Wang Xin couldn't help but take a breath of cold air when he heard the question asked by Li Min, King of Liang.
Can I say no to this question?
Seeing that he was hesitating, Li Min didn't give him any time to react and asked directly: "Wang Yushi, just answer, yes or no?"
"yes!"
In the end, Wang Xin had to grit his teeth and answer "yes".
He really didn't dare to answer no. If you want to say that the Tang Dynasty is not more stable and prosperous, isn't this asking for death?
Hearing Wang Xin's answer, Li Min couldn't help but smile and said: "Since you answered yes, it proves that the dragon energy in Chang'an City has not been destroyed, but has become stronger. Then why are you impeaching me?"
At this time, the civil and military officials in the court couldn't help but cheer in their hearts when they saw that Li Min, the king of Liang, had stumped Wang Xin with just one question and a few words.
Cheng Yaojin and other old guys even gave a thumbs up.
In the previous confrontations with this group of civil servants, apart from winning directly with direct action, they had never won a single quarrel.
This victory was really flattering for them.
At this time, Wang Xin said: "King Liang, when you were digging the canal, did you ever think that this flood might destroy the entire city of Chang'an!"
In fact, Li Shimin was also dissatisfied with Li Min regarding this.
It is for this reason.
It's okay now, the water is only above my knees.
But haven't you ever thought about what to do if the city of Chang'an is flooded? What if even the palace is washed away?
At that time, where will the majesty of the royal family be?
How serious the consequences will be?
Li Min, after hearing Wang Xin's question, smiled slightly and said: "Before the canal was opened, I had already calculated that after the canal was opened, the water would not reach the knees. Because of this, I
The king will order his soldiers to dig ditches."
Hearing Li Min's words, Wang Xin couldn't help but said angrily: "You lied! How could you possibly calculate such a huge amount of water? You were clearly gambling. You didn't take the people in Chang'an City or even the palace into consideration at all."
inside."
Hearing this, Li Min couldn't help laughing and said: "At that time, the flow rate of the river was seven feet and two feet per moment, the river was one foot and three feet deep, and the number of cubic meters passing through per second was one hundred and thirty-five. The width of the canal was
The cross-sectional area is 5.4, the angle between the river and the channel is 47 degrees, and the amount of river water that can pass through each moment is..."
All kinds of data blurted out from Li Min's mouth, and all the civil and military officials in the entire hall were stunned.
Is this all true? Can the flow rate of water really be calculated like this?
For more than a quarter of an hour, they only listened to Li Min rattling off various data. The final value was that the water in Chang'an City would never reach knee high.
Finally, Li Min concluded: "In exchange for the knee-deep water in Chang'an City, in exchange for the lives of tens of thousands of people outside the city, Wang Yushi, tell me what choice we should make?"
"this--"
By this time, Wang Xin didn't dare to speak carelessly.
The key is that he is really not proficient in arithmetic.
Not only him, but also Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji and other civil servants were included, and they couldn't even understand the calculation method Li Min just said.
But it always feels so awesome.
If Li Min really had calculated it in advance, then their impeachment would not be established.
Seeing that Li Min had passed this level, a minister of Hubu couldn't help but said: "Prince Liang, I am the minister of Hubu. I am proficient in arithmetic. But I have never heard that I can calculate what you said through arithmetic."
Those values, so you are simply quibbling."
Hearing what the minister said, Li Min couldn't help but smile and said: "You can't, that's because you are stupid! How much do you know about arithmetic?"
The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, however, was not annoyed and smiled slightly and said: "Since King Liang is so confident in his arithmetic, I would like to ask King Liang about the accounts of the Ministry of Revenue for the past three years. I wonder how long it will take for His Highness to be able to do so."
Calculated?"
The Ministry of Accounts recently cleaned up three years of accounts. Because the data was huge and the calculations were cumbersome, the Ministry of Accounts set up a special accounting department. It took half a year and it was just calculated recently.
But this time, the Minister of Revenue was actually posing a problem for Li Min.
Although both are arithmetic, there is a difference between settling accounts and pure arithmetic.
This minister of household department wanted to use the difficulties of their household department to make things difficult for Li Min.
Hearing the words of the Minister of Household Affairs, Li Min smiled slightly and said: "As long as we find those classmates from elementary school, I believe that half a month will be enough."
What?
Just half a month?
snort!
What a loud tone!
Hearing Li Min's words, the Minister of the Ministry of Accounts couldn't help but feel elated, and couldn't help but say: "Well, if King Liang can really settle the accounts of my Account Department for three years in half a month, it will prove that His Highness is really amazing in arithmetic."
, His Highness has already calculated all of this."
"Otherwise, it can only mean that His Highness does not care about the life and death of the people in Chang'an City! When the time comes, His Highness will be severely punished! Has His Highness thought about it and really dares to agree?"
Hearing this, Li Min couldn't help laughing and said: "This is natural. However, if I can really calculate it within half a month, does that mean that you are falsely accusing a prince? By then,
Do you want to punish your sins as well?”
"this--"
"Okay! If His Highness can really calculate it within half a month, we are willing to be punished!"
Seeing Li Min agreeing so happily, Li Shimin couldn't help but shook his head.
I still felt in my heart that Li Min shouldn't have agreed so quickly.
Now, there is simply no room for regret.
…
On the second day, Li Min pulled over all his classmates from the elementary school.
When those students learned that in the next half month, they would help Li Min calculate the accounts of the Ministry of Accounts for three years, they felt both excited and nervous.
The exciting thing is that they can also do great things.
The nervous thing is, what if they can't finish it?
Among these classmates, there were also those who could not deal with Li Min, such as Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu.
But even the two of them don't want to hold Li Min back now.
Because they are reprimanded every day and they also want to prove themselves.
Then, Li Min stood in front of them and said with a smile: "Actually, calculating the accounts is very simple. Come on, next, I will give each of you a pen, and you will make a table, and then put the numbers in order.
Fill in this form. After everything is listed, just start the calculation."
