When it comes to craftsmen, everyone’s inertial thinking makes them feel that craftsmen have low cultural level and poor learning ability.

Not to mention modern times, this sentence is definitely wrong.

No matter what industry is, even if a senior craftsman has never attended school, the frequency of exposure and application of science knowledge during the process of career promotion is not comparable to that of ordinary people.

This is especially true for ancient craftsmen.

For example, most of the craftsmen Zhu Qi found are proficient in carpenters, ironworking, brick burning, construction, etc.

Even if they can't draw drawings, they must at least be able to look at the drawings.

Some people really think that those ancient buildings full of beauty were not designed in advance, but were built directly, right?

There are no engineers these days, and from drawing to building, these craftsmen basically handle it from beginning to end.

Just take Feng Qiao, who rebuilt the Zhonghe Hall among the three fronts of the Forbidden City, wasn’t Feng Qiao from Baohe Hall, who was born a craftsman.

Do you dare to say that Feng Qiao’s math is not as good as humans?

Therefore, craftsmen like Chen Chuwu may not know much, but they must have more numbers and operations that they need to use on weekdays.

They can be said to be the one with the most mathematical foundation besides businessmen.

As long as you know simple calculations, Ma San, a top student who graduated from the University of Bologna, teaches a group of people with a foundation in mathematics and learn the content of junior high school mathematics within one month. It cannot be said that it is simple, but it is not impossible.

After all, Zhu Qi's textbook has also deleted some abstract nouns, such as the concepts of rational numbers and real numbers.

For example, addition and subtraction of whole equations, univariate equations, geometric figures, intersection lines and parallel lines, binary system of equations, understanding of angles, etc., can a normal adult not learn this under the teacher's education?

After Zhu Qi finished speaking his request, he saw Ma San picking up the book first, then turning on a page, and then the second page. When he saw the content related to geometric figures and angles, Ma San's eyes were full of surprise.

He asked carefully:

"His Royal Highness, have you ever contacted people like me before?"

Zhu Qi smiled and said:

"You want to ask me where I learned these things?"

Ma San nodded, after all, Ma San has been in the Central Plains for several years, and he knows the level of ordinary people in mathematics.

In Ma San's opinion, the scholars of the Ming Dynasty were just a group of literati with serious erudition.

They never only study history, literature and philosophy related things, but science subjects such as mathematics and physics never take a look at them.

This is indeed a very incredible thing for Ma San.

After all, since the ancient Greek scientist Aristotle clearly proposed the concept of sub-school education.

The first university established in the Western world was divided into various detailed subjects for study according to the educational philosophy of ancient Greece.

What's more, all the things written by Zhu Qi are what Ma San has learned!

When did the mathematics of the Ming Dynasty be the same as those in the West?

It must have been learned from others, right? Ma San thought so in his heart.

Zhu Qi didn't lie to him, and said directly:

"I did learn from others, but I am not a foreigner like you, but my junior high school teacher, whose surname is Chen."

Junior high school class teacher? Ma Sanren was a little confused and didn’t know what this means.

Zhu Qi didn't talk much nonsense and said with a smile:

"You don't have to worry about so many details anymore. Just just give these craftsmen to the church and start with the Arabic numerals.

After a month, I will check the results again. If you can do it, it means that your level is OK. Then I will reuse you at that time."

When Ma Sanyi heard this, his face was happy. He had been waiting for so many years, but wasn’t he just waiting for an opportunity to become successful in the Eastern world?

As for why His Highness the King of Liao was so knowledgeable, Ma San did not explore it anymore.

After all, in folk legends, this Prince of Liao is quite legendary, and the legend is what kind of god descends to earth.

Ma San, who believes in Catholicism, certainly doesn’t believe in any other gods, but he has also seen some prodigy. I believe that this Highness of the Liao King is such a genius prodigy.

Ma San took the book, and Zhu Qi stood up and took him to gather the craftsmen.

After gathering the craftsmen in public, he told the craftsmen about the next month and followed Ma San to concentrate on learning mathematics.

Including Chen Chuwu, they didn't understand what mathematics was at first. After hearing Zhu Qi explain in detail, they suddenly realized.

Isn’t this the method of astronomical and calendar calculations?

But the craftsmen were all very strange. We are good craftsmen, how could we learn this astronomical and calendar calculation method?

The reason is very simple, because mathematics is the foundation of most natural sciences. As long as the tall buildings of mathematics can be piled up, the faster the technology can climb.

As Chen Shengshen, a famous mathematician in my country, said: in the process of learning mathematics, mastering the way of thinking of mathematics, how to consider problems, etc., this is much more valuable than knowledge.

Although these craftsmen were strange, they did not ask much. The reason why His Highness the King of Liao did this must be the reason for His Highness.

After so long, these craftsmen have already had a blind and confident feeling towards the magical King of Liao.

Zhu Qi didn't say much, and asked Ma San to briefly introduce himself. When the craftsmen saw that Ma San could speak Chinese, they felt much more relieved.

As for the others, Zhu Qi didn't care too much. After asking Manager He to free up a room and serve as a teaching place for Ma San, Zhu Qi went back.

After all, March is coming soon, and as my wedding with Xu Miaoyun is approaching, more and more things need to be prepared.

Even with the help of the inner officials in the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang specially arranged an inner official to be responsible for Zhu Qi's marriage arrangements.

But as mentioned earlier, Zhu Qi did many things himself. On the one hand, he felt a sense of participation, on the other hand, he went out and Zhu Qi liked Xu Miaoyun and respected Xu Da, his father-in-law.

As for what Xu Da feels like when he wants to marry his daughter, Zhu Qi is not very clear, but Xu Miaoyun's brother Xu Zengshou has been so happy recently.

After Li Qi and Princess Lin'an got engaged, they said that His Highness the King of Liao was his brother-in-law wherever he went.

Good guy, Xu Zengshou has started now, and he doesn’t talk about His Highness the King of Liao wherever he goes, but just talks about His Highness the brother-in-law.

The two of them met together and became a brother-in-law and a brother-in-law. They were so rude to Zhu Qi.

However, Zhu Qi was also very happy for such days when friends were joking with each other.

Time flies, and soon it was March of the ninth year of Hongwu.

Zhu Qi is married.

—————

The red sun hangs high above your head, just like the fiery red and festive outfits everywhere in the imperial palace and city today.

It is logical that there is no need to decorate the palace when His Highness of the Liao King's wedding.

After all, the only one who can use the palace to serve the marriage is the crown prince except the emperor.

But the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang is different from the emperors of all dynasties.

He has never been very cautious about his sons, and in fact he doesn't need to be guarded at all.

As long as Zhu Yuanzhang stops, will that little bastard dare to breathe?

Even Zhu Di was so arrogant that he didn't dare to show off.

In the court, Zhu Yuanzhang also maintained absolute dominance. The imperial power was unprecedentedly powerful in Zhu Yuanzhang's hands.

Even the Secretariat of Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang and others is now just a rubber stamp.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and decided to choose a palace in the imperial city as the wedding place of King Zhu Qi, the Liao Dynasty.

Good guy, he directly mentioned the same treatment as Prince Zhu Biao.

To be honest, when Zhu Qi first heard about this, he was still very panicked.

I even went to Zhu Biao for this matter, but I must not set a precedent, because I was afraid that Zhu Biao would misunderstand.

But the prince's brother is worthy of being one of the few good princes in history. The good brother, when he heard Zhu Qi's concerns, he immediately laughed:

"You still come to me for this matter? It was originally proposed by me and my father!"

What else can you say? Zhu Qi had no choice but to bite the bullet and set the stage.

Early that morning, the inner officials and servants were ready.

Although there is no saying that the best man and bridesmaids are now, there are still saying that brothers, friends, family and relatives will go to meet with him.

As Zhu Qi's good brother, Zhu Di naturally had no choice but to bear this part of the responsibility. In addition to Zhu Di, there were also a group of noble children such as Li Qi and Li Jinglong.

After all, we are all good brothers who have drunk, eaten, and visited Xiaoxiang Pavilion together.

Xu Zengshou also wanted to come, but he was from the woman today and could not get through no matter what.

Zhu Qi was wearing a bright red robe, Xuyu on his head, and official boots on his feet, and looked very handsome.

Speaking of this dress, the groom's official was only mentioned in the Ming Dynasty, and the focus was on the word "official".

Before the Ming Dynasty, ordinary people got married at home, just called the groom, the groom, etc.

During the Ming Dynasty, when people got married, the groom would wear Xuyu and official boots on his head, but he would never dare to wear this way.

That's why the groom said that the groom was said.

As long as a person is handsome, he will look particularly energetic.

Zhu Di also came up at this time, but he was holding two bird cages in his hand, with a wild goose in the cage.

Needless to say, this is just to take it to welcome the bride. Zhu Qi looked strange and asked:

"Isn't I given a gift yesterday? I've already urged to make up. Why are you bringing two birds there?"

Zhu Di squeezed his eyes and said:

"Third brother, my elder brother said that when welcoming the bride, bringing this pair of geese is to bless the harmony of yin and yang, loyalty and unswerving meaning."

Zhu Qi nodded when he heard this, and the inner official next to him said with a smile:

"Your Highness, the time is here, let's set off?"

Zhu Qi nodded with a smile, let’s go and get married!
