Chapter Seventy-Two: Crazy Arithmetic Problems
The college entrance examination has abused me thousands of times, and I treat the college entrance examination like my first love!
In the later generations, I will be a big ~ heavenly ~ dynasty, and nearly 10 million college entrance examination students will go to the battlefield with this sentence every year!
As soon as the three questions of the young son of heaven came out, nearly 10,000 people were directly abused out of Xiang.
But after the morning exam, more than 10,000 generals, most of whom forced their smiling faces, walked out of the examination room "proudly".
Even Hu Che'er, who didn't know a single big word, was bragging about how he was brave and invincible in the examination room to "draw grasshoppers".
took the bamboo slip handed by Liu Bei, which recorded the place of origin and name: Hu Che'er, Weiwu County, Liangzhou, and unfolded it, a worm came into Liu Xie's eyes, which made him feel like he had eaten Xiang.
Still on the sidelines, Liu Xie was speechless, this is really enough!
"Transfer this person to the Xuanjia Battalion, and be your deputy!"
"No!"
Dian Wei immediately ordered his soldiers to go down and pull Hu Che'er into the Xuanjia camp.
Hu Che'er is very powerful, and his temper is also an appetite for Dian Wei, so Liu Xie wants to transfer him to the Xuanjia camp.
But then again, these two people are a little unreliable in leading troops, and they will have to find a deputy for Dian Wei in the future, preferably Yunwen Yunwu.
And this time, I can take the opportunity of the literary exam to choose a good partner for the two of them!
Looking back again, the reason why Liu Xie let 10,000 generals take the exam together in one breath this time is also to save time, of course, there is another point, the questions of the literary exam are not good・・・・・・
Among the nearly 1,000 military marquis and military commanders, one hundred and fifty new military commanders will be elected; And more than 70 new lieutenants will be selected from these 10,000 generals.
It can be seen how tragic the competition of the captain will be!
This is also the reason why Liu Xie's first literary examination, it is necessary to take the literary examination first, and brush off most of the generals who are illiterate or do not conform to Liu Xie's political views.
And the remaining handful of people, who may only be a few hundred or a thousand, are eligible to enter the martial arts test stage. Participate in the next round of the Captain Tryout.
Therefore, the workload of this examination will be extremely huge.
Nearly 10,000 generals, each writing ten bamboo slips, there will be 100,000 bamboo slips. If Liu Xie was left to watch alone, he would probably go crazy.
Therefore, for this selection, Liu Xie specially transferred hundreds of students from Chang'an City who were full of military books, as well as dozens of doctors, who would follow the instructions of the Son of Heaven. Brush it for Liu Xie first, and select the generals who meet the requirements of the Son of Heaven.
In order to arrange this group of doctors and students, Liu Xie deliberately opened a small military camp near Shanglin Yuan, which was guarded by Wei Yan, and they ate, drank and lazard all in it until they selected a suitable candidate to participate in the captaincy competition.
After that, they will join the army to teach generals to read and learn characters.
And this learning material, Liu Xie is now helping them prepare!
"Ha~~~ Huh"
Stretching his waist, after a simple lunch, Liu Xie lay on the table and rested for a while.
Wake up. The time for the written test in the afternoon will also come, and Liu Xie, under the escort of Dian Wei and Xu Chu, came to the high platform again.
When Tianzi appeared on the armrest of the high platform with a smile, the hearts of the nearly 10,000 generals referred to below trembled a little.
They are praying, begging to be spared!
But it is destined to be impossible!
Nodding at Xun Yue below, after the old man got the order, he immediately announced the start of the second literary exam.
This time, the test was an arithmetic question, and there were also three questions. And the last question can make everyone rush!
As for why, arithmetic is the test?
It's because a general must be proficient in arithmetic!
Proficient in arithmetic. Then, before the war, they can arrange the grain, grass and weapons, and at the same time turn the strength of themselves and the enemy into numbers, so that it is easier to know each other and know themselves, so that they can be invincible;
Mastered in arithmetic, then in wartime. Only then will they be able to calculate the time and place of the attack according to the distance between the enemy and the enemy.
Therefore, almost every famous general is a master of arithmetic, such as the soldier immortal Han Xin.
Han Xin ordered soldiers, the more the merrier, not only that he was extremely capable of soldiers, but also his arithmetic ability, which was also unparalleled in the world.
At the beginning, he led 1,500 soldiers to fight, and four or five hundred people were killed in the battle, standing in a row of 3 people, and there were 2 more people; Standing in a row of 5 people, there are 4 more people; Standing in a row of 7 people, there are 6 more people.
After Han Xin saw it, he didn't say a word, and immediately said the number of people: 1049.
This is the style of a famous general!
And if you can't do arithmetic, it is estimated that it will be difficult to achieve a generation of famous generals!
And Liu Xie's third question is still somewhat related to Han Xin's soldiers.
After Xun Yue lifted the red cloth below, dozens of Lang Jun held the signs in their hands high and walked around, so that nearly 10,000 generals could see it clearly.
The first question: The chickens and rabbits are in the same cage and I don't know how to count, and the thirty-six cages are exposed. Count 50 pairs of feet, how many chickens and rabbits are there?
This question is honest, not difficult!
In the later generations of the big ~ day ~ dynasty, this is the seventh grade of primary school students, that is, the first year of junior high school to do the question.
The method is very simple, set the chicken to x, the rabbit to y, the binary one-dimensional equation, and the two equations can be found by concentrating.
Of course, in the Han Dynasty, there were no such concepts, but they could not stop the wisdom of the ancestors.
In the "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", which was widely circulated by the Han Dynasty, similar topics are also recorded.
And Liu Xie just changed the number of heads and feet, among the 10,000 generals, as long as they know a little arithmetic, then they can naturally solve the first problem.
Captain Li Maocai, this time he did not hide his name, but generously reported his origin and real name, picked up a bamboo slip, and wrote on the back: Li Hui, Jianning County.
Li Maocai is Li Hui, he was originally from Yuyuan County, Jianning County, and was the superintendent of Jianning County at the beginning.
A year ago, there was a flood in Jianling County, and the people were hungry and cold, and his uncle had mercy on the people, so he opened a warehouse to release grain, which was a benevolent and righteous act, but it was a violation of the law, so he was imprisoned, and Li Hui was also implicated and dismissed.
When Li Hui was dismissed, he couldn't hold back his breath in his heart, and he left his hometown at a young age, vowing to make a great cause.
After coming to Luoyang, I didn't expect to be caught in the Xiliang Army, if it weren't for the help of my companions this year, in that dozen anti-Dong battles, Li Hui estimated that he would die in a foreign country.
Since the Son of Heaven killed Dong Thief, he has seen hope, the hope of the revival of the Han Dynasty, and the hope of returning to his hometown after becoming famous, so he resolutely participated in the big martial arts exercise held by the Son of Heaven.
This morning. The first and second questions, he answered without pressure, and as for the last Nine Palace Bagua Array, he also knew a little about it. In the end, he also played seven-seven-eighty-eight, which was considered a success.
Therefore, the current Li Hui is very sure in his heart that this time he will have his share in the choice of captain.
Keep your head up. Looking at the question of chickens and rabbits in the same cage in front of him, Li Hui smiled slightly, this question is not difficult, he can list two methods casually now.
Foot chopping method: all rabbits "hidden" two feet, then there should be: 72 feet; Now there are 100 legs, so 28 are hidden, then the number of rabbits is: 28/2=14, then 22 chickens are obtained;
Foot Enhancement Method: If all the chickens have two more prosthetic feet, then there are 144 of them, and now they have 100 feet. There are 44 prosthetic feet, so the number of chickens is: 44/2=22, then the number of rabbits obtained is: 14.
After writing the algorithm and the correct answer on the bamboo slip, Li Hui was not complacent.
Because according to the habit of the Son of Heaven in the morning, the first question is for you to answer; Second, the difficulty will be doubled; And the third course, without a certain talent and talent, can't answer the edge at all.
After doing it, Li Hui looked around. I found that there were many people scratching their ears again, and I sighed slightly in my heart, many of them didn't know how to read big words, and they didn't know how to do arithmetic. How much do you know?
A few moments later, Xun Yue took the second question out of the table again.
Question 2: Today there is one chicken, which is worth five; The hen is one, and it is worth three; Three chicks are worth one. Where 100 dollars buy 100 chickens. Q: What are the chicks of the chickens?
As soon as this question came out, many generals who were proficient in arithmetic were also in their hearts. Because of this difficulty, it has increased several times dramatically.
And this, in fact, is a ternary equation, let three unknowns: x, y, z, and join the two equations, and several answers can be obtained・・・・・・
Admittedly, in this time and space, it's not that simple!
When Li Hui saw the title on the sign, he was stunned at first, then stunned for the second time, and only came back to his senses after the third flute was finished, and copied the title on the bamboo slip.
Wiping the fine sweat on his forehead, Li Hui put away the contempt just now, this problem has not appeared in "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", and it needs a new solution to be solved.
An hour later, Li Hui exhausted his mind and was able to solve an answer: 4 roosters, 18 hens and 78 chicks!
Li Hui, who was almost exhausted, raised his head and saw that the colleagues in the examination room had opened their mouths wide, and they could stuff an egg in their mouths, and they were still dazed.
Following the gaze of his companions, Li Hui looked at the third question on the sign in front of him, and lay down directly after finishing.
Question 3: I don't know the number of things today, the remaining two of the three or three numbers, the remaining three of the five or five numbers, and the remaining two of the seven and seven numbers.
Li Hui copied the title on the bamboo slips, and like most of them, his eyes were blank and he didn't know where to start・・・・・・
Liu Xie looked at the stunned 10,000 people below, and felt a little funny in his heart, this question is closely related to the information of Bingxian Han.
Back then, Han Xin ordered troops, and the more the better, the ancestor Liu Bang wanted to embarrass the soldiers, and he ordered a small team of soldiers to stand across the wall.
First there were three people standing in a row, and the last row was only two people.
Then every five people stood in a row, with only three people in the last row.
In the end, every seven people stood in a row, and there were only two people in the last row.
Afterwards, the ancestor Liu Bang asked Han Xin with a sly smile: "Dare to ask the general, how many soldiers are in this team?" Han Xin blurted out: "Twenty-three." ”
This is the strength of the soldiers!
Liu Xie was still struggling at the beginning, whether to use this question to abuse these 10,000 people.
But after the exam in the morning, when I saw them bragging ~ bull ~ force in groups, my heart was settled.
No abuse!
I'm sorry for the traverser!
So decisively finalizing this question, Liu Xie even knew that none of the 10,000 people present could answer it, and even in the entire Han Dynasty, there were few people who could solve it!
But the title still has to be announced!
Not only for abuse, but also for a deeper reason, the importance of arithmetic, has penetrated into every class of the Han Dynasty from today.
Whether it is a general, a politician, or a student, Liu Xie hopes that through this literary examination, he can trigger a boom in Han arithmetic.
Because mathematics is an indispensable tool for learning and researching technology!
It is the right-hand man and tool of all sciences, and the link that unifies all science and technology, and all science and technology are inseparable from mathematics.
Its development can greatly promote the progress of science and technology!
It!
It can even be used as a stepping stone to the industrialized ・・・・・・ (to be continued.) )
