The crowd nodded.

Yang Fan said: "It turns out that I suffered a loss." So, dare to ask Brother Tai, how should I accuse that old woman? Asking for the three pennies back? ”

The more Fang Yiru spoke, the more proud he became, and said, "This is naturally easy to say." Confucianism and Taoism rule the world, benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith, this lack of catties and short two, looking for the text is not true, then there is no lack of faith, people do not stand without faith, if Brother Tai tells these words to the old woman, presumably the woman will only pay you back three pennies. ”

Yang Fan then said: "Brother Fang's high righteousness, it is really embarrassing, and I can't hide it. I told a lie below, and the old woman asked me for eighty-six dollars. ”

Sigh!

The scene set off a wave of disdain.

Fang Yiru's face was even more angry, and he reprimanded loudly: "Brother Yang Fan, people can't stand without faith, you are proficient in arithmetic, if you don't believe it, you will make mistakes, since this is the case, then it is yours." How can we scholars do such a sweeping thing? ”

"Haha, reader? You've read so many books, you've read to the rice bucket! Yang Fan sneered, "Sanwen money, it's just three money, Brother Fang just talked about so many righteous avenues, just for this three money." Do you think it's worth it? ”

"It's not a question of more money and less money. It's a matter of your character! Fang Yiru scolded angrily.

"What do you think?"

"Brother Yang is proficient in arithmetic, so he deceived the old woman, it is indeed yours."

"Brother Yang is not moral to do this. Nowadays, the people's livelihood is suffering, and Brother Yang is not sympathetic to the common people, which is really losing his identity as a scholar. ”

"Hahaha." Yang Fan stepped on the so-called desk. "It seems that I, Yang, have committed public anger today. Am I cheating on the old woman? Dare to ask how to deceive you? It's just that the old woman didn't learn the most basic arithmetic well, so she would find more money, turn her head upside down, but blame me Yang Fan's character? Is this your Confucian way of governing the world? ”

Yang Fan simply stood on the desk and said angrily: "The world is huge, how many people are proficient in arithmetic?" And these so-called readers, those who read the books of the sages, claim to be sages. If the old woman is proficient, not to mention proficient, if the old woman knows the addition and subtraction, why bother to lose these three pennies in vain? If you do everything, you will be able to do everything. Officials, taxes, money, and money; river governance, measurement and mapping; Commerce, money transactions, where in the world do not need to be calculated. Such a broad and proficient arithmetic, even a drop of water in the Hanhai can only be used in the lower part of the sea, but in the eyes of someone on your side, it is really ridiculous! ”

Fang Yiru was stunned by Yang Fan's words, and his face turned blue.

"What benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith, if I, Yang Fan, don't talk about this matter today, who knows that I have taken three more articles? Who is going to cry out for this old woman? Arithmetic is not the preserve of scholars, it should be learned by all people. This is the real avenue! ”

"Honest and untrue. How can you do the imperial examination without reading the books of the sages? ”

"Stop insulting the word sage!" Yang Fan smashed a ball of paper directly at Fang Yiru, "People can't stand without trust, but you want to treat an old woman who doesn't know how to learn as dishonest for the sake of three cents, how can this be reasonable?" As a scholar, Fang Yiru spends money when you drink flower wine, and you give out more than these three texts. I said earlier that the old woman is looking for less than three things, but you want to use the righteousness of the great avenue you learned to accuse an old woman who relies on selling halva and does not know arithmetic. Don't read such a sage book! ”

"You...... You ......" Fang Yiru was so angry that he couldn't say a word. He didn't expect that Yang Fan would not hesitate to slander himself, and he would let him jump in.

The sun was almost noon, shining on Fang Yiru's face, and he blushed, not knowing how to refute Yang Fan's reprimand. Yang Fan's words can be described as heart-wrenching, Fang Yiru really couldn't find anything to deal with, so he threw off his robe and left angrily.

Yang Fan looked at Fang Yiru who was leaving, and secretly sighed that the scholars of the Ming Dynasty talked a lot, but there were too few people who really had real talents and hard work, and even if they did, they were subject to the worldly trend and it was difficult to display their talents. This is very common in Greater China in the 21st century. Those who are in charge of education are not good at education, and those who are in charge of the economy may not even know how to run the economy.

Bang Bang Bang!

"Brother Yang's words are amazing, I'm waiting to be taught." Several scholars heard the meaning of Yang Fan's words, "It is easy to be full of poems and books, but it is better to have the world in your heart." Brother Yang is a role model, which is really noble. ”

Yang Fan smiled and replied: "There is no distinction between superior and inferior knowledge, Confucianism has its own merits. ”

"Good! Each has its own merits! An old man stepped out of the carriage, more than a year old, but his voice was as loud as a bell. With the support of the woman on the side, he walked forward.

"Look, that's ...... Xu Lao! ”

"Xiaosheng Yu Tao, meet Xu Lao!"

The old man was dressed in plain clothes and said with a smile: "You don't have to be restrained, the old man came here this time, it was an academic exchange." The so-called art industry has a specialization, and you and I are equal in academics. ”

Yang Fan's evaluation of Xu Guangqi is one point higher, under the feudal system, the only people who can say this are probably only believers like this who believe in Catholicism and believe in freedom and equality.

With the support of the woman, Xu Guangqi walked downstairs to the Xianju, and Yang Fan and Liu Qi also hurried downstairs to greet him.

"Arithmetic has been abandoned for hundreds of years in modern times. There are two reasons for the desolation. The first is that talented Confucian scholars are busy with practical things; The second is that there are incorrect theories that mathematics has divine power and can know the past and the present, so the development of mathematics is sluggish. The ancient sages studied the methods of governing the country, and they could not be compared with scholars, and academic and political affairs were far worse than those in ancient times. Today, I am a scholar of arithmetic, and I can understand the righteousness, which can be regarded as carrying forward the past and forging ahead into the future. ”

The more Xu Guangqi spoke, the more excited he became. The woman brought a chair and asked Xu Lao to sit down. However, Xu Guangqi refused to sit down for a long time, and still talked and laughed, "I am very fortunate to be able to see the post-graduate students in Beijing and Jiangdong!" Today, the old man of Xianjulou is the east, please inside! ”

Yang Fan smiled: "How dare you let Xu Lao break the bank." Today, Xu Lao's words are thought-provoking, like golden and jade words, this meal is invited. ”

"Yes, Brother Liu Qi is tired of traveling and driving, and he should be hospitable."

Liu Qi stopped again and again, and said, "Old Xu, Brother Yang, and all of you have good intentions. However, the gambling contract is the gambling contract, and it cannot be invalidated, since Brother Yang has solved my three questions, today's Xianju Building, I will be the east! ”

"Hahaha. It turns out that the person who broke the problem is Yang Xiaoyou. ”

Yang Fan arched his hand and said, "Thanks to Brother Liu's concession." is only shallow in the next class, and only knows the skin in arithmetic, Xu Lao Mo is going to put gold on his face. "Also, if in Greater China, if a college student can't even do such a primary school math Olympiad problem, he will be able to read a dog in this life.
