Chapter 31: The Secret Art of the Ghost Valley

Chu Yang nodded.

There is no surprise about what the county has done.

From the situation on that day, he could see that this Ren County Cheng and the Wang family brothers were originally the same dog.

is so blatantly embarrassed by Xiao He, I am afraid that he did not mean to warn himself.

Chu Yang smiled faintly, and the corners of his mouth hooked a trace of arc.

"Did you bring the account book?"

Let's not talk about Xiao He's righteousness that day, even if it is because of Xiao Ruolan's relationship, he will not stand idly by.

"I happened to have a copy here, Childe, please take a look."

Xiao He didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly handed over the account book.

Chu Yang flipped a few pages and then co-authored the account book.

It is said that it is an account book, but in fact, it is more like some running accounts, which simply record income and expenses.

It is completely different from those four-pillar settlement methods and Longmen accounting methods in later generations.

At present, the biggest difficulty is not that the ledger is complicated, but that the amount of computation is too large.

"How about your numbers?"

Chu Yang looked at Xiao He and already had an idea in his heart.

"Counting the number of ......"

Xiao He's face turned red, and he suddenly became distracted.

In fact, he is not good at mathematics and other things, otherwise he would not hand over the business of Baolai Pavilion to his sister to take care of.

"I'll go! No way! ”

Chu Yang was slightly stunned, and then sighed.

It seems that this matter has to be taught from the beginning.

"I'm not afraid of stupidity, I'm afraid of not working hard, do you know what kind of people in this world deserve to be strong?"

Facing Chu Yang's questioning, Xiao He shook his head in confusion.

"Surpass yourself in your shortcomings, and surpass yourself in your strengths!"

"Boom!"

Chu Yang's words echoed in Xiao He's head like a bell, and after a while, Xiao He came back to his senses, his face full of respect.

"What Childe taught me is that Xiao He should be angry and strong!"

Chu Yang nodded, and then asked Fan Xu to bring a sand table and write some symbol-like things on it.

"This is my secret technique of Guigu, called the Divine Algorithm, the method of today's calculation, too clumsy, with this Divine Calculation Method, you will get twice the result with half the effort!"

Xiao He's face was shocked, and his eyes looking at Chu Yang were full of excitement.

Oh, my God! This is the secret art of the Ghost Valley!

Ordinary people may not have even heard of it, but he, Xiao He, is fortunate to see it today!

He pinched his thigh hard, and with the sour pain came ecstasy in his heart.

"It's 1,2,3,4......"

Chu Yang wrote down the Arabic numerals that were all too familiar to later generations, and also gave Xiao He the four rules of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

Xiao He's face became puzzled.

What kind of Taoist mantra is this?

But it seems a little weird, and it doesn't have the ability to call the wind and rain!

"Come, follow the method I taught you, and try to calculate what three hundred and twenty-six plus one hundred and seventy-two is?"

Chu Yang handed the branch to Xiao He with a faint smile on his face.

"Young Master Chu, this ...... Is this useful? Xiao He looked a little embarrassed.

With such a large number, even if you use the math, I'm afraid it will be better for a while.

"Count?"

Chu Yang patted his head, and then remembered that in this era, there is not even an abacus, and the most used by people to calculate accounts is made of bamboo.

"Don't worry so much, just do what I taught you!" Chu Yang ordered.

Xiao He nodded with a wry smile, and with apprehension listed Chu Yang's algorithm just now.

After a simple calculation, he looked at Chu Yang with some weakness.

"Could it be...... Four hundred and ninety-eight? ”

"Haha! It's okay, you, you learned it so quickly, come on, come on, and then calculate seven hundred and sixty-three minus four hundred and thirty......-one," Chu Yang said with a smile.

This time, Xiao He's speed was a few points faster than before.

"Three hundred and thirty-two?"

"Not bad, not bad! One more, five hundred and sixty-seven plus four hundred and thirty-five and subtract one hundred and twenty-six ......"

The more Xiao He calculated, the more frightened he felt.

According to his original speed, it would take at least three or four days to complete an account book, which had to be verified with the calculation chips made of bamboo, one by one.

But if the current method is used, Xiao He believes that it only takes an hour to complete the accounting.

All at once, the time is shortened by dozens of times!

Xiao He looked at Chu Yang with a touched face, and his eyes were already red.

"I just told the truth at the banquet, and Master Chu has such a great affection for me! This is the secret art of the Ghost Valley! It was so easy to teach me......"

He came to Chu Yang with a solemn expression and bowed deeply.

"The teacher is above, please accept Xiao He's worship!"

Xiao He's worship is a gift of apprenticeship.

One day is a teacher and a father for life, and now he worships Chu Yang, so after this, he has to wait by his side like a master and a father.

Chu Yang helped Xiao He up, and his heart was also refreshed.

This is a generation of famous ministers, Xiao He, and now he is actually his own apprentice.

If those people in future generations know, how much face they will have.

"In the past two days, you can practice more in my house, the number of techniques is unfathomable, and the 'magic algorithm' you just learned is just a drop in the ocean, don't be complacent."

"Disciple obeys!" Xiao He said respectfully.

In the next two days, Xiao He received Chu Yang's teachings during the day, and returned to the yamen at night to continue settling accounts.

Looking at the mountain of account books behind him, Xiao He was full of energy.

This time, he represented not only himself, but also Chu Yang and the Guigu Master behind him.

Therefore, in this battle, only victory is allowed, not defeat!

Seeing that the night was approaching, Xiao He lit a candle in the account room.

At the same time, in the inner house of the county government, a room was also brightly lit.

A young official in Tsing Yi was standing beside Ren Xiancheng with a flattering face, with a flattering face.

"How's it going? What's so unusual about that guy these days? ”

The two graceful maids rubbed Ren Xiancheng's shoulders, and the latter looked like he was enjoying it.

The little official in Tsing Yi secretly glanced at the maid, his eyes flashed with greed, and then bowed his head and said:

"Back to the county honor, Xiao He has nothing abnormal in the past two days, but he will stay in the Chuyang Mansion all day during the day, and then go back to the account room at night to settle accounts."

"Oh?"

A different color flashed in Ren Xiancheng's eyes.

"Could it be that he wants that Chu Yang to make a move? How much is left in the books? ”

The situation of the last banquet is still vivid, and Ren Xiancheng is also a little jealous of Chu Yang's trick-like methods.

"Don't worry, the subordinates have already checked it personally, and there are nearly a hundred volumes in the account books, even if you call that Chu Yang, it will be useless, this time Xiao He is dead!"

When Ren Xiancheng heard this, he nodded, with a satisfied expression on his face.

"Although the court ordered the old man to temporarily take charge of the political affairs of Pei County, but the letter of appointment of the county order did not come down for a day, the old man was just a county official, and the title of the county was not appropriate, so don't call it again in the future......

"Apart from you, who else in this Pei County is qualified to be the county commander, according to the subordinates, it is only a matter of time. Don't be modest. The little official in Tsing Yi said with a smile.

Ren Xiancheng nodded and pushed a maid beside him over.

"You did a good job this time, Qiuyue will reward you, and after the deed is completed, there will be another reward! Remember, this time it's going to be ironclad, you know! ”

Hearing this, the little official in Tsing Yi showed a look of great joy on his face and nodded again and again.

"Xiao He, don't blame our colleagues, only blame you for offending people who shouldn't be offended!"

……

After two days of systematic training, Xiao He has become extremely proficient in the four algorithms of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

He came to Chu Yang's mansion early in the morning and continued to complete the homework assigned to him by Chu Yang.

Before I knew it, it was noon.

"Teacher, today is the deadline, the students want to go back early and finish the rest of the account books, I don't know if it's okay?" Xiao He bowed and said.

"How much is left in the books?" Chu Yang asked with a smile.

"Also...... There are dozens of volumes ......" Xiao He looked embarrassed.

Chu Yang nodded secretly

Being able to dispose of so many account books in such a short period of time shows that Xiao He has worked hard.

"Is there just enough time left for you?"

"This ......"

Xiao He raised his head and finally shook his head.

The method taught by the teacher is magical, but the amount of calculation is still too large, even if he doesn't eat or drink, it is still a little difficult after all.

Just as Xiao He was about to accept his fate, Chu Yang laughed.

"I made you familiar with the law before, but I just wanted you to understand the principle behind the magic algorithm, and now that you want to solve the problem of speed, you naturally have to find another way."

In Xiao He's puzzled expression, he saw Chu Yang take out a small black box from his arms, and there were many buttons on it.

Chu Yang basked the small box in the sun for a while, and then pressed his finger on a striking red button.

The next moment, the little black box suddenly remembered a mechanical sound.

"Zeroing ......"
