Traveling through books: Traveling through time with a golden finger to become a soft rice man

However, Yang Yuanzu still had to take care of necessary interpersonal relationships. He would also participate in chatting and gossiping with his colleagues, or he would help with things that happened to help.

For example, today, when he heard that people under the Agriculture Department were going to measure and account for farmland in villages near Changjing City, he took the initiative to apply.

It's not to investigate the problem. There is no big problem with the land area near Changjing City. After all, it is under the emperor's feet and the agriculture department is constantly checking. No one who is brave enough will dare to do anything here. Yang Yuanzu applied for field service. I simply don’t want to stay in the agricultural department.

There are two attitudes towards people who go out to work in the agricultural sector. One is those like Yang Yuanzu who don't want to be bored indoors, and the other is those who don't want to go out to bask in the sun.

Yang Yuanzu followed the seniors to the Divination Pavilion to borrow people. When it came to arithmetic, they were more professional.

Yang Yuanzu brought a measuring rope. The measuring rope was two hundred and forty steps long, which was one acre, which was equal to the sixty square feet here.

Yang Yuanzu visually calculated that these sixty square feet are roughly equivalent to more than six hundred square meters in modern times. Yang Yuanzu did not have a modern standard measurement tool for the specific number. Let's just calculate it as sixty-six, which is a great success!

One acre equals 666, which Yang Yuanzu found easy to remember.

The arithmetic officer was the one who set the questions for them in the palace examination. As soon as he saw Yang Yuanzu, he ran up to him enthusiastically and asked Yang Yuanzu what method he used to calculate the answer so quickly last time.

Yang Yuanzu couldn't remember clearly what the question was last time. Seeing this, the arithmetic officer anxiously repeated the question and the value. After speaking, he looked at Yang Yuanzu expectantly, waiting for the fog to clear.

Yang Yuanzu looked around and was going to find a branch on the ground to write out the process.

Seeing this, the arithmetic officer hurriedly took out the arithmetic book he carried with him from his arms. As for the attendant who was following Bi Mo, seeing this, he also handed over the things.

The ink was ground in advance and put into a special water bag. The attendant poured some ink into the cup and brought it to Yang Yuanzu.

In the wild where there are no conditions, most people keep everything simple.

Yang Yuanzu wrote the summation process of the geometric sequence on paper and handed it to the arithmetic officer. The process was written in great detail but the arithmetic officer could not understand it.

Yang Yuanzu remembered that the Ning Dynasty did not have multiplication tables, so he asked the arithmetic official, "How did you calculate the answer to this question?"

Then the arithmetic officer showed his complicated algorithm to Yang Yuanzu, and finally made Yang Yuanzu faint.

While talking, the group arrived at the outskirts of Beijing. The farmer ordered everyone to work. After hearing the words, the two of them started working.

The men began to run around the fields pulling ropes and reporting numbers.

Someone drew a miniature map of the fields on the fish scale book. Although the proportions of the drawing were not standard, the general appearance of the fields was drawn. After the arithmetic officer added the area, Yang Yuanzu transcribed the values ​​on the book.

Yang Yuanzu watched for a while, and after understanding the rough algorithm rules of the other party, he also helped calculate together. Because he has rich calculation experience, Yang Yuanzu can calculate much faster than the arithmetic officer.

The Scud who was measuring the acres was running very fast, and soon the lengths of all sides of a field were measured.

Most of the fields were complex shapes with arc-shaped sides. Before the arithmetic officer could calculate the results for the previous field, the new field information was transmitted.

Yang Yuanzu had finished the calculation, so he helped the arithmetic officer calculate together.

They came out of Changjing City late this morning, so it was lunch time after not working for a while.

Everyone has their own business to deal with during lunch.

Yang Yuanzu usually had Suning from his family to help him deliver food. Something unexpected happened today and he didn't have time to inform Suning that they had moved the place. He didn't know if Suning could deliver food to him today.

The others had made arrangements with their families early in the morning, so as soon as it was time to eat or even before it was time to eat, family members or servants would bring lunch.

Suning was clever in doing things. When Yang Yuanzu didn't come to pick up food at the entrance of the palace, he asked the guard at the door. Only then did he know that Yang Yuanzu had been sent to the outskirts of Beijing. After asking for the specific location, he rushed to the outskirts of Beijing with his food box. .

Although I was delayed for some time on the way, I finally caught up.

When Yang Yuanzu was eating, it was when the sun was the hottest at noon. After eating, everyone was sitting under the tree to rest and digest the food, or close their eyes and take a nap.

Yang Yuanzu ate in a few bites and then found a shady place to rest. After resting for about two quarters of an hour, the farmer boss started shouting and getting busy again.

The sun was warm in the morning, but it felt a little hot in the afternoon. A group of principals hid under the shade of a tree to work, and Yang Yuanzu followed suit.

Unknowingly, it was time to get off duty, and the Scuds finally had time to breathe a sigh of relief after running all day. They sat on the ground to rest regardless of the dirt on the ground, and some even lay on the ground.

Scud picked up the water bag and poured water into his mouth, only to realize that he had finished drinking the water he had brought.

Yang Yuanzu brought water with him when he came out. When he saw this, he took out his water bag and shook the half of the water inside. Then he found two cups and poured out the water and distributed it to the Scuds.

The Scuds are all the fast runner in the neighborhood and can do some numbers. Usually when the agricultural company needs to measure the acres, they will come to them. The money earned by working for the agricultural company is better than working for people in the city, and they are not required. They can also have some rest time when they are busy.

Not everyone can do this job. The first thing is to run fast, and the second thing is to be able to read.

The merchants were good at settling accounts and counting, but they looked down upon the wages, and the agricultural officials despised the merchants' background. In short, they just looked down on each other.

The Scuds were so impressed by the official master that they hurriedly stood up to thank Yang Yuanzu and give them their luggage. Yang Yuanzu stopped everyone. They were all exhausted and he was too embarrassed to let people get up to do the situational work.

Everyone around Yang Yuanzu was a little nervous. Who could relax and have a rest with this leader around?

Yang Yuanzu saw that the Scuds' shoulders were tense, so after delivering the water, he returned to the arithmetic officer, not paying attention to the Scuds.

Everyone there saw that Yang Yuanzu's attention was diverted to arithmetic and then relaxed, resting and waiting for the farmer's chief to announce his next move.

The arithmetic officer here was working on a piece of farmland with a complicated shape. Seeing this, Yang Yuanzu stepped forward to help draw a few auxiliary lines, and the appearance of the strange-shaped field instantly became clear.

The field was divided into a semicircle and several triangular shapes, as well as rectangles and trapezoids. There were still some numerical values ​​missing, so the Scuds ran to measure again after a short rest.

This is the famous 'ghost field'. The previous arithmetic officers roughly estimated a value based on their past experience. The Scuds have not seen anyone calculate clearly the area of ​​​​this field.
