The Emperor spoke.

No one dared to disobey.

Everyone moved chairs and sat down, leaving only Wang Chen and Shi Shouxin standing there.

Both sides took out the jackpots first.

Wang Chen asked Xu Jiang, Zhang Qing and others to take out watches, grandfather clocks, toilet water and 100 sets of daily necessities.

Shi Shouxin wrote an IOU, drew a pledge, and promised that if he lost, he would give Wang Chen 10,000 taels of gold afterwards.

Zhao Kuangyin sat at the table and said with a smile: "In the first game, it is better than archery, fifty steps away, and whoever can shoot the target red heart first wins." He leaned back in his chair and offered odds to everyone, "Shi Shizhong wins, fourteen to one, Jinghaihou wins, one to twelve, and one to six, everyone, you can place a bet." ”

The odds are not optimistic about Wang Chen!

Well, everyone never thought that Wang Chen would win, and they didn't even think about a draw.

Gao Huaide took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, I will win in 1,400 stone servants." ”

Wang Ming also followed: "The old man wins in the seven hundred stone servants." ”

Zhao Kuangyin said to the old eunuch beside him: "Write it down." ”

The old eunuch belched and took a brush and paper to write it down.

The rest of the people bet one after another.

"I'm going down seventy times. ”

"One hundred and forty stone servants. ”

"Hehe, it's hard for Jinghaihou to win, and I'll also go down to the stone. ”

Yes, none of them are optimistic about themselves at all.

Wang Chen, who was wearing a wrench for archery, suddenly saw that Wang Jien was also betting on himself to lose, he leaned over and said speechlessly: "Father-in-law, what are you doing?"

Wang Jien smiled dryly: "Earn some little wine money, small wine money." ”

Wang Chen looked down and said wildly: "You actually lost 1,400 times?"

Wang Jien said seriously: "You will lose the game, you will lose face, and you will come back for your father to earn some money for you." ”

Wang Chen: "......"

Your sister!

No one is optimistic about themselves?

Just thinking about it, Li Jilong shouted: "Your Majesty, I will buy Jinghai Hou to win!"

Good brothers!

Worthy of being my good brother!

Wang Chen was a little embarrassed, his father-in-law bought himself and lost, but it was interesting to worship his brother.

But the next moment he almost fainted.

The old eunuch asked, "How much to bet?"

Li Jilong stretched out a finger, Wang Chen thought it was a hundred times, who would have thought, he said: "A penny." ”

Wang Chen: "............"

Well, it's unreliable.

Zhao Kuangyin scolded with a smile: "You kid, the minimum amount is consistent, otherwise you won't be allowed to bet." ”

Li Jilong squirmed, looked at Wang Chen, and said with a dry smile: "Brother, I'm sorry." Then he said to the old eunuch without saying a word, "Well, help me win in the fourteen stone servants." ”

Wang Chen: ".................."

Shi Shouxin laughed.

Wang Chen's face was black.

The final result was not unexpected, Shi Shouxin shot an arrow fifty steps away and hit the red heart.

As for Wang Chen, the bow was pulled apart, and the arrow didn't even touch the target.

It made everyone laugh.

Shi Shouxin, who was victorious, said proudly: "Marquis Jinghai, the old man will go down to the city first, you are ready to retreat." ”

Wang Chen was still performing, and said indignantly: "Don't be proud in the stone waiter, there are still two games, I may not be able to catch up." ”

Everyone was laughing at Wang Chen's archery skills over there.

At this moment, Zhao Kuangyin suddenly asked: "Jinghai Hou, you just said that you should let Shi Shi Zhongzhong answer three questions, is this true?"

Hi.

Wouldn't it be better to let the three questions?

Even thirty questions buddies are not afraid.

Wang Chen nodded and said, "That's right." ”

Zhao Kuangyin beckoned to Shi Shouxin again, and the two exchanged words and chatted a few words, and then Zhao Kuangyin opened the odds and said: "The second game counts, Shi Shizhong wins one and loses one, plays and draws two, and Jinghaihou wins one and loses three." ”

Judging from the odds, it is obviously optimistic about Shi Shouxin.

But Wang Chen showed an oath before, as if he was very interested in arithmetic, and everyone was in trouble, who should win this time?

It's Gao Huaide again, he just won a hundred guan money, and he was so happy in his heart that he couldn't do it, so he said directly: "I'll win in the next 1,500 guan stones." ”

The old brother Wang Ming fully supported, "I will also win in the eight hundred stone servants." ”

Wang Chen saw Shi Shouxin frantically glancing at several old brothers.

But this group of people made a mistake, Wang Quanbin thought that Shi Shouxin asked them to do more, and immediately rejoiced: "Your Majesty, you are going to break the bill today, I will ...... Two thousand stone servants win. ”

Cui Yanjin also said happily: "I will also win the next 1,000 yuan to buy a stone servant." ”

In addition, Liu Guangyi, Wang Renzhan, Wang Ming and others have made heavy bets.

However, Xue Juzheng, Shen Yilun and others were a little difficult, they hesitated again and again, some abstained and did not bet, and some tried to buy a draw.

Instead, Wang Jien leaned over and said, "Big brother, are you confident?"

Li Jilong watched from the sidelines.

Wang Chen nodded, "Yes." ”

"Okay, I'll buy you 1,500 yuan to win. Wang Jien supported his righteous son this time, and went to the old eunuch to register.

Li Jilong also followed Wang Jien to buy fifty guan and Wang Chen won.

However, the vast majority of people are not optimistic about Wang Chen, mainly because he wants to let three questions.

Buy and leave.

Shi Shouxin looked at a few old brothers, and knew that it would be impossible not to win, anyway, as long as Wang Chen lost in the final ending, no matter how many games he had, he couldn't let the old brothers break the bank, he said loudly: "I'll come up with three questions first, if Jinghaihou can answer it, and then give me another question, the old man will answer it as a draw, and if he can't answer, he will lose, but if Jinghaihou answers wrong, he will lose, how about it?"

Wang Chen didn't pay attention to the arithmetic of the ancients at all, and said lazily: "Let's get the question." ”

Shi Shouxin laughed, "Jinghaihou, you are doomed." Then he asked: "The first question, there is a temple, there are a total of 100 big monks and small monks, the big monk eats four cooking cakes per meal, and the four small monks eat one cooking cake, a total of 100 cooking cakes, may I ask, how many big and small monks are there? How many cooking cakes did each eat?"

When everyone heard this, there was an uproar.

"How can this be calculated?"

"It's hard, it's so hard. ”

"Jing Haihou has lost this trip. ”

Zhao Kuangyin was also a little troubled: "Xue Xiang, Shen Xiang, you can help calculate together and tell me the final result." ”

Xue Juzheng said: "The words of the minister and Shen Xiang will not be counted for a while, can you call more people?"

"Yes. ”

Xue Juzheng immediately called the twenty or so so-called arithmetic masters present, each holding a pen and ink, ready to count.

However, as soon as their pens were dipped in ink, before they could start counting, Wang Chen yawned and said, "Twenty great monks ate eighty cooking cakes, and eighty young monks ate twenty cooking cakes." ”

Xue Juzheng snorted, "Jinghaihou has already figured it out?"

Zhao Kuangyin and the others also looked confused, shit, it's so rare to calculate the math problem, Xue Juzheng has to find twenty people to calculate at the same time, how many breaths does your sister have?

Someone looked at Shi Shouxin and asked, "Shi Shizhong, is the answer correct?"

Shi Shouxin sneered: "That...... The old man didn't have an answer either, but he had seen this arithmetic problem in a book. ”

Everyone almost fainted, Wo Ri, you don't have an answer, and you actually took it out to test Jing Haihou?

Seeing this, Zhao Kuangyin had no choice but to say: "Xue Xiang, you hurry up and calculate." ”

Xue Juzheng said: "Okay." ”

"Don't count. Wang Chen wasted their time and said, "Suppose this temple is full of great monks, then there are a hundred great monks who eat a total of 400 cooking cakes, but in fact there are only 100 cooking cakes, and there are 300 more cooking cakes......"

Xue Juzheng was curious: "Why are there three hundred more cooking cakes?"

"Just listen to me. Wang Chen said unhurriedly: "Because a big monk eats three more cooking cakes than a small monk, plus a seventy percent and five residual cooking cakes, we only need to count how many three cooking cakes and seventy percent and five residual cooking cakes are in the three hundred steamed buns, and we know how many big monks are in the four hundred cooking cakes, well, the final conclusion is eighty, but in fact, everyone only eats one hundred cooking cakes, that is, there are only twenty big monks, so in the end, the remaining eighty are all small monks." ”

Hi, the 6th grade question.

My buddy is a college student, and if he can't do such a simple question, he will just commit suicide by jumping into the river.

Xue Juzheng was still a little unconvinced, but after getting the final answer, the reasoning was very simple, and after a while, he raised his head in disbelief and said, "My God, Jinghai Hou is not bad at all!"

Everyone else was taken aback.

"Jing Haihou is too powerful, right?"

"It's such a difficult calculation, how many breaths can be calculated?"

"You must know that Xue Xiang and more than twenty people have calculated together, and none of them can compare to Jinghaihou. ”

Shi Shouxin's eyes were as wide as copper bells, as if he couldn't believe it, he saw the arithmetic with a difficulty index as high as ten levels in the book, and it became as simple as eating and drinking water in Wang Chen's mouth.

Zhao Kuangyin was a judge and announced: "The first question is Jinghai Hou Sheng. ”

Gao Huaide, Wang Renzhan and others looked dark, Nima, they won't capsize in the gutter with the old book, right? They all made heavy bets, and there are two questions, don't worry, don't worry.

Wang Chen looked at Shi Shouxin and said with a smile: "Let's come up with the second question." ”

Shi Shouxin gritted his teeth and said: "There was a woman washing dishes by the river, and a passer-by asked her why she washed so many dishes? She replied: There are many guests in the house, and they share a rice bowl for every two people, a soup bowl for every three people, and a vegetable bowl for every four people, and they share sixty-five bowls.

As soon as the words fell, Wang Chen said bluntly: "Sixty." ”

Shi Shouxin's eyes darkened, "How did you figure it out?"

The others were also confused.

the groove.

You, the Marquis of Jinghai, can't you be a god of arithmetic, right?

This kind of question sounds dizzy, and you actually figured it out all at once?

Wang Chen pursed his lips, it was another elementary school question, he stretched his waist, and explained casually: "It's actually very simple. ”

"It's simple?" Xue Juzheng smiled dumbly: "I don't see where it's simple." ”

Shen Yilun also smiled bitterly: "Yes, two people will share a bowl for a while, and three people will share a bowl for a while, where is it simple?"

Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Guangyi and others all took a look.

Wang Chen looked relaxed, "Suppose there are countless guests in her house, and I will replace this countless with one, and each guest uses half a rice bowl, a third of a soup bowl, and a quarter of a vegetable bowl." ”

Xue Juzheng interrupted: "What is a third? What is a quarter?"

"Oh, this involves a term I've newly developed. Wang Chen explained slightly, "One-third is equivalent to a thing divided into three equal parts, exactly the same size, one of them, a quarter of the same." ”

"I see, it's fun, it's fun. Xue Juzheng was very interested.

Shen Yilun couldn't help but praise: "Jinghai Hou is a mathematical celestial man, and he has reached the realm of founding a sect. ”

"Praise it. Wang Chen modestly continued, "That is to say, by dividing sixty-five bowls by the sum of half a bowl, one-third of a bowl, and a quarter of a bowl, we can get sixty people. ”

It is not uncommon for multiplication and division to appear in ancient China as early as the pre-Qin period.

Xue Juzheng sweated, "No specific steps?"

Wang Chen snorted, "I'm afraid you won't be able to understand it." ”

"You write it. Zhao Kuangyin was also curious.

"Okay. Wang Chen took a brush and wrote on it.

Sixty-five divided by (one/two plus one/three plus one/four).

Wang Chen explained as he spoke.

Everyone looked at Wang Chen with eagerness to learn and listened to him analyze the answer.

Wang Chen said: "Because half a bowl plus a third of a bowl and a quarter of a bowl can't be added directly, so I convert it to the number of bowls with different shares, that is, the number of twelve ......."

As soon as this sentence came out, Xue Ju's face was solemn.

Zhao Kuangyin, who had been sitting lightly, sighed, as if he had discovered a new world.

The rest of the others also looked at Wang Chen with a stunned expression, can they still solve it like this?

Wang Chen was not affected by anyone, and gushed endlessly: "In this way, it becomes 6/12 plus 4/12 plus 3/12, a total of 13/12...... I just explained what this means, and I think you all understand. ”

The vast majority of people present didn't understand, only a group of civil officials who were good at arithmetic seemed to understand something, their eyes flashed, and they felt that they were witnessing the birth of a miracle in the history of arithmetic!

"This ......"

Wang Chen then said: "Thirteen, which represents the number of guests, is equal to sixty-five times twelve points, sixty-five times twelve is equal to seven hundred and eight, and seven hundred and eight divided by thirteen is equal to sixty, which means that the number of guests I assumed earlier 'one' is actually sixty, and I have finished the solution." ”

The question is solved!

Everyone present showed a look of shock!

One of the young officials who was drinking water, the water didn't even reach his mouth, grunted, and fell on the placket of his clothes!

Zhao Kuangyin was stunned, and turned his head to one side, "Xue Xiang......? Right?"

Xue Juzheng looked at the data in his hand that had just been reversed according to the number of sixty people, and gasped, "...... Not bad at all!"

Shi Shouxin almost fainted to the ground, and said in surprise: "That's how you calculated it?"

Wang Chen smiled slightly, "Yes, it's very simple, right?"

You must know that everyone present is basically in a fog, and they don't know what Wang Chen is talking about, Shi Shouxin even wonders if Wang Chen is talking nonsense, after all, he also has no answer to this question, but the data that Xue Juzheng reasoned in reverse is indeed the case, which means that Wang Chen's calculation just now is completely correct!

Are you human??

Wang Chen's hand is simply amazing!

Dozens of people present were shocked, and they all felt that today was a complete eye-opener!
