Chapter 214: 100 dollars to buy 100 chickens
Zhong Guan shook his head and said, "No, no, it's not difficult to say this question, it's not easy to say, but it's really not easy to figure it out!" β
"Is there still such a test in the world? Li Zhuo muttered to himself: "Come on, this official also wants to hear it, how interesting is this test question?" β
Zhong Guan said: "If you want to talk about this question, you have to talk about a person first?" β
Li Zhuo waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, you say it?" β
Everyone in the hall was a little anxious when they saw that the county commander had not come up with the question for a long time, but he was an official and he was a citizen, so it was not good to say anything.
After a pause, the Zhong Guan here continued: "The content of this test question is that there is a chicken Weng one today, which is worth five; The hen is one, and it is worth three; Three chicks are worth one. Where 100 dollars buy 100 chickens. Q: What are the chicks of the chickens? β
When Li Zhuo heard this, his eyes lit up: "This test question is really chic?" It's just that these talents, reciting the Four Books and the Five Classics, may not be able to answer? I wonder if anyone has solved this question? β
Zhong Guan nodded and said, "What you want to say below is the person who answers this?" β
Li Zhuo originally just asked casually, but he didn't expect someone to answer it, but when he heard Zhong Guan's words, he was slightly taken aback, and said in his heart: "This test question is quite difficult at a glance, and the person who can remove this test question is only afraid that it is not an ordinary person?" β
Zhong Guandao: "It is said that during the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was a "prodigy" in the north of our country, who was quick to reflect and had excellent computing ability. People near and far like to come to him for arithmetic questions. β
Li Zhuo nodded lightly and said, "Prodigy, really extraordinary?" β
Zhong Guan continued: "The fame of the "prodigy" is getting bigger and bigger, and it has reached the ears of the prime minister at that time. One day, in order to find out whether the "prodigy" was true or false, the prime minister specially called the father of the "prodigy" and gave him 100 yuan to bring 100 chickens the next day. And it is stipulated that there must be roosters, hens and chicks among a hundred chickens, and they are not allowed to have more or less, and they must be exactly one hundred dollars and one hundred chickens.
At that time, it cost five pennies to buy a rooster, three pennies to buy a hen, and three chicks to buy a penny?
"W-can this be done?" Li Zhuo asked with an incredible face.
Zhong Guan said with a smile: "The prodigy thought for a while, and told his father that he only needed to send four roosters, eighteen hens, and seventy-eight chicks. β
"Is it a true god?" Li Zhuo sighed softly, even more interested in this test question.
Zhong Guan continued, "The next day, the prime minister was surprised to see that the chickens sent were just enough to satisfy a hundred dollars and a hundred chickens. He thought about it for a while, and gave another hundred dollars to send another hundred chickens tomorrow, and stipulated that there were only four roosters. β
"That's too hard, isn't it?" Li Zhuo frowned and thought for a while, then sighed to himself.
Zhong Guan smiled and said, "The adults think this problem is too difficult, but the little prodigy doesn't think so?" β
Li Zhuo was taken aback, his eyes widened, and he said, "You meanββ? β
Zhong Guan nodded and said, "This question didn't stump the "prodigy" either. He thought for a while, and then asked his father to send eight roosters, eleven hens, and eighty-one chicks. He also told his father that when he encountered similar problems, he could do whatever he could. The next day, the prime minister saw the hundred chickens that had been delivered and was amazed. He gave another hundred dollars and asked to send another hundred chickens next time.
Unexpectedly, after a while, the father of the "child prodigy" sent a hundred chickens. The prime minister counted: 12 roosters, 4 hens, and 84 chicks, which is just enough to meet the ...... of 100 dollars and 100 chickens. β
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
When Li Zhuo heard this, he somewhat understood, and lowered his voice and said, "This prodigy can solve this problem so quickly, could it be that there are some tricks?" β
Zhong Guan said: "It's true, it's just that the lowly position is shallow and I don't know." However, today's people who have been engaged in businessmen for many years, and they are afraid of a lot of problems such as encountering problems, and adults take this as a test question, first, you can also try the ability of these businessmen, and secondly, this test question is not in the poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but it also meets the requirements, I don't know what the adults want? β
Although Li Zhuo doesn't understand the mystery of this hundred chickens, what Zhong Guan said does have some truth, and how much money and how many things to buy do have some connection with the merchants, so it makes sense to use this as a test question? After thinking about it for a while, he turned around and said with a smile to the full house of businessmen: "Yang Gongzi, this first test question is here, bother Yang Gongzi to send pen and paper?" β
"Come on, pen, ink, paper, inkstone!" Yang Yifeng shouted at the crowd, and the Yang family had already gone.
Not long after, a family member in the Yang family's mansion walked up panting with a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
Li Zhuo nodded at the family and said, "Tired?" After speaking, he picked up a piece of rice paper, then picked a lake pen, and carried the pen on the rice paper like flying.
Yang Zheng stood in the distance, and happened to see Li Zhuoyun's pen like flying, writing a line of calligraphy, flowing water, warm and beautiful penmanship, strict law and vivid attitude. Although there is no majestic momentum, it has the style of Jin and Tang calligraphy, as if there is everyone's style.
In addition to the eight strands of literature in the Ming Dynasty, the election of officials, must have good facial features, the same talented two people, handsome people from the official is much easier, but if a person calligraphy is also very good-looking, then it is undoubtedly perfect.
In Yang Zheng's opinion, Li Zhuo is such a person, although his facial features are not handsome and chic, but fortunately, he is upright, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, high nose, and three locks of long beard under his chin.
After about a cup of tea, Li Zhuo put down the penmanship in his hand, looked at the rice paper and muttered silently a few times, and saw that there was no mistake, so he smiled at the family Ding: "Bother this little brother to post it?" β
That Ding Na thought that the dignified Hangzhou County Order was so approachable, for such a subordinate as him, he spoke politely, and he was already excited, and nodded vigorously when he heard the words, holding the rice paper respectfully, and the flattering look seemed to be not a declaration, but a holy decree.
In the midst of everyone's laughter, the family Ding posted Li Zhuo's test questions in the hall.
The talents who have been waiting for a long time have already flocked to the competition, scrambling to see the first test question of the competition.
"Today there is one chicken, which is worth five; The hen is one, and it is worth three; Three chicks are worth one. Where 100 dollars buy 100 chickens. Q: What are the chicks of the chickens? β
In the crowd, I don't know who chattered first, followed by many people began to complain.
"What kind of test question is this, buy 100 chickens for 100 dollars. Q: What are the chicks of the chickens? How do I know this? β
"That's it, that is, we are familiar with the Four Books and the Five Classics, how have we ever seen this trivial thing in the book, starvation is a small matter, and a loss of festival is a big thing, so don't answer this test question!"
It's the first time I've thought of such a test question, but those businessmen think it's a little interesting, but this question is too difficult, and I buy 100 chickens for 100 dollars. Q: What are the chicks of the chickens? They really can't figure it out.
The dissatisfied voices in the crowd quickly filled the lobby, Yang Zheng had been standing behind him, and he hadn't seen the topic clearly, until the talented people in front of him saw the title, shook their heads and retreated dissatisfied, and he squeezed to the front with the prince surnamed Wang.
"Brother Yang - Brother Yang ββ?" Yang Zheng was crowding in front, and suddenly heard someone calling him, turned his head to look, but saw Li Yan'er in the crowd waving her little hand, which looked extremely happy, as if Yang Zheng would definitely be able to answer this test question.
"It's too early to refuel, isn't it?" Yang Zheng walked over and said with a smile.
"Hmph, with your talent, this test question is not easy to catch!" Li Yan'er glanced at him and pouted.
"Do you really trust me?" Yang Zheng was embarrassed, not to mention that he hadn't seen this test question yet, but he had seen it, seeing these talented people, all shaking their heads, I thought that the test question must be even more difficult, can it be answered, not necessarily?
"Hmph, people, when did people not believe it? On the contrary, it is you, a manly husband, who speaks backwards and does not believe in your words? β
Yang Zheng was embarrassed, and was about to speak, when he suddenly felt that his sleeve had been pulled, and he hurriedly turned his head to look, but saw where the second lady was standing with a displeased face, as if she was an angry little daughter-in-law, and her complaining appearance was enough to kill anyone in seconds.
"How do you look like a deep resentful woman?" Yang Zheng muttered and said with a smile: "Second Miss, why are you here, shouldn't you sit there and drink tea?" β
The second lady snorted and glanced at him, then at Li Yan'er, and said angrily: "It's a good thing to disturb you, right?" β
Yang Zheng sweated and said, "Where is this?" β
The second lady looked angry, and said in a salty tone: "Sister asked me to sue you, you are still a contract worker of the Peng family, you are here to work, not to fall in love?" β
Yang Zheng sweated profusely, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Understood, understood, let's go!" β
smiled at Li Yan'er, didn't dare to stay longer, and walked towards the test question.
