"Twelve-Year-Old ......"

Li Longji was speechless, and really wanted to glare at Ye Chang and reprimand him for bragging and lying and not typing drafts.

The problem of Guozijian's assistant teacher can be easily solved by a twelve-year-old boy in Lushun Academy, doesn't this mean that the assistant teacher of the highest university in the Tang Dynasty is not as good as a naughty boy in Lushun?

But Li Longji understood in his heart that Ye Chang's words ...... I'm afraid it's not fake. This kind of thing, Ye Chang has always been difficult to brag.

Moreover, the example of Ku Ding Jieniu mentioned by Ye Chang just now also made him Huo Ran surprised.

Why was Ye Chang able to do so many great things after he was born eleven years ago? From his initial diversion of water from the Hongqu to this year's defeat in the west of the Green Ridge, he once said a meaningful sentence when he summed up these achievements.

He was able to achieve this result only because he was closer to the Tao than ordinary people.

Everything contains the avenue, and if you can know the avenue, you can borrow the power of everything.

Li Longji couldn't help but think deeply for a while, and at this moment, the situation in the test room changed, Yang Fan solved the second question, and then Yue Xi solved the third question.

Qu Tanxun's eyes were red at this time, and he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

In addition to the first question, in his opinion, it is simpler, it is a hard topic, the second and third questions, but they are all difficult problems that require some brains, and the third question is Han Xin's point of military question, which comes from "Sun Tzu's Sutra" and does not know the number of things, but it is much more difficult than the example given in "Sun Tzu's Sutra", and the method of solving this problem is the method of calculating the astronomical calendar.

"How is this possible...... Alas, yes, yes, Ye Chang raised the monks and his party, and Zhang Xiu, the nephew of the line, was under him, and the arithmetic of these teenagers was Professor Zhang Xiu, and they were the disciples of the second line, and it was inevitable that they would solve such problems, but ...... How did they calculate so fast? ”

Although Qu Tanxun was anxious in his heart, he had not yet reached the point of chaos.

The first three questions are just trouble, but they are not difficult problems, and the real problems are still to come. Thinking of this, he settled down a little, and then sat down, and as soon as he sat down, he heard someone from his side shouting: "It's done"

They finally solved the first question, and after sending the answer to the little official, Qu Tanxun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Solve the first question...... The second question shouldn't be too difficult, right?

The second problem is a problem of finding the area of an irregular field, and the key is that this field involves polygons such as fan, triangle, diamond, and trapezoid, and it needs to be cut and repaired - that is, several auxiliary lines must be made. Although the shape of the field was drawn in the title, everyone couldn't help but be dumbfounded, stunned for a while, and Qu Tanxun said angrily: "How can there be such a field in this world, it is obviously difficult."

The students looked at each other, the questions they gave each other were actually difficult questions, but who knew that the other party would answer them so easily?

"Do it quickly, do it quickly, pick up the easy ones and make them first." Qu Tanxun also knew that Dao anger didn't work, so he immediately began to examine the problem.

Among the surrounding people, some people couldn't help but start whispering, but it was still the pressure of the messengers, and they quieted down again.

This quiet, I could hear the crisp sound of the horn starting to crack here in Lushun Academy, it turned out that Yue Xi was starting to use the abacus, and after a while, Yang Fan and Cai Chenguo also grabbed the abacus and began to calculate.

"It's a crisp sound, but that thing, is it really usable?" Someone asked in a low voice.

"Naturally available, don't forget, that thing must have been invented by Ye Zhongcheng, what is not good about the objects that Ye Zhongcheng has invented over the years? Coal stoves, fire kangs, underground wells, four-wheeled carriages, rutted rails, according to me, Ye Zhongcheng's intelligence and ingenuity are no less than Luban Kongming"

The people now have some blind trust in Ye Chang, and Lu Yu, who was crowded in the crowd, nodded slightly: In fact, not only these, Ye Chang also has many very important inventions, but ordinary people don't know about them.

In Chang'an and Luoyang, he has seen the textile workshops driven by water power - these workshops were originally pioneered by Ye Chang, but now they have been learned by many people, although their efficiency can not be compared with Liaodong, but the scale is getting bigger and bigger.

As a result, cotton was planted more and more in the Central Plains, and the price of grain rose slowly, but the price of cotton was so low that many tenant farmers had to give up their rents and work in the workshops.

Lu Yu vaguely felt that Ye Chang seemed to be promoting this process intentionally or unintentionally, and his construction of roads, dredging waterways, and running postal services were to alleviate the problems that arose in this process. But Ye Chang is only on his own after all, the world is still Li Tang's world, and his kindness can only take care of what he can see

Jianghuai, and even Jiangnan, are beyond the reach of Ye Chang's power, and the situation there is not optimistic. Ye Chang transported a large number of grain from Jianghuai to the Central Plains through waterways and rutted rails to relieve the grain pressure in Guanzhong, but in this way, the price of grain in Jianghuai was rising, and when there was no green and yellow, he even fed on vegetables.

If this situation continues to develop, I am afraid that there will be unforeseen circumstances

Although Lu Yu is young and doesn't have much knowledge, he also has this kind of feeling, how can local officials everywhere not know. But like today, he is so happy, he loves to listen to the words of whitewashing, he is arrogant and lascivious, and he is tired of seeing people who are guilty of straightforward advice, who will not be happy with his future, and take such things to sweep the interest of the Son of Heaven

was pondering his thoughts, Lu Yu heard the people around him shouting: "Ah, it's so fast"

As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw that Yue Xi had handed over the answer to another question, and his expression was very relaxed.

Correspondingly, there is the Guozi Supervision School, all of which are blue and white, and they seem to be under great pressure.

"Four questions...... Lushun Academy did four questions in a blink of an eye, how long has it been, and I don't know if there is a quarter of an hour" Someone looked at the leaking copper kettle on the side, and exclaimed in surprise: "Just a quarter of an hour"

There are ten questions in total, and four of them were done in a quarter of an hour, whether it is right or wrong, the speed alone is really amazing.

"Why is this happening, could it be that the Guozi Accounting School deliberately released water, and all the questions are easy?"

"I've heard of someone running a gambling market who wants to bet on the outcome of this trial......"

"Hugh is talking nonsense, this big test, it is related to the name of the Guozi Supervision and Accounting Museum, and even to the future of the doctors and students of the Mathematics Museum, how can the water be released?" sneered reasonably: "You don't want to think about it, these students of the Arithmetic Hall have to rely on this arithmetic ability to hold official positions, if they lose, doesn't it mean that they are not as good as the disciples taught by Ye Zhongcheng's private school?" ”

"Then why is Lushun Academy doing it so easily?"

"Strength, do you understand the gap in strength, if the doctors and students of the Arithmetic Hall are far from the arithmetic skills of Lushun Academy, how can they make difficult problems to live in?"

"Gap...... Is it that big? Hearing this, the people around him exclaimed.

Li Longji in the city also felt a little embarrassed, from the current point of view, the arithmetic level of the Guozi Supervision School and Lushun Academy is really different

"Ye Chang, it seems that your confidence is not without reason." He glanced at Ye Chang obliquely and said.

"What does Your Majesty mean?"

"Absolute advantage, so it seems that in about a quarter of an hour you can win."

"The sage doesn't know that Lushun Academy teaches arithmetic in the method of weekly rites, which is naturally different from the arithmetic hall."

"The Law of the Week?" Li Longji thought of Ye Chang's performance, and shook his head with a smile: "The Zhou Li you said is just the six arts." ”

"Exactly, it is contained in the "Zhou Libao Clan", "Raising the son of the country with the Tao is the six arts of teaching." One is five rites, two is six music, three is five shots, four is five drivers, five is six books, and six is nine numbers. Although its ranking is in order, it is important but not secondary. As far as the minister knows, the Guozi Supervision School Museum is called the Arithmetic Museum, in fact, it is still mainly based on poetry and books, and arithmetic is only supplemented by it, and in its teaching and study, ten do not account for one. In Lushun, arithmetic and calligraphy are generally mastered, and they are prominent in the academy, and they attach great importance to urinating. There is this difference, so there is this result. ”

Li Longji nodded slightly, and he glanced at Ye Chang: "Why do you attach so much importance to arithmetic?" ”

"The minister thinks that all the avenues in the world are inseparable from arithmetic as the cornerstone." Ye Chang paused slightly: "Repair the city, dig the river, collect the levy, and support the military rations; Spring planting and summer harvesting, autumn storage and winter storage, fishing and hunting traders, all kinds of workers are prosperous. This kind of thing, without arithmetic, will be chaotic. ”

Speaking of this, Ye Chang glanced at Yang Zhao and Wang, in order to compete for favor in front of Li Longji, these two people looted the people as a means of financial management, forced the people to be poor, and also greatly affected the market of industrial products in Liaodong. He felt that at this time, it was an opportunity, and he immediately said: "The minister said bluntly, in the hands of Yang Guang in the previous dynasty, if there were people who were proficient in arithmetic and could use it in trust, if they wanted to come to the battle of the canal and the expedition of Liaodong, they would not incur the resentment of the world and destroy the country."

Li Longji was stunned, Ye Chang commented on the king of the former dynasty, especially in front of him, which is still rare. And Ye Chang has something to say, it seems that he has a deep meaning, he is old now, and some things can't be reacted to for a while.

"To be ashamed, although you are very good at arithmetic in Lushun Academy, you should not be so infinitely inflated in terms of the effectiveness of arithmetic." Yang Zhao coughed, and then retorted.

As soon as he spoke, Li Longji reacted: I see

Ye Chang is criticizing this euphemistically, but now he is a scholar, emphasizing the rhetoric of articles and ignoring arithmetic. If, according to Ye Chang's intentions, arithmetic is raised to a level corresponding to the assignment of articles, wouldn't it mean that a large number of students will be elected as officials from Lushun Academy every year? When these people reach the officialdom, they are intertwined with Ye Chang, forming a great force, and they will inevitably become the henchmen of Zaizhi

Yang Zhao obviously understood this, so although he avoided a head-on conflict with Ye Chang as much as possible, he couldn't help but stand up at this time.

Ye Chang said with a smile: "Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty dug a canal, worked excessively, conquered Liaodong, and gathered unlimitedly. If someone first calculates the limits of the country's financial resources and manpower, and then calculates the extreme amount of financial resources and manpower consumed by opening rivers and conquering the river, compared with the two, although Emperor Yang of Sui is brutal, how can he not know the truth that these two cannot be rushed? ”

"You ......"

"Okay, don't fight." Li Longji said lightly, interrupting Yang Zhao's words.

When it comes to arithmetic, it's better not to argue with Ye Chang. It's just that he doesn't want Yang Zhao to fight with Ye Chang, but he can't stop Ye Chang from fighting with Yang Zhao.

Ye Chang is a person who easily dies down, and his purpose is not so simple.

"The imperial court paid taxes today, it is reported that three times that of the Jin Duke was the prime minister, the minister felt a little surprised, now the household registration has not been three times that of that time, the acres of land have not been three times that of that time, the prosperity of the industry has not been three times that of that time, and the annual income of the treasury is three times that of that time. The minister did not know whether it was the poor arithmetic of the household department, or the other reasons, which had to be carefully investigated by the sage. ”

"This" Yang Zhao took a breath, as if he had a toothache, Ye Chang's attack like this was really unbearable, and the eyes of everyone in the city looked at him, waiting for his response.

After taking a breath, Yang Zhao said: "Ye Zhongcheng doesn't say this, the minister also has to ask the sage for guilt, the minister is the head of the household, and he has indeed had it, and he does not know the people's power and increases taxes without permission, and he has the trouble of exhausting and fishing." ”

Everyone was stunned, and Yang Zhao actually recognized this mistake

What's going on, admitting this mistake is a big setback for Yang Zhao, the situation has not yet reached this point, what is Yang Zhao's plan?

Everyone looked at Ye Chang again, and found that Ye Chang looked calm and had no surprises, and then heard Yang Zhao say again: "However, the minister calculated that there are three main taxes for this tax increase, one is the tax of the two major chambers of commerce of Anton and Yunnan and the Bank of Anton, the second is the commercial tax of important towns such as Beijing and Dongdu, that is, Chenliu, etc., and the third is the tax of Gyeonggi. The ministers are stupid, how one and the other come about, the ministers have a number, only Gyeonggi pays taxes, why under the sage's reduction of taxes year after year, it is still several times that of the past, it is not known to the ministers. ”

Wang Yuan was watching coldly from the sidelines, watching Ye Chang and Yang Zhao fight each other, but when he heard Yang Zhao say this, his face changed, and he was waiting for a response, but at this time, Ye Chang continued Yang Zhao's topic

It is said that the sage was merciful and exempted the people of Gyeonggi from rent, but the envoy of Gyeonggi made the people pay the transshipment fee, and the freight collected was several times higher than the rent of the people. When the minister was in Anxi, he heard that the old practice of the imperial court that the soldiers of the garrison frontier should be rent-free, and they were rotated once in six years, but when the minister was in Anxi, he found that Gao Xianzhi had repeatedly lost his teacher, but he was ashamed to inform the imperial court, so the name of the soldiers who died in the battle was still above the household registration.

Ye Chang's words were unhurried, and his voice was not too loud, but in the ears of the courtiers, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and it was Li Longji, who also stared, and his eyes moved around Ye Chang and Yang Zhao.

These two men are clearly singing and harmonizing, and the point of their spear is the king

The courtiers originally thought that Ye Chang and Yang Zhao were fighting incompatible, and the two sides used these competitions to learn arithmetic, all in order to hit each other, but they never thought that these two people would regain their tacit understanding at some point, and their real target of attack was the king

Even the king himself was blindsided for a while, and stayed there, not knowing what to say.
