When Li Nianfan came over last time, he didn't have time to take a good stroll, but this time he was too leisurely.

Moreover, the palaces of the Xia Dynasty have obviously been improved and are a lot more luxurious.

But at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, and then I saw Zhou Yunwu striding over, looking hurried, and when he saw Li Nianfan, he suddenly smiled, and arched his hand: "Yunwu has seen Mr." ”

Li Nianfan also returned the favor, "King Zhou." ”

Zhou Yunwu said sincerely: "Last time the Xia Dynasty was worried about internal and external troubles, I couldn't entertain Mr. well, Yunwu has always felt deeply guilty, and now it is rare for Mr. to come over, this time I must do the friendship of the landlord." ”

Next, Zhou Yunwu personally took Li Nianfan to wander around the hall, with an earnest attitude, which made many palace maids and subordinates look sideways, extremely surprised, and didn't know where this was coming.

You must know that King Zhou has never been humble or arrogant, showing his royal spirit, and even putting forward the theory that mortals should be self-reliant, but it has never been like now.

Humility, yes, is humility!

From the main hall to the apse, then went to the prison to increase knowledge, and then came to the back garden, and walked around the palace of the Xia Dynasty.

Zhou Yunwu introduced various things along the way, and at the same time explained to Li Nianfan the various major events that happened in the Xia Dynasty, focusing on how the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and how optimistic the current situation is.

He is obviously the king, but he has a feeling of reporting work, and Li Nianfan's sentence is good, which immediately makes his heart flutter.

Everyone came to the back garden, where there were flowers, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, and a few big koi fish were fluttering under the water.

Li Nianfan was enjoying the scenery and smiled at Long'er: "Long'er, look, your kind." ”

In exchange for a roll of Long'er's eyes, Nan Nan was giggling on the side.

Behind him, Meng Junliang looked at Zhou Yunwu, couldn't help but take a step forward, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, haven't you encountered a lot of problems recently?

"Sir has helped us enough, how can I be embarrassed to ask for everything?" Zhou Yunwu shook his head and continued: "Since the master has handed over the burden to me, I should pick it up! ”

Meng Junliang fell silent.

He understands this.

Zhou Yunwu opened his mouth and said: "Sir, I've walked a lot, sit down and rest, I'll let the next person make tea." ”

"It's fine. Li Nianfan nodded.

On the side, Nan Nan couldn't bear it anymore, and said, "Brother Nianfan, I want to go out for a walk." ”

The topic that Zhou Yunwu and Li Nianfan talked about, Nan Nan and Long Er were naturally not interested at all, and they were already impatient.

Li Nianfan also saw it, and said with a smile: "Go ahead, don't make trouble." ”

Zhou Yunwu hurriedly summoned a palace maid and said solemnly: "Take the two girls out for a good walk, remember, don't be the slightest slack!"

Everyone sat down, Zhou Yunwu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said expectantly: "What does Mr. think of the Xia Dynasty now?"

"It's good to live and thrive. ”

Li Nianfan smiled and spoke, but after a pause, he said, "But...... But there is a little shortcoming. ”

Zhou Yunwu and Meng Junliang were both stunned, revealing puzzled looks.

Although the Xia Dynasty is now facing a bottleneck, as far as the city is concerned, it is definitely the largest city in the entire immortal cultivation world, how can there be any shortcomings?

Zhou Yunwu said: "Please also teach me." ”

"Hehe, it's not a big deal, it's just that the entertainment life is a little insufficient. Li Nianfan smiled, "When the material life tends to be perfect, only the matching entertainment can be enriched to make people feel more satisfied." ”

This is actually a half-joke, but it is also true.

Entertainment is sometimes more conducive to domination.

"Entertainment?" Meng Junliang and Zhou Yunwu both showed thoughtful expressions, they were both smart people, and they could naturally detect the mystery in it.

Meng Junliang couldn't help asking, "It's just...... How can this enrich the entertainment life?"

"Look at this, playing cards!" Li Nianfan took out the playing cards again.

This deck of cards has just been made not long ago, so Li Nianfan still likes to take it out very much, which is one of his rare entertainment projects.

Looking at Zhou Yunwu and Meng Junliang's confused looks, Li Nianfan's smile became even stronger, "Don't say it, I'll teach you, come and play?"

"I don't dare to ask for it. ”

Immediately, a human emperor, a great Confucian, and a meritorious saint, the three of them gathered around and played poker......

Outside the back garden.

A group of ministers were looking forward to it, most of them in old age, and they were looking inside in a daze.

At this moment, a palace maid walked out of the back garden.

Immediately, they surrounded them, eager and anxious.

"How? What are the kings and the military advisors doing inside?"

The palace maid was taken aback and said in a trembling voice: "In ...... Play poker inside. ”

"Playing poker?" Everyone was stunned, you look at me, I look at you, and they all showed doubts and surprises.

"Who is poker? I want to play it when I hear the name. ”

"How can you let the king do such a rough job, this poker is so bold, we should be allowed to play. ”

"I understand!" An old minister suddenly showed his sudden realization, and began to analyze with a straight face: "Didn't the king come to receive a distinguished guest? It is estimated that the negotiation has collapsed, and this poker is the name of the distinguished guest!"

"You have a point. ”

"It's reasonable, that's it. ”

"Well played, well played!"

The ministers stroked their beards and smiled with satisfaction, and the king turned back from the licking path, which was gratifying.

"You misunderstood. The palace maid was trembling on the side, and she was about to cry in fright, and said weakly: "Poker is a game, and the king and the distinguished guest are playing happily." ”

"Play?"

"Confused, confused! At such a critical moment, it is related to the future of my Xia Dynasty, what kind of poker are you going to play?"

"Playthings are demoralized, playthings are demoralized!"

The ministers suddenly showed a look of grief, and they couldn't wait to rush in and risk their deaths.

"Well, this noble guest of the king is really ...... It will affect the national fortunes of my Xia Dynasty!"

An old minister suddenly sighed, shook his head uncontrollably, and sighed: "I just inquired, do you know, along the way, the king doesn't look like a king at all, he is obedient to that distinguished guest, and his attitude is extremely humble, and many people even think that this is a fake king!"

"There is such a thing? This is definitely evil! The king is not like the king, my Xia Dynasty is going to die!"

"What about the military advisor? What does the military advisor eat? Why are you also bewitched?"

"Strategist, don't mention it!"

A military general stepped forward, with grief and indignation on his face, and said with tears in his eyes: "Not long ago, the military advisor took that distinguished guest to the Dianjiang Hall, and they actually ...... Actually...... Woowoo woo ......"

Everyone was anxious, "What's wrong, tell me quickly!"

"He actually ridiculed our training in the General Hall, General Lin just refuted a few words, guess what, the military advisor asked him to apologize!"

"What?!"

"Confused, confused!"

"This person is going to kill my Xia Dynasty!"

The eyes of all the ministers were red, and some of the sensibility had already left hot tears, and their hearts were sad.

"This matter can't be delayed, you follow me to advise!"

"That's right, you can't wait, go together, and if you die, you'll die!"

Immediately, everyone hit it off and headed towards the back garden.

"Khooth!"

At the door, a row of guards drew their swords in unison, the swords shining brightly and murderously.

"The king is entertaining distinguished guests, trespassers, kill without mercy!"

This......

"It's not that you can't wait, it's not in a hurry. ”

"That's true, that's true!"

......

"To three. ”

"I can't afford it. ”

"Yes. ”

Li Nianfan put down the last card, "A four, I'm sorry, I won again." ”

"Come again, come again!" Zhou Yunwu's heart was extremely aggrieved, the key was that he couldn't accept this way of failure in the end.

He couldn't help but look at Meng Junliang, "Military Master, why do you feel that you have been absent-minded?"

"Oh, sorry, I'm thinking about something, I'm a little distracted. Meng Junliang's brows furrowed slightly, his eyes kept staring at the cards, and he always felt that there was something very important in his mind, but it was always fleeting and difficult to grasp.

What is it?

He watched Li Nianfan shuffle the cards blankly, then dealt the cards, and then held the cards in his hands and stared at the numbers on the cards with blank eyes.

Zhou Yunwu couldn't help but quip: "Strategist, this game is your master, why are you in a daze? You won't even recognize all the numbers on the cards, right?"

Digit?

That's right, the numbers!

Meng Junliang's body shook suddenly, as if he had just woken up from a dream, staring at the numbers on the playing cards with wide eyes.

At the beginning, the scenes that Li Nianfan taught them seemed to be playing back.

This is one, this is two, this is three......

"This, this is ......"

His soul seemed to tremble, and goosebumps all over his body made him feel like his scalp was about to explode.

"Whoa!"

He stood up suddenly, and the chair under his butt was arched by his butt and flew out several meters and collapsed to the ground.

"A simplified version of the figures! Yes, we count population, food, and many things, so why don't we know how to change a simple number to count? This is so clear at a glance and easy to understand, even the elderly and children are still easy to understand!"

He seemed to have been opened to the door of a new world in an instant, his lips trembled, his face turned red with excitement, and he said in a trembling voice: "Why didn't I think of it, why didn't I think of it!

His voice was hoarse and very high, and when it came into Zhou Yunwu's ears, it also made his pupils shrink suddenly, and his heart thumped.

"Whoa!"

The stool behind Zhou Yunwu was also arched out, and he said, "Army...... Strategist, you, what did you just say, say it again?"

Meng Junliang said excitedly: "Your Majesty, this is a simplified version of the number! If this method is popularized, it will be too simple to count in the future!"

"Yes, it's a simplified version of the number, and it's the blessing of our Xia Dynasty!" Zhou Yunwu was already a little unable to help himself, as if he saw a great grand occasion beckoning to him, he hurriedly took a deep breath, faced Li Nianfan, and bowed respectfully with a pious attitude, and said gratefully: "Thank you, sir, sir has benefited all the people in the world again!"

Meng Junliang also raised his hand and bent down to bow deeply, "Where is Mr. playing games, he is obviously mentioning us! Junliang has a dull brain, and he didn't think until now that he is really worthy of Mr.'s teaching!"

You're ashamed, I'm ashamed!

I really just wanted to play cards in peace.

Li Nianfan looked at the two of them blankly, his lips moved, and finally showed a look of relief, "Yes, the son can be taught, it's good to understand!"

Anyway, it's all like this, since the force is up, then you can only continue to pretend.

Zhou Yunwu said with reverence: "Mr. is really not a talent, he can even think of this method, this is a new number, and it will be passed down through the ages." ”

Meng Junliang even proposed: "Sir, if this number has a name, it is better to name it after you." ”

"Don't!" Li Nianfan immediately raised his hand to stop, "It's better to call it Arabic numerals, it's smooth and pleasing to the ear." ”

"Arab...... Numbers?"

Meng Junliang and Zhou Yunwu were both stunned, and then nodded in unison, "A good name, obscure and profound, but catchy, worthy of being a sir! ”

"Gotcha, gotcha. Li Nianfan waved his hand, feeling that these two were living treasures, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Do you think Arabic numerals are the only way to do this?"

"Could it be that there is still a mystery?" Zhou Yunwu's spirit was shocked, and he said respectfully: "Please also teach me, sir." ”

"Ahem, sit, sit down, learn slowly. ”

Li Nianfan made a gesture of please, and then said, "Xiao Daji, take out our pen and paper." ”

He began to write on paper.

"I'll teach you the addition and subtraction of numbers first, and look at it, this is 1+1=2. ”

"1+1=2?" Meng Junliang frowned and thought for a long time, wondering, "Why is this?" ”

"This is the symbol, the ...... that is easy to calculate"

"I see, 1+1=2, I finally learned. ”

......

"Next, I'll teach you the ninety-nine multiplication table, and come back to me. ”

......

More than an hour later, Meng Junliang and Zhou Yunwu's cheeks were already numb and stiff, because for such a long time, their mouths were kept wide open.

As Li Nianfan's explanation came to an end, their brains exploded directly, and it seemed that a magical door was opened.

"Daigo empowerment, evening drum and morning bell! Sir, this method, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the words of a saint!"

Zhou Yunwu was so excited that his whole body was trembling, just this one method was enough to make earth-shaking changes in the entire Xia Dynasty, this is the blessing of thousands of people!

"Indescribable, indescribable!" Meng Junliang didn't know what to do, and finally bent his legs and knelt down directly, "Only the five-body throw on the ground can express my admiration for Mr."

No wonder he is.

As the saying goes, when you hear the truth, you can die at night.

Meng Junliang, as a great Confucian, has been pursuing a Tao from beginning to end, but now, Li Nianfan has shown him another vast world, if it weren't for Li Nianfan, he would probably not be able to see it in this life, which is equivalent to the grace of recreation!

Under the extreme excitement, it is inevitable that this will happen, not so much to worship Li Nianfan, but to worship this new way.

Li Nianfan helped Meng Junliang up and said with a smile: "Okay, you don't have to be like this, this is just a new subject, it will be called mathematics in the future, this is the top priority, remember to let the children learn more, focus on practicing more!"

Meng Junliang and Zhou Yunwu nodded solemnly at the same time, "Certainly, definitely!"
