Chapter 231: The Explosive Arithmetic Application

Scanning a circle of sluggish crowds, Luo Yan smiled secretly, but his eyes looked at Zhang Tong. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

If others are just surprised, then Zhang Tong's mood at the moment is both frustration, shame, and perhaps a little remorse. I can't stand this on anyone. You said that since you were a child, you have devoted yourself to studying arithmetic, and you have received many teachings from masters in the middle, but in the end, you are not as good as a person who is born in a wild way and relies on self-study. What's more, people have just said the method of solving the problem on the front foot, and when they come to themselves, they don't know how to learn and use it.

With such a sense of frustration, Zhang Tong's expression was a little more discouraged at this moment. I don't know what I'm muttering. It has not yet reached the time when the afterglow of the sunset stretches people's shadows, and there is no cold wind blowing people's clothes up, but at this moment, you can see the sadness exuded by Zhang Tong's body.

It's not the twilight of a hero, it's just that the young man's consistent self-confidence has been completely defeated, and the unwillingness revealed at this moment.

Seeing that the time was not early, Luo Yan coughed lightly, woke everyone up from the sluggishness, and said, "Okay, everyone, there is a competition next." It's not too early, it's solved early, and you can still catch up for dinner. "It's only been two rounds, and the time has passed for more than an hour, and if one of them can't answer three questions, at this rate, if you don't hurry, you won't be able to finish it before the curfew.

People were awakened by Luo Yan's cry, and watched with amusement how the contest should proceed. So far, the surprise and shock have far exceeded their expectations when they came to watch. If there is such an interesting story in the future, they think that after today, they can blow half a year to the passing merchants and scholars in front of the city gate.

In the eyes of hundreds of people, Zhang Tong let out a sigh of relief, and suddenly stood up and said: "That's it, there is no need to continue today's competition." I, Zhang Tong, boast that I am also a leader among the younger generation, who would have thought that when I saw it today, I knew that I was arrogant before. Dr. Luo's ability is more than a few chips higher than me, and I am ashamed of myself. ”

After speaking, he bowed to Luo Yan.

The sudden plot reversal made people a little disappointed. Soon someone sneered.

"Thanks to what you said so well at that time, it turned out to be just a showcase, and it was useless."

There are too many people who have no real name for this idea. Come on, I'm blind, I can't watch this excitement today. ”

"I was still desperately applauding you at that time, I didn't expect you to be such a person."

All kinds of mean words pierced Zhang Tong's ears, but at first he couldn't think of a little rebuttal. At that time, Luo Yan was also treated like this, but he used his real skills to silently fight back these words. What about yourself? At that time, I was beaming with pride, but now, how to fight back? If you can't fight back, you have to endure it. Sure enough, the world is impermanent.

Sighing, Zhang Tong continued: "About the apprenticeship, Zhang Tong will write a letter to the elders in the family, and he will come with the apprenticeship ceremony in the near future." In order for me to successfully convince my elders, I hope that Dr. Luo can agree and let me bring the method of solving the problem home to be examined. ”

He is not the kind of person who can't afford to lose, and now that he already knows the gap between the two sides, he has already regarded Luo Yan as a teacher from his heart. Although he has not yet formally established a relationship, when he speaks, he has completely put himself in the identity of a disciple.

Seeing Zhang Tong so crisp, Luo Yan was really taken aback. However, he quickly came to his senses and responded: "Although I accept you as a disciple, it is indeed a bit of a big deal. But there are also things that can be taught to you, and you won't be at a loss. You can take back the solution and copy a copy for yourself. When your parents come, I'll talk about other things in detail. ”

Luo Yan knew that because of this hundred chicken problem, his position in arithmetic was basically finalized. The people of the hundred workers are different from Confucianism, and there is a difference between the old and the young. There are naturally many from generation to generation, but it is also popular for those who have attained it to be teachers. As long as he can make achievements in arithmetic in the future, and let Zhang Tong grow enough, then he will not attract criticism if he accepts Zhang Tong as a disciple.

Hearing Luo Yan say this, Zhang Tong nodded and bowed again.

After getting up, he said, "During this time, I didn't know that Zhang Tong would be able to seek advice by Dr. Luo's side. ”

Anyway, the letter went from here to Qinghe, and it would take a month or two to get here from Qinghe after the family discussed. Although Luo Yan gave himself the method of solving the problem, if he wants to study it thoroughly, he still needs Luo Yan's explanation. Moreover, with Luo Yan's words, didn't he secretly say that he would do more than these two times?

For a while, the desire for knowledge made Zhang Tong excited.

After thinking about what was going on, he was going to reach out to Ritsu. But now that Zhang Tong has come out like this, his reputation has been launched. Then we will soon be able to usher in a rush of applications. With the help of a person like Zhang Tong, who has a good level of arithmetic, he also saved himself a lot of effort.

Nodding, Luo Yan said, "It's okay." So, during this time, you will live in this state school. Later, I'll arrange another place for you. It also saves you from running back and forth. ”

With such a good thing, where would Zhang Tong refuse, nodding busily.

A competition ended in such a strange picture. The onlookers dispersed with regret that they could not continue to watch, leaving only the students of the state school to spontaneously carry back the table that had been carried out.

The competition has just ended, but the excitement has just begun.

Early the next morning, as usual, Luo Yan got up early and walked a few laps around the state school, and then began to eat breakfast. remembered that there was suddenly an extra Zhang Tong, so he sent Ah Quan to call him over and ate it together. didn't mention anything else, just chatted a few words, and Luo Yan asked Zhang Tong to go back and do his own thing. And he was holding an ancient book and reading it with relish.

With this wave, I don't know how long the leisure days will last. It's better to take advantage of the fact that the wind and rain have not come, and be at ease for a while.

The people in the state school didn't feel anything, but it was different outside. Yesterday, although there were only a dozen or so scholars who were onlookers, the local states and counties liked arithmetic, and they were all related to each other. Luo Yan's novel solution urged these people to share it with their friends. In this way, it was only one night, and the entire Golden State City had already spread all over it.

But that's not enough, the influence continues to ferment over time.

Coupled with the exaggerated statements of the unaware people, who boasted to passing merchants and tourists all day long, the news soon spread throughout Gyeonggi.

Some people in Golden State want to get close to the water, and on the third day, some people have already found the gate of the state school and want to try Luo Yan's examination school, in order to successfully become one of the five people recruited by Luo Yan.

There is always no shortage of smart people in time, especially those who have read books, and their brains will naturally turn faster. They knew that the longer the time dragged on, the more scholars would come from all over the country, and they didn't know how many people would rush to Luo Yan's enrollment quota at that time. Although the number of people is unknown, there is no doubt that the strength of the competitors will not be comparable to the level of a Golden State.

In remorse, these people gathered in front of the state school in order to get such an opportunity.

It's a pity that they were disappointed. On the morning of the third day, a piece of paper was posted on the notice board at the gate of the state school, which clearly stated: The enrollment of the school has been shelved due to various reasons before, and the enrollment will be restarted in ten days.

One sentence disappointed many people. Luo Yan's goods are obviously going to wait for the scholars from other states and counties to come, otherwise why don't you say more or less, but you have to say it for ten days. Ten days was enough time to spread the news throughout Gyeonggi, and at the same time, interested scholars were also allowed to come. In the midst of all kinds of regrets and regrets, these people can only turn around and leave. Standing under this sign at this moment, how dazzling and dazzling it is.

For such a long time, the news naturally spread to Chang'an.

Since Luo Yan refused to enter Beijing, Li Shimin has often focused on Luo Yan. He was full of curiosity to see what kind of fame Luo Yan could make in Golden State. But since the beginning of the new year, someone has been disappointed by the news every few days. There are no waves, it is still the same as last year, it should be lectured and lectured, it should be fun, and there is no new idea at all.

Some time ago, I heard about him recruiting bachelors, but later he was disliked, which made Li Shimin laugh for a while. But I also have some complaints in my heart, this thing has not been doing business, is it really good to play like this.

Who would have thought that when I just thought that this matter was going to settle down, suddenly there was a competition between Luo Yan and Zhang Tong in Jinzhou. This report is so detailed that the questions and answers from both sides are recorded, but Li Shimin prides himself on being romantic, and he doesn't know anything about arithmetic. There's no way, it's better to find a professional person to do professional things. If you want to read this report, you still need to find Wang Xiaotong, the most famous math master in the court.

This Wang Xiaotong is the one who compiled the "Sutra of Ancient Calculations". A person who can solve a cubic equation in the early Tang Dynasty is naturally worthy of the title of a master.

Hearing Li Shimin's summoning, Wang Xiaotong thought he was going to ask about the calendar. From ancient times to the present, there has not been an emperor who has not shown contempt for the calendar. This is a matter related to the time of day and hydrology, which directly affects the crops of agricultural mulberry crops. A good calendar is worth the emperor to ask for with high-ranking officials. Wang Xiaotong is one of them, a few years ago, he compiled a new calendar with his ancestors and filial piety, and won Li Yuan's appreciation, and the treatment has not been bad since then.

Holding a stomach full of puzzlement, Wang Xiaotong met Li Shimin. Originally, I thought it was just a routine to ask a sentence or two, and then ask about irrelevant good days and auspicious days. Who would have thought that Li Shimin would not say a word, and hand him a document first.

I don't know if I don't know this, I was startled when I saw it, and pointed to Luo Yan's solution, Wang Xiaotong asked with some surprise: "Your Majesty, is this really Dr. Luo's doing?" ”

Li Shimin said angrily: "Who else can there be besides him, who doesn't do his job all day long and does such things quietly." He issued a notice in Golden State to find five scholars who were interested in scientific research to study arithmetic. You say, isn't this just a slap in the face of Guozixue? What Li Shimin didn't say was that he knew that he was doing this kind of thing in Jinzhou, so he didn't let him go back in the first place.

Who knew that what was ushered in was not approval, but a request: "Your Majesty, Weichen wants to go to Jinzhou to see what is going on, and wants to take a leave of absence for half a month, and I hope Your Majesty will approve it." ”

For a while, Li Shimin was stunned. (To be continued.) )
