In the Dajing Dynasty, arithmetic was originally an elementary school. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Info advocates the use of Confucianism to govern the world, except for the school extended by the Four Books and the Five Classics, the rest are classified as miscellaneous studies, and the term "miscellaneous studies" itself carries a contemptuous vision.

Indeed, in an ancient period dominated by agriculture, arithmetic was indeed not as popular as Confucianism, but just like writing poetry, arithmetic also has its beauty and attractiveness. Human existence is not just about living.

On the hill behind Wende Academy, Wang Zi'an didn't sleep all night. Early in the morning, before he could close his eyes, he stood up, wet the towel with the water in the wooden basin, wiped his face, and took another sip of strong tea, which lifted his spirit a little.

He stared at the eighty-one squares on the table with bloodshot eyes, and the horizontal row had been completed, but the vertical row could not be successfully replaced. It had already taken him five or six hours. At sunset today, if no one makes it, the reward will be invalidated, and the prince will announce the answer.

A sip of herbal tea enters the throat, and the autumn cold tea is cool into the abdomen.

He looked a little further away and muttered to himself, "The surname Bai is estimated to have also hit a bottleneck." ”

Otherwise, at this time in the past, the smoke must have risen in front of the green bamboo house, and Bai Haoran would inevitably make a pot of tea every morning, but today there was none.

Zhang Cang of Ningyang Guan, full of manuscript paper, I don't know how many paintings of these eighty-one palace grids.

This is the best chance for him to save up for a successful graduation before next spring. At that time, if you enter Wang Yan's sect, you will be the protégé of the emperor, and then go to Beijing to participate in the examination, which is equivalent to a fish leaping into the dragon gate, so how can you miss such a good opportunity.

"No, it's still not right. It's not going to work out that way! ”

Day and night, thousands of attempts, the first few white declarations, have been soaked in ink black, but each heartbeat, when it is almost finished, is defeated by the final disappointment.

Zhang Cang tried different methods, such as filling in the diagonal first, or horizontal first and then diagonally, and then considering the vertical row at the end.

Failure without exception gave him an unprecedented sense of frustration.

Two hundred and fifty splits, how many months does it take to save without eating? If you can win these 250 cards at once, go home for the Chinese New Year this year, how beautiful will it be to be a protégé of the emperor? !

Guan Tianming and Qi Feibai didn't have a magic barrier to sleepless all night.

"Have you seen the bounty?"

Qi Feibai had just come back from morning exercise, he was sweating, and said, "I've done it a few times, I'm too lazy to forget it." Wang Chuan, that madman, you don't know, it must have been Lin Lan who made him lose face a few days ago, and he came to find a scene. Two hundred and fifty splits, with the categorical certainty that no one can make it. In that case, why be stupid and naïve? ”

"Haha, that makes sense. This is too lazy to learn, how many tricks will we make? ”

"Hehe, you want to sneak attack while I'm weak?"

Guan Tianming sneered and said, "I, the Guan clan of Luzhou, will be talented, how can I lose you?" ”

"Then give it a try!"

"Are you going to Master Chen's class today?"

Qi Feibai smiled and said, "My second uncle said that Chen Zhice's three-plate axe, one sudden, two guards and three helps, don't learn." ”

Guan Tianming Dan's phoenix eyes were raised, "It makes sense, I think so." ”

……

……

After several days of adaptation, Lin Lan was finally able to sleep more peacefully.

The old master walked through the corridor vigorously, and Lin Lan felt that her hair was about to float.

After comprehending Wang Chuan's stinky temper, Qin Qing's elegantness and ease, and Zhang Bentian's decentness, I don't know what kind of character this master who focuses on law and military strategy is.

"Old man Chen Zhice, there may be new classmates who don't know, let's introduce it again."

Chen Zhice said above, it was strange that Hou Haomiao was able to speak out on Lin Lan's side at the same time, "He has served as the secretary of the military department and the general of the expedition to the west. He once commanded 100,000 Northwest Army, and defeated the Northern Barbarian ......"

Hou Haomiao finished reading and said, "It's not bad, right?" ”

Lin Lan nodded, it seems that this Chen Zhice Chen often boasts about his great achievements, resulting in even Hou Haomiao, who is not serious about listening to classes on weekdays, can recite it backwards.

Chen Zhice's eyes swept and said, "Why are there so many people who are listening to the class today?" ”

Zhao Guang, who is extremely clean, always sits on the east side, and every time he comes to listen to the class, he has to wipe it with a handkerchief before he dares to sit down.

"As soon as the reward order came out yesterday, Bai Haoran, Zhang Cang, and Wang Zi'an were all concentrating on studying, and they had no time to listen to Mr. Lecture...... I'm on leave. ”

Chen Zhice saw that there were a bunch of more splits on the main seat, and snorted coldly: "It's really getting more and more unusual!" Where is the mere arithmetic more important than the law of military strategy, it is really confusing! ”

Hou Haomiao covered his mouth and chuckled: "Nineteen, this person is extremely conceited, don't listen to his nonsense, just listen to the play." ”

Lin Lan replied, "You said it lightly. ”

"Really. This Chen Zhice studied a lot of arithmetic, Confucianism and poetry, and almost fought with Wang Zhuanzi. Master Qin also called him an old horseman, who didn't know how to cultivate. ”

"The last two, side by side, you stand up."

"Oops!" Hou Haomiao's face changed, and he must have said too loudly, attracting Chen Zhice's attention.

Lin Lan and Hou Haomiao stood up. Some people who gloated turned around and chuckled, watching Chen Zhice slowly walk down.

"Do you two have a problem with what I just said?"

Hou Haomiao bowed and said with a smile: "Mr. is reasonable, and the student has no opinion." "A person like Hou Haomiao, who talks about people when he sees people, talks nonsense when he sees him, and runs the train with his mouth full, it is naturally impossible to say what he just said in front of Chen Zhice.

"What about you? I heard that you are new and proficient in arithmetic. ”

Lin Lan saluted and said, "Mr. has won the award." ”

Chen Zhice narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Did you hear what I said before?" So I'm not complimenting you. In my opinion, your so-called mastery of arithmetic is of no use! ”

In the face of Chen Zhice's unbridled rhetoric, belittling miscellaneous studies and even Confucianism, all students have long been accustomed to it, and they are not too lazy to fight with him.

Not to mention that he is a gentleman, this Dajing Dynasty was also defeated by iron horses, not from the mouth of a Confucian student. The talents of generals who know military strategy, unless they meet a mediocre monarch, otherwise they can expand their territory, make meritorious contributions, and be able to establish a career are all the talents of these generals.

Lin Lan said calmly: "It doesn't matter if Mr. belittles me, but please don't insult arithmetic." Therefore, the students did not agree with Mr. 's words. ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall was in an uproar.

Although Chen Zhice resigned from the old man, Rong Ma lived his life, and finally the official worshiped the secretary of the military department, which can be regarded as a very good minister. Even if Wang Chuan scolded him, he didn't dare to say anything disrespectful, let alone the rest of the students in the academy.

"Good! What a disagreement! Tell me today, what is the use of this arithmetic? ”
