Chapter 33: Two bets

Update in the early morning, ask for collection recommendations

------------------------------

Pang Degong smiled and said to Tian Fan: "Boguang, you just said that if the grain output reaches more than ten stones, the status of the four people of Shinong, industry and commerce will change, so how do you think it will change?" Everyone was very interested in listening to Pang Degong's question, and couldn't help but sit down and wait to hear Tian Fan's answer.

Tian Fan frowned and thought for a while, before he slowly spoke, he said, "Let's say so!" The four people of Shinong, industry and commerce are like the four parts of the human body! Scholars are the brains of human beings, they formulate the major policies for the operation of the country, and they manage and educate the people of the whole country! Agriculture is the foundation of everything, without farmers producing food, everything does not exist, agriculture is the stomach of the human body! Work is the foundation of a strong country, without craftsmen, we do not have all the items needed for food, clothing, housing and transportation, the clothes we wear, the dishes and chopsticks we use, etc., are all made by craftsmen, it supports the foundation of the country, is the skeleton of the human body! Merchants are the foundation of a rich country, without merchants, goods cannot be circulated, the surplus grain produced by farmers, the tools produced by craftsmen, can not communicate with each other, business is the blood of people! In addition to these, there should actually be another soldier! A soldier is the fist and foot of the human body! soldiers, externally to resist external insults, internally, when necessary...... It can also deter some people! Therefore, it should be the five people of Shinong, Industry and Commerce! The status of these five people should be equal! You shouldn't feel like you're a human being when you read a few lines of the classics like you do now! Tian Fan knew that none of these people were dead readers, people who read dead books, so he dared to say that! But none of the capable ministers who have a great reputation in history are dead to study.

For what Tian Fan said, the two old men could still understand part of it, while the three young people heard it in a fog, mainly because what Tian Fan said, which really subverted the current concept. They may not agree with what Tian Fan said, but the two old men didn't speak, but looked thoughtful, as if they were thinking seriously, they couldn't say anything!

Zang Ba was very happy to hear this, Tian Fan said that the world should be the five people, and a soldier like him who was born with a strong background should also be one of them, and his status will rise! Jian Yong was taken aback when he heard it, although it is undeniable that what Tian Fan said seemed to be a little unreasonable, but the education he received since he was a child was the Confucian ideological system of Shi is the head of all people, but he couldn't believe what Tian Fan said, but he couldn't refute it! His idea was that if this sentence got out, Tian Fan would be finished! Xiaoqing was also taken aback, but she was not unacceptable to Tian Fan for what she said, because she was used to seeing the ugly faces of scholars! Relatively speaking, she is more willing to accept Tian Fan's statement, but she also knows the serious consequences that these words can bring when they are spread.

There were a lot of people in the room, but no one made the slightest sound! After a long while, Pang Degong noticed the situation of everyone in the hall and said, "Oh, hehe, Boguang's words...... Meaningful! Cheng Yan and I think about it again, you young people talk, don't hold back! Several people hurriedly agreed.

Pang Tong and Tian Fan's seats were next to each other, and he leaned into Tian Fan's ear obscenely and asked, "Brother Boguang, do you really think Yueying is beautiful?" ”

Tian Fan glanced at him and said, "Then there is still a fake?" ”

Pang Tong asked, "Then what do you think of me?" ”

Tian Fan smiled and said, "You, well, your appearance is different from ordinary people, and there must be something that ordinary people don't have!" Brother, God is fair, he didn't give you a pretty face, but he gave you a flexible brain! Remember, use your brains well, and you can achieve heights that people with beautiful faces will never want to reach in their lifetime! Do you understand? ”…,

Pang Tong nodded thoughtfully, Tian Fan's sentence "God is fair" was an impact on his not too young mind. Pang Tong also had low self-esteem because of his ugliness, but he used that proud appearance to cover it well, and Tian Fan's unintentional words still touched him a lot.

Tian Fan said to Pang Tong again: "Ugly, you remember what I said!" There is no lack of beauty in the world, but there is a lack of eyes to find beauty! Do you understand? Pang Tong smiled at him gratefully.

After a while, Tian Fan turned him by an elbow and said, "Hey, after you finish your studies, how about coming to Xuzhou to help me?" ”

Pang Tong looked at Tian Fan and said, "Brother Boguang, it will take me a few years to complete my studies, will I talk about it later?" ”

Tian Fan didn't want to give up, and said: "I'll make a bet with you, if I win, you will come and help me, how about it?" ”

Pang Tong said, "Oh? What to bet on? I love to bet! You said! ”

Tian Fan said: "I bet that your uncle gave you the word Shiyuan!" Hey, believe it or not? ”

Pang Tong was surprised at this moment, he didn't know what words his uncle would give him, how could Tian Fan know? He said, "A word is a certainty! The two high-fived and swore. Pang Tong thought for a moment and added, "If my uncle told you, it doesn't count!" ”

Tian Fan said: "Of course! By the way, no matter who wins or loses, you must wait until the day you finish your studies to tell your uncle about the content of our bet! Remember? Although Pang Tong didn't understand, he still nodded. Tian Fan was mainly afraid that Pang Degong would interfere with Pang Tong's decision, after all, their family was in Jingzhou, and there might be other considerations!

Pang Degong saw his nephew and Tian Fan whispering, and couldn't help asking, "Boguang, ugly, what are you talking about?" ”

Tian Fan replied: "Pang Gong, we are talking about the words of the ugly brothers!" Hehe. ”

Pang Degong sighed and asked, "What's wrong with his words?" ”

Tian Fan smiled and said, "Pang Gong, I want to ask, what word do you plan to give Brother Ugly?" ”

Pang Degong smiled: "Hehe, Ah Chou is sixteen years old this year, and his studies are considered to be a small success, I was going to tell him next year that he would have given him a good word, since Boguang asked, I will say it in advance!" ”

After speaking, he turned his head to Pang Tong and said, "Ah Chou, I gave you a good name last year, called Shiyuan!" ”

Pang Tong stood up suddenly, looked at Tian Fan blankly, pointed at him, and asked in a chicken voice, "How do you know?" ”

Tian Fan smiled, stroked a handful of beards that had not grown, and said with a divine calculation: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed!" ”

Everyone looked at these two people puzzled, and Pang Degong asked, "Ah Chou, what does Boguang know?" Boguang, what is the secret of heaven that cannot be revealed? ”

Tian Fan replied: "Pang Gong, I made a bet with Ah Chou just now, and I said that the word you gave him is Shiyuan!" Hehe, let me guess right! ”

Seeing that everyone looked at him in shock, Tian Fan hurriedly said: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed, don't ask, I won't say it if I ask!" ”

Although he had already said that the secret of heaven should not be revealed, everyone couldn't help but be curious and still wanted to ask. Just as everyone was about to speak, there was a wave of footsteps outside. Xiao Yueying's voice then came in, and she shouted, "Daddy, come and see the little tiger!" It's beautiful! ”

When everyone heard the sound, they looked at the door, only to see Xiao Yueying holding the little tiger, Hui'er covering her mouth and chuckling behind her, followed by two dogs. These days, it has been the two dogs who are nursing Xiaohu, and with the help of Hui'er, it didn't take much effort for the two dogs to treat Xiaohu as their biological children. One white and one yellow dog, seeing Huang Yueying taking away his child, as if he was not at ease, he followed him here.

Everyone looked at the little guy in Xiao Yueying's arms, hehe, a ball of fluffy white flowers. Xiao Yueying ran to her father with Xiaohu in her arms and showed her father. The little tiger hadn't opened his eyes yet, Xiao Yueying was in a hurry, and the little tiger was screaming dissatisfied, still like a cat's cry! …,

Tian Fan now loves Xiao Yueying, a girl, and has helped him out twice in a row!

Everyone looked at Xiaohu and was amazed. When Tian Fan told them that the two dogs were feeding the little tiger now, everyone couldn't help but look at Tian Fan like a monster, and said in their hearts that this Tian Fan was really acting unexpectedly, and he could come up with any strange trick!

After watching Xiaohu, several people continued to eat and drink, and Huang Yueying was accompanied by Hui'er to the yard to play with Xiaohu. Tian Fan deliberately sat with Zhuge Liang, and after fooling Pang Tong, was he fooling Zhuge Liang?

Tian Fan approached Zhuge Liang and said, "Xiaoliang, when you finish your studies, how about coming to Xuzhou to help me?" ”

Zhuge Liang looked at Tian Fan and said, "Brother Boguang, what do you want to do?" ”

Tian Fan shouted and said, "Where do I want to do something?" I just want you to help me! ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Let's talk about it later!" ”

Tian Fan smiled, Zhuge Liang felt that this guy was laughing with bad intentions, and hurriedly retreated vigilantly.

Tian Fan said: "Are you so afraid of me? Zhuge Liang smiled embarrassedly.

"Xiaoliang, I heard that you are very good at mathematics?" Tian Fan guessed that the repeating crossbow invented by Zhuge Liang was proficient in various formations, and if mathematics was not good, it would be incredible.

Zhuge Liang nodded proudly and said, "Brother Boguang, my number of techniques is already above Teacher Huang!" That's what he told me personally! Tian Fan nodded, and said in his heart that it was probably the old man who encouraged you, are you still serious? But, hey, hey, hey, I'm afraid you don't have confidence in yourself!

He raised his eyebrows and said to Zhuge Liang: "I have a question, in terms of mathematics." If you haven't answered it before the age of twenty, you can come to Xuzhou to help me, how about it? ”

Zhuge Liang is now at the age when he has just completed his studies and has the most confidence in himself, how can there be any reason not to agree? Hearing this, he quickly nodded, as if he was afraid that Tian Fan would regret it.

Tian Fan said: "This question has a certain relationship with the formation! "Zhuge Liang's eyes are already shining! Tian Fan continued: "The topic is like this! Twenty trees are planted on the earth, and four trees are required to have the most straight lines! Seeing that Zhuge Liang wanted to answer,

Tian Fan hurriedly said: "Don't you answer in a hurry, let me tell you, as far as I know, there can be a maximum of twenty straight lines!" And there are many ways! There are seven I know, and if you can come up with three, I'll lose! What do you think? ”

Zhuge Liang was dumbfounded this time, he looked at Tian Fan with a shocked expression, you must know that what he just thought of was sixteen!

Tian Fan said again: "You can ask others for help!" Tian Fan knew that the more he said this, the more Zhuge Liang would not find someone to help, who made him in the period of youth rebellion? Sure enough, Zhuge Liang said that he would never ask anyone for help. Hey, Xiaoliang, Xiaoliang, you just follow me obediently! Can I still run you?

This problem mentioned by Tian Fan is a well-known problem in the history of mathematics. This question has been known all over the world since its inception, and for centuries, no one has been able to break eighteen. It wasn't until the seventies of the last century that someone used a computer to draw the answer to twenty straight lines.

Tian Fan knows seven kinds, he doesn't believe that he can draw twenty answers with the current mathematical technology, but Zhuge Liang's brain melon is very good, who dares to guarantee that he won't touch the shit luck to draw one? So for the sake of insurance, the request to Zhuge Liang was to draw three. The poor Zhuge handsome guy was deceived by Tian Fan unconsciously.

Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan saw Tian Fan and Zhuge Liang chatting hotly, and after glancing at each other, they each smiled. These two old guys are shrewd like monkeys, how can they not understand what the hell Tian Fan is thinking? Zhuge Jin also saw the situation of the two of them, and he also smiled silently, if Tian Fan could persuade his younger brother, who was much smarter than himself, to follow Liu Bei after completing his studies, it would be good. The brothers can also help each other when they are together, and Zhuge Jin is naturally happy to see this kind of thing. …,

Tian Fan and the others had rested enough, more than an hour, so he offered to leave.

Pang Degong, Huang Chengyan and the three young people couldn't keep them, so they had to send them out of the door.

Tian Fan asked them what they planned to do next, and Pang Degong said: "We plan to stay here for a few days, and then go to Langya!" Well, Ziyu will go with us, and when Langya finishes worshipping the ancestral tomb, he will go to Xiapi! ”

Tian Fan said: "Pang Gong, Uncle Huang, after you have been to Langya, go to Xiapi with Brother Ziyu, and then go to see Mr. Han Yu by the way!" I also do my best to be a landlord. ”

Pang Degong said: "Still not going, hehe, we have been out for a long time!" Tian Fan was not easy to stay, and seeing their resolute attitude, he had to agree.

But Huang Yueying didn't do it, she was playing with the little tiger vigorously, and she didn't want Tian Fan to leave.

Tian Fan's mind turned, and he said to Huang Chengyan: "Uncle, I think let Sister Yueying follow me to Xiapi, and then you pass by Xiapi, and then take her away!" ”

Huang Chengyan looked at Tian Fan and smiled, this child's little Jiujiu is too obvious, right? He thought for a moment and said, "Okay then! He turned his head to Pang Degong and said, "Let's go to Xiapi, Han Yu's old thing is not too young, if you don't go to see it, I'm afraid there will be no next time!" Hehe. Pang Degong thought about it and agreed.

Considering the safety on the road, Tian Fan insisted on sending Chen Zhi to lead a hundred guards to follow and protect them. Jian Yong and Zang Ba also persuaded them, but a few people couldn't resist it, so they had to thank them and agree.

Tian Fan said to Chen Zhi: "Uncle Zhi, listen to the two gentlemen along the way, if something goes wrong with the two gentlemen, I can't spare you!" ”

Chen crossed his hands as a salute and promised: "Mr. Tian, don't worry, I will do a good job!" ”

Tian Fan said to him again: "In addition, don't disturb the people! Chen Zhi nodded in agreement.

Huang Chengyan instructed Huang Yueying: "Shuo'er, you must be well-behaved, and you must listen to your big brother Tian Fan!" I'll pick you up in half a month at most! Xiao Yueying is so young that she doesn't have any sorrow when she wants to leave, so she happily agreed.

Tian Fan said a few more words to a few people, nothing more than cherishing or something, and then reluctantly led the team away. Huang Yueying stayed in a car with Hui'er and Xiaoqing, and there was a little tiger, so she wouldn't be in a hurry.

There were no words all the way, and in mid-April, the group arrived in Xiapi.
