Zhao Deyuan chose "number" as the topic of the competition, most of the reason is that he is relatively good at numbers.

However, the larger reason lies in..... Nine numbers are the ninety-nine multiplication table, which is often associated with yin and yang feng shui in modern times, so it is classified as a number of arts. Its main function is to solve practical problems such as daily land measurement and tax settlement, and the others are to calculate celestial bodies, deduce the calendar, and so on.

However, these subjects are not the examination questions of the imperial examination, and they are not taken seriously.

Shen Kang has achieved enviable results in the imperial examination, and the winning rate of poetry and poetry is not large, but it is such an unpopularity, it is more likely to win, right?

Shen Kang also had no bottom in his heart, and he didn't know what the scholar in front of him would do, so he secretly said that it was really tricky, nodded with a smile, and said, "Okay, Brother Zhao will come up with the question first." ”

Hu Yuming smiled and said, "I knew that you would come up with a question of nine numbers." He patted Shen Kang on the shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, these people are all united front, and the two of us are relaxed." ”

Zhao Deyuan chuckled, faced everyone, and said: "The ancient temple is in the mountains and forests, and I don't know how many monks there are in the temple. ”

Hit, limerick?

Shen Kang was stunned, what about the picture?

High.

Zhao Deyuan paused, and then said: "Three hundred and sixty-four bowls, all the monks just ran out. Three people eat a bowl of rice, and four people eat a bowl of soup together. How many monks are there in the temple? ”

The meaning of the poem is that three monks eat with one bowl, and four monks eat soup with one bowl, just three hundred and sixty-four bowls, how many monks are there in the temple?

Hu Yuming frowned, worried.

If you talk about the foundation of nine numbers, he can recite it backwards, but the problem is so complicated, how useful is the basic nine number table?

He smacked his tongue and said, "Deyuan, where did you get the title?" ”

Zhao Deyuan smiled and said, "I happened to see something in the mountain temple, and I thought of it. ”

Hu Yuming pouted and said, "It's really tricky." ”

Zhao Deyuan smiled: "How is it?" Brother Hu? Brother Shen Xian? But you're going to throw in the towel? ”

Hu Yuming snorted lightly, and said with a displeased face: "The heart is very narrow!" What does it matter if you win or lose! ”

That's where it gets interesting.

Hu Yuming forgot that he was angry yesterday with a red face and a thick neck, and he fell down when he went out, and it was smooth to talk about others.

Zhao Deyuan's face was full of pride, this question stumped Shen Kang, as if it was a great honor.

Jiang Liu frowned and said, "This question is simple......

Zhao Deyuan looked at Jiang Liusu in surprise and asked, "Will you count?" ”

Jiang Liusu smiled and said, "Although it takes some brains, it is not impossible to solve it." ”

Zhao Deyuan pursed his lips and said, "You have your back to us and write the answer on the ground, we are people in the same battle." ”

Jiang Liu smiled and agreed, "Okay." After saying that, he consciously turned behind everyone, picked up a wooden stick, and deduced it on the ground.

Zhao Deyuan didn't believe that Jiang Liuchou could easily solve the self-created problem, when Jiang Liuchou was arrogant, he didn't look at him much, but turned his head to look at Hu Yuming and Shen Kang, and asked with a smile: "How is it, two, do you have an answer?" ”

Where did Hu Yuming have the answer, and was about to open his mouth to tease, but he heard Shen Kang beside him say softly: "There is." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Deyuan instantly raised his voice suspiciously and asked, "Geometry?" ”

Jiang Liushu turned his back to everyone and said, "Shen Kang shut up, I'm going to put on a show!" ”

Shen Kang smiled, and also learned from Jiang Liu's appearance, picked up a branch, and wrote down the answer number on the ground.

Lu Bai Er's pick-up.

Zhao Deyuan was like being struck by lightning, and said, "This, how is this possible." ”

However, at this time, Jiang Liuxuan shouted: "Six hundred and twenty-four, right? ”

Doubt life.

Zhao Deyuan doubted life.

How did these two teenagers figure it out? He hurriedly went to Jiang Liusu's side and looked at the deduction diagram on the ground.

The diagram on the ground is very complicated, but without a trace of hesitation, step by step, and the final result is indeed the correct answer.

Zhao Deyuan was speechless, suddenly turned his head to look at Shen Kang, and asked: "Brother Jiang Xian's calculation is indeed correct, Brother Shen Xian's calculation is faster and accurate, but I don't understand, how did Brother Shen Xian come up with the answer, you, you haven't even deduced?" ”

Shen Kang raised his eyebrows and said with a toothy smile: "Mental arithmetic." ”

Actually, the answer couldn't be simpler.

As a deaf-mute child, Shen Kang had to learn mental arithmetic and abacus in a special school, which was the most basic and entry-level.

As long as the number of monks is set to X, the answer to this question can be easily obtained, and the difficulty level is the same as that of the fifth grade of primary school.

Zhao Deyuan hung his head, shook his head, and said, "Okay." He arched his hand and said, "Foolish brother, I am convinced." ”

Shen Kang returned the salute and said, "Brother Zhao, I have conceded." ”

Zhao Deyuan didn't want to talk to Shen Kang for the time being, so he smiled wryly and waved his hand.

At this time, Hu Yuming really admired Shen Kang's intelligence, but he couldn't help but bully Zhao Deyuan. He raised his voice and said, "Deyuan! Slow down! ”

Zhao Deyuan turned his head to look at him and asked listlessly, "What does Brother Hu have to say?" ”

Hu Yuming smiled like a landlord, grinned and said, "You have all the questions, don't you let Brother Shen Xian also have a question?" ”

Zhao Deyuan's face was flushed, and he seemed a little embarrassed, nodded with a wry smile, and replied, "Okay." He arched his hand sideways, and said with a reluctant face: "Brother Shen Xian, please ask the question." ”

If Shen Kang didn't ask the question at this time, he would look down on Zhao Deyuan, and he smiled and said, "Brother Zhao, please listen to the question." ”

He stood up, pondered the math problems he had seen in his previous life, and secretly turned them into the breath of the ancients, about three breaths of effort, and said: "Three hundred and seventy-eight miles, it is not difficult to walk for the first time. Foot pain is halved every day, and it takes six days to reach its level. If you want to ask about the number of miles per day, please calculate carefully. ”

As soon as Zhao Deyuan heard the title, he knew that it was not simple, his brain was blindfolded with a "buzz", and when he thought about it again, he even forgot the title, and the longer he was silent, the more people around him looked at him with deep meaning.

As a result, he became even more nervous.

Zhao Deyuan had beads of sweat on his head, his back was slightly wet, and he said with a red face: "Foolish brother, foolish brother doesn't know." ”

Shen Kang was a little embarrassed, he came up the mountain to play, how could it become an intelligence test.

He smiled and said, "Brother Zhao, this question, the younger brother doesn't know how to answer it, haha." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Deyuan's heart was relieved somehow, and Shen Kang would not either, so he would not be so embarrassed.

Shen Kang then smiled and said: "The junior brother saw that Brother Zhao was a person who liked nine numbers, so he said this topic from the ancient books, I hope Brother Zhao will not be angry." ”

Shen Kang is just a child, how can people rise up when he says such sincere words with a smile?

Shen Kang's words were considered to have relieved Zhao Deyuan, Zhao Deyuan's sweat dissipated in an instant, and he hurriedly smiled and waved his hand: "Foolish brother is stupid, how can you be angry and involve the virtuous brother, haha." ”

He paused slightly, and then said: "Brother Fool is interested in this topic, and wants to deduce it carefully, I wonder if Brother Xian is willing to transcribe this topic to me, so that I can go back to study it?" ”

Shen Kang was very happy, and said with a smile: "Very good, when Brother Zhao pushes the performance and receives the results, you can remember to inform the younger brother." ”

"That's nature, hahaha!"
