Chapter: 9
Zhu Di took it for granted that his father, Zhu Yuanzhang, who established the Ming Dynasty system, would be right in calculating the clan's salary, so he planned to increase the salary as a condition in exchange for the military power of the vassals without thinking carefully.
But now hearing what Jiang Xinghuo said, Zhu Di felt that there seemed to be something really wrong, but he couldn't figure it out.
On the other side of the wall, Zhu Gaoxu frowned and asked.
"Mr. Jiang, am I wrong?"
Hearing the whistle for the end of the wind time, Jiang Xinghuo, who had been lying down for a long time after eating watermelon, patted his buttocks and got up and said.
"I know that your eyes and hands are in the imperial prison. In this way, you go find a chessboard and find some millet."
"Chessboard and Xiaomi, what do they have to do with the question I mentioned?"
"Of course it does matter." Jiang Xinghuo stretched his waist, "Put one grain of rice on the first grid, two grains on the second grid, four grains on the third grid, eight grains on the fourth grid... . Put it in this proportion, and you will understand it soon."
"After you understand it, I'll tell you how to solve the second problem."
After the wind time was over, Jiang Xinghuo went back to take a nap.
Zhu Gaoxu sat under the shade of a tree, called the jailer to bring a chessboard and a bag of millet, and began to put them away carefully.
"Fifth grid, sixteen grains; sixth grid, thirty-two grains; seventh grid, sixty-four grains..."
After a long time, Zhu Gaoxu looked at the countless millets on the chessboard, looked at the direction Jiang Xinghuo was leaving, and muttered in a daze for a while: "The chessboard...eight grains of rice... ..”
Zhu Gaoxu said in astonishment: "I know a hammer!"
Datianjie Temple, formerly known as Dalongxiang Jiqing Temple.
It was first built in the second year of Yuan Taiding. After Zhu Yuanzhang established the country, it was changed to "Datianjie Temple" and undertook the work of compiling "Yuan History" and training tribute envoys in etiquette.
Hongwu was destroyed by fire in the 21st year, so it moved to Fengshan outside Jubaomen for reconstruction.
The Datianjie Temple is spacious and majestic, with King Kong Hall, Tianwang Hall, Zhengfo Hall, Bell Tower, Pilu Pavilion and many other buildings. It also has an extraordinary status in the Buddhist circle of Ming Dynasty.
In order to manage the world's monks and Taoists, Zhu Yuanzhang set up the Senglu Department under the Ministry of Rites to manage the world's monks and temples, and the Senglu Department was located in Tianjie Temple. In other words, Tianjie Temple is an institution that replaces the royal family in Buddhist management.
And who is the most respected monk in the world today?
Of course, it was Master Daoyan who was hailed as the "Prime Minister in Black" by the ruling and opposition parties.
Under the escort of a brigade of soldiers, Zhu Di, who was full of doubts, arrived at the Datianjie Temple and got off the carriage.
It was already afternoon, and the summer sunlight fell on the ground through the gaps in the leaves, bringing a warm and comfortable light.
Zhu Di stood by the roadside, looking up.
The Datianjie Temple is located on Fengshan Mountain, with thousands of steps leading to the peak. At this moment, there are more than 800 steps away from the nearest Buddhist temple.
The surrounding clouds are misty, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, just like a fairyland.
But for Zhu Di, this scene is more like a dream.
Ever since Zhu Di entered the imperial prison today, he hasn't calmed down to think. Because of the constant impact of what Jiang Xinghuo said, he has been thinking about some messy things in his head, which made him a little tired.
