There is still a day before the end of the year, and even the poorest families have to re-paste the window paper, and then paste a big blessing word, praying for good weather in the coming year.

On the occasion of the great time of the celebration of the whole world, Ye Hua and Li Shi, with Wang Sanli, came out of the east gate of the capital, along the official road, to the east, among the killings, Ye Hua is either leading the troops to fight outside, or the cat is in the city, and he really hasn't carefully looked at the scenery of the countryside, especially during the New Year, it is lively and lively, festive and auspicious, and it is a unique taste, Ye Hua is greedy and enjoying, very comfortable.

As for Li Shi, his eyes were rolling around, and he was even more enthusiastic than Ye Hua, and it was pitiful to say, when he was a child, because of his identity, he could only hide at home, and no one played with him.

Every time the Chinese New Year, I can only lie on the wall, watch other people's children chase and play, laugh unscrupulously, and when I return to the room, my father is often drunk, crying and scolding, and when he is in a bad mood, Li Xi will be implicated and slapped for no reason.

Later, my father died, and the year became even more boring, even if I wanted to be slapped, there was no place.

Later, his mother also died, and he followed Feng Dao to study hard, and it was ten years in a blink of an eye...... Looking back on his life in the past 30 years, Li Xi almost wanted to cry!

The lonely heart needs a place to put it up.

Because of this, when he heard Emperor Zhou E playing the piano, he couldn't help it, and wanted to have a piece of piano to pick Wenjun. Ye Hua has also thought clearly in the past few days, it's time to solve the lifelong affairs for his senior brother, in case this sullen guy causes something bad, he can't explain to the dead master.

"Senior brother, a few days ago, Yang Ye went to Beijing to report on his work, his wife Zhe went to see his grandmother, the old lady mentioned to me, said that Zhe's sister is good, tall, handsome, and kung fu, just eighteen years old this year, how about it, do you want to get married?"

When Li Shi heard this, his eyes widened, and he said angrily: "I said junior brother, your senior brother is also a scholarly family, you can find me a wild girl, it's too much to say, right?" ”

Ye Hua smiled: "Senior brother, this is yours, you can't find your daughter-in-law in the mirror, what's the point of picking the same as yourself." Look for ...... that complement each other For example, if you marry a girl from the Fold family and give birth to a child in the future, you teach him literary talent, and your mother teaches him martial arts, this child will be both civil and military, what a good thing! ”

Li Xi has indeed been single for too long, and he was actually fooled by Ye Hua's nonsense, so he really thought about it seriously, and said in a muffled voice: "I want to see it with my own eyes, but don't be like a dominatrix!" ”

"Don't worry, the folded family is not ugly!"

Ye Hua said a few words, and gave Li Shi's marriage, because of this, he was scolded by Li Shi for decades, and when he mentioned it to death, Li Xi still gritted his teeth!

Grandma's, Lao Tzu is a ghost, married a man's wife, vinegar jar!

The lady's jealousy is nothing, the problem is that this one can also work hard, and one can beat ten!

Li Xian dared to look at any girl more, and he would be punished for kneeling on the washboard, where their family could use the house, there was absolutely no need for a maid, even if the maid was used, it was like a saltless girl in the painting.

Since Li Xi married his daughter-in-law, he has not even pulled the hands of other women, a dashing Bachelor Li is so suffocated and aggrieved, after a lifetime, in addition to bitter water is tears, then it is a sad heart!

……

Their brothers chatted, Wang Sanli didn't dare to interject, in fact, he really wanted to tell Li Xian, if the master of the academy was willing, he had several younger sisters, all of them were scholarly, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, all of them were fine!

You can take whatever you want, and if you want, marry you all fine!

Wang Sanli was so frightened that he didn't dare to open his mouth, so he naturally missed the opportunity to be Li Shi's brother-in-law, and he lost the shortcut to the end of the south for ten years of struggle.

He had to clamp his tail and carefully pretend to be his grandson.

Ye Hua and his entourage passed through the Champion City and arrived at the Great Zhou School five miles away from the city.

This is the school that Ye Hua paid for and worked hard to build, although the years are not long, but there are many famous teachers here, the strongest arithmetic gentleman in the world, the most brilliant craftsman, the best astronomer, water conservancy expert, and the most famous doctor...... Pick out any one, and they are all famous figures.

It's just that Ye Hua didn't come to visit these masters, he went to see the division of the study field.

Because according to the requirements of this reform, the fields that originally belonged to the school were also exempted. Guo Wei was in Japan, and he once allocated more than 10,000 acres of land to the school, renting the school field for farming, so that there was no need to pay taxes to the imperial court, as long as the school was supplied.

According to the latest reform, all kinds of official land and tax-free fields must be abolished, and the land of the Dazhou School has been verified, and only 500 acres are retained, as the vegetable supply base of the school, as long as half of the field tax is paid, and the remaining land must be re-cleared and distributed to the people who have no land and less land.

What Ye Hua wants to see is how to divide the fields.

More than 10,000 acres, but it is a large area, and many people came before dawn, and they all gathered under a willow tree, anxiously waiting.

It was almost noon, and the officials of Kaifeng Mansion and a gentleman from the school were late.

The gentleman of the school is surnamed Lan, he is not good-looking, a little hunchbacked, but he is very respected, and in the hearts of the people, there is a simple idea, the teacher teaches and educates people, and his conduct is trustworthy.

The officials of Kaifeng Mansion threw their hands at the big guy.

"Fellow villagers, tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, in order to let the big guys have a stable year, I invited Mr. Lan over and asked him to give the land to the big guys!" Mr. Lan is the account room in the school, and he is a good learner, but he learned from the champion Hou, which is amazing! ”

……

Li Xi stood outside the crowd, and when he heard the praise of the servant, he couldn't help but stab Ye Hua.

"Senior brother, do you still have such an old student?"

Ye Hua snorted, there are all older than this, Taifu Chai Shouli is not his student! It's just that this Mr. Lan really doesn't have any impression, let alone his student.

Maybe it's the accounting room of the school, and I've read the arithmetic textbooks he compiled.

Pretending to be a master is not a good habit.

Ye Hua was suspicious of this Mr. Lan...... Mr. Lan pursed his lips, seeming to be very disdainful, "Ahem, I was originally going to prepare a New Year's gift for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but the king had to pull me over...... Is this worth my help? Such a little field, in your eyes, is bigger than the sky, but in my case, it is such a loss! ”

As he spoke, Mr. Lan stretched out his little thumb and gestured a finger, and he said impatiently: "I still have a lot of things, I can't delay, let's start dividing the field now!" ”

Mr. Lan looked at it with his hands behind his back, then strode to the ground and began to measure the land.

He had no tools, and with only two legs, he counted as he went, and when he walked a section, he stopped for a sign with a stick, and went on, and when he came to the end, the land had been divided into a dozen parts.

Mr. Lan did not stop, but crossed the path in the field and continued to walk towards the next piece, still in this way, all relying on the measure of steps.

Not to mention Ye Hua, even Li Xi was taken aback.

The so-called Qingzhang acres of land must always use a ruler, otherwise how to determine the size of each step and how to ensure accuracy. Also, even if the steps are the same, it only means that the length is the same, but the width of each piece of land is different, and the area must be different, how can it be used as a division standard!

This Mr. Lan's approach is really too hasty.

Wang Sanli stood aside and said in a low voice: "Our dynasty continues the practice of previous dynasties, taking five feet as a step and two hundred and forty steps as one acre...... It's just that the size of the steps is different, so the size of an acre is not nearly the same everywhere, and sometimes the difference, also, is still quite big! "His voice is not high, obviously there is a huge cat hidden in it!

Ye Hua saw the saying that "lunges are uneven" in Wang Sanli's recital, and after witnessing it today, he finally understood what was going on.

In rural areas, because of the lack of tools and the lack of sufficient arithmetic talents, when dividing land and determining the acres of land, the unit of measurement is often "step".

The left and right feet are each step forward, and the length is five feet.

In fact, not only in rural areas, but also in street stalls, for example, with two arms outstretched, it is five feet long, so most of the people who sell cloth on the street are small people with short arm spans, and they take advantage of it...... If you are like a basketball player, sell a piece of cloth and give five feet, you have to pay for death!

As for the Fang Tian written in the nine chapters of arithmetic, which basically only exists in books, or in some economically and culturally developed areas, as for ordinary rural areas, for thousands of years, the traditional methods have continued, and there is almost no change.

Lunge measurement is generally responsible for the famous and learned people in the countryside, just like this Mr. Lan. It's just that it's hard to say who these people will lean towards.

Wang Sanli pondered for a while, and then said: "In addition to the different sizes of lunges, there is also the field and so on. There is a lot of difference in taxes between medium and lower fields. If you turn a medium field into a medium field, and a medium field into a medium field, you can reap a lot of benefits. ”

Ye Hua and Li Xi are both smart people, they glanced at each other, and they all understood.

Whether it is measurement or waiting, it is the gentry and officials who have the final say. They make a fuss about the lunge, and then treat the inferior field as the medium field, and these two hands alone can double the burden of the common people!

The so-called Juntian, if there is no scientific method, is simply a joke!

Ye Hua's face gradually darkened...... And in the distance, a few young farmers surrounded Mr. Lan, it turned out that when Mr. Lan divided the fields for others, the steps were very big, but when it came to their heads, the steps were pitiful, twisting and pinching, just like the girls, their fields, stunned than others by one-third!

That Mr. Lan also spoke loudly and threatened: "You are blinded by lard, and the court gives you fields, what else is not satisfied?" I'm a student of Champion Hou, if you don't believe me, you just don't believe Champion Hou! Believe it or not, I'll let Master Hou come over and arrest you all! ”
