Chapter 337: A New Chapter
For a while, the audience was silent, and no one dared to step forward to answer. Because among these people, basically none of them have studied mathematics. It is a small matter to lose one's face in front of the envoys of the subject country, but it is a big matter to lose the face of the Han Empire. Even the sword boy Guo Xie was silent, he had traveled widely before, and had also met some people who were powerful in mathematics, but far water could not quench his thirst. And these people only have some talents, and they don't specialize in mathematics, so it is estimated that even if they come, they can't compare.
"Why, you dignified men, are there no one?" Seeing that no one dared to come to answer, the county lord of Changsi said with a sneer, and his contempt was overflowing. Everyone was embarrassed for a while, but they couldn't refute what she said.
"Why don't you talk about the topic first and see if you can solve your problem. At this time, Emperor Wu said in a very flat tone, which can be regarded as a round. The people who received the envoys also felt that Emperor Wu's words were very wise, and it was the best way, maybe her topic was not too difficult.
"Good!" said the county lord of Changsi with a light snort, "There is a merchant in our country, and he has a total of a thousand porcelains to sell. Packed into ten boxes according to different numbers, no matter how much others needed, he did not have to open the boxes and give them the whole box, how did this merchant of my country manage it?"
From one to one thousand, no matter which number can be made up in a whole box? How is this possible? Hearing this difficult problem from the county lord of Changsi, everyone's first thought was impossible. There are a thousand options from one to a thousand, and how can a combination of ten boxes satisfy all the numerical requirements of a customer? But a thousand is too much, and it has to be packed in ten boxes. If you want to test them one by one, I'm afraid you won't be able to test them for a few days.
The title of Lord Changsi was very easy to experiment, but her problem was raised in public. She can't wait a few days to give her an answer. The Han Empire had never studied logarithms, and for a time encountered this problem. Everyone was at a loss.
"What's the matter? Could it be that the geniuses of your great Han are not as good as a merchant in my Moyue Kingdom?" Prince Mole sneered. One sentence made everyone glare at him, but they couldn't refute it. And Emperor Wu's face was very ugly, and he was ridiculed in public by the envoys of a small country, which made him unable to let go of his face.
After hearing this question, Li Changsheng was dumbfounded. He thought it was a difficult problem he didn't understand, but it turned out to be so simple. When he used to study, mathematics was a compulsory subject, and it was easy to deal with such a problem. At first, he didn't stand up because there was a big difference between ancient mathematics and modern mathematics. There are too many proper nouns in ancient mathematics that are difficult to understand, such as quotient. Practice, law, borrowing...... Too, "Tian Yuan", "Earth Yuan", "Human Yuan", "Wu Yuan", etc., the rules are obviously very simple, but they make people feel foggy.
If the county lord of Changsi came up with these proper nouns to take the school examination, even if Li Changsheng learned the binary quadratic equation, the unary quadratic equation would feel powerless. But the county lord of Changsi had such a 'problem' close to life. It made Li Changsheng feel more cordial, and it was too easy to understand the question and solve it.
To put it bluntly, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to understand the meaning of the questions he practiced at the beginning, so he didn't get ahead. If he knew that the 'problem' was so simple, he would have stood up. Responding to the challenges of foreign envoys and maintaining the majesty of the Han Empire was the duty of the Eight Great Princes.
"This merchant of your Mo Yue Kingdom is just an opportunistic accident, how can it really be compared to the genius of my great man? I already know. At this time, Li Changsheng stood up. Said. Seeing Li Changsheng stand up, Emperor Wu was suddenly overjoyed in his heart. Someone stood up to solve the problem of the envoys, and the face of the Han Empire was saved. However, he was also very puzzled in his heart, Li Changsheng was famous for his talent in poetry, and he had never heard of him studying mathematics. The question raised by this Changsi County Lord was so difficult, and he was able to solve the mystery in such a short time?
"You, can you solve it?" Lord Changsi was also shocked in his heart. When she heard that there was such a strange foreign businessman in China, after a day of calculations, she solved the mystery, but the person in front of her knew it in such a short period of time? She originally thought that even if someone in the Han Empire could solve this problem, it would be in a few hours, after all, the Han Dynasty has a large number of talents that cannot be underestimated. If it is solved in a few hours, the Han Empire will also lose face, but he didn't expect Li Changsheng to stand up and say that he knew the answer without thinking about it.
"You can speak up and listen to ......," Chang Si said. Although she knew that Li Changsheng was among the eight princes, it was impossible for her to say big things at this time, but she still didn't believe that someone in this world could calculate such a problem in an instant. In mathematics, in order to calculate the problem, it is necessary to use the wood chip operator to calculate the quotient, real, method, borrowing and other methods one by one. No matter how talented you are, you won't be able to do such a problem for a while.
"It's actually quite simple. Li Changsheng said: "The first box contains one, the second box contains two, and the third box contains four ......."
Hearing what Li Changsheng said, everyone was surprised. At the same time, he was also skeptical, what he said was the right method? There were only ten boxes in total, and if they were filled with one, two, or four, three boxes had already been wasted, and how could the remaining nine hundred or so be loaded? Only the more the county lord Changsi listened, the more frightened she became, because she knew that Li Changsheng's answer was correct.
"The ninth box, two hundred and fifty-six, the last box ......" Li Changsheng paused and said lightly: "Four hundred and nineteen." As he spoke, some officials of the Han Dynasty were also secretly calculating in their hearts, but later on, the number was too large to be checked one by one. Even the sword boy Guo Jie, a kendo genius, was calculating in his heart, but he was only a kendo genius, not a math genius, and in the end, he didn't know whether Li Changsheng's answer was correct or not.
"How about it, my answer is okay, right?" Li Changsheng said.
Your answer is correct. The county lord of Changsi had a miserable face, but he had to say. This question is too close to reality, whether Li Changsheng's answer is correct or not, you will know it by trying. In fact, this problem has found a law and is very easy to solve, the number behind is twice as many as the first, but the last number is not twice as much as the ninth, so she calculated for a long time before she dared to finally determine the answer, but she didn't expect Li Changsheng to say it so easily, without doubting its correctness at all.
Could it be that his talent in mathematics is dozens of times higher than mine? Dahan is really an outstanding person, and I am really a frog at the bottom of a well. The county lord of Changsi thought in his heart. (To be continued.) )
PS: Re-update, let's talk some nonsense. First of all, this book will never be a eunuch, and a person's hard work will not be blasphemed. Secondly, it hasn't been updated for a long time, and I'm really sorry for those loyal book friends who automatically subscribe. How to say, if a favorite job can support themselves, who doesn't want to do it? In order to live, everyone has too much helplessness......
