Above the main hall, Gan Qi approached from the door and stepped forward to salute.

Gan Qi already knew about the matter, looked at the situation left and right, and was quite tense, and Bao Zheng's big black face was particularly conspicuous.

Before the emperor could speak, Bao Zheng had a violent temper, so he walked directly to Gan Qi and asked: "Dao Jian, Your Majesty is in person, if you come like this, do you have anything to do with opening a gambling house outside the city?" ”

Bao Zheng's appearance at this time was a little vicious, and there was more anger in the viciousness.

Gan Qi and Bao Zheng bowed slightly, looked up at Emperor Zhao Zhen, and then spoke: "Back to Your Majesty, the student is outside the southern city, and he really opened a game entertainment workshop, which is still in operation, but moved outside Ganjia Village. ”

Zhang Fangping was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "Caifang, what Caifang?" A gambling house is a gambling house, my Great Song Dynasty law, that is clearly forbidden gambling, how can a sage and a child of a sage use such a means to accumulate money? ”

Gan Qi hurriedly said: "The color square is the color square, and the gambling house is the gambling house." In my Caifang, there is not a single dice, not a pai gow, and there has never been a single usury coin. Among them, the game of fun was invented by the students themselves recently, and it is also some of the students' recent experience in studying the Ming Arithmetic subject. ”

Zhang Fangping heard Gan Qi say this, and immediately said: "Gan Daojian, Your Majesty is in front of you, how can you be so clever and eloquent." You opened a gambling shop, and you still called it a research department? It's funny. ”

Ming arithmetic is a small subject in the imperial examination, which is actually mathematics, or arithmetic is more appropriate. The test is the ability to calculate, there are books such as "Nine Chapters" and "Five Classics of Calculation", and it is impossible for people who are officials to not even know basic arithmetic, especially Wang Anshi, who works in the Ministry of Finance, must be proficient in this way.

Obviously, Zhang Fangping has actually done some investigations in some aspects, such as Ganqi's lottery is really no dice and pai gow, and there is no clear definition of gambling. Zhang Fangping probably did not find any evidence of Gan Qi's usury, and such a thing as usury is illegal in any dynasty or generation. Come to think of it, this is also a lot of foresight on the part of Ganch.

However, Zhao Zhen finally opened his mouth and asked, "Tell me about your game method." ”

Gan Qi was really clever in his words: "Back to Your Majesty, the student's method of playing the game is derived from the theory of probability, and the student is studying it. ”

"Probability? What do you mean? Zhao Zhen asked.

The big flicker Gan Qi is about to start his work again: "Your Majesty, the so-called probability is the possibility of things happening, in short, for example, the Kaifeng Mansion exam, a total of 2,365 students applied for the examination, and one hundred and twenty-three were selected, so theoretically speaking, the probability of winning the examination is 52 out of 1,000, and for every 1,000 candidates, there are 52 people who are selected." This is a simple probabilistic algorithm. Students design a game in which a random wheel is used to select numbers from zero to nine, and a total of three random numbers are selected for the draw, in any combination. Guests can also choose a set of three numbers to bet on, and if they win, they can get 500 times the prize. This is the way to play in the student workshop. ”

When Zhao Zhen heard this, he thought for a while and asked, "What do you mean, if I buy a consistent amount of money on a number, if I win it, I can get a bonus of five hundred yuan?" ”

Gan Qi nodded: "That's it." For example, if Your Majesty chooses the three numbers of six, seven, or eight, the wheel will spin immediately, and if there is a number of six, seven, or eight in the end, your Majesty will get a bonus of 500 yuan. ”

"Five hundred for one? Isn't it too high? Can you really make money like this? Zhao Zhen was a little puzzled.

"Your Majesty, this is the way of probability, because there are a total of 1,000 combinations from zero zero to 999, so it stands to reason that the probability of winning the lottery in each combination number is 1 in 1,000, and the student just wants to try whether the probability of this theory is really the case in reality. If this is the case, then the student will pay 500 times for each number, and then he will make money. If not, the student will lose money. Ganchi replied.

Zhao Zhen seemed to find it really interesting, and asked again: "Then did you make money or lose money?" ”

Gan Qi replied proudly: "Your Majesty, the student has made money. Therefore, students feel that this theory of probability is very consistent with reality and theory. This is different from gambling, and please see it from Your Majesty. ”

Zhao Zhen asked again: "Can someone win 500 times the bonus?" ”

"Your Majesty, there are countless people who have won the lottery, every day, and even more than one person has won the lottery. Students also lose and win every day, but overall, students still make money. That's the fun of the way of probability. Gan Qi said again.

Zhao Zhen nodded, with a slight smile, and asked, "Everyone?" Do you think Gan Daojian's method is gambling? ”

Zhang Fangping had already spoken: "Your Majesty, whether it is gambling or not, this method is also a way to collect money without hard work, as a son of a sage, how can you find such a way to collect money regardless of the means?" ”

Gan Qi immediately replied: "If you want to talk about gambling, everyone here, who dares to say that he has not gambled?" Have you ever cast a pot? Have you ever used a pitcher to gamble with others? Even if you are in a high position now and have no time to have fun, haven't you done such a thing when you were young? Students are just delving into the calculations, discovering some of these mysteries, and then putting them into practice to verify. ”

"Clever name, try every possible way to defraud the people of money, are you still so reasonable? Is it for you to make money? Zhang Fangping has some sense.

Gan Qi said more reasonably: "Before the students do it, who dares to pack tickets for the students to make money with this method?" At first, the students just wanted to test whether such a theory could be felt. Now that I have made money, it is that the students' thoughts and ideas have been verified. If he hadn't made any money, I wonder if this Zhang Xiang Guild would think that the student was doing charity? ”

After saying this, the big black-faced Bao Zheng laughed.

"Gan Daojian, how do you talk to the envoy? Scholars, it is not right to accumulate wealth, competing for profits with the people, let alone a gentleman's doing, Your Majesty in person, you still do not repent, you have to say that collecting wealth is to study knowledge, how can there be such a truth in this world? "Zhang Fangping, a scholar, can't blame him. Because in his life, although he was admitted to the Jinshi, he had never studied junior high school or high school, and he didn't know that Gan Qi knew early on that he would make a steady profit.

Gan Qi, as a disciple of the Jet King, in this court, how could he embarrass the Jet King Bao Zheng, he had already gotten up, pointed at Zhang Fangping and said: "If you want to talk about collecting money, students are ashamed of themselves, Zhang Xianggong is really good at this, I heard that Zhang Xianggong's family is rich, and when he buys an industry, he will sell more than 100,000 yuan." To say that students have accumulated money, it is really a bit ashamed, seeing tens of thousands of victims outside the city, only 20,000 shots. The students built a free academy outside the city, which cost a lot of money, but they also owed a lot of money for materials. The way to accumulate money, compared with Zhang Xianggong, the student is really ashamed. ”

"You...... Shaft, how dare you slander and the envoy? Zhang Fangping was already angry.

As soon as Zhang Fangping's words came out, Han Qi's face in front of him turned dark, and he was already shaking his head, disappointed in his heart, Zhang Fangping, who was also the third envoy of the court, was actually refuted by a young student. Han Qi was very disappointed, and even wondered how Zhang Fangping got into this position.

Bao Zheng heard Gan Qi's sarcastic words, and rarely smiled heartily: "Haha...... If you want to say that Gandao is strong enough to accumulate wealth, you don't ask those disaster victims outside the city if they are convinced, and you don't ask those students who are admitted for free whether they are convinced, Mr. Hu is not here today, if Mr. Hu is here, he will definitely be with you endlessly today. Being in a high position, accumulating excessive wealth, filling his own pockets, perverting the law for bribes, not being a minister, not being a son of a man, Zhang Fangping, what else do you have to say? ”

"Bao Xiren, don't spew blood." Zhang Fangping, he should have had this catastrophe in history, and the first thing Bao Zheng did when he took office as the middle of the imperial history was to spray down the third envoy Zhang Fangping.

"Zhang Fangping, if you don't care about your face, it's no wonder that I, when all the files of the Yushitai arrive, do you want me to read them out one by one in front of everyone in the court?" Bao Zheng actually forced Zhang Fangping to resign himself, which was the last fig leaf given to scholars by the Song Dynasty. A lot of times it's conventional.

Zhao Zhen on the stage slowly frowned.

At this time, Zhang Fangping was really flustered, and hurriedly looked up at Han Qi, the Pingzhang of the Zhongshu Gate in front of him, expecting to get a response from Han Qi.

But Han Qi just lowered his head, as if he didn't see it.

For a while, there was a moment of silence at the court meeting.

Zhao Zhen shook his head, got up and waved his sleeves: "Retreat!" ”

Zhao Zhen's attitude is in this move.

Everyone bowed, seeing that Zhao Zhen had disappeared behind the main hall.

Han Qi turned around, shook his head, and walked out of the main hall, everyone had to wait for Han Qi to walk in front, and so on.

Han Qi walked past Zhang Fangping and heard Zhang Fangping say softly: "Han Xianggong ......"

There is a hint of pleading in this sentence.

Han Qi shook his head, sighed, and walked over directly.

Walking all the way outside, Tian Jing came to Han Qi's side and said softly: "Such a person, he should help him, but I don't know how he was promoted to the position of the third envoy." ”

Tian was also very disappointed.

Han Qi turned around and said, "That's it, it's okay to vacate a position." ”

Tian Guo asked, "Is there a candidate for Han Xiang?" ”

Han Qi thought for a while and asked, "How is Song Qi?" ”

Who is Song Qi? The younger brother of Song Zhen, the prince of Juguo, who quit because his son was going to mix the rivers and lakes, is Song Cunren's second uncle.

Tian Guo was overjoyed when he heard this: "Okay, this person is a good candidate." ”

Why is this person a good choice? Because Song Qi actually received some implications from Song Zhen's dismissal, the situation was quite difficult, but Song Qi was quite famous. The more difficult the person is, the easier it is to win over, and recommending Song Qi is to give Song Qi a favor and turn Song Qi into his own.

For Han Qi, killing two birds with one stone has just failed, and turning his head to the other side has to get benefits. Anyway, all the benefits are his Han minister's favor, and he suffers? That's not going to be a loss.

At most, Han Qi walked and walked, and suddenly said on a whim: "Hehe...... still underestimated this Gan Daojian, who is young, and is really an amazing character. ”

Gan Qi, who was walking out of Bao Zheng behind him, didn't hear it, and he couldn't be happy when he heard it.
