Chapter 300 Chapter 310: Battle of wits in front of the temple

Lu Dongzan started to make a question, only to hear his loud voice, and said slowly: "I made an arithmetic problem, the title is: The total number of pheasants and rabbits is 49, and there are [-] legs on the ground. How many pheasants and rabbits are there? "

Li Hao thought that he was going to solve such a difficult problem. When he heard this problem, he almost laughed out loud. In his previous life, he had seen this question more than once, and he had memorized the answers, so he didn't even have to do the calculations.

Li Hao immediately took a pen and wrote down the answer on the paper: "Pheasant 48, Rabbit [-]."

However, when he finished writing the answer and looked up, he found that all the ministers facing him were frowning and thinking. Obviously, they were also calculating this question, and this question seemed difficult to them. Among these people, the most serious Li Tai was the only one who turned his eyes up slightly, and his lips moved quickly, as if he was calculating silently.

Although Li Hao didn't have a good impression of Li Tai, seeing how he was serious about the calculations, he thought in his heart: "Li Tai is very smart and talented. He is proficient in various academics. He should be able to become a scholar. It's a pity that my mind was blinded by the dragon chair, and now I'm stuck in the mud, unable to extricate myself... It's a pity; speaking of it, the instigator of all this is Li Shimin, who spoils Li Tai too much, and fosters Li Tai's desire to seize the throne confidence."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help turning his head to look at Li Shimin, only to see that Li Shimin was also frowning in thought, obviously this question Lu Dongzan asked was very tempting, even Li Shimin wanted to try it.

Soon, the sand in the hourglass had leaked out, and Xu Lian shouted: "Everyone, please stop writing, otherwise it will be regarded as a wrong answer."

No one was holding a pen at all, because Li Hao had already written the answer. As for the others, the paper was blank. Except for Li Hao, no one had calculated the answer.

Li Shimin didn't work out the answer, nor did the officials present. This question was too difficult for them. In fact, this is normal. In ancient China, academics were not important, but articles. In the eyes of people at that time, arithmetic was regarded as Heresy, this also led to our country's technology has been stagnant in the feudal dynasty, the West is carrying out the industrial revolution, but our country is still kneeling down to the emperor and shouting long live my emperor.

Looking at the faces of the ministers looking forward to the answer, Li Hao knew that probably no one present could figure out the answer, because the arithmetic in ancient China was not developed, and most people would not study arithmetic, and wanted to solve this problem, Unless a professional arithmetic scholar in ancient times came to do the calculation, and even a professional arithmetic scholar, it would not be as easy to solve this problem as Li Hao, because the ancient arithmetic of our country is relatively tedious, not as refined and concise as the arithmetic of later generations.

Li Hao was suddenly filled with emotions. He has been in this world for some years and has not yet brought civilization to this world. Perhaps, it is time to spread the knowledge he brought to the world and let the world know the importance of these studies. In this way In the future, even if our nation is not in a prosperous age like the Tang Dynasty, we will not lag behind Western countries, because we have advanced technology. At that time, Li Hao may no longer be around, but these academics will be passed down from generation to generation and will grow stronger. ...become science.

While Li Hao was in deep thought, Li Tai suddenly said: "Father, this time, I have calculated the answer, and I will let you announce the answer."

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words. They had heard that Li Tai was proficient in arithmetic, but they didn't expect Li Tai to figure out this problem. All the ministers couldn't help but admire Li Tai secretly, after all, they didn't figure out the answer.

Li Hao looked at Li Tai, and saw that Li Tai was in high spirits at the moment, quite pleased with himself, obviously complacent about his intelligence, and at the same time, he was able to show his hand in front of Li Shimin, one of the main reasons why Li Shimin favored Li Tai One is that Li Tai is smart, he can learn everything faster than others, and Li Tai works very hard.

Li Shimin said happily after hearing the words: "Okay, Qing Que has actually figured out the answer. This time, the answer will be announced by you. How many pheasants and rabbits are there?"

"Return to Father." Li Tai clasped his hands, "There are 48 pheasants and only one rabbit."

"Pheasant 48, rabbit 49?" Li Shimin read silently, and at the same time checked it in his mind. Sure enough, it added up to [-], a total of [-] feet.

At this time, Lu Dongzan on the side also smiled and said: "The king of Wei is indeed extremely intelligent, and Ge Erdongzan admires him."

Being praised by the number one wise man in Tubo, Li Tai was so happy that he couldn't see his eyes, he hurriedly bowed his hands to Lu Dong and said, "Where is it, the Prime Minister is absurd."

"Okay." Li Shimin raised his hand and said, "Let's see how many of you contestants answered correctly."

Xu Lian had already taken away Li Hao's answer sheet, and now he showed the answer sheet and said, "Your Majesty, only the Marquis of Lantian County wrote the answer, and the rest of the contestants did not write." Hao's answer was shown to the crowd, and the crowd was amazed, and Li Hao also answered correctly.

Seeing that Li Hao also answered correctly, Li Tai was immediately upset. He worked so hard to figure out the answer. He thought he could surpass Li Hao, but unexpectedly, Li Hao also answered it. He was not happy. ,very unhappy.

In fact, he is not the only one who is unhappy, and Prince Li Chengqian is not happy either. Why, Li Tai and Li Hao have figured out the answer, but Li Chengqian has not, and these two are his greatest enemies. In this era, arithmetic is wisdom One kind of performance, Li Chengqian was surpassed by Li Hao and Li Tai in intelligence, could Li Chengqian be happy, his face was so gloomy that it seemed like a dark cloud covered the top.

Li Hao answered Lu Dongzan's question correctly. Lu Dongzan was slightly surprised because he didn't expect Li Hao to know arithmetic, but he was only slightly surprised. In his opinion, no matter how good Li Hao's arithmetic Powerful, but also limited, after all, Li Hao is only in his early twenties, he is too young, he has only learned arithmetic for ten years at most, but he is different, he has studied arithmetic for more than 20 years.

Next, it was Li Hao's turn to pose a question.

Li Hao had already prepared the questions, and said slowly: "Since Prime Minister Lu has posed an arithmetic problem, it can be seen that Prime Minister Lu is proficient in this way, then I will also come up with an arithmetic problem, but my problem is a bit long, so I wrote it down, in case other contestants have a bad memory and forget it in the middle." He said and handed a piece of paper full of words in his hand to Xu Lian.

Xu Lian took the paper and read aloud: "Old Wang sells peaches at a price of 450 yuan a catty, and he can't sell them. The peaches are about to rot, so he sells them for 300 yuan a catty at a loss. Someone bought a catty of peaches and gave them a tael of silver." , Lao Wang gave change, took the two taels of silver to the neighbor and exchanged it for 1000 cash, and returned to find the customer 700 cash, and then the neighbor found that the one tael of silver was fake, so he came to Lao Wang, and Lao Wang had to accompany the neighbor again It’s always money, ask Lao Wang how much money he lost in this business.”

(Readers can calculate this question together, write the answer in the comment area, and I will see how many people can answer it correctly.)
