Agents of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 423 Leave Zheng Xuan

Wang Lei looked confident, and said calmly: "Mr. Yuan Zhuo has already said the final result. If I say the result again, it is obviously meaningless. That being the case, prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and I will tell you how to answer this question."

"Come on, prepare pen and paper!"

Zheng Xuan ordered to go down, stood up and said: "Little friend, sit here with the old man, the old man will see how you calculate."

Wang Lei got up and walked to Zheng Xuan's side, and sat down without hesitation.

Xun Chen's eyes widened, his heart was pounding, beating non-stop.His heart beat faster, and he directly thought that the matter would not end.Xun Chen was anxious, but Wang Lei was confident, so Xun Chen could only wait and see what happened.

Not long after, the book boy brought a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and placed them on the stone table.

Wang Lei took the brush and wrote brushily:

Solution: Suppose there are x lamps on the top floor of the tower, then the equation can be listed:

x+2x+4x+8x+16x+32x+64x=381

Solve x=3

Solving a very simple equation directly leads to the final answer.

However, Wang Lei could understand this equation, but Zheng Xuan, Liu Hong, Xu Yue, and Xun Chen who was sitting next to him were in a daze, unable to understand what was going on?In particular, the strange symbols written by Wang Lei made several people even more baffled.It can be seen that Wang Lei is serious about it, and the answer he finally got is the same as Liu Hong, which seems to be the case.

Suddenly, Liu Hong's eyes lit up, and he said, "This calligraphy is vigorous and powerful. Your Excellency is Wang Zhoumu?"

Wang Lei smiled and said, "It's right here!"

Zheng Xuan clasped his hands and said: "Zheng Xuan, a villager in the mountains, pay your respects to your lord!"

There was a trace of respect in his tone.

Wang Lei said: "Mr. Kang Cheng is polite. It will be great if you can come to Jizhou. You don't need to salute."

Zheng Xuan was very curious about Wang Lei's solution just now.

Zheng Xuan went straight to the topic, and said excitedly: "Master Wang, can you explain what is going on? How is it calculated. Just a few simple words, and a bunch of strange symbols are listed. Calculated."

In history, China had the multiplication table of "Nine Nine Songs" very early.

However, the multiplication table of "Nine Nine Songs" is passed down orally, and there is no record of how to write it.Just like many skills in China, it has been passed down orally from beginning to end, and there is no clear record in ancient books.There are no punctuation marks such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division in Jiujiuge, and there are no punctuation marks in reading articles.More attention is paid to the meaning of reading a hundred times, so that readers can read more books and gradually understand the meaning.

After Zheng Xuan, Liu Hong, Xun Chen and others read it, they didn't understand what was going on.

Wang Lei scratched his head, and after organizing his words, he briefly talked about plus, multiplication, division and equations.After finishing speaking, Wang Lei explained it carefully again, lest Zheng Xuan and Liu Hong could not understand.

Even so, Zheng Xuan and Liu Hong were still in a daze.

After Wang Lei explained several times in a row, the doubts in the eyes of the two of them eased a little, but they didn't really understand.Zheng Xuan is a person who likes to explore, and said: "After listening to what Wang Zhoumu said just now, there is a complete system of punctuation marks, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and law. Please write a book and publish it. This way Come, scholars all over the world will benefit from it.”

A flash of inspiration flashed in Wang Lei's mind, and said: "Mr. Kang Cheng, for the sake of the world's scholars, I am indeed willing to write a book and talk about it. But if I am in charge, I will spend very little time writing books every day and do not do many things. Wait. I’m afraid it will take a few years to come up with a complete system. I don’t think it’s better to leave it to Duke Kang Cheng and Duke Yuan Zhuo to compile it together, wouldn’t it be better?”

Zheng Xuan hurriedly said: "No, no, this kind of thing, how can I let the old man take away your reputation. Once I edit it, the world will think that I came up with it, but this is Wang Zhoumu's whimsical idea, I can't Take away Wang Zhoumu's reputation."

Liu Hong said: "I also agree. Wang Zhoumu has to be responsible for this matter."

Wang Lei shook his head and said, "Mr. Kang Cheng, I put more energy in Jizhou and I am busy with government affairs. I really don't have enough time. You are a scholar. It is just right for you to entrust this matter to you. Don't refuse. , a set of symbols in the mathematical system, as well as some of the symbols I wrote in my writing just now, all have a standard. These are very energy-consuming and need the escort of a great Confucian like Kang Chenggong. With Kang Chenggong and Yuan Zhuogong together , I am relieved."

"So, isn't it..."

Zheng Xuan thought about stealing Wang Lei's reputation, but he was reluctant.He is an old man in his 60s. Once he does something, everyone in the world will think he did it.

Wang Lei nodded and said, "Master Zheng doesn't care for fame and wealth, and doesn't like power, but now he cares about everything. This is good for reading and writing, and it's good for future generations to increase their knowledge. Why do you want to refuse?"

"Master Wang is open-minded, and Zheng Xuan admires him."

Zheng Xuan saluted respectfully, his eyes excited.

Immediately, Zheng Xuan looked at Liu Hong and said, "Yuan Zhuo, you and I are about the same age, and we are also in our early sixties. There is not much time to waste. Why don't you resign and compile books with me to lay a foundation for future generations?" .”

Liu Hong frowned, he is the prefect of Shanyang County, he is going to resign...

With this hesitation, Zheng Xuan also had a straight face.

Zheng Xuan flicked his sleeves, and said coldly: "Forget it, since Yuan Zhuo is not willing to give up his power, the old man will not force it, and I will compile it by myself. Without you, I don't believe I can't finish it."

Liu Hong smiled wryly and said, "Brother Kang Cheng, what are you talking about? Did I say I won't help you? Well, I'm old enough to retire. I'll go back to Yanzhou first and take over the prefect of Shanyang County. Quit, and come back to assist you in compiling books."

Zheng Xuan said directly: "It's really troublesome, wouldn't it be solved with a letter?"

Liu Hong shook his head and said: "In the relationship between human beings, what should be done must be done, and we can't just leave and muddle along."

Zheng Xuan nodded helplessly and said, "Forget it, it's up to you."

Wang Lei was delighted that Zheng Xuan and Liu Hong would definitely stay in Ye County if they wanted to study punctuation marks.Only in this way can Ye County have great Confucianism sitting in town and become a holy place for scholars.Wang Lei looked calm, and said: "This matter is not urgent, take your time. Mr. Kang Cheng came to Ye County for the first time, if you need anything, just ask, or you can come to the state pastoral mansion to find me."

Zheng Xuan said: "Wang Zhoumu, I need Wang Zhoumu's advice on the question of symbols. Especially the algorithm for answering the lighthouse question just now is very interesting, and I also need Master Wang's guidance."

Wang Lei said: "I will tell Kang Chenggong as soon as possible, so that you can compile it."

With a good start, Wang Lei directly won the approval of Liu Hong and Zheng Xuan.The two had a great time chatting with Wang Lei.This scene made Xun Chen stunned for a while, looking at Wang Lei, he felt that Wang Lei was a mystery.What talent does this young protagonist have that has not been revealed?

These three are very powerful, what will be the next talent?
