Chapter 228: Mathematics, Little Genius!

His Royal Highness the Third Prince said.

"Land and population are the most basic and important foundations of the empire."

"So I thought, as a ruler, how can I not know anything about the land?"

"So, I've been working hard to understand all the grains and cash crops that can grow on the land of Dazhou."

"That's why I've been living in the land."

"Let Brother Xiang see the joke, haha."

Xiang Yan didn't think it was a joke, but said it seriously.

"No, His Royal Highness the Third Prince's attitude of seeking truth from facts is very admirable!"

"No society can lack talents like you who are willing to work hard and devote themselves to research."

"To say a great disrespectful word, among the sons of His Majesty, perhaps if you can ascend to the throne, it will be the greatest blessing for the country!"

The last sentence made the third prince fall silent.

After a while, he spoke slowly.

The emotion in the voice is difficult to understand.

"Since you know it's disrespectful, it's better to say less about it in the future."

The third prince seemed to have lost interest in small talk all of a sudden.

Instead, he got straight to business.

"What did you come to me for?"

Xiang Yan said the words she said to Xiang Yuyue to the third prince again.

The third prince asked.

"You mean, let me read the textbook you brought, and then write you those ten articles for the newspaper?"

Xiang Yan nodded: "Exactly." ”

The third prince who thought of it immediately shook his head.

"Nope."

"You can also see, I am so busy every day that I don't have time to help you with this."

"Besides, I'm in a similar situation to your second aunt, and I'll doze off as soon as I open the account book."

"Not to mention that you have to teach yourself some kind of math."

"You'd better let me go."

Xiang Yan asked again.

"I don't know much about the officials in the court, so can you recommend me a person who can do this, and then help me find him and handle my business."

"You also know, there are too few people in my hands who can be used, and most of the officials in the court have no friendship with me, and they may not necessarily sell me this face."

"So I can only ask you to come forward for me."

The third prince thought for a moment.

But he suddenly laughed.

"There's a candidate."

"And you don't have to borrow my face, as long as you show your face, you can do things."

The third prince said mysteriously.

"Let me ask you, if this house is three feet long horizontally and four feet long, how long will the line connecting the two diagonal corners of the house be?"

The original plan of the third prince was to throw this question to arouse Xiang Yan's doubts.

Then while giving the answer, lead to the person he has to say.

This proves that that person is indeed the talent that Xiang Yan needs.

At the same time, you can also pretend to be a force by the way.

Unexpectedly, less than a second after asking this question.

The sentence that he was prepared to say in advance, "I don't know, right? I haven't said it yet.

Xiang Yan immediately, as if without thinking, answered his question.

"Five meters."

"What's wrong?"

The rest of the words of the third prince were blocked at once.

Stared at Xiang Yan with wide eyes.

"How do you know? And answer so fast! ”

Xiang Yan said nonchalantly.

"How do you know? The Pythagorean theorem. ”

"It's very superficial introductory math knowledge, I'll talk about it in this textbook."

Xiang Yan raised the book in his hand, and then asked.

"What's wrong?"

The third prince suddenly felt as uncomfortable as if he couldn't pull out.

It took a long time to say.

"Okay, even if you are ruthless, your knowledge is quite profound, it seems that the title of bachelor given to you by your father is really not arbitrary."

"Actually, what I want to say is to let you go to Yuanhua's girl."

"Don't look at her like that."

"The problem I just talked about, when the two sides of the room are multiples of three and four, the length of the diagonal line is a multiple of five."

"This rule, but Yuan Hua discovered it himself when he was seven years old!"

Xiang Yan suddenly became interested.

"She found it herself? Didn't read any books, or have anyone to guide or guide you? ”

The third prince nodded.

"Yes, it's herself, alone, independent, discovered!"

Xiang Yan's face was full of surprise for a moment.

In this way, Yuan Hua is still a little genius in mathematics!

Then it is indeed more appropriate to go to Yuanhua to do this.

Xiang Yan immediately thanked the third prince, and then went straight to Princess Yuanhua's mansion.

When he arrived at the gate of Princess Yuanhua's mansion, since he didn't need to inform Xiang Yan now, he could freely enter and leave Princess Yuanhua's mansion.

So Ben didn't have to deal with the guards on the Yuan Mansion anymore.

But Xiang Yan's mind turned, but he stopped and asked.

"Is the princess in the house?"

The guard at the door immediately replied enthusiastically, in.

Xiang Yan was satisfied, and another person gave a reward of a few taels of silver.

These small favors, Xiang Yan is deliberate, this kind of little foreshadowing, maybe one day will come in handy.

And even if there won't be a day when it will come in handy.

For Xiang Yan, it was just a little bit of silver.

For Xiang Yan's family property of one million taels of silver, it is not even a loss.

After the unintentional little act was done, Xiang Yan raised his feet and entered Princess Yuanhua's mansion.

By the way, for the little act just now, it's nothing to give a little broken silver.

But be careful, you can't give every time you come.

To make the guards feel that Xiang Yan was satisfied.

This is important.

After all, Dou Mien, Shengmi hatred.

After asking a few maids in the mansion and learning the location of Princess Yuanhua in the mansion, Xiang Yan went straight to that place.

When I saw Yuan Hua, she was stroking the piano alone.

A woman like Yuan Hua was required to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child.

So she has good piano skills.

Xiang Yan saw that she was very interested, so she didn't interrupt her.

Instead, she waited quietly for her song to end.

When the sound of the piano stopped, although Princess Yuanhua did not turn her head, she knew that Xiang Yan was already in that place.

So he asked with a chuckle.

"How? Does it play well? ”

Although Xiang Yan has an advantage over the people of Da Zhou in terms of knowledge.

But when it comes to this kind of aspect, it's a big old man, how can you tell if it plays well or not.

So he could only praise vaguely.

"It's good."

Princess Yuanhua asked again.

"After that, do you want me to play it to you often?"

Xiang Yan asked rhetorically.

"Are you inviting me to come over to you often?"

"Or are you saying that you want to go to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion to play it for me?"

Princess Yuanhua said.

"If you need it, it's not impossible to go to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion to play the piano for you."

Xiang Yan made a joke.

"Let the princess come to the house to play in person, then your appearance fee should be quite high."

"I don't know if I can afford it."
