Chapter 42: Calculation Tools (I)
The first more delivered.
The competition between Zhou Dian and Zhou Tui is so fierce, I want to explode the first few juhuas, everyone supports the top, it's very cool to burst!
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
"You are twins too?" Meng Han looked at the two identical faces and immediately understood everything. No wonder the two of them knew that this was the cursed land of Huangsha Town to recruit guards, and they would be so enthusiastic, so it was.
Twins themselves, they certainly don't fear the curse of any twins. Moreover, their status as twins is easier for the inhabitants of the territory and themselves to accept. It seems that the two are also smart people.
It's just that Meng Han didn't know why they didn't grow up in Huangsha Town, but acted as mercenaries outside. And they will also be vindictive, which is obviously not grown up in a discriminated environment.
Meng Han also asked his doubts, and of course, he also affirmed that the two of them did not need to answer.
Qiao and Zhu looked at each other, and Qiao spoke on behalf of the two. Soon, Meng Han knew everything. When they were born, the family was reluctant to abandon them, and their parents deliberately took them to secretly hide in a place where ordinary people could not find them. Taught them martial arts and practiced the fighting spirit of the family from an early age, until their parents died last year, and the two left the place where they grew up and joined the mercenaries.
In order to fear that others would know their twin identities, the two adopted this knightly dress and successfully deceived many of their partners. After seeing Meng Han's notice recruiting guards, they realized that they finally had the opportunity to become real knights, and it just so happened that Meng Han himself was the lord of Huangsha Town, and he would never discriminate against the twins, so he took the initiative to volunteer to come to the door.
Alice had already arranged the mercenaries and hurried back here. As soon as they saw that Qiao and Zhu were actually twins, they both seemed to understand something, and they didn't ask anything.
The identity of twins gives everyone a common sense of identity, and Qiao and Zhu quickly integrate into Huangsha Town. Of course, Meng Han would not refuse this kind of good thing, and accepted the two. The matter of canonizing knights requires Meng Han to apply to the king of the principality, but his exclusive knights can be canonized without the king's permission. Meng Han was never stingy with the method of being able to win over people, and immediately canonized the two of them as his exclusive knights, and ordered them to manage the guards of Huangsha Town.
Said it was the guards, but Alice only found twenty of them. The elven archer twins were also among them, and the others, most of them were strong young men, and when they heard that they were setting up a guard to defend their homes and lords, everyone was very enthusiastic to sign up.
In addition, two Night Elves appeared, which Alice had jumped out of her own accord when she was recruiting the Guardians. Even before, Alice didn't know who they were. They look very similar to normal people, with only a slight difference in some inconspicuous places.
The Night Elves are an offshoot of the Elven family, however, they are disliked by the orthodox Elves because they are a hybrid of Elves and humans, and tend to look like humans. However, the Night Elves have a magical stealth ability that elves don't have, which is also considered their racial talent, as long as they stand still, activate this stealth talent, even if they are close at hand, it is difficult to detect their existence. This has also led to the Night Elves, who are naturally the most suitable scouts.
The number of people is not much, just not exceeding the upper limit of the personal soldiers that Meng Han, a baron, can have. Regarding Meng Han's arrangement, Qiao and Zhu readily agreed, more manpower would be a help to themselves, and with the two of them, they would not be able to take care of the entire Huangsha Town no matter what.
Finally having a decent escort team, Meng Han's mood was much more relaxed. Finally solved a hidden danger in a territory. With these twenty guards, plus the two little masters of Qiao and Zhu, plus the team of those people arranged by Magician Wright, I believe that for a long time, as long as there is no big change, the safety of the territory is no longer a problem.
"Your Excellency, you said you were going to teach us to do the math. Grace was more careful, and saw that Meng Han was much more relaxed now, and immediately made a request.
Meng Han had said such a thing a long time ago, and of course he would not refuse. The two housekeepers are his right-hand men, and they will have to handle many affairs in the territory in the future, if they can't even understand the accounts, wouldn't Meng Han be very troublesome?
A little more complicated addition and subtraction and some simple multiplication and division, the two women can still cope, which is enough for them to cope with the previous small business. But now, in the face of more and more wealth and more and more industries, this thing is already a bit stretched for Grace and Alice.
"Simple, simple!" Meng Han rubbed his hands excitedly, and immediately started classes for the two girls again, the feeling of being a teacher is really good, teaching people tirelessly, and it is really tired when educating people.
The mathematics of this world should be not bad, at least Antonio, a nobleman with a higher education, still has some mathematical knowledge in his head. However, compared with Meng Han's advanced mathematics that has been cultivated in 21st century universities, it is still not on the same level.
"Okay, let's start with the simplest lessons. Meng Han knew the principle of step-by-step, and he didn't want to let the two girls master such advanced knowledge at once: "Let's first do the four operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division." But before you do that, you need to learn a whole new way of counting. ”
Stretching out his hand and drawing ten numbers from 0 to 9 on the ground, Meng Han cleared his throat: "This is the unique counting method I want to teach you, these symbols are called Arabic numerals......"
The two girls were very intelligent, and within a few days, they had mastered the four arithmetic and Arabic numerals. It's just the first time I've come into contact with something like this, and it's still a little rusty. It's also slow to calculate, but the results are correct.
"It seems that it is necessary to improve this situation!" Meng Han looked at the two girls clumsily arranging vertical calculations, and had a little headache, if it was like this in the future, it would be a big trouble. However, there it is!
"Grace, call Carl and Casper. After Meng Han finished this sentence, he saw that Grace and Alice were both in good spirits. Usually when the lord says that he is called Carl and Casper brothers, it means that something good is about to be introduced.
Meng Han stood in place, pondering slowly in his heart. In this world, it is understandable that you can't build a steam engine, but if you can't even build an abacus, it will be a shame. As long as there is an abacus in hand, no matter how slow Grace and Alice react, after becoming proficient, they are also two calculation masters.
