Chen Ping came this time to be invited by Wang County's order to come to the county government to participate in the boy's report.

The children's festival of the Dayu Dynasty was specially held for the purpose of discovering prodigies from all over the world.

Those under the age of 15 who can pass the test, compose poetry, arithmetic and other special abilities can take the exam.

First reported by the county to the state, the state government audited and then reported to the imperial court, the country supervised the completion of the inspection, sent to the book for re-examination, and then passed by the emperor himself.

The assessment of prodigies is generally divided into two parts.

The first is to assess the prodigy's specialization, which is commonly known as specialty, and Chen Ping's specialty is arithmetic.

This is where the prodigies show their talents, and whether they can pass the assessment at all levels mainly depends on whether the specialized talents are dazzling enough.

The second is to assess the basic level of articles, which only requires schoolchildren to be able to write articles that are not weaker than ordinary talents.

After all, schoolchildren are still young and basically don't have much life experience, so it is really too difficult to force them to write articles that worry about the country and the people.

And Chen Ping's biggest flaw now is in his writing.

The recommendation of the boy is not possible overnight, even if there is a nomination from the prefectural order.

For example, prodigies recommended by the county order must first pass the assessment of the county school and teaching before submitting the official list to the government office.

This level is precisely to avoid making jokes, so as not to directly recommend mediocre talents in the county's dizziness, and it is also the first screening for those who are indiscriminate.

So, Chen Ping met this county school teacher for the first time in the county office, who did not show up easily.

A standard old pedant, walking swayingly, with a strong sense of scrutiny in his eyes.

With a straight face, he first approached and glanced at Chen Ping, who seemed to be a little bit.

Glancing at Wang Xianling and Ye Lao beside him again, his eyes were full of doubts.

At such an age, he doesn't really need to care about the face of the county order.

This is also his professional need, only to learn from talents, not to flatter.

Chen Ping didn't act like a demon, but bowed down, just wanting to finish the process quickly.

I saw the old priest ask meticulously: "The people recommended by the county have to be assessed by the government together with the prodigies of other counties!" ”

"Do you really think that this son will not lose the face of our Yongshun County?"

Obviously, Chen Ping was too young to think that he was not enough to take on this important responsibility.

In the face of the stubborn old teaching, even Wang Xianling and Ye Lao couldn't do anything, and both of them set their eyes on Chen Ping.

Under the questioning gaze of the old teacher, Chen Ping did not have stage fright.

Instead, he said to the seniors easily: "The kid follows the master to practice arithmetic, but in a short period of time, he doesn't dare to say how much attainment he has in front of his seniors." ”

"But compared with other prefectures and counties, those so-called prodigies, the kid is sure to be able to beat his peers!"

These words are respectful, but the tone is full of arrogance.

As soon as these words came out, the old teacher grinned directly, and gently stroked his palm: "Good boy, don't say it, this heart is extraordinary!" ”

"Over the years, there have been many talented students I have taught, but they are not the ones who have achieved the most!"

"On the contrary, those little guys who have shown fortitude and determination since childhood, and who easily refuse to admit defeat, have a greater future."

For the praise of the old teacher, Chen Ping did not give in but directly arched his hand, and said: "Thank you for the praise of your predecessors, the kid will definitely live up to your expectations!" ”

With that, the laughter of the old priest became louder.

It seems that this son's heart is more confident than he imagined.

Of course, you can't easily get through because of Chen Ping's few big words, but throw out a problem in public.

"Naoda has 864 steps, only the cloud is long and wide, a total of 60 steps, ask how long and wide?"

As soon as he heard this question, Wang Xianling, as a Wenju background, did not feel anything wrong.

Ye Lao had already frowned.

This question involves the Tianyuan Technique and the Prescription Technique, such a profound arithmetic secret technique, he has not taught Chen Ping yet! The old priest smiled at the corner of his mouth, obviously deliberately trying to frustrate Chen Ping's arrogance.

Of course, this is just an over-the-top question, not a real test question, even if Chen Ping can't solve it, he won't directly lose the opportunity.

At most, he took advantage of this incident to find Wang County, who had been rich in money and food recently, to ask for some benefits for the county school to subsidize poor students.

Ye Lao frowned and tilted his head slightly, and was about to explain the difficulty of this question to Wang County, who was unknown to him.

Chen Ping didn't wait for the teacher to speak, and had already listed the binary equations in his heart.

If you use the arithmetic of this world to solve the system of binary equations, even if you know those complicated secret techniques, you have to write and draw on paper.

Chen Ping didn't need to be so troublesome at all, he didn't even move his pen and ink, but closed his eyes and calculated that it was only less than ten breaths.

He blurted out and replied, "Twelve steps!" ”

Elder Ye took a long breath before he stabilized his trembling mind.

I almost stood up and shouted, if you get this good apprentice, what more can you ask for?

On the other hand, the old priest was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head in disbelief, approached the paper in his hand, and carefully looked at the answer that had been prepared long ago.

Twelve steps!

After confirming the answer, the first thing that came to the old teacher's mind was not to sigh about any happy genius.

Instead, I feel that the questions and answers I prepared may have been leaked.

Otherwise, it doesn't make sense why a seven-year-old child can solve this problem in ten breaths.

No way!

The old priest put away his previous eyes, and his serious expression seemed to be back in class.

The old man's deep voice sounded, and he said slowly: "Next, I will come up with another question, if you can still calculate it by mental arithmetic, you will pass this assessment!" ”

"Boy, do you dare to give it a try?"

The difficulty of this question is bound to be higher than any of the questions prepared before the teachings.

In the face of the strong questioning gaze of the teaching, Chen Ping was not stunned or angry, and calmly agreed.

said calmly: "Please also ask the seniors to come up with the question, if the kid can't do it, he will voluntarily give up the qualification of the boy!" "What a level of confidence to be able to take the initiative to make a bet on such an occasion.

What the old priest was suspicious of, Chen Ping could naturally guess.

And Chen Ping knew better that no matter how much he explained, the old teacher would not listen to him.

The only way is to continue to show his arithmetic skills, and let the tangible evidence and excellent strength dispel all his doubts.

Sure enough, after listening to Chen Ping's wild words, the old priest instantly narrowed his eyes, and quickly deduced the new topic in his heart.

Wang Xianling and Ye Lao also began to get nervous on the side.

After a long time, the old teacher finally opened his mouth.

"Today there is a chicken male, worth five, a hen female, worth three dollars, three chickens, worth one dollar, where a hundred dollars buy a hundred chickens, male, female, chicks each geometry?"

As soon as the topic of the old teachings was said, Ye Lao was already angry.

What is this assessment? It's clearly blatantly difficult!

I saw Ye Lao's face turn red, and he scolded on the spot: "Okay, you old teacher, the official authority is really scary!" ”

"You put this problem in the county school, let those students who have already obtained the meritorious examination solve it, and see how many people can solve it?"

was scolded on the spot, and the old teacher also turned a deaf ear, he just stared at the silent Chen Ping.

I want to see if this son came prepared, but I don't know where I got the answer to the previous question in advance.

A child who is cared for by his elders will inevitably be distraught when he encounters such an unsolvable problem in front of everyone.

The mind is in turmoil, and the flaws are self-reliant.

He's even started thinking about when his exam questions were leaked and where to start his inventory.

As everyone knows, Chen Ping has silently finished calculating in his heart.

He raised his head, and his clear eyes looked directly at the old priest.

The old priest's heart was shocked, and a ridiculous idea could not be suppressed.

Don't........

Chen Ping's voice was low and firm, and he replied.

"There are three solutions to this problem, the first solution is 4 roosters, 18 hens, and 78 chicks."

"The second solution, 8 roosters, 11 hens, and 81 chicks."

"The third solution, 12 roosters, 4 hens, and 84 chicks!"

There was a dead silence at the scene, like no one!
