Seeing Ye Xingyuan's serious expression and concentration, the red-clothed girl couldn't help but step forward to watch curiously, but when she saw the circle and fork symbols on the paper, she couldn't help but sneer in her heart.

What kind of messy ghost painting is this? The red-clothed girl thought to herself, no wonder the young lady said that these Central Plains people can't do anything else, and they are all top experts.

The algorithm of this problem, she has also seen Miss personally try, fiddling with calculations, repeatedly superimposing calculations, borrowing the principle of heaven, calculating all kinds of changes, and then coming up with a jaw-dropping big number. Just by scribbling on this scholar's paper, how can you figure it out?

The red-clothed girl looked away, she mainly focused on a few arithmetic masters in the Hanjiang Mansion, they represented the highest level of arithmetic in the mansion, so that she could also take a peek at the leopard and see how far the arithmetic in the Central Plains had developed.

Among them, the two accounting rooms invited by Zhang Gongzi are exquisite, and they are also among the objects of Miss Ding's attention, but the speed at which these two people finger fiddle with the abacus has also slowed down.

So far, they have only solved a small half, but at this time, the scale of calculations has far exceeded the scope of ordinary calculations, and the data that needs to be processed is extremely complex. They also have to carefully check and memorize, lest they make a mistake and fall short.

The red-clothed girl has seen the changes in their abacus, and she already knows in her heart that this progress is only one-fifth at most. Even if it was smooth sailing, there were no mistakes or omissions in the middle, and when they calculated the final result, it would be at least before dusk. Is this the level of arithmetic in Hangang Province?

The rest of the people performed even worse, in fact, at least half of them didn't know how to start at all, they were just embarrassed to retreat and calculate randomly. So the red-clothed girl nodded secretly, it seems that as Miss expected, this first level can eliminate seventy or eighty percent of people, so as not to disturb more in the next two levels.

After turning around, the red-clothed girl fluttered away and reported the progress to Ding Huakui. At this time, Ye Xingyuan was still sitting on the ground as steady as Mount Tai, and under his full attention, the things outside his body could no longer affect him.

If so, this kind of complicated operation is a great test of mental power, Ye Xingyuan can't withstand it at all, and it must be completed with the help of computing tools or the cooperation of multiple people. But Ye Xingyuan now has a vast body, and his spiritual power is abundant, and he is still refreshed after a morning, and he does not feel like he is in a coma, and he has to sigh again that the Divine Power of Heaven is really the most important reliance of a scholar.

The elimination element has almost been completed, and the next step is to substitute, and the usual indefinite equation is done here, and the result is almost two or three times. Because this question is of an order of magnitude, the calculation process will take some more time.

Ye Xingyuan suddenly felt hungry in his stomach, raised his head and saw that the sun was blazing outside the cabin, and it was already noon, so he put down the charcoal and smiled at his little friend: "Do you want to eat first?"

Meals are served on board, but most of the others don't have the heart to eat and are still working on the calculations. Lu Weiwei said happily: "Cousin, are you done?"

Lu Wei doesn't know arithmetic, but he can look at other people's expressions, and Ye Xingyuan can still laugh now, which naturally shows that he is confident. Lu Wei peeked at Zhang Gongzi again, and saw that he was still buried in helping the two bookkeepers, in a hurry, far less calm than Ye Xingyuan.

Ye Xingyuan replied: "It's not done yet, but I already have a clue, and it will be almost half an hour away." Heaven and earth are the biggest eaters, you take this for me first. ”

He handed Lu Wei a thick wad of scratch paper, and several of the key data were copied several times, so as not to make a mistake later. Lu Wei looked down at the symbols on the draft of the calculation, and he was still blind and looked at it in vain.

A few people next to him heard Ye Xingyuan's words, and they were all very disdainful. Zhang Gongzi got up from the two companions, shook his head and said disdainfully: "What's the use of blowing the conch, I'll see the real chapter in a while!"

Zhang Gongzi only looked at the calculation of the two major account rooms, and knew that this question was extremely difficult, and it was impossible for him to come up with the answer by himself if he was old enough to be old. His family is well-off, and his father invited the Master to enlighten arithmetic back then, which is considered to be a serious study, but Ye Xingyuan, a poor student in a remote mountain village, how can he have the conditions to learn arithmetic, and it is strange that he can calculate it today.

Ye Xingyuan turned a deaf ear, just didn't hear anything, asked for food at the stern, had a full meal with Lu Wei and Ouyang Ziyu, and closed his eyes for a while. Only then did he start the afternoon calculation task in high spirits, and as he expected, it took about half an hour or so before he finally figured out the answer.

Ye Xingyuan checked the calculation again, there was no error, and under the premise of using spiritual power, the possibility of careless and sloppy calculation errors was extremely small.

After that, he took a blank piece of paper, copied the answer with a brush behind his back, folded it in half, and wrote his name on the outside, ready to hand it in. As for the Arabic numeral answers on the scratch paper, there is no need to hide them, anyway, no one can understand them except for himself, so he still lets Lu Wei hold them.

Ye Xingyuan sent the answer to the elderly deacon who was guarding the cabin, "Old man, the student has finished calculating, and I am here to deliver the answer." ”

The old deacon, who was dozing off, heard someone hand in his papers, and opened his eyes impatiently, and looked at the sky again. I took it and wrote down my name, opened the paper envelope, and couldn't help but be shocked when I saw the answer!

Before that, there were many people who handed in the papers, but most of them were just guessing and trying their luck, and the old deacon knew that it was a thousand miles wrong when he looked at the numbers. According to the young lady, the person who can get the results before the sunset in Hangang Mansion is already called a good arithmetic, and he needs to pay more attention, how can someone come up with the correct answer in only half a day?

But what Ye Xingyuan wrote was a large number of tens of millions, which was exactly the same as the answer in the old deacon's mind, and it was not bad at all, how could the old deacon not be shocked?

Suddenly, Zhang Gongzi's scathing voice sounded, "Ye Xingyuan, if you can't do it, you have to learn from others to hand in the papers and try your luck? I can tell you quietly, this answer is tens of millions, and you can't guess if you want to guess!"

The two high-quality bookkeepers have struggled until now, although there is no answer, the order of magnitude can at least be determined, and the answer must be more than 10 million, and I don't know where so many cattle came from in Heavenly Court. Zhang Gongzi felt that he was making the fastest progress, and when he was looking left and right proudly, he saw that Ye Xingyuan had already handed in the papers, and he was shocked at first, but he soon scoffed.

I've been calculating these two major accounts for so long, you are just a country boy, can you still learn any subtle calculations? You must not be able to pretend, you can only pretend to leave.

"In fact, people have their own strengths and weaknesses, if you don't know, you can go away frankly, but you just make up a number and hand it in, it really wants to cover up, which is not in line with the way of a gentleman. Zhang Gongzi proudly shook the folding fan and sneered.

Then he remembered that he had to reveal Ye Xingyuan's identity, and said: "The genius who learned nine poems in the dignified mansion didn't know arithmetic. ”

The nine poems are too shocking, and Ye Xingyuan's reputation is still a little influential in Fucheng, so although everyone is busy calculating the problem now, many people also raised their heads and looked curiously at this halfway poetic genius.

In such a dreary and difficult atmosphere, most of the scholars who could stay until the afternoon had some attainments in arithmetic, or invited companions who were really powerful. They originally regarded Ye Xingyuan, who was famous for his poetry, as a strong competitor, and when they saw the competitor returning, they couldn't help but feel a little gloating.

The old deacon held Ye Xingyuan's answer, laughing, he stretched out his hand to ask Ye Xingyuan to go out, and said: "Ye Gongzi answered this question correctly, and he is the first place, you can go out of the cabin to drink tea, and my young lady has a little heart to serve it." ”

Zhang Gongzi first saw the gesture of the old deacon inviting Ye Xingyuan, and couldn't help laughing. was about to make another sarcastic remark, but suddenly heard what the old deacon said, and couldn't help but be stunned.

How is this possible? My two companions should have tried their best to calculate, but so far it is only half of the calculation, how can Ye Xingyuan calculate the correct answer so quickly?

Zhang Gongzi was in a daze, and suddenly reached out to snatch the draft in Lu Wei's hand. Lu Wei didn't dare to fight with him, and subconsciously let go of his hand, and a stack of manuscript paper was torn apart by Zhang Gongzi and fell to the ground like a heavenly girl.

Zhang Gongzi grabbed a page with his hand, and after reading it carefully, he was even more dumbfounded. There are all ghost drawings on them, and he doesn't know any of them, so he can't see what Ye Xingyuan wrote.

The old deacon's face sank, and he stepped forward to snatch the draft from Zhang Gongzi's hand, "The first level of arithmetic is still in progress, if you declare your withdrawal, you can ask Ye Gongzi for the answer." At this time, you must not make a mistake, otherwise you will be punished for cheating and expelled from this place!"

This can be regarded as his recognition of Zhang Gongzi as the prefect's biological son, and he must always give a few thin noodles, otherwise he can snatch someone else's draft, and he can be regarded as a fraud peek, and he can be driven out directly.

Ye Xingyuan looked at Zhang Gongzi coldly, and if he didn't pretend at this time, when would he wait? Originally, he planned to use the high-level elementary school skills such as "Ninety-Nine Multiplication Table" and "Four Operations" to pretend proudly, but the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, so he finally had the opportunity to pretend at this time.

So he said in a light tone: "Your Excellency is smart, do you want to pretend to be righteous indignant and peek at the answers on my manuscript? It's a pity that my arithmetic is self-granted, and it contains the truth of heaven, and it is completely different from your mortal algorithms, so I leave this arithmetic manuscript for you to read carefully, and you have wasted your efforts!"

Hearing this, the souls of everyone in the cabin shook when they heard this, and they always had a feeling of unfairness in the Heavenly Dao, and perhaps there would be some demons in their hearts.

Zhang Gongzi was so angry that he smoked, but he couldn't get started. He knew that if he continued to make trouble, he would be in danger of being expelled from the Oiran Conference. There are still two levels after that, and there is still time to find the scene, so I can only endure this breath for the time being.

After making up his mind, Zhang Gongzi swallowed his anger and retreated to the two companions, his heart was ruthless, and he hurriedly urged them to calculate as soon as possible.

Ye Xingyuan strode out of the hatch with his head held high. Ouyang Ziyu followed closely, and also felt honored, Lu Wei picked up the draft indiscriminately, and also chased it out diligently.

In the cabin, there was a gloom. On the poetry, Ye Xingyuan himself is a legend like a miracle, and everyone is not sure that he can defeat Ye Xingyuan.

But the Oiran Conference is a test of all-round quality, if Ye Xingyuan has other weaknesses, the three levels may not be able to pass smoothly. But even in this way of counting, he actually has a god-given talent, so what confidence do others have to grab the first?
