After Mr. Liu said the topic, he looked at Qin Ming triumphantly.

Especially when he saw Qin Ming's stunned appearance, Mr. Liu was even more proud.

Qin Ming was indeed surprised, but what surprised him was that the mathematics of this world was still stuck in the arithmetic of chickens and rabbits in the same cage.

But after thinking about it, throughout history, in ancient China, this kind of arithmetic was indeed very difficult, it was all arithmetic, and the algorithm was very complicated.

So Qin Ming's expression, in everyone's opinion, thought he was scared.

Below, when everyone heard that it was an arithmetic problem, their faces changed.

Arithmetic problems, ordinary literati can't do it, basically can read and write, it's very powerful.

As for arithmetic, it's something that is studied by really talented people.

Forget about arithmetic problems, and it's this kind of complicated arithmetic with a few feet and a few heads, and everyone feels a headache when they hear it.

Mr. Liu smiled: "Mr. Qin, do you know, how many chickens and rabbits are there?" If you don't know, it's okay, just admit defeat. ”

Qin Ming smiled: "What if I will?" ”

Mr. Liu sneered in his heart, thinking to himself, how could you? This kind of arithmetic problem. There must be a variety of calculations, otherwise who can know the answer?

And the calculation, how many people present will calculate?

In fact, in ancient times, there were no Arabic numerals, and arithmetic was really troublesome, which is why it was very difficult for everyone to learn mathematics.

But Qin Ming will, so he started to count.

"There were thirty-five heads, and ninety-four feet underneath. With the leg lifting method, the chicken lifts one foot and the rabbit lifts both legs. That's ninety-four divided by two, which is forty-seven. Forty-seven feet minus thirty-five heads equals twelve. Thirty-five minus twelve equals twenty-three. Okay,"

Qin Ming put down the pen and said, "Twenty-three chickens and twelve rabbits." ”

Mr. Liu was still waiting for Qin Ming to make a fool of himself, but at this moment, within ten breaths, Qin Ming actually said the answer, which directly made Mr. Liu stunned.

"You...... How quickly did you know the answer? Mr. Liu said in shock.

"Is it hard? There are several algorithms for this problem, and it is easier to use junior high school knowledge and hypothetical methods to calculate. Qin Ming said.

Mr. Liu took a few breaths of heaviness and said, "How did you figure it out?" ”

"Want to learn? Kneel down and bow to the teacher, I'll teach you? Qin Ming said.

Mr. Liu frowned: "You can't calculate it, absolutely impossible, you must have heard such a question somewhere before." ”

Qin Ming pursed his lips and said, "Whatever you say, I won anyway." ”

"What did you win, you haven't done the question yet, I haven't done the question yet." Mr. Liu said angrily.

Qin Ming smiled and said, "Okay, then ...... Please listen to the question. When you were six years old, your wife was half your age, how old was your wife when you were fifty? ”

Mr. Liu laughed and said, "This kind of simple question, you are difficult for me?" When I was six years old, my wife was half your age, and now I am fifty, and she is naturally only twenty-five. ”

After finishing speaking, he looked at Qin Ming proudly, feeling that he had won.

But when he saw Qin Ming, he said with a shocked face: "What? Your wife is only twenty-five? Old cows eat tender white, you? Besides, if your wife is only twenty-five now, shouldn't she have not been born when you are six years old? ”

Mr. Liu was stunned for a moment, rubbed his forehead, and thought to himself, but what was the problem?

Everyone in the audience was also forced, and they didn't reflect on the problem.

Only Qin Ming laughed and said, "You don't even know how old your wife is, and you are embarrassed to say that you are an arithmeticist?" You've got it, you're all. ”

Mr. Liu's face was red and he said, "That'...... How old should my wife be? ”

Qin Ming shook his head and said, "When you were six years old, your wife was half of yours, and at that time, your wife was three years old, that is, you were three years older than her.

Now that you're fifty, minus three years old, your wife is naturally forty-seven, stupid, right? Let's go back and study hard. ”

Mr. Liu was stunned, and at the same time, he suddenly realized.

Then he patted his head fiercely, gritted his teeth, and said:

"Oh, I ...... Why am I so stupid......"

Qin Ming got up and said, "How is it?" Now, are you convinced? ”

Mr. Liu lowered his head and said, "I lost!" ”

At this point, the four great Confucian scholars were all defeated by Qin Ming.

Whether it was Mr. Zhou's questioning of Qin Ming in ancient Chinese at the beginning, or the later poetry between Mr. Li and Qin Ming, or Mr. Zhao's debate, and Mr. Liu's arithmetic, they were all defeated.

The four of them all looked dejected, obviously, Qin Ming had one enemy against four, which made them suffer a blow.

At the same time, it also dealt a blow to their arrogance.

At this point, the four of them completely surrendered, and they no longer dared to believe Qin Ming's knowledge, but they all questioned their own knowledge.

They couldn't help but ask themselves in their hearts, are they really worthy of the title of Confucian?

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu looked at the wine of the Guozi Supervisor, and then looked at many bigwigs in the literary world of the imperial capital.

Everyone nodded in admiration.

Immediately, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu spoke: "Today, Qin Ming, one person fights four Confucians, and he wins!" ”

When he boarded, the cheers immediately sounded, and all the people in the audience were cheering, and the momentum was huge.

Among them, many readers are also boiling.

They yearn for knowledge, and the talent that Qin Ming shows at this moment definitely does not belong to any of the great Confucians.

Therefore, it is not surprising that he is sought after by readers.

Qin Ming just got up slowly, looked at the four people opposite, and then looked at the people under the stand, and said lightly:

"Threesome, there must be my teacher! To be a person and to do learning, you should not be arrogant. Because no matter how high your knowledge is, you can still learn from the people around you. ”

After finishing speaking, Qin Ming waved his sleeves and walked away.

Everyone looked at Qin Ming's back, and was silent for a long time in Qin Ming's last sentence.

After a long time, a knowledgeable old man sighed:

"Marquis Qin is young, but his literary attainments and insights on knowledge and life have reached an unimaginable level, and he is the real Confucian."

As he spoke, he respectfully bowed to the back of Qin Ming, who had already gone away, to show his respect.

"Yes, Marquis Qin is so old, but he has amazing talents, good character, both virtues, and most importantly, doing things for the people, which is really admirable."

Someone else bowed down and saluted Qin Ming.

"Threesomes must have my teacher...... Marquis Qin, great talent......"

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu also respectfully saluted Qin Ming's back.

Then, many literati bowed to Qin Ming with the greatest respect, and then many people also saluted in the same way to show their respect for Qin Ming.

However, they didn't know that Qin Ming, who they respected extremely in their hearts at the moment, was actually sighing to himself:

"Hey, hey, hey, just now, it's so deep, it's really enjoyable......"
