Chapter 222 [New Writing] Two and Three Changes
Two-three-in-one.
***
After asking what happened, Bai Dong felt that he couldn't blame others for not leaving. A poor child who was uprooted from his hometown was bullied in Baijiazhuang, and on the first day, he was thrown into the lake by Sang Wazi for a reason, and on the second day, he was tied to a waterwheel and blew the wind for two hours, and on the third day, he was overturned to make a butt pad for Hum, and Hum ate a lot of beans that day, and he kept farting, and on the fourth day
In short, it is an extremely tragic encounter, it can really be written into a bitter drama, and the working public is guaranteed to sympathize with Wuli and hate Cao'er, the rich lady, and Sang Wazi, the eagle dog thug who wants ~ dissatisfaction; When he was about to be forced to a 'dead end', the poor dick finally picked up his wisdom weapon, successfully counterattacked the rich lady, and let Cao'er run to the boat to catch fish for a long time, isn't it just that the little hands are a little red and swollen from the cold, can this be considered excessive?
This is, of course, excessive!
Cao'er bullied others, Bai Dong naturally wants to persuade and educate, as long as she is not killing people and setting fires, then she can be forgiven; But if outsiders bully Cao'er, it is absolutely unbearable, this field must be recovered, Cao'er can't do it, then be my brother's!
"Cao'er, tell me how you and Sang Wazi lost to him? My brother was curious."
didn't bother with it, Bai Dong was ready to figure out what happened first; You can't underestimate any opponent, even if it's a wandering son of Yue Guo under the roof of the Bai family.
He said that he would bet that if Sang Wazi and I could answer his question, he would be a butt cushion for Hum for another day, and if he couldn't answer, Sang Wazi and I would go fishing for red carp. He said that there are also this kind of red carp in Vietnam. Because I miss my hometown. Want to take a closer look. ”
"Oh. Yes, what kind of question did he come up with, so that you and Sang Wazi couldn't answer? ”
Bai Dong glanced at Wu Zhen and began to pay some attention to this kid; Bet that everyone in the pit can contact the homeland, don't you see that this kid is still a lover? In this way, even if Cao'er loses, maybe he will be moved by his feelings for his family and country, and Sang Wazi and Gou Yuzi do not have such means.
He said there was a word. Everyone will mispronounce it when they see it, and ask us what kind of word this is, brother, he must be lying, how can there be such a word? Cao'er said that his brother's knowledge is very great, and his brother will not be wrong in pronouncing this word, but he said that Cao'er was wrong, and he wanted to catch fish, and we had to catch ten fish before he was willing to say the correct answer! Brother, don't stop the grass, I'm going to catch ten fish, and then it's time for him to say the answer. If he can't say it, he will get a hundred back! ”
"That's it?"
Bai Dong shook his head: "You don't have to catch enough ten fish." Because he really has the right answer. Who told you about such a cunning topic? ”
"I heard Sister Lu Zhen say that Bai Zi is the smartest person in the world, so do you know the answer to this question?"
"That word is the 'wrong' word, and naturally everyone has to make a mistake."
"Ah, yes, yes, my brother is so smart, why didn't I think of it?"
After listening to Bai Dong reveal the answer, Cao'er suddenly realized, clapped her hands and jumped up: "Wu Li, you are cheating, your topic is a lie!" ”
"It's not that Wu Yuan lied to you, it's that you and Sang Wazi's heads are not flexible enough, if you bet like this, even if you bet ten times and a hundred times, you will still lose."
Bai Dong glanced at Wu Zhen with a smile, and actually began to like this kid a little: "Boy, you haven't answered my question yet, who taught you this kind of question?" ”
"No one taught me. When my mother hid in the mountains with Wuyuan, Wuyuan had no friends, so I was bored, so I gave myself a problem every day, and then solved the problem by myself, and solved it by myself, and came up with this strange problem."
"Wu Yuan, it turns out that you are so pitiful, I knew that Lu Dao was like this, and people would not bully you."
Cao'er was still very angry at first, and when she heard that Wuyuan's experience was so pitiful, she gradually even turned her eyes red. Although she had a hard life when she was in Yishi Village, there were still many clansmen, and there were friends like Sang Wazi and Gou Yuzi, but she didn't even have anyone to play with him, which was really pitiful, and she still had to bully him, which was really undeserved.
"Well, you have such an experience, it is not surprising that you can win Cao'er. But you are clever and win my sister-in-law, if I can't win it back, you will underestimate the Bai family characters. Boy, I will also give you a debut question, if you can answer it, Ben Zuo will accept you as a personal disciple; If you can't answer, you have to promise me one thing, this matter will not be difficult, that is, it is extremely hard, once it is done, it will also be of great benefit to you, do you dare to bet? ”
"If you win, you are your personal disciple, and if you lose, will it be good for me? Naturally, you have to gamble! ”
Wu's eyes lit up. During the time he came to Baijiazhuang, the name of this white son filled his ears; He is familiar with the Yue Numen, of course, he knows what it means to be a disciple of Lu Dao, once he becomes a disciple of Bai Dong, this 'Bai Zi' who even Sister Lu Zhen admires is his mentor. This is no better than those enlightened masters, who will regard their students as their sons and nephews, in other words, if he can worship under the Baizi Sect, he will be able to walk sideways in the Qin State in the future! Even if he returns to Yue Country in the future, if he encounters any difficulties, Bai Zi will help him like a nephew!
This opportunity must not be let go, so Wu Li agreed without even thinking about it; If you're lucky enough to answer this question, maybe you'll be able to become a disciple of Bai Zi today! At that time, Sister Cao'er will definitely be better to herself.
"The topic is very simple, have you seen this lake? I want you to weigh the water, can you do that? ”
My brother seems to be a bit of a scoundrel with this topic?
Although Brother Zhilu Dao is standing up for himself, Cao'er still has to sympathize with Wuqi; That's too much of a bully! Who in the world can weigh the water of this lake? If it is Mr. Yang Zhu, it will not work!
"Do you think I'm bullying you for a problem that's impossible to solve?"
Bai Dong smiled and looked at Wu Yuan, with the conditions of this era, even if he had knowledge of three-dimensional geometry and could calculate the cubic volume. It takes a lot of effort to figure out how heavy the lake is; In fact, he didn't want a standard answer. It's a solution. Even if Wu Yuan can say fifty or sixty percent, even if he is qualified to be his own personal disciple.
Wu Zhen looked at Bai Dong seriously: "Can Bai Zi weigh the weight of this lake?" ”
"Of course, I can even give you some hints, this lake is not like Ida, it is very irregular in shape, and the depth of the lake is different, so we can get an approximate value. You can ignore the increase or decrease in water in the lake due to the weather, as long as you can find a reasonable way to weigh it. Even if I pass the test, do you have confidence? ”
"If you can do it, I can do it!"
Wu Yuan walked out of the pavilion, walked a few steps around the shore of the lake, and suddenly stood still: "I need to think, I need time!" ”
"Yes, is two months enough?"
Bai Dong Ha laughed, this kid's stubborn appearance looks like he has just walked out of Yishi Village, and his son can be taught.
"A month. If I can't think of a way to call the lake in a month, even if I lose. Wu Yuan suddenly glanced at Cao'er: "But if I win." In addition to being your personal disciple, I also want you to promise me a condition. ”
"Tell me about it?"
"If I win. In the future, when Sister Cao'er adjusts rouge, she will bring me with her. When I was in the palace, the sisters in the palace would always bring me rouge, and the rouge I mixed was the most beautiful, fragrant and delicious."
Bai Dong couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, could it be that he was a genius and had quirks? This kid still likes rouge?
Sang Wazi had the urge to rush up and beat Wuqi, but Cao'er seemed to be very excited: "Wuqi, you are bragging again." Okay, if you can win your brother, people will bring you rouge in the future, and Sister Kujiu's last rouge hasn't been adjusted yet, people have just learned how to adjust new rouge, it depends on whether you have the ability or not. ”
"Okay, Sister Cao'er is not allowed to deceive people, right?"
Unconsciously smiled, and when it came to rouge, he was more like a teenager.
Cao'er is now in love with rouge? This is a sign of a girl's maturity, in fact, the last time Cao'er sneaked up to find her mother, she should have guessed it.
Looking at the happy grass and Wuqi, Bai Dong suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart, glanced at the angry Sang Wazi, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's okay to win people, but the means must be bright and fair." If I knew that you bullied him by force, even my brother would not help you. ”
"I don't need your help, look at it, sooner or later, you will be my eldest brother, this kid and dog leftovers will not be!"
Looking at the grass that was getting slim and her eyebrows and eyes were gradually opening, Sang Wazi's heart was hot.
***
The dog's heart is a hundred times hotter than that of the mulberry. But it's not because of Cao'er, but for Bai Dong's newly published "Bai Zi's New Calculation".
The book was first sold in the Mandarin supermarket, and the first day of sales on the shelves was average, but on the second day, the sales were booming, and the people who came to buy the book were not only scholars, but also small officials in the government, merchants in various places, and it is said that even the gentleman and Mrs. Tai also had a copy in their hands.
There were even rumors in the palace that Mrs. Guo specially summoned Bai Zuogen for this book, this time it was not to thank her life-saving benefactor brother-in-law, but to complain that what kind of book he published was not good, but this book that seduced people's souls? Although it is not explicitly stated, the clever chamberlains can guess that the Lady of the Kingdom is jealous of the book; The husband got this book and read it day and night, but he actually snubbed his wife because of it, and it is strange that he is not jealous of being a wife.
The popularity of this "Bai Zi Xinsuan" is due to Bai Dong's "New Essays on Arithmetic", which is actually Arabic numerals. The ten Arabic numerals 0-9 must be popularized, this is the basis of mathematics, those who have read this book will soon find that this is a wonderful set of numbers, plus the use of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division order, and parentheses proposed by Bai Dong, as long as a person with a little arithmetic foundation can quickly master the four arithmetic methods; Compared with the one-dimensional equations that subvert the arithmetic rules of this era, this method of operation is easier to master and more practical.
In addition, a new calculation tool was also born with the "Bai Zi New Calculation", which is called the 'abacus', which is said to be able to calculate very large numbers, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division! The abacus formula is recorded in this "Baizi New Calculation", even if they are not interested in the new text of arithmetic, the four operations and equations mentioned in the book, those who wish to learn abacus need to buy a copy.
The sound of crackling abacus spread from Liyang to Daliang, and then as far as Linzi. It is said that some people fought in the streets in order to buy an abacus. I don't even want Sven for the reader; 'Two, five, three. Four on four, four down five to one' is not what Zi said Shiyun today, but Baizi's abacus formula. Yingqu Liang and his family now have to match the formulas before going to bed every day to sleep peacefully, and those who are monarchs also have to learn, and in the future, the account book of the old Qin Yuku may have to quote these formulas, if you can't understand it, it will be a shame.
The first edition of "Baizi New Calculation" was reprinted, but in half a month, 50,000 copies were sold in the Mandarin supermarkets in the national cities of various countries, and there are still countless students waiting for the new edition to arrive. Where is the hard work to notify with dog leftovers? Booksellers from all over the world flocked to Liyang, and Yue Ji's house was full, causing this little lady to laugh non-stop every day, and it is said that her mouth is laughing big because of this, and she needs to find Bai Dong to compensate!
Where are these booksellers? Among them, there are familiar faces in Lantian Auction Agency, as well as contractors and material suppliers of Fengming College, these people have also figured it out, we can make money, what kind of industry is it divided into? Following the Bai family is categorically not a reason to lose money.
As soon as there are many competitors, the price of agency rights is ridiculously high. Merchants from all walks of life understand that this "Baizi New Calculation" is out. Printing is firmly in the hands of Bai Zuogen, from now on the status of the Bai family printing workshop will be incomparable, it is inevitable that there are smart people who will see through the mystery of the book printing, and also make a Zhang family Li family printing workshop, but you also have to have a master manuscript like Bai Zi? In the future, the world will publish books, and the first partner is still the Bai family, so how much is this agency worth, once the competition is in hand, future generations can eat and drink without worry. 'Knowledge will never be saturated'! After reading "Baizi Xinyu Daquan", who wouldn't summarize a few words full of wisdom?
The agency price of the last one was even stunned, not to mention a big country like Wei Chu, and even a small country like Song Lu The agency transfer fee reached 50,000 gold! Counting the margin, nearly one million gold has been recorded in the account, and the Bai family's inner treasury has to be expanded again, otherwise there is really nowhere to pile up that money, this is no longer a rich country, it is really a rich world!
"Knowledge is money"
This is a famous sentence summed up by the dog leftovers himself, and it has been recited for a while since then, and has been cited as a classic by countless people.
Now even an old fritter like Du Zhi can't understand Bai Dong, don't you worry about storing so much gold in Zhuangzi? Even Yingqu Liang has this concern, and has selected 300 people from the 3,000 people who followed Bai Dong's expedition to Yiqu that day, and the old army of Hong Miaozheng who passed the test and was born in class~ The old army of Hong Miaozheng served as the private soldier of the Bai family, and also let Li Di be the chief teacher, in order to ensure the safety of Baijiazhuang, and even asked Bai Dong if he wanted to borrow the old Qin treasury, anyway, our brothers are not outside, what is yours is mine, what is mine is yours, your family has put millions of gold, the second brother is really worried
"Second brother, don't worry, brother, I have my own plans, you look at the money, but in fact, it's still less, not enough brother for me to do big things."
Bai Dong was not worried that Yingquliang would lose his hard-earned money, but he was very worried about that lady. Although everyone has been getting along happily recently, after all, she also has a criminal record.
"You still say it's a lot of money!"
Ying Quliang stared at him speechless for a long time, feeling that the fourth child was too greedy, but he didn't want to say anything, the entire Ying family owed others, there was no reason to see others make a lot of money, right? He's not a rabbit.
Yingquliang has no red eyes, but he can't have red eyes without a break. He is only sixteen years old this year, and before the age of thirteen, he lived a life of fine clothes and fine food, but suddenly lost everything, no one understands the importance of money better than him, he knows that if he has the ability to make money like Bai Zi, he can quickly raise a powerful army and regain his throne as the king of Yue!
But his eyes are red, but he doesn't have a trace of jealousy, now he dreams of solving the problem, and then becomes the personal disciple of this white son, he doesn't dare to expect to be more than the master's skills, if he can learn half of his old man's skills, the country can be determined, and Sister Lu Zhen no longer has to worry about herself.
Sister Lu Zhen is so beautiful, the rouge on her face is fragrant and sweet, people will never forget it once they taste it, that day in the carriage, he secretly tasted it, and was spanked by Sister Lu Zhen, if you learn the skills of the master, can you taste it openly?
"Oh, the book you want"
The rouge of the grass is very good, the little face is red and white, the color is very natural, and there is a special fragrance that touches it, and he walks to Wuli with a smile and hands him a book; Sang Wazi followed Cao'er like a great enemy, glaring at him viciously, just taking the book, if he dared to make any changes, he promised not to show mercy.
"Thank you, Sister Cao'er."
Wu Yuan took the book "Bai Zi Xinsuan", saluted Cao'er respectfully, then picked up the book and walked to the lake, reading it as he walked, and seemed to be very focused.
Sang Wazi snorted: "It's been almost twenty days, and I don't think he can think of a way to call the lake." Cao'er, what do you do with him? It's obviously a man, but he shouts all day long to help you mix rouge, which is not a good way to look at it! ”
"As long as you are a good person, why don't you want to help others with rouge?"
"Cao'er, you know my master. If his old man knows that I will help you with rouge, it will really break my ass, I don't dare"
"You know that you listen to the master, and you won't listen to me? I think it's still good, even my brother praises him for being smart, and he works so hard, every day by the lake to find a way, maybe he can really solve his brother's problem, let his brother accept him as a personal disciple. ”
"Even if he is your brother's personal disciple, he will also call me uncle, and he will have to call you aunt hahaha."
Sang Wazi was reminded by Cao'er, and suddenly figured out something, only to feel relieved in her heart, and laughed loudly. (To be continued......)
