Actuaries generally refer to mathematical professionals employed by insurance companies who combine their professional knowledge and skills in mathematics, statistics, economics, finance and financial management to analyze and evaluate the impact of uncertain cash flows on future financial positions in insurance, finance and other fields.

To put it simply, the work they do doesn't want to be seen by non-math talents, and the kind of mathematicians who will vomit if they see too much.

Actuaries in the gambling industry use data to determine the probability of each outcome in the gambling process, and then adjust the odds to help the bookmaker extract a certain profit.

It is precisely because of the actuary that the bookmakers in the football lottery industry no longer have to care about the outcome of the game, because for them, as long as they receive enough bets, they can take more profits from them.

This is why we often see that the odds are constantly adjusting dynamically in the process of betting, because the bookmaker needs to make sure that he can get a stable rake.

And in modern times, the dynamic adjustment of odds by actuaries has been programmed and automated, that is, no matter how bizarre the game is, the bookmaker can always make money.

Of course, in the Song Dynasty, it was difficult to automate programming, and it was also difficult to find a group of skilled actuary. But correspondingly, with the mathematical level of the people of the Song Dynasty, Xun Ze only needs to hand over some simple formulas that actuaries need to use to Gao Yu, and then let Gao Yu find a group of math practitioners in the Song Dynasty to make money.

As long as the road is pointed out, people will spontaneously continue to study for the sake of profit, and eventually make the football lottery dealer give up the road of manipulating the game and choose a stable commission.

"Teacher, I can memorize these strange character formulas when you ask me to memorize them. After listening to the method called Xunze, Gao Yu thought about it and said aggrievedly, "But where can I find so many people who can understand formulas or arithmetic when I go back?" Our Great Song can promote talents, not counting them. ”

"Who's to say you can't find a lot of people who do math. Xun Ze had already thought about this question, he pointed to his head and said to Gao Yu, "Think about it, what does your senior brother Li Bai do." ”

"The one who opened the Sword Pavilion. Gao Yu blurted out.

"Well, what will the apprentices in the Sword Pavilion learn besides learning swordsmanship?" asked Xun Ze to continue to guide.

"Count!" Gao Yu remembered. Because of the relationship called Xun Ze, in the sword hall established by Li Bai after he went back, all the apprentices had to learn some arithmetic to a greater or lesser extent.

After hundreds of years of development, these sword halls were not very mixed because of the Song Dynasty's emphasis on literature and martial arts. But every sword hall has some mathematical talents to a greater or lesser extent.

As long as he can recruit these talents, then he will have enough actuaries to open casinos!

"You have always been smart, so before your senior brother leaves, you must have asked your senior brother for something to ensure that you can get the help of the Sword Pavilion in the Song Dynasty. Named Xun Ze continued.

"Yes, teacher. Gao Yu hurriedly admitted, "Senior Brother Li Bai gave me a mantra so that I could rely on this mantra to get a help from the Qinglian lineage. ”

This Li Bai is quite good at playing, and it seems that he has watched a lot of TV series and novels in modern times.

"In addition to allowing you to get the help of the Qinglian lineage once, the mantra can also give you access to people in the swordsmanship circle. Calling Xun Ze's fingers tapped on the table, and then said, "The social atmosphere of the Great Song Chongwen will definitely affect the livelihood of the Sword Pavilion. Therefore, the income of the sword hall must not be too much, and at this time, if you go to the sword hall to hire a swordsman who can count, they will generally not refuse. It doesn't matter if the mantra Li Bai gave you is used or not, it's just a stepping stone. ”

"The student understood. Gao Yu hurriedly said, "That student will be reciting all kinds of arithmetic formulas from today." ”

"Take a day off today, and I'll find a teacher to teach you tomorrow. "Xun Ze has been the most annoying math since he was a child, of course, he will not understand the knowledge that actuaries need to master, he is going to ask Xiao Hei at night or directly contact the football lottery company through the relationship of the swordsmanship association, and borrow a few actuarials.

"Xiu, come here. After Gao Yu left, he asked Xun Ze to wave Liu Xiu over.

"Hello teacher. Liu Xiu still respectfully greeted Xun Ze.

"Have you seen your life? "Call Xun Ze to ask.

"I've seen it. Liu Xiu lowered his head, thought for a while, and then said, "Teacher, is that life mistaken, I and the emperor who is also called Liu Xiu may just have the same name?"

So unconfident.

Asked Xunze to glance at Liu Xiu and found that the child's expression of disbelief was indeed not pretended.

"The information I showed you also recorded the deeds of Emperor Guangwu before he was nineteen years old. Yu Xunze said softly, "I guess you also saw it, don't you think that's not you?"

"I don't know. Liu Xiu hurriedly shook his head.

When Liu Xiu was nineteen years old, Wang Mang had already usurped the Han Dynasty successfully. Although the emperor has changed people, because this coup d'état was launched in the court, there is no great chaos in the world, and Wang Mang's rule is solid. Liu Xiu, as a young man from a wealthy family in the countryside, although he is also a member of the Han family, has no idea that he can be an emperor in the future.

After all, if someone suddenly came over and said to Xun Ze that you can be the president of the United States in the future, Yu Xun Ze would definitely not believe it.

Calling Xun Ze, a modern person who is used to reading YY novels and movies, can't believe it, let alone Liu Xiu, a person who lives in ancient times.

So Xun Ze completely understood Liu Xiu's thoughts, he skipped this question and asked Liu Xiu kindly, "Whether you can become an emperor in the future or not, it's not something that needs to be considered now." You're here to study with me. So, is there anything you'd like to learn from me?"

"I didn't think about it. Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "I don't know what I need to learn." ”

What Liu Xiu needs to learn, in fact, Xun Ze doesn't have a good idea in his heart. After all, people are destined to be emperors in the future, where can they study as hard as Gao Yu to change their fate.

Even if the life in ancient times is not as comfortable as in modern times, but the ancient emperor is the kind of 'Son of Heaven is angry and floating for thousands of miles', and it is a lifelong system, in some respects, even the president of the United States will be envious, and life is destined to stand at this height, and there is definitely no need to work hard.

I can make money lying down, so why should I stand up?

"Then I'll give you a task. There was no way to call Xun Ze, he said to Liu Xiu, "This week, I won't arrange any classes for you, you can get in touch with modern society more and see what you are interested in." ”

"I understand the teacher. Liu Xiu also wanted to give herself some time to ease her mood.

You say that I am a poor boy fighting cocks in the countryside, how can I become an emperor in the future?
