"Ahem, Your Royal Highness King Zhong, don't snoop on others." Uncle Xie Fang saw that this guy was in trouble again, half annoyed, half helpless.

Zhao Mengqi shrugged, "I'm done answering, let's hand in the papers." ”

Yes? How long has it been since the answer came out?

Baiguan was also surprised, because the three exam questions were also posted at the same time, and even if any of them were proficient in calculations, it would take some time.

As the question officer, Ye Mengding was even more suspicious, the original form of these three questions was selected from various calculations, in order to prevent anyone from reading and calculating, naturally the data was changed, even according to the standard algorithm, it took a lot of time.

He walked over, looked down at Zhao Mengqi's scroll, and then looked confused, the paper was full of ghost drawings that he couldn't understand, "Your Highness, what are you drawing here, and where is the answer?" ”

Well, Zhao Mengqi came to his senses at this time, he used the mathematical symbols and formulas of later generations, and it is estimated that he can understand the entire Great Song Dynasty by himself.

"Hey, wait, some of this seems to be Tianzhu yards." Ye Mengding looked at it for a while and made some discoveries.

The so-called 'Ala Beat Number' was actually invented by the Indians, but there are many differences from the common writing method in later generations, and it has been spread to China along with the Buddhist scriptures, and the foreign trade of the Great Song Dynasty is developed, like the big food merchants will also use similar numbers, and it is not surprising that Ye Mengding can recognize it.

"This is my own for the convenience of writing, according to the Tianzhu number change, teacher, you wait, I will copy the answer."

Zhao Mengqi casually made up a nonsense, and then rewrote the answer in Chinese characters.

Ye Mengding was surprised again when he saw that the correct answers were really written out by him one by one, and at the same time he was full of curiosity about the arithmetic symbols and methods used by his students.

It's just that it's not suitable to continue to explore at the moment, so he suppressed his curiosity and desire for knowledge, put away the answer sheet written by Zhao Mengqi, and walked back silently.

"Uncle Shaozong, wait a minute." Zhao Mengfeng shouted to him, Shao Zongbo is the nickname of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.

Ye Mengding stopped, turned around and wondered, "Xiao Langjun, what's the matter?" ”

"Can you give me a set of calculations?" Zhao Mengfeng made a request with some uncertainty.

"Yes." Ye Mengding nodded.

"Uncle Shaozong, give the kid a set of trouble." Zhao Mengguan also took the opportunity to ask.

Ye Mengding also agreed, and arranged for someone to send it to them.

The abacus is a small stick of the same specification, used to count and calculate, at this time the abacus is also very popular, but it has not been perfected in multiplication and division, today's topic involves the Tianyuan technique, and it is more intuitive to use the calculation chip.

For a long time, calculation is the most advanced calculation method in the world, in fact, it does not have to be a physical calculation, people who are proficient in calculation can also simulate calculation on paper, such as Zhao Heyun.

After having the calculation tools, Zhao Menghao and Zhao Mengguan's solution gradually became smoother, but Zhao Mengxi could only stare dryly, even if he was given a plan, he would not use it, so he simply gave up struggling, anyway, even if he fought for the first place, it was useless, at most it was better to look good.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Zhao Heyun also signaled that he had finished and was about to hand in the papers, Ye Mengding glanced at it and showed a satisfied expression.

Then Zhao Mengqian also completed it slightly ahead of schedule, and Zhao Mengguan did not hesitate to write down an answer until the last moment, and Zhao Mengxi simply handed in the big white scroll.

One of the advantages of the arithmetic exam is that there is no need for any comments, the answers are not controversial, and you will know whether it is right or not as soon as you put it into the question.

Ye Mengding finished the papers one by one, and then handed them over to the three examiners for review, and at the same time, the three imperial historians also performed the duties of supervision, and finally handed them over to the Hanlin attendants to announce.

"First publish the answers to three questions, the first question, four large ships, five small boats, the second question, the door is nine feet wide, twelve feet high, and the pole is fifteen feet long, and the third question, 10,000 other 375 bamboos are needed to make a pipe, and 6,225 bamboos are needed to make a set."

After listening to the answers, a small number of officials also calculated them themselves, and most of them knew that the answers were correct after checking them in reverse.

Many people think that ancient officials will only do it, but in fact, this is not right, how can it be possible to manage a country without a lot of data calculations.

"Zhao Mengxi rolled, did not answer, and rated three times."

The officials all chuckled, today is the worst Zhao Mengxi, and he has also performed in archery.

Zhao Mengxi was ashamed, and Wu Yan, who had been pushing him hard, was also embarrassed, embarrassed, and made fun of him in the future.

"Zhao Heyun volume, all three questions are correct, combined with the time, the rating is two and one hit."

"Zhao Meng's volume, all three questions are correct, combined with the time, the rating is one on two hits."

"Zhao Mengguan volume, the second question is wrong, combined with the time, the rating is two hits."

"Zhao Mengqi scroll ......" Liu Shiyu also stretched his voice at this time, as if he intended to hang his appetite.

Today, this loyal king gave many surprises to Baiguan, but there are still many people who don't believe that he can answer the three difficult questions correctly in a moment, and the Tianyuan technique is still relatively complicated for most people at this time.

"All three questions are correct! It took less than a word, and the rating was three! "The 'word' in this is the unit of timekeeping at this time, which is one-third of a quarter, about five minutes.

As a result, even those who had a faint premonition were surprised, not to mention those who didn't believe that Zhao Mengqi had this ability, and the hall burst into flames again.

"Silence! Start voting. ”

The fact is clear, the result was not a surprise.

Zhao Mengqi, twenty votes, first.

Zhao Heyun, nineteen votes, second.

Zhao Menghao, fifteen votes, third.

Zhao Mengguan, thirteen votes, fourth.

Zhao Mengxi, zero votes, fifth.

At this time, there were still people who voted for Zhao Mengguan, and it could only be said that Yan Guifei had invested a lot of money and promised a lot of benefits to these officials.

According to the statistics of all six rounds of competition, Zhao Mengqi is eleven, Zhao Heyun is sixteen, Zhao Mengqi is seventeen, Zhao Mengguan is seventeen, and Zhao Mengxi is twenty-six.

There is no doubt that the loyal king Zhao Mengqi has won a big victory!

"It's actually the fool who won......" One official still can't seem to believe the result.

"Originally, I heard that King Zhong is no longer stupid, but I still don't believe it, there are iron trees blooming in the world, but I have never seen a real fool open his mind!"

"This is not just stupid, this is the best of the six arts, even if the two items of 'ceremony' and 'book' need to be considered, but the first of the four is clear."

"King Zhong is now less than fifteen, and he is so good, isn't he a genius from heaven? Even if all the young people in the Great Song Dynasty are found, no one may be able to surpass him. ”

"Hey, although there are other candidates of different ages, we all know that they are just foils, we just look at today, but I didn't expect that it was King Zhong who won."

"That'...... We've been planning for so long, and we've been so busy? ”
