Chapter 6 [The Way of Arithmetic]
Where Han Jiang was standing and chattering, Jiang Qian'er walked into the store at this time, and saw where he was closing his eyes and chanting words in his mouth, so he walked over quietly with light steps.
"What are you doing?"
Han Jiang was startled and said, "Oh, you're here, scare me." ”
"Who knows what you're doing, I want to think it's a ghost, your clothes are so strange, are they filial piety clothes?" Jiang Qian'er forbade her nose and said.
"It's called a chef's uniform, and you can tell his level by looking at the height of the hat." Han Jiang gave her a look, let her look at the four diners, and then whispered in her ear: "Those four should be the emperor's sons, and they call each other the emperor's brother." ”
Jiang Qian'er patted him and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be so timid, what are you afraid of them." ”
"I heard in my hometown that the princes are arrogant and domineering, and if they make him unhappy, they will be beheaded. I only have one head, and when I cut it off, it's gone. ”
Jiang Qian'er held her stomach and smiled very happily: "Haha... The people of your hometown are so humorous, you are a Tartar of the North or a barbarian of the South. ”
"I'm a decent and civilized person." Han Jiang's demeanor seemed particularly serious.
Li Huan, the twenty-second prince, was the youngest among the four, and he was the first to finish eating, he was just over ten years old, he was quite tall, and he came to the counter with a bowl and said: "Shopkeeper, I haven't eaten enough, let's have another bowl." He reached over the clean bowl.
"Yes, but don't waste it, that's what we do." After speaking, Hanjiang got busy.
Li Huan fumbled around his body for a while, took out a hairpin and put it in front of Jiang Qian'er and said, "Sister, I lost the bet last time, and I gave it to you, but I didn't expect the fifteenth brother's sword to be so unstrong." ”
"You're not bad, steal your mother's favorite hairpin, don't hand me over when your mother educates you, understand." Jiang Qian'er couldn't put down the hairpin, and her eyes were reluctant to leave for a moment.
Han Jiang opened his mouth in surprise, looked at her dumbfounded, and said, "You are a princess, why do you never say it." ”
Jiang Qian'er put away her smile and said, "If you don't salute when you see the princess, aren't you afraid that I will pull you out of the noon gate and behead you." ”
Han Jiang's heart was horizontal, and he didn't care what princess he was: "I kneel to heaven and earth, kneel down to my parents, let me salute you, hehe... No way. ”
"Okay, you, you know how to bully me, you're afraid that they won't be afraid of me, hmph, ignore you." Jiang Qian'er turned around in a slightly angry manner.
At this time, they were almost eating on the table, and they all said that this ramen was a delicacy in the world, and the imperial chef in the palace could not make such a taste, and the first thing they thought was to recommend it to their friends.
Li Huan hugged and ate non-stop, and the three princes seemed to be studying something.
Li Yao said to Li Ju: "My father asked me to learn arithmetic from Hubu Shangshu and count whether the amount of taxes paid by my Tang people has increased in recent years. ”
Li Ju said: "Fifth brother, I have studied this method of arithmetic, but I also know a thing or two, my father gave you such a big topic, which means that you are very important in my father's heart." ”
Li Yao was a little modest, but his face still showed joy and said: "Brother Huang, even if my father gives me a question, it doesn't mean anything, it's just that this topic is beyond the scope of my learning, and time is pressing step by step, tomorrow my father will summon me, please discuss it with me." ”
Li Min has been fond of martial arts since he was a child, and he is not interested in these at all.
Han Jiang was interested when he heard this, and thought to himself: "Every year, the local government reports the total amount of taxes collected, isn't it very simple. ”
"Ahem..."The two princes looked back at him. Shopkeeper, are you also interested in these? ”
"I can't talk about interest, it's just that I know how to figure out your answer."
Li Ju clasped his fists and saluted: "I didn't expect Mr. noodles to be delicious, and there is still research on the way of arithmetic."
"It's not about research, if you want to learn, you can be taught."
Ancient scholarship was in the hands of Confucianism, and scholarship could not be passed on lightly, and it was the first one as casual as Hanjiang.
"Oh, then please ask for advice." A few people made way for him to sit down.
A few eunuchs in plain clothes came in outside, bending over to support the four treasures of the study, their steps were very steady, and it could be seen that all of them were masters.
When Han Jiang picked up the pen, he remembered that he didn't know how to write the Tang Dynasty, and he didn't know it, so he pretended to be calm and said: "You have reported the taxes paid by various places in the past few years, and there must be no omissions." ”
"Every Ding year, I rent two stones. The tune is produced with the local area, and the silk silk is two zhang each, and the cloth is one-fifth. Those who lose silk silk silk will also adjust three taels of cotton; The loser of the cloth is three catties of hemp. Van Ding, twenty years of service. If you don't serve, you will be collected for three feet a day. Those who have an additional service will be exempted from the transfer for five days in ten days, and the rent and transfer will be exempted for three days. ”
What Li Yao said was the regulations on paying taxes, and he was afraid that Hanjiang would not know about them. Then he said: "Xingzhou grain 30,000 stones, Liangzhou grain ......"
Li Min and Li Huan were also interested in this, and they watched it on the side. Jiang Qian'er was bored walking.
Several people had a great discussion, and lunch had been missed, and no one from the store came until dark. Hanjiang stood up and stretched his muscles, the data in various places had been counted and classified, and the paper was densely written by him. Li Min pointed to the Arabic numerals and said, "What is this, how have I never seen it." ”
Han Jiang said: "This is an Arabic numeral, the writing is simple and clear. ”
"And what do these grids mean?"
"That's the answer you want." Han Jiang pointed and said: "The left is last year's average, and the right is this year's average, whether it is clear at a glance." ”
Li Ju frowned and said, "But we don't know Arabic numerals, I'm afraid my father won't be satisfied." ”
Han Jiang smiled and said, "What's so difficult about this, I can teach you this number." ”
Li Min nodded and said, "That's very good." ”
Hanjiang wrote 1, 2, 3...9, 0 on it, taught them to recognize them one by one, and soon started to write by hand. , and then taught them what a million is a million.
Li Huan sat there and clapped his hands and said: "This Arabu number is really amazing, I didn't expect it to be so simple, and I have learned seven or eight points this time." ”
Li Yao was excited, so that the text became simpler, and the table could better reflect the comparison between the two years before and after, and he knew that he had met an academic master this time.
Han Jiang was pulled by them to ask more questions, and he said: "You don't have to be like this, I'm just a guy, and there are very few people who know how to do it." ”
Although Han Jiang said so, everyone knew that his arithmetic was set on the book of the household. Several princes asked reluctantly, and he pointed to the dark sky outside.
Several princes had to leave with regrets, and when they left, they told them that they would come to ask for advice tomorrow, and said that they would spread the delicious food of Hanjiang in the palace.
Jiang Qian'er was angry, she even looked at Han Jiang's eyes strangely, and kicked him before leaving, and told him: "If I do this again in the future, you are not allowed to talk to others, and they will not be able to, let you ignore me." ”
With a "hum", he turned around and disappeared into the night.
