Thinking about this, Huang Tinghui is no longer clumsy.

He parted the crowd and took two or three steps forward.

"What are you pushing me for, do you know that I just pushed me and interrupted my son's train of thought?"

"The lantern of the county master, this son is bound to win, you are a bad person!"

The boy who was pushed by Huang Tinghui was a little angry.

was already a little unhappy because he couldn't think of the answer to the question, but now he has to sprinkle all his anger on Huang Tinghui's body.

"Hey, this son!"

"I'm sorry, I won't give you that lantern today!"

"The things sent out by the county lord are lived by the talented!"

Huang Tinghui is not an angry bag, he sneered at each other.

Although he wanted to move forward just now, he gently pushed this person.

But it was also an unintentional move, and Huang Tinghui also wanted to apologize before.

This person is so rude, how can Huang Tinghui apologize to him now?

"You...... You ......" the boy pointed at Huang Tinghui and said, but he quickly reacted, "You said you want to take the lantern?" ”

"Could it be that you have solved this arithmetic problem, how is it possible?"

"This arithmetic problem can't be solved so easily!"

"You're bragging, you're bragging!"

The boy showed an expression of disbelief, and he pointed at Huang Tinghui and couldn't help but say.

"Just let you say that you have an idea, and you don't allow me to solve that problem?"

"Isn't it bragging, don't you know if you look at it?"

Huang Tinghui no longer continued to argue with the person in front of him, and he walked forward briskly.

For a while, everyone began to discuss.

"This question is a bit difficult, has this person really solved it?"

"I think it's this person's nonsense, so many people present haven't seen anyone who can solve this problem!"

"This problem is difficult to solve, but it is much more difficult than writing eight strands, and we and other readers are all reading the books of sages, so how can we have spare time to solve the problems on this miscellaneous book?"

"It's just ......"

Although he wanted to win the lantern of the county lord in his heart, everyone was still unwilling to admit that he couldn't solve this problem, so he was inferior.

In the Dasheng Dynasty, where Baguwen was prevalent, there were not too many scholars who would delve into topics such as arithmetic.

After all, everyone reads for fame, and academics have nothing to do with fame.

Huang Tinghui didn't care about everyone's discussions, he strode in front of the county lord and gave a salute to the county lord.

"County master!"

"You solved the problem?"

Seeing Huang Tinghui walking up, the county lord hurriedly asked.

After all, if you can solve this problem yourself, you won't be too embarrassed in front of the prefect.

This is something that is closely related to my career.

Seeing Huang Tinghui step forward now, the county lord also showed an excited expression.

"The grass people are not talented, and it takes brainpower to solve this problem!"

In front of the local parents, Huang Tinghui didn't dare to say anything.

The county magistrate is a good seven-rank official, but in the area under his rule, his power is amazing.

"Hahaha, just untie it!"

"Just untie it!" The county lord stroked his beard and laughed.

"Master!"

"Pen, ink, paper, inkstone, take it and use it for this scholar!"

The county lord called, and his own master immediately brought up the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

"Childe, please use it!"

"Thank you, master." Huang Tinghui took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in his master's hand, and he glanced at the question again.

"Today there are pheasants and rabbits in the same cage, there are thirty-five heads on the top, and ninety-four feet on the bottom, ask the pheasants and rabbits how much they are?"

Translated into modern terms, this sentence is: put a chicken and a rabbit in the same cage, counting from the top down to have thirty-five heads, and counting from the bottom up, there are ninety-four legs. ”

"Ask how many chickens and rabbits there are."

In the Hereafter, this is just the simplest math problem.

Even if he has not learned the one-dimensional quadratic equation, Huang Tinghui has a way to solve this problem.

Some people may say that this question is too simple, but what the ancients were exposed to is different from what modern people were exposed to.

It's not easy for them to solve this problem.

Huang Tinghui used ancient numbers on a blank piece of paper to write down the entire calculation process.

In order to make it understandable to everyone, Huang Tinghui did not even use the binary system of equations to solve the problem.

The number of rabbits is twelve, and the number of pheasants is twenty-three.

Huang Tinghui put the brush aside, and he took a half step back slightly.

Everyone looked at the ink on the white paper, a little dumbfounded.

Many more are speechless.

It's as simple as that?

So easy to solve?

Most of the scholars who are accustomed to reading the Bagu text cannot even solve simple arithmetic problems.

What's more, it is the problem of chickens and rabbits in the same cage with a little turn.

To put it bluntly, even some elementary school questions they can't solve.

"Is that it?"

"The number of rabbits is twelve, and the number of pheasants is twenty-three."

Even the county lord looked at the few pens on the white paper, and he asked after a long time.

"Exactly!"

"County master, from the bottom up, there are ninety-four feet in the cage, subtract twice as much as thirty-five from ninety-four, and the rest of the feet will all be rabbits!"

"The reason is simple, rabbits have four legs, and chickens have two legs!"

"Subtract one, and the rest will naturally be rabbit's feet."

"Each rabbit has two more legs, and the number of rabbits is twice as much, which is the result of ninety-four minus thirty-five two!"

"That's twice the number of rabbits, that's the number twenty-four!"

"The number of rabbits is very good, that's twelve."

"Subtract the number of rabbits from thirty-five twelve, and you get the number of chickens."

"That's twenty-three!"

In other words, the answer to this question is, "The number of rabbits is twelve, and the number of pheasants is twenty-three." ”

Huang Tinghui explained this, and some people, including the county lord and others, seemed to understand a little.

I see!

It's that easy!

There was even a reader who patted his head fiercely, "It's so simple, why didn't I think of it!" ”

"I see, I see, although rabbits and chickens have different numbers of feet, they both have only one head!"

"I didn't expect this solution, I didn't expect it!"

"Who is this person, he looks like he is just a peasant family's dress, is he a scholar?"

"You even wonder if he is a scholar, look at his handwriting, can an ordinary peasant family write such a good handwriting?"

"This word is really good, even if it is a word that lifts people, it is nothing more than that!"

In the midst of the discussion of the surrounding people, the county lord also stroked his beard and laughed.

"Hahaha......"

"Hahaha......"

"Very good, very good......"

"This official understands, I didn't expect this problem to be solved like this!"

"Young man, you are a smart person, I hope that one day, you can also be named on the gold list."

"Be an official in the same hall as this official!" After speaking, the county lord looked at his master, "Master, bring the lantern to the official!" ”
