Li Tai also spoke: "Father, the sons are also like Master Chunfeng, when they learned that the Hou of Zhulu had solved the Hundred Chickens question, they admired it in their hearts, so they came to study, but they didn't expect it to be self-defeating, it was really the fault of the sons." ”

Li Mu also glanced at him, and said in his heart, how can this little fat man call everyone Master, fortunately, Lao Tzu didn't agree to be your master, otherwise wouldn't it seem very cheap?

Li Shimin saw that both of them said so, so he said to Li Mu: "Li Mu, since you have published the newspaper to publicize your four algorithms, you must also have the intention of wanting this algorithm to be implemented in the world. I know many learned and famous people, but I don't want you to be the same. If you are willing to teach, I will let the king of Yue worship you as a teacher, and at your age, you can be the prince's teacher, which is already respected. What do you think? ”

This sentence translates to be, Lao Tzu asked you to be my son's tutor because you can afford you, don't be embarrassed!

In fact, the prince's teachers are all Confucians. For example, the two masters of the crown prince Li Chengqian, one is Kong Yingda, who is the queen of Confucius, and teaches him the way of a saint. The other is Lu Deming, a great scholar of scripture, who teaches his articles on scriptures. Li Tai here, there is a famous prime minister in the previous dynasty, Wang Qi, the leader of the Taiyuan Wang family. It can be said that if you are not famous in the world, you are not qualified to be the prince's teacher.

If Li Mu is the prince's master at the age of seventeen, his reputation will surely spread all over the world, and it will also be extremely beneficial to his personal prestige. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is lifting.

But Li Mu didn't want to accept this feeling.

Li Mu got up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister can feel His Majesty's support. But please forgive the sins, the minister must not do such things that are contrary to the righteousness of the king. ”

Li Shimin frowned and said, "Don't you want to teach my son?" ”

"No," Li Mu hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to teach His Royal Highness King Yue, but the minister can't accept him as a disciple." ”

Li Shimin snorted angrily and said, "Are those reasons you just said? Do you think I'm obese? ”

Your Majesty explained. Li Mu took a deep breath and said the reason he had just thought of: "Your Majesty, the teacher, and the elders." The difference between the minister and His Royal Highness the King of Yue is less than ten years old, although there is no particular order in which the Tao is heard, and there is also my teacher in the threesome, and it is understandable for the minister to be the master of His Royal Highness the King of Yue. But what the minister cares more about in his heart is indeed the courtesy between the minister and His Majesty. The minister's father-in-law is Li Ji, the Duke of Cao Guo, who is the same generation as the minister's father-in-law. The minister is a generation younger than His Majesty, and the same generation as His Royal Highness King Yue. But if the minister becomes the teacher of His Royal Highness King Yue, the minister will be a generation higher than His Royal Highness King Yue, and the same generation as His Majesty and father-in-law. In this way, the minister, first, can not be the whole courtesy of the monarch and the minister, and second, can not be the whole filial piety. Therefore, the minister can teach His Royal Highness King Yue, but the minister cannot be the teacher of His Royal Highness King Yue. ”

Li Mu's remarks are reasonable and reasonable, and people really can't find fault with them. Even Li Shimin himself fell into Li Mu's logic, and secretly said in his heart, Li Mu was right, he did something wrong because he was so dangerous. remembered that day in Taimiao, his father threatened to accept Li Mu as his godson in front of important ministers, and later the ministers advised him to only accept him into the Li clan, but the generation was not specified. Now, if the King of Wei is allowed to worship him as a teacher, wouldn't it be equivalent to me acquiescing to him being my contemporary? If this is spread out, how will you see people in front of the Manchu Dynasty in the future?

Thinking about it again, the prince's teacher is really not as old as Li Mu, and the youngest one is Li Chunfeng who was called Master Chunfeng by Li Tai in front of him, but although he is called Master, he is not Li Tai's real teacher, but he has only taught him arithmetic. Even so, Li Chunfeng is twenty-eight years old this year, and Li Shimin himself is only thirty-two, which is barely the same generation. And Li Mu is only seventeen this year, which is not a lifetime in any case.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin was a little grateful to Li Mu.

"Aiqing is reasonable, but I owe it to consideration." Li Shimin thought about it, it was better to set Li Mu's seniority in the clan, lest his father take advantage of his absence to accept Li Mu as his godson on a whim, so he said: "Since the seniority is wrong, the matter of apprenticeship will be suspended." I also remembered that on that day, I told the temple that day, and my father had pawned you into the clan. In this way, you and Qingque are cousins. Although I am the Son of Heaven, I will not disown my relatives. You and the green finch will be called brothers from now on. You are much older than the green sparrow, and the elder brother brings the younger brother, which makes sense. I have an explanation from my father. ”

Li Tai was overjoyed when he heard this, and he was afraid that Li Mu would not agree, so he quickly bowed to the end and said, "Please ask my brother to be worshiped by my foolish brother." ”

"Oops, how does this work." Li Mu hurriedly supported Li Tai and said, "The minister doesn't dare, don't dare!" ”

Li Shimin turned his face and said, "The matter of your entry into the clan is determined by your father. Now you don't dare, do you want to fall into a situation of disobedience and unfilial piety? ”

When it came to this, Li Mu had no choice but to respond and salute Li Shimin: "That little nephew has seen his uncle." ”

"......" Li Shimin heard that Li Mu was not a minister but called his uncle, and he instantly regretted it in his heart. This kid is smooth and tight, and he doesn't have a word of truth in his mouth, he didn't have the idea from the beginning. Could it be that I was tricked by him? Although he guessed so much in his heart, he couldn't show it on his face, otherwise wouldn't it be equivalent to admitting that he had been tricked by Li Mu. Li Shimin cleared his throat, sank his face and said: "It's okay to call a few uncles in private, but the courtesy of the monarch and the minister cannot be abolished, you must know it in your heart." ”

These words are equivalent to warning Li Mu, I already know your careful thoughts, don't kick your nose in the face again.

Li Mu accepted it when he saw it, and said, "The minister knows." ”

From beginning to end, Li Chunfeng didn't say a word, as if he wasn't in the house. Li Shimin doesn't seem to shy away from him, and he has no scruples when he speaks.

With all the gossip out of the way, let's get to the point. Li Mu asked his subordinates to bring paper and pencils, and there was no table in the lobby, so Li Mu spread the rice paper on the ground and squatted on the ground to calculate for Li Tai and Li Chunfeng.

In fact, the reason why Li Mu was able to give an answer quickly was because he had done this question. He only remembered it last night, because it had been so long. When he was learning C language, there was an example problem, which was this hundred chicken question, which should be an example problem that anyone who studied computer programming at his age had done. That's why he remembered it so much that he formed the so-called C language instinct.

He still remembers the standard answer to the question.

【#include int main(){ int i，j; for(i=0; i<100; i++) for(j=0; j<100; j++){if(15*i+9*j+(100-i-j)==300) printf(“%d，%d，%d“，i，j，(100-i-j)); }}】．

But at this point, obviously he couldn't do a programming, so he had to use the simplest ternary equation to solve it.

How to make this simple equation more simple and easy to understand is the problem that Li Mu is facing.

Li Mu held the pen, hesitated for a long time, and did not write a word. Li Shimin, who was sitting next to him, couldn't bear his fat son squatting hard, and couldn't help urging: "Li Mu, hurry up." ”

Li Mu sighed and said: "The minister really doesn't know how to explain, the method used by the minister is created by the minister himself, if you want to understand, you have to follow the minister's method, if it is according to the original calculation, the minister really can't." ”

Li Chunfeng hurriedly said: "Master Hou just has to speak, and if the lower official says something unashamed, he will be in arithmetic." If the subordinate officials can't understand, then there is nothing they can understand. Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong, and made up for it: "Of course, in front of the Hou Ye, the lower official can only be regarded as a post-learner, and please ask the Hou Ye to teach, if the lower official does not understand, he will ask the Hou Ye a question." ”

Li Tai also said: "Brother, the foolish brother is also willing to learn." ”

"Okay, then I'll start from the beginning, if you don't understand, just ask."

Li Mu said, writing the letters 'a' and 'b' on the paper, he hesitated for a moment, and decided to use binary, ternary he was afraid that it would be more difficult to explain.

Li Chunfeng is really a real person, and when he saw something he didn't understand, he immediately asked, "Master Hou, I don't know what these two symbols mean?" Why isn't it in Datang Daily? ”

"Are these two symbols ......" Li Mu originally wanted to make a perfunctory sentence, but then thought about it, although the Tang Dynasty could not use English, but the local dialects were still very difficult to understand, if it can popularize pinyin, it is also a good thing, and it can also make more children literate, so he changed his words: "This is another set of symbols I invented, called 'phonetic characters', at this time to use, you can use it as a symbol." ”

"Phonetics?" Li Tai asked curiously, "Is it Gong Shangjiao Zhengyu?" He pointed to A and said to himself, "Is this the meaning of the 'gong' sound?" ”

"It's not!" Li Mu was about to lose patience, and said: "The matter of phonetic characters, let's talk about it later, let's solve the problem first, okay?" I haven't eaten yet! ”

"Oh, this is the fault of the foolish brother. The foolish brother ate a big bowl of pimple soup at noon, but he was not hungry, but he forgot his brother. The little fat man got up, went to the baggage and took a piece of beef jerky and handed it to Li Mu, his eyes were full of sincerity: "Brother said while eating." ”

Li Mu looked at Li Tai and was speechless in his heart, you are really my good brother, can't you let your brother have a meal before talking?

But under Li Shimin's gaze, this kind of thing was not dared to say in any case, he took the beef jerky and stuffed it into his mouth, and continued: "Now let's look at this question, a rooster is worth five, a hen is worth three, and a chicken is worth three. Buy 100 chickens for 100 dollars, ask the rooster male, female, and chicks? He pointed to A and said, "I call this letter 'Ah'." ”

"Brother, why is it called 'ah' and not 'ah'?"

Li Mu glared at Li Tai angrily, the pen in his hand was about to be pinched, and now he finally understood why the teacher always beat people when he was in elementary school. Bear children who don't understand anything are really annoying!

Li Mu turned his back to Li Shimin, gritted his teeth and said: "I invented these phonetic words, I want it to be called 'ah' and it is 'ah', do you still want to learn it?" ”

Li Tai didn't dare to talk nonsense, and said honestly: "I know, this is 'ah'." ”

"This is a 'wave.'"

"Brother, why ......?"

Crunch...... The barrel of the pen is still broken.
