When all the officials in the household department heard Yang Tong say this, they were all a little surprised, many officials who thought they were proficient in arithmetic were thinking freely, and the more they calculated, the more chaotic they became, at this time, they saw Chu Huan easily calculated, and their calculation methods were very special, and they all looked at each other, they were all very surprised.

No one could have imagined that this seemingly ordinary young man would be able to calculate such a complex topic so quickly.

After a dead silence, someone next to him gently pulled Yang Tong's clothes and said, "Lord Yang, Lord Yang?" ”

Yang Tong came back to his senses and said, "What? ”

"Didn't Lord Yang say that there are two questions?" Someone next to him whispered, "What's the other question?" Since Lord Chu is so capable, why didn't the old man also say another question. ”

Yang Tong coughed twice, relieved himself, and said, "Chu Huan, the old man still has a question, do you dare to do it?" ”

"Lord Yang, please speak!"

Yang Tong pondered for a while, and finally said: "Today there are five cattle and three sheep, which are worth seventeen taels of gold; Ox four, sheep two, worth thirteen taels of gold, and ask how much gold is the value of cattle and sheep? ”

After asking this question, Yang Tong couldn't help but wipe a trace of cold sweat from his forehead.

As soon as the surrounding officials heard this question, they immediately whispered again, and many people immediately frowned, obviously this question stumped them again, and then some people showed a smug look and stared at Chu Huan.

In the previous question, what can be used to cut the foot and add to the foot, but this question is very different, and the difficulty seems to have increased a lot.

Chu Huan frowned and pondered.

Yang Tong was still a little nervous at first, but after a while, seeing that Chu Huan didn't seem to have figured it out, he suddenly showed a hint of triumph, and said lightly: "Chu Huan, can this question be solved?" ”

Chu Huan finally smiled, looked left and right, and saw that there was a flower garden in the yard, and there was soil on the edge of the flower garden, he walked over, broke a small branch, and began to write something on the ground with the small branch.

All the officials couldn't help but gather around to take a look, and soon, everyone's faces showed a blank look.

What Chu Huan wrote seemed to be some kind of symbol, with "4", "7", "+", "X", "Y" and other strange symbols, and no one could understand what was written.

After a while, Chu Huan threw the twig in his hand into the flower garden and said with a smile: "Lord Yang, fortunately, I am not dishonored." A cow is worth two or five dollars, and a sheep is worth one or two five dollars, but I don't know if Chu is right? ”

"You...... How did you figure it out? Yang Tong changed color again, and couldn't help but lose his voice.

Chu Huan pointed to the strange symbols on the ground, his face showed surprise, and asked rhetorically: "Lord Yang, you are an old minister of the household department, proficient in arithmetic, are you ...... Can't even understand these? He looked surprised, which seemed to mean that if Yang Tong couldn't understand these symbols, it would be incredible.

Yang Tong was stunned, Chu Huan's look of surprise, he could naturally see it, seeing Chu Huan's eyes burning, he really didn't dare to admit that he didn't understand these talismans for a while, coughed, stroked his beard and looked at the underground talismans, and pretended to say: "Well, so that's the case, well, Lord Chu...... Lord Chu is really powerful......! ”

Chu Huan smiled: "Chu is still wondering, you are all the elites of Great Qin, and you are also the pillars of the household, it is impossible not to even understand this." He asked an official next to him, "Does this adult understand?" ”

The man was startled, but he pretended to be calm on his face, nodded and said, "Wonderful, wonderful, Lord Chu, your method of solving the problem is really admirable." ”

Chu Huan arched his hand and said, "This adult has won the award." Seeing an official poking his head into his side, he said with a smile: "This adult can naturally understand, right?" ”

The man was stunned for a moment, and immediately laughed and said, "That's nature, that's nature." Yang Tong and another official both claimed to be able to understand it, and if they said they couldn't understand it, wouldn't they be a loss of adults.

Chu Huan asked: "Since this adult can understand it, I don't know if he can know what kind of book this solution method comes from?" ”

This person was stunned, and suddenly felt that everyone's eyes were focused on him, and his heart was extremely nervous, but he still made a solemn look on his face, serious, but said cautiously: "Lord Chu, this seems to be ...... It seems like an old algorithm! ”

"Huh?" Chu Huan showed surprise and said, "Exactly." ”

When this person heard Chu Huan say this, he suddenly gained confidence and hurriedly said: "Don't hide it, such an algorithm is already very rare." I came across a book a long time ago, but unfortunately the book has been lost, ......! Speaking of this, he sighed, looking very regretful.

"I think I've seen it too." An official was obviously unwilling, and looked serious: "Lord Chu, that book seems to be ...... It seems to be called "Tiantu Calculation", well, it seems to be like this, I wonder if Lord Chu also saw it from there? ”

Chu Huan didn't answer, but just smiled: "This adult knows the "Heavenly Diagram"? ”

The man was stunned.

In fact, he deliberately made up such a book in order to hide his ignorance, just to show that he was also very profound, but he never thought that Chu Huan's meaning seemed to really have this book, this person immediately felt that he was really a rare genius, and he was even more serious: "Everyone, please see, these talismans are all from the "Tiantu Calculation", which is an extremely advanced arithmetic, it is said that during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Guigu faction had this knowledge, but it was later lost, hey, it's a pity." Xia Guan only once happened to see a lone book, which mentioned this kind of heavenly arithmetic ......! Speaking of this, he glanced around, and saw that many people were looking at him with a surprised gaze, and immediately felt light, and continued: "It's just that I didn't expect Lord Chu to be proficient in the method of heavenly calculation, which is really admirable." ”

"So this is the heavenly calculation?" Another human: "No wonder, no wonder! ”

"Oh, I've also heard of heavenly arithmetic, it's a great arithmetic, it's been lost for a long time!"

Officials, every word you and I say, are unwilling, but they immediately began to study the "Heavenly Calculation Map", which never existed, and one by one, these officials are not bad at speaking, in a moment, the more they talked, the more round they became, and even some officials pointed to the "Fu" on the ground that they didn't know at all, analyzed its subtlety, and finally unanimously came to a conclusion, the long-lost "Heavenly Calculation Map" reappeared in Chu Huan's body, Chu Huan is proficient in the "Heavenly Calculation Map", and is indeed a great talent.

The corners of Yang Tong's eyes twitched.

He really didn't expect that he wanted to give Chu Huan a big humiliation in public, but Chu Huan not only answered two very difficult questions, but also pulled out a "Heavenly Calculation Chart".

What kind of "Heavenly Calculation Chart" has the ghost seen, Yang Tong has studied the Arithmetic for decades, and asked himself if he is very proficient in the Arithmetic, and he can be regarded as a well-read book, how have he ever heard of any bullshit "Heavenly Calculation Chart"?

But at this moment, all the officials are seriously discussing the "Heavenly Calculation Chart", if Yang Tong points out that there is no "Heavenly Calculation Chart" at this time, it is undoubtedly an enemy of everyone, and everyone must turn against each other in order to save their face, and in the end Yang Tong can only bring humiliation on himself.

Chu Huan couldn't hold back his laughter when he heard these people discussing the Heavenly Calculation Diagram in a matter-of-fact manner, but he also felt helpless for the hypocrisy of human nature.

At this moment, I heard another sound of footsteps, a small official had hurried over, summoned Chu Huan to see Hu Bufan, the head of the household department, Chu Huan said goodbye to the officials, saw Yang Tong's extremely embarrassed expression, smiled secretly, and followed the little official into the main courtyard of the ministry, after the ceremony, as soon as he entered the door, Hu Bufan had already come out of the inner room with a smile, and arched his hand: "Lord Chu, there are some trivial matters to deal with, let you wait for a long time, come on, come on, please sit, please sit!" ”

He seemed very enthusiastic and very polite, it stands to reason that with his identity, there is no need to be like this to Chu Huan, Chu Huan felt awkward when he saw him like this, but he only felt that this Hu Bufan did not have any good intentions.

Hu Bufan sat on the main seat, Chu Huan sat on the side seat, and someone served tea up, Hu Bufan said: "Chu Huan, from today on, you are a member of my household department, the emperor Shengming, you will be transferred to the household department, and you will make the best use of your talents." Du Zhi Cao's affairs, it is not complicated, it is simple but it is not simple, you are the left director of Du Zhi Cao, and the big and small things of Du Zhi Cao will be handled by you in the future. ”

Chu Huan arched his hand and said: "The lower officials have just arrived, and everything is unclear, so I have to ask the ministry for more advice!" ”

Hu Bufan smiled and said, "Lord Chu doesn't need to be so polite. And said: "Guidance, I can't say it, but what you said is not bad, the household yamen, its own household yamen's charter, and the affairs of each yamen are very cumbersome, but they have to be handled finely, if you have no experience, it will be difficult to get started for a while." ”

Chu Huan said: "What Lord Ministries said is true. ”

At this moment, a voice came from outside the door: "Xiaguan Dou Yi, please see your lord!" ”

Hu Bufan said loudly: "Come on, come on, Master Dou, come in!" ”

Soon, a young official in his early forties came in, with an ordinary appearance and no features, but a pair of eyes showed a shrewd look, and as soon as he entered the door, he immediately said respectfully: "The lower official has come to see your lordship, I don't know what your lord's summons commands?" ”

Hu Bufan beckoned and motioned for Dou Yi to approach, then pointed at Chu Huan and said, "Dou is the master, this is Chu Huan, the new Duzhi Cao." Xiang Chu Huan said: "Chu Huan, this is the right director of Duzhi Cao, and he is also your colleague!" ”

Chu Huan had already gotten up, and the two of them saluted at the same time.

"Master Dou, Lord Chu has just arrived, and he is not very familiar with Du Zhicao, if there is anything Lord Chu doesn't understand, you can tell him more!" Hu Bufan stroked his beard and said, and looked at Chu Huan again: "Lord Chu, this affairs of Du Zhi Cao are actually more cumbersome than imagined, Chief Dou has been in Du Zhi Cao for many years and is very experienced, although he is your subordinate, he does not do the affairs of Du Zhi Cao, you can ask him for more advice, and you can also discuss with him more about the big and small affairs of Du Zhi Cao." ”

Chu Huan said with a smile: "Xia Guan understands! ”

Hu Bufan raised his hand and said, "Master Dou, you take Chu Huan to Duzhi Cao to familiarize yourself with it first." Xiang Chu Huan smiled and said: "Lord Chu, if there is any difficulty in the errand, you can come to this official, and this official will definitely be the master for you!" ”

Waiting for Chu Huan and Dou Yi to retreat, Hu Bufan picked up the teacup, looked at Chu Huan's distant back, took a sip of tea, and said to himself with a sneer: "You are transferred to the household department, and it is okay to be honest and keep to yourself, if you want to set off a storm in my household department, this official will definitely make you doomed!" He spat out a piece of tea in his mouth.
