Chapter 467: Princess Yongle
Hearing the servant's words, Emperor Chu said, "Xuan!"
Xiao Ruxue also stepped aside, stood behind the Xian King's seat, and looked towards the door.
At the entrance of the imperial study room, a doctor of mathematics came in from the outside, and behind him were two servants carrying a screen.
On the screen is not a gorgeous pattern, but a detailed topographical map of Chu, where the mountains and lakes are clearly marked.
These terrains were recorded all the way through the visits sent by the imperial court, and they were drawn into maps with joint efforts.
Every time the topographic map is changed, a lot of manpower and material resources are spent behind it.
The doctor of arithmetic cupped hands bowed and said: "I refer to Your Majesty, Prince, and Princess Yongle."
The virtuous king didn't say a word, it doesn't matter how the brothers fight in private on weekdays, whenever there are courtiers present, the virtuous king still gives this Little Brother Face very much.
The Emperor Chu waved his hand after sitting on the case, "Be flat."
The doctor of mathematics straightened up and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The Emperor of Chu said: "I ordered Aiqing to calculate the food and supplies and the deployment of ordnance, but Aiqing has a result?"
Chu State and Zhou State hadn't fought for more than ten years. This time, Zhou State was coming in such a way that they should use the fastest speed to transport food, grass, military pay, etc. to the border.
The doctor of mathematics said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the prince, the minister and the colleagues of the Imperial College have calculated for three days, and slightly improved the route for transporting food, grass and military equipment in the past. If we take this road, we can save more than 600 miles. When you reach the border, you can also save 20,000 taels of silver on the way."
The soldiers and horses went ahead without moving the food and grass, and the team that transported the heavy food and grass was burning money every day. If they could reach the border earlier, they could spend less money.
Now the imperial court is not rich, and the national inventory can save a little silver. If there is a closer way to transport food, grass and military equipment, every time the military equipment is transported, the imperial court can save 20,000 taels of silver. Numbers, if this way works, the Guozijian Computing Department really has a lot to do.
The Guozijian Ph.D. in computing is also secretly delighted. If this plan is adopted by the court, he will have made a lot of contributions, and he will be promoted to a noble position just around the corner!
The Emperor of Chu looked at the King Xian with a happy face and asked, "Brother Huang, do you think this road is feasible?"
Before Xian Wang could speak, Xiao Ruxue, who was behind Xian Wang, took the lead and said, "No! Father, uncle, you can't walk this way!"
Hearing Xiao Ruxue's voice behind him, King Xian asked, "Oh? Why can't you walk this way? Xueer tell me."
Seeing the objection of the lawless little princess, the doctor of mathematics quickly bowed and said, "The minister's calculation is absolutely correct. This road can save the court twenty thousand taels of silver. Please think again, the prince and the princess."
Xiao Ruxue walked over, pointing to the improvement road and said: "Although this road shortens the distance to the greatest extent, it chooses more valleys and trails to travel. Such roads are generally rough and rugged. If it rains, it will be muddy and difficult to walk. If you just pass by pedestrians, you will naturally take the road mentioned by the doctor of mathematics. However, there are a lot of things such as food, grass and luggage, and the progress is slow. If you give up the smooth and easy official road, If we take the path instead, although the distance is shortened on the calculation paper, can it really be like this in actual travel?”
"The doctor only considers saving the distance, but ignores the actual situation and blindly diverts the route. How is it different from Zhao Kuo who is talking on paper?"
After saying this, the Emperor Chu woke up suddenly. He was only thinking about saving money, but he ignored the facts. If he really ordered a diversion, if it rained heavily halfway, the carts and horses transporting the food and grass would be stuck in the muddy path. .
How can it be possible to encounter sunny days every day when the baggage is traveling all the way?
Xian Wang looked at his daughter with eyes full of approval.
But the Ph.D. in mathematics quickly knelt down on the ground: "I just calculated according to the existing blueprints, but the markings on the blueprints show that although it is a mountain road, it is enough for cars and horses to pass. As for the road conditions, I really don't know. The minister is dedicated to the imperial court, and has no other intentions, and I ask your majesty to learn from it!"
Chu Huang looked at the doctor of mathematics and said in a deep voice: "The Guozijian Mathematical Department is eager for quick success and instant benefits, and does not consider the actual road conditions. Fortunately, Xueer corrected the big mistake in time, and ordered the Guozijian Mathematical Department to fine all the doctors for half a year, and let me think about my mistakes. go!"
The doctor of the Imperial Regulatory Department knelt on the ground, and heard His Majesty's words, although his body trembled, but fortunately, he was only fined for half a year, and he had never been severely punished, so he quickly said: "Your Majesty will accept the order to thank you."
Xiao Ruxue pointed to the original road marked for transporting grain and grass, and asked thoughtfully: "Father, is this the road for transporting grain, grass, and luggage in the past?"
King Xian nodded and said: "Of course it is. No matter whether it is the luggage or the army, Da Chu has traveled for decades and has never made a mistake."
Xiao Ruxue pointed to another place and said: "There is obviously a shorter road. If you go from here and pass through Qingzhou, Yunzhou and other places, although you can't save more than 600 miles, you can still save 400 miles. Save a lot of money."
[Old rules, place names are not brought into reality]
King Xian stood up from his seat after hearing this, walked to Xiao Ruxue, looked at the road drawn by Xiao Ruxue, and said in surprise: "Xue'er, how did you find this road?"
Xiao Ruxue shook her head and said, "I don't need to look for it. The National Chamber of Commerce's business is spread all over Dachu, so it is inevitable to deliver goods to the surrounding state capitals. This is the caravan route from the National Commercial Institute to the border state capitals. A month ago, the National Chamber of Commerce sent caravans to Zhou and Zhao, and the caravans going to Zhou took this route."
"By the way, there is also a baggage route leading to Zhao State, which can save at least four hundred miles. Let's go from here..."
As she said that, Xiao Ruxue traced the route with her fingers.
How do you say that she is also the vice president of the National Chamber of Commerce, is it strange to know this?
When she is a vase princess raised by other princes in the fief?
She knows a lot!
hum~
Xian Wang looked at the two paths pointed out by his daughter, and suddenly there was a buzz in his mind. He had already seen the clues of the improvement plan of the Doctor of Computing of the Imperial College just now, and his daughter could also see it. It proves that his daughter is born smart. !
But the plan my daughter just gave really shortened the transportation route!
How much money did Chu State throw away for nothing on the road in the past?
To be honest, he didn't feel so distressed when the money was stolen by corrupt officials.
Because of the embezzled money, at worst he would find out, and he could still get it back after copying several houses.
But those who are wasted on the road will never come back anyway!
Damn it's Guozijian!
Are there a bunch of wine bags and rice bags in it? !
But fortunately, it is not too late to remedy the situation.
When Chu Huang heard this, he looked at the doctor of mathematics who was kneeling on the ground, and his face was full of anger.
The Guozijian's math is not as good as the Guoshangyuan.
The Ministry of Households is not as profitable as the National Chamber of Commerce in making money from auditing accounts.
The ability of the Ministry of Officials to select talents is still not as good as that of the National Chamber of Commerce.
The Criminal Ministry's investigation of cases and formulation of laws is also not as good as the National Chamber of Commerce, and even requires the president of the National Chamber of Commerce to give lectures in person.
All of them are not as good as the National Chamber of Commerce.
What is the use of these six volumes? !
