Seeing that Mrs. Tai looked sad and happy at the same time, and hearing this old incident being brought up again, Mother Li quickly comforted her: "In short, it is Mrs. Tai's protective heart and Master's benevolent heart that can lead to the best result now."
"Over the years, I have always regarded Yingying as my granddaughter, and Concubine Yu was also very kind to Princess Yongping. Fortunately, Zhang Shou is now healthy and handsome, and lived up to his mother's risk of giving birth to him. Alas, Concubine Yu was very kind to Princess Yongping.
She felt guilty in the countryside, and Jiuniang even had a big quarrel with Jing'er and me. She felt that he should be kept in the house. She was annoyed that my mother and son were ruthless, so she fled to Zhaoming Temple to train with her, and she even refused to see Yingying."
"The Emperor and Jing'er thoroughly checked out Widow Zhang's husband's family and several generations of her ancestors. They also checked the Wen Po and the Wu family as well as the entire street. There was no second pregnant woman or child that day.
She is a scholarly lady. If not for the chaos, she would have been able to take care of her children and become rich, alas."
At this point, Mrs. Tai became angry: "So, don't say that Zhang Shou's disciples are only seventh in the imperial examination, but even the first in the imperial examination, they are worthy of it! The dignified master and disciples of Ge Tai, even a small
Can’t you even get the first place in the small government examination? Those rotten scholars are now clamoring to close the border and not allow foreign scholars to enter. The foreigners are all barbarians. God knows what they are afraid of?"
"Perhaps he was afraid that Emperor Taizu, who had gone on an overseas voyage after abdicating the throne, did not die in that shipwreck, but instead multiplied another branch overseas!"
This time, Mother Li was as silent as a cicada, but she didn't dare to speak anymore.
In the east wing room, Zhang Shou listened to Qi Liang's roughly complete retelling of several articles, and then rubbed his chin thoughtfully while pacing back and forth in the room. However, what surprised him most was that the palace
That arithmetic problem given by Yin.
The depth of a well is not known. If a rope is folded into the well three times, four feet of rope will remain outside the well. If a rope is folded four ways and one foot of rope will remain outside the well, what is the depth of the well?
It turns out that the length of the rope measures the depth of the well!
This question can be said to be as difficult as climbing to the sky for scholars who only read the books of sages, but for people with some brains, it can be said to be easily solved. For modern people, it is even simpler. They can make a one-variable equation, and
Make a list of two-dimensional equations, and you can also draw pictures to solve them...
If during the examination for the junior official, Wangfu Yin suddenly found a new way to take the test and added several arithmetic questions, this can be regarded as the privilege of being the Shuntian Fuyin. Then, in the government examination where he presided over the serious imperial examination, such a sudden appearance
Yao Mozi, is it suitable?
Did Wang Fuyin originally have this intention, or was it someone else who added the question without permission? Is this why Qi Liang ranked seventh in the imperial examination?
Thinking of this, Zhang Shou asked Deng Xiaodai again about the tax figures he came across over the years after arriving at the Yamen House in Shuntian Prefecture. He pondered for a long time. He looked at the anxious Qi Liang and Deng Xiaodai and suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"Xiao Qi, there is a high probability that the rumors about the rankings in the government examination will be lively for a while. I will recite a few articles for you now, and you pay attention to the notes. Xiao Dai, you also come here. I will draw the data you compiled before.
Let me show you the watch."
As Zhang Shou spoke, he began to dictate the article. Qi Liang was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly started to write down. He then came to the other side of the desk, took a piece of paper, and then took a copper paperweight lying horizontally and vertically on the side, and began
Pick up a pen and dip it in ink to draw.
Deng Xiaodai on the side was shocked to see Zhang Shou dictating the article while focusing on drawing, and he was distracted. When he found that those figures were completely different from the plane geometry he had learned from Zhang Shou, he was confused again.
stand up.
While Qi Liang was recording the long sentences he just said, Zhang Shou whispered to Deng Xiaodai: "I taught you tabulation back then, and now this one is a line chart. Well, this is a column chart.
It is relatively intuitive to use this to reflect the tax changes in various counties in Shuntian Prefecture over the past three years. This is called data visualization. Of course, there are more than just this kind of visualization tables. I am just giving an example..."
Although various complex charts in later generations have penetrated into all walks of life, Zhang Shou remembers clearly that in the West, there were simple data tables first, and visual charts such as line charts, pie charts, and column charts became
It was not until the 18th century that William Playfair, who pioneered data visualization and designed a series of charts, gradually entered the stage of history.
Even though Arabic numerals are very simple, the densely packed numerical table can still easily make people dizzy at first glance.
In contrast, line charts and column charts that can see the increase or decrease in values at a glance are actually very useful for court officials who often want to check the population figures of various taxed acres. Even without automated tabulation tools,
But it was used in England in the 18th century, so there's no reason why it can't be used now.
Zhang Shou was dictating an article to Qi Liang and directing watchmaking to Deng Xiaodai when he suddenly heard a loud shout from outside: "Where is that Zhang Shou who pretended to be my brother-in-law? Get out of here!"
Young Master Zhu Er, the second brother in Zhu Ying's mouth, and because Zhang Shou didn't know his specific name, when he usually mentioned such a guy to people other than Zhu Ying, he would simply call him Zhu Er.
At this moment, when he heard the angry shouts outside, he couldn't help but pluck his ears with his little fingers, and then he thought helplessly - this Zhu Er is really good at it!
Of course, he would not think that the Madam had deliberately recruited Zhu Er. If that were the case, she would not have kept him in her own Qing'an Hall. In a place where she could guarantee her authority, how could she let others
Chaos? But now, Zhu Er brazenly broke into the Qing'an Hall where his grandmother lived, and told him to get out with such nonsense. It was so stupid!
No wonder that as an upright young master of the Duke's Palace, Zhu Er could get so poor that he often borrowed money from Zhu Ying...
Seeing Qi Liang and Deng Xiaodai looking at each other, Zhang Shou shrugged and said nonchalantly: "Xiao Qi, keep writing. Xiaodai, please think about these pictures carefully and think about where this kind of thing can be applied."
After saying this, Zhang Shou left the two disciples behind and walked to the door calmly, but he stopped just as he reached the door. Although the "two" of Zhu Ying outside the door was
Brother, people asked him to get out, and he just showed up like this. Doesn't that make him look obedient and at the mercy of others? Knowing that Ah Liu was outside the door, Zhu Er couldn't get in no matter how aggressive he was, so he stood quite calmly.
The next moment, he heard a slight sneer coming from outside the door: "I wonder who in the family has such great authority. It turns out that Erlang came to my Qing'an Hall to put on airs."
As the most senior wife in the house, this was a very serious statement. However, Zhang Shou didn't know whether Zhu Er had drunk wine, broken a jar, or had some other credentials. Not only did he not immediately
He quit, or knelt down to beg for mercy, but his voice became louder.
"Ancestor, I know you have always disliked my useless grandson, but there are some things I still want to say! I am jealous that Yingying is the apple of your and daddy's eye. She gets everything she wants, but I don't have anything to ask for.
I envy my eldest brother for taking charge of the army at such a young age and leading troops to fight... But I know myself well, and if I don’t have the skills, then I’ll just mess around!"
"But now one of my father and eldest brother has been impeached, and there is no news after the other simply led the army to go to war. At this time, I want to find a suitable family for Yingying. What's wrong? The pig head of the Lu family is not good-looking.
He has no ability, but he promised to move out when he gets married in the future, so that Yingying doesn’t have to be a low-key and work as a cow or horse for her mother-in-law. How many men in the capital are willing to agree to this alone? "
