After Lin Luo left, Lin Chunqiu still drank tea alone.

A moment later, a figure dressed in a Taoist robe walked out of the bamboo house.

"Brother Lin, wouldn't it be too early to tell Luo'er these now?"

Lin Chunqiu got up and poured a cup of bamboo tea for Lao Dao, and said slowly:

"It's a little early, but the time I'm waiting for is running out too."

Lao Dao was silent for a moment, then took a sip from his teacup.

"Poor Dao watched the sky last night, only to see dark clouds covering the moon, I think it must be my senior brother who made a move to cover the sky. In order to protect the best policy, Poor Dao specially prepared a gift for Brother Lin. I don't know if Brother Lin likes it. ”

Before the words fell, Lao Dao waved his sleeves slightly.

The next moment, a gilded token appeared in his hand.

"This thing ......"

Lin Chunqiu took the token and looked at it carefully for a moment. Then his cloudy eyes quickly brightened.

He took a deep look at the old dao beside him, and said with a cloudy expression on his face:

"Master Zhen, what do you want to get by cooperating with my Lin family?"

Lao Dao smiled faintly and looked at Lin Chunqiu calmly.

"What Poor Dao wants, Brother Lin should know best."

"Isn't the cooperation between you and me a clear card from the beginning?"

……

After Yang Dong's three steps and three poems, the capital and even the entire Great Zhou literary circle respected Yang Dong as a poet immortal of the world.

Although the evaluation of him himself is mixed, the four amazing works, including "Plum Blossom", have been praised by countless literati.

And the news of Lanxiang Academy was more like a gust of wind, quickly blowing through the streets and alleys of the capital.

In just a few days, there were no math students who went to Lanxiang Academy to ask for some news.

However, the gate of Lanxiang Academy is closed and does not accept any guests. There is only a notice posted on the gate that the public examination will be held in seven days.

All of a sudden, from the peddlers and pawns to the dignitaries, they all showed a strong interest in Lanxiang Academy.

At the same time, in a courtyard of the Imperial Academy in Beijing.

The mountain chief made a cup of hot tea, looked at the lake not far away, and muttered to himself:

"Your Majesty, he has finally taken this step."

"Lanxiang Academy, tsk...... This little eunuch is not very ambitious. ”

"But...... If you want to be on par with my Royal Academy, it's not worthy of it! ”

……

The Imperial Palace, the small building of the West Factory,

Yang Dong looked at the test papers collected by Shu Mouse, but there was a trace of disdain in his eyes.

"My father has said that arithmetic topics should account for more than sixty percent. How did you come up with this topic? Why are they all simple arithmetic problems? ”

When Shu Mouse heard this, he immediately lowered his head and explained:

"Yang Gong, you don't know, the difficulty of these questions has caused headaches for many bookkeepers."

"My subordinates invited many famous arithmetic masters in the capital to come up with these questions. If you are dissatisfied, I am afraid, I am afraid that ......"

"Rubbish, you can't do this little thing!"

Yang Dong opened his mouth to reprimand, and after a moment of silence, he added a question of equal difference series to the test paper.

He thought about it for a while, and made a basic version of the binary equation into it.

After that, his frowning brow slowly relaxed.

Although these two questions are not difficult, it is not easy to do them with the arithmetic development of Da Zhou today.

It is obviously the most appropriate to use it as the finale.

"Mouse, pass on the order, and add these two questions to the final test paper."

"In addition, invite all the arithmetic masters in the capital to Qunfang Building for a gathering, and say that my father wants to meet them."

When Shu Mouse heard this, a look of embarrassment flashed in his eyes.

What are you kidding, those arithmetic masters, each of them is a figure with an eye above the top. I asked them to ask the questions myself, and I had already spent a lot of money.

Yang Gong wanted to invite them all over, but it was really difficult.

But he thought about it, isn't my Shu mouse the one who shares Yang Gong's worries? If nothing can be done, how can Yang Gong continue to keep me?

Thinking of this, he immediately straightened his mentality, and made up his mind that no matter what means he used, he would tie those arithmetic masters to Yang Gong.

So he nodded emphatically and said with a serious face:

"Yang Gong rest assured, this matter will be handed over to his subordinates."

……

Beijing, Luofu.

Luo Operator looked at the test paper in his hand, and his gray eyebrows were twisted.

"How so, how so!"

"It's just an entrance test, so why is there such a problem?"

"Housekeeper, take pen and ink, the old man wants to study it well, what should be the solution to this problem!"

For the requirements of the head of his own house, the housekeeper has long been surprised.

The head of their family, Luo Operator, is often called a fool. The reason for this is that he has a fanaticism for arithmetic that is incomprehensible to ordinary people.

It is precisely because of this that Luo Operator's achievements in arithmetic can almost represent the ceiling of the entire Great Zhou.

However, it is such a ceiling-like existence, but at the moment he is staring at the test paper in his hand, and he doesn't know where to write.

In the same predicament as him, there is also a master of arithmetic in the capital.

They either tugged at their beards or frowned in deep thought.

It doesn't seem to be a difficult topic, but it makes them feel like they can't write it.

Of course, this is not because they don't know how to calculate, but because if they solve the problem according to the convention, they need to do a lot of calculations.

Therefore, they speculated that there should be a simpler solution to the problem.

As a result, an extremely strange phenomenon appeared in the capital. Those arithmetic masters who didn't go out of the door in the past. m.

At this moment, they actually gathered together, day and night, to discuss arithmetic problems.

This situation lasted for three days.

It wasn't until the school uniform was the head and came to the door that I really realized the terrible thing about my own Yang Gong!

A random question can make the arithmetic masters of the entire capital fall in love with it.

If you can follow such a master, why worry that you will have no future in the future?

Thinking of this, Shu Mouse only felt that his future was bright.

"Ahem, Zajiashu mice, I've seen all the masters."

Shu Mouse coughed lightly, interrupting the thoughts of the arithmetic masters.

When even one of the masters frowned, he opened his mouth and rebuked:

"Where did the eunuch come from, leave quickly! Someone is busy with arithmetic, so don't bother again! ”

When Shu Mouse heard this, he was not angry.

After all, everyone is a master, and it's nothing to reprimand yourself.

Besides, he won't delay Yang Gong's good deeds because of a momentary impulse.

I saw him bow slightly, and said again:

"Masters, my Yang Gong wants to invite you to have a drink, I wonder if you can enjoy your face?"

"By the way, the arithmetic questions on the test papers in your hands are from my Yang Gong. He said he had a standard answer there. ”

Some people died, but not completely......
