But then I thought, no one will use this thing now, so I can't just sell one and teach it once. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info And there was no intellectual property right in ancient times, and I haven't taught a few people yet, so it is estimated that this thing has been imitated by others all over the street. Thinking of this, I felt a sense of loss in my heart. Forget it, it should be regarded as contributing to the progress of human civilization.

"Old Wei, if I can invent a tool that is easier and faster than the arithmetic chip you use, how much do you say the Wei Guild will reward me?" Wang Mai asked tentatively.

"You ......" Wei Zheng was so angry by his words that he blew his beard and glared, "My generation reads the books of sages and does bright things, how can we talk about copper-smelling things?" Wei is ashamed to be with you. Wei Zheng admired this Wang Mai's talent a little at first, but he was broken by the good impression he had just established in his heart with his words.

Damn, scolding people, scolding people, and spraying me with spittle. Wang Mai wiped his face and muttered in his heart, if Li Miguang lets you work and doesn't pay you a salary, see if you still have the strength to scold me here?

"Brother Xuancheng is angry, I'm just joking with you, why take it so seriously."

"Then what's the matter with the new king joining the army looking for you?" Zheng Changshi asked.

"He just asked his subordinates for a carpenter in the army." In the morning, arrange some affairs for Wang Mai, and Zhang Zhan replied.

"What does he want the carpenter to do?"

"In his conversation with Wei Senjun at the time, he said that it seemed that he was talking about making something, but as for how to make it, his subordinates didn't understand it, so he didn't know."

"Humph! Odd lewd techniques. Zheng Changshi snorted coldly, "This Wei Xuancheng has a very bad temper, I didn't expect to get together with the new Wang Senjun so soon." Go and urge them early tomorrow morning, don't let them delay business. ”

"My subordinates understand."

In a short period of time in the army, he could not find any very valuable wood, so Wang Mai took the carpenter around the city, and finally found two good pieces of ash. After the carpenter understood Wang Mai's request, he took a charcoal pen to sketch on the wood, and after some planing and sawing, he quickly set up the wooden frame and skeleton of the abacus. The abacus is more troublesome, it has to be carved slowly one by one, and finally it has to be simply polished. In this way, it was not completed until the sun set in the west. Wang Mai rewarded the carpenter with ten copper coins, and gave him another hundred copper coins, and told him to find some good wood and make ten more. The carpenter thanked Wang Mai with a thousand gratitudes, and said that he would help him finish it as quickly as possible.

"Looking at this thing so finely, you know that it must be a hundred times stronger than the calculation." Wei Zheng stroked the freshly made abacus back and forth, just like touching his lady's hand, looking disgusting. "I just don't know how to use this abacus?"

"Oh, that's right, this abacus still has a formula, as long as you memorize the formula, you can apply it proficiently. The addition formula is like this," Wang Mai said and took the abacus to Wei Zheng to demonstrate, "Add directly, add five to the full, add ten to the ten, and break five to ten to add."

One; One up, five to four, one to nine to one two; two on two, two on five, three two on eight, into one; ……”

Wei Zheng looked at it and didn't memorize the mantra in his heart, and when Wang Mai finished speaking, he had already memorized it in his heart, and found another piece of paper and copied the mantra he had memorized just now onto the paper. Wang Mai took the paper and looked at it, and it was exactly the same as what he had memorized just now. The memory of this ancient man is too rebellious, right? Wang Mai sighed in amazement. He didn't really understand the dilemma of finding a book in ancient times. In the 21st century, if you want to check any information, you can directly use your mobile phone or various mobile terminals to check it through the Internet. However, in ancient times, especially in this era when movable type printing was not yet widespread, the only way people could gather information was through books, except for daily conversations.

"Brother Xuancheng has an amazing memory, he really has the ability to never forget, which is really admirable." Wang Mai expressed his compliments to Wei Zheng.

"Wang joined the army and didn't know anything, his parents died when he was young, and he had no relatives, so he didn't know how many twists and turns it would take to read a good book." Wei Zheng talked about his bleak background, "So every time I get a good book, I try my best to memorize it." Once, I learned that the county magistrate had a rare collection at home, so I asked him to borrow it. The county magistrate ridiculed me for being the son of a merchant and would not lend it anyway. ”

"Oh?" Wang Mai didn't expect Wei Zheng to be a businessman, and he was a down-and-out businessman, "Did Brother Xuancheng get what he wanted?" ”

Wei Zheng nodded: "Later, I took advantage of the absence of the county commander and spent a lot of money to bribe his servants, and finally got what I wanted." Speaking of this, a smug look appeared on his face, and his right hand stroked the short beard under the jaw, "Such an elegant thing is really worth remembering for a lifetime." ”

Who are these people? Wang Maixin said. This person is really shameless, the book belongs to someone else, and it is someone else's freedom to see it or not. It's good that you were rejected by others, and you came up with this kind of bribery to peek at other people's books, and even said that it was an elegant thing? Do you have a bit of copyright awareness? That Kong Yiji was still blushing when he was questioned when he stole the book, you are still very proud.

Wei Zheng was a little jerky when he used the abacus at the beginning, but this guy was also a genius, and he was playing faster and faster, and he quickly reached the realm of blind typing. Wang Mai was dumbfounded, and in less than half an hour, his level was already higher than his own.

"There are some similarities between this set of formulas and the principle of using the formulas of arithmetic, and it seems that the two are in the same line." Wei Zheng touched his goatee and said, "I wonder where Wang Senjun found such a delicate and convenient tool?" ”

"This ......," Wang Mai thought for a moment, "I like arithmetic, and there are a lot of times when I need to calculate numbers." In the early years, when I was studying in Jiangnan, I saw a businessman counting with a bamboo stick through the beads, so he made this calculation on a whim. Later, after many improvements, he summed up a set of formulas that matched his application, and it became what Brother Wei is now in his hands. "Wang Maixin said, who knew that this thing was invented by that person? Anyway, I'll always use it.

"I can't imagine that Wang joined the army with such a great talent, Wei dared to assert that such a strange thing that benefits the country and the people will definitely be famous through the ages in the future, and the name of Wang joining the army will also remain in the annals of history."

"It's just a small calculation tool, Brother Xuancheng is serious." Wang Mai said disappreciatively. If you see modern people flying with computers, don't you think that everyone is a god?

"Wang joins the army, this is wrong. It's not a secret, I like to use the number of tricks, and often deduce the astrological calendar, although I dare not say that I am a master of arithmetic, but I am also quite researched. The most distressing thing in the past was to calculate that Wang joined the army, and I don't know how much time he saved. This alone made Wei admire, not to mention the form you made just now. is hateful, and he despises Wang in the army, and he is really ashamed and indignant, so he asks Wei to worship. After Wei Zheng finished speaking, he actually bowed to the end.

Wang Mai hurriedly helped him: "Brother Xuancheng is really serious, I'm just a trivial little plaything, I really don't deserve such a big gift from Brother Xuancheng." Wang Mai blushed a little and silently said in his heart, sorry for the master who invented the abacus, "Since Brother Xuancheng also likes to study mathematics...... Oh no...... Arithmetic, then we can study it together. ”

"Lord Changshi." Zhang Zhan hurriedly walked to Zheng Changshi's desk.

"Panicked, what's the matter?" Zheng Changshi said with a frown.

"Look." Zhang Zhan put a booklet on Zheng Changshi's desk, "I got your orders yesterday, and early this morning, I went to the house where the two kings of Wei joined the army to ask about the calculation of military funds. Without waiting for the villain to speak, the king took the booklet from the table and gave it to me, saying that he had completed yesterday's task. The little talent is shallow and can't understand the number inside, so he asked Zheng Changshi to adjudicate. ”

"Oh?" Zheng Changshi opened the book in surprise, "How can it be so fast?" Is it really as Qin Shubao said, this Wang Jikai he recommended is an arithmetic master? ”

"By the way," Zhang Zhan suddenly remembered something, "I just entered the room and found a strange object on his desk, which the villain has never seen before. It was about that big," he gestured with his hand, "and around it was a wooden frame, and inside the wooden frame were wooden beads threaded through one by one, and there were several wooden beads on each wooden stick. The villain speculated that it might be the calculation tool he had asked the carpenter to make yesterday. ”

Zheng Changshi lowered his head and frowned and thought for a long time: "Xu Yue's "Chronicles of Mathematics" of the Eastern Han Dynasty contains: Abacus control belt four times, longitude and latitude three talents. Could this be the legendary abacus? No......" He shook his head, as if he was talking to himself: "The abacus recorded by Xu Yue should be carved from a wooden board...... What you just said was made of wooden sticks, which is not in line with the record. ”

"Why does Lord Changshi have to be so sad? Wait for the villain to go again, just ask. Zhang Zhan said on the side.

"yes, go ask ......"

"Wait!" As soon as Zhang Zhan turned around, Zheng Changshi stood up and stopped him. Zheng Changshi pointed to the booklet, "You take it and find a few master books in charge of military resources to quickly verify it together to see if the numbers on it are wrong." If it is correct, let them distribute the military funds to the battalions. In addition, tell them that this is a military aircraft and must not be leaked, and that it will be done in violation of military law. ”

"Yes."

"What? Do you want to worship me as a teacher? No, no, no, no......" Wang Mai shook his head like a rattle. Since Wang Mai showed his hand in front of Wei Zheng yesterday, the relationship between the two is like that of a couple who have just started to fall in love, and the temperature has risen extremely fast. It was already late after a business trip yesterday, and Wei Zheng went to Wang Mai's room to torture him all night, asking all kinds of math problems. This Wei Zheng's knowledge is amazing, and the questions he asks are sometimes difficult to answer even for a while. Wang Mai came to work early this morning with a dark circle under his eyes, but he didn't expect Wei Zheng to be in good spirits, looking like he was going to empty the ink in his stomach. Wei Zheng wants to worship himself as a teacher, how can I afford this? Wang Mai was helpless.
