"Master, there were just three ordinary people on their way, why did you let the housekeeper do this?"
In the carriage, a woman said to the man next to her.
In his opinion, his man had been promoted to the capital.
Ordinary people's carriages should give way to him, but my master actually asked the housekeeper to discuss it peacefully.
This is simply inconsistent with my family's identity.
The man looked at the woman and said, "Madam, I am just entering the capital for the first time, so it is better to keep a low profile. And the person coming from the direction of the capital may not necessarily be an ordinary person."
The woman snorted coldly and said: "It's just a garage, and there are no two people accompanying him. How can he be a big shot?"
"Master, you are now a high-ranking official in the capital, so you have to look like yourself."
As the saying goes, if a person achieves enlightenment, a chicken or a dog will ascend to heaven, this is how the woman behaves today.
The man was a little helpless and said: "Madam, we haven't reached the capital yet, so I have to remind you. If you throw a stone casually on the road in the capital, all the people it will hit are high-ranking officials. If you are in trouble, please restrain yourself." .”
"Your master, I don't ask for much development, I just want to be safe and stable."
As expected of an official who was promoted to the capital, his self-awareness is still very sufficient.
Unfortunately, working under Zhu Yuanzhang is not that simple.
They didn't know what it would take to satisfy Zhu Yuanzhang as an official in the capital, especially as a minor official.
…
Inside the Forbidden City at this time.
Main hall.
Zhu Rui's return naturally attracted the attention of all the princes.
"Fifth brother, how do you feel being around Mr. Su recently?"
"Fifth brother, what have you learned from Mr. Su now?"
"Fifth brother, can you teach us what Mr. Su taught you?"
"Fifth brother, can we still go to Mr. Su's place?"
…
Various voices lingered around Zhu Rui, which made Zhu Rui a little overwhelmed.
He is not Zhu Biao, he does not have such a big aura that can directly suppress all the brothers present.
Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, and Zhu Di are all his biological brothers, and now he can only deal with it reluctantly.
Regarding Su Jing, these princes have actually seen her before, so logically speaking, the mystery should have been weakened a lot.
But what Su Jing taught was so powerful that it still made them curious.
"A matter of probability..."
Zhu Ji was very upright and started directly talking about the mathematics taught by Su Jing.
As for mathematics, if you can, you can, and if you can’t, you can’t.
So, after just a while, there were only two people left beside Zhu Ru.
Zhu Fan and Kaos.
They were the only ones interested.
"Fifth brother, did Mr. Su tell you, what's the use of teaching you this probability?"
Zhu Fan asked Zhu Xi.
Compared to Zhu Rui who immersed himself in studying, he was more concerned about the practicality after completing the study.
Zhu Ting replied: "Third brother, Master Su said that mathematics is the best tool for studying problems. Mathematics can be found everywhere, and probability is an important branch of mathematics. Let me learn it first. Once I learn it, I can always use it." "
Hearing this answer, Zhu Fan was helpless, but he did not continue to ask.
He knew the personality of his fifth brother Zhu Xi, and what he said was all true.
"Is that what Mr. Su said? Then Fifth Prince, what aspects of probability has Mr. Su studied?"
Kaos discussed with Zhu Ru with excitement on his face.
Zhu Xi immediately said: "Master Su taught me the most about throwing dice..."
Zhu Ju and Kaos unexpectedly clicked together, and the two had a very in-depth discussion on the issue of probability.
For the first time, Zhu Rui felt the exchange of the same knowledge from someone other than Su Jing. He was very excited, and the two of them had a great time discussing it.
But for other princes, it's not that interesting.
"Fifth brother spends all day learning this from Mr. Su? Can he survive this?"
The second eldest child, Zhu Xi, felt uncomfortable watching Zhu Xi and Kaos interacting with each other.
Last time I went to Su Jing's house during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I was so happy that I didn't even ask Zhu Jing what he was learning from Su Jing.
Now it seems that I am at fault for not going to study with Su Jing with Zhu Rui.
"Second brother, Mr. Su is a great talent. What he teaches the fifth brother must be what the fifth brother needs."
Zhu Fan, the third child, said: "It's just that fifth brother likes agriculture and playing with flowers and plants. What is the use of mathematical probability?"
Compared to Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan's level is much higher.
He can understand probability theory.
But he knew better what his fifth brother wanted to study, botany.
What Su Jing teaches seems to have nothing to do with botany.
"Who knows? Maybe Mr. Su just thinks that the fifth brother is too young and will teach him when he grows up."
Zhu Xi waved his hand, then looked at Zhu Di and said: "Fourth brother, I heard that you went to Brother Mu to learn some marching formations. It seems that you learned from a wolf...what the hell is a wolf?"
"Wolf Constitution."
Zhu Di replied: "A weapon shaped like a spear, specially used to deal with Japanese pirates, and a corresponding mandarin duck formation."
"Yeah!"
Zhu Xi nodded and said, "How about it? Now you don't have such strong thoughts about Mr. Su. Fourth brother, you are still suitable to lead troops in war."
Zhu Fang likes to be a second-generation ancestor who has nothing to do.
It’s so tiring to study or something.
Whether it is literature or martial arts.
None of this was what Zhu Xi wanted.
As soon as he finished speaking, he was choked back by Zhu Di's words.
"Wolf Constitution and Yuanyang Formation were both created by Mr. Su."
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Xi and said slowly.
This made Zhu Xi stunned. He immediately said: "Fourth brother, you didn't try to trick me, did you? Did Mr. Su invent that Wolf Constitution?"
He couldn't believe it, but if he thought about it carefully, it wasn't impossible.
Something as magical as the moving pulley was invented by Su Jing.
It's just a weapon, so it doesn't matter.
"Fourth brother, from what you have seen, what do the Langxian and Yuanyang formations look like?"
The third child, Zhu Fan, asked Zhu Di.
Zhu Di thought for a while and replied: "Third brother, my level is average, but according to Brother Mu, my father has asked him to pass on the Wolf Constitution and Yuanyang Formation."
Approval from his father, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.
This immediately made Zhu Fan realize that Su Jing's military talents may be top-notch.
And that golden ratio is actually true.
Su Jing's image in Zhu Fan's mind suddenly became much taller.
"Third brother, don't think so much. Who is Mr. Su? He can let his father arrange for his eldest brother to be a student by his side, or a student who does hard work. It's normal for Mr. Su to be so good."
Zhu Xi said to Zhu Fan.
To say that Zhu Fang is stupid, sometimes his mind is quite clear.
He saw this very clearly.
"Three doors, behind the doors are gold ingots and iron ingots..."
Zhu Ru and Kaos communicated very quickly, and they had already talked about the three issues.
At that time, this made Zhu Rui's mind confused for a while, and he only understood it after Su Jing prompted him.
At this moment, when this question was posed to Kaos, Kaos, like Zhu Rui, fell into an intuitive misunderstanding.
"Of course, the probability of changing or not changing is the same. After all, after removing one wrong answer, the remaining two have equal probability."
Kaos said directly.
Zhu Zhu just shook his head and said: "Mr. Kaos, this is wrong. You are more likely to get gold ingots if you change it than if you don't change it."
Kaos was stunned, but did not immediately refute, and then began to think.
Compared to Zhu Ru's confusion at the time, Kaos spent less time and quickly understood the joints.
Both of them lost track of time and kept talking.
Until sunset.
"Fifth brother, Mr. Kaos, that's it for today."
Zhu Fan opened his mouth and stopped the two of them.
"Third Prince, I'm really sorry. Kaos was so happy that he was too focused on communicating with the Fifth Prince and lost track of time."
Kaos immediately apologized to Zhu Fan.
It wasn't until Bai Zhufan stopped that he realized that the person communicating with him was actually a nine-year-old child.
This simply shocked him.
All this time, he had no real understanding of Su Jing's mathematical level.
Because Zhu Biao didn't have much attainments in mathematics, or he didn't learn much.
Although Kaos was sure that Su Jing far surpassed him in mathematics, he didn't know how much.
Now that he had such an exchange with Su Jing's student Zhu Rui, he felt something.
Even the level of mathematics shown by Zhu Rui was almost too much for him to keep up with.
This is just a nine-year-old child!
As Zhu Ju's teacher, how scary should Su Jing be?
Kaos's heart was filled with shock.
Perhaps Su Jing can already be compared with the sages in ancient Greek history. He is a living great sage!
"It's not your fault, Mr. Kaos. I can understand your mood, but it is indeed too late today. Let's stop here."
Zhu Fan said towards Kaos.
Among the princes, the third eldest Zhu Fan has the best relationship with Kaos.
"Okay, I have learned a lot today. I will communicate and learn with the fifth prince tomorrow."
Kaos nodded towards the princes and then retreated.
This is the end of the learning exchange in the main hall.
"Fifth brother, my father asked you to come over."
Zhu Fan said to Zhu Xi again.
"I know, third brother."
Zhu Zhu nodded and left the main palace immediately.
As soon as he left, Zhu Xi came to Zhu Fan's side and said, "Third brother, my father wants to see my fifth brother, why didn't I know?"
If Zhu Biao is not here, his second prince is the boss!
Why did his father, Zhu Yuanzhang, want to see Zhu Xi, but he didn't let him know, and instead asked the third child, Zhu Fan, to inform him.
"My father also told me suddenly, and my second brother happened to be away at that time."
Zhu Fan replied.
Of course, this is not the case. It is just that Zhu Yuanzhang believed that Zhu Xi was unreliable, and it was safest to let Zhu Fan inform him.
But Zhu Fan must take care of Zhu Ping's emotions. After all, he knows the temper of his second brother best.
"So that's it."
Zhu Ping replied without thinking much.
Soon, Zhu Ji came to Fengxian Hall. Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting on an office chair handling government affairs, while Queen Ma stood silently aside.
Obviously, Queen Ma is also waiting for Zhu Ru.
"My son, I pay homage to my father, the emperor, and my mother, the queen."
Zhu Xi saluted Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma.
"Ju'er, get up quickly."
Queen Ma waved to Zhu Rui and said with a smile.
"Thank you, mother."
Zhu Ru immediately stood up and quickly came to Queen Ma's side.
Compared with the serious Zhu Yuanzhang, the kind Empress Ma has always been more accepted by the princes.
"You can't be angry that I didn't let you go to Shandong with Mr. Su this time."
Queen Ma touched Zhu Rui's head and said.
She knew that Zhu Jing's feelings for Su Jing were no worse than Zhu Biao's.
On this long trip, I took Zhu Biao without him, and I must have been feeling disappointed.
"Mother, my child knows that you are doing it for my own good, and my child will not be angry."
Zhu Xi said very sensibly.
Empress Ma showed a look of relief on her face. Although Zhu Zhu was the youngest of her own children, compared to his brothers, he was not ignorant at all.
"Lao Wu, apart from mathematics, what else did you learn when you were with Su Jing?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Xi.
Zhu Ju replied: "Mainly mathematics, and some botany-related knowledge."
"Is that all? Su Jing didn't teach you anything about governing the country?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked again.
Su Jing's talent was quite appreciated by Zhu Yuanzhang.
In fact, he did not want Su Jing to teach Zhu Jing any mathematics and botany, but to teach him some knowledge of state governance, which was what Zhu Yuanzhang wanted.
After all, as his own son, Zhu Rui will definitely go to his own fiefdom in the future.
"No."
Zhu Zhu shook his head and said: "Master Su never told me this. He said that I should stay pure and continue to study and delve into knowledge."
Zhu Ji's talent was rare in Su Jing's life.
Any behavior that allows Zhu Rui to worry about unimportant things is a waste of his talent.
"Su Jing is really good at teaching!"
Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth and said.
Although he has already felt that Su Jing's so-called scientific knowledge is indeed very useful.
But in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, that was not something his son should learn.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang could not force Su Jing to teach anything.
"Okay, Chongba, Tie'er is still young. It's good to learn pure knowledge from Mr. Su."
Queen Ma said to Zhu Yuanzhang.
After hearing what Empress Ma said, Zhu Yuanzhang could only stop worrying about it for the time being.
"Lao Wu, you know that Su Jing and your eldest brother are making firearms."
Zhu Yuanzhang asked again.
Zhu Rui nodded: "Reporting to my father, I know that Master Su and my eldest brother were doing the work behind the yard, where Master Su specially built a blacksmith platform, but Master Su wouldn't let me go there, saying it was too dangerous. "
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately asked: "In addition to you and eldest brother, did anyone else see or know about Su Jing's making of firearms?"
Zhu Yuanzhang had already realized the power of new firearms.
Although Lishui County is next to Yingtian Mansion, theoretically it is unlikely that there will be any hostile forces from the Ming Dynasty.
But don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the eventuality.
Zhu Rui thought for a while and replied: "Probably not. I didn't know about Mr. Su's making of firearms until my elder brother brought the firearms home. Before, I always thought that Mr. Su was just making iron."
"Because Mr. Su often does some experiments at home, and there are all kinds of experiments. The neighbors are also used to it, and they basically don't ask."
Su Jing's courtyard itself is located in a secluded place.
In addition, Su Jing often conducts messy experiments, so not many people will come close to her.
"okay, I get it."
Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little relieved.
