One thousand ninety-six chapters: a twist
Ye Chunqiu took the red pen on the imperial desk without hesitation, spread out a piece of paper, and began to write and draw on the paper.
Calculation is a very headache, but based on these, it is very important to obtain accurate information. Although the results of Ye Chunqiu's final calculation may have a large deviation, there must be a rough number. Through this, a lot of useful information can be obtained.
This calculation requires both variables and increments. For example, they may not be just cargo ships. There must be a large number of warships at sea. Since they colluded with Japan, and in the reports of the Korean State, Japanese pirates and even the Ming private ships attacked their coasts. The Korean State did not disturb them very much and wrote letters repeatedly. Of course, these letters were generally ignored by the imperial court. To put it bluntly, there was no fleet.
The Koreans also knew that they would not care. The reason why they came to do something was not necessarily because they hoped that the court could help them expel Japanese pirates. To put it bluntly, they would just cry. When they sent envoys to pay tribute, they would get more rewards.
Therefore, the Koreans always exaggeratedly say that they were attacked by giant ships, covering the clouds and the sun, with more than a hundred ships of all sizes, Japanese pirates, and private merchants of four or five thousand, and so on.
This is simply nonsense. Ye Chunqiu wanted to laugh when he saw this kind of memorial. North Korea is very poor. Thousands of people are going to rob you a port. Are you sure that people can survive?
However, some information can be roughly obtained from it, which is nothing more than reducing the scale of this group of Japanese pirates. Based on their frequency and the location of the attack, we can judge the size and size of the Japanese ships, their combat methods, their organizational structure, and so on.
Ye Chunqiu wrote and painted with a pen holder. Zhu Houzhao couldn't understand the Arabic numerals on the paper, but Ye Chunqiu didn't care whether he could understand them. There were also some multiplication and division methods. Ye Chunqiu had already compiled books and sent them to the research institute. It was the treasure of all researchers.
It took an hour, but there was still no result. After all, there were too many factors to consider. Zhu Houzhao was a little patient, but she still obediently brought tea to Ye Chunqiu and put it to Ye Chunqiu's hand. Ye Chunqiu waved her hand, staring at the countless data on the paper, and said, "Grandpa Liu, thank you."
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but glared at Ye Chunqiu, trying to argue, but looking at Ye Chunqiu's eyes were only on the data on the table, and finally he was dejected and silent. He knew that Ye Chunqiu's mind had entered a state of selflessness, so he simply sat aside, supported his head with his hands, and took a nap.
Bang... I don't know how long it took, the red pen was gently thrown into the sandalwood pen holder. Ye Chunqiu stretched his waist, and Zhu Houzhao, who was bees, opened her eyes suddenly and stretched her head to look at the data. Unfortunately... she still couldn't understand it, so she looked at Ye Chunqiu, waiting for Ye Chunqiu's explanation.
Ye Chunqiu pressed his finger on the desk and said slowly: "It's a bit troublesome. If the result here is not wrong, maybe... we have underestimated these private dealers before."
