Daming: At the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang simulated the National Games

"There are pheasants and rabbits in a cage today. There are thirty-five heads on top and ninety-four legs on the bottom. What are the pheasants and rabbits?"

As soon as Song Lian finished speaking, Zhu Gaoxu replied almost instantly: "The pheasant is twenty-three, and the rabbit is twelve."

Song Lian was stunned when he heard Zhu Gaoxu's standard answer, subconsciously thinking that Zhu Gaoxu had done this question before.

So Song Lian immediately asked another question: "Now there are pheasants and rabbits in the same cage. There are eighty heads on the top and two hundred and eight legs on the bottom. What are the pheasants and rabbits?"

Zhu Gaoxu frowned slightly this time because he did not immediately calculate the increase in the total amount.

Seeing this, Song Lian thought he had guessed correctly, and was about to speak, but unexpectedly Zhu Gaoxu gave the answer again.

"The pheasant is fifty-six, the rabbit is twenty-four."

At this time, Song Lian was completely stunned.

You know, even if he wants to figure out this problem, it will take at least one stick of incense.

And Zhu Gaoxu was only a few seconds slower than before.

Seeing this, Song Lian asked directly: "Has Your Highness done this question before?"

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and said: "This is the first time for students to do this question, but there are just some methods."

"Oh? What method is so fast? Let me tell you."

Zhu Gaoxu's words aroused Song Lian's curiosity.

He has been studying arithmetic for more than ten years, but he has never heard of any method that can be done so quickly.

What Zhu Gaoxu said next shocked Song Lian even more.

"Actually, there is more than one method. Let me tell you two first."

What!

more than one?

Let’s talk about two first?

Does that mean there's more to it?

This was completely beyond Song Lian's knowledge. He nodded and asked Zhu Gaoxu to speak quickly.

Seeing that Song Lian was so anxious, Zhu Gaoxu didn't make any detours and said directly: "Let's take the first question as an example."

"The first method is to assume that the thirty-five pheasants in the cage are all pheasants. Then the thirty-five pheasants should have seventy legs."

"Seventy legs are twenty-four less than ninety-four. This is because the rabbit's four legs are regarded as the two-legged pheasant. A total of twenty-four legs are missing, so there are 24 legs in the twenty-four.

A few twos equals how many rabbits there are. Subtracting the number of rabbits from the total number of pheasants will give you the number of pheasants.”

When Song Lian heard this, he suddenly thought about it and suddenly understood.

Immediately he couldn't help stroking his palms and said: "Wonderful, it is really wonderful!"

"Tell me another way."

"The other way is actually simpler."

"What's easier!"

Song Lian thought that what he just said was very simple, at least he hadn't thought of it after studying it for more than ten years.

But Zhu Gaoxu actually had a simpler way. This time Song Lian didn't have the slightest doubt and just asked him to speak quickly.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at Song Lian's excited expression. He was really afraid that the old man would be overtaken by excitement, so he didn't dare to delay and said directly: "Actually, let's say xy, ah, no, it's A and B."

"Let the rabbit be A and the pheasant be B."

"A plus B equals thirty-five."

"And four times A plus two times B equals ninety-four feet."

"Then twice A plus B equals forty-seven."

"A equals twelve and B equals twenty-three."

Zhu Gaoxu simply said it, and Song Lian immediately understood.

"Wonderful, really wonderful!"

Looking at Song Lian who kept saying wonderful things, Zhu Gaoxu said in time: "The student has answered correctly... Then do you think today's class is..."

"No need, no need!"

Song Lian did not regret it. At this time, he planned to use this method to check a few more problems. If it was really applicable, it would be a great discovery of the Ming Dynasty. The academic status of this matter would increase several times.

So at this time, he had no time to talk to Zhu Gaoxu.

And Zhu Gaoxu only made a small mistake and defeated Song Lian, the first civil servant who founded the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing that Song Lian had no time to talk to him, Zhu Gaoxu walked out of Song Lian's tent after saluting him.

Less than five minutes into the class, Zhu Gaoxu was already out of class.

Zhu Gaoxu, who was in a happy mood, found Mao Xiang.

During this large formation, Mao Xiang was managing the entire military camp for Zhu Gaoxu.

"What changes have occurred in the military recently?"

"Everything is normal. The sergeants are working harder and harder. In fact, there are many good soldiers inside, but... they still left."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded. There was nothing he could do about it. Who asked him to get only a thousand places?

"How many people are there in the army now?"

"There are still more than 7,000 people."

"How's the score?"

"Nearly half of the 7,000 people shot at the target, and all the cross-country obstacles and other events met the standards."

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu nodded and immediately decided to increase training intensity again.

Among them, it mainly includes: covert march, coordinated operations, progressive fighting, long-distance volleys, realm camping, night reconnaissance, fighting for key points, blocking and assisting the enemy, and a series of training projects.

As Zhu Gaoxu spoke, he explained to Mao Xiang.

At the same time, students are required to be divided into classes, rows, and groups. Students with poor performance will continue to be eliminated.

Now these soldiers have adapted to basic training, and thanks to Hu Weiyong, the food of the army has also been greatly improved.

There are three meals a day, two of which include meat.

Coupled with Zhu Gaoxu's training, the soldiers' system has been slowly changing.

And now Zhu Gaoxu has decided to start formal training to prepare for going to the battlefield in the future!
