Zhao Shuang never believed that there were people in the world who could answer more than ninety percent of the test questions he had painstakingly prepared!

He was originally a descendant of the nobility, the ancestor was Zhao Jia, the king of the dynasty, after the Qin was destroyed, the clan moved to Tianshui, arrested his great-grandfather and moved to Nanyang, and was hired as a guest under the local surname Zhang. Zhang produced the greatest mathematician, astronomer and inventor of the Han generation, Zhang Heng Zhang Pingzi, and Zhao Shuang's grandfather learned "Lingxian" and "Theory of Calculation" from Zhang Heng, which is quite true. The two sons born, one passed on "Lingxian", that is, astronomical knowledge, and the other passed on "Theory of Calculation", that is, mathematical knowledge - Zhao Shuang is the descendant of the latter.

In this era, there is quite a view of the door, and the secret methods of each family are not taught privately - knowledge is Lilu, how can it be leaked - when Zhang Heng passed on the surname of the law, that is, he was broad-minded and inclusive of the world, and the Zhao family was not so selfless. Therefore, Zhao Shuang was able to dominate in mathematics for a while, and was one of the best mathematicians in the late Han Dynasty, although because of his talent, obsession with arithmetic, and hard study, there is also a large factor because of the family secret method.

Arithmetic has been accomplished, and the scriptures and meanings have to be slightly understood, just when Wei opened the imperial examination and set up a subject of clear arithmetic, Zhao Shuang immediately dressed up and went, and really won the championship in one fell swoop. When he entered the degree department and stood above the court, he looked around, and sure enough, no one could compare to himself, and his pride gradually sprouted. There are only two people who can see him, one is Zhuge Kongming, according to Zhao Shuang's thoughts, Ye Luzi can learn to be like that, even if it is auspicious, there is no comparable genius in the world. He sometimes asks himself, if it weren't for his family history, would he be able to reach Zhuge Liang's current level? The conclusion is -- Xuan.

The second thing that catches the eye is that Taiwei is Hongsuke. To say that it is Hongsuke's arithmetic ability. At that time, it was just a middle level. But on the one hand, he didn't know where to learn a set of Daqin numbers and algorithms. Concise and clear, ordinary addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, no matter how large the number is, no matter how many fractions, it is difficult for him to stop, and the results can be obtained in an instant. On the other hand, Kosuke often has some ingenious ideas in terms of arithmetic, such as the understanding of pi. Not only the ancient people, but also the glory of the ages.

This can only be said to be a natural saint, and he knows it without learning.

It was Hongfu who compiled the "First Introduction to Physics", and many of the numeracy problems were asked to do it for Zhao Shuang, and as for the set of pi, Zhao Shuang checked and found that the error was very small and completely negligible - in fact, according to the needs of this year, it is enough to be accurate to three decimal places. Recently, under the guidance of Hongfu, Zhao Shuang began to use the circumcision method to calculate the pi he gave. It has now been proven that the first four decimal places are correct, as for the last six places. More detailed and complex calculations will take time.

As far as Zhao Shuang knows, there are very few people who have learned Zhang Pingzi's arithmetic, and the few words he has publicly circulated are not understandable to ordinary people even if they look at it, let alone learn and develop. The only true inheritance is in his Zhao family, and Zhao Shuang's father died early, and there are no brothers up and down - that is to say, there was only one Zhang Heng in the math master a hundred years ago, and only one person will inherit his mantle a hundred years later, and the rest is not enough.

Without the secret method to teach, no matter how talented you are, you can only learn to be like Zhuge Kong Ming, how can anyone be more powerful than Kong Ming? Zhao Shuang resolutely disbelieved this.

However, the answer sheet was placed in front of him, and there was indeed a famous scholar who answered the eighteen questions correctly. You must know that the questions Zhao Shuang came up with, the parameters are extremely huge, and they are fragmented, and it is impossible to get it right, not to mention that one Meng is a full ninety? Is it reasonable?

Then there is only one possibility - there are cheats and leaks in the exam questions.

In fact, although Zhao Shuang's questions are very difficult, it is not absolutely impossible for no one to answer, as long as the test taker is given enough time, for example, a month or two, people with a little ability can always calculate the correct answer - as for Zhuge Kongming, the time of the three pillars of incense can be answered correctly, according to Zhao Shuang's estimate, leave him a whole day, and he will be able to win all.

So it must have been this person who knew the exam questions in advance, took time and effort to calculate the answers, and then went to the exam room to transcribe them. Dare to cheat in person, it is tolerable, which is unbearable! And who leaked the exam questions must be investigated in detail and severely punished! Zhao Shuang was furious because of this, and immediately ordered the little official - "Quickly bring this person to me!" ”

Then he directly took this exam paper and went to find Hongsuke.

Zhao Shuang, as the deputy chief examiner in charge of the Ming Arithmetic Department, stayed near the examination room, so that if there was a problem, it could be solved at any time. The Ming Jingke has the largest number of exams, and is forced to be divided into two examination rooms, Hongfu and Ren Yi each live in one place - so Zhao Shuang is in the Huangzhuang outside the north gate of Luoyang, and Hongfu is Taixue in the east of the city, but the distance is not close.

But Zhao Shuang was so angry in his heart that he couldn't wait for a moment, so he directly ordered someone to bring the mount, galloped all the way, and arrived at Taixue just after noon. As soon as I got off the horse, I saw that the door was open, and one after another, there were candidates who either looked around happily or hung their heads gloomily -- the Ming Jing examination had just ended -- and hurriedly signed up, and saw that it was the Taiwei who was perched on the couch, looking impatiently at a few test papers that had been submitted earlier.

It's Hongsuke's mood is not very good, because at present, most of the test papers are clichés, or talk on paper, and there are not many articles that can get into his eyes. Hearing that Zhao Shuang was coming, he just left the test papers - anyway, there are so many papers, and he and Ren Yi alone can't look at them, and they have a large group of officials from the Ministry and the Election Department for preliminary screening--raised his head, and asked: "Junqing, can you get a horse?" ”

Of course, he has also seen the exam questions Zhao Shuang, and he tried it himself, but basically he couldn't answer any of them-this must be at least the level of the high school science class in later generations, but all the mathematics, physics and chemistry knowledge in his high school years has been returned to the teacher, and there is no trickle left-so I am curious, can you really discover any talents for such a difficult topic?

If you can pass Zhao Shuang's level, it must be a household and engineering department that doesn't need training, and can be used by pulling in.

Zhao Shuang snorted and took out a test paper from his sleeve and handed it to Shi Hongfu: "There are eleven people, but this paper is the best, and it is better than Kong Ming's calculations......"

Hongfu didn't pick it up, but suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Is it not Fufeng Ma Dehengye?" ”

Zhao Shuang was stunned when he heard this, and the exam paper was according to Hongfu's plan. That's all about pasting names. Prevent cheating. He patronized and got angry, but he didn't have time to look at the name on this "cheating" exam paper. So I tore open the paste seal, and sure enough, I saw a line of small characters on it: Ma Jun Deheng, Wugong County, Fufeng County.

Zhao Shuang couldn't help frowning: "Does the Taiwei know this person?" "I can't believe that you leaked the exam questions to him, right? Is that your relative or a disciple? It seems that you have made up your mind for this cheat, how dare I oppose you, the examiner.

It was Hongfu who smiled faintly: "I have never met, but I have just heard of his name." ”

The reason why he knew Ma Jun's name was that a few days ago, he sent a letter from his younger brother Shijun from Zheng County, which contained the process of wrongly arresting three scholars, and even he once had murderous intentions. It all depends on the awakening of the Wei Gang monk, and there is no hidden thing, and it is explained one by one. It's Hongsuke who didn't take it seriously at first - if you really killed innocent people in vain, maybe I still have to think about whether to help you cover up, it's just that the three people were arrested by mistake, and they have been relaxed, what a big deal, don't say that you are my relatives, even if you are an ordinary acquaintance. It can also be hidden.

But then he saw the name of Ma Jun and Ma Deheng, and Hongfu couldn't help but be slightly stunned. searched for dry intestines, but he really couldn't remember how old the Ma Jun he knew in his previous life was, and whether he was from Fufeng County. However, the name and the name are all the same, so it shouldn't be such a coincidence......

So he has been paying attention to this matter, and when the scholars who took the exam came to Beijing one after another to register for the subjects, it was Hongfu who searched for Ma Jun's name, and sure enough, he could see it in the Ming Arithmetic Department, so he could be sure that he would not leave ten. Therefore, when I heard Zhao Shuang's report today, I couldn't help but blurt out: "Is it not Fufeng Ma Dehengye?" ”

Zhao Shuang originally came to the chief examiner to report the matter and asked for a strict investigation of fraud, who thought that it was Hongfu who opened his mouth and said his name, he couldn't help but be in a dilemma, and his face showed embarrassment - the other party said "I have never met before, I just heard his name", which has nothing to do with this Ma Jun, but ...... Can you really believe this?

It was Hongfu who once rushed among the princes, and was the best at observing words and feelings, and when he saw Zhao Shuang's expression, he immediately felt his heart, and couldn't help laughing: "Junqing, do you think there are drawbacks?" ”

Zhao Shuang hurriedly bowed down and arched his hand: "Shuang doesn't dare to speculate." "I don't dare to speculate, but the meaning is very clear-I do have some suspicions, but after seeing you, I don't dare to think deeply.

It was Hongfu who stroked his beard and asked softly, "Junqing, when is Qing going to take the test?" ”

Zhao Shuang said that I just prepared it yesterday - he has a lot of official and private research at hand, and he is busy all day long, so he didn't have the heart to get involved in the imperial examination, but Hongfu personally ordered the generals, and persuaded him to choose Yicai because of this, which can not only help you work, but also enter your door and pass you the algorithm, so that he can be moved. After all, when he won the imperial examination, it was Hongfu who was the main exam, and since then, he has taken care of it many times, so that he has to be a thousand stones at the age of only two Langzhong, with this kindness, how dare he disobey his will? But even so, he had to grind until the last day, and then spent half a day preparing the exam questions and handed them over to the examiner.

It's Hongfu who asked, after you prepared the exam questions, who did you show them? Zhao Shuang said that only Taiwei and Kong Ming could see each other. It was Hongfu who said: "Junqing doubts me? I couldn't have answered, but if it leaked out, who would answer in the middle of the night? Kong Ming can answer, Jun Qing doubts Kong Mingye? ”

You bragged to me yesterday about how difficult this set of questions is, and even if you give it time, it will take a whole day to get all the questions right. I can't answer this question, even if I leak it, this person can answer ninety percent correctly overnight, and he is considered a talent; Kong Ming has already answered eighty percent correctly, do you doubt that Kong Ming will not succeed? Although you and I are the same as the guests, teachers and students, we don't usually have much contact, you and Kong Ming are good friends, don't you know how he is?

Zhao Shuang pondered for a long time, and couldn't help sighing: "Shuang Gujing Frog is also - is there such a talent in the world?" "Is there really such a genius who can learn more than Kong Ming by relying on Ye Luzi alone, and he is even chasing after me?

It was Hongfu who comforted him with a smile: "'There must be faithfulness in the ten-room city', 'Threesome, there must be my teacher', 'Etiquette is lost and seek the wilderness'......" Three words of the sage were cited in a row - "There are sages in the wilderness, and you will be light?" If it can be sent now, it will be a blessing for the country. Then he asked, "I don't know where this man is?" ”

Zhao Shuang squeezed his eyes slightly embarrassed: "Shuang is afraid that there are drawbacks, and he has ordered the officials to arrest him......" (to be continued......)
