People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 170
Di Zhixun shook his head helplessly and said, "Where did the demon fire come from? It's just human beings."

Di Renjie rolled his eyes, full of curiosity about many things here.

On a high platform at the Lantern Festival, many people stood around.

The scholars present were all waiting for Li Zheng's arrival.

But I didn't see Li Zhenglai until the fast time, let alone the leader of the five surnames.

No one came from either side.

"What does it mean?"

"Maybe this is the end of the matter."

Someone said: "There was a big fire in Chang'an today, and the gentry in Chang'an city couldn't come, so Li Zheng always had to come."

"That's right, Li just wants to be a coward?"

"Didn't Li Zheng not dare to come and let us wait here for nothing?"

"Let's go to Jingyang to discuss an explanation!"

"go!"

Di Renjie watched the crowd heading towards Jingyang, and Di Renjie asked in a low voice, "Father, what are they going to do?"

Di Zhixun smiled and said, "Come on, let's go and have a look."

The entrance to the village in Jingyang County is still guarded.

A large group of scholars came here, but they were stopped when they wanted to enter the village.

Li Yifu rushed over and asked, "Everyone, what do you want to do?"

"We're here to see Li Zheng. Does Li Zheng want to be a coward today?"

"That's right! Why doesn't Li Zheng come to the Lantern Festival competition as agreed upon!"

After listening to what they said, Li Yifu walked back to the village, and after a while, Daniel came in front of everyone.

First saluted slightly, Daniel said to everyone: "The teacher said, what happened in Chang'an today prevented many people from coming to the Lantern Festival. The teacher said that it is invincible to have no opponent."

"Won't you win?"

As soon as the words came out, the crowd immediately exploded.

"Is that why Li Zheng doesn't take me seriously?"

Daniu took the sign from Li Yifu, stood on the ground and said, "It's fine if you want to see the teacher, but you have to pass my test first."

"You! A young boy, I advise you to let Li Zheng come out as soon as possible. What kind of a hero is hiding in the village?"

"Yes, what a hero."

Daniu pointed to the sign standing beside him and said, "Whoever can answer my question, you can go to see the teacher."

Everyone turned their heads to look at the sign standing beside it. There were five words written on it: "One question, one consistent money."

Di Zhixun looked amused, what is Li Zheng really doing.

Money always?

This kid is really so confident to let a kid who looks like a child deal with so many scholars.

Pulling his son, Di Zhixun whispered, "Look carefully and don't look around."

Di Renjie stopped his gaze obediently, followed his father's gaze, and observed the man standing in front of a group of scholars.

Some people want to turn around and leave now, but some people are not reconciled and look at Daniel with a dissatisfied expression.

A well-mannered middle-aged man stepped forward and said, "Are you Li Zheng's student?"

"Exactly." Daniel nodded.

"Well, the old man wants to see what kind of questions you can come up with that can beat the old man?"

Daniu pointed to the sign beside him, and asked about consistent money.

The middle-aged scholar took out his money bag and handed it to Daniel, "I should have consistent money here."

Daniel opened the purse, looked at it, weighed it again, and then nodded.

"Please come up with a question."

"Then please listen well." Daniel cleared his throat and said with an adult appearance: "With nine hundred and ninety-nine coins, you can buy a thousand pears and fruits, and you can buy nine pears for eleven dollars. Fruits, You can buy seven for four renminbi. Ask me how many pears and fruits, and how much will you pay for each?"

"This..." The middle-aged scholar immediately made plans.

The scholars and scholars below also discussed for a while, unable to answer for a long time.

"Little brother, can you say the question again."

Daniel recounted the topic again, and someone below wrote the topic with a pen and circulated it to each other.

"Have you figured it out?" The middle-aged scholar who paid the money immediately called for help outside the venue.

A group of people below are doing calculations.

Daniel was a little proud. This was a question his teacher taught him a few days ago. At the beginning, he was trying to make up the number one by one. When he was going to make up the number of nine hundred and ninety-nine, he knew that the method to solve the problem was not difficult at all.

The teacher also said that if it was Li Chunfeng, he might be able to solve it.

Now Li Chunfeng might still be unable to get out of Chang'an City.

The middle-aged scholar stepped back again and again and said, "Give me some time."

Di Zhixun found it more and more interesting. A ten-year-old boy posed a question, which stumped nearly a hundred scholars present.

Daniel looked at the crowd and said, "Is there anyone else coming?"

Another scholar stepped forward and said, "Let me try."

After paying the consistent money, the scholar said, "Please come up with a question."

After roughly confirming the amount of money, Daniel said: "Then listen carefully."

"General Han Xin trains troops, every three people in a row, and there is one more soldier, every five people is in a row, and there are two more people. Every seven people are in a row, and there are four people, and there are 13 people in a row, and there are six people. How many soldiers?"

"..."

As soon as the topic came out, the scene was quiet again.

"What are these topics?" Someone scratched their heads.

Someone just walked away, "It's too bullying!"

"Is this question calculated by humans?"

Someone said loudly: "We all know that Hou of Jingyang County has made quite high achievements in mathematics. Even Daoist Li Chunfeng admires him for his ability to come up with a problem that is not mathematics."

Someone shouted: "That's right! If you have the ability, don't ask questions about mathematics."

Daniel smiled and said, "Then I will come up with a simple question?"

Immediately, someone handed in a consistent amount of money and said, "Please come up with a question."

Daniel took a piece of charcoal and drew nine dots on a wooden board to form a nine-square grid. The origins were three rows and three columns, forming a square.

After finishing the painting, Daniel said: "Now, connect these nine dots with a straight line."

"What's so difficult about it?" Someone said immediately.

Daniel then added: "Four lines connect nine points in series, and one stroke is completed."

"Simple!"

As soon as the words fell, someone immediately began to draw, full of confidence, this topic is really too simple.

But when I really drew it, I was stunned. Four straight lines and nine points in series cannot be completed in one stroke.

Some people tried several times, but it still didn't work.

The scholars and scholars all looked at each other, but no one could draw it.

Gradually someone discovered the problem.

"It's simply not possible to do it all at once."

Di Renjie also drew dots on the ground, thinking carefully about how to draw this picture.

To connect from the beginning, there must be four straight lines connecting the four sides of the periphery, and there must be a fifth straight line at the points to be connected to the center line.

Whether it is a vertical or horizontal connection, the fifth line is indispensable.

Looking up at his father, Di Zhixun, he said, "Father, how should I draw this? I think it's impossible to connect without a fifth straight line."

　I'll make it up tonight, there's been a lot going on recently.
