invited by many people, Li Shan started teaching out of desperation. The students were basically the children of the local powerful tribes. Of course, they were all nominally the personal bodyguards of the acting county magistrate.
However, if you want to learn arithmetic, you also have to pay tuition... Those who are not clear-headed will send money in private, and those who are smart will ask in private.
As for the one who sent you ten pieces of dried meat...that's completely senseless!
In Li Shan's plan, these powerful families are very useful... When He Lou Ziqian visited Longxi, the He Lou family and his in-laws Liu family all moved to Longxi. There were many people in the family who were good at looking at horses and raising horses, such as
The Zhang family in the southern part of Dai County rose to prominence in their early years by gradually accumulating wealth by doing business with Yunzhou.
At dusk, after a tiring day, he returned to the post house. He looked around and saw no one. Li Shan was stunned for a while before he remembered that Mrs. Zhou had said early in the morning that the house would be completed today and he should have moved there.
Go out from the side door and walk half a circle. On the back of the post house, on a large open space, are three red brick mansions side by side. There are single entrances on the left and right for the living of the guards. There are two entrances in the middle and two entrances in the front.
Office, living room in the back.
Li Shan didn't pay much attention to the construction of the house. The shape is a bit strange, which has the characteristics of this era, but it also shows Li Shan's handiwork in Zhujiagou. The most typical thing is that the roof... is actually flat.
"Is it leaking?"
"Mr. Lang is back." Mrs. Zhou greeted her at the door of the back courtyard, "Mr. Lang is so ingenious and he really didn't miss anything."
Li Shan entered the house and looked up, and couldn't help but chuckle. The craftsman must have been worried, so he actually built a two-layer roof. The top was flat, and there was also a roof made of tiles to simulate leaking rain.
Not long ago, Li Shan discovered a piece of limestone, which happened to have a coal mine and a high-temperature brick kiln. He came up with the idea and tried to burn cement... He tried many times before he managed to succeed, but it was of no use.
Paving the road... this requires a lot of resources, and Li Shan himself felt that there was not enough here and there.
Construction... The cement buildings of later generations will need steel bars as the framework. Where can you get steel bars in this era? Don't say you don't know how to get them. Even if you get them, you won't be able to use them here.
Finally, after thinking about it again and again, Li Shan simply had someone build a roof like this... not for anything else, just for the sake of feelings. I remember when I was in elementary school and junior high school, my neighbor who went out to work had a roof like this when he built a new house.
Very convenient.
After walking around in a circle, Li Shan nodded with satisfaction and entered the inner room. He smelled a faint fragrance. Xiao Man was holding an incense ball to incense the bedding. Mingguang Armor was hung neatly on the hanger beside him...
Xiaoman understands this best.
"Mr. Lang." Xiaoman jumped off the bed and hugged Li Shan's arm. "It took so long to complete. I really feel wronged, Mang."
Li Shan responded casually. He originally wanted to wait until everything on the personal guard side was completed, but Ma Zhou persuaded him not to be too deliberate... This guy really has a bad mouth. If anything is too deliberate or too gentle, I'm afraid.
Everyone was shocked.
Why are you scared?
Just like when Wu Qi suffered from gangrene in the Spring and Autumn Period, the soldiers and their mothers were frightened... My son must die.
Turning to the next door and taking a look, Li Shan suddenly turned his head and glanced at Zhou. Now he had a place. Being a monk for such a long time was finally over!
During this period of time, the three of them slept on the same bed. Li Shan didn't care about flying, but Zhou was so thin-skinned that he couldn't keep his face in front of Xiaoman, and Xiaoman... couldn't do it for the first time.
Just fly?
"Where's the old horse?"
"Sir lives in the outer courtyard." Zhou said softly, "He has come back."
During this period of time, Ma Zhou was not too busy. Li Shan said that many things would be directly explained to the following, and some things... Li Shan did not explain the follow-up arrangements thoroughly, so Ma Zhou returned to a leisurely pace of life.
Until a few days ago, Li Shan started teaching arithmetic.
At first Ma Zhou was dismissive because he had learned "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", but then he was quickly humiliated by Li Shan. He sat in class every day and studied obediently, even though he was convinced.
"There are chickens and rabbits in a cage today. There are thirty-five heads on top and ninety-four legs on the bottom. What are the sizes of the chickens and rabbits?"
Li Shan heard this sentence as soon as he entered the door, made an equation in his mind, and blurted out: "Twenty chickens have three, rabbits have twelve."
Ma Zhou's lips trembled, "Have you read "Sun Zi Suan Jing"?"
"No, what is that?"
"That……"
"It's easy... uh..." Li Shan huffed for a long time before saying, "You haven't learned this yet."
"That……"
"Learning from Lingnan."
"Is it what I learned from Lingnan again?"
"Yeah." Li Shan also felt that this excuse was exhausted, and after thinking for a while, he added: "Hu people also have people who are proficient in arithmetic."
Ma Zhou sighed and stopped asking. Anyway, in the eyes of the world, and in his eyes... they were completely two different people!
"Today I will teach you the radius..." Ma Zhou suddenly asked again: "What do you want to do?"
Li Shan asked Xiaoman outside the door to fetch a disc and demonstrated it to Ma Zhou.
Ma Zhou had a foundation in arithmetic and quickly figured it out. He raised his head suddenly, but his voice dropped, "You want to measure the entire county's fields?"
Li Shan smiled. The guy in front of him really couldn't see the elegance of the prime minister in white clothes in history, but he knew the subtleties and could leave a name for future generations even without Li Shimin.
This tape measure did not come out until the Ming Dynasty. It is the most useful for measuring land. It came out when Zhang Juzheng reformed the measure of the world's fields... Indeed, Li Shan was preparing to measure the fields of Dai County.
In this country, for thousands of years, land has always been the most valued production resource from emperors to common people. Thousands of years of fighting, war, division, and reunification have all been based on land.
When measuring land, whether it is small or large...the key is that all the noble families in the world must be naturally vigilant about this.
Unknowingly, beads of sweat broke out on Ma Zhou's forehead, and he thought of Cui Bo's head hanging on his neck.
Li Shan could understand that measuring the world's land was absolutely impossible in an era when clans were prevalent.
The last time the world's land was measured on a large scale was by Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty. At that time, the clan system had not yet become popular in the world.
The next large-scale measurement of the world's land was Wang Anshi's square field equalization tax law in the Song Dynasty. At that time, the clan system had been disintegrated, but even so, Wang Anshi's end was there.
Li Shan glanced at Ma Zhou, who was gradually calming down. The guy also realized that he would not be so stupid.
The purpose of measuring the fields in Dai County was to coordinate with the subsequent series of actions... Of course, Li Shan also had other intentions, but it was just not time to mention them yet.
